The New Kid (real name Dovahkiin; later dubbed Douchebag) is the main protagonist of the South Park video game series, consisting of the 2014 video game The Stick of Truth, the 2017 sequel The Fractured but Whole and the 2024 threequel Snow Day.
The new kid is a completely silent protagonist who speaks no words (until the very end of the first game) and has no personality. His/her appearance can be endlessly customized by the player at the beginning of the game and added on with accessories throughout the title.
He was voiced by Matt Stone.
Personality[]
The New Kid's personality is very hard to pin down, due to not only being completely silent, but also showing little expression and reactions to the world around him. His/her actions are left as the only insight to any personality traits. There are a few times where The New Kid does show a definite reaction to things. He/she will take his muteness to the maximum degree, as when people ask his/her name, he just awkwardly stands there. The girls in the first game find The New Kid's silence "hot".
The New Kid's "blank slate" character is an intentional choice by the games' developers, so that the player fills in the blanks themselves. Though The New Kid can be mischevious and annoying (such as punching people as well as farting on them), he shows an even larger heroic side, as The New Kid has stopped many dangerous threats, showing his strong trait of wanting to help others, even when the odds are not in his favor.
In The Fractured But Whole, The New Kid is given a more expressive nature, but still an indefinite and silent one. There are scenes in the game where The New Kid looks genuinely dejected, shocked or confused. Despite The New Kid playing a heroic role in the games, there are events where he witnesses horrific events and does absolutely nothing about it, not offering or going to get help when people have died or are gravely injured.
The darkest actions The New Kid has ever taken was when he had to choose to sacrifice and kill one of his parents to make progress in Dr. Mephesto's genetics lab. Thankfully, this was undone when The New Kid reverted these events by changing the timeline with his farts.
Background[]
Dovahkiin was a normal boy with the odd ability to gain friends with great ease, as he had millions of friends on Facebook when he was only a toddler. As such, the government noticed this ability and hunted him down in order to take advantage of his powers. Despite their efforts, they failed, and Dovahkiin's parents took their son before moving in order to escape the government's clutches.
The Stick of Truth[]
Beginning[]
The New Kid moved with his parents to South Park to escape his forgotten past. Sent out to make friends, the New Kid quickly allies with Butters, Princess Kenny, and their leader, Cartman, who are role-playing as humans in a fantasy war with the Drow Elves, led by Kyle and Stan. The New Kid, dubbed "Douchebag", is introduced to the Stick of Truth, a coveted item of unlimited power. The elves attack Cartman's backyard castle of Kupa Keep and take the Stick. Angry at his follower, Clyde's, failure to protect the Stick, Cartman banishes him from the group. summons Cartman's best warriors, and together, they attack Jimmy, who they learn has the Stick, recovering it for the humans.
Conflict with the Government[]
That night, while the New Kid sleeps, he and several town residents are abducted by aliens. The New Kid escapes his confinement with the help of Stan's dad Randy, and crashes the ship into the town's mall. By morning, the crash has been covered up by the government, with the explanation that a Taco Bell is being built. The New Kid visits Kupa Keep and learns that the Stick was again stolen by the elves. Cartman tasks the New Kid with recruiting the goth kids, who demand that the New Kid prove he is a non-conformist. Randy agrees to help the New Kid in his quest in exchange for the New Kid infiltrating the Taco Bell to discover its secrets. The New Kid sneaks into the crash site and retrieves a recording of government agents discussing their plot to destroy the town, in order to wipe out alien goo released from the ship that turns living creatures into Nazi zombies; an infected person escapes government containment, unleashing the virus on South Park.
That night, Cartman or Kyle (dependant on who the player chooses to follow) leads their respective side against the opposition at the school. After defeating their opponents, the kids learn that neither side has stolen the Stick. Clyde is revealed to have stolen the Stick for revenge at his banishment; he rallies defectors from the humans and elves, and uses the alien goo to create his own Nazi zombies. The humans and elves band together to oppose Clyde, but are too few in number to fight him. At night, the New Kid is awoken by gnomes stealing his underpants; during his pursuit of them, the New Kid gains the ability to change size at will.
Battling Clyde[]
Out of desperation, the New Kid is ordered to invite the girls to play the game. The girls agree to help after the New Kid helps discover which of their friends has been spreading gossip, a quest that sees him infiltrate an abortion clinic, and travel across Canada. Flanked by the girls and Star Trek role-players, the humans and elves attack Clyde's dark tower, fighting through his army. Randy arrives and reveals that the government agents have planted a nuclear device in Mr. Slave's anus to blow up South Park, forcing the New Kid to shrink down and enter Mr. Slave to disarm the bomb. The New Kid finally confronts Clyde, and is forced to battle a resurrected Nazi Zombie Chef; Chef is defeated and Clyde decides he is not playing anymore.
