22	* BrilliantButLazy: He's good with scheming, and put can only do well in school when properly motivated.
23	* CatchPhrase: "Don't judge me!"
24	* DidntThinkThisThrough: One of Todd's major flaws is that he is very impulsive, as he is willing to make a plan to get out of a situation without realizing the consequences, which is why most of his schemes fall flat:
25	** "Truth or Daring" is a major example of this. In that episode, Todd is tired of Riley always being honest, so he gives her truth salt to teach her a lesson that honesty is not always the best policy. He also infects himself with lie spice as a way to make him [[ADogAteMyHomework get excused at school]] and [[ManipulativeBastard to make a fool out of others]]. He didn't take into account that the truth salt makes Riley tells the truth to others, including himself and he only finds out about the lie spice's side effects, after accidentally lying to the librarian. Naturally, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard his plan ends up getting him in major amounts of trouble]], including having to endure TrainingFromHell. [[LaserGuidedKarma It ultimately results in him getting karmic comeuppance at the end by getting truth salt forced by Agent K]].
26	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Todd is the foolish brother to his more responsible older sister Riley.
27	* HappilyAdopted: Along with Riley
28	* ItsAllAboutMe: His schemes are all geared towards getting him something he wants, with no regard to what this could do to others unless he himself is affected or if one of his friends or family members call him out on it.
29	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As selfish and manipulative as he can be, he can show a soft side to his family.
30	* ManipulativeBastard: Is an expert in tricking people.
31	* ProudToBeAGeek: He's the leader of the school's sci-fi fan club.
32	* SiblingYinYang: With Riley.
33	* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: He often deserves whatever misfortune he experiences, and it is almost always funny.

48	* BetweenMyLegs: In ''The Majestic Horse''.
49	* {{Flanderization}}: She's noticeably more pushy and self centered and shows more tsundere traits in later episodes. [[Administrivia/TropesAreNotBad Doesn't make her any less hilarious, though.]]

51	* {{Gasshole}}: She burps a lot.
52	* HappilyAdopted: With Todd
53	* ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin: Her sugar addiction.
54	* KiddieKid: In addition to her love for unicorns, she secretly watches a preschool show about a puppet giraffe whenever she "feels blue". [[spoiler:As it turns out, Tasumi hosted the Japanese version of the show.]]
55	* NiceGirl: In comparison to Todd, Riley's replacements usually come from more altruistic intentions (most of the time) and is usually there to help her brother when things go sideways.
56	* SiblingYinYang: With Todd.
57	* StalkerWithACrush: She has a very obvious, near obsessive crush on Johnny, which can cross into {{Yandere}} territory at times.

64	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaranNorris
65
66	The siblings' world-famous daredevil adoptive father.
67	----
68	* AlliterativeName: '''D'''ick '''D'''aring.
69	* BigEater: Can eat huge quantities of food. The episode ''See Dick Run'' sees him eat 37 pounds of ice cream.
70	* BumblingDad: He's certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed in comparison to the rest of his family. Despite this, he's still a loving husband and is always there for his kids. ''A Daring Romance'' shows that despite his flaws, Dick is willing to make a conscious effort to be better.
71	* ButtMonkey: Dick is usually the biggest source of physical comedy on the show, and can walk away from almost anything completely unfazed.
72	* CatchPhrase: "Look out below!"
73	* CompanionCube: His stuffed bear Evel Bearnievel.
74	* ExtremeOmnivore: He once ate 50 pinecones on a dare. The dare was only to eat one pinecone, but he found them so delicious he couldn't help himself.
75	* HappilyMarried: To Agent K, despite them being the chosen replacement parents of Todd and Riley.
76	* MasculineLinesFeminineCurves: [[{{InvertedTrope}} Inverted.]] His design is much more rounded than his wife's very angular body.
77	* OneOfTheKids: He's pretty immature, to the point that he really doesn't need much convincing to get involved with his children's schemes.
78	* SarcasmBlind: Doesn't respond to C.A.R.'s sardonic put-downs.
79	* SupremeChef: Dick is a surprisingly decent chef--but compared to his wife, that's a low bar to clear.
80	* ThrillSeeker: It's part of his job. In ''Jumping Mad'', Riley tries to make Dick's stunts more safe, it backfires and sends him into depression because there's no more risk in his job.
81	-->'''Dick:''' I'm Dick Daring! Not Dick Perfect! Perfect is boring! I take chances; live on the edge!
82	* TopHeavyGuy: He's ''very'' buff and has comparatively little legs.
83	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: In the episode "The Spy Who Was Riley", he reveals that he's afraid of clowns since childhood. [[spoiler:He managed to face his fear when he joins with Todd to distract Dr. Scorpius' two henchmen.]]

