Character Name: Boober Fraggle Series: Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock Timeline: Post-Season 1, Episode 13: "All of Us" Canon Resource Links:Muppet Wiki page for Back to the Rock
Personality: Boober is a Fraggle, and with that comes a love of a music and a playful nature... But Boober embodies these inherently Fraggle-ish traits differently than others. His playfulness comes mostly comes forth in sassy body language and snarky little remarks, and while he does enjoy music, he'd much prefer a sad and soulful ballad than an upbeat chorus. He's unique among his friends, and he's very aware of this fact. It's a sore spot, and he feels uncomfortable in what he sees as his weirdness, especially early on: This is most clearly shown through his glow. The fuzzy end of Boober's tail, called his baloobious, glows with light whenever he's being his truest self. He's not the only Fraggle to have this trait, but it is uncommon-- And for most of his life, Boober thought it was just he who glowed. Meeting a more traveled and learned Fraggle known as the Archivist taught Boober that he was not alone, and that his glow was not weird but instead special.
Boober likes to try foreseeing every possible negative outcome to give himself a sense of security. This means he's quite the worrywart, especially since he doesn't usually entertain the idea that something good can happen. His fear can overwhelm him, but he's slowly learning that just because its present, doesn't mean he has to let it rule him. Still, this is another way he's different, and it's harder to put a positive spin on that for the little guy. In fact, feeling like he doesn't stack up to other Fraggles, in terms of happiness or helpfulness. is a reoccurring theme with Boober, and the reason his insecurities persist.
Though Boober is generally quiet and more introverted, he's a loyal friend who wants to be of value and use to others. He loves being able to provide for others with food and general hospitality, although this can cross the line into inconvenience for the somewhat grumpy Fraggle. But he does pride himself on his skills with cooking and laundry, and because of these two passions he places high importance on neatness, organization, and cleanliness.

Victory Road Sample: Boober sighed as he rubbed his shins, then glanced down at the sleeping Volbeat next to him... If he was aching after their training, Archie should be much worse off, and yet he was peacefully snoozing away. Pokemon really were pretty amazing. Still, even having realized that-- Well, he didn't think he was ready for Archie to fight other Pokemon unless absolutely necessary. And so, their current training regimen. It was really just Archie tackling and diving at Boober while Boober tried to evade. His partner was probably having to hold back, which wasn't very productive. But Archie, for all his fighting spirit, was still a bug, right? It just seemed foolish to send him out against other, more formidable Pokemon. Especially the bird-like ones, and there were so many of those!
But as he sat by the fire that night, Boober couldn't help wondering if he was being overly-cautious. He did do that, after all! Maybe he was even projecting a little...? Or a lot. He was so scared being here, in a foreign place with a foreign form for his body. Archie had always been in this world, though. and he wanted to fight. He believed in himself! Maybe Boober should do the same, and put his fear on the back burner. But that was easier said than done.
Archie looked so peaceful sleeping right now. It was hard to imagine him as the tough, powerful creature he clearly saw himself as... But wouldn't he know? Boober leaned over to pat the Volbeat on the head, and when he stirred and opened one eye, Boober found himself smiling.
"Sorry, bud, I didn't mean to wake you up. But... Um, maybe you'll be glad I did. I've been thinking, and... Well, tomorrow we'll buy some potions and other medicine, and then you can do some training. Real training, okay?"
Archie beamed, tail aglow, and let out a cry of delight. And really... Seeing that was worth feeling the fear.
