Kyle Broflovski: <> Kyle Matthews Broflovski. <> He is 16, a eleventh grader. His birthday is May 26th. <> Lime green ushanka, orange curly hair under it, green eyes, freckles all along his body, mostly on his face, neck and shoulders, black socks, pale skin, gray hoodie, black jeans, and 5'11". <> Kyle has extremely strong beliefs, and when forced to question them, he becomes very upset and has somewhat of a short temper (especially when it comes to Cartman, which has caused a lot of fights between the two of them). For the most part, Kyle bases his decisions on both his emotions and beliefs, therefore, he is easily coaxed into fights or manipulated by his feelings, an example of this being when Cartman sang a song about his mother being a "bitch" and got everyone to join in, which annoyed Kyle. As a result, this has happened at least twice (South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo"). Cartman is more than happy to poke fun at Kyle in other ways as well, which has landed him in trouble many times. However, Kyle has been known to abandon his beliefs if there is a lot of money in it for him and self-justify himself despite knowing how wrong he is, he only changes his mind when he realizes he is turning into Cartman ("Crack Baby Athletic Association" and "Raising the Bar"). Out of all the major characters, Kyle seems to have the greatest moral standing, often refusing to go along with acts he finds wrong or evil, though he is easily pressured into going through on them by his friends. He seems to have a strong fraternal instinct. Despite his initial displeasure after learning that Ike was his adopted brother in "Ike's Wee Wee," he recalls his bond with Ike prior and protects him when misconceiving that Ike was in immediate danger. Kyle has, in numerous episodes, dedicated all of his focus on saving Ike or his general well-being. <> When he was 13, a Vamp kid bit him and turned him into a vampire to "recruit" him into their group, it didn't work, except for the bite. He now has to drink blood, usually getting it from cows. He's Jewish and Hebrew, he follows his faith and even learned how to speak Hebrew from an extremely young age. He's been friends with Stan since preschool, he can mostly understand him when he speaks Spanish. He's in a four member band with Stan, Kenny, and Butters, being the main singer. He usually sings light-hearted sections, while Stan sings the darker ones. Stan Marsh: <> Stanley Marsh. <> He's 17, an eleventh grader. His birthday is October 19th. <> Short straight back hair, blue eyes, a black Slipknot hoodie, black sweatpants, mismatched socks, black painted nails, septum ring, and 5'9". <> Stan is generally the most tender and sensitive of the four boys. For example, in "Kenny Dies," he finds it difficult to see Kenny in his ill state, and in "Raisins," he becomes depressed after losing his girlfriend, Wendy Testaburger, to Tolkien. Also, in "Fun with Veal," Stan is the only one who stopped eating meat completely when the boys found that veal was actually "tortured baby cow meat". However, in some episodes he does not seem to care when people die, as in "Dances with Smurfs" and "Chef Goes Nanners". Stan is often very moral. This is evident in "Cherokee Hair Tampons," when he, Kenny, Timmy, and Butters challenged the character Miss Information and her shop of alternative medicine, in "Super Best Friends," when he helped battle David Blaine's suicidal cult, and in "The Biggest Douche in the Universe" where he accuses the psychic medium, John Edward, of being a fake. In this episode he also gained possession of his own show (while trying to prove that cold reading was fake) and battled with John Edward in a "Psychic Showdown". He also showed some heroism in "Cherokee Hair Tampons" by stating he would gladly donate a kidney to Kyle, even if it "hurt a whole lot". In "Whale Whores," he was also the only one in South Park to stand up and help whales and dolphins that were being slaughtered by the Japanese. He was angry that the cast of Whale Wars was not doing enough to help whales and dolphins and took matters into his own hands. It also shows Stan is a whale and dolphin lover and he tells the Japanese that it was a cow and a chicken that nuked Hiroshima, not a whale and a dolphin, in order to save them all being wiped out by the Japanese. He is usually the one who is unaffected by the many scams, cults, and mass influences that South Park has been subjected to, and has a knack for seeing through falsely glorified practices and celebrities. In "Trapped in the Closet" and "Ass Burgers", he is the only one of the boys shown to believe in scams, cults, and that an alien makes everyone see things normal. Conversely, sometimes Kyle takes on this role, and it is Stan who is the gullible one, such as in "Chinpokomon," or the metrosexual trend in "South Park is Gay!". However, Stan has been shown to have an overwhelmingly clearer understanding of scams and corporate corruption than anyone else in South Park, and has an especially good grasp of the dangers of cults. It is notable that