Lincoln Loud

Lincoln Loud is the protagonist of The Loud House.

Biography
Lincoln is the sixth oldest, the middle child and the only boy in the Loud family at the age of 11. His most annoying habit is reading comics and novels in his underwear only.

He often speaks to the viewers about how he gets around his often-chaotic household, and the insane antics of his ten sisters. Along with Lucy he's the least loud of 11 the siblings.

Personality
Lincoln is an enthusiastic and charismatic boy. Although in some occasions he can act selfishly, he is a good-hearted boy that is always looking for fun. As the family nerd, Lincoln is an avid fancier of comic books, manga, video games, fantasy and science fiction stories, which are typical interests for a child his age. His favorite music band is SMOOCH as seen in "For Bros About to Rock".

He is known to be "the man with a plan", as he is usually elaborating plans with an specific objective (most of them for his own benefits). His plans rarely succeed because of his own selfish and reckless decisions or by his sisters' interference. When he goes too far he will always find the solution even if that means humiliating himself as seen in "Making the Case" and in "Sleuth or Consequences".

Most of the time Lincoln is quiet and relaxed, but sometimes he gets upset when he is annoyed or something goes wrong. Also he has proved to be very patient, especially with his sisters. He tries to make friends with other boys but they do not care about him as much as Clyde, his only friend. He really feels bad of being an outcast so he tries to be like the others. He's a very individual person with limited experience of teamwork in contrast to his sisters who cooperate as roommates, which was shown in "It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud, House". His greatest fear is the family falling apart, as shown in "Butterfly Effect", along with being hated by his sisters, as shown in "Making the Case".

Something that Lincoln has showed is that he is a multi-faceted boy. By living with ten sisters with a different personality each one, he is adapted to them, so he can communicate with any of them and help them with their activities without a problem.

Nick Description
"As the middle child and the only boy, Lincoln is often used as a lab rat or fashion show participant. On the plus side, he gets his own room. Even if it is a converted linen closet. To survive in this house, Lincoln always has to have a plan. With 10 sisters and 1 bathroom, he has to!"

Appearance
Lincoln has short white hair. A large tuft of his hair sticks up. He has an overbite with a prominent chipped front tooth, noticeable bags around his eyes, and freckles on his cheeks. He also has fresh hair on his chest.

Lincoln usually dresses in an orange polo shirt, blue jeans, gray socks with blue and red stripes, and white sneakers with red stripes. His sleepwear is an orange nightshirt with matching pants, but sometimes he wears his orange t-shirt and his underwear. His swimsuit is a pair of orange trunks. He always reads his comic books in white briefs and socks.

His sisters generally
Even with chaotic and stressful antics from his sisters, he loves them very much and cares for them deeply and enjoys their antics as fun, for the most part. Whatever problem they have, they can count on Lincoln to help them and vice versa. For a long time they always fight for the remote control, found money, the best place in their family van, and in the living room.

As a big brother he is rather protective as he resolves conflicts between his sisters, the younger and the older. All of his sisters would get annoyed with him if he dis something like flat out ignoring him in "Sound of Silence", since they all have an equally tough time finding quiet time in their home, so, they would show him the consequences as payback. He often feels he has enough of his sisters only to find he quickly gets lonely without them as seen in "Linc or Swim". As shown in "Heavy Meddle", all of his sisters can't tolerate anybody bullying Lincoln, and they are supportive of his romantic life as well, showing that all of them want the best for their brother, and for him to be happy. They are incompetent in helping him so he usually wants to handle issues himself but they always try to help much to his annoyance, and shows frustration and disdain toward them when they won't listen to him.

Even if Lincoln is the only boy in the family, he is very happy that he has so many sisters because they are always there for him when he needs help, and he can always count on them for support and/or help, as seen in Cover Girls and Project Loud House. In the segment Cover Girls, all the sisters helped Lincoln get to their house undetected by their parents. Later, he agreed to cover them all. Despite this, Lana hogties him intending to be playful in "House Music" they all got waylaid and forgot to untie him before he shouted back, this wasn't intended but was only out of being flawed in initiative and competence. In Project Loud House, after his project was destroyed, his sisters help him pass his assignment by posing a life like version of the original.

