Caillou Desperaux

Caillou in Caillou SC

**Caillou Desperaux is the main protagonist for the Caillou SC and SC2 Series**

## Biography

Caillou lives a rather abnormal life, with his parents, two little sisters, and his cat Gilbert. Caillou is a parody version of the PBS character *Caillou*.

Growing up as the elder child, Caillou often had struggles with his behavioral issues in the past, often being associated and running with the bad crowd. Up until that point, when his sisters became a target for bullies, and other people who brought them harm because of his negligence. That experience hardened Caillou to a path in his life where he must be there and protect his family especially his siblings and to grow up and be the role model that he can for them. Though he often looks back on that life and thinks about why he did the things he did to as much as people's request and wished he truly understood himself better, than what people forced him to do.

Caillou supports his siblings and encourages his friends, such as Ellery Cross, Kiran Patel, & Gina Degaldo to be there for them so harm won't come their way. Caillou has a strong bond with Lolli the Witch to help ensure that they would be protected at all costs.

## Appearance

Caillou originally had no hair, but people requested Classy to put brown-reddish hair on Caillou as that became the symbol of his new life. He has dark colored eyes. He often wears a yellow shirt with a red stripe, or a red rugby shirt with long sleeves.

## Personality

Caillou has much of a straightforward personality as he grew up out of being a troublemaker, as he often respects and treats everyone fairly except for people who often are a cause for trouble, such as Dora. He is also protective of the ones he cares about, and will put himself in front of anyone who tries to be antagonistic toward them.

## Relationship with Emma

"The two sharing a moment together."

Caillou has a love interest in one of his classmates known as, Emma Shinoda a childhood friend of who he thinks, and writes about a lot in his personal diary. She is the only girl for him that he has feelings for and wonders if she has feelings for him. Although Caillou struggles to get the words out at times, he often gets help and advice from his youngest sister Daisy who is an expert with relationships to get the key to Emma's heart. This is then proven to be a success as he admitted in his confession to her about how he wanted to have lunch with her as he wanted to be there and care for her when nobody else couldn't, thus making her totally speechless with emotion, kissing Caillou's cheek and hugging him.

Emma was unaware of Caillou's home life, especially with how his abusive father is towards him, she is worried about Caillou's safety though Caillou told Emma to not worry about him.

"The two post-confession"

## Relationship with Rosie and Daisy

Throughout the Grounded series, Caillou has always been rude or jealous of his sisters getting more attention from his parents and having no problem making them miserable and hurting them for discipline.

After seeing Rosie get hurt by Rita in Dora's New Classmate Part 2, he decided to be nice and protective of both his sisters

## Relationship with His Parents

Caillou has an estranged relationship with his parents, especially his father Boris. His father is often irrational and verbally abusive to Caillou which often leaves the two bickering back and forth. Caillou doesn't really associate with his mother Doris as she often takes her frustrations out on his sisters by pushing them beyond their limits as well as belittling them.

## Trivia

* Initially, Caillou started out having no hair but as of the series finale, he started growing hair to symbolize his change in lawfulness. In Caillou SC1 he went back to having no hair due to it being a soft reboot. As of seasonal depression, he got hair due to fans' concern about why Caillou was suddenly bald.
* Not to be confused with Caillou from the *Annual Request Video Series*. As that rendition of Caillou is not Caillou Desperaux from the mainline Grounded and SC series.
