A [[AnimateInanimateObject balloon with a face drawn on it]] and a sickeningly nice person. He's [[InterspeciesRomance romantically interested]] in Carmen, which has rather obvious problems.
----
[[hardline]]
* AllBalloonsHaveHelium: He can be re-inflated with a person's breath but still keep floating afterward.
* ApologizesALot: In "The Voice" he even apologizes for making someone feel they need to apologize, and continues to apologize until Gumball pops him to make him stop.
* BerserkButton: Gumball finally managed to find something that irritated Alan in "The Saint": the sound people make when they drag their feet on linoleum. [[spoiler:Actually, that was just a lie just so Gumball would feel better.]]
* {{Bishonen}}: His face looks a LOT different in photos than it does in real life. His ''[[BeautyMark mole]]'' is even beautiful.
--> '''Gumball:''' (Trying to blow Alan away) It's bad enough-[blow]-that you're a million times prettier than I am!-[blow]-I don't need you to rub it in my face-[blow]-on how mature and deep you are! [blow]
* BizarreAlienBiology: Gumball refers to him as a "biological mystery" when he couldn't tell Alan was crying, but Alan explains:
-->'''Alan:''' Air comes in the knot, air comes out the knot.\\
'''Gumball:''' Hmm, hmm... What about the spaghetti, though?\\
'''Alan:''' Spaghetti goes in, [[NoConservationOfEnergy turns into air]], comes back out.\\
'''Gumball:''' (beat) [[ToiletHumor So technically you weren't only crying just now.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his few speaking appearances in the first season, he didn't seem particularly nice to anyone.
* FatalAttraction: Alan and Carmen are passionately in love with one another, but because Alan is a balloon and Carmen is a cactus, their relationship is impossible.
* FlyingFace: Alan is just a balloon with a face drawn on it. His lack of limbs is a frequent frustration of his.
* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Gumball does a bunch of horrible things to Alan in "The Saint" (including framing him for cheating on Carmen and having his parents [[ItMakesSenseInContext tortured by a clown]]) all for the sake of trying to upset. Alan doesn't ''just'' [[TurnTheOtherCheek forgive him immediately]], he views them in such a ridiculously optimistic way as to believe Gumball never did anything bad.
* HeliumSpeech: Justified, as he's a [[AnimateInanimateObject balloon]].
* IncorruptiblePurePureness[=/=]ParodySue: Is ludicrously good and perfect - a PuritySue parody. Gumball spent an entire episode ("The Saint") trying to make him angry. [[spoiler:He completely failed.]]
* InterspeciesRomance: Alan (male balloon) is madly in love with Carmen (female cactus).
* NiceGuy: So nice, that it makes Gumball (and everyone else) ''sick''.
* NotSoAboveItAll: In "The Storm," after Gumball interrupts his speech to Masami for the third time in a row, he breaks his usual behavior to tell him '''''"Just shut-up, O.K.!!!"''''' Alan was also seen as one of the members of Mr. Small's apocalyptic tribe about to cannibalize The Wattersons in "The Pizza."
* RunningGag: He has no hands!
* SickeninglySweethearts: In "The Storm", he is sickeningly sweet with Carmen, much to their classmates' disgust.
* SkintoneSclerae: As his face is drawn on only in black, his eyes lack any coloration, fitting this trope as much as you can consider any of his body to be "skin".
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: While he's a boy, [[InvertedTrope he has obvious eyelashes that makes him appear to be a girl]].
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: He's been popped on multiple occasions.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: He wears only shoes.
* AnimalsHateHim: Ducks and other birds don't hate him, but they do find him ''delicious''.
* BlackBeadEyes
* {{Cephalothorax}}
* TheChewToy: Dies frequently, sometimes by literally being chewed on.
* TheDitz: He was one of the contestants in the dumb race and thought a mirror could talk. It's possible some or all of Anton's memories don't pass on to the next clone when he dies, and thus he can't learn anything because he's always dying--or him already being that stupid is why no one notices him forgetting so much.
* GangOfBullies: The website described him as a member of Tina and Jamie's gang, whether he wanted to be or not, but this was almost never shown in the actual show.
* MadeOfPlasticine: One of the reasons he dies so easily. He is just as tough as you would expect a piece of toast to be.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: He's been eaten (not even [[JustEatHim whole]], actually torn to piece and eaten) several times now. "The Recipe" shows that he's been killed several times [[note]](besides being eaten by birds, Anton has been turned to mush in the school swimming pool, crushed by a bowling ball, had a heart attack while watching a screamer viral video, eaten by Tobias, blown up in chemistry class, put through a paper shredder, blown up in music class from playing a slide whistle, hit in the face with a baseball, slammed between a door frame, and crushed by Tina Rex's foot)[[/note]] and each time, [[ExpendableClone his parents clone him.]] After a montage of his deaths in the same episode, Darwin suggests that they go find out how he keeps coming back by going to his house, because this was getting them nowhere.
-->'''Darwin''': Maybe we should just ask him. \\
'''Gumball:''' Maybe you should've said that before we iced him fifty times in a row.
* TooDumbToLive: Many of his [[TheyKilledKennyAgain frequent deaths]] are a direct result of a lack of basic self-preservation skills. The gym coach once told him to jump into the school pool. By all rights he should know that, as a piece of toast, he'll turn into mush if he gets wet, [[ForgotICouldntSwim yet he jumps in without a second thought.]]

----
[[hardline]]
* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: A strange example; his arms, legs, and facial features have a normal range of movement compared to each other, but his banana "body" freely flips around without any horizontal fixed relation to the rest of him.
* AnnoyingLaugh: He frequently makes a harsh "He-he!" sounding laugh in the first season. His laughter from the second season on isn't nearly as loud or annoying.
* {{Autocannibalism}}: It's mentioned in "The Promise" that the last time he went camping, he was left alone in the woods and had to use his banana skin and eat parts of himself to survive. That, and the winter storm that came when he walked home, is why he has no feet.
* BerserkButton: Do not ruin his family's pen. Or his school picture.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Subverted, as even if you provoke his wrath he's too tiny, weak, and incompetent to be a threat to anyone.
* CatchPhrase: "I'm a banana."
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: His characterization in the first season was all over the place: sometimes he was kind of a jerk or even [[AxCrazy utterly psychotic]] and other times he was cheerful to the point where he literally could not stop making jokes constantly. From the second season on, [[TookALevelInKindness he's a lot nicer]], but still capable of being pushed too far, and is capable of being serious for a minute. He also didn't strip off his peel as much in the earlier episodes.
* ClassClown: Constantly making jokes, but no one really thinks he's funny.
* JigglePhysics: His eyes in the first season were literal googly eyes whose pupils shook around as he moved.
* NiceGuy: He forgives Gumball and Darwin for their numerous and unwarranted attempts at violent revenge "The Banana" and their horrible negligence in "The Promise".
* NoBrows: He has no eyebrows in the first season.
* PlantPerson: A walking, talking banana.
* PungeonMaster: Most of his jokes consists of painful puns.
* SpeciesSurname: Although "Banana" is the first part of his name, it seems to be his surname anyway given he's stated to be from the "Banana family".

* AIIsACrapshoot: In "The Robot", he decides to steal Gumball's life. Conversely, turning super-obedient in "The Bet" made him a vicious LiteralGenie. He tends to lose control and try to kill Gumball and Darwin with [[AxeCrazy startling regularity]].
* CuteMachines: Appearance-wise, he is quite cute. In terms of personality, he can vary from [[{{Adorkable}} endearing awkward]] to [[InsufferableGenius intolerably smug]] or even [[AIIsACrapshoot frighteningly amoral]].
* CyberCyclops: He has a single, off-center eye.
* DoAnythingRobot: Besides a large variety of weapons [[SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids of questionable necessity]] and [[AxesAtSchool legality]], Bobert has a large number of other functions like video recording, vocal imitation, and spontaneously growing an extendable fan.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Gumball learns this the hard way when they play punchies.
* IJustWantToBeYou: He tries [[IJustWantToHaveFriends learn how to make friends]] by copying Gumball in "The Robot", but instead decides to become him exactly, [[KillAndReplace steal his life, and try to get rid of the real one.]]
* InsufferableGenius: He's downright condescending towards his classmates despite wanting to be friends with them.
* NoMouth: He doesn't have a mouth, though when he speaks two blacks bars on his face, which are possibly a speaker, light up.
* NukeEm: Is capable of this in his fighting robot form. Hiding behind a nearby chair is enough protection though.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Even at normal size he can easily [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom punch someone across a room.]]
* SlidingScaleOfRobotIntelligence: Average Joe: knows a lot of math and science and is the best student in school, but has NoSocialSkills.
* TeachersPet: Considers himself to be this.

-->Voiced by Jessica [=MacDonald=]
An emo ghost girl, though she's more Goth than emo.
----
[[hardline]]
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: The only part of her body that is visibly clothing is her hair bow.
* AllGirlsLikePonies: Despite everyone else finding ''[[MyLittlePhony A Pony's Tail]]'' impossibly terrible, Carrie loved it, completely shocking herself.
* AllWomenLoveShoes: {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d during "The Flower"
-->'''Jealousy:''' How many pairs of shoes do you need!? You don't even have feet!
* BigEater: She hasn't eaten since she became a ghost, so when she possesses someone's body she'll eat until it ''passes out''.
* BlackBeadEyes
* CuteGhostGirl: Darwin sure seems to think so when he kissed her.
* DeadpanSnarker: Carrie is almost always deadpan and occasionally snarks. She once has her face sucked into a vacuum and distorted, then replied with a flat "Gross."
* DemonicPossession: She can possess someone's body by [[OrificeInvasion flying into their mouth and down their throat.]]
* EmoTeen: Carrie is described as emo, though she has a lot of {{goth}} elements like her occult room decorations and loving the smell of death. One time she even described herself as "punk-rock".
* FriendlyGhost: Despite her morose demeanor, Carrie is good friends with at least some of her classmates, getting very concerned when Darwin and Gumball are turned into ghosts and upset when it seemed they were stuck in the underworld.
* HairDecorations: Has a bow on the side of her head.
* TheHedonist: It's been so long since she's been able to do things like eating, that when she has a body, she'll immediately starting [[BigEater binge-eating]] [[ExtremeOmnivore absolutely anything]] (except, apparently, pickles).
* HeroicBastard[=/=]NomDeMom: When Carrie says her dad's full name, it ends with "Lokowitchki", not "Kruger". Whether this is because her parents never married or for some other reason isn't specified, though in the case of the former it's likely because [[spoiler:her dad turned into the Snatcher before they could.]]
* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: [[RuleOfFunny Sometimes]] Carrie lacks a reflection or doesn't show up in film (which involves projecting reflections), like when Mr. Small took her class photo.
-->''"I'm not paying for that."''
* PickyEater: When Carrie takes over Gumball's body and starts binge-eating everything in sight, she takes a moment to remove the pickle slice from a hamburger before devouring the whole combo meal.
* LuminescentBlush: She blushes when Darwin kissed her in "Halloween" and in "The Coach" when she said that all the work-out made her feel alive.
* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: [[spoiler:Carrie's mother was a ghost of unknown species. Her father was a mortal CartoonCreature that looked mostly human.]]
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: In "Halloween" she claims she was ''[[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum born]]'' a ghost[[note]]Neither Gumball or Darwin could guess how that works.[[/note]] which means she stays in the living world and can be seen by anyone, even though other ghost can only come there on Halloween and are InvisibleToNormals. "The Mirror" seemingly provides an actual explanation to this: [[spoiler:Her mom was a ghost and her dad a mortal who used magic to be able to touch her, apparently making her a sort of [[NonHumanHumanoidHybrid half-mortal hybrid]].]] Both of these, however, came after her [[MultipleChoicePast mentioning that she used to have a body.]]
* PeekABangs: Much like Gumball's whiskers, subject to FashionableAsymmetry and AmbidextrousSprite.
* PerpetualFrowner: Usually has a morose expression on her face, though she's sported a [[ScaryTeeth sharp-toothed]] grin a few times.
* ShoutOut: Her name is likely inspired by two famous horror characters: [[Literature/{{Carrie}} Carrie White]] and [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]]

