**Stingy** is a main character in *LazyTown*. He’s a possessive, selfish collector and the son of the wealthiest LazyTowner.

Description
*A bossy collector of stuff, Stingy impatiently dreams of being king of the world. Young and eager, he loves playing with the group (you can’t be a king without subjects), but finds himself apoplectic with jealousy whenever anyone brings something new to play with, something that he doesn’t have. He feels that possessions ‘make the man’. Stingy’s avid collecting does mean that he usually has just the thing the others need to save the day, put on the play, or find their way. If he’ll only share it, that is.*
*Stingy admires Trixie’s carefree attitude, but he’s jealous of her leadership ability. He’s covetous of Pixel’s computers and gadgets, can’t comprehend Ziggy’s generosity, and, while he really likes Stephanie, is vexed by her seeming lack of concern with material things. What’s a king to do?* — LazyTown.com

Looks
Stingy has fair skin, a round build, brown hair, dark brown eyes, and heavy eyelids. He styles his hair short, with some of it being swept over to the left. His outfit consists of a long-sleeved button-up shirt with pale blue/grey stripes, a yellow vest, knee-length shorts in the same yellow, knee-high white socks, black loafers, a black belt, a red bowtie with a white polka dot pattern and pig-shaped cufflinks. Beginning in season two, he occasionally wears a pair of rectangular, black-rimmed glasses.

Personality
Stingy, as his name implies, is the stingiest and greediest person in LazyTown. His catchphrase is "It's Mine!", which he says about almost everything, going as far as to have a song, The Mine Song, where he claims that everything is LazyTown belongs to him. Despite his greedy behavior, he cares about his friends deeply, and enjoys playing with them. However, his stingy behavior often makes irriates them, and Stingy becomes hurt and angry when he’s excluded or they don't want to play with him. He’s very clean and hygienic and teaches the kids how important it is to clean up and to keep everything tidy (***Trash Trouble***). Throughout the series, Stingy gradually becomes more modest and kind.
