Tonjil
CharacterTonjil is a young nomad boy from Long Ring Long Land, the grandson of Tonjit and brother to Tonsfer. Cheerful and fond of his grandfather's horse, he has lately taken up stilts, a hobby that has his parents nervous about where it might lead.
Appearance
Tonjil is a small boy whose black hair is cropped short. A white bandanna sits across his brow, and he dresses in a striped tunic cinched at the waist by a sash.
Personality
Bright and playful by nature, Tonjil takes great delight in spending time with the horse Shelly. His newfound enthusiasm for walking on stilts has begun to alarm his parents, who fear the pastime could send him down the same path that once stranded his grandfather high in the air.
History
After Tonjit returned home from his long ordeal atop the stilts, the boy finally got to meet his grandfather, throwing his arms around Shelly in his excitement. Years afterward, during the Egghead Arc, Tonjil gathered with the rest of his family to hear Vegapunk's worldwide broadcast. Fittingly, his name opens with the syllable ton, the same sound shared by his grandfather Tonjit and his sister Tonsfer.
