About
My Old Character. Part of Her Deal Is She’s an Unchill Gal That Highkey Gives a Fuck, also known as the My Old Character meme, refers to an opposite version of the My New Character meme who's depicted as a blue, female dog with a human body, wearing a grey sweater, red pants and blue shoes, frowning with her hands in her pockets. She's not chill compared to her counterpart. My Old Character was created by Twitter / X user philb (@PhillipBankss) who also posted it on Instagram and TikTok in 2024. After the virality of the My New Character meme on TikTok in August and September 2024, users spread My Old Character as well, often powerscaling the two or making fancam edits.
