Personality
Growing up, Mugman was a sensitive crybaby and extremely dependent, especially on his brother and grandfather, perhaps even more dependent on Cuphead than anyone else, considering how his brother is always there for him. He was extremely insecure as a child, as he couldn't understand why some people didn't like him, but deep down, he knew it was because of living in his brother's shadow. Because of this, he always tried to please people, sometimes even going a little too far, and risking a little too much. Once, he even risked almost losing Cuphead, by trying to be better than him so people would like him more, in which he succeeded, but nearly lost his best friend. Once his brother opened his eyes to the fact that not everybody needs to love him, he stopped trying to impress people and only cared about what his brother thought of him from now on. However, Mugs still looked up to Cups as his idol for many years, as he still thought he could never reach his brother's level.
Now that Mugman is older, he is still quite dependent, but not as much of a sensitive crybaby anymore, at least, not like he used to be. Mugs now knows that him and Cuphead are on the same pedestal, but at times feels bad because he feels he's a heavy load on Cuphead's shoulders which holds him back. Despite Cup's protests, Mug feels now and then that he's not strong enough, and that he's too weak to be Cuphead's brother and that Cup would be better off without him. But this feeling quickly passes once he remembers how much Cuphead means to him, vice versa. Even though Cups is older than Mug, Mugman easily sees his brother's immaturity and recklessness, and sometimes wonders, with a roll of his eyes and a smirk, why he isn't the older one and why Cup isn't the kid brother. Despite that thought process, Mug is fully aware to how much of a good job Cuphead does when it comes to being the big brother, and is extremely grateful that he has a brother like him, therefore he, at most times, quite easily pushes away Cup's flaws and keeps in mind that his brother has always been there for him since day one.
Mugs is also very careful and cautious, especially with Cuphead. Mug is always the one to keep Cup out of trouble, as he fears Cup's rash decisions may lead to unbearable consequences, for ex. the incident with the devil that brought on the infamous bet. Even now, Mugman is very protective of Cuphead. After the saga with the debtors due to the bet with the devil, and seeing his brother get hurt many times, sometimes even almost die, Mugs gets scared easily when Cup makes rash and stupid choices, and immediately jumps in and helps, as he's terrified that he may lose his brother if he doesn't.
Mugman is an extremely loving boy, and he would sacrifice anything, including his life, to keep his loved ones safe at all times.
Fun Facts
-When Mugman isn't with Cuphead, playing with his brother, he is usually at home reading a book, drawing, or getting the food on for dinner that night
-Even though his grandfather is amazing, Mugs is the bestcook that there is in the family, and his grandfather, brother, and everyone else loves his cooking, but Cuphead is the one who loves it the most
-Despite the fact that Mugs is pretty overprotective with Cuphead and his decisions, he once in a while stays laid-back as long as Cup's stunts are not too rash, and joins in on the fun
-During rainy days, Mug spends his time inside with Cuphead, playing games with his brother, talking with him, or watching TV with him. When, at one point, Mug gets sleepy, he snuggles up against Cuphead, resting his head against Cup's chest, using it as his pillow, and falls asleep peacefully with his arms wrapped tightly and protectively around his brother
-When it comes to girls, Mugman gets easily flustered, shy, scared and nervous. However, it doesn't last for long because he knows that he can always count on Cups to help him out

Personality
When Cuphead was little, he was an extremely daring boy, and he always dragged his brother along to do crazy things all the time. Cups was extremely laid back for the most part, and didn't get bothered that easily. He tended not to worry about things to often, no matter the situation, as he knew that things would eventually work themselves out on their own. Cups never really saw himself as the "stronger" brother between him and Mugman, as he always felt like they were on the same page, regardless of what other people say. Cup barely cried at all when he was a kid, even when he got bad chips and cracks when he fell down, he refused to shed a tear, no matter how badly the chip or crack ached. Cup could never truly understand why Mug wanted people to like him, as he personally thought him and his grandfather loving Mugs was enough. He got angry easily when he heard about how concerned Mug was about other kids loving him, resulting in him and his brother getting into a couple of fights. However, once Cups found out the reason why Mugman cared so much, which was because he was being bullied, Cups not only felt bad, but was infuriated. Cup immediately put an end to Mug's bullying, swearing that if he ever caught the jerks treating his brother like that again, he would hunt them down, and make the bullies regret ever meeting him. After the bullying incident, Cup was sure to stay by Mug's side at all times and protect him, which resulted in their bond with each other growing, therefore they became extremely close, becoming best friends.
Since Cups is older now, his recklessness has not decreased, but instead increased. Cup enjoys performing his stunts and messing around more than ever before, and ignores his grandfather and brother when they tell him, "Cuphead! When are you gonna grow out of this stage already!?", to which Cup replies, "It ain't no stage. It's just me. And why would I want ta change anyways? It's too much fun!", throwing in a teasing smirk and a goofy grin. Which is correct, Cuphead is not going through a "stage", it's just Cuphead being normal, charming, emptyheaded yet fun loving Cuphead. Cups is a huge risk taker, and sometimes he takes it way too far, resulting in his brother being worried sick and scared for him. Most times, Cup aims to think about his actions before he performs them, as he knows how overprotective Mug can get, and one of the things that he hates the most is scaring or worrying his brother. One of Cup's top priorities is to keep his brother safe at all times, which he is successful in. Despite the rough exterior Cup puts on, he can get hurt easily, but that's mainly with Mugman whenever they get into fights or arguments with each other. Cuphead doesn't stay mad at his brother long, for he is the one who usually apologizes first. Usually when arguments happens, Cup gets out for a while to cool off, but doesn't wander too far, mainly because one time he wandered too far and got lost, and once his grandfather and brother found him after 5 hours, Mug was basically in tears, and before the red cup knew it, Mugman was basically in his arms, sobbing and shaking while calling him a moron and dumb idiot, and telling him to never do that again.
Cuphead's pretty overprotective of Mugman, and likes to make sure that he doesn't get hurt too much. The older boy, at times, feels like Mugs can go a little too far when it comes to being protective in return, but swiftly remembers that there were more times where Mugs almost lost Cups, more times then where Cup almost lost Mug. Originally, Cup didn't want Mug getting involved in the bet that he made with the devil, because he didn't want his brother to get hurt or die because of him, and they got into a fight to the point where he made Mug cry, and Cups slowly let his guard down once he heard his brother explain in sobs how much it means to him that he goes, and how Mug would never be able to forgive himself if something ever happened to Cups. After the saga with the devil, Cup tries his hardest to not be as reckless, at least to the point where they'll never get near that casino again.
Cuphead has an undying love for his little brother, and does everything that he can to keep him safe. Even if it means he gets hurt in the process, all that matters to Cups is that Mug is happy.
