This is the character sheet for ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'', the "UltimateUniverse" extension of the {{Walkyverse}}. ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' has its own character sheet, with ''Webcomic/RoomiesItsWalkyJoyceAndWalky'' still requiring one. Please do not confuse the two, as there are serious {{Alternate Character Interpretation}}s stemming from the difference in continuities.

Because of the large EnsembleCast and SwitchingPOV, characters are listed in alphabetical order.

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Main Characters]]

!!Amber O'Malley
* CharacterDevelopment: Stood by Ethan while he came out, and evidently matured a great deal from the process.
* DeathGlare: Gives an epic one to [[spoiler:Ethan]] upon finding him at Galasso's [[spoiler:hooked up with Joyce.]]
* GamerChick: ''WorldOfWarcraft'', specifically. Also a Computer Science major. And has a NintendoDS.
** WordOfGod is that it's some sort of BlandNameProduct for WOW, as Willis hasn't played it enough to do an accurate parody.
* IncompatibleOrientation: With Ethan.
* LastHetRomance: Was Ethan's.
* LovesMyAlterEgo: Now in a TwoPersonLoveTriangle with Danny.

!!Jennifer "Billie" Billingsworth
* TheAlcoholic
---> Billie: Sal. Yeah, it's one in the afternoon and I'm '''drinking'''. Fuckin' '''surprise'''.
---> Sal: It's not a surprise. Alcoholism is yer '''definin' characteristic'''.
* AlphaBitch: Her position in HighSchool.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: An ongoing theme of her adventures.
* BiTheWay: Drunkenly hits on Sal.
* BigBeautifulWoman: Despite putting on pounds since high school, Billie is still considered attractive.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Claims her dad showers her with money because he doesn't know how to show affection.
* BreakTheHaughty: Almost every strip she's been in involves this.
* ButtMonkey
* ClosetGeek: For all her hatred of [[CatchPhrase NERDS]] Billie uses a lot of phrases like [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2012/comic/book-2/05-saturdays-all-right-for-slighting/size/ "life-force"]] in casual conversation...
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Being pegged ''by the staff of Indiana University'' as an alcoholic.
* FallenPrincess
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Went from AlphaBitch to ButtMonkey simply by graduating. Has slowly begun to realize this and the results are not pretty.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Talks a good game about not wanting to be friends with the rest of the cast but still spends all her time with them, helps set-up Walky with Dorothy, looks out for Joyce and even showed concern for Ruth, her tormentor [[spoiler:and confused love interest]]. She also tries to pay off Raidah after Sarah hits her without much success.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Dorothy described Billie and Walky this way early on in the strip. [[RedEyesTakeWarning Billie was unamused]].
** LikeBrotherAndSister: Their actual relationship, vouched by them both.
** VitriolicBestBuds: This too.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Walky bestowed it on her during their childhood, in retaliation for her calling him "Walky," and evidently it's just stuck.
* RaceLift: In [[Webcomic/RoomiesItsWalkyJoyceAndWalky mainline continuity]], Billie was just white, but apparently Willis got asked enough if she was Asian during its run that he decided to make her half-Asian here.
* SelectiveObliviousness: The only way she's managed to avoid a HeroicBSOD thus far.
* WeightWoe: Has put on a few pounds, probably due to all the drinking and stress.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Early on she did not pick up on the fact that she wasn't in High School.
** Some people have commented that she seems to think she's in a 1980s TeenMovie (as the ''villain'', oddly enough).

