Count D
The mysterious and androgynous manager of the Pet Shop, D prides himself on selling Love and Dreams. He truly cares about his creatures and genuinely wishes his pets and their new owners the best ... but he is also always aware of the dire alternative outcome that is possible should his instructions about care and handling be ignored. D has quite a sweet tooth and as Leon has discovered, D is all too eager to discuss his pets over a slice of dessert and a flavorful cup of tea. He has a pet of his own, a bizarre little creature which is part bat, part rabbit. No one knows what the 'D' in the Count's name is short for.

Leon Orcut
