— A, various episodes |
A is a character in Alphablocks, and is often treated as the "mascot" of the show. She is voiced by Lizzie Waterworth.
Physical Description
A is a green and lime green striped Alphablock with dark green freckles on both her cheeks, with her left cheek baring a bandage.
Apples fall on her head often; although this is usually harmless, it once caused her to forget her own name, in the episode "Name".
Personality
A is generally a kind Alphablock who tries to be helpful, but her clumsiness often gets the best of her. Her two types of clumsiness are that she falls from nowhere or have objects (usually apples) fall on her, and that her sneezes are strong enough to blow nearby things a short distance, even being able to propel herself backwards on several occasions, such as in Bee.
A has been shown to have a desire to help others, in episodes such as Farm, Snail, and also in Surprise, where she tries to be optimistic about getting out of the trap. In Farm, she was happy to help get more animals for N’s farm, despite making no words. Additionally, in Snail, she (along with I) wanted to help to find the snail after it sped away.
She also can get quite intimidated by the idea of being alone, such as in Making Friends, when One arrives by herself, she seemed quite anxious by the fact that One travelled a long way away from her home, all alone. Additionally, in Name, she states that the help from her friends will leave all her troubles behind, implying that she finds it troubling to be all by herself.
Her clumsiness has a huge impact on how she interacts with the other Alphablocks around her, as seen in Crash! and Prank. The former shows how insecure and pressured she could be when it comes to her clumsiness, while the latter shows that she's not a coward and will take offense if she gets made fun of too much or gets pressed too much. Despite that, though, A enjoys making friends and helping other Alphablocks.
Second to E, she's also a pretty busy letter in the alphabet, as she appears in a lot of words, she plays a big role in leading Alphaland, she has a good deal of musical talent, singing in both Alphaland's main rock band and an all-vowel choir, and usually helps in welcoming new guests, as seen with One in Making Friends. This is also why she's seen trying to sleep alongside E in Sleep, notably in sunset instead of night, as she may have also done a lot of work to want to sleep this early.
She's closest to B and C, in more ways than one, like how she's in a band with N, D, and of course, B, and how they're the first three letters of the alphabet. She also has more notable friends, which is made more apparent in Name. She's friends with Y, as their relationship is seen as fun, bright, and lighthearted. A could also be seen as a sort of "mother figure" to Y, especially with the final line in the Y section where she tells him to stay by her. She's also friends with I, as she said that she's happy with I like a puppy that's wagging its tail, which keep in mind, is one of the purest forms of affection, and she also said she's sticking with I, which conveys a sense of loyalty, which ties back to the puppy comparison. These two lines alone show the strength of the bond between A and I. She's also friends with E, as they see each other as relatable due to their positions in Alphaland, the shared experiences (Like not resting due to the other Alphablocks in Sleep), and the level-headedness they have. She's also very enthusiastic when she's with E, as seen with the delivery of the lines in Name and Sleep, how in Sleep, they both say "What a treat!" to each other and say they're a world class team, and how when they have nothing to worry about besides each other, they're able to relax and have fun, which is seen apparent when they said they "play a little game" in Name, and in the dream in Sleep where they're just running in an endless void together.
Crash!, Prank, and Name also show a sort of character arc for A, where in Crash!, she's being forced to be embarrassed of her clumsy nature, in Prank, she takes matter in her own hands, and in Name, A learns that despite her clumsiness, her friends are here to help her every step of the way (As seen with Magic E helping A make her bake a cake, land on a snake, and saying her name).
