Mordecai

Mordecai is a protagonist and a member of The New Action Squad.

## **BIOGRAPHY**

He and Rigby have been friends since they were babies. They sometimes hang out with each other along with Rigby's younger brother, Don. Mordecai had many embarrassing moments during his life, especially with his mother who embarrassed him in front of girls he invited to his house and record his embarrassing moments. He is also an artist although he failed in portrait art as the art he drew was terrible that the girl he drew cried and running away. It made worse with Sad Sax Guy giving wrong advice in his art.

Outside of the Park, he is also a member of The New Action Squad.

## **APPEARANCE**

Mordecai is a 6'0" tall (6'3" including his crest), skinny and anthropomorphic blue jay. He was 23 when the series began. He was 29 when the series ends

The upper portion of his head, wings, tail feathers and back are mostly blue, while the lower portion of his head and chest are white (and a few times pale-blue) with a faint, blue line down the length of his chest. A thick, curved black marking is on each side of his head, around where his ears *would be*.Two white lines are found on both of his wings with two thinner, black lines on each of his fingers and one stripe of each of his thumbs, and three tail feathers, each with two black stripes. Mordecai's legs are grey with black stripes across the width and two toes. Like most blue jays, he has curved, crested blue feathers, or "hair", on his head.

## **PERSONALITY**

Mordecai is mild-mannered, laid-back, and big-hearted. Like Rigby, he lacks clothing, plays video games, sings karaoke, and drinks copious amounts of coffee and soda. Of the duo of two main characters, Mordecai displays far more patience, responsibility, and intelligence than Rigby does. Although almost every problem caused by the duo is Rigby's fault, Mordecai does cause problems at times, though they are unrelated to work. An example is in "The Unicorns Have Got to Go" when Mordecai tries to attract Margaret with DudeTime but ends up attracting a group of ill-mannered, lazy, and irresponsible unicorns that wreak havoc. Mordecai puts up with Rigby's laziness and immaturity, once even filling out a job application for Rigby because he claimed it was "boring." Mordecai tends to be more sociable, friendly and serious than Rigby and has much more manageable relationships with others. Although Mordecai naturally despises work, he strives to keep a good reputation, once almost losing his life to avoid being labeled as a slacker, and vouching for extra work to pay for concert tickets. Unlike Rigby, Mordecai doesn't talk about or openly express himself or his feelings. Therefore, Mordecai's most obvious shortcoming is his inability to engage his love interests by speaking his heart. Whenever he was around his crush, Margaret, he would often stutter or lose focus. In spite of this, he often made up excuses to go to The Coffee Shop just to see her. He is a serious person and wants people to do the right thing. It is also proven that he is fond of the word "dude" and the saying "OOOOOOOH!," as he and Rigby often exclaim, although they do stop saying this when they get older as seen in the finale.