!!Danny Wilcox
* AboveTheInfluence: To Joe's disgust.
* ButtMonkey
* HasAType: After being dumped by Dorothy, he immediately goes for Amber.
* NiceGuy
* JamesBondage: Has to be rescued from a bunch of {{Jerk Jock}}s, including Beef, by Amazi-Girl.
* ThePowerOfLove: Subverted.
-->'''Danny:''' ''I'M SORRY FOR THINKING LOVE WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN STUPID YALE!!''
* RescueRomance: His relationship with Amazi-Girl started as a result of this.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Dorothy dumps him because she's afraid he's going to turn himself into her SatelliteCharacter.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Has a one sided version of this with Walky.
* TwoPersonLoveTriangle: With Amber / Amazi-Girl.
* WillNotTellALie

!!Dina Saruyama
* {{Adorkable}}
* AmbiguousDisorder: Many fans have speculated that Dina could be on the Autism spectrum. Willis own ShrugOfGod on this hasn't exactly helped.
* AscendedExtra: She's seen in the background of a number of panels before she's formally introduced. Readers of ''It's Walky'' picked her out immediately, of course, but to newcomers she would seem to have evolved out of the woodwork.
* BeneathNotice: Often finds herself trapped between the door and the wall of the room she shares with Amber.
* BerserkButton: For as angry as she can get, anyway. Just don't question the existence or nature of dinosaurs around her. And with recent events, deny the Theory of Evolution.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs
* MeaningfulName: '''''Dina Sar'''''uyama.
* NoSocialSkills
-->"I've never been able to understand people. But dinosaurs are extinct. They're fixed in time, letting me learn about them without them changing constantly before my eyes."
* IconicItem: Her NiceHat. {{Defictionalized}}.
* ShrinkingViolet
* TagalongKid: Takes this role in a lot of social groups. By which we mean that the social groups accidentally pick her up and carry her along.
* UnfazedEveryman

!!Dorothy Keener
* AmbitionIsEvil: Subverted. Dorothy plans to be President of the United States, and the strip doesn't judge her for that.
* HollywoodAtheist: Downplayed if not flat out Averted.
* IntrepidReporter
* IJustWantToHaveFriends, NotSoAboveItAll: To a much lesser extent than some of the other characters here, but she keeps finding herself distracted from her pre-law studies by, well, having a social life.
* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]
* UptightLovesWild: Her romance with Walky is a subdued version.
* WeaknessTurnsHerOn: Despite at times being embarrassed by him, Dorothy [[ParentingTheHusband definitely enjoys Walky's juvenile and submissive personality]]. The feeling goes both ways...

!!Ethan Siegel
* ComingOutStory: Part of this comic's BackStory, since it was an active plotline in ''Shortpacked!'' Evidently it happened at prom. [[TheirFirstTime In a hotel room that he had booked for himself and Amber]].
* {{Gayngst}}
* IncompatibleOrientation: To Amber. Now also to Joyce, although they are still together anyway because they are both uncomfortable with their own sexuality and have a strong emotional connection...
* NiceGuy
* StraightGay

!!Joe Rosenthal
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Knows a ''lot'' about the opposite sex. Not as knowledgeable about much else.
* EthicalSlut: A lot less pushy than his mainverse counterpart was at that age.
* ItsAllAboutMe
* KavorkaMan

