Personality
Rocky does a lot of jobs around Elmore Junior High, ranging from janitor to cook and many more. He's a good friend to pretty much all the kids, and loves to hang out with them, especially Gumball, unlike his mean-spirited parents, who dislike Gumball. Rocky is also not very bright, much to the shame of his parents, who aren't very pleased about his career choices either. Nor is he good with women, having been dumped many times.
