Characters / Fur-Piled

Here is a character guide to the characters in Fur-Piled, by Leo Manga. This is a work in progress, so any contributions are appreciated. Beware of spoilers!!

Arthur Husky

A 19-year old gay dog and is mostly the focus of the comic. He and Saetto eventually get together.

First introduced on Intro Pg. 2.

• Affectionate Nickname: Car calls him "Marfy Dog."
• All There in the Manual: His first name being Arthur is only shown in his bio on the Lion Dog Works page, as is his age.
• All Men Are Perverts: Husky has a very dirty mind at times.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: He breaks the fourth wall to give the reader some exposition on his thoughts and life.
• Cannot Spit It Out: Played with. Husky is very obvious with his feeling for Saetto, but he can't actually express them to him.
• Dating Service Disaster: One of Husky's ex's was an online relationship. Neither Ian nor Andy knew about it and it did end in disaster.
• Dark Secret: His relationship with Car. Ian and Andy only knew because they picked him up afterwards, and Rose and Louis knew because he told them while drink. Other than that, not even Saetto knew.
• A Dog Named "Dog": A Husky Named Husky: Well.. he IS a husky.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: No one ever calls Husky by his first name.
• Keet: He's hyperactive and fun. He also suffers from ADD so it's a bit justified.
• The Leader: He's the main focus of the story, and without him, the group falls out of contact for a bit.
• Mistaken for Cheating: Saetto accuses him of cheating and walks out after he sees Husky being kissed by Car.
• Out of Focus: He slides towards a bit as his friends pick up more of the plot.
• Straight Gay: In stark contrast to Andy's Camp Gay, Husky is rather normal and doesn't have any stereotypical gay attitudes.

Saetto

A gay man of an undefined species(though, according to Leo Manga, he is a Familiar), and is Husky's Love Interest and eventual boyfriend.

First introduced on Intro Pg. 3.

• A Day in the Limelight: The chapter "How To Save a Life" focuses exclusively on him after his and Husky's break-up.
• All There in the Manual: His species is never stated in the comic, but the creator stated he is a Familiar in another piece of art of his.
• Aloof Big Brother: The one time he was seen interacting with his brother, he was treating him coldly, granted said brother was being an ass and he just got out of a break-up.
• The Big Guy: He's pretty strong, for the reasons above.
• Beware of the Nice Ones: He can get quite fierce when pressed.
• Dark and Troubled Past: His first gay relationship was not a good one.
• Gay Cowboy: He dressed up as one for a Halloween party.
• Important Haircut: He cut his hair after he and Husky get back together. He looks considerably younger.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He used to be one.

• Nice Guy: Contrary to popular belief, Saetto is a very nice.. unless you piss him off.
• The Twink: He has shades of this.
• Satellite Love Interest: This is what Husky WANTED him to be, but that didn't happen.

• Camp Gay: The personification on this trope.

• Deuteragonist: Shares this role with Ian, fittingly enough.
• Drag Queen: For a Halloween party, Andy dressed slightly in drag. Also, as a child, he used to dress in his mother's clothes.

• Childhood Friend Romance: Her and Louis have known each other since they were young and have since become lovers.
• Closer to Earth: She's a lot more grounded than most of her friends.

• Family of Choice: Rose states that this is how she feels the group is, a family.
• Fiery Redhead
• Hot-Blooded: She gets worked up pretty easily.

A know-it-all lesbian rabbit who is Rose's girlfriend.

• Dumb Blond: Subverted, as she's actually described as a "know-it-all".
• Insufferable Genius: Sometimes she comes off as this.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: If she actually told the gang that Car, Husky's ex, was coming home, then maybe they could've avoided some hurt.

• Pretty in Mink
• Satellite Character / Satellite Love Interest: She is mostly seen with Rose, and rarely interacts with the other characters. Only once, while questioning Husky about his night with Saetto, and again at the end. Which is a tad bit strange, considering she's a member of Husky's friend circle.
• The Smart Guy: She's referred to as a "know-it-all" and is often willing to give advice to Rose and her friends.