[[folder:Clayton]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s2clayton_8087.png
-->Voiced by Rupert Degas (Season 1), Max Cazier (Season 2 onward)
A [[AnimateInanimateObject blob of red clay]] and a compulsive liar.
----
[[hardline]]
* BadLiar[=/=]ConsummateLiar: He's able to lie constantly with complete conviction because [[BelievingTheirOwnLies he convinces himself at the same time]], but people rarely fall for them because they're so ridiculous. Seemingly the only one who believes him is Tobias.
* {{Claymation}}: Although actually computer-animated, Clayton's animation is deliberately similar to a stop motion clay figure.
* IRejectYourReality: In "The Move" he admits he lies so much because he thinks his actual life is boring.
* TheMunchausen: He constantly tells improbably stories about himself and his family.
* NoBrows: His design in the first season lacked eyebrows. Adding them was the most noticeable difference in his second season redesign.
* PoisonousFriend: In "The Skull," Clayton constantly includes Darwin and Gumball in his lies and [[ToxicFriendInfluence causes them to start lying the same way themselves]]. To their credit, Gumball and Darwin figure out he's a bad influence on them almost right away and break it off with him... only for him to attempt to lie his way back into their good graces.
* PunnyName: Clay(ton).
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can change into a lot of shapes, including other people (and fake their voices as well). Justified, in that he's a ball of clay and clay can be molded into whatever you want it to be, even though it's still clay, no matter what (which [[FridgeBrilliance also explains why a ball of clay would be a compulsive liar]]).
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Detention Kids]]
-->Voiced by Hugo Harold-Harrison (Bomb Guy)
A group of students at Elmore Junior High mostly seen in detention. Includes a [[AnimateInanimateObject a guy with a bomb for a head, a human hand, a giant teddy bear]], [[AnthropomorphicFood a rotten cupcake]], and [[FunnyAnimal a rat]].
----
[[hardline]]
* ActionBomb: The most prominent one has a bomb for a head. Making him mad causes him to explode, incapacitating him while reducing his head to a much smaller size.
* AnimatedTattoo: The hand has a tattoo of a skull wearing a crown which acts as his face, being capable of moving around and talking.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: The cupcake guy's pink coloration, mouth that looks like it has lipstick on it, and heeled boots cause Darwin and Gumball to mistake him for a (very ugly) girl.
* HelpingHands: One is a giant human hand and wrist [[TattooedCrook covered in tattoos]], one of which acts as his face.
* KillerTeddyBear: One of them is a giant pink teddy bear who comes off as harmless at first until he bashes Darwin and Gumball's heads together and [[VisualPun pops the cupcake guy's cherry]].
* VagueAge: They're at most a grade older than Darwin or Gumball, but mostly seem like they're well into their teens or even adults. It's possible some of them have been held back ''a lot''.
* YouDirtyRat: Their smallest member is a rat with a [[GoodScarsEvilScars facial scar]] that always wears a hoodie.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Eggheads]]
-->Voiced by Kerry Shale, Rupert Degas (Season 1), Hugo Harold-Harrison (Season 2 onward)
A pair of intellectual, nerdy [[AnthropomorphicFood eggs]].
----
[[hardline]]
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: They're "eggheads" both literally and figuratively.
* BigOlEyebrows: Their eyebrows are very thick and [[BigOlUnibrow there's a good bit of hair inbetween]].
* {{Cephalothorax}}
* TheDividual: They're almost always shown together and acting in unison.
* LongPants: Their pants and shoes appear as a single black-painted section of their body.
* {{Nerd}}: Both have nasally voices and always talk about academics or science fiction. One has NerdGlasses and braces, the other has a face covered in acne.
* NoNameGiven: They're never referred to by name; "Egghead" is just a FanNickname. On his Formspring, one of the writers came up with the names "Frank" and "Beans".
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Green Bear Guy]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/greeen_bear.png
-->Voiced by Simon Lipkin (singing)
What appears to be a [[CartoonCreature green teddy bear]] or a [[AnthropomorphicFood giant sentient Gummy Bear]], as well as a background character who wants to take the stage.
----
[[hardline]]
* AscendedExtra: Somewhat. He was a background character until leading a musical number and a HostileShowTakeover in "The Extras". Then he sank back into the background.
* HiddenDepths: He's quite a good singer.
* RecurringExtra: Usually seen in the background of the Elmore Junior High cafeteria.
* VagueAge: He looks and sounds like an adult, yet he's usually seen in a middle school cafeteria.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Hot Dog Guy]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hotdogguy_render.png
-->Voiced by Dan Russell
A [[AnthropomorphicFood living hot dog]] who's another background character.
----
[[hardline]]
* AscendedExtra: He was a background character since almost the show's beginning, then had a speaking role in "The Castle" and joined in the HostileShowTakeover in "The Extras".
* CoolShades: He is never seen without his shades.
* OurNudityIsDifferent: He considers his hot dog bun clothing, even after it's pointed out it only covers the sides of his body.
* RecurringExtra: Usually seen in the background of the Elmore Junior High cafeteria.
* VagueAge: Like the Green Bear Guy, he's always seen in a middle school cafeteria, but everything else indicates he's an adult.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Hector Jötunheim]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hector_9701.png
-->Voiced by Kerry Shale
A giant covered in colorful fur.
----
[[hardline]]
* ArtEvolution: Sorta. In Season 1, originally the only thing that can be seen of him was usually just his feet due to him being too big to fit in the screen. Other body parts of his would occasionally be seen also, but he never appeared in full body view. In Season 2, he still retains his original depiction but from time to time, his entire body would be shown in full view, most notably in "The Colossus".
* BerserkButton:
** Do ''not'' call him "boring".
** Do ''not'' badmouth his mother.
* TheFaceless: His face was always offscreen in season one. From season two onward his head is visible, but [[BlindingBangs his fur covers all of his facial figures]]. The two exceptions to this so far are a view of his ear when Gumball plays music into it in "The Colossus" and a brief shot in season three's "The Butterfly" showing Hector's mouth and nostrils when he falls down.
* GentleGiant: His mother [[EnforcedTrope makes sure he's always extremely calm and gentle]], because if he wasn't, he'd quickly wreck up the whole town. [[SubvertedTrope In practice]], everyone trying to avoid upsetting him [[HairTriggerTemper has left him rather thin-skinned and easily excited.]] In fact, according to a FreezeFrameBonus on "The Apology," one of the offenses that warrants a suspension from school is "upsetting Hector" (which also counts as "destruction of property").
-->'''Gumball:''' You're not boring, dude. You're nuts.
* MeaningfulName: His last name refers to Jötunheimr, the land of giants from Norse mythology. His first name is from the prefix "hecto-", which is a factor of 100.
* MulticoloredHair: It gradually changes color as you go up his body from purple, to orange, to reddish pink.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: He's taller than the building for the school he attends, and thus is only seen hanging around the playground. Judging by a comment he made about his dad on "The Hero" (he mentions his father's so big that three mountain climbers got stuck in his belly button), '''''he's not even fully grown yet'''''!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Idaho]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s2idaho_7189.png
-->Voiced by Kerry Shale (season 1), Hugo Harold-Harrison (season 2 onward)
A [[AnthropomorphicFood potato]] from a farm on the outskirts of Elmore.
----
[[hardline]]
* AmericanAccents: Appalachian.
* BlackBeadEyes
* {{Cephalothorax}}
* CountryMouse: He commutes to school from a farm and doesn't know what a TV is.
* DisneyDeath: When he appears to die in "The Bumpkin", his parents bury him, and after a short time in the "dirt bath" he pops out good as new.
* GoodOlBoy: He's a jovial hick.
* MeaningfulName: He's a potato named after a state famous for producing potatoes.
* PlantPerson: A walking, talking potato.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Jamie]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jamie_52.png
-->Voiced by Jessica [=MacDonald=] (seasons 1-2), Maria Teresa Creasey (season 3 onward)
A schoolyard bully that [[CartoonCreature vaguely resembles a minotaur]], animated in 3D.
----
[[hardline]]
* BarbaricBully: You don't get much more barbaric than tearing off someone's arm and spitting it at them.
* BlindingBangs: She has these now in season 3.
* CartoonCreature[=/=]MixAndMatchCritters: Has horns like a bull, but a lion's tail and the body of a human. Darwin insults her by claiming she's a "half-cow, half-troglodyte". To make it weirder, her mother is [[spoiler:a giant red cube]] and her father is probably the same species as her but with a pointy hair or hat with straight horns and without a tail.
* ComedicSociopathy: Fed Anton to ducks? Check. Tore off Teri's arm and spat it at her? Check. Made Sarah and Banana Joe into an ice cream sundae? Check!
-->'''Gumball:''' Coach saw what we were all too blind to see. That you're really a sweet, kind... orange thing with, uh, a hat or a wig or some kind of a helmet and horns that we're proud to call our friend.
* EvenBadWomenLoveTheirMamas: As mean as she is, she immediately toes the line anytime her mother ([[spoiler:the Coach]]) is around.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She's no doubt a bully, but she was just as upset as the others when they thought Gumball kissed Carmen in front of Alan.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Although she's easy to mistake as a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal because her shirt is so similar to her skin in color.
* InformedAbility: The characters page on the official website describes her as being a bully because Ms. Simian [[HeldBackInSchool held her back a year]] so she developed an extreme resentment for authority and her new classmates, which was never mentioned in the show. It also says she is Tina's sidekick, but the two were only shown working together once in "The Fight" where Jamie's presence was not commented upon.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: She only apologized to Gumball when Coach came into the scene because she was afraid of getting into trouble, or Coach getting angry.
* PerpetualFrowner: Her default facial expression in season three is a frown. Before that she was, ironically, [[PerpetualSmiler almost always smiling]].
* RedHeadedBully: Her worst acts of bullying include feeding Anton (a piece of toast) to ducks, ripping Teri's (a paper doll) leg off and spitting it back at her ''a la'' a spitball, and turning Sarah and Banana Joe into an ice cream sundae while Sarah staggers around with no head and Joe screams.
* SillyWalk: She doesn't have knees, so she basically goose-steps when she walks.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Juke]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/juke_908.png
-->Voiced by Beatbox Hobbit (in music mode), Hugo Harold-Harrison (in voice mode)
A short humanoid with a boombox for a head.
----
[[hardline]]
* BigOlUnibrow: His buttons visually invoke a unibrow, but they do not [[ExpressiveMask move with his facial expressions]]. [[ArtEvolution In season two]] he [[SuddenAnatomy gains regular eyebrows]] when necessary.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: He's from some country in a continent called Boomboxembourg.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal
* LineBoil: Very subdued compared to most examples, but his outline shakes slightly.
* TheUnintelligible: He speaks (and ''writes'') in beat box and as a foreign exchange student everyone assumes he's speaking a foreign language. He actually ''knows'' how to speak English fine, but when a switch on his head is in the wrong position he can only play music instead of talking. Since he can't reach the switch or tell anyone else, it's been stuck like that for over two years.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Leslie]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leslie_140.png
-->Voiced by Kerry Shale
A sensitive [[AnimateInanimateObject flower]].
----
[[hardline]]
* AmbiguouslyGay: Mostly blatantly shown in "The Mustache", when Gumball's butt suddenly becomes incredibly muscular and Leslie just stares. In "The Pressure", he's shown hanging out with a group of girls throughout the episode, with his presence never being noted; the other male characters mention him when talking about "the girls", and wordlessly joins in their expressions of interest in the idea of watching or kissing boys.
-->'''Leslie:''' There's a lot of things you don't know about me, Gumball.
* GenderBlenderName: Male, despite the name and appearance.
* {{Malaproper}}: He keeps mispronouncing things in "The Words", much to Darwin's annoyance.
* NiceGuy: He was very willing to forgive and make friends with Gumball after his insane feats of jealousy in "The Flower".
* PlantPerson: A walking, talking flower.
* RealMenWearPink: Leslie has pink flower petals and is the only male cheerleader of his school's team.
* StrawVegetarian: {{Inverted|Trope}}; as a plant, he refuses to eat vegetables and tries to bug Penny into ''only'' eating meat.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Masami]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s2masami_6697.png
-->Voiced by Jessica [=MacDonald=]
A [[AnimateInanimateObject white cloud]] obsessed with popularity and generally having her way.
----
[[hardline]]
* BlackBeadEyes: Her eyes actually appear to be a pair of holes in her face, but give this appearance.
* AttentionWhore: Masami is always trying to impress the other girls, faking a relationship with Darwin to seem more mature and partially being interested in Alan because she thought they'd make a popular couple.
* FlyingFace: She has no limbs, just a face on a cloud.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When she's angry, her eyes have an electric glow to them.
* JerkAss: The most consistently bitchy character in the show.
* ManipulativeBastard: Forces Darwin to be her boyfriend and then fake-cries to make him feel guilty when he tries to break it off then. After Gumball accidentally breaks up Carmen and Alan, she pretends to help them get back together with an OperationJealousy, but she actually wanted to be with Alan and tried to blackmail Gumball into keeping quiet.
* PetTheDog: In "The Tape", she lends her cell phone to Tobias so he can call his mother. She missed the point of his pick-up line, but it ''was'' uncharacteristically nice of her.
* RichBitch: {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Darwin in "The Words". One of the lyrics in his song, "What He Thinks About Us," states that Masami only has friends because she's from a rich family.
* SpoiledBrat: Daughter of the rainbow factory owner and has a smug sense of superiority.
* WeatherManipulation: Can pull off minor things like raining and lightning at will, and when she's really angry she can generate a stormy tornado around herself.
* {{Yandere}}: She lies to hook up with Alan in "The Storm" and starts destroying the school when he breaks up with her. She stops once she realizes he's "such a wet cheeseball" and loses interest.

