History Characters / SaladFingers

* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide:He wears a dress in episode 5 and 7, is very soft spoken and has motherly tendencies.

* NoodlePeople: How he's drawn.
* NiceGuy: Salad Fingers is creepy but benelovent and non-malicious.

* ShoutOut: Presumably, Jeremy's name might be a reference to Beatrix Potter's ''The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher''

* KnightOfCerebus: To a certain extent. He's the first unambiguously evil person that Salad Fingers meets and emotionally breaks him down. After his appearance, the show brings in much more ''disturbing'' characters such as Yvonne, Salad Fingers "Platoon", Dr. Papanak, and the Glass Family.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Marjory gives this sort of vibe in Episode 5, when she's shown ominously watching Salad having a picnic with Mable (the little red-haired girl)

A kid with a pink varsity jacket that gets trapped in Salad's oven in Episode 2

An armless man with a [=BBQ=] shirt that chases after Salad with in Episode 3

A wood louse that Salad tried to pet in Episode 4

A little red-haired girl that appears in Episode 5

A weird bug-eyed yellow person that appears in Episodes 1 and 9, who owns a lot of rusty things and a house

A dead tree that we see in Episode 7

A corpse that Salad calls his little brother in Episode 7

Salad's reflection that lives in the mirror with Glass Mother

* SuddenlyVoiced: Hubert and, though he doesn't talk, he does let out a screeching sound. As of becoming a "real boy", he actually does talk, asking why Glass Brother is [[{Jerkass}so mean]].

* SuddenlyVoiced: Hubert and, though he doesn't talk, he does let out a screeching sound. As of becoming a "real boy", he actually does talk.

* TranquilFury: Particularly in Episode 11, after retrieving Hubert Cumberdale from the Glass Brother and Mother. Surprisingly, he's not violent to either of them, and simply escapes, but the calm, quiet tone in his voice somehow exemplifies how angry he is, especially when he smashes the mirror.

* VillainousBreakdown: She completely loses it when Salad Finger finally one-ups her.

* TranquilFury: Particularly in Episode 11, after retrieving Hubert Cumberdale from the Glass Brother and Mother. Surprisingly, he's not violent to either of them, and simply escapes, but the calm, quiet tone in his voice somehow exemplifies how angry he is.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Although he is officially considered a human, his species is up for debate. According to Firth, he is not a zombie.

--->"He’s a nice guy. I don’t think he ever actually kills on purpose. But there’s lots of evidence that he may have done. He’s like a cat. A cat will kill mercilessly outside but you still bring him in and cuddle him. It’s the same as Salad Fingers, he’s just a bit of an animal.”

* WhamLine: ''[[spoiler: "Just wait until your father gets home!"]]''

* AmbiguousDisorder: While Salad Fingers is never confirmed in-series to have a mental illness (mainly because his point of view is our primary perspective), it's pretty clear that there is something ''very'' wrong with him. He appears to have symptoms not only of Dissociative Identity Disorder (i.e. flipping between multiple personalities, sometimes mid-thought) but of severe Schizophrenia-- self-harming, hearing voices, and living in a state of near-constant hallucinations.

* WhamLine: ''[[spoiler: "Wait until your father gets home!"]]''

* AmbiguousGender: While they're suffering from MultiGenderedSplitPersonalities, it's unknown if they're male or female. For the sake of simplicity, Salad Fingers is referred to as and largely agreed to be male by the fandom.
** Averted as of Episode 11: The New Improved Hubert Cumberdale (the real boy) addresses SF as "Mr Fingers".

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Salad Fingers never outright displays any signs of hostility or violence (to anyone other than himself at least), but a few episodes implying incidents of murder and the times we've seen Salad Fingers become angry, it's quite clear why we shouldn't piss him off still.

* FreakOut: Salad Fingers has a couple, but the most notable one is in the episode "Picnic", in which he is horrified by the fact that a little girl actually speaks to him. This wouldn't be so strange, except the only people Salad Fingers ever speaks to are himself and the figments of his imagination. The girl's voice is the only other confirmed "real" voice we hear in the series.

* UnreliableNarrator: The closest we get to any cohesive story is what Salad Fingers tells us, and between his bouts of SplitPersonality changes and being a CloudCuckoolander, he isn't the most trustworthy source of information. In fact, he is intentionally written to have his characterization shift to confuse viewers.

* SuddenNameChange: In-Universe, however, this is because Salad couldn't remember Hubert's name initially.

* BaldWomen: She's bald outside of a few grey hairs.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Marjory doesn't reappear after Episode 5. [[TheBusCameBack She does however appear in Episode 11]].

* LoveAtfirstSight: With Salad Fingers.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: PlayedWith. He has these, and bad things tend to happen to people in his vicinity. However, he is almost always a well-spoken NiceGuy towards those he comes across, [[{{Understatement}} if a little out there]]. It's open to interpretation on how much he actually means harm.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: While most of the characters in this show have strange designs that vary constantly, Mable is the closest character to look normal. This could be a hint that she’s not a hallucination conceived by Salad Fingers.

* UncertainDoom: She is last seen asking Salad Fingers what is wrong when he is freaked out, and never seen again after that, the episode ending with the implications that she had her eyes ripped out. Although, [[spoiler:in Glass Brother he is holding a dress that looks like the one that she wore during the picnic.]]

The titular character and protagonist of the series, Salad Fingers is a strange green man who lives in a small house in the middle of a seemingly vast wasteland. He mainly interacts with finger puppets and figments of his own imagination, but he may not be as alone as he seems...

* RealityEnsues: Trying to use one's head as a battering ram isn't going to end well and it doesn't, as he bleeds to death.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: While most of the characters in this show have strange designs that vary constantly, Mable is the closest character to look normal. This could be a hunt that she’s not a hallucination conceived by Salad Fingers.

* SuddenlyVoiced: She's mostly quiet, except for when she spoke most clearly and at a different volume

* AbusiveParents: It's not clear if the Glass Mother is actually his mother (or at least a hallucination thereof), but she is certainly unpleasant and cruel, ordering him to drink some concoction she knows would give him a fever. [[spoiler:And his father might be, as well, if there's any truth to Glass Mother's WhamLine.]]