!!Joyce Brown
* {{Adorkable}}
* AmbiguouslyBi
* BerserkButton: The fact that AllMenArePerverts.
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* ClingyJealousGirl: Joyce started [[HoYay having overtones of this]] when Dorothy began dating Walky, something that has not gone [[ShipTease unnoticed by the fans.]]
** Or [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2012/comic/book-2/04-time-keeps-on-slippin/halfway/ by Walky]].
* CloudCuckoolander: Despite being the best-socialized member of her home-school group. She at least isn't one of the "NoSocialSkills" characters.
* DressesTheSame
-->'''Dorothy:''' I'm going to go change.\\
'''Joyce''' No no no this is ''awesome.''
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her best friend Becky's last words to her she heads out with Joyce's parents: "[[StaticCharacter Just don't let anyone change you, okay?]]"
* TheFundamentalist
* IncompatibleOrientation: With her current boyfriend Ethan. Although now they both know it and are together anyway because they are both uncomfortable with their own sexuality...
* InnocentBlueEyes: Joyce is the only character in the entire WalkyVerse to be drawn with colored eyes instead of just black dots.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends, IJustWantToBeLoved
* InnocentBigot: Like the best examples of the trope, when others call her on her UnfortunateImplications, she ''listens'' and [[CharacterDevelopment tries to adjust herself]].
* InUniverseNickname: "Pre-marital hanky-panky" for, you know, fornication. Shared with her mainline-universe counterpart. (Plural? "[[WordOfGod Pre-marital hankies-panky]]"!)
* MoralityPet: To Sarah and Sal.
* OddFriendship: Has quite a lot of them, reminiscent of her role as TheHeart in ''It's Walky!'' It also makes her the closest thing ''[=DoA=]'' has to a main character.
* ThePollyanna
* SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny: [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2012/comic/book-2/06-strange-beerfellows/know-2/ No, seriously]]. Combines with the DateRapeAverted to create a ParalyzingFearOfSexuality--not to mention a NightmareSequence.
** And to repeat: she's ''still'' more stable than her mainline-canon version. In her first chronological appearance [[http://www.bringbackroomies.com/comic/college-ho-page-4/ in Roomies!]], she freaks out at the sight of the [[http://www.bloomingpedia.org/wiki/Showalter_Fountain Showalter Fountain]]. Here in [=DoA=] she [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/02-uphill-from-here/stupid/ walks by it without even an eyelid twitch]].
** Willis lampshaded the MindScrew with a poll about Joyce's dream in which the only possible response was a FlatWhat Not that any other choices were really necessary.
* SheCleansUpNicely
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Is explicitly attending college to get her MRS degree.

!!Mike Warner
* LighterAndSofter: While he still goes out of his way to say things in the most negative way possible, he is far more involved in the emotional affairs of other characters, and his Heart Of Gold is fairly plain to see.
* JerkAss
* ToughLove

!!Ruth Lessick
* AxCrazy
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* MeaningfulName:
-->'''Dina:''' Ruth Lessick? Is that why you nicknamed her "Ruthless?"\\
'''Mandy:''' Sshh I want to [[CallBack keep my femurs]]!
* HiddenDepths:
** DisappearedDad: He's dead.
* PetTheDog: Helped Dorothy figure out what to do about Danny.
* NotSoDifferent: To Billie, a semi-alcoholic girl with daddy issues and a willingness to use force to get her way.
* OddFriendship: Showed signs of developing one with Billie. [[spoiler: Possibly torpedoed after punching and kissing her.]]
* RefugeInAudacity
* {{Tsundere}}: [[spoiler: Towards Billie, to the point of being outright abusive.]]
** Deconstructed: [[spoiler: Ruth behaves this way because she has anti-social tendencies and a bad home life. Billie confronts Ruth demanding to know what their relationship is, after weeks of Ruth alternating between (awkward) displays of affection and bullying. When Ruth suddenly kisses her during all of this, she tells her to fuck off and runs away. Billie is very confused and hurt by whatever attraction she does feel. It's still played for comedy, but the situation is acknowledged by Willis as unhealthy and just wrong.]]
* {{Yandere}}: And not just towards love interests [[spoiler: like Billie]], ''towards everybody''. (See AxCrazy.)

!!Sal Walkerton
* AmbiguouslyBrown: half African-American father, Caucasian mother.
* CoolBike
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Held up two convenience stores as a teenager, and was sent away to a Catholic boarding school in Tennessee. Walky claims he has barely spoken to her in five years.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer
* PolarOppositeTwins: With Walky.
* RapunzelHair: and Joyce likes it a little ''too'' much.
* SiblingRivalry: With Walky.
* StealthHiBye
* TheUnfavorite: Perhaps understandably, considering her track record, but she just as understandably resents it.