[[folder:Molly Collins]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/240px-molly_435.jpg
-->Voiced by Jessica [=MacDonald=]
A dorky, black, boxy-looking [[FunnyAnimal sauropod]] who mostly appeared in season one. After being absent in season two, she appeared again in "The Void" with an explanation of why she was gone and why no one realized it.
----
[[hardline]]
* TheBusCameBack: Reappears in "The Void." [[spoiler:Apparently the dynamics of the world deemed her too boring so she got sucked into a void full of bad ideas. Darwin, Mr. Small, and Gumball manage to get her out, and she's eventually seen back in the backgrounds again later in the season, even though she doesn't appear in classroom scenes that often]].
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Disappears entirely from Miss Simian's class without explanation in season two, save for a single cameo in the background of a photo in "The Words".
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: A sauropod, although she looks more like a CartoonCreature.
* RetGone: [[spoiler:The reason for her disappearance]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ocho]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s2ocho_3443.png
-->Voiced by Max Cazier
A very-intense spider [[RefugeeFromTVLand from a late 1970s video game]], similar to the aliens from ''Space Invaders''.
----
[[hardline]]
* AxCrazy: He could kill you for the slightest offense.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He hasn't made a proper appearance since "The Tape", which was a Season 2 episode.
* TheDreaded: Gumball lives in fear of the guy when he's near. For good reason.
* FourLeggedInsect: A six-legged spider, but since he's a video game character this was probably an in-universe example caused by sprite limitations.
* HairTriggerTemper: He literally tries to kill Gumball for insulting him. [[ObliviouslyEvil He is not aware this kind of behavior is inappropriate]] because people are too terrified to give an honest answer whenever he asks if he's overreacted.
* MeaningfulName: Ocho is Spanish for Eight, like an 8-bit video game processor, though Ocho is based on [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfVideoGames a graphical style]] that's even older than [[UsefulNotes/The8bitEraOfConsoleVideoGames the games most people think of as "8-bit"]]. Spiders are known to have eight legs, though [[FourLeggedInsect he doesn't]].
* SuddenlyVoiced: He speaks normally in season two.
* TheUnintelligible: Spoke in ArcadeSounds in season one.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Penny Fitzgerald]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pennys2_821.png
-->Voiced by Teresa Gallagher
A good-natured [[AnimateInanimateObject peanut]] [[MixAndMatchCreatures with antlers.]] [[spoiler:Underneath the peanut shell, she's some sort of ghost-like shapeshifter with antlers.]]
----
[[hardline]]
* ArtEvolution: Went from [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111212062218/theamazingworldofgumball/images/thumb/f/f1/ThePressure9.png/300px-ThePressure9.png this]] during season 1, to what you see above in season 2 up until the season three episode "The Shell."
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Only wears shoes and a sweatband on her arms. [[spoiler:After she literally broke out of her shell and revealed that she's a shape-shifting spirit, she no longer wears any clothing normally, but puts the sweatbands back on (plus a third one on her head) when cheerleading.]]
* BeautifulAllAlong: [[spoiler: In "The Shell", it's shown that Penny is a flying, multicolored creature with wings, who morphs into different shapes depending on her mood. Gumball definitely thinks she looks "extraordinary". Penny wasn't by any means "ugly" before, just decent-looking, compared to the form she was hiding beneath.]]
* BlackBeadEyes: Like Masami, her eyes have the appearance of Black Bead Eyes, but actually seem to be holes in her shell--Gumball once said she looked like a "coconut with holes in it". Given her shell turns out to be removable, it could be considered a form of ExpressiveMask.
* TheCheerleader: She is, technically, a cheerleader. But the malicious version described in this trope is averted.
* InterspeciesRomance: With Gumball.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: [[spoiler:Her real form inside her shell. How she looks [[PsychoactivePowers depends upon her self-image]] and possibly other emotions, from a rabbit, to a dragon, to a form that looks somewhat similar to how she was with the shell still on. Being distressed or confused causes her to [[ShapeshifterSwanSong rapidly change between forms]]. She still always [[MorphicResonance has antlers]], though.]]
* LittleMissSnarker: Penny can be amazingly snarky when putting down [[CasanovaWannabe Tobias]].
* MoralityPet: {{Downplayed}}. While Gumball is far from anything evil or even a straight {{Jerkass}}, Penny is probably the only person he never speaks sarcastically or cynically towards.
* NiceGirl: Popular, cheerleader, and sweet as can be. In "The Bros", she told Gumball she needed space just so he and Darwin can have time to repair their friendship as the latter was very envious about Penny getting attention from him and she doesn't hold a grudge about it since she also cares for Darwin's well-being.
* NotSoAboveItAll: The end of "The Flower" shows she's capable of the same illogical jealously that Gumball had been going through.
* OfficialCouple: with Gumball
* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler:After their BigDamnKiss at the end of "The Shell" she and Gumball are now dating.]]
* TheRunaway: In "The Shell", she decides to run away from home and [[spoiler:go live in the forest, because she believes everyone, even her dad, thinks she's a monster. Gumball convinces her to come back.]]
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: [[spoiler:It's not clear whether it's a Type A or B, but when she isn't worried about what other people think of her, under her shell she looks similar to how she did with it on, but with red and orange skin, a larger head, [[WingsDoNothing static]] wing-like appendages, and [[PowerpuffGirlHands no hands or feet]].]]
* SingleTargetSexuality: The only person Penny is romantically interested in is Gumball.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Penny is romantically interested in the fundamentally good guy, Gumball. [[spoiler:They become an OfficialCouple after Gumball convinces her she's not the monster she thinks she is.]]
** In "The Sweaters", after she finds out that Gumball (along with Darwin) was challenged to a tennis fight with two kids from Richwood High she gave this bit of dialogue:
-->''Gumball! I heard you're gonna sacrifice yourself to save the school. I know it's heroic and selfless and- (looks aside) kind of attractive. ''
** On their [[spoiler:first date in "The Burden"]], Penny also liked Gumball showing his paternal side to the school's pet hamster. Heck, she even called his side ''"attractive"''.
* SmittenTeenageGirl: With Gumball. Technically, Pennny is "tweenage".
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Penny is always shown as being taller than Gumball, though by how much varies by scene.
* TwiceShy: Her feelings for Gumball are mutual, but both struggle to confess to each other. [[spoiler: As of "The Shell", they're official.]]

[[folder:Sarah G. Lato]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sarah_the_ice_cream_8655.png
-->Voiced by Jessica [=MacDonald=]
An [[AnthropomorphicFood ice cream scoop in a cone]] who transferred to Elmore Junior High in the second season.
----
[[hardline]]
* AscendedExtra: She was a background character until late in season 2.
* BlushSticker: She has oval-shaped ones on her cheeks at all times.
* HeldBackInSchool: Strangely, she's in Ms. Simian's 7th grade class even though she was previous attending Richwood ''High'', [[FridgeLogic which would imply her transfer involved going back at least two grades]]. This is probably just an oversight on the writers' part.
* HugeSchoolgirl: With the exception of Tina, she's the tallest girl at the school.
* TheMillstone: In "The Sweaters", she keeps pushing for Darwin and Gumball to fight the kids from her old school, [[HypocriticalHumor despite saying they're not to be messed with]], even going behind Gumball and Darwin's backs to provoke them. Some of the pictures in "The Fan" implied Sarah was stalking Darwin and Gumball even before transferring to Elmore, so it's a strong possibility she was solely responsible for Gumball and Darwin's "reputation" at said school that brought the pair in the first place.
-->'''Gumball:''' (watching Sarah hanging around his house) This girl's trouble, man.
* LoonyFan: She's obsessed with following Darwin and Gumball's adventures, sometimes trying to get them into more or fit herself into them.
* LosingYourHead: The ice cream part of her can fall off the cone (as seen in "The Coach" and "The Allergy"), but it doesn't seem to do anything to her. Her body can even move independently, though this is difficult for obvious reasons.
* NewTransferStudent: In "The Sweaters" it's explained she transferred to Elmore Junior High from Richwood High. In "The Fan" she lets it slip that she transferred just to be closer to Darwin and Gumball.
* PunnyName: A gelato (G. Lato) is a frozen Italian dessert that's a lot like ice cream, though Sarah is modeled after American-style ice cream.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Sarah showed up in the background of most of season two, [[InvertedTrope but was introduced in one of the season's last episodes ("The Sweaters") as if she's just transferred then]]. Her one speaking role before that in "The Voice" did show that Darwin and Gumball didn't know her yet.
* SphereEyes
* StalkerWithACrush: Her fascination with Gumball and Darwin goes UpToEleven in "The Fan", including a StalkerShrine and video of her watching them in secret.
* StrawFan: She has a lot of traits of a stereotypical fangirl: she draws [[TerribleArtist very bad]] {{animesque}} fanart and writes overly-dramatic, romantic fanfiction about Gumball, Darwin, [[SelfInsertFic and herself]]. Darwin and Gumball end up humoring her and acting it out to cheer her up (before tearing it to shreds).
* Tuckerization: She is [[http://imaginationstudios.cartoonnetwork.co.uk/video/meet-the-executive-producer-of-gumball/ named after]] the series' executive producer, Sarah Fell.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Aggressively so. Sarah tends to force the boys into whatever kind of story strikes her fancy that week. She even brings her own soundtrack.