90
91	The siblings' adoptive mother who is of British descent and is a super spy.
92	----
93	* ActionMom: She's a spy with a mastery of martial arts, but also a caring and devoted mother.
94	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Let's just say that she's very eccentric.
95	* ConspiracyTheorist: She is rather paranoid.
96	* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Mildred.
97	* GrapplingHookPistol: She wields one frequently.
98	* HappilyMarried: To Dick Daring, despite them being the chosen replacement parents of Todd and Riley.
99	* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: K is unnaturally curvaceous and so slender her utility belt is hanging off her hips, as in her page image.
100	* LethalChef: Dick uses one of her attempts as roof shingles.
101	* MaleGaze: We often get a nice view of her backside.
102	* MasculineLinesFeminineCurves: [[{{InvertedTrope}} Inverted.]] Her design is made of very sharp angles, in contrast to her husband's more rounded body.
103	* ParentService: In case you couldn't tell, she's a very attractive woman.
104	* SpyCatsuit: Her standard attire.
105	* StacysMom: Many of Todd's friends are in love with her.
106	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She has crippling stage fright.

111	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidMcCallum

113	The high-tech family car with a British accent. He can do just about anything, but is not always willing to do something for the family, especially not for Dick.
114	----
115	* AutomatedAutomobiles: Although he can be driven, he more often than not drives himself.
116	* CoolCar: When he's not acting like a snob.
117	* DeadpanSnarker: Mostly towards Dick.
118	* ObnoxiousInLaws: That's pretty close to how he treats Dick.
119	* WeaponizedCar: As a spy car, C.A.R. is packed full of various gadgets to be used in missions.
120	[[/folder]]
121
122	[[folder:Prince Cinnamon Boots]]
123	!!Prince Cinnamon Boots
124
125	The Daring Family's pet mule.
126	----
127	* ButtMonkey: In terms of being remembered by the family.
128	* TheDogBitesBack: After being forgotten so many times by the Daring family, he decides to take over the house and lock them out until they apologize for their behavior.
129	* SomethingWeForgot: A RunningGag throughout the show is the cast forgetting about his existance and leaving him left out on either their adventures or his own adventures.