End of the War[]
The government agents arrive, revealing that the New Kid went into hiding to escape them because of his innate ability to make friends on Facebook, which the government wanted to use for its own ends. Learning of the Stick's power, the chief agent takes it for himself and bargains with the New Kid to help him use it in exchange for sharing the power. The New Kid refuses, but Princess Kenny betrays the group, using the Stick to fight them and ultimately infecting himself with the Nazi virus. Unable to defeat Princess Kenny, Cartman tells the New Kid to break their sacred rule, by farting on Kenny's balls, which he does. The resulting explosion defeats Kenny, and completely cures the town of the Nazi virus.
In the epilogue, as South Park rebuilds, the group retrieves the Stick of Truth, but decide that its power is too great for any person to hold and throw it into Stark's Pond. Bored of the game, the boys decide to play something else, but the New Kid, finally speaking for his first and only time, says, "Screw you guys, I'm going home," and leaves; Cartman replies, "Wow, what a dick!"

Traits and abilities[]
Since the New Kid is meant to be you, his skills vary extremely. However, no matter what, the characters among South Park mention that the New Kid have three defining traits:
His first is, of course, his silence. This has become a running gag throughout the entire game, as when anyone asks the New Kid a question, he simply stares at them until they give up on trying to communicate with him. The second trait is his notable ability to make friends with extreme ease. The third and final, shown best through Randy Marsh and Terrence and Phillip, is his great "a-hole" manipulation.
His sphincter is very powerful, as he has a comical amount of control over it, and can break almost anything with the muscle. His flatulence is very powerful and can break just about anything if held long enough. His other traits lay within the player's abilities and choice, as at the beginning of the game, they are given four choices. Fighter, Mage, Thief, and Jew. A Fighter is characterized by great courage and barbaric-esque warrior capabilities, a Mage with high intelligence and a nick for "magic, a Thief with ninja-like sneaking skills and lock picking abilities, and a Jew with incredible risks but incredible rewards and luck. Either way, in the official canon, the player beats the game, thus meaning that the New Kid is widely considered a great and skilled warrior no matter what the player chooses.
Throughout the game, he gains several special abilities. These range from Gnome Dust, a handful mound of powder that he snorts like a drug to get smaller or bigger or an Anal Probe, a device planted in his anus that grants him limited teleportation.

Trivia[]
- In South Park: Phone Destroyer, New Kid is referred to as male, even if customised as female.
- The New Kid has been considered to be "adorable" by kids, adults and elderly people across town.
- In Fractured But Whole, "Backstory You", along with other summoned allies, has a deep male adult voice when attacked. This was later patched in an update.
- In Stick Of Truth, when the Underpants Gnomes are taking the New Kid's underwear at night, if one looks closely, the New Kid appears to sneeze, which gets their attention.
- In Fractured But Whole, the hair choices for New Kid are reused hair from characters that have appeared in episodes of the series, such as; Mike Cooper, Nancy, Bridon Gueermo, and Nichole.
- According to the description in the "Tech" component, the New Kid sleeps through science classes. Though it could be because they already acquired the knowledge, as seen in the scanning process, they have much understanding in higher science.
- The Almighty King Douchebag is likely a white kid with brown hair by default, as shown in the "Ancient Myths" and the pre-combat picture of "Heavy Hitters". A scrapped title card intended for the battle versus the Almighty King Douchebag also agrees with this form.
- In Fractured But Whole, a glitch often occurs when another person is hurt in combat. In this case, the lines will not be different, but the New Kid's lips will be moving accordingly and not the victim. The result is that the New Kid will be seemingly responding to the attack.
- "Dovahkiin" is a reference to the protagonist of the 2011 video game, Skyrim. "Dovahkiin" translates to "Dragonborn" from dragon language. A previous promotion for Skyrim had Bethesda (the developers/publishers of Skyrim) offering free Bethesda games for life if someone named their child "Dovahkiin", and the New Kid's name is possibly a reference to this.
- In Stick of Truth, regardless of the New Kid's hair style, residents in South Park (including the New Kid's parents) will often mock them of their haircut. While in Fractured But Whole, the ridicule continued, but the target will be switched to their clothes. In Fractured But Whole, if the New Kid's head is bald, the section will have the title of "Unequipped", implying that the New Kid has removed all of their hair sometime between the two games.
