* GoGetterGirl: She combines her father's ambition with her mother's common sense. Also, she gets good grades in school and gets along with her peers.
* GreenEyedMonster: She becomes this in "Poetic Justice" when Dijonay improves at poetry and becomes just as good as her.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Her two best friends constantly betray her, belittle her and scheme behind her back, and yet Penny never decides to just ditch them. Penny later explains to Maya in ''Louder and Prouder'' that the one thing she can count on, is that they at least most of the time, they respect her for being her.
* InformedDeformity: She supposedly has a large forehead, and it would be if her eyebrows weren't so high up, making it look rather normal.
* JerkassBall: Penny holds on to this in certain episodes, such as "Poetic Justice" when she starts being a jerk to Dijonay due to jealousy or in “Pulp Boot Camp” where she goes native.
* LaserGuidedKarma / YouAreGrounded: Penny is often at the receiving end of this when her secretive plans (as seen in "Rumors" and "Tween Town") go exposed by her parents.
* LastNameBasis: [=LaCienega=] usually refers to her as "Proud" to emphasize that she doesn't consider Penny a friend. Nubia Gross also usually calls her "Proud", but everyone else calls her "Penny".
* LonelyAtTheTop: In "A Star Is Scorned", she trades success for her friends. And while she does become successful, her friends refuse to talk to her and Penny ends up missing her old life and friends.
* LovableJock: Penny excels at basketball, baseball, and football. The last two of which she was on a team. And she still remains a decent person.
* MoralityPet: Penny is the only person that Chester treats well (as she saved him from drowning earlier in the episode). Though he can still get upset at her if she doesn't give him what he wants.
* NeverMyFault: Despite being the OnlySaneWoman, Penny usually subverts this trope. She normally refuses to admit her mistakes, but comes to apologize and feel remorse for her actions at the end of the episode. Examples:
** "Tween Town": when she is grounded for lying to her parents about going to a night club, Penny spends the first half of the episode moping and complaining about her parents. She ignores the fact that had she not lied to her parents, she wouldn't have been on punishment in the first place. She also wishes for the adults to disappear out of spite.
** She also didn't feel like she did anything wrong when she was proven wrong about Oscar wanting to have an affair with Debra Williams, Trudy's old college roommate. Sure Penny was correct to be suspicious, but she was very rude to the lady and she flat out called her a homewrecker.
* NiceGirl: She's usually a caring, polite, and selfless person, with it being rare for her to catch the JerkassBall.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Falls victim to peer pressure a few times. She sometimes goes along with whatever her friends do, whether they are right or wrong.
* OnlySaneWoman: Often shares this role with her mother, or else they trade off depending on the episode.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: In "Pulp Boot Camp", she acts very rude and disrespectful to her parents and Suga Mama. She also turns against her friends and bullies them along with the Gross Sisters. She eventually gets sent to Boot Camp and then realizes the errors of her ways when the Gross Sisters refuse to house her and tell her that the fact that since she was sent to boot camp, she was a hardened thug instead of a regular bully.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her outfit is mostly pink.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Was initially afraid of the Zamin family from Culture Shock.
* ProperlyParanoid:
** In "Thelma and Luis", when she finds out that the retirement home that Papi stayed in was actually a prison. She was right all along, but the adults didn't believe her (except for Suga Mama). She was proven right at the end of the episode, though.
** In "Teacher's Pet", Penny's teacher, Miss Dinkins gives her report on Hillary Clinton a failing grade, despite the paper being excellent in quality. Penny concludes that her teacher has a personal grudge against her, which gets her a lecture from her mother about "making excuses"... which it turns out Penny actually ''wasn't'', because Miss Dinkins ''did'' give her an unfair grade, but [[RightForTheWrongReasons not precisely because of a grudge against Penny]]. Actually, Miss Dinkins had a grudge against ''Suga Mama'', which she took out on Penny.
** Subverted in "Ain't Nothing but The Real Thingy, Baby". Penny was very suspicious of the fact that Oscar and were having an affair with Trudy's old college roommate, Debra Williams. It also helped that Oscar did show signs that he was willing to do so. In the end, she was proven wrong.
* SassyBlackWoman: She fits this trope to a tee. If something's really bad, she'll start sassing this place up.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Penny comes to this conclusion in "Forbidden Date" when she and Oscar have talk at the end of the episode to discuss why he's so against her dating yet.
-->'''Penny:''' It's not like that daddy. I'm a different woman after tonight. When I first saw [[BigFun Carlos]] I thought, "This definitely won't be my first love." But as the date when on, I found another side. He's smart, warm, funny, sweet, brave. Actually, he reminded me a lot of you, daddy.
-->'''Oscar:''' That big guy?
-->'''Penny:''' Yeah, he's a good person. And that's what important. Not how cute a guy is, how much ice he's wearing, what kind of car he drives.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: The fact that she's the second biggest ButtMonkey of the show behind her father, as well as being on the receiving end of slapstick about 70% of the episodes, places her solely on this trope. In fact, she pretty much took after her father's slapstick.
* StrawFeminist: Occasionally for laughs, and normally to gang up with Suga Mama and Trudy against her father.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: It's been said by her grandparents that Penny looks a lot like Trudy.
* TeamMom: She tends to take on this role among her group of friends. Most notably in "Tween Town".
* TookALevelInJerkass: Penny took this trope to a great extent in "Pulp Boot Camp". But this is {{Deconstructed}} as she was merely going undercover for her article.
* TheUnfavourite: Penny gets this when [=BeBe=] and [=CeCe=] are magically aged into teenagers. Her own mother even tells this directly to her face.
* VillainProtagonist: She becomes this in the second half of “Pulp Boot Camp”, which documents her turn to the DarkSide as she looks for a way to write a compelling article that will get her on the staff of the ''Checkered Flag Times''.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Penny is mature for her age and is more levelheaded than most middle schoolers, whereas her father is playful, immature, and childish.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Dijonay, [=LaCienega=] and Zoe after Penny's FaceHeelTurn in "A Star is Scorned".
* WideEyedIdealist: Throughout the show, she kept an upbeat disposition of helping and inspiring other people with little or some want of personal gain.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Her friends include a supposed best friend with ChronicBackStabbingDisorder (Dijonay) and a ShrinkingViolet (Zoey) who always lets herself be pressured by the other two.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2e7b9a0f_67d7_45d1_a8b4_069e1f9f7efb.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TommyDavidson

