I truly think Scott is underappreciated and seems to be the kindest, most compassionate soul, so I did a little mini analysis of personality and wanted to know what you guys think! Please be kind and respectful in what you have to say as well.
“Scott has some people-pleasing tendencies, wishing to make others happy and to be liked and well-received by everyone he meets. He is usually creative, optimistic, and supportive, although he can sometimes be too willing to go along with others to keep the peace. He cares deeply for other people, often putting their feelings and interests before his own, in some cases at a personal cost. He tends to be very kindly and sympathetic, but can be somewhat naïve in regards to understanding the ulterior motives of others, quickly growing attached to those who are demonstrative and affectionate towards him. Scott’s friendliness and eagerness to interact with others sometimes causes him to be dismissed when he is trying to introduce himself. He can be quite gullible, as he takes the slightest bit of positive reinforcement as a "free ticket" to invite people to come over to his house. He enjoys giving attention to others and may learn everything about his friends' interests in order to have something to share in common.
He can struggle at times to state his desires and needs and may follow other people's whims instead of asserting himself. Although he is friendly with several different people, Scott isn't particularly close to anyone beyond Eric Cartman and his good friend Butters Stotch from art class. He tries to balance his need for individuality with a strong desire to gain intimacy and solidarity with others, which makes setting boundaries challenging for him. He is not content to be just someone's friend, as he wants to be the "best" friend, as well as the confidante and number-one kindred spirit. Generous and friendly, he wants to feel as though he is part of a group and tends to be insecure about his worth, feeling a desire to please others in order to be acknowledged and fit in somewhere.
Despite this, Scott doesn't seek to be the most popular kid at school, as he simply wants friends and people to spend his afternoons and weekends with. He is sensitive and selfless, as he was prepared to give up her spot for one of his friends if there wasn't any room on the class trip and is very attentive to the needs of others. His big heart doesn't exclude even the more reserved, yet he has shown himself to be apologetic and overly concerned with how others perceive him. He also has a habit of attracting broken and damaged people who can sometimes appear overly demanding and take advantage of his kindness, which can leave him feeling emotionally drained in his desire to offer comfort and guidance to others. Scott is nevertheless genuine and sincere in his daily encounters and often goes out of her way to care for and assist the people around him. He will often do anything to keep his friends happy, even at the expense of his own well-being, and enjoys making people laugh with his goofy sense of humor.
He is a gentle soul who likes to perform random favors and acts of kindness, whether it includes being a lunchtime helper, and is generally humble and honest. He attracts people with his imagination and is normally seen as the type of person who will show up with a hot meal when a friend is sick, as well as the first to offer help in a dire situation.
Scott is very kindhearted and innocent and very rarely acts openly mean to anyone, even those who find him an annoyance and act cruelly to him. He is a broadminded, openhearted boy who can be surprisingly profound, having an enormous amount of modesty despite his lack of social skills and a pure heart. He claims that he would volunteer to be a fortune cookie writer, as he can use his creativity and humorous side to come up with amusing philosophical quips to make those around him smile.
He has a gift for seeing possibilities and creative solutions to interpersonal issues people are dealing with, which inspires him to root for the underdogs. Scott can see how different events may unfold and how many good things could happen, making him skilled at cheering up even the most downcast friend. He brings his unique talents to the halftime show when he cheers his classmates on after being unable to play in the school's kickball tournament due to a sore toe. He is unable to resist the urge to try and befriend cats, despite being allergic to them, and always feels disappointed when they turn out to be wild, feline creatures who do not warm up to others as much as they should. He is also extremely giving and likes to thoughtfully craft handmade gifts for the people he cares about, having once customized a tennis racket cover to offer his father on his birthday. Regardless of his cheerful and silly demeanor, Scott opts to show a darker and gloomier side to him when pushed far enough and can occasionally get his feelings hurt.
His artistic skill was suddenly tested when he believed his mother Ellen hated the gifts he made him and destroys them out of sadness, only for her to reveal she liked them after all because they came from the heart. He usually has the best intentions and will always try to choose the right options to ensure the happiness of himself and others. He remembers intimate details about every person's life and uses his knowledgeability to pick out just the right gift for his friends and loved ones. What you see is what you get with Scott, who doesn't scheme and is often seen as an open book. He has a difficult time bottling up his emotions or hiding his true intentions, no matter how hard he tries.
He sometimes cries when he is happy, particularly when he finds himself overwhelmed with intense emotion. He will easily self-disclose with others and is prone to revealing too much about himself when first opening up during interactions, which can put her in vulnerable positions. Despite his overt enthusiasm and bubbly personality, Scott tends to find himself under-appreciated and disregarded, most notably when he intentionally disappeared to see if he absence would spark concern. He can be quite observant, picking up on things others miss and retaining information gathered casually through conversation. His transparent nature can make even lying a difficult task for him, as he often babbles nervously and becomes fidgety upon telling the smallest fib. He can similarly detect insincerity in another person's words or actions, having the ability to read between the lines and quickly pick up if someone "means one thing, but says another".
When someone is having feelings in his vicinity, Scott is often experiencing those feelings right along with them, even if he doesn't know the person or why they are upset. He is quick to jump to positive assumptions without having all of the facts and as a result appears inexperienced in dealing with certain situations. His natural tendency to give others the benefit of the doubt can often leave him feeling hurt in his habit of trusting too easily. He sometimes struggles with being seen by his classmates as "too nice", which can cause him to appear passive and be somewhat of a pushover with his less assertive demeanor.”
Let me know what you guys think :) Does it truly sound like Scott Malkinson at all?
