Ari Goodwyn
Debut: Goosebumps Slappyworld #9: Revenge of the Invisible Boy
A member of the Magic Club at Frankie's school, who would rather fool around than make any serious effort to learn stage conjuring.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: The other club members don't like Ari, but they're forced to let him stay because he's the only one who has enough space at home for them to rehearse in.
- Hate Sink: His entire character is based around being an obnoxious, smug jerk.
- Jerkass: Especially to Frankie, and he has very few redeeming qualities.
- Little Mr Snarker: He is constantly sassy and sarcastic.
- The Slacker: He is incredibly lazy and unmotivated about basically everything other than making fun of Frankie.
- The Team Benefactor: He has a huge basement for the club members to rehearse in, and a mother who provides delicious snacks.
- Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: He is only around 11-12 years old (the typical age of Goosebumps characters) but pulls several quite nasty tricks that risk seriously injuring Frankie.
- With Friends Like These...: Claims to be Frankie's friend yet constantly pranks and humiliates him.
