James MacDonald

James MacDonald is a character from the Arthur books and cartoon series who attended Elwood Community Preschool, and later Lakewood Elementary School, with D.W.. They are also friends, and D.W. was implied to have a crush on him.
He has an older sister named Molly who went to Lakewood Elementary School and was a member of the Tough Customers in the fourth grade. Unlike her, James has a very kind, caring, and timid personality, which made him an easy target for mean kids like the Tibble twins.
==History==
(TBA)
==Physical appearance==
James is a light yellowish gray anthropomorphic rabbit with black bead eyes. He wears a very light pistachio shirt with dark grayish opal buttons, moderate cyan shorts held up by a dark turquoise belt with a light gray buckle, ankle-high, light grayish emerald green socks, and moderate tangelo shoes with dark tangelo laces and soles. In later episodes, he wears white socks. Finally, he wears square glasses with black frames.
In the book D.W. Flips! (which was his first appearance in the Arthur franchise), James's shirt was a darker green color, and he wore dark yellow polka dot shorts. His glasses were round instead of square.
==Personality==
James is very kind and caring, but also very timid and shy, which makes him an easy target for mean, rambunctious kids like the Tibble twins. He looks up to his older sister, Molly.
However, despite his timid and kind nature, James has displayed a meaner side to his personality on two specific occasions:
*In "The Last King of Lambland," he goes mad with power after receiving a stuffed lamb (which he believes grants him the magic powers of an ancient Scottish king due to a legend) from his uncle and starts treating his classmates like servants. However, when Molly tells him that the legend is not real and that the king in the legend was not just powerful but also kind, he reverts to his usual personality.
*In "The Last Tough Customer," he starts mimicking Molly's bullying ways and shoves Amanda out of his way to drink from a water fountain. When confronted by Molly about this, he explains to her that he did it because that's what she would have done. Molly then explains to him that although she is a bully too, acting that way is not okay, which convinces James to stop, and James asks Molly if she's going to stop her bullying ways, leading to her redemption.
==Trivia==
*James's character is very similar to Carl Wheezer from Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Butters Stotch from South Park, and Jimmy from Ed, Edd n Eddy. In the latter case, James was even originally going to be named Jimmy.
*He is descended from an ancient Scottish clan, as revealed in "The Last King of Lambland."
*James is one of the many characters who does not appear in the flash-forward to twenty years into the future at the end of the series' finale episode, "All Grown Up." As such, nothing is known about his adult life.
