Notable Cliques

    The Goth Kids 

Pete, Micheal, Henrietta and Firkle

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goths_6279.jpg
"If you wanna be one of the non-conformists, all you have to do is dress just like us and listen to the same music we do."

Voiced by: Trey Parker (Pete), Matt Stone (Michael), Jessica Makinson (Henrietta), Nico Agnone (Firkle, "Raisins", "You Got F'd in the A"), Sebastian Yu (Firkle, "Mysterion Rises")
Debut: "Raisins" (all of them)

Four kids who hang out behind the school smoking and talking about how life is full of pain. Oh, and they hate Twilight.

The red haired boy is Pete, the fat girl is Henrietta, the tall boy is Michael, and the kindergartner is Firkle.


  • Aerith and Bob: All of them but Firkle have typical, possibly even "conformist" names.
  • Ambiguously Brown: Michael's parents seem to be a white man and an Asian woman, but he's designed like any other white kid. A previous episode implied his parents are divorced, so maybe this was his stepmother, but he explicitly called her "mom". He may simply take after his father.
  • Angst: They all gripe about life being pain and misery as part of their gothic lifestyle, especially Michael and Henrietta, despite their lives not being depicted as very miserable at all.
  • Ax-Crazy: The smallest goth (Firkle), who worships Cthulhu and carries around a switchblade.
    Firkle: No one will stop Cthulhu now. All will be sadness. Life will become death, and I will watch the crimson blood leak from your neck!
    Michael: Dude, that little kid is hardcore goth!
    Pete: Hardcore goth!
  • Broken Pedestal: They used to worship Cthulhu, but soon realize that his presence didn't actually change the status quo.
    Mysterion: That god you pray to just took away all my friends.
    Pete: Not our god. He promised everything would change if we worshiped him, but we're still sitting here smoking cigarettes like before. It's like Obama all over again.
  • Character Tics: Pete often flips his hair in between sentences.
  • Connected All Along: Up until "Coon vs. Coon & Friends" there was no indication that Henrietta and Bradley were siblings.
  • A Day in the Limelight: "The Ungroundable" and "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers" (which even gives them their own version of the opening theme) make them the focus of the plot, both of which revolve around taking down a rival subculture.
  • Enfant Terrible: Firkle is a small child willing to kill Mysterion as part of his duty to Cthulhu.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Pete is against killing people in "Mysterion Rises".
  • Given Name Reveal: After about ten years of being nameless, the male Goth Kids are named in "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers". The taller one is Michael, the red-haired one is Pete, and the youngest one is Firkle. Henrietta's last name is also revealed to be "Biggle" in "Coon vs. Coon and Friends".
  • Goth: They're all stereotypical Goths, though Trey and Matt have Shown Their Work in regards to the nuances of the goth subculture though.
  • Goth Girls Know Magic: Henrietta is shown to keep a sacred tome in her room, filled with all sorts of knowledge about supernatural entities and such. It's taken a step further in The Fractured But Whole, where Henrietta is able to be recruited into the New Kid's team during and after the DLC Sidequest "From Dusk Till Casa Bonita", where she is arguably the best healer in the game.
  • Hypocritical Humor:
    • Most of their humor comes from being cookie-cutter stereotypes who, despite acting rebellious and nonconformist, look down on anyone who doesn't conform to them.
      "If you wanna be one of the non-conformists, all you have to do is dress just like us and listen to the same music we do."
    • In the episode "You Got F'd in the A", Stan is looking for recruits of his dance troupe and one by one the Goths refuse out of being non-conformist. However, Mike hesitates before proclaiming he is such a non-conformist he won't conform to his friends' expectations. He accepts Stan's offer and leaves the other Goth kids stunned:
      Henrietta: I think we just got put in our place.
      Pete: Yeah, we just got goth-served.
    • They spend all their time alone complaining about how full of pain life is, when their lives would actually be pretty good if they stopped moping and actually tried being happy. Stan realizes this when he joins them for an episode after Butters rejects their offer to join him.
  • Informed Deformity: Apparently Pete has pockmarks.
  • No Name Given: Initially all of them except Henrietta. Fan nicknames for the other three usually went along the lines of "Red Goth", "Tall Goth", and "Kindergoth". The Stick of Truth game, meanwhile, referred to Pete as "Hair Flip" in gameplay footage (until it was corrected for the final release). See Given Name Reveal. The official Twitter for the show also referred to the boys as "Hair Flip, "Tall Goth", and "Little Goth", shortly before their official names were revealed. An excerpt of the episode's script also used those placeholders.
