12
13	[[folder:Roger]]
14	!!Capt. Roger Peralta
15	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/BradleyWhitford
16
17	Jake's father who abandoned him and his mother when he was a kid.
18	----
19	* AffablyEvil: Downplayed, since "evil" is a strong term to describe him. Nevertheless, he does possess a charming and likeable (albeit somewhat smarmy) persona underneath which is concealed a rather selfish jerk.
20	* BastardBegetter: In "Two Turkeys", Roger reveals that Jake has at least three half-sisters from affairs he had in international airport hubs, including Atlanta and Dallas-Fort Worth. Jake meets up with one of these sisters, Kate, in "DFW."
21	* CompetitionFreak: So competitive, that when he and Victor Santiago have a turkey carving competition, he slices his thumb clean off without noticing until it's too late. He seems to have passed this trait down to Jake.
22	* DisappearedDad: Left Jake and his mom when he was a kid, and barely had any relationship with one of his daughters, Kate.
23	* EasilyForgiven: ''Not'' by Jake, but by Karen. Although they've been estranged for many years, it's implied that she took him back the minute he asked her.
24	* {{Fingore}}: By Season 7, he's sliced off both his thumbs and had them surgically reattached.
25	* FreudianExcuse: His dad was an even bigger scumbag than he is, and it apparently goes back for several generations in the Peralta family.
26	* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: However, he admits he was still "a selfish dick," and that there is no "Peralta curse" -- rather, the abuse and crappy parenting is learned and repeated by the men in the family. He's genuinely pleased to see that Jake will break the cycle.
27	* HeelFaceTurn: Since receiving a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech dressing down]] from Jake over his selfishness, he's been making an effort to improve himself by going back to his ex-wife and trying to rebuild bridges with his son.
28	* HeelRealization: In "Karen Peralta", he claims that TheReasonYouSuckSpeech that Jake delivered to him in his previous appearance has been a catalyst for him to try and change his ways.
29	* HiddenDepths: Roger understands Spanish. Victor correctly guesses that he picked it up from one of his many mistresses.
30	* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Despite his seemingly high opinion of himself, his competitive and childish interactions with Amy's dad make it clear that he's very insecure deep down.
31	* MeaningfulName: A serial adulterer and ladies' man called [[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rogering Roger]].
32	* ParentalAbandonment: Walked out on Karen and Jake when Jake was a child, and only met one of his daughters, Kate, 9 times. It's probably safe to assume his relationships with his other kids isn't any better.
33	* ParentalSexualitySquick: Justified. He cheated on Karen a lot and left Jake with a lot of issues as a result.
34	* PrimalScene: Jake describes seeing him cheat on Karen a couple of times in a tone of horror.
35	* ReallyGetsAround: He was a serial philanderer while married, and hasn't slowed down since getting divorced. Also, Roger apparently has multiple children around the world (three daughters and an unknown number of sons), a fact that he only discloses to Jake while in the hospital.
36	** It's implied this is true for everyone in his profession. At one point, he confesses that the total number of his sexual partners is probably in the low 400s, which he claims is "the low end of average" for pilots. He also specifies all of Jake's half-siblings grew-up/live near major airline hubs.
37	* SilverFox: Downplayed, but he has a lot of affairs and very noticeable white hair.
38	* TookALevelInKindness: After getting back together with Karen, Roger makes some efforts at improving himself; he no longer cheats on her, and he and Jake form a decent enough relationship that they can comfortably share a beer and the good news of Jake's impending fatherhood.

41	[[folder:Karen]]
42	!!Karen Peralta
43	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/KateySagal
44
45	Jake's mother, who raised him mostly single-handed after his father left them.
46	----
47	* ExtremeDoormat: A rare positive version. Karen is very kind to ''everyone'', but also lets Roger mistreat her as a result.
48	* GoodParents: She wasn't able to be around as often as she would've liked, but she raised Jake completely on her own, and loves him with all her heart. Jake loves her just as much, and doesn't resent that she worked so much, understanding that she really did do the best she could, and, given the circumstances, she did quite well.
49	* GranolaGirl: She makes a living teaching elementary school art and seems to have a more hippy-ish outlook on life than her son or ex-husband. Her fashion sense and the decor around her home point to these tendencies, too.
50	* NiceGirl: She's shown to be a kind, loving, basically well-balanced person whose only possible failing is [[spoiler:deciding to take back her cheating ex]]; not to mention a rare example of the single mother archetype in a workplace sitcom, in that she raised her son alone without falling into MyBelovedSmother territory, and Jake neither turned out badly nor resented her for it.
51	* ParentalNeglect: A downplayed and justified example, since the main reason she wasn't able to spend more time with Jake was because she had to work a lot more in order to support them as a single mother. While this did arguably contribute in part to Jake's issues as a grown-up, unlike with Roger it's made clear that Jake understands the situation and holds no ill-will to his mother for it.
52	* {{Retcon}}: A possible example. Jake initially described his mother as a waitress who struggled to support them (leading to his hatred of Thanksgiving, due to her always working during the holiday). When she actually appears on screen, she's become a bohemian elementary school art teacher who lives in a decent-sized house and enjoys small luxuries. However, in the earlier episode Jake also notes that his mother had to work "more" to support them, so it's possible that waitressing was a second job on top of teaching.
53	* StrugglingSingleMother: It's implied she was this in the backstory, having to work extra hours in order to put food on the table. Consequentially, she often wasn't at home. Despite this, she and Jake are close.
54	* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Jake is understandably ''appalled'' when she gets back together with Roger, despite him having walked out on them, done nothing to help raise his son, cheated on her ''countless'' times, and being an all-around unlikable slimeball. Even ''she'' acknowledges that she really has no room to judge anyone, since she's dating Roger despite knowing full well what kind of person he is.

