**Cough Syrup** is a male object student seen in *Virtually Gifte*d*.* He plays on the Leather Heads team, hindering its success more often than not, and has his slightly grating voice provided by.

## Appearance

Cough Syrup, true to his pretty obvious and uninspired name, takes the form of a maroonish-brown colored bottle of cough syrup. His design is rather simple and lacks a label, and this helps the budget of the animation for this show.

## Personality

Cough Syrup has a rather odd portrayal compared to other characters of the series. His personality is that of a drunkard, as Cough Syrup is well known for saying random statements and his vocal performance complementing this, as his dialogue is marked by slurring his speech and stammering. Cough Syrup is also usually seen doing odd things like napping and barfing cough syrup liquid, further cementing him as a drunk and strange individual.

Cough Syrup doesn't need to drink to feel this way; Cough Syrup is depicted as being perpetually intoxicated because of the alcohol that's inside of his syrup being too high out of a manufacturing error from the company. His drunken nature causes problems for him in the contests and with making friends and doing assignments. Cough Syrup sometimes lashes out at others when angered, showing him to be unstable and pushy.

Cough Syrup is displayed to have only a few amount of friends, as he is not liked by very many people in the series proper. It seems that Cough Syrup is vaguely aware of this fact, and realizes that he can't do much to fix this problem at hand. This showcases his character as slightly helpless and doubtful in his own worth, and it makes him almost pitiable in nature.
