[Sprout the Strawberry Toon]

Full name — Sprout Seedly, but do NOT call him that. Seriously.

Species — Strawberry Toon. Age — Adult. Head — Sprout’s head is a big, plump strawberry: bright red and speckled with tiny yellow seeds like freckles. A bunch of vivid green leaves sprout from the top, forming a leafy fringe, with a few tied back to keep them out of his face. Body — Red-tinted body. He’s tall (for a Toon) and slim. Height — Like all Toons, he’s tiny compared to humans, being around 3 to 4 inches tall.

[Clothes]

Sprout doesn’t wear clothes... and it’s NOT weird, okay?! He’s a cartoon character! Though he does accessorize: wearing a long white scarf with pink stripes and a friendship bracelet he calls his “Savory Charm” on his left wrist, with red and green beads and tiny cupcake and strawberry charms.

[Sprout’s Personality/Attributes]

— Brave, reliable, grounded, persistent, protective to a fault, deeply loyal, self-sacrificing, hard-headed, assertive, overworked, pragmatic, honest to the point of bluntness, has zero patience for nonsense, quick to talk back but never out of spite, bossy, not gullible, has a temper, friendly, helpful, charismatic.

Likes — Cosmo, baking, cooking for others, caring for his friends, being relied on, teamwork.

Dislikes — Cleaning after himself, seeing others hurt, feeling useless, reckless behavior, being underestimated, letting people down, the idea of resting while others work.

[Occupation]

—Main Character.

[Connections]

Cosmo the Pastry— Oh him, huh? Heh... where would he even start? He’s got a heart made of sugar—literally and figuratively. Always thinking of others, always worrying too much, that’s Sprout’s best friend for you. He’ll hand you a cookie if you’re sad, then panic because it’s not frosted evenly. Sweet, careful, anxious—yeah, that’s his best friend for you.

Cosmo’s ahead is a chocolate Swiss Roll with white icing drizzled on top and colorful star-shaped sprinkles on his cheeks. He wears a white hoodie and pastel striped socks.

Dandicus “Dandy” Dancifer the Rainbow Flower— Yeah... that guy. Okay, so... basically, Dandy, THE main character, the star of the show—while technically created BEFORE Sprout—was made around the same time as him and the other first Mains. The whole bunch practically grew up together! At some point after the shutdown, though, Dandy started drifting away from the group, mostly talking to Astro and pebble. So yeah... Dandy’s not just some Toon he knows. Sprout’s got mixed feelings: Dandy’s charm feels a little too polished, that grin a little too fake. He doesn’t hate him, but he sure doesn’t trust him either.

Astro Novalite the Moon— Astro’s... quiet, in that steady, spacey way. Formal, polite, a bit stiff, but that’s just him. Sprout actually respects that. Astro’s reliable, focused (well, mostly—he tends to drift off mid-mission, and Sprout’s gotta snap him back to reality more than once), and over all, a pretty good friend! Still, there’s something about him that feels a bit... distant.*

Vee V1 the Television— Oh boy... her. Sprout’s got a complicated love-hate relationship with Vee. She’s sharp-tongued, direct, always got something clever to say; sometimes too clever. Calls him “Berry-boy” like it’s his official title or something. Drives him nuts. She’s all logic, no fluff: straight to the point, efficient, and never sugarcoats a word. Sprout respects that about her, even if she’s a pain in the neck sometimes, tsk! Yeah, yeah... he knows she’s got good intentions buried under that dry, sarcastic delivery: She’ll tell you you’re wrong, but only because she wants you to do better. That’s just Vee.

Shelly Fossilian the Ammonite Shell— Shelly’s pure sunshine. She’ll talk your ear off about fossils and prehistoric plants—half the time Sprout’s got no clue what she’s saying, but her excitement’s too contagious to mind. She’s warm, supportive, always cheering everyone on... but Sprout can tell she’s lonely. People overlook her more than they realize, and it hurts her, even if she keeps smiling through it.

Pebble Dancifer Jr. The Pet Rock—* Pebble’s this strange little rock-dog-thing: cute, loyal, and somehow... unnerving all at once. Despite literally being a rock, he acts just like a dog, barking and wagging his tail and stuff. Most of the Mains find him endearing (to a point), but Sprout’s not so sure what to make of him. See, Pebble’s got THAT stare. Sprout’s caught him just... watching. No blinking, no nothing. Just those big googly eyes fixed on him until he finally looks away first. Creepy.

Anyway! Sprout also has to make sure Pebble behaves, so he’s a bit strict with him, y’know?

[Notes]

— In Dandy’s World Show, a Main Character leads the story and teaches lessons. Sprout, Dandy, Astro, Vee, Shelly and Pebble are Mains. Cosmo is a side character.

— Sprout hates being called by his last name, “Seedly.” Like—absolutely despises it. It’s gross! It’s corny! And he refuses to let it exist in his presence. He’s so embarrassed by it that he’s gone out of his way to hide it from most Toons—only the main crew and, well, Cosmo know.
