5.According to X, Y was among the characters X created "the very first day". Y is inspired by X’s best friend Sean Harris, but X has clearly stated that X "never set out to describe Sean in Y, but Y has a Sean-ish turn of phrase." Like Harris is to X, Y is "always there" when Z needs him. The character of Y fits many of the stereotypes expected of the sidekick; he is often used as comic relief, is loyal to the hero, and lacks much of the talent Z possesses. Unlike some sidekicks, he is not cowardly, demonstrating bravery several times, despite his arachnophobia.