132	!Supporting Cast
133	[[folder:Conrad Fleem]]
134	!!Conrad Fleem
135	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JeffBennett
136
137	The mysterious owner of the Fleemco company. He processes Todd and Riley's requests whenever they call him.
138	----
139	* TheFaceless: We only see him from behind [[spoiler:until the series finale]].
140	* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Just replace father with uncle and you can fill in the rest...]]
141	[[/folder]]
142
143	[[folder:Tasumi]]
144	!!Tasumi
145	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LaurenTom
146
147	Riley's Japanese best friend. She always wears a pink armor and claims her family is part of a crime-fighting team. She also has a list of people she hates.
148
149	In "Tasumi Unmasked", it's revealed that Tasumi is in fact a Japanese pop star. She moved to Pleasant Hills in order to escape the constant adoration of her fans and live a peaceful life. In order to make sure that nobody recognized her, she wore a costume from a popular TV show and used details from that show in order to get a new history.
150	----
151	* TwentyFourHourArmor: Never took off her armor until "Tasumi Unmasked" by Riley's hand. Justified so that she could disguise herself as either a Sentai/Power Ranger like girl or at least a girl delusional enough to think she was one to avoid her hordes of Pop Idol fans.
152	* BeautifulAllAlong: Her blue hair and attitude hints to an AsianAndNerdy look, but Riley after unmasking her regards her as cute.
153	* CatchPhrase: "You're back on my list!" and "That's wacky time!"
154	* {{Engrish}}: Her English uses a few Asian stereotypical pronunciations. Justified in part that she did not grow up in America.
155	* TheFaceless: Her face was always obscured until "Tasumi Unmasked". Riley is shocked to discover her being pleasant looking.
156	* IJustWantToBeNormal: She made a whole new identity for herself to get away from her celebrity status and live in peace. Ironically, her idea of normal was to give herself and family a Franchise/SuperSentai like history and image which is anything but average.
157	* LastMinuteHookUp: With [[spoiler:Jacobo]] in the final episode as they can be seen holding hands.
158	* ObfuscatingInsanity: She claims to be from a Sentai-like crime-fighting team and acts like a Super Sentai or anime protagonist. It's mixed on whether her American friends believe her or just don't find it worth questioning her until Riley decides to investigate once and for all. It turns out Tasumi is a pop-idol who disguised herself as an always masked crime fighting character from a Japanese show that Americans aren't familiar with and her Japanese fans wouldn't think she'd like to avoid the pressures of fame and fandom. Everything she did in her disguise was just to shake off suspicion from her American friends and Japanese fans to appear as a random delusional nerd instead of celebrity.
159	%%* YouthfulFreckles: Unmasked.
160	[[/folder]]
161
162	[[folder:Jacobo Jacobo]]
163	!!Jacobo Jacobo (Ha-co-bo)
164	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CandiMilo
165
166	Todd's best friend who is of Mexican descent.
167	----
168	* LastMinuteHookUp: He hooks up with [[spoiler:Tasumi]] in "Irreplaceable", catching Riley and Todd by surprise.
169	* PrecociousCrush: He has one on Agent K.
170	* RepetitiveName: His given and surnames are exactly the same.
171	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is constantly being misspelled as "Hakobo", even by the close-captions, as it's easy for non Spanish speakers to miss the fact that J in Spanish is pronounced like H is in English.

173
174	[[folder:Abbey Willson]]
175	!!Abbey Willson
176	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EricaHubbard in Season One, Tempestt Bledsoe in Season Two
177
178	Riley's other best friend.
179	----
180	* RichBitch: She tends to have these moments in the prescience of other rich characters to fit in with them at the expense of her average friends.
181	** [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Her sister]] is a more straightforward example.
182	* TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed, but she's the only one of Riley's friends who would side with AlphaBitch Sierra and the other RichBitch characters just for the sake of her class status. Otherwise she's still part of Riley's friend group.
183	* WithFriendsLikeThese: Agrees or laughs with [[AlphaBitch Sierra]]'s insults from time to time. She often gets glares from both Riley and Tasumi because of this.
184	[[/folder]]
185
186	[[folder:Shelton Klutzberry]]
187	!!Shelton Klutzberry
188	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JeffBennett
189
190	The StereotypicalNerd at school.
191	----
192	* BeautifulAllAlong: When he loses his NerdGlasses. Given that his mother is a case of UglyGuyHotWife, he clearly inherited his mother's good looks.
193	* BlindWithoutThem: When he loses his glasses and tries to run away, he can't help but collide everywhere.
194	* ButtMonkey: The subject of most of the slapstick and insults whenever he's around.
195	* DumberThanTheyLook: Shelton looks and sounds like a stereotypical nerd with his [[GeekPhysique scrawny physique]], poor posture and huge NerdGlasses. However, as the series goes on it becomes clear that Shelton is actually an incredibly dim and gullible individual, and never shows any signs of being prolific at academia or any sort of intelligence. In "Truth or Daring" Todd manages to trick him into agreeing to challenging a professional wrestler to a fight (keep in mind Shelton isn't even [[PatheticallyWeak strong enough to crush an egg]]). After he's been viciously defeated, Todd tries to trick him into a rematch by lying the wrestler has a fear of Crabs and raspberries. Shelton not only agrees but hopelessly misinterprets Todd's advice.
196	* FakeGirlfriend: He has a fake girlfriend named Zelda, who is an interesting twist he acknowledges is not real, but says that a fake girlfriend is all he can handle right now and isn't ready for a 'real' one. Given that he turns into a ChickMagnet without his glasses it's surprising, until one realizes he's still an awkward nerd and thus doesn't want the attention of all those girls on him.
197	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The Daring siblings and their friends merely tolerate Shelton rather than being friends with him.
198	* TheGlassesGotToGo: Parodied. Without his glasses, he suddenly loses his poor posture and overbite as well as gaining a deep, handsome voice with no stuttering. How glasses cause any of these ailments is unknown. He doesn't like people to know because it turns him into a ChickMagnet and he doesn't want a girlfriend right now.