56
57	[[folder:Kate]]
58	!!Kate Peralta
59	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/NasimPedrad
60
61	Jake's half-sister from his dad's side.
62	----
63	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Jake, initially. Her loudness and carelessness easily grates on his nerves.
64	%% * BookDumb: Like her brother.
65	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's certainly very eccentric and is a lot like Jake was in Season 1. She also vapes on airplanes, punched a stewardess, and yelled at Port Authority cops in "DFW."
66	* ConMan: She carries a bag of glass with her so she can use the glass pieces to get things for free by pretending she found the glass in her food at a restaurant, or cutting herself and claiming that the airport she's at is responsible.
67	* CosmicPlaything: She barely met her father, had no siblings growing up, and her mother died just a month before. Shortly after that, she lost her job, and her boyfriend, Kurt, broke up with her for being "too sad" about her mother's passing. So when she found out she had a half-brother, Jake, she jumped at the chance to meet him, the only family she had left besides her father.
68	* CuteButCacophonic: Lively and adorable, with a singing voice that could shatter windows.
69	* DomesticAbuse: Kate's ex-boyfriend Kurt is shown to be emotionally abusive, having apparently dumped her for being "sad all the time" (because her mother had died a few months prior) and basically treating her like a doormat.
70	* EvilCounterpart: Downplayed, since Kate isn't so much "evil" as "incredibly reckless and irresponsible". Nevertheless, they're similar and it's made pretty clear that she is what Jake could have ended up like if he didn't have even the few stabilizing influences in his life (such as his mother, his job, his friends etc.) that he possessed and she lacked.
71	* DisappearedDad: Roger has abandoned her like he did with Jake.
72	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish sibling to Jake's responsible sibling, which is pretty surprising; Jake has a steady job, a healthy relationship, and an all-around stable life, whereas Kate's life could be charitably described as a dumpster fire, with her mother having died recently, dealing with an emotionally abusive ex (who is also an ex con), and seemingly having no career prospects beyond an [[HollywoodToneDeaf ill-considered]] plan to audition for ''Series/TheVoice'' and her tendency to use broken glass to avoid paying for things.
73	* HollywoodToneDeaf: She wants to audition for ''Series/TheVoice'' but she is an ''atrocious'' singer.
74	-->'''Kate:''' Don't worry. I'm going back to Dallas.You won't ever have to see me again. Until, that is, I'm on ''Series/TheVoice,'' and you'll see me ''(singing)'' eeeeeverywhere!\
75	'''Jake:''' Oh.\
76	'''Kate:''' Oh, you don't like my singing? Well, good, because that is the last time you get it, ''(singing)'' for freeeeeeee! ''(leaves)''\
77	'''Jake:''' [[CaptainObvious She's gonna do bad on]] ''Series/TheVoice.''
78	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kate is... a lot. She freely scams restaurants and airports, among other places, for free stuff, has punched a stewardess for not letting her vape on an airplane, and can be pretty self-centered, but she does acknowledge that she's a mess, does care about Jake, and is very touched by his BigBrotherInstinct towards her.
79	* LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: The men we see Kate hook up with are all bad, and her longterm boyfriend is an awful jerk.
80	* MissingMom: Her mom died only a month before and she's a very young woman.
81	* ReallyGetsAround: Slept with a total stranger during her first visit to New York.
82	* StepfordSmiler: She hides all her sadness with smiles and being wild.
83	[[/folder]]
84
85	[[folder:Walter]]
86	!!Adm. Walter Peralta
87	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MartinMull
88
89	Roger's father, whom he hasn't spoken to since Jake was ten.
90	----
91
92	* AbusiveParents: When you make ''Roger'' look like a loving and attentive father by comparison, you know it's bad. In one instance when Roger was a teenager, he didn't visit him in the hospital when he was there for ''three weeks'', because Roger got hurt crashing his boat. Granted, Walter told him not to use the boat, but still, that's cold. It's especially evident that Walter cares more about losing the boat than he does about the fact that his son was badly injured.
93	-->'''Walter:''' That boat was the child I never had.\
94	'''Roger:''' I was the child you ''did'' have!
95	* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite his many other flaws, Walter isn't homophobic; when updating Roger on his various aunts and uncles, Walter nods in agreement when Roger says "good for him" upon hearing that his Uncle Dean is gay. It's also implied that Walter didn't attend a family reunion where Dean wasn't welcome because of his sexuality.
96	* FreudianExcuse: His father abandoned him at a fair when he was a small child. This seems to be a trend for bad Peralta fathers as his grandfather fled to America after murdering his great-grandfather.
97	* {{Jerkass}}: He's overall just a very unpleasant old guy.
98	* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Unlike Roger, Walter doesn't truly change as a father.
99	* NeverMyFault: He's quick to blame Roger first for wrecking the gender reveal cake (despite Walter throwing the can of beer that knocked the cake over) and then for accidentally making the replacement cake green (despite Walter also helping bake the replacement cake).
100	* PetTheDog: For all his faults, he seems to treat Jake well with the brunt of his abuse being directed toward Roger.
101	* ScatterbrainedSenior: Subverted; according to Roger, Walter will fake moments of senility whenever he doesn't want to engage in any situation.
102	* ShellShockedVeteran: He's prone to bringing up random horrifying battles. Surprise parties, for example, bring the surprise attack of Pearl Harbor to mind.

