Doctor John H. Watson (ジョン・H・ワトソン, Jon H Watoson) is the best friend and companion of Sherlock Holmes. Under the pseudonym of "Conan Doyle", he publishes the stories of Sherlock Holmes as a novel series.
Appearance[]
John is a young adult man with short ash-blond hair and brown eyes. He's usually seen wearing a green three-piece suit with a brown vest. He also carries a cane, though Sherlock insists that John has no need for it. His height is an above average 5'10" (179 cm).
Personality[]
John is an intelligent and friendly man. Unlike Sherlock, who acts morally dubiously on multiple occasions, John sticks to his moral code tightly. He is against breaking the law and is shocked by Sherlock's consideration of killing someone for information. Later, after Sherlock does commit murder, John reprimands him and reminds him it's a burden he'll carry for the rest of his life.
Formerly acting as a doctor in the Afghan war, he carries emotional scars and trauma that led to him using a cane for walking even though physically he had recovered.
John is noted to have been a successful womanizer before he met Mary. According to Sherlock, he frequently smelled like different women's perfumes.
Origin[]
John Watson is based off the main character Dr. Watson in Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. The pen name John uses is the original author of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
