Eddie Knightley

**Eddie Knightley** is the older brother of Lauren Knightley, as well as the love interest of Lemmy Koopa, being a recurring character in *Bowser’s Koopalings.* Eddie was first mentioned in The Slumber Party, where Lauren stated her brother got hit with a barstool during a trip in Ocean Side. He then made his debut appearance in The Cell Phone where he got angry over a prank phone call made by Morton, and wanted to find him and beat him up, however Lauren stopped him from going through with it. He also makes a minor appearance in "The Love Potion" alongside Lauren.

In Son of Morton, Eddie is a supporting antagonist, because Ally's father, Kane Rook, sets Ally up with Eddie to father her child, as he doesn't approve of Morton. However, Lemmy later confronts Eddie in an attempt to stop Eddie from dating Ally, and Eddie kisses him to show why he pretends to date Ally, because he is secretly a homosexual. Lemmy promises to keep the secret in exchange of Eddie breaking up with Ally, which he accepts. The ending of the episode imply that Lemmy and Eddie had developed a liking for each other.

Eddie's next major appearence, "Lemmy's Secret", show that he and Lemmy have started dating, but Eddie is too afraid of his sexuality being exposed that he requests Lemmy to meet him up without their family or friends knowing, which in turn causes Lemmy to skip work and irritate his siblings. In the same episode, Bowser Jr. catches Eddie and Lemmy kissing, and expresses his intention of telling everyone in Dark Valley to humilliate them both. This causes Eddie to vandalize tha cars of Camilla's brothers Kalin and Myles, pin the blame on Junior and convince them to help him beat him up. Lemmy is forced to tell his siblings and Travis about him and Eddie in order to prevent him from hurting Junior. After scaring Camilla's brothers into retreating and calming Eddie down, Lemmy tells everything to Eddie and promises him that his siblings will keep his secret, allowing the two of them to continue dating without many issues.

## Appearance

Eddie is similar in appearance to Roy & Morton, being a large male dragon-like Koopa featuring a pale yellow mouth, a single fang, though a second fang was presumably knocked out in a fight, claws on his fingers and toes and a tail. He also has a purple head and wears a purple spiked shell very similar to Roy's. He also has messy pink hair and pink eyebrows, and his entire body is covered in bandages, likely due to him always getting into fights.

## Personality

He is showcased to be a hothead, as well as insecure about his weight, showcased in *The Cell Phone* where he gets angry over a prank call made by Morton, as well as his tendency to get himself injured in fights. It has been mentioned that he has been hit with both a barstool and a street sign, however doesn't back down from confrontations despite this. His room also features a treadmill and a punchbag, and he is first sign lifting weights.

One of Eddie's main defining traits is that he is shown to be very embarrassed about his sexuality, constantly denying him being a homosexual in spite of being in a relationship with Lemmy. Eddie is afraid that it word of it ever got out, his reputation would be ruined and his father would kick him out of his home, though Iggy mentions that Eddie being gay is rather obvious due to the way he acts. Because of this, Eddie constantly puts on a masculine persona when he's out in public, coming off as somewhat aggresive, but in reality he's rather nice to those who have earned it, most noticeably Lemmy and his sister Lauren.

## Trivia

* Similar to the Koopalings and other significant characters names coming from musicians, Eddie was named after guitarist Eddie Van Halen.
* Eddie's character was created shortly after the idea of Leon Slater being Lauren's brother was scrapped, as FreezeFlame22 felt it would be a waste to have Lauren's brother be a character from another series since they would have no opportunities to interact.
