6	[[folder:Josh Singleton]]
7	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/JGQuintel
8	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/josh_39.png]]
9	Emily's husband and Candice’s father, and a wannabe video game designer. Works for Plugger-Inners, a TV instillation company.
10	----
11	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: He is easily distracted from accomplishing whatever his goal happens to be at the time.
12	* AuthorAvatar: Basically an avatar of his voice actor, much like Mordecai from ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' was. It's even lampshaded in the episode where [[spoiler: Candice breaks the fourth wall and sees the studio that makes ''Close Enough'', and they don't change Josh's model to represent JG]].
13	* BattleCouple: Whenever he and Emily have to throw down, they do it together.
14	* BumblingDad: Not to the point of being a [[AdultsAreUseless totally incompetent parent]], but he is often shown acting much goofier than his wife.
15	* ButtMonkey: He goes through many AmusingInjuries across the show and has been subjected to ''a lot'' of {{Groin Attack}}s.
16	* CowardlyLion: In "Man Up", while at the Hollywood Bank Josh runs away from a set up act that left his wife and daughter disappointed in him for abandoning them, so Pearle decides to train him how to be brave. Then later on after thinking it's a simulation he realizes that there are really terrorist attacking the Christmas party that is holding his wife and daughter hostage, at first he typically runs away before deciding he had enough and goes back to save his family.
17	* {{Expy}}: He's almost identical to [[https://i.redd.it/q4l3ka6z8zaz.jpg one of the unnamed clerks]] from J.G. Quintel's 2006 short ''WebAnimation/TwoInTheAMPM'', who was also the prototype for [[WesternAnimation/RegularShow Mordecai]]. This seems to be because both Josh and the clerk are simply [[InkSuitActor cartoon versions of Quintel himself]].
18	* GoodParents: Despite his flaws, Josh and Emily have proven to be quite great and loving even fun parents to Candice.
19	* HandsOffParenting: {{Downplayed}}. Josh and Emily aren't exactly free-range parents, but they also tend to let Candice more or less do what she wants.
20	* HappilyMarried: Josh and Emily have a very stable and loving marriage.
21	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Alex. They've been best friends since high school.
22	* IdiotHero: A more downplayed example as he is less idiotic and more gullible. Josh is a NiceGuy and all, but he's not really the most observant person and tends to take people at face value, which leads to at least half of the misadventures he gets into.
23	* LastNameBasis: A few times Josh will call Emily by her last name, Ramirez.
24	* MyGreatestFailure: His video game developing career blew up in his face right as it looked like it was taking off, and he constantly feels ashamed that he neither gets to work doing what he loves nor provide more for Emily and Candice.
25	* NiceGuy: He has no mean bone in his body, and is a very loving husband, father and friend.
26	* PapaWolf: He will do whatever it takes to save his daughter whenever she is in danger.
27	* SingleTargetSexuality: He only has his eyes for Emily, in "Room Parents" he doesn't even understand that another woman is hitting on him until it's literally spelled out to him. In "Prank War" Bush Guy starts freaking out about a beautiful woman walking toward him and Josh when Emily and Bridgette are walking down the street, and Josh initially thinks he's talking about Emily, only begrudgingly admitting Bridgette is kinda cute.

