7[[quoteright:120:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sandra_7486.png]]
8
9The protagonist of the series. Sandra is a typical middle school girl with a pet talking raccoon. She does have a bit of an egotistical side; she likes dressing up as "The Empress of Northia" and addressing her stuffed animal "subjects". She also likes to imagine herself as hard-boiled private eye Sandy South.
10----
11* AffectionateNickname: Sandy, mostly by Larisa.
12* BarrierMaiden: Is revealed to [[spoiler:be the only thing standing between Cloud being the NiceGuy he is and him turning into a vicious crime lord]].
13* BettyAndVeronica: For Cloud, the Betty to Larisa's Veronica. Cloud chooses Sandra.
14* BerserkButton: Coming off as a threat to Sandra's relationship with Cloud is unwise.
15* BewareTheNiceOnes: When the "hand of god" replaces Woo with Tom the talking toast, Sandra first [[spoiler:eats the toast]]. Then she makes the hand [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/01/30/0346-the-contender-iv/ an offer it cannot refuse]].
16* CharacterBlog: Sandra has a [[https://www.youtube.com/user/SandyTheThird YouTube channel]], also going by her alter ego Sandy the Third, empress and supreme ruler of Northia, there. It has not even been logged on since 2010, though.
17* ClingyJealousGirl: A mild example, but [[StuffedIntoATrashcan Larisa really shouldn't flirt with Cloud]] while she's around.
18* FriendToAllLivingThings: She really loves animals and gets along very well with Woo, Lily, and their kits, despite them being (mostly) wild.
19* GoodAngelBadAngel: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/07/23/0079-a-devilishly-good-idea/ She quickly sides with the bad angel]].
20* GranolaGirl: Mild example, she considers herself a conservationist.
21%%* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold
22%%* MissingMom
23* OutdoorsyGal: Not so much after she started to hit puberty.
24* ShipperOnDeck: She's very supportive of her father's relationship with Hitomi. [[EngagingConversation When he spontaniously asks her to marry him upon tasting how good her cooking is]], Sandra busts out a pair of pom poms and starts cheering.
25* {{Spammer}}: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/04/30/0055-youve-got-mail/ Spams Cloud's mail account out of revenge for him scaring Woo into losing control of his bladder while sitting on her lap]].
26* TechnicalVirgin: Possibly. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/11/09/0734-under-a-killer-balloon-the-cereal-killer-page-12/ When Tommy asks if she's a virgin]], she starts talking about how it depends on how one defines virginity before he cuts her off. However, since he was considering making her into a VirginSacrifice, it's entirely possible that she was just bluffing.
27* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She and Larisa zig-zag this trope. While she generally comes off as more tomboyish than Larisa, she's also more sensitive and cautious.
28%%* TomboyishPonytail
29* YouAreWorthHell: Not said out loud, but Larisa is willing to make a DealWithTheDevil to save her.

32[[folder:Woo]]
33[[quoteright:140:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/woo_the_raccoon_9566.png]]
34
35Sandra's pet raccoon. Sandra rescued him from an abusive owner, and he's lived with her since. He seems to divide his time between living with Sandra and exploring the woods with his animal friends.
36----
37* BigEater: After being adopted by the Norths, one of the first things he does is [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/11/10/diet/ clean out their fridge]].
38* CarnivoreConfusion: Both averted and played straight. Woo is friendly with Shadow, a fox, and Sid, a squirrel. They regularly try to eat each other, but as the tagline says, fail. This doesn't stop Woo and Shadow from eating ''other'' woodland creatures, ''successfully.''
39* CivilizedAnimal: While Woo likes living with the Norths, he still goes back to the woods, where his partner Lily lives. Like other raccoons, he likes to eat a lot of food, including [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/03/04/0143-love-at-first-sight/ leftovers]] and other [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/11/10/diet/ human foods]]!
40* DeadpanSnarker
41* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[ItMakesSenseInContext Ate an Aztec god]] to save humanity from destruction.
42* HappilyMarried: Well, not exactly "married", but he's certainly found a perfect mate in Lily.
43* IntellectualAnimal: Woo is no slouch intellectually. He can speak to humans and attempted subliminal cookie acquisition. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/06/10/0066-compromise/ His spelling skills do need some work, though this may be a]] ShoutOut [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes to Hobbes]], who has a similar problem.
44* JealousPet: At one point, he [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/09/21/0096-keen-perception/ gets jealous of Cloud]] due to [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/09/24/0097-raccoon-hug/ being afraid Sandra would have no time for him]].
45* MotivationalLie: As he learned from Sandra, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/01/13/0545-fanart/ "The outcome justifies even the biggest lie"]].
46* [[PalsWithJesus Pals With Seeoahtlahmakaskay]]
47* RascallyRaccoon: To quote writer Oliver Knorzler's own description: "He will break your heart with a smile and then, while you are looking away for a second, raid your fridge." A classic example of Woo's ''modus operandi'' can be seen [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/09/24/0097-raccoon-hug/ here.]]
48* SuperpoweredAlterEgo: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/09/29/0620-expert-mode/ Apparently, Woo has a dangerous "expert mode"]].
49* TalkingAnimal: Specifically, a CivilizedAnimal. Though all the animals talk to each other, Woo is the only one specifically shown as talking to humans. Sandra freaks out when she first [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/11/13/beginners-mistakes/ discovers he can talk]]! Anytime other animals talk, it's a case of TranslationConvention
50* ThisIsMyHuman: And [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/05/05/0269-bad-news/ he'll]] find her.
51[[/folder]]
52
53[[folder:Cloud Williams]]
54[[quoteright:140:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cloud_6059.png]]
55
56Sandra's best friend and later boyfriend. Though he seems non-threatening and sweet-tempered, he's actually much stronger than his outward appearance would have you believe.
57----
58* AnimeHair: Cloud has an IdiotHair and [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/12/21/0122-random-encounter/ this]]...
59* BadassAdorable: He's one of the cutest boys, yet he can use a ''plastic knife'' as a weapon.
60* BettyAndVeronica: Sandra and Larisa, respectively, with Cloud as ComicBook/{{Archie|Comics}}. He chooses Sandra.
61* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a really good guy, but if you get on his bad side, he can give you the walloping of a lifetime.
62** Was recently revealed to have the potential to [[spoiler:become a brutal crime lord if he loses Sandra]].
63* BullyHunter: After [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/04/06/0048-immoral-insight/ this moment]], the only problem at school is Larisa.
64* BullyingADragon: Ralph the bully makes [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/01/22/0027-major-mistake/ this mistake with Cloud]]. In fairness, Cloud doesn't ''[[CuteBruiser look]]'' particularly threatening.
65* ChickMagnet: He's a 10 in the girls' ranking.
66* CrushBlush: Not as much as Landon, but still.
67* CuteBruiser: Can you believe this adorable young teen can beat men twice his size?
68** [[Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt James Eglamore]] is not only a grown man twice Cloud's size, he has 20+ years of training and experience ''and'' has superhuman strength. Cloud still manages to hold his own in a friendly duel and only loses when he lets himself get distracted.
69* DraggedIntoDrag: Happens occsasionally, much to Cloud's chagrin. Sandra, OTOH, thinks he looks sexy in a skirt.
70* FutureBadass: Strips that feature hypothetical futures mostly depict Cloud following in the steps of his mom. [[spoiler:"The Divine Comedy" reveals he has all the latent potential to be a vicious crime lord [[CynicismCatalyst if he ever loses Sandra.]]]]
71* ImplausibleFencingPowers: See BullyingADragon above, he can slash you with a [[NerfArm PLASTIC KNIFE]].
72** Look at his '''mom''' and say his skills don't [[ItRunsInTheFamily make sense]].
73*** He also takes on a bunch of Heartless armed only with a wooden sword.
74* MasterSwordsman: He's able to keep up with [[Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt Sir Elgamore]]!
75* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Drawn in a more {{animesque}} style than the other characters.
76* RebelLeader: He wishes to be the leader of the Burmese rebellion when he grows older, as most of his relatives from his mother's side have suffered a lot in the war.
77* RedIsHeroic: The red-haired protector of his school's weaker students.
78* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He's the Manly Man to Landon's Sensitive Guy. This is in relative terms, however; Cloud's more conventionally masculine than Landon, but also pretty sensitive in his own right.
79* UnusualPopCultureName: He's named after [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]]. Lampshaded by Sandra, who explains that his parents were really into the game when he was born. His little sister is also named Yuna, though it's not stated if they were playing ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' when she was born or if they were simply continuing the theme.
80-->'''Sandra:''' Cloud's parents were obsessed with the video game ''Final Fantasy VII'' at that time. Cloud was the name of the hero of the story.

