Hobbes (Calvin Who)

"(Why is it important that I'm a tiger?)"

Hobbes was on of the main protagonists of Calvin Who. He was a stuffed tiger that had unusal properties- namely, being able to become a normal tiger in the eyes of some people. His best friend was Calvin.

History
Hobbes apparently escaped from a time loop that his home town was in using the Time Machine. He traveled about for a bit with Calvin before meeting Rose Tyler.

Undated events

 * Hobbes met Cleopatra at one point.
 * It's also implied that he kissed Zaphod Beeblebrox, too.

Alternate Timelines

 * In an alternate future timeline, he was turned into a tigerskin rug by Grandfather. That timeline was negated, though.

Personality
Hobbes is bouncy and easygoing, with a cheeky streak. He's the resident shipper, pointing out how cute people would be as a pair.

Habits and Quirks
Hobbes loves to pounce on people, and still has tiger instincts despite having been with Calvin for a very long time.

Skills
Hobbes' main skill is being a stuffed toy when adults look at him. He also knows a considerable amount about technology and gadgets.

Appearance
When in stuffed toy mode, he's about Calvin's height. He has black button eyes, and is made out of cloth. When he's 'real', he's about Rose's height, and has opposable thumbs like a human would. In fact, he's mostly humanoid, and has black, orange and white fur like a normal tiger would.

Relationships
Calvin and Hobbes are best friends, and that's the end of that.

Rose and Hobbes are best friends too, and he's perfectly okay with hugging her and holding her hand, and occasionally comforting her when she's down.

Ace tends to compete with Hobbes a fair bit, with them often attempting to outdo each other with achievements and the like. At the end of the day, they're both good with wrecking things, and that's that.

Hobbes and Jack don't interact all that much, but they seem to be friends too. Hobbes is everyone's friend! Yay!

Behind the scenes

 * Hobbes was named after Thomas Hobbes, the famous philosopher.
