Oswald the Lucky Rabbit - Disney

General Summary: Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (or simply Oswald) was an animated character created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks for Universal Pictures. His first appearance being in the short film, Trolley Troubles on September 5, 1927. Oswald is notable for his ability to disassemble and reshape his body parts at will in a cartoon like fashion.

He is credited for pioneering “personality animation”, which refers to cartoon characters displaying identifiable emotion. In Oswald’s case, he was often depicted as haughty, feisty, and overzealous, which typically led to comical misadventures that put the rabbit’s trademark luck to its limits.

His main resurgence beginning in the 2010's videogame Epic Mickey, depicting Oswald as a long-forgotten actor with a vendetta against Mickey. Since then, Oswald has appeared in merchandise, theme parks, and various animated projects.

Physical Description: Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is as tall as Mickey Mouse. Due to the nature of his origins, he's a classic cartoon rabbit with long round ears and bears pitch black fur on his body, with a small and round pudgy body and a white furred face. He wears blue trousers and nothing else.

Personality Summary: He still has his mischievous mischievous but well-meaning character from the 1920's, but the whole being "forgotten" has made him very regretful, serious and short-tempered. Maybe even more than Mickey Mouse, as shown that most of these bad traits were aimed towards his "step-brother" (Mickey). Another showcase of this more frustrated behavior is through his humor, which became more dry and dark. But nonetheless, he still has his good output on life, a sense of fun/humor and is very brave. He also still remains fundamentally good-hearted.

He's not going to be very welcoming towards strangers and will even come across as spiteful towards people he doesn't trust, implying some sense of trust issues from his time being "forgotten". This trauma has made him more overconfident and impulsive, bordering to the point that Oswald can be ignorant and ultimately fumble. Ironically, despite having the moniker of "lucky," Oswald is prone to bad luck as much as good luck, which has led him into many unfortunate situations often caused by his own overconfidence - he can only escape from these by his own good luck.

Compared to Mickey's personality, he's a little big more egotistical or fallible. Or if he talked the talk but wasn't as good at walking the walk. Despite it all, he is motivated by a love for adventure and heroism.

Other Facts: The biggest joy of his life is not only Ortensia, his wife. But the 420 Bunny Children he has. With his luck on his repertoire, Oswald is willing to take risks and will attempt to do what's best for his family and friends. Though he doesn't appear to be, Oswald can be quite friendly if he wants to. His love for Ortensia is just as strong as Mickey's love for Minnie.

Due to the events of Epic Mickey, and Mickey's willingness to get Wasteland restored and Ortensia revived, Oswald's relationship with Mickey was sealed into a friendship, and perhaps even extending into a true brotherhood. Nowadays he's on good terms with Mickey -- But the past is the past, and it still haunts him.
