Sharon Marsh: <> She is 54. Her birthday is December 16th. <> A brown sweater with red frilly ruffles on the cuffs and the collar, dark blue jeans, short brown hair, blue eyes, and black flats. At night, she wears a creamy-white, knee-length nightgown with pink lining at the hem and neck, and two orange-yellow flowers embroidered on the chest. For special occasions, she wears a brown dress with red trimming on top or a plain black dress, a pearl necklace, and gold earrings. She's farsighted, and when she's reading or doing finances, she wears reading glasses. <> She is a devout Roman Catholic, though doesn't use the newer Bibles, often opting to use the older versions to be less "based". She works as the receptionist at Tom's Rhinoplasty. She was portrayed in earlier seasons as a loving, but stern suburban mother. She wanted to protect Stan from the 'dirty' language and vulgar humor of his favorite cartoon, Terrance and Phillip, in "Death" and South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. In "Spookyfish," she was so protective that she buried the bodies of people she thought Stan had killed, in order to prevent Stan from being charged with murder. In actuality, it was his new pet goldfish that murdered the people, to which she felt regretful for not realizing in the first place. She was also unofficially in charge of the movement against Chinpokomon dolls in "Chinpokomon". However, she has often been caught up in fads around town, such as holistic medicine in "Cherokee Hair Tampons" and atheism in "Red Hot Catholic Love". During the episodes in which she was voiced by April Stewart, she had become the sane half of her marriage. She served as a foil to the craziness that surrounds her, craziness is often caused by her husband, Randy. In "The Losing Edge," she was embarrassed by Randy getting drunk and starting fights at Stan's little league games. This was lost on Randy, who imagined her cheering him on in his big fight against the Bat Dad. In "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson," she was noticeably upset and disappointed in the car ride home after Randy had said the n-word on Wheel Of Fortune. In the Pandemic story arc, she got repeatedly angry at Randy for videotaping the guinea pig attacks. In the episode "You're Getting Old," she revealed she had been unhappy with her marriage and couldn't fake it anymore, claiming her life feels like the same ridiculous shit every week, and as a result, divorced her husband and moved with her son and daughter to a new home while Randy moved away from himself, they did make up and remarry 8 months after that. Randy and Sharon have not had a major falling out since then, implying that their relationship has improved significantly. <> Sharon is generally portrayed as a standard suburban wife and mother. In comparison to her husband Randy, she is usually levelheaded, patient, and rational, similar to her son,1 Stan. Randy Marsh: <> He is 51. His birthday is March 1st. <> A white shirt under a blue-cyan jacket with two pockets on each side and the sleeves up, black pants, brown eyes, and black shoes. His left-side pocket usually has a yellow, red, and blue pen with a pocket protector. He has thick, black hair with parted bangs, and a thick black mustache, both of which seem to evoke a 1970s hairstyle. At bedtime, he wears deep blue pajamas with a long-sleeved shirt and gray slippers. Though he appears slim and in shape when clothed, he is rather flabby, and has a protruding stomach, as seen when naked. He also has prosthetic testicles following the removal of his own due to his self-induced testicular cancer as seen in Season Fourteen's "Medicinal Fried Chicken". In his special occasion outfit, which consists of a white dress shirt, a light blue tuxedo, blue pants, and a gold tie, Randy has a gold handkerchief in his blue coat pocket. <> Randy Marsh is a huge liberal, only turning to conservatism when he is in a major problem, goes into an obsession stance, or misunderstands something. His political views are confirmed after he is seen supporting Barack Obama. He also strongly supported Hillary Clinton's run for presidency, but made it clear this was an unusual occurrence and was only supporting her because of his dislike of Herbert Garrison, although he is briefly enticed by Garrison's run once. He has a very unhealthy addiction to masturbation. He often masturbates without thinking straight and becomes obsessive on whatever he is masturbating on. In "Crème Fraiche," he was beating it to cooking shows. This soon became an obsession where he became the chef in the elementary school in the town and had his own cooking show, and it forced Sharon to give him an "old fashioned" in order to end his obsession and save their marriage. He has a drinking problem. Cartman mentioned it, at one point stating, "Looks like Stan's dad's been hitting the bottle again.". His problem was more closely examined in "Bloody Mary," after he was pulled over for suspicion of drunk driving. He got a DUI and his driver's license was suspended. The judge made him go around schools, including South Park Elementary, to explain to kids why heavy drinking is bad and sentenced him to two weeks of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. As a result of the A.A. meetings, he misunderstood the concept of alcoholism and believed that only spirituality could cure him of this. He has been depicted as everything from a casual drinker to a heavy alcoholic. He is still not as bad as Kenny's father, Stuart McCormick, as, unlike the latter, he is sober most of the time. He's a binge drinker, one who stays sober most of the time, but drinks heavily at suitable instances. He might have a family history of alcoholism because his son, Stan, was seen getting drunk in order to avoid his cynicism in "You're Getting Old". He denies his alcoholism. He has an unhealthy attraction to marijuana, going as far as to intentionally giving himself cancer just so he could get his hands on legal marijuana. He