!!Fred "Freddie" Jones Jr./Fred Chiles

* HeroesWantRedHeads: Eventually manages to come to terms with the fact that he's in love with Daphne. Even before he realized it, it was suggested multiple times that he was always attracted her and was simply repressing his feelings. Leads to some tension later on, when he begins treating her as obsessively as he treats traps and mysteries.

* AdaptationalBadass: His traps more or less failed OncePerEpisode in previous incarnations. His traps in this series, however, are ''far'' more effective and have a greater success ratio, without losing their complexity. In addition to all the traps and crazy plans he makes, Fred has the most physical prowess of the gang and has occasionally used that to his advantage, like when he punched out Crybaby Clown and in the Man in the Mirror where he fought [[spoiler: his biological dad.]]

* CallingTheOldManOut: Does to this to Mayor Jones in the last episode, [[spoiler: pointing out that he ruined the lives of the original Mystery Inc., framed Professor Pericles for a crime he didn't actually commit, stole Fred from his birth parents, lied to him for his ''entire life'', and pretty much manipulated everything all for a treasure that might not even exist.]]
** And he does it again to [[spoiler: his ''real'' parents, Brad and Judy Chiles, for trying to steal the gang's pieces of the Planispheric Disc and declares to them that he will not return to their home.]]

* FreudianExcuse: His obsession with traps is revealed to have happened as a result of [[spoiler: his belief that his mother abandoned his family, causing him to start building traps in hopes that they'd be able to keep the other people in his life from leaving him. Both his belief that his mother abandoned him and his bizarre and unhealthy way of dealing with it are the result of the distant and abusive parenting his father gave him.]]

** The reveal of who [[spoiler: he really is in Episode 26; this time NOT played for laughs results in him having a complete breakdown, cutting off all ties from his friends and leaving Crystal Cove on a JourneyToFindOneself.]]

* InTheBlood: Inverted with Fred Jones Sr. [[spoiler: But as it turns out his love for mysteries and traps is inherited, as demonstrated with his real parents Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves. Brad even looks like an older Fred.]]

* LeavingYouToFindMyself: Well, himself via [[spoiler: finding his real parents.]]

** [[spoiler: Episode 26 shows that he's actually not the mayor's son and the picture is from a magazine, but rather the son of Brad and Judy of the original Mystery Inc.]]

* NoNameGiven: In his Episode 26 backstory, he is only called a "baby boy", so he is now a character with no real name known. [[spoiler: In Season 2 he decides to keep his first name after meeting his birth parents, and eventually resumes going by "Jones" as well after learning that they were in league with Mr. E.]]

* SecretLegacy: [[spoiler: As revealed by Fred Jones Sr in the Season 1 Finale. Fred real parents were the original members of Mystery Incorporated which Fred and the rest of the Gang were inspired by and have been investigating what happened to them.]]

** [[spoiler: But now...the engagement's off thanks to the Mayor revealing that he isn't Fred's dad.]]

* WasItAllALie: Asks this to [[spoiler: Mayor Jones]] after the truth comes out. His response is soul crushingly honest.

* YoureNotMyFather: [[spoiler: Mayor Jones really ISN'T Fred's biological father. Brad and Judy, two of the original Mystery Incorporated members, are his real parents. He was NOT happy.]]
** [[spoiler: Fred reconciles with Sr. in Episode 48. He tells Sr. that while he wasn't his real father, he was the best "dad" he had to raise him.]]

[[spoiler: While the series didn't directly say what happened, it's apparent that Velma did figure out that she was gay and she had moved on from Shaggy by dating Marcie "Hot Dog Water" Fleach in the reset timeline]].

* AdaptationalDumbass: While most modern incarnations of Fred depict him as somewhat dim, this version dials it up to 11. This is further supplemented by this incarnation’s obsession with traps.

* NoNameGiven: in his Episode 26 backstory, he is only called a "baby boy", so he is now a character with no real name known. [[spoiler: In Season 2 he decides to keep his first name after meeting his birth parents, and eventually resumes going by "Jones" as well after learning that they were in league with Mr. E.]]

* NoNameGiven: in his Episode 26 backstory, he is only called a "baby boy", so he is now a character wi no real name known. [[spoiler: In Season 2 he decides to keep his first name after meeting his birth parents, and eventually resumes going by "Jones" as well after learning that they were in league with Mr. E.]]

* BreakTheCutie: Season one's finale is not kind to him. He manages to break out of it in season 2, but not until after several episodes of him in the throes of a HeroicBSOD.

* ChasteHero: Made ever-so-evident in episode 17 after Fred pulls Daphne from Danny Darrow's swimming pool trap. She pretends to need artificial respiration and is expecting mouth-to-mouth. He presses on her stomach instead.
** Later becomes a CelibateHero when in episode 24 the two kiss and are going to be engaged, but after solving the mystery Fred breaks it off to leave town and find his real parents.

