Charles Foster Kane

Rosebud.

Walter Parks Thatcher (legal guardian; deceased)

Emily Monroe Norton Kane (first wife; deceased)

Susan Alexander Kane (second wife)

Charles Foster Kane III (son; deceased)

**Charles Foster Kane (born 1863 - dies 1941)** is the eponymous character of Orson Welles' 1941 film *Citizen Kane*.

He was portrayed by Orson Welles as an adult, along with Buddy Swan playing Kane as a child.

## Why He Rocks

1. Orson Welles does an exceptional performance as the central character.
2. He's shown to very manipulate and snarky, which can be funny at times.
3. Despite being a super rich newspaper editor, he's still a decent boss isn't too corrupt about his job.
4. Even though he was harsh and stubborn to his employees, he still desperately wanted to be loved and has shown to being pretty caring at certain times.
5. His Rosebud moment towards the ending, resembled his childhood, when he was last truly happy. This makes his death scene even more heartbreaking despite all of his questionable acts during the film.
Character Arcs

**Character Arcs** are the transformation or inner journey of a character over the course of a story. There are 3 types of character arcs.

## Positive Character Arc

In the positive arc, the character will start out with varying levels of personal unfulfillment and denial. Over the course of the story, he will be forced to challenge his beliefs about himself and the world, until finally he conquers his inner demons (and, as a result, probably his outer antagonists as well) and ends his arc having changed in a positive way. This is about "The Lie the Chatacter Believes."

### Notable characters with positive character arcs

* Aang (Avatar:The Last Airbender)
* Zuko (Avatar:The Last Airbender)
* Woody (Toy Story)

## Flat Character Arc

Many popular stories feature characters who are already essentially complete unto themselves. They’re already heroes and don’t require any noticeable personal growth to gain the inner strength to defeat the external antagonists. These characters experience little to no change over the course of the story, making their arcs static or “flat.” Sometimes these characters are the catalysts for change in the story world around them, so that we find more prominent growth arcs in the minor characters. This is about "The Truth the Character Believes."

### Notable characters with flat character arcs

* Son Goku (Dragon Ball series)
* Forrest Gump (Forrest Gump)
* Sora (Kingdom Hearts)
* Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog)
* Mario (Super Mario Bros.)

## Negative Character Arc

Negative character arcs offer, arguably, more variations that either of the other arcs. However, at their most basic level, the Negative Arc is just a Change Arc flipped on its head. Instead of a character who grows out of his faults into a better person, the Negative Arc presents a character who ends up in a worse state than that in which he began the story.

### Notable characters with negative character arcs

* Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader (Stars Wars Prequel Trilogy)
* Light Yagami (Death Note)

1. He seems to be a very serious and strong willed man who knows that nature isn't always safe and you should be careful with it.
2. While it was harsh he technically did made a fair point that the bears being reckless, careless, and unintentionally destructive was wrong.
3. To be fair he only wants to restore the "natural order" and not cause any destruction and/or harm for any of the humans and seems to treat all of them (minus officer Murphy) quite gentlemanly.
4. He acts and is a total awesome action villain plus his design looks kind of cool.
5. He is voiced perfectly.
6. He is pretty scary for some viewers, which has been a point of praise.

Bumblebee (DC Super Hero Girls 2019)

Karen: "That’s right! You’re no match for Karen Beecher! Hall Monitor!"
GO’s Titans: "And Bumblebee!"
Karen: "Yeah, and Bumblebee."

**Karen Beecher** (also known as **Bumblebee**) is one of the main characters in the second generation of the DC Super Hero Girls franchise. She is a member of the Super Hero Girls and a student at Metropolis High School.

## Why She Rocks

1. She's a very likable hero who she and her friends are willing to stop crime in Metropolis.
2. She’s unique compared to her first generation counterpart, as while G1 Bumblebee was a Teen Titan (a mixed team of boys and girls), this Bumblebee is part of the Superhero Girls team (which consists of all girls).
3. Her voice acting is great, as she was voiced by Kimberly Brooks.
4. Her friendship with her friends is wonderful, especially with the rest of the Super Hero Girls, and Carter.
	* Speaking of Carter, they have a great friendship, as she helps him reunite with his long lost love, Shiera, and also understands his tragic past of his dangerous enemy, Hath-Set, who comes every time Carter is dating his love, and defeats and kills them both in every life they lived in. Karen even offered to have her and her team face Hath-Set for him.
5. Karen is also shown to be intelligent, as she is seen using her small size to her advantage, and also use a unique fighting style, the Beeline, where she comes at her foe flying in her bee size, then changes to her normal human size to tackle them hard.
6. She has good talents as well, such as inventing her super suit.
7. She’s very shy and nervous, which is understandable giving she’s the weakest of the girls and is very scared of facing danger directly.
8. When she notices a bad situation, she immediately gets to resolving it, and even faces her fears to save the day and help her friends take down the bad guys.
9. Her character design is cute.
10. She is very loyal to her team, when compared to her Teen Titans GO! counterpart.
	* TTG!'s Bumblebee eventually left the Titans, which hurt their feelings. For how unlikable TTG!'s Titans are, even they didn’t deserve this. This Bumblebee, however, is very loyal to her team and would never leave them. This shows when she defends her team from her alternate future self, Night Sting, and says to her "I’m definitely never EVER gonna grow up to be a jerk like YOU!"
	* Not to mention, this Bumblebee is far more likable, has more action scenes, and has a cuter character design.
	* Speaking of which, she is a good friend to TTG!'s Titans in "Superhero Fued" and "Space House".
11. She has a lot of funny and iconic moments in the series.

