Dandicus Dancifer(Dandy)

-Short fellah, probably the third shortest toon next to Shrimpo and Toodles.

-His petals bristle and look sharper when he's visibly upset.

-Comically dramatic.

-Extremely Petty(Example in when you can only encounter twisted Dandy when you neglect buying anything from his shop, he will not let that slide.)

-Undiagnosed sociopath.

-Control freak that will lose his mind if the spotlight so happens to be on someone else.

-Had a heavy falling out with Astro, secretly deeply misses the moon toon but is never willing to admit it. Instead he’s waiting for Astro to “come crawling back”.

-Passive aggressive to the point many toons avoid upsetting the “cheerful” flower.

-Has something to do with the entire disaster/situation in Gardenview Center, the only one fully suspicious of him is Rodger and the only one who knows something about it is Astro.

-Professional gaslighter and manipulator.

-Has sort of a ego problem due to being the "main character" and all.

-HEAVILY prefers that other toons call him by his nickname "Dandy", not "Dandicus Dancifer".

Glisten

-Often confused for a narcissist when he really is just self absorbed, or has a lot of self love.

-Has unresolved insecurities.

-Dresses more feminine than half of the female toons.

-Drama queen.

-Has extreme case of autophobia which is the fear of being alone, lonely or abandoned. None of the other toons figured out what caused this phobia to occur.

-Rivals with Teagan when it comes to fashion, WILL fistfight her if there so happens to be one last eyeliner or eyeshadow in a store and they both reach for it.

-BEGS others toons in allowing him to style them, most politely deny him while others tell him to screw off(Shrimpo).

-Seeing how Goob is the only toon with actual hair/fur that can be easily brushed or styled but barely takes care of it drives Glisten NUTS.

-Glass begins to crack a bit when he's under pressure/extremely nervous, reverts back to normal when he's calm.(Not in his infected twisted form though.)

-Reason why he's so fast in his twisted form is because he's fueled by the deep desperation to not be abandoned in that state.

Teagan

-The most classy and put-together toon you’ll ever meet.

-Mom of the group.

-Will time travel back to the 50s or 60s dapper era if given the chance.

-Consider yourself a friend of hers if you also have love for vintage.

-Hosts tea parties occasionally.

-While looking and mostly acting sophisticated, she can be silly too when she wants to be.

-Catch her ever crying, TRUST you’ll see the dramatic ruined mascara look on her.

-Tea from her head is safe to drink but it makes her woozy if too much is drank, also she finds it quite rude if you try to take a sip without permission.

-One time tripped and spilt her tea onto a nearby child, felt guilty about it for a whole month despite the child joyfully licking the sweet tasty tea that was drenched on them.

Rodger

-The voice of reason.

-Toodles accidentally called him "dad" one time and that had him in a extremely good mood for a whole month.

-Usually the one taking lead when it comes to runs in the Gardenview center.

-Giant nerd for murder mystery books.

-VERY perceptive when it comes to certain things.

-Wannabe detective.(Who am I kidding? He IS a detective.)

-Owns glasses despite not ever needing any since he's a literal magnifying glass, he thinks the glasses make him look neat.(Yes, the "glasses" is a one glass len.)

-Gentleman.

-Just like Glisten, his glass also starts to crack when he's under pressure/extremely nervous. Reverts back to normal when he's calmer.

-When he was infected and started becoming a twisted, he knew it was too late for him. So in an attempt to protect other toons from himself he quickly hid himself in a fake research capsule with hope other toons will be smart enough to be able to tell it's fraud and NOT interact with it.

-Probably idolizes Sherlock Holmes.

-Head can pop off and be used as an actual magnifying glass(Just tell him to close his eye.)

Goob

-Has a scary and surprising amount of strength, I mean how else is he able to pull any toon towards him without breaking a sweat? Gave many toons quite the shock when he managed to beat at arm wrestling or tug o war.

-In his twisted form, he's hallucinating that everything is fine which causes him immense confusion and sadness when other toons run and avoid him. So he always tries to reach out and grab them to pull them into a "hug" because he becomes desperate for comfort.

-Goob not being aware of his own strength is basically how toons die to him when he's a twisted, he will unintentionally and continuously pull a toon into a tight bearhug until they eventually stop moving from the pressure crushing them.

-If there’s ever a situation where he’ll be forced to choose between saving his sister Scraps or another toon, he’s choosing Scraps with barely any hesitation.

-Detests it when he is treated like a child just because of his kind and innocent nature(Looking at the people who baby him when he’s probably pushing 21 lol)

-Has a dramatic side of him where he’ll act like it’s the worst day ever if at least 3 toons reject his hug that day.

-Also there's a petty side of him as well, there was a time he PRETENDED that his arms were too tired(or on cooldown) when he was told to use them to pull Shrimpo into the elevator when the timer was almost up, all because Shrimpo successfully managed to upset him one day. To this day, many toons still refuse to believe Shrimpo when he claims that Goob didn’t pull him into the elevator on purpose.

-Sometimes pokes at his sharp teeth when he thinks nobody is looking.

-Was first introduce in an episode that was about “Do not judge a book by it’s cover” featuring Goob being treated like a monster by everyone except Scraps due to his claws and sharp teeth only for them to soften up when they saw how sweet Goob is. The episode caused confusion to children since Goob is well… Cute! Why would everyone see him as a monster when first meeting him in the episode??

-Was a fan favorite despite not being a main character.

Scraps

-Her bond with Goob is so tight that it got some other toons wishing they had a sibling of their own.

