So yellow giant, daughter say you give her flower. This mean you propose marriage!

—Rootsy's father

Rootsy is a native woman residing in an isolated forest tribe who Johnny encountered in "Forest Chump", where she fell in love with Johnny after he gave her a rose. She is the daughter of her tribe's leader.

Biography[]

Forest Chump[]

Johnny first met Rootsy while in the great outdoors with Carl, a trip which Johnny was detesting every minute of. However, after Johnny got lost and found himself floating down the river, he inevitably found himself in the presence of Rootsy and became instantly smitten, even offering the wild forest girl a flower, but then suddenly she clubbed him over the head and carried him off to her village to meet with her father the chief who revealed to Johnny that offering a flower in their society is treated as a marriage proposal and so he gave Johnny his blessing after his daughter showed a strong interest in him. Johnny then imagined married life with Rootsy as an idealistic sitcom, and so happily agreed to get hitched to Rootsy.

Hi honey! I missed you. How was your day at the plant?

—Rootsy in Johnny's married fantasy

Its... growing on me.

—Johnny in his married fantasy

When the wedding began to take place, all seemed well and Rootsy was completely enthralled with her soon to be husband. Unfortunately, Johnny was "rescued" by an ignorant Carl who swung in and ruined the wedding, an act which was seen as sacrilege by the forest folk, forcing the chief to sacrifice Carl and Johnny to their giant carnivorous plant. Johnny and Carl though were able to escape, much to Johny's displeasure, while elsewhere a heartbroken Rootsy watched on as her fiancée floated down the river.

Personality[]

Hot babe. With a tree-house. What's not to like?

—Johnny to Carl

Rootsy is a friendly and very caring woman with a love for nature and animals. Because of her upbringing in an isolated society, she is a bit primitive and does not speak outsider languages, causing a language barrier between her and Johnny which prevented her from being turned off by Johnny's usual verbal idiocy, instead judging him by his friendly and amorous actions. She is also rather simplistic about courting rituals, even performing the reverse of caveman courtship, however she genuinely fell for Johnny, a case of love at first sight and readily accepted his flower proposal, and when Johnny was almost sacrificed and flung out of her village, she cried genuine tears of grief over her lost fiancée.

She also owns a ravenous pet deer who she is very close to, but the little guy cares nothing for Johnny and is viciously violent around him.

Trivia[]

  • When Johnny imagined what married life with Rootsy would be like, he imagined it as a pastiche of Lucille Ball's 1950s sitcom I Love Lucy.
