-His real name isn't Chaucer

-He's the only talking animal in his universe

-Prior to his zoo 'residency', he was affianced

I think that's all I'll share about him for the time being. He's giving me a dirty look . . .

Hi! I wanted to ask if Noël Coward was visual inspiration for your posh tiger character Chaucer? I know there’s lots of other people and characters who fit that specific flamboyant, well-dressed, early to mid 20th century, british vibe, but Coward was definitely the first person that popped into my mind when I saw him.

Though idk if your tiger guy is british. He just gives that energy lol

No, he wasn't, but thank you for further inspiration !

If I had to pin any human influence onto Chaucer, it would be James Mason ( voice claim ). So you are correct, Chaucer does indeed have a British accent. Perhaps a little more clipped than Coward's but just as elegant.

Chaucer is also prone to pronouncing words like down as 'dine', town as 'tine' and pound as 'pind'. Much like Frank N Furter from RHPS. I'm not entirely sure which specific British dialect that is but Tim Curry labelled it as the accent of a 'Belgravia Hostest with the Mostest', so we'll go with that.
