Toon Wars: Shorts

Nyando is a recurring character in Frozarburst's Toon Wars: Shorts who originally debuted as an occasional background character in *Mighty Magiswords* by Kyle Carrozza. He was one of a group of 4 kids around his age normally reacting to things that occur in Rhyboflaven mostly due to silly antics the Warriors for Hire get up to. It was until Magiswords Echoes that he reappeared with a more major role helping the Toon Force take on the Echo Corp and shut down their Martyr Towers after being inspired by Old Man. Sadly, after the first assault of the towers, it was stated by Nyando that his friends were part of the causality toll in the Siege of Rhyboflaven. This did not stop him from quickly making friends with younger members of the Toon Force like Momotaro and Gumball Watterson, and was soon adopted by Bimm and Cattus the One Blade following the events of Echoes. He appears in Toon Wars: Shorts now living in the Castle of Rhyboflaven with his step parents and frequently goes out on missions with the Toon Force. Nyando returns in Toon Wars: The Final Days once more as one of the many survivors of the virus attack, having been rescued by Clockwork while on a mission with Captain Zange's crew in the Ghost Zone. He arrives to participate in the final battle against the Toon God and maintains his memories of the events following the fight. Two years later, he is part of the crew of the Javelin, exploring unknown space. He is voiced by Luke Ski in Mighty Magiswords then Dean Galloway in the Toon Wars.

## Appearance

Nyando starts off as a short purple cat (same color as Familiar) wearing red medieval attire, a black belt with a grey buckle, and a gray shirt and pants. However, after Echoes, he grew up and now wears a fancy pirate-like suit with dark highlights on his boots, red gloves, a gold stomach guard, and a blue and yellow orb holding his top cloak. He has yellow eyes and is usually seen with three whiskers.

## Personality

As a kid, Nyando is very much acted his age, usually having fun with his group of friends on and off the playground. He likes to tease but hates it when someone makes a feline stereotype. In Echoes, seeing the Toon Force in action inspired Nyando to go out to the field and somehow aid in the siege, which by then was going sour. His quick creative wits in spite of the high stress situation ended up saving the day, aided with his usual cocky Brooklyn accent. He isn't without fear, however, saddened that his friends were lost in the battle but grateful that Cattus would opt to adopt him. Nyando holds great respect for he and Bimm after they accepted him as a son, living with them at the castle and occasionally participating in the Toon Wars as an active member of the junior division alongside Momotaro, whom he developed a crush for.

## Trivia

* Nyando's voice was changed in Magiswords Echoes to sound like Chill Penguin from Maverick Hunter X, and also because a character with a Brooklyn accent, Simone, already existed. A reverse change would occur in Dark Disney when Blinx's American accent from *Blinx 2* was changed to Brooklyn.
* By facial features, Nyando heavily favors Bimm without her hair.
* Nyando was the second Magiswords character drawn aged up besides Familiar for the aftermath of Magiswords Echoes.
* When designing Nyando's older look, Frozarburst decided to give him more of a "royal edge" sort of style.
* According to the character, he once hid in Plunderbite's mouth. Why he did this is unknown
