Voiced by: Allison Seils

A mysterious creature of ancient origins, Sasha is Crafty's kindhearted ex-girlfriend. The two of them once met out at sea, and their friendship quickly blossomed into a romance, which is detailed throughout many of the show's flashback sequences. Unfortunately, their newfound relationship wouldn't last; Sasha mysteriously disappeared one day and never came into contact with Crafty for many years since. Knowing that she left him deeply heartbroken, her decision quickly became her biggest regret in her long-lived life. After a certain point, Sasha begins working up the courage to try and make amends, but her inexperience in both dealing with intense emotions and confronting her guilt prove to be huge hurdles for her to overcome.

What exactly Sasha's species is turns out to be instrumental in the schemes of Doctor Mindstein, and it even contributes to the Crafty Crew's lives in other ways that nobody—not even Sasha—could have anticipated. The moment she appears in the story in the present day, the stakes rise to divine proportions with world-threatening consequences. Thus, as she deals with reconciling with Crafty after their breakup, she must also fight to ensure that neither Mindstein nor anyone else abuses her species' legacy.

Sasha was designed by Rin Lockhart.

"Ahhhhhh... Colin's first friend."
"Oh-hohoho... You need to get those glasses checked, cuz you're utterly blind!"
Howard Voiced by: D. Tyler Fultz
Vinny Voiced by: Kim Gasiciel

A duo of retired musicians, Howard and Vinny have been the most constant supportive presence in Crafty's life. They first appear in "This is Crack(ship)" during a flashback, where they happily take in Sasha when Crafty returns home with her. who were first seen on the show after he invited Sasha to live with them. According to "ENDGAME SPOILERS," the Craftersons always keep in touch after each episode. While they're a bit concerned about the antics that Crafty gets up to, they just as supportive of the show as they are for Crafty himself.


  • Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: In the flashback of "This is Crack(ship)," Vinny abruptly hugs Sasha as thanks for saving her son, and Howard directly comments on Sasha's beauty. While both of his parents are coming from genuine places, Crafty is nonetheless a bit embarrassed by how they express themselves.
    [Vinny opens the front door to her son and Sasha]
    Vinny: Is that my babyyy? Ohhhhhhh!! You must be Colin's first friend!!
    [Vinny holds Sasha in a big, long hug.]
    Vinny: I can't thank you enough for saving my baby boy!
    Crafty: Mooooom!
    Vinny: I don't know what we'd have done if we lost our only son... It's weird, though.
    Crafty and Sasha: Huh?
    Vinny: The doctor said it was a plumper girl that called 9-1-1 and brought you to the hospital. Must need his eyes checked, am I right?
    [Crafty briefly turns to Sasha]
    Crafty: You called 9-1-1?
    Sasha: No; I don't have a phone.
    Vinny: Welp, doesn't matter! Point is, my boy is safe, and I have you to thank! Oh! I have to introduce ya to his father! Howard!!
    [Off in the living room, Howard's too busy practicing "We Are Number One" and doesn't hear Vinny's first call.]
    Vinny: Howard!!
    [This finally catches Howard's attention. He hurries to the front door to meet Crafty and his new friend.]
    Howard: Blimey, is she here?!
    [Howard takes notice of Sasha.]
    Howard: Well, bless me old soul... she's a right beaut, this one!
    Crafty: Daaaaad!
  • Beatnik: Howard looks very much like a beatnik, mainly thanks to his mustache, shades, sweater, and trumpet.
  • Celebrity Resemblance: Crystelle explains in "Atop the 4th Door," that Crafty's parents met during Woodstock. During their time there; they were mistaken for Sonny & Cher, and they soon held a successful concert in the celebrities' stead. The positive reception that they received led to Howard and Vinny creating a tribute band for the duo under the name "Skinny and Hair."
  • Cool Shades: Both of them wear a pair of sunglasses that hide their eyes.
  • Good Parents: Howard and Vinny were the most supportive people in Colin's life before Sasha came around.
    • As shown in "This is Crack(Ship)" and discussed in "LoveCrafty," they were genuinely concerned about Colin's safety and utterly delighted that he made a friend. They allowed Sasha to stay with them as long as she liked, both out of sympathy for her and because of how happy she made their son.
    • According to Crystelle in "ENDGAME SPOILERS," the Craftersons always catch up after each episode of Dr. Crafty. Apparently, Vinny has grown rather worried about the kinds of antics that her son has gotten up to.
      Crafty: No, mother. I was not making a deal with the devil. I was making a deal with a video game character, who happens to be a demon, and is a lawyer... What do you mean that's worse?
  • Hartman Hips: Vinny's almost as thin as her husband, with her hips being a notable exception.
  • Hippie Parents: According to Crystelle in "Atop the 4th Door," Crafty's parents both met at the Woodstock Music Festival, falling in love during their impromptu performance of Sonny & Cher music.
  • Noodle People: Howard is quite the string bean. He is no doubt where Crafty gets his lankiness from.
  • Small Role, Big Impact:
    • Howard and Vinny's physical appearances are few and far between, but they've been Crafty's biggest source of support since day one, something proudly demonstrated and discussed in "This is Crack(Ship)" and "LoveCrafty," respectively. Crafty, while still troubled by his mental issues, wouldn't be nearly as well-adjusted as he is now without his parents' help.
    • In "Happy Crafty Day," Nurse recalls how, after Crafty saved her life, Crafty's parents wouldn't allow Nurse to stay with them, not wanting a repeat of Crafty's fallout with Sasha. This motivated Crafty to seek out a home where he and Nurse would be free to live together. He would eventually find Castle Infinia and claim it as his own, thus making Howard and Vinny indirectly responsible for nearly all of the show's present-day events.
  • So Proud of You: The flashback in "This is Crack(ship)" demonstrates just how happy they were for Crafty to have met Sasha. They reflect on this achievement as Crafty and Sasha excitedly hurry to Crafty's room to hang out. Vinny correctly guesses that the friendship is about to become something more.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Both Howard and Vinny have traits that carried over to Colin, including Howard's physique and nose and Vinny's long curly hair. When Colin later takes on the Dr. Crafty persona, he evokes his parents further by adopting some near-perpetual eyewear of his own.

