Patrick Star

Patrick Star is a protagonist and a member of The New Action Squad.

## **BIOGRAPHY**

He was the second born of two children to Margie and Herb Star.

Sam was lost at sea when she and Patrick were children. He did not see her again until the episode "Big Sister Sam." In the same episode, he mentions how Sam was his 'rock' when they were younger and how she looked out for him, implying they were somehow separated from their parents when Patrick was a baby. However, in "I'm With Stupid", he can immediately recognize his parents and it's implied they are not long-lost.

Patrick met SpongeBob when the two were babies, as shown in "The Secret Box.".

When he was a kid, Patrick tended to recite poems during gym class, which ruined his reputation and made him a target for dodgeball players, as shown in "Sing a Song of Patrick."

When he was an adult, he moved out and rented a rock house eventually to own it. He lives next door to Squidward.

As revealed in "Home Sweet Pineapple," Patrick was kicked out of his parents' house at one point and never allowed to come back. He thus created his rock, with the only difference being that he added a satellite antenna to it.

At some point, Patrick went to community college with Flats the Flounder, although he forgets what he studied there and likely failed to graduate.

Patrick celebrated two unspecified birthdays in the episodes "The Donut of Shame" and "Overbooked."

One day, when his neighbor Squidward was gardening, a pineapple fell from a ship into the ocean, landing on Squidward's garden creating the pineapple house. Meanwhile, SpongeBob was looking for a house of his own; when all hope seemed lost, SpongeBob and the real estate agent saw the pineapple house's creation and Patty said she had forgotten about the house. SpongeBob bought it. To this day, they have been neighbors.

Outside of Bikini Bottom, he is also a member of The New Action Squad.

## **APPEARANCE**

Patrick is an overweight, coral-pink starfish with a pointy head, thick eyebrows, lavender eyelids, and red dots across in his body. In season 1, due to unsteady or cel-animation, his eyebrows were thin, and in the shape of a couple of M's. The flowers on his pants were also dark purple instead of light.

At the beginning of season 2, Patrick's eyebrows were slightly thicker and shaped like the letter Z. He is shown to have either a full set of teeth, a single tooth, or sometimes none at all. His eyes are simple black dots and are addressed by such on his driver's license.

However, close-ups in "Wormy" and "Oral Report" show that Patrick's eyes are olive green, while in the short "Time Machine" they are purple.

He usually wears lime green pants with lavender flowers on them. The first movie reveals that he wears Goofy Goober underwear, which he wore for three years straight. He changed out of them upon becoming a "man." When sleeping alone, he normally just wears plain underwear, but when he has company, he wears lavender pajamas with pale green flowers on them, along with a matching nightcap.

## **PERSONALITY**

Patrick's portrayal is pleasant, lazy, dim-witted, unmannerly, naïve, and generally ignorant. Despite being portrayed as a full-grown adult, Patrick acts immature for his age and partakes in many childish activities with SpongeBob. Patrick's personality is similar to SpongeBob's, but they are not interchangeable, as SpongeBob is a lot more intelligent, responsible, optimistic, mannerly, and down-to-earth than Patrick. His dim-wittedness often annoys SpongeBob and causes him a lot of problems.

He has a short temper and is prone to psychopathic tendencies if something upsets him. In "Nature Pants," Patrick goes on a psycho-spree throughout Jellyfish Fields and attempts to kidnap SpongeBob when the latter decides to live with the jellyfish. In "Valentine's Day," Patrick goes on a rampage and causes mass disruption at the carnival in retaliation for having yet to receive a present from SpongeBob. In "Big Pink Loser," Patrick furiously scrapes the top of a broomstick on the Krusty Krab floorboards out of anger that he can't do anything right. In the same episode. He also shouted at a customer and slammed the phone for thinking the customer called him a "Krusty Krab". In "The Fry Cook Games," he goes berserk when SpongeBob erases a part of his name tag to make it say "Rick." In "No Weenies Allowed," Patrick gets angry whenever he is called "Tubby," and punches SpongeBob in response to him addressing him like that. In "Home Sweet Pineapple," he smashes SpongeBob with a rock after mistaking him for a spider. In "Squidtastic Voyage," he destroys the submarine control panels with an ax after he believed that Sandy was trapped in the speaker. Due to his lack of superiority in contrast to the other characters, Patrick suffers from low self-esteem and can exhibit varying levels of jealousy when witnessing the success of others. In "Valentine's Day," he expresses jealousy toward everyone who received a gift and invokes revenge by causing disruption at the carnival and breaking everything in sight. In "Big Pink Loser," Patrick expresses anger toward SpongeBob for receiving abundant awards and having the ability to do everything right. In "No Hat for Pat" and "Patrick-Man!," Patrick shows jealousy to SpongeBob for having a job and special worker's hat. Patrick's jealousy is also a driving point on the plot in "No Nose Knows," where he expresses his remorse over being in the minority of citizens without a nose, prompting him to get one through plastic surgery. In "The Executive Treatment," Patrick willingly impersonates an executive out of jealousy of their exclusive ability to purchase a special Krabby Patty variety. In "Big Pink Loser," Patrick models his rock after SpongeBob's pineapple to emulate the latter's lifestyle.

He also joins in with the exploits of others (usually SpongeBob) to fit in. In "Mid-Life Crustacean," Patrick, SpongeBob, and Mr. Krabs attempt to steal Betsy Krabs' panties, as part of the "panty raid." In "Doing Time," Patrick assists SpongeBob in his local bank robbery scheme, intent on getting arrested to free Mrs. Puff from jail.
