Simon Petrikov

Intro Simon is a famous scientist and Archeologist with a Conflicted obsession with the mystical Ice Crown, Upon surviving the catalystic events, He would later became Marceline's serogate father while slowly and increasingly conflicted with the crown to sacrifice himself at times, leaving out of fear due to his contemplation with his abilities. Simon was known for his intelligence, kindness, and self-sacrifice. Simon was a deeply committed and loving fiancé (to Betty). He proved to be the same way as a watchful guardian over young Marceline during the aftermath of the Mushroom War. Even when they were in great danger, Simon struggled to keep Marceline happy and helped her to always see the best of their situation. He took on a very responsible role in Marceline's life, by not only protecting her and keeping her healthy, but also by teaching her right from wrong and keeping her spirits high. Simon, as a rule, was known for being optimistic even at the worst of times and it is clearly one of Simon's most notable attributes. Even while being saddled with a great burden, Simon fought an apocalyptic world while fighting the omnipotent influence of the Ice Crown. Some of Simon's innermost thoughts and fears of his inevitable madness were revealed in messages left to Marceline. Simon agonized over abandoning Marceline in a dangerous world due to his deteriorating sanity. However, Simon, nearing the very end of his humanity feared for his own life, worried that as the crown took him from Marceline, no one would be able to "save him." His vulnerability as a human was most evident just before he permanently became the Ice King. Now, Simon is depressed and thinking he's useless as he's back to just being a human. He still loves Betty and wishes he could get her back. He occasionally goes into his fridge or freezer out of habit.