Penny's overprotective father. While he loves his family, he sees money before non-material happiness.
----
* AchievementsInIgnorance: You'd be surprised how often he warps the laws of physics by simply being so inept at whatever he's doing.
* AesopAmnesia: Every time Oscar is given an Aesop about how he shouldn’t be so protective of Penny in an episode, the aesop ends up not sticking and he goes back to being overprotective in the next episode.
* AfraidOfNeedles: Poor guy was attempting to run from a shot by Dr. Payne in one episode.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Penny views Oscar as this due to him acting immature for his age. He seems pretty shameless about it.
* BerserkButton: Don't mention "Penny" and "boys" near him.
* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: Deconstructed. Has an abusive mom in the form of Suga Momma (who beats him for speaking out of turn and belittles him while favoring his n'er do well Manchild brother Bobby), overcompensates as an overprotective father of a teenage daughter.
* TheBully: Is revealed to be this in middle school in the episode “Teacher’s Pet” when one of his victims, Dave Foreman, turned out to be an owner of a private school Oscar and Trudy wanted to enroll the twins in.
* BullyingADragon: Oscar sometimes foolishly provokes people and/or animals that are bigger and/or stronger than him to anger. Considering Oscar's ButtMonkey status, it usually goes as well as you would expect.
* BullyMagnet: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] He's just a victim of slapstick as an adult. In middle school, ''he'' was the bully.
* BumblingDad: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] Despite being a clumsy goofball, parenting may be one of the few things he's good at, though he tends to treat Penny like a little kid at times.
* ButtMonkey: On the receiving end of 90% of the slapstick the show has to offer.
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: With the amount of punishment he receives, you'd think he'd be a saint by now. But of course, it wouldn't be much of a show if that were the case.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** "TRUDAAAAAYY!!" or "MAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" whenever he is (or is about to be) on the receiving end of some slapstick.
** Another catchphrase of his is "One swallow would make ya taste buds holla!". He says this to others to promote his snacks… which produce toxic side effects.
* TheChewToy: Yes, plenty of fans enjoy seeing Oscar suffer, only when he deserves it.
* CosmicPlaything: Often, it seems that the universe is out to make Oscar suffer in absurdly humiliating ways. For instance, it wasn't enough for his infamous basketball moment to be a standard missed shot. ''It had to roll around the basket's rim before somehow flying across the entire court and into the opposing team's basket to give them the win.''
* CrazyJealousGuy: Oscar does ''not'' like it when any man flirts with his wife.
* DeadpanSnarker: Constantly, which usually puts him on the bad end of Suga Mama's cane.
* TheDeterminator: He keeps on making snacks despite how ''horrible'' they are, and yet he keeps on chugging.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: In the episode “It Takes a Thief” when Oscar visits the zoo, Oscar admits to torturing an elephant named Jumbo with his friends. When Jumbo sees him again, [[DoNotTauntCthulhu it doesn't end well for Oscar]].
* DitzyGenius: Oscar is very intelligent, but he acts ditzy and immature for his age.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: As a consistent source of ridicule and mockery by family and others because of his terrible food products and history of failures, Oscar craves respect and notoriety which he outright stated when he wasn’t credited in creating a scavenger hunt competition for Wizard Kelly.
* FatAndSkinny: The skinny to Felix's fat.
* {{Flanderization}}: His negative traits are taken UpToEleven in Louder and Prouder.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible (owns his own house and constantly tries to improve his career) to Bobby's foolish (still lives with his mother and has no job).
* FreudianExcuse: In a rare example, it's strongly implied that the reason he is overprotective of Penny is because Suga Mama never seemed to protect him when he was Penny's age.
* FryingPanOfDoom: Tries to hit a mouse with a frying pan in the episode "Don't Leave Home Without It", but ends up smacking his face instead. He even gets hit in the head with a frying Pan in the opening of "Rumors".
* GeniusDitz: His attempts at new snack recipes occasionally reach MadScientist levels, spawning a SuperSerum in "A Hero for Halloween" and a perpetual multiplying formula in the movie.
* GiftedlyBad: His snacks are notorious for being horrible, yet they reach a level beyond simple culinary incompetence that suggest Oscar is simply in the wrong business.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: He wears a pair of Thingy underwear in "Hooray for Iesha".
* HenpeckedHusband: Trudy wears the pants in their marriage and even threatens harm on Oscar so she can get her way whenever they have a disagreement.
* HollywoodEconomics: Oscar runs a factory for his snacks and the only staff are himself and Mr. Chips the monkey. Considering how poorly his product does, and how abysmal his financial situation is compared to Wizard Kelly or the Boulevardezes, it would otherwise be impossible for him to maintain his factory even with free labor from a skilled monkey.
* JerkassBall: On the Christmas special, he acts meaner than usual (even though it wasn't really polite for the homeless people to keep coming back to his house uninvited). He does come around by the end, however.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While Oscar can be too obnoxious and carried away with his overprotectiveness, he is right about certain things.
** He was also right to be angry with Penny in "Hip-Hop Helicopter" for wearing skimpy clothes on television. The clothes were too revealing for a middle school girl to be wearing, and Trudy even points it out (but then again, he should have been less hostile with his anger). He was also right to ground her for wearing the clothes again after he and Trudy told her not to wear it.
** When Puff went missing, Trudy attempts to blame him for it. However, Oscar pointedly states that he ''had'' intended to look after Puff on "Oscar Day" but Trudy wanted him to go shopping with her.
** While his suspicions of Chester the Duck was initially out of anger for said duck eating his cobbler pie, Oscar stated he didn't have a good feeling about him. And, he was right.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sure Oscar may act obnoxious, immature, money-hungry and is sort of a bumbling husband/father who often feels attractions to hot women. However, what he is a well-meaning person and deeply loves and cares for his family. He often gives rude and harsh remarks towards his mother but is still protective of her and cares about her well-being.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Combined with DeadpanSnarker in "Tween Town".
-->'''Oscar:''' You did all those things because you are on a punishment which comes from the Latin word "puni" which means "no movies" and the Latin word "ment" which means "I meant it!".
* LargeHam: There's not one episode that doesn't have Oscar chewing the scenery.
* LethalChef: His Proud Snax makes a lot of people either gag or feel sick after they eat them. The only one who likes them, however, is Peabo.
* ManChild: Oscar acts so immature for his age that even Penny (and Peabo) is more mature than he is most of the time.
* MenUseViolenceWomenUseCommunication: Oscar is the personification of this trope. Or at least he would be if he wasn't a huge wimp. And Trudy and Suga Mama have been known to use violence
* MistakenForCheating: In "Ain't Nothing But the Real Thingy, Baby", Penny suspects Oscar of cheating on Trudy with the latter's old college roommate, Debra Williams. It also helps that Oscar did show eagerness to visit Debra's house, which only supported Penny's suspicion. Penny is proven wrong at the end of the episode when Oscar and Debra explain why they were willing to communicate with each other, and there relationship was strictly platonic.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Mean to Trudy's nice and Suga Mama's in-between. He's always ill-tempered and hammy when he doesn't get what he wants.
* NoRespectGuy: All he really wants is to be a success. All it gets him is his head handed to him. Repeatedly.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Weirdly enough, he's the only character in the show with consistently defined pupils.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Oscar will never live down missing the shot at his high school basketball game. The moment is constantly brought up by Wizard Kelly.
* OverprotectiveDad: He's rabid about keeping Penny away from boys. His weakness for pretty girls implies that he might be projecting just a little bit.
* PapaWolf: Wherever Penny is concerned, he immediately grows a spine made of adamantium.
* PetTheDog: The few genuine examples is that he does care for Trudy and Penny. The one time he acts as a surrogate father is in "Love Thy Neighbor" when he gives some pep talk to [=LaCienega=] about her abnormally large feet.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: He's initially afraid of the Zamin family, who are Pakistani, and views them as abnormal weirdos.
* ProperlyParanoid: About the Talking Baby and his ability to talk, but nobody believes him.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Oscar fits into this at times despite his immaturity. A good example would be in "The Altos" when he takes a mentor role for Sticky.
* StrawLoser: Meager job, unsuccessful, unathletic, wimpy, and all around untalented. He all but exists to make Penny and Trudy look better by comparison.
* StrawMisogynist: Oscar has shades of this, such as thinking that football and basketball are only men's games.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: "Teacher's Pet" shows that Oscar got ''all'' of his looks from his father.
* TemptingFate: Oscar boldly - [[BullyingADragon albeit stupidly]] - tells Bebe and Cece the story of how he used to fire water guns at Jumbo the Elephant in the episode "It Takes a Thief". Jumbo is not mocked however and fires water from his trunk at Oscar, sending him into a lagoon of crocodiles.
* ThisLoserIsYou: A reasonably intelligent man who nonetheless is a perennial failure due to his stubbornness and obsession with becoming a successful businessman. He's basically a G-Rated [[Theatre/DeathOfASalesman Willy Loman]].
* ThrowTheDogABone: Oscar does get a victory every so often.
** "One in a Million" has him convincing Penny to take a ''very'' big risk by letting him take a basketball challenge in her place. He gets cheered by everyone, including Suga Mama, and does make the shot. It's borderline ruined when Wizard Kelly pulls some ExactWords to try and cheat Oscar out of any real gains but Penny points out some LoopholeAbuse that keeps it a firm win for Oscar.
** "Teacher's Pet" has Oscar having to put up with a former bullying victim forcing him to pay through the nose in order to consider the twins for a good school. After the man basically forces Oscar to let him dance with Trudy, he finally has enough and cuts in to tell the guy that he is through with his pettiness and leads Trudy away while apologizing for tanking the twins' chances. He winds up getting TheBigDamnKiss from his wife.
* TooDumbToLive: He often falls into this when he ignores advice given to him regarding his safety and ends up bringing some of the bad luck on himself and also going through near-death experiences.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Subverted. He's not ugly, but he is ''very'' skinny compared to Trudy's curvaceous body.
* TheUnfairSex: Trudy openly flirts with other men, but if Oscar were to do the same with women, Trudy will get upset.
* TheUnfavorite: Subverted. It's obvious that his mother prefers his older brother, but she makes it clear that she loves Oscar just as much. Unlike most cases he never seems bothered by his brother being favored and the two are shown as quite close, fully willing to help the other in any endeavor. Any vitriol he does have gets channeled towards Suga Mama for doing the favoring.
* UnknownRival: To Wizard Kelly, a rivalry that is so one-sided that it stretches the meaning of the word to its limit.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Oscar is wacky and immature compared to his daughter Penny who acts much more mature than him most of the time.
* WellDoneSonGuy: While they bicker frequently, it's more than likely he just wants Suga Mama to respect him. Even though she barely tolerates him, she does admit she's proud of him on occasion.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: It’s been shown and stated in a select few episodes that Oscar is afraid of heights.
* WouldntHitAGirl: The reason why Trudy and Suga Mama will always beat Oscar. This is pretty justified, as they are his family members.
* WouldntHurtAChild: In "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thingy, Baby", he doesn't try to attack all the babies when they repeatedly hit him in the face. Subverted when he tries to fight [[{{Jerkass}} the Talking Baby]].

[[quoteright:347:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a1c81843_4b9e_4e42_abc1_b0eeb0b34d82.png]]

Penny's mother. She works as a veterinarian and, according to Penny, keeps everything in the Proud household together.
----
* ButNotTooBlack: She's much lighter skinned than the rest of her family and the only light skinned black character in general.
* CatchPhrase: Usually when she is worried about her kids (or even Oscar), she'll often shout "MY BABIES".
* ClingyJealousGirl: Like how [[CrazyJealousGuy Oscar]] can be, Trudy can get easily jealous when he starts flirting with another woman.
* DaddysGirl: She is shown to go out of her way to please her parents when they come to visit, even keeping the house spic and span and taking out the TV to please her TV-hating father and prissy mother.
* ADayInTheLimelight: In "There's Something About Rene" where her position within the family as the housekeeper is explored. The episode is completly told from her perspective.
* DomesticAbuser: To Oscar, whom she strikes in frustration after he defies her one too many times. "Don't Leave Home Without It" shows Trudy at her worst when she finds out that Oscar paid Felix for "turning their house into a kite".
* DotingParent: She is arguably ''better'' than her husband in this regard. It doesn't help that she can be stern with Penny, as well as convincing her to do things right.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: She's a veterinarian. In one episode, she demands that Oscar get rid of a mouse in the house but expressly forbids him to kill it.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: With older sister Diana.
* GoodParents: Despite the occasional dysfunction, she is by far the most stable household in the series.
* HartmanHips: Has wide hips to show off her maturity.
* HotBlooded: When prompted, she acts just as emotional and tempered as Oscar.
* {{Hypocrite}}: She openly jokes and talks about cheating on Oscar with other men and repeatedly flirts with men in front of Oscar, but gets angry when Oscar does the same thing with other women. An infamous example is in "Ain’t Nothing Like The Real Thingy, Baby".
* ItsAllAboutMe: Things usually always go her way and Trudy gets angry when people protest against her ideas.
* JerkassBall: Anytime her bossiness and possessiveness clouds her judgement.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Trudy can get jealous on times as well as bossy, snobby and aggressive towards her family, but she is incredibly nice, kind, loving and friendly. Most of what she does, she does for other people especially her family. She cares deeply about them and really are the most important things to her.
* MamaBear: Once, she's even not-so-subtly compared to an actual bear in this regard.
* MenUseViolenceWomenUseCommunication: Usually. But she's not afraid to flip the script when pushed.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Nice to Oscar's mean and Suga Mama's in-between. She's the more sensible and rational member of the family who serves as a ReasonableAuthorityFigure.
* NotSoAboveItAll: She has her moments of acting just as immature and mean like Oscar.
* OnlySaneWoman: Often shares this role with Penny.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Compared to Oscar, who tends to be strict to the point of unfairness.
* SpoiledBrat: At her worst, she can come off as this.
* SupremeChef: Her cooked food usually looks delicious. This is best shown when she cooks Oscar his favorite things and the time when she invited her family over and two members ate all her food that everyone else was supposed to eat.
* {{Tsundere}}: She switches between Type A and B, depending on the episode. She also truly loves Oscar, but it's often hard to tell.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Oscar is all pencil-like and Trudy is very shapely.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: On her bad days, which happens way too often.
* UptownGirl: She was born into a significantly wealthier family, while her husband was not.
* VocalEvolution: In "Louder & Prouder", her voice is much deeper than it was in the original show.
* WomenAreWiser: Not that the men set the bar all that high.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JoMariePayton