31	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/GabrielleWalsh
32	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2f54f531_985a_49bd_bc0c_fdd3cf2f3379.jpeg]]
33	Josh's wife and Candice’s mother. Works as an assistant at [=FoodCorp=], and is in a comedy-rock band alongside Bridgette.
34	----
35	* BattleCouple: She forms this with her husband Josh whenever the two face a challenge.
36	* ClingyJealousGirl: Emily gets wary and jealous whenever she sees a woman hitting on her husband Josh.
37	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In college and when she started dating Josh in her late teens - early twenties she wore her hair down. After getting married and having Candice she wears her hair up, likely representing her being at a point in her life where she’s more responsible.
38	* ExtremeDoormat: In “Houseguest From Hell”, Emily keep letting her old college “friend” Becca (who’s a total bitch) take advantage of her kindness. After she revealed she was pregnant Emily was afraid of kicking Becca out because she was afraid of looking like a monster.
39	* FamilyVersusCareer: She's the main breadwinner of the family, but this often prevents her from spending as much time with Candice and Josh as she wants to.
40	* GoodParents: Despite her flaws, Emily and Josh have proven to be quite great and loving even fun parents to Candice.
41	* GrewASpine: She eventually snaps at her obnoxious "friend" Becca and finally cuts her out of her life.
42	* HandsOffParenting: {{Downplayed}}. Josh and Emily aren't exactly free-range parents, but they also tend to let Candice more or less do what she wants.
43	* HappilyMarried: She and Josh have a very stable and loving marriage.
44	* LatinoIsBrown: Averted. Emily is Mexican-American, with one episode stating she has ancestors from Guadalajara and she’s shown to be bilingual, but has the same skin tone as Josh. It’s unknown if she has a biological parent(s) who’s Mexican and she’s just light skinned, or if she took a step-parent's surname (similar to [[WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman Todd Chavez]]).
45	* MamaBear: Whenever Candice is in danger, she will do whatever it takes to make sure her daughter is safe.
46	* NotSoAboveItAll: She tends to be the voice of reason but she has her own set of flaws. She frequently clouds her judgement of people that she believes are cool and wants them to like her. Examples include Jojo the supposed cool mom in "Cool Moms", the snobbish female podcasting duo in "Where'd You Go Bridgette?", and the sexist dictator that liked her music in "Men Rock!". In "Birthdaze" she briefly thinks about trying ''cocaine'' before pushing the idea aside.
47	* ReusedCharacterDesign: Her face and hair style is are similar to Eileen Roberts from "Regular Show", though without the glasses, front buck teeth and the lines on the hair.
48	* StraightMan: She is this to her family and roommates. To everyone else, not so much.
49	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks fairly similar to her daughter Candice. When Emily gets turned into a kid again in "Weird Kid" Alex initially thinks she’s Candice, although it’s because he knows Emily is "the big one" and Candice is "the small one".
50	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Bridgette’s Girly Girl.

53	[[folder:Candice Singleton-Ramirez]]
54	[[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/candice_98.png]]
55	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/JessicaDiCicco
56
57	Josh and Emily's five-year-old daughter.
58	----
59	* AdorablyPrecociousChild: She often communicates with adults like her peers rather than as authority figures.
60	* BadassAdorable: Candice is put into as much peril as the adults and is usually in no way any more affected by the events as they are, in addition to becoming a nigh-unstoppable force should she be allowed to eat candy. "Robot Tutor" culminates in her saving their asses by destroying the eponymous character and calmly walking away fom the explosion.
61	* BookDumb: She's clever, but she doesn't do all that well in school.
62	* CheerfulChild: She is very energetic.
63	* EveryoneHasStandards: In "Candice Candice Revolution," she decides that rules don't matter after her dad serves pancakes for dinner, and she incites a rebellion of no rules with her classmates. While she loves it at first, when Emily and Josh point out to her that not all the kids are having fun and are getting hurt because there are no rules, she immediately feels bad and realizes she was wrong.
64	* FromTheMouthsOfBabes: She's picked up some of her parents' swearing.
65	* GirlishPigtails: Wears her hair in pigtails, fitting with how she's the youngest of the main cast.
66	* MsViceGirl: She may sometimes come off as mean and chaotic but in a way you might expect a girl her age would be. Other than that, she is a good-hearted person who enjoys having fun with others, deeply loves her family and cherishes her friendships. She also doesn't like intentionally hurting others and will feel bad.
67	* SweetTooth: ''NEVER'' give her candy. Unless you want to die...
68	* TokenMiniMoe: While there are other kids in the show, Candice is the only main character who is a child.
69	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Candice is relatively innocent...compared to her parents and their peers. She frequently enjoys doing dangerous activities, becomes an ungodly horror with even the smallest amount of sugar, and a group of children at her old school tipped over and blew up a bus with its driver inside. She also becomes the kingpin of an illegal hot-sauce racket.

