Conan Whitehead

## Conan K. Whitehead

**Conan Kent Whitehead** is a character that appears within the *Foxtrot: Foxes in Arms* universe. He is an English platinum cross fox who's among the civilians but still has a decent relationship with some of the others, such as the Skulk. Conan is also interesting as he's been depicted as having a bit of "natural fox" within him as well.

## Physical Appearance

Conan is a male fox who stands at roughly 5 feet 7 inches tall (1.7 meters) tall excluding ears, and likely has a more average build, if not slightly above average. This would make him roughly as tall as Sewell and Jess. While he is a red fox (*Vulpes vulpes*), his fur pattern is best described as being the Platinum Cross pattern. As such, his fur has several shades of color with black ears, mostly red and grey fur around the rest of his body with white on his muzzle, ear insides, and front torso. He also likely has white fur on his arms and legs with black fur on his tail, plus a white tip. Conan's hair is also a mix of black and red, and he has blue eyes, much like Arthur and Vienna.

As far as attire is concerned, Conan is commonly seen wearing a red hoodie.

## Personality

Conan is commonly depicted as being a happy-go-lucky sort of fox. He seems to be fairly extroverted, much like how Sewell is, with some traits like this including being quite energetic, cheerful, and outspoken. He does seem to be keen on making friends when he first came to the US from England, and he does appear to be quite friendly with many of those he meets, being quite impressionable based upon first meetings. And as far as his friends go, Conan shows that he does care quite a bit about those he loves, and will go out of his way to help in any way he can.

Unlike many of the other foxes who show up in the series, Conan does display some level of having a more feral side to him, namely letting out noises of natural foxes in some occasions such as the short yipping barks and similar sounds. This has contributed to some calling him cute to some degree. Aside from that, Conan is also fairly optimistic, and tries to see the good in people, even when they get off on the wrong foot upon first meeting. He does try to be fair and give people chances, and will act as a mediator between two friends or family when they wind up in an argument. Despite the fact he doesn't like it when people get into fights between each other, he still remains positive that things will get better, and has been described as being fairly pure in many regards.

## Abilities

The main thing Conan is displayed as having a talent at is skateboarding. He is considered a skateboarding professional and he is generally shown to be quite good at it, showing his ability to do tricks and many other things. Another one of his talents and hobbies is drawing, which he's likely fairly quite good at as well, though skateboarding seems to be his main passion.

He also has been shown as having some decent mediation skills. Whenever he sees two friends and/or family fighting with each other, Redding brothers Justin and Tom being a prime example, Conan would step in an try to defuse the situation, calm them down, and the like. It seems that his methods are fairly effective, as he has been able to talk things out without too much in the way of conflict.
