Wybie Lovat

Wyborn Lovat, otherwise known as Wybie, is the geeky and anxious eleven year old grandson of the owner of Pink Palace. He is only in the film adaptation, with the reason being that the viewer "wouldn't have a girl walking around, occasionally talking to herself."

Appearance
Wybie may be of black/mixed ethnicity, which is evident from his hair, facial features, and tanned complexion, as well as because Mrs. Lovat is African-American.

Wybie has coarse, curly, dark brown hair. He also has hazel eyes and a tanned complexion as mentioned before. His posture is horrid; he has a noticeable slouch that causes it to seem as though he is always looking upward. For the entirety of his appearance in the movie, he wears a black coat with silver trimming, light jeans, and skeleton-looking gloves.

Personality
Wybie is constantly nervous, (evident in the way he is always playing with his hand) however, he is an adventurer somewhat like, but not identical to Coraline. He has a strange liking toward odd things, shown when the cat brings him "little dead things" and when he makes fun of a slug whilst taking a picture of it. He is rather impulsive in terms of speech, as he only reacts to what he says after he says them. This is shown when he ridicules Coraline's name and later regrets it. From his actions towards the cat, he is rather compassionate, presumably only to animals or to those he finds a liking to.

He is also sometimes seen wearing two modified welder's masks. One for his bike riding, which is fitted with three magnifying scopes, that he hand cranks to better zoom in on the objects of his focus. While the other is fitted with a periscope, which he uses to find banana slugs.
