#7 - Patch

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/4/3/AAQcMAAADiAv.jpg

For some reason, despite Patch being this high on my list, I'm struggling with what to say about him. Patch is just... Patch. He's hard to explain, but he's lovable. Loyal. The best friend you could ask for. Optimistic and relatively care-free. Naive, but in a charming loveable way.

He's also Artemis... I mean, Data 7's best friend and has been for as long as I know about! Trish, Field's sister, built Patch a voice box so that everyone could talk to him. It's hard to remember a time that Patch couldn't talk to all of us. Here's the first thing Patch said when he first starting wearing his voice box:

"It feels like I'm wearing a hat! Cheezy Crackah! But it's okay. Is that a thimble? I like thimbles. Do all thimbles have holes is that what makes a thimble a It's really easy I just have to think and do thimbles come without holes or would that make them just cu- I know who Trish is now we talked about how I'm Patch but thimbles are Cheezy Crackah! I'm so hungry she thinks I'm Sir Frederick it's a funny name. No, it doesn't hurt at Cheezy Crackah! My tummy is rumbling, it must mean I need to oh okay I'll hop on, oh that light is blinking red, I wonder why-"

It takes Patch a while to understand the difference between picking what is said through the voice box and just verbalizing every thought that pops into his head. And Patch has a lot of thoughts. A lot of plans. That's why he's the leader of Big Troubles, the animal gang (with eventually member Vicki Vale, maybe?!) that Artemis is a part of. He negotiated directly with Amanda Waller for them to have their own base and a mission which is quite the feat.

One of my favorite Patch moments was a lingering questions after campaign 1. Riev, an assassin with light manipulation powers, constantly was finding flashlights left on his doorstep. He had a whole collection of them in his closet, but the campaign ended witout us ever figuring out who was leaving them. Turns out, it was Patch. He knew Riev liked light, so Riev must like hundreds of flashlights. But Riev never thanked Patch for this, so now Riev is Patch's enemy.

Patch is terrible at remembering to not call Data 7 Artemis. He slips up on this a lot. The first time he slipped up to Brennus, he covered his tracks perfectly.

"Rover! He's a dog, like Artemis! Oops! I meant Data 7. Not Artemis! Data 7. My footpad. I don't even know an Artemis. There isn't one. That's a name I made up, like Irgolgroo! I just made it up, promise, Brennus!"

Patch also thought that poor Varra and Vertigo were destitude, broke, had so little to their name! Because they slept in the same bed. They couldn't even afford a second bed! How sad is that?

Patch loves playing hide and seek with Starsa. Brennus enjoys playing with them as well, even if he's a lot worse at it considering he's remarkably bigger than both of them.

Hopefully my ramblings here have given some insights into who Patch is. He's just lovable. How could anyone not love him?

Hint for #6: It's getting hard to write hints that doesn't just give away who's next! Let's see... this person has a sound effect that I associate with them. That's probably a bad hint. BUT OH WELL.