An obnoxious live-action [[CartoonCreature chin puppet]] who can't stop eating and is considered gross and a bit of an outcast.
----
[[hardline]]
* {{All Loving Hero}}ine: "Sussie likes everything in the world".
* BigEater: Rarely seen not eating.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She acts extremely spacey. At one point she held a party and "practiced" welcoming guest by randomly opening the door to greet thin air.
* FatBastard: Less bastard and more just plain annoying and gross.
* FatIdiot: Moreso in season 2.
* FatSlob: Complete with JabbaTableManners.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Her lower half is shown [[http://theamazingworldofgumball.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ponything.png extremely few times]], but these times show she wears shoes.
* HiddenDepths: In "The Question," she turns out to be more philosophical than she lets out, citing probably the most insightful answer to Gumball and Darwin's question of what's the meaning of life[[note]]that's it's not about the destination; it's about the journey and who you meet along the way and what you decide to do with your life to get the most out of it[[/note]]. She also implies [[SmarterThanYouLook she actually isn't stupid]], she just acts that way because [[ItAmusedMe to her, that's how she enjoys and finds meaning in her life]].
* KindheartedSimpleton: Despite her kookiness, she is (with the exception of Penny), Miss Simian's nicest student.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Bordering on HulkSpeak after her [[TookALevelInDumbass vanishing intelligence]] in season 2.

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/150px-terii__7302.png
-->Voiced by Teresa Gallagher
A [[AnimateInanimateObject paper cutout]] of a teddy bear girl. Very afraid of germs and catching disease, much to the annoyance of the school nurse.
----
[[hardline]]
* BarefootCartoonAnimal[=/=]FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Her design isn't detailed enough around the feet to tell if she's supposed to be wearing shoes. Technically she isn't wearing ''any'' clothes, just part of her body shaped like a skirt and drawn-on details that indicate clothing.
* BearyFriendly: She's definitely not violent or intimidating (being about as strong as you'd expect a crumpled piece of paper to be) and is on the school's cheer team, though her obsessive, somewhat egocentric behavior gets on people's nerves.
* TheChewToy: She becomes victim to an incredible amount of physical trauma in season three, likely because being made of paper makes it all BloodlessCarnage. This includes having a hole burned into her face, one arm being torn off by Miss Simian during the Joy virus attack, Jamie ripping off one of her legs, chewing it, and spitting it in her face, and being impaled on Carmen's needles.
* FaceDoodling: Does this to herself at times when necessary (e.g. "The Virus", where she draws tears under her eyes to represent crying, and later draws a surgical mask over her mouth) and was seen passed out and drawn on in "The Party." [[JustifiedTrope Her paper body gives her the capability of erasing face doodles quite easily]].
* {{Hypochondria}}: Much to the annoyance of the school nurse.
-->'''Teri:''' I can feel myself getting ill... \\
'''Nurse:''' Hmm, like Monday, when you thought the foam in your mouth was rabies only to discover it was toothpaste? Or Tuesday, when you thought you broke your leg even though you don't have any bones? Or yesterday, when you thought you'd gone deaf because nobody had spoken to you for five minutes.
* IllGirl: Or at least that what she's worried about being.
* MadLibsCatchPhrase: "You do know that [noun] has more germs on it than a toilet seat?"
* MotorMouth: When something cause her to talk about disease, Teri tends to go on a detailed clip without any letting anyone else talk.
* PaperPeople: A crumpled-up one.
* PunnyName: Being made of paper, she is very "tear-y".
* SkintoneSclerae: Like Alan, she has a drawn-on face with no coloring, though in this case that just happens to make her sclerae white.
* TerrifiedOfGerms: She's constantly spraying things clean while talking about how many germs are covering everything. This is apparently a result of her looking at a lot of pictures of infections her doctor mother posted on her medical website.

[[folder:Tina Rex]]

-->Voiced by Dan Russell (Season 1), Stefan Ashton Frank (Season 2 onward)
A 3D [[FunnyAnimal Tyrannosaurus rex]] bully, though despite her fearsome appearance, she's only a bully because everyone expects her to be like her father (who is said to be worse than her).
----
[[hardline]]
* ArtEvolution: In Season 1, she originally had a cartoon-like design similar to the old T-Rex depictions. In Season 2, she is given a more realistic design similar to modern T-Rex depictions.
* BarbaricBully: She's a ''pre-historic'' bully.
* TheBully: A very intimidating one.
* DemotedToExtra: Tina is one of the only classmates of Gumball's to have become ''less'' prominent as the show has progressed: In the first season, she was one of the more frequently recurring characters in Elmore Junior High and had two episodes centered around her ("The Quest" and "The Fight"). In the second season, she still appeared normally, but the one episode planned to be about her was scrapped. In the third season, she is seen and talks fairly rarely.
* TheDreaded: Not just the students, but the school's ''counselor'' are terrified of her.
* FemaleMonsterSurprise: The other character have all known her long enough to know Tina is a girl, but her male voice and monstrous, gender-neutral appearance definitely lead most viewers to think she's male until stated otherwise.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Her name is Tina, but with her last name it becomes NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast.
* GonkyFemme: Tina doesn't normally act very feminine, but she did try to be in the cheerleading squad and was upset when Darwin told her trying to act girly doesn't work for a huge tyrannosaurus.
-->'''Darwin:''' And how about you clip those stupid nails?! They're not gonna make you look more feminine. In case you haven't noticed, you're a ten ton sack of reptile flesh!
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Not the case, especially not when her dad gets involved...

* IAmNotMyFather:
-->'''Tina:''' Everyone thinks I'm a brute, just like my dad. ''But I'm not!''\\
''([[IResembleThatRemark Tina kicks a scrap car away]])''
* JerkassFacade: It is revealed in "The Fight" that she wasn't intentionally bullying Gumball, she just acts that way because of her scary father and the fact that it is what people expect when they see a T-rex that [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength Does Not Know Her Own Strength.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She shows shades of this from time to time.
* LarynxDissonance: Has a very deep male voice (and is voiced by a man), due to being a Tyrannosaurus.

A [[CartoonCreature many-colored stylized cloud]] with a very overinflated self-image.
----
[[hardline]]
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Only wears shoes and sweatbands around his wrist and forehead.
* CasanovaWannabe: Showed hints of this in the second season, especially when he tried to make a video about talking to girls in "The Tape". By the third season, he's hitting on and being rejected by every girl in school. He's basically the only person in the whole show [[NiceGirl Penny]] is ''not'' nice to.
* {{Cephalothorax}}
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Applies not so much to him as to how everyone else treats him: during his first appearance in "The Third", it's pretty obvious to the audience that he's not as great as he claims, yet [[FakeUltimateHero everyone thinks he's genuinely cool and interesting.]] In seasons two and three, he usually portrayed as one of the least popular people in the whole school, despite being a jock.
* DumbJock: Tobias isn't very smart.
* JerkJock: He definitely ''thinks'' he's a jock, and can be pretty well a jerk.
* HopelessSuitor: He constantly goes after Penny in "The Knight", despite her openly rejecting him at every opportunity. His attempts are so hopeless that [[CrazyJealousGuy Gumball]], the guy who was furious over a ''dream'' of Darwin kissing Penny, doesn't see Tobias as any kind of romantic competition.
* NotAZombie: Inverted in "The Joy", as being ignored by all the girls left him the only one not infected with the happiness virus that gives you rainbow drool, but his technicolor appearance made Miss Simian think he was anyway (possibly that's why none of the male infected bothered him either).
* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks he's super athletic and popular, but he's incredibly scrawny, all the girls hate him, and he's generally thought of as a loser. In "The Voice" he [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall can't understand why]] everything important happens to [[WeirdnessMagnet Gumball]], and thinks [[WrongGenreSavvy if anyone should be the main character it should be him.]]

-->Voiced by Hugo Harold-Harrison (season 2, season 3, "The Nemesis" pre-voice change), Creator/DavidWarner ("The Nemesis" post-voice change)
A skinny blue cyclops. Was seen often in season one and rarely in season two (his last major appearance was in "The Pony"). He appeared in the background of the dimension of the world's mistakes in "The Void" and "The Nobody" established that he escaped the void and is seeking revenge for being ignored.
----
[[hardline]]
* ArtEvolution: He was CGI in his background appearances in the first season, but in the second season he switches to a 2D design. In season three's "The Nobody," he returns and is back to being in CGI, but the CGI is more well-done than it was in season one.
* AscendedExtra: His first speaking line is mid Season Two, but he appears before that as a background character
* BigBad: Since Rob needed a new place in life and Elmore basically only had room for villains, he decides to become Gumball and Darwin's ArchNemesis.
* BodyHorror: Escaping from the void caused his body to become all [[OminousVisualGlitch glitchy]] and disfigured. Part of his body even displays the void's background pattern.
* ChekhovsGunman: His cameo in "The Void" turns out to be significant in "The Nobody".
* {{Cyclops}}
* EvilBrit: Rob let Darwin and Gumball change his voice to one with a British accent [[InvokedTrope specifically because they thought it would be a better "evil" voice]].
* FromNobodyToNightmare: After coming back from the void but not remembering who he is, Rob literally calls himself "nobody". Darwin and Gumball suggest he strive for a new place in the world as the worst person ever. Rob then remembers who he is and how they left him behind in the void, and swears to take revenge by destroying everything they care about and taking away everyone they love.
* HarmlessVillain: After swearing vengeance in "The Nobody", Rob's evil plans are all so self-defeating that Gumball and Darwin don't even notice them, and they help Rob [[TookALevelInBadass become more threatening]] in "The Nemesis". His plan to destroy Elmore's dam fails because Elmore doesn't ''have'' a dam, but the ending implies his increased confidence may make him a genuine threat.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal
* MeaningfulRename: Since "[[TomTheDarkLord Rob]]" wasn't exactly a great villain name, Gumball and Darwin come up with a bunch of new names for him to go by. After many terrible ones they come up with "[[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Dr.]] Wrecker".
* TheNondescript: After Darwin and Gumball stop talking to him, they immediately forget who he was or that they even met him. It really says a lot about [[WorldOfWeirdness Elmore]] and [[CastOfSnowflakes it inhabitants]] that a ''blue cyclops'' is considered "nondescript".
* TheNthDoctor: In "The Nemesis", part of Darwin and Gumball's attempt make him a better enemy is to give him a more intimidating voice. His partially-static body could be altered by a television remote, causing him to change voice actor from Hugo Harold-Harrison to Creator/DavidWarner.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: According to "The Nobody":
-->'''Gumball:''' Oh, you know what else is thick? Your mom's chin! \\
'''Rob:''' I don't have a mom.\\
'''Gumball:''' Yeah. I meant your mom's skin. \\
'''Rob:''' I still don't have a mom.
* PutOnABusToHell: He's seen floating around the bad idea dimension in "The Void", indicating he was RetGone. Unlike Molly, Gumball and Darwin do not remember him, so he ends up being left there without comment -- [[TheBusCameBack until it was revealed]] that he actually broke out of the void and has been living in the Wattersons' basement with no memory of who he was until Gumball and Darwin tell him that he can be their worst enemy.
* UnknownRival: Even after he swears to be Darwin and Gumball's nemesis, they still ignore him and immediately forget about him for a long time.
* WalkingSpoiler: The fact that he has any plot significance at all is a rather huge spoiler for "The Nobody" and possibly more.

