Siria Ashen
Siria Ashen, also known as Magissa
"...Nothing clears my head like kicking an eighty-year-old lady on her dentures."
Student at Seoul National University and one of Dina's university colleagues, as well as best friend of hers.
Siria had an unusual path to getting into SNU. She was initially an illegal fighter at the behest of her family (that is also a Mafia clan), she ran away from them to try university life, therefore deciding to continue her studies.
Following a reconciliation with her parents, she resumed clandestine fighting and criminal activities, but on the condition that she was able to continue studying.

- Best Friend: She is Dina's best friend.

- Freudian Trio: She is part of one when she is with Dina and Trixie. Siria is the ego, being the one that goes with the flow. While she is quick to use her fists, she also likes planning before acting.
- Hazy-Feel Turn: Dina claims that Siria retired from her life of crime in order to expand her knowledge at the SNU but Siria is consistently shown to do very morally ambigous things that make not clear how much she truly is reformed. The fact that she resumes her criminal activities in her family's clan makes her redemption even more ambigous.

- Loose Lips: She and Dina accidentally admit on Instagram Live that Siria committed identity theft and financial fraud to get enrolled into the Seoul National University.

- Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: When she reconciles with her family, it means that she can stay at the SNU and pass a few exams with the maximun score thanks to her family corrupting the university. They also corrup the police so that they won't investigate Siria anymore.
- Skewed Priorities: What do you do when you have the Korean police chasing you? You have a trip in Italy, visiting comic cons and playing Jenga.
- Sports Dad: Her parents disapprove of her choice of joining university rather than continuing her illegal fights. They eventually accept Siria's wish of pursuing university because it allows her to be near Professor Voldemort.
- Unstoppable Rage: Siria is someone you DON'T want to mess with.
- In the secondo episode, when Anne beats up Dina, she and Dina shave her head and throw her in the river
- Still in the second episode, when Anne tries to Acid Attack Dina and hurts Trixie in the process she reacts by squirting on the dormitory's bathroom floor so that Anne would slip on it, hit her head on the sink and become stunned for enough time to put her in a cargo ship directet to Timbuktu.
- Toxic Friend Influence: Discussed by Carla in episode 1x4. She says that Gideon and Siria bring out the worse in Dina. They discuss about it and promise to try to improve as people.
- Turning Into Your Parent: Discussed by Dina in episode 1x4. Siria wants to be a better person than her parents, but the influence her upbringing had is evident. She promises herself that she will do her best as a person.
- Would Harm a Senior: She regularly has bridge with a group of nice old ladies. And with bridge she means they have clandestine fight 'under' the bridge. It's consensual on their part, as they have an old-women fight club, but it's evident that Siria has a huge advantage against them.
Gideon Tiz

"From a young age, we were taught that appearance matters, and this created quite a few image conflicts in my mind."
An inhabitant of Seoul of Italian origins. Unlike the others who have little problem exposing themselves, Gideon tends to be more reserved in his narratives, preferring to always reveal only what is necessary.

He has a conflicting relationship with his family, who pushed him to lose as much weight as possible to achieve an aesthetic ideal that he repudiates today. He is in a relationship with Dina, which is disapproved of by both their families.
- Big Beautiful Man: His family though does not consider him pretty anymore.

- Cloudcuckoolander: More and more as the series progresses, and she sees more and more of the Virgin Mary.

- Iconic Item: Flower bras become associated with her after episode 1x5.
- Kissing Cousins: She had a brief sexual relationship with her cousin after the Virgin Mary told her to do so.
- Knocking on Heathens' Door: She started doing this after her (alleged) visions of the Virgin Mary.
- Meaningful Name: "Maialini" means little pigs in italian. It reflects both Trixie's cute appearance and mannerisms (small pigs are adorable) and her drug use and crazy sex life (pigs are often a symble of both gluttony and lust).

- Shapes of Disappearance: Dina notices how she wasn't present at either Fabiola's birthday or Pina's wedding and no one heard of her or knew where she was. She thinks it's representative of how her group in Marsala is crumbling and finds this image rather fitting for the situation.

Pina Cucchiara
""For him it was love at first sight, for me it was love at first Visa when I saw the bank account."*
Pina comes from a very poor family, and grew up in a trailer park where Melixa and Barney also lived.

- The Heart: She is this to her group in Marsala. She is the only one that is universally liked in her group of friends and is the only one that genuinely tries to keep them together, purely out of affection.

- Trashy Trailer Home: She lived in a trailer park during her teenage years, like Barney and Melixa.