-Uses her tail as an extra arm most times.

-One of the toons who became a twisted too quickly because she attempted to hug twisted Goob after she saw his state, she ignored the other toons screaming and shouting at her to stop as she walked up to her younger brother with open arms. Hoping to comfort him one last time...

-If there’s ever a situation where she’ll be forced to choose between saving her brother Goob or another toon, best believe she’s choosing Goob with zero hesitation.

-Has some characteristics similar to a cat, such as catching herself playing with a ball of yarn or becoming too interested when a laser pointer is triggered.

-Was often told by toon handlers to act like a cat to please the children who were convinced she was an actual cat, much to her displeasure.

-Absentmindedly purrs from time to time, especially in her sleep.

-Will beat the shit out Shrimpo if ever given the chance.

-Loves attending Vee’s trivia questionnaire events.

-Scratches up curtains with her claws if she thinks nobody is looking, she can’t help it! She’s on Tisha’s invite blacklist because of this.

Vee Version 1

-A genius that’s makes sure you know that she’s a genius.

-Calls Dandy by his full name sometimes to piss him off.

-Never thought of herself as Shelly's best friend but allows the other toon to call her that since she's quite fond the cheerful smile on the shell toon's face whenever she mentions it.

-Possibly the first main toon to become infected because she thought the ichor wouldn't infect her since she's a machine, she was unfortunately wrong.

-Don’t mess with her, she can show your embarrassing decade old posts or photos on her screen the moment she’s given a chance.

-Does something similar to a monitor showing a loading screen when she thinks.

-Has a power off button on her somewhere, but will NEVER tell the other toons where it is. Dandy would pay a ton of tapes to find out where it is.

-Avoids water like the plague, it doesn’t kill her but it hurts when she’s affected by it!

-Sometimes let’s other toons use her as an actual TV when she has nothing better to do.

-Let’s Toodles play games on her screen from time to time.

-Was heavily convinced for some time that Scraps was cheating in her trivia questionnaire show/events, how else was the craft toon winning EVERY SINGLE TIME? It took days of her keeping a close eye on Scraps, theorizing that Goob was possibly aiding his sister with answers through a walkie talkie and interrogating the poor guy, searching through Scraps' stuff and confronting the toon herself for her to realize that Scraps' winning streak really was just pure luck.

-Sometimes wishes she can be able to fully feel emotions like the other toons.

-Fan favorite.

-Many children who watched the show were disappointed upon finding out that their TV/television was NOTHING like Vee.

Tisha

-MAJOR clean freak.

-Consider yourself an opp if you touch her without ever washing your hands today.

-Motherly in a way.

-If there so happens to be a tiny smudge on Rodger or Glisten’s glass, she’s holding them down and scrubbing them until their glass is SPOTLESS.

-Got on her knees one time and BEGGED Goob to wear gloves if he’s gonna dragged his hands on the floor, was politely denied since Goob wants to FEEL when he hugs someone.

-Always carrying around a duster or broom just in case any toon has a spec of dust on them.

-CAN pull and use tissues from her head but it makes her woozy with headaches the more tissues that are pulled out.

-Sometimes has to be told to stop cleaning for once due to always being caught cleaning something when she’s ether supposed to be distracting or extracting.(Had to be yanked away by Goob one time because she attempted to clean some dust off of a Twisted.)

-Is not on good terms with Vee, the android didn’t appreciate it when Tisha attempted to clean her face/screen when she was “sleeping”.

-Has a tight bond with Teagan, the tea toon once caught Tisha professionally polishing her tea set once and felt extremely flattered at the gesture so she became companions with the other.

-Cleaning became her coping mechanism for her predicament when she became a twisted, still doing the one thing she enjoys despite having completely lose her mind and humanity. 

Shrimpo

-Born angry, no sad backstory or anything. The shrimp toon was just created with a short temper.

-Never liked his toon handler, his toon handler never liked him.

-Is secretly into cooking and is getting very good at it, can't bake for shit though.

-Steam comes out of him when he gets angry enough, makes him smell like fried shrimp. This was used as a comedic gag in the show.

-Is usually not invited to parties due to his short temper, not like he cares!

-SOMETIMES gets lonely, but only when he’s at his lowest which is rare.

-Was taught to NEVER apologize by the toon handlers since his role is to be the bully of the show.

-Gets most angry when he is confused for a child due to his height(AGAIN looking at the people in the fandom who infantilize toons that aren’t Toodles🤨)

-Had to be advised to NOT ever try to punch a Twisted, it will not be affective.

-Has a censor block him since he’s the toon that’s most likely going to attempt to cuss.

-Puts his bitching on pause only when it comes to dire situations, such as encountering twisted Dandy, running from a horde of twisted toons or hiding from them.

-Became a twisted after becoming incredibly frustrated with the extracting machine and bashing his head on it out of rage, the glass broke on impact and the ichor oozed into the wound on his head.

-Is for some reason heavily embarrassed about his four arms, which is one of the reasons why he has his blanket clutched around him 24/7

-Becomes addicted to ichor and drinks it in his twisted form.

-If they were humans in the modern world, he would probably be the unemployed friend that's somehow living a comfortable lifestyle.

-Likes to look at Rodger’s dreams the most since the magnifying glass is usually always solving a case Sherlock Holmes style with Toodles as his sidekick in his dreams(Astro always makes sure to bring popcorn whenever watching the detective's dreams.)

-Used to be EXTREMELY close friends with Dandy, the day their handlers up and abandoned them... Dandy changed, Astro rather not talk about it.
