## Biographical information

### Marital status

Married

**Grandpa Garvey** is an old Griffon from Griffinstone and one of the Senior Group's frenemies. He's the grandfather of Grady and his siblings, and father of his grandkids' father and aunt. He's also best friends with Grandpa Gillan and Grandpa Gino, the grandfathers of Grady's best friends.

## Personality

Grandpa Garvey is mostly shown to be sarcastic and rude, especially when he was a kid. His best friends are Grandpa Gillan and Grandpa Gino, who often act as followers and are usually seen by his side, much like Gunner and Grace do with Grady. He also has some gentlemanly traits that he mostly indicates to his wife, Grandma Gianna. Seeing Grandpa Gruff and the rest of the Senior Group after a get-together with everygriff to come around and tell stories (back when Gallus was a cub), Garvey and his friends awkwardly apologise for their bad behaviour from when they were kids to each of them, admitting they had a lot of insecurities growing up and that they'd been real jerks. The members of the Senior Group kindly accept their apology by admitting they know something about being a jerk themselves, especially Grandpa Gruff. He even bowed and thanked Gruff, for his bond with Gallus inspired him and his friends to move in their children's houses to be closer to their families, which shows that he can be respectful and, sometimes, even kind.

## Appearance

Grandpa Garvey has brown fur, lighter underbelly, wings, and tail, and a huge circular bite scar on his left shoulder. His talons and beak are light brownish gold.

## Relationships

### **Grandpa Gillan and Grandpa Gino**

Grandpa Gillan and Grandpa Gino are Grandpa Garvey's closest friends, as he both appears with and relies on the pair more than any other Griffons he knows, though Garvey continuously calls the two "Featherbrains" for their stupidity and can get furious with them when

### **Grandpa Gruff**

Garvey and his friends (sometimes accompanied by their grandkids) all feel bitterly towards Grandpa Gruff and make fun of him and Gallus constantly, for many reasons, including their lack of family, their appearance and their 'softer sides'. They mock them incessantly and do everything they can to get under their skin. They usually refer to them as "Gawk-lose" and "Grandpa Gasbag", something that's later mimicked by their grandkids. However, when realising that Gallus ran off (back when he was a cub) and how important he is to Grandpa Gruff, their view on the two Griffons slightly changes and they start to occasionally be a bit more sympathetic towards them.

Particularly, Garvey disliked Gruff and held a grudge against him for a while after he scarred him.

### **Grady**

Grandpa Garvey tries to act like a responsible parent (like he does with his children), much to his grandson's annoyance. Deep down though Garvey loves his grandchild and teaches him a lot of things. His grandson's views on Gallus and Grandpa Gruff are mostly a result of his adaptation of them (even after his own change of heart towards them, he doesn't tell his grandson so he won't consider him 'weak').

### **Grandma Gianna**

Garvey thinks of his wife as a dimwitted but lovable spouse, while Gianna thinks of her husband as an intelligent and reliable spouse. Unlike most marriages in Griffinstone, Grandpa Garvey and Grandma Gianna get along well. Garvey has no regrets about his marriage and sticks up for his wife. While he knows, she's not the brightest Griffon, he doesn't really mind and isn't angry or aggressive. He just takes it. He describes her personality as carefree, bubbly, and gentle, declaring that even though she can be annoying, she's just too kind to not like and that, even though he doesn't say that a lot, there's no point in him doing anything without her by his side. In fact, she's rarely seen without him. The two face many problems as an old married couple but nevertheless, they love and care for each other. Grandma Gianna is also one of the few Griffons Garvey expresses his feelings to the most (one of the reasons being that his wife doesn't understand much of his ranting). The two also have weekly tea time together, where they sit on clouds and enjoy tea and chocolate-covered-strawberries, which they see as a way of showing how much they enjoy each other's company.

## Cause of scars

When Grandpa Garvey and his friends were young, they used to constantly tease Gruff due to him being the town's thief and having no parents. One of those times, Garvey threw Gruff into a mud hole as a way to taunt him. However, this angered Gruff so much that he fought back. The two got into a brief mud wrestle, which Gruff finished by biting Garvey's shoulder, leaving it with a huge bite scar.