83[[folder:Larisa Korolev]]
84[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/larisa_1567.png]]
85
86One of Sandra's best friends, Larisa has a strong mischievous streak. She likes to tease Sandra, flirt with Cloud, and generally cause trouble. However, there are hints of a darker side to her personality.
87----
88* AffectionateNickname: Sandra occasionally calls her Liz.
89* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Sandra's Betty.
90* BeYourself: Hilariously subverted. Sandra, being Liz's friend, gives her the wise advice of [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/05/12/0580-larisa-is-too-hot/ not being herself]] when in front of Landon's mom.
91* BraidsOfAction: A single, characteristic braid.
92* TheBully: To Zoey. Her appearances usually involve having Larisa [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/02/12/0033-russian-revenge/ doing]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/04/26/0158-excuses-excuses/ something]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/02/18/0456-evolution-i/ nasty]] to her. To put this into perspective, we haven't seen Zoey do anything to her at all, and she's often depicted as a JerkAss.
93** Larisa herself denies the accusation, see DisproportionateRetribution.
94* TheCorrupter: Since her DealWithTheDevil (see below), she almost always tries and has her friends take the sexier option about whatever they're doing.
95* CuteAndPsycho: A very pretty, even hot, girl that just happens to find causing random mayhem fun and [[spoiler:is ecstatic about the idea of becoming a [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]] for the Devil to the point of openly drooling]].
96* TheDreaded: "The Divine Comedy" reveals that pretty much ''the entire city'' knows about Larisa's love for fires; an entire mall full of people fled after seeing her close to a little flaming paper.
97* DealWithTheDevil: In order to save Sandra's life from one of the human god's pranks, she signed a contract with the devil that would condemn her soul to hell upon death (the contract would be rendered void if they failed to save her). Although, it was more like a job offering than an eternity of torment (the [[AffablyEvil devil]] wanted to put her talents to use as a succubus).
98* DisproportionateRetribution: Debatable. She force-fed Zoey her French homework in retaliation for calling Sandra names behind her back. They both agree that maybe they should both back off a bit.
99* EveryoneLovesBlondes: She's considered for the boys a 10 in attractiveness, and could remain as 10 if it wasn't for her craziness giving her a -1. She's even recognized as the prettiest girl in her school in the 721 strip.
100* FilleFatale: Larisa likes to [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/05/31/0169-lesson-3/ dress sexy to appeal to boys]], has already smooched with around a dozen of them, and [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/06/10/0172-not-a-role-model/ doesn't mind being called a bad example]] for this sort of behavior. See HiddenDepths for her side beyond this however.
101** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/06/03/0170-slvt/ She was a bit annoyed about being called a slut. Sorta.]]
102** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/03/03/0250-savior/ Flirty girl.]] Leading to this gem by a commenter.
103--->The New Larisa 500:\
1040 to Flirtatious in two seconds flat!
105* FirstNameBasis: She calls her parents by their names, showing how little she considers them an authority over her.
106* {{Flight}}: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/02/13/0350-blackmail/ She can defy gravity for the hell of it]] [[AWizardDidIt without explanation how.]]
107* FunetikAksent: Averted. Larisa speaks with a Russian accent, but you wouldn't know this unless you read Novil's posts or [[SuddenlyVoiced played the game.]]
108* GiveGeeksAChance: Larisa [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/10/27/0320-honest-relationship/ starts going out with]] [[EndearinglyDorky Landon]] after he helps her get a B- on a math quiz.
109* GoodBadGirl: Saying that she's a wild girl is a bit of an understatement; Larisa has smooched half the boys in school, flirts with men older than her, and her own mother has given up trying to control her and is only concerned about her daughter's virginity being intact. But whenever needed, her heart is always in the right place, and she is currently in a healthy and stable relationship with Landon and has reconciled with her enemy.
110* HeteronormativeCrusader: Zigzagged; she tells to Zoey that she's completely OK with lesbians (of course, in the pragmatic way of "less competition for hot guys"). Gay guys, on the other hand, are fair game (because it means she can't have them and they add to the competition).
111* HiddenBuxom: Judging by [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/08/24/0712-send-to-all/ this panel]], she has quite the knockers for her young age.
112** Although it's likely Powree exaggerated a bit to make it obvious she was naked without actually showing everything.
113* HiddenDepths: Larisa asks deep [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/11/18/0218-school/ questions]], though she hardly seems stupid.
114** Despite her openly flirtatious nature and chaotic tendencies, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/06/14/0173-a-look-into-the-mind-of-a-troubled-girl/ she shows a secret desire for a happy and meaningful domestic life,]] including being HappilyMarried and having children. This is likely the result of her being ill and thus, not having a chance for that.
115* HolyBurnsEvil: Zoey's "angelic" singing in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2021/10/14/1298-kiss-of-life/ Kiss Of Life]] causes her hair to start burning [[spoiler:due to her being a succubus.]]
116* InexplicablyAwesome: Larisa displays a number of strange abilities that are played for laughs and has wreaked a surprising amount of havoc for someone her age. None of it is conclusively explained and most other characters just accept that the normal rules don't quite apply to Larisa.
117* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Larisa may be kind of a jerk, but she cares for those she loves. Additionally, despite not liking Zoey, she worries for her when she sees her crying. As well as being quite outraged that Zoey thinks Larisa bullies her.
