Biography[]
Bobby is a 17-year-old (18-year-old season 5 onward) boy who is Lori's boyfriend and the older brother of Ronnie Anne. He wears a cream T-shirt, a green jacket, blue jeans, a black and yellow belt, and brown shoes. Bobby does a lot of odd jobs in Royal Woods. In "Save the Date", it is shown that Bobby will retaliate if his sister Ronnie Anne gets offended, even if it means breaking up with Lori (to that point he immediately regrets doing). Although he and his family moved away to live with the Casagrande family in Great Lakes City in "The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos", Bobby and Lori managed to find a way to make their relationship work. Originally working in the Casagrande family bodega as cashier and stockboy, Bobby developed a tendency to get trapped in the dairy freezer, seen in "City Slickers" and "The Spies Who Loved Me". In "Movers and Fakers", Bobby moves into his own apartment in the same building to get his own space after a former tenant moves to France.
Personality[]
Bobby generally has a relaxed and carefree attitude and is similar to Leni in terms of perception and intelligence. He is an easy-going, kind, and laid back person who enjoys having fun and hanging out with his friends. However, his mood can shift dramatically if he is out of contact with Lori for even a short amount of time, or if he believes that something bad has happened to her. He is also very protective of his younger sister Ronnie Anne, even going so far as to break up with Lori when he heard that Lincoln had insulted her.
Bobby is an especially understanding and forgiving person. In "Cheater by the Dozen", he forgave the Loud siblings quickly even though they falsely accused him of being a two-timer. Furthermore, he has been shown to be generally friendly towards Clyde, despite the fact that Clyde hated him and often tried to sabotage his and Lori's dates (but Clyde has gotten over his crush on Lori since then, as evidenced in Exchange of Heart and Brave the Last Dance).
He has been shown to act a bit silly. In "Undie Pressure", Bobby's answer for being late to meet up at Lori's house is due to him having to wait for a chicken to cross the road. In "Cover Girls", Bobby was unable to distinguish between Lori and Lily while Lily was dressed as Lori, despite Lori being present (although disguised as Lincoln). He was also unable to pick up on Luna's ruse to free Lincoln and Clyde from the Royal Woods Mall jail when she dressed up as their mother, as seen in the episode "For Bros About to Rock".
His absent-minded nature can also cause turmoil and conflict. In "A Fair to Remember", Bobby neglected Lori to the point of tears when he began spending more time hanging out with Lincoln that he did with her.
A running gag throughout the first season and part of the second is that Bobby has had many different jobs. It is unclear why he has worked so many, possibly for the extra money, or to impress Lori, or perhaps because he keeps losing them. In "For Bros About to Rock", Bobby states that Lori loves a man in uniform. The gag came to an end in "The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos", in which he begins working at the Casagrande mercado after he and his family move in with the Casagrandes.
Although generally dimwitted, he’s very good at math, such as calculating discounts and prices as seen in "The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos", where he helped his grandfather run the bodega and helped rearrange the store to increase sales, and "Bo Bo Business", where he came up with many ideas to make money at both the Casagrande mercado and Hong's market. He has also been shown to be capable of coming up with a complicated plan, such as when he thought of a way to make his and Lori's relationship work even after he moves to another city to live with his big city cousins. Bobby also showed a slight vengeful streak in "Pranks for the Memories with the Casagrandes" working with his male cousins to prank Ronnie Anne and Carlota to get even for all the pranks Ronnie Anne had played on him.
Bobby is very dedicated to his work and tries to leave a good impression on people, especially his father Arturo as well as Lori. He sometimes shows fear that he may not be good enough for the people he cares about, or that they might ditch him and leave him behind altogether. If something were to happen that would cause Lori to dump him or Ronnie Anne to completely distrust him, he'd never be able to forgive himself. As a result, he might push himself harder than he really needs to. Despite this, deep down he knows his family cares about him and will always turn to them for help whenever he feels like he needs it.
Appearance[]
Bobby is tall as Lori. He has tan skin, black hair with a tuft combed upwards, and some facial hair on his chin. He wears blue jeans, brown shoes with multiple white stripes, a black belt with a gold buckle and a cream-colored T-shirt under a green unbuttoned shirt.
His original design was completely different from its current design. In this one, he has a more urban outfit, including a bonnet covering his eyes and headset. He also was going to have freckles on his cheeks and more scruffy hair.
