History Characters / ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporatedTheGang

* CharacterDevelopment: Many fans were thrown off by her AdaptationalJerkass traits, which is TakenUpToEleven when she clearly grows to dislike Scooby because of her jealousy towards his close relationship with Shaggy. By the end of the first season, she has made amends with both of them, and is a bit nicer in general in the second season.

* AdaptationalSexuality: This incarnation of Velma is a lesbian, as stated by the show's producer.

* TruthInTelevision: Even before she was even confirmed via WordOfGay, fans theorized she was lesbian because it's not unheard of for [[ComingOutStory people to date others of incompatible sexualities/orientations before they realize what they're actually attracted to]], especially since as a teenager, Velma would be confused about this aspect of her identity. Velma spends Season 1 trying to force a relationship between herself and Shaggy, only to realize it won't work out (both because Shaggy is uninterested and trying to make it work turns her into an unpleasant person), then she starts growing a relationship with Marcie that eventually becomes one of a romantic nature and she's clearly more happier in this one than with Shaggy.

* 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, and WordOfGod is that 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.

* TrueCompanions: What sets them apart from all the previous mystery solving groups. [[spoiler:The Evil Entity may have manipulated them into coming together to set them free, but their friendship and bonds are real and entirely their own.]]

* 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 his biological dad.

* CharacterExaggeration: Fred used to always build the traps. This Fred is trap obsessed! He has gone on record saying "For trap's sake", meaning his obsession is either religious, sexual, or, god willing, both.
* ChasteHero: Made ever-so-evident in episode 17 after Fred pulls Daphne from Danny Darrow's swimming pool trap. She needs 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 Fred go away to find his real parents.

** Has one after he thinks his meddling got Professor Rockelow attacked by the monster. PlayedForLaughs.

* IReadItForTheArticles: His exact words when Daphne finds a "Traps Illustrated" magazine at his house.

** Danny Darrow calls him "Mr. Perfect Big-Chin Man" to which Daphne asks if they've met.

* BookDumb: While Daphne generally comes off as quite clever, being capable of keeping up with [[TheSmartGuy Velma]] and [[DitzyGenius Fred's]] logic fairly easily and even putting together the clues to find the culprit on her own on a few occasions, her grasp on the English language is substantially lower than it probably should be; falling victim to {{Malaprop|er}}ism and {{Metaphorgotten}} with alarming frequency. This is justified to a degree, as she and her friends frequently cuts class to solve mysteries.
* BoundAndGagged: "In Fear of the Phantom", "The Night the Clown Cried II - Tears of Doom", and "Escape From Mystery Manor".

* AttentionWhore: This is the main reason why he wouldn't let Shaggy have a relationship with Velma, or any other girl. This decreases after Shaggy breaks up with Velma and when [[JerkassRealization Scooby sees how upset Velma is about it]].

* FriendVersusLover: Scooby [[JerkassBall tries his hardest to drive a wedge between]] Shaggy and Velma and indirectly succeeds, as she gets fed up with the fact that Shaggy seems more interested in hanging with Scooby than dating her.

* JerkassBall: During the height of the "love triangle" between him, Shaggy, and Velma, Scooby was doing everything he could to break the latter two up.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In this version, he is more of a jerk and talks more often, which adds to the attempt in developing the characters. In particular, he spends much of the show feuding with Velma for Shaggy's attention - rather jarring if you remember that in previous ''Scooby-Doo'' productions like ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'' and ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooInWheresMyMummy'', Velma is all but stated to be Scooby's second best friend. He later is on better terms with Velma, though

* AttentionWhore: This is the main reason why he wouldn't let Shaggy have a relationship with Velma, or any other girl. This decreases when [[JerkassRealization he sees how upset Velma is about it]].

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: You know that whole thing about keeping Angel's identity a secret? Well, remember your line of 'I guess we're not a team anymore' in episode 11? Well, you ''definitely'' called it, kiddo!

* AttentionWhore: This is the main reason why he won't let Shaggy have a relationship with Velma, or any other girl. This decreases when [[JerkassRealization he sees how upset Velma is about it]].

%% * AntiHero: Falls squarely into UnscrupulousHero as opposed to KnightInSourArmor as a result of her immature and oftentimes borderline abusive behavior towards Shaggy and the other members to an extent. While she's still firmly on the side of good, this is probably the most immoral version of Velma the series has ever seen.

* AmbiguouslyBi: While Scooby has always been attached to Shaggy due to them being best friends, this version may be a little ''too'' attached to Shaggy, as he frequently has displayed a possessiveness over Shaggy even going as far as to refer to him as "My Shaggy" and has been against Shaggy ever having a romantic relationship (In which he has even accused Shaggy of "cheating on him" when Shaggy was dating Velma) and has even been controlling of Shaggy's decisions. He has lightened up after Shaggy and Velma broke up and when Shaggy met Mai Lee, but then later went back to being possessive in the first half Season 2, until Nova came in the picture.

* BoundAndGagged: "In Fear of the Phantom" and "The Night the Clown Cried II - Tears of Doom".

* 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 Episode 15, when the gang and Sheriff Stone are in her bedroom.

* AttentionWhore: This is the main reason why he won't let Shaggy have a relationship with Velma, or any other girl. This decreases when [[JerkassRealization he sees how upset Velma is about it]], but is then averted in Season 2.

He gets better, of course.

He has lightened up after Shaggy and Velma broke and when Shaggy met Mai Lee, but then later went back to being possessive in Season 2, at least before meeting Nova.

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

* DitzyGenius: He's an excellent detective who is great at both strategizing and building traps, but he's an oblivious goon when it comes to almost anything else.

* TheStoic: Has a silly and goofy side, but like all his other or original incarnations, is the inflexibly serious and quietly composed member of Mystery Incorporated.

* SadClown: For all of his goofiness, Fred frequently alludes to experiencing feelings of emptiness, which he attempts to fill with obsessive fixations on solving mysteries and building traps. When these feelings come to the forefront they are decidedly ''not'' played for laughs.

* NamelessNarrative: in his episode 26 backstory, he is only called a "baby boy", so he is now a character with [[NoNameGiven 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.]]

* WeirdnessCoupon: In the few scenes in which we actually see the gang at school, Scooby seems to attend Crystal Cove High right alongside Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, Velma, Brenda, Cheryl, Dylan, Ethan, Gary and Hot Dog Water. This probably has something to do with the fact that he's a talking dog.

* AmbiguouslyBi: While Scooby has always been attached to Shaggy due to them being best friends, this version may be a little ''too'' attached to Shaggy, as he frequently has displayed a possessiveness over Shaggy even going as far as to refer to him as "My Shaggy" and has been against Shaggy ever having a romantic relationship (In which he has even accused Shaggy of "cheating on him" when Shaggy was dating Velma) and has even been controlling of Shaggy's decisions. He has lightened up after Shaggy and Velma broke and when Shaggy met Mai Lee, but then later went back to being possessive in season 2, at least before meeting Nova.

** At the end of episode eighteen:

* {{Adorkable}}: Obsessed with traps, ObliviousToLove, socially awkward, naive and silly but mostly kind young man, this version of Fred ticks many boxes of this trope.