** Fred yells this during his HeroicBSOD in episode 4 after he blurts out that Daphne's voice sounds as "sweet and perfect as a trap snapping shut on a criminal".
** Again in episode 13. Daphne overhears him call the biology teacher, whom they think is behind the cicada attacks, a "girlfriend stealer".
** Zig-zagged in episode 15 after Daphne kisses him:

** An even more devastating one occurs during episode 4, when he believes his latest trap has led to Daphne being hurt. Also PlayedForLaughs.
** Yet another in episode 7 after his trap fails and Daphne is kidnapped. Again.
** The reveal of who [[spoiler: he really is in episode 26; this time NOT played for laughs results in him having a complete breakdown, cutting off all ties from his friends and leaving Crystal Cove on a JourneyToFindOneself.]]

* IAmWho: The HeroicBSOD in episode 26 should explain this.

* LetsGetDangerous: Fred in episode 26 is ''far'' more focused and serious than he is for most of the series. Other times involve taking on other trap masters.

* NoNameGiven: in his episode 26 backstory, he is only called a "baby boy", so he is now a character wi no real name known. [[spoiler: In season 2 he decides to keep his first name after meeting his birth parents, and eventually resumes going by "Jones" as well after learning that they were in league with Mr. E.]]

* ObliviousToLove: Initially Fred didn't seem to pick up that Daphne is flirting with him, and he actively seemed in denial about it. At some point he seems to have come to terms with it and returns the feeling, as by episode 23 Fred has a multi-page list of everything Daphne does, and in his sleep he mumbles Daphne's name and "traps" in the same sentence. And then in episode 50 he outright tells Daphne he loves her.

* ShoutOut: In season 2, Fred's appearance and demeanor became that of Creator/TomHanks in "Cast Away."

* TastesLikeFeet: Fred sniffs a bookbag in episode 12, and declares that it smells like "a baboon smoking a cigar while bathing in a bath of moldy tuna and curdled ranch dressing".

** In episode 49 he led the gang through a TempleOfDoom without accidentally setting off any of the traps, later the MonsterOfTheWeek triggered all of them.

** [[spoiler: Fred reconciles with Sr. in episode 48. He tells Sr. that while he wasn't his real father, he was the best "dad" he had to raise him.]]

* BigEater: In episode 19, she waits over 2 hours for a table at a restaurant, only to get dragged off to a mystery as soon as a table became available. By the time she ''finally'' gets a chance to eat, she's so hungry that she manages to out-eat ''Scooby and Shaggy''.

* GenreBlind: One moment in episode 7 where, when a book drops off the shelf mysteriously, she puts it back instead of reading it. Then it keeps flying out, once with enough force to bounce off the previous shelf, and the mysterious TricksterMentor (probably Mister. E) {{lampshade|Hanging}}s it by saying "Oh, for crying out loud..."

** One line of episode 4 implies she has a gossip-based rivalry with her sister Dawn as well.

%%* LuckBasedSearchTechnique: Pulls this off in episode 8.

* MsFanservice: Spends most of episode 4 in a bikini, and there's a scene where Velma rubs suntan lotion on her back. Her Hex Girl outfit in Episode 7 is also very revealing as is her nightwear in The Wild Brood, when the gang and Sheriff Stone are in her bedroom.

** Late in season 1, Shaggy comes back around to showing romantic interest in Velma. She seems to reciprocate at first, then tells him she no longer feels that way and hopes they can still be friends. The following episode, she says she "sent him back to his dog", implying that she may very well still feel romantic feelings for Shaggy, but is afraid she'll give into them, only to be dumped for Scooby a second time.

* IWishItWereReal: In episode 20, she became friends with a mermaid. Or rather it was a professional swimmer disguised as a mermaid. She then quips that she wished that the supernatural stuff was real.

* MagicSkirt: Usually, but averted in episode 4 - Velma has to hold her skirt down, denying a PantyShot, after she gets catapulted into the air by the Man Crab.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: You know that whole thing about keeping Angel's identity a secret? Well, remember your line of 'Maybe we're not a team anymore' in episode 11? Well, you ''definitely'' called it, kiddo!

** It comes to a near boil in episode 48 when Velma bursts into tears after she feels that logic and fact have deserted her.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Seen in episode 17; when she, Scooby and Shaggy are in a trap, it states that only the smartest of the group could get out. Velma assumes it's her... until we see that the one who created the trap isn't seeing 'Cassidy' as the smartest; it's 'Pericles' (who corresponds to Scooby)! Velma tries to hide the fact that she made an error once they're free.

** The others chastise her in episode 33 for automatically suspecting the phantom that spoiled a movie party at a graveyard the night before was the graveyard groundskeeper, saying it was "villain profiling" and against team standards.