118** She recently [[spoiler:was willing to sell her soul to the Devil for the sake of saving Sandra and preventing Cloud from making a FaceHeelTurn]].
119* JustFriends: Type IV gets {{averted|Trope}} ''[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/10/24/0319-larisa-is-not-aware-of-the-ladder-theory/ outright]]'', right after other characters [[DiscussedTrope discuss]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/10/20/0318-landon-is-not-aware-of-the-ladder-theory/ almost verbatim]] the trope's older older name ("Friend Zone").
120* LikeYouWereDying: Larisa's antics and behavior takes on a more disturbing and depressing undertone when the readers learn [[spoiler:she has Wolfram Syndrome, which will blind her in her 20s and kill her in her 30s. She even heavily implies that her behavior is her trying to get the most out of life.]]
121* MadArtist: She paints as a hobby, and her pyromania alone definitely qualifies her as "mad."
122* ManicPixieDreamGirl: To Landon. He was rather invisible and stuck in the mud until they started dating and she does shake his world.
123* MistakenForJunkie: Larisa, who is diabetic, is caught by a teacher when giving herself an insulin shot during recess. She's then sent to the principal who informs her that taking this "dangerous drug" violates the school's zero tolerance policy against drugs. The plot was inspired by a [[TruthInTelevision similar incident on a U.S. middle school in the 1990s]]. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/05/18/0060-addicted/ Start reading here.]]
124* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Granted, Landon's mother overreacts to everything, but Larisa slipping into her TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior definitely put her on Landon's mother's bad side.
125* OverlyLongTongue: In [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2018/04/23/0982-larisas-condition/ #982]], she enlarges her tongue to about two or three times its normal size to lick Sandra's icecream.
126* {{Pyromaniac}}: She ''really'' likes to set things on fire. She even has an annual seminar with her friends to instruct them on fire-related activities and when trying to act as her own opposite, she proclaims her love for ice.
127* [[RubberMan Rubber Girl]]: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/11/17/0634-grounded/ Extends her mouth, so that her lips reach Landon's house and she can kiss him despite being grounded]]. She's done this on several occasions.
128* SeenItAll: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/07/21/0805-the-divine-comedy-page-3/ She cannot be surprised by anything]].
129* SensualSlavs: She's considered very attractive by her schoolmates, has no qualms (and in fact prefers) to use sex appeal to get what she wants, and speaks with a noticeable Russian accent.
130* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She has no problem with the fact that she accidentally [[spoiler:sent a nude pic to over 60 million people. [[LikeYouWereDying There is a reason for this]].]]
131-->'''Larisa:''' [[spoiler:[[WhamLine I'll be blind in ten years and dead in twenty]]. I don't give a damn if some puritans have a problem with my naked body.]]
132* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Yes, despite her reputation as a shameless flirty and maniacal madwoman, she longs for a loving and stable relationship with a good man, which explains her crush on Cloud and later her relationship with Landon. Her relationship with Landon started when he decided to help her study out of the kindness of his heart and helped her earn a B- in Math. Despite Larisa's tendency to play around or tease with others (usually girls), it's clear that she is very happy with Landon.
133-->'''Larisa:''' [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/05/21/0378-a-walk-through-the-park/ Just be nice to me. That's enough. OK?]]
134** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/06/14/0173-a-look-into-the-mind-of-a-troubled-girl/ Foreshadowed in an earlier strip and then some.]]
135* SnakePeople: In [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/02/18/0762-bloodline/ #762]], she is able to unhinge her lower jaw (referring to an erroneous belief about snakes being able to unhinge their jaws to swallow animals whole) to open her mouth superhumanly wide to eat a really big burrito in one bite and reveals fangs and a forked tongue like a snake. She claims to be a descendant not of Adam and Eve, but of the biblical Serpent.
136* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She and Sandra zig-zag this trope. While she comes off as more conventionally feminine than Sandra in a lot of ways, she's also more reckless and less emotionally vulnerable than her.
137* ToxicFriendInfluence: Interestingly enough, Sandra was the one who begged Larisa to be this to her. It gets to the point where she teases Cloud by claiming she's not going to wear panties under her new skirt, causing him to liquefy.
138* TroubledButCute: She's an attractive young lady, but she has a lot of baggage on her.
139* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior:
140** Larisa carries a lighter just to set random fires, jokes about being a "junkie" when she injects insulin, accuses a teacher of molesting her to get out of a homework assignment (and has to be warned against molesting her guide on the camping trip), and [[FilleFatale flirts with the boys]] at an... adult level. Apparently, ''all'' the girls have been warned about her. [[spoiler:Suggestions that she's got [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/01/04/0126-secrets/ bigger problems than diabetes]] [[LikeYouWereDying put this in a more disturbing light]].]]
141** "[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/07/28/0294-homecoming-ii/ You're still]] a ''virgin'', right?" And remember. This is her mother.
142* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/08/23/0405-the-archer/ She spouts explanations of a painting in the museum -- all contradictory.]] Alternatively [[SubvertedTrope a subversion]]: Her [[LampshadeHanging "Larisa Presents" strips seem to suggest she's making fun of modern artists and their attempts at being "clever" and "inventive,"]] and seems to take great pleasure in seeing art patrons buy into the BS she makes up on the fly about paintings -- however, she loves Van Gogh's ''Starry Night'' for its simple beauty.

