Doughy Latchkey is Orel's foil and best friend. He's a secondary character as well as Karl and Kim Latchkey's son.
Personality[]
Doughy depends on Orel and God for guidance. While he often gets scared during his misadventures with Orel and tries to talk his pal out of seeing his plans to the end, Doughy's willing to help is him anyway. This amount of trust in Orel's judgement, while sweet, often ends in disaster.
Doughy isn't very wise or knowledgeable. He often gets failing grades on class assignments and doesn't employ logical reasoning very often (such as asking Orel to play with a sundial at night). His naivete also makes him a prime target for manipulation, as seen with Clay using him to make Orel a better shot in "Trigger" and Ms. Sculptham mooching off of him in "Courtship." He also can't tell what others, or even himself, are feeling very often.
Despite being in a broken home and surrounded by horrible people, Doughy's quite easygoing. Even when he's aware of bad things that happen to him, he quickly forgets about it when something else pops up in his head.
Since his parents often ignore him or try to get him out of the house via bribes, Doughy often feels lonely. He ultimately wants parents who love him unconditionally, or at the very least acknowledge him as their son. This pursuit can betray his good nature, like when he tries to make Orel screw up his shooting practice in "Trigger" so he can go on the hunting trip instead.
He has an uncanny talent for detecting sexual intercourse. He likes ice cream.
History[]
Doughy was conceived as a means for his parents to have sex without sinning. Because they didn't care and were ill-equipped to raise him, they often gave Doughy money to get him out of the house. This left him desperate for affection, especially from parental figures.
He made friends with Tommy and another guy in his early years. Despite eventually doing the same with Orel, he was initially complicit in their bullying of him.
Family and Relationships[]
Karl Latchkey
Karl is Doughy's neglectful father who is usually annoyed whenever he sees Doughy or if Doughy is mentioned. Whenever Doughy tries to talk to him, Karl cuts him off and he gives him money so he won't hang around the house.
Kim Latchkey
Kim is Doughy's young-acting and irresponsible mother. She tends to ignore or get rid of him to talk on the phone or have sex with Karl.
Orel Puppington
Orel is Doughy's best friend who spends more time with him then anyone else. He's often glad to go along with whatever Orel thinks is right, even if he gets a feeling that it might not be. Unlike many of the adults in Moralton, they like each other just they way they are and without condition. In "Trigger," Doughy taunted Orel so he would go on Clay's hunting trip instead.
Agnes Sculptham
While Ms. Sculptham is indifferent and dismissive of Doughy, he was infatuated with his teacher during "Courtship," buying her gifts under the weak illusion that she was interested in him. It was shattered when Ms. Sculptham told him bluntly that she will only appreciate him if she buys everything she asks for and then some.
Doughy looked up to Mr. Creepler, who would give Doughy ice cream, compliments and gifts to lure him into his van. He almost raped Doughy, but the child fortunately escaped.
Clay Puppington
In "Trigger," he tasked Doughy to help Orel become a good enough shot before the hunting trip. As Orel continued to screw up, Clay slowly but surely replaced him with Doughy around the house, to the point where he taught Doughy to have his first cigarette. After Orel knew how to shoot all the liquor bottles, Doughy was brushed aside; Clay revealed that he was just scaring Orel into shooting correctly so he could go on the hunting trip.
