History Characters / EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce

* RhymingNames: ''Deirdre'' Beau''beirdra'', very likely a reference to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Name_Game The Name Game]].
** Given the name syntax and the nature of the film, there really is no other explanation.

* TheAntiNihilist: Waymond, in contrast to his overtly nihilistic daughter. Appropriately, it is embracing his philosophy of finding joy in the small things even if nothing else matters that allows [[spoiler:Evelyn to combat [[StrawNihilist Jobu Tupaki]].]]

* CreateYourOwnVillain: Jobu is the end result of Alpha Evelyn being an AbusiveParent who pushed Alpha Joy too far into universe jumping. In a broader scope, she's the end result of Evelyn's general treatment of Joy in many universes, something Evelyn has to overcome to talk Jobu down.

* DiabolicalMastermind: She's the leader of a cult that worships the Everything Bagel she created.

->Played by: Creator/KeHuyQuan

Evelyn's affable husband who co-owns the laundromat alongside her. He loves Evelyn deeply, but wants a divorce to force her to deal with their strained relationship. His Alphaverse counterpart is on the frontlines of the fight against Jobu Tupaki, and uses his Protagonistverse body to make contact with Evelyn.

* {{Deuteragonist}}: The main universe's Waymond is just as vital to the plot as Evelyn, but almost everything he does is in the background. The Daniels stated they wanted a beta-male, someone who is active but always in a kind and loving manner, and we only get hints of Waymond's actions, until the climax, because we're focused on Evelyn (like Evelyn herself). However, Waymond is an active agent, striving to resolve conflict and bring about a positive resolution: he bakes cookies to placate Deirdre, he files for divorce to force Evelyn to confront their struggling relationship, he talks with Deirdre about the confrontation over the divorce papers to convince her to forgive Evelyn in the Return Home Universe, and he dives into the middle of a MeleeATrois kung fu gun fight to beg everyone to be kind.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:Alpha Waymond is killed by Jobu Tupaki while he's piloting "our" Waymond's body, and Evelyn holds him as he goes.]]
* TheGlassesComeOff: He takes off his glasses when Alpha Waymond jumps into his body, which coincides with several ass-kicking moments.

->Played by: Creator/StephanieHsu

Evelyn and Waymond's aimless daughter.

* {{Gayngst}}: Joy is secure in her sexuality, but hates that her mother isn't 100% accepting.
* IronicName: Joy is the most angst-driven character of the cast.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Even more than her father, Joy has no idea of the multiverse or the danger her mother is facing. This is because [[spoiler:Jobu Tupaki only takes her over twice, and the second time lasts the rest of the conflict, so by the time Joy could learn what's going on, it's already over]].
* MeaningfulName: Evelyn repeatedly refers to her as "my Joy". [[spoiler:After Evelyn finally accepts Joy for who she is, Joy begins to smile more often.]]
* PsychoLesbian: Thoroughly mocked. Evelyn seems to think that Joy only "thinks she's gay" because [[spoiler:Joy is being possessed by Jobu Tupaki. Jobu reacts with utter ''exasperation'' that the main Evelyn is still hung up about it, and Jobu's evil has absolutely nothing to do with her sexuality. She implies that, if she's not gay in every universe, she definitely is in ''many'' of them, but it wasn't being gay that made Alpha Evelyn push her so hard that her mind splintered.]] Ultimately, Evelyn's paranoia [[spoiler:about Jobu is just a symptom of her internalized homophobia, and after her CharacterDevelopment, she realizes that Joy is just a lesbian after accepting she can't and shouldn't control Joy's life.]]
* YouAreFat: Often on the receiving end of this from her mother.

->Played by: Creator/JamesHong

Evelyn's elderly father, who has recently arrived from China.
----

* SpannerIntheWorks: Protagonist Waymond ends up being the key to saving everyone because of how he begs everyone to just "be kind".

* AndIMustScream: A barrage showing her existence confirms she lives like this. One notable element is her as an axe murderer engaging in a slaughter in some kind of prison riot, at the same time she's a mother shopping in a grocery store from her perspective. The horror, the mundanity, every facet of life at its very worst is happening to her ''all at once, forever''
* AntagonisticOffspring: Zigzagged. Alphaverse Waymond and Gong Gong (Joy's father and grandfather) are actively trying to stop Alphaverse Joy/Jobu Tupaki from destroying other universes, and Waymond recruits a version of Evelyn (his wife and Joy's mother) to this end. Then, Jobu Tupaki shows Evelyn that she doesn't want to destroy the multiverse but [[DeathSeeker kill herself instead]], and wanted a version of Evelyn who was so disillusioned with her life that she would understand Jobu's suffering. The climax is about Evelyn emotionally reconnecting and reconciling with Joy in multiple universes, and doing so saves the day in the end.

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Evelyn and Joy have the ability to experience every moment of every life in every multiverse, allowing them to break reality and access all the abilities of their alternate selves. Waymond just loves his wife. Always. And his love and wanting to "be kind" when things fall apart at the seams, not reality-warping superpowers, is what saves them all.

* SpannerIntheWorks: Waymond ends up being the key to saving everyone because of how he begs everyone to just "be kind".

* SelfMadeOrphan: Alphaverse Evelyn died fighting her, and one of Jobu's first onscreen acts is to kill Evelyn in the "burner" universe, then later murders Alpha Waymond. Ultimately, however, Jobu confesses to Evelyin that she didn't hunt down Evelyn just to kill her - she wanted to find one version that ''understood her''.
