Line 16:
* [[Almost Kiss]]: With Penny, several times.
* [[Ambidextrous Sprite]]: He always has three whiskers on one side and two on the other, but the pattern tends to flip as a result of this.
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling|Annoying Older Sibling]]: ToInverted; he annoys his younger sister, Anais, most of the time.
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: When he's forced in a dress.
* [[Bad Liar]]:
Line 51:
* [[Keet]]
* [[No Sense of Direction]]: He think he can somehow memorize a map ''after eating it'' and when the wind is directly speaking to him in plainly decipherable language he does the exact opposite of what it tells him.
* [[Official Couple]]: {{spoiler|With Penny as of "The Shell."}}
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Following Season 2, this is his main characterization, though he still catches the [[Idiot Ball]] from time to time.
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]: Blue Boy to Anais's Pink Girl.
Line 97 ⟶ 98:
* [[Morality Pet]]: He has a higher moral sense than Gumball does.
* [[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]]
Line 292 ⟶ 294:
* [[The Hedonist]]: It's been so long since she's been able to do things like eating, that when she has a body, she'll immediately starting [[Big Eater|binge-eating]] [[Extreme Omnivore|absolutely anything]] (except, apparently, pickles).
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: When Darwin kissed her in "Halloween".
* [[Official Couple]]: {{spoiler|With Darwin as of "The Matchmaker".}}
* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]: Much like Gumball's whiskers, subject to [[Fashionable Asymmetry]] and [[Ambidextrous Sprite]].
Line 378 ⟶ 381:
* [[Nice Girl]]: Popular, cheerleader, and sweet as can be.
* [[Not So Above It All]]: The end of "The Flower" implies she's capable of the same illogical jealously that Gumball had been going through.
* [[Official Couple]]: {{spoiler|With Gumball as of "The Shell.}}
* [[Smitten Teenage Girl|Smitten Tweenage Girl]]
 
Line 518 ⟶ 522:
A tall, fluffy creature who is the counselor of Elmore Junior High. He is interested in New Age culture and possesses hippie-like qualities in terms of appearance and behavior. Mr. Small's strange and unorthodox teaching methods are usually more confusing to the children than helpful, and most of the kids leave his office confused and not any better, if not worse from the time they entered. With this, many Elmore Junior High students are left wondering why he still has his job. Like other characters, Mr. Small is afraid of Tina Rex. He is also shown to have violent mood swings, which could possibly be attributed to bipolar disorder.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

* [[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.

* [[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.
