'''Kermit''' is a character appearing in ''[[Tails Gets Trolled]]''. He is a member of [[The Defenders]] who joined after [[trolling]] his friends, and attempts to train [[Tails]] in the art of patience.

==History==
===To Troll a Troll===
Prior to joining [[The Defenders]], Kermit and his friends were invited to join a troll party after becoming well known to the world. At the party, he and his friends played games and got along with the other party-goers until they began to get trolled. Oblivious to the acts of trolling, Kermit and his friends mostly ignored the insults but some members began to take interest in trolling.

As noted by himself, at the time, Kermit did not truly understand the impact trolling can have on others, referring to it as "fun and games" between each other. Some members of Kermit's group began to develop a liking for trolling and began trolling chat rooms on "pal talk". Eventually Kermit (and pals) hit the point where they sought out tougher victims to troll in order to test the limits of their abilities.

Some time later, a troll suggests to Kermit that the best challenge for a troll is to troll another troll. Kermit and his friends began to turn on each other, trolling one another resulting in a large troll battle between everyone of the group. The trolling continued until the weaker members began to drop, either by committing suicide or being mind broken beyond repair, eventually leaving Kermit, Animal, and Miss Piggy. Kermit ultimately uses Miss Piggy's care for him to completely break her mentally, to the point where she had to be locked away according to himself, leaving Kermit and Animal.

Animal used Kermit's guilt over destroying Miss Piggy to troll him, causing Kermit to become "vary unstable". Rather than retaliate, Kermit taught himself patience and found a way to get back at Animal for good (leaving him as "no more") before hunting the original troll who turned everyone against each other, eventually destroying him. After some time alone, [[Pacman]] eventually appears to help Kermit regain control of his life, leading to the frog joining the Defenders.

===The Art of Patience===
After Tails finishes training with [[Hello Kitty]], he moves on to Kermit who attempts to pass on his skills of patience and how to focus better. Unwilling to listen, Tails pays no attention to Kermit's long backstory and moves on to train with [[Spyro]]. The next day, he and Hello Kitty appear to observe Tails' flight training with Spyro. Kermit notes that although Tails may become strong, he lacks mental fortitude and is concerned for the fox for when he gets into an encounter with a skilled troll. After Spyro and Tails conclude their training, Kermit informs Tails that Pacman has ordered for his training to be finished as soon as possible, so he quickly sends him to [[Cheeto Man]].

The next time Kermit is seen is after Tails finishes training with [[Ronald]] and Cheeto Man breaks up the two after getting into a fight. Kermit goes to inform Pacman about Ronald's attack and watches as the clown apologizes for his actions. Kermit then takes Ronald back to Tails to apologize, but Tails is unwilling to accept it. Ronald and Kermit then leave elsewhere.

Later, alone with Ronald, Kermit prepares to use the "Intellect Bond" as instructed by Pacman to help determine the source of Ronald's mental instability. He goes deep into Ronald's memories, eventually hitting the point where Ronald forces the Intellect Bond to break and leaving Kermit puzzled as to why he had reacted so badly.

==Personality==
Kermit is rather calm and reserved, not one to break easily under pressure. He reamins calm when he rushes in after Ronald attacks Tails, as well as when Ronald breaks the Intellect Bond.

He is also shown to be rather caring even if he does not outwardly express it towards others. He shows concern for whether or not Tails will be strong enough for when an actual troll appears. Kermit also shows great remorse over trolling his friends (Miss Piggy in particular) in the past.

==Abilities==
As described by himself, Kermit's main ability is patience. He notes himself to be more patient than others, and uses that to his advantage in order to stop Animal from breaking him mentally in the past. He also attempts to pass this on to Tails.

Kermit is also capable of using the "Intellect Bond Level One" as shown with Ronald. This allows him to peer deeply into the memories of the other person, provided that they remain calm. 

==Real Life Origins==
Kermit the Frog is originally from a group of puppets named ''The Muppets'' who would appear in various shows and movies.

===Differences===
Kermit in ''The Muppets'' does not possess the Intellect Bond and is not capable of reading other's memories telepathically.