72	[[folder:Alex Dorpenberger]]
73	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alex2.jpg]]
74	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/JasonMantzoukas
75
76	Josh's best friend from high school and current roommate. He is also Bridgette's ex-husband. He's a not very respected college professor and wannabe fiction writer.
77	----
78	* {{Acrofatic}}: Has a notable pot belly but that doesn’t stop him from pulling off some impressive physical feats.
79	* AmbiguouslyBrown: He has dark skin and black hair, but his exact ethnicity has not yet been given. When he got a DNA test in "Meet the Frackers," all it said was that he was descended "from a long line of creeps." Further confusing things is the appearance of his father in season 3, voiced by (and [[InkSuitActor resembling]]) the very white Creator/HenryWinkler.
80	* AmicableExes: He and Bridgette get along pretty well most of the time and its even hinted a few times there is still an attraction between them. That said, anytime they even so much as think about getting back together they quickly realize that they're BetterAsFriends. At the end of "Match Made In Valhalla", they decide to officially get back together and take it slowly.
81	* ButtMonkey: Probably not as bad as Josh, but Alex is prone to suffering just as many misfortunes and humiliations.
82	* ChickMagnet: Impressively enough he manages to attract at least three different women including Bridgette. One being an alien queen and the other being the Norse goddess of lust and desire. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (No really.)]]
83	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: With his near-constant zany attitude and odd fixation with viking erotica, Alex has shown from time to time to be the most eccentric member of the group.
84	* ConspiracyTheorist: Alex believes in many strange conspiracies.
85	--> '''Alex:''' ''(dressed only in his underwear surrounded by conspiracy theory boards)'' Quiet! I'm ''this'' close to connecting ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}... to ''Jesus.''\
86	'''Emily:''' ''[picking up a jug of yellow liquid]'' Are you drinking moonshine?\
87	'''Alex:''' That's disgusting! That's my urine.
88	* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Firmly believes that NewTechnologyIsEvil. "Cyber Matrix" proves Alex right when his new phone attempts to upload his consciousness into the internet and appears to have the entire human race stuck in [[Film/TheMatrix a Matrix]]-like reality.
89	* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Josh have known each other since they were in high school, and Josh will most likely spend the episode hanging out with Alex if he isn't with Emily or Candice.
90	* InkSuitActor: He looks a lot like his VA with slightly shaggier hair.
91	* NewTechnologyIsEvil: Firmly believes this. When he isn't tying technology to one of his odd conspiracy theories about the government or corporate America, he's complaining about how much time people spend on their phones and social media. It is implied that his disagreements with the social media addicted Bridgette is one of the factors that destroyed their marriage.
92	* TheProfessor: He's a professor in anthropology at Cal City Community College. He previously worked at UCLA but got fired after he started dating Bridgette, who joined his class after they first met.
93	* TheyKilledKennyAgain: He dies (in [[UndignifiedDeath undignified ways]]) during every vignette of "Halloween Enough".
94	* TeacherStudentRomance: Bridgette was his student when they first met. Their relationship got him fired from UCLA and is implied to have started his downhill spiral.
95	* TimeyWimeyBall: An episode in season 2 shows that, in an attempt to salvage his relationship with Bridgette [[ItMakesSenseInContext using time-traveling hooch]], multiple instances of his past self ended up in prehistoric times. Preserved in amber ([[ScrewYourself in the midst of an orgy]]), a company with the same name as his surname attempted to clone them under the belief they were cloning a caveman.
96	* YoungerThanTheyLook: He and Josh, who’s around thirty two, are the same age and attended high school together, but Alex looks a lot older, probably because of his thick beard and fat belly.

