Purple (Animator vs. Animation)

Purple is the secondary antagonist of the Animation vs. Minecraft series, serving as the secondary antagonist of the AvM Shorts. Outside of this, he has also appeared as the main antagonist of Animation vs. League of Legends and a supporting protagonist in the Actual Shorts.
A stick figure who constantly switches side whenever it benefits him, Purple's true goal is to find and impress his father by proving himself to be the powerful fighter that he wanted him to be. This lead to him frequently befriending and then betraying the Stick Gang whenever it suits him, although he felt remorse for it and was convinced by Green to redeem himself for good and stay on the side of heroism. He is the former archenemy of Green and right hand man-turned-surrogate/possibly adoptive son of King Orange.
==Appearance==
Purple is a purple solid-headed stick figure of average height. He used to wear a crown while ruling over villagers until they dethroned him for almost destroying their village.
==Personality==
Despite his countless flaws, Purple is, at his core, a good person who just fell victim to his insecurities and loneliness. It's shown that he has a deep desire to impress Dark Blue despite the abuse he suffered at his hands and took care of Pink until she died, after which he wanted to find his remaining parent. This caused him to do several things which, in his mind, would show his father that he was powerful; ruling over people like a king, or claiming prized objects like the Dragon Egg or the Master Block. This went as far as knowingly supporting King Orange in what's heavily implied to be full-on omnicide, most likely due to the belief holding such power would show Dark Blue that his son is tough.
However, Purple holds great remorse for his actions and acknowledges himself as a monster, breaking down in tears after telling Green his life story. After redeeming himself and deciding to save the Nether from King Orange, he claimed himself to be a hero despite Green insisting that he's neither good nor evil, showing a desire to make up for past mistakes. It's shown that Purple is truly a cheerful, childish, but ultimately kind person who's excited to spend time with people and wants to have friends.
==Trivia==
*Purple's tragic backstory was first foreshadowed by series creator Alan Becker when he claimed Purple had a rough childhood.
*It's still unknown just what Purple's card in the official card game meant. The most likely option is that Purple's backstory changed somewhere before the release of "Note Block Universe", with him being originally meant to be a black stick figure before he was retconned into being purple since birth.
*While never explicitly stated, it's heavily implied Purple was adopted by King Orange following "The King" as they are seen hanging out together, they already see each other as family (and essentially replacements for their abusive father/dead son), and Purple was seen living in King Orange's house in "Cherry Blossoms".
