Roys Bedoys / Characters - TV Tropes (2024)

The main character; an impulsive, somewhat arrogant, but ultimately well-meaning young boy.

• Ageless Birthday Episode: He's had two stories focusing on his birthday, despite remaining approximately five years old for the whole series.
• Big Eater: He often gets excited when there is food around, and sometimes takes more than his share of food.
• Book Dumb: Often procrastinates doing his homework, and will complain about his school assignments.
• Bratty Half-Pint: He has a rude sense of humour and will sometimes sulk if he doesn't get his way.
• Full-Name Basis: Everyone always addresses him by full name.
• Gasshole: A running gag is him farting.
• Injured Limb Episode: "Roys Bedoys Goes to the Hospital" focuses on him being hospitalised for a broken arm.
• My Nayme Is: His first name is pronounced the same as "Royce".
• Nose Nuggets: His nose-picking is a Running Gag.
• Rhyming Names: His first and last names both rhyme with "choice".
• Sick Episode: In "Get Well Soon, Roys Bedoys!", he gets what appears to be a cold or the flu.
• Sore Loser: He's known to get angry if he loses at games.
• Sweet Tooth: He greatly enjoys cake, ice cream, and other such confections.

Roys's younger brother, of approximately two years, who often acts as the voice of reason.

• Birthday Episode: He celebrates his (presumably second) birthday in "Don't Hog All the Attention, Roys Bedoys!".
• Friendship Denial: States that he has no friends, but spends an awful lot of time with Roys's classmates and even invites them to his birthday party.
• I Don't Think That's Such a Good Idea: He's commonly the one to point out Loys's bad ideas.
• Only Sane Man: Despite being a toddler, he is often the voice of reason and serves to tell Loys when he's making bad choices.
• Rhyming Names: Loys Bedoys.
• Wise Beyond Their Years: Even though he's a toddler, he's still more sensible than Roys, and at one point he even wishes he could read since he feels being able to read would "open up new doors" for him.

Roys and Joys's younger sister, a baby.

• My Name Is: Her name is pronounced the same as "Joyce".
• Odd Name Out: She's the only female character with a made-up name, and also the only girl to have a known last name.
• Rhyming Names: Just like her brothers, her first and last names rhyme.
• Sixth Ranger: She wasn't introduced until "Meet the Baby, Roys Bedoys", in which she was born.
• Sleepyhead: Justified. She's often seen napping, but that makes sense considering she's only a baby.

Another girl in Roys's class, who's sometimes stated to be poor.
