Butters Stotch

Leopold Stotch, also known as Boy with Balls on his Chin, Butters Stotch, Mantequilla, Marjorine, Mr. Biggles, Paladin Butters, Professor Chaos and Triceratops, is one of the main characters from the South Park series.
== Charactah Account ==
One of the fourth graders at South Park Elementary, Butters is the typical butt-monkey and laughingstock among his peers. He is the sweet, good-natured, innocent, sensitive, effeminate and idealistic little boy of the school, if a bit socially awkward. His reputation makes him a frequent target for harassment, bullying, manipulation and exploitation by the more mature and foul-mouthed boys — especially Cartman — in addition to being the only child of his two abusive parents, Stephen and Linda. Despite his regular humiliations, Butters can still grow a spine at the most unexpected of moments.
Butters has a warm personality that everyone finds comforting. Fans consider him one of the sweetest, most innocent, and most gullible characters on the show. He is unique because he has the personality of a child, in contrast to the other more cynical, adult-like kids. He is generally much nicer and much more naive than the four main characters, although he and Craig are shown bullying Mark Cotswolds, a home-schooled boy, in "Hooked on Monkey Fonics", while it is worth noting that it was before the major character development of Butters in the show.
The kids are often annoyed with Butters because he is not cruel, cold, gross, confident enough "like a normal little boy", as well as the fact that he is a "pussy". He is also vulnerable to being taken advantage of, and the boys often use him for self-defense when they are in very sticky situations, such as in "Cartman Joins NAMBLA", when they make Butters go get raped by the NAMBLA members to save them. However, Butters is saved from getting raped when Stuart McCormick is confused by the pedophiles as one of the young boys.

== Trivia ==
* In "AWESOM-O", it is revealed that Butter's birthday is September 11, a fact not disclosed until just over two and a half years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Cartman did not use this information against Butters in "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce".
* Butters was originally named "Puff Puff" and "Swanson".
** Despite this, Butter was not a named character in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut; the eight draft of the script just referred to him as "small boy".
* In "Damien", Butter was shown as a bully who tortured Pip with the other children.
* Butters is friends with Pip and Dougie.
* According to "Cartman Sucks", Butters' blood type is O.
* Butters is shown as left-handed in "AWESOM-O", but in "My Future Self n' Me" and "Quest for Ratings" as well as most of the recent episodes he is shown as right-handed. This is either a continuity error or Butters is ambidextrous.
* During some DVD commentaries, Matt Stone and Trey Parker mention that Butters is one of their "top 3 favorite characters".
* In the South Park Season 6 intro until he was kicked out as the fourth friend, Butters is seen holding a sign saying "The Butters Show" over the South Park sign. After being kicked out, he is shown as Professor Chaos, knocking the sign down before laughing inaudibly.
* Butters has a phenomenal imagination and it was put to use to re-imagine "Imaginationland" back to the way it was before the terrorists invaded.
* Butter plays left field on the South Park little league baseball team. His dad is also the coach/manager.
* Butters seems to be competent with firearms, as shown in "Fun with Veal" using a G36 Rifle, but in "The China Probrem" he could not he even handle a Glock 17 and is not as competent.
* Butters' moniker evolved from "little buddy", Matt Stone and Trey Parker's nickname for South Parks animation director and producer Eric Stough.
* Butters is shown to be very fair when it comes to business, as seen in "Butters' Bottom Bitch", where he shares the earnings with the girls in the "kissing company".
* In "Sarcastaball", it is shown in a dream Butter has crushes on Wendy and Red.
* Butters once had a girlfriend from Michigan named "Carrie", as shown in "Toilet Paper".
