## Nonny

Hello.

**Nonny** is a main character of the Nickelodeon show Bubble Guppies. He is a brainy, cautious, and overly calm male guppy. He's more likely to comment on the action than get swept up in it, and he often uses an advanced vocabulary for his age. Nonny cares about his good friends, but the one he cares about the most is his best friend Oona. Physical activities make Nonny a little unsure of himself, as he'd rather define "basketball".

## Personality

His willingness to keep trying, combined with encouragement from his friends, often leads him to triumph in the end. Nonny loves to read books and has been seen doing this in several episodes. His nickname is Nonners, although nobody calls him that but Deema.

## Physical Appearance

Nonny has peach skin, carrot orange hair, and green eyes. He wears cerulean blue glasses, which resemble scuba goggles. His tail is light green with dark green stripes. His ears are slightly larger than the other guppies'. He is thinner than them as well. Because of his thin stature, it gives him the illusion of having unusually large hands.

Nonny doesn't sing that often, but a solo in the episode, *"Can You Dig It?"* titled *He Found It*, and a full solo in "*The Puppy And The Ring"*, titled *"Cavern Realm Song"*.