Penny's paternal grandmother and the mother of Oscar. As a kid, she was involved in TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry with Spice, Oscar’s aunt. After Spice turned out to be a witch, Suga Mama got fed up and came to hate magic. As an adult, Suga Mama is a hip old woman who favors her oldest son Bobby over Oscar. She is not overtly nasty to Penny and Trudy, but she's very mean to Oscar in a catty sort of way. She also appears to be humorously athletic despite her age.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: She has the hots for Papi, who clearly does not feel the same, but since he only speaks Spanish, Suga Mama never catches on.
* AbusiveMom: Towards Oscar, physically and verbally (Oscar usually brings it on himself, but sometimes Suga Mama will make fun of him or hit him unprovoked).
* AffectionateNickname: Dr. Payne calls her "Suga Bear".
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: For all her mockery towards her son, Suga Mama will make it clear while she doesn't always like him, she will always love Oscar. She stands up to both Wizard Kelly and her sister Spice for him.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Her and Trudy's relationship is built on their compulsive need to keep Oscar under their thumb.
* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: She grew up being unfavored by her parents for her magical sister and argues that her favoritism of her sons wasn't as bad as her parents. She still cares for Oscar.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Spice's Cain.
* CoolOldLady: She's hip, can wrestle, a great baseball coach, and funny. Many of Penny's friends comment on how cool she is.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Hmm... Tastes Like...", which focuses on her relationship with Oscar. She even gets to sing a song in it!
* DeadpanSnarker: She is quick with the sarcastic comments, especially at Oscar's expense.
* DeathGlare: Gives an ice cold one to Penny in "Bad Influencer" after she finds about about narcissistic activities.
* DirtyOldWoman: Suga Mama has shades of this such as flirting with Coach Williams (who is implied to be years younger than her) and also forcing Dr. Carver to bathe with her in a jacuzzi due to her attraction to him. She also showed attraction to the wrestler Mongo (who is also implied to be twice her age).
* DoesNotLikeMagic: Suga Mama hates and fears anything having to do with magic. This applies to the telekinetic abilities of her sister Spice and an incident with Tristan the Magician in which he swapped her head with Puff’s.
* DotingGrandparent: Suga Mama has a close relationship with her elder granddaughter. She even acts as a surrogate grandmother, if not positive role model, to most of the show’s cast.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Literally everyone, including her family calls her Suga Mama. Hell, it may even be her actual name.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** She clearly doesn't like the Parker Family's visits, and who could blame her. She is obviously only doing this to please Trudy. In the episode "Behind Family Lines", she is visibly upset at Trudy's mother Maureen mistaking her for a maid. When Penny succeeds at bringing the two families closer together, Suga Mama regards her earlier behavior as a "downright embarrassment".
** She can’t go one episode without insulting Oscar, but she wouldn’t deceive him or use him for own personal gain, as shown in the episode with her sister. As she states to him, she may not always like him, but she always loves him.
** For all her flaws, she ''genuinely'' does love Oscar, even if her parenting made him the unsuccessful bully he would become, and her and Trudy’s relationship appears to be a fairly happy one.
* FatalFlaw: Her womanly short-temper and jealousy work against herself and her family at certain points.
* EyesAlwaysShut: She rarely shows her eyes, but she still can move around just fine. Well, that's because she's constantly squinting due to having poor eyesight, and her usual glasses (which she hasn’t bothered to change) are not sufficiently correcting her vision.
* FreudianExcuse: Her sister was born magical and she wasn't, leading her parents to favor Spice over her. In return, she favors her oldest son Bobby.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: With her older sister Spice.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: She, along with Puff and the Twins, are the protagonists of the "Proud Family Shorties".
* HeroesLoveDogs: Suga Mama has a close relationship to Puff and became utterly distraught when he went missing.
* HeroicBSOD: Not heroic per se, but she had one in "She Drives Me Crazy" due to her failing eyesight.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Becomes this as a way to cope with Spice being a witch, while she wasn't. Both her and her sons have a need to be as plain, and socially acceptable as humanly possible, preferring to sweep Spice and any mention of magic under the rug. Given Oscar's constant schemes failing and Bobby’s talent making him something of manchild, this is subverted.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: As a child. A good case can be made that she still wants to be special even as an old woman and that she is just overcompensating in her "normal life" because she is fully aware of it, which also leads to her treatment of Oscar.
* IWasQuiteALooker: [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131102184825/theproudfamily/images/c/c8/Young_Suga_Mama.jpg See for yourself.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: On her bad days, Suga Mama isn't certainly a pleasant (or the most pleasant) person, especially how she can treat her son and her family at times but has a good point to make at times.
** She usually comments on how she doesn't like Dijonay and how Penny shouldn't hang out with her. Considering the number of times Dijonay has ditched Penny and sold her out, Suga Mama is definitely not wrong.
** In "Penny Potter", while she's not nice to her sister's arrival, Suga Mama turns out to be right about Spice being up to no good.
* JerkassToOne: Suga Mama is friendly towards everybody on the show, but she is rude and condescending to Oscar, even when he does nothing to provoke her.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: When she protects Oscar from her older sister and shares a heartwarming moment with him. She also loves her other family members too.
* MamaBear:
** No matter how much Oscar may annoy her, should someone hurt him, she won't take it kindly. She even lampshades this in "Penny Potter" when Spice, her crooked older sister tries to scam Oscar.
** The same goes for anyone messing with Penny, she threatened to beat up the Gross Sisters and Wizard Kelly when they disrespected her granddaughter.
** In "Psycho Duck", she immediately goes to save Bobby from drowning.
* MadeOfIron: Even an old timer like her has seen herself in a lot of dangerous situations, and and she ends up surviving them. Oscar makes note of the things she 'has'' survived, as well as things she ''could'' survive.
* MisplacedKindergartenTeacher: Suga Mama seems to have the idea that Bobby is just a young prodigy and treats him accordingly. Bobby doesn't seem to mind, as it makes her easy to love him. In the case of Oscar, she drops the trope entirely.
* MsViceGirl: She gives rude remarks and acts kind of a jerk to her own son Oscar. However for as edgy as she is, she is genuinely friendly to many and is a loving grandmother and mother-in-law.
* MyBelovedSmother: To Bobby, but not so much with Oscar.
* NeverMessWithGranny: Especially not one who can effortlessly pile-drive a 300 pound man.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: In-between to Trudy's nice and Oscar's mean. She's a CoolOldLady who as quite the attitude, but shows her soft side time to time.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Subverted. She gets along well with her daughter-in-law, but not her son.
* ParentalFavoritism: Suga Mama likes Bobby more than she likes Oscar, even though Bobby is a failure.
* ParentsAsPeople: The reason she spoils Bobby so much is because of her childhood spent being TheUnfavourite next to her magical sister, so she desperately wanted her oldest son to feel special and loved.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Inverted. She wears a mixture of light and dark pink clothing but likes a many masculine topics.
* ProperlyParanoid: She knew better than to trust Sister Spice.
* TheResenter: It's implied that Suga Mama's reactionary attitude toward the revelation that her sister Spice was a telekinetic witch was partly out of resentment due to her being TheUnfavorite. The same also applies to Gertie Dinkins when she lost Percy Proud to Suga.
%% *SassyBlackWoman
* SeniorSleepCycle: She falls asleep the instant she sits down in front of the TV.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: That's Suga Mama for you.
* SheCleansUpNicely: When she gets back in shape to fit in her wedding dress in "Wedding Bell Blues", she's indistinguishable from her 20-ish year-old self.
* StepfordSmiler: Suga Mama is a fine example of the sort who initially seems to ''be'' her mask. "Penny Potter" suggests that her mask developed as the means to deal with her resentment over her older, "perfect" sister Spice getting magic and not herself.
* StrongerWithAge: She's got pro-wrestler levels of physical strength. And at 80, no less.
* SuperStrength: In the episode "Smack Mania 6: Mongo Vs. Mama's Boy", she is shown to be able to lift very heavy people with ease.
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: She's over at Oscar's house so often that it's easy to forget she has her own house. And Oscar often points this out.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Occasionally. Like "Suga Mama don't like..." or "Suga Mama's in the house!".
* TheUnfavorite: We don't actually ''know'' since we never get to see Spice's and her parents, but it is implied the reason she is so bitter and resentful towards magic is that she felt left behind when her sister could perform telekinetic abilites and that her parents heavily favored Spice over her.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Her complete lack of empathy can put her here sometimes, especially where Oscar is concerned.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: She and one of Penny's teachers, Ms. Dinkins, used to be the best of friends. However, when they met Percy Proud, the man who ended up fathering Oscar and Bobby, both of them fought over him and it ended their friendship. It took years for the two to finally reconcile.
* WhenEldersAttack: She doesn't just use her cane to keep her steady.
* WomenAreWiser: Like Trudy, she is more intelligent and reasonable than her son, though not by very much.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TaraStrong (Original series), Creator/LeeThompsonYoung and Sicily Johnson (as teens in "Twins to Tweens"), Aiden Dodson and Bresha Webb (''Louder and Prouder'')

Penny's younger twin siblings, a boy (Bebe) and a girl (Cece).
----
* {{Annoying Younger Sibling}}s: Not that they can help it. [[EnfantTerrible At least it seems that way.]]
* BlindingBangs: Bebe's hair covers his eyes.
* BrainyBaby: Times two. They do things that no 1 year olds can do their age.
* GenderBlenderName: Bebe. If he wasn't said to be boy, you would have thought he was a girl from his name.
* JerkassBall: Normally, they are loving siblings towards Penny. However, in "Twins to Tweens", they become jerks towards Penny by shunning her with the rest of her family and friends.
* NotAllowedToGrowUp: They remain infants/toddlers for the vast majority of the series. They're only aged up by a couple years in the revival, however.
* ShoutOut: Named for Bebe and Cece Winans, a brother and sister singing duo.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Many episodes have shown that Oscar sported a large Afro when he was younger, which he seems to have passed onto Bebe. Cece, meanwhile, resembles Trudy.
* ThemeTwinNaming: The only differences between their names are the consonant letters used.

