### Status

**Gunter** is a young adult Griffon from Griffinstone and Garner's best friend and occasional frenemy. He's also one of Grandpa Gruff's foster grandchildren.

## Personality

Gunter is notably absent-minded and has his head over the clouds. He's mostly seen looking through space and downwards a lot and paying little to no attention to his surroundings. Because of this, he often stumbles and bumps into things and other Griffons, and is oblivious to what's happening around him. Garner, Gerard or Grandpa Gruff often have to tap him on the shoulder or snap their fingers in front of his face to bring him back to earth and make sure he doesn't hurt himself. Although usually calm, Gunter has a bit of a temper which is mostly shown in his arguments with Garner. He also acts rather childishly and cowardly on occasions, especially when he's around Grandpa Gruff. Still, he does have a more friendly side when he allows himself to show it and is seen to be helpful at times.

## Appearance

Gunter looks a lot like an owl. He has tan fur, slightly darker colored wings and tail, white heart-shaped face, fluffy redish-brown plumage, bushy eyebrows, and bright orange forward-facing eyes. His beak, which is insignificantly a bit jagged, and talon colors differ, as his beak is bright yellow while her talons are pale dark brown. He's mostly seen wearing a cherry-colored fez with golden yellow details attached to the top, which was given to him by Grandpa Gruff.

## Relationships

### **Garner**

Garner and Gunter are best friends and occasional frenemies. They've known each other since childhood and are commonly seen hanging out, but they admit that they don't know why they are friends, just as everyone doesn't know why. Generally, they enjoy each other's company, although most of the time, they tend to argue like little kids, to the point of Grandpa Gruff having to separate them. However, most of the time, Gunter and Garner actually enjoy fighting with each other as they consider it a "them" thing. Even though Gunter gets irritated by Garner he still cares for him and will help him at any time. Despite being friends, they seem to enjoy competing against each other and celebrating each other's defeat. When the two friends get angry at each other, they're never seen apologising. They are just back to being friends again the next day.

### **Gerard**

When not hanging out with Garner, Gunter hangs out with Gerard and the two appear to get along very well. They both come from upper class and high-society families, and share a common fondness for Grandpa Gruff's stories and like "making them sound cooler". Unlike with Garner, Gunter rarely ever fights with Gerard. The two claim to have a mutual non-agression pact and prefer to settle things diplomatically. Despite this, they still have their conflicts like all friends do, but are eventually able to make amends.

### **Grandpa Gruff**

Gunter is very fond of Grandpa Gruff and seems to be in a positive relationship with him. He looks up to him and hols him in high regard, which is especially demonstrated in his youth, although sometimes, he tends to behave somewhat immaturely when he's around him, which is mostly shown when he argues with Garner and later whales and complains about it to the elder. The red fez Gunter wears on his head was given to him by Gruff as a birthday gift when he was younger.

## Skills

### **Photography and Scrapbooking**

Gunter is very skilled when it comes to photography and has a talent in making photo albums and scrapbooks. He also helped Grandpa Gruff make his "Griffinstone Surprise Party Book", a book that includes photos of everygriff's birthday parties over the years and notes regarding what kind of parties everygriff likes.
