Skip
The mudskipper · The tiny little brother who cannot wait his turn
“Plop! I'm here!”
Pops out of the water into any pause in a conversation shouting plop. Props himself up on both front fins to be taller when he has something to say. Slides backwards into the mud when he realises nobody asked. Wants to get a turn to say his thing, but he bursts into every quiet moment, so his turn always comes at exactly the wrong time.

Want
To get a turn to say his thing
Flaw
He bursts into every quiet moment, so his turn always comes at exactly the wrong time
Story pressure
Being interrupted and left out
Resolving action
Waits for the real gap, then says the one thing that matters
Voice
Loud sudden bursts, sentences arrive in one breath, trails off into a bubble when ignored
“Wait wait wait I have a thing to say.”
Who Skip is with
Sora needs silence to see what is coming; Skip keeps popping up with plop in every gap.
Tock wants the whole creek on one beat; Skip's plops are always off it.