* WorkingWithTheEx: After she and Shaggy break up, she's noticeably antagonistic for a while, but it goes away, and by season two, they are friends again. According to the creators, she's [[https://twitter.com/kooltoecee/status/296271755515932672 gotten over him.]] When the gang find Shaggy and Daphne making out because of a trance, she doesn't bat an eyelash, while Fred and Scooby freak out.

* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: You know Velma's really pissed at Shaggy when, in episode 11, she calls him by his proper name.

* FriendVersusLover: Caught between Scooby and Velma, mainly because he used the idea that Scooby wouldn't approve to avoid letting the others know they were dating. Shaggy tried to take Velma to the prom without telling Scooby first, leaving Scooby behind. Eventually, he caught them alone, accusing Shaggy of "cheating on him". It went downhill from there. In episode 10, he chooses Scooby. Velma, of course, is pissed.

* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Severely averted in episode 5 by the tight pants Velma bought for Shaggy and insists he wears. He could barely walk in them, let alone look good in them. He goes back to his oversized pants at the end.

** Creator/HarlanEllison chews him out for it in episode 12.

* LookADistraction: Pulls this on Scooby and Velma in episode 9 when they have him cornered with a FriendVersusLover shake-down.

* BigDamnHeroes: In episode 10.

* BigEater: In episode 23, Scooby says his stomach needs a stomach.

* BrainBleach: In episode 8 after witnessing the "secret pirate".

* ClearMyName: Went through this in episode 10.
* CompanionCube: Scooby uses Shaggy's old ventriloquist dummy to replace Shaggy as a best friend. It's no longer seen at the end of episode 7.

* ItHasBeenAnHonor: In episode 5, when Scooby and Shaggy are moments away from impending doom at the hands of spookified children.

* SkywardScream: In episode 8.

** In episode 20, Velma reminds him that he's next to impossible to understand on the phone.

** At the end of episode 18:

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: When her and Shaggy were dating, he was noticeably taller than her which makes Velma the Tiny Girl.

* BareYourMidriff: Her Hex Girl outfit where she wore a black mini-skirt and corset (revealing her midriff).

* Main/StealthPun: It's established fairly early that Fred's sport is soccer, but they don't explicitly state what position he plays until the final episode, though it's obvious in hindsight: he plays goal, a position that's sometimes known as the trapper.

* SuperOCD: Fred makes a multi-page schedule for Daphne so he'll know where she is every minute of the day.
-->'''Daphne:''' ''(showing Velma the schedule)'' And this is just today! Part one! Of twelve!

* AmbiguouslyBi: While she clearly has romantic feelings for Shaggy, WordOfGod states that she's a closeted lesbian who doesn't even realize herself that she's interested in women. [[spoiler:In the new reality created at the end of the series, it's implied she's in a romantic relationship with Hot Dog Water.]]

* AdaptationalDumbass: While most modern incarnations of Fred depict him as somewhat dim, this version dials it up to 11. This is further supplemented by this incarnation’s obsession with traps.

** The reveal of who [[spoilers: he really is in episode 26; this time NOT played for laughs results in him having a complete breakdown, cutting off all ties from his friends and leaving Crystal Cove on a JourneyToFindOneself.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: His traps more or less failed OncePerEpisode in previous incarnations.

In addition to all the traps and crazy plans he makes, Fred has the most physical prowess of the gang and has occasionally used that to his advantage, like when he punched out Crybaby Clown and in the Man in the Mirror where he fought his biological dad.

* CallingTheOldManOut: Does to this to Mayor Jones in the last episode, pointing out that he ruined the lives of the original Mystery Inc., framed Professor Pericles for a crime he didn't actually commit, stole Fred from his birth parents, lied to him for his ''entire life'', and pretty much manipulated everything all for a treasure that might not even exist.
** And he does it again to his ''real'' parents, Brad and Judy Chiles, for trying to steal the gang's pieces of the Planispheric Disc and declares to them that he will not return to their home.

** The reveal of who he really is in episode 26; this time NOT played for laughs results in him having a complete breakdown, cutting off all ties from his friends and leaving Crystal Cove on a JourneyToFindOneself.

* LeavingYouToFindMyself: Well, himself via finding his real parents

** Episode 26 shows that he's actually not the mayor's son and the picture is from a magazine, but rather the son of Brad and Judy of the original Mystery Inc.

** But now...the engagement's off thanks to the Mayor revealing that he isn't Fred's dad.

* WasItAllALie: Asks this to Mayor Jones after the truth comes out. His response is soul crushingly honest.

* YoureNotMyFather: Mayor Jones really ISN'T Fred's biological father. Brad and Judy, two of the original Mystery Incorporated members, are his real parents. He was NOT happy.
** Fred reconciles with Sr. in episode 48. He tells Sr. that while he wasn't his real father, he was the best "dad" he had to raise him.