Suga Mama's pet poodle.
----
* ButtMonkey: He's one of the main sources of physical slapstick in the series.
* CanineCompanion: To Suga Mama, being a poodle she is often seen carrying. This case goes even further, as he even helps Suga Mama was able to pass her driver's test.
* MeaningfulName: He has a ''puff'' of hair.
* UncattyResemblance: His fur, on the top of his head, is cut to look similar to Suga Mama's afro-puffs.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CedricTheEntertainer (Original series and ''Louder and Prouder''), Creator/ArsenioHall (''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamilyMovie'')

Oscar's older brother who likes to sing.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: He has the hots for Trudy's sister, Diana, who doesn't have a positive opinion of him. She'll sometimes give him credit for trying though.
* ButtMonkey: Like Oscar, he tends to get himself hurt a lot.
* ChewingTheScenery: Almost every appearance of him is this, and most of his dialogue is sung pretty loudly.
* CompanionCube: Bobby always carries a microphone with him, due to the fact that much of his dialogue is sung.
* CoolUncle: Penny, Bebe, and Cece love Bobby and see him as this.
* DiscoDan: His personal style is always a few decades behind whenever the show's being made. His first look, with its puffy bandana'd afro and sequined polyester jumpsuit, is straight out of the disco-funk era; ''Louder and Prouder'' redesigns his wardrobe as closer to early 90's hip-hop and new jack swing, featuring a two-tone hi-top fade and parachute pants.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish (still lives with his mother and has no job) to Oscar's responsible (owns his own house and constantly tries to improve his career), though even Oscar is no less of a goofball.
* GeniusDitz: He's a dummy in some regards, but you gotta admit he knows a thing or two about technology. Bobby gave his car the ability to transform into a mailbox. And then there’s the upgrades to Trudy’s van in the revival.
* LazyBum: Bobby often mooches off of his relatives and others, and yet, somehow Suga Mama favors him.
* LoungeLizard: Minus the lounge. Will often break out in song speech and use the microphone he ''always'' carries with him.
* {{Manchild}}: The main reason why he was the only adult that Al Roker was unable to make disappear. As Bobby puts it, "I'm a kid at heart!"
* MommasBoy: Suga Mama tends to baby him even more than she does with Oscar.
* MrViceGuy: Bobby really isn't too bad a guy but he can be just as, if not more, immature than Oscar. He also appears to be self-invested in his own singing career and is spoiled by his mother.
* NiceGuy: Despite his childishness, he's still a good person.
* OneOfTheKids: He's shown to be closest to Bebe and Cece in terms of maturity and more childish than Oscar. In fact, it's what wound up forcing Al Roker to free the other adults as his magic wasn't able to make Bobby disappear.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: By "Louder and Prouder", Bobby is in the new opening theme, and most notably in the family photo.
* StrawLoser: Being more liked and respected than his brother doesn't prevent Bobby from falling under this trope. He still lives with his mother and isn't very successful in his singing career.
* VerbalTic: "Bobby, y'all!"

Penny's frenemy, and the daughter of Felix and Sunset Boulevardez.
----
* AbsenteeActor: She doesn’t appear in “Seven Days of Kwanzaa” or “Behind Family Lines".

* AlphaBitch: Minus the girl posse.
* AttentionWhore: Sometimes [=LaCienega=] can do the most for attention.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She's the picture of sweetness around adults. Not so much with everyone else. Penny is the only one who sees her for what she truly is. In later episodes, she seems to have dropped it.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: How could two decent parents end up with her is beyond anyone's guess.
* BreakTheHaughty: In the episode when she is made fun of for her big feet.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: [=LaCienaga=] was originally a full-fledged AlphaBitch and antagonized Penny, but they eventually become friends ([[VitriolicBestBuds of a sort]]), and she rounds out the FourGirlEnsemble.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Not to the same extent as Dijonay, but still willing to abandon her friends when it suits her.
* CostumeEvolution: Wears longer distressed jeans and red sneakers in the reboot.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Hers is mainly shown in "Thelma and Luis". That episode shows that she loves her grandfather Papi in a very sweet way, in the same vein that Penny does with her grandmother Suga Mama.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Beneath her catty exterior lie crippling self-confidence issues, particularly dealing with her abnormally large feet. It's also revealed that she envies Penny because Dijonay favors Penny over her sometimes.
* InkSuitActor: She resembles her voice actress [[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0721216/ Alisa Reyes]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: [=LaCienega=] never helps anyone with anything unless she'll get something out of it.
* {{Jerkass}}: She's selfish, vain and obnoxious. She can also be needlessly rude to other characters.
* JerkassToOne: [=LaCienega=] is rude to other characters, but Penny is the one she antagonizes the most.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: "Love Thy Neighbor" ends with [=LaCienega=] thanking Penny in her acceptance speech, only for her to later reveal that it was a sham for the cameras and that she still hates her. Basically, any form of kindness she shows is usually either to look good in front of others or done after she gets a dose of Karma dumped on her.
* LovableAlphaBitch: On her good days, which don't come very often.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Mean to Zoey's nice and Dijonay's in-between. She's often bossy and stuck-up and wants things done the way they want, though she shows her soft side when needed.
* PetTheDog: In "Wedding Bell Blues", when Suga Mama marries her boyfriend Clarence, it appears that [=LaCienega=] is genuinely happy for Penny and her family. When Suga Mama and Clarence announce their engagement, she happily cheers for them, agrees to be a bridesmaid in the wedding, and when Suga Mama asks her to, invite Papi Boulavardez to the wedding, she agrees (also keeping Suga Mama in the dark that Papi is dating other women).
* PunnyName: With her mother, both named after the famous [=LaCienega=] and Sunset Boulevards in Los Angeles.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: In "Culture Shock", [=LaCienega=] constantly makes very bitchy micro aggressions about the Zamin Family.
* [[RiseOfZitboy Rise of Zitgirl]]: In the first episode of Louder and Prouder, [[spoiler:she has loads of acne, facial hair, and sideburns.]]
* SpicyLatina: She's impossibly vain and cocky, though it's primarily an act.

* ShipTease: Twice with Michael of all people. She apparently likes him for his [[TheDandy fashion sense]].
* SmallNameBigEgo: Thinks she is prettier than she really is.
* TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity: The spoiled and centered foul femininity to Dijonay's tender tomboyishness.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: If Dijonay's account can be believed, [=LaCienega=] was a lot nicer when she was younger.

Felix's wife and Trudy's best friend. She is the mother of [=LaCienega=], the wife of Felix and is a police officer.
----
* FairCop: [[InkSuitActor Resembling her actress more than a little bit.]] Oscar commented on how hot she was when she first moved to the neighborhood.
* FriendOnTheForce: She's gal pals/BFF's with Trudy.
%%* GoodParents
%%* JerkassBall: See PoliceBrutality.
%%* SpicyLatina
* PoliceBrutality: PlayedForLaughs of course but she has mentioned off-hand that she pretty much threatened Felix into marrying her while on the job and is more than willing to physically strong-arm her husband into doing what she says using her policeman's training. At one point, she mentioned that she threatened to arrest judges so they would vote for her daughter.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She's significantly taller than Felix.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Sunset is a ''very'' beautiful woman. And while her husband is not ugly, he's short, fat, and not conventionally attractive.

Oscar's neighbor and best friend. He is the father of [=LaCienega=] and the husband of Sunset.
----
* BigFun: He's fat and a very friendly, fun guy to be around.
* ButtMonkey: Sometimes. When he shares scenes with Oscar, he can be a victim of slapstick and he and Oscar are both dominated by their wives.
* BumblingDad: Even more so than Oscar, probably explaining how someone so good natured ended up with a daughter like Lacienega.
* GoodParents: If somewhat on the indulgent side.
* HenpeckedHusband: To Sunset. He's the more submissive one in the relationship. She even threatened him to marry her or be arrested.

->'''Voiced by:''' Alvaro Gutierrez, Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson (Papi's SignatureLaugh in ''Louder and Prouder'')

Felix's father and Suga Mama's love interest. He is the grandfather of [=LaCienega=].
----
* BilingualDialogue: He clearly understands English well, yet all of his dialogue is in Spanish, as he never really participates in conversations, just heckles people.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The episode "Thelma & Luis" focuses on him.
* DeadpanSnarker: Towards Suga Mama but it's in Spanish, so she never understands.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Whether or not his family can understand him varies.
* TheHyena: 50% of his dialogue is a shrill, cackling laugh. In one episode, he instead cries, twice. First, tears of joy when Suga Mama is marrying someone else, but she thinks he's sad. Second, he's sad when she's single again and back to her old self, and she thinks they're tears of joy.
* FunnyForeigner: He speaks only Spanish and it's always hilarious.
* IWasQuiteALooker: Seems to have been a ladies' man especially when he was younger.
* JerkassToOne: Suga Mama is the only character in the show that he dislikes. He also needlessly insults Suga Mama in Spanish despite knowing her obvious and genuine affection for him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Shown mainly in "Thelma and Luis". In this episode, he does sincerely thank Suga Mama for rescuing him from the prison. This episode also shows he loves his granddaughter in a very sweet way, in the same vein that Suga Mama does with Penny.
* KeepItForeign: In the Castilian Spanish dub, he speaks Italian for some reason. Averted in the dub for ''Louder and Prouder'', where he falls under SameLanguageDub instead and keeps his Latino accent.
* LargeHam: Papi's maniacal laughing is always stealing the show.
* LatinLover: Parodied; He insults Suga Mama to her face but since she doesn't understand Spanish she thinks he's saying something romantic.
* LoveAtFirstPunch: More like "Love at First Insult", but in TheMovie, he starts trying to court Suga Mama's clone when she insults him back.
* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: Especially by Suga Mama. Inverted in the movie, too, wherein Suga Mama's clone (who can speak Spanish) starts throwing insults back at him. He immediately starts courting her (to no avail, though the rejections seem to make him all the more persistent).
* PracticallyJoker: Looks like an elderly version of Creator/CesarRomero as ComicBook/TheJoker sans the makeup with a color scheme similar to [[Film/Batman1989 Jack Nicholson's Joker]]. While he's no criminal he loves laughing maniacally after every sentence. It’s even lampshaded once.
* SignatureLaugh: A very shrill cackle. In fact, this laugh is used to SpotTheImpostor pretending to be Papi when he can't laugh the same.

