Jon Smith

Jon Smith (also known as Death Crow, much to his mother's dismay) is the bass player in The Nobbly Ostrich and is one of Robin's most skilled students (although Robin does notice a lot of bloodshed in the lyrics of Jon's songs). He is 15 years old.

Before The Nobbly Ostrich
Robin went (and still goes) to the same school that Robin teaches at. He studies music and photography, and also takes some of the band's publicity photos.

The Nobbly Ostrich
Jon doesn't get on with the adults, especially Alfred who is always making sarky comments such as "Did a wolf attack those jeans on your way up here?". This angers Jon so much that some of his dark lyrics are about the band. However, he does get along well with Po almost acting as a big brother, as Jon knows what it's like to have a father who doesn't give you much attention.

Personal Life
He is extremely middle class. His father is a lawyer and his mother owns her own catering business Reggie's Veggies (she doesn't know anyone called Reggie but she likes the rhyme). However, you would not think Jon would be a middle class teen. He is always wearing dark ripped clothing and seems to have permanent greasy hair.
