* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: My sister Kimi is a lot like Tommy; she's very adventurous and when she loses something, she wanders into strange territory to get it back. I'm not so brave, so whenever I lose something, I prefer to leave it where it is. However, when Kimi wanders into strange territory, I'll go in with her to make sure nothing bad happens to her.

* BigBrotherInstinct: When my daddy married Kimi's mommy, Kimi became my little sister. At first, I was worried that I wasn't going to be a good big brother and that Kimi didn't really need me to protect her, acause' she's brave and I'm not. When I sawed two boys kicking sand at each other, and some of the sand landed on Kimi, I worked up the courage to tell them to leave her alone. Fortunately, they meaned no harm to her.

Later, in 'Brothers' Grimm', this ability is referenced again, as I make the blueprints for a treehouse, having professional-like quality.

** A similar case in 'Dude, Where's My Horse?", when I finds out I'm an extremely good cowboy, but then I feel bad when remembering these abilities are useless back at home... and then I start playing a harmonica with remarkable skill. Even Tommy can't make me confess at what point I learned to play an instrument, as I've apparently learned to do it almost without realizing it.

!!Tropes about big me
* AnimeHair: Especially during my "Yu-Gotta-Go!" dream sequences.
* BadLiar: Angelica basically has to drill me in how to be an effective liar in "Brother, Can You Spare the Time?". How does she do it?
* BerserkButton: I'll go absolutely paranoid if I think Kimi is in danger.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Kimi, who doesn't always appreciate it. (See BerserkButton above.)
* BigBrotherMentor / OlderAndWiser: I have an odd role when it comes to wisdom: most of the time I'm nebbish and insecure, but when the moment comes for it. I'm also often the guy who picks up on my friends' sensitive/emotional problems and gives wise speeches to members of the gang, most often to Tommy and Kimi. Occasionally I'm the "lesson giver" when Susie's not around.
** This leads to a RunningGag where I give some insightful advice, and then I admit that got it out of a fortune cookie / hallmark card.
** Funnily enough, while I often fill this role for Tommy, Tommy often fills this role for me. It's a cornerstone of our friendship. In fact, a couple of the speeches I give to Tommy are of the "teaching a lesson that Tommy didn't realize I was already inspiring in other people" sort.

I like to play in the sand, on slides and with blocks, but don't like it when people puts blocks where they're not susposed to go. My favouritest toy is a bear called Wawa. I don't really like new things, 'cause I find them scary, but they're okay or even good when I gets used to them.

Um...hi, readers. My name is [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} Chuckie Finster]], and this is my page on the Interwebby-thing.

I should probably tell you about me. Well, I'm only two years old, and I live with my mommy, daddy, my adopted sister Kimi, and our two doggies Fifi and Pepper.

My friends are this boy named Tommy who's a bit younger than me but much braver, his little brother Dil, Phil and Lil who are twins that live next door to Tommy and Dil, a very smart big girl Susie, and Tommy's older cousin Angelica. Okay, I am a bit scared of Angelica, because she's quite mean, but she's my friend anyway. Tommy's the bravliest, but they're all more bravely than me, but that's okay, I'm used to not being brave.

* EmbarrassingDampSheets: There was that one time, I wetted the bed while staying at Tommy's. He didn't mind though.
* FacingYourFears: Mostly, I'm fine with being afraid, but if I have to quit being scared of something or do something even though I'm scared, I pretend to be a big brave dog. Susie taught me.
* FeudEpisode: One time, I thought Tommy's ideas were too scary so I decided not to be his friend anymore. Another time, he and I got mad 'cause we couldn't agree on what to play so we finded different people to play with. Sorry for both of those times if you're reading this, Tommy, though I don't thinks you can read.
* IDontThinkThatsSuchAGoodIdea: Sometimes, Tommy's ideas are crazy, and I don't think they're good ideas.
* InSeriesNickname: Tommy sometimes calls me Chuckaroo, while Phil and Lil's mommy calls me Chuckster.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: I guess I am kinda like my dad. We both has red hair and glasses, we both get scared easily, and we're both allergic to dandelions.
* LimitedWardrobe: Mostly I always wears red shoes, yellow socks, green pants and a blue shirt with a planet on. In fact, when I losted my shirt, I felt I had to change my name.
* LovableCoward: I scare easily, but I'm a nice boy.
* MissingMom: I used to have a different mommy but she's not around anymore. Well, [[JustifiedTrope she's dead so she can't really show up.]] Luckily, I gots a new mommy now.
