[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b88aa59b36bd8d8a9f29be8d7a5245a9.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:[[ThePollyanna "Look on the bright side!"]]]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SarahGadon; Creator/RieKugimiya (Japanese)
The eponymous character and leader of the group. A cheerful young girl with red hair and pale skin who sees the bright side to every situation. She also has a knitting hobby.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Never confirmed if she's the TokenHuman or a [[LivingToys living doll]].
* CatchPhrase: "Look on the bright side."
* CheerfulChild: She's insatiably chipper and optimistic.
* CreepyChild: In a sense, she's a 10 year old girl who has Gothic and creepy tastes and interests.
* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsey: Does this when complimented.
* TheHeart: She acts as the optimist, the peacemaker, and the voice of wisdom for her friends.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Outside of the musical episode, she, in her own words, can't carry a tune in a bucket.
* IronicName: Despite having the last name "Gloom", she's usually pretty happy.
* TheMagicTouch: Not elaborated on, and may be a coincidence, but a number of objects made by Ruby have inexplicably come to life in some way. To name few there's Mr. Buns, a snowman, and we can only assume she was the one who sewed the patchwork heart Venus swallowed.
* MeaningfulName: Rubies are usually red, so her name is likely a nod to her red hair. The "Gloom" part is more ironic, given her personality, but she wears mostly black.
* NiceGirl: She's kind and willingly helpful to all of her friends.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: It's under very rare and unique circumstances that she becomes angry, scared, or upset:
** The only times she was ever really angry was in "Bad Hare Day," after she found out Bunny was stealing from them and trying to make Doom look bad, and to a lesser degree at the end of "Gloomer Rumor," where she got exasperated when Frank and Len continued to believe she was dead.
** The only prominent times she became frightened was in "Once in a Blue Luna," where she becomes scared of the fabled Luna Monster (Scaredy even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how odd it is for ''her'' to be afraid), and the ending skit of "Ubergloom," which [[spoiler:is a nightmare of a RecursiveReality]].
** In "Hair(Less): The Musical", she is finally forlorn over [[spoiler:Skull Boy leaving the mansion]].
* PerkyGoth: Has gothic interests but is very cheerful.
* ThePollyanna: She is regarded as "The Happiest Girl in the World" for a reason. She often finds the bright side of everything, and it takes a lot to make her angry, scared, or upset.
* SkipOfInnocence: She sometimes skips about in an endearing fashion, which showcases her optimism and energy.
* ShipTease: With Skullboy. In particular the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXxanQ6Bzvw Fun with Paper]]" or "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHr8HPpiBLs You Are What You Eat]]" segments.
* TeamMom: Her positive attitude allows her to act as the voice of reason and keep her friends together when things start getting out of hand around the mansion.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: She's thoughtful, kind, and acts as the voice of reason for her friends.
* YouthfulFreckles: She possess a few of these under her eyes, although they can be a bit tricky to see.

[[folder:Doom Kitty]]
[[quoteright:252:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff0f128949a8925748035f8bc45dcf98.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:252:[[TheSpeechless *violin chord*]]]]

Ruby's black-furred pet cat who communicates solely through the sounds of violin chords. However, she's actually quite canny and is usually the first to know when something's happening around the mansion.
----
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: She's not a TalkingAnimal like Poe and Scaredy, but she's just as smart ([[StraightMan if not more so]]) than they are.
* CuteKitten: A black and absolutely adorable cat.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Has black fur and is one of the good guys.
* DeathbringerTheAdorable: Despite her malevolent-sounding name, she's actually very harmless and very cute.
* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: And the fact that her ''name'' is "Doom" should clue you in.
* HartmanHips: Yes, on a cat.
* NarrativeShapeshifting: She uses her extremely thin, flexible and strong tail to make shapes ? not strictly shapeshifting, but it does alter her appearance after a fashion. Of course, only Ruby can understand her.
* NoMouth: Her mouth is absent most of the time, only appearing when she needs to make certain expressions. This is less the case in Season 2.
* TheSpeechless: Every sound she makes is a violin chord.
* SilentSnarker[=/=]CatsAreSnarkers: The faces she makes suggests snarky thoughts.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Iris]]
[[quoteright:257:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/84ad6d2e4d90500d14c26e0b98ad7e05.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:257:[[GenkiGirl "I'm good!"]]]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/StaceyDePass; Creator/SayakaNarita (Japanese)
A cyclops girl who is Ruby's closest friend of the mansion's inhabitants. She's a thrill-seeker who always finds a way to make something fun and exciting. She likes athletics and exotic creatures.
