Added DiffLines:

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:In one episode, during a conversation with Zebulon, she shows a surprising amount of knowledge about agriculture, which turns out to come from working with it on the ship with which she traveled]].
* MoneyDumb: She doesn't have a good grasp of things like money and monetary value, giving away a solid gold bar and later a massive diamond from the surface of Mercury to thank people. Admittedly, with her powers and nomadic way of life, she herself doesn't have much need for money.

A brilliant, but acerbic theoretical physicist, she has been traveling with the diner for a while after identifying it, figuring out a mathematical formula that allowed her to predict its signature appearance, and entering it in New Brunswick, New Jersey in 2018.


Added DiffLines:

* IntriguedByHumanity: Subverted; he speaks fluent English and has great knowledge of Earth's history and culture, but it's only because he was assigned and trained as an Earth expert when he was young, as is typical for how the Teds assign careers to its members. He thoroughly ''hates'' having to know all this and thinks humans are a backwater species. The few things on Earth of which he speaks positively includes some music and the Amazon rain forest; the fact that it's being cut down for fuel is another point on the list of things that makes him dislike the planet.

to:

->'''Voiced by:''' Bob Benjamin Burdick
An agent of the Ted Empire who seeks to track down and capture the diner for it.
----
* ArcVillain: As a representative of the Ted Empire, he served as the de facto villain of Season 2.
* MouthOfSauron: He is the most prominent member of the Ted Empire we meet and voices its ideology and way of life.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Despite knowing that Casper has a son, he never brings it up or tries to use it when he interrogates Casper even though it would probably have simplified things considerably. When asked why, he says he wasn't able to get a reproduction permit from the Ted Empire and felt bad for Casper]].
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:After his defeat in Season 2, Casper allows him to leave and forge a future for himself free outside of the Ted Empire's system]].
* RaceNameBasis: "Ted" is actually the name of his alien race. Because it also happens to be a first name on Earth, Casper takes to calling him "Ted"; we never learn his real name.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: [[spoiler:After his initial failure to capture Ava and losing Casper when his ship is raided by the Ex, he gets stuck doing planetary surveying. When an opportunity arises, he uses some leverage to get his old job and mission back]].
* WideEyedIdealist: He is a firm believer in the Teds' capitalistic monopoly on space travel and expansionist way of doing business, [[spoiler:but this falters after he sees firsthand how rife with corruption their system is and he starts to question its validity]].

A strange woman who is powerful enough to travel between universes and twist reality without any technology.
----
* ArcVillain: Of Season 3.
* AntiVillain: As careless as she is and however much damage she causes, her goal is to undo the destruction of her home civilization.
* RealityWarper: She is powerful enough to do serious damage to reality, at one point [[spoiler:smushing two separate, but similar universes together into one]].

Added DiffLines:

!!Main cast
!!!Casper Scott
->'''Voiced by:''' Joe Fisher
The diner's de facto manager who has been traveling with it longer than the others.
----
* TheEeyore: Casper's ability to be miserable and depressed in just about any situation is one of his superpowers. The gang actually weaponizes it in one episode where Casper tries to talk a conquering space pirate out of taking control over three galaxies by pointing out all the pain-in-the-ass organizational and logistical work they'd have to do to actually run their new territories. It doesn't work, but they do seem pretty put out by it.
* JerkAss: Casper can be a real asshole at his worst, though this is mainly in the past -- he is 178 years old, after all, and he's mellowed a bit. He was apparently quite terrible in his younger days, and what we hear of him during his time at the Department of Motor Vehicles certainly makes him sound like a miserable jerk.
* Really700YearsOld: Thanks to the way time doesn't run as normal in the diner, he has lived long enough to become over 170 years old while traveling with it.

!!!Gloria Juana Belén Gutiérrez de Mendoza
->'''Voiced by:''' Siouxsie Suarez
A former taqueria owner from Phoenix, Arizona who comes to the diner to apply for a waitress job, but ends up joining the diner as a group member.
----
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Her parents died in a car accident when she was 18. Since she also apparently has no particularly close friends, there's nothing stopping her from hopping on the diner as it travels the multiverse.
* TeamChef: Gloria used to run her own taqueria and is quite an excellent cook. Casper, on the other hand, is a terrible cook, and Leif is only a little bit better. The diner's food gets much better once Gloria takes over in the kitchen.
!!!Dr. Ava Maddox
->'''Voiced by:''' Finlay Stevenson
A brilliant, but acerbic theoretical physicist, she has been traveling with the diner for a while after identifying its signature and entering it in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
----
* AbsentMindedProfessor: Ava shows signs of this at times -- she once described her eating habits during her time on Earth as going home, getting caught up in work, completely forgetting about food, then ordering takeout from the local Thai place once she realized she was actually hungry. Her friend Marguerite was even worse.
* BrilliantButLazy: Ava is quite genuinely one of the smartest people in the universe. She also has absolutely no interest in helping with any aspect of the diner's operations. Her friends are stunned when she actually brings food to the table at the Mucklewain house.
* HiddenDepths: Season 3's "Your Mom" reveals that she is a very skilled piano player because her mother, who wanted her to be a performer like her, made her learn.

!!!Leif
->'''Voiced by:''' Tom Moorman
The diner's fry cook (and main cook before Gloria joins the group) who has a colorful past as a brilliant engineer and a space-traveling rogue.
----
* LovableRogue: He has a very casual relationship to the law and used to work for space pirates.

!!!Effie and Zebulon Mucklewain
->'''Voiced by:''' Neal Starbird (Zebulon), Julie Cowden-Starbird (Effie)
A pair of preachers supposedly based in Toad Suck, Arkansas who nevertheless somehow speak out of an old radio in the diner.
----
* HappilyMarried: They have been together since they were children and are still very much in love.