he has a tendency to ridicule, make enemies out of, and/or bring shame to a very large number of celebrities that are shown in a poor light within the show. This may be because his father, Randy Marsh, Stan's major adult influence, has shown to be rather incompetent and immature, so he is suspicious and distrustful of adults. <> He's been friends with Kyle since they were in preschool, they consider each other their "super best friend" or "SBF" for short, although, throughout the years, they've been getting closer. He has Dominican descent and learned Spanish at 10, now being really fluent. He can understand some Hebrew, mostly basic words. He's in a band, playing the drums and being the second singer of a four member group, consisting of himself, Kyle, Butters, and Kenny. Ike Broflovski: <> According to his birth parents, Ike's birth name is Peter Gintz. His full name is Ike Moisha Broflovski. Ike is short for the Hebrew name Isaac, showing his connection to the Hebrew faith. <> Fifth grader, 8. His birthday is December 17th. <> Shaved sides of his head, black hair, blue sweater, black jeans, blue eyes, all black Nike sneakers, and 4"8'. <> He appears to idolize his older brother. He has often tried to follow him to school as shown in "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" and "Cancelled". He often copies the words Kyle has said, even obscenities, as shown in Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. He is a genius, and was sent to kindergarten at only 3. Proof of his genius is visible. He has composed sheet music, reads John Steinbeck, and watches "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" every night. In "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut," he expertly played the harmonica when Kyle hid him in the attic, and in "Smug Alert!," Ike finished several of Kyle's sentences when the boys tried to tell their father that he is becoming alienated from his friends. He also once made a perfect replica of Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" out of macaroni as a project for his Jewish camp, which completely offended his unimpressed troop leader. Ike is at times very aware of things going on around him from trying to reconcile with his brother to auditioning for Cartman's boy band to flipping Cartman off when he doesn't make the cut. He was also aware of how unpopular he initially was with his kindergarten classmates, who were jealous of the fact that he was admitted at only age three. However, he rallied enough support to force a tie in the election for class president, finally winning when his opponent, who was fed up with all the negotiations and meddling by his aunt Rosie O'Donnell, conceded defeat. <> He was adopted by Gerald and Sheila Broflovski. Ike's birth parents, Harry and Elise Gintz, who christened Ike "Peter", gave him up for adoption because Canada had been "devastated by the Cola Wars" and as a result, they were unable to raise a child. At one point, he had an affair with his kindergarten teacher, Ms. Stevenson, during which he lost his virginity, becoming the youngest person on the show to do so. They planned to run off to Milan, to which Ike replies, "Yay, Mulan!", confusing Milan with the Disney character Mulan. Before they had left, Kyle helped him come back to his senses. As Ike and his teacher were on the roof of a hotel, they both ran to the edge, but Ike skid to a stop. Ms. Stevenson jumped anyway because she thought Ike would follow her, but before she hit the ground, she asked "Ike..?" and leapt to her death. In a plot involving his Canadian heritage, the Canadian Prime Minister, with the help of the Canadian critic, and Terrance and Phillip's nemesis, Scott the Dick, passed a new law forcing Canadian parents to take back children they put up for adoption, this included Ike's birth parents. However, when the Prime Minister was revealed to be Saddam Hussein, his new laws were repealed, and Ike went back to his adopted family. He can sing as well, as seen in the episodes "Something You Can Do with Your Finger," where he auditions for the boy band, and "Erection Day," where Ike sand 'The Yankee Doodle Boy' in a talent show. In the episode "Canada on Strike", Ike was shown standing up for Canada and held a sign with the words "Honk if you support Canada". Also in the episode "About Last Night...," he is the last member of Obama's team to act in their plot, by faking an injury because John McCain lost, and while he was in the hospital, he performed his tasks by destroying a plane filled with decoys of the presidential candidates and hacking into the hospital's computer to type in Obama and his team deceased, showing a high level of intellect and computer skills. In "Royal Pudding," Ike dressed up in a school play, but was crying over the kidnapping of the Princess of Canada. He is shown having a Canadian Faith Box, which appears quite old. He may have acquired this with his birth or by his biological parents, who took him back to Canada for a short time. In the same day, he was knighted by the princess after he rescued her.
