Bobang Chang, more commonly known as Bobo, is a chubby 11 year-old boy who recently immigrated to the U.S. with his family. With a perfectly round face, Bobo weighs almost 150 pounds. On that round face sits a squat little nose, pudgy eyes, and a big mouth that is always turned upward in a smile. Bobo’s pudgy eyes match his dark brown, almost black hair. All in all, his features give people the impression of a good natured kid.
Although Bobo’s face features do not suggest this, he is already 5’5”. Bobo was not always the tallest in his class. Since first grade he had been barely scraping four feet. He stayed barely four feet tall for almost four years. Then, during the end of fourth grade, Bobo finally started growing again. But he did not just grow slowly, he actually hit his growth spurt! Now, towering over everyone else, his body size has gone from almost obese to chubby. Usually, Bobo’s outfit is always the same style; a pair of baggy sweatpants, a size Large V-neck t-shirt, a nice sweatshirt to put over it, and a comfortable pair of tennis shoes for his rather wide feet. Although his parents are pretty wealthy, Bobo likes to wear plain clothes.
The Chang family is pretty much a normal family. Bobo, his parents, older sister, and grandparents all live in their small mansion. Both parents are PhD’s, but not very busy and support the family easily. Bobo’s dad works slightly more than his mom to allow her to spend time with Bobo and his sister, Bella. Bobo’s grandparents mainly stay home and cook meals for the family when they do not go out to eat. His grandma is really smart, so she helps the kids with homework. Bobo and Bella have totally opposite personalities. While Bobo just wears plain clothes, Bella is all about the latest fashion. While the style of her clothes attracts many boys, Bobo doesn’t appeal to the girls at school. Bella is a slim girl, a total reverse from the chubby Bobo. But despite all the differences, Bobo is as close to Bella as a sibling can ever get. Bella even gave Bobo another nickname, Pussy Cat.
There were many factors that led Bella to call Bobo “Pussy Cat.” Bobo was a timid boy from the moment he was born. He never wore clothes that weren’t mainly the colors black, gray, or tan. Until he reached his 8th birthday, Pussy Cat would have nightmares from rated PG movies. And even though he is already eleven years old, he’s still scared of the dark “ghosts” that hide in the shadows of every corner. Until only a year ago, he was still scared of those baby roller coasters that went only five miles an hour.
What kind of voice would you expect from a chubby, good natured looking kid that is called Bobo? Still a baby voice, right? Well, you are dead wrong! Surprisingly, Bobo’s voice is in the middle of changing and cracks a lot. But even though he is going through the process of maturing, his face is still clear of pimples. When he speaks, he uses perfect grammar and has no hint of an Asian accent. This section of dialogue will show you how Bobo introduces himself to one of his dad’s friends: “It is an honor to meet you, Mr. X. A-hem! Please sit down (A-hem!) while we wait for my father’s return.”
At school, his grades are all at least an A. Some credit should go to his awesome tutor grandma. One of his favorite subjects is Algebra, because it is the easiest to learn. Bobo has a natural sense of numbers. He likes science even more than math, though; especially the biology section. Bobo is very interested in how everything in the human body works. The other subjects are all pretty easy and enjoyable, even PE, unless it comes to running a mile. The sad part is that since Bobo is kind of a nerd, he doesn’t have a lot of friends. Only two people does he consider to be his true friends.
One of the reasons Bobo is kind of chubby is because of his interest in food. He really has no favorite food. He loves anything edible. He enjoys all cuisines: American, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Italian, French, German, you name it! But if picking a favorite food was a matter of life and death, then Bobo would decide on sashimi as his number one.
EXPLANATION
Personally, I think parts of Bobo the Pussycat are very similar to me. This guy reminds me of what I was like when I was still in elementary school. This character was easy for me to create, for it was based on an earlier version of me.
