Gogoba Chief

"Of course, of course. Why would you wanna stay with us after we made you this incredible meal?"

- Chief, "Guilt Tripping"

The Chief is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. He is an anthropomorphic chinchilla and the chief of the Gogobas, a tribe who uses guilt-tripping to make other obey their whims, from Gogoba Village. He also runs his own cart shop as his source of income.

Appearance
The Chief is an elderly humanoid chinchilla who is about Tails' height. He has grey fur with white fur on his front torso, the innards of his ears and his muzzle, the latter of which is so long that it forms a small beard held together by small bands. He also has a long bushy tail, long and curvy ears with bushes at the points, a small black nose, short buck teeth and golden irises. His attire consists of a crown made of a yellow band with purple spots and long green leaves, white gloves, a small green cape and flat sandals with green bands. He also walks around with a bamboo quad cane.

History
At some point, the Chief participated in the Gogoba edition of the "Pawn Shop Wars" television show. As a part of the episode, the Chief tried guilt tripping a clerk into letting him give him a can of food for $200.

While home in his village, the Chief and his people were plundered by the Weasel Bandits until Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails came to their aid and got rid of them. The Chief and his people saw Sonic and Tails as potential protectors and as such guilt tripped them into staying by giving a royal feast and then remain for the night. Staying watch over the duo, the Chief and his people guilt tripped them to stay and protect their village when they tried to sneak away.

Later on, the Chief and villagers were given a defense system by Sonic and Tails, but let themselves get caught in it to prove it faulty. Soon after though, the Chief met Sonic and Tails who guilt tripped him into letting them leave. Instead though, the chief and his village moved into Sonic's Shack so Sonic could keep protecting them. When Sonic returned though, Dr. Eggman attacked the shack. After the fight, the Chief and his people were guilt tripped by Sonic into coming with Eggman to his lair where they kept bothering the doctor, though the Chief eventually returned to his village.

The Chief later attended the trial between Sonic and Dr. Eggman, where Eggman sued Sonic for injuring him. When Eggman was proven to be fine, the Chief fled when Eggman launched an attack. Some time later, the Chief and his fellow villagers had a game of limbo where Sonic joined them in the festivities. The next day, the Chief met Sonic again when his cart's wheel broke off, and guilt-tripped the hedgehog into fixing it for him.

Personality
At first glance, the Chief is a very nice and incredibly selfless individual, offering the best services and resources he has available and does not wish others to petty themselves with him and his village's troubles despite their own misery, and keeps near constant positive attitude. He is likewise patient and composed, if not passive, as he remains calm and non-confrontational in any situation.

Underneath his friendly exterior, the Chief is lazy and a cunning manipulator who serves only his village's self-interest and makes others obey his requests by preying on their guilt, even if it meant keeping them against their will. That being said, the Chief is not without a good-willed consciousness as he too could be guilt tripped with other people's needs. Also, when outwitted, the Chief would accept defeat, albeit rather dismayed.

Powers and abilities
Like the rest of his village, the Chief is an expert at verbally manipulating others using guilt. When talking with visitors, the chief would seed guilt in their minds by casually noting how their services to them or the visitors' actions have horrid costs the village, causing them to feel downright terrible, thus enabling him to make requests the visitors are unable to say no to.