99	[[folder:Bridgette Hashima]]
100	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/KimikoGlenn
101	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bridgette_50.png]]
102	Josh and Emily's roommate who is also Alex's ex-wife. She is a wealthy socialite and aspiring social media influencer, and has a comedy-rock band with Emily.
103	----
104	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: She believes her mother favors her younger sister Olivia more due to her high intelligence and her accomplishments that came with it. She eventually learns Olivia always thought their mom favored her due to being more popular and cooler than her, and they both learn their mother had been pitting them against each other to outdo one another so they can be their best selves.
105	* AmicableExes: She and Alex get along pretty well most of the time and it’s even hinted a few times there is still an attraction between them. That said, anytime they even so much as think about getting back together they quickly realize that they're BetterAsFriends. At the end of "Match Made In Valhalla", after they both realize they still have feelings for each other, they decide to officially get back together and take it slowly this time.
106	* AsianAirhead: She's Japanese-American, but is not particularly book-smart and is so lazy that she's never held a real job before. This gets attention in "Bridgette The Brain" as she ingest her younger sister's intelli pill and becomes smart enough to refine the pills formula.
107	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Excluding Candice, at 26, she is the youngest member of her group of friends and it shows as she is the only one able to keep up a party lifestyle.
108	* BodyHorror: Taking her sister's intelli-pill (and later her own that she designs that’s stronger) makes the top part of her head grow huge due to her brain getting bigger. When she initially notices it she’s horrified..[[SkewedPriorities because now her bangs are too short]].
109	* ClingyJealousGirl: She acts as this in "Match Made in Valhalla" as she is envious of her ex Alex's relationship with Hannah. When Emily calls her out on this, she denies it even though she is.
110	* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite her desire to have one-night stands with some bizarre choices of people, she is terrified when she finds out that she was hitting on a toddler. Not the highest standard, seeing as how it's one that any decent sexually active human adult ought to have, but it's still a standard worth mentioning when considering how desperate for sex she can come off as.
111	* HairstyleInertia: Played with, as in "Bridgette the Brain" and "Legend of the Pier" shows her with her current hairstyle as a toddler, child, and teenager, although a previous episode, "Time Hooch", shows that when she started dating and married Alex her hair was longer, and a montage taking place in their married years shows a few instances where she styled it differently or it was a different length.
112	* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Thanks to the fact that her parents regularly send her money, Bridgette spends more time partying than working a job.
113	* IdleRich: Bridgette mostly lives off of the money her family sends her. However, "Clap Like This" had her working at a Forever 21-style clothing store at the mall because her mother cut her off. [[StatusQuoIsGod Bridgette's mom immediately put her back on the family's money when she saw how much she was making at her first and only job.]]
114	* LovableSexManiac: Is a very kinky and sexually adventurous woman, or at least wants to be, and is one of the show's funniest characters.
115	* MsFanservice: Bridgette is a very attractive 26-year-old woman, wears a shoulder-baring pink top and tight yellow pants, and often tries to insert herself into sexy scenarios. Due to the nature of the show, however, such scenarios are usually either FanDisservice and/or PlayedForLaughs
116	* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: The only thing about her sex life she's ashamed of is that she can't have even more of one.
117	* SocialMediaBeforeReason: She's addicted to her phone. That's not an exaggeration: when Pearle forces her off her phone for a couple of hours, Bridgette experiences withdrawal, and the rest of the cast assumes she's been ''kidnapped''.
118	* TheStoner: Likes smoking marijuana in the car and eats candy laced with MDMA before going to a concert.
119	* TeacherStudentRomance: She became Alex's student at UCLA after they met, which led to him getting fired.
120	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Emily’s and her sister Olivia's Tomboy.
121	* [[WellDoneSonGuy Well Done Daughter Girl]]: Revealed in "Bridgette the Brain" that she wants her mother's approval by competing with her smart sister Olivia via the intelli-pill, but after she and her sister come to realize how fighting for their mother's approval nearly destroyed the city, and how she’s pitted both of them against each other, they both stop trying to gain any of her mother's acknowledgement and Bridgette even told her mother to take a "chill pill".

145	* HandyMan: He's the handyman for the apartment complex, though not a very good one.
146	* HappilyAdopted: Implied given he looks like your average white redneck including having a red mullet, a farmer's tan, and cut-off jean shorts, but his mother, Pearle, is an elderly black woman.

