~ Murphy reassuring Grizz, as well as her most famous quote.

Murphy is a major character in the 2015 Cartoon Network original series, We Bare Bears, and a supporting character in its 2020 series finale film, We Bare Bears: The Movie.

Like her fellow Poppy Rangers, Murphy is an amazonic and adventurous little girl scout/troop/park ranger who is a close friend of Ranger Tabes and the three Bears, more especially Grizzly. Murphy shows high commitment to her aforementioned fellow Poppy Rangers, but Murphy is more enthusiastic and optimistic, yet also more hyperaware and intelligent compared to the other Poppy Rangers. Thus, she seems to offer the most amount of reassurance and motivation to Grizz out of the rest of the Poppies. Outside of her career as a park ranger like Ranger Tabes, Murphy is typically seen casually playing with the other Poppy Rangers and having fun, more especially by having tissue and pillow fights with the other Poppy Rangers, or flying kites with them.

Murphy is voiced by Stella Balick-Karrer.

Her Good Ranking[]

Her Heroic Deeds[]

  • In general, Murphy is a supportive, affable and loyal girl who is very helpful and brings hope in numerous situations, showing high loyalty towards her fellow Poppy Rangers and more especially, Ranger Tabes and Grizz Bear, and Murphy is almost never incompetent in her heroism compared to the two, as with the other Poppies.
  • Murphy typically follows all of Ranger Tabes and Grizzly's commands, even if they are too risky.
  • Despite fluctuating from time to time, Murphy builds a huge friendship towards Grizz Bear, even though she was astonished to encounter him for the first time, like how Chloe interacted with the three bears for the first time. Additionally, Murphy even refers him as "Bear Guy" rather than just a traditional bear animal, like the other Poppies, which references Grizz and his fellow bear brothers' philanthropic interaction with the human race. Another point is that out of the rest of the Poppy Rangers, Murphy has the most patience and least grudge with Grizz and his incompetence.
  • Alongside the other Poppies, Murphy saved Wallace from Hurricane Hal, even if it endangered herself.
  • Out of the rest of the Poppy Rangers, Murphy seems to have the least amount of corrupting factors among them, and is not as drastically lethal as the other Poppies, even in their primal states.
  • Murphy is a voice of pure reason in several occasions:
    • When Ranger Tabes encourages Murphy and the other Poppies to explore the dark cave for the badge, Murphy and the other Poppies were reluctant on it and tried to reason with her, fearing the danger they will get themselves into (and sided with Grizz in deciding to take the safer route of the cave), such as being eventually stranded in the cave, and Ranger Tabes felt insecure when they did get stranded, but Murphy encouraged her that she is still an excellent forest ranger, motivating Tabes into optimism and getting herself, Grizz, Murphy and the other Poppy Rangers out of the cave.
    • Murphy even warned Ranger Tabes out of fear that crumbling walls are a sign of erosion.
    • After the Ranger War in the episode, Lord of the Poppies, Murphy was reluctant on eating Grizz, even though she and the other Poppies kidnapped him in the first place to do so, but this was out of immense starvation, and even Grizz himself allowed Murphy and the Poppies to devour him in order to keep them alive, so this is understandable.
    • Despite being dismissive of Grizz and his incompetence in the annual Ranger Games, Murphy eventually motivates and encourage him to defeat the Ivy Rangers, and feels remorseful of dismissing Grizz and his initial lack of skill in the annual game, more especially through cheerleading, in which Grizz reforms his incompetence because of this.
  • Murphy, alongside the other Poppy Rangers and their fellow commander, Ranger Tabes, assisted Grizz Bear, Ice Bear and Panda Bear in defeating Agent Trout, leading to his well-deserved imprisonment and preventing Trout from unlawfully capturing and torturing the three Bears.

Why She Doesn't Stand Out?[]

  • While saving Wallace from Hurricane Hal, offering Grizz and Ranger Tabes a immense positive influence to reform themselves from their corrupting factors, and preventing Agent Trout from unlawfully imprisoning Grizz, Panda and Ice Bear allows her to pass the baseline, Murphy heavily fails the high admirable standards of the We Bare Bears franchise, more especially to the three Bears, including Grizz, and even Ranger Tabes, since her heroism is just supportive.
  • Despite Murphy's aforementioned loyalty towards the other Poppies, Murphy is still eager enough to still argue and bicker with the other Poppies arrogantly from time to time.
  • Murphy is shown to be too dissociative and lethal, demonstrated in the infamous scene in the episode, Lord of the Poppies, where she and the other Poppies fall into insanity after succumbing to immense starvation and having had enough of Grizz's incompetence in attempting to feed them, going as far as turning against Grizz and attempting to devour him. Not only that, Murphy is also too power hungry and berserking, shown during the Ranger War, Murphy insulted and brutally fought the other Poppies for the guidebook to attain leadership, just to rule over the other Poppies out of ruthlessness. As such, Murphy has too much corrupting factors for NPG or PG.
