Appearance[]
Four has 4 lime green blocks. His has dark green square eyes (because he is 2 x 2), lips and limbs. His eyebrows are shaped as two squares. He has four curved top teeth.
Personality[]
Four is most strongly defined by his very shape. He loves squares and loves being a square. He likes being in the company of other squares, as he's always seen in Square Club whenever it's in an episode. In contrast, he has a fear of round things, avoiding touching them as much as possible. This makes it hard for him to enjoy ball games such as football. Like other squares, he's very strong. He doesn't shy away from showing this, taking many opportunities to help lift heavy things. In some media, he can be seen flexing his arms. In terms of his personality, Four is very friendly, caring, gentle, supportive and enthusiastic. He always likes to help his friends when in need, like when he helped carry One, Two and Three's heavy bags in Feeding Time. He even went as far as to pack all of his fellow Numberblocks one final meal to remember each other by when they all set off to explore space in 100 Ways to Leave the Planet.
He owns a pet square named Squarey.
When he struggles to decide between two choices, he splits into the Terrible Twos.

- He is the largest Numberblock to make all of his possible 2D arrangements.
- Four is seemingly only afraid of non-sentient things that are circular in general. This was implied by Four not being afraid of the Flatlander "Circle", One's round eye despite being in square club, and when Four played the drums with circular tops in Five, which are also a bit cylinder-ry.