    Disgustilda 

Disgustilda

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/disgustilda.png
"NYEEEEEEEEEEESSS!"
Voiced by: Alex Tansley (Seasons 1-3), xthedarkone (Season 4 Onward)

Off in a nearby old cabin lives the Crafty Crew's sole, wacky neighbor, Disgustilda. She's (mostly one-sidedly) fond of every Crafty Crewmate except for Crafty, who she has a bone to pick with over a past transgression. She fancies herself as his greatest enemy, and from "Too Ghoul for School" onwards, she occasionally drops by the castle uninvited to antagonize him. However, the worst she ever does is annoy or mildly inconvenience him—and that's if she's successful, or even remembers to heckle him at all. As one can imagine, it really doesn't take much to thwart Disgustilda and chase her away... but it also takes just as little effort for her to come back and try again. These repeat visits eventually make Disgustilda more tolerable for the Crafty Crew, enough so that they allow her to contribute to the show as an infrequent guest commentator.

It also doesn't take long for her to grow invested in Sasha, the mysterious woman from Crafty's past. Seeing her as a kindred spirit, she decides to take her into her cottage, leading to Disgustilda earning a more important role in the show's plot. With this new development and Doctor Mindstein's ever-increasing presence, only time will tell how Disgustilda shall resolve her conflict with Crafty.