-->Voiced by Kerry Shale (season 1), Hugo Harold-Harrison (season 2 onward)
A [[AnimateInanimateObject balloon with a face drawn on it]] and a sickeningly nice person. He's [[InterspeciesRomance romantically interested]] in Carmen, which has rather obvious problems.
----
[[hardline]]
* AllBalloonsHaveHelium: He can be re-inflated with a person's breath but still keep floating afterward.
* ApologizesALot: In "The Voice" he even apologizes for making someone feel they need to apologize, and continues to apologize until Gumball pops him to make him stop.
* BerserkButton: Gumball finally managed to find something that irritated Alan in "The Saint": the sound people make when they drag their feet on linoleum. [[spoiler:Actually, that was just a lie just so Gumball would feel better.]]
* {{Bishonen}}: His face looks a LOT different in photos than it does in real life. His ''[[BeautyMark mole]]'' is even beautiful.
--> '''Gumball:''' (Trying to blow Alan away) It's bad enough-[blow]-that you're a million times prettier than I am!-[blow]-I don't need you to rub it in my face-[blow]-on how mature and deep you are! [blow]
* BizarreAlienBiology: Gumball refers to him as a "biological mystery" when he couldn't tell Alan was crying, but Alan explains:
-->'''Alan:''' Air comes in the knot, air comes out the knot.\\
'''Gumball:''' Hmm, hmm... What about the spaghetti, though?\\
'''Alan:''' Spaghetti goes in, [[NoConservationOfEnergy turns into air]], comes back out.\\
'''Gumball:''' (beat) [[ToiletHumor So technically you weren't only crying just now.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his few speaking appearances in the first season, he didn't seem particularly nice to anyone.
* FatalAttraction: Alan and Carmen are passionately in love with one another, but because Alan is a balloon and Carmen is a cactus, their relationship is impossible.
* FlyingFace: Alan is just a balloon with a face drawn on it. His lack of limbs is a frequent frustration of his.
* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Gumball does a bunch of horrible things to Alan in "The Saint" (including framing him for cheating on Carmen and having his parents [[ItMakesSenseInContext tortured by a clown]]) all for the sake of trying to upset. Alan doesn't ''just'' [[TurnTheOtherCheek forgive him immediately]], he views them in such a ridiculously optimistic way as to believe Gumball never did anything bad.
* HeliumSpeech: Justified, as he's a [[AnimateInanimateObject balloon]].
* IncorruptiblePurePureness[=/=]ParodySue: Is ludicrously good and perfect - a PuritySue parody. Gumball spent an entire episode ("The Saint") trying to make him angry. [[spoiler:He completely failed.]]
* InterspeciesRomance: Alan (male balloon) is madly in love with Carmen (female cactus).
* NiceGuy: So nice, that it makes Gumball (and everyone else) ''sick''.
* NotSoAboveItAll: In "The Storm," after Gumball interrupts his speech to Masami for the third time in a row, he breaks his usual behavior to tell him '''''"Just shut-up, O.K.!!!"''''' Alan was also seen as one of the members of Mr. Small's apocalyptic tribe about to cannibalize The Wattersons in "The Pizza."
* RunningGag: He has no hands!
* SickeninglySweethearts: In "The Storm", he is sickeningly sweet with Carmen, much to their classmates' disgust.
* SkintoneSclerae: As his face is drawn on only in black, his eyes lack any coloration, fitting this trope as much as you can consider any of his body to be "skin".
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: While he's a boy, [[InvertedTrope he has obvious eyelashes that makes him appear to be a girl]].
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: He's been popped on multiple occasions.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: He's not even half Carmen's size.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: He wears only shoes.
* AnimalsHateHim: Ducks and other birds don't hate him, but they do find him ''delicious''.
* BlackBeadEyes
* {{Cephalothorax}}
* TheChewToy: Dies frequently, sometimes by literally being chewed on.
* TheDitz: He was one of the contestants in the dumb race and thought a mirror could talk. It's possible some or all of Anton's memories don't pass on to the next clone when he dies, and thus he can't learn anything because he's always dying--or him already being that stupid is why no one notices him forgetting so much.
* GangOfBullies: The website described him as a member of Tina and Jamie's gang, whether he wanted to be or not, but this was almost never shown in the actual show.
* MadeOfPlasticine: One of the reasons he dies so easily. He is just as tough as you would expect a piece of toast to be.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: He's been eaten (not even [[JustEatHim whole]], actually torn to piece and eaten) several times now. "The Recipe" shows that he's been killed several times [[note]](besides being eaten by birds, Anton has been turned to mush in the school swimming pool, crushed by a bowling ball, had a heart attack while watching a screamer viral video, eaten by Tobias, blown up in chemistry class, put through a paper shredder, blown up in music class from playing a slide whistle, hit in the face with a baseball, slammed between a door frame, and crushed by Tina Rex's foot)[[/note]] and each time, [[ExpendableClone his parents clone him.]] After a montage of his deaths in the same episode, Darwin suggests that they go find out how he keeps coming back by going to his house, because this was getting them nowhere.
-->'''Darwin''': Maybe we should just ask him. \\
'''Gumball:''' Maybe you should've said that before we iced him fifty times in a row.
* TooDumbToLive: Many of his [[TheyKilledKennyAgain frequent deaths]] are a direct result of a lack of basic self-preservation skills. The gym coach once told him to jump into the school pool. By all rights he should know that, as a piece of toast, he'll turn into mush if he gets wet, [[ForgotICouldntSwim yet he jumps in without a second thought.]]

* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: A strange example; his arms, legs, and facial features have a normal range of movement compared to each other, but his banana "body" freely flips around without any horizontal fixed relation to the rest of him.
* AnnoyingLaugh: He frequently makes a harsh "He-he!" sounding laugh in the first season. His laughter from the second season on isn't nearly as loud or annoying.
* {{Autocannibalism}}: It's mentioned in "The Promise" that the last time he went camping, he was left alone in the woods and had to use his banana skin and eat parts of himself to survive. That, and the winter storm that came when he walked home, is why he has no feet.
* BerserkButton: Do not ruin his family's pen. Or his school picture.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Subverted, as even if you provoke his wrath he's too tiny, weak, and incompetent to be a threat to anyone.
* CatchPhrase: "I'm a banana."
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: His characterization in the first season was all over the place: sometimes he was kind of a jerk or even [[AxCrazy utterly psychotic]] and other times he was cheerful to the point where he literally could not stop making jokes constantly. From the second season on, [[TookALevelInKindness he's a lot nicer]], but still capable of being pushed too far, and is capable of being serious for a minute. He also didn't strip off his peel as much in the earlier episodes.
* ClassClown: Constantly making jokes, but no one really thinks he's funny.
* JigglePhysics: His eyes in the first season were literal googly eyes whose pupils shook around as he moved.
* NiceGuy: He forgives Gumball and Darwin for their numerous and unwarranted attempts at violent revenge "The Banana" and their horrible negligence in "The Promise".
* NoBrows: He has no eyebrows in the first season.
* PlantPerson: A walking, talking banana.
* PungeonMaster: Most of his jokes consists of painful puns.
* SpeciesSurname: Although "Banana" is the first part of his name, it seems to be his surname anyway given he's stated to be from the "Banana family".

* InsufferableGenius: He's downright condescending towards his classmates despite wanting to be friends with them.
* NoMouth: He doesn't have a mouth, though when he speaks two blacks bars on his face, which are possibly a speaker, light up.
* NukeEm: Is capable of this in his fighting robot form. Hiding behind a nearby chair is enough protection though.

* AllWomenLoveShoes: {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d during "The Flower"
-->'''Jealousy:''' How many pairs of shoes do you need!? You don't even have feet!

* CuteGhostGirl: Darwin sure seems to think so when he kissed her.
* DeadpanSnarker: Carrie is almost always deadpan and occasionally snarks. She once has her face sucked into a vacuum and distorted, then replied with a flat "Gross."
* DemonicPossession: She can possess someone's body by [[OrificeInvasion flying into their mouth and down their throat.]]
* EmoTeen: Carrie is described as emo, though she has a lot of {{goth}} elements like her occult room decorations and loving the smell of death. One time she even described herself as "punk-rock".
* FriendlyGhost: Despite her morose demeanor, Carrie is good friends with at least some of her classmates, getting very concerned when Darwin and Gumball are turned into ghosts and upset when it seemed they were stuck in the underworld.
* HairDecorations: Has a bow on the side of her head.
* TheHedonist: It's been so long since she's been able to do things like eating, that when she has a body, she'll immediately starting [[BigEater binge-eating]] [[ExtremeOmnivore absolutely anything]] (except, apparently, pickles).
* HeroicBastard[=/=]NomDeMom: When Carrie says her dad's full name, it ends with "Lokowitchki", not "Kruger". Whether this is because her parents never married or for some other reason isn't specified, though in the case of the former it's likely because [[spoiler:her dad turned into the Snatcher before they could.]]
* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: [[RuleOfFunny Sometimes]] Carrie lacks a reflection or doesn't show up in film (which involves projecting reflections), like when Mr. Small took her class photo.

* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: [[spoiler:Carrie's mother was a ghost of unknown species. Her father was a mortal CartoonCreature that looked mostly human.]]
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: In "Halloween" she claims she was ''[[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum born]]'' a ghost[[note]]Neither Gumball or Darwin could guess how that works.[[/note]] which means she stays in the living world and can be seen by anyone, even though other ghost can only come there on Halloween and are InvisibleToNormals.

* {{Claymation}}: Although actually computer-animated, Clayton's animation is deliberately similar to a stop motion clay figure.
* IRejectYourReality: In "The Move" he admits he lies so much because he thinks his actual life is boring.
* TheMunchausen: He constantly tells improbably stories about himself and his family.
* NoBrows: His design in the first season lacked eyebrows. Adding them was the most noticeable difference in his second season redesign.
* PoisonousFriend: In "The Skull," Clayton constantly includes Darwin and Gumball in his lies and [[ToxicFriendInfluence causes them to start lying the same way themselves]]. To their credit, Gumball and Darwin figure out he's a bad influence on them almost right away and break it off with him... only for him to attempt to lie his way back into their good graces.
* PunnyName: Clay(ton).
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can change into a lot of shapes, including other people (and fake their voices as well). Justified, in that he's a ball of clay and clay can be molded into whatever you want it to be, even though it's still clay, no matter what (which [[FridgeBrilliance also explains why a ball of clay would be a compulsive liar]]).

