Characters from ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]'' include:
== The Wattersons ==
=== Gumball Watterson ===
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
▲{{quote|The main character (as indicated by the title). Gumball is a talking blue cat in middle school. A mischief maker and somewhat lazy, the show revolves around his various mishaps around Elmore. Tends to have questionable morals at times and can be a little selfish as well.}}
* [[Accidental Kiss]]: With {{spoiler|Darwin}} in "The Pressure".
** With Granny Jojo in "The Kiss".
Line 14 ⟶ 16:
* [[Almost Kiss]]: With Penny, several times.

* [[Cute Kitten]]
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: He is a cat.
* [[Demonic Possession]]: In "The Ghost" by Carrie, and in "The Flower" by a jealousy ghost.
* [[Depending on the Writer]]: His level of intelligence varies from episode. Sometimes he's a complete idiot, sometimes he's just mischievous, sometimes he just acts like a dork, sometimes he's the [[Only Sane Man]]...
Line 36 ⟶ 39:
* [[Determinator]]: In "The Third", he rides a tricycle for 140 kilometers, flies down a hill so fast he catches on fire, and gets covered in quick drying cement (which he promptly breaks through) just to prove that he and Darwin are still friends.
** He's determined to repay his debt to Mr. Robinson for "saving his life" (which he just stopped his car because Gumball thought he was gonna get "run over").
* [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]: "The Club" reveals that his middle name is Trisha, short for Tristopher—it was supposed to be Christopher, but Richard wrote it down wrong.
* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: "The Meddler" has his mom calling him "Gummypuss".
Line 42 ⟶ 44:
* [[First Kiss]]: {{spoiler|With ''Carmen'' of all people, though subverted as she says it's more of a headbutt than a kiss.}}
* [[Flanderization]]: Season 2 really ups his negative qualities, like his selfishness and sarcasm.
* [[Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling]] Gumball and Darwin are the Foolish Siblings to Anais Responsible Sibling.
* [[Genius Ditz]]: He gets a little smarter later on in the second season, though.
* [[Hartman Hips]]: A rare male example. Clearly, he gets it from his mom.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: He seems to be prone to these.

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: While

* [[The Protagonist]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Gumball is the fun-loving, mischievous and passionate Red Oni to Darwin's naïve, friendly, and sympathetic Blue Oni.

* [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: ''Several'' somebodies.
* [[Official Couple]]: {{spoiler|With Carrie, as of "The Matchmaker."}}
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Though not necessarily the smartest person in any episode he's in, he's traded off on the role of "the only person being objective while everything's going nuts" with Anais on occasion, and has started playing the [[Straight Man]] to Gumball's antics more. Gumball basically says in "The Sidekick" that his role in their dynamic is to stop him from doing really crazy things.
** [[The Cuckoolander Was Right]]
* [[Overly Long Name]]: In "The Party", he reveals that his full name is Darwin Radlin Caspian Ahab Poseidon Nicodemus Watterson III.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Darwin is the naïve, friendly, and sympathetic Blue Oni to Gumball's fun-loving, mischievous and passionate Red Oni.
* [[Sarcasm Blind]]: In season 1. In season 2, he snarks with the best of them.
* [[Speech Impediment]]: In "The Sock", Gumball points out that Darwin has a lisp where gills whistle. Darwin retorts with "You're so stinky, sailors sing sea shanties about how stinky you are!" making a whistling sound with every 'S'. This only happens for that one and only time, though.

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

Line 280 ⟶ 299:

=== Sussie ===
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

* [[Cartoon Creature]]
Line 367 ⟶ 401:
=== Teri ===
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Everything's Worse with Bears]]: Not the case even if she wanted it to be, as she has about the strength you'd expect out of a crumpled piece of paper.
* [[Face Doodling]]: Does this to herself at times when necessary (e.g. "The Virus", where she draws tears under her eyes to represent crying, and later draws a surgical mask over her mouth). Her paper body gives her the capability of erasing face doodles quite easily.
Line 375 ⟶ 410:
=== Tina Rex ===
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Art Evolution]]: In Season 1, she originally had a cartoon-like design similar to the old T-Rex depictions. In Season 2, she is given a more realistic design similar to modern T-Rex depictions.

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|From Season 4 onward}}.
* [[Evil
* [[
* [[Only One Name]]: His last name is never mentioned in-series.
* [[Ret-Gone]]: [[Played for Drama]]. {{spoiler|Like Molly, he was sentenced to the Void because the universe deemed him a mistake. Gumball and Darwin were so focused on rescuing Molly that they didn't even notice that he was also there. He was able to cling to Mr. Small's van, Janice, to escape from the Void, but as a consequence, his body had become disfigured and polygonal. This whole ordeal is what lead to Rob becoming Gumball's [[Arch Enemy]]}}.
* [[Walking Spoiler]]: Let's just say that if you knew more about him, you would be spoiling the ''heck'' out of his character arc in Season 4 and onward.

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: If he tries to propose to his girlfriend Karen, expect something to ruin it for him.
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: Goes through one at the hands of Gumball and Darwin of all people, but he gets better.
* [[That Man Is Dead]]: He used to be the laziest guy in all of Elmore and was given the nickname "Lazy Larry." He gave up his lazy lifestyle after Richard proved to be even lazier than him during the Summer of '83 (though what''exactly'' happened and how [[Noodle Incident|is never elaborated upon]]).

=== Mr. Steve Small ===
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Ambiguously Bi]]/[[Ambiguously Gay]]: In "The Night," he is shown to have a rainbow flag on the headboard of his bed, and he is more than happy to marry Larry ([[It Makes Sense in Context|who was actually trying to propose to his girlfriend, Karen]]) in "The Shippening."<ref>It should be worth noting, however, that this only happened because Sarah was unknowingly making her in-universe [[Shipping|shipping]] fanfics real by writing in a mysterious golden notebook.</ref> On the other hand, in "The Wish," he mentions that he has tried to date women online. Whatever the case, he definitely doesn't seem to be straight.

* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: His short rant/speech in "The Meddler".
* [[Hippie Teacher|Hippie Counselor]]:
▲* [[Flanderization]]: Later episodes ignore his [[Jerkass]] qualities in favor of making him a possible stoner and conspiracy theorist who is in love with a van.

* [[Large Ham]]:
{{quote|"Don't hate me because I'm ''beautiful!''"}}

* [[Straw Vegetarian]]: In "The Castle", he states he's only a vegetarian for the feeling of superiority. “The Potato” shows he is still secretly addicted to meat.
* [[The Stoner]]: A G-rated version. In one episode, he drinks a strange kind of [[G-Rated Drug|herbal tea]] that basically makes him high.
* [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: In Season 1, he had a bit of a temper and would sometimes lash out at students. Starting with Season 2, while he still has some [[Jerkass]] moments, he's a lot nicer and more laid back.
* [[Tuckerization]]: Named after a friend of the show's creator that also works in animation—the same one that made his character design, in fact.
* [[Unmoving Pattern]]: His shirt.

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

* [[Fan Disservice]]: What her body shows.
* [[It's All About Me]]: Her mug even says, "I Love Myself".

** And yet she has also shown to not be COMPLETELY heartless as she {{spoiler|gave up her attempts to frame or catch Gumball and Darwin when they attempted to ACTUALLY get in trouble to save her dignity, her job and her relationship, and even attempted to clean up the mess they made to keep them out of trouble. Even when Darwin COMPLETELY milks the fact that she's actually saying sorry for her behavior, she just chuckles. It's a surprisingly sweet moment for such a mean character.}}

* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]
