!!Sidney Yus
A former employee of Shortpacked, laid of by Galasso during a lean economic period. She took it poorly, swearing revenge on them, and eventually forming the Axis of Something to do just that. When that didn't work, she instead decided to take Robin's place in congress to shut down Shortpacked. That didn't work either.
* BigBad: She's the closest thing Shortpacked has to one, at any rate.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Amber had actually fudged the numbers on who was selling the most customer protection rackets to protect Ethan.
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Taking Robin's place in congress succeeded, but immediately learned that she lacked the ability to do anything to them while there, keeping her out of the way for some time.
* LargeHam
* LaughingMad: On "infiltrating" her way back into Shortpacked, she reacts to getting hired by running around, cackling insanely.
* PokeThePoodle: Her schemes are to ultimately shut down a toy store.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Blatantly done when she's introduced. Galasso declares he's going to fire someone, and he fires... a character we've never seen before.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Weaponized, and how, during her election campaign. "I believe Congresswoman De Santo when she says she's not a werewolf..."
!!Thad
A fanboy, like Ethan, who he strikes up a friendship with. Briefly became the target of one of Robin's ludicrous plans to force the two to bang. Then it turned out he was dating Evan, Ethan's [=McAwesomes=] counterpart.
* MeaningfulName: Subverted, his second name is not "Guy".
* OnlySaneMan: Slightly smarter than the Shortpacked crew, and he tries bringing up Robin's past as a war hero.
* PutOnABus: He basically disappeared after it turned out he was dating Evan, not reappearing for ''years''.

Amber, initially, was shy, awkward and suffering from a serious inferiority complex, but has grown over the course of the comic into a strong and confident character with arguably the fewest quirks of the cast save for a mild sadistic streak. Her main nerdish tendencies are towards ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', ''MyLittlePony'' and manga, with the latter being far less pronounced than the two former. She also has a sort of superhero character of her own design, Amazi-Girl, whom she dresses as occasionally (and tends to get a MomentOfAwesome when she does.) She left to manage a new Shortpacked store in Denver, funded by Joe Rosenthal.
