Timcanpy

Nea Walker (Former)

Cross Marian (Former)

**Timcanpy** is a golem who is currently owned by Allen Walker in the manga series, *D.Gray-Man*, and the *Fallen City* series. He has had at least two other masters, those two being Nea D. Campbell and Cross Marian. Timcanpy has also been shown to follow Lenalee when Allen is missing and fighting Akuma.

## Appearance and Personality

### Appearance

Timcanpy is a small, golden ball-like creature with four, stubby legs, the front two of which he can form little "fingers" with, a long tail that ends in a thick swirl, and two feathered wings. A *cross fleury* adorns his "face", and above it are two small horns. Unlike most other golems, which are mechanical, Timcanpy seems to be a biological being, though what his body is made up of is unclear as he has been seen being reduced to fragments with no discernible organs. He does, though, have a mouth, teeth and tongue, and he has recently learned to eat.

Timcanpy's size is subject to change; he started off being about the size of a ping pong ball, but gradually grew bigger as time passed. At the North American Branch, his size ballooned dramatically, making him easily larger than a person, though Allen later found out that Timcanpy, when asked, could shrink back down to a manageable size at will.

Timcanpy has the ability to produce holographic projections from his mouth, and he uses this to display the musical "Score" that powers Noah's Ark.

Once, Timcanpy grew hair, though it was only thanks to one of the many unusual tonics produced by the European Branch Science Division.

### Personality

Typically, Timcanpy is a very simple, almost childish creature. His curiosity frequently gets him into troublesome situations (or leads to him learning new things, such as how to eat and smoke), he is emphatic enough to be able to tell when those around him are upset and often tries to comfort them, and, as it is shown through his ongoing rivalry with Yu Kanda's golem (who Timcanpy once ate), and on occurrences when Timcanpy has almost "admonished" Allen that Timcanpy can become angry.

Most commonly, though, Timcanpy displays a steadfast loyalty to Allen and Cross, once almost refusing to leave Allen's side in order to avoid leaving Allen alone with the dangerous Noah Tyki Mikk, and, on another occasion, returning to the room Cross was, supposedly, killed in several times to cuddle with the bloodstains that were left behind.

## Back Story

Timcanpy is a golem, created by Cross Marian. At some point, he became the property of Nea. They got very close to each other.

He is known to have been observing Mana on Cross' orders when Allen met Mana. Allen first met Timcanpy and Cross in Lost Fragment of Snow; Timcanpy was the one who broke Allen out of the circus's beast cage he was locked in, and also stopped Cross from murdering Allen out of rage.

At Mother's church, after Allen recovered from the trauma caused by bringing back and destroying Mana, Cross reintroduced Timcanpy to Allen and let the boy keep him for the night, hoping he will have a more peaceful sleep, as Allen still have nightmares and cries in his sleep. Allen and Timcanpy instantly took to each other and became fast friends. Back then, Timcanpy is large enough to be embraced, and Allen is seen carrying Timcanpy around in a shoulder strap as he traveled the world with Cross and Rozanne, sleeping with Timcanpy in his arms and playfully hugging him.

When Cross abandoned Allen in India three to four months before Allen became an official Exorcist, leaving him with orders to go join the Black Order, Cross left Timcanpy with him to act as a guide. After Cross left to head to Central after the attack on the old European Branch Headquarters, he left Timcanpy behind again, claiming that the golem didn't want to go with him, and not long after Cross was reported to have died, Allen found a message within Timcanpy from Cross that officially turned ownership of Timcanpy over to him (Allen).

## Storyline History

### Bullet with Butterfly Wings

Allen sees Timcanpy in his head. The golem seems to be talking to him like a person. Whether this is a dream or Allen losing his mind remains to be seen.

## Relationships

### Cross Marian

Cross is Tim's creator, and the two seem very fond of one another. Tim always sits on Cross' shoulder, or head. Sometimes Cross will greet Tim by holding out his finger for Tim to perch on, as seen before he leaves for Central. Tim has the ability to track Cross. This is shown to be a problem for Cross on occasion. When he was drinking with Klaud, Allen finds and scolds him for his behavior. Cross, annoyed, tells Tim to go away, possibly thinking that he led Allen there. Tim is not above reprimanding Cross in his own way, such as biting his shoulder when he's reluctant to feed little Allen. Also hitting Cross in the face with a meddle bar to stop him from shooting young Red (Allen).

### Nea D.Campbell

Timcanpy was offered to Nea by Cross Marian. Nea refers to him as "his Timcanpy" showing his belonging. Though Nea has been stated to hate humans and to be a very lonely individual caring for almost nobody else, Timcanpy seems to be the only being he is really attached to. Timcampy in return is really faithful to his master, even after 35 years. Timcanpy obeys Nea's demands wihout hesitation, even if they can be malicious. However, due to his "former" master Nea trying to erase his new master Allen's existence, Timcanpy appears to have conflicting loyalties and is seen shedding tears of anguish when being prompted on the matter.

### Allen Walker

*Main Article: Allen Walker*

Timcanpy is Allen's (formerly Marian Cross's) loyal golem. The two care greatly for each other with Timcanpy even refusing to leave Allen's side when he was dying as he did not want to leave Allen with a Noah. Timcanpy is loyal to Allen, but is implied to be torn between his affection for Allen and his loyalty to Nea, as the latter is gradually erasing the former from existence. Allen, for his part, is shown to be very attached to Timcanpy from his childhood. During his run from the Order, he relies heavily on Timcanpy to elude capture, but it is later revealed that Allen decided to take Timcanpy along simply because he is terrified of being alone in the world, and he is devastated upon learning Timcanpy has been destroyed.

### Kanda's golem

Mirroring their masters, Timcanpy and Kanda's golem do not get along. The two are usually seen hovering over their bickering masters' heads and glaring at each other. Timcanpy once ended up eating Kanda's golem.

### Timothy Hearst

Timothy is very fond of Timcanpy. Allen often let Timothy play with Timcanpy and as they are often together they are called "the two Tims". When Allen and Timcanpy left the Order, Timothy was really sad not only because of the absence of Allen but because of the absence of Timcanpy. To soothe him, Komui created Kom-Canpy, but Timothy wasn't so pleased.