An incredibly wealthy, very smart, and famous businessman who made his fortune playing professional basketball.
----
* TheAce: A legendary basketball player with enough money to own the city and everything in it.
* AccidentalMisnaming: He likes to call Zoey "Susie" no matter how many times Zoey corrects him.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He's everything Oscar tries and fails to be.
* BerserkButton:
** Downplayed. He doesn't rage, but he hates being corrected and even fired Zoey from her movie theatre job because she corrected him.
** Don't accuse his son of stealing. It caused his one and only PapaWolf moment in the series.
* CatchPhrase:
** "It all started with an orange basketball."
** "Never correct Wizard's English." (once to Zoey)
* CompanionCube: His basketball, due to him being a retired basketball player.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: ''Much'' more benign than most examples, being mostly content with total domination of the city, but still incredibly sleazy, always trying to rip off others to make himself wealthier if he can, and likes to screw his employees out of due credit for achievements.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Not evil ''per se'', but the Wizard is the biggest jerkass in the show. The few times his son, Little Wiz Junior, does appear, it's clear the Wizard does love him. He kicked the people who accused his son of stealing out of his house and spent millions of dollars to help his son win a school election.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Even the Wizard knows how despicable Sista Spice truly is. He's also disgusted with all the times Oscar cheated in his contests. He's a big jerk, but he doesn't believe in committing fraud.
* EvilCounterpart: Downplayed. Not evil per se, but if you take Oscar, remove his redeeming qualities and status as a walking punchline, and add "rich" and more "smug" and "jerkass", you have Wizard Kelly.
* TheFaceless: He's so tall that his face is always "off-camera".
* FreezeFrameBonus: In the movie, we finally get a glimpse of his face for a ''split'' second, right before he gets splattered with peanut butter.
* FriendlyEnemy: He is usually nice to the Prouds [[DependingOnTheWriter sometimes]].
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: He towers over his wife, [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/1/10/The_Altos_%286%29.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120828235714 Ginger Snaps]].
* {{Jerkass}}: He's somewhat of a bully sometimes to the main characters Penny and Oscar, and he is also a narcissist.
* JerkassToOne: He often acts a jerk toward anyone that isn't his family. However, he particularly ''loves'' to be-little Oscar every chance he gets.
* JerkJock: He ''is'' a basketball player and is a narcissistic jerk.
* KarmaHoudini: Though he gets splattered with peanut butter in TheMovie.
* LargeHam: Whenever the Wizard is on camera, expect him to always chew the scenery, y'all.
* MaliciousMisnaming: The Wizard seems to always call Oscar "Oliver Prune" and in one episode "Orenthal Proud".
* {{Narcissist}}: Who else names a city after himself? (The city is called Wizardville, though the revival's now calling it Smithville.) Not to mention he plasters his name over all the city’s products, pushed out Oscar in favor of plastering his name 4 times on a scavenger hunt competition advertisement, rewards any attempt to correct his errors with immediate job termination of employees, and always tries to work contracts and agreements to make himself wealthier. He even thinks that ''Theatre/TheWiz'' was named after him.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He appears to be based on basketball star Magic Johnson (his wealth and fame) and musician R. Kelly (his speaking voice and speech patterns).
* RichBitch: A male example.
* TheRival: To Oscar, with a dash of UnknownRival because the Wizard doesn't seem the least bit interested in hashing things out.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: In a very real sense, he owns the city. It's called Wizville, for pete's sake.
* ThirdPersonPerson: He usually refers to himself as "The Wizard Kelly".
* VerbalTic: He regularly ends sentences with "y'all".
* VocalEvolution: By ''Louder and Prouder'', his voice has gotten much more deeper.

----
* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite being willing to bribe his way to becoming class president and being as smug as his dad, not even Lil' Wiz would resort to mudslinging to get an edge in the votes. His father on the other hand...
* {{Gonk}}: Not ugly per se but compared to his parents, Lil' Wiz does look a bit off (mainly the shape of his head).
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Lil' Wiz may be very arrogant like his father but he is definitely a lot nicer than his dad. Lil' Wiz always treat his girlfriends well and there are lines not even he would cross.
* LeanAndMean: Lil' Wiz is very skinny and has the arrogance of a rich boy.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Lil' Wiz takes a lot from his father. From his VerbalTic to being ThirdPersonPerson.
* MoralityPet: To his father, the Wizard. The Wizard is one of the biggest jerkasses in the show, but he does show genuine love and affection for his son. He kicked the people who accused his son of stealing out of his house and helped Little Wiz win the middle school election by spending millions.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: As stated above, his full name is "Wizard Kelly Jr." but everyone (including his father) calls him by "Lil' Wiz."
* RichJerk: Not as bad as his dad but he still uses money to get what he wants and acts very arrogant because of it.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Like with his father.
* VerbalTic: Also like with his dad, he often ends his sentences with "ya'll."

* AesopAmnesia: All the freakin' time. Watch and lose count how many times she's learned not to take her family for granted, to be a better friend to Penny, not to be so shallow, etc.
* BalloonBelly: In "Tween Town", when she drinks a large amount of soda with Penny while the adults are gone.
* BareYourMidriff: Her normal outfit shows her stomach.
* CatchPhrase: STICKAYYY!!!!!!!
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Penny can't trust her for anything. It's a wonder the two are still friends.
* CostumeEvolution: Very minor in the reboot as her top is now a v-neck shirt as opposed to the collared blouse she wore in the original.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Her blonde hair is likely dyed.
* {{Expy}}: Of Kim from {{Series/Moesha}} and ''Series/TheParkers''.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Even Dijonay doesn't think too highly of Oscar's brother, Bobby. She once referred to him as "Mr. Ain't-Too-Proud-To-Beg".
* FalseFriend: To Penny, often derailing thir friendship for her own benefit.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Dijonay is such a backstabbing bitch, it’s no wonder the gang doesn’t trust her.
* GenkiGirl: Too bad all of that energy is used for evil.
* GossipyHens: To the extent that she runs a pseudo-news broadcast dedicated to spreading rumors.
* HiddenDepths: She turns out to have a talent for poetry.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: On the other hand, while auditioning for "Tween Idol", she sings "Frankie and Johnny" somewhat badly.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Unlike Lacienega, most of the time she's not trying to be selfish. But she can never seem to concern herself with anything other than her own satisfaction.
* {{Jerkass}}: Not exactly the best friend to have. She's also self-centered, selfish, and very fickle towards Penny.
* KickTheDog: In "The Adventures of Bebe-Sitting" when she leaves Penny with her siblings to attend a concert and then lies about it.
* LoonyFan: To Sticky.
* LooseLips: Penny's gotten into a lot of trouble by thinking Dijonnay can keep a secret, but you did not hear that from her.
* ParentalNeglect: Raising her nine wild siblings all by herself has given her a serious case of Middle Child Syndrome. She's not used to having her own things, her own space, or any attention at all, so once she gets the opportunity, she seizes it without question.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: She has ''nine'' younger siblings.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: In-between to Zoey's nice and [=LaCienega's=] mean. She's a SassyBlackWoman who always thinks cool, but isn't as klutzy and more assertive.
* SassyBlackWoman: Dijonay can’t go a whole episode without being sassy.
* SelectiveObliviousness / IRejectYourReality: She doesn't seem remotely aware that Sticky isn't her boyfriend, much less in love with her. Even the note he left behind in ''Louder and Prouder'' which was meant for her had another envelope inside to be given to Penny doesn't give it the slightest idea he wanted to make that clear. Penny almost read her name out loud as the girl he wanted to get away from but saying just enough that it's clearly Dijonay. Dijonay still didn't get it.
* SelfProclaimedLoveInterest: She's under the impression that Stick is "her man", and not someone who can't stand her.
* TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity: The sassy and loudmouthed tender tomboyishness to [=LaCienega=]'s foul feminity.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Her normal outfit is mostly colored blue.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Penny knows full well she can't trust Dijonnay with anything. How they are still friends is a mystery to everyone involved. Suga Mama even lampshades this, as she ''really'' doesn't like Dijonay and has told Penny at least twice that she needs to drop her.

* CoolShades: They also come with a built-in camera.

* OnlySaneMan: In a show that desperately needs one.

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/char_33151.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SoleilMoonFrye

Penny's shy friend. She's a sweet girl, agreeable and helpful.
----
* BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill: Her braces allegedly make her homely.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: She's not as horrible as Dijonay and Lacienega, but even Zoey can abandon Penny when she caves into peer pressure.
* CostumeEvolution: Her clothes are now light green and she wears a jean jacket and platform sandals in the reboot.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Especially in "Makeover", "Penny Potter" and "Election".
* EvenNerdsHaveStandards: She's just as repulsed as Penny when the bottle points at Myron. She even thinks Agatha Ordinaro is geeky (mostly for being... homely). Though she wouldn't mind if she was voted "Most Nerdiest" in the yearbook.
* {{Expy}}: When she speaks, she sounds ''EXACTLY'' like Jade from the first season of ''{{WesternAnimation/Bratz}}''. This is because Frye voices her.
* FieryRedhead: Inverted. Zoey has orange hair, but is quite shy and passive in comparison to her friends.
* GenkiGirl: She's always cheerful and excitable.
* HiddenBuxom: She's noticeably curvier while wearing a [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/5/5c/Proud_Family_School_Pool.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20170118005740 swimsuit]] in 'Love Thy Neighbor'.

