Jamie Russo is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. She is Tina's sidekick for when she bullies Elmore Junior High students.

Appearance

Jamie seems to be a hybrid of many different species of animals. She has the traits of an ox, which would be her horns, large teeth and hooves, a lion, which would be her tail and orange coloring, a frog, which would be her skin coloring, and various other animal species as well.

Jamie has bright orange hair with small, curved horns sticking out of the sides. Her hair covers most of her head, and partially covers her eyes. Her skin is a greenish-white and she has stocky arms and legs. Jamie also wears a mint green T-shirt that is barely visible and makes her appear almost topless, and dark green pants.

In season 2, her skin is now a darker green, making her shirt more visible, her voice slightly changes and is less feminine.

In season 3 onwards, her voice changes once again, and her eyes are now fully covered. Whenever she is shocked, surprised, or frozen in thought, her eyes are still shown.

In "The Uploads," her eyes are shown but they're closed as she sings.

Personality

Jamie is a tomboy and one of the bullies of Elmore Junior High. She is tough, crazy, sadistic, and mean-spirited, loving nothing more than to pick on some of the weaker children with her best friend, Tina, with no genuine remorse for her actions.

Jamie disregards her peers' feelings and does not understand or feel real love. In "The Girlfriend," she violently forces Darwin and later Gumball to date her, completely oblivious to their lack of interest in her. She seems to believe that she can force people to love her, despite the fact that she bullies them. When told that love does not work this way and that it must be earned from trust, she becomes very upset and violently attacks Darwin when he also tries to explain this because she already knows what love is.

Miss Simian held her back a year, forcing her to have brand new classmates who are younger than her. As such, Jamie despises her new classmates. Probably since Miss Simian held her back, she also shows an extreme dislike towards authority in general.

In "The Buddy," after Jamie and Anais are framed for a crime they did not commit, she shows a softer side when she befriends Anais. She and Anais also work together to solve the mystery to the computer viruses in the library and defeat the culprit, the tree librarian.

Jamie is also very unintelligent, which is shown through behaviors like using nonexistent variations of terms such as "intelligenter," "couth," and "dundant" or literally looking at the physical desktop when told to look at the computer desktop. In fact, when she thinks, she literally freezes until she finds an answer; another sign of her low level of intelligence.
