Pleakley, a Plorgonarian from the planet Plorgonar, sports a slender, cyclops-like frame featuring three legs, a singular prominent eye, and a multipurpose sensory antenna serving as both ear and olfactory organ. Originally serving as the Galactic Federation’s Earth specialist, his academic yet impractical expertise led to his partnership with Dr. Jumba Jookiba to apprehend Experiment 626 (Stitch). Following their mission’s failure, both were banished to Earth, where Pleakley gradually assimilated into Lilo Pelekai’s unconventional family, emerging as a devoted caretaker and guardian. His personality blends emotional vulnerability with comedic panic and fastidiousness. An enthusiastic admirer of Earth’s culture, he frequently misinterprets human traditions while passionately championing mosquito preservation, convinced of their endangered status. Pleakley embraces feminine-coded attire, adopts nurturing roles, and excels in household management, though he resents his Earth-associated first name "Wendy"—a masculine identifier in his culture but feminized by human standards. Notable arcs include participating in a staged engagement with Nani Pelekai and Jumba to satisfy his visiting mother’s marital expectations, a ruse that ultimately strengthens his self-assurance and mutual familial respect. Later, he briefly leads Galactic Alliance Community College’s Earth Studies program before abandoning academia to prioritize his chosen family. Biologically, Pleakley lacks a skeletal structure and houses a compact cerebral organ, as demonstrated when Lilo and Stitch navigate his body during an experiment retrieval. His green-tinted antenna—dyed to conceal premature orange aging—intercepts subspace signals and savors odors humans find offensive. Despite his gangly form, he displays athletic agility in basketball, honed through Plorgonar’s gravity-ball pastime. Over time, his initially contentious dynamic with Jumba matures into a symbiotic camaraderie, juxtaposing the scientist’s moral flexibility against Pleakley’s principled empathy. His cross-dressing, initially tactical, evolves into an authentic expression of identity, symbolizing themes of self-acceptance and defiance of societal norms across his narrative journey.
