Week 43! (Patreon)

And this is the compliment to Neal, Kale's other bodyguard, a dragon named Willis. Willis's nickname as coined by Neal, apparently, was "Willy", so when you combined the two, they became "Willy Nilly". Ha ha. 

Willis was meant to be a typical sort of foil and opposite to Neal. Neal would've been extroverted and talkative and friendly-in-your-face-ish, while Willis would've been quiet, attentive, intimidating, and focused on the job. The two would've had that sort of typical dynamic you see in a lot of material, although I feel like I was gonna have at least a little fun doing it regardless.

Willis is also the only mythical creature to have appeared in Furthia High (besides myself and one single appearance of a rainbow-colored alicorn in a flashback). This was something that I had early on where, since the whole process of being transformed from human to anthro-animal wasn't really as thought out or relevant, I figured that you could be changed into literally anything, which included things like mythical creatures like gryphons, dragons, and unicorns. They would've been rare, but Willis would've been the sort of representative of the demographic, so to speak. Mythical creatures don't exist in the New Canon (in-universe, so excepting the QuetzaDrake entity), so if I ever did bring back Neal and Willis, I would have to make Willis into a lizard or alligator or something instead of a dragon.