147!!Relatives of Main Characters
148[[folder:North Family]]
149!Richard North
150A single father raising Sandra since his wife died two years prior to the series.
151----
152* BewareTheNiceOnes: Normally a very kind father, but [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/10/30/a-lesson-for-life/ after hearing Woo's previous owner abuse him,]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/11/17/negotiating-methods/ he]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard locks him in the raccoon cage.]]
153* HasAType: He seems to have a thing for eccentric women. Hitomi cosplays 24/7 and thinks pouncing like a tiger is an effective method of courtship, while Melody may or may not have been a serial killer. It really makes you wonder what sort of woman his wife must have been.
154* OneOfTheKids: A huge video game addict.
155* PapaWolf: Threaten his child around him, and he will sick Woo on you faster than you can say "OhCrap". A man-eater learned this one the hard way!
156
157!Julie North
158Sandra's mother and Richard North's wife who died 2 years prior to the start of the series
159----
160* MissingMom: She is, of course, this to Sandra, what with her being deceased and all.
161* PosthumousCharacter: Long dead by the time the comic starts. The only time she's actually been seen alive is in a flashback to Sandra's birth.
162
163!Grandpa and Grandma North

165
166[[/folder]]
167
168[[folder:Williams Family]]
169!David and Ye Thuza Williams
170Cloud's father and mother, respectively. Both are huge nerds, even going so far as naming their children after ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' characters. Ye Thuza is a Burmese immigrant who used to be a rebel back in her home country.
171----
172* ActionMom: Cloud's mom Ye Thuza is not only a loving mother and housewife but also an urban ninja who single-handedly nails a Tonberry (a dangerous monster in the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series) to a concrete wall with a wooden staff. Not to mention she's also a former ChildSoldier. Possibly a {{Deconstruction}} of the tropes. While certainly not a bad mom, her rebel experiences have left her "[[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/04/15/0155-rebel-heart/ still somewhat messed up]]".
173* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents:
174** [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/09/20/0201-eating-out/ The best kind]]. Also, see ShipperOnDeck.
175** Oh, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/07/19/0395-eternal-torment/ it's much worse than that]].
176* ChildSoldier: Cloud's mom was a Burmese guerrilla fighter in her teens, making her literally a FormerTeenRebel.
177* EveryoneHasStandards: Ye Thuza punishes Yuna for using pieces of Cloud's Anime/PrincessMononoke action figures for fuel for her fusion reactor.
178* GirlyBruiser: Ye Thuza is graceful, feminine and really enjoys being a {{Housewife}}. She's also an exceptional fighter.
179* HappilyMarried:
180* {{Manchild}}: In one strip, David was horrified that he was getting old (''he liked vegetables better than the dessert!''). Ye Thuza calms him down saying he was still too immature to be considered an adult yet. He's relieved.
181* OpenMindedParent: Cloud's mother seems to have no problem with having her son explore abandoned factories for treasure, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/12/10/0119-the-departure/ unless he forgets to pack the rope]]. Of course, these are the same parents that sign him up for [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2008/12/22/0018-cloud/ sword training]].
182* RetiredBadass: Ye Thuza.
183* ShipperOnDeck: Cloud's [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/05/17/0165-kissus-interruptus/ mother and sister]], much to [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/05/20/0166-shipwreck/ Cloud's annoyance]]. (And yes, that is him [[LampshadeHanging hanging a lampshade]] on it. Possibly also qualifies as LeaningOnTheFourthWall.)
184* TheTeamNormal: David is the only normal member of this BadassFamily.
185
186!Yuna Williams
187Cloud's younger sister. An adorable, smart, but annoying kid.
188
189* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Cloud, teasing him about his relationship with Sandra (like the rest of his family), taking his things without warning, etc.
190* ChildProdigy: Yuna is capable of [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/11/13/0633-energy-crisis-ii/ making a home-made nuclear reactor]] and [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/11/24/0636-hodge-theater/ understands interuniversal Teichmüller theory]]. She's also a little math genius, and her parents tried to get her a personal tutor.
191* DitzyGenius: While she loves her math, science, and physics theory and is very able to put them in practice, she's not very good with ''mental arithmetics'', needing to write her numbers down (which is what cost her a tutor). She also lacks the common sense and tact to realize that her mother's teachings on "self-defense" are way too extreme for her age and peaceful society, and she didn't know that "motherfucker" is a highly crude word.
192* TheDreaded: Thanks to her TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior, she's this to her teachers to the point where they always give her an A.
193* GeniusBruiser: Able to hold her own in hand-to-hand combat and a little genius.
194* InnocentSwearing: She says the word "motherfucker" on live TV. She didn't know what it means, however, and immediately apologizes after asking her mom what it meant.
195* LittleMissBadass: Just like her brother, her mother has been training her. Unlike Cloud, there's very few moments when Yuna is being badass.
196* StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks like a mini Ye Thuza, and sometimes [[GenerationXerox behaves like her]].
197* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior:
198** Yuna's way of playing with dolls is recreating a [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/04/24/0575-cinderella-the-true-story-i/ story]] where the DisneyPrincesses have had enough of [[WesternAnimation/{{Brave}} Merida]] and plot her murder. [[CrossesTheLineTwice And then finishing it with a song!]]
199** She also scares the crap out of anyone that gets in her way, even her teachers, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/07/27/0704-conduct-grade/ who are convinced that she will become a supervillain "able to put all James Bond's villains to shame".]]
200* WiseBeyondTheirYears: She tends to ask the most surprising questions. She's also incredibly smart for her age, to the point she feels that normal school holds her down.
201* WrongGenreSavvy: Uses guerrilla knowledge in a pacific SliceOfLife.

203
204[[folder:Korolev family]]
205!Ivan and Jelena Korolev
206Larisa's painter father and his wife/manager Jelena.
207----
208* AmbiguouslyBi: There's little doubt that Ivan and Jelena are attracted to women and men respectively, but Ivan admits to finding Nick from ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' hot and Jelena shares Larisa's feelings about Judy.
209* BerserkButton: Ivan [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/05/23/0484-larisas-dirty-secret/ hates Thomas Kinkade]].
210* FacialProfiling: The parents of Larisa have pronounced cheekbones and jaw-lines to have them look more Slavic.
211* ForeignCussWord: Ivan vents his anger about how Russian policy is depicted in the US the trough somehow OK-ish [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat_(Russian_profanity) Russian mat]].
212* ParentsAsPeople: Larisa's parents have long ago given up trying to control their daughter, but they still care about her and work hard to provide her with any medical need. It's just difficult to raise a child with both diabetes, allergies, and [[spoiler:a disease that will kill her in her 30's]].
213* ParentalNeglect: Mild example; Larisa's behavior has driven Jelena to the point where she doesn't care as long as Larisa's still a virgin.
214* VodkaDrunkenski: After cursing seemed to be insufficient, he changed into an Adidas training jacket and pants (most likely referencing the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopnik Gopnik cliche]]) and sought relief in [[DrowningMySorrows vodka and pickled cucumber]] ([[ShownTheirWork that's an actually correct depiction of what Russians eat together with vodka]]).

