Character Introduction: Louise Belcher

 "You could sell your soul. I did, and look at me! I'm fine!"

        Louise Belcher is the youngest and most mischievous child of Robert (Bob) and Linda Belcher, living in the fictional town of Seymour's Bay, New Jersey. She has an older brother and sister, Eugene (Gene) and Tina. The Belchers can be considered a working class family, running their own hamburger restaurant on the boardwalk, and often struggle just to keep their heads above water. Her father Bob, is known for creating unique and involved "burger(s) of the day" and heading the restaurant, while her mother Linda, deals with bookkeeping, vendors, and keeping up with the kids' day-to-day antics. 

        Louise is known for her unusual lack of naiveté (for her age) and incredibly sarcastic personality. At times, she has a cynical attitude. Out of the three children, Louise often gets herself into the most trouble and can be considered the most intelligent. While she may get herself into the most trouble, she is known for being cunning, quick thinking, and has been able to stump adults and other grown-ups on numerous occasions. She is close to her family, very protective of her siblings, and has much affection for Bob. While she often questions what she is expected to do at school, is always trying to bend the rules, and is often at war with her school's guidance counselor over petty situations, she also displays an interest in anime, stuffed animals, and toys like any other young child. Louise is also known for her signature pink bunny ears, which never leave her head, no matter the day, time, or setting. Out of the entire family, she is the most aggressive and manipulative, despite being very bright and plucky.
