Birdteam
Judy Ken Sebben
Phil Ken Sebben's reckless daughter and Birdgirl. She inherits his company Sebben & Sebben after he dies.
- Beneath the Mask: At first it seems that Judy lives and breathes for her work as her Birdgirl alter ego but it becomes clear that she actually has several emotional hang ups, both as herself and in regards to being Birdgirl.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: She's actually really good at the hero thing as Birdgirl even if she is a bit over the top about it.
- Cassandra Truth: It takes her a good while for her to believe her father is dead.
- Distracted by the Sexy: She can't apprehend Kaptain Khaos because he happens to be hot, though she chooses her soon-to-be-fried-alive friends over him.
- Extreme Doormat: She's too nice to her company's workers that she's incapable of firing anyone even if it means the company may go under.
- Have I Mentioned I Am Sexually Active Today?: Whenever her libido is at an all-time high, it actually flees from her body as a little caricature version of herself that pretty much goes for any male it looks at first.
- Hilariously Abusive Childhood: She was too dumb to notice how emotionally abusive Phil was to her because she was too much of a pollyanna to notice.
- Large Ham: Whenever Judy changes to Birdgirl. She even uses this persona to highlight Judy's insecurities.Birdgirl: YOU'RREEE WELCOMMMMEE!!!
- The Pollyanna: As a child, she wasn't exactly raised right by Phil the madman. This seems to have carried over to her adulthood, because she still recalls her strange childhood very fondly, and she somehow hadn't made the connection that her favorite toy was a sex toy until after it began selling to its real demographic.
- Split Personality: Possibly. "Pilot" heavily hints that there's a genuine divide between who Judy and Birdgirl are, given Meredith uses her powers to switch the personas around and Judy actually talks with her Birdgirl self with full awareness by putting on and taking off the mask. At the same time Meredith claims she was invoking the Placebo Effect so it's unclear if this is the case. According to Paget Brewster, the production team suggested to play this trope by making her do her lines that suggests that Judy is a sane person, but goes Large Ham when she changes to her Birdgirl costume.
- "Well Done, Daughter!" Gal: Judy became Birdgirl in the first place because it was the only way to get any attention from her neglectful father and became more and more subsumed by her alter ego because she got addicted to his approval of her other persona. She's devastated to discover that Phil appointed Birdgirl as CEO instead of herself as Judy because of this.
Meredith
General manager and Best Friend to Judy. AKA the Mindtaker.
- A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: "Fli on Your Own Supply" involves her stress-relieving creation to help disgruntled employees think positively from bad thoughts. The system becomes over saturated with negativity that she chooses to redirect them to her mind to keep the system working, but it slowly breaks her until she has to call Judy for help.
- Best Friend: Throughout the show, Meredith helps Judy find a way to properly grieve for Phil after she was told he died.
- Muscles Are Meaningless: Out of the whole team, she doesn't need muscles to hold the whole team from being sucked into a black hole when she can hold them all with two fingers.
- No Sense of Personal Space: She can force her mind-reading abilities if she wants to, though she only does so when absolutely necessary.
- Only Sane Woman:
- In the Sebben and Sebben company, she comes off as being sane to criticize Judy directly thanks to her decision to grant Brian the go ahead to use his Calypsis toilet as Birdgirl.
- In "ShareBear", it turns out she approves documents with her own signature without needing Judy's, despite both of them signing checks together. Meredith knows Judy can be rather reckless if left on her own, much to Judy's chagrin.
- Remember the New Guy?: Meredith was never mentioned in the Harvey Birdman cartoon. But the Birdgirl cartoon suggests that they've known each other for a long time.
- Spin-Offspring: Meredith is the daughter of Mentok: The Mind Taker from the original show.
- What Does She See in Him?: Is very attracted to Brian because of his body that she had sex with him 1500 times...in one night.
Paul
The company's masseur from the Syracuse Pauls, AKA The Feels.
- Ambiguous Gender Identity: In "The Wanky", he's seen wearing genderfluid and genderqueer flag stickers as a part of his sexuality seminar.
- Camp Gay: Talks and dresses like one.
- Cargo Ship: In-universe example. One of the pride flag stickers he's wearing in "The Wanky" is the objectum flag, representing attraction to inanimate objects.
- Fanboy: Of Birdgirl.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Fears not being listened to, which includes not listening to himself.
Charlie
The head of PR, AKA Strongarm.
- Bizarre Human Biology: "Rejuvication" is about her undergoing the titular process where her body cocoons itself every 19 years to rejuvenate. It's a very involved process that requires outside assistance to run smoothly. At one point an autonomous husk of skin is created within that she must absorb. She doesn't know why she is like this.
- Older Than She Looks: Because of "Rejuvication" she's a lot older than she appears, having a long succession of attendants through the process.
- Only Sane Woman: At times. Other times, she suggests putting Gillian in a coma to keep her from working overtime (although given Gillian's stubbornness, Charlie's idea wasn't really insane). Then again, she did a lot of questionable things for the company such as cutting down the biggest redwood tree, skinning baby seals alive, and murdering people.
- Sanity Slippage: Has a very sketchy past when she used to do a lot of crimes in the name of the company.
- Stout Strength: Judy nicknames her Strongarm just because of her strength.
Birdcat
Some cat Judy decided to adopt. AKA Birdcat.