178	Emily's boss at [=FoodCorp=].
179	----
180	* BenevolentBoss: Despite the rather large workloads he gives to his employees, he's not unreasonable if they say they can't work for some reason, such as Emily saying she can’t come in early because she's going to spend time with Candice, with Salt being understanding about it and says she can come in at a later time then.
181	* GladIThoughtOfIt: In "Snailin' It" he takes Emily's idea to create a community garden at Candice’s school to handle the controversy with the condom in a can of lima beans and passes it off as his own.
182	* PointyHairedBoss: He's shown to not quite have it all together when running his business. Examples include giving large workloads and errands to employees to complete in extremely short timespans, trying to handle a controversy involving a condom in a can of lima beans with crazy publicity stunts, and forgetting the password to the company safe.

194	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/SuzyNakamura
195
196	The mother of Bridgette and her younger sister Olivia
197	----
198	* AbusiveParents: For almost their entire lives she pushed her daughters to become their greatest by shaming them and purposely making them feel inadequate in each other's shadows without the other ones knowledge, thus pushing them to outdo one another. In fact, this was all the way back to when Olivia was born, when she chastised Bridgette for not being born as fast as Olivia, and when she walked away in shame she refused to hold Olivia for the first time until she stopped crying and was quiet like Bridgette. It took them gaining super-intelligence from Olivia's Intelli-pill to realize what she's been doing to them, and just before they realized it they were using their super-intelligent powers to fight each other just so they could gain their mother's approval. A fight that she goaded on despite the fact that they could've killed each other and/or destroyed the whole city.
199	* EveryoneHasStandards: She cuts Bridgette off when she turns twenty six, as per tradition in their family. However, after Bridgette gets her very first paycheck, she’s horrified at how little she was paid and puts her back on the family’s fortune.
200	* RichBitch: Is a very wealthy woman who pitted her daughters against each other so that they’d succeed.

208	----
209	* CallingParentsByTheirName: Her daughter Mia refers to her by her first name instead of mom.
210	* GracefulLoser: She accepts her loss to Emily in arm wrestling rather well and admits that she deserves her broken arm for being such a dick all the time.
211	* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: She drinks almost as hard as she parties. She even makes her own beer, which gets her secretly labeled as a douchebag by Trish.
212	* {{Jerkass}}: She doesn’t treat Emily, Trish, or any mom she deems normal or lame with very much respect.
213	* KidsAreCruel: Her daughter Mia made Mr. Campbell break out in tears and give himself a time out because she called his improv troupe terrible on [=YouTube=], and breaks Candice's piggy bank for no reason other than because it was "stifling her voice".
214	* KidsDrivingCars: She lets Mia drive cars whenever her mother isn’t able to.
215	* NakedPeopleAreFunny: In "Birthdaze" she strips butt naked after getting extremely drunk and tells other people to do the same so they can fight, and frequently flips the bird at people.
216	* NoodleIncident: She apparently gave Creator/MichaelDouglas throat cancer.
217	* ParentalNeglect: She doesn't give much attention to Mia believing it's good to give kids space, and even lets her drink beer despite being the same age as Candice.
218	* TookALevelInKindness: She starts showing Emily more respect after the latter beats her in an arm-wrestling match. Jojo's future appearances show her to be on seemingly better terms with Emily, although she's still kind of a jerk, but not a lot.

227	* TokenGoodTeammate: She's the nicest of the Cool Moms and secretly calls Jojo a douchebag for making her own beer. She even shows respect towards Emily for standing up to Jojo by beating her in an arm-wrestling match.

