Personal Info

 * Interest: Pretending to eat food, smoking.
 * Likes: Cross, Allen, Lenalee, and her protecting him.
 * Dislikes: Stray Cats, Yu Kanda's golem.

Background
Tim first appears as Allen's golem given to him by his master. He is a energetic golem, that some say looks like a golden snitch from the Harry Potter series. Name can be spelt Timcampi, Tincampy, Tincampi or Timcampy. He's most commonly called Tim by Allen and Cross, formerly.

Appearance
Tim appears to be like a small golden ball with wings and a tail. Even though he is a golem, we haven't seen him communicating with the headquarters. Though you can't see it, he also has a giant mouth that can practically eat anything. During the Europe Branch's Headquarter move, Tim was affected by the Hair Tonic and grew two ponytails, but the effect of the tonic was removed after the move. Timcanpy gradually grows during the story.



Personality
Timcanpy is severely attached to both General Cross and Allen, mainly because Allen is Cross's disciple, even going as far as "crying" when reunited with Allen in the ark. After Cross's disappearance, Tim often visits his room to cuddle against the place he was last. Allen has to retrieve him on many occasions.

Tim has a 'rivalry' with Yu Kanda's golem. As it is seen when Allen and Kanda argue, the two golems glare at each other and even once Tim is seen eating Kanda's golem.

Tim can also be seen with Lenalee, when Allen not around and sometimes he comforts her when she's upset.

Tim is shown to be aggressive in self defence or to protect his master or his master's apprentice. Even though he is a golem, he can eat food and will "ask" for it from Allen.

Timcanpy also has a tendency to get eaten by stray cats.

In addition, Tim has been seen smoking in the manga, where both he and Bookman have cigars in their mouths. Bookman seems to be impressed.

History
Originally belonging to Cross Marian, at which point Timpcanpy rode on the General's hat and seemed quite larger than his current form, Timcanpy was given to Allen Walker in order to reach the Black Order HQ. Timcanpy has no role in combat, merely removing himself from the line of fire, and plays little to no role in the manga until the Order needed to find General Cross. Timcanpy has the ability to find Marian Cross, no matter where he is in the world since the General created him. As a golem, Timcanpy is quick and tireless, able to evade many Level-2 Akuma's as he fled from Allen's presumed corpse with an Innocence fragment after Tyki Mikk's original attack in Japan. Timcanpy has some connection to The 14th, the 14th called it "My Timcampy" on the Ark, and said that together, the golem and Allen have the power of the Musician. Within Timcanpy was a musical score that the 14th claims belonged to Allen. Timcanpy had once again grown larger at this point. Allen said&nbsp mysterious set of music scores that Timcanpy projected, is created by Mana and himself years ago, which disturbs him greatly. Later on, after the invasion of the Black Order HQ, Timcanpy was present during Allen's and Cross' conversation, and it ate the end of his cigarette.
