Sean Rafferty

"Let's be scientific about this - Sean"

Sean Rafferty is a main character and one of Jet's best friends in Ready Jet Go!.

In The Neptunians, he is the sargent of the team and gains earth manipulation powers, being the Earth Element.

Appearance
Sean is a young boy with fair skin and freckles. He has messy light brown hair, which, due to animation errors, can sometimes appear as blonde. Sean's regular outfit is a white shirt with a light green collar and sleeves. He wears blue jeans, and brown sneakers. Due to inconsistencies, his eye color is either grey, blue, or green (most commonly blue)

Personality
Sean, the son of a scientist, figures he’s going to grow up to be a great scientist himself and plans to lead the first mission to Mars. But he's afraid of heights, fears cramped spaces, and easily gets space-sick - things he's trying to overcome before he grows up and becomes an actual astronaut.

Sean’s the practical one, always insisting on doing things the old-fashioned way – even though he’s now suddenly hanging out in a very sci-fi reality with Jet! Sean’s a big fan of following the rules of the Scientific Method, which he sings about in his own song.

Sean is initially bad at using his imagination and afraid of going to space, but these lessen over time, such as in "Sean's Year In Space", where Sean pretends to spend a day (he originally intended it as a year) in space in the treehouse, and in "Not a Sound", where he actually suggests going to space to prove that there's no sound there. He sometimes even acknowledges it by calling himself "Mr. Adventure".

At times, Sean can be a bit of a perfectionist. The most defining example would be in Eye in the Sky, where he has a chart for every single situation he could possibly end up in.

Powers
Sean gets chosen to wield the Earth Element, and with it comes a variety of powers:
 * Terrakinesis: Sean can create, shape and manipulate earth and "earthen" elements including most solid objects, specifically all minerals and mineral compositions regardless of their state (mountain, boulder, sand or dust), dirt, soil, etc.
 * Chlorokinesis: Sean can create, shape and manipulate plants, including wood, vines, plants, moss, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, roots, fruits and flowers. The user can cause plants to grow, move/attack or even rise from the soil and "walk", mutate plants by rearranging DNA structure and revive withered or dead plants.
 * Enhanced Calculations: Sean could knock out the correct pillars to make sure the hub did not collapse until he wanted it to. He also mentions his ability to sense structural integrity

Trivia

 * Sean loves to use the Scientific Method to solve problems. He also tends to sing about it.
 * It is unknown where his father is; the only evidence proving he exists is a photograph spotted in Sean's Year in Space. He was mentioned by Sean in Night of a Bazillion Stars,
 * Sean is unathletic, as he was unable to do push-ups in "Sean's Year in Space". However, he did a perfect somersault in Back to Bortron 7.

He was also shown being motion-sick in Jet's Time Machine. In I Feel the Earth Move, he reveals that he also gets seasick, as boats make him queasy.
