Introduction of Reginald Sneasel in Sonichu 9.

Reginald is a Sneasel who wears a headband. He is not only an excuse for Chris to remove Punchy from being paired up with Angelica, but he's also an excuse to draw himself back into the comic while stuck in the time void. His inclusion is highly confusing as he is introduced shortly after Simonla announces she wants to name her hypothetical son "Reginald".

In the Comic

Reginald is a Sneasel who makes his first comic appearence in episode 19. Reginald is in love with Layla and tries to steal her from Punchy with a cunning plan. Unfortunately, Layla and Punchy still manage to hook up despite Reginald cutting the power cord on the computer.

While Reginald is feeling sorry for himself outside, he is approached by Angelica who flirts with him. As a result Reginald manages to summon up the courage to ask her out. To her everlasting shame, she says yes. In episode 20, he was seen in bed with Angelica, proving that even after being raised by nuns, she, like all of the other Rosechus, is a total slut.

Age

In the first draft of episode 19, Reginald is shown to be 28 years old. In the final version of the comic though, Chris de-ages him by 10 years, thus making Reginald 18, the same age as Layla. Chris most likely made this change so Reginald wouldn't seem like such an obvious avatar for him. However, it's also likely that this was done so Chris wouldn't look like a pedofork.


= As a Mary Sue

While Chris is stuck in the time void, Reginald is essentially the replacement Chris. Sad, pathetic, lonely, and in his late 20s, Reginald attempts to sabotage Punchy's burgeoning relationship with Layla out of jealousy. Like Chris, he fails. Unlike Chris, however, Reginald somehow manages to find a boyfriend-free girl willing to look past the layers of self-loathing to his shallow, childish core. Of note is that Angelica finds Reginald "honest", and that she approached him.

Angelica and Reginald's pairing is essentially how Chris would like his first relationship to start. Chris wants a girl to be attracted to his patheticness honesty and approach him so that he doesn't have to do any of the legwork on his own.