Lori
Lori is often very mean, bossy, and/or nasty towards him, and at times seems to be the sister he has the worst relationship (alongside Lola and occasionally Lynn) with but, she deeply loves him although she doesn't admit it.

In "Get the Message", she accidentally broke his video game and didn't apologize. That lead to Lincoln to write a hateful letter to her and send her a nasty message. However, she bought him a new copy of the destroyed video game, gave it to him and then apologized (even though the way she did it didn't sound genuine, and she is still kind of a jerk about it). Lincoln felt sorry for this and attempted to erase the message before she could hear it. She later erases it herself, and berates him for calling her phone, and at the end she unintentionally comes across his note he used for the nasty message, and storms out yelling, and threatening Lincoln. Even though she got him the new game goggles it is still hard to say if it makes up for her nasty attitude throughout the story, and like mentioned before her sentiment towards Lincoln for breaking his old pair didn't sound sincere.

Lincoln is afraid of Lori when she's angry and runs from her. Like his other siblings, he detests when she's too bossy to them.

In "No Guts, No Glori" it is shown that when the two get along they can make a pretty good team.

Lori gave Lincoln her bike in "Hand-Me-Downer". She even gave him a plate with his name on it.

In "Save the Date", Lori was devastated after Bobby broke up with her because Lincoln insulted his sister Ronnie Anne. She was so angry she tried to hurt him by throwing random things at him. She intimidated him into helping her fix this.

In "The Waiting Game" the entire episode centers around their relationship. After Lincoln informs Lori about a job opening so she can earn enough money for a dress for a school dance, she offers him free root beers and pizza for him and his friend Clyde. However as the episode goes on, Lincoln begins to take advantage of her to get whatever he wants and she is forced to give in to him. Near the end of the episode Lori tells Lincoln that thanks to him she isn't able to go to the dance with Bobby and sarcastically (but not maliciously) "thanks" him in a sad tone. Now realizing his mistake, Lincoln explains what happened to Lori's boss and he offers Lori a deal that she can go to the dance and Lincoln fills in for her. She thanks him at the end of the episode and they hug before she leaves for the dance with Bobby.

Leni


Leni's ignorance and naivety often causes annoying occurrences for Lincoln, but he tolerates it, because of her kind and friendly nature, making them have one of the closest relationships of the siblings.

In "Driving Miss Hazy" he helped her to get her driving license by using her semi-language. He also convinced her to not give up trying, but she ultimately fails, thanks to Lori.

In "Along Came a Sister", Lincoln brought his classes' pet tarantula home for the weekend, and Leni tried to kill it out of fear. However, after she learned Lincoln will have big trouble in school because of the dead spider, she felt very sorry. When the spider is still alive, she protected it to save her brother's status quo proving how much she loves her brother, and the good person she is.

Leni gave Lincoln her t-shirt in "Hand-Me-Downer".

In "Linc or Swim", she happily invited him to a newly purchased pool, although he was mean to her and the others for using his pool. After he accidentally destroyed their pool, he invited them all to rejoin him in his pool.

Luna
Because Luna is very nice and helpful towards everyone, Lincoln seems to tolerate her the most and they have one of the closest relationship of the siblings. She sings songs for him to make him feel better or to motivate him to do hard things.

Alongside Leni, his relationship with her is the best among his older sisters, and she also seems to be the most empathetic towards him, like in "Picture Perfect", acknowledging that the urge to get a perfect picture of them had changed him for the worst, since she knows he never behaved this demandingly before. Despite this, she is not above following suit when his other sisters get angry with him, or having inconsiderate moments with him such as in "The Sweet Spot" where she attacks him in order to get the best seat in the van, or in "Sleuth or Consequences" accusing Lincoln of clogging the toilet, and then being smug towards him about the Princess Pony reveal. In "It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud, House" she kicks him out of her room by blasting her guitar strings through powerful amps at him, just out of competition among all of the Loud kids to find the money. This is very nasty by her standards, while it would be more expected from someone else like Lynn.

Luna gave Lincoln her old, but broken guitar in "Hand-Me-Downer". In "Ties That Bind" after Luna interpreted that she makes Rita's ears bleed she felt sad because of the harsh reception. Lincoln and Luan patted Luna on shoulders to make her feel bit better.

