Johnny Bravo Wiki

Little Suzy (or simply known as Suzy) is an intelligent young red-headed girl who is very persistent and talkative. She is Johnny Bravo's neighbor (with her name often forgotten by Johnny) and the tritagonist of the series.

Appearance[]

In Seasons 1 and 4, Little Suzy has medium-length red hair with black dot eyes. She wears a green headband, a yellow short-sleeved shirt, a green knee-length jumper dress, white socks, and black shoes.

In Seasons 2-3, Suzy wears the same outfit, but her head is less round than before.

Personality[]

In addition to her intelligence, Suzy is shown to be polite and usually more sycophantic than Johnny. She is high-spirited and rarely angry or sad, especially in the first and last seasons of the series.

Suzy's main interests are learning, reading, tea parties and dolls. She is also a huge fan of Gabbity Abby, owning every doll and other merchandise made for the franchise, including a set of 24 CD-ROM disks.[2] However, like most children, Suzy's interest in certain things (ex. the doll from "Noir Johnny") can fade quickly because of her moving onto something else.

According to one of Suzy's fourth grade teachers, Miss Winkleman, her grade point average in social skills is "the highest in recorded time."[3]

Relationships[]

Johnny Bravo[]

Johnny & Suzy Waiting (Aunt Katie's Farm)

Johnny and Suzy in line to watch Aunt Katie's Farm.

Suzy finds a lot of fun in bothering Johnny, often trying to get him to play with her whenever she feels bored or randomly visits Mama's house. Because Johnny is one of the few adults Suzy knows who cannot hold a job (thus having a lot of free time), she uses him as an adult chaperone, convincing him to take her to places such as a live recording of the show Aunt Katie's Farm, a toy store, or a magic show.

In the first and fourth seasons, Suzy is shown to have a puppy-dog crush on Johnny, which makes matters worse for him, as she seems unaffected by the constant rejection. This crush is most evident when Suzy wants Johnny to be her chaperone to the second grade dance, which Johnny declines.[4] When he takes note of a geeky boy with a crush on her, Johnny decides to coach the boy on how to impress girls so Suzy can take him instead.

Suzy also likes to give Johnny helpful advice and easy ways to solve his problems, but he either refuses to take her seriously or does something completely different from what she intended, taking the matter into his own hands.

Despite finding her annoying, Johnny does feel guilty when he makes Suzy cry in "Cookie Crisis", in which he finally gives in and buys cookies from her.

After the show's retooling, Suzy's crush on Johnny seemed to be written out or handled in a less overt manner (as she is still shown some hints of her crush on Johnny in newer episodes, only she is more mature, and is more better at hiding it than she used to do). Instead, Suzy considers him to be a close friend and often uses Johnny's interest in women to persuade him to do something, such as taking her to the art museum or walking in a marathon. Suzy is sometimes embarrassed or frustrated by things Johnny does, especially when he goes too far, yet still values him as a friend and wants to help him when she can. She is also often straightforward about Johnny's flaws. One example of this is when an irritated Johnny asks Suzy if she thinks he's stupid, to which she sighs and replies "Stupid is such a strong word."[5]

Although Johnny finds Suzy annoying, similarly to how he views Carl, he feels guilty when he upsets her.[6] After telling Suzy the Tooth Fairy was not real, Johnny sheds a tear upon seeing her miserable and tries to cheer her up by dressing as the tooth fairy (whom he claimed wasn't real) and granting her wishes.[7] Suzy takes advantage of this, seeing right through his disguise, making him take her to an ice cream parlor and a petting zoo. After the animals break free, Johnny gets arrested, and Suzy tries to stop the officer, revealing she knew it was him all along. Johnny is shocked, then assumes he is "pretty lousy at cheering people up." Suzy disagrees, saying it made her happy knowing he cared enough to try.

In a reality where Johnny had never been born, Suzy threatened to destroy the city of Cleveland if her demands weren't met.[6] This likely implies that Johnny keeps her at bay from boredom and using her intelligence in extreme ways to get attention from adults.

