“	I am square!	”
	— Four, his debut

Four, or 4, is a Numberblock that is made up of four blocks. He first appeared in the episode of the same name, and is voiced by Marcel McCalla.

Appearance[]

Four has four lime green blocks. He has dark green square eyes, 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 anything circular (referred to as ‘round things’), and avoids 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, such as 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 final meals to remember each other by when they all set off to explore space in 100 Ways to Leave the Planet.

A recurring trait about him is indecision; he isn't the best at deciding between two choices, as he always struggles with them, making him often split into the Terrible Twos. However, there are times where he splits into normal Twos, as seen on one occasion.
