7The heart of ''Webcomic/{{Zoophobia}}'' is its eclectic, wildly original cast of characters. Ranging from humans to animals to the strangest of creatures and most mysterious of entities, they are the bread and butter of the story. And knowing all the characters [[WordOfGod Vivienne]] has created solely for this comic and shown us already, yet have not appeared in the comic so far, this page will be ever-growing in content.

9''Note: Due to the expected myriad of characters, please list all entries in alphabetical order.''
10----
11[[foldercontrol]]
12
13[[folder:Multiple]]
14* BigOlEyebrows: The art style gives most of the male characters these.
15* BioluminescenceIsCool: Many of the characters have glowing eyes/accessories/etc...
16%%* CartoonyEyes
17* ExoticEyeDesigns: Many of the demon and animal characters have these. The author has made a key for what most of the eye designs mean.
18* HartmanHips: All of the girls, especially Cameron.
19* InterfaceScrew: Each character has their own text bubble color, text color and handwriting style. For most characters, this is easy to read, though for some it actually makes it quite difficult. Cameron, being the most mundane of the cast, has the most normal handwriting.
20* MorphicResonance: The shapeshifter characters' human forms have hair and eye color matching their animal forms. (Baltimore, a Baltimore oriole has black and orange hair, and orange eyes in her human form.) The shapeshifters also deliberately wear clothing matching the colors and patterns of their animal forms, taking this trope even further.
21* NoodlePeople: Tend to be really thin and ludicrously flexible.
22* RuleOfCute: Many of the characters. Ranging from [[{{RidiculouslyCuteCritter}} Ridiculously Cute Critters]] to even UglyCute. Raises the question of WhatMeasureIsANonCute
23* ShapeShifting: Nearly every character is a shapeshifter of some sort, mostly those possessing an animal form. [[note]]Pure humans tend to be seen as lesser beings in the world (though the Z.P. Academy taboos such prejudice), as they are thought of as weaker and less able.[[/note]]

27!!Alanzo Valdez
28[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alanzo_6766.png]]
29->''"Soopitity-doopity to meetcha! My name is Alanzo but call me Al! It's shorter!"''
30
31As the Z.P. Academy Dance instructor, Alanzo is eccentric, zany and light-hearted, much like his wife. Despite his boundless sense of humor, his manner tends to come off as strange and abnormal to others.
32----
33* CampStraight: He teaches dance and wears a tutu yet is quite happily married to Jackie.
34%%* CoolTeacher
35* FunPersonified: Just look at his cheerfulness and circus tent colours.
36* HappilyMarried: His first response upon seeing Jackie is to come over to hug her.
37* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: He does, after all, teach ballet.
38* OneOfTheKids: He's a silly teacher who teaches silly students.
39* VoluntaryShapeshifter: Like Jackie, he's actually a shapeshifting macaw (or an 'avian'), though his bird form is yet to be shown.

