Toby Smith/Tubbo (Freole Academy)

Tobias James 'Toby' Smith, also known as Tubbo, is one of the main characters of Freole Academy and is one of the members of the Aelfsiden House. He is a 1st Year.

Appearance
Toby is a 16-year-old British boy with blue eyes, brown hair and light skin with rosy cheeks. When his powers activate, his pupils turn green. His casual wear consists of a red and black flannel over a black shirt, blue jeans and black and white high-cut shoes. His uniform in the Human World consists of a grey blazer over a white dress shirt with a red necktie, grey trousers and black shoes. His uniform in Freole Academy consists of a navy blazer over a white dress shirt with a red necktie, navy trousers and black shoes. While the Ice curse was spreading throughout the school, he wears a dark red hoodie over his uniform. He stands on 5'5.

Personality
Tubbo is hyperactive, earnest and naive. He often follows Tommy and his friends around. He is fairly easygoing and optimistic if a tad phlegmatic, and tends to be more of a follower than a leader. He likes to do as he’s told and is easy to push around. He’ll go with the flow of most things as long as they don’t directly interfere with his morals, which he sticks very close to. Tubbo is somewhat scatterbrained but an all around loyal and good person. He knows what he can and can't do and prefers to just stay within his own boundaries. He also is very lawful, knowing where his loyalties lie, and is a poor fibber when it comes to facing authorities like even when he knows it’s the morally right thing to do. Despite his normally naive personality, he is really smart and naturally knows how to make potions, sing and play instruments.

Pre-series life
Tubbo was born on the 23rd of December 1985 in Bognor Regis, West Sussex, United Kingdom, Spirit World to a then 18-year-old Kenny Smith. He doesn't know who his mother is. As Kenny had just finished secondary school by the time Toby was born, he had to find a stable job to financially support Tubbo while he was raised by his half-uncle, Curt in Bath, Somerset. When Curt and his first wife had a divorce causing him to leave Tears For Fears, he took Tubbo along with his daughters to New York. In 1996 at 10-years-old, Tubbo moved back with his father, Kenny, in Brighton when he found a stable job. There, he made friends with Tommy, Eryn, Ranboo, Freddie and Aimee. When he turned 16, he was enrolled at Freole Academy and also learned that his dad, Kenny, also attended the academy.

Etymology
Tobias is the transliteration of the Greek Τωβίας which is a translation of the Hebrew biblical name טוֹבִיה, Toviyah, 'Yah is good'.

In fact, the name James means the same exact thing as Jacob—“supplanter” or substitute—and comes from the original Hebrew word for Jacob. Because of its connection to Jacob, James is a Biblical name (two of Jesus' apostles were named James).

The name refers to a smith, originally deriving from smið or smiþ, the Old English term meaning one who works in metal related to the word smitan, the Old English form of smite, which also meant strike (as in early 17th century Biblical English: the verb "to smite" = to hit).
