Despite his youth, Tuppence bears a considerable sense of duty to his home land, and a keen understanding of the high costs of peace. When speaking to him as a young boy, he is adamant to join the Gothan guard as soon as possible. As a young adult, Tuppence is considerably more easy-going in terms or personality, but is by no means a layabout. He is eager to serve as his king's body guard during the party's travels, and relishes the opportunity to see the world.

Tuppence can equip a large selection of equipment. However, unlike the other human party members, he does not learn any spells.
==={{DQ5}}===
Tuppence first appears as a young boy in the second generation of the game, whose mother runs the Gotha inn. He looks up to his father, Thruppence, and wants to follow in his footsteps as a castle guard. When the Hero returns in the third generation, Tuppence can be found on the ground floor of Gotha castle, and can be spoken to to add him to the roster of human party members at [[Patty|Patty's]] [[Patty's Party Planning Place|Party Planning Place]]. Although he is the sole human party member who cannot use any magic at all, Tuppence possesses excellent physical stats and has access to some of the best equipment available, making him similar in function to [[Ragnar McRyan]] in [[Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen|the previous installment]].


Interestingly, Tuppence did not appear in the game's ending sequence during the original 16-bit finale. This was rectified with the [[Sony PlayStation|PlayStation 2]] remake, where he replaces one of the generic guards attending the celebration within the castle and receives his own dialogue.