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: She wants to be noticed.
* {{Meganekko}}: The large glasses make Zoey look cuter.
* NerdGlasses: She's a nerdy girl and she has glasses.
* NiceGirl: One of the nicest, if not, the ''nicest'' character on the whole show.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Nice to [=LaCienega's=] mean and Dijonay's in-between. She's the klutzy NervousWreck who's often positive about everything.
* NotSoAboveItAll: She sometimes ditches Penny along with Lacienega and Dijonay, but this doesn't last that long.
* OnlySaneWoman: She is this when Penny's other friends ditch her at times.
* PerpetualSmiler
* ThePollyanna: Except if something's bothering her, she's almost always optimistic.
* RedheadsAreUncool: Zoey is a redhead, but she is very geeky and is shown to have geeky obsessions in the Spelling Bee episode.
* ShrinkingViolet: The least confident of her group of friends.
* TokenWhite: The only one in the show (besides her mother, who only appears in "Tiger Whisperer").
* VocalEvolution: In earlier episodes, her voice was more deep and melancholy. However, in the fourth episode onwards, her voice becomes a lot more cheerful and optimistic, and she regains her usual voice.
* YouthfulFreckles: She has some freckles on her face.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PhilLaMarr (Original Series), E.J. Johnson (''Louder and Prouder'')

Penny's flamboyant friend.
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: "Who You Callin' a Sissy?" explores how he's often bullied because of effeminate nature.
* AscendedExtra: Has been elevated to the core group of friends in the revival.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's generally easy going and friendly, but one episode focused on him constantly getting picked on until he couldn't take it anymore and became TheDreaded for the latter half of said episode.
* BullyMagnet: The show deconstructs this with Michael being a target of bullying. He becomes fed up and rages at his tormentors.
* ButtMonkey: Michael is constantly bullied by the football players when he's the water boy. Even his own father is embarrassed by him to the point that his father wants him to refer to him as "coach" in public.
* CampGay: Unlike in the original series, Michael is explicitly attracted to boys in the revival.
* CampStraight: Possibly in the original series--a couple episodes teased something going on between him and Lacienega, to the point that the last straw for him in the episode mentioned in BewareTheNiceOnes was ''her'' making fun of him, implying that he genuinely liked her.
** Likely averted in the revival, while he and Lacienega are still friends he’s shown dancing with a boy at the dance.
* TheDandy: To the point that he was voted most fashionable in their yearbook.
* DeadpanSnarker: In the revival, he is prone to throwing shade towards everyone, even his friends.
* HeIsAllGrownUp: Went from the awkward short kid to a tall and flamboyantly stylish teen by the revival, as Penny notes upon seeing him.
* HiddenDepths: While most of his interests are effeminate and he's terrified of playing contact sports like football, "Who You Callin' a Sissy?" shows he actually enjoys basketball and is pretty good at it.
* IGotBigger: Michael definitely got taller by the revival, surpassing Penny, [=LaCienega=], and only barely matching about Zoey's height. Penny clearly noticed.
* JockDadNerdSon: While not nerdy, Michael does have nerd-like personality traits and his father is a coach.
* NiceGuy: Michel is a nice, polite guy.
* RageBreakingPoint: In "Who You Callin' a Sissy?", he tolerated the bullying he dealt with until he finally raged at his tormentors at the near end of the episode.
* ShipTease: Twice with Lacienega of all people in the original series (albeit in an extremely ambiguous way). Not so much in the revival, where he's gay.
* StepfordSmiler: He feigns confidence when he is bullied in "Who You Callin' a Sissy?". The near end of the episode shows how badly affected his is after all the hate and teasing.
* TrashTalk: He's the master of this, throwing insults whenever he can. Michael's trash talk has a bit more style and sophistication in ''Louder and Prouder''.
* WantedAGenderConformingChild: Not him, but his dad. His father makes him call him “coach” in public due to his embarrassment of his son’s feminine traits. Continues in "Louder & Prouder", where he has the [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike same idea as Oscar]] to make Michael wear military clothes.
* WellDoneSonGuy: His dad, the school football coach, makes his son call him "Coach" in public (or at least when they're at school) and it's implied this is due to Michael’s camp nature.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Out of all the characters who return in ''Louder and Prouder'', Michael has been radically redesigned such that his trademark ChildishToothGap is gone, and is given a new style to reflect he’s gender-non conforming such that he’s embraced his effeminate side.

[[folder: Maya Leibowitz-Jenkins]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tpfl&p___maya.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KekePalmer

A new kid in town who is a young activist.
----
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Maya definitely has this mindset. The moment anyone shows any selfishness she’s quick to write them off as bad people. It also goes for any social issue she addresses, like trying to rescue the panda when he didn’t want to.
* BrotherSisterTeam: Maya and her brother are quite inseperable.
* ConvenientReplacementCharacter: Moves into Sticky's old house right as he leaves in ''Louder and Prouder''.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the SoapboxSadie. The show deconstructs teen activists like Maya by showing that, while they may be more aware of serious social issues than their peers and are right to bring light to them, many times [[KnowNothingKnowItAll they don't know as much about the issues as they think they do]], their immaturity causes them to fall into a BlackAndWhiteInsanity mindset and fail to recognize the morally grey areas of society, and a lot of their activism is done more [[SecretlySelfish for the sake of satisfying their egos rather than true altruism]].
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: She's the responsible to KG's foolish. Maya is more aware of her surroundings while KG is often aloof and distracted by his gaming console. However, the trope is ultimately PlayedWith, as Maya is far more hostile towards others than her brother, not to mention incredibly overzealous and self-righteous regarding her various social crusades.
* DislikesTheNewGuy: Inverted. She's the new kid in town, and it is ''she'' who dislikes Penny and her companions.
* HasTwoDaddies: She and KG have two dads, Barry and Randall.
* HatesEveryoneEqually: By everyone, we mean ''everyone who is not her brother''. Girl's clearly got trust issues.
* {{Hypocrite}}: She hates Penny for being superficial, yet she teamed up with the most superficial girl (Lacienega) to take down Penny, though at the time they both had a good reason to.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Penny calls her SoapboxSadie attitude out as an example of this, as she seems to be more concerned with satisfying her own ego than actually doing good.
* IWorkAlone: Maya just doesn't work with social cliques, and she's against anything that resembles herd mentality. The only person she more or less trusts is her brother KG.
* JerkassToOne: She's surly with everyone as part of her HatesEveryoneEqually deal, but she only really goes out of her way to antagonize Penny.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Maya thinks she has a lot to teach Penny, but she clearly fails to see the nuances in the world. In the very first episode, she attempts to liberate a panda from the zoo that plainly doesn't want to leave because of how comfortable his life is.
* SoapboxSadie: She's a very passionate and unfortunately judgmental social crusader who looks down on those she believes aren't doing enough to help the world, which is to say, ''[[HatesEveryoneEqually literally everyone else]]''.
* {{Troll}}: She seems to get her kicks from insulting so-called "regular" people like Penny.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: She is fully aware of the world's ills and thinks that Penny and her friends are immature. Ultimately PlayedWith in that while she has greater awareness of the problems with the world, her tendency to immediately write people off the moment they display a single act of selfishness and sometimes short-sighted attempts at activism show that she's actually just as immature as the other teens she derides.

[[folder: Francis "KG" Leibowitz-Jenkins]]
->Voiced By: Artist "A Boogie" Dubose

Maya’s apathetic gamer brother.
----
* DeadpanSnarker: KG is always snarking at his sister, especially with regards to her attitude.
* PhoneaholicTeenager: A variant where he’s focused on his gaming console as opposed to his phone.
* TheSlacker: Considering his apathetic nature, he doesn’t really do much beyond what his sister tells him.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Sticky. So much that Dijonay briefly mistakes KG for him gone through puberty and becomes her rebound crush after he leaves.

[[folder:The Gross Sisters]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_mm07ckwlca1s8qug1o1_500.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Raquel Lee (Nubia)

Three sisters who constantly bully Penny and her friends into giving them their money.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: They have blue hair, blue skin, and wear blue overalls. It's revealed that the reason the girls are blue is due to them being ashy.
* AmbiguousDisorder: There's something "off" about Gina and Olei but it's not entirely clear what.
* BigLittleSister: Olei is the youngest but the biggest, Nubia is the middle child who is the tallest, and Gina's the oldest despite being the smallest.
* BigSisterBully: Nubia towards Olei and Gina.
* BigSisterInstinct: "Makeover" shows that Nubia has a protective streak for her sisters, threatening to beat up Penny and her friends if they don't do a good job with giving Olei a makeover.
* BigThinShortTrio: Olei is the biggest, Nubia is the slimmest, and Gina is the shortest.
%%* BrawnHilda: Olei.
* BreakTheCutie: Olei when she becomes conflicted between choosing Nubia or Penny in "Makeover".
* TheChewToy: Olei is easily the most oppressed of Nubia’s sisters.
* {{Catchphrase}}: From Nubia: "You know the drill: Hands up, cash out!"
** She also often says "Is that all you got?" whenever she steals a small sum of money from someone.
* CuteBruiser: They’re a trio of girl bullies. It’s inevitable.
* CuteMute: Olei and Gina don’t talk, but it further adds to their endearing traits.
* DependingOnTheWriter: How bad they are whenever they appear. They're consistently shown as an unpleasant GangOfBullies but can go from sadistic and overly cruel to willing to help the main cast out and capable of genuine PetTheDog moments with no prompting.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite being cruel and abusive towards her sisters, Nubia does love her family and vice versa.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** In "Pulp Boot Camp", the Gross Sisters refuse to house Penny after she escapes from boot camp, figuring that while they're bullies, the fact that Penny was sent to boot camp makes her a hardened thug. Nubia outright says they don't deal with real criminals, which makes Penny feel guilty about what she’s become.
** All of them are quite disgusted to see Wizard Kelly Jr. sleeps with a stuffed animal while sucking his finger.
* IronicName: Their first names are based on the skincare products: Nivea, Neutrogena and Olay. The irony comes from them being so ashy they appear to be AmazingTechnicolorPopulation.
* GangOfBullies: A trio of bullying sisters who have been taking money from their peers since they were young.
* HiddenDepths: They can Sing really well but they don’t want to pursue a music career because there are too many crooks in the music business.
* {{Jerkass}}: That's what expected from bullies, however, Olei might be more a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* JerkassHasAPoint: The Gross Sisters are a gang of thugs who love to steal money from others. However, in one episode, they didn't want to hang out with Penny who then decided to be a "bad girl" and do things that [[EvenEvilHasStandards not even they would do]]. As [[TheLeader Nubia]] pointed out, Penny, at the point, has been considered a straight on criminal.
* KarmaHoudini: They hardly ever pay for stealing money from Penny and her friends. This is probably due to how AdultsAreUseless.
* {{Leitmotif}}: They are typically accompanied by an instrumental hip-hop track when they show up.
%%* MeanBoss: Nubia to Gina and Olei.
* PetTheDog: They have moments that show they're not completely heartless.
** In "The Party". They don't show up to torment Penny... they actually want to have some fun, and not at ''anyone'''s expense. This is especially saying a lot considering that Penny's actual [[WithFriendsLikeThese "friends"]] ditched her just to attend [=LaCienega's=] party over Penny's.
** [[CoolOldLady Suga Mama]] is one of the only people they genuinely admire and respect.
** Papi also won them over during the episode where the kids had to live in different cultural homes. Apparently Papi liked them enough to teach them Spanish, with Gina once using his signature laugh.
** Nubia takes a moment to comfort Bebe and Cece in "Tween Town" when they start to miss their parents and Suga Mama.
** They develop respect for Penny in TheMovie when they see her fighting Dr. Carver on TV, which Nubia calling Penny, “hardcore".
* PunnyName: Gross is a real surname in addition to the gang's name describing their personalities. Then there's the fact that they're so ashy that their skin is blue.
%%* SassyBlackGirl: Nubia.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Olay, who in better clothing also appears thinner and taller as well.
* SpoiledBrat: Nubia doesn’t just bully and steal from other kids, but even her own family.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Nubia refers to herself and her sisters as the “Gross Sisters” when they speak to others.
* TerribleTrio: A BarbaricBully trio.
* {{Tomboy}}: They seem to be the most obvious case in the show, given that their rather neutral dress and that they're engaged in sports.
* TomboyishVoice: Nubia has a deep, raspy voice.
* VocalDissonance: A weird example, as it applies to characters who don't actually ''have'' voices--Olei and Gina can occasionally be heard laughing; Olei, the big giant girl, has a high-pitched girlish giggle while Gina, the tiny one, is a very clear case of EvilSoundsDeep. And when they sing, Gina is the bass.
* VoiceForTheVoiceless: Nubia speaks for her sisters, who never say a single word at all.
* TheVoiceless: Olei and Gina almost never have a ''single'' line throughout the series. Only Nubia does the talking.