- Happily Adopted: Judy randomly adopts it after a quick burning building event.
- Team Pet: For the Birdteam as a whole.
Evie
A daughter of someone working at the company who has somehow become friends with the building, AKA The Big Ten.
- Companion Cube: The building is one to her, though it is alive.
- Creepy Child: Is perfectly fine with watching the building torture people or Judy screwing up in saving them. And she spies on people through the vents.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Is very proficient in technology.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: Because she can talk to a building, she can talk to molecules, which becomes indispensable when restructuring people's bodies from consuming Baltimo.
- Precision F-Strike: Likes saying a lot of bad words.
Sebben & Sebben Worldwide
Dog in Bucket Hat
The head of security.
- Dirty Old Man:
- "Pilot" has him send a message to Meredith in a messaging app on her smartphone. He later says that he sent the wrong message.
- Has a very disgusting fetish for lipstick.
- His Name Really Is "Barkeep": Dog in Bucket Hat, who is a dog in a bucket hat.
- Recovered Addict: "Pilot" suggests that he's going strong with being sober from drinking when Birdgirl invites him out for beer.
Gillian
Sebben & Sebben's secretary.
- Blessed with Suck: She can extend her pinkies seemingly as far as she wants. It's a hereditary ability she calls a blessing, because it makes her the perfect typist for secretary work, and a curse for the same.
- Body Horror: Drinking too much of her many different energy drinks somehow causes her to grow larger, gain multiple arms, and sprout the faces she was pretending to be. Thankfully, she gets better (though she becomes addicted to her energy drink). There's also her extensible pinkies, which are still jointed.
- Crazy-Prepared: "Thirdgirl" mentions that Gillian is always prepared to be on duty for anything Judy needs her to do.
- Literal-Minded: She takes everything Judy tells her seriously, as an order. When Judy tells her "don't move" she chooses not to move from the spot to the point of risking starvation.
- Mind over Matter: Can develop telekinesis through sheer force of will. Something Meredith groans as "going Carrie, again."
- Paper-Thin Disguise: She disguises herself as Judy's second secretary "Gennifer" just so she can continue helping her out. Then she starts posing as Benjy - a man - whom she bounds and gags in the tub. Judy falls for her weak disguise anyway.
- Sitcom Archnemesis: Whenever Meredith is given a temporary CEO position to fill in for Judy, Gillian becomes as insufferable as possible about it.
- Split-Personality Takeover: When she starts to get very stressed juggling between two more personalities, she goes insane and needs to rest to go back to normal.
- Workaholic: Very obsessed with her job to the point she works so much overtime that it drives the company's budget in the negatives.
Scot
The head of manufacturing.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Brian shoves him into Calypsis after getting fed up by his lack of faith in the product.
Brian O'Brien
The head of human waste. He sometimes assists the Birdteam when needed.
- Ambiguously Bi: Claims to be straight but in "Fli on Your Own Supply" he is very interested in the chippendale dancers.
- Hidden Depths: In "Shoot from the Foop", he can handle DJ activities.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Feels very disturbed about killing Scot and has his ShareBear provide him with therapy.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Brian copied the personal files of all the female Sebben & Sebben employees and told all major news outlets to publish them in case he can't be contacted. The ladies are pissed at Brian for this.
- No-Sell: He is completely immune to Meredith's mind-taking powers because he has no mind for her to control.
- Sixth Ranger: Brian's usually taken in the team when they need extra manpower.
- Starter Villain: In "Pilot", he goes mad for power after Calypsis went berserk and devours people to create true organic food. He mellows out eventually and becomes a Reformed Criminal.
Jessica (from Accounting)
- Almighty Janitor: She can control all the employees to do her whims because they're all indebted to her niceness, much to Judy's chagrin. She also happened to power the entire building using her under-desk exercycle. On top of all this, she hasn't cashed in any of her paychecks, and doing so, can make the company go bankrupt.
- The Heart: Although her work output is stated to be poor, she's the nicest worker in the company who gives candy to people, resupplies the medical aid kit, never forgets a birthday, etc.
- The Informant: It turns out that she's a key component of the company by learning from all the complaints other coworkers may have that they're not willing to tell to Judy instead.
Others
Phil Ken Sebben
- Killed Off for Real: As of "Pilot". According to Dog, they were able to find an eyepatch and one of his feet.
- Parental Neglect: Judy comes to realize in "Pilot" that her Birdgirl persona developed from her need from attention from Phil, who treated anyone less aggressively zany than he was as beneath his notice.
Etan DelVay
The CEO of ShareBear Corporation.
- Affably Evil: He means every word he says when he wants to use ShareBears as therapeutic tools, meant nothing by testing the bears on Sebben & Sebben's employees, and was even remorseful for buying 20% of the company's stock, saying that he intended to give it back to her afterwards. He is not so forgiving when Sebben & Sebben's employees and Judy maim him for circumstances beyond his control.
- Body Horror: Gets stitched with his ShareBear creations after getting grievously injured.
Kaptain Khaos
An Affably Evil villain who's out to tarnish Judy's reputation (and kill her).
- Freudian Excuse: He hates Sebben & Sebben because he accidentally caused his own parents to get fried alive to death with vegetable oil at his favorite restaurant.
- History Repeats: He himself is fried alive in a hot vegetable oil explosion.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: His disguise as his villain alter-ego looks easy to tell apart from his real look.
