Timothy Hearst

Timothy is a fictional character from the series D.Gray-man.

Appearance
Timothy is a young child. He is the average weight and height for his age. Originally he wears a large striped bandanna on his forehead to hide his innocence, which appears as a jewel on his forehead. He has a similar hair style to Allen, excluding the bangs, but a darker color. Also, his hair has two long tendrils flying from the back. His clothing is ordinary, excluding his pointy slippers. He has an oriental feel in his clothing and eyes, yet he lives in France. According to one chapter cover, his hair is blue, and his eyes are brown.

Personality
Timothy is very much a brat in all ways. He is immature and childish, but with a perverted air as well, as shown when he gropes Emilia. Originally he is arrogant and greedy, but it is later revealed that he was only trying to help the orphanage, in which case he shows his true caring nature. He fights to protect the ones he love, but is still young and inexperienced. When he joins the Black Order, he makes Komui Lee pay for everything he stole and more, showing that Timothy still retains his greedy air.

Thief G Arc
Thief G first appears in chapter 172, leaping from a window and immediately being captured, but claiming that he will never be caught. It is discovered that Thief G has been using innocent people in some way to commit his crimes, including finders from the Black Order. Thief G's first manga crime takes place at the Louvre in Paris, wear he intends to steal an expensive crown. The exorcists lay in wait for him, and Kanda Yu immediately defeats him. The crown is handed to a police officer, who is then controlled by the phantom and turns into Thief G. When Allen and Link ambush the new Thief, he throws the crown, and possesses Link. The thief is able to use all of Link's abilities and weapons, and has excellent control over them. The thief laughs at the officer who was reprimanded as G, and Allen calls him the worse type of person. G is angered and fights back, but is again easily defeated. He is pierced by Allen's sword and throughs a tantrum, sobbing uncontrollably. He leaves Link's body, and is tracked down to the orphanage by Noise Marie, who hears his cries.

Timothy at the Orphanage
In chapter 175, Timothy is shown for the second time (the first time being his perverted attack on Emilia) at the orphanage. Emilia tries to make him study, and he retaliates by running, then grabbing her chest. She kicks him through the door into Allen Walker, whom he possesses. His ruse is up, and he is captured.

Timothy's past is revealed, showing that his father was a thief who stole a jewel and made Timothy eat it. The jewel was actually innocence, and bonded with Timothy, planting itself in his forehead. The exorcists state their intentions to make Timothy join the order, but a barrier is set up around the orphanage, and the second akuma level 4 appears.

Fighting the Akuma
While Allen, Kanda, and Marie fight the akuma level 4, Timothy and Link meet two akuma level 2, and one akuma level 3, who have been turning the humans to dolls and hunting down the innocence. Mother Superior is turned into a doll by the level 2, and Emilia is shot by one of the nuns who work at the orphanage, but secretly helps the Earl. The broker is turned into a doll, and the level 2 captures Timothy. Link tries to seal the level 2, but is ambushed by more akuma, and is turned into a doll as well.

When Emilia tries to free Timothy and the akuma approach her, Timothy takes control of the akuma level 2 that has turned humans into doll, releasing and activating "Divine Possession" for the first time. His innocence takes a human form, and helps teach Timothy how to fight, and he defeats the other akuma level 2. When he attempts to fight the level 3, he fails, so he attempts to possess the level 3 instead. Again, he fails, since his innocence isn't developed to that level yet. When he goes back to possess the level 2, he finds that it has been purified and disappeared. He flees back to his body, and is saved by Link, is was able to move after Timothy purified the akuma level 2. Link's body starts to crack, but his innocence tells Timothy that he can't help Link by possessing him. The level 3 goes to defeat Link, but a member of crow comes in and absorbs the akuma.

The akuma level 4 is defeated by Allen and Kanda, and Timothy is rescued. He shares a few touching scenes with Mother Superior, then joins the Dark Order as an exorcist with Emilia who pledges to help in any way she can.

Ability
Timothy's innocence is the jewel in his forehead that allows him to take control over other people. When he uses it on akuma, it is finally released and activated as "Divine Possession", or Tsukikami. The monster form eats an akuma, and becomes more human, calling itself Divine Possession's "Second". This guide teaches Timothy about his innocence, and it's form is based on Timothy's view of himself.

Timothy's possession over akuma means that he can fight normally, along with using all of the abilities the original akuma held. He is currently only able to control up to akuma level 2, and can't even fight akuma of higher levels. Tsukikami grows the more often Timothy uses it, meaning he will eventually be able to control level 3s.

The akuma he possesses transform into childish-looking creatures, made purely of innocence.

Once he leaves the akuma he possesses, the akuma is purified completely, and turns to dust. When this happens, the affects left behind by the akuma are repealed.

Extra

 * Timothy is currently the youngest and most recent exorcist in the Black Order.
 * Timothy does not appear in the anime
 * Timothy is the first manga character shown to originally use innocence for their own personal gain completely ignorant of the akuma's existence. (Allen cheats in card games, and needs his arm for that, but he still helps defeat Akuma before officially joining the order)
 * The chapter cover for chapter 174 shows Allen wearing the Thief G attire, though he is never controlled by Timothy.
 * When Timothy leaves the orphanage, the child all have fevers. Though this is supposedly just a side effect of the dark matter, it could hold worse for them in the future. Most likely, this is just a hunch, and nothing more.