216
217!!Classmates of Main Characters
218[[folder:Landon Hill]]
219Larisa's boyfriend, whose advent does much to break up Larisa's flirting-with-Cloud habit.
220----
221* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: He seems to have gotten used to Larisa's... wild nature.
222* CrushBlush: Unsurprising, given Larisa's forthright manner.
223* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Mother, actually, in this case. Landon's mother is very against his relation with Larisa, since Harriet is a very strict and religious person. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/06/05/0587-at-the-stake/ After Larisa's visit]], she's convinced the girl is actually a witch and just lets them date to keep Landon from becoming gay and as long as Larisa remains away from her. Ironically, Landon's dad seems OK with her.
224* ADayInTheLimelight: Landon gets [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/05/19/0582-ukraine-is-game-to-larisa/ an arc]] focused on issues related to his relationship with Larisa and his mother disapproving of it.
225* DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments.
226-->''Call me a naysayer, but I don't think it's possible to learn geometry through osmosis with a math book.''
227* EarlyBirdCameo: He [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/04/06/0048-immoral-insight/ has one]] where he gets saved from a bully by Cloud.
228* EndearinglyDorky: He's a nerdy, sweet guy who does everything he can to make his girlfriend happy.
229* HeroicBSOD: The guy [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/04/17/0573-next-step-ii/ literally has one]] when Larisa said that she would be ready in ''10 seconds'' for them to take their relationship to [[TheirFirstTime the next level]].
230* NerdsAreSexy: Larisa certainly thinks so.
231* PromotedToLoveInterest: He was just a background character until he helped Larisa study for an important test [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe when no one else did]]. Larisa started to date him afterward.
232* SatelliteLoveInterest: RareMaleExample. We still don't get a strip showing Landon without Larisa and/or in a situation that doesn't involve her.
233* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The savvy guy to Larisa's (over)energetic girl.
234* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He's the Sensitive Guy to Cloud's Manly Man, but that's not to say Cloud's not pretty sensitive himself.
235* UptightLovesWild: Kind of an inversion as it was Larisa who started the relationship, but still applies.
236[[/folder]]
237
238[[folder:Zoey Irwin]]
239One of Sandra's classmates and Larisa's enemy. Best friends with Michelle, who she is later shown to be in love with.
240-----
241* AlphaBitch: She is stated as being one of the more popular girls in class as well as being shown insulting Sandra on a couple occasions.
242* AmbiguouslyBi /BiWildered: While she stated before that she was a lesbian, she has shown signs of bi-curiosity as shown [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/06/13/1091-zoeys-got-the-solution/ here]] and [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2022/03/03/1319-top-trumps/ here.]]
243* BeautifulSingingVoice: She claims that her grandmother told her that she has a voice like an angel. While this obviously sounds like an exaggeration given the source, it turns out that she meant it [[NotHyperbole literally]] [[spoiler:since hearing her singing [[HolyBurnsEvil causes succubus-in-training Larisa to catch on fire]].]]
244* BoomerangBigot / ArmouredClosetGay: A lesbian example.
245* ButtMonkey: Tends to be on the receiving end of Larisa's pranks. In more recent strips, however, it's her losing to Sandra that invokes this.
246* CharacterDevelopment: She started off as little more than a tittering bully to Sandra and the butt of Larisa's pranks at first, but as her popularity grew, the audience got to see more to her, more prominently, her troubles with finding love as a lesbian and her passion for sports ''(she's also a great singer too!)'' She has also seemed more willing to confide in and hang out with Sandra and Larisa as well, even if she does get snarky and vain from time to time.
247* ClosetKey: The combination of admitting her crush on Sandra and Sandra's extreme reaction to the steamy fanfics Zoey wrote about the two of them seems to have made Sandra realize that she's bi-curious, as she invites Zoey to join her, Larisa, and Cloud at a weekend study session, and then greets Zoey with a passionate kiss.
248* ContinuitySnarl: Her last name, which switches back and forth from "Irwin" to "Irvine," [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2018/07/19/1005-the-worlds-greatest-minigolf-player/ sometimes even in the same strip.]]
249* ComingOutStory: Her DayInTheLimelight revolves around dealing with her unrequited crush, her heart getting broken, and her admitting she's a lesbian (and not bi).
250* DatingCatwoman: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2022/03/30/1323-zoey-unsettles-parts-of-the-population/ This strip]] reveals that Zoey is actually interested in Sandra, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2022/04/02/1324-cutie-pie/ who takes this revelation surprisingly well]].
251* ADayInTheLimelight: Zoey has her own arc now, where she deals with her lesbian issues, starting [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/09/16/0511-a-visitor-from-england/ here]].
252* DeadpanSnarker: Even when depressed, she can still keep up the snark.
253* ForcefulKiss: Gives one to Michelle, thinking that she would reciprocate her feelings. [[TearJerker She didn't.]]
254* IncompatibleOrientation: Has a crush on Michelle, her best friend, who has a crush on Cloud.
255** UnrequitedLove: Finds out the hard way that Michelle has no interest in her and that she is disgusted by gay people.
256* InelegantBlubbering: In [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/?p=9975 this strip.]] She tries to pass this off in the last panel as BeautyIsNeverTarnished, which only earns her a confused look from Michelle.
257* KickTheDog: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/12/25/0644-the-most-dangerous-game/ Middle school girls: The only known species that always tortures its prey before devouring it.]]
258* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/10/21/0521-rare-and-valuable-issue/ Even Larisa can tell something's wrong here.]]
259* SecretKeeper: She is initially the only one Larisa has told her secret medical condition to, in exchange for Zoey telling her about her sexuality. No longer the only one as of [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/09/14/0718-corrupting-the-youth/ Strip #718.]]
260* SoreLoser: She does ''not'' take [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/?p=9975 losing to Sandra]] well.
261* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her last name is occasionally said to be Irvine. Inconsistent enough that Zoey herself uses both names in [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2018/07/19/1005-the-worlds-greatest-minigolf-player/ this strip alone.]]
262* TakeThat: She breaks up with Julia, stating that she was 'unbearably bland', which makes this one to both Gilligan, the rabid shipper who [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/02/28/1063-zoeylia/ insisted on them hooking up]] and to the concept of creating characters in media that have no actual personality or purpose other than to satisfy a shipper or a diversity checkmark.
263* ThoseTwoGirls: Up until she and Michelle got more focus, they were just background characters that always appeared together.
264* TookALevelInKindness: Admittedly, she considered Larisa a bully, so she never felt the need to show her or Sandra kindness, but after agreeing to a truce with Larisa, she has become a kinder person... to the audience.
265* TropaholicsAnonymous: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2017/03/30/0873-under-a-killer-balloon-gone-girl-page-2/ Got their help to become less of a bully]].
266[[/folder]]
267
268[[folder:Michelle]]
269One of Sandra's classmates. She has a huge crush on Cloud, which generally shows itself as jealousy. Best friends with Zoey.
270----
271* AscendedExtra: Thanks to Zoey's ADayInTheLimeLight as well as more focus overall, Michelle too has received more focus.
272* AlphaBitch: Like Zoey, she is a popular girl whose most common appearances are of her insulting Sandra or Larisa.
273* ClosetKey: To Zoey.
274* GreenEyedMonster: She is incredibly jealous of Sandra's relationship with Cloud.
275* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While pretty much all of her appearances have been of her insulting Sandra or Larisa, she tries to help Larisa and Landon's relationship.
276* ThoseTwoGirls: It's not often that she won't be seen with Zoey at her side.
277* UnrequitedLove: To say she has no chance with Cloud is something of an understatement.
278[[/folder]]
279
280[[folder:Luna Herrera]]
281One of Sandra's classmates, who just came from [[WretchedHive Camden, New Jersey]] after some troubles with local folks.
282----
283* BeadyEyedLoser: Her character design.
284* BewareTheNiceOnes: She can get really [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/01/28/0756-bad-call/ passionate]] about football. And best part? The referee actually did what she said.
285* BookDumb: She's not very good at factorizing. How bad she is? She gets to traumatize her former teacher and after some help and 20 terms, Sandra just got one nervous breakdown.
286* TheCaretaker: She looks after her dad now that he fell into a deep depression after a robbery and his wife's murder.
287* ChekhovsGun: In strip 663, Larisa gave a blue box containing what she later described as a PlotDevice to be used as a DeusExMachina at a later moment. [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/12/12/0842-the-divine-comedy-page-39-deus-ex-machina/ It got used in strip 842.]]
288* DudeMagnet: No less than five boys have shown interest in her over the strip's run.
289* AFriendInNeed: Her classmates donated their own old furniture for her empty apartment and collected enough money for her bills for a while. Larisa even sold her precious flamethrower. One of them agrees to give her leftovers from his family's butcher shop and another gave her dresses she made with her tailoress aunt. She's brought to tears at all the kindness.
290* LimitedWardrobe: She doesn't have that many clothes, and gets chewed out by Zoey as a result. {{Justified|Trope}} by her family's poverty.
291* MissingMom: Her mother was killed by a crackhead.
292* MyGodYouAreSerious: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/03/16/0667-reading-material/ Larisa doesn't appreciate]] that Luna didn't take her seminar seriously.
293* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being normally shy, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2018/05/14/0988-sharing-is-caring/ she ends up taking Larisa's attempt at getting her a boyfriend in a direction]] that even ''Larisa'' didn't expect. As one commenter points out, she's basically a reverse harem.
294* ThePollyanna: Despite coming from a city where murder is considered ''a natural cause of death'', she thinks of the place as "not so bad" and has managed to stay strong in her situation.
295* {{Polyamory}}: She's happily in an open relationship with three boys.
296%%* ShrinkingViolet
297* TearsOfJoy: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/03/12/0666-the-strip-of-the-beast/ Our 666th strip is about a shy girl trying on dresses and crying tears of joy]]. Deal with it.

