Ned is a minor character in Amphibia and the main protagonist in the episode "Thai Feud". He is Thai Go's biggest fan and delivery guy.
Background[]
Ned is a long-time patron of the Boonchuy family's Thai Go restaurant, being their No. 1 fan and regular customer for years, as Anne explained.[1]
He was annoying to Mrs. Boonchuy for weeks before Anne and the Plantars teleported from Amphibia, wanting to know the family's secret recipe so he could use his food truck to promote her restaurant, which would increase their profits.[1]
On that night, Sprig and Anne took away Ned's food truck, which later damaged it quite badly. In the end, Mrs. Boonchuy still wouldn't let Ned know the recipe. However, she would hire him as the restaurant's delivery guy, so he joyfully accepted this job offer and drove off in his damaged food truck.[1]
Personality[]
Ned can be a little annoying towards Mrs. Boonchuy, but he is a friendly person who wants to help others in any way he can, even if his help might be unwanted. This is exemplified by his desire to help out at the Thai Go, despite being told that he isn't necessarily needed.