In "For Bros About to Rock", she wanted to make his first concert very unforgettable. He brutally admitted he doesn't want her to ruin his first concert as she had already done to Lori, Lana, Lola and Lisa. She felt hurt but realized he's correct about her. After Lincoln was arrested for attempted illegal purchasing of concert tickets, Luna disguised herself as their mom to get him free so they and Clyde could go to the concert. At the end they all enjoyed the concert together.

Luan
Like all of his sisters he gets annoyed by Luan's unfunny and/or terrible jokes. She can at times pull nasty pranks on him, but this is likely due to the fact that she is trying to be funny, and isn't really aware that what she did can cause him grief, so it appears that she does it without malicious intentions.

In "Making the Case", he came to her for advice on making funny viral videos, and she happily gave him the idea to always have the camera on. After he humiliated all his sisters Luan was the only one who had any desire to speak with him. She gave him an advice how to fix his relationship with sisters. When he thought he was going to be expelled from his family in "Ties That Bind", he left her his comic book collection, but she refused them as she didn't want him to leave.

Luan gave Lincoln her old ventriloquist dummy in Hand-Me-Downer, and said she won't forgive him if he loses it.

In "Cover Girls", Luan was very sad when Lincoln got hurt, trying to get into his room.

Lynn
His relationship with her is quite complex. She often bullies him and during playing as seen in The Sweet Spot, she roughhouses with him and often doesn't stop to acknowledge when this leaves him battered. She likely picked him as her sparing partner because he's the closest to her in strength and fitness. Like everyone Lynn gets annoyed by Lincoln when he reads comics in underwear only.

In "Hand-Me-Downer", she was angry at him for stealing her bike and losing it, so she took his bike to the race. However after she won the race and he found the bike she allowed him to keep it.

In "Space Invader", after she had a heated argument with Lucy, Lincoln was the first person she asked to share rooms. She used puppy eyes to convince him. He couldn't endure her roughhousing, her pranks and especially her snoring. However he loved her too much to just kick her out so he tried to be a bad roommate. However she complimented him for a perfect impersonation of Lucy, and beating her in Mexican wrestling. She finds him the best roommate ever, better than Lucy. Then he decided to restore peace between her and Lucy, after his plan works (and ends up getting their room covered in spaghetti), he lets both Lynn and Lucy sleep in his room.

In "The Loudest Yard" Lincoln was assigned by their mom to a football team and Lynn offered him to teach him how to play. She tried to train him but it was hard due to his laziness much to her annoyance. Later Lynn agreed to impersonate Lincoln during his football matches.

The two have fairly little in common, with Lynn having no interest in comics and Lincoln being lazy and not always as eager to jump to the next extreme sport as she does. However the two often spar with each other on friendly terms, as Lincoln attempts to outdo her at parkour even though she's the more able athlete.

Like the rest of the sisters, Lynn does not take well to Lincoln being bullied, and will quickly rush to his defense if this is the case. They also cover for each other when needed, such as when Lynn assisted the others to get Lincoln back inside after curfew in "Cover Girls", and aided him when he injured himself in the process. Lincoln returns the favor when she asks him to cover her chores for the day when she wants to attend a game, and rushes back to help him when his attempts to cover for all ten of them gets out of hand.

Lucy
They don't share the same interests but they get on well with each other, however Lincoln hates it when Lucy scares him. Lucy sometimes asks him for help to create rhymes for her poems. Despite her "spooky" personality, Lincoln seems to appreciate her and he tolerates her creepy hobby and she's glad for his tolerance. So, they share a close bond, having the closest relationship of the youngest siblings.

Once he invited her to play in ghost hunting but she refused explaining they are her friends. In "Sleuth or Consequences" she clogged the toilet which lead to Lincoln being wrongly accused. She tried to help him clear his name so he could go to the comic book convention, but also tried to frame her other sisters. When Lincoln discovered she's guilty, she begged him not to tell anyone to save herself from humiliation for rest of her life, and he took the blame himself. She was grateful to him so she showed her appreciation for it by giving him her homemade horror comic, which he accepted with pleasure.

Lana
Lincoln often ceases arguments between Lola and Lana, and he promised to protect them from ghosts during "Left in the Dark". She admits she's not picky about food, but Lincoln's sandwich was too bad for her. She's close enough to Lincoln to introduce him her new pets, and for the most part the two seem to get along okay.