106	!Holt's Family
107
108	[[folder:Kevin]]
109	!!Kevin Cozner
110	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cozner_kevin.jpg]]
111	[[caption-width-right:350:''"Our home has a "no shoptalk" policy. I don't bring home Beowulf, and he doesn't bring home cop stories."'']]
112	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MarcEvanJackson
113
114	Captain Holt's husband, a university lecturer who shares Holt's unique sense of humor.
115	----
116	* AlliterativeName: His given name and last name begin with the same sound.
117	* AlmostFamousName: Aside from a 'z' instead of an 's', he has the same name as a certain Hollywood actor. {{Lampshaded}} InUniverse by Jake: "Kevin ''Cozzner''? Is he the star of ''[[Film/DancesWithWolves Danzzes with Wolvezz]]''?"
118	* BadassBookworm: In "Safe House", he defeats Seamus Murphy by the power of BigDamnHeroes.
119	* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's normally polite, if a bit snarky, but you mess with Holt, ''you pay''. This is revealed to be why he initially gave the entire squad the cold shoulder -- he associated all cops with the mistreatment Holt received for years as a black gay man in the force. He grows more tolerant over the seasons when he saw how much they respected and cared about his husband, though is never particularly interested in their cop-business.
120	** [[spoiler: Seamus Murphy has been threatening Holt and forced Kevin into a safe house, but when Holt is taken hostage and almost murdered, Kevin punches him right in the throat and [[CarFu drives his car through a wall]], taking out several of Murphy's men!]]
121	** He also snaps at his boss, Dean Allister, after he's been demeaning Holt for years.
122	* BigDamnKiss: [[spoiler:Finally does one with Holt in Season 8 when they reconcile. It's a really, really big deal, not just because they got back together after over a year of torment, but because they previously had never kissed or shown much affection beyond a firm handshake.]]
123	* BirdsOfAFeather: With Holt. Though apparently they consider themselves quite different, with Kevin insisting that Ray is "the funny one" in the relationship, much to everyone else's bewilderment.
124	* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Holt claims Kevin's parents are huge homophobes, and blame him for turning their son gay with his "magical genitalia."
125	* ADayInTheLimelight: "Safe House" in Season 5 features Kevin in a starring role alongside Jake.
126	* DefrostingIceKing: Mild example. He didn't like the Nine Nine in Season 1 or any member of the NYPD (expect Holt, obviously) because of Holt's previous mistreatment and what he sees as their ingrained homophobia. He grew to care for them more, and treats Gina well in "The Wednesday Incident", and Jake and he bond in "Safe House" and eventually regarded him with the same begrudged affection Holt does.
127	* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite being just as stoic as his husband, Kevin calls both Holt and Rosa "sociopaths" for thinking that Rosa using a brief text message to break up with Marcus would be a good idea.
128	* FriendlyAddressPrivileges: Downplayed, allows Peralta to call him "Kev" once in the first season.
129	* GrandRomanticGesture: He spends most of Season 8 [[spoiler:very subtly wishing to repair his relationship with Holt. He leaves in “The Lake House” instead of telling Holt he still has feelings for him, and though he’s clearly disappointed Holt is in his house looking for a book in “Balancing,” he doesn’t tell Holt as much. However, in “Game of Boyles,” when he learns Holt has made a dating profile, Kevin [[RaceForYourLove runs through the city]] [[RomanticRain in the rain]] to the precinct to ask Holt if it’s too late for Kevin to tell him he wants to stay together. Holt welcomes him back with open arms.]]
130	* HappilyMarried: While its sometimes a bit hard to see due to how little they express any kind of emotion, even with each other, they are a legitimately happy couple who have been together for years and clearly deeply love each other.
131	** [[spoiler:Season 8 starts with them having separated due to Holt ignoring his personal life while having to face the [=COVID-19=] pandemic, black lives matter protests while being a gay, black police officer. That said, by the end of the second episode, they realize they still have feelings for each other and decide to go into couple's therapy]].
132	** [[spoiler:In the second-to-last episode of the series, Holt and Kevin renew their vows.]]
133	* HiddenDepths: With that said, Holt does make repeated references to how he feels he has sacrificed his relationship with Kevin for his ambitions in the police force.
134	* IvyLeagueForEveryone: He's a professor and department head at Columbia University.
135	* MinoredInAsskicking: While he's not a cop, he also knows how to defend himself -- ask Seamus Murphy about his trachea after Kevin expertly busted it with a single jab.
136	-->'''Kevin:''' [[BondOneLiner Better get some corticosteroids to treat that laryngeal fracture.]]
137	* NotSoAboveItAll: Prolonged exposure to Jake gives him a knowledge of Nicolas Cage movies, pop culture, and memes, much to Kevin's dismay.
138	** He gets deeply involved with the the annual heist by the time Season 6 rolls around and even engages in some rather disturbing trash talking with Jake and Terry.
139	--> '''Kevin''': I'm going to slice off your Achilles tendons, peel off your fingernails, and stick knitting needles in your eyes.
140	* OnlySaneMan: When Holt tells him Rosa's plan to break up with Marcus, he calls them both sociopaths. He may be TheStoic, but he has more of an understanding of human emotion than his husband and Rosa.
141	* PromotionToParent: One-sided. Jake asks him and Holt to be his fathers in "Safe House". However, despite his initial reluctance and disdain, Kevin does start warming up to Jake as the series progresses and even offers fatherly advice from time to time.
142	* PutOnABus: He spends most of Season 3 taking a research sabbatical in Paris...
143	* TheBusCameBack: ... but he's back in New York by Season 4.
144	* TheStoic: Even more than Holt, which is surprising to even Jake -- he delivers everything he says in a monotonous tone, maintains a quiet job as part of a university faculty, and doesn't express much more emotion than his husband.
145	* StraightGay: Just like Holt, there's no overt indications that Kevin is gay and is incredibly against any sort of PDA when in the presence of company (until Season 8, the furthest we ever see of his and Holt's affection is a handshake).

