(Just decided to carbon-copy this here from DeviantART for those who only follow me here on FA).

1. Timothy is very, very special to me. I often think of him as the little brother I always wanted (and still do!). Other times I think of him as my little boy, to raise and nurture as my own. It was in 2008 that I first created him (in human form) mirroring a neighbor who I thought of as my little brother. Our friendship went somewhat awry in late-2008 and we stopped talking for a couple of years. I gave Timothy the same orange flame shorts my friend used to have (they looked so cute on him too) and complimented it with a blue t-shirt and white sneaker-style shoes. I had started writing a novel called "The Railway Boys - Timothy's troubles" which still sits dormant on my desktop computer. Here's an illustration I drew of Timothy on his bike from said novel: http://fav.me/d4mz9ys


2. In 2011 after making several mistakes as a new novel writer I had little choice but to keep the novel to myself, continuing to work on it in spurts until I decided it wasn't that good anyway. Really it was just my own fantasy graphed onto reality - which doesn't usually make a good story. I met several new artists between 2010-2011 on DeviantART and joined FurAffinity as well. I met  pacopanda and we roleplayed a story with our characters. Timothy became a raccoon, still wearing the same outfit. I had some artwork commissioned by Paco, with his two characters Art the raccoon and Biro the fox with Timothy. (Who previously had no character design, so kudos to Paco for giving him such a cute look!). http://www.furaffinity.net/full/6914783/


3. Timothy wets in his sleep, almost every night. Because of this he has no choice but to wear pull-up style diapers before he goes to bed. Up to the age of six he still wears his diapers during the day and especially on long road trips - just in case of any accidents. In my most recent commission of Timothy he has his shorts pulled down by Jake - a new friend who can often be a little mischievous - revealing his red pull-up diaper as the three are having their picture taken by Jake's mom. Poor Timothy doesn't realize this until after the photo has already been taken and Jake's mom decides to keep it. At the age of seven his red pull-ups are getting too small for him and he moves on to a different blue or white design of diapers, which are bigger.

4. Timothy loves riding his bike, it's his favourite thing to do with his friends. So far as I've written and commissioned art of him, he needs training wheels (stabilisers) on his bike to keep him balanced. Occasionally this leads to other kids laughing at him for not being able to ride without them, but his friends (Jake and Friendly) stand up for him and welcome his company on their own bike rides. Another problem with training wheels is their tendency to make his bike stall in uneven ground, such as potholes or mud, or even grass. Timothy tries to keep riding but the back wheel of his bike just spins uselessly, requiring a push from his friends to get him moving again.
I have plans to write a story where Timothy learns how to ride his bike without his training wheels, when he is nine years old. This is somepoint in the future though, as I really have become quite attached to my chubby little raccoon riding his bike propped up on three back wheels.


5. Timothy has also recently taken on another form. Through roleplay with several others and discovering a small fandom of 'Pixar Cars' fans and artists, I was able to bring Timothy into this certain reality. Like my human and raccoon sonas of Timothy, his carsona has a primarily orange outfit with blue flames paintwork. His wheels also say "Training Wheels" on them in reference to my raccoon and human versions of Timothy with his bike. Carsona Timothy likes to play in the mud, but his small wheels (and Training Wheels tires) mean he gets stuck in the mud a lot. He hates getting stuck but feels better when friends rescue him so he can keep playing with them. I have some more art of this nature coming soon, stay tuned!

6. Like his friend 'Friendly' - Timothy loves trains and other modes of transport. I haven't yet been able to commission much art of this, but in this giftart scene Timothy is excitedly pointing at an approaching train as he sits next to Biro, who belongs to  pacopanda

7. Another of Timothy's inabilities, is swimming. He can't swim at all, and this means whenever he does go to the pool or any other body of water with his friends he wears yellow double-chambered floaties. Despite this he isn't frightened of water - so long as his friends are nearby to keep an eye on him and help him that is. In another scene by my good friend Paco we see Timothy in a cenote, with really deep water. Friendly is underneath him, keeping an eye on his little raccoon friend.

8. I'm not sure what else there is to say about Timothy really, except that my heart deeply and desperately desires his company every single day. He's a sweet little character and I love writing stories with him in them.
