Personality

Yashy is considered one of the more outspoken and confident characters through the series, never being shy to speak her own mind or be a leader instead of being a follower. It should also be noted that she ends a lot of her sentences with “man” and has a tendency to take a few letters off of her words, abbreviating “spooking” into “spookin’” and “want to” into “wanna”. She’s a relatively brash character through the whole series, being used for comic relief and only getting serious with the cast on a few occasions.

Appearance

Yashy is a green bipedal lizard. Her original design was based on the Yoshi Nintendo character before the comic began serialisation. Some of these traits have made it into the comic as gags, particularly Yashy is able to use her tongue, but has chose not to ever since Chapter 1 of the comic and is only seen using this within Chirpy’s Introduction. Yashy has dressed up in the past and was depicted in a cape with fangs for her Halloween costume in Mischief Night.

Major relationships

Blur:

Yashy’s relationship with Blur is a mostly friendly one, the two of them playing cards and video games together on most occasions, with the exception of some insults being thrown at each other, usually in the heat of the moment. There have been some small romantic jabs between the two, but they seemed to be more centered around Blur trying to get Yashy’s attention rather than the other way around. Yashy also used to dislike Blur’s presence, but became friends with him as time went by and the latter now calls her “Greenie”.

Chirpy:

Chirpy is Yashy’s “child”, with Chirpy treating Yashy as if she was her real mother, despite knowing that she was hatched from an egg years ago. She calls out her mother’s behaviour on occasion as she looks up to her, but Yashy never truly gets upset at Chirpy and loves her all the same. She seems to care if Chirpy is injured and talks to her whenever she wants to talk about something that Blur would be insulted by. She also calls Chirpy “Chirps” as a nickname and tries to protect her innocence.

Lily:

Yashy’s relationship with Lily appears to be a love-hate relationship, where she only hates Lily if she loses to her in a card game or if Yashy questions why she’s still living in Lucy’s home. Although Lily has tried to attack them once after being pelted with small rocks, it’s possible that she was either aiming for Yashy or didn’t intend to hit anyone at all in an attempt to scare the pets. She also seems to be beyond dressing up as someone for Halloween and this leads to occasional complaints from Yashy about how old she acts.

Lucy:

Lucy has continuously acted as a mother to Yashy through most of the series, shielding her from the truth about Sandy and constantly telling the pets that she loves them, which is averted with her walking away from a crying Yashy in (December), showing her lack of care for the pets, followed by her leaving them behind in an unknown location after Chapter 76. Before that, she was the one that the pets loved the most, Yashy trying to reassure her about Mike’s fall in the Acapulco arc and Lucy saving Yashy when she was about to be engulfed by a huge wave.

Mike:

Yashy sees Mike as Lucy’s true boyfriend and continuously calls him “flea” as a nickname through the series, but sees him as a friend for the majority of the series. Although Mike doesn’t like Yashy too much whenever she insults other people or ruins the moment, he wouldn’t imagine himself hurting her. Yashy does hurt him on occasion such as when Mike had a cast and calls him a “Glameow” when she picks a Pokemon for him.

Minor relationships

Daisy:

Daisy is detested by Yashy as she believes that her main goal is to break up the relationship between Lucy and Mike, calling her “whore” at every possible occasion. She tries to grab Daisy or get her hands on her whenever she’s within arms reach and yells whenever she’s around her to make sure that no one interacts with her. Daisy seems to think of Yashy as an “annoyance”, which weirds her out, but it doesn’t look like Daisy hates Yashy at any point in the series, possibly believing that it’s just a phase.

Paulo:

Yashy was taken in by Paulo’s charms during Chapter 8 of the comic, but later looks up to him in the series, calling him awesome after he pulls off an interesting trick while the group is walking across a cliff in (Search and Rescue) and sings along with him on the plane. She doesn’t seem to enjoy the prospect of him and Tess having sex in the room across from her and much like the other characters, she doesn’t seem to have any qualms about beating him up over cheating in (Up to Bat).