tried many ways to get cancer, such as smoking, getting a tan, and attaching cell phones to his face. He eventually came up with the idea of sticking his testicles in a microwave just to get weed. Ten other men, including Jimbo and Ned, soon follow his example. Ultimately, he purchased a hemp farm and gave up geology to begin his own marijuana business, Tegridy Farms. He and his wife were hippies and met in Woodstock in 1969 when they were teenagers, which match their ages. He also has a Ph.D. in Geology as he's been called Dr. Marsh on two separate occasions. In "Pinewood Derby," he made Stan cheat in his derby race, accidentally discovered warp drive, and consequently became the first contact for aliens coming to Earth. He and the leaders of the world keep trying to cover their lies. He grounded Stan for telling the truth, however, he and the others lied to the aliens. As punishment for failing that test so badly, Earth and the Moon are permanently enclosed in a gigantic, cubical force field, isolated from the rest of the Universe, to which Randy said, "Well, that sucks.". He has driven red sedans, Lexus RX300s, and Lincoln Navigators. In "Smug Alert!," he drove a Honda Civic Hybrid, which is his current car. He is currently a hemp farmer. He's had numerous other occupations throughout his life, the most notable one being a geologist, as well as a Wall-Mart employee, an elementary chef, a "Tween Wave" singer, a "Sarcastiball" coach, mall security, Blockbuster owner, a magician, a musical writer, composer and director, and Lorde, a music artist, who he still is. He has an extremely addictive personality and has more unhealthy obsessions than any other adult in South Park. Sharon tries to dissuade him, but tends to fail. <> Randy is often portrayed as an intelligent, but simultaneously dim-witted, quick to think, naive man and a clumsy idiot most of the time, while all the same, a caring, doting father. However, he is also obsessive and when he gets engrossed in something, his personality turns to the exact opposite. He becomes immature, childish, and dumb during the obsession phases. He has a habit of being led astray by new fads or events, like many of the characters. All the same, he has also been known to go completely against such things, though his reasons are usually selfish and immature. He is obsessive with a few things, as evidenced with his video camera in "Pandemic" when he videotaped his father, Marvin Marsh, in the bathtub, Sharon, Stan and Shelley eating dinner, which is implied to have happened multiple times, a Peruvian flute band outside the house, asking Stan to go outside next to them, Sharon and Shelley watching CNN, Sharon talking to the Broflovski's and Tucker's about their missing boys, Sharon calling someone to help with the missing boys and the gargantuan guinea pigs rampaging through town. Sharon frequently reprimanded Randy for doing this, calling him an idiot at one point. He is shown to be very violent at times. He often is in mobs and once flipped over Korn's truck. He chopped off a man's hand, and perhaps killed him, in order to stop Stan from knowing that he was a fake in "My Future Self n' Me". He is shown in the end of "I'm a Little Bit Country," fighting with Skeeter. He is shown to be very violent again in "The Losing Edge," beating up rival baseball dads. He shot off a man's head when he feared a man was becoming homeless when homeless people took over the town. He had beaten up a woman in "T.M.I." after she questioned his theory about penis sizes, implying that he is hostile to anyone who accuses him of having a small dick, which also explained Cartman's personality. He also got sent to anger management and then took over a FedEx building with Cartman, Tuong Lu Kim, Michael, and Butters. He also joined the civil war re-enactors with Cartman and looted, raped, and tortured. In "Night of the Living Homeless," Randy was armed with a shotgun, while hiding with other parents on top of the community center. While he did not use his weapon against the surrounding homeless, he did decapitate Glen as punishment for being homeless. He doesn't not like chicken and cherry pop-tarts, as he expressed disgust when Linda Stotch pointed out that those were the only ones left. He has a tendency to act very melodramatically. Whenever things get surreal in the show, and he is calling for his son, he usually puts on an act of being very ill and weak, and moaning Stan's name out: "Staaaaaan!". He is also shown to be a hypochondriac. He also seems to drink a lot of coffee, shown carrying a cup of Joe at one point or another. Shelley Marsh: <> She is a sophomore in college, 20. Her birthday is November 24th. <> Gray shirt, pink pants, shoulder-length, messy brown hair with bangs, orthodontic headgear, because of that, she is usually scowling or frowning and rarely smiles, has a distinct adenoidal, somewhat masculine, slurred voice, where she breathes heavily through her mouth and nose and has a lisp, and brown eyes. On some occasions, she has been seen with her pajamas on, her pajama shirt is dark pink and her pants are light pink. On special occasions, she wears a pink dress, while at funerals, she wears a variation of the pink dress, but it's black and dark red. <> Shelley is a Roman Catholic. Though she retained a mean streak, she was humanized much more in future appearances. Her softer side was first seen in "Cat Orgy," when she babysat Eric Cartman and found some friendship with him when he helped to humiliate Skyler Morse, who claimed to be her boyfriend despite being an adult. She was also willing to compromise with the kids in exchange for a favor in "The New Terrance and Phillip Movie Trailer," requesting tampons in exchange for the television and even offered to help the boys in "Pre-School" if they made amends for having hurt their own teacher, though she reinforced her intimidation towards the boys. She was found trying to vape in "Tegridy Farms," inspiring her father to move to start a marijuana