* DarkHorseVictory: In the election episode, he ends up winning since he didn’t resort to trickery (Penny on the Gross Sisters’ behalf) nor bribery (Wizard Jr.).
* {{Expy}}: He's the spitting image of [[Series/FamilyMatters Steve Urkel]], minus the signature high pitched voice. Suga Mama even calls him "Urkel" in "The Party", which doubles as an ActorAllusion given her [[Creator/JoMariePayton voice actor]].
* NerdGlasses: He wears big, square-rimmed glasses that serve to show more of his nerdy nature.
* ThrowTheDogABone: In "Rumors" and "Election" when he's shown to be briefly popular.

Suga Mama's older sister, who she's not on good terms with. She only appears in “Penny Potter”.
----
* AssholeVictim: She suffers what turns out to be a painful spell caused by Suga Mama reflecting the magic back at her with a garbage can. Given that she had spent the past few days badmouthing Oscar for literally no reason at all beyond her view of him as a “boob”, pretty much everyone considers it a suitable punishment.

* ColorMotif: Pink, to go with her sickly sweet personality as well as Suga Mama’s signature outfit.
* ConMan: She tricked Zoey into thinking she's a psychic to rip people off into thinking they can pay to have powers too.
* HateSink: In a show where even nice people like Trudy have moments of being unpleasant and jerks like Oscar can have their nice bits, Spice is the sole exception. She pretended to be nice to her nephew just to annoy her sister, ripped people off with false promises of psychic powers and was more than willing to let Oscar take the fall for her. She even left her own apprentice, Zoey, at the mercy of her enraged audience.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Sista Spice is an asshole, but she did make a good point on how people should stop doubting themselves and remove the word “can’t” from their vocabulary to maximize their self confidence. Also, she was the one who helped Zoey gain confidence in herself (she was right in the beginning, but when it was during the show, it was just an act).
* ParentalFavoritism: She was favored over her younger sister Suga Mama.
* SmugSnake: Sista Spice is a con artist who relies on trickery with some confidence to boot.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She's last seen being levitated off the ground after Suga Mama redirected her psychic blast at her. Did she leave town, get arrested or even left that way forever? Regardless, the Prouds more than likely renounced her and she's no longer welcomed in their home.

[[folder:Diana Parker]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_1048.PNG]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Sheryl Lee Ralph

Trudy's older sister, who visits the rest of the family occasionally. Diana lives out in New York City, where she is a professional Broadway actress. She tolerates Suga Mama, but nevertheless follows the Parker "party line" of considering Oscar and his cousins to be less-than-desirable folks. She is not shy about expressing this viewpoint, and turns down Bobby’s romantic affections towards her. Diana only appears in “Romeo Must Die” and “Behind Family Lines”. It is during her visit in Wizville the first time that she helps Penny prepare for the role of Juliet in ''Romeo and Juliet''.
----
* AffectionateNickname: Is called “Aunt Dee” by Penny.
* FieryRedhead: She is a sweetheart to both Penny and her sister, but she is mostly this towards Oscar and his cousins because she sees them as a mongrels and not worth the crud on her boots.
* {{Foil}}: To her sister Trudy in "Romeo Must Wed", who's a lot more mild-mannered and modest in comparison to her rich and famous older sister. According to Trudy, it's just "the diva in her" and it occasionally lets Diana walk all over Trudy.
** To Bobby in "Behind Family Lines". Bobby, Oscar's older brother, is an unsuccessful singer who lives with his mother and is pleasant to his brother's family. Diana is Trudy's older sister who is a very rich and successful Broadway actress who won't hesitate to express annoyance to her brother-in-law or his extended family.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: While Penny and Trudy adore her, it's strongly implied that they're the only ones. Oscar obviously despises her for treating him like a servant, and while Suga Mama enjoys getting gifts from her, the rest of the family from Oscar's side has to tolerate her presence. It's possible even Bobby's devotion to Diana is more out of lust, than actual love, considering how focused he is on warming up to her.
* KickTheDog: She has no problem casually talking smack about Oscar's relatives in his presence. This turns out to be a big mistake for her, however, as a pissed off Boonetta involuntarily threatens to "bring da noize" on her.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: To Oscar. Not that he deserves it entirely, but even him and Suga Mama and their cousins find Diana too snooty and obnoxious to bear.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ray Ray Proud Jr.]]
-> '''Voiced By:''' Jamal Mixon
Penny's third cousin (the son of Oscar's cousin).
----
* BigEater: He and his baby brother S’mo eat an entire dinner that was prepared for the family and their visiting relatives.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Boonetta and Ray Ray Proud Sr.]]
-> '''Voiced By:''' Anthony Andersen and Mo'nique
Oscar's cousin and his wife.
----
* BigEater: According to Trudy, they ate her and Oscar’s wedding cake.
* FatAndProud: His fatness is only second to his colorful personality.
* NoIndoorVoice: Most of the time, he talks pretty loud.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: They mean well and act friendly but they do cause a few problems with Trudy's family from being clueless about how the Parkers respond to their behavior.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Subverted. They're very friendly and jovial, most of the problems they cause with the Parkers being from oblivious mistakes. It's implied Trudy finds them grating because of their lack of social awareness but they only really start acting up when the Parkers keep being abrasive to them.
* PetTheDog: Comes to Boonetta’s aid when Rueben accuses her of moving during a game of “red light green light”.
* SlobsVsSnobs: They have this vibe with Trudy's family.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Chanel Parker]]
-> '''Voiced By:''' Solange Knowles

Rueben and Leslie’s beloved daughter and Penny’s cousin. Initially, she's an attractive AlphaBitch who’s opinion of Penny and her room is not very high. Of course, Rueben and Leslie turn a blind eye to her negative traits and act as though Chanel were the perfect daughter, and even she tries to correct herself. By the events of “Behind Family Lines”, Penny has not seen Chanel since the fifth grade. After the adults begin to fight with Oscar’s cousins, Chanel starts to change and ultimately she is the only member of the Parker family to make a complete HeelFaceTurn before the end of the episode.
----
* BullyTurnedBuddy: She spends the first few minutes being nothing but condescending to Penny, but then sides with her when her parents go to war with Oscar’s cousins.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Normally, she has a dour opinion of her Aunt Trudy’s home. After her HeelFaceTurn, however, it hits her that her parents are intolerable. Chanel is actually horrified by this since she, like Penny and Ray Ray Jr., see each other as family. It gives her the courage to try to reprimand her family for fussing and fighting.
* LovableAlphaBitch: She's a bit stuck up and can't hide that she's used to living in a nicer home than the Proud Family's house, but she seems pleased about the Twins baptism and gets along with Penny and Ray Ray Jr. while their parents are busy fighting for most of the episode.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: She's constantly wearing a purple sweater.
* TheHedonist: Prior to her HeelFaceTurn, she really doesn't care much about Penny and her room, enjoying herself and not hiding the fact that she is used to sleeping in a place with a concierge.
* HeelFaceTurn: After seeing her parents fighting because of their differences in social circles, she comes to realize that they are intolerable. Between that and her, Penny and Ray Ray Jr. ending up apprehended by Sunset Boulevardez, she starts treating her cousins much nicer afterwards. By the time of the epilogue, she and Penny actually have a quite admirable relationship with each other.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She’s mildly rude and boorish at first but later becomes a more behaved girl later on.
* NotSoAboveItAll: She's much less uptight than her parents, which gets shown when the kids take off rather than deal with the adults arguing. She's even the one to suggest using her dad's truck to get away for a bit.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rueben Parker and Leslie Parker]]
-> '''Voiced By:''' David Alan Geir and Wendy Raquel Robinson
Trudy and Diana’s brother and sister in law.
----
* CoolCar: He has a fancy [=SUV=] from a model not out on the market.
* EvilUncle: Not quite evil, but still snobby to Oscar’s cousins.
* HappilyMarried: For all his other flaws, he and Leslie really love each other.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Zigzagged. He's perfectly nice to Oscar, but he feuds a lot with Ray Ray Sr. and his wife.
* PetTheDog: He's the only one of the Parker family who treats Oscar nicely, showing off his new car because he thinks Oscar will enjoy the bells and whistles. While he does get testy with Oscar's relatives he never takes it out on Oscar.
* TrrrillingRrrs: “That’s Rrruben. Rrroll the ‘R’. LIKE YOU ROLL THOSE EYES!”
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Maureen and Dr. Vincent Parker]]
-> '''Voiced By:''' Cicely Tyson and Robert Guillame
Trudy's parents and Penny’s maternal grandparents. Vincent is a pretentious, social-climbing, television hating doctor with an incredibly insular view of Oscar and his kin. By direct contrast, both he and his wife Maureen are very loving grandparents to Penny.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Vincent admits with Oscar that seeing Suga Mama clocking Maureen in the head was funny.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: On so very much seen in the ending of "Behind Family Lines".
* TheBully: He enjoys belittling his in-laws and keeping Oscar under his thumb. He approves and even encourages his wife to do the same.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While he's not truly evil, Vincent is a deeply unpleasant man in the eyes of Oscar’s relatives - while he belittles Oscar, he is genuinely HappilyMarried to Maureen and he is a DotingGrandparent to Penny and the twins. In “Behind Family Lines”, Maureen becomes outraged with Boonetta when she blames Little Ray Ray for the theft of Rueben’s truck.
* EveryoneHasStandards: They appear to invoke this with regards to the other Prouds, as while Penny seems to love them, it's implied that Oscar and Suga Mama do not and only tolerate them because they’re family.
* DotingGrandparent: They are fairly sweet to Penny and the twins.
* InsistentTerminology: Oscar is forced to call them "Doctor and Mrs. Parker".
* {{Jerkass}}: Mostly in the first half of “Behind Family Lines” when he is completely cold and abrasive towards Oscar. He also stopped at nothing to keep the Prouds from succeeding in the football game against his family.
* LackOfEmpathy: When it comes to Suga Mama. In “Behind Family Lines”, Maureen is fully prepared to call her a crusty old woman, despite full knowledge that she is family.
* LastNameBasis: Vincent tends to refer to Oscar as "Proud" until the end of the episode when he calls him “son”.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Maureen insults Suga Mama while mistaking her for a maid, setting off a feud between them.
* NotSoAboveItAll: He's understandably unimpressed when Oscar treats the family to dinner at a rather ''unique'' restaurant. (The place drops fish on the table for customers to eat by hand, no plates or silverware) When the food does get there he still balks until he tries the food, at which point he gladly starts fighting with Suga Mama over it.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: They are rude to Oscar even when he's a good host.
* TalkToTheFist: When Maureen insults Suga Mama in front of her, Suga Mama retaliates by giving her an elbow blow. Maureen’s response, however, occurs offscreen.