[[folder:Detention Kids]]
-->Voiced by Hugo Harold-Harrison (Bomb Guy)
A group of students at Elmore Junior High mostly seen in detention. Includes a [[AnimateInanimateObject a guy with a bomb for a head, a human hand, a giant teddy bear]], [[AnthropomorphicFood a rotten cupcake]], and [[FunnyAnimal a rat]].
----
[[hardline]]
* ActionBomb: The most prominent one has a bomb for a head. Making him mad causes him to explode, incapacitating him while reducing his head to a much smaller size.
* AnimatedTattoo: The hand has a tattoo of a skull wearing a crown which acts as his face, being capable of moving around and talking.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: The cupcake guy's pink coloration, mouth that looks like it has lipstick on it, and heeled boots cause Darwin and Gumball to mistake him for a (very ugly) girl.
* HelpingHands: One is a giant human hand and wrist [[TattooedCrook covered in tattoos]], one of which acts as his face.
* KillerTeddyBear: One of them is a giant pink teddy bear who comes off as harmless at first until he bashes Darwin and Gumball's heads together and [[VisualPun pops the cupcake guy's cherry]].
* VagueAge: They're at most a grade older than Darwin or Gumball, but mostly seem like they're well into their teens or even adults. It's possible some of them have been held back ''a lot''.
* YouDirtyRat: Their smallest member is a rat with a [[GoodScarsEvilScars facial scar]] that always wears a hoodie.

* BigOlEyebrows: Their eyebrows are very thick and [[BigOlUnibrow there's a good bit of hair inbetween]].
* {{Cephalothorax}}
* TheDividual: They're almost always shown together and acting in unison.
* LongPants: Their pants and shoes appear as a single black-painted section of their body.
* {{Nerd}}: Both have nasally voices and always talk about academics or science fiction. One has NerdGlasses and braces, the other has a face covered in acne.
* NoNameGiven: They're never referred to by name; "Egghead" is just a FanNickname. On his Formspring, one of the writers came up with the names "Frank" and "Beans".

[[folder:Green Bear Guy]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/greeen_bear.png

What appears to be a [[CartoonCreature green teddy bear]] or a [[AnthropomorphicFood giant sentient Gummy Bear]], as well as a background character who wants to take the stage.
----
[[hardline]]
* AscendedExtra: Somewhat. He was a background character until leading a musical number and a HostileShowTakeover in "The Extras". Then he sank back into the background.
* HiddenDepths: He's quite a good singer.
* RecurringExtra: Usually seen in the background of the Elmore Junior High cafeteria.
* VagueAge: He looks and sounds like an adult, yet he's usually seen in a middle school cafeteria.

A [[AnthropomorphicFood living hot dog]] who's another background character.
----
[[hardline]]
* AscendedExtra: He was a background character since almost the show's beginning, then had a speaking role in "The Castle" and joined in the HostileShowTakeover in "The Extras".
* CoolShades: He is never seen without his shades.
* OurNudityIsDifferent: He considers his hot dog bun clothing, even after it's pointed out it only covers the sides of his body.
* RecurringExtra: Usually seen in the background of the Elmore Junior High cafeteria.
* VagueAge: Like the Green Bear Guy, he's always seen in a middle school cafeteria, but everything else indicates he's an adult.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Hector Jötunheim]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hector_9701.png
-->Voiced by Kerry Shale
A giant covered in colorful fur.
----
[[hardline]]
* ArtEvolution: Sorta. In Season 1, originally the only thing that can be seen of him was usually just his feet due to him being too big to fit in the screen. Other body parts of his would occasionally be seen also, but he never appeared in full body view. In Season 2, he still retains his original depiction but from time to time, his entire body would be shown in full view, most notably in "The Colossus".
* BerserkButton:
** Do ''not'' call him "boring".
** Do ''not'' badmouth his mother.
* TheFaceless: His face was always offscreen in season one. From season two onward his head is visible, but [[BlindingBangs his fur covers all of his facial figures]]. The two exceptions to this so far are a view of his ear when Gumball plays music into it in "The Colossus" and a brief shot in season three's "The Butterfly" showing Hector's mouth and nostrils when he falls down.
* GentleGiant: His mother [[EnforcedTrope makes sure he's always extremely calm and gentle]], because if he wasn't, he'd quickly wreck up the whole town. [[SubvertedTrope In practice]], everyone trying to avoid upsetting him [[HairTriggerTemper has left him rather thin-skinned and easily excited.]] In fact, according to a FreezeFrameBonus on "The Apology," one of the offenses that warrants a suspension from school is "upsetting Hector" (which also counts as "destruction of property").
-->'''Gumball:''' You're not boring, dude. You're nuts.
* MeaningfulName: His last name refers to Jötunheimr, the land of giants from Norse mythology. His first name is from the prefix "hecto-", which is a factor of 100.
* MulticoloredHair: It gradually changes color as you go up his body from purple, to orange, to reddish pink.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: He's taller than the building for the school he attends, and thus is only seen hanging around the playground. Judging by a comment he made about his dad on "The Hero" (he mentions his father's so big that three mountain climbers got stuck in his belly button), '''''he's not even fully grown yet'''''!

A [[AnthropomorphicFood potato]] from a farm on the outskirts of Elmore.
----
[[hardline]]
* AmericanAccents: Appalachian.
* BlackBeadEyes
* {{Cephalothorax}}
* CountryMouse: He commutes to school from a farm and doesn't know what a TV is.
* DisneyDeath: When he appears to die in "The Bumpkin", his parents bury him, and after a short time in the "dirt bath" he pops out good as new.
* GoodOlBoy: He's a jovial hick.
* MeaningfulName: He's a potato named after a state famous for producing potatoes.
* PlantPerson: A walking, talking potato.

[[folder:Jamie]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jamie_52.png
-->Voiced by Jessica [=MacDonald=] (seasons 1-2), Maria Teresa Creasey (season 3 onward)
A schoolyard bully that [[CartoonCreature vaguely resembles a minotaur]], animated in 3D.
----
[[hardline]]
* BarbaricBully: You don't get much more barbaric than tearing off someone's arm and spitting it at them.
* BlindingBangs: She has these now in season 3.
* CartoonCreature[=/=]MixAndMatchCritters: Has horns like a bull, but a lion's tail and the body of a human. Darwin insults her by claiming she's a "half-cow, half-troglodyte". To make it weirder, her mother is [[spoiler:a giant red cube]] and her father is probably the same species as her but with a pointy hair or hat with straight horns and without a tail.
* ComedicSociopathy: Fed Anton to ducks? Check. Tore off Teri's arm and spat it at her? Check. Made Sarah and Banana Joe into an ice cream sundae? Check!
-->'''Gumball:''' Coach saw what we were all too blind to see. That you're really a sweet, kind... orange thing with, uh, a hat or a wig or some kind of a helmet and horns that we're proud to call our friend.
* EvenBadWomenLoveTheirMamas: As mean as she is, she immediately toes the line anytime her mother ([[spoiler:the Coach]]) is around.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She's no doubt a bully, but she was just as upset as the others when they thought Gumball kissed Carmen in front of Alan.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Although she's easy to mistake as a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal because her shirt is so similar to her skin in color.
* InformedAbility: The characters page on the official website describes her as being a bully because Ms. Simian [[HeldBackInSchool held her back a year]] so she developed an extreme resentment for authority and her new classmates, which was never mentioned in the show. It also says she is Tina's sidekick, but the two were only shown working together once in "The Fight" where Jamie's presence was not commented upon.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: She only apologized to Gumball when Coach came into the scene because she was afraid of getting into trouble, or Coach getting angry.
* PerpetualFrowner: Her default facial expression in season three is a frown. Before that she was, ironically, [[PerpetualSmiler almost always smiling]].
* RedHeadedBully: Her worst acts of bullying include feeding Anton (a piece of toast) to ducks, ripping Teri's (a paper doll) leg off and spitting it back at her ''a la'' a spitball, and turning Sarah and Banana Joe into an ice cream sundae while Sarah staggers around with no head and Joe screams.
* SillyWalk: She doesn't have knees, so she basically goose-steps when she walks.

[[folder:Juke]]

-->Voiced by Beatbox Hobbit (in music mode), Hugo Harold-Harrison (in voice mode)
A short humanoid with a boombox for a head.
----
[[hardline]]
* BigOlUnibrow: His buttons visually invoke a unibrow, but they do not [[ExpressiveMask move with his facial expressions]]. [[ArtEvolution In season two]] he [[SuddenAnatomy gains regular eyebrows]] when necessary.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: He's from some country in a continent called Boomboxembourg.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal
* LineBoil: Very subdued compared to most examples, but his outline shakes slightly.
* TheUnintelligible: He speaks (and ''writes'') in beat box and as a foreign exchange student everyone assumes he's speaking a foreign language. He actually ''knows'' how to speak English fine, but when a switch on his head is in the wrong position he can only play music instead of talking. Since he can't reach the switch or tell anyone else, it's been stuck like that for over two years.

[[folder:Leslie]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leslie_140.png
-->Voiced by Kerry Shale
A sensitive [[AnimateInanimateObject flower]].
----
[[hardline]]
* AmbiguouslyGay: Mostly blatantly shown in "The Mustache", when Gumball's butt suddenly becomes incredibly muscular and Leslie just stares. In "The Pressure", he's shown hanging out with a group of girls throughout the episode, with his presence never being noted; the other male characters mention him when talking about "the girls", and wordlessly joins in their expressions of interest in the idea of watching or kissing boys.
-->'''Leslie:''' There's a lot of things you don't know about me, Gumball.
* GenderBlenderName: Male, despite the name and appearance.
* {{Malaproper}}: He keeps mispronouncing things in "The Words", much to Darwin's annoyance.
* NiceGuy: He was very willing to forgive and make friends with Gumball after his insane feats of jealousy in "The Flower".
* PlantPerson: A walking, talking flower.
* RealMenWearPink: Leslie has pink flower petals and is the only male cheerleader of his school's team.
* StrawVegetarian: {{Inverted|Trope}}; as a plant, he refuses to eat vegetables and tries to bug Penny into ''only'' eating meat.

