Note: There are SPOILERS ahead!

“It’s my job to fix what Ralph has wrecked.”

Felix is the epitome of what gamers would call Lawful Good. He believes in the idea that most people are inherently good, though he’s borne witness to the fact that there are some who are easily driven mad with anger, hate, or jealousy. He’s known for being patient and kind to everyone he meets, and he’s always been willing to lend a helping hand, or, as it stands, golden hammer. To the tenants of the Niceland Apartment building, within the arcade game that bears his name, he’s their hero, and yet, ever humble. No matter how many pies or medals he receives, he has never once let it get to his head.

This simple reputation might lead one to believe that Felix is simple, just these things: wholesome, honest, law-abiding, and everything that his in-game opposition, Wreck It Ralph, is presumably not. But it goes far beyond that. Outside of the general wholesome goodness that Felix represents, he is also brave, heroic, and principled. He can be comical and free in his affections, but ever innocent. The very concept of doing something unkind of deceitful to anyone, even someone who might have wronged him, would not even occur to him.

“You…uh, wouldn’t happen to want to come in and have a slice, would you?”

While the Nicelanders shun Ralph and treat him like the garbage and mud he’s forced to live in, Felix, even if awkwardly, makes an attempt to treat him kindly. He bears no prejudice or ill will towards anyone, and sees it as his duty to correct any messes that Ralph makes.

He willingly leaves his own game and ventures first into the dangerous game world of Hero’s Duty, and then into the sugary sweet world of Sugar Rush to find Ralph, and proves himself to be a capable hero, and quite resourceful when thrust into situations he’s wholly unfamiliar with. Of course, he panicked before getting a hold of himself, so even a hero has his moments of weakness. He’s willing to risk injury to save himself and Sergeant Calhoun when mired in quicksand, and doesn’t even think twice in doing what must be done.

“Jiminy jaminity, look at that high definition! Your face….it’s amazing….”

He’s also a man who wears his heart on his sleeve, as he makes no attempt to hide his growing affection for Sergeant Calhoun, and even compliments her after a rather harrowing escape from quicksand. This does not end well, though, as Calhoun herself has her own tragic backstory to contend with first.

“Then, I met the most dynamite gal – she gives me the honeyglows something awful! But! She rebuffed my affections!”

He doesn’t have to suffer such heartache long – as it stands, he ends up happily married to Calhoun by the close of the film – it’s true that he really can fix anything, and in this case, a broken heart.

“No, I will not, Ralph! You don’t know what it’s like to be rejected and treated like a criminal!”

He has to suffer first heartache and then the frustration and anger of being wrongly imprisoned, and when he is finally reunited with Ralph, we get to see that anger and frustration manifest. He actually refuses to help Ralph at first, purely out of anger. He vents his anger freely after what he’s had to go through, and comes to realize that how he feels, rejected, treated like a criminal, is just how Ralph feels all the time. And he realizes that he and his old foe are not so dissimilar.

“No, I don’t have to do boo – excuse my potty mouth.”

He’s wholesome and a bit quirky in his use of colloquial language – his idea of swearing badly is the word “boo”, for which he apologizes. He’s old-fashioned in a charming way, and a gentleman who always removes his hat in polite company. He’s got a strong sense of responsibility and courage, and a desire to do good anywhere he goes.
