Timcanpy

Character Outline
Timcanpy is a golem who is currently owned by Allen Walker. He has had at least two other masters, those two being Nea Walker and Cross Marian.

Appearance
Timcanpy is a small, golden ball-like creature with four, stubby legs, the front two of which he can form little "fingers" with, a long tail that ends in a thick swirl, and two feathered wings. A cross fleury adorns his "face", and above it are two small horns. Unlike most other golems, which are mechanical, Timcanpy seems to be a biological being, though what his body is made up of is unclear as he has been seen being reduced to frangments with no discernable organs. He does, though, have a mouth, teeth and tongue, and he has recently learned to eat.

Timcanpy's size is subject to change; he started off being about the size of a ping pong ball, but gradually grew bigger as time passed. At the North American Branch, his size ballooned dramatically, making him easily larger than a person, though Allen later found out that Timcanpy, when asked, could shrink back down to a managable size at will.



Timcanpy has the ability to produce holographic projections from his mouth, and he uses this to display the musical "Score" that powers Noah's Ark.



Once, Timcanpy grew hair, though it was only thanks to one of the many unusual tonics produced by the European Branch Science Division.

Personality


Typically, Timcanpy is a very simple, almost childish creature. His curiosity frequently gets him into troublesome situations (or leads to him learning new things, such as how to eat and smoke), he is empathic enough to be able to tell when those around him are upset and often tries to comfort them, and, as it is shown through his ongoing rivalry with Yu Kanda's golem (who Timcanpy once ate ), Timcanpy can become angry.

Most commonly, though, Timcanpy displays a steadfast loyalty to Allen and Cross, once almost refusing to leave Allen's side in order to avoid leaving Allen alone with the dangerous Tyki Mikk, and, on another occasion, returning to the room Cross was killed in several times to cuddle with the bloodstains that were left behind.

History
Timcanpy's history is a bit ambiguous. Nea Walker has referred to him as "my Timcanpy", hinting that he was the original creator of Timcanpy, and Timcanpy contains Nea's musical Score for controlling Noah's Ark, which would make Timcanpy at least thirty-five years old, but Allen insists that Timcanpy belongs to Cross Marian, and Timcanpy is known to have been observing Mana on Cross' orders when Allen met Mana. It has been strongly implied, though, that Cross and Nea knew one another personally, Cross having promised Nea that he would watch over Mana, so Nea likely turned Timcanpy over to Cross when he died.

From Allen's view, Timcanpy has been with Cross since Allen and Cross met, and when Cross abandoned Allen in India three to four monts before Allen became an official Exorcist, leaving him with orders to go join the Black Order, Cross left Timcanpy with him to act as a guide. After Cross left to head to Central after the attack on the old European Branch Headquarters, he left Timcanpy behind again, claiming that the golem didn't want to go with him, and not long after Cross was reported to have died, Allen found a message within Timcanpy from Cross that officially turned ownership of Timcanpy over to him (Allen).

Plot
Originally created by The 14th, Timcanpy was at some point given to Cross Marian. He 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 Cross Marian no matter where he is in the world. As a golem, Timcanpy is quick and tireless, able to evade many Level 2 Akumas as he fled from Allen's presumed corpse with an Innocence fragment after Tyki Mikk's original attack in China.

It was hinted that Timcanpy had some connection to The 14th, when the 14th called it "My Timcanpy" on the Ark, and said that together, the golem and Allen have the power of the Musician (It is eventually revealed that he originally belonged to the 14th). Within Timcanpy was a musical score that the 14th claims belonged to Allen. Timcanpy had once again grown larger at this point. The mysterious set of music scores that Timcanpy projected, is created by Mana and himself years ago, which disturbs Allen 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.

Timcampy is later seen after he grew to an enormous size and transforming into a monster form saving Allen from Tewaku before she killed him.

During Allen's containment in the Black Order, Timcanpy is seen restrained by chains and seals in Allen's cell.