[[folder:Masami]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s2masami_6697.png
-->Voiced by Jessica [=MacDonald=]
A [[AnimateInanimateObject white cloud]] obsessed with popularity and generally having her way.
----
[[hardline]]
* BlackBeadEyes: Her eyes actually appear to be a pair of holes in her face, but give this appearance.
* AttentionWhore: Masami is always trying to impress the other girls, faking a relationship with Darwin to seem more mature and partially being interested in Alan because she thought they'd make a popular couple.
* FlyingFace: She has no limbs, just a face on a cloud.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When she's angry, her eyes have an electric glow to them.
* JerkAss: The most consistently bitchy character in the show.
* ManipulativeBastard: Forces Darwin to be her boyfriend and then fake-cries to make him feel guilty when he tries to break it off then. After Gumball accidentally breaks up Carmen and Alan, she pretends to help them get back together with an OperationJealousy, but she actually wanted to be with Alan and tried to blackmail Gumball into keeping quiet.
* PetTheDog: In "The Tape", she lends her cell phone to Tobias so he can call his mother. She missed the point of his pick-up line, but it ''was'' uncharacteristically nice of her.
* RichBitch: {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Darwin in "The Words". One of the lyrics in his song, "What He Thinks About Us," states that Masami only has friends because she's from a rich family.
* SpoiledBrat: Daughter of the rainbow factory owner and has a smug sense of superiority.
* WeatherManipulation: Can pull off minor things like raining and lightning at will, and when she's really angry she can generate a stormy tornado around herself.
* {{Yandere}}: She lies to hook up with Alan in "The Storm" and starts destroying the school when he breaks up with her. She stops once she realizes he's "such a wet cheeseball" and loses interest.

-->Voiced by Jessica [=MacDonald=]
A dorky, black, boxy-looking [[FunnyAnimal sauropod]] who mostly appeared in season one. After being absent in season two, she appeared again in "The Void" with an explanation of why she was gone and why no one realized it.
----
[[hardline]]
* TheBusCameBack: Reappears in "The Void." [[spoiler:Apparently the dynamics of the world deemed her too boring so she got sucked into a void full of bad ideas. Darwin, Mr. Small, and Gumball manage to get her out, and she's eventually seen back in the backgrounds again later in the season, even though she doesn't appear in classroom scenes that often]].
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Disappears entirely from Miss Simian's class without explanation in season two, save for a single cameo in the background of a photo in "The Words".
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: A sauropod, although she looks more like a CartoonCreature.
* RetGone: [[spoiler:The reason for her disappearance]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ocho]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s2ocho_3443.png
-->Voiced by Max Cazier
A very-intense spider [[RefugeeFromTVLand from a late 1970s video game]], similar to the aliens from ''Space Invaders''.
----
[[hardline]]
* AxCrazy: He could kill you for the slightest offense.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He hasn't made a proper appearance since "The Tape", which was a Season 2 episode.
* TheDreaded: Gumball lives in fear of the guy when he's near. For good reason.
* FourLeggedInsect: A six-legged spider, but since he's a video game character this was probably an in-universe example caused by sprite limitations.
* HairTriggerTemper: He literally tries to kill Gumball for insulting him. [[ObliviouslyEvil He is not aware this kind of behavior is inappropriate]] because people are too terrified to give an honest answer whenever he asks if he's overreacted.
* MeaningfulName: Ocho is Spanish for Eight, like an 8-bit video game processor, though Ocho is based on [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfVideoGames a graphical style]] that's even older than [[UsefulNotes/The8bitEraOfConsoleVideoGames the games most people think of as "8-bit"]]. Spiders are known to have eight legs, though [[FourLeggedInsect he doesn't]].
* SuddenlyVoiced: He speaks normally in season two.

-->Voiced by Teresa Gallagher
A good-natured [[AnimateInanimateObject peanut]] [[MixAndMatchCreatures with antlers.]] [[spoiler:Underneath the peanut shell, she's some sort of ghost-like shapeshifter with antlers.]]
----
[[hardline]]
* ArtEvolution: Went from [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111212062218/theamazingworldofgumball/images/thumb/f/f1/ThePressure9.png/300px-ThePressure9.png this]] during season 1, to what you see above in season 2 up until the season three episode "The Shell."
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Only wears shoes and a sweatband on her arms. [[spoiler:After she literally broke out of her shell and revealed that she's a shape-shifting spirit, she no longer wears any clothing normally, but puts the sweatbands back on (plus a third one on her head) when cheerleading.]]
* BeautifulAllAlong: [[spoiler: In "The Shell", it's shown that Penny is a flying, multicolored creature with wings, who morphs into different shapes depending on her mood. Gumball definitely thinks she looks "extraordinary". Penny wasn't by any means "ugly" before, just decent-looking, compared to the form she was hiding beneath.]]
* BlackBeadEyes: Like Masami, her eyes have the appearance of Black Bead Eyes, but actually seem to be holes in her shell--Gumball once said she looked like a "coconut with holes in it". Given her shell turns out to be removable, it could be considered a form of ExpressiveMask.
* TheCheerleader: She is, technically, a cheerleader. But the malicious version described in this trope is averted.
* InterspeciesRomance: With Gumball.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: [[spoiler:Her real form inside her shell. How she looks [[PsychoactivePowers depends upon her self-image]] and possibly other emotions, from a rabbit, to a dragon, to a form that looks somewhat similar to how she was with the shell still on. Being distressed or confused causes her to [[ShapeshifterSwanSong rapidly change between forms]]. She still always [[MorphicResonance has antlers]], though.]]
* LittleMissSnarker: Penny can be amazingly snarky when putting down [[CasanovaWannabe Tobias]].
* MoralityPet: {{Downplayed}}. While Gumball is far from anything evil or even a straight {{Jerkass}}, Penny is probably the only person he never speaks sarcastically or cynically towards.
* NiceGirl: Popular, cheerleader, and sweet as can be. In "The Bros", she told Gumball she needed space just so he and Darwin can have time to repair their friendship as the latter was very envious about Penny getting attention from him and she doesn't hold a grudge about it since she also cares for Darwin's well-being.
* NotSoAboveItAll: The end of "The Flower" shows she's capable of the same illogical jealously that Gumball had been going through.
* OfficialCouple: with Gumball
* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler:After their BigDamnKiss at the end of "The Shell" she and Gumball are now dating.]]
* TheRunaway: In "The Shell", she decides to run away from home and [[spoiler:go live in the forest, because she believes everyone, even her dad, thinks she's a monster. Gumball convinces her to come back.]]
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: [[spoiler:It's not clear whether it's a Type A or B, but when she isn't worried about what other people think of her, under her shell she looks similar to how she did with it on, but with red and orange skin, a larger head, [[WingsDoNothing static]] wing-like appendages, and [[PowerpuffGirlHands no hands or feet]].]]
* SingleTargetSexuality: The only person Penny is romantically interested in is Gumball.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Penny is romantically interested in the fundamentally good guy, Gumball. [[spoiler:They become an OfficialCouple after Gumball convinces her she's not the monster she thinks she is.]]
** In "The Sweaters", after she finds out that Gumball (along with Darwin) was challenged to a tennis fight with two kids from Richwood High she gave this bit of dialogue:
-->''Gumball! I heard you're gonna sacrifice yourself to save the school. I know it's heroic and selfless and- (looks aside) kind of attractive. ''
** On their [[spoiler:first date in "The Burden"]], Penny also liked Gumball showing his paternal side to the school's pet hamster. Heck, she even called his side ''"attractive"''.
* SmittenTeenageGirl: With Gumball. Technically, Pennny is "tweenage".
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Penny is always shown as being taller than Gumball, though by how much varies by scene.
* TwiceShy: Her feelings for Gumball are mutual, but both struggle to confess to each other. [[spoiler: As of "The Shell", they're official.]]

An [[AnthropomorphicFood ice cream scoop in a cone]] who transferred to Elmore Junior High in the second season.
----
[[hardline]]
* AscendedExtra: She was a background character until late in season 2.
* BlushSticker: She has oval-shaped ones on her cheeks at all times.
* HeldBackInSchool: Strangely, she's in Ms. Simian's 7th grade class even though she was previous attending Richwood ''High'', [[FridgeLogic which would imply her transfer involved going back at least two grades]]. This is probably just an oversight on the writers' part.
* HugeSchoolgirl: With the exception of Tina, she's the tallest girl at the school.
* TheMillstone: In "The Sweaters", she keeps pushing for Darwin and Gumball to fight the kids from her old school, [[HypocriticalHumor despite saying they're not to be messed with]], even going behind Gumball and Darwin's backs to provoke them. Some of the pictures in "The Fan" implied Sarah was stalking Darwin and Gumball even before transferring to Elmore, so it's a strong possibility she was solely responsible for Gumball and Darwin's "reputation" at said school that brought the pair in the first place.
-->'''Gumball:''' (watching Sarah hanging around his house) This girl's trouble, man.
* LoonyFan: She's obsessed with following Darwin and Gumball's adventures, sometimes trying to get them into more or fit herself into them.
* LosingYourHead: The ice cream part of her can fall off the cone (as seen in "The Coach" and "The Allergy"), but it doesn't seem to do anything to her. Her body can even move independently, though this is difficult for obvious reasons.
* NewTransferStudent: In "The Sweaters" it's explained she transferred to Elmore Junior High from Richwood High. In "The Fan" she lets it slip that she transferred just to be closer to Darwin and Gumball.
* PunnyName: A gelato (G. Lato) is a frozen Italian dessert that's a lot like ice cream, though Sarah is modeled after American-style ice cream.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Sarah showed up in the background of most of season two, [[InvertedTrope but was introduced in one of the season's last episodes ("The Sweaters") as if she's just transferred then]]. Her one speaking role before that in "The Voice" did show that Darwin and Gumball didn't know her yet.
* SphereEyes
* StalkerWithACrush: Her fascination with Gumball and Darwin goes UpToEleven in "The Fan", including a StalkerShrine and video of her watching them in secret.
* StrawFan: She has a lot of traits of a stereotypical fangirl: she draws [[TerribleArtist very bad]] {{animesque}} fanart and writes overly-dramatic, romantic fanfiction about Gumball, Darwin, [[SelfInsertFic and herself]]. Darwin and Gumball end up humoring her and acting it out to cheer her up (before tearing it to shreds).
* Tuckerization: She is [[http://imaginationstudios.cartoonnetwork.co.uk/video/meet-the-executive-producer-of-gumball/ named after]] the series' executive producer, Sarah Fell.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Aggressively so. Sarah tends to force the boys into whatever kind of story strikes her fancy that week. She even brings her own soundtrack.

An obnoxious live-action [[CartoonCreature chin puppet]] who can't stop eating and is considered gross and a bit of an outcast.
----
[[hardline]]
* {{All Loving Hero}}ine: "Sussie likes everything in the world".
* BigEater: Rarely seen not eating.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She acts extremely spacey. At one point she held a party and "practiced" welcoming guest by randomly opening the door to greet thin air.
* FatBastard: Less bastard and more just plain annoying and gross.
* FatIdiot: Moreso in season 2.
* FatSlob: Complete with JabbaTableManners.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Her lower half is shown [[http://theamazingworldofgumball.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ponything.png extremely few times]], but these times show she wears shoes.
* HiddenDepths: In "The Question," she turns out to be more philosophical than she lets out, citing probably the most insightful answer to Gumball and Darwin's question of what's the meaning of life[[note]]that's it's not about the destination; it's about the journey and who you meet along the way and what you decide to do with your life to get the most out of it[[/note]]. She also implies [[SmarterThanYouLook she actually isn't stupid]], she just acts that way because [[ItAmusedMe to her, that's how she enjoys and finds meaning in her life]].
* KindheartedSimpleton: Despite her kookiness, she is (with the exception of Penny), Miss Simian's nicest student.

