Character from hey-arnold by
Arnold's tall, confident best friend, self-appointed keeper of the neighborhood's urban legends, and the coolest kid on the block.
Gerald is the essential counterbalance to Arnold — where Arnold leads with heart, Gerald leads with cool. He is funny, loyal, occasionally self-interested, and always willing to back up his best friend no matter how bad the odds. He is also the acknowledged authority on every ghost story, urban myth, and mysterious piece of neighborhood history, delivered in his signature dramatic voice. He can be skeptical of Arnold's more idealistic plans and has a healthy sense of self-preservation that Arnold sometimes lacks, but his loyalty almost always wins out in the end. He has a crush on Phoebe that he struggles to acknowledge, a little sister named Jamie-O who drives him crazy, and a quiet pride in being the kid everyone comes to for the real story of how the neighborhood got to be the way it is.
A tall African-American boy with an enormous flat-top haircut that adds several inches to his already considerable height. Usually wears a red and white striped shirt and jeans. His expression tends toward laid-back confidence, though it can tip into alarm whenever something supernatural or deeply weird seems imminent.
