Timmy and Tommy Tibble

Without stopping to take a breath, Timmy Tibble can yell for five minutes. And Tommy Tibble, sometimes it seems like he's four kids! Timmy Tibble and Tommy Tibble, also known as the Tibble Twins, are boisterous twin preschoolers in D.W.'s class at Elwood City Preschool.

Physical appearance
Tommy and Timmy are bears in the show and humans in the book. They always dress identically. They normally wear yellow t-shirts, purple shorts, yellow socks, and black and white sneakers. As they are identical twins, Timmy always wears a blue handkerchief while Tommy wears a red one to differentiate. Originally in the books, they looked more like humans and less like bears, but that changed in the cartoon series. Notably, however, in even later book releases, the two continued to appear as humans, despite the significant art shift in the books towards an appearance more in line with that of the television series.

Personality
Tommy and Timmy are mischievous, clever, reckless and often really mean and annoying (Timmy more than Tommy, but sometimes Tommy more than Timmy), though deep down they are good kids. Timmy is more independent and meaner than his brother, as seen in "Double Tibble Trouble" and "Attack of the Turbo Tibbles." In "Double Tibble Trouble" it is revealed that when Tommy is not with Timmy he becomes sad and behaves well, but at the end of the episode when Tommy gets sick, Timmy doesn't seem sad and behaves like always. In "Attack of the Turbo Tibbles," Timmy is the one who hurts D.W. They each have their own ways of annoying others, usually by yelling louder than one another. Tommy also seems to have more of a sensitive side than Timmy.

Family
Tommy and Timmy live with their grandmother in a large house that looks almost haunted.
 * Mrs. Tibble: She is Tommy and Timmy's grandmother. She loves the twins very much, but doesn't always show awareness of their bad behavior, though she does occasionally show signs of distress at their actions. In the episode "Mind Your Manners", the twins force themselves to learn manners in order to take their grandmother out to dinner. They usually spend all of their time at her house when they're not in preschool.
 * Trixy Tibble: The mother of the Tibble Twins. She is first mentioned in "D.W.'s Backpack Mishap", where we find out that she used to take the twins on trips around the world.
 * Timmy & Tommy's Father: Although mentioned several times, not much is known about their father.