  • Ambiguously Human: The show deliberately keeps Disgustilda's species a mystery. She's certainly humanoid, but her strange proportions and blue skin tone both suggest that she's something other than human. The show itself and some promotional material subtly draw attention to the matter.
    • Across all versions of Crafty's commission rules, Disgustilda drawings are priced as Creature Concoctions, a category typically reserved for distinctly animalistic designs. At face value, this is likely due to her uniquely unusual proportions, but the presence of other hints implies something being amiss.
    • Starting with "LoveCrafty," Disgustilda takes in Sasha as a roommate, and the show wastes no time hinting at a relationship between the two past their newfound friendship. Both of them admit to experiencing some level of familiarity upon meeting each other, with Disgustilda seeing Sasha as a kindred spirit, and Sasha feeling inexplicably comforted by Disgustilda's rickety shack, enough so that she wanted to meet the occupant inside. These hints, combined with the characters' shared complexion, suggest that Disgustilda is related to the Infinia in some way.
    • The Hero Month Spin-Off Special ends with Crystelle answering a question about Disgustilda, namely whether she'll ever become a credible threat to the Crafty Crew. A strange psychic attack from an unknown entity interrupts Crystelle before she can respond, and images of the assailant in question briefly flash into view during the scene. Whoever it is bears the telltale eyes of an Infinia, and their implied connection with Disgustilda further links her to the species.
  • invoked Anti-Climax Boss: The setup of "Fighting Game Characters" has Crafty briefly duel the titular characters who appear on his top ten list, as though he were participating in a fighting game's single-player mode. When all of them are taken care of, Disgustilda plays the role of the Final Boss. As usual, she tries building herself up to be a huge threat... but a single swing from Crafty sends her flying out of the castle. She does manage to knock Messi unconscious, though unintentionally.
    Messi: Wow, Doctor! I can't believe you actually defeated... uhm... most of those fearsome fighting foes. What happens now?
    Crafty: Hmm... Well, usually, after going through the arcade mode, you have to fight the boss at the end. So, I guess...?
    [The chuckling silhouette of Disgustilda slowly approaches in the background.]
    Crafty: ... Huh?
    Messi: What was...?
    [Disgustilda laughs harder, drawing ever closer.]
    Crafty: Wait a minute...
    Messi: Is that... [Disgustilda erupts from beneath her, accidentally throwing her aside.] WHAH!!
    Disgustilda: NYEEEEEEEEESSS!!!
    Fighting Game Announcer: AND NOW! THE FINAL CHALLENGER!
    Disgustilda: *WHEEZE* HEEHEEHEEHAHAHAHAHA!! YES, you lanky sausage! 'Tis I: Disgustilda, here to thwart your dreams of achievin' victory this day! I've been trainin' in the mountains, sought guidance from Shaolin monks, taught the art of ninjutsu, and watched every season of Walker Texas Ranger, so that I, Disgustilda, can best you... in hand-to-hand combat! Now, face me, you Twiglet-looking sod!
    [Crafty flashes an unimpressed glare before uppercutting Disgustilda out of the room.]
    Disgustilda: [sailing into the night sky] DAAAAAAAARGH!!!! CURSE YOU, YOU NONCE!!!!!
    [Disgustilda vanishes with A Twinkle in the Sky, and the scene returns to the bathroom.]
    Crafty: Best part about only having one punch animatic? It gives me a killer uppercut!
    Messi: [awakening from the floor] Did... someone get the license plate on that hippo...? [She falls back unconscious.]
  • Ascended Extra: Disgustilda is introduced as a pure gag character in Season 1's HalloWinter Special Month, having very few appearances within the rest of Season 1 and Season 2 thereafter. However, starting with Season 3's "LoveCrafty," the show places more focus on Disgustilda's contributions to the plot—especially now that she's taken Sasha in as a roommate. Now, in addition to her role as a gag character, Disgustilda supports Sasha through her attempts to reconcile with Crafty. "I Need a Hero Academia" is the first episode to show this dynamic in action, with Disgustilda laying down some harsh, but constructive criticism of how Sasha's handling her problem—and Sasha agrees with most of her points.
  • Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: Like Crafty, Disgustilda has a cartoonish design that befits her comical nature. However, unlike Crafty, she is also deliberately designed to look disproportionate and ungainly, which strongly hints at her impotency as a threat.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: There are times when Disgustilda, for all her eccentricities, has moments of great competency.
