History Characters / FraggleRock

* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Most Fraggles go around barefoot, but Travelling Matt always wears both shoes and socks, as part of his AdventurerOutfir.

** He's constantly doing laundry, and obsesses over having clean socks... despite no Fraggle ever ''wearing'' socks. He just has them so they can be washed.

Gobo's uncle and fellow explorer, he discovers Outer Space and brings back postcards regaling the Fraggles of his travels. In season 4, he occasionally visits Fraggle Rock.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: In an early episode, she ''bangs Doozers on the head with a stick'' to make music. Mokey in any later episode would never think of doing such a thing--in fact, one or two episodes (only two episodes later in the case of "The Preachification of Convincing John") have her as a SoapboxSadie campaigning for Doozer rights (instructing the other Fraggles never to eat their constructions, for example).

* UnexpectedCharacter:
** Flange makes a surprise appearance as an unlockable racer in the ''VideoGame/MuppetRaceMania'' video game. He's only credited as "Doozer," and has a [[AdaptationDyeJob black mustache instead of a brown one,]] but he has the same voice and helmet. He's also the ''only'' ''Fraggle Rock'' character to appear in the game (although Fraggle Rock itself is one of the unlockable race courses). It's rather surprising that Gobo and/or Red ''weren't'' included.
** Both Flange and Wingnut were made into plush toys by Hasbro--while Cotterpin, a vastly more popular character, wasn't.

The oldest Fraggle in Fraggle Rock and probably the world. He serves as elder for the Fraggles, often officiating at ceremonial events and emergency meetings.

* ElderlyImmortal: Is ''at least'' hundreds of years old based on the flashbacks to his stone age youth in "Night of the Lights", yet is still alive. Notheless, even with possible immortality of some sort, he looks as old as he is. Curiously for this trope, his mind appears to be aging as well.

* SensitiveArtist: She once ran away to cry when she thought her friends were calling one of her paintings typical.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: In "Gone, But Not Forgotten," when Wembley is crushed over Mudwell's death, Boober offers to cheer him up by making his favorite: peach-and-pepper potage. This ends up upsetting Wembley ''more'', as Mudwell had made him a peach-and-pepper potage that was superior to Boober's.

* NiceGirl: Most of the time, Mokey is gentle, nurturing, and affectionate. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Push her too far, though...]]

* TheBard: Mokey often writes poetry.

* CuddleBug: While being a more zen and peaceful Fraggle, Mokey is also very physical with showing affection or concern, she's always ready to pull her friends into a hug for any reason.

** She's a bit less abrasive in the 2020s reboots as well, though her sarcastic streak is intact (particularly on the subject of postcards from Traveling Matt). The fourth episode of ''Fraggle Rock: Rock On'' features Red and Gobo competing (albeit more playful than genuine rivalry), hopping on one foot while reciting a challenging tongue twister.

* NiceGuy: Undoubtedly one of the sweetest and kindest Fraggles in existence; he wants everyone to get along and never has a bad word to say about anyone—that is, unless he gets carried away in following someone else's lead.

* BigEgoHiddenDepths: On the surface she comes across as a SmallNameBigEgo character; she can be self-centered and self-glorifying, hugely competitive, physically aggressive, and a poor listener. However, as early as season one, we discover that much of her brashness is an act to cover up her insecurities, and her worst traits mainly show up when her competitiveness gets the better of her or she for some reason goes on the defense. Time and again the series shows that when not trying to prove herself in some way, she is one of the kindest and friendliest Fraggles around,[[note]] Her character bio featured on the ''Complete Animated Series'' DVD describes her as "lovable", while, during an appearance at Meltdown Comics in 2010, Grant Baciocco, Jim Henson Company puppeteer and host of the Henson.com podcast, called her "very sweet".[[/note]] second only to Wembley in how many {{Odd Friendship}}s she gains over the course of the series. Also, her identity is so wrapped up in being active that she takes it ''hard'' when she's forced to slow down, as when she's laid up with an injured baloobius in the ''Back to the Rock'' episode "Deep Dive."

* OddFriendship: With Mokey. They're total opposites, and yet they are the best of friends. It is also with Mokey that Red has one of the most consistently stable relationships...[[VitriolicBestBuds for the most part, at least.]]

* OddFriendship: With Mokey. They're total opposites, and yet they are the best of friends.

* CompetitionFreak: Among her negative traits.

* FlatEarthAtheist: According to [[https://youtu.be/gAj5c7ZPt7U?si=knXK78HULOifA9Zq this interview with Tough Pigs]], the reason why she scoffs so much at the postcards from Traveling Matt is because, despite all the fantastical things in Fraggle Rock, she thinks everything is made up... made up to [[AttentionWhore take attention away from her]], that is.
