Gary Harrison is a male fourth grade student who attended South Park Elementary. He only appeared in "All About Mormons".
Please visit his article on the South Park Archives for more information.
Appearance
Gary has wavy blond hair parted on the right side and swept in a smooth style. He wears an open turquoise jacket, a white collarless shirt, light blue jeans, and black shoes. He also wears a gray belt with a metal, D-style belt buckle.
Personality
Gary's personality appears to be shaped largely by his family and religion, Mormonism. He is friendly, outgoing, and optimistic. When he is teased and bullied by other students at school, he does not appear to be bothered by it. For example, in "All About Mormons", Eric Cartman introduces himself to Gary as "Ura Fag." Rather than acting upset or embarrassed, Gary laughs. Later, when Stan Marsh threatens to “kick [his] ass,” Gary promises not to fight back and even hopes that they can be friends someday.
Although he is friendly and forgiving, Gary is not a pushover. When Stan refuses to be Gary's friend because of his religion, Gary responds with a very thoughtful speech about how proud he is to be Mormon and what it has done for him. The speech ends with: "All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan. But you were so high and mighty that you couldn't just look past my religion and be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls."
Fanon and Fandom
Despite only appearing in one episode, Gary has remained one of the most popular onetime characters in the series' history, owing to his kind nature. Stary is a particularly popular ship featuring him due to their unique dynamic in the episode he debuted in.
