| 33 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The Masculine Girl to Willy's Feminine Boy. Maya is adventurous and brave while Willy is easily frightened and shy. |
| 34 | * OneOfTheBoys: More noticeable in the CGI series. Her friends are mostly boys, and she doesn't really hang around with Beatrice or Lara very often. |
| 35 | * ParentalSubstitute: |
| 36 | ** One episode of the anime involves Maya having to take care of a baby bird with no parents in sight. The other insects are surprised by her decision, especially Willy. Eventually the baby bird leaves Maya after she sings it a lullaby since it was having trouble going to sleep. Flip is the only insect able to witness this and feels proud for Maya's bravery and kindness. |

| 43 | * YouAreNumberSix: In the CGI movie, Maya has a number, 396. The main antagonist, Buzzlina, insists on referring to her as this. |

| 51 | ---- |
| 52 | * AdaptationalDumbass: In the anime, while he wasn't a genius, the first episode shows that he has some knowledge on what dangers to avoid and could remember important information Miss Cassandra had taught him (in the Japanese version, he was an [[https://www.nippon-animation.co.jp/maya/character/ honor student]] ). In the CGI series, he has the lowest grades in his class, can't seem to focus, and, according to Maya, makes spelling mistakes. |
| 53 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: |
| 54 | ** In the anime, Willy is extremely lazy and prone to taking very long naps. Willy in the 3D reboot, while also lazy and prone to sleeping a lot, is still a lot more active and awake compared to his anime counterpart. His movie counterpart's tendency to sleep doesn't come up nearly as much as his love for food. In fact, in the second movie, he never once complains about being tired, just hungry. |
| 55 | ** He is also prone to jealousy in the anime when Maya makes new friends, usually worrying that she wouldn't need him anymore. In the CGI series, he doesn't mind any new friends Maya makes and usually befriends them too. |
| 56 | * BestFriend: To Maya. |
| 57 | * BigEater: Loves honey (Pollen in the CGI series) |
| 58 | * BrutalHonesty: He has a habit of saying exactly what he thinks of someone without stopping to think about how harsh it might be. When he meets Freda the fly in [[https://youtu.be/7a34mPtTK4c?t=463 episode 66]] of the anime for example. |

