Barry the Quokka

Barry is a crimson-furred, anthropomorphic quokka with green eyes and tan skin. They have large dark crimson ears, a black nose, and a dark crimson patch between their eyes. They also have two small strips of hair on their head and a short pointy tail that is barely visible. For attire, they wear a dark green coat with three gold buttons and a yellow nametag stuck to it by tape over a white shirt with a red bow tie. They also wear white gloves, and black shoes with yellow cuffs. Barry is very anxious, as it is their first day on the job. They are noted to not be used to getting complimented and are hinted to have self-esteem issues of some kind. Other characters mention them sweating a lot, pretty much every time a situation is stressful, and Blaze describes them as a "very... animated person." They enjoy playing endless runner games on their phone, and when faced with a problem they must solve or a question they must answer, they mentally visualize their thought process as one starring Sonic, having been prompted to try and think of how the hedgehog would handle the situation, implying that they idolize him. Despite their anxiety, Barry has a bit of a mischievous side, willing to lie to get snacks from the Mirage Express, tease Espio by falsely claiming he failed their quiz, or even jump-scare Tails after opening a wardrobe. They have a strong belief that there is always something hidden in the trash bin, which by their own admission is an extension of their belief in the importance of dedication and persistence, a tenet they have inherited from their father. While this seems to largely be a positive trait, it also leads to them having a tendency to get tunnel vision, often fixating on a task or habit even when it seems illogical to pursue, such as playing a slot machine. They have also shown to have a strong interest in caves and a talent for beatboxing.
