Flapjack

* Live
* Full wood

“
Week two of my palisman observations: Not too long ago, I was able to make mental contact with my pa- Um, I mean, the subject of my observations. His name is Flapjack, and I have to admit, I do not know what a Flapjack is.
”

—Hunter, recording his observations of Flapjack

**Flapjack** is a recurring character in *The Owl House*. He was the red cardinal palisman belonging to Hunter, before sacrificing himself to save Hunter from Emperor Belos.

## Appearance

Flapjack is a bird-shaped palisman, similar to a northern cardinal, with a scar where his left eye would be, red feathers with dark red wingtips, a dark red beak, dark brown feet, and a black face. He is shown to be able to open both eyes in "Hunting Palismen". In staff form, his staff is colored maroon. According to Hunter, his staff has a few notches.

## Personality

Flapjack is shown to be an inquisitive and free-spirited palisman, as he was curious about exploring outside the palismen pen before being ushered back inside. He is loyal and persistent, initially following Hunter and remaining by his side despite his protests. Flapjack is also shown to be caring, attempting several times to push Hunter to talk to Amity and later even splitting a goreberry to share with him even though it was all he had to eat. He seems to be reserved when it comes to his past, avoiding the subject when Hunter asks about it. Flapjack is also shown to be intelligent and helpful, breaking Luz out of her restraints in "Hunting Palismen", switching in and out of his wooden form to avoid capture and help his witch, as well as pushing Hunter in the right direction to help him befriend Gus after attempting to find food for him. Flapjack's devotion to Hunter was so strong that he sacrificed his own life in to save him from the brink of death in "Thanks to Them".

## Trivia

* It is implied in "Hunting Palismen" that before Hunter, Flapjack had been without a witch for a very long time.
* It is hinted that Flapjack knew Caleb Wittebane, the older brother of Philip. When Belos confronts Hunter in "King's Tide", he sees Flapjack and angrily says "Caleb", the same name Flapjack suggested to Hunter in "Any Sport in a Storm" to hide his identity from Gus and Willow. This also implies that Flapjack is well over three hundred years old.
	+ In addition, a drawing in the old book that Jacob Hopkins shows Camila Noceda in "Yesterday's Lie" had what appears to be a cardinal that looks very similar to Flapjack on the shoulder of one of the two brothers.
	+ A cardinal also appeared during the hayride show in "Thanks to Them" with Evelyn, the witch the Wittebane brothers encountered; Belos later references her by name when he injures Flapjack.
	+ This was later insinuated by Dana Terrace in the "Post Hoot" livestream, where she felt that Flapjack was Caleb's first introduction to magic. She believed Belos saw the creature as the culmination of the corruption in Caleb and responsible for his brother's "betrayal", as Flapjack was Caleb's first introduction to magic.
		- She also stated she does not think Flapjack had Evelyn's soul, but was his own entity.
* In the Latin Spanish dub, the name given to Flapjack is "Bandidito".
* In the Portuguese dub, the name given to Flapjack is "Rebelde", which means "Rebel" or "Rebellious".
* In the French dub, the name given to Flapjack is "Plume Rouge", which means "Red Feather".
* Prior to his name being revealed in the show, many had addressed the palisman by the "Li'l Rascal" nickname Luz had given him.
* Storyboard notes refer to Flapjack as "Cardinal" prior to his name being revealed.
* Dell Clawthorne's palisman is similar in appearance to Flapjack, being a Template:W with a scar on his beak and bushy eyebrows.
* Flapjack is the second character in the series to die permanently onscreen, the first being Adegast, the third being the Titan, and the fourth being Belos.
	+ As Adegast was a villain, Flapjack is the first heroic character to die onscreen,
	+ As Luz was later revived, this makes Flapjack and the Titan the only heroic characters to die on-screen.
