Personality
Cabbage and Stark are cruel and aggressive bullies who pick on others, finding pleasure in the distress of their victims. They enjoy seeing Erina cry, laughing and cheering amongst themselves while mocking her. Their motives for harassing Erina and Jonathan are simply because the two are from wealthy families. Cabbage hates rich people, but admits that he has no particular reason as to why.[1] Cabbage and Stark's resentment for the rich leads them to admire Dio Brando, showing that they are inclined to follow a leader who is stronger and more assertive than them.[2]
Wanting to be like Dio
They lack empathy and display a pack mentality, ganging up on a single individual and using their numerical advantage to bully and overpower their target. They are also perverse, wanting to strip Erina's doll to see what it looks like under the dress.[1] Additionally, they are thrilled to see Dio assault Erina with a forced kiss, wishing they could be like him.[2]
Cabbage states that he hates guys who try to look cool in front of girls. Stark doesn't speak much aside from pointing out that Jonathan is a pushover, but he follows whatever Cabbage does.[1]
Cabbage and Stark are a pair of young teenagers who bully Erina Pendleton, with one of them stealing her doll. Cabbage wonders if Erina got it from her father, who he refers to as a quack doctor. When they're about to rip off the clothes from the doll, Jonathan Joestar intervenes, headbutting Cabbage and repeatedly punching his stomach. Cabbage withstands the blows and knocks Jonathan to the ground by slamming his fists on the boy's back. As Cabbage and Stark mock him for getting beaten while trying to help her, they recognize Jonathan as George Joestar's son. Cabbage declares that he hates rich people, and the two of them proceed to beat up Jonathan by kicking him on the ground before walking off.[1]
Cabbage and Stark watch Jonathan and Dio Brando's boxing match alongside a group of other teenagers. Impressed over Dio's victory, Cabbage asks Dio how he managed to do that. Dio claims that it's a new defensive boxing technique and that he'll teach it to all of them.[3]
The two later appear as associates of Dio and witness him forcefully kissing Erina.[4] Cabbage expresses his admiration for Dio's bold move. He also thinks that Erina is crazy, seeing her wash her mouth with muddy water rather than using water from the nearby river. Insulted, Dio pushes them away and slaps Erina, which surprises the pair. They leave together with Dio afterwards.
Some time later, Cabbage, Stark, and two more of their friends greet Jonathan by pelting rocks at him, laughing at his expense and informing him what Dio did to Erina. Angered by this revelation, Jonathan runs back to the manor to confront Dio.[2]
That's our Dio! He does the stuff we're too chicken to do! He's my idol! I want to be like him! (さすがディオ! おれたちにできない事を平然とやってのけるッ! そこにシビれる!あこがれるゥ!, Sasuga Dio! Oretachi ni dekinai koto o heizento yattenokeru! Soko ni shibireru! Akogarerū!)
The bullies appear as enemies in the first fight of the Phantom Blood PS2 game, facing off against a young Jonathan. In addition, they are playable for two fights in Extra Battle Mode.