  • Not Brainwashed: "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers" reveals that Henrietta and Firkle were not "brainwashed" into being emo. Firkle willingly switched sides out of defeatism while Henrietta switched over out of free will. She is embarassed when she realizes this and her friends instead go along with the ruse to have her save face.
  • Odd Friendship: Even after he stops being goth, Stan is occasionally seen to talk to the goth kids and it seems that he still gets along with them pretty well. They even give him advice in "Breast Cancer Show Ever".
  • One-Steve Limit: Michael's name was revealed in an episode also featuring the Vampire Kids, including their leader, the similarly named Mike Makowski.
  • Out-of-Character Moment:
    • In the South Park theme that plays before every episode, Henrietta and Pete can be seen smiling and waving happily.
    • Michael is probably the most sedate of the group, but had anger management problems in "T.M.I."
  • Shown Their Work: Despite a good chunk of the humor surrounding the goth kids coming from their depiction as walking stereotypes, Matt and Trey have been known to occasionally depict them as fairly accurate depictions (compared to most mainstream media, anyway) of the goth subculture. This ranges from their taste in music note , to the brand of dry/sarcastic humor found in some goths, the dislike of "posers" note , and in a rather odd way, displaying how members of the subculture differentiate themselves from other trends/subcultures that spawned from the original goth movement. Of course, this being South Park, it can be hard to differentiate the stereotype from the actual thing unless you have at least a decent understanding of what's being parodied.
  • Sibling Rivalry: Henrietta hates her younger brother Bradley and doesn't want to play with him when he asks her to, deeming him a dork.
  • Smoking Is Cool: They smoke frequently, deeming it a necessity of their subculture. When insulting the emos and vamp kids, they ask "Do you even smoke?"
  • The Smurfette Principle: Henrietta is the only girl in the group. Michael also brings the trope up in "You Got F'd in the A" when he suggests finding a girl in their dance troupe.
    Michael: We can't be a dance troupe with just guys, people will think we're fags.
  • Teeny Weenie: If "T.M.I." is to be believed, Michael may have a small penis.
  • Tranquil Fury: Michael is in anger management but the goths as a whole rarely raise their voices, suggesting that this is how he expresses anger.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Kidnapping a classmate to ship them to Arizona, worshipping Cthulhu and stabbing Mysterion, even embracing Goth subculture isn’t common until middle or high school.
  • True Companions: Despite the depressive vibe they try to give out, they do clearly care about and look out for each other. This also seems to extend to folks who used to be goth but left, given their Odd Friendship with Stan.
  • Vague Age: Due to his height, it's generally assumed that Michael is a few years older than Pete and Henrietta, but it's never stated.
  • Viewer Name Confusion: When Firkle's name was given on the show, fans had a few different ideas of how to spell it. The correct spelling comes from The Stick of Truth subtitles.
  • Vocal Evolution: Michael and Pete's voices were originally much higher and more nasal. By their third appearance they'd gotten noticeably deeper.
  • Wangst: Intentional. Henrietta constantly complains about the horrible things her parents do to her, such as...refusing to let her go to a concert because her aunt is coming over...and complaining about the clothes she wears. Her mother is shown as wonderfully loving, which suggests that her reasons for being goth are slightly whinier than the others. Her father is a bit more serious, though.
  • We Used to Be Friends: Downplayed, but it's implied that something happened between the events of Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole that caused them to have a falling out with the New Kid, as they behave at best somewhat dismissive, or at worst with bitter contempt, towards them. Which stands in high contrast to their treatment of Stan, who they're still on good terms with even after he left their group. Though they get somewhat more cordial with the New Kid after they help with their side quest in FBW, especially Henrietta, who becomes the New Kid's ally upon recruiting her in the DLC Side-Quest "From Dusk Till Casa Bonita", where she is shown to be a Support Party Member and arguably the best healer in the game.

    Raisins Girls 
"Welcome to Raisins! You having a good time?"

Voiced by: April Stewart, Mona Marshall, Eliza Schneider
Debut: "Raisins"

A group of slutty young girls who work at the Hooters-like restaurant Raisins.