300[[folder:Benjamin and Theo]]
301Cloud's other male friends
302----
303%%* OutOfFocus:
304* ThoseTwoGuys: Are always seen hanging out together.
305%%* UnrequitedLove:
306[[/folder]]
307
308[[folder:Gilligan]]
309Thought to be a StalkerWithACrush to Zoey before turning out to be a hardcore shipper instead. He spends all of his appearances trying to hook Zoey up with a previously unseen classmate named Julia (In other words, making [[PortmanteauCoupleName Zoelia]] happen).
310----
311* AmbiguousDisorder: He's clearly not sane of mind given the antics he pulls throughout the entire shipping arc.
312* AllForNothing: Zoey breaks up with Julia offscreen.
313%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}:
314* KarmaHoudini: Despite constantly harassing Zoey during the Shipping arc about her getting together with Julia, he managed to escape conviction when he was arrested for said harassment and ''actually'' got what he wanted.
315* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: That is, until Zoey states she and Julia broke up offscreen. Potentially, anyway, since this kills his long desired ship.
316%%* OccidentalOtaku:
317%%* SeriousBusiness: Completely fixated on [[ShipperOnDeck shipping]] and claims to have impeccable taste in pairing up both fictional and real-life people
318* ShipperOnDeck: He seriously wants Zoey and Julia to be a thing and would go to extreme lengths to make it happen. He's also no stranger to shipping fictional couples to the point of obsession.
319* StalkerWithoutACrush: He spent his [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/02/25/1062-stalker/ first appearance in the comic]] lurking behind Zoey as she goes about her day which made her initially think he was a StalkerWithACrush. It was clarified in the [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/02/28/1063-zoeylia/ next strip]] that Gilligan is actually a die-hard ''[[ShipperOnDeck shipper]]'' which is a lot worse than Zoey could imagine. To list, he harassed Zoey into going after Julia, build a giant toothpick statue of her and outs Zoey while expressing the desire to make his ship happened to the entire school over the intercom.
320* TakeThat: Gilligan is loosely based on the person who sent 20 emails about Zoey getting a girlfriend to Oliver Knörzer, the writer of ''Sandra and Woo''. Leading to an arc of the very same idea with the addition of said person being portrayed as an invasive, creepy, shipping-obsessed stalker.
321* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Has not shown up since the Shipping arc ended.
322* YuriFan: Pairs up Zoey and Julia despite the latter never being mentioned by Zoey or anyone at any point of the comic before her introduction or knowing her sexual orientation (An in-universe CrackPairing if you will). However, Gilligan's intuition proves to be correct when the girls got together in the end...until [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2022/03/23/1322-marshmallow/ Zoey breaks up with Julia due to her being "unbearably bland".]]
323[[/folder]]
324
325[[folder:Julia]]
326A classmate of Zoey who later hooks up with her due to Gilligan's meddling.
327----
328* OfficialCouple: With Zoey which surprisingly stuck around longer than it should have after the shipping arc concluded despite how the arc was to shut up the guy who harassed the creators over email and Julia's [[PutOnTheBus long absence]].
329* PutOnTheBus: Barely showed up since the Shipping arc ended (only showing up for a [[TheCameo cameo]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2021/02/18/1247-humility/ here]] before disappearing again afterward) and then Zoey metioned she broke up with her offscreen as in strip 1322.
330* SatelliteLoveInterest: So much so, that it's the reason Zoey eventually breaks up with her, and [[WeHardlyKnewYe the audience never learns as much as her last name]].
331-->'''Sandra:''' Are you still with Julia?\
332'''Zoey:''' Nah. [Shakes head] \
333'''Sandra:''' Oh. What happened?\
334'''Zoey:''' Nothing. And that was exactly the problem! She was unbearably bland! The human equivalent of a marshmallow!

