Mordecai



Mordecai is a 23-Year Old Blue Jay that works as a groundskeeper at a park with his best friend/co-worker/roommate, Rigby. Like his corvine (crows and jays) kind, he is smarter than Rigby and has a seeming amount of common sense. Along with Benson, Mordecai first appeared in an animated short film: 2 in the AM PM by J.G. Quintel, in which a store's two clerks are transformed into Mordecai and Benson's characters after they eat acid candy.

Personality
He can be dedicated and hard-working when he is motivated right, such as in the episode "Just Set Up The Chairs" when Mordecai is determined to prove to Benson that they (he and Rigby) can set up the chairs without slacking off. He usually thinks things through more than Rigby does, and appears to be more mature than him as well, acting like an older brother to him more than a best friend. Although Mordecai is more level headed, he sometimes gives in to Rigby's shenanigans and sometimes comes up with his own (ex. purchasing the cologne.) Mordecai is notably stronger than Rigby, never losing one match of punchies to him, (save for one, in which he faked a loss) in fact he is so strong that he is able to break a broom and rip a shirt apart but he is slower compared to Rigby's speed. Mordecai is also very skilled at arcade games, winning a game called "Hats 4 Sale" ten times in a row, And in "Just Set Up The Chairs" he won the game of "Destroyer of Worlds" with Rigby. He also has a huge crush on Margaret. In the episode "Meat Your Maker " he nearly died of Hypothermia. He also hates when Rigby slacks off and gets him into trouble. Unlike Rigby, he doesn't get into that kind of trouble with Benson.

Rigby
Mordecai and Rigby are best friends and constantly get into trouble together. However, they have been known to fight once in a while, such as in "Pilot" when Mordecai and Rigby fight over who gets to keep a chair that was originally going to be thrown away by Pops. Having different personalities, Mordecai usually feels like proving to Benson that they could handle important jobs ("Just Set Up The Chairs", "Caffeinated Concert Tickets") while Rigby simply does not care. Even though Mordecai is much more responsible than Rigby is, he still gets in trouble and causes problems, but not as often as Rigby. They both enjoy snacking on food like chocolate cake, and they both refer each other as "dude" and he is a better liar then Rigby as proved in the episode "Grilled Cheese Deluxe" when he lied to Benson that when his sandwich got burned he told him that they ran it over which he believed he also knows that Rigby always loses every time they play punchies. He also helps and get annoyed with Rigby whenever he does something wrong but Mordecai finally snaps at Rigby's stupidity in "Meat Your Maker". In "Ello Gov'nor" he knows that Rigby will get scared and will have nightmares because once Rigby watched a horror movie, Mordecai had to walk him to the bathroom for a week.

In "It's Time", Mordecai kills Rigby (but not intentionally). Things return to their regular state soon, though.

In "Don" a flashback of Rigby's birthday is shown, with Mordecai there, too. This reveals they had both known each when they were little kids.

Margaret
At the beginning of the episode, "Caffeinated Concert Tickets", it was revealed that Mordecai has a crush on Margaret. Margaret seems to be close to Mordecai, though she does not see him in a particularly romantic way. She cares for him, as seen at the end of "Caffeinated Concert Tickets" when Slasher (her ex-boyfriend) insulted Mordecai. Slasher does not appear in anymore episodes possibly due to Margaret breaking up with him due to Slasher insulting Mordecai.

This, however, changed because at the end "Mordecai and the Rigbys", she had another boyfriend, one of them named "Angel". It is unknown if her and Angel are still in a relationship. In "Mordecai and the Rigbys", although he dropped the box of t-shirts and stared at Margaret when she was putting the T-shirt on, he told Margaret that she "looked amazing" when she put on the t-shirt.

In "It's Time" he wanted to take Margaret to see "Pajama Sisters 2" (a chick flick) then he immediately said he would help Margaret move out of her house and help her carry a box (which was really heavy). Also in "Meat Your Maker" while he was unconscious he dreamed of her and him on an island beach, where Margaret wears a hula skirt and a somewhat tiny seashell bra while Mordecai is muscular and dashing enough to win her heart.

Benson
Mordecai and Benson seem to both hate each other, because Mordecai and Rigby always slack off. Though, there are times when Mordecai agrees with Benson or side with him and the other characters when it comes to Rigby's shenanigans getting out of hand (ex. "Don" and "Meat Your Maker".) Mordecai would even be somewhat of a younger and semi-responsible version if not surrogate of Benson.

But either way, Benson is still not tolerant of both Rigby or Mordecai, though the latter doesn't get into that kind of trouble like the former.