She once took the remote control to scratch her back, Lincoln agreed to scratch her back if she gives him the remote control back.

In "Hand-Me-Downer" he gave her his newest bike, much to her joy.

In "Toads and Tiaras", Lincoln wanted tickets to Dairyland so much he convinced Lana to impersonate Lola to compete in a beauty contest to win them. Much to her annoyance, he tried to make her act not like herself but he constantly reminded her about Dairyland. However after seeing how much she suffered not being herself he apologized to her and told her to be herself even if she doesn't win the contest, but to their excitement, they win the tickets.

Lola
Lola often blames him for many bad things that happen to her even if she can blame only herself like in "Chore and Peace" and "It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud, House" and he rivals him like Lana very much. He's afraid of Lola's anger, and she can easily take advantage of him, even though she is almost half his age (although in "Sound of Silence" it's shown that she can be intimidating and/or threatening to any of her siblings). She was his main opponent in "Undie Pressure". He lost and abandoned his habit as a part of the deal, but Lola felt sorry so she bought him comfortable slips, he hugged her in return.

Lola is always grateful towards Lincoln when he does nice things for her. She is selfish and likes to inconsiderately paint his nails and put make ups on his face as seen in The Sweet Spot and Overnight Success, but he tolerates this and takes it well.

Lisa
Lisa considers him and rest of the sisters as not very intelligent. Lincoln doesn't have a lot of interactions with her, but the two don't seem to have many problems with each other, a part from Lisa's sometimes harmful experiments. He gets disgusted, annoyed or down right terrified when she tries to use him or the other sisters as test subjects for her experiments, like in "Project Loud House", after she turns Leni's skin blue, or putting Lily into a mad scientist's like machine in "Changing the Baby".

In "Butterfly Effect", Lincoln breaks Lisa's chemical bottles with his yo-yo and he believes Lisa will get angry for what he did, but instead of being angry she becomes ecstatic with him and thanks him for prove her hypothesis and for admitting what he did.

Lily
He and Lily seem to really love each other. Lincoln is one of the siblings who often carries Lily (along with Lori, Leni, and Luna), changes her diapers and burps her. Lincoln lets Lily play with his favorite plushy Bun-Bun as seen in Heavy Meddle. He tries to implement his interests on his baby sister because he had nobody to play with in the episode "Changing the Baby". He's very protective towards her as he saved her from falling, searched for her when she was missing, and saved her from Lisa's seemingly dangerous experiment. In "Two Boys and a Baby" he babysat her and learned it isn't as easy as he thought.

Rita and Lynn Sr.
Lincoln also loves his parents and they love him too. Every time he wants to do something he must ask them for permission like in "In Tents Debate", where he asks them if they can go to another place for their annual vacation. In "Ties That Bind", Lincoln believes that his parents want to get rid of him and his sisters, but it was just a misunderstanding. They seem to not favor any of their children to prevent harder sibling rivalry.

In "A Novel Idea", Rita felt sorry for Lincoln when Lynn Loud Sr. takes girls to his workplace for take your daughter to work day, she takes him to her workplace, a dentist office, he try to make the most of it, but fails. He accidentally lost his mother journal while he at an arcade, and he goes on a wild goose chase and retrieve the book back. Unfortunately, her book disintegrated, she was angry at first, but he done a favor for her since she realized the book she wrote had a very boring plot. Then she decided to write a new book about Lincoln, he was overjoyed and the two hug. After the girls got home, they saw them on roller skates being pulled by a horse, much to the girls astonishment.

In "Sleuth or Consequences", Dad and the girls (except Lucy) blamed him for clogging the toilet since he always have a habit of doing it a lot. But it turns out that it was Lucy who clog the toilet, and Lincoln takes blame for Lucy (to save her from being embarrassed) and gets grounded.

Clyde
Clyde is Lincoln's best friend and wingman and both have a good relationship. Clyde appears to be Lincoln's only male friend, as he is the only boy of his school class that tolerates his sisters' antics.