    • In "I Need a Hero Academia," she is the one to craft Crafty and Class 1-A's battle plan, though she admittedly had help from Sasha. It's successful, though the plan stumbles hard at first since nobody factored in Screw.
    • It's implied in the Hero Month Spin-Off Special that Disgustilda is brimming with untapped potential. When asked whether Disgustilda will ever be a serious threat, Crystelle's attempt to find an answer gets her assaulted by terrifying visions, which nearly throw her into a catatonic state. Most of them are stills from previous episodes shared between Disgustilda and Sasha, but the few new ones show a titanic, silhouetted figure reminiscent of an Infinia. By "We're Back! A Crafty Story," Crystelle has had ample time to process what she had seen, and she's still deeply unsettled.
  • The Cameo: Disgustilda has a brief off-screen appearance in "Magic Kingdom Mania." She's among the audience members shocked by Crafty's revelation about enjoying children's card games. The gag notably implies that even she isn't above watching Dr. Crafty.
    Disgustilda: *Gasp* I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE ANYMORE!!
  • The Cat Came Back: Despite being forcibly removed from the castle constantly, Disgustilda will find a way to enter back inside, frequently wanting to involve herself in the Crew's affairs for one reason or another. As "I Need a Hero Academia" reveals, for as much as she hates Crafty, she likes the cohosts, and they're the reason she keeps returning. Their endangerment is what convinces her to help Crafty and Class 1-A.
  • Chekhov's Gag: Her recurring break-ins at the castle were all Played for Laughs, but come "I Need a Hero Academia," it ends up coming in handy to help Crafty and 1-A plan an attack against Mindstein's defenses. As dense as she is most of the time, she is intimately familiar with her former castle's layout.
  • Chekhov's Gun: Disgustilda throughout Seasons 1 and 2 couldn't be any more irrelevant if she tried. Come "LoveCrafty" in Season 3, Disgustilda becomes a supporting presence for Sasha. Later, "I Need a Hero Academia" reveals why Disgustilda keeps trying to take the castle back, and why she is most helpful for establishing a plan to take it back: Crafty stole it from her, and she knows the place inside and out.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Befitting her cartoonish appearance, Disgustilda is a deeply eccentric person, which hinders her from truly acting on her grudge against Crafty. She's consistently, obliviously polite around the Crew, and she's liable to get distracted by any bizarre train of thought that crosses her mind. A lot of this weirdness is noticeably played up around the calm, collected Crystelle to highlight their contrasting personalities.
    • Crystelle is forced to ask a question about Disgustilda in "Atop the 4th Door," specifically about whether she has any hobbies past antagonizing Crafty. Crystelle flat-out admits that Disgustilda's an enigma to her; she compares the act of looking into her mind to the dehumanizing experience of "spending a weekend at Tommy Wiseau's house." And when she returns to the topic of hobbies, she notes that Disgustilda frequently tries watching daytime television... on an inactive television set. She concludes her answer with a figure of speech, that not all the lights are on in Disgustilda's head. It's something that Disgustilda herself somehow overhears and takes very literally.
      Crystelle: ... In case it hasn't been made abundantly clear, not all the lights are on in there...
      [Disgustilda smashes her way into Crystelle's Qloset.]
      Disgustilda: HELLO!!
      Crystelle: Ah—you?! What... are you - How did you get in here?!
      Disgustilda: Oi, I thought you were supposed to know everything! I came in through the window!
      Crystelle: This... This is a closet. There aren't any windows.
      Disgustilda: Yeah, I know mate—made it bloody difficult, that's for sure. But where there's a will, there's a way!
      [Disgustilda peers outside the new window, where a stock image of a construction worker awaits her.]
      Disgustilda: Thanks, Will!
      Will: 'Salright, mate.
      [A bewildered Crystelle peers out at Will from behind Disgustilda. The two women then resume their conversation.]
      Crystelle: I don't even... Okay, why are you here?
      Disgustilda: Do you have a lightbulb I could borrow?
      Crystelle: Ugh... Out with you!
      [Using her magic, Crystelle makes Disgustilda disappear in a puff of smoke.]
    • There are times when Disgustilda straight-up forgets to be the archnemesis of Crafty she claims to be, casually assisting him and his crew even outside of a crisis.
      • She makes a single brief appearance in "Fiction is Stranger than Truth" to support Nurse in convincing Crafty about the truth behind Disney's fairytales. She exits almost as soon as she appears upon realizing she's not getting through to him, not returning again until the subsequent episode, "Dragon, Dragon! Mock the Dragon!"
