Baileywick

"You can always count on Baileywick."

- The Maids. Baileywick is the Castle Steward in the Disney Junior series Sofia the First. His responsibility is to make sure everything in the castle is where it should be when it should be, as he explains to Sofia on her first day as a princess.

Personality
He is very dutiful and a bit of a stiff, but he's nice and patient. He has also given advice and guidance to Sofia, not just because it's his job but also because he is kind and fond of the new princess. Both are of the village class, which allows Baileywick to understand Sofia's troubles. For instance, when Sofia took the blame for ruining a stained-glass window, Baileywick knew it had actually been Prince James. He gently told Sofia that telling a lie to prevent someone from getting in trouble is still wrong.

Recently, Baileywick has shown himself to be uncommonly selfless and quite dedicated to his job as the Castle Steward, shown in the episode Baileywick's Day Off, when he didn't want much on his birthday and had to practically be shoved out the door to go celebrate his birthday with his older brother Nigel. Despite this, he willingly put the needs of James, Amber, and Sofia before his own birthday, and almost didn't get to spend his day off. Luckily, the children and their parents, King Roland and Queen Miranda, salvaged what time was left to give him a proper celebration.

In The Buttercups, it is revealed he was a Gopher Scout in his youth and was always prepared for anything. At the end of the episode he's made an Honorary Buttercup Troop leader.

Baileywick's position as steward is greatly praised throughout the castle, and he is on very good terms with the Enchancian royalty to the point where he is considered a member of the family.

Like Princess Amber, Baileywick is also afraid of frogs, resulting in having ranidaphobia. In "Mom's the Word", he is transformed into a frog and becomes scared and embarrassed of himself. He doesn't like to be hugged. He also appears to get seasick very easily, despite having sailed many times before (Sofia the First: The Floating Palace).
