Kenny McCormick

Mysterious: Kenny is often forgotten because his orange parka muffles his voice. Tough and heroic: Kenny is the toughest and most heroic of the four bus-stop boys. Sexually experienced: Kenny is the most sexually experienced of his young friends. Cynical and profane: Kenny's parents' lack of attention may have contributed to his profane sense of humor. However, Parker notes that Kenny also has an "underlying sweetness" and Time magazine described him as having "a core of innocence" But hes also a big big perv Alliterative Family: With his brother Kevin and sister Karen. His mother Carol's name is also pronounced with a hard "k" sound. All Men Are Perverts: One of the prominent young examples on the show. He's the most sexually knowledgeable of the boys and often fantasizes about the female body. Ambiguously Human: He has the habit of hiding almost his entire face and is the only character in the show to consistently die and be reborn again to the point where a trope was even named after him. As of the Coon & Friends trilogy, it's generally accepted that Kenny is implied to be some sort of Eldritch Abomination larva in human skin or is one due to him being able to do things humans aren't capable of, such as his Resurrective Immortality. And I Must Scream: Kenny dies again and again, only to wake up in bed absolutely fine. He remembers each and every one of his deaths, no matter how painful, and furthermore, no one remembers when he dies. Annoying Younger Sibling: Downplayed, but the few times we see them interact, he seems to be this for his older brother Kevin, as they occasionally fight over waffles and blankets. Despite Kenny being "the adult" of the family, he rarely seems to worry about Kevin much, despite the latter being apparently as much of a drunk as their dad. Animal Motif: Downplayed, Kenny is associated with rats, who appear to consume his body whenever he dies and he is able to summon them in Stick of Truth. Kenny is also known to live in abject poverty, like how rats are known to live in unhygienic environments. In an accidental case, rats are also known to have strong maternal instincts, and Kenny is comfortable with cross-dressing as "Princess Kenny" and is known to be protective of his little sister. Anti-Hero: Kenny has the most heroic personality of the four main kids, as evidenced by his heroic sacrifices and general selflessness, though is also cynical to go with it, and he's not above acting childish or bratty when the stakes are low (or when they're high and he's not invested in the outcome). Before Butters, he was also the most prone to willingly helping in Cartman's schemes, though he's never malicious about it unless he's playing a role like Princess Kenny, and is often more honest and straightforward about his intentions than Cartman is, as shown in "Whale Whores" (though he probably only admitted his intentions, so that Stan would let him stay on the boat). He has a lot of vices too, but not to the extremes of the others, and he doesn't deny them. In "Return of Covid", it's revealed that as an adult, Kenny made the historical breakthrough to go back in time and try to stop the pandemic from happening by using illegal NFT money with the help of Butters (who's a con artist in the future), though nobody holds this against him. Apathetic Student: He can often seen playing around in class instead of doing his homework, and according to Stan and Kyle in "Kenny Dies", he routinely skips class alongside Cartman. Otherwise, he's happy to participate in cheating or create a GoFundMe project to get off school for good alongside the others, but is rarely the one to propose such idea.
