Lovelace

Lovelace is the tritagonist in Happy Feet and a major character in Happy Feet Two He is a Rockhopper Penguin who has a high social status due to the amount of lovestones. He is Mumble's best friend.

He was voiced by the late Robin Williams, who also voiced Ramón in the same franchise.

Personality
Lovelace is believed to be a wise and all-knowing penguin to others, given clairvoyance from his "sacred talisman" (six-pack plastic ring wrapped around his neck). He is very dramatic and can also be obnoxious at times.

Lovelace thinks of himself as a guru. Many penguins come to him with questions, giving Lovestones for an answer. Many of them do not doubt what he says because of his close to believable answers and the 'Sacred Talisman' he says was "...bestowed on him. By the Mystic Beings." - Lombardo & Raul. The 'Sacred Talisman' in actuality, is a plastic six-pack ring that was caught around his neck while he was swimming. He is somewhat obnoxious, and gets overly defensive if someone doesn't believe his answers.

When he is interacting with others, Lovelace sees himself as superior, so he is not popular with Mumble untill he gets to know him later in Happy Feet. He is not well regarded by newcomers upon first meeting them. He is good friends with Sven because he believes Sven saved him from an oil spill.

Appearence
Lovelace is an overweight Rockhopper penguin. He is most distinguished from the itgers by his red break and his bright yellow crests, and as he lives with the Adélie penguins in Adélie-Land, he stands out in his large next pile. Upon his first visual appearence, Lovelace has a plastic six-Pack ring caught around his neck when he was swimming. However, during the orca attack at the Forbiden Shore, the talisman was removed later in the film. Without his talisman, he looks like a normal rockhopper penguin with a fat body at the end of the first film and has a yellow and Black "crown" unique to rockhoppers.

In the sequel, the first (and only) thing you might notice different about Lovelace with his new rainbow sweater that the humans gave to him. He has also moved on to a larger audience and is speaking off of a green patch of grass instead of his previous Lovestone pile in the new Adélie-Land. During the song "Under Pressure", Lovelace slides down and land on a hill only to have his sweater ripped apart. At the end of the movie, he has a rainbow hat/wig on when he leaves Emperor-Land. If there is going to be some ''Happy Feet Three", he will possible still have is wig.
