Trevor Angstrom, "Big Barry on Campus"
Trevor Angstrom is a supporting character in the series Kiff. He is a classmate of Kiff Chatterley and Barry Buns at Table Town Middle School, and one of the duo's closest school friends.
Profile[]
Trevor in class.
Trevor Angstrom[6] is a student at Table Town Middle School, where he attends Miss Deer Teacher's class with Kiff Chatterley and Barry Buns and is part of the duo's core group of school friends, alongside Renée du Bedat, Candle Fox, and Reggie Racona. Trevor lives with his mother in an old wizard house in Table Town's Rolltop Woods. He has an older brother, Hobart, who is in college and lives away from home.
Appearance[]
Trevor is a hedgehog with cream fur covering most of his body, as well as lighter-toned fur on his belly. He has a pointed snout and hairy brown quills.
Personality[]

Trevor is an amiable, if often socially awkward, individual. Early on in the series, he was established as an unpopular student desperate for friendship, to the point of alienating Kiff and Barry with his extreme ploys to make friends, despite the duo's sympathy and willingness to be friendly with him; in "Kiff's Mix", Trevor plots to mass produce the Kiff's Mix cereal against Kiff's wishes because he sees his customers as potential friends, while in "Friendiversary", he tries to replace Kiff as Barry's best friend.

Following the aforementioned two appearances, however, Trevor grows to become more respectable and trustworthy, and despite his social awkwardness and occasionally questionable morals, he has since managed to maintain a good friendship with Kiff and Barry. He has proven himself over time to be a dependable friend to the duo, often assisting them as a third participant in their adventures. Trevor has also formed a close friendship with Candle, despite their seemingly contrasting personalities.
Trevor and his mother live a relatively antiquated lifestyle, residing in the woods instead of the suburbs and not owning a TV.[7] Upon seeing Kiff's smartphone in "Kiff's Mix", he is amazed and asks whether it has Internet connectivity and is capable of streaming TV (though in subsequent episodes he is shown to have eventually procured a smartphone of his own). In "Fresh Outta Grandmas", Trevor attempts to join in on the fingies trend at school by wearing pieces of garbage instead of actual fingies, fooling nobody.
Relationships[]
Kiff Chatterley and Barry Buns[]
Kiff and Barry comforting Trevor.
In his first speaking appearance in "Big Barry on Campus", Trevor offers to be Kiff's new best friend when Barry is mistakenly sent to Table Town High School. Kiff declines but lets Trevor sit next to her in the cafeteria, despite being disgusted by his messy eating habits.
Trevor's relationship with Kiff and Barry is initially frictious. In "Kiff's Mix", he lies about having a brand new TV to convince them to visit his home and hang out with him, though when he admits the truth, the two do not mind and stay anyway. After Kiff creates a delicious cereal mix called Kiff's Mix in the kitchen, Trevor, seeing it as an opportunity for popularity, betrays Kiff by attempting to convince Barry to partner with him to mass produce and sell Kiff's Mix, despite Kiff's objections. When his plan falls apart, however, Kiff and Barry pity and comfort Trevor, who then apologizes for his actions. In "Friendiversary", Trevor double crosses Kiff again by trying to replace her as Barry's best friend, though he is again forgiven; in the episode, Trevor seemingly implies that he has a secret plan to intrude into Kiff and Barry's friendship, though this is never brought up again.

