Mouse Fitzgerald, nicknamed Fitz, and also known as Butch, is the main protagonist of 12 oz. Mouse. He is a green mouse who displays sociopathic, alcoholic, amnesiac and anthropomorphic behavior very often. He usually relies on comedic responses or a roundabout figure of speech instead of straight answers. Most of the first season involves him and his best (and only) friend Skillet causing havoc in the town, while in the second season focuses on the dual's struggle against Shark and the Rectangular Businessman, the former of which originally being his work boss. He drives a yellow jet with "TAXI" written on both sides. He was employed by Shark, but he is very cautious around the latter.
Design
Mouse Fitzgerald is a bright green, crudely drawn mouse with a circular body, an oval-shaped head with whiskers, two light green ears, an eye with a pupil, a mouth filled with teeth and several stick-like appendages such as arms with three-fingered hands, legs and a tail.
Relationships
Alliances & Friendships
Fitz's best friend is Skillet, who is a screeching chinchilla. It is unknown how their friendship came to be, but the latter is always accompanying Mouse on his adventures and various crimes. Along with this, Mouse is very close friends to Roostre, a corndog farmer, and a liquor shop owner simply named Liquor. They are both the only people to have first figured out the mysteries and secrets of their so-called world and informed Fitz after forming a companionship with him. Mouse has also formed friendships with Golden Joe, Peanut Cop, and the Eyeball, albeit not that close.
Enemies
Mouse has a somewhat strong hatred towards both Shark and the Rectangular Businessman. After Mouse learns about the origins of Q109, he sets out to escape from his crazed world, much to the disliking of Shark and his square sidekick. Mouse most likely hates both characters equally, as he has never specifically expressed more hatred for one being more than the other. Though, Mouse still despises Shark and seeks out to ruin his ultimate plan. With his severe distaste for Shark and the Rectangular Businessman, he loathes associates and other companions of Shark, who often try to further hinder Mouse in his attempt to escape.
Episode appearances
Being a major protagonist, Mouse Fitzgerald appears in every episode of the series. Though, the only exclusion to this would be "Auraphull", where he does not provide significant dialogue or notable actions.