43!!Cameron Walden
44[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Cameron_icon_7774.png]]
45->''"S-so I'm stuck in the crazy magical world of oversized talking animals?"''
46
47A terribly neurotic young woman with an immense fear of animals, Cameron Walden is the protagonist of the introduction arc. She was recently employed as the Z.P. Academy's new guidance counsellor. Despite her tendency to be faint of heart, she is go-getting, curious, and passionate to be of help to others. She also enjoys sleeping and long walks on the beach.
48----
49%%* ApologisesALot:%%Quotes aren't context.
50%%-->'''Cameron:''' I'm so sorry I'm late!\
51%%'''Interviewer:''' Come in.\
52%%'''Cameron:''' Again, so sorry for being late.\
53%%'''Interviewer:''' It's alright.
54* AudienceSurrogate: Often on the receiving end of infodumps and [[WallOfText text walls]] from other characters, meaning that the reader is too.
55* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She doesn't appear (or is even mentioned) in the "Bad Luck Jack" short.
56* CuteAndPsycho: Invoked. While she's a go-getting young woman with a friendly personality, it's implied that the stress of being surrounded by your worst nightmare for the rest of her life will eventually break her, not that she's perfectly sane to begin with.
57* CuteButCacophonic: [[http://www.zoophobiacomic.com/Zoophobia/?p=192 Screams in terror]] upon meeting her new coworkers.
58* CuteClumsyGirl: At first, she's skittish and nervous, leading to a few moments like this. Though as she gets used to living among the animals, this gets downplayed over time.
59* DeadpanSnarker: On some occasions.
60-->'''Jackie:''' This is the "Arts" wing!!\
61'''Cameron:''' Oh my...never woulda guessed...\
62'''Jackie:''' Hahaha, sarcasm! I like you, Cam.
63* DoomMagnet: Good things tend not to happen to her.
64* FateWorseThanDeath: Living in a world full of amazing creatures from all sorts of mythologies and legends sounds cool, right? Not if you're deathly scared of them, and if they view your species as lesser than theirs.
65* FieryRedhead: Inverted. As sarcastic as she can be, she's the calmest and most composed out of the entire cast.
66* HartmanHips: Not overly so, but they're still quite noticeable.
67* HotTeacher: Though more "cute" than hot. Fabian thinks so at least, he hits on her three times.
68* INeedAFreakingDrink: She refuses Carrie's offer of whiskey at first, citing that she doesn't drink. Once she witnesses a vampire flying through the school halls, she starts to fervently down the drink.
69* InnocentlyInsensitive: Her [[TitleDrop zoophobia]] tends to make her come off as somewhat rude. Getting a deafening scream from her in response to an attempt at friendliness? No thanks.
70* LockedOutOfTheLoop[=/=]MindScrew: [[http://zoophobiacomic.com/comic/snap-2/ Snap.]]
71* LovableCoward: A sweet and kind-hearted basketcase.
72* NaiveNewcomer: She is often on the receiving end of {{Infodump}}s and by proxy, so are we.
73* NervousWreck: Being one of the few humans in a school full of animals, and quite zoophobiac, means she's perpetually on edge, often curling up into a fetal position. Even when her life isn't implicitly in danger, she looks ready to scream at a moments notice. She even provides the page image.
74* NiceGirl: Her phobia aside, she sincerely wants to help others and tries to make sure her office is appropriately calming to her charges.
75* OddFriendship: Despite her fear of animals, she seems to hit it off with Carrie, an intimidating demon lizard.
76* OnlySaneWoman: When you get past her phobia of animals, she's very easily this, and actually wants to help others overcome their problems.
77* PluckyGirl: Even she knows that the staff and students can't keep tip-toeing around her and that if she's going to stay, [[http://www.zoophobiacomic.com/Zoophobia/?p=414 she needs to know what she's up against.]]
78%%* TheScream: Fond of these.
79* ScreamingWoman: Being a newcomer to the world ZP exists in, she is often horrified by the various things that happen to her.
80* ShrinkingViolet: Has a few elements of this, especially around [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes the animals]].
81* TheStoic: [[NotSoStoic When she's not screaming the place down]].
82* StrangerInAStrangeSchool: An ordinary human teacher? In a school of animals, shapeshifters and other magical beings?
83%%* TheTeamNormal: For ZP Academy.
84* ThereAreNoTherapists: ''Double'' subverted. She's a counselor and acts as the LivingEmotionalCrutch to many students and teachers, but she's terrible at it, and clearly needs therapy as much as they do.
85* TokenHuman: Which she is not happy about.
86* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's afraid of animals and provides the comic's title (''Zoophobia'').
87* WrongLineOfWork: A woman with an intense phobia of all animals ends up as a guidance counselor in a school full of them? This definitely qualifies.
88* YouCantGoHomeAgain: According to the other staff, the magical contract that keeps Safe Haven safe will be void if anyone, Cameron included, tries to permanently leave.
89%%* YouthfulFreckles: Thanks to ArtEvolution.

106%%'''Carrie:''' I ain't gonna eatcha! I'd get fired.

108* OddFriendship: She starts of warry of the neurotic Cameron. After hanging out with her in her office, she hits it off with her well enough to want to share some of her homemade whiskey with her.
109* {{Tsundere}}: While [[http://www.zoophobiacomic.com/Zoophobia/?p=191 initially wary]] of Cameron (in contrast to the rest of the staff's receptiveness), she warmed up to her [[http://www.zoophobiacomic.com/Zoophobia/?p=289 pretty quickly]].

