🐾 Pebble — “The Royal Stonehound of Gardenview”; ✨ Appearance
Pebble is a small, round, stone-bodied dog, carved from smooth river rock.
His surface is warm and polished, with cracks glowing faintly like soft blue runes.
He has:
A sturdy little stone snout
Cute carved eyebrows that shift with his mood
Four chunky stone paws that make soft thunk sounds when he trots
A tail shaped like a curled pebble, wagging like a hypnotic pendulum
Around his neck he wears:
A golden royal collar gifted by Dandy himself
A small hanging charm shaped like a shield — marking his status
He is adorable…
…and incredibly heavy. 💛 Personality
Pebble is the most loyal creature in the entire keep.
He is:
Brave to the point of foolishness
Gentle with small Toons
Protective of everyone
Always alert
Against violence… except when something threatens his family
Nonverbal, but extremely expressive (hops, snorts, ear-wiggles, head tilts, ect)
He understands more than people think.
He just chooses not to speak.
Pebble is considered Gardenview’s “emotional support rock.”; 🏰 Role in Gardenview
“The Royal Stonehound & Captain of the Guard”
Pebble serves as:
Dandy’s personal dog
Gardenview’s chief defender
The first line of alarm when danger approaches
When Pebble senses trouble, the entire castle listens.
His bark echoes like breaking stone, rattling windows and alerting every Toon within the walls.
Despite not speaking, Pebble communicates through:
Paw taps
Ear flicks
Body blocking
Low growls
Running in circles (the universal Toon panic signal)
Very aggressive tail-wagging when greeting friends
Gardenview relies heavily on Pebble’s instincts — and he has never been wrong. ⚔️ Abilities