147
148	[[folder:Debbie]]
149	!!Debbie Holt
150	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/NiecyNash
151
152	Captain Holt's annoying younger sister, and Marcus's mother.
153	----
154	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Holt dreads her visits, since she's such a drama queen. However, it's ultimately downplayed. He clearly loves her, used to play with her when they were children, and as an adult, he immediately puts his annoyance aside when he finds out she's been having a ''really'' rough time. Debbie, for her part, obviously loves Raymond a lot, and fondly remembers when he set up a fort in their kitchen for her when they were kids.
155	-->'''Debbie:''' What happened to my fun older brother?\
156	'''Holt:''' Fun? I was never fun! You take that back!
157	* DramaQueen: She's known as the drama queen of the Holt family. Terry and Gina initially think this is an exaggeration, only to find out it's really, ''really'' not. Holt even gave her the nickname "Hurricane Debbie." However, it turns out that she ''does'' have real problems, and that venting to her older brother is how she copes.
158	* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: She's absolutely nothing like her mother or brother.
159	%% * SassyBlackWoman: She fits most of the traits of this archetype.
160	* SiblingYinYang: She's loud, outgoing and vivacious, making her pretty much the exact opposite of her stern, stoic older brother.
161	[[/folder]]
162
163	[[folder:Laverne]]
164	!!Judge Laverne Holt
165	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/LScottCaldwell
166
167	Holt and Debbie's mother, Marcus's grandmother, and a federal judge for the New York Court of Appeals. Introduced in "Your Honor," when her apartment is robbed and Holt enlists Peralta's help in solving the case.
168	----
169	* TheComicallySerious: It's easy to see where Holt's stoicism comes from.
170	* CoolOldLady: Unlike her son Holt, Laverne delights (well, as far as she can emote) in Jake's goofy antics and becomes good friends with him over the course of their time together. Enough to confide in him about her love life and not her own son.
171	* InformedAttribute: Apparently enjoys laughing and humor, despite not partaking in either. Most definitely PlayedForLaughs.
172	* LikeParentLikeChild: Like her son, she is an African-American person in a position of authority within US law enforcement, maintains a constant deadpan and stone-faced expression and enjoys intellectual pursuits like wine tasting.
173	* TheStoic: Again, the somber apple did not fall very far from the tree.
174	[[/folder]]
175
176	[[folder:Marcus]]
177	!!Marcus
178	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/NickCannon
179
180	Debbie's son, Captain Holt's nephew, and Laverne's grandson, who's staying with Holt and Kevin while in New York. He ends up getting romantically involved with Rosa.
181	----
182	* FlatCharacter: We know he's Captain Holt's nephew, he's into Rosa... "Boyle-Linetti Wedding" reveals that he watches ''Series/{{Bones}}''... and "Captain Peralta" suggests that he likes Music/{{Beyonce}}. That's pretty much it.
183	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The sensitive, love-loving, charming Feminine Boy to Rosa's [[TheStoic stoic]], rough, [[TheLadette Masculine Girl]].
184	* {{Nephewism}}: He's Holt's nephew, and the only younger relative that he's shown to have. Justified, given that Holt is openly gay (meaning that he doesn't have any children for obvious reasons).
185	* NiceGuy: So far he's the only love interest in the show not to have any major quirks; he's just a nice, well-balanced guy who's interested in Rosa.
186	* OnlyOneName: We never learn his last name. Given that we're never told whether he's related to Holt via his mother or his father, it's unclear whether his full name is "Marcus Holt".
187	* OnlySaneMan: He's this in the Holt family. He's not stoic to the point of being robotic like Laverne, Raymond, or Kevin, nor is he ridiculously dramatic like Debbie.
188	* ProneToTears: A downplayed example, and it's made more apparent by being contrasted so often with Holt and Rosa, but he is a very sensitive and emotionally-driven guy, who cries even at commercials.
189	* SatelliteLoveInterest: Despite having another relation to the main cast (he's Holt's nephew as well as Rosa's boyfriend), he gets even less characterisation than Teddy did.
190	* TenderTears: He is very empathetic. He cries at a ''fridge commercial''.
191	[[/folder]]
192
193	[[folder:Cheddar]]
194	!!Cheddar
195
196	Captain Holt's beloved pet dog, a corgi.
197	----
198	* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: A downplayed example; he acts like a normal dog in his appearances, but it is often suggested that Holt has managed to train him far beyond what a normal dog should be capable of, and tends to talk to him as if he had human-level sapience.
199	** Holt uses him in two Halloween heists to retrieve the object of important from where others hid it. He specifically notes in "Halloween IV" that he "trained Cheddar to retrieve plaques."
200	** Parodied in the episode that bears his name. Cheddar escapes Jake's dogsitting due to a series of events. Jake assumes Cheddar is up to nefarious schemes...when in fact he's just being a happy little corgi running around the area, like any dog out for a run.
201	* TheComicallySerious: Not Cheddar himself, but a lot of the humor surrounding him is in the way the other characters treat him with the utmost seriousness, despite him being, you know, an adorable dog.
202	-->'''Jake:''' ''(looking Cheddar in the eye, dead serious)'' Do NOT blow this for us!\
203	'''Cheddar:''' ''(vacant, cheerful stare)''
204	* GenderEqualsBreed: Averted for his accidental puppies. Both are male like him, but look exactly like their Rottweiler mother.
205	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Played for laughs. Cheddar is apparently agreeable enough as a dog that he's easy for anyone to train, even if they're not his owners. This results in Cheddar being used by various members of the 99 for the heists, which means on some occasions, he betrays his "dad" Holt when these heists are happening.
206	--> '''Holt''': You duplicitous bitch.
207	* PreciousPuppies: Rare are his appearances that don't involve him doing something adorable.
208	* ReplacementGoldfish: Played with, during one Halloween episode, wherein the squad tries to fool Holt by using a fake Cheddar. On a bigger level, a bit of this and TheOtherDarrin -- the dog actor they use is different from the first to second and later seasons (in the first season, Cheddar is white and tan, and in the second he's black and tan, then back to white and tan in the third season) [[note]]The second and third dog actors are, respectively, Stewart and Stella. Stella was brought in as Cheddar because Stewart died.[[/note]].
209	* UncattyResemblance: Psychologically, not physically; Cheddar is apparently just as stoic as Holt and Kevin are.
210	** Holt identifies him after he's been missing by how firm his "shake" is.