    The Sixth Graders 

The Sixth Graders

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/south_park_s06e13c06_sixth_graders_16x9.jpg
"BOOBS!"

Voiced by: Rochelle Leffler (Leader)
Debut: "Clubhouses"

The Boys' bullies, led by a kid whose shirt has a picture of his face on it.


  • All Men Are Perverts: They all love boobs and porn.
  • The Bullies: To the main four boys and other kids.
    • In The Unaired Pilot, they force Cartman to eat his and the boys' hot tamales, and then try to beat them all up regardless after that.
    • In "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers", they try to steal the "Black Door Sluts 9" film from the boys and then try to beat them all up again when they fail.
    • in "Pre-School", they make a show of surrounding them with their bikes to scare them, and kick their attempts at a bribe away before forcing them to take a picture of Sharon's breasts in exchange for protection.
  • Dirty Coward: When Trent Boyett kicks their asses in "Pre-School", they confess that the boys paid them to beat him up, which only makes Trent more angry at them. In general, they only beat up the smaller kids, especially the "fourthies", and when parents show up, they either act docile or flat-out leave.
  • The Dreaded: The fourth graders are more scared of them than they are of Cartman. In "Pre-School", they're clearly terrified to be entering their domain.
  • Gang of Bullies: Aside from the leader, there are usually two other bullies flanking him, but some appearances have them as an extended gang.
  • Hormone Addled Teenagers: Try to take the adults' porno from the Boys once they learn they have it.
  • Non-Standard Character Design: While the leader is implied to be of Asian descent, the leader's eyes are slanted compared to the others.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers", though they chased the boys all the way to the video store, they all bail out after the parents show up.
  • Teens Are Monsters: Pre-teens, actually, but they're still total assholes. They did hold up their end of the bargain in "Pre-School" but had no problem ratting the boys out to Trent.

    The Kindergarten Class 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kindergarten.jpg
Filmore: If I'm elected class president, I'll call for big ol' chairs. And on Fridays, I'll add two minutes to nap time. Thank you.

Voiced by: Nico Agnone (Filmore, Seasons 4-10), various other children note 

These characters first appeared in Season 4 and are Ike's fellow peers. They were phased out over time and only rarely appear now (or when children of the staff or other young talent can be brought in to voice them).


  • Meaningful Name: One indecisive child is named "Flora", which the creators meant as a pun on "Florida" (due to the ballot confusion during the 2000 election).
    • Ike's opponent in the class president election is named Fillmore.
  • Out of Focus: In recent seasons, other than some minor background appearances.

"New Kids"

    Damien Thorn 

Damien Thorn

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/latest_5.jpg
"My arrival shall note the end of the Beginning, the beginning of the End, the new reign of my father!"

Voiced by: Matt Stone (first appearance), Trey Parker (The Stick of Truth)
Debut: "Damien"

Satan's son who was sent to South Park Elementary to destruct the school's property. He was hated on for being the son of the devil and exhibiting that persona very much, but it turned out he just wanted to be treated equally like the other kids.


  • Anti-Anti-Christ: As noted in his description, all the kids at school hated him for being Satan's son and showing off evil characteristics, but he just wanted acceptance after all.
  • A Day in the Limelight: "Damien". It's the only episode where he has a major role.
  • Evil Wears Black: Wears all black, and is as foreboding as you'd expect a child of Satan to be. But subverted, as he's not nearly as evil as people think, and really just wanted to have friends.
  • Forced Transformation: He turns Kenny into a duck-billed platypus. The kids are only mildly impressed.
  • Living Prop: After his debut, he was relegated to a background and still occasionally appears as one today. His only other speaking role came from The Stick of Truth game.
  • Lonely at the Top: Despite his unnerving appearance, he's really just a lonely kid who wanted friends.
  • Mind over Matter: When he gets angry, furniture starts flying.
  • Non-Standard Character Design: Much like Bill, Fosse and Terrance, he was drawn with large, thick eyebrows. Unlike those three, however, he (usually) retains those eyebrows whenever he makes a cameo in later episodes.
  • Playing with Fire: Casually torches the school playground equipment.
  • Retcon: Was implied to have went back to Hell with his father at the end of the episode, but still appears in the background at South Park Elementary.
  • Summon Magic: Opens a fissure in the Earth and calls forth shadowy demons to abuse Pip — just to get invited into Cartman's birthday party.
  • Vocal Evolution: His second speaking appearance in The Stick of Truth portrays him with a more mature voice that sounds drastically different from the high-pitched voice he once had.

