Appearance

younger Tommy and Timmy

Tommy and Timmy are bears. 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 handkerchief to differentiate. Originally in Arthur books, Tommy and Timmy were shown as humans instead of bears.

Personality

Tommy and Timmy are mischievous, smart, reckless and often really mean and annoying (Timmy more than Tommy) but deep down they are good kids. Timmy is more independent and meaner than his brother as seen in "Double Tibble Trouble", when Tommy is not with Timmy he gets sad and behaves, but at the end of the episode when Tommy gets sick Timmy doesn't seem sad and behaves like always.

Family

Tommy and Timmy live with their grandmother in a large house that looks almost haunted.

• Mrs. Tibble: Tommy and Timmy's grandmother. She loves the twins very much, but does not always show awareness to the twins' erratic behavior, even though she does show the occasional distress. In the episode "Mind Your Manners" the twins forced themselves to learn manners to take Mrs. Tibble out to dinner. The Tibbles spend all of their time at her house when they're not in preschool.

• Tommy and Timmy's parents: It was never said what happened to them. Many fans thought that they died but in "DW's Backpack Mishap" when D.W. took Tommy's backpack by mistake, she found items that their mom had given them in trips she took. That might explain that their parents might be travellers. The Tibble's mom's name is Trixie (she's refered to in "D.W.'s Blankie") but there's no mention of their father. This hints that the Tibble's father may be dead or that their parents are divorced. Or that the mother never got married.

Friends

• D.W. Read: The Tibbles are D.W's friends but often try to compete with her and pester her. They also trick D.W. into doing foolish things because she tends to be gullible.

• Emily: Emily is D.W's best friend. They often try to compete with her.