Clyde is very loyal to him and when Lincoln gets a plan, he is always prepared to help him. They usually hang out in other places or just spend time with Lincoln's sisters. The only thing that annoys Lincoln from Clyde is his obsession with his sister Lori. In "Changing the Baby", Clyde feels sad after thinking Lincoln has replaced him with Lily, but at the end Lincoln says him that he won't be replaced because he is his best friend. He also came with him to SMOOCH concert in "For Bros About to Rock".

Although the Loud sisters can get in the way, Lincoln and Clyde love watching TV together, as seen in "Left in the Dark" and "Cover Girls". It is shown in "Sleuth or Consequences" that the two boys like to cosplay as Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack together.

Howard and Harold
Lincoln has a good relationship with Clyde's dads. He admires the amount of time they spend helping Clyde and somewhat envies the amount of attention they give their son. In "Attention Deficit", Howard and Harold try to help Lincoln with his school project. Lincoln's sisters end up hogging their attention, but Lincoln is not mad at them.

Lincoln normally addresses both Howard and Harold as Mr. McBride. He has also called Howard "Mr. McB."

Ronnie Anne
Ronnie Anne is Lincoln's current girlfriend. He is initially bothered by her bullying him in "Heavy Meddle", but after she sends a note apologizing to him, Lincoln begins to see that she may not be such a bad person after all.

In "Save the Date", Lincoln tells a few kids at school that he would rather lick the bathroom floor than kiss Ronnie, but only to hide their relationship. Unfortunately, Ronnie overhears him saying this and is heartbroken about it, which makes Bobby break up with Lori. Lori then forces Lincoln to make it up to Ronnie and fix her relationship by going on a double date with Bobby and Ronnie Anne. While Ronnie is still mad at him at first, she understands his conflict with Lori, stating that she has similar problems with Bobby. Near the end, Lincoln kisses her in front of his classmates. The next day, Ronnie once again hides their relationship by slapping him in the face and seemingly breaking up with him, which she soon reveals to be fake via note. It is believed that they are on really good terms.

In "Dance Dance Resolution", Lincoln ducks from Ronnie Anne to ensure she doesn't ask him to the Sadie Hawkin's Dance, not because he doesn't like her, but rather because he wanted to go to the arcade instead. When Luan, Lucy, Lynn, and Luna each get him a date to the dance, and he sees Ronnie Anne is at the dance as well, he tries to avoid her because he feels he will hurt her feelings if she finds out he went to the dance without her. When she finds him, she states that she actually never wanted to ask him to the dance but rather to go to the arcade with her. Upon learning he was avoiding her all day, she forgives him, she admitting she would've done the same if he were to ask her to a dance. The two are then seen together at the arcade, playing Dance Battle.

In "April Fool's Rules" Ronnie Anne is coming over on April Fool's Day, the day Luan becomes a pranking monster and sets up cruel pranks around the house. To protect her, Lincoln sacrifices himself and ends up setting off all the pranks, causing severe injury to himself. Ronnie Anne then comes to the house and throws a pie at Luan and offers to draw eyebrows on Lincoln and invites him for a milkshake, saying she was grateful for him protecting her from Luan's pranks and the two head on their way.

Bobby
Lincoln is related with Bobby as shown in the Loud House episode "A Fair to Remember". After Lori tells Bobby to hang with Lincoln instead of her. At the end of the day, Lincoln and Bobby became friends.

Agnes
Lincoln is one of Agnes's most dedicated students. Whenever she gives him an assignment, he does his best to follow through with it rather than slack off and procrastinate like most kids, even if at times, it doesn't work out.

In "Project Loud House", she originally planned to give Lincoln an "A" on his report about his sisters, but thanks to Luan's bucket prank, she downgraded it to an "A-".

In "The Green House", she, along with the rest of the class, disciplines Lincoln for not being able to save enough energy to help them win a contest to name a polar bear, which cannot be helped because of his big family. However, when he finally manages to do his part, she congratulates him for leading them to victory.

In "Along Came a Sister", she chooses him to take the class tarantula Frank home for the weekend, showing she can trust him.

In "Lincoln Loud: Girl Guru", she is not pleased with his girl advice business but enjoys his pie throwing one.

In "Dance, Dance Resolution", she holds a raffle where the winner has lunch with her in the teacher's lounge, and he wins that prize. She also unknowingly bumps him with her butt when he's trying to avoid Ronnie Anne.