"I guess you win, huh, big shot?! If you really are any kind of important to anybody, then get your bullshit food critic ass to the south of town and face me! Because you aren't a food critic, and you aren't important!"

Voiced by: Matt Stone

David is a Mexican-American student introduced in Season 19.


  • Demoted to Extra: He becomes a Living Prop in some episodes after Season 19 and doesn't even have any lines as well.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: He makes his debut in "The Last of the Meheecans" as a Mexican child trying to break a Mantequilla pinata. He also had a non-speaking cameo as a Syrian refugee child during Kyle's speech at the end of "Stunning and Brave".
  • Flat Character: At least so far.
  • Living Prop: He only makes background appearances in episodes after Season 19, as stated in Demoted to Extra.
  • Phrase Catcher: "Do you ride you tiny bicicleta to school?," from Cartman.
  • Run for the Border: Subverted; it's mentioned that he moved to South Park from some place awful, where people tend to settle disputes with their fists. He's from Boise, Idaho, not Mexico.
  • Sixth Ranger: During season 19, he hung out with the four boys quite often.
  • Starving Student: Kind of; in his debut episode, he had to keep Cartman and the other Yelpers happy so that his family's new restaurant didn't fail.
  • Stranger in a Strange School: He's still getting used to some of the oddball characters.
  • Sudden Name Change: The show's official Twitter said his last name was "Teelez" after his debut, but a few episodes later, it was given as "Rodriguez".
  • Token Minority: Part of his purpose in Season 19 is to show that South Park has become more multicultural since the PC trend started.

    Sophie Gray 

Sophie Gray

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4th_graders_sophie_gray.png
Voiced by: Becca Scott
Debut: "Basic Cable"

A new girl from Scottsdale. She has diabetes and likes The Mandalorian. Due to her having diabetes, she instantly becomes the target of Scott Malkinson's affections.


  • Class Princess: Despite her diabetes, she quickly becomes popular at school. But she is also very kind and has no hidden meanness.
  • Dude Magnet: Her interest in all things Star Wars-related (barring the latest trilogy), causes every boy in school to try and court her, much to Scott's chagrin. She even manages to start a rivalry between the otherwise tightly-knit goth kids.
  • Fangirl: One of the first things she mentions when introducing herself is her love for Star Wars, especially The Mandalorian, which she tries to watch with Scott.
  • Motherly Side Plait: Her hair looks strikingly similar to this.
  • New Kid Stigma: Averted. Everyone at the school is taking her surprisingly well. Even Cartman.
  • Nice Girl: Despite not having any interest in any of the boys, she does eventually warm up to Scott over their diabetes.
  • Proper Tightswitha Skirt: Unlike the other girls, she wears a skirt and pantyhose instead of pants and generally gives the impression of a modest girl.
  • Satellite Love Interest: Inverted. She tells Scott that there's more to her than her diabetes, to which he can only weakly respond that his entire character is nothing but diabetes.
    Sophie: Scott, I'm more than just my diabetes.
    Scott: (Sadly) ...Well, I'm not. (Beat) ...I'm Scott Malkinson.

"It's really tough being in a totally new place, but I think all you guys are really cool so... I understand if there's initiation rites."

Voiced by: Kyle Mcculloch

The first Mormon character on South Park. He tries to befriend Stan fairly quickly.


  • The Ace: Is both smart and athletic, doesn't let the other kids' teasing get to him, and probably the nicest kid, nay, person, in all of South Park.
  • All-Loving Hero: Arguably the nicest character in the entire series, able to forgive teasing or threats, and see the good side to everything.
  • Good Is Not Soft: Coming from Gary, this line is actually quite shocking and powerful, to the point that even Cartman is proud of it:
    "You’ve got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls."
  • Mistaken for Gay: Cartman and Kyle keep referring to him as Stan's boyfriend, though presumably more as teasing than anything.
  • Nice Guy: He's such a friendly dude, he's impossible to bully, and it almost intimidates the other children.
  • One-Shot Character: Only appeared in "All About Mormons".
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: One of the most awesome moments in the episode. After Stan criticised his family and Mormon religion. Gary gives Stan a powerful speech next morning at the end of the episode how exactly he feels and points out his flaws, it ends with all of them speechless and Cartman praising him.
    Gary: Look, maybe us Mormons believe in crazy stories that makes absolutely no sense, and maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up. But I have a great life and a great family, and I have the Book of Mormon to thank for that. The truth is, I don't care if Joseph Smith made it all up because what the church teaches now is loving your family, being nice, and helping people. And even though people in this town might think that's stupid, I still choose to believe in it. All I ever did was to try and be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls.

