"I hate... whatever it is I hate!"
Oscar "Grouchy" Smurf is a Smurf character that appears in the HERO: The Guardian Smurf story series.
Background Information
Grouchy, as his name suggests, is a Smurf that is full of grouch and says, "I hate..." to whatever the other Smurfs say. You would think Grouchy hates everything, but he has a heart of gold that he sometimes does not to show to the others. The thing he hates most is helping the other Smurfs with their chores; he prefers to just sit in a corner and sulk about how much he hates everything.
The other Smurfs consider him a sourpuss since he says nothing but "I hate" . This soon became his catchphrase throughout the entire story series.
5 years after Hero and Wonder got married, Wonder was kidnapped by the Naughties Vexy and was now in Gargamel's clutches. Papa Smurf had originally chosen Hefty, along with Brainy and Fergus to be part of his specially selected team for the rescue mission, but due to an accident, He, along with Clumsy and Vanity went in their place.
After Hero and Wonder had their first child, he met his Mirror Of Opposition-created counterpart, Sulky, with whom he had a rocky relationship with at the start when he first met her, but eventually warmed over since she can empathize with what it's like to be him. He also enjoys the small intimate moments he had with her before they got married. When they eventually did get married, on day known as the "Day of 100 Weddings", he couldn't help but not have enough of her.
Of the course of the following years, he eventually became a Papa Smurf when his wife gave birth to their son and daughter. He continued to watch them grow up and develop up until his eventual death during the year which was known as "The Year of Death".
Personality
Because Grouchy is the type of Smurf who is very uncomfortable sharing his feelings with anyone, he only shares his feelings around the Smurfs that he really trusts, such as Hero, Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Wonder, Abloec, and Sulky.
Role in the Village
Grouchy is usually seen working, and all he does is say how much he hates whatever is going on.
