Marshall

**Marshall** is a Dalmatian puppy and one of the main protagonists in the TV series *PAW Patrol*. He is the 3rd member of the PAW Patroland the team's fire pup, as well as the medic pup (as of "Pups Save Jake"). His primary purpose is to check for fires and extinguish them, and to use his ladder to rescue animals from high places. His secondary purpose, as a medic, is to use his X-Ray screen to check people for any broken bones or injuries, and to attend to them if needed (even though he tends to go overboard with bandages).

## Personality

In the PAW Patrol, Marshall is usually the comic relief of the group, as he tends to be goofy and clumsy. He is quite accident-prone and gets a lot of slapstick injuries, crashing into things such as the pups at the Lookoutelevator, falling off his ladder and getting his head stuck in things. He is very excitable, a bit air-headed, and not particularly well-coordinated. He can be immature sometimes. When he is excited, he usually howls. However, when it comes to doing Pup-Fu, he is quite agile. He tends to make jokes (most often puns) when he collides into the other pups in the elevator, with mixed reception.

Despite his clumsiness, Marshall is a loyal, competent and brave member of the PAW Patrol and has helped Ryder and the other pups in several missions. Marshall is also very friendly and sweet, especially to birds (e.g. Fuzzy). He and Chase are best friends and can be playfully competitive with each other. He may unintentionally spray Rocky with his water cannons, but he always apologizes for it afterwards. He's very earnest in helping people, though he can be awkward. He is good with animals. Aside from the aforementioned birds, he tends to get along with monkeys and cows. He has a big heart and is determined to never let his friends down.

He can feel insecure on occasion, fearing that he may mess things up. In "Pups Save a Friend", he felt ashamed after unintentionally making Mr. Porter spill his produce and causing Mayor Goodway and Chickaletta to crash their scooter. He then thought that he was ruining his friends' fun with his clumsiness and temporarily took a break from the PAW Patrol. They later reassured him that that's not the case, and he was quite relieved, proving that he cares about them and is sensitive to their opinions. In spite of his insecurities, though, he always pulls through in the end, showing his determination.

## Appearance

Marshall has spotted white fur covering his body and bright blue eyes. During missions, Marshall typically wears a firefighter helmet and a red vest. He also wears a red pup-pack, which features a water cannon (acting as a fire hose). When his medical skills are put to practice, Marshall wears a red cap with a yellow trim (replacing his firefighter helmet), and his pup-pack contains medical supplies such as bandages and a thermometer (in place of the water cannon). This is his EMT uniform.

In "PAW Patrol: The Movie", Marshall's standard uniform was given a visual redesign, with his uniform being composed of a porous and durable fireproof material. Armored plating is also present on the design, and he features multiple reflector bands on his uniform. Marshall also has a different pup pack featuring equipment such as an axe, and his visor loses it's frame while gaining yellow tinted glass. Much like all of the pups sans Chase, Marshall's movie uniform features sleeves.