    Gregory of Yardale 

Gregory of Yardale

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/latest_86.jpg
"I must say, I don't think I belong with these rogues. I attended school at Yardale, and had a 4.0 grade point average."

Voiced in English by: Trey Parker (speaking), Howard McGillin (singing)
Voiced in French by: Mathias Kozlowski

An English boy who transferred to South Park from Yardale.


  • The Ace: He had a 4.0 grade point average during his attendance at school in Yardale. He seems to be far more politically competent than Stan as shown in the La Resistance meeting at Carl's Warehouse.
  • Character Development: A subtle example. The first time he tries to give the class a political lecture, he comes across as a buzzkill and is ignored by everyone except Wendy, and later it's Cartman who briefly gets everyone to listen to him by singing Kyle's Mom is a Bitch. The second time, he seems to have learnt from this and sways everyone to his side by singing La Resistance, motivating the entire team to action.
  • Child Prodigy: Even more well-versed in politics than Wendy, and a superb skater and student.
  • Dude Where Is My Respect: For his work in assembling La Resistance and helping save Terrance & Phillip, he's rewarded with Wendy going back to Stan and saying "Fuck (Gregory) right in the ear".
  • Hidden Depths: He doesn't share the boys' love for crass humor, but he steps up to defend Terrance and Phillip out of a genuine passion for the idea of free speech.
  • Hidden Heart of Gold: Despite his disparaging of the other kids while they're all in swearing rehab, and generally coming off as a ponce, he takes charge in La Résistance and plans out the rescue of Terrance & Phillip. It's clear that Stan only hates him because he is a rival for Wendy's affection.
  • Kick the Dog:
    • He's introduced throwing snow (with barf on it) in Stan's face while skating up to Wendy.
    • Saying that Stan was never cut out for the job of rescuing Terrance & Phillip, and calling him a "boy", even though Stan and the boys had actually managed to save the two despite difficulties, and it's only because of the unexpected Canadian airstrike that he lost them again. This alone got Wendy disillusioned with him.
  • Love Interest: Of Wendy. She becomes interested in him after they realize they both share similar political views, get good grades, and have great intelligence. She eventually abandons Stan for him, and her attempts to get Stan back fail after he vomits on her every time she comes near him.
  • No-Respect Guy: Everybody except for Wendy ignores his advice, and by the end of the movie, even Wendy tells Stan that she had never cared for Gregory.
  • No Sympathy: When Stan is knocked out by an explosion, Gregory only admonishes him for failing his mission, instead of being concerned for his health.
  • One-Shot Character: Only appears in the movie.
  • Only One Name: His last name was never given. To add extension to his name, he is occasionally referred to as "Gregory of Yardale".
  • Precision F-Strike: On the receiving end from Cartman for being such a goody two shoes.
    Gregory: I attended school at Yardale and had a 4.0 grade point average.
    Cartman: You're a fucking faggot, dude.
  • The Leader: After Stan struggles with the leader role, Gregory takes his place and becomes this for La Resistance.
  • The Rival: Of Stan; due to him hanging around his girlfriend all the time, jealousy ensues. However, Gregory doesn't play any deliberately antagonistic role in the movie, as he actually helps the kids form the La Résistance organization to prevent Terrence and Philip's execution.
  • Romantic False Lead: Wendy doesn't care for him anymore at the end of the movie.

    Mark and Rebecca Cotswolds 

Mark and Rebecca Cotswolds

Voiced by: Trey Parker (Mark) and Mary Kay Bergman (Rebecca)

Two homeschooled children who develop an interest in attending real elementary school after meeting the other South Park kids.