Subsequently, Trevor has come to be a dependable friend to Kiff and Barry, and a reliable source of assistance in the duo's adventures, often together with the rest of their "crew". He agrees to be the ticket taker at Kiff's home movie theater in "Nicknames" and serves as Kiff's PA during the production of her film Found in Ambiguity in "Blooper Quest". In "Trevor's Rockin' Halloween Bash", Kiff and Barry are initially the only two people to attend Trevor's Halloween party, and he later assists them in defeating Scarm Scaremly. In "Kiff and Barry Go to Prom", the three bond over their mutual interest in high school gossip and crash the high school prom together.
In "The Other Movie", Kiff, Barry, and Trevor hang out at the Table Town Mall cinema, where their visit descends into chaos after they sneak into the theater next to theirs to watch a different movie. In "Taily", Trevor creates an attack ad on Mr. RiPeppa for Kiff to use in her campaign to be class president.
Trevor's insecurities are again glimpsed in "Wiff & Larry", where his jealousy toward Kiff and Barry for their heroic reputations leads him to write a spiteful story about the two. However, when Kiff and Barry set up multiple opportunities for Trevor to be heroic himself, he bungles all of them due to his self-serving instincts. After the duo eventually succeed in making Trevor look like a hero, Trevor rewrites his story in gratitude. In "The Tower on Trevor", when Trevor builds a tower on his body that eventually reaches beyond ceiling level, Kiff and Barry find themselves having to talk Trevor into abandoning the tower for his own well-being.
"Of B&B's and Piano Keys" finds Trevor at his most shamelessly amoral. In the episode, he is shown to have spent the last six years deceiving his mother by skipping his piano lessons and instead buying B&B's candy with the tuition money she gives him. When he eventually finds himself having to play the piano for her, he makes Kiff and Barry help him get through his recital by once again tricking them into visiting his house, then feeding them some of his "piano money B&B's" and claiming this now makes them complicit in his misdeeds. He avoids taking any accountability for his actions and shows no remorse until he is finally forced to admit his deception to his mother, bringing her to tears. Despite Kiff and Barry somehow managing to resolve the situation on a positive note, and Trevor pledging to finally follow through on taking music lessons, he reverts back to his old habits only one week later.
In "Oh, Brother", Kiff and Barry run into Trevor picking up a visiting Hobart from the tram station. Trevor introduces Hobart to Kiff and Barry at their request, but when they end up neglecting Trevor to hang out more with Hobart, whom they find to be cool, Trevor becomes convinced that Hobart is trying to steal his friends. Kiff and Barry ultimately feel bad for snubbing Trevor and later tell Hobart that their friendship with Trevor, "his many flaws and all", comes first. In the same episode, Trevor implies that he prefers Barry's company to Kiff's, saying in an inner monologue, "I love Barry, and I like Kiff just fine."
Candle Fox[]
Candle and Trevor rekindling their friendship.
Trevor is shown to be a fan of Candle's clique the Abras in "Two Truths and a Bunny". Later in "Friendship in the Time of Cheese Caves", Trevor and Candle are assigned to man the sales booth together at the class car wash despite having no chemistry, and Candle acts coldly toward Trevor. When Kiff encourages them to interact, however, the two form an unlikely friendship. The friendship is jeopardized when Trevor is weirded out by a "chunky text" sent by Candle, but thanks to Kiff's intervention, Trevor realizes his error in judging Candle and they reconcile. Kiff later learns, to her annoyance, that Trevor and Candle initially bonded by joking with each other about Kiff's swim shorts.
In "The Haunting of Miss McGravy's House", Trevor and Candle plan to go trick-or-treating together but instead join Kiff in her plan to save Miss McGravy's house, where the two work together to make the living room look spookier.
Mrs. Angstrom[]
Trevor and his mother.
Trevor and his mother have a loving relationship. Mrs. Angstrom briefly appears in "Trevor's Rockin' Halloween Bash", watching over Trevor, Kiff, and Barry at the Halloween party in the Angstrom residence; later, Trevor obliges to his mother's request for him to keep Barry company in the attic.
When Trevor's mother asks him to perform a piano concerto at her fundraiser in "Of B&B's and Piano Keys", Trevor, who secretly skipped all his piano lessons, spends the hours before the fundraiser trying to find a way to fake his performance. Only after Mrs. Angstrom learns the truth and is brought to tears does Trevor finally feel remorse for all his wrongdoings. The two later reconcile when she sees Barry's redesign of the Angstroms' bathroom and mistakes it for Trevor's work.
Hobart Angstrom[]
Trevor and Hobart have a great relationship, though Trevor also thinks that Hobart is "a little weird" and blissfully unaware of his own weirdness – oblivious to the fact that this description more accurately describes Trevor, and that Hobart is actually considered cool by virtually everyone.
In "Oh, Brother", when Kiff and Barry are won over by Hobart's cool personality and end up spending more time with Hobart than Trevor, Trevor incorrectly assumes that Hobart is stealing his friends and unsuccessfully tries to publicly humiliate Hobart in revenge. The brothers later have a heart-to-heart conversation where Hobart consoles Trevor by admitting that he finds Trevor's assertiveness cool, remarking that he wishes he was "half as ruthless and unhinged as you are."

Trivia[]
- For reasons that he refuses to elaborate on, he keeps a "grandma album" full of photos of every old lady living in Table Town.[8]
- His favorite movie is Fighting Families: Valentine's Day Vacation.[9]
- In "Kiff Escape!", he demonstrates that he can easily read backwards text, having developed this skill by practicing with a mirror for three months out of boredom.
- Nick Namé's nickname for him is "Straight-Edge", because of his habit of handing over his phone to Nick at the Table Town Mall cinema before watching a movie to prevent himself from being tempted to use the phone for illegal recording.[5]
- While no mention is made in the series of any members of Trevor's family other than his mother, a third hedgehog can briefly be seen in a photo with Trevor and his mother in "Of B&B's and Piano Keys".
