Little McTavish

Name: Jimmy McTavish, called "Little McTavish" by his coworkers

Creature Type: Fetch

Description: By most normal standards, Jimmy looks like a big guy - over six feet tall, muscular and tattoo'd. It's only when you put him next to his behemoth of a namesake that the nickname begins to make sense.

Jimmy is easygoing and mellow, devoting most of his energy to his job, his wife, and his daughter. He doesn't have a squeaky-clean past - he did time for a couple of years after a bar fight that turned more vicious than he expected it to - but if you ask him about it, he'll give you a shy, crooked smile and explain that that's all behind him now.

When Big McTavish showed up for his first day of work on Jimmy's construction crew, Jimmy quite honestly thought the Ogre was there to kill him, and reacted accordingly. No one else quite knew what was going on, but after it was resolved peacefully, Jimmy became the butt of good-natured jokes for a couple of weeks for his "overreaction" to the big guy. The novelty of two dudes with the same name also invited comment, and when someone remarked that if James shaved off his beard and cut his hair, he'd look like Jimmy's big brother, it was decided - as far as the crew was concerned, they were "brothers." Jimmy is ok with that. It's close enough to the truth, and he and Big honestly do get along really well - they try to get together at least a couple times a month to have dinner and watch football. About three years back, Big called in some favors to smooth over the paperwork for James and his wife Rachel to foster and later adopt little Sunny, then four years old - something Jimmy is eternally grateful for.

To Changeling eyes, Jimmy is constructed of twining mangrove roots draped with Spanish moss, slightly damp with brackish water. He has a pet rat named Cheerio who goes everywhere with him except the construction site.
