- The Puppeteer's first words in LittleBigPlanet PS Vita

The Puppeteer (real name Franklin Wadsworth Emerson) is a character in LittleBigPlanet PS Vita from Spooky Mansion. He first appears in the form of a voice on a tape recorder in the level The Puppeteer's Diary, but first physically appears in The Power of Laughter.

Appearance
The Puppeteer is portrayed as a wooden figure with closed eyes similar to the Tired Eyes costume piece from LittleBigPlanet 2, a white and blue beret, bushy white eyebrows, a carrot nose similar to a snowman, two nails sticking from his mouth reminiscent of a pipe, a bushy white beard, two forks for arms and hands and a slightly grubby blue jumpsuit. His costume can be obtained by acing the final level of the game, In The Clutches Of Evil.

Personality
Similar to Mags the Mechanic and Avalon Centrifuge, The Puppeteer is a scientific genius. However unlike the other two who are generally happy about their work, The Puppeteer is sad. This was due to losing his "Puppet Friends" prior to the game's events. He however becomes happy after their unexpected reunion. He, despite being a protagonist, created The Hollows but regarded them as "side-effects" of trying to create replacements for his Puppet Friends.
