For my character research I chose to do Shaggy from Scooby
Doo. Shaggy is Scooby’s owner and shares many characteristics with Scooby. Both
are pretty mellow and love to eat. Shaggy’s appearance greatly reflects his
name; he has a shaggy beard along with his haircut, which is referred to many
as a shag. His hair never was combed perfectly, there was always a piece in the back sticking out. When it comes to solving mysteries both are frightened most of the
time. Throughout the series, besides Scooby Shaggy is one of the most memorable
characters. Even today kids in high school sometimes refer to a facial hair
style as the Shaggy (a few wimpy strands of hair on the chin) Shaggy’s
background is kind of unclear at times. He originated from a place called
Coolville and has two parents. I think his popularity is somewhat do to his
sense of style in the time period. He was portrayed as kind of a laid back
surfer, which was popular around that time. He is also memorable due to his
voice. Almost every statement he makes either starts or ends with the word
“like”.The colors used on his clothing where never changed which added to a
“whatever” type vibe compared to Fred who always had a different colored scarf and
was extremely well dressed. The colors of a red-brown and green added to the
mellow vibe. His popularity is proved due to the fact he is the only character
besides Scooby to appear in every stage of the series including the movies.
From his voice to his overall relaxed appearance Shaggy was able to captivate
his audiences and become a memorable character.