## Bad Qualities

1. She can be a coward sometimes whenever she’s not fighting supervillains, but she has gotten braver as the series went on.
2. She has some limitations on what she can do due to her small size.
3. She sometimes can be unlikable at times and/or have episodes that show her at her worst such as #CrushingIt and #ScrambledEggs (the show's version of Get the Hock Out from Buddy Thunderstruck).

## Trivia

* She is currently the only member of the team to not have her parents physically appear in the show.

Captain Louis Renault

## Capt. Louis Renault

"Round up the usual suspects."

**Captain Louis Renault** is a supporting-antagonist-later-protagonist of the 1942 Warner Bros. film *Casablanca*.

He was portrayed by Claude Rains.

## Why He Rocks

1. As usual, Claude Rains is at the top of his game with his portrayal of Renault.
2. Even though he often works with Major Strasser, he's not very evil when he's not around.
3. He's had a character development arc similar to Rick's in which decides whether he should stay with Strasser or join the rebellion.
4. While Rick, Ilsa and Laszlo are definitely not poorly-written characters, they're all going to do what their archetypes want them to. Renault on the other hand is an absolute wild card and completely unpredictable, he's constantly switching sides between the Nazis and the freedom fighters, and as a result manages to be just as interesting and complex as the leads.
5. He gets loads of snarky one-liners during his parts of the film such as the following:
	1. "I'm shocked, *shocked* to find that gambling is going on in here."
	2. "The waters? What waters? We're in the desert."
6. He was very protective of Rick and the refugees, showing to secretly be trying to sabotage Strasser's plan showing himself to not be completely evil, even before he completely redeems himself.
7. The famous scene towards the end where he sees Rick's noble sacrifice and gets inspired to turn over a new leaf as well.
Betty Quinlan (The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius)

**Betty Quinlan** is a supporting character in The Adventures of *Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius series*. She is a student at Lindbergh Elementary School and was Jimmy's love interest before Cindy. Betty's first appearance was in the episode *Party at Neutron's*, where she was one of the kids who attended Jimmy's party. She dances with Jimmy and kisses him on the cheek when she leaves his house.

## Why She Rocks

1. She's very kind and nice to the other students, including Jimmy, plus she's one of the only people who doesn't make fun of him at school.
2. She is one of the most likeable and prominent supporting characters in the series.
3. She is one of the few students who likes to see Jimmy's inventions.
4. In the episode "Out, Darn Spotlight", she had shown to be a talented actress, as she manages to play Lady Macbeth very well in the school play.
5. She also proved to be supportive, as she encourages Jimmy to play Macbeth after Nick got injured.
6. Her character design, although very simple compared to the other characters, is still good.
7. She is aware that Cindy has a crush on Jimmy, and in the Vanishing Act episode, she gets tired of Cindy's jealous attitude towards her and Jimmy, so decides to tell her: "I know all about the whole 'you and Neutron' thing, Just stay out of my face. He's all yours."

## Trivia

* It is revealed in The *League of Villains* that Jimmy still likes her, since he was shown to still have many pictures of her in a drawer in his lab and one in his captain's log, which Cindy made him get rid of upon discovering them.
* Betty is one of the only two supporting characters to have story logical appearances rather than normal ones like most of the villains have such as King Goobot V, Beautiful Gorgeous, and Eustace Strych. The other is Jet Fusion.
* Her design is a bit reminiscent of a member from the famous Retroville band, Graystar.
Bugs Bunny

What's up, doc? **Bugs Bunny** here. You're looking... I'm mean... reading about the mascot of the Warner Bros. company, and a recurring character in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoon series. As you probably already know, I'm a classic cartoon trickster. You don't expect much, and bam!, I hit them with my classic poetic justice. Anyway, onto my main glory and classic traits. Lola Bunny is my gal.