118A suave and sultry fox with a very open mind. Despite his calm and collected mien, he is secretly constantly trying to escape the reminders of his wildly adventurous past. He teaches Psychology at the Z.P. Academy.
119----
120* TheCasanova: Has hit on Cameron three times and counting.
121%%* TheCharmer
122%%* CunningLikeAFox
123* DarkAndTroubledPast: His previous NewAgeRetroHippie ways advocating inter-species relationships landed him a long list of enemies.
124* FantasticFoxes: Talking 30 year old human-sized fox.
125* FoxyVixen: A male example. As the series's resident fox, it's no surprise he's one of the more sexually liberal characters around.
126* HippieTeacher: He apparently used to be rather wild, but still has a bit of his old days left in him.
127* MysteriousPast: He and Simon knew each other, but exactly how is yet to be revealed.
128* PrehensileTail: Uses it as a weapon against Simon and Venganza.
129* ReallyGetsAround: When he was younger he was supposedly quite TheCasanova. He grew out of it after getting someone pregnant.

152->''"Is someone in need of a doctor?!!"''
153
154Creepy and ominous in movement and appearance, Keiko is not the most fitting school doctor. Not particularly skilled socially, she loves to scare people out of their wits. She finds it hilarious, not fully registering that fear is a serious thing. Works as a doctor at the Z.P. Academy, known for being a very competent surgeon but only the academy is willing to employ her with her looks and record. She adores stuffed toys, animals and cute things, oddly caring for them and taking them more seriously than her peers.
155----
156* CreepyCute: Scissors for a hand? Check. Carved smile? Check. You'd-swear-it's-deliberate sinister nature? Check. Utterly lovable? Check.

159* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She's creepily pale.

231
232The vice principal of Z.P. Academy, Zech is the ideal leader; confident, efficient, organized and a complete mystery to the rest of the school (including the staff). Like all vice-anythings, he has far more power than the actual principal.

306* ComedicSociopath: Locking your cousin in his locker for a week just so your so-called rival forgets his anniversary with his girlfriend? That's not normal behaviour even by Zoo-Phoenix standards.

308* GreenEyedMonster: Jealous of Zill for dating Kayla, his obsessi-er, crush. To the point of attempting to engineer their breakup.

310%%* IJustWantToHaveFriends

338Considering herself an a feminist, she has little tolerance of "idiots" and would much rather hang with her own gender. She doesn't have many friends but yearns for more, if it wasn't for her prudeness repelling people like the plague.

355
356Jack has endured quite the unfortunate life. Being blessed and cursed with the power of resistance to fatalities and overall immortality, he is still tragically able to experience all the horrific pangs of pain. It doesn't help that he has bad luck too. Despite this, he is as kind-hearted and gentle as they come.

388
389Hasn't appeared in the comic yet, but has achieved a fair amount of popularity in part for being the main focus of Vivziepop's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PKNuZovuSw ''Die young - animation'']].
390----
391* BreakoutCharacter: She has made very few if any appearances in the comics themselves and yet (mostly because of the Die Young animation) she's arguably the most popular and recognizable character to be associated with it.
392* ClothingDamage: During her [[http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/895/773/9f6.png transformation sequence]].
393* FashionableAsymmetry: Her unevenly torn stockings.

396* LifeOfTheParty: Seems to be her primary trait.
397* MagicPants: Despite becoming significantly bigger in her wolf form, her clothes stretch comfortably with the transformation--the only things damaged are her shoes and (ironically) her pants.
398* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: According to the answers given on the author's blog, she turns human on the full moon and is a big blue wolf the rest of the month.
399* RedEyesTakeWarning: Too soon to tell, but they can be pretty [[http://vivzie-pop.tumblr.com/post/86883531509/this-scene-took-ages-to-ink-but-i-like-how-it jarring]].

