Fonzie

Arthur Fonzarelli aka The Fonz or as the chicks call him 'Fonzie' is the most important character in the Happy Days series and is often cameoed in the other spin offs. Fonzie is a greaser and motorcycle enthusiast, he is often wearing a brown leather jacket, a white t-shirt and blue jeans. He also works as a mechanic and later becomes a teacher of mechanics.

He is 'cool'. The personification of what is cool for the 1950s. He is tough and isn't scared to fight but he is a loyal man to his friends and family. He doesn't show emotion often other than cool unless he trusts a person. Secretly he longs for a family and works hard to keep his friends close enough to build thata family.

Fonzie has a signature slogan 'Ay-y-y-y-y' and any variation there of. He can fix literally anything with a slight tap. He loves to give a thumbs up as well to go along with the 'ayyy'.

He is a high school dropout, but later gets his diploma through night school. Fonzie is pro-integration. Even physically larger opponents backed down from Fonzie when confronted, and those who chose to face him never prevailed. Fonzie has a solid moral code, treating others with respect and sticking up for those who can't defend themselves.

He loves the Lone Ranger.

Fonzie's parents were Angela and Vito Fonzarelli. He once mentioned that his father had abandoned him when he was three years old, leaving him a strong box but no key. Fonzie’s father left the family to join the merchant marines. When Fonzie finally broke the box open (running over it with his tricycle) the only thing inside was the key.

Fonzie has a cousin nicknamed Spike, who looks up to Fonzie like an uncle. He appeared in Not With My Sister, You Don't, in which he went on a date with Joanie. Fonzie has another cousin named Chachi (Scott Baio) who dated and later married Joanie. In a later episode Fonzie's half brother, named Arthur (Artie), visits to tell him that their father died, and had left Fonzie a broken pocket watch. Near the end of the series, Fonzie adopted a young orphan boy named Danny Corrigan, Jr., completing his transformation from rebel to family man.

Women flock to him when he snaps his fingers. Few women turn him down and very rarely do they make him nervous.

Fonzie began a long-term relationship with a single mother (Linda Purl), but it didn't last. During the series, Fonzie never married, although in season 2 he nearly did (Fonzie's Getting Married), but Richie and Howard found out that Fonzie's fiancée worked as a stripper and was keeping it a secret from him.
