Skipper is often really popular. He's the leader, so he usually gets involved in all the big decisions and action - packed scenes in fanfiction. His strong leadership and no - nonsense attitude make him a favorite.
Obviously, the baby penguins themselves are the main characters. There's Skipper, the leader who is always ready to take charge and make quick decisions. Kowalski, the smart one who often comes up with plans. Rico, the unpredictable one with his strange habits. And Private, the youngest and the most innocent of the group.
In addition to the penguins, sometimes there are also human characters who play important roles. For instance, a kind - hearted scientist who discovers the penguins and tries to study them in a friendly way. Or a little boy or girl who befriends the penguins and helps them navigate the human world. These human characters interact with the penguins and add more depth to the story.
A human artist is also a popular character in some fanfictions. This artist could be painting portraits of the animals in the circus or creating amazing set designs. Their creativity and passion for art could inspire the animals to try new things in their performances, and they would form interesting relationships with the more creative animal characters like the lemurs.
Kowalski is another popular choice. Given his intelligence, in human fanfiction, he could be a brilliant scientist or a genius detective. His analytical mind can drive the plot forward, whether it's solving a complex mystery or inventing a new technology within the fanfiction world.
A character like an OC penguin who is a master of disguise would be really cool. This penguin can transform into any other animal in Madagascar, which is very useful when they need to gather information or infiltrate an enemy's lair. The Penguins of Madagascar are always amazed by this OC's skills and rely on it during their missions.
Often, the main characters are the baby penguins themselves. They are the focus as they embark on mini - adventures in the world of Madagascar. Baby Skipper could be the brave leader - in - training, always trying to protect his little group. Baby Kowalski would be the smart one, coming up with plans, though they might not always work perfectly at first because he's still learning. Baby Rico, with his unique eating and spitting abilities, would add a bit of humor. And baby Private, the sweet and innocent one, would be the heart of the group. These characters are the core of most Penguins of Madagascar baby fanfiction stories as they allow for a lot of cute and exciting storylines.
The penguins would approach it in their own unique way. They might see it as a mission to ensure GIA's safety and the safety of the unborn baby. They could set up elaborate security measures around where GIA is staying, using their military - like tactics to keep everything in order.
Given the nature of the 'Madagascar' series, the main characters in this 'Pest Side Story' might include the four main friends: Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman. They could be the ones facing the pest - related situation. Or there could be new characters introduced that are directly related to the pest concept, like a little rodent character that is causing chaos and these main characters have to deal with it.
To develop Alex's character better, you could focus on his struggle between his upbringing in the zoo and his roots in Madagascar. Show how he tries to adapt Zuba's teachings to his own modern - influenced ways. For Zuba, emphasize his wisdom from years of living in the wild and his hopes for Alex to become a true king of the jungle.