404
405The sweetheart of the academy, Kayla is always doing her very best to maintain both a stellar report card as well as express herself in her deepest passion: theatre. Kind-hearted and clear-headed, Kayla is an inspiration to all. But don't let her seemingly soft demeanour fool you; she's a powerhouse in fencing.
406----
407* ActionGirl: She's not afraid to [[http://www.zoophobiacomic.com/Zoophobia/?p=308 get involved]]. In the "Bad Luck Jack" short, she pulls out a knife, and later kicks a monster in the head.

421%%* PluckyGirl
422* SeparatedByACommonLanguage: In the "Bad Luck Jack" short. While on a picnic with her friends, she relates a NoodleIncident while using a lot of Australian slang terms. Vanexa bluntly admits that she didn't understand a word of it.

458A real oddball with a scruffy appearance, Mackenzie is seen as a bit of a strange little girl and faces rejection by others often. Her unpredictable nature and general deviance hide the many talents and abilities she possesses. Oh, and she enjoys cats...a lot.

470* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LonersAreFreaks Loners are Freaks]] She's shown to be very introverted and outcast, though it has only been explored to an extent, and it has yet to be discussed if she's optionally isolating herself, or if she's isolated by others. See also [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold Lonely but Friendly]] since she is shown to look sad when the other students say that she doesn't look like she'd want to come with them, and therefore do not ask and leave her behind, even though she seems to have wanted to come, but she doesn't say anything, assumably feeling unwanted.

476
477A literal drama queen, or at least that's what she claims to be. Penelope is aloof and vain, as her outspoken attitude and theatrical talent lead others to believe that she is the top performer in the Z.P. Drama Class. However, with Kayla as competition, it's highly unlikely that this is the case. Penelope also harbors a prejudice against animals, but deep down has her own issues with herself to deal with.
478----

493An avid [=LARPer=], Quintin is very much a classic fantasy nerd. He loves playing role-playing games with friends but doesn't get out to much and can be shy when around people he isn't as close to. He is friendly and intelligent, being extremely skilled at mathematics and special effects animation and coding. Has an obsession with wizards and dreams of becoming one, and can do some basic spells with the help of his adopted sister Sahara. He's actually more gifted with magic than she is, but has much less practice.

508* JerkJock: He wears a classic jock jacket in the "Bad Luck Jack" short, underscoring this image.
509* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: He and Autumn interact like this at one point, which Zill lampshades by noting that they have some "tension" going on.
510* ThinSkinnedBully: In the "Bad Luck Jack" short. He relentlessly taunts Jack over his bad luck, but when Jack finally stands up to him by pointing out that he at least has friends who care about him (and calls him "Reuben" for good measure), Rusty can only stutter out a weak "shut up!" before walking off in a huff.

515
516Silly, sweet and sassy, Sahara is the tour de force in her trio of friends consisting of herself, Damian, and Addison. Belonging to a magical bloodline but unfortunately lacking in powers herself, she is often seen hopelessly tampering with the supernatural- with less than desirable results. Orphaned early in her life, she was taken in and adopted by Quintin's family, and has since been happily living as a human in a world full of anything but them.

532Bright-eyed and bushy tailed, Spam is the happiest-go-luckiest little fella you'll ever meet. He always looks on the positive side of things and enjoys the simple little splendors of life.
533----
534* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: In the short "Bad Luck Jack", he gets distracted by a bumblebee in the middle of a fight with a monster, which he's singing about.
535* CheerfulChild: Always has a smile on his face, and looks younger than most of the other characters.
536* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The "Bumblebee" song in "Bad Luck Jack" is just ''one'' example of his kookiness.
537* TheCutie: [[http://www.zoophobiacomic.com/Zoophobia/?p=217 Dawww]].

562* LatinLover: Thinks he's this. He's more of a CasanovaWannabe.

571Vivz also mentioned that he use to date Addison, but the thing didn't go well and Addi ended breaking up.

573* CrazyJealousGuy: When it comes to Addison and Gustav's blossoming relationship, he is rather clingy and possessive.
574* SiblingRivalry: Has got a bad relationship with his sister.
575* SuccubiAndIncubi: As an incubus, he is bound in his duty to collect souls. But unlike most of his kind, Tom has gotten emotionally attached to a number of intended victims. He is ashamed of this weakness. Often, when he is rejected by someone he genuinely likes, he retaliates with violent negative attention. He has killed those whom don't accept his affection.

