Wolfgang Vandertuig

Wolfgang Andreas Vandertuig (who usually goes by "Wolfie", his nickname) is one of two main characters in the webcomic "George & Wolfie".

History
Wolfgang, who is often called by his nickname Wolfie, was born on November 3rd, 2142 to Kristian Philipp Vandertuig and Irene Susanne Vandertuig (nee Malliet) in Methuen, Massachusetts. Kristian and Irene are both Great-horned Owl Anthropolitans (bubo virginianus-sapiens). He is the second-eldest of seven children, with older sister Lena, younger brother triplets George, Walter and Siegfried, younger sister Marie and youngest brother Markus. He is mostly of German and Dutch ancestry, with some French and English influences. Shortly after Markus’ birth, Kristian left the family without much warning and has since lived with an ‘adoptive’ father, Eric Joseph Baddewatter. Even though largely debated, Eric and Irene are not married since divorce papers were never filed. The entirety of the status of this relationship remains up in the air since it is never brought up around any of the children.

Appearance
Wolfie stands at about 5-foot-5, has light-brown and dark-brown down feathers interspersed with white (specifically around the beak) and sometimes verging on black. His large golden yellow eyes are characteristic of the Great-horned species. When compared to his family, his greatest distinguished characteristic is his very thick eyebrows, which are inherited from his father’s side. In most cases he is seen wearing a royal blue vest with white sleeves and blue pinstripes on the sleeves and collar, with a white undershirt and khaki cargo shorts. Owls have tail feathers, in which his are stuffed between his shirts and shorts and stretch out to about the length of his shorts. The color of the down follows the white-brown-black palette. (In earlier sketches he was depicted without any tail feathers). ==Personality ==

Growing up, Wolfie’s largest issue was dealing with being a role model for his younger siblings, and finding friends who can cope with his eccentric behavior. He was never involved with much conflict through his school years, but knows how to win arguments with his hands tied behind his back.