238	----
239	* AbusiveParents: They were terrible parents to Randy, to the point where they were more than willing to literally throw their infant son at the cops if it meant an opportunity to escape arrest. Twice.
240	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Initially they welcome Randy with open arms and claim to regret abandoning him, believing he actually was better off with Pearle and even set up a carnival at her house as a form of atonement. Then it turns out said carnival is a secret fracking job to steal the large natural gas deposit underneath Pearle’s house, with Wyatt and Deborah uncaring of the fact that their actions will destroy it. Fortunately, Randy manages to stop them before they get away.
241	* DeathFakedForYou: To prevent Randy from learning anything about his parents, Pearle decided to make up an outrageous lie about how they were astronauts who alongside their monkey sidekick died fighting aliens on Mars. Randy actually believed it to be true even in his adult years until a DNA test revealed that they were very much alive and living in Florida.
242	* GasSiphoning: Their former profession, with Deborah having a nose for sniffing out full cars and Wyatt being a master at siphoning.
243	* HateSink: There’s a reason Pearle kept their identities a secret from Randy. They have almost no redeeming qualities and are willing to use anyone and everyone, even their own son, for personal gain.
244	* ParentalAbandonment: Twice. The first time was when they threw an infant Randy at Pearle to escape arrest when she cornered them. Then when Pearle went out of her way to reunite Randy with his parents when they were finally arrested, they threw him at her again as a distraction to try and break out of prison. The second time was what made Pearle decide to take Randy in and raise him as her own, all the while lying to him about his parents being dead.
245	* ReformedCriminal: They claim to have cleaned up their act after getting sent to prison. Nope. They’re willing to illegally frack underneath people’s houses if it means a huge payout is there and don’t care about the damages that result from it.
246	* RichBastard: They’re rich enough from their fracking business that they have an enormous mansion full of cars and are able to eat [=McRibs=] all year round. However, they’re still very morally bankrupt.
247	* UnpleasantParentReveal: Zig-zagged. Even after Wyatt and Deborah willingly abandoned him multiple times, Randy is still willing to give them a chance and gets along with them swimmingly despite Pearle’s protests. It’s only after they almost destroy Pearle’s house fracking the gas deposit underneath it without any remorse for their actions that Randy realizes how horrible his parents really are.