581
582Little is known about Vanex, and she prefers to keep it that way. She's usually seen buried deep within a book or leering at by-passers. She seems to be cold and emotionless but one can only assume that deep down she has a good heart.
583----
584* AdaptationNameChange: Downplayed, but in the "Bad Luck Jack" short, her name is changed to Vanex'''a'''.
585* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Also downplayed; the short shows her regularly hanging out with Zill, Kayla, Spam and Jack, contrasting the comics version's loner mentality. She also joins the others in defending Jack from a monster.

611* CartoonCreature: Nobody knows what he is or where he came from.
612* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: Zill is a longtime friend of Jack's, but they couldn't be any more different.

639Gustav is generally very calm and collected, with highly refined and judgemental tastes. Despite his seemingly elitist and sharp attitude, he's prone to jealously quite easily.

729
730A self-proclaimed megalomaniac, he considers himself the baddest of the bad (and makes sure everyone knows it), but he's really nothing more than a pest who has a habit of popping up in places he's most unwelcome.

802->"So it sounds like The Dame is up on the surface world!! I have a hunch...follow me girls..."
803
804Manipulative and devious, Bozzwick has a tendency to act without thinking and put himself before others. Easily bored and blunt, he can also be very perverse, often causing awkward situations or toying with people's emotional states. His devilish ways cause him to be a heartbreaker on the surface world, unlike in hell where almost everyone is very crazy and loose with things. Very good at manipulating Damian's inner demon. Bozzwick has a spiteful relationship with Damian. Posing as his friend, he secretly enjoys making things hard for him or upsetting him.

819->"HOW COME I AM ONLY JUST NOW LEARNING OF THIS UNRULY DEMON STUFF?"
820
821Stern and ultra organized, Major Styx is Satan's no-nonsense right-hand man, and keeping Hell functioning in tip-top shape is his highest priority. Unfortunately for him he commonly finds himself dealing with the most insufferably chaotic of people and situations where he somehow the blame and responsibility always falls on him. Despite his sour demeanor, Styx is deep, deep, deep down caring and only wants the best for everyone he holds close to his frigid little demon heart.
822----
823* ColorContrast: Unlike the majority of Hell's demons who are usually found in varying shades of red and black, Major Styx is an eyesore of bright blue.

840
841The Lord of Darkness and Ruler of Hell himself, Lucifer attains a strict order over all in which he presides. He also intends to keep Damian, his son, in tight order so he will be fit for ruling Hell himself one day. Unfortunately, his son is less than enthusiastic about this.
842----
843* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Seems to be this as an embodiment of LawfulEvil rather than a pure EldritchAbomination.
844%%* BigRedDevil
845* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Combines this with RedEyesTakeWarning. When angery he even seems to grow ExtraEyes to emphasize this even more.
846* JerkassHasAPoint: Perhaps not "Jerkass," (though he IS Satan after all) but when he yells at Damian, Tenta and Styx about there being laws against demons in Safe Haven that could have gotten Damian killed and they didn't have his permission anyway, he's completely right.
847* LawfulEvil: Stated in-universe to be the alignment that he and the demons under his control subscribe to. [[spoiler: Shown in his anger at his son and his caretakers. One of the reasons he brings up is that there are laws against demons in Safe Haven.]]

866* HappilyMarried: Vivienne has said that she and Satan have the most stable relationship in the comic.

874
875A literal "hell machine", Tentadora was artificially created for the sole purpose of serving as a bodyguard for Damian when he was born but has since-forth adopted the role of being his 'nanny' as well. Her seductive appearance was modelled to give her the dual purpose of being a temptress on the surface world, tempting people to commit adultery and other sins to lure more souls into corruption for Hell to claim. She has fun with her task, but her true nature is far from what she seems; she is extremely silly, fun-loving and nurturing of Damian.

896* SayItWithHearts: Almost all of her dialogue is decorated with little pink hearts.
897%%* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Styx.
898* {{Sexbot}}: She was created to be a temptress who would seduce and corrupt humans so they'd be damned to hell.
