Personality
Ty is Rocky's hip, sarcastic older brother who is popular at school, loves to dance, and knows how to charm the girls. He is seen as a very cheerful and sociable guy, and always seems to have a date. Being raised with his sister, he is also logical and smart, especially when it comes to his money. He has been known to be saving up for a car, and he gets a job at Crusty's. His personality shone through most in "Split It Up" when he rapped about things like cheap haircuts, and had to consult Deuce and Flynn to up his bad boy image. By the end of the episode, he had helped an elderly woman retrieve her purse from a robber and delivered a baby panda at the zoo, calling the process "beautiful". Although Ty hasn't claimed to have any girlfriends, he has went on a date with Tinka, but nothing further has been showed about their relationship. It is revealed in "Weird It Up" that his relationships don't last because he blows girls off when the relationship gets too clingy.
