“	I should be more important! I should be the one with the sidekick and the exciting adventures! I'm more handsome, richer, and more colorful than you guys, and YET, it's like I'm the supporting character of my own life!	„
	~ Tobias expressing his concerns with Gumball and Darwin in "The Voice."

Tobias Wilson is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. He is a student in Miss Simian's class at Elmore Junior High.

He is voiced by Rupert Degas in season 1, and Hugo Harold-Harrison in season 2 onwards.

Appearance[]

Tobias is a multi-colored, fluffy, cloud-like humanoid character. His body is colored a blue, red, and yellowish-orange gradient, he can change his colors at will. He wears red-white shoes, a green-white headband, and two green wristbands. He has blue lips and is usually seen with three fingers but sometimes four.

Personality[]

Tobias is a show-off. He believes that he is a heavily built jock, but in reality, he is not. Despite his not having a good athletic build, he is obsessed with sports and is always trying to hone his scrawny physique. He also seems to have a very big ego, even to the point of becoming a jerk, similar to Gumball, but Tobias is more arrogant while Gumball is sympathetic.

Because of his inflated ego, Tobias is more confident in his abilities to court Penny Fitzgerald than Gumball is. Tobias can also be somewhat of a bully sometimes, such as when he was tossing Anais' plush Daisy doll around on the bus, and seemed quite eager to hurt Gumball in "The Knights." Also, in "The Robot," he insults Bobert, calling him "Robo-dork" and commenting on his apparent lack of feelings. Also, in "The Uploads," Tobias found it funny when his father got hurt from falling off a skateboard that he placed in front of a staircase for a prank. In "The One," it is shown that because of Tobias' narcissism, he does not understand true friendship. He tries to insert himself into Gumball's life and tries to eliminate Gumball's other friends (including Darwin) so he can be the only one left. He seems to realize the error of his ways after Gumball sets him straight.

Tobias often tries to be a womanizer. He is very quick to make moves on every girl he sees (his father displayed similar behavior at his age in "The Choices" when talking to Nicole at a younger age.) Despite all of these girls showing disgust toward Tobias' advances, he continues to pursue these girls in hopes of one day having someone further inflate his ego and "macho" antics.

According to Alan Keane in "The Third," Tobias comes from a wealthier household than most of his classmates. More proof of Tobias' wealth is shown in the episode "The Candidate" where his parents funded a significant part of the books, food, etc.

Despite his obnoxious traits, he is generally amicable, friendly, and well-intentioned, often assisting the protagonists when necessary.