A [[AnimateInanimateObject paper cutout]] of a teddy bear girl. Very afraid of germs and catching disease, much to the annoyance of the school nurse.
----
[[hardline]]
* BarefootCartoonAnimal[=/=]FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: Her design isn't detailed enough around the feet to tell if she's supposed to be wearing shoes. Technically she isn't wearing ''any'' clothes, just part of her body shaped like a skirt and drawn-on details that indicate clothing.
* BearyFriendly: She's definitely not violent or intimidating (being about as strong as you'd expect a crumpled piece of paper to be) and is on the school's cheer team, though her obsessive, somewhat egocentric behavior gets on people's nerves.
* TheChewToy: She becomes victim to an incredible amount of physical trauma in season three, likely because being made of paper makes it all BloodlessCarnage. This includes having a hole burned into her face, one arm being torn off by Miss Simian during the Joy virus attack, Jamie ripping off one of her legs, chewing it, and spitting it in her face, and being impaled on Carmen's needles.
* FaceDoodling: Does this to herself at times when necessary (e.g. "The Virus", where she draws tears under her eyes to represent crying, and later draws a surgical mask over her mouth) and was seen passed out and drawn on in "The Party." [[JustifiedTrope Her paper body gives her the capability of erasing face doodles quite easily]].
* {{Hypochondria}}: Much to the annoyance of the school nurse.
-->'''Teri:''' I can feel myself getting ill... \\
'''Nurse:''' Hmm, like Monday, when you thought the foam in your mouth was rabies only to discover it was toothpaste? Or Tuesday, when you thought you broke your leg even though you don't have any bones? Or yesterday, when you thought you'd gone deaf because nobody had spoken to you for five minutes.
* IllGirl: Or at least that what she's worried about being.
* MadLibsCatchPhrase: "You do know that [noun] has more germs on it than a toilet seat?"
* MotorMouth: When something cause her to talk about disease, Teri tends to go on a detailed clip without any letting anyone else talk.
* PaperPeople: A crumpled-up one.
* PunnyName: Being made of paper, she is very "tear-y".
* SkintoneSclerae: Like Alan, she has a drawn-on face with no coloring, though in this case that just happens to make her sclerae white.
* TerrifiedOfGerms: She's constantly spraying things clean while talking about how many germs are covering everything. This is apparently a result of her looking at a lot of pictures of infections her doctor mother posted on her medical website.

A 3D [[FunnyAnimal Tyrannosaurus rex]] bully, though despite her fearsome appearance, she's only a bully because everyone expects her to be like her father (who is said to be worse than her).
----
[[hardline]]
* ArtEvolution: In Season 1, she originally had a cartoon-like design similar to the old T-Rex depictions. In Season 2, she is given a more realistic design similar to modern T-Rex depictions.

* DemotedToExtra: Tina is one of the only classmates of Gumball's to have become ''less'' prominent as the show has progressed: In the first season, she was one of the more frequently recurring characters in Elmore Junior High and had two episodes centered around her ("The Quest" and "The Fight"). In the second season, she still appeared normally, but the one episode planned to be about her was scrapped. In the third season, she is seen and talks fairly rarely.
* TheDreaded: Not just the students, but the school's ''counselor'' are terrified of her.
* FemaleMonsterSurprise: The other character have all known her long enough to know Tina is a girl, but her male voice and monstrous, gender-neutral appearance definitely lead most viewers to think she's male until stated otherwise.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Her name is Tina, but with her last name it becomes NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast.
* GonkyFemme: Tina doesn't normally act very feminine, but she did try to be in the cheerleading squad and was upset when Darwin told her trying to act girly doesn't work for a huge tyrannosaurus.
-->'''Darwin:''' And how about you clip those stupid nails?! They're not gonna make you look more feminine. In case you haven't noticed, you're a ten ton sack of reptile flesh!
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Not the case, especially not when her dad gets involved...
* HiddenDepths: Tina apparently dreams of being a pianist.
* IAmNotMyFather:
-->'''Tina:''' Everyone thinks I'm a brute, just like my dad. ''But I'm not!''\\
''([[IResembleThatRemark Tina kicks a scrap car away]])''
* JerkassFacade: It is revealed in "The Fight" that she wasn't intentionally bullying Gumball, she just acts that way because of her scary father and the fact that it is what people expect when they see a T-rex that [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength Does Not Know Her Own Strength.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She shows shades of this from time to time.
* LarynxDissonance: Has a very deep male voice (and is voiced by a man), due to being a Tyrannosaurus.
* MeaningfulName[=/=]PunnyName: T.(na) Rex the T. Rex
* TyrannosaurusRex: The only T. rex in her school.

-->Voiced by Rupert Degas (season 1), Hugo Harold-Harrison (season 2 onward)
A [[CartoonCreature many-colored stylized cloud]] with a very overinflated self-image.
----
[[hardline]]
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Only wears shoes and sweatbands around his wrist and forehead.
* CasanovaWannabe: Showed hints of this in the second season, especially when he tried to make a video about talking to girls in "The Tape". By the third season, he's hitting on and being rejected by every girl in school. He's basically the only person in the whole show [[NiceGirl Penny]] is ''not'' nice to.
* {{Cephalothorax}}
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Applies not so much to him as to how everyone else treats him: during his first appearance in "The Third", it's pretty obvious to the audience that he's not as great as he claims, yet [[FakeUltimateHero everyone thinks he's genuinely cool and interesting.]] In seasons two and three, he usually portrayed as one of the least popular people in the whole school, despite being a jock.
* DumbJock: Tobias isn't very smart.
* JerkJock: He definitely ''thinks'' he's a jock, and can be pretty well a jerk.
* HopelessSuitor: He constantly goes after Penny in "The Knight", despite her openly rejecting him at every opportunity. His attempts are so hopeless that [[CrazyJealousGuy Gumball]], the guy who was furious over a ''dream'' of Darwin kissing Penny, doesn't see Tobias as any kind of romantic competition.
* NotAZombie: Inverted in "The Joy", as being ignored by all the girls left him the only one not infected with the happiness virus that gives you rainbow drool, but his technicolor appearance made Miss Simian think he was anyway (possibly that's why none of the male infected bothered him either).
* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks he's super athletic and popular, but he's incredibly scrawny, all the girls hate him, and he's generally thought of as a loser. In "The Voice" he [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall can't understand why]] everything important happens to [[WeirdnessMagnet Gumball]], and thinks [[WrongGenreSavvy if anyone should be the main character it should be him.]]
* {{Tuckerization}}: His name [[https://twitter.com/benbocquelet/status/316286786622070784 comes from]] Tobi Wilson, one of the show's writers.

A winged eyeball that never talks because he doesn't have a mouth.

* BewareTheQuietOnes: [[spoiler:He's incredibly powerful and dangerous ''because'' he can't talk, but doesn't know it.]]
* FacelessEye
* {{Flight}}
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[spoiler:He was the one after Darwin and Gumball in "The Voice" because he ask them to be friends, they didn't understand him, and seemed to reject him.]]
* TheInformant[=/=]TeachersPet: Described as such for Ms. Simian on the website, but he never does in the actual show (and it seems he ''can't'' because he can't talk).
* MindOverMatter: [[spoiler:He has telekinesis that's strong enough to crush lockers and smash down walls.]]
* {{Oculothorax}}: An eyeball with wings, though he can still blink with fleshy eyelids [[SuddenAnatomy that sudden appear when he needs them]].
* TheSpeechless: He can't speak because he has NoMouth, [[spoiler:but until the end of "The Voice" he didn't know that and assumed everyone was just ignoring him.]]
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: [[spoiler:His internal monologue is provided by the show's director, who is clearly trying to mask his British accent but doesn't quite sound American either, or trying to do an impression of AlanRickman and not quite getting it. Whatever it is, it arguably makes him sound creepier.]]

!!Rob/Dr. Wrecker
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robcyclops.png
[[caption-width-right:320:[[labelnote:Click here to see him as Dr. Wrecker.]]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thumbnail_1179955271740432686.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]
-->Voiced by Hugo Harold-Harrison (season 2, season 3, "The Nemesis" pre-voice change), Creator/DavidWarner ("The Nemesis" post-voice change)
A skinny blue cyclops. Was seen often in season one and rarely in season two (his last major appearance was in "The Pony"). He appeared in the background of the dimension of the world's mistakes in "The Void" and "The Nobody" established that he escaped the void and is seeking revenge for being ignored.
----
[[hardline]]
* ArtEvolution: He was CGI in his background appearances in the first season, but in the second season he switches to a 2D design. In season three's "The Nobody," he returns and is back to being in CGI, but the CGI is more well-done than it was in season one.
* AscendedExtra: His first speaking line is mid Season Two, but he appears before that as a background character
* BigBad: Since Rob needed a new place in life and Elmore basically only had room for villains, he decides to become Gumball and Darwin's ArchNemesis.
* BodyHorror: Escaping from the void caused his body to become all [[OminousVisualGlitch glitchy]] and disfigured. Part of his body even displays the void's background pattern.
* ChekhovsGunman: His cameo in "The Void" turns out to be significant in "The Nobody".
* {{Cyclops}}
* EvilBrit: Rob let Darwin and Gumball change his voice to one with a British accent [[InvokedTrope specifically because they thought it would be a better "evil" voice]].
* FromNobodyToNightmare: After coming back from the void but not remembering who he is, Rob literally calls himself "nobody". Darwin and Gumball suggest he strive for a new place in the world as the worst person ever. Rob then remembers who he is and how they left him behind in the void, and swears to take revenge by destroying everything they care about and taking away everyone they love.
* HarmlessVillain: After swearing vengeance in "The Nobody", Rob's evil plans are all so self-defeating that Gumball and Darwin don't even notice them, and they help Rob [[TookALevelInBadass become more threatening]] in "The Nemesis". His plan to destroy Elmore's dam fails because Elmore doesn't ''have'' a dam, but the ending implies his increased confidence may make him a genuine threat.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal
* MeaningfulRename: Since "[[TomTheDarkLord Rob]]" wasn't exactly a great villain name, Gumball and Darwin come up with a bunch of new names for him to go by. After many terrible ones they come up with "[[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Dr.]] Wrecker".
* TheNondescript: After Darwin and Gumball stop talking to him, they immediately forget who he was or that they even met him. It really says a lot about [[WorldOfWeirdness Elmore]] and [[CastOfSnowflakes it inhabitants]] that a ''blue cyclops'' is considered "nondescript".
* TheNthDoctor: In "The Nemesis", part of Darwin and Gumball's attempt make him a better enemy is to give him a more intimidating voice. His partially-static body could be altered by a television remote, causing him to change voice actor from Hugo Harold-Harrison to Creator/DavidWarner.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: According to "The Nobody":
-->'''Gumball:''' Oh, you know what else is thick? Your mom's chin! \\
'''Rob:''' I don't have a mom.\\
'''Gumball:''' Yeah. I meant your mom's skin. \\
'''Rob:''' I still don't have a mom.
* PutOnABusToHell: He's seen floating around the bad idea dimension in "The Void", indicating he was RetGone. Unlike Molly, Gumball and Darwin do not remember him, so he ends up being left there without comment -- [[TheBusCameBack until it was revealed]] that he actually broke out of the void and has been living in the Wattersons' basement with no memory of who he was until Gumball and Darwin tell him that he can be their worst enemy.
* UnknownRival: Even after he swears to be Darwin and Gumball's nemesis, they still ignore him and immediately forget about him for a long time.
* WalkingSpoiler: The fact that he has any plot significance at all is a rather huge spoiler for "The Nobody" and possibly more.