220	----
221	* DotingParent: She adores Gina and they get along great.
222	* GenerationXerox: Downplayed; she shares Gina's quirks and high-maintenance nature, but she's much nicer and more easygoing than her daughter.
223	* OppositesAttract: She falls in love with Charles's dad, Lynn.

233	----
234	* ActuallyPrettyFunny: While Terry is annoyed by Jake calling himself Sharon's Godhusband after being named godfather, Sharon can't help but crack up a little over it. She also agrees with Jake comparing a doula to a "vaginal Gandalf".
235	* ADayInTheLimelight: "Ava" features her in a prominent role, and shows her interacting with the cast outside of Terry (mostly Jake).
236	* HappilyMarried: She and Terry are very happy together and they have three kids. We see some arguments or issues they face (like Sharon being angry at Terry to have lied about going back to field), but they are consistently a very happy, committed couple.

242
243	Terry's twin daughters.
244	----
245
246	* ChildrenAreInnocent: They're sweet kids who are still learning about things like racism and sexism.
247	* DaddysGirl: Terry adores them both, and the feeling seems to be mutual.
248	* ADayInTheLimelight: "Moo-Moo" has them heavily featured in the B-plot.
249	* EvilTwin: {{Discussed}}. Jake, being, well, Jake, declares that in every set of twins, one of them is always evil. He's decided it's Cagney, for some reason. In reality, both girls seem to be sweet, normal kids.
250	* FromTheMouthsOfBabes: "Moo-Moo" features two back-to-back examples, one PlayedForDrama and one PlayedForLaughs. Jake and Amy are thrown for a loop when the girls ask them, point-blank, if Terry got stopped by a cop because he's black, and if being black means they'll get in trouble, too. Later in the episode, they ask similarly serious questions about racism and police, which they immediately follow up with asking what an orgasm is.
251	* SecurityBlanket: Cagney has a blankie she's named "Moo-Moo," and she can't sleep without it.
252	* ThemeTwinNaming: Named after the show, ''Series/CagneyAndLacey''.
253	* UnusualPopCultureName: Paired with ShoutOutThemeNaming and ThemeTwinNaming -- they're named for the show ''Series/CagneyAndLacey''. Both names are uncommon, but the show stars NYPD officers like their father.

