Shape Japer

The Shape Japer

The Shape Japer is a female purple sphere with a permanent angry face, a grin, and sharp teeth. She's usually the cause of things changing shape, or particular shapes having problems. She flies through the air, doesn't speak much, but laughs maniacally. She is able to change her shape from sphere to cube at will. She is slightly mad and instinctive rather than calculating.

She is also the meanie who makes the most appearances.

Appearance

The Shape Japer is a purple ball with a permanent angry face, a grin, and sharp teeth. And she often changes shapes all the time.

Personality

The Shape Japer is one of the usually the cause of things changing shape or size, such as mops, and builders poles, or particular shapes having problems. She is the nicest and easiest meanie to beat and the smallest meanie.

She flies through the air, and although she does speak, she doesn’t know how to speak well, but laughs maniacally. She is able to change her shape from sphere to cube at will.

When she gets defeated she always makes a very weird sound and she feels uncomfortable at the same time when the brain gain attacks her.

The Shape Japer can get very frustrated when the Numberjacks beat her.

Trivia

• She is the only member of the Meanies to be reasoned with. This is seen in Slide and Turn, when Five stopped the Shape Japer from sliding and turning shaped objects, even though she finds another way of causing trouble.
• Some troubles that she makes don't necessarily have to be involving shapes. It can be based on the numbers that is in a specific shape. For instance, in May the Fours Be with You, she is permanently a cube. Having eight corners, she makes everything with eights go bad.
  • The troubles can also involve how shapes are made. In Slide and Turn, sliding is a process of making lines and shapes with straight edges, while turning is a process of making circular shapes.
• She appears to have relatively sharp eyes, as she can see shapes that can hardly be noticed. This was first seen in Square Dancing when she sees a man's diamond patterned ties actually have squares being rotated 45 degrees.
• In 3 Things Good, Three, Five and Six found lots of threes in them and make triangles. Three was on her own during her solo mission because they had a problem with the Launcher.
• When she changes into a cube, her eyebrows stretch into trapezium, and her top row teeth are longer while the bottom ones are flat and her round sides of her eyes turn straight.
• Although it is not noticeable, the Shape Japer is actually the youngest of the Meanies.
  • It's a possibility that she's the same age as Three.
• When she speaks, she has some lisp. This is either due to lack of tongue, or that she is young.
  • This was not successful in Bad Circles, as Six couldn't reason with her.
• In Series 2 & reruns of Series 1 from 2009-onwards, the shape of her teeth are changed to semicircles, instead of triangles.
• She has the smallest size of the meanies but is bigger than the Numberjacks.
• Her mouth doesn’t close, instead, it gets taller and shorter.
