	~~https://web~~.~~archive~~.~~org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/b/ba/dancinbubs.PNG/180px-dancinbubs.PNG~~		'''Rejected characters''' from [[Homestar Runner (body of work)\|Homestar Runner]] are those that appeared briefly, typically very early in the site's history, but were not further developed and do not appear outside of brief, occasional cameos. They were designed for various purposes, often relating to one of the final [[Characters\|main characters]] or as an attempt to fill [[The Only Girl\|a niche in character design]].

	~~''Who are those two over by The Cheat ?''~~		Rejected characters were typically shared in the [[Sketchbook\|weekly]] or [[Sketchbook (museum)\|Museum Sketchbook]], seen in early site pages, or revealed in [[Why Come Only One Girl?]]. [[The Brothers Chaps]] have also occasionally brought up characters in [[Interviews\|interviews]] or DVD commentaries. In recent years, several characters have made cameo appearances in [[A Decemberween Mackerel]] or in [[@StrongBadActual]] tweets.

	~~This is a list of '''rejected~~ characters~~''' — incomplete or largely unused character designs by [[The Brothers Chaps\|the Brothers Chaps]] that~~ were ~~not developed into [[Characters\|characters]] with a full, prominent appearance~~ in ~~a toon and do not appear outside of brief, rare cameos. These characters may have been designed for various purposes, often relating to one of~~ the ~~final~~ [[~~Characters~~\|~~main characters~~]] or ~~as an attempt to fill~~ [[~~The Only Girl\|a niche in character design]].~~

	~~Most rejected character designs were explored in the earliest years of [[Homestar Runner~~ (~~body of work~~)\|~~Homestar Runner]]. By [[2002~~]], when [[homestarrunner.com\|the site]] had established a weekly schedule, the [[Main Characters\|core cast]] had been solidified and few attempts were made to introduce new characters; instead, new and different characters generally appeared in ~~[[Homestar Runner universe\|alternate, variant, or fictional "universes"]].~~

	~~Glimpses at rejected characters appeared in [[Dancin' Bubs\|~~early pages]], ~~often [[Secret Pages\|unlisted]] and/~~or [[~~Character Cards\|unfinished~~]] ~~ones~~. ~~Later references to rejected character designs are typically limited to out-of-universe content like the~~ [[~~Sketchbook\|weekly~~]] or [[~~Sketchbook (museum)~~\|~~Museum sketchbooks~~]] or [[DVD~~]] [[Why Come Only One Girl?\|special features]]~~. In ~~later~~ years, ~~some character designs~~ have seen minor inclusions in the body of work proper — albeit typically deployed as [[Inside Jokes\|inside jokes]], where the humor is meant to appeal to fans who could recognize such an obscure reference. For example, a scene in [[A Decemberween Mackerel]] ~~features a~~ [[~~Silhouettes\|silhouetted~~]] line of figures consisting mainly of rejected characters that go unremarked on in the toon's narrative. More recently, several previously-rejected characters have been brought back for a full proper introduction to the body of work.

	Champeen first appeared, unnamed, in the background of the [[Dancin' Bubs]] game. Her name was revealed years later in [[Why Come Only One Girl?]], which explained she was intended to be the female equivalent of Homestar Runner. Similar to Homestar, she [[Lack of Visible Arms\|lacks arms]] and has a cylindrical body with long, thin legs and red soles at the bottom of her feet. Her skin is a light manila, and she has orange hair worn in pigtails. She wears a frilly light blue dress and a [[Gold\|gold]] medal, hinting at her athletic successes (although [[Strong Bad]] suspects it's [[Chocolate\|chocolate]] [[Hanukkah gelt\|gelt]]).

			\| '''Preshy and Rafferty'''
			\|
			Preshy (right, in pink) and Rafferty (left, in blue) were designed for the [[Unfinished Toons\|unfinished toon]] "Those Darn Cousins", which was in production around the year 2000 or 2001. The plot would've revolved around the duo terrorizing Homestar, only to act sweetly to him when others are watching so he cannot find relief. Although they are [[Homestar Runner]]'s cousins, they refer to him as "Uncle Homestar"; Preshy and Rafferty were voiced by [[The Brothers Chaps]]' young niece and nephew.
			Rafferty has a similar appearance to Homestar, albeit with hair, arms, and hands. Preshy has a similar body shape to Homestar, while her head resembles Strong Sad's with the soft-serve flip on the back of her head. They both cameo in [[A Decemberween Mackerel]]. They later appeared in [[Mario Paint Thursdays Compilation\|Mario Paint Thursdays]], coming in 3rd and 2nd place, respectively, in a Rejected Characters competition for the gold.