        [The episode opens with Crafty reading a Disney textbook]
        Crafty: ... I know everything there is to know about Disney and their stories. I've got this episode and art in the bag!
        Nurse: Crafty? What 'cha up to?
        Crafty: Studying up these fairytales for today's episode! [He proudly shows the book to Nurse.]
        Nurse: ... You know that the Disney versions of those fairy tales aren't the true versions of the original stories... right?
        [A part of Crafty's brain audibly shatters apart]
        Crafty: What? That's silly, Nurse! Disney clearly made these fairytales, and people know these fairytales because of Disney!
        Nurse: Crafty, the Disney versions aren't the first, and aren't even accurate to the original stories.
        Crafty: [visibly questioning life] But... Disney made these fairytales...
        Disgustilda: [casually strolling up from behind] Nyeh-heh-hess, Mate! Disney didn't make those fairytales! They're just child-friendly versions of the originals!
        Nurse: —That aren't true to the original stories!
        Crafty: .... I don't get it.
        [Confused and disappointed, Disgustilda leaves the castle without being forced to. Nurse walks off as well, preparing to start the show.]
        Crafty: Whuh...?
        [Crafty follows Nurse with more questions than answers now. A title card appears with a brief musical sting, reading "DOCTOR CRAFTY SHOW."]
      • She helps Crafty and Messi by serving as a third judge for the latest batch of Crafty Crew new hires in "Crafty Idol." While she briefly comments on her combative relationship with Crafty, she doesn't act upon it, instead opting to contribute commentary like the other hosts without batting an eye.
    • Another Disgustilda question in "Kerchoo" asks Crystelle if Disgustilda sells her knitted clothes. This prompts Disgustilda to appear again to answer the question herself, explaining that she uses a suspicious website called Sketchy to market her products. She knows full well about the illegal practices the site commits, but rather than be concerned, she's enthralled by the potential drama behind it all. And it's strongly implied that the devilish Jedah was responsible for helping her set up shop on Sketchy. Disgustilda also inexplicably addresses Crystelle as Crafty throughout their meeting, mistaking her crystal ball head for a stye.
      [Disgustilda crashes into the bus from its ceiling.]
      Disgustilda: HEYYOOOOOOO!! I think I'll field this one, boy!
      Crystelle: What?! How?! When—why?!?!
      Disgustilda: Oy, you should get that stye looked at, boy! Could be an infection! Anyway! As a matter of fact, I actually have my own storefront online, boy! Ye can find all my knitted knickknacks on my Sketchy page! You're one simple click away from exploring my fluffy menagerie!
      [A preview of Disgustilda's website drops from the ceiling. It's blatantly just Etsy with red text typed over the logo. The front page's banner reads Definitely not NFTs! All our pngs are real, we promise!]
      Crystelle: Hey!!
      Disgustilda: As you can see, ye can find all my worldly wonders right here, boy! And you can wear 'em, too, by simply sharing all your personal data with a faceless corporation that absolutely doesn't use unscrupulous practices for the sake of profit! They told me to say this, mine boy, right 'ere! In this four hundred page terms of service contract that I signed! Ohhhhhh, the back drama! Ohh the doublecross! Ohhhh, the black voodoo, the wet jigsaw puzzle, boy!!
      [Crystelle teleports Disgustilda away and takes her place.]
      Crystelle: Who... in their right mind would create such an insidious contract?
      [Crystelle has a realization.]
      Crystelle: Oh wait, no. I know exactly who.
      [There's a cut to Jedah in his office, laughing uproariously and surrounded by fire.]
  • Comically Small Demand: In "Atop the 4th Door," Disgustilda goes through the trouble of infiltrating Crystelle's closet. She even gets help from a passerby construction worker, who builds a window into the room for her to use as an entrance. She does all this... to ask Crystelle for a lightbulb, after overhearing Crystelle remark that "not all the lights are on in her head."
  • Dumbass Has a Point: Even someone as ditzy as Disgustilda is capable of great insight. After agreeing to form a battle plan for Crafty and Class 1-A and sending them off to bed in "I Need a Hero Academia" Part 3, she's disappointed that Sasha didn't reveal herself to Crafty in his time of need. She confronts her privately, laying down some harsh truths about how her cowardice isn't helping anyone—not Crafty, and especially not herself. Realizing that Disgustilda is right, Sasha urgently requests to at least help with the plan, which Disgustilda agrees to. Later on, she also tells Sasha to have faith in Crafty and let him handle Mindstein on his own for the same reason, arguments that Sasha also concedes to.
