**Caprice** (French: Rosénoir) is a main protagonist of *The Crumpets* (seasons one and two) and *Teen Crumpets* (seasons three and four). She is voiced by Kate Bristol in English (seasons one and two) and Rebecca Benhamour in French.

Caprice is one of the teenage children of Ma and Pa and a sister of her 141 siblings, including Lil'One and Pfff. She is a fashionable goth teenager. She can be a leader among the Crumpet children and is extroverted and enthusiastic, though she may seek attention and can be rebellious, vicious, or depressed.

Outside the family, her best friend is Cassandra McBrisk and her love interest is Marylin.

## Biography

Caprice is an energetic and cheerful teenager who is part of the Crumpets. She enjoys fashion design, listening to music, and social media. Unfortunately, she has a short temper and is irritable to quite any annoyance.

Caprice enjoys hanging out with her best buddy Cassandra. The girls visit each others' houses, but Cassandra is given a time limit by her mother during her visits to the Crumpets' house. Caprice is commonly seen using her smartphone for social media or texting Cassandra. From time to time, the girls fight over things such as guys they like or things they share, or from Caprice's bossiness.

In seasons one and two, Caprice has been a leader among the children, notably when she led efforts to find Pa when he went missing, and King when he's captive by their neighbor. However, she also rebelled her somewhat mundane and "rotten" family in favor of living with her rich Uncle Hurry and Aunt Harried.

Outside of spending time with Cassandra, Caprice also communicates or spends time with her siblings such as watching TV or eating together along the table. She's been seen doing exercises with Triceps for few times and can dance to music in her bedroom. She is lukewarm to her twin siblings Bother and Blister, who have been setting pranks on her.

A recurring conflict for Caprice is for her to quarrel with her baby brother Li'l One. During the search of Pa in the first episode, she discovered leads that Li'l One and Granny are the culprits, blamed them, and became ultimately correct that they're responsible for Pa's disappearance. When Li'l One and Granny created their own viral videos, Caprice tried to star in them due to her acting skills, but Li'l One denied her entry and forcibly pushed her away. And just before a horror movie showing for the males of the family, Caprice spoke on behalf of her banned sisters and complained of Li'l One's peeing at a past horror movie night and his misogyny. Caprice wasn't fascinated with babysitting him as well, when their parents were absent and she had her eyes on throwing a party.

Caprice isn't hesitant to show her insecure side and easily falls to sadness. She can immediately cry over things like not receiving Marylin's love, having no social media likes, or a one-time poor perception of her body. She is very drawn to her phone and can breakdown if it's not in her possession, to the point she uses a wheelchair. Worst of all, she may desire or attempt suicide from having no appreciation by her family or not living in her house (after Hurried and Harried kicked the Crumpets out in "Gambled Gables"). In season three, she and Pfff became depressed in the aftermath of their friend Marylin departing for a mysterious trip. After she received braces in "Dans tes dents", she's very afraid of opening her mouth and exposing her braces to other people. She even stayed silent to Cassie for days.

She doesn't regard animals well, either because she hates them or is insecure of handling them. When she had to babysit Grownboy's menagerie, she prioritized inviting Marylin to Grownboy's house. Before Marylin's arrival, she kicked pink penguins, hid puppies under a couch and threw one; however she became part of the menagerie's rescue from her uncle and aunt's plane so she could prove to her animal-loving brother King that she loves animals. In different episodes, she suggested euthanizing T-Bone (who was acting strange because his body was swapped with Ms. McBrisk at the time), kicked him to spit the food she's secretly transporting to the McBrisks, and dragged him on the leash and kept dropping him after he licks her (though she usually displays love to him when they're on-air for the *Once Upon A Time In The Van* reality show). Her mistreatment of animals seems to be toned down in season three; sometimes she's fine with Marylin's pet mouse, usually not if it wants to kiss her (to which she frowns on).

### Relationship with Marylin

Since the early episodes, she displays a romantic obsession over a goth boy named Marylin. Although she eventually replaced Cassandra as his lover, he doesn't show much interest in her. One day, he friended her on the internet and delivered her a love poem, then she invited him for a date at the house of her brother Grownboy. After his arrival, Marylin, who is a nature fanatic, seemed more interested in Grownboy's animals than Caprice herself, who was trying to hide the critters. They would meet again at a party in Cassandra's home and a concert outside the Crumpet house, the latter where they distantly smooch to the air towards other.

In *Teen Crumpets*, while Caprice hangs out with him very frequently, in "Meilleure copine", it's revealed that Marylin preferred Caprice as a "best friend" because he has sights on another girl. Many *Teen Crumpets* episodes feature clashes between the two, including the girls' admiration of Rodrigo and Pedro Fennec, a male pop duo hated by the Marylin and Pfff. However, Caprice continues to express interest on him, which was uncommonly requited until season 4 where there are more episodes of Marylin loving her back.

## Trivia

* It can be argued that Caprice is the main character of the entire show due to the high number of episodes featuring her (but not always as the protagonist), Li'l-One's downgrade to a minor character in *Teen Crumpets* and Pfff's lesser proactivity. She is the only character appearing in all episodes and is also the first character presented in the Kickstarter summary for the season 3 English dub.
* In the French dub of the pilot, she was voiced by Sarah Benhamour.
* In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, she is known as Patricia and voiced by Lene Bastos.
* In the Mandarin dub, her name is "卡普瑞希" (ka pu rui xi) and is commonly nicknamed "瑞希" (rui xi).
* Sometimes, she does a distinctive form of walking where she swings her arms and takes big steps.
* She and her siblings appear as enemies in a web game that uses early character artwork of the show. She looks very similar to her final appearance, but she carries a purple bag strapped over her shoulder.
* In "Hairifying", although she's seen as part of the group of females after they get cured of their zombie status at the ending, she's never visible as a zombie. The Pff Crumpet Facebook page includes an image of Caprice as a zombie while also possessing the werewolf-like hair she gained in the episode.
* She had a pink rocking horse (because she was scared of an actual horse biting her) and an ostrich stuffed toy with one missing eye known as "Ozzie" as childhood toys. They return in "Troc de trucs", which centers on a ragdoll she played with years ago.
* According to the French description of the episode "Murder Everywhere", she turns 15 on her birthday.
* She and Cassie love The Goth Goths, a band mentioned in the *Teen Crumpets* episodes.
* She hates The Pussy Dolls, a girl group in which Pfff is a fan.
* She enjoys drawing on her sketchpad.
* She isn't good at spelling. Consequentially, she may ask Cassie for help.
* She has a habit of using swear words, including one that's never known to the audience due to the show humorously censoring itself.
* Her asymmetric hair frequently switches sides as a common production error.
* It's revealed in "Troc de trucs" that when Caprice was a little girl, her body proportions were a bit similar to the twins', and her hair and clothing are very similar to what she has at the present, albeit her hair was short and she wore different shoes. This would mean she has been a goth for several years.
* She has been fascinated with wedding dresses since age five.
