Leroy the Turtle

Leroy the Turtle is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. He is an anthropomorphic turtle who works as a mail carrier and postal worker on Seaside Island. He also occasionally shows a profession as a DJ.

Appearance
Leroy is a short anthropomorphic turtle, about as tall as Tails. He has a somewhat round brown shell with a tan underside and a few yellow segments on the back. His arms and legs are both rather stubby while his head is slightly large with a thick neck. His attire consists of a brown Stetson with a yellow band, a short white neckerchief and reddish-brown shoes.

Season one
Leroy was one of the many people nominated for the yearly Awardy Award and was as such invited to the Awardy Awards at Mayor Fink's mansion. At this gala, Leroy helped Sticks, another nominee, with cutlery. At the end, Leroy was named the winner of the Awardy Award, but Dr. Eggman, who had cheated himself to be a nominee, was furious at the outcome and attacked Leroy and the others in vengeance. Once Sticks and Team Sonic dealt with Eggman, Leroy agreed with Sticks that she was the hero of the evening, though he intended to keep the Awardy Award, prompting Sticks to take it by force.

During a raid of the Swifty the Shrew army, Leroy welcomed Sonic the Hedgehog back from his banishment with a DJ performance while the hedgehog saved the Village. While Knuckles served as deputy mayor, Leroy got him to approve a permit to built a tunnel in the Village, but ended up in an argument about his rights with other Villagers with permits overlapping his. On New Year's Eve, Leroy served as the DJ for the New Year's Eve party in the Village Center. During this, Dr. Eggman used his Slow Motion Machine to slow down time long enough for him to beat Sonic in something before New Year, though Leroy could not see Eggman's victory as it happened too fast for him to notice it.

Leroy later met Eggman at the post office, who wanted a package he had held onto when Eggman was not there to receive it. When Leroy refused to hand it over unless their policy was followed, Eggman had his Decimator Bot attack him. Ever calm, Leroy was saved by Team Sonic. He then had Eggman follow the office's troublesome policy while stirring up more issues for the doctor, before he handed over the package. Continuing his job, Leroy later delivered a telegram to Amy Rose, only to be knocked over when Amy took his delivery. Once Leroy finally got back up though, he was knocked over again by an explosion from a stray missile. Leroy would later come to the Robot Battle Royale to watch the tournament, where he saw Eggman steal Tails' Hypno-bot at the end.

Season two
Hearing that an asteroid would impact the earth, Leroy showed up to buy a spot in Eggman's bunker to ride out the impending apocalypse in. Although Leroy did not get a spot, Team Sonic would stop the asteroid. He would later show up at Career Day to give a speech about his career to the Village's youth. Afterwards, he returned to the post office where he had to deal with Mark the Tapir, a Sonic fanboy trying to mail Sonic's postage-due package.

Personality
Leroy is normally formal and rather calm; even when held in the grasp of Decimator Bot, he did not show the slightest distress. He also strongly follows his post office's policy, no matter how much trouble it means for others, like in the several cases where he could have given Eggman his package, but did not in accordance to the rules. Even when threatened, he refused to disregard the rules. He also has a quite profound knowledge about formal table settings.

Leroy is a poor winner and somewhat of a glory hog. He openly gloated to the other nominees after winning the Awardy Award and refused to give it up even after he admitted there was someone who deserved it more.

Weakness
Should Leroy fall on the back of his shell, he will be rendered nearly immobile. Although he can get on his feet on his own, the effort is exhausting and takes a great deal of time.

Trivia