260	----
261	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After her birth she is mentioned occasionally (Terry mentions her by name in [[Recap/BrooklynNineNineS5E07TwoTurkeys Two Turkeys]] as her birthday was approaching and in another episode, he mentions having three kids), but never physically appears at all while Cagney and Lacey do.

268	Terry's brother-in-law who often bullies Terry for his height.
269	----
270	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He's even bigger than Terry is. Keep in mind that Terry is portrayed by ''Terry Crews''.
271	* BigBrotherBully: Or rather, brother-in-law to Terry.
272	* {{Hypocrite}}: He heaps shame on Terry for prioritizing police emergencies over family gatherings, but Zeke has been unemployed for years while abusing Terry's hospitality.
273	* {{Jerkass}}: Even ignoring him mocking Terry's height and muscle mass, he also does other mean things like steal Terry's food.
274	* ObnoxiousInLaws: Downplayed, Zeke doesn't hate Terry and even shows occasional moments of awe and respect. But he does happily push him around and undermine him in his own home.
275	* PetTheDog: When he thinks Holt is a MeanBoss, he temporarily eases up on Terry and even expresses some genuine sympathy.

280	[[folder:Lynn]]
281	!!Lynn Boyle
282	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/StephenRoot
283
284	Charles's five-times divorced father, who works as a florist. He becomes romantically involved with Gina's mother, Darlene.
285	----
286	* AlliterativeName: After marrying Darlene, he changes his name to '''L'''ynn '''L'''inetti.
287	* GenerationXerox: He's every bit as awkward and weird as his son.
288	* InelegantBlubbering: While we don't see it, he apparently cried for ''five hours'' straight upon learning [[spoiler: his wife had an affair and he is not Charles' real father.]]
289	* OppositesAttract: He falls in love with Gina's mom, Darlene.
290	* ParentalNeglect: A downplayed example. He clearly loves his son Charles and the two get on very well, but there are some hints that Lynn ranks Charles lower in his affections and priorities than is perhaps appropriate for a father to do with his son.
291	* UnfortunateNames: Takes Darlene's name when they get married, becoming Lynn Linetti. Gina is appalled.

295	!!Genevieve Mirren-Carter
296	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MaryLynnRajskub
297
298	A woman Boyle meets and hits it off with... right as she's getting arrested. However, Jake and Boyle prove her innocent, so she and Charles begin a relationship. They later adopt a son together.
299	----
300	* FrameUp: She was framed for insurance fraud by her ex-boyfriend's assistant.
301	* GoodParents: She obviously loves Nikolaj a lot, and treats him no different than she would if he was her biological child.
302	* HappilyMarried: Subverted -- the marriage part, not the happiness part. Despite loving Charles dearly, being committed to him, and even adopting a child with him, she has no desire to get married again, thanks to her nasty divorce. Pimento later refers to Genevieve as Charles' "wife", but that may simply be because he doesn't know otherwise. Fortunately, Charles also went through similar struggles and feels the same way.
303	* LoveAtFirstSight: With Charles, they were instantly besotted with each other and never have any romantic issues that we know of.
304	* NiceGirl: She's very kind and friendly, just like Boyle. She's less weird about it, though.
305	* OutOfFocus: She only appears on the show in four episodes, despite being frequently referenced by Boyle. By Season 5, she's practically TheGhost.
306	* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: With Charles. She picks up on all his food references and follows them easily.
307	* TooMuchInformation: She's only too happy to share explicit details of hers and Charles' romantic life.

311	!!Nikolaj Boyle
312	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/AntonioRaulCorbo
313
314	Boyle's adopted son from Latvia.
315	----
316	* AccidentalMisnaming: Everyone mispronounces his name, although that's only according to his parents (adopted and biological). To the audience it sounds pretty correct.
317	* AffectionateNickname: His parents sometimes call him Nik-Nik.
318	* CheerfulChild: He's a very happy boy.
319	* HappilyAdopted: His adoptive parents adore him, and he seems to reciprocate.
320	* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Downplayed, as Nikolaj himself is still a child and seems to be very well-adjusted, but Charles occasionally references the child-trafficking ring he was part of with a dose of BlackComedy.
321	* NiceGuy: Much like Boyle, Nikolaj is sweet-natured and generous -- perhaps overly generous. In the ''Series/NewGirl'' crossover, it's Nikolaj who ends up giving a big amount of money to Nick and Winston's failed busking act.
322	* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: His actor is clearly American, not Latvian.
323	* OrphanageOfFear: Raised in one, not so much for how he was treated as the series of improbably disastrous events that befall it.
324	* PerpetualSmiler: Whenever we see Nikolaj, he's smiling.
325	* PickyEater: Much to his foodie father's dismay. To such a extent that he only eats buttered noodles and only drinks milk.
326	* TangledFamilyTree: His birth father and his half-brother are half-brothers.

