Clay Calloway

Appearance

Clay is an elderly lion with tan fur and a white mane. He wears a red coat with a blue plaid button-up shirt underneath, blue jeans with a brown belt, and brown boots. When he performs, Clay wears a black leather jacket, black jeans, and black boots.

Personality

When introduced, Clay showed himself to be a dramatic and bitter recluse in how he scared off Miss Crawly with firecrackers, his motorcycle, and shooting at her with a paint gun, likely as retaliation for his warning signs not being heeded and his privacy being intruded upon. When Buster Moon and Ash went to meet him, he told them to go away, but was considerate enough to warn them not to touch his fence (which was electrified) and give them first-aid in his house after they were electrocuted. Regardless, Clay showed himself to be a bitter recluse, unwilling to engage with the world or with his musical career after the passing of his wife, Ruby, who was his muse and the inspiration for all of his songs. Because of her death, Clay was unable to listen to his own songs for fifteen years since he lost his Ruby to sickness. The loss of the love of his life had seemingly left Clay broken and lost in his own grieving, leaving him unable to reconcile with the fact that she was gone by his refusal to have anything more to do with music, his own or otherwise, because music reminded him painfully too much of his Ruby.

BiographySing 2

Formerly a rock star legend, Clay isolated himself from the rest of the world after the death of his beloved wife, Ruby (which happens to be the reason why he hasn't listened to his own music in 15 years, as all of his songs are inspired by her). He later meets Buster Moon and his friends, who aim to persuade him to perform on stage again.
