ICarly/Characters: Difference between revisions

== Carly Shay ==

[[File:icarly_cs_1724.jpg|frame]]

 

The [[The Protagonist|central protagonist]] and [[Straight Man]] to the constant shenanigans surrounding her, Carly is a relatively normal highschooler. At least, as normal as you ''can'' be when you're an Internet celebrity in a [[Dan Schneider]] TV series.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Season 5 tends to have her deliver an [[Actor Allusion]] line that doubles as [[Take That Me]].

** A potshot on Miranda still not having her driver's license.

* [[The Chick]]

* [[Dude Magnet]]: It seems almost all the guys want Carly. Almost.

== Samantha "Sam" Puckett ==

[[File:icarly_sp_1939.jpg|frame]]

 

Carly's best friend and petite blonde co-host of the iCarly webshow. In this [[Power Trio]], Sam very definitely takes on the "Brawn" side: she's aggressive, violent and eats everything. She has a very tenuous relationship with her mom, who was S[[He Who Must Not Be Seen]] until finally introduced in Season 4, played by none other than [[Glee|Jane Lynch]].

== Fredward "Freddie" Benson ==

[[File:icarly_fb_8413.jpg|frame]]

 

The cameraman and general tech-support guy for iCarly, as well as Carly's other best friend. He is an all-around nice guy, along with growing up under the wing of his [[My Beloved Smother|overbearing mother]] Marissa Benson.

== Spencer Shay ==

[[File:icarly_ss_7890.jpg|frame]]

 

Carly's quirky older brother and legal guardian, as their parents are off [[Parental Abandonment|doing Godknowswhat]] (Mr. Shay is explicitly in the armed forces, but that's all that's been said). He is a sculptor of some sort, but easily out-wacky-hijinxes the younger characters despite his more-advanced age.

== Orenthal "Gibby" Cornelius Gibson ==

[[File:icarly_gg_7179.jpg|frame]]

 

Appearing as a minor character when the series began, Gibby is among the main trio's friend and schoolmate and a frequent [[Butt Monkey]] guest in the webshow. As the show progressed, [[Characterization Marches On|he was slowly developed]] to be one of the gang's most loyal friends and a usual sidekick to Carly's eccentric big brother Spencer.