----
* {{Catchphrase}}: "I'm good!"
* ChallengeSeeker: Always performing stunts.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Gets injured a lot while adventuring.
* CuteMonsterGirl: A cyclops who is quite adorable.
* {{Cyclops}}: Only drawn with one eye.
* TheFlapper: Iris appears as this during Poe's version of the story in "Venus de Gloomsville."
* FluffyTamer: If Squig and Venus are any indication.
* GenkiGirl: She loves adventure and rarely seems to hold still for very long.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Like Ruby, Iris is a terrible singer outside of the musical episode.
* HumanCannonball: Owns a large cannon she sometimes fires herself or others (usually without their permission) out of.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: While she isn't mean, her hyperactivity and playful nature can sometimes annoy the other housemates.
* MeaningfulName: In the anatomy of eyes, an iris can refer to the colored part surrounding the pupil. Being a cyclops, Iris's most distinctive feature is her solitary eye.
* PluckyGirl: In Ruby's own words, she has an adventurous spirit.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Misery]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/misery_4.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:''[[BornUnlucky And oh, what the heck?\\
Throw in a train wreck...]]'']]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EmilyHampshire; Creator/SaoriGoto (Japanese)
A banshee-like creature with tears constantly streaming down her face. As her name suggests, Misery is always feeling down and anticipates the worst. Well, you would too if you had her luck. In her free time, she plays with her dolls and puppets.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: She was a lot uglier in the original merchandise.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: What exactly she is is never made clear. She may be a banshee, some form of undead, a personification of misfortune, or simply an incredibly unlucky human. See OurBansheesAreLouder.
* AmusingInjuries: Misery is regularly hit by lightning, only to say "ow" and come back 10 seconds later in perfect shape (although sometimes she ends up badly singed and almost hairless).
* BeautifulSingingVoice: [[spoiler: When she's asleep. When she sleepwalks around the house singing in Unsung Hero, Frank, Len and Ruby all note her sleep-singing as being lovely, and decide she'd be perfect for the upcoming Gloomapalooza performance.]]
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Has a large family who all have the same knack for bad luck. They usually avoid each other but when they have their family reunion in one episode, Ruby does too good of a job helping them get along that they decide to stay. They only leave again when their combined bad luck almost destroys the town with a volcano.
* BornUnlucky: Both figuratively and literally. The world always had it out for her family, and she's no different.
* BreakoutCharacter: A popular character among fans of the show.
* ButtMonkey: Misery frequently gets struck with various disasters wherever she goes.
* CannotConveySarcasm: Never comes up on the show, but with her deadpan voice it's sometimes hard to tell whether she's being sarcastic or sincere.
* CatchPhrase: "Ow." and "Oops."
* TheChewToy: All the stuff that happens to her is played for comedy, and she rarely seems to mind.
* ChewingTheScenery: Emily Hampshire occasionally gets really hammy in her role as Misery:
-->"I'm also the Queen of Disasters, by the way. And the Princess. And the Baroness! '''And the Countess! And the ''Vis''countess! THE EMPRESS!!"'''
-->[[PlagueOfGoodFortune "OOOHHH, I’M LIKE A WALKING, TALKING GOOD LUCK CHARM!!!"]]
* CompositeCharacter: She appears to be a mix of Jealousy and the original Misery from the books.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Usually her misfortune is just bad luck, but sometimes it's due to her own clumsiness, or a combination of both.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite her bleak looking appearance, she's actually [[NiceGirl a decent and sensible person]].
* TheEeyore: A polar opposite of Ruby and Iris, she is a frequent frowner and downer. Luckily, she powers through her misfortunes and hardly drags her friends down with her.
* ElegantGothicLolita: Dresses in this manner.
* HappyRain: By "Sunny Daze", she seems to like rain. Oddly, the first episode depicts her as hating rain, since she's genetically prone to being struck by lightning. Ruby points out that bad things happen to her even when it doesn't rain, and advises her to use the rain to wash out hair tangles, which Misery agrees to. Perhaps it was EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, or maybe she was ConditionedToAcceptHorror (she is regularly thunderstruck even when it's not raining).
