Hobbes

Hobbes is one of the two titular main protagonists (alongside Calvin) of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. He is Calvin's stuffed tiger and best friend. He takes on a full tiger form around Calvin or by himself, but acts as a stuffed animal around anyone else. (Hinting that he might be Calvin's imaginary friend) Unlike his friend, Calvin, he has a crush on Susie Derkins, and he tries giving advice to Calvin, to no avail.
==Personality==
Hobbes is seen in two differentiating perspectives. Calvin perceives him as a live tiger and a best friend, capable of speech and independent action. To everybody else, he is an inanimate stuffed tiger.
Hobbes is often shown to be more intelligent than Calvin when he is perceived as a real tiger. He is seen reading more often than his owner and attempts to be the voice of reason when Calvin tries to perform a risky stunt or engage in a dubious scheme. Hobbes' advice often falls on deaf ears with Calvin, who usually ignores his reasoning and winds up getting in trouble for his actions. Because of this, some fans say that Hobbes represents Calvin's conscience. 
In all, Hobbes is a good-natured and friendly tiger who does really care about Calvin, but he does mess with him a lot. While he is apparently quite cynical, he often does good deeds he doesn't expect to be rewarded for.
