Loial

Loial is an Ogier, a scholar and a stranger to the human world he finds himself thrown into, more at ease among trees and books than swords. Enormous, gentle, and endlessly curious, he attaches himself to the group of travelers less out of destiny than genuine fondness, eager to see everything and write it all down.

Animashaun plays size as warmth rather than menace, which flips every expectation about a towering figure with tufted ears. Loial's bookish enthusiasm and unhurried kindness give the show a gentle counterweight to its dread, and his friendships feel unforced, earned through patience and plain decency rather than plot convenience.