!!Recurring Characters

[[folder:Mr. Chips]]
-> '''Voiced By:''' Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson

Oscar Proud's pet monkey that was introduced in Season 3 and started to help him out more in the Proud Snax Factory.
----
* ButtMonkey: Pun aside, Mr. Chips is constantly at the abuse of Oscar but will often return the favor if needed.
* HiddenDepths: Despite being a monkey that is always dragged around by Oscar, Mr. Chips is actually pretty good at his job at the Proud Snacks factory. It even got to a point where he (a monkey) and Peebo (a child) are able to work a forklift while Oscar can't.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Al Roker]]

A TV weatherman who also happens to have powerful, wish-granting powers and serves as a minor antagonist in the series.
----
* AdamWesting: A bizarrely [[SelfDeprecation mean-spirited]] variant, the real-life NiceGuy TV weatherman Al Roker plays the ''decidedly'' [[{{jerkass}} less nice]] TV weatherman Al Roker.
* TheAtoner: Enforced. Due to his actions in "Tween Town," Roker's bosses forced him to make it up to Penny in "Twins to Tweens." He is a lot more cooperative this time around but of course that's mainly due to not wanting to lose his powers.
* BaldOfEvil: By the time of ''Louder and Prouder'', he’s completely bald to keep him up to date with his real life appearance at the time.
* DealWithTheDevil: His first appearance seems to imply he's the Devil.
* FatBastard: A very portly man who happens to love making other people's lives miserable.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Al Roker acts nice and polite on the outside but inside, he's a very manipulative and cruel man.
* JackassGenie: Has the powers of a genie and is most certainly not a nice guy. Especially on how much he mocks and belittles Penny.
* {{Jerkass}}: Whoo boy is he ever... This a guy who was eager to have ''babies'' work into slavery.
* RealityWarper: Roker appears to have genie-like powers that allow him to change the lives of others, appear in and out of the television set at will, and hear someone call his name from miles away. Turns out that these powers were given to him by his bosses.
* SelfDeprecation: It's TV weatherman Al Roker playing a version of himself that's a JackassGenie BitchInSheepsClothing. It can only be this trope.
* WouldHurtAChild: Roker has no qualms over having babies work in his factory.

!!One-Shot Characters

[[folder:The Altos]]

A gang of thugs who, like the Gross Sisters, steal money from others. They only appear in the episode of the same name. The group consists of Punch, Stomp and Slapmaster. Sticky temporarily joins them.
----
* BigThinShortTrio: Punch is the big, Slapmaster is the short, and Stomp is the thin. Although Slapmaster is also thin, he's shorter in height than Stomp.
* {{Catchphrase}}: All three of them in a sing-song tone often say "We're The Altos!".
** Also Punch has said a couple of times "The Altos steal from everybody!"
* CheatersNeverProsper: They actually almost avert this. Thanks to Sticky getting the answers to the scavenger hunt ahead of time, The Altos actually won the competition at the end. However, Sticky finally confesses that he helped them cheat causing The Altos to be disqualified.
* EvilerThanThou: The Altos are basically the Gross Sisters without ''any'' redeeming qualities. They're willing to steal from anybody while the Gross Sisters limit themselves to Penny and her friends.
* ExactWords: When Punch said that The Altos steal from everybody, they mean ''everybody'' including Wizard Kelly!
* GangOfBullies: Like with the Gross Sisters, The Altos consists of three members who all bully other kids and cheat in contests.
* PunnyName: Played with. Oscar jokes about Punch's last name being "Bag" but Punch corrects him saying it's "You Out."
* ShoutOut: The Altos were a very obvious riff on ''Series/TheSopranos'' back when it was still on the air.
* TheVoiceless: Averted a bit. Slapmaster and Stomp only talk whenever the group says "We're The Altos!" but besides that, they don't really have any lines with Punch doing all of the talking.

[[folder:Kwok Wong]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b1dba321_6f62_46d8_b2fc_72b97bf96fef.jpeg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DanteBasco
One of Penny’s classmates (and one of her many LoveInterests) who was her leading man in the school’s production of ''Romeo and Juliet''. He is also good at beat poetry.
----
* ArrangedMarriage: Was in one in his debut episode due to a tradition of where his parents were from in China. It’s ultimately called off by the end of the episode, though, due to the fact that he and his bride-to-be couldn’t stand each other.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Agatha Ordinario]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Erica Rivera

A student at Penny's school whose plain face hides a beautiful singing voice.
----
* BeautifulSingingVoice: Despite her plain, nerdy appearance, she's a very talented singer. She can sing so beautifully that, during the Tween Idol finals, she moves normally CausticCritic Percival to ManlyTears.
* {{Gonk}}: She is rather homely, so Oscar doesn't want her to win, and Wizard Kelly rigs the contest so that Agatha loses.
* MeaningfulName: Her last name, Ordinario, refers to her plain looks. However, once she sings, it becomes an IronicName, as her talent is anything but ordinary.
* NerdGlasses: It goes well with her plain face.
* PubescentBraces: She wears braces as part of her HollywoodHomely look.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Sunny Stevens]]
[[quoteright:259:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/download_822.jpeg]]
[[caption-width-right:259:Oh no you didn't!]]
-> '''Voiced By:''' Creator/GabrielleUnion

An actress from Penny's favorite show "Iesha"
----
* FreudianExcuse: The reason why Sunny's attitude wasn't the best is because she was fed up with the issues she was dealing with by being famous.
* FriendlessBackground: While crying in the trailer, she talks about how hard it is for her to make friends because some people think she’s already above them.
* GirlishPigtails: Her character Iesha has these.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: As it turns out, Iesha isn't simply being a diva when her show returns. She's actually unhappy because she wanted the show to be cancelled so she could have a normal life for once.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Sunny admits to having difficulties making friends because the people she tries to befriend think she’s too good for them.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sunny comes off as abrasive and a diva at first, but she shows a softer side later in the episode. While she’s upset with Penny for cutting her vacation short, she also acknowledged how much of a good fan Penny was and she said she didn’t want to let Penny down.
* LonelyAtTheTop: As mentioned in the FriendlessBackground entry, Sunny admits to having issues making friends due to her celebrity lifestyle.
* NiceCharacterMeanActor: Sunny Stevens is a mild version of this. Her character of Iesha is viewed as a positive role model, especially by Penny, but she's an abrasive diva in real life. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in that she's more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who is just sour because of how badly her fame impacted her ability to make friends.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Chester]]
-> '''Voiced By:''' Creator/BillyWest

A duck that Penny rescued in "Psycho Duck" and ends up living up to the episode's title name.
----
* AttentionWhore: Only wants Penny's attention to himself which is why he drives away her friends despite Penny being very upset with him.
* AxCrazy: Chester constantly flips out on people for little to no reason. Especially if they come close to Penny. There is a reason he's referred to as "Psycho Duck."
* BerserkButton: Chester will beat up anyone that gets even close to Penny. Even if they aren't doing her any harm. Also, Oscar himself has become this to Chester.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: This is sorta played with. Chester only acts nice around Penny but is openly hostile toward her friends and family.
** The episode also pulls a BaitAndSwitch with everyone's opinion of him. It intially seems like Oscar is the only who notices his real personality. Then it turns out everyone was aware of how evil Chester was...Oscar's just the only one stupid enough not to play dumb to avoid getting attacked.
* CurbstompBattle: Anyone that dares to fight Chester will be in the receiving end of this. Even the Gross Sisters!
* TheDreaded: Quickly becomes this to anyone that isn't named "Penny." And even then just barely.
* HairTriggerTemper: He has a temper that rivals WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck‘s, but is way worse.
* {{Jerkass}}: A very unpleasant duck that uses fear and intimidation to get what he wants.
* KarmaHoudini: He got away with being very unpleasant to the Prouds.
* RichBitch: Turns out, Chester's owner is very rich which most likely explains Chester's self-centered behavior.
* SpoiledBrat: Chester certainly acts this way as he lashes out whenever he doesn't get what he wants. Hell, Penny not allowing him to go to school with her (since, obviously, they don't allow ducks or other wild animals) is what caused him to become even more bitter and take over the Proud residence. When it's later revealed that Chester's owner is very rich, it all makes sense as Chester is most likely spoiled by his owner every day.
* SuperDrowningSkills: Despite being a duck, Chester can't swim. This is how Oscar and the others manage to get rid of him by leaving him stranded on a raft in the middle of a lake.
* ToothyBird: Has incredibly sharp teeth for a duck.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Loves worms to the point that, according to Trudy, they're the only thing that calms him down (and watching cartoons).
* WouldHitAGirl: Chester easily thrashes the Gross Sisters when Nubia threatened Penny. And it's pretty clear he'll hurt other girls as well.

* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Clone!Dr. Carver falls off the blimp and falls into the ocean but not before getting hit by the Peanut Liquification Gas and turning back into a peanut. So he won't be coming back from that.]]
* EvilDoppelganger: Not only is this Dr. Carver an evil clone, he made clones out of the Proud Family to retrieve Oscar's formula.

----------

* HatesEveryoneEqually: By everyone, we mean ''everyone''. Girl's clearly got trust issues.
* {{Hypocrite}}: She hates Penny for being superficial, yet she teamed up with the most superficial girl (Lacienega) to take down Penny.
