Profile[]

Roy is a famous film and television producer who lives with his daughter Candle in a mansion in suburban Table Town. In "Fresh Outta Grandmas", Candle indicates that Roy is divorced from Candle's mother.
Roy heads the company Foxhole Productions, which has produced numerous popular films and TV series. He is especially prominent in the realm of reality TV, masterminding shows such as Table Town Has Talent, Table Town's Cringiest Wannabes, The 5 Jerks!, and Dancing on the Tables.
Appearance[]
Roy is a fox with red fur, a cream-colored face, a black nose, and light red markings on his stomach and the insides of his ears. The fur on his tail is mostly red, save for the tip, which is cream. He also has bushy black eyebrows, though they are revealed to be fake in "Ghost Wolf's Art". He is typically seen wearing a gray turtleneck sweater.
Personality[]

Roy conducts himself like a typical showbiz bigwig, displaying a brash and assertive personality. As an entertainment professional, he is very business-minded and tends to make decisions that would most benefit Foxhole Productions. At times, he can be rather callous when it comes to his work; in "Pool Party", for instance, he shows no empathy when Kiff points out the demeaning premise of Table Town's Cringiest Wannabes.

Nonetheless, Roy also has a more amiable and compassionate side, especially when dealing with his daughter, whom he often spoils. In "Trevor's Rockin' Halloween Bash", Roy befriends a cluster of spiders and together they assist Kiff and Barry in defeating Scarm Scaremly. In "Snow More Ketchup", Roy lets Kiff and Barry's families, Reggie, Helen, and the Pone take shelter in his mansion during a raging snowstorm, allowing them to stay for as long as necessary and help themselves to the mansion's ample food and supplies – though he draws the line at sharing his rare and expensive ketchup with them, leading Kiff, Barry, Candle, and Reggie to search the mansion for Roy and the ketchup.
Relationships[]
Kiff Chatterley and Barry Buns[]
Kiff and Roy socializing.
In "Pool Party", Kiff passes herself off as an entertainment executive at Candle's birthday party and acquaints herself with Roy to secure Helen an audition for him. However, when Kiff sabotages Helen's TV shoot to prevent her from being humiliated on Table Town's Cringiest Wannabes, Roy has Kiff thrown out of the party with Barry, and the two end up being featured on the show.
Kiff and Barry have subsequently found themselves involved in Roy's productions from time to time. When Roy's TV shows suffer a ratings slump in "The Five Pigeons of the Acapellapocalypse", Kiff gives him the idea for The 5 Jerks!, which becomes a hit. Roy later features Kiff and her classmates, along with Principal Secretary, on Dancing on the Tables at Candle's request in "Principal Dance Socks". In "Blooper Quest", Candle brings Kiff's self-made film Found in Ambiguity to Roy's attention, and he is so impressed that he finances Kiff's professional reshoot of the film.
Candle Fox[]
Roy loves and pampers Candle, who enjoys an extravagant lifestyle and feels comfortable asking him for things she likes. In "Principal Dance Socks", she even convinces him to feature her school on Dancing on the Tables to give them the upper hand in their rivalry with Tuft Pierre.
