Mugman (Adult - TCS)

Mugman is a small, anthropomorphic mug wearing blue pants, with large, round eyes and a big blue nose. He has a straight, blue and white striped straw on his head, wears brown shoes, and a pair of yellow gloves. Mugman is fun-loving like Cuphead, though he is shown to be careful and less rash compared to his brother, and acts as the voice of reason for him. While he cares for Cuphead, the two of them bicker half the time. Although being a timid person who shies away from danger, he has displayed incredible feats of courage. Unlike Cuphead, who loves to be the center of attention, Mugman gets bad stage fright and freezes up in front of an audience. He seemingly tends to be very insecure, as he wants to be reminded that he is needed. He is always the one to apologize first and stands up for others rather than himself. This gives him a lot of pressure he can't handle at times, for he can get mad at minor things such as the ice cream truck's music. However, Mugman does understand when he's in the wrong and quickly regrets his actions. he can also come to doubt on his own opinion. Mugman has shown to be talented in the culinary arts, being able to bake pies and cakes. He also shows other talents such as knitting, embroidery, and being able to build a log cabin with a stove, despite the limited resources he has. Mugman is prone to being a nervous wreck under high stress situations. He also tends to freeze up when he's the center of attention, or has to do public speaking in front of a large crowd. Mugman tends to worry a lot, which fuels his anxiety, and may have a sense of insecurity due to being overshadowed by his older twin brother. Just like how Cuphead depends on him, Mugman seems to depend on Cuphead for safety, as the two are almost never apart from each other.

Like anyone growing up, Mugman now needs to find a job to start building his life. He still lives in Elder Kettle's cottage with Cuphead because he's just starting out. In college, he was quite intelligent and attentive, unlike Cuphead, who failed his senior year and now has to repeat it. That's why Cuphead isn't looking for a job. Elder Kettle didn't like Cuphead repeating the year, so while Mugman looks for work, Cuphead is forced to do many of the house chores as "punishment" for slacking off in class (Cuphead spent his time making jokes, sleeping out of boredom, or doing anything but paying attention in class).
