**Norville Rogers**, more commonly known as, **Shaggy** is a member of Mystery Inc., and the owner and best friend of their team's mascot: Scooby-Doo, a talking Great Dane.

## Appearance

Shaggy is a lanky, Caucasian teenaged male; he is fairly light for his age—even Velma Dinkley can pick him up with her own hands. He seems to have a very long neck. He also has whiskers on his chin, forming somewhat of a goatee. During his time as a werewolf, his irises are bluish green.

He usually wears a green V-neck shirt, brown bell-bottom pants, and black platforms, in a red v-neck shirt and blue-colored pants. He has infrequently changed his outfit, from simply switching the colors of his outfit, with a t-shirt and blue pants, to an entire wardrobe change when at Albert Shaggleford's mansion, by wearing a white t-shirt with a dark green stripe and sleeves, an orange long-sleeved undershirt, lighter green cargo pants, and black and white sneakers.

## Personality

Shaggy is something of a hippy due to his generally laid back persona, his hair, clothes, and his inappropriate use of slipping in the word "Like" in his speech. Even though throughout the years, he's tried to be the average teen, he's still stuck being labelled as a hippy.

He and Scooby-Doo have nearly insatiable appetites, as well as tendencies towards goofing off and cowardice. Due to these similarities, Shaggy typically treats Scooby as a normal person rather than his pet. Shaggy uses his catch phrase "*Zoinks!*" whenever he's surprised or scared, which is frequently. Most of the time whenever he's scared, he'd rather save himself and wouldn't help others, but is sometimes encouraged by either Scooby Snacks or his own personal Shaggy Snacks, or Scooby's disappointment in his attitude. Despite this, he would occasionally brag about his bravery and enjoys the attention. During his time at his Uncle Albert's mansion, he had to uncharacteristically summon a large amount of courage and bravery to repeatedly to stop Dr. Phineus Phibes's attempts at global domination, endangering innocent people's lives, and locating the missing Dr. Shaggleford, who had gone into hiding due to his arch-rival Dr. Phibes.

Although Shaggy enjoys a variety of food, he briefly took a stance as a vegetarian.
