Fastidious Beaver

"My greatest weakness? Actually, it is my incredible cowardice."

- Fastidious Beaver, "The Sidekick"

Fastidious Beaver is a character that appears the Sonic Boom series. He is an anthropomorphic beaver with a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
Despite Mayor Fink running unopposed, Fastidious tried to get elected for mayor of the village on Bygone Island. Reasoning that since people loved races, Fastidious opened the Great Mystery Race (though no one explained to him why it had that name) to make the voters happy and thereby earn their favor. He even took the course himself within a certain time. However, he was not all that excited about the plan, but since nobody was pushing him towards something better, he remained there.

Eventually, Fastidious found Team Sonic arriving and he tried convincing them to try the race. However, when Team Sonic did not think it was a good idea and wondered what they got out of it, Fastidious made a deal: if they beat his time in the race, they would receive a Power Glyph as a reward. After the team won, Fastidious handed over the glyph as promised while encouraging them to vote for him.

TV Series
When Sonic held try-outs for a new sidekick, Fastidious applied for the job, but Sonic dismissed him. However, when Fastidious returned to have his parking ticket validated, Sonic chose him as his third candidate, along with Tails and Dr. Eggman. For Sonic's following test, Fastidious and the others had to compete in a dangerous race to Mount Safety and capture a flag, where Eggman pushed him early into the race when Sonic didn't even tell him and the others to begin. Shortly afterwards, he was knocked out of the race by Tails. He decided to sit out the rest in fetal position and weep.

While visiting the village, Fastidious and the other civilians were attacked by Dr. Eggman's Anti-fire Bot, who was trying to burn them with a flamethrower until Sonic stopped it.

When the Awardy Awards where being held, Fastidious was one of the guests invited to the Awardies where the award would be handed out. During the gala, he was accidently spilled punch on by Sticks in her attempt to be lady-like. At the height of the evening, he and the other guests were attacked by Dr. Eggman's robots when the doctor did not get the award. Thanks to Team Sonic though, Eggman was beaten and Fastidious could return to the gala.

Personality
Fastidious is calm and formal, but also fussy and uptight. He is a bit of a grammar-nut, correcting Sonic's speech during his sidekick try-outs, and uses the word "actually" a lot. According to Fastidious himself, he is an incredible coward, which is his biggest weakness, though he appears to be at peace with it.

Fastidious takes little personal interest in people, like when he deemed all Team Sonic's members a hedgehog, only to tell them when they disagreed that he did not care. He also has a tendency to ruin his own good time by sticking to subjects he is not all that interested unless someone pushes him towards something better, making him a wet blanket towards himself.