* HeadDesk: Does this with a wall at least twice. Both involving her relatives visiting and bringing disaster with them. Says this:
--> ''"[[MadnessMantra Family visits are always fun... Familiy visits are always fun... family visits...]]"''
* HerCodenameWasMarySue: In her shadow puppet shows where she makes herself a queen.
* HereditaryCurse: Apparently the cause of her bad luck, particularly being a lightning rod:
-->''"It's genetic. The electrical current is drawn to the high lead content in our blood, and then [[BoltOfDivineRetribution BOOM!]] ...people use you to charge their batteries."''
* HiddenDepths: Is an excellent singer whenever she's asleep.
* IronButtMonkey: Lightning hits Misery so often that it's become a defining character trait. Aside from the blackened clothes, it seems to be nothing more than a minor inconvenience to her.
* LethalChef: "It's an old family recipe. I've adjusted it to reduce the damage to the dwelling."
* MeaningfulName: Her entire life is filled with bad luck and hardship, hence the name "Misery".
* OcularGushers: Played with. She always has tears running from her eyes whether she's sad or not.
* OneWomanWail: "Unsung Hero" shows that her singing is a very noisy wail[[spoiler:, but she sings very beautifully in her sleep, and "Hair(Less) The Musical" shows that she's capable of singing while awake, too]].
* OurBansheesAreLouder: Misery and her [[OneGenderRace exclusively female relatives]] appear to be banshees. And her wail sure is terrifying enough.
* ThePigPen: Though she doesn't look it. In "Forget Me Not" she has a bath and apparently her last one was so long ago she forgot what it was like.
* PlagueOfGoodFortune: Every Friday the 13th everyone in Misery's family has extraordinarily good luck and their normally extraordinarily bad luck is spread to those around them.
* ScaryTeeth: Her teeth are crooked with a yellowish tint.
* ShockAndAwe: If there is a list of all the mishaps she endured, and how often each one happens to her, lightning strikes are likely on top of that list. She seems to avert this every Friday the 13th.
* SignatureLaugh: A soft giggle, on the rare occasion that she's happy.
* {{Sleepwalking}}: "Unsung Hero" reveals [[spoiler:that not only does Misery walk in her sleep, but her singing changes from a noisy OneWomanWail to rather beautiful.]]
* SneezeOfDoom: She is prone to these. She can sneeze hard enough to ''de-rail a train''.
* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Interestingly inverted, as she becomes a PlagueOfGoodFortune on Friday the 13th to the point that lightning avoids her. She's so annoyed by this that, when the day ends, she is relived to get her bad luck again.
* VagueAge: Looks, sounds, and generally acts like a teenager, and for all we known she might be her species' equivalent to one, but she's occasionally implied to have been around for considerably longer.
* WalkingDisasterArea[=/=]WalkingWasteland: Mirrors crack when she looks into them, walls crack as she walks by, etc. Almost everywhere she goes ends up damaged.
-->''"I like to think of everyday as the third day of the rest of my life. I always like to leave the first and second open for damage and repair."''
* WhenSheSmiles: It's rare, but hearts will melt at the elusive sight of Misery happy for a change, wherein she tends to make her [[SignatureLaugh characteristic giggle]].

[[folder:Skull Boy]]
[[quoteright:243:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/66a5f2a895f8b17f2d930f77e09aba8a.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:243:"I'm an ''artist'', Ruby! It's [[IncrediblyLamePun in my bones!]]"]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ScottMcCord; Creator/HirokiTakahashi (Japanese)
A skeleton with numerous talents. He is determined to find out what he is best in, usually by tracing his ancestry to find past family members with similar talents to his. Ruby has a crush on him.
----
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In the books he was a shy human boy who wore a skull to hide his face.
* BunglingInventor: He builds a lot of devices for many purposes, although their level of success tends to vary.
* ChildProdigy: He shows great aptitude for most of the fields he pursues, and often builds complex contraptions. In one episode, he even builds a ''working TimeMachine!''
* DemBones: A skeleton.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: All he wants is to find what he's important for. A musical episode focused on him leaving Gloomsville to find his origin.
* EmoTeen: Even if he doesn't have the attitude ([[{{Wangst}} Debatable]]) he ''definitely'' dresses the part.
* FriendlySkeleton: Much like the rest of the main cast he is very kind.
* GeneHunting: He tries to find out who his family was, and where we came from.