!!Sarah Clinton
* BeingGoodSucks
* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: With Joyce.
* BrokenBird
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Got her very-popular freshman-year roommate [[SecondhandStorytelling Dana]] pulled out of school after she went on a [[MissingMom death-of-mother]]-fueled drug binge, endangering both her health and Sarah's ability to maintain her scholarships.
** IDidWhatIHadToDo: And it should be pointed out that, by and large, the fandom is on her side here. But since Dana was a StepfordSmiler and none of her friends caught on, ''they'' all consider Sarah to have crossed the MoralEventHorizon.
* JadeColoredGlasses
-->"So you already know I'm a '''[[BoldInflation bitchy killjoy misanthrope]].'''"
* JerkAss -> DefrostingIceQueen -> JerkWithAHeartOfGold -> CharacterDevelopment -> AntiHero

!!David "Walky" Walkerton
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Like his sister, he has a half African-American father and a Caucasian mother.
* BeautifulAllAlong: Joyce is impressed by what she sees during his ShirtlessScene.
* BrilliantButLazy
* CloudCuckoolander
* DemotedToExtra: Emphasis on the "demoted", since his mainline counterpart was the star of a good ten years of continuity, whereas he gets fourth billing--if that--here at college.
* GeekyTurnOn: Dorothy's love of the ''Dexter & Monkey Master'' cartoon acts as this on him.
* HollywoodAtheist: Played for laughs.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: {{invoked}} [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/02-uphill-from-here/dexter/ here]]. Early on in the series it was a running gag for Walky to have some variant of that face whenever Dorothy was in the same room.
* ManChild
-->'''Dorothy:''' Um, Leslie, a boy just threw a toy at my head.\\
'''Leslie:''' It's probably because he likes you.\\
'''Walky:''' *{{crush blush}}*
* ObfuscatingStupidity
* OddFriendship: With Joyce. It's also of the oddest ones she's developed because on the surface they have nothing in common, and deep down they... still have nothing in common. The basis of their friendship, at this point, is simply that they have the same lunch gap between the same two classes. This is particularly amusing because in mainline continuity, they're THE OfficialCouple.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname
* ParentingTheHusband: Although unmarried, Walky [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2012/comic/book-2/05-saturdays-all-right-for-slighting/moms/ invoked this trope when he temporarily broke up with Dorothy]]. But despite his resentment early on, Walky [[ManChild doesn't really want to "grow up"]] and likes how dominant Dorothy is in the relationship...

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Secondary Characters]]
!!Amazi-Girl
* GamerGirl: owns a NintendoDS. The exact same one Amber owns, interestingly enough...
* MistakenIdentity: Invoked. Danny immediately becomes attracted to Amber when he first meets her. However, Amazi-Girl is depicted in such a way that she could have a lot of hair, and her ''modus operandi'' is very similar to that of {{Batman}}. You know who else resembles Batman? ''Sal'', who was Danny's FirstLove in ''Roomies!''. There's a reason the Fan Catch Phrase for the Walkyverse is "Damn you, Willis!!"
** Billie has since cottoned on to the idea that Sal might be Amazi-girl. Judging by [[KnowNothingKnowItAll Billie's track record]], this is probably proof-positive that Sal is no such thing.

!!Daisy
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Is a lesbian.
* YouNeedToGetLaid

!!Leslie
* CoolTeacher

!!Marcie
* CuteMute
* SignedLanguage
* SilentSnarker
* TheSpeechless

!!Roz [=DeSanto=]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Handing out prophylactics. Just after having casual sex with Joe.
* EthicalSlut: In her own mind.
* TheMatchmaker: Trying to set up Robin and Leslie.
* NotSoDifferent: with her older sister, Congresswoman Robin [=DeSanto=].
* SiblingRivalry

!!Raidah
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Calls out Char for mocking Dina for her (perceived) mental retardation.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Shows UndyingLoyalty to Dana.
* NoPronunciationGuide: Averted. Joyce enunciates "''Rah''-ee-dah" for Billie's benefit.

!!Sierra
* CloudCuckoolander: Of the "space cadet" variety, contrasting with her roommate Dorothy.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: When questioned, Sierra figures she hasn't worn shoes since sixth grade.