## Why I Rock, doc.

1. I'm the supreme Warner Bros. icon.
2. Since my debut in 1938, I amazingly stole the show! After two years of stealing the show, Tex Avery decided to gave me my gift: my very first starring role, entitled "*A Wild Hare*", released in theaters and earned an Oscar nomination in 1940.
3. I'm one of the most iconic and recognizable cartoon characters ever created. Hey I'm popular enough to rival the big mouse himself in terms of popularity.
4. According to *Bugs Bunny Superstar*, I'm one of the biggest names in wacky comedy.
5. I'm a serious karmic trickster who usually has a specific revenge term, and don't try to push things too far. Even when I do, it always comes back to bite me... sometimes literally.
6. Fun fact about me: I didn't appear in animation until almost a decade into the Looney Tunes series run. I was meant to be a one-shot character, but look at me now!
7. My famous catchphrases such as "What's up doc?", and "Of course you realize, this means war" never get old, and are classic favorites.
8. I can easily entertain the viewers with my cartoon antics, and fourth-wall awareness, but then again, it's a typical cartoon thing.

## What are my bad qualities?

1. I was kinda racist in earlier pre-1948 shorts.
2. Because I’m not always to considerate about others often and usually think of only myself.
3. I don’t always admit my true feels towards others including the Looney Tunes.

## My Trivia Section, doc.

* Fun fact about me: I was the second cartoon character to win a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. (after the mouse) (The 1818th star to be exact. On December 10, 1985.) Everyone loves my short films especially *Looney Tunes*, I've been entertaining audiences since the 30s and I'm still iconic to this day!

Alberto Scorfano

**Alberto Scorfano** is the deuteragonist of Luca and the best friend of Luca Paguro. He is a sea monster who can assume human form while on land. He is a lonely boy who has no parental guardian.

## Why He Rocks

1. He serves as a key component to Luca after the latter went on the surface. Alberto taught Luca about the human world and even taught Luca about fitting in the human world as well. Of course, Luca did disobey his parents, but he wanted to be friends and Alberto is the one that fits well. Overall became friends.
	* And let's not forget the emotional scene where Alberto waves goodbye to Luca after the latter goes to school with Giulia. He even sold his scooter for a train ticket to Luca
	* He and Luca helped Giulia to win the cup due to her vomiting during the competition as it appears that more people are better than one to win a team race.
	* He can also be a good influence on Luca as he taught Luca about "Silenzio Bruno".
	* He even reunited with Luca and was carrying an umbrella for Luca.
2. He's a free-spirited and gregarious sea monster who wants to explore the human world all because he wants to have fun.
3. Alberto's exposure as a sea monster is often seen as a running gag. Not only that but it can sometimes bring in some tension in certain scenes such as attempting to give Luca an umbrella during the race only for him to get knocked out and reveal his sea monster form in front of Ercole Visconti.
4. He's such a big help to Massimo as both seem to be on good terms with each other as a father/son-like figure to each other. Sure, they are not related and they are different species yet that didn't stop them. Even the credits show Alberto working for him.
5. The scene where Alberto mentions that his father abandoned him is pretty emotional as it makes viewers felt sorry for him. He even went as far as thinking that Luca wants to abandon him after being jealous of Luca hanging out with Giulia.
	* Also the scene where he reveals his sea monster form on purpose in front of Giulia due to his jealously is also emotional.
6. He alongside Luca and Giulia was the main reason why the people of the Italian village became more tolerant of the sea monsters.
7. He's pretty smart about the human world even before he met Luca. You see, he actually collected human stuff for the sake of curiosity and wonder.
8. The movie portrays him as one of the most expressive characters in the film thanks to his character.

## Bad Qualities

1. He was so jealous of Luca and Giulia at one point. Even went to the point of betraying Luca at one point briefly.
2. He was not unaware of the word "stupido" as he and Luca learned the word.
3. He claims to know a lot about human culture, but in some cases, it's otherwise like saying that the stars are fish when it's not true.

## Trivia

* His last name means "redfish" in Italian.
* He was going to be just a human until it was confirmed that he was also a sea monster.
* As hinted by an interview by Enrico Casarosa, Alberto's first name comes from Enrico's childhood friend.
* There has been theories suggesting that Luca and Alberto were gay, but Enrico has stated that the film isn't about romance.
Brandon

**Brandon** is a supporting character shown all throughout the series. He is simply a bear who works at IFrame Outlet in the plaza alongside A Real Magic Skeleton. His first appearance in the *OK K.O.!* franchise was in the 2013 pilot, "Lakewood Plaza Turbo".

## Why He Rocks

1. He is very funny for the most part.
2. He seems to care a lot about his best friend A Real Magic Skeleton. He has been shown to enjoy goofing off with ARMS, and gets upset when he expresses interest in working somewhere else in "RMS & Brandon's First Episode". He also shows a lot of affection for his best friend, making him laugh, nicknaming him "Magi", and even giving him a corsage at the plaza prom.
3. He is good at drumming as show in the series finale.
4. He's good at attacking bad guys, but has to do it on a consistent drum beat.