    [Crafty and Class 1-A have left Disgustilda's cottage. The next panel focuses on a door behind Disgustilda.]
    Disgustilda: You can come out now, poppet.
    [Sasha exits Disgustilda's closet, looking very ashamed.]
    Sasha: I'm sorry... I... just couldn't—
    [Disgustilda interrupts by pointing a finger at Sasha]
    Disgustilda: I ain't happy with this! You're gonna have to face that boy sooner or later!
    Sasha: But... I... I was scared that—
    Disgustilda: Scared of what?! That you’ll hurt 'im again? Or are you really scared of bein' hurt, if he rejects ya?!
    Sasha: I... no... That's—
    Disgustilda: That there boy’s probably scared half to death right now. You think he's hidin', though? Nahhh, mate. He’s runnin' in there, guns blazin'. I’d actually respect 'im a little if I didn’t already hate 'im as bloody much! And you say you love the boy! Well, if you do, you've got a funny way ah showin' it, mate!
    [Tears well up in Sasha’s eyes and she starts conceding to Disgustilda’s argument.]
    Disgustilda: With what that lad's tryin' to do right now, he'll be lucky if he makes it out alive. If I was you, lass, I'd start havin' a good, long think about what that boy means to you. Now, if you excuse me, I got a strategy to conjure up!
    Sasha: W-WAIT!
    [Disgustilda pauses.]
    Sasha: ... L-let me help you... with the battle plan. It's the least I can do to help him.
    Disgustilda: I suppose it's for the best. If you went with him right now, it'd just be more drama. Not the time for those kinda theatrics at the moment.
    [Disgustilda flashes a thumbs up at Sasha, who looks on with eager anticipation!]
    Disgustilda: Alright, Sasha, me girl! Let's get this done!!
    Sasha: R-Right!!
    [The two friends set right to work. Judging by her hand gestures, Sasha is already directing Disgustilda with some ideas.]
  • Enemy Eats Your Lunch: When Crafty is chucked out of the castle while Nurse prepares a surprise in "Happy Crafty Day," Disgustilda confronts him and swipes the meal Nurse packed for him. Disgustilda holds the meal for ransom: she'll give it back to Crafty in exchange for the castle. It's the one win she gets over Crafty, but unfortunately for her, it doesn't get any better than that; Crafty decides to just let her have the food and continues suffering in the Everglades.
  • Fan Disservice: The post-credits scene of "Dumb Dingies" involves Disgustilda appearing in an ill-fitting, skimpy swimsuit, hoping to join the Crafty Crew on their beach trip. However, not only is she late by one episode, but she also dropped by while no one else is around, leaving the audience to take in every weird growth on her body for quite a few seconds as she awkwardly looks around.
  • Friendly Enemy: Despite expressing her dislike of Crafty and his team for stealing her home, Disgustilda seems to enjoy their company—whether the feeling is reciprocated or not.
    • In "Atop the 4th Door," Crystelle describes Disgustilda's lack of intelligence with an expression: "Not all the lights are on in her head." Overhearing this and taking the statement literally, Disgustilda is prompted to build a window into the Qloset, climb inside, and casually request a lightbulb from Crystelle. She does this with all the politeness of a friendly neighbor, but an irritated Crystelle simply poofs her away. However, the next Questionable Qloset segment, "The Little Purple House," shows that Crystelle does keep the window.
    • When Crafty begrudgingly approaches her to help reclaim his castle from Mindstein in "I Need a Hero Academia" Part 3, Disgustilda refuses at first, even revealing to the accompanying Class 1-A that the castle was originally hers before he stole it. However, the moment Deku explains that Mindstein has taken the rest of the Crafty Crew hostage, Disgustilda changes her tune; the fact the lady Crewmates are in danger concerns her enough to want to help.
    • "Crafty Idol" has Crafty and Messi adopt an American Idol format to judge the latest batch of Crafty OCs, and they decide to bring in Disgustilda as the third judge. She has no objections about the offer, and she delivers her commentary with passion and excitement.
    • Disgustilda makes a surprise appearance in "The Villainous Turnabout," where she drops in to give an uncharacteristically in-depth and logical analysis of the dynamics between Crafty, Mindstein, and Metal Crafty. When an impressed Crafty asks how she came up with it, Disgustilda almost admits to him that Sasha helped her out, implying she's successfully softened her outlook on Crafty by this point. Disgustilda doesn't gain an immediate benefit for knowing this information, but she still chose to absorb and express it to help Crafty out with this episode. This reveal also retroactively explains why Disgustilