## Appearances

### Debut

E1 Hello

**Broccoli** is the protagonist of Broccoli Soup. They are a doll stuffed with rice, created by Doris.

## Appearance & Personality

Broccoli is a short, childlike being with poofy, curly hair. Close-up shots reveal that their eyes are made of black buttons, and their "skin" has visible seams. They do not breathe. Because they are ashamed of their doll-like appearance, they are noted to wear clothing that covers most of body, including socks, gloves, and a long gown. Like Doris, their skin, hair, and clothing are completely white. Later in the series, Broccoli is seen wearing a blanket tied over their gown, a blue apron reading "KISS THE CHEF!", a pink suit they made, and a knitted traveling outfit.

Broccoli is an inquisitive, determined, and creative person. They are very eager and expressive, sometimes to comedic effect. They are passionate about being Polite and Good, though they occasionally rebel against Doris's wishes, whether intentionally or not. They are clever and resourceful, but often ignorant and naive.

## Attributes & Abilities

Broccoli is excellent at knitting and is able to make new outfits for themself and others. They can sleep when they are outside of the White VOID, including in the Pinkroom; they dream of the Black VOID, and the Student knocking.

Broccoli has access to several useful items. Their Stick can open gateways to the Pinkroom from anywhere, and they can leave the Pinkroom to either the previous world or the White VOID. Their Gift of Understanding, gifted by Doris, gave them the ability to read (any script) and can also define words or briefly answer questions. A Practical Guide to All that is Polite & Good, a book also gifted by Doris, gives them more information on specific topics and helps them to make moral decisions by Doris's principles. A conch shell, given by Sucre's mother, allows them to contact Sucre. They sometimes have access to the Knife, which can rip holes in the fabric of reality, often leading to a random realm, and can also function as a powerful weapon. Finally, they have special thread that can mend anything, given by Doris for their most recent mission.

## Biography/History

Broccoli was created by Doris. Before that time, they did not exist. They spend their days in the White VOID drinking tea with Doris, knitting, etc. Otherwise, they complete missions within the snowglobe worlds.

After Broccoli drew "LOVE ME" on the ground in tea and wore the tea boot on their foot and the kettle on their head, Doris teaches them manners; as a reward for good behavior, Doris then gifts them the Stick. Doris also gives them Waffles as a companion. They accompany Waffles to Doris's room and steal the Knife. Broccoli then asks Doris for a room of their own; Doris alters the Stick so it will open a doorway to the Pinkroom. Broccoli then hides the Knife in a box in the Pinkroom.

After having seen worlds outside the White VOID, Broccoli feels somewhat disturbed, and finally escapes the VOID using the Knife. In the world they encounter, Broccoli encourages LENNY to seek friends in less-scary places than the Big Dance, and try & fail to attack the Big Dance with the Knife. Doris rescues them and grounds them forever, but changes her mind when Broccoli says they want to help make everything Polite and Good. She then gives Broccoli the Gift of Understanding and A Practical Guide to All that is Polite & Good.

For Broccoli's first mission, they are sent to the Moth Kingdom to act as royal advisor to the King and make the moths more Polite and Good; there, they teach the moths to make tea. For the first time, Broccoli falls asleep, at the home of Stewart, one of the royal guards. They experience their first dream, of a cacophonous knocking in the Black VOID. They learn that Tall Guy poisoned the moths and go in search of them with Stewart, only to learn that Tall Guy is dead. They introduce the moths to the garden outside the Midnight Kitchen, resolving the famine, and return to the White VOID. Later, Doris teaches Broccoli to knit so that they can make a scarf for Fred.

In their next mission, Broccoli and Waffles are sent to the Everything Store to buy ingredients for mochi. There, they meet and befriend Sucre, who guides them through the Everything Store. They have a slumber party with her, but after seeing Sucre torture her stuffed bear, Broccoli nervously returns to the Pinkroom to sleep. This time, they are able to interact with their dream. They return to Sucre after the nightmare, and encourage her not to give up looking for her mother. After reuniting Sucre with her mother, Broccoli buys the mochi ingredients (and an evil sword for Waffles) using money sold by the Everything Store. The trip totaled to 27 days.