  • Beware the Nice Ones: Despite spending most of the episode getting pushed around, Mark proves he has some bite by beating up Kyle for supposedly corrupting his sister.
  • Bubble Boy: The first time Mark arrives to elementary school, he goes in a giant hamster ball.
  • Character Tics: Rebecca bites her lips and clasps her hands together in most of her scenes. When she spells, she whispers the letters into her hand first.
  • Child Prodigy: Both of them are incredibly smart, spelling complicated words at the spelling bee without a care. Rebecca is also able to replicate brain surgery despite being only eight.
  • Corrupt the Cutie: After kissing Kyle, Rebecca goes from a sweet nerdy girl to a promiscuous "whore" who flirts with every boy at the dance.
  • Ditzy Genius: Both of them are among the most academically brilliant students in South Park, but seriously lack social skills and are thus very naive.
  • Homeschooled Kids: Their defining character trait. As a result, they're quite brilliant, but lack the basic social skills necessary to get through life.
  • Literal-Minded: When Kyle asks Rebecca to go to the dance, she thinks he's just asking her to go by herself, not go as a date.
    Kyle: Rebecca, there's this dance, see, the South Park Elementary Bay Of Pigs Memorial Dance, and uh, now I was wondering if you wanna go.
    Rebecca: Hhm. Alright, I guess I'll go.
    Kyle: You will?
    Rebecca: I guess. Are you gonna go? Maybe I'll see you there.
    Kyle: No no. I mean, go with me.
    Rebecca: Oh, I'm sure Father will give me a ride. [walks away]
  • My Girl Is Not a Slut: Despite being attracted to her for most of the episode, Kyle is horrified to see Rebecca turn promiscuous after their dance.
  • No Social Skills: They both frequently miss social cues when interacting with other children. Mark doesn't understand why friends would be mean to each other or recognize when he's being bullied, and Rebecca doesn't understand when Kyle flirts with her.
  • Oblivious to Love: Rebecca doesn't recognize Kyle's attempts to flirt with her for most of the episode. Justified in that she doesn't understand the idea of love.
  • One-Shot Character: Downplayed with Mark, who only had a major appearance in this episode, but appears in crowd shots in later seasons. Rebecca, however, never appeared after this episode in any capacity.
  • What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: When Kyle brings up the subject of love, Rebecca has no idea what it is. Her closest understanding of romance is the expectancy that her "provider" will select a "mate" for her to "increase the herd."

He... divorced my mom, s-said he'd still be around, but I only see him at Christmas time now. S-sh-shit! S-sh-shit! The worst part is I know how lonely my mom is. A lot of times I know she'd be better off if I was dead."

Voiced by: Matt Stone

A boy with Tourette's Syndrome that causes him to blurt out obscenities. Because of this, Cartman is influenced by his ability to get away with swearing harshly in front of everyone and fakes Tourette's Syndrome to do so.


  • Exhausted Eye Bags: Has bags under his eyes. From this it can be assumed that he doesn't get much sleep, possibly due to his Tourette's Syndrome.
  • Hollywood Tourette's: Deconstructed. His Tourette's Syndrome manifests with him swearing randomly, which the other kids (especially Cartman, who begins mimicking the condition as an excuse to swear, and Craig) find cool. However, Thomas finds this embarrassing and it causes him and his family much mental distress. The episode also features other characters with Tourette's who have tics other than swearing.
  • One-Shot Character: Only appeared in "Le Petite Tourette".
  • Only One Name: His last name was never given in "Le Petite Tourette".
  • Only Sane Man: He's the only one besides Kyle to realize that Cartman's faking his Tourette's and is worried that Cartman's actions will encourage others to start faking it to get away with saying horrible things.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: Often swears uncontrollably due to his Tourette's.

"What evil plot do you have this time, Professor Chaos?"

Voiced In English by: Trey Parker
Voiced in French by: Marie-Laure Beneston

Younger nerdier friend of Butters. Joins the latter in his quest to destroy the world after being rejected by the other kids, under the alias of Professor Chaos' minion, General Disarray.


