Courage

Very cowardly, but brave when he needs to be. Doesn’t talk much. Tends to be jumpy. Kindhearted, but introverted. Always nervous or anxious. At times can be snarky, but always shapes up and does what he needs to do. The things he does for love….

Things can get lonely in nowhere, he wishes for companionship somewhat. However, he isn’t easily approachable as he always tends to run from people who are strangers to him. He loves Muriel like a mother, but would rather not associate with Eustace.

Courage is a small pink dog of undetermined breed (possibly a mix breed) with thin and long black ears. He has a black triangular and tiny limbs in proportion to his body. His middle toe always seems to point straight ahead regardless of stance, making it appear as though Courage is always tip-toeing. He has numerous large human-like teeth, with one having a circular hole in it. He has three black spots on his back. Courage, as the show's title suggests, is an extremely cowardly and anxious dog that is easily frightened by almost anything. Despite this, when his owners or friends are in the face of danger, he will stop at nothing to save them, which easily makes him the bravest and most morally-aligned character throughout the series, living up to his name.

Though he is willing to risk his own life to protect Muriel at all costs, his irrationality sometimes causes others to doubt his intuition. Courage has been presented as an almost entirely selfless character, working to benefit others with usually little to no regard for his own well-being, risking his own life dozens of times simply to assure his owner's safety.

Although his secondary owner, Eustace, is cruel to him, he is not offended by his harsh words and cruel tricks, especially compared to Muriel. This is most likely because he has learned to deal with the jealous man's cruel jokes and short temper over time. Despite this, Courage has been shown to care about Eustace's safety as well (although not as much as Muriel's) and will go great lengths to protect him from danger, even though he is not always as successful in protecting him as he is with Muriel. On some occasions, Courage would team up with Eustace in an attempt to save Muriel or themselves from danger.

Courage is somewhat childish in his spare time, as he has expressed interest in and enjoys playing with toys and building sandcastles, as well as other childish or dog-like activities (such as burying or digging things up).