farm, and she has consistently and vocally opposed the business, which Randy has taken to describing as her having a "marijuana problem". The "Tegridy Farms Halloween Special" focuses on this relationship in particular, revealing she likes to attend the school book fair and enjoys reading. She has been shown with a number of interests over the course of her life. Her favorite television series include Friends, which she watches with Skyler in "Cat Orgy," Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which she was watching in "Pre-School" and most famously, she is a big fan of Russell Crowe, Fightin' Around The World, as mentioned in "The New Terrance and Phillip Movie Trailer," proclaiming the only thing she loves more than Crowe is seeing Stan unhappy. Her favorite music includes Britney Spears music, mentioned in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut as well as Lorde, who is shown to be one of her heroes in "#REHASH". She enjoys reading, as she mentioned throughout "Tegridy Farms Halloween Special". She also seems to enjoy playing the Settlers of Catan on Xbox, which she used as a bonding activity with Larry Feegan. Besides these electronic pastimes, she is also a Girl Scout Den Leader. There are a number of posters seen in her room that may indicate other interests, although they aren't mentioned that much. These include a poster with horses, suggesting that she has some interest in them, and a Sadie Dakota poster, in parody of Hannah Montana. She can be seen with a Frozen poster in "The Cissy" and a Uniters of the Universe, a parody of Guardians of the Galaxy, can also be seen. She is shown to be exceptionally strong, even relative to her age. In "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig," she was able to subdue Stan's mutant clone, which was wreaking havoc upon the town and lifting full-grown adults. In "Chickenpox," she, despite being in the hospital with chickenpox, manages to beat up Stan and flip him into objects, which Sharon pays no attention to. She was even able to pick up an entire piano in "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics" and drop it on Stan and Kyle. In "Pre-School," the boys turned to her as a last resort when the sixth graders could not stop Trent Boyett, which could likely imply that she alone is stronger than all of the sixth graders combined. She can play the piano relatively well, a seen by her performance of "I Saw Three Ships" in "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics". She can also sing, though not as well, as illustrated by "Turds!" in "Cat Orgy". <> Shelley is often defined by her anger and aggression towards others, which she often expresses towards her brother Stan, with whom she has had a contentious and difficult relationship with. Even when heartbroken over not being able to see her boyfriend in "Over Logging," when Stan tries to comfort her, she nonetheless attacks him to express her feelings. Though his friends do not tend to take Stan very seriously when he discusses her behavior, they nonetheless appear intimidated by her as well. Her aggression seems to be rooted in an insecurity based on her looks, as mentioned by Stan in her debut, when he suggests she has been beating her up because she had been given new orthodontic headgear, and she admits in "Cat Orgy" that nobody had ever liked her before and that nobody would go out with her because she was "ugly". She accuses Stan more than once of staring at her braces and accuses him of lying when he denies it, further suggesting serious insecurity. She has also exhibited jealousy of her mother's relationship with her brother, accusing her of "always taking Stan's side,", though Stan has conversely claimed they believe she is "innocent and sweet," suggesting they both feel competitive towards their parents' feelings. She has often expressed open belief that most other individuals are dumb or stupid, often referring to them as "turds," and in "Tegridy Farms Halloween Special," she expresses concern that marijuana is making others dumber than they already are. However, she is also shown to be compassionate, and is willing to protect her brother from threats besides herself, most prominently in "Pre-School" where she vows to protect Stan and his friends from being harmed by Trent Boyett because killing them is her job, but conditions her protection that they come out confess the truth about what happened, and emphasizing their responsibility for their actions. This suggests she shares her mother and brother's sense of morality. Stan Marsh: <> Stanley Marsh. <> He's 17, an eleventh grader. His birthday is October 19th. <> 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 "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. He plays similarly to how the band Pierce The Veil utilizes the drums and he sings like he's screaming, like Vic Fuentes or in "Twist" by Korn at times. <> Sparky is Stan Marsh's pet dog, who is part Doberman and part wolf, and is claimed by Stan to be "the toughest dog on the mountain". This assertion is challenged, however, by other South Park residents when Sparky's homosexual nature manifests, first with Sylvester and then with Clyde's dog, Rex. Overhearing Stan repeating an anti-gay tirade, first heard from Mr. Garrison, a heartbroken Sparky ran away to the shelter of Big Gay Al's Big Gay Animal Sanctuary. He enjoyed the idea of being accepted for who he was, but still missed Stan immensely. Stan too missed Sparky, and forgoing his responsibilities with the school football team, went in search of Sparky. Stan managed to locate the Big Gay Animal Shelter and Sparky was soon found and returned to Stan. Initially, Stan intended to help Sparky overcome his homosexuality, but Big Gay Al, realizing that Stan still didn't get it, had the two of them ride his Big Gay Boat Ride, where Stan learned that being gay is okay. Kyle Broflovski: <> Kyle Matthews Broflovski. <> He is 17, a tenth 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.
