Ted

"Kill yourselves"

- ~ Ted’s iconic catchphrase''

Theodore Rose Lalonde is the official mascot and one of the sixteen major characters staying at the Your Time to Shine hotel. He is an anthropomorphic cat creature and the creator of the YTTS game.

Appearance
Ted is a creature that resembles a Bicolor, or Tuxedo breed of cat. He has a short stature and a large spherical oval head. He has black fur with spots of white fur on the tip of his tail, the bottom half of his head, and the end of his paws. He wears a mask on the top half of his head, a yellow scarf around his neck, and a utility belt on his waist with two gold buttons and two bags on each side.

Personality
Ted’s confident attitude compliments his mentor-like role in Your Time to Shine. He is often quick to take charge and is overall friendly to those who he considers kind. Despite not sharing the same human-like qualities as the rest of the cast, Ted shares the same traits as others such as morality and empathy, and even demonstrates a certain level of intelligence and wit among the group. Ted can sometimes lose his dignity and become incomprehensible in very certain situations, but this composure is quickly regained as to not show any sign of weakness to his peers.

Thea
Through sheer negative emotions, Ted’s “unnecessary” feelings have manifested into its own being, that being Thea. Despite them technically being one and the same, Ted and Thea share the same bitterness for each other due to their views and ideas being wildly different, Ted having a more rational mindset and Thea following her heart. They still, however, consider themselves siblings and occasionally joke about their relationship.

Zom
While Zom tends to take a liking to Thea, Ted is sometimes mistreated by Zom. Even after getting launched or strangled in a cartoony fashion, this is often shown to just be for the gag and they both still take their friendship mutually.

Mega
In the early days, Ted and Thomas shared a strong rivalry and sense of resentment towards each other. Both considered each other their “Nemesis” and were highly competitive. Around the Thea arc however, signs of hatred from both parties began to subside and they now share their compassion, agreeing to leave the past behind them.

Drem
Ted is shown to be Drem’s adopted pet, and they both share signs of closeness and affection. Despite technically being her pet, Ted is occasionally shown to take on a role of guidance, showing a sense of care for her and often assisting her throughout the game.

Trivia

 * Ted is the shortest character of the main cast, so much so that he requires a chair to get up to textbox height.
 * Ted’s character takes extremely heavy inspiration from Morgana from Persona 5, down to the exact design.
 * This is due to the real world Ted using Morgana as his main icon both on YouTube and Discord.
 * Ted’s name was chosen from a text edit made by the real world Drem where the phrase “Fuck I got roasted” was edited to say “Fuck I got    ted”.
 * Aside from Neb, Ted is the only non-human character in the main cast.
 * His grandfather clock which he considers his “iconic clock” is a very important symbol to him, and it is hard to find one without the other.
 * The clock originated from a joke in a voice chat playthrough of Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion, when Drem encountered The Cat next to a dollhouse clock.
 * Ted’s Ex-Girlfriend is Cirno, an ice fairy from the Touhou series.
 * Wears a shirt saying "I'm a Mom against Catboys"