332
333	Boyle has a very large extended family, almost all incredibly similar. He has cousins everywhere, and they are all uncomfortably close.
334	----
335	* BlackSheep: Milton Boyle is apparently this in the eyes of the other Boyles, for being ugly and dropping out of college. Actually, he is quite handsome and dropped out to become a professional snowboarder, and now has his own sports-wear company, and is involved in charitable organizations. Try telling any of this to Charles, though.
336	* CreepyGood: They're all just as weird and socially awkward as Charles, but they're genuinely decent and supportive of each other.
337	* GenderBlenderName: Tina Boyle, a male Boyle cousin. It's short for Christina. There's also a cousin named "Becca", and both "boy Cory" and "girl Cory".
338	* SharedFamilyQuirks: Almost too many to mention. They pretty much only wears shades of beige (bought at 'Mervyns'), and ends pretty much all conversations with each other with "I Love You", even if they only just met.

345	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/JimmySmits
346
347	Amy's father and a decorated former police officer.
348	----
349	* BadassBookworm: He's an extremely eloquent and well read former cop.
350	* BigScrewedUpFamily: When he was young, he and his massive family used to get into arguments during their own Thanksgiving, which apparently landed him in the emergency room on more than one occasion. This allows him to ultimately get along with Jake's parents, as he doesn't take the disagreements personally.
351	* BoyfriendBlockingDad: He does a ton of research of Jake to make sure he's good enough for Amy. He also briefly loses his cool upon finding out that Jake and Amy have had sex. However, Amy eventually chews him out and lets him know how sexist and outdated this mindset is.
352	* CompetitionFreak: He's ridiculously competitive, a trait he's passed on to his daughter. He was even kicked off a bird watching tour due to his aggressive behavior.
353	* CoolOldGuy: Despite being just as uptight as his daughter, he's not nearly as awkward. Being played by Jimmy Smits helps.
354	* HappilyMarried: In sharp contrast to Jake's parents, Victor and his wife have had a long and loving marriage. They also apparently have a ''very'' active sex life (which probably explains why they have eight children).
355	* InSeriesNickname: The Lion.
356	* JerkassHasAPoint: While he was being overprotective and sexist in saying Jake wasn't good enough for Amy, the fact that Jake has an [[BeyondTheImpossible impossibly low credit rating]] and [[NoodleIncident an order of protection against him from Taylor Swift]] are objectively valid reasons for a father to not want his daughter to date a guy.
357	* LikeParentLikeChild: He and Amy are very much alike, right down to the personality quirks and choice of profession. He even had a ponytail in the 90's.
358	* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Averted. He and Jake are both great detectives, but the similarities end there.
359	* ObsessivelyOrganized: Amy says that he arranges the money in his wallet by ''serial number''.
360	* ThePerfectionist: Much like his daughter.
361	* TookALevelInKindness: In his second appearance, he's considerably nicer to Jake and even states that he considers Jake part of his family now.

364	[[folder:Camila]]
365	!!Camila Santiago
366	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/BertilaDamas
367
368	Amy's mother and Victor's wife. She encourages competitiveness in her family.
369	----
370	* CompetitionFreak: Like her husband and daughter.
371	* ControlFreak: Despite being invited to Thanksgiving dinner by Jake's mom, she makes her own turkey "just in case." In a later episode, Jake calls her out for bringing her own coffee to his and Amy's apartment whenever she comes over.
372	* HappilyMarried: To Victor. She brags to Jake's mom that she and Victor have never had a rough patch in their marriage, and she describes him as "the best" at sex ([[ParentalSexualitySquick in front of Amy]]).
373	* InnocentlyInsensitive: She acts pretty condescending towards Jake's parents, seemingly without realizing what she's doing. Similarly, she doesn't seem to realize how much damage she does to Amy's confidence by constantly singing David praises.
374	* ObnoxiousInLaws: She's constantly passive-aggressive and subtly condescending towards Jake, which he angrily chastises her for along with constantly underappreciating Amy.
375	* ParentalFavoritism: ''Very'' openly plays favorites with her eight children, without a hint of shame at that. She even arranges their portraits in the order of who makes her proudest. (To be fair, Amy says both her parents do this, but so far, Camila's the only one whose favoritism we've seen in action.) David's always been ''the'' favorite, much to Amy's chagrin.
376	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: On the receiving end. Jake tears into her when she ruins Amy and David's moment by displaying yet again her ParentalFavoritism for the latter.

