Trivia

• He and Marshal were inspired by the children’s book characters, Frog and Toad.
• He was originally conceptualized as a fisherman designed with fish-like aspects, but because Willy takes on a fishing role in chapter 4, this trait was redundant.
  • Moreover, he and Marshal might have been cut from the story entirely despite their presence in more chapters early in development. Percy was retained partly for his interaction with Abigail.
• He is a first cousin once removed of Adrian Bagley, and both belong to a family who have long resided in Chamberfield.