## Bad Qualities

1. Brandon can actually fight, but he is lazy.
2. Besides his kind nature, he is impulsive and manipulative.
Anti-Hero

An **anti-hero** is a protagonist who has the opposite of most of the traditional traits that are associated with traditional heroes.

## Why This Trope Rocks

1. It makes the character relatable and innately human.
2. The anti-hero's story would be more challenging to the viewers, as their actions would be difficult to predict.
3. It highlights the fact that the line between heroism and villainy is extremely thin, producing a large grey area in between them. Whereas villains have redeeming qualities, heroes have personality flaws.

## Bad Quality

1. Some anti-heroes can be unsympathetic and unlikeable.
	* Also anti-heroes can sometimes be jerks.

## Examples of well-written anti-heroes

* 22 (*Soul*)
* Asuka Langley Soryu (*Neon Genesis Evangelion*)
* Blake Belladonna (*RWBY*)
* Donald Duck (*Disney*)
* Emperor Kuzco (*The Emperor's New Groove*)

Aldrich Killian (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

**Aldrich Killian** is the main antagonist of *Iron Man 3*. He is a shrewd and calm business man that has grudge against Tony Stark and wants to ruin his life.

## Why He's The Mandarin

1. He is shown excited to meet Tony Stark in the beginning of the movie. Him being left on the balcony cold and unsure is sympathetic and he clearly wasn't bad before Tony left him there waiting.
2. He is handsome and smooth. Guy Pearce plays him effortlessly and the charisma oozes out of him in every of his scenes. He is also quite calm at times, like when he just watched unafraid as Tony's armor drew closer towards him.
3. Him trying to ruin Tony's life is understandable as no respected Killian until he showed them his Extremis technology. He thought Tony was the one person to finally see him as a person, but Tony was just like everyone else.
4. Although he faults Tony for something he did in the past, his pettiness is still entertaining as well as understandable as now he has everything and Tony seemingly has nothing, which to him feels cathartic.
5. He made people into superhumans by giving them the power to regenerate lost pieces of them and the power to take action. Although he may not have actually cared about them, though that's debatable, he did still give them hope.
6. He is entertainingly sadistic as he put the POTUS in an excruciating position of chains midair just to torture him and anyone watching that may have cared for the POTUS.

## "Bad Quality"

* He was hated by a loud continuous crowd that was actually the minority but people assumed they were the whole fanbase hopped on the hate-fountain just to fit in, which wasn't his character's fault nor the writing's fault.

## Trivia

* His line "I am The Mandarin!" is quoted often in various Marvel communities.
Cala Maria

Cuphead (formerly)

Mugman (formerly)

> *"You are a cutie...I am not sure if I should catch and release!"*
>
>

> **—Cala Maria, Phase 1 Death Screen**
>
>

**Cala Maria** is one of the bosses on *Inkwell Isle Three* on the boss level, "High Seas Hi-Jinx!" in the 1930's stylized, indie game *Cuphead*. Despite being a boss, Cala Maria is not evil, she is just trying to protect her soul and is more of an antagonistic heroine than a real threat.

## Why She Rocks

1. Cala Maria has solid, unique design with a dead octopus haircut and a round fishtail that is obscured by water.
2. She is notably flirty, as suggested when she says "you-hoo!" to Cuphead and Mugman when they first encounter her during the battle.
3. Compared to most of the bosses in the game, she is notably less arrogant, as implied by her first death message if the brothers are killed by her. Being a mermaid, it is not surprising that she shares a mutual relationship with sea life, as she uses them as her minions to assist her in battle.
4. Her attack pattern (during the first phase of the battle) is more unpredictable compared to previous bosses, such as attacks summoning many sea creatures to her aid.
5. Once defeated, Cala Maria will turn away, saddened by her lost while one of the snakes in her hair will play a sorrowful tune on a violin, she will also sign her respective soul contract as a result; this is both tragic and hilarious.
6. Her high-pitched voice, laughs, and grunts are voiced by little-known actress, Denise Hatton.
7. The setting of her fight is similar to the Silly Symphony, *King Neptune*. In the short, a mermaid is held hostage by pirates and the sea creatures, along with Neptune himself and the other mermaids, try and save her. In her fight, she’s a mermaid who is trying to defend her contract and soul from Cuphead and Mugman.

## Bad Qualities

1. Even though she looks like an adolescent, her voice is high-pitched and irritating; though, this may be intentional as it's a staple of early cartoons.

## Trivia

* "Yoo-hoo!" is a commonly used cliche in old cartoons in which an attractive woman uses that phrase to flirtingly call out to a man who is interested in her. This line was also made famous by Minnie Mouse.