378
379	[[folder:David]]
380	!!Lt. David Santiago
381	!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/LinManuelMiranda
382
383	One of Amy's seven brothers and a lieutenant in the NYPD.
384	----
385	* TheAce: Is a Lieutenant, has a Platinum shooting certification, is trained to give the Heimlich maneuver, is fluent in Portuguese… he does everything, he does it well, and most importantly, he does it better than Amy.
386	* AchievementsInIgnorance: Apparently a lot of the amazing things he did, he did them without knowing, planning, or understanding their significance/difficulty. He got a perfect score (for no reason, according to him) on the lieutenant's exam without planning to even take it (his partner got sick and David wanted to send money home to his family), learned Portuguese while building a school in Rio, and talked a future Academy-award-winning actress down from committing suicide (without knowing or caring who she was).
387	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: No matter what Amy does, David always happens to have done the same thing, only better. Except dancing. He is as bad as, if not worse than she is at that. Which begs the question: Is he worse at dancing, or better at bad dancing than Amy?
388	* AmbiguouslyBi: Agreed to Jakes assertion that all Brazilian mobsters are gorgeous, regardless of gender, without hesitation.
389	* CelebrityParadox:
390	** In Season 4, Gina ditched the Nine-Nine to go see ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'', which, at the time, starred David's actor.
391	** In the episode right before David appears, Jake mentions being a fan of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' growing up. His actor voices Gizmoduck in [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017 the show's reboot.]]
392	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: His desire not only to constantly act as heroically as possible, but to be recognised as such whenever he can, causes serious friction between he and Amy.
393	* CompetitionFreak: He displays the Santiago family trait of always having to one-up everyone else, including his numerous allergies, and [[SucksAtDancing dancing]].
394	* ImprobableAimingSkills: He has a platinum shooting certification from the NYPD after firing ten shots into the same hole.
395	* InsufferableGenius: He ''very'' firmly believes in his own hype, humble-bragging to the extent that you just want to smack him in the face. (And, unsurprisingly, Amy comes close). Even when Amy ''calls him out for bragging'' he insists it's not bragging to only claim to know "a little" Portuguese when he's actually fluent, and ignoring the fact that he said he learned it while building a school for charity.
396	* ParodySue: Seriously, what ''can't'' he do? (Besides dance). His only other deficiency is a lack of knowledge of pop culture, which only means he doesn't get Jake's references.
397	* PassThePopcorn: He watches Jake chew out his mother for many of her shortcomings while eating bread with a satisfied look on his face.
398	* PetTheDog: Subverted. He sincerely tries to do this by letting Amy take the shot at the fleeing mobsters who have Jake, but Amy calls him out on it since he genuinely has better aim and as her husband is in danger she's not concerned with being bolstered right then. Played straight when he also praises Amy to their mom for finding the ledger that clears his name.
399	* SiblingRivalry: Amy is constantly comparing herself to David and finding herself coming up short.
400	* SharedFamilyQuirks: Not only is he bad at dancing like Amy, he's bad in the exact same way. Lin Manuel Miranda says he learned Amy's dance long before he was cast for the part.
401	** Like Amy, he seeks constructive criticism. Unlike Amy, he's so perfect he never gets it.
402	* SucksAtDancing: Seems to be a family trait -- his dance-off with Amy involves him bragging about how much he's using his elbows.

413
414	Rosa's conservative father.
415	----
416	* BrutalHonesty: He very bluntly admits that he doesn't like Jake, despite the fact that Jake is sitting right across from him.
417	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Of a variety. Before he's ever seen, Rosa describes him and his wife as obnoxiously cheerful and affectionate people. When he shows up he's far from it. Rosa might just have been exaggerating about their cheerfulness, since that is what she does with almost everybody who expresses a modicum of emotion.
418	* CompetitionFreak: He takes family game night ''very'' seriously.
419	* DeathGlare: He gives one to Jake that nearly turns the poor guy into mush.
420	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Oscar is rude and bigoted, but ultimately his love for his daughter does overcome his prejudice.
421	* LikeParentLikeChild: Rosa definitely takes after his tough, no-nonsense, yet sensitive demeanor.
422	* LikeParentUnlikeChild: Rosa's sister, the one time she's seen in a flashback, truly is the "Smiley Moron" she initially described him as.
423	* MistakenForCheating: Believes that Jake is dating his daughter and becomes angry when he sees a picture of Jake with his actual fiancé Amy. When Rosa reveals the truth, he then thinks that Jake is cheating on Amy with Rosa, which gives Rosa the courage to reveal the true reason for meeting them.
424	* NoBisexuals: He doesn't believe bisexuality is a real thing. [[spoiler:He thankfully starts to come around on this point, though he says his wife will need more time.]]
425	* RealMenWearPink: Despite his FaceOfAThug, he's mentioned to be a teacher. Then there's also his open-mindedness towards Rosa's sexuality, and his love for [[SeriousBusiness game night]].
426	** ''Monster in the Closet'' also reveals he used to do Rosa's pigtails when she was a little girl.
427	* TheStoic: Much like his daughter, he doesn't emote much.
428	* ToughLove: Largely seems to have been his and Julia's parenting strategy; when Rosa was sent to juvie as a teenager, they gave her no support and left her to face the consequences of her actions alone. While Rosa at first claims to be grateful for this, as it encouraged her to shape up and take responsibility for herself, she later admits how hurtful it felt and that she wishes they had been there for her during that time.

438	** [[spoiler:He was proven right as of Season 6.]]
439	* IWantGrandkids: She wants Rosa to eventually settle down with a man and have kids. [[spoiler: This causes tension when Rosa reveals that she's dating a woman.]]
440	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:She takes longer to come around than her husband, but Julia eventually does reconcile with Rosa.]]
441	* LikeMotherUnlikeDaughter: She and her daughter Rosa couldn't be any less alike.
442	* MyBelovedSmother: She's very controlling and judgmental towards Rosa.