  • Blind Without 'Em: Implied in South Park: Phone Destroyer. After he's defeated in Stage 24 and his defeat animation shows him losing his glasses, he sends a misspelled message in the group chat saying he can't find them.
  • Butt-Monkey: Was rejected and labeled a "Melvin" similar to Butters.
  • Children Are Innocent: Like Butters and Pip, he's one of the few kids on the show who acts like a more realistic child and rarely swears or engages in age-inappropriate activity. Helps that he's two years younger than the regular cast.
  • Cute Bookworm: An adorable nerdy little boy who likes math.
  • The Dragon: To Butters/Professor Chaos. He plays the role as the latter's partner in crime, General Disarray.
  • Fanboy: Dougie is shown to be a fan of The Simpsons and can remember the episode numbers and recap the premise of each show.
  • Fan of the Underdog: His friendship with Butters, and to a lesser extent Pip, probably counts as this, since they're both similarly unpopular kids.
  • Hidden Depths: Dougie wants to become a news reporter when he grows up since they get to wear cool jackets.
  • Minion with an F in Evil: Mostly. He's actually sometimes more savvy than Butters at times, but still pretty clueless for the most part.
  • Nerd Glasses: A Cute Bookworm who likes math and possesses a savant knowledge of The Simpsons, Dougie wears circular glasses defining his geeky and nerdy personality.
  • Youthful Freckles: He sports freckles that along with his ginger hair and Nerd Glasses give the impression that he fits the nerd and geek archetypes.

"What do you think this is, kid? TV kiddy hour where we all sit around and lick Barney the dinosaur's fucking pussy? Huh? This is real life, with consequences you take to the grave!"

Voiced in English by: Trey Parker
Voiced in French by: Daniel Lafourcade

A bitter French nine-year-old boy with an intense hatred of God. An expert in covert operations.


  • Back from the Dead: Although it's only a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot, he makes a reappearance in "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub" where he's shown on Late Night with Conan O'Brien while Stan flips through channels. This implies that he was resurrected after Kenny's wish in The Movie for everything to go back to normal.
  • Big Ol' Eyebrows: Has noticeably thicker eyebrows than most of the characters.
  • Died in Your Arms Tonight: He dies in Kyle's arms.
  • Expy: Suspiciously similar to Grantaire from Les Misérables. His death also brings to mind that of Eponine from the same musical.
  • French Jerk: He's French, and hates God.
  • The Napoleon: He's even described as small and bitter in the movie's script.
  • One-Shot Character: The Movie is practically his only appearance in the entire South Park franchise. His only reappearance was an extremely brief cameo in "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub".
  • Politically Incorrect Hero: Hates God and isn't afraid to show it.
  • Rage Against the Heavens: He constantly hates God, who he calls the "biggest bitch of them all." It's one of his defining traits as a character.
  • Smoking Is Cool: Is always shown with a cigarette in his mouth, despite not being of legal age to smoke.
  • Tunnel King: He digs his way to free Terrance and Phillip, but Cartman fails to shut off the alarm in time and he is mauled by guard dogs.

"Per se"

Voiced by: Trey Parker

The leader of the “Vamp Kids” clique, who usually only appears in plot lines related to the Goth Kids.


  • Character Catchphrase: “Per se.” Said with a pronounced lisp.
  • A Day in the Limelight: “The Ungroundable” and “Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers.” Also the DLC for Fractured But Whole.
  • Depending on the Writer: Whether or not Mike really buys into the vampire mythology, or how seriously he takes his role as a “vamp.”
  • A Lighter Shade of Black: The Goth Kids’ main problem with him and his group. They’re much less cynical and more wholesome than the Goths.
  • Uncertain Doom: At the end of his first appearance, he is physically shipped in a box to Scottsdale, AZ. This process would likely kill someone, and for a while it’s unclear if it did kill Mike, but he reappears in the background of “Butterballs” a few seasons later. He makes his return as a speaking character in “Goth Kids 3.”

Debut: "Stanley's Cup"

An ill-fated member of the Pee Wee hockey team. Nelson has terminal cancer, but tries his best to stay positive, even as it's clear he doesn't have long to live.


  • The Cutie: He's lost his hair from chemotherapy, but that doesn't make him any less cute.
  • Determinator: He's clearly weak from his cancer when we first meet him, and seems to be going through chemotherapy, but is still playing hockey. He soon gets worse, though, and eventually has to be hospitalized.
  • Death by Despair: He succumbs to his illness when his team loses. "No hope..."
  • Kill the Cutie: He doesn't make it.
  • Littlest Cancer Patient: He soon ends up in the hospital when his cancer becomes terminal, and really wants Stan to win the big game for him. Sadly, he dies when he sees his team lose to the Red Wings.
  • 13 Is Unlucky: His jersey number is 13.

"I joined the basketball team. I gave up singing and dancing forever. I'm just not into it."

Voiced by: Trey Parker

A third grader who has seen High School Musical over 100 times and is an extremely talented singer and dancer. Despite this however, singing and dancing aren't his hobbies; he really wants to play basketball instead.


