Toaster

**Toaster** is the main protagonist of The Brave Little Toaster (1987), and acts as the group's voice of reason. You may be looking for her novella equivalent of the same name, which can be found here.

## Detailed Appearance

Toaster appears as a standard Sunbeam toaster with a reflective chrome surface, black levers, plastic base and legs, as well as their cord. Their levers act as hands and, unlike most of the other characters, they prefer the use of them as limbs rather than their plug.

Their eyes are a medium-brown color, actually having an iris unlike the other characters.

## Personality

**Toaster** retains a generally warm personality, true to the type of appliance she is. Soft-spoken and empathetic, she cares deeply for her friends and often act as the voice of reason for the group.

When agitated, she tends to keep quiet right until her breaking point, where she usually ends up shouting at whoever is angering her. She is quick to make decisions and even quicker with her wit, though still seemingly having a tendency to fall into a depressive spiral during situations that appear to be hopeless. Toaster is an appliance that others are comfortable being around, as they always see a bit of themselves reflected back to them.

Her selfless actions, and of course *bravery,* has made her more than deserving of her title as leader.

## Biography

In the beginning of the film, she wakes up in sequence with the others in the house *(though it doesn't appear that she was awoken by anyone in particular, as she woke just before she was finished pretending to toast something),* leaving the kitchen to watch Lampy and Radio fight. She finds this amusing, and waits off to the side for the banter to conclude before greeting the others enthusiastically once as everything had quieted down.

## Trivia

* As revealed when the group asked the stoplight for directions, Toaster is illiterate.
* Due to many different factors, Toaster's gender has been retconned many times; As of 2017, Jerry Rees uses exclusively she/her on Toaster, though in the movie Toaster is referred to with he/him. Both sets of pronouns were said to be used interchangeably in production, and this has caused a good amount of fighting amongst fans.
* Toaster's model of Sunbeam doesn't exist in real life, but appears to be a combination of the T-20, T-10, and T-9.
* Not including Lampy or Kirby, Toaster is the only main character with a properly "confirmed" iris color that stays consistent throughout her appearances.
* According to the novella, Toaster has a habit of pretending to toast things as a way to calm herself. The habit appears to remain in the film, though not as frequent as the novella (she only seems to do this once).
* Toaster was mentioned to've had a near-death experience when young Rob stuck playdoh into her slots, requiring for her to be disassembled after it had melted.
* It was revealed during the Jerry Rees Interactive Interview that she'd had another similar experience several years after the one above in which an entire slice of pizza "with everything on it" was put into her slots during a party, resulting in another dismantling.
* During the May 6th Jerry Rees Interactive Interview, Toaster was confirmed as an adult.
