History
Jenny Everywhere developed a crush on the character after watching his adventure as a film, as she found the character to be "nice". Once time she watched the film with granny, she grouped the boy with the other children and criticised their lack of diversity; while Jenny knew that her granny was incorrect on how the children managed to access the factory she didn't disagree with her overall, somewhat resenting that none of the children were Native American.
However, as he was a fictional character, he did not grow up alongside Jenny, and by the time she reached high school she tried to disassociate her childhood from herself to try to stop the bullying she faced, but it was futile. (PROSE: A World of Pure Unimagination)
Behind the scenes
