Foaly is a fictional character in the Artemis Fowl series written by Eoin Colfer. He is the technical consultant to the Lower Elements Police (LEP). He is the most intelligent centaur on and under the Earth, considers himself to be an unappreciated genius, and is the inventor of most of the advanced technology possessed by the fairy world, rivaled only by Opal Koboi. Little is known of Foaly's earlier life. There is no obvious indication of his age though he seems to be older than Holly Short. In Artemis Fowl, Foaly is said to have been designing transport pods for over a century, and in Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony Holly states that she is only in her eighties. It is revealed in Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident that Foaly cannot dance well (four left hooves); and he is married to a centaur called Caballine, whom he was first revealed to be dating in Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony. ==Personality== Foaly is among the most intelligent characters in the series (rivaled only by Opal Koboi, Minerva Paradizo and Artemis himself), with several inventions to his credit. He loves to annoy Commander Julius Root, and considered it a perk in his job because everybody but him is replaceable. He delights in bragging and boasting and making sure he is smarter than the general populace and makes sure the "People" (or Fairies) know it. Foaly enjoys keeping track of various humans, keeping track of human technologies, explaining his technological marvels to others, and researching conspiracy theories (he is quite paranoid about these, to the point of wearing a tinfoil hat). He also seems to like human soap operas, western films, and Star Wars as is stated in The Eternity Code and the Artemis Fowl Files. Anything that does not involve his "genius mind" and that the "normal individual" can accomplish he calls "grunt work." This is demonstrated in the second Artemis Fowl book, when Commander Root orders him to disassemble and scan various pieces of a shuttle. In The Artemis Fowl Files, in an interview with Foaly, he states that he has recently taken up line dancing. In Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony he also shows a habit of singing "Riverbend" songs as he works under pressure, or it could be that he is in love with a female centaur. He also says that he enjoys watching videos or reading articles of himself, an example of the centaur's natural arrogance. He also has a bitter rivalry with Opal Koboi, only because he won their University science fair with his iris-cam, while Opal thought her Koboi wings were far superior, accusing Foaly of winning only because he was a male. An extremely good friend of Holly's, he sticks by her and helps her out of tight situations quite often. He also has a rivalry/friendship with Artemis Fowl II, and has joked quite often that he'd like to open up the boy genius' brain and finds out what "makes him tick." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Foaly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