Roxen Glory
Roxen Glory
"Nessuno si può permettere di parlare di Roxen a quel modo. Nessuno." Dina parlando di Roxen.
Roxen is the member of the Marsala group about whom the least is known.

- Lucrezia did defend Fabiola when their child spoke badly about her in episode 1x7 and would like for him to have a better relationship with Fabiola.
- It's All About Me : From her point of view, Dina has no right to be offended by the behavior Barney and Melixa have towards her, as what's important in her eyes is that she gets her own group and they leave the drama out of it.
- Lack of Empathy : She couldn't care less of the drama between Dina, Melixa and Barney. What she wants is a cohesive group, and they should repress their disdain for each other in order to mantain that apparent cohesion.
- Shallow Cannot Comprehend True Love : A friendship example. Lucrezia is concerned with the idea of a group, as it is customary and mandatory for social acceptance in Marsala to have a group of friends to show to the other people, but can't seem to grasp why Dina is so bothered when Barney and Melixa don't hang out with her in Seoul, since Dina has other friends in Seoul and so she wouldn't need Barney and Melixa in that situation.

"Have you ever thought you wanted those two extra points in the ranking to become a janitor? Melbourne Sexual University is for you, with an exciting environment that will stimulate your mind as much as your prostate"
One of Dina's friends from Marsala and a "squirting researcher" at the Melbourne Sexual University. She was married to Lucrezia and together they adopted a child, who Fabiola only sees when she returns to Marsala. To compensate for her loneliness she often finds herself pleasing others' needs at the expense of her own feelings or in some bizarre sexual adventure.
After choosing to be closer to Italy to facilitate travels for visiting her child, she quits Melbourne Sexual University and starts working at a fertility lab called LOADS.
- A Friend in Need: She is a welcoming person and is always there to help Dina solve her messes.
- Amicable Exes: The situation is ambigous. She and her ex wife Lucrezia share the same group of friends, and appear to be civil to each other.
- In spite of this Lucrezia didn't show up at Fabiola's birthday party.
- Lucrezia did defend Fabiola when their child spoke badly about her in episode 1x7 and would like for him to have a better relationship with Fabiola.
- 11th-Hour Ranger: She has this dynamic with Dina's friends from Seoul whenever she asks for her help.
- Ethical Slut: Fabiola is a kind hearted individual who would gladly spread her legs for you if it makes you feel better.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Almost nobody. While it's understandable that Lucrezia wouldn't hang out with her (as they had a divorce years ago), the other girls have no reason to treat her with the indifference she gets.
- Laura, Barney and Melixa ditched her birthday entirely (and the last two went to even Dina 's birthday in spite of how their relationship is)
- Sofia couldn't even bother to text her a happy birthday
- Dina shows up mostly when she needs something, though after being called out by Fabiola in season 1 episode 6, their relationship improves.
- Pina is the only one that is shown to genuinely and consistently worry about Fabiola.
- Hates Being Alone: When she stayed in Melbourne, she would often spend her nights out of her home as she hated living alone.
- Hidden Depths: Fabiola has sex with everybody because she is afraid of being alone and she thinks that by being appealing and appeasing on every possible way people won't abandon her.
- Lonely Among People: While she has a very active social life and an enormous amount of sexual partners, no one is ever really there to listen to her or her needs, meaning she never really lets out what she truly feels.
- Really Gets Around: Fabiola would sleep with ANYONE as long as they're human, alive, consenting and at least 18 years old.

