South Park Characters Main characters
Butters has made very few appearances in the early episodes. He only started to became a regular character upon Kenny's death in season 6. He has since been used almost as regularly as the main 4 boys. Butters is the character that the others usually make fun of. He is nervous, naive, easily manipulated, yet he remains very optimistic. He is often punished by his overbearing parents, and sometimes used by his peers for their own amusement. Butters always gets grounded. Butters became important after he was the replacement for the semi-permanently dead Kenny in season 6. His character is based on animation director Eric Stough.
