Ben Plotz

Ben Plotz is the narrator for Sheep in the Big City. Ben is notorious for his outbursts concerning incoherent narratives. Unrealism, cliché, last-minute budgetary changes, nonsensical tropes, and out-of-character writing annoy him to oblivion. 
==Personality==
While very critical of the scripts he’s given, even cynical at times, Ben Plotz is a theatrical, bubbly personality who puts a lot of effort and passion into his narration job.
==Appearance==
Ben Plotz is a tall, slender man with pinkish skin, dotted eyes and ginger hair. He wears glasses, a light green and olive jumper, a red bowtie, light brown trousers and white shoes.
==Style of Narration==
Despite opening admitting to having a distaste in the scripts he'd been given, Ben Plotz delivers his narration in a bombastic and even overblown manner. Despite not being a protagonist nor an antagonist of the show, he can interact and speak directly to some of the characters, as well as have the ability to change the story and chapter titles sometimes.
==Trivia==
*In “Going Off the Sheep End,” Ben Plotz demanded the ending be changed in favor of a happier one. According to Plotz, the previous ending, involving a grotesquely swollen Sheep getting captured by the Secret Military Organization, was far too “depressing.” Plotz’ ending shrinks Sheep, revives his relationship with Swanky, offers Lady Richington a change of heart, and spontaneously dubs him the winner of a previously unmentioned race. Evident by the progression of the series, neither ending is canon. 
*At one point in “In The Baa-ginning,” Ben Plotz was replaced by another narrator. This replacement is temporarily enacted product of Plotz lashing out at the thought of Sheep being able to get an apartment in The Big City at an affordable price, only to then come back upon realizing the new narrator sounded monotone and uninterested in the story.
*His last name is a pun of the word “plots.”
*Plotz attended "announcer school,” where he made friends with Stu.
**At one point, he and Stu had skipped "announcing class" so they can go fishing. When reminded about it, Ben argues he was a conscientious student who would never indulge in such frivolity. 
*In the ending of “To Sheep, Perchance to Dream,” Ben Plotz gets trapped by an evil version of Sheep and is used for a narrator-powered ray-gun.
*Ben Plotz is the only character who appears in every episode.