Melixa is the most argumentative member of the group, who loves to fight for what she believes is her justice. She moved in the same trailer park where Pina lived and later joined her group of friends.
- Beach Bury : That's how she met her current group of friends. She was hanging out at the beach with the other trailer park kids and they buried her in sand and then left her. Luckilly for her, Dina, Pina and the others took her out of it.
- Greed : She attended both Dina and Lucrezia's birthday parties but she never buys presents when she does so, as discussed by Dina in the third episode.
- Hidden Disdain Reveal : Once she got the chance to visit Seoul, she ignores Dina to hang out exclusively with Barney. They do go to her birthday party but choose to not buy a gift for her and leave midway through to hang out by themselves.
- It's All About Me: After ghosting Dina for months, she refuses to acknowledge that they need to talk about her own behaviour in Seoul and tries to pretend nothing ever happened, trying to insert herself in a trip to Erice that Dina and Mysteria wanted to do, while also trying to change their trip plan to accomodate only her own necessities.
- Might Makes Right : She seems to run on this in her group. She fights for what she believes to be right, and it will be right because she is fighting for it stronger and louder than anybody else. Dina calls her out on in episode 3 when she complains that, now that Melixa knows she is wrong and she can't do nothing about it, Melixa's reaction was just to ghost Dina.
- Trashy Trailer Home: She lived in a trailer park up until season 2 episode 1, and was neighbor with Barney and Pina during their teenage years.
Barney Stilson
Barney Stilson
I'll let you know
Initially a pen pal that Pina Cucchiara had thanks to a school project, he eventually moved to Marsala and fell in love with the town and the culture.
He joined Pina's group and has been Dina's friend for years. He too studies at Seoul National University, but refuses to see Dina when they are not in Marsala.
- Character Catchphrase: "I'll let you know". He says that whenever Dina asks him to hang out with her, because he doesn't like to expliicitly say no.
- Cultural Posturing: Barney likes southern Italy so much that he dislikes Dina's friends in Seoul because they are not "southern enough". It's part of the reason why he avoids Dina when they're not in Marsala.
- False Friend: He likes Dina's group of friends but does not like her. Instead of setting things straight however, he treats Dina like a best friend whenever they are in Marsala but totally ghosts her when they are at Seoul.
- Foil: To Dina.
- Both their Color Motif is red but they have very different personalities.
- Barney prefers to feign friendship to people he dislikes, while Dina is very vindictive person that doesn't hide her dislike of someone.
- Barney likes to pretend that everything is fine to avoid confrontation, while Dina is brutally honest.
- Barney moved to Marsala during his teenage years and loved the town, while Dina left Marsala late in her teenage years and would never come back.
- Pen Pals: He was one to Pina before moving into Marsala.
- Trashy Trailer Home: When he moved in Marsala, he lived in a trailer park and was neighbor with Pina and Melixa. He moved to Seoul when he started University.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: When they were in Marsala, this was his dynamic with Dina, due to their very different views.

Nunzio Nunzietti
"I am the lucky one, as i can show you off to my friends"
A former parliamentarian and Pina's "fresh new" husband. He's very old but always dreamt of having a nice girl by his side so he could show her off to his friends.- The Peeping Tom: He meets Pina while they were both spying on a couple having sex. They keep being voyeurs even after they marry.
- Wheelchair Antics: He is so old he can't even stand on his own feet. One wonders how he could even still be an active voyeur that peeps inside the woods.
Sasha Marino
Drusilla "Sasha" Marino
"I'm trying to be good so my family doesn't worry, but as soon as I turn eighteen I'll start making some real money"
Dina's mischevious sister that has gone missing.
- Big Sister Worship: She ADORES Dina and wants to be like her, but lacks the maturity to understand that Dina's lifestyle is not the healthiest.
- The reason for her wish to recieve a brazilian butt surgery is because she wants to imitate Dina (that had her boobs done a few years ago) while adding her own unique twist to it (which is also very Dina-like).
- She loves to appear in Dina's videos, and promised she will visit Dina during season two.
- Missing Child: When she debuts in episode 4, it's because she's nowhere to be found. She illegally flew to brazil in the vain hope that she could get a butt surgery.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: No one really calls her Drusilla.
- Practically Different Generations: Sasha was born when Dina was in high scool, so there's a huge age gap between them. They still love each other very fondly.
- Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: She's 12 and yet she wants a brazilian butt surgery. While Sofia and Dina were able to explain why she shouldn't do this at age 12, it's implied she still plans to do it when she turns 18.
Martina Culatelli
A woman from Marsala with multiple talents and former classmate of Dina and Sofia.
She had a long standing crush on Sofia, who didn't seem to reciprocate, until the two dated for a few months.
What was once love, however, became the most pure form of hatred.

- The Ace: Even Sofia admits how remarkable she is: She became a highly successful plastic surgeon, a world-famous twerker and the Prima Ballerina of the Brazilian Carnival (without being Brazilian) and all before the age of thirty.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: She spent her whole life hoping that Sofia will finally notice her. Now she probably wants to go back.
- Dogged Nice Guy: Things started out as this between her and Sofia. It would have probably been better if things stayed that way.
- The Schlub Pub Seduction Deduction: She's the victim of this of this scenario. Martina is not ugly or dumb, but Sofia is still dating her only to get a free butt agumentation surgery. When there's complications during the operation, Martina asks the other doctors to transplant her own butt into Sofia to save her. When Sofia finds out about her sacrifice, she continues her plan like nothing and leaves Martina behind.
Gaia Cuore
I'm here representing the trailer park that has been talked about on this channel, and we are not at all satisfied with how our community has been represented.
Pina's archrival and occasional friend.The transexual woman that owns the trailer park where Pina, Barney and Melixa lived. When they were little, she tried hard to be liked by the other trailer park kids, but has always been ignored by everyone, except Pina.
