Britt Sweef is a character and protagonist of the Butterverse.
History[]
A nomadic inter-galactic traveller hailing from the planet Sweifxam, Britt travels the galaxies in his trusty shooting star space ship, seeking out new lands and experiences.
Personality[]
Britt is a carefree and cheeky individual, who enjoys meeting new species and exploring strange lands. Due to his Sweefish abilities, he is quite easily able to mimic the appearance of other species to his advantage, and often does so out of both safety and to mess with them harmlessly. Otherwise, Britt is a friendly and helpful Sweef, and very loyal to his friends and family, remaining optimistic even in desperate times.
Appearance[]
Britt is a male Sweef of average height and weight for his species. He is dark blue with a light blue muzzle, and a green-blue crest. He has four horns, the larger two of which curve backwards. Between the horns is a turquoise power source.
Britt wears a frayed brown shawl, dark brown shorts and a black belt with a planet symbol on it. He also wears a black headband with green squiggles.
Travels[]
Britt has no clear job, but is rather an adventurer and traveller, getting by on his own foraged resources and friendships forged along the way.
Relationships[]
Juno Sweef[]
Juno was Britt’s sister and the two were close despite opposing personalities. Britt was always an outdoorsy, high adrenaline seeker with ambitions to explore the cosmos, whilst his older sister was calmer, and had aspirations of owning a small bookstore in their home town and raising a family. The two of them supported each other through thick and thin, and Britt is still very much mourning her loss.
Marz Sweef[]
Britt had a decent relationship with his brother-in-law before his demise, although Marz’s personality was much more akin to Juno’s quiet nature than Britt’s outgoing one, so they had some personality differences.
Nova Sweef[]
Britt loves and holds his only nibling close to his heart, and although Britt understood he wouldn’t be a good fit to raise a child, he’s still done everything he can to ensure Nova grows up safely and happily, even if it’s away from their home planet. When he’s not exploring a new land or returning home, Britt can be found in Smurf Village telling Nova tales of their parents from Britt’s childhood, showing them new finds, or partaking in Nova’s newly discovered Earth traditions.
Talis Sweef[]
Talis is Britt’s childhood friend and the reason he was able to reconnect with Dreamy after their initial meeting. When Talis received a letter addressed to a ‘Swoof’ and transcribed the language, he was able to locate the origins and landed in Smurf village. Upon recognising the little blue creatures as similar to the ones his friend Britt had talked about, Talis reaffirmed to Britt that Dreamy was still fascinated by extra-terrestrials, and so Britt revisits Earth.
Dreamy Smurf[]
After revisiting Earth for the second time, Britt and Dreamy end up on an adventure when Britt teleports them out of the clutches of Gargamel – and into a space adventure. This begins their lifelong friendship and pen-palship, as well as a slightly deeper relationship, although not romantic. It was due to their strong friendship and having passed on knowledge of Sweefs that Britt trusted Dreamy to be capable of raising Nova after they were orphaned. In some ways, this connection through the family only served to make the bond stronger than before and Dreamy may very well be Britt’s best friend.
Tracker Smurf[]
Britt and Tracker have a cordial friendship and between them perhaps enjoy teasing Dreamy, although Britt has no desire to interfere with the marriage on a romantic level. The two have a mutual understanding in the sense that Britt is sometimes the third wheel of the relationship regardless.
Trivia[]
- Britt is intended to be the alien from ‘It Came From Outer Smurf’ but modified to also be a Sweef, as the appearance in that was simply a space suit.
- Britt’s native language is Sweefish, but he’s able to self-learn other languages; including Smurfish through Dreamy’s letters to Talis.
