Hi, I'm Wiiguy, but you can call me William.

I just love the Phineas and Ferb show. The animation is colorful and warm; The humor is witty; But most important of all are the characters. Unlike other cartoons, like Spongebob where all the core characters are annoying/insulting each other, the characters of Phineas and Ferb are actual living, breathing people who have fun during summer; even the two core antagonists, Candace and Dr. Doofenshmirtz, have had enough episodes to show their good sides, unlike Vicky the Babysitter from Fairly Odd Parents.

As every P+F fan should know, the five core characters who are in every episode (save for one episode) are: Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Perry, and Dr. Doofenshmirtz ("Doof" for short). The show usually makes its episode with two basic plots: 1. Phineas and Ferb building something to make summer fun everyday, while Candace plays spoilsport, trying to bust them for reasons I think even she does not know. 2. Perry goes to battle Doofenshmirtz, preventing him from causing trouble for the Tri-State Area. 3. Sometimes, Candace won't bother busting the boys and hang out with her boyfriend Jeremy or best friend, Stacy. Plot 1 deals with having fun in summer, no matter how impossible it is; while Plot 2 deals with action/chase sequences, with cartoonish physical violence appropriate enough for a family show.

Later, I shall describe the relationships between the characters. But for now, I will describe the characters' personalities in my own words as best as possible. I must warn you that it's hard for me to describe Ferb's personality due to his usual silence, so I'm skipping him.

Phineas: The boy who is a little young to be building this kind of stuff, yet NEVER tries to do bad stuff behind his parents' back. An incurable optimist, it would take a great deal to make him mad or have a mental breakdown. His personality doesn't seem to change as much compared to the other characters. Like an incarnation of Walt Disney himself, he leads a group of friends to make his seemingly impossible plans and ideas reality.

Candace: The girl with the "honor" of being a bad tv show role model, due to reinforcing the gender stereotype that teen girls should get their siblings in trouble and be the object of her boyfriend's affections. Despite this, Candace is no Vicky the Babysitter. Candace never lies about what the boys are doing; has anxieties about herself and what others, like her boyfriend, think of her, just like real people; it's natural to feel stress: It's like an alarm to tell you to make adjustments to your life. No, at her worst, Candace is an angel compared to Vicky at her best (if there even exists a 'best' for 'Icky with a V'); Vicky has no kindness whatsoever; Candace is generally unsupportive of her brothers, but is friendly to her teen friends. Candace's enduring relationship with Phineas is what made her my favorite of the five Core Characters. I sometimes like to call myself Candace Defender because of that.

Perry: In the tv show, Perry is the example of non-verbal communication. Despite being unable to speak, he makes his thoughts known through facial expressions and body language. Seems to be serious all the time, due to his determined face, but work is not all he cares about. He loves watching sad soap operas when no one else is around.

Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz: Evil scientist with a history of backstories that seem exaggerated at first and a desire to rule the world. Yet over time, we see him question his own schemes sometimes and him as a overprotective father who doesn't want his daughter to go through the same neglect and abuse that his own parents have given him. He even gives proper respect to his foe, when he fails spectacularly at end of the day. Yes, he is evil enough to be a threat to society; yet not evil enough to seem completely unsympathetic, like Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars.
