User blog:WalrusGuy/PG Proposal: Pleakley

For my next proposal I decided to propose Pleakley, a character from Lilo and Stitch.

He's the reason why the Grand Councilwoman decides not to destroy Earth. Why? Because he has an extreme regard for life.

He reluctantly accompanies Jumba to capture Stitch...but unfortunately, they aren't able to pull it off...until near the end of the movie after Gantu has already been sent to do the job that they were seemingly incapable of doing.

But anyways...

Admirable Standard
It's an interesting case. A lot of Lilo and Stitch characters have complex personalities. For example, Jumba is a mad scientist but he agrees to capture Stitch. Captain Gantu of the Galactic Alliance turns out not to be so heroic which leads to his forced retirement...but he's legitimately a good guy by the end of Leroy and Stitch. Stitch was created to be evil but he eventually becomes good. Reuben...was also created to be evil, but unlike Stitch, he chooses not to cause property destruction and is actually a nice guy, which leads to him joining Lilo's side. (Gantu joins Lilo's side incidentally, so Reuben agrees to assist him with being captain once again.)

With Pleakley though, he doesn't have any real corrupting qualities to speak of. He did lie to his parents in the TV series about being married, but he didn't do so for personal gain.

Final Thoughts
Probably the most heroic character in the whole series. Although strangely enough his voice actor also voices Almighty Purple whose anything but incorruptible.
