[[folder:Roger]]
!!Roger Peralta
->'''Portrayed By:''' Bradley Whitford

Jake's father who abandoned him and his mother when he was a kid.
----
* DisappearedDad: Left Jake and his mom when he was a kid.
* HeelRealization: In "Karen Peralta", he claims that TheReasonYouSuckSpeech that Jake delivered to him in his previous appearance has been a catalyst for him to try and change his ways. Whether it'll stick is anyone's guess.
* MeaningfulName: A serial adulterer and ladies' man called [[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rogering Roger]].

* YourCheatingHeart: Roger was a womanizer and was damn proud of it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Karen]]
!!Karen Peralta
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/KateySagal

Jake's mother, who raised him mostly single-handed after his father left them.
----
* GranolaGirl: She makes a living teaching elementary school art and seems to have a more hippy-ish outlook on life than her son or ex-husband. Her fashion sense and the decor around her home point to these tendencies, too.
* NiceGirl: She's shown to be a kind, loving, basically well-balanced person whose only possible failing is [[spoiler:deciding to take back her cheating ex]]; not to mention a rare example of the single mother archetype in a workplace sitcom, in that she raised her son alone without falling into MyBelovedSmother territory, and Jake neither turned out badly nor resented her for it.
* ParentalNeglect: A downplayed and justified example, since the main reason she wasn't able to spend more time with Jake was because she had to work a lot more in order to support them as a single mother. While this did arguably contribute in part to Jake's issues as a grown-up, unlike with Roger it's made clear that Jake understands the situation and holds no ill-will to his mother for it.
* {{Retcon}}: A possible example. Jake initially described his mother as a waitress who struggled to support them (leading to his hatred of Thanksgiving, due to her always working during the holiday). When she actually appears on screen, she's become a bohemian elementary school art teacher who lives in a decent-sized house and enjoys small luxuries. However, in the earlier episode Jake also notes that his mother had to work "more" to support them, so it's possible that waitressing was a second job on top of teaching.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Jake is understandably ''appalled'' when she gets back together with Roger, despite him having walked out on them, done nothing to help raise his son, cheated on her ''countless'' times, and being an all-around unlikable slimeball. Even ''she'' acknowledges that she really has no room to judge anyone, since she's dating Roger despite knowing full well what kind of person he is.

* BirdsOfAFeather: With Holt. Though apparently they consider themselves quite different, with Kevin insisting that Ray is "the funny one" in the relationship, much to everyone else's bewilderment.
* HappilyMarried: While its sometimes a bit hard to see due to how little they express any kind of emotion, even with each other, they are a legitimately happy couple who have been together for years and clearly deeply love each other.
* OnlySaneMan: When Holt tells him Rosa's plan to break up with Marcus, he calls them both sociopaths. He may be TheStoic, but he has more of an understanding of human emotion than his husband and Rosa.
* PutOnABus: He spends most of Season 3 taking a research sabbatical in Paris.