206	----
207	* CatchPhrase: "Buzz fury!", "Good one, Buzz", and calling Todd and Riley "losers".
208	* CompensatingForSomething: Wields a big mallet to compensate for having tiny feet.
209	* GoKartingWithBowser: A few episodes of Season 1 had him participating in Todd and Riley's activities.
210	** TokenEvilTeammate: Whenever he does hang with the gang he becomes this as he still denigrates his supposed friends and is less moral.
211	* JerkJock: He's sporty and a bit of an ass to Todd even when he's their friend.
212	[[/folder]]
213
214	[[folder:Johnny Hitswell]]
215	!!Johnny Hitswell
216	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DeeBradleyBaker

219	----
220	* BigManOnCampus: The most popular guy in school who Riley has a crush on.
221	* PunnyName: Johnny ''Hits well''. Geddit?
222	* SatelliteLoveInterest: Ends up getting subverted. His main development is how he interacts with Riley, but breaks up with her upon realizing that she's too controlling and he wants a life of his own.

229	The popular girl at school, and Riley's arch nemesis.
230	----
231	* AlphaBitch: The most popular girl in school, fairly well off, and a total jerk.
232	* ClosetGeek: A big fan of ''[[Franchise/StarTrek Star Journeys]]'', but she keeps that a secret since her fellow cheerleaders wouldn't think it's cool.
233	%%* GirlishPigtails
234	* HiddenDepths: She was actually happy in "Cheer Pressure" to quit the squad because it meant she could be whatever she wanted to be instead of what was expected of her.
235	* {{Jerkass}}: As the show's obligatory AlphaBitch, she's framed as a mean, unpleasant person.
236	* KickTheDog: She does this in "CindeRiley". She pretends to let Riley join her "cool girls' club", then she pushes Riley into a fountain and ruins her makeover.
237	%%* ManipulativeBitch
238	* RelationshipSabotage: Tries to do this to Riley's relationship with Johnny.
239	* RichBitch: Loaded and a total jerkass to Riley. Her wealth actually tempts Abbey to join her in an effort to fit in with the other rich students.
240	* ShipTease: With Todd of all people in "Cheer Pressure", the two bonding over a mutual love of sci-fi. After she realizes she has to return to being a cheerleader and leave the nerdy stuff behind for the sake of her reputation, she bids him farewell and assures him that "he will always be her space pal".

247
248	A professional bully who is Buzz's mentor and Todd's other nemesis.
249	----
250	* TheBully: More consistently than Buzz, given that the latter can at least be a TokenEvilTeammate.
251	* EvilerThanThou: Buzz is eager to learn from him because he's a lot crueler than he'll ever be. Donny doesn't even consider Todd a rough friend from time to time like Buzz.
252	* EvilMentor: To Buzz in bullying, who is giddy about being in the presence of a master.
