Tubbo (Dream SMP: The Movie Character)

Tubbo is one of the 2 main protagonists of the 2022 film, Dream SMP: The Movie.
== Background ==
=== Development ===
Tubbo was originally going to be of Asian descent (specifically Chinese). But this was scrapped in order to model the character after this actor to make him Caucasian. His character is inspired by Hiro Hamada from Big Hero 6. Along with being modelled after his actor, he was originally going to have ram/goat horns like Jschlatt and Captain Puffy. This was also scrapped due to Tubbo's amount of screentime and the horns being hard to animate due to the film being hand-drawn. As requested by his actor, Tubbo, his character is dyslexic. Tubbo also has a solo in the film which is 'Gone Away' by CG5, sung after his execution during the first film. In the second film, the song had a reprise after the Doomsday war. It is inspired by the song, 'I'm Still Here' from Treasure Planet.
=== Personality ===
Tubbo has the typical character development in many known films with child/teenage leads. During the beginning of the film, he was optimistic, scatterbrained and naive. As well as immature. But as he gets older and becomes president, he starts to mature more. But at some point, not in a good way. He starts to go through depressive episodes and PTSD. Even though various characters have helped him like Quackity, Fundy, Sapnap and Ranboo. Although he slightly goes back to his joyful self in sequels, he still has depressive episodes and occasional nightmares from PTSD.
=== Physical Appearance ===
Tubbo is a 15-year-old boy with brown hair with long bangs, blue eyes and pale skin with rosy cheeks. As the movie progresses, he starts to get injuries and is shown with bandages. He also got a burn scar after his execution. He is also short standing on 5 ft 4. His casual wear consists of a green rolled-sleeved dress shirt, blue jeans and black converse-like shoes. As the movie progresses, they start to tear apart, get dirty and his sleeves are no longer rolled up. As well as having his hair more messier. During his childhood, his outfit is a lot similar to his casual wear, but his shirt is lighter and his cheeks appear to be more rosier. Starting from the sequel, Dream SMP: The Fall, he appears to have freckles.
His official L'Manberg uniform matched those of his peers: a blue blazer over a white dress shirt with a red sash around the waist, cream breeches, a black-and-white tricorn hat, and long black boots. His presidential uniform was influenced by the former design and formerly belonged to Wilbur Soot, being a simple navy suit with golden shoulder pads over a white undershirt. But like many known fanarts, his necktie is green like his spy outfit/
He has had a variety of temporary or event-exclusive outfits throughout the movie, including, a Butcher Army skin (identical to his usual skin, but with the addition of a bloodstained apron and his sleeves no longer rolled) and a Dreamon Hunter skin (a plaid blue-grey vest over a red shirt with a belt, buckled shoes, and a hat).
His newest outfit, and the one he currently wears the most often, is his Snowchester attire - a thick brown vest and pants over a long-sleeved, checkered, beige shirt that is lined with cream fur and accompanied by boots and a hood.
== Role In The Film ==
Tubbo, along with Tommy, is the main protagonist of the film. He is shown going through a lot of damage from conflicts to wars. This explains his big personality change which made him chaotic like Tommy during the film. He has a solo in the film like many of the characters.