* JackOfAllTrades: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in a way. He is so curious about where he came from, he's devoted himself in trying out different talents and careers whenever the plot of the episode demands it. We could list them all if we wanted to.
* LamarckWasRight: Basically his entire philosophy.
* MadLibsCatchphrase: "I must be related to a long line of [insert profession here]!"
* NiceGuy: Second only to Ruby as the show's nicest character.
* ShipTease: With Ruby. He is not even remotely subtle about this. Ruby is even less so.

[[folder:Frank & Len]]
[[quoteright:233:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5fe91d87cab51225c7423d0272d2556c.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:233:"Frank, you go, I'll stay."\\
"Len, that doesn't make any sense. I'm older."]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidBerni (Frank) and Jeremy Harris (Len)
A two-headed creature resembling FrankensteinsMonster. Neither of them are especially bright but both are fantastic rock musicians. Frank is the blue one on the left, Len is the green one on the right.
----
* AloofBigBrother: Frank ''sees'' himself as this, at least.
* BandOfRelatives: They perform together in a band called RIP as the only permanent members.
* BigEater: Their appetites are limitless.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Len is the Boke and Frank tends to be the Tsukkomi, although Frank is only smart relative to Len and can sometimes be pretty dim himself, thereby subverting this.
* CatchPhrase: Frank has "You're just not getting it, Len."
* CloudCuckooLander: Len
* ConjoinedTwins: Well, conjoined brothers, at any rate. Since they're visibly not identical, they were probably put together at a later time.
* CoordinatedClothes: They have to wear the same main articles of clothing, and Ruby makes them a half-and-half suit at one point.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Frank is either far smarter than Len and is the one who scoffs at Len's ditzy moments, or is just as stupid as his brother.
* FrankensteinMonster: They are visibly sewn together down the center.
* GeniusDitz: They are incredible singers, guitar players, and songwriters. They also once tried to use their guitar as a surfboard. [[EpicFail It ended about as well as you'd expect]].
* {{Guyliner}}: Len.
* ImpracticalMusicalInstrumentSkills: They have to work together to play their guitar, with Len manning the neck of the guitar and Frank strumming. They also like to play it behind their heads.
* MixAndMatchMan: Implied since they have stitching running down their chest and both halves have different skin colors.
* MultipleHeadCase: A two-headed monster.
* RedOniBlueOni: While Len has green skin, he seems to have red oni tendencies... but Frank is blue oni through and through.
* SecretKeeper: In "Quadrogloomia", they learn that Ruby has a crush on Skull Boy.
* ShipperOnDeck: The episode "Quadrogloomia" suggests they might be this for Skull Boy and Ruby.
* SiblingSenioritySquabble: Taken farther than usual-- Frank has claimed to be older, [[MultipleHeadCase but...]]
* SiblingTeam: They are both members of a band called RIP, working together to write songs and play their guitar.
* ThemeTwinNaming: Combined, their names are eerily similar to "Franklin"
* ThePowerOfRock: They can cook beans with it.
* ThisIsMySide: In "Frank and Len Unplugged". This didn't work, for obvious reasons.
* ThoseTwoGuys: There's literally no way to see them apart, since they ''are'' a two-headed monster.

[[folder:Mr. Buns]]
[[quoteright:244:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c1496f8a0ab050c40bd29cd88183a49d.jpg]]

A stuffed rabbit Ruby knitted together herself. While he seems to be not much more than a plush toy, most of the other characters treat him as if he were alive, and there are a few hints that they might be right.
----
* BigEater: He's often seen next to empty trays of food or [[{{Pun}} stuffed]] to bursting.
* BunniesForCuteness: A rabbit plush toy.
* CompanionCube: A rabbit toy and friend of the main characters.
* LivingToys: Mr. Buns is a strange example. The other characters treat him as if he's alive ([[ArbitrarySkepticism except for Misery]]), and he seems to do things when he's not on-screen... but whenever he's on-screen, he's just a lifeless sock-bunny. In the most extreme case, he's fencing with Poe from just off-screen, only for the sword to drop the moment he's visible in the frame.
* OffscreenTeleportation: See above.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Poe]]
[[quoteright:259:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0142a6043d2dc1de4a6addaf766eecf0.png]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AdrianTruss; Creator/AtsushiOno (Japanese)
A sophisticated raven who lives in an attached addition to the mansion. As a true gentleman, Poe believes himself to be a model to the rest of the mansion, although he can sometimes cross over into being a SmallNameBigEgo.