337[[folder:Justin]]

340* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He was never even mentioned once after his departure from the comic strip, not that anyone would notice or care for that matter.
341* PutOnABus: Went to go for his soccer practice and was never seen again.
342* SatelliteLoveInterest: He is this to Larissa. Until she started dating Landon.
343* WeHardlyKnewYe: Appeared in a total of 3 strips before disappearing from the face of the earth.

358* TheChewToy: Winter is not a very good season for him with tons of hungry predators around.
359* MisplacedWildlife: He is a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_squirrel Eurasian red squirrel]] living in North America, because his pregnant mother [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2010/12/30/0232-the-fall/ fell into a tourist's suitcase]] in France.

367* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: Especially in front of a [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/12/30/0541-firm-grip/ racoon celebrity]].
368* MamaBear: HAH! Lily's over-protectiveness of her newborn kits puts mother bears to shame. She pulls out a shotgun,threatens Woo to stay away from them and won't let him see the kits until they're three and a half years old (aka adults) and btw, Woo is the kits' father. Only changing her mind after Seeoahtlahmakaskay agrees to condemn anyone who hurts the kits to Hell.
369* [[PalsWithJesus Pals With Seeoahtlahmakaskay]]
370* RelationshipUpgrade: She and Woo were in a FriendsWithBenefits sort of relationship; it was after Woo saved her life that she decided on both being a monogamous OfficialCouple.
371* SatelliteLoveInterest: She's normally seen with Woo. Recent strips are subverting this as she's meeting more of Woo's friends, like Sid and Sandra, though with the latter she has some problems.
372* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: She gives a [[DeathGlare nasty glare]] [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/01/16/0546-a-place-in-her-heart/ at Butterfly]] for daring to hint Woo is a liar.
373[[/folder]]
374
375[[folder:Butterfly]]
376A raccoon celebrity famous for being able to climb higher than any other raccoon.
377----
378* CrushingHandshake: Gives one to Woo, not out of aggression but because she DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength.
379* PerformanceAnxiety: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/12/16/0537-the-manager/ "21 hours, 17 minutes and 14 seconds before I fall to my death...]]
380* YouNeedToGetLaid: The raccoon goddess suggests that she go look for a new goal after Butterfly climbed the most difficult mountain in the world,thus finishing her 'to do' list. By which she meant Butterfly finding a mate and having babies. Amusingly, Butterfly doesn't get it and starts [[MarriedToTheJob planning more difficult and awesome challenges]].
381** Until TheStinger on the arc [[spoiler:hinted that the goddess had arranged it anyway, but much more surreptitiously]].

387* AscendedToCarnivorism: Provides the page image.
388* BadassNormal: Is a squirrel who is proficient at using guns and knives to kill her predators- er, prey.
389* DeathByIrony: Her victims are predators whose method of death was "killed and eaten by a squirrel".
390* TheDreaded: For proof, just see [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/03/10/0767-the-legend/ this]].
391* HeelRealization: PlayedWith. She realizes after killing a young jaguar who has kids that killing those predators who still have a whole life ahead of them is wrong. Sid helps her compromise so that she'll only kill the old and sick, [[FantasticRacism but tells her that she can still kill the wolf pups, which she agrees to]].
392* TheHunterBecomesTheHunted: Her presence causes this.
393* KillerRabbit: Again, ''hunts wolves''.
394* OrgasmicallyDelicious: In [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/03/21/0770-nsfk/ #770]], she describes a steak she stole from Sandra's father's fridge and how she will eat it in very sexual terms.
395* ShipTease: Judging for [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/03/24/0771-wilde-for-judy/ this chapter]], there's something going on between her and Sid.
396* ShroudedInMyth: The eagle describes her with "razor-sharp claws and fiery eyes".

410* AnimalStereotypes: [[RascallyRaccoon Seeoahtlahmakaskay]], [[ThoseWilyCoyotes Coyote]], [[RascallyRabbit El-ahrairah]], and [[CunningLikeAFox Reynard]] are tricksters, and [[NobleWolf Isengrim]] and [[NobleBirdOfPrey Roc]] are very mighty beasts. Meanwhile, [[HumansAreLeaders Thomas]] is more on the order side of OrderVersusChaos.
411* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They all favor their own subjects, which leads to conflict when one animal clearly intends to eat another.
412* CarnivoreConfusion: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/01/30/0550-live-broadcast/ Ratatoskr seems a tad bit nervous about the presence of predators in the room.]]
413* CelestialBureaucracy: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/08/04/0809-the-divine-comedy-page-7/ Hinted at by the Devil, who fearfully refers to them as "Upper Management".]][[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/08/08/0810-the-divine-comedy-page-8/ Not to be messed with apparently.]]

461* TheAtoner: After accidentally causing the Cretaceous-Palaeogene extinction event which killed off most of the dinosaurs, he spends most of his time answering the prayers of the last surviving ones, which are birds.
462* TheGodsMustBeLazy: Averted. Compared to other gods, he's a workaholic. There's a ''very'' good reason for this.

471The Human God.
472----
473* {{God}}: Has the appearance of Him, but is slightly different in purpose.
474* GodIsDead: [[spoiler:Killed by Odin at the end of the "Divine Comedy" story arc]].
475** LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:He's immediately replaced when a random human is offered to take over his job. It's implied Thomas wasn't the first one to hold the position]].
476* GrandpaGod: He has the stereotypical "old-aged man" look, with his all-white hair and big beard and mustache.
477* JerkassGods: [[EvenEvilHasStandards To the point even the devil is disgusted.]]
478* MadeOfBologna: When [[spoiler:Odin]] kills [[spoiler:Thomas J. God]], he is not shown to have any inner organs... And dissolves into nothing like a video game character.