  • Abusive Parents: His dad always beats him up for choosing to be a basketball player instead of a singer and dancer until the end of his episode. His mom, however, is an aversion and tries her best to protect him from his dad's cruel punishments and ridicules.
  • The Ace: There doesn't appear to be anything he's bad at. Despite hating musical theater because his father forced him into it, his mere presence (and the kids' High School Musical fandom) causes the other students to spontaneously break into song and dance. All the girls like him despite him being a year younger, and he can shoot free throws effortlessly. On the other hand, he's an Extreme Doormat until the climax of his episode.
  • Ambiguously Gay: Despite all the girls ceaselessly fantasizing about him, he returns no interest in them whatsoever (though this could be because singing and dancing aren't his hobbies despite him being talented at both). Furthermore, his last name Gueermo is pronounced and spelled similarly to "Queermo"note , and his dad shows off effeminate characteristics. Though, a cut sidequest in The Stick of Truth has him telling the New Kid to give Annie a letter from him, saying that he has a thing for her and he cannot get her out of his mind.
  • Broken Ace: Despite his ace qualities, he has an abusive father to deal with.
  • The Casanova: All the girls at school have a crush on him because he's seen High School Musical over 100 times and is thus really good at singing and dancing.
  • Expy: He's a parody of Troy Bolton from the High School Musical films.

"Mom, Dad! I made a friend today!"

Voiced by: Trey Parker
Debut: "You Have 0 Friends"

A boy who felt lonely for being a friendless Facebook user. That was, until Kyle sent him a friend request.

  • Cool Kid-and-Loser Friendship: Develops one with Kyle after he felt sympathetic for him having no friends throughout his six months as a Facebook user. Unfortunately, this causes Kyle to lose his popularity status among his friends.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: He gets all of Stan's friends at the end.

  • Butt-Monkey: All of his appearances saw him get the short end of the stick.
  • Gag Lips: Has unusually plump prominent lips.
  • Killed Off for Real: He gets shot by a man who had somehow mistaken him for the man who had an affair with his wife, despite the said man being 40 years old and a trucker.
  • Mauve Shirt: He didn’t get much characterization outside of being a ginger.
  • Only Sane Man: The only ginger kid to point out that Cartman only ended his campaign against non-gingers in "Ginger Kids" after finding out he wasn’t ginger.
  • Youthful Freckles: Like all ginger kids, he has freckles.

Voiced in English by: Mickey Ramos

Debut: "The Ring"

Kenny's one-time girlfriend, who once gave another boy a "BJ" in the parking lot of a T.G.I. Friday's after listening to the Jonas Brothers.


  • Fangirl: Is one of The Jonas Brothers, and so she has Kenny wear a purity ring once they start to promote them.
  • Good Bad Girl: Yes, she gave both Kenny and another boy blowjobs, but she feels bad about it.
  • Informed Poverty: Her family is apparently even poorer than Kenny's, though "The Poor Kid" seems to ignore this.
  • My Girl Is a Slut: The other boys tell Kenny about her giving someone a BJ, thinking that he'll dump her, but he's overjoyed.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Seems to regret having given a blowjob to another kid before dating Kenny, and therefore asks him to wear a purity ring after the Jonas Brothers concert, only to change her mind later, before Kenny dies of syphilis.

  • Slut-Shaming: Everyone in school except for Kenny thinks that what she did in the T.G.I. Friday's parking lot is horrible. Of course, she's ten.

    Larry Feegan 

Larry Feegan

Voiced by: Matt Stone

A timid lifejacket-wearing boy who is frequently picked on by the other kids in school for being made to live a vegan lifestyle by his parents and later befriends Shelly when she stands up for him.


  • Butt-Monkey: He's forced by his parents to live a vegan lifestyle, which gets him no shortage of bullying by the other kids in school who refer to him as "Feegan the Vegan".
  • Dare to Be Badass: After Shelly stands up to his parents for him, Larry is inspired to forego both his veganism and his lifejacket. He also mentions in his song that he's also now standing up for himself more.
  • Ironic Death: Larry was always forced to wear a life preserver and took it off to prove his independence. He drowns during Randy's disastrous attempt to stop the show.
  • Nice Guy: He doesn't seem to have a mean bone in his body, but was too timid to ever stand up for himself before Shelly did.
