Big McTavish

Name: James McTavish (called either "McTavish" or "Big McTavish", depending on whether there's a need to distinguish him from Little McTavish!  Sometimes just "Big", to his co-workers.)

Creature Type: Changeling

Seeming/Kith: Ogre Gargantuan

Court: Spring (former King)

Description: The first thing you notice about McTavish is that he's big. Really, really big. In his Mask, he's nearly 7 feet tall and built like a freight train; in his Mien, he's over 8 feet and, if possible, even broader.

The second thing you notice is his huge friendly smile. McTavish is, quite simply, one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet in the world. He's something of a one-man welcoming committee for new Changelings, taking it upon himself to make sure all recent escapees find a place to stay, get a job or some other way to support themselves, and meet all the right people so they can find their place in the world. He likes to sing, and has a surprisingly good voice; he can be heard singing all manner of cheerful songs at pretty much any hour of the day. (His favorite is the folksong "McTavish Is Dead," which he appears to find hilarious.)  He's just an all-around cheerful, happy guy, who likes just about everyone he meets. And if you threaten his friends, his family, his Fetch, his rat, or him, he will cheerfully, happily stomp your face until you learn the error of your ways.

McTavish is unabashedly blue-collar; he works for JC's Construction Company, along with his Fetch (known to their mutual friends as Little McTavish.)  Of all Changelings, McTavish seems to have an unusually friendly relationship with his Fetch, to the point where they consider themselves family. He is the unofficial leader and spokesman of the pro-Fetch faction in DeLand.

McTavish has a pet rat named Little Buddy, who travels everywhere except the construction site with him. Rumors that Little Buddy (who, like his owner, is remarkably large) is a Hedgebeast are entirely unfounded.