482Thomas' main enemy.
483----
484* AffablyEvil: Makes no pretense not to be evil, but he's so damn ''nice'' about it you can't help but sympathize.
485* BerserkButton: ''Possibly,'' [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/08/29/0816-the-divine-comedy-page-14/ but he went pretty damn frigid and managed to scare Larisa when she asked him about Mr. Rogers]]:
486-->'''The Devil:''' Don't ever talk about the "anomaly" again!
487* TheCorrupter: In a very nice way.
488* DealWithTheDevil: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/07/25/0806-the-divine-comedy-page-4/ Of course]]. Given [[AffablyEvil how he is]], [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/07/28/0807-the-divine-comedy-page-5/ it's more a job offer than anything]].
489* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/07/14/0803-the-divine-comedy-page-1/ Even he is disgusted by Thomas' antics]].
490** {{Subverted|Trope}} when he finds out Larisa would wish [[AFateWorseThanDeath insomnia, immobility, and immortality]] on her worst enemy: [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/08/01/0808-the-divine-comedy-page-6/ he offers her a place on the board of directors]].
491* {{FacePalm}}: Shown doing this [[spoiler:as his sister Fortuna unleashes a spider Cthulhu-like monster from her mouth to eat John after the latter fails to stop using the fate alteration engine despite multiple warnings.]]
492* HumansAreBastards: Downplayed, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/08/29/0816-the-divine-comedy-page-14/ but he laughs at the idea of a truly "pure and innocent human."]] At least until Larisa mentions [[Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood a certain Mr. Rogers...]]
493* NotMeThisTime: A regular occurrence for him: he doesn't cause much trouble for humanity, especially compared to Thomas, [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2016/07/18/0804-the-divine-comedy-page-2/ but he's always blamed because the one who does has a multi-billion dollar P.R. agency]].

503* FrameUp: Thomas once put on him the blame for manipulating the driver's logbook, hence his status when he appears in the series.

532* HalfwayPlotSwitch: The "Serial Killer" arc was formerly about Sandy South (Sandra North's detective alter ego) comforting whoever changed the formula of her favorite cereal.

541A "moral police" member who becomes the biology teacher in Sandra's school.
542----
543* {{Expy}}: To [[Literature/HarryPotter Dolores Umbridge]], naturally.
544* DoesNotLikeMen: Cloud describes her as a man-hater while talking with his mother.
545* HenpeckedHusband: Variation. Her husband is supportive to her hardcore feminism and he seems to have no problem with her being the one wearing the pants in the relationship. He even asks her if he can make her a sandwich.
546* KilledOffForReal: May be the case, though she just disappeared with a "Puff". After getting on Ye Thuza's bad side.
547* StrawFeminist: In her ''introduction'', she takes over from the former biology teacher (who's dragged off the classroom by two female masked thugs) for teaching that there are statistically more smart men than women (he was in the middle of explaining that men have a higher statistical variance in intelligence and was interrupted before he could say that this means there are more ''stupid'' men than women as well); she then proceeds to ''permanently close all men's bathrooms in the school'' under the justification that it's where boys expose their genitals mere feet away from girls (technically true if you don't care about the wall separating the two bathrooms), straight-up call females the "better sex", give higher marks to girls than boys for correct answers on ''multiple-choice tests'', and ''force the boys to wear skirts as uniforms'', all while preaching about gender equality with actions that clearly favor the girls. In her last appearance, she goes as far as to state that gender equality can only be achieved by '''castrating all men and drilling a hole into them'''.
548* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She just disappeared after going into a room. Puff. She has never been mentioned or acknowledged since then.

551[[folder:Melody Crawford]]
552One of Richard North's new coworkers, and head of the graphics programming department. She and Richard seem to disagree on just about everything, particularly when it comes to the esoterica of computer science.
553----
554* AnythingButThat / ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In order to go after Richard, she [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment changes the indent style on all of his code.]] He [[AxCrazy doesn't take it well.]]
555-->'''Jack:''' I can provide an alibi for you on Saturday from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M.\
556'''Richard:''' [''while sharpening an axe''] I always knew I could count on you when it really mattered, Jack.
557* BelligerentSexualTension: Seems to be going this way with Richard, although given how little attraction there is between the two, it may be [[AvertedTrope plain old belligerence.]]
558** It got bad enough that they were brought into mediation, ''and [[INeedAFreakingDrink drove the mediator to drink.]]''
559** And then Richard invites her to dinner...
560* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She leaps on the table during the mediation session in order to throw further childish taunts at Richard.
561* CuteAndPsycho: She's a nice girl who likes to write code for open projects, cooks fancy three-course meals, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick sexually identifies herself as a praying mantis who]] ''[[BreadEggsMilkSquick devours her lovers' heads after intercourse]]'' while flashing a pair of [[GirlWithPsychoWeapon gardening scissors]]. Then it's implied she might actually be [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/05/04/0680-modus-operandi/ a serial killer]].
562-->'''Richard:''' ''(thinking while looking clearly disappointed)'' There's always something.
563* NerdGlasses: A part of her nerd getup.
564* PutOnABus: She's built up as a potential love interest for Richard before promptly disappearing at the end of her introductory arc, only showing up in two more strips (one of which was the 1000th page special).
565* RichBoredom: She won ''two million'' dollars from the lottery, but quickly grew bored and started to seek a job or getting hobbies for the sake of doing something.
566* VolleyingInsults: It's easier to count the things she ''does'' agree with Richard on.

569[[folder:Hitomi Sato]]
570A young woman working at a maid cafe that Richard hits it off with during a business trip to Japan.
571----
572* BookDumb: By her own admission, she's not "[[{{Malaproper}} the brightest bulb on the cake]]", and she also states that she failed 10th grade.
573* CosplayOtakuGirl: She works at a MaidCafe during the day and dresses up as a catgirl while at home.
574* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: Her one line of ([[TranslationConvention translated]]) Japanese when talking to her father is far more natural sounding than the rest of her dialogue that's in English.
575* {{Meido}}: Her day job is working at a maid cafe.
576* NotSoAboveItAll: She's not above having a woman "show off" her body, as she suggests her step daughter that Cloud might like it if she dressed in ''only'' cat ears.
577* SecondLove: For Richard. Discounting that time he invited Melody to dinner (which didn't end up going anywhere), she's the first woman he's shown being in a relationship with following his wife's death.
578* ThirdPersonPerson: Hitomi rarely uses first-person pronouns due to [[YouNoTakeCandle not being fluent in English]].
