Asswhole Loadbearer — Male, Robasapien, indeterminate middle age

Role: Supporting — recurring across future books

Asswhole is the owner of Loadbearer Construction — a prominent and highly respected construction company — and the father of Assette. A man of considerable professional standing and genuine competence who is navigating the particular challenge of a teenage daughter who has decided that everything he represents is deeply embarrassing. He loves her fiercely and has absolutely no idea what to do about any of it.

He is solid, dependable, and quietly proud in the way of someone who has built things that last. As a Robasapien — a donkey-person — he shares his species' cultural expression of punctuating moments of strong emotion with a sudden, involuntary "HEE-HAW," which he delivers with the same matter-of-fact dignity he applies to everything else. The Hee-Haw is spoken. Not a braying sound.

Voice: Steady, measured, and warm with an undercurrent of parental exasperation. The kind of voice that commands quiet respect without raising itself.
