Twister Rodriguez

From Nickelodeon

Twister is one of the lead characters on Rocket Power. His real given name is Maurice, but don't make the mistake of addressing him by it. He has the good fortune to be the best friend of Otto Rocket, and the disadvantage of having Lars for a big brother.

[edit] Appearance, dress, and equipment

Twister is of rather light complexion for a Latino, with a freckled face and orangeish hair. One theory advanced by a fan about why this could be so suggests that one or both of his parents could be partly descended from Irish people who had settled in Latin America during the nineteenth century (see Wikipedia:Irish Mexican). His predominant outfit consists of white Reebok basketball shoes with red stripes, green cargo shorts, a gray tee shirt overlaid by a blue tank top, and a striped brown Kangol flat cap, worn backwards. These items are all a little too big for him, giving him a baggy, almost cone-like profile. Twister once wore a different hat in the episode Twister's Hat.

Twister is also hardly ever without his VHS camcorder; he is always on a quest to document "the dopest footage" of all time.

[edit] Activities

Twister, like his friend Otto, is a very good surfer, skateboarder, and rollerblader. From a competition standpoint he is often in Otto's shadow, but one of the few activities he is better at than Otto is in street-luge.

[edit] Quirks

Twister is somewhat gullible and superstitious. Like Sammy, he seems to have a cast iron digestive tract and will devour anything marginally edible; e.g., fish tacos with Limburger cheese. Burritos such as would be found at an AM/PM in our world are a favorite of his, as are "Freezie-freezes" (freezer pops).
