yoyoboy: (Talking While Sad)

Revised! But I'm worried about this one...

Personality: As the youngest sibling of the Clarks, Tony is known to be the no-nonsense and hyperactive go-getter of the family. And the "no-nonsense" part isn't for show as he is dedicated and always ready to go with his job as a WOOHP spy. This is shown where Tony always demands some gadgets first after their mission briefing. But it can only be applied to any WOOHP mission as he sometimes ignores any classes or his own homework to wait for a new mission for him to tackle on.

However, his no-nonsense dedication can be also a catalyst for his impatience and impulsiveness as he often relies on his common sense and intuition and is unable to think about the consequences before he acts. Not only that, he tends to come up with some crazy schemes either to get out of a difficult situation or just to get what he wants. Of course, this either leads him and his siblings into a hilarious situation in their household and school or in a dangerous one during a mission.

Another catalyst of his personality is that his overall bravery. Even if we faced any scary or smart villains, he always stay fearless at any situation he and his siblings will face. Yet, it can be a double-edged sword as his impulsiveness and his lack of reliance on second thoughts and plans can either put his team in sticky situations or turn the tables and lead to their victories. One example is during a mission where the Clarks had gotten trapped in a shark tank, he jumped into the water before his siblings and used a gadget in order to incapacitate the shark.

While he is the shortest Clark in the family, he tends to have a huge ego, as he often let any amount of fame or recognition go his head sometimes. This was shown when, after he was called a hero on live TV, he started to take advantage of his fame as he focused more on television appearances than his missions. Another example is that he tried to date many girls in his school in his attempt to get respect from the others, but ended up being chased by all the now-angry girls when they found out. Despite this, he sometimes calls it quits as he gave up being "Yo-Yo Boy" because he felt it was a 24-hour job, which he was unable to do.

But despite his bravery and ego as a spy, Tony is still like any 11-12 years old imaginative boy. Because of this, he tends to believe that anything that comes from fiction exists. For instance, he once believed that a sea monster kidnapped Lee during a mission and another time, he believed that ninjas still existed in the modern era, which was shown to somehow be true during another mission to recover the ninja artifacts. But most of the time, his siblings, mostly Lee and Marc, don't believe his far-fetched theories regarding those fictional creatures.

Another weakness of Tony's is his self-esteem when it comes to his height and age. As the youngest child of the family, Tony often doesn't have the privilege to enjoy any rides or movies that his older siblings can enjoy. He also sometimes hates his own short stature and he feels that he isn't strong enough to carry anything or defeat any bad guys in some missions. Also, he feels that being a WOOHP spy means being put on equal footing with his older siblings.

This self-esteem issue also sometimes has an effect on his ego, which, while huge, is often fragile; sometimes being teased about or underestimated because of his height (by his siblings or others) hurts him greatly and can make him feel less than who he is sometimes. This, in turn, can often have an effect on his social and spy lives.

But despite his weaknesses, he still supports Lee, Marc, and Megan in any way he can. Whether it's either in WOOHP missions or their daily lives, Tony still cares for his brothers and sister no matter what.

Due to his impulsiveness and that he's often known as an underestimated character that needs development, I believe adding him here in Victory Road might able to achieve that development, and allow him to grow as a person as he learns how to be a trainer and gives his Pokemon a deserving TLC.
