He frequently complains about tall people and even grumbles about having short legs when tired. ~Aggressive: Like other Greasers, he’s confrontational and readily participates in bullying and fights. ~Hot-tempered: Peanut can become particularly irritated when people mock or challenge him. ~Status-conscious: Despite his insecurities, he clearly wants to maintain his tough Greaser reputation. ~Obsessive/infatuated: His dialogue occasionally mixes up his feelings toward Johnny and Lola, suggesting he’s somewhat confused about his own emotions. ~Protective of his clique: He’s heavily involved in Greaser activities and is often seen assisting Johnny or participating in conflicts. Emotions & Behavior Peanut tends to act tougher than he feels. His constant comments about height suggest that his stature is a personal insecurity, while his aggressive behavior helps him project toughness.

He’s also frequently seen egg­ing the Boys’ Dorm at night, demonstrating his mischievous and delinquent side.

His build is generally average and relatively lean, rather than bulky or heavily muscular. His most notable physical characteristic is that he’s portrayed as being shorter/smaller than many of the other boys, which ties directly into his insecurity and nickname. Reputation at Bullworth: Peanut has a reputation as a tough, aggressive Greaser delinquent and Johnny’s right-hand man. However, despite technically holding the second-in-command position, the Fandom source notes that other cliques don’t give him as much respect as his rank might suggest. Norton Williams can also take charge when Johnny and Peanut aren’t present. Peanut is best characterized as a hot-headed, insecure, fiercely loyal Greaser who compensates for his insecurities by acting tough and aggressive, while remaining unusually devoted to Johnny
