Broom

First seen in the episode “Into Etheria”

Broom is Madame Razz’s flying companion and joins her on every mission.

Broom and Madame obviously have a history, but that history is rarely touched upon.

From the evidence in certain episodes, it would appear that Madame hasn’t always been with Broom, while Broom has had experiences away from his magical friend too.

For example, Razz’s on-off relationship with Frit was news to Broom [30], just as he had heard that Ahgo had seen the Crystal Castle, which Madame was oblivious to. [22]

Broom is a magical being, evidenced once when he joined forces with Queen Angella, Glimmer and Madame Razz to magically defend Castle Bright Moon.

Broom’s speed was often of use to the Rebellion, allowing him to escape the firepower of Hordak’s Troopers [33], zip in to catch Madame Razz from a great fall [69], and evade capture by the Monstroids while carrying not one, but two passengers. [75]

However, his flying, alongside Madame’s navigation, has also caused comedic set-backs.

He has crashed into trees and bushes multiple times, but also Sea Hawk [16], a random dinosaur [44], and had a narrow escape with the vicious Vultak. [74]

Like Bow and Kowl, Broom and Madame Razz have a tempestuous relationship.

More often than not, Broom will find something to disagree with Madame over [24, 53, 64] and vice-versa.

He also likes to have a sly dig at her age [20, 44], but always has her best interests at heart – examples include fixing her up for a date with Frit [30], challenging Kowl in Madame’s defense [43] and advising her to ‘hold on tightly’ when flying! [70]

He also has a habit of correcting his mistress’ magical mistakes and gets them right more often than not. [06, 20, 48]

Broom was possibly one of the campest characters of the series, something that made his comedy all the more unique.

From crying endlessly with Madame at Angella’s return to Bright Moon [04], to dancing his way through a dusty pile of old books [20], and virtually strutting arm in arm with Kowl to find an old wizard [53], Broom’s unintentional theatrics are a welcome, if unexpected, addition to the show.
