Character

[edit]

Personality

[edit]

He is adventurous and energetic, qualities which can get him into adventure and trouble.[17] Despite acting carelessly at times, he is loyal to his friends and family and seeks to do what is right. He was the first person to befriend Anne and showed the most sympathy towards her plight; having to convince Hop Pop to take her in.[18] Despite being very close with Anne, he still prefers his own personal space and has admitted that he has no romantic interest in her.[19][20] While he can be at odds with Hop Pop,[21] Sprig does care about him and likes spending time with him.[22] Sprig also has a sibling rivalry with Polly, but is also protective of her.[23]

Fictional Biography

[edit]

Season 1

[edit]

Early in the first season, Sprig gets roped into an arranged marriage with Maddie Flour which they ultimately break off,[24] with Sprig realizing that Maddie is cool despite her personality.[25] He develops a closer relationship with Ivy Sundew, whom he has known since childhood. He initially saw her as a friend, but slowly fell in love with her and has since tried impressing her.[26][27] They become a couple by the end of the season.[28] When Sasha returns and pushes her influence on Anne, Sprig steps up for her, telling her that Anne deserved better and that she had been a terrible friend to her.[29]

Season 2

[edit]

In season two, Sprig and his family travel with Anne to Newtopia to look for clues regarding the Calamity Box.[30] While on the road, Sprig displays natural hunting skills, which he teaches to Anne,[31] as well as perfect vocal mimicry.[32] Upon arriving in Newtopia, the group meets Marcy and Sprig becomes highly suspicious of her and protective of Anne due to their past meeting with Sasha. However, he ultimately accepts her as a friend.[33] Sprig is also revealed to be smart to a certain degree, as he was immediately accepted into Newtopia University despite his age, but later drops out due to the pressure.[34] In "Hopping Mall", he tells Anne that he does not remember his mom as he was young, news which brings him and Anne closer together.[35] Upon returning to Wartwood, he begins to openly date Ivy Sundew.[36] In "True Colors", he, his family, and Anne fight Andrias, and accompany Anne back to her home in Los Angeles.[37]

Season 3

[edit]

In season three, Sprig and his family join Anne when she is transported back to Los Angeles.[38] He becomes particularly obsessed with being considered a Boonchuy as Anne is considered a Plantar.[39] He is revealed to be a natural in Sepak takraw.[40] He turns 11 in "Sprig's Birthday" and further reveals that his parents gave him his signature hat.[41] In "Spider-Sprig", he tries to become a superhero named Frog-Man, but gives up after realizing that he was simply seeking attention.[42] Sprig eventually returns to Amphibia with Anne and his family.[43] He resumes his relationship with Ivy, much to everyone's annoyance, but when the two of them nearly ruin a mission, they decide to pull it back a bit.[44] He also overcomes his prejudice with Grime and begins to take fighting advice from him.[45] Sprig becomes instrumental in defeating Andrias after reading him a letter he found that came from Leif, which is enough to invoke a feeling of regret within the disgraced king - enough to drive him to tears.[46]

After Anne saves Amphibia from the Core, Sprig finally accepts that she will have to leave Amphibia for good and says farewell to her. In the epilogue, he has devoted himself to becoming an adventurer and prepares to travel to a new continent alongside Ivy.[47]
