**The Celebration** is a male object student that is seen in the *Virtually Gifted*cartoon series, and can be considered a partial deuteragonist some of the time. He's a relatively important one at that. He happens to compete on Team Rave and serves as the self-appointed team captain and part time slacker of that group. He is voiced by Hiccory.

## Appearance

The Celebration's name is quite literal and doesn't hold back the truth from you in the slightest. He is basically a detailed version of the Celebration weapon from Terraria. Don't sue, please.

## Personality

I've seen this thing before. Hmm..but where? Oh, I know! It looks like a lategame firework launcher from that hit PC game Terraria! But what the heck is it doing here? Who cares? I think he's adorable! Love this best boy too or else you'll face dire punishment...just kidding...unless?

The Celebration is a silly, crazy firework rocket launcher that has a cool and extremely festive personality. He is often shown to be the life of the party in the series, since he loves to plan events and even tries to make the show’s challenges more fun. He has a warm heart and has big dreams unlike most of the other students in the classroom, and shows optimism and positive thinking quite regularly and consistently. His nice nature even attracts stoic and unyielding people like Fedora into liking him sometimes, believe it or not. That shows the audience that he has impeccable charm.

Due to the fact that he is basically a firework launcher and an obvious symbol of the raving lifestyle, the Celebration is known to love partying on mere principle alone. He loves this life of merriment so much that he even occasionally wears shades and cool gear that display his undying and never-ending love of the night life. His extroverted nature does seem to be his strong suit, but also a weakness, considering his dying fear of being alone and friendless. The Celebration also has a cute little knack for singing and dancing, and sometimes does this whenever he's on screen. This vibe of being a true merrymaker showcases the boy as being a rather fun-loving person who has an infectious ability to make almost anyone's day feel better. He always tries to respect boundaries, however, showing a mature nature when the situation needs him to be.

As a behavioral trait that makes him interesting, the Celebration uses cool lingo like slang and modern terms to sound hip and relevant, which sometimes makes him sound dorky and idiotic, but he tends to mean well and doesn't try to piss anyone off. In his studies, he can be described as a bit of a slacker partyboy, but he isn't viewed as being necessarily negligent or reckless for his own good. That being said, he's not always happy, and can be made angry if pushed far enough..or if his partyboy title should ever be threatened. That won't happen...right? Well, find out next time on Virtually Gifted: the show about a lotta weird things.

## Abilities

* **Firing Firework Rockets:** Being based on a firework launcher from a video game, The Celebration can shoot rockets as a projectile that explode into multicolored explosions. The rockets can hurt people and knock them back, but he doesn't usually try to kill people this way, showing self control and restraint to violence.
* **Dancing:** The Celebration is a great dancer.
* **Singing:** The Celebration is a decent singer.
* **Party Mastery:** The Celebration knows how to throw a good party.

## Trivia

* The Celebration is the only student/character in Virtually Gifted that has their official name start with the word "the".
* The Celebration's GPA is 3.1, which crests the average of 3.2 inMcfinny Public School.
* The Celebration likes working out at the gym sometimes, showing a jockish vibe rarely.
* The Celebration hates coffee with a burning passion, believing that he's already in the partying mood without the need for it. This behavioral trait could also reference the fact that a coffee cup originally competed in this show, but was cut for the sake of budget and plot dynamics/storytelling.
	+ He's neutral to Kick, a soda beverage that's an obvious reference to Coca-Cola, and doesn't really like Red Ox, which is a shitty reference to Red Bull energy drinks.
* The Celebration is kind of edgy in his presentation, mentioning party "happy pills" when Pill Bottle appears for the first time in the narrative, and even saying "LET'S GET HIGH" at one point.
	+ He's dialed back a bit later on in the narrative, but there is the waving implication that The Celebration is on stuff in certain episodes to give him edgy vibes.
* The Celebration loves Mondays, and regards them as his favorite day of the week. This is regarded as strange from other people's point of view, considering almost no one on Earth actually likes Monday, especially not students or employees, since it means the start of the work week.
	+ His favorite time of the day happens to be 4:00 PM.
* The Celebration is noted as being one of the older students in the narrative, with an age of about 19 mentally.
	+ People look to him like a "big brother" type thanks to this.
* On rare occasions, it's somewhat implied that the Celebration may in fact be a furry. Why so is rendered unknown at this time.
* The Celebration is the only character that's directly based on a different media, the media in question being *Terraria.* Additionally, the Celebration is the only weapon competitor in the game.
* Originally, The Celebration was a character in the form of a firework rocket by itself, but the crew thought that the rocket design looked kind of dull so he was changed into the Terrarian firework launcher to give him more flavor and spunk.
* The Celebration originally had a friend named Glowstick that was kind of like his lady in crime. This plot thread was scrapped due to budget and plot directions changing, and it's now known that the Celebration is searching for someone to call his real best friend.
	+ As stated earlier, his goal in the show is to find a real connection in someone. While he has friends, he doesn't have best friends. He mentions this fact in the pilot.
* The Celebration is one of three pan characters in *Virtually Gifted*, the other two being Ball and Viewer.
* Hiccory, the Celebration's voice actor, loves him. Daax, the creator, does too.
* The Celebration has one secret fear: being outclassed in the partying game. But no one would steal the title of "king of partying" from him...right?
* The Celebration is, for promotional purposes, a deuteragonist. In the show, he gets a lot of focus, and can be considered an important character, but isn't confirmed to be the actual deuteragonist; Straw is.
