[Prologue]
Main Characters:
Blossom: The 12 year old daughter of Gumball and Penny. Like her father, she is a blue cat and takes after him in appearance and in her overactive imagination. For her normal attire she wears faded blue jeans, a red sweatshirt, and always has a red flower blossom behind her right ear. Like her mother, she is responsible and optimistic, this puts her in stark contrast with her brother, Jake, who is lazy and irresponsible, often putting her in predicaments where she must team up with him in order to get out of trouble.
She struggles socially due to her perfectionist nature making her appear arrogant and narcissistic which clashes with the other students of Elmore Junior High. She is outcast and bullied by the rest of the students but tries to keep a positive attitude most of the time. She likes to tell everyone she can handle anything but more often than not, she only finds success with the combined strength of her family and friends.
For the most part, she is kind and caring but often struggles with handling situations appropriately, especially when infuriated by her brother's actions. Her desire to help those in need has led to her befriending some of the other social outcasts at school.
She has a crush on one of the students, Michael, a handsome blue dog, and has a very difficult time communicating with him due to her social awkwardness and her inability to admit her feelings.
Jake: The 10 year old son of Gumball and Penny. Like his mother, he is a yellow shapeshifting fairy. Also like his mother, he wears no articles of clothing, allowing him to shapeshift at will. Most of the time he is lazy, irresponsible, and has a tendency to enjoy pranking other students and his sister. His personality often clashes with his sister and the two of them usually end up disagreeing and fighting over the pettiest of things. He typically responds to people and situations with sarcasm and indifference.
He tries to fit in by acting cool and succeeds for the most part, deep down however, he is known to have a soft spot and feels very insecure when people act negative towards him. Unlike his sister, he craves attention and usually goes to great lengths to seek approval from his peers, even if it is at the cost of abandoning his sister.
Despite his laziness and selfish tendencies, he shows great care and affection for those close to him. When sufficiently motivated, he can be surprisingly helpful and even team up with his sister if the occasion calls for it. Like his mother, he is a shapeshifter and often uses his forms for mischievous deeds and to get out of trouble. He appears to have learned how to master the use of his shapeshifting powers from his mother and is now able to do so at will.
Gumball: Penny's husband and the biological father of Blossom and Jake. Having learned many lessons from his childhood experiences, Gumball has grown tremendously as a person. Having learned the values of humility and patience, he acts as the perfect guide to his daughter who frequently runs into situations he has already been through and conquered, making him a great giver of advice. Like his mother, Nicole, he is the main breadwinner for the Watterson family while Penny is a stay-at-home mother. He works at Chanax Inc. as a salesman. His normal attire includes a green jacket, a grey t-shirt, and dark jeans. He has facial hair on his chin which he keeps lightly shaven.
Having matured since he was a kid, Gumball has become more patient, kind, and responsible than he previously was. Driven by his desire to provide for his family, he often goes above and beyond when it comes to making sure the house is maintained and everything inside is working properly. Although he still has an affinity for television, video games, and junk food, he still stands as a good role model for his children, providing them with wise advice and emotional support when they need it.
Gumball loves family more than anything and always tries to give them the best life possible, even if it means inconveniencing himself.
Penny: Gumball's wife and the biological mother of Blossom and Jake. Not having changed much from when she was a kid, she is smart, capable, and athletic, traits which her daughter, Blossom, has inherited. Due to her similarities with her daughter, the two of them often bond over like-minded activities such as jogging, tennis, and board games, whereas Jake and Gumball bond over television, food, and movies. She is the most kind and positive member of her family and often stands as their moral compass when trouble brews.
She is a stay at home mother, and works tirelessly to keep the house clean and her children fell fed. She is an excellent rolemodel and always strives to be a good example for her children. She is kindhearted, loving, and gentle but on rare occasions she can be provoked to anger. When correcting her family she prefers a more positive approach. In certain situations, she can be overly-optimistic, making her appear naive. In this regard, she stands in contrast to her husband who prefers a more grounded and realistic outlook.
Penny has an awkward relationship with Gumball's mother, Nicole, as she often struggles to muster the nerve to do what is necessary to scold her family when the time calls for it, a fact that Nicole often notices and chastises her for.
Penny has mastered the ability to shapeshift at will regardless of her mood. She appears to have taught this skill to her son, Jake, as the two of them can shapeshift whenever they please.
Minor Characters:
Nicole: Gumball's mother and the grandmother to Blossom and Jake. Due to her aging, her fur has gotten slightly more grey. She still wears the same brown skirt and white top she normally wears. She continues to work at the Rainbow Factory but is nearing retirement, a fact that has her greatly excited as she longs to be able to finally do what she wants for the rest of her life.
She continues to be a positive rolemodel for the family and is the first one to answer the call whenever Gumball and Penny need a babysitter, and idea which Blossom bemoans due to her confidence in being able to take care of the house by herself.
Her style of parenting conflicting with Gumball's often leads to situations where Blossom and Jake are frustrated due to having their freedom restricted, whereas Gumball usually lets his kids do as they please.
Richard: Gumball's father and the grandfather to Blossom and Jake. Like Nicole, he has also aged in appearance though still wears the same clothes. His personality and social awkwardness has remained the same from when Gumball is younger. Despite this, his outgoing and loving personality makes him an easy fan favorite for his grandchildren, who enjoy having fun with him whereas Nicole is strict and more parental.
His irresponsibility often leads to him putting Gumball and Penny's family and unfavorable predicaments, though his creative problem solving usually allows him to help in some form or another.
Andy: A 13 year old orange and black fox. Considered by many, including himself, to be the biggest nerd in school, he collects action figures, video games, movie merchandise, and cosplay outfits.

This leads to him constantly pranking and trying to get back at her. He seems to be popular with the kids but he constantly takes advantage of people he is friends with in an attempt to get them to do his work.