| 60 | * BrilliantButLazy: He slacks off a lot but he does occasionally have good ideas. |
| 61 | * CannotKeepASecret: He unintentionally blabs secrets when under pressure. Both "Rosita" and "The Orchirosa" show this. |
| 62 | * CowardlyLion: Has his moments, ''especially'' if Maya is the one in danger. In one episode from the CGI series for example, he takes on a bluebird when it tries to eat Maya. |
| 63 | * CrazyJealousGuy: In the anime, he would easily become jealous if Maya made a new friend. Even more often when Alexander shows up. |
| 64 | * DeclarativeFinger: He does this often in the anime, usually when quoting one of his proverbs. |
| 65 | * DistressedDude: He often gets himself into situations and needs to be rescued by Maya. |
| 66 | * DubNameChange: Willy is called Gucio in Poland (a cutesy form of Gustaw/Gustav). |
| 67 | * ExhaustedEyeBags: Always has bags under his eyes to emphasise his lazy nature. It's more notable in the anime compared to the CGI series and movies. |
| 68 | * FriendlessBackground: |
| 69 | ** In the movie, he makes it clear Maya is the first friend he's ever made and that the other children ignored him. |
| 70 | --->'''Willy:''' What are you doing?\ |
| 71 | '''Maya:''' Sitting next to you.\ |
| 72 | '''Willy''' But nobody ever sits next to me-I mean, excellent choice Maya! |
| 73 | ** Later, when he decides to keep Maya company when she is banned from flying lessons. |
| 74 | --->'''Maya:''' Oh Willy! You're my best friend ever!\ |
| 75 | '''Willy:''' You're my first friend ever... |
| 76 | * HeavySleeper: He prefers sleeping most of the time. |
| 77 | * HurricaneOfAphorisms: He likes to use "Bee Proverbs". |
| 78 | * InformedFlaw: In the anime, he was often called Fatty by other insects even though his body is the same size as Maya's. |
| 79 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Willy is a bit greedy and selfish but is a very nice bee when he's not acting like that. |
| 80 | * LazyBum: In the anime, he's extremely lazy and prefers having a laid-back lifestyle. He's typically seen complaining about working on specific tasks and once got exiled from the hive over falling asleep during The Queen's presence. This aspect was toned down in the CGI series and movies, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen however test animation for the 2014 movie]] attempted to bring back Willy's lazy aspect. |
| 81 | * LovableCoward: He prefers to hide or fly away from danger, understandable since he doesn't have a sting to protect himself with. |
| 82 | * NonMammalianHair: He has a small brown tuft of hair on the top of his head. |
| 83 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The Feminine Boy to Maya's Masculine Girl. Willy is cowardly, but Maya is courageous. |
| 84 | * OnlySaneMan: He considered himself to be this in the anime, as he always found Maya's ideas of adventure to be careless or stupid. He usually outright tells her he thinks she's crazy. |
| 85 | -->'''Willy:''' ''(Maya has just told him she's been raising a baby bird)'' Now listen! I've always had the opinion that you were more than just a little bit cuckoo Maya, but never in my wildest dreams did I think your cuckoo was quite as big as ''that.'' |
| 86 | * ParentalSubstitute: Both he and Maya become this to Smoosh in "The Golden Orb". Taking care of the baby ant while trying to return her home. Arnie and Barney even constantly insist he is Smoosh's "Dada", much to his annoyance. |
| 87 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He'll try to do this if an adventure gets too dangerous. Usually Maya is able to convince him to stay, or he'll come back if Maya is in extreme danger. |
| 88 | * SimpletonVoice: In the South African, German, and Latino dubs of the anime. |
| 89 | * TheSlacker: He is very lazy. |
| 90 | * TooHungryToBePolite: He's a noisy eater. In one episode, when Maya comes across him on the verge of starving, he eats too fast and coughs up pollen into [[https://youtu.be/aKNFSrnv0tI?t=702 Maya's face]]. |
| 91 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Honey and pollen. |
| 92 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Maya. In "The Honey Games", Violet believes he'll do anything she asks because he's infatuated with her. She tells him to profess to Maya that he's injured during a race, so Team Tropolis has a better chance of winning. However, he immediately loses interest in Violet because of this, tells Maya the truth, and says he's hurt that anyone would think he'd lie to his best friend. |
| 93 | * VocalDissonance: He's a child and looks young, yet in most dubs of the anime he was voiced by grown men. Averted in the CGI series (except the German, Italian and Polish dub) where he is voiced by females or children. |
| 94 | * VocalEvolution: In the South African dub he always had a SimpletonVoice, but in the earlier episodes he also had a [[https://youtu.be/SGF3bdMeRlo?list=PLwQyoTjGiCPvQuREgcSgX_JDmOC3_yIaP&t=79 lisp]], which his VA eventually [[https://youtu.be/oBnOqGoXwz0?list=PLwQyoTjGiCPvQuREgcSgX_JDmOC3_yIaP&t=223 drops]]. |

| 243 | * DependingOnTheWriter: Her friendship with Maya and the others will switch from her genuinely caring about them, or her just wanting to be the centre of attention, even if it means betraying or lying to her friends. |

| 254 | * SatelliteLoveInterest: Oddly becomes this in the movie. She only appears twice and both times she hardly says a word and just flirts with Willy completely out of nowhere. Despite the fact that in the CGI series, she and Willy don't get along, and Willy finds her annoying. Although the movie is an AlternateContinuity, there really wasn't an explanation of why a love interest was needed at all. |

| 272 | * TookALevelInJerkass: He has always been a bit of a ControlFreak, but back in season 1, most of the decisions he made were because he honestly believed they were for the hive's benefit and survival, and in "Did I Say That?" he had no shame thanking and rewarding Willy when he believed he had saved his life. Starting in season 2, he does things simply because he knows he can, clearly gets enjoyment out of annoying the worker bees, and usually has to be forced to say thank you because he's too prideful to admit when someone has helped him. |
| 273 | * UngratefulBastard: He is banished from the hive in one episode, and even though Maya offers to help him, he refuses to say thank you, telling her that he doesn't need to be grateful because she's obligated to help him. |
