Cael, No Swiping!

Um... I don't think this is how it's supposed to work.

I've created a villain.

Cael's favorite television show is about a little girl and her best friend (a monkey). They travel around on adventures together, doing good, sharing, counting, speaking Spanish, and solving all the world's ills one hug at a time. This usually involves bringing or returning something to someone.

Occasionally, they are robbed of their precious items (a gift for a sick grandmother, a friendship bracelet, a lost toy) by Swiper the fox. Swiper, in his bad-guy mask and gloves, sneaks up behind poor, not-a-negative-bone-in-her-body Dora, takes whatever she was holding and tosses it away. He doesn't even take stuff because he likes it. He takes it because he likes to rip it from her little hands and make her go find it. When he chucks the prize into the volcano (or the nearest tree, or the raging river) he says (in his most evil fox voice), "Heh, heh, heh. You'll never get your precious teddy bear now!" and then slinks away with a satisfied grin.

Not only does Cael come up to Finn, yank whatever is in his chubby baby hands away, and discard it somewhere out of reach (never to look back), but now he's taken to taunting, "Heh, heh, heh. You'll never get your precious penguin now, Finn!"

Why doesn't he want to be Boots the monkey?