Bunny Bravo[]

Johnny, Suzy, and Bunny

Suzy and Bunny Bravo interact often outside of Johnny-related matters as the result of Bunny being in charge of certain groups and teams Suzy is a part of, such as an all-girls softball team called Mama's Maulers and occasionally her Buttercup Scouts troop. Bunny once visited Suzy in the hospital after a tonsillectomy, bringing in Johnny dressed as a clown to cheer her up.[8]

Carl Chryniszzswics[]

Another friend of Suzy's is Carl Chryniszzswics. When Suzy was planning on filming a documentary on the Hansel and Gretel witch, Carl was the camera man. In "The Color Of Mustard", the two are also seen about to play a game of badminton before Johnny joins in and defeats them, much to their dismay.

Others[]

Suzy's parents are never shown, only heard, but she is often shown to be related to big-time celebrities. For example, it was revealed that Farrah Fawcett is her cousin. Later on, she does not appear to be related to more celebrities, although she is friends with Mr. T.[9] While she is not related to (or friends with) any real-life celebrities in the retool, she is shown to be friends with a basketball player named Enormous Ferguson that Johnny is a big fan of.[10]

Suzy has had a few crushes, such as one on celebrity Leonardo DiCaprio[3] and a temporary one on her classmate Smelly Raymond, who had been attacking her and her friends with water balloons.[11] Raymond has a huge crush on her, but she is otherwise disinterested.[12]

In a future timeline, Suzy is the head of a real estate conglomerate and owns a photograph labelled 'On Her Trike' of presumably her daughter or her younger self, wearing her childhood outfit and sitting on an oversized tricycle.[13]

Trivia[]

SuzyCard

A "collectible card" featuring basic info about Suzy from an issue of the "Cartoon Network Starring'" comics.

  • Suzy has four different character designs due to the show being retooled twice. The first was used only for Season 1, the second and third for Seasons 2 and 3, and the fourth for the specials and Season 4.
    • The first was drawn by Julian Chaney, the second by Gary Hartle, and the third by Dexter Smith. The designer of the fourth is unknown.
  • On certain merchandise, such as a prism vending sticker and the Cartoon Network Block Party video game, her name is misspelled as "Susie".
  • She also has a crush on an 8-year-old country music singer named Lonnie Dash.
  • In the comic story "Under My Wheels", Suzy gets jealous of a woman whom Johnny shows interest in, which does not usually occur in the series.
  • According to the creators, Suzy's birthday is on March 21st (making her an Aries). She's one of only two characters to have their birthday confirmed -- the other being Heather Asplund, who's birthday is on April 13th.
    • Bunny's birthday is never revealed.
    • Johnny claims to be a Libra in "Ape is Enough" (which would mean that his birthday is anywhere on/from September 23rd to October 22nd) but "It's Valentine's Day, Johnny Bravo" claims that Johnny's birthday is on February 14th (which is Valentine's Day).
    • "Freudian Dip" states that Carl is three weeks older than Johnny -- taking the above point into consideration, this would mean that Carl's birthday is either on January 24th or is anywhere on/from September 2nd to October 1st.
  • Suzy is really interested in the Buttercup Scouts and has proven to be very successful in said interest.
    • In a few comic stories, Suzy is a part of a scout troop called the Camper Critters. She is also a big fan of the TV series Red Xonia: Warrior She-Devil (a parody of Xena: Warrior Princess) in a story of the same name.
  • In the original Season 2 series bible (written by Van Partible and Seth MacFarlane, before the show was eventually retooled), Suzy's full name was planned to be "Suzy Little" and she was supposed to be 6.5-years-old. 
    • In some episodes and character descriptions, however, she's stated to be 8-years-old.
    • "Welcome Back, Bravo" claims that Suzy's in 4th-grade (the second-to-last year of elementary school). Most 4th-graders in the United States are around 9 or 10-years-old -- although given how intelligent Suzy is (at least for a kid her age), she could've skipped a grade or two (making her a bit younger than some of her classmates).
  • Since Carl and Johnny are both confirmed to be in their early-20s and Suzy's confirmed to be around 6 to 8-years-old, Carl and Johnny must be around 15-years-older than Suzy. Also, since the series is all-but-explicitly stated to take place in the late-1990s/early-2000s, Suzy must've been born sometime in the early- to mid-1990s (this also means that Johnny and Carl were most likely born sometime in the mid/late-1970s or the early 1980s).