256	Emily’s obnoxious, self-centered and gossipy “friend” since college.
257	----
258	* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: All her outfits expose either her stomach or her waist.
259	* CatchPhrase: She is seen greeting Emily with "Heyyy Chica!" when they first meet as roommates in college and when she meets her for drinks in the present. Emily also says this begrudgingly when Becca calls her.
260	* EntitledBastard: She expects everyone around her to bend over backwards for her, including her "friend" Emily. She shows no thanks or care for them in return and if they mess up in the smallest way (like getting her the wrong type of towels she wanted) she complains about them not listening and being selfish. Back in college she even used to steal Emily's clothes and not give them back, using the justification that they looked better on her as an excuse.
261	* ExpressDelivery: After she reveals she's pregnant, she grows to full-term overnight. Justified because the baby is half-demon.
262	* GossipyHens: Tends to gossip a lot about her personal life and dating, to the point Emily can’t even get a word in when they’re together. Becca even rambles on like this as a bridesmaid at Emily and Josh's wedding and when Emily is in labor with Candice, two events she somehow doesn’t remember likely due to how self centered she is.
263	* HairstyleInertia: Her hair has looked the same since college.
264	* HateSink: Has no redeeming qualities and is self centered and obnoxious, and even after Emily tells her off she never realizes how horrible she is, instead believing Emily is the toxic one, and ultimately receives no comeuppance for her horrible personality or treating everyone badly. Many viewers who had or have known a Becca in real life agree her portrayal is pretty spot on.
265	-->'''Emily''': (''inhales sharply after Becca tells her she’ll find the right man one day, shortly after telling her she wouldn't understand what it’s like being a mom'') Go to hell Becca.\
266	'''Becca''': I AM! You never lis- (''Emily cuts her off by slamming the door in her face'')
267	* InterspeciesRomance: Is dating Lucifer himself, who calls himself "Luc" for short.
268	* ItsAllAboutMe: She can't bring herself to care about anyone besides herself. She always imposes herself on Emily's life, takes advantage of her [[ExtremeDoormat kindness]] and couldn't care less about her, which includes never even remembering she has a husband and a daughter, despite the fact she was at both Emily and Josh’s wedding and Candice’s birth. Despite this she still imposes herself on Emily and takes advantage of her kindness. After Emily finally tells her off and tells her to get out of her life, as she and Luc move out she tells Emily ''she's'' the one cutting ''her'' off saying she’s the toxic one, either completely oblivious or not listening/caring about what Emily told her.
269	* {{Jerkass}}: She is selfish, whiny, and annoying to others. Everyone hates her including Emily, who only stayed in touch with her due to being old friends and being too much of a pushover.
270	* {{Narcissist}}: Becca's personality, 100%.
271	* NeverMyFault: While Emily angrily tells her off for the times she’s been a horrible friend throughout the years, such as making her cut her hair back in college because their lengths were "too match-y" and that she borrowed all her clothes and never gave them back, Becca angrily retorts back that she’s the long haired friend and it’s not her fault her clothes looked hotter on her. Emily finally tells her she wants her out of her home and her life, but when Becca is leaving with her demon baby to join Luc in hell, she tells Emily ''she's'' the one cutting ''her'' off saying she’s the toxic one, and shes a mom now, something Emily wouldn’t understand (once again not bothering to remember she has a child, and when a frustrated Emily points out Candice to her, she insists she’s their tiny butler.)
272	* PsychologicalProjection: She accuses Emily of being selfish instead of her and at the end of the episode "breaks off" from Emily calling her toxic and never listening to her. Completely ignoring that Emily already broke off with her while accusing HER of being toxic.
273	* {{Pun}}: A literal houseguest from hell, since she's pregnant with the antichrist.
274	* StupidEvil: More like stupid narcissist, but her inability to think about other peoples feelings or remember details about them makes her come off rather stupid. Like, she thinks that Candice (a child) is just Emily's "tiny butler" rather than her daughter, since every time Emily tells her she's her daughter she never bothers to remember, despite the fact she was in the delivery room along with Josh for Candice's birth. She also doesn’t bother to remember she’s married to Josh despite also being at their wedding and calls him "Jersh", nor does she bother to remember who Alex or Bridgette are. Also, at the end of the episode when Emily furiously tells her to go to hell, Becca takes this as an actual demand before "reminding" her that she already is going back there with Luc and their demon baby.
275	* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: When she stays in Becca and Josh's apartment, she hogs the shower, hogs the TV, and throws out all of Alex's stuff from his closet. Things just get worse when her pregnancy with Lucifer's baby starts.
276	* TrademarkFavouriteFood: Whenever of the roommates call attention to her inconveniencing them while she stays with them, she would ignore them and say something among the lines of "An iced coffee would be great thanks!".

285	* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: She dies by doing water gymnastics on the sea during a storm, desiring that way to go rather than being taken to prison for all the time she has left.
286	* MasterOfDisguise: She and her crew can quickly change outfits to look like typical sweet grandmothers, which she uses to go under suspicious after robbing a bank.
287	* NeverMessWithGranny: She's an old woman, but she is still a badass bank robber with a big capacity to bring her plans to fruition.

319	----
320	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He can't understand on why Alex would burn the manuscripts for his friends' lives.
321	* EvilMentor: He took Alex under his wing, but it was all so he'd be discovered as a brilliant new author right after taking his body.
322	* {{Expy}}: Of Vandal Savage from DC Comics, the exception being that the mystical meteor which grants him immortality does so by allowing him to switch bodies rather than indefinitely prolonging his life.
323	* GrandTheftMe: Thanks to a magic meteor, he's been swapping bodies since the stone age, taking a younger one every time he grows old. Alex manages to turn this against him just as he is about to kill him.
324	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How he dies with Alex swapping bodies at the last second just as he plunges a sword in him.
325	* LargeHam: Considering his voice actor, this was to be expected.
326	* KillAndReplace: After swapping into a younger body, he kills the body's original owner (now in his former body) and steals the accolades for their art as they get discovered by the art world. He picks Alex as his latest, but was foiled and finally meets his end after thousands of years.
327	* ShoutOut: He quotes a few memorable characters.
328	** When Alex calls him a crappy thief, he responds by saying: [[Film/DieHard "I'm an exceptional thief."]]
329	** When he goes after the meteor, he exclaims: [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings "My precious!"]]
