Arisaig Jeppingham's Bio

• Is Antigonish’s nephew.
• Even though he’s in his teenage years, he has very restricted growth, which means he’s only a few metres tall, about the same height as Pictou or Parrsboro, so he looks more like a very young child.
• Looks a lot like his uncle Antigonish.
• And just like his uncle, he has a very quick temper.
• Akin to Antigonish, he has a slightly irritated face most of the time.
• But if he gets aggravated, he becomes terribly irate, and he begins to shout at the top of his voice, hurting anyone who has the misfortune to get in his way, like smacking them. For such a young age, he is quite a brilliant heartbreaker – just as good as his uncle Antigonish!
• Has a grudge against James River, matter of fact pretty much anyone, in veins of his uncle.
• Shares a lot of his catchphrases with Antigonish, such as “He’s a victim of his self” (or “She’s a victim of her self”) and “Ack!”
• His uncle Antigonish teaches him how to play the bagpipes every day. So he is often seen practising his uncle’s bagpipes with ire, frowning irascibly.
• However, he actually wants to be an athlete at the City Of Canada Highland Games instead!
• So he usually practises throwing a caber to get it perfectly upright, but often it falls over, so he unleashes his rage on his uncle Antigonish, and the whole thing turns into a shouting match between uncle and nephew!
• Is very proud of being Scottish-Canadian, just like his uncle Antigonish.
• Shares his pessimism and tendency to complain about everything in life with his uncle. (He also partly picked it up from Dartmouth, since he always seems to see his uncle Antigonish with him…)
• Because he is so squat, he has great difficulty reaching for things that are very high up above him, such as a book on a high shelf, so his uncle Antigonish has to get it for him, which makes him a little irritated.
• Often gets pestered for his very short stature, which makes him release his huge rage onto those who mock his dumpy height.
• His uncle Antigonish often carries him around to help him get about, but he usually does it while he’s carrying his bagpipes (which is all the time), so his uncle Antigonish has quite a hard time trying to carry both his bagpipes and his petite nephew simultaneously!