----
* CleverCrows: He and his brothers are ravens and himself is a wise raven, good guy and a loyal friend, although he is usually somewhat selfish and {{Jerkass}} (sometimes) due to his big ego.
* CreepyCrows: He and his brothers fit in with the show's dark setting, but they're [[DarkIsNotEvil not really all that bad]].
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: He wears only a dark purple cape with a white dickey with a red bow, he wears a top hat with a navy blue ribbon, he also wears white gloves and he wears spats on his bare feet, but he no wears pants.
* HighClassGlass: He wears a monocle in attempts to seem sophisticated.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be arrogant and pretentious, but he's a good guy and a loyal friend.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: He doesn't know as much as he says he does.
* TheMunchausen: He is always yammering about how he's been in bands and had amazing adventures.
* OldWindbag: A good way to put someone to sleep is to get him talking.
* ShoutOut:
** Take a wild [[Creator/EdgarAllanPoe guess!]]
** As well as occasional ones to [[ParentalBonus Gilbert]] [[Creator/GilbertAndSullivan and Sullivan.]]
* ShoutOutThemeNaming: See the above.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Poe is quite egotistical.
* TalkingAnimal: A talking raven.
* TokenAdult: The only member of the main cast who's unambiguously an adult.
* ToothyBird: Sometimes drawn with teeth.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Scaredy Bat]]
[[quoteright:208:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c5c4413759b3c5ef9154b213b2d65a5d.png]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PeterKeleghan; Creator/YukiKaji (Japanese)
An Indian-accented bat who is afraid of virtually everything, including flying and the dark. Unfortunately for him, he's also a favourite target for pranks by some of the mansion's inhabitants.
----
* AcrophobicBird: He's a bat, but he is afraid of flying nonetheless.
* BigNo: He does this every once in a while.
* BollywoodNerd: Well, he's certainly got the right accent...
* ButtMonkey: Lots of bad things happen to him.
* CuteLittleFangs: Scaredy has noticeable fangs, but they are small and cute.
* HiddenDepths: Is gifted at playing drums and the accordion.
* IronicFear: He's a bat that's afraid of heights and the dark.
* LargeHam: At times he can be one.
* LovableCoward: Why do you think he's called "Scaredy Bat"?
* PuppyDogEyes: His eyes are constantly drawn this way.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter
* ShrinkingViolet: Sort of...
* TalkingAnimal: A talking bat.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Very often seen eating mosquitoes out of a bag.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Boo Boo]]
[[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/58a7f6726266e7625046c36c8fddd8c8.png]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BarbaraMamabolo; Kazuko Kojima (Japanese)
A young ghost who is trying to prove himself to a ghost gang that he can haunt and scare just as well as they can. He loves to make mischief, with his favourite target being Scaredy Bat.
----
* BerserkButton: He hates being called "cute."
* InvisibleToNormals: At first, only cats, psychics and crazy street preachers could see him. He had to successfully scare someone in order to be visible.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: He had to earn his intangibility and visibility to living people.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he loves to scare people, he's generally a decent guy.
* ThePrankster: He loves pranking everyone. Especially Scaredy.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Much to his chagrin.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: He aspires to be one...
** NightmareRetardant: ...with little success.
[[/folder]]

!!Minor Characters
[[folder:Edgar and Allan]]
A pair of large crows who are Poe’s brothers, they hang out with him on occasion.
----
* TheBigGuy: They both share this.
** BigGuyLittleGuy: Both have this dynamic with Poe.
* DumbMuscle: They both seem to be this since they took Skull Boy seriously when he told them to lock him up. They also didn't slow down when flying towards the glass house.
* FatAndSkinny: And this dynamic with each other
* FlatCharacter: They rarely do anything and mostly just exist to complete the "Edgar Allen Poe" name pun.
* HighClassGlass: They both wear monocles to uphold a sophicated look.
* SatelliteCharacter: They are practically never seen outside of Poe's presence.
* SilentSnarker: Will often exchange looks or roll their eyes in reaction to something Poe says.
* TheSpeechless: They never say a word.

* {{Evil Mentor}}s: To Boo Boo in regards to scaring.
%%* TheHyena: …when laughing.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: They are gruff and quite menacing ghosts who specialize in scaring others, but they aren't actually intentionally mean at all and can be quite friendly.
* TheMafia: They act like mafiosos.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted.
