Teddy Sparkles

To those who knew no better, Teddy Sparkles was seemingly a magical, wish-granting, stuffed bear. His extraordinary powers (the ability to focus his will upon the multiverse and alter timelines) was due to his role as a Reality Engineer on his home planet, Ursino Six. He was kidnapped by Missy in a plot to take over the Earth. (PROSE: Teddy Sparkles Must Die!)

Biography
Teddy Sparkles originated from Ursino Six, where he was a Reality Engineer. Missy, fed up with her numerous futile attempts to take over Earth, kidnapped Teddy Sparkles and brought him to London, 1925, where she posed as the governess of three young children, Esme, Jack, and Peter. The children suspected something queer of their new governess, who had arrived almost immediately after their previous governess had disappeared mysteriously. Whilst investigating Missy's room, they came across Teddy Sparkles, who, over the course of the next week, took them on adventures to the Centre of the Earth, Mars, and to the Moon, with Missy reluctantly saving them each time from the imminent perils. Missu then began the next step in her plan, where she manipulated the children and Teddy Sparkles to indignantly grant three "wishes", where they would eventually come into positions of great power.

Missy left, and over the course of the next thirty years, this new timeline came to fruition, and the children had families, though they all hated their jobs. Unfortunately, they forgot about Teddy, only misremembering him as a character in a game that they played in their youths. Being trapped in the attic, Teddy Sparkles began to resent the children, and his powers slowly but surely waned.

On Christmas Eve, 1962, the siblings and their families reunited at their chilhood home, and Missy returned. She attempting to get the siblings to give her the resources to take over the world in their debt, but Teddy, fed up with Missy, undid the changes to time, with the siblings de-aging and their families being removed from existence. Now back in 1925, Teddy Sparkles accidentally created a new timeline filled with whimsy and fantastical creatures. Missy decided, that in order for this new, hazardous timeline to be undone, Teddy Sparkles must die. Teddy knew that he could do it with the final remnants of his powers, but it would mean that he would be erased in the process. With no other option, he did just that, but not before doing two things: first, he made Missy a beloved character in a children's series of books, meaning that she would be recognized as a loving figure wherever she went, and finally, he returned to Esme and her granddaughter Jane, fully restored, one Christmas, many years later.

Personality
Teddy Sparkles loved taking the three children on adventures, despite having Missy rescue them. He was proud, but also indignant. After being left in the attic for over thirty years, he decided not to warn the siblings of Missy out of spite, though he later became his kind old self again and chose to do what he perceived was the right options, even if others disagreed.

Appearance
Teddy Sparkles was a stuffed bear, with topaz eyes, and golden, glittery, fur, a result of his "magical energy" that was always present before he altered reality. He had a sonorous, booming voice, which came across as jovial. (PROSE: Teddy Sparkles Must Die!)

Behind the scenes
Paul Magrs (author of Teddy Sparkles Must Die!) often produced art of Teddy Sparkles on his social media accounts, with other characters such as Panda and Bernard Socks appearing alongside. Perhaps the earliest, Magrs shared a painting of Teddy Sparkles captioned "Teddy Sparkles Must Dance!".
