Steve Small

Mr. Steve Small is the hippie school counselor at Elmore Junior High. Although his job is to advise the students, he tends to act like the one that needs the most help.

Appearance
Mr. Small is a tall, fluffy creature. He wears a rainbow-patterned shirt, black bellbottoms, and blue and yellow sandals. White fluff covers almost all of his body. This fluff is more plentiful on his forearms, feet, and head. He also has a small ponytail to keep his hair tied back, which may or may not be long, as it was when he was younger. His eyes are round and coloured yellowish-green and red, almost like a green olive.

Back in Junior High, his hair was very long, going mid-back. He also used to have a pink shirt with a sideways Yin Yang symbol on it, which he wore with bluish-white jeans.

He usually speaks in a calm and quiet sort of Southern American accent, but sometimes when he's very angry, he sounds like a drill sergeant.

Personality
Mr. Small is the school counselor at Elmore Junior High. His job is to help the students with their psychological and family issues, but ironically he acts like the one that needs the most help.

He's interested in New Age culture and has an assortment of healing crystals and incense sticks which he believes helps the kids, although most of them leave his office more confused and no better off than they were before. He goes through phases of interest with these things as well, one week he might obsess over dreamcatchers and then move on to some other bizarre thing the next.

Often when his other teaching methods fail, he pulls out his "secret weapon", The Silence Snake. All this method does is shut the kids up, solving nothing and ending the counseling session. Mr. Small most likely does this on purpose to avoid dealing with problematic kids. He is also a bit loopy, and most of the kids get confused and scared by his techniques.