%%* OurGhostsAreDifferent
* PocketDimension: They seem to reside in one that only Boo Boo can get to. Though they also let Skull Boy in once to give him some encouragement.
* SinisterShades: Both of them wear pairs of glasses that give off this vibe.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Pretty much unheard of to see them not together.
* TookALevelInKindness: Initially they were dismissive of Boo Boo’s friends, even thinking them a bad influence on Boo Boo. Later on however they seem to have considerably warmed up to everyone, doing things like making Scaredy pasta and giving Skullboy important advice.
[[/folder]]


[[folder:Squig]]
A giant bug who Iris made into her pet while on a fishing trip.
----
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Squig is a gigantic bug.
* GentleGiant: A big bug with a big heart.
* GiantFlyer: Iris uses him as transport.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Venus]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/StephanieAnneMills
A venus flytrap Iris brought to life as her project for the Gloomsville Fair. She later became another pet for Iris, even gaining a voice as time went on.
----
* JustAStupidAccent: She speaks with a French accent due to the record Iris used to teach her to speak was dictated by a French man.
* ManEatingPlant: Although she doesn't eat people.
* MeaningfulName: Partly overlaps with ADogNamedDog given the kind of plant she is, Venus is also the name of the Roman goddess of love, and she's shown to be a hopeless romantic in the episode "Venus de Gloomsville"
* PastimesProvePersonality: She's a writer.
* TookALevelInKindness: After eating a heart that [[ItMakesSenseInContext Skull Boy made for his robot dad]], she went from an amoral eating machine to a sweet and friendly plant.
[[/folder]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DerekMcGrath
An old man with a penchant for the dramatic who debuted in the episode "Poe-ranoia".

* CoolOldGuy: An eccentric and friendly old man who likes making others happy.
* HeadPet: His pet frog, Socrates.
* MadScientist: He has the mannerisms of one, but he's a nice guy.
* MistakenForMurderer: By Poe in his debut episode.
* {{Scotireland}}: He has this type of accent.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Misery's Family]]
Misery's family. Their names are Morose, Migraine, Mildew, Malady, Mayhem, Malaise, Motley, Mopey, and the triplets Myopia, Malice, and Misbegotten
----
* AlliterativeFamily: All their names start with "M".
* AllJustADream: It's speculated that [[spoiler:a few of the Misery relatives that appeared in the reunion episode might have been figments of her own imagination.]]
* AnIcePerson: Two, actually. Malady and Malaise will cause a localized ice age if they stay close for too long. It's a reason why Misery always tries to keep them as far apart as possible, to the point that she refuses to invite them both at the same time.
* AsianSpeekeeEngrish: Mildew.
* BigWhy: Morose is prone to doing this.
* CatchPhrase:
** Morose has [[BigWhy "Why? WHY?!"]]
** Migraine has "I'm queen of the world!"
** Mildew has [[ConfucianConfusion "Confusion say..."]]
** Malady has "It's a scrape. I'll be fine."
* CheerfulChild: The triplets, ironic considering the rest of the family.
* CrushingHandshake: Mayhem.
* DoomMagnet: All of them seem to be connected to some sort of disaster throughout history.
** Malady and Malaise, are, in Misery's words, "cold". She was shocked when she learned that Ruby invited ''both'' cousins to visit at the same time (''"Together. As a Duo"''), but the latter learned of the reason the hard way: they can cause an equivalent to an ice age in moments when in close proximity for an extended period of time. She and her friends were prepared to keep them separated when they visited a second time for a ''larger'' family reunion.
* EmoTeen: Morose. [[BigWhy "Why? WHY?!"]]
* {{Geisha}}: Mildew.
* HulkSpeak: Mayhem.
* IronButtMonkey: Nearly all of them. For all of the disasters they've been through, it's a wonder they're even alive at all!
* LargeHam: Migraine. "I'M QUEEN OF THE WORLD!!!"
* MadLibsCatchphrase: Mildew's "Confusion say..."
** "...Girl who think she too good for bed of nails, not too good for bed of nails."
** "...Guests who overstay welcome, cause too much bodily harm. And get lawsuits."
* MeaningfulName: Malady (she's always sick) and Malaise (she's always sleepy due to her narcolepsy). Mayhem also counts since she causes mayhem wherever she goes, and Migraine due to her frequent shouting (which're bound to cause what she's named for) .
