Sussy the Magpie, Jinu's six-eyed, sassy, and loyal companion.

Appearance

  • Eyes: Six eyes (three on each side of its head).
  • Plumage: Black and white feathers, primarily black on upper body and tail, white around midsection.
  • Accessories: Often depicted wearing a small black top-hat (originally stolen from Derpy).

Personality

Sussy is intelligent, sassy, and often exhibits snarky, sarcastic behavior, especially towards Jinu and Derpy. Despite its mischievous nature and tendency to steal (like Derpy's hat), Sussy is deeply loyal and caring towards its companions.

Cultural Significance

Sussy's character draws inspiration from traditional Korean folk art, specifically the "kkachi horangi" (magpie and tiger) motif found in "hojakdo" paintings. In these artworks, the magpie symbolizes good fortune and serves as a messenger, while the tiger often represents authority or power. The pairing was sometimes used to satirize the ruling class, with the magpie embodying the common people.

Relationships
