Gumball

Gumball Tristopher Watterson is the protagonist of The Amazing World of Gumball. He is a twelve-year-old, blue male cat that goes to Elmore Junior High, with his adopted brother Darwin and his four-year-old sister Anais. Gumball is in Miss Simian's class. Gumball is dating Penny.

Gumball is a light blue cat. On his oversized head, he has six whiskers, but only five are visible most of the time. He is wearing a white and red ringer shirt and dark grey shorts. Gumball lacks shoes, and the inside of his mouth is pink, his tongue is light pink, and his nose is orange.

Gumball is a very imaginative person. Despite his mediocre academic performance, he can be surprisingly brilliant when it comes to formulating all sorts of mischievous schemes. This side of him may suggest Gumball is smarter than he lets on, as hinted by his expansive vocabulary, cooking skills, and ukulele skills as well.

Gumball is also pretty optimistic. Despite his cynicism towards society itself, he is still fairly positive in what to expect out of people (though there are exceptions). When his family is financially suffering, he reminds them of the joys of family and pushes them to be more optimistic. He is quick to reject Clare's notion of "no happy ending," only wanting to see her have a happy ending (no matter how forced it was). He is also happy to help others, going great lengths to assist others.

In general, Gumball is very protective of his loved ones. On multiple occasions, he is quick to go into a sort of "over-protective" mode whenever anybody tries to hurt his siblings, Darwin and Anais, in which he tried to nearly poison Jodie when he thought she was hurting Anais, or when he aimlessly tried to attack Rob out of rage when Darwin temporarily died.

Gumball has a very sarcastic nature. He is quick to diffuse all sorts of quips towards others, ranging from fairly harmless to sometimes blunt and rude. These snarky comments are impulsive.

Gumball also has a fairly massive ego, which seems to be a fault of his. When not tamed properly, his ego can drive him to do some pretty jerky things. Darwin tapping into his musical talents causes Gumball to have short-lived jealousy towards him before he realizes he is wrong. His ego also explains his relationship with Alan; the fact that Alan is so effortlessly loved drives Gumball to expose him for being scummier than he lets on (which later turns out to be accurate). This ego also makes him very sensitive, in which he becomes an emotional wreck when he is told his cheerleading performance was terrible.

He does not do well under interrogation or pressure. If tormented, he will panic and freak out. He may try to put on a brave face, but he can't handle much before breaking down. He does not derive pleasure from being tortured unless it's from Penny, his girlfriend.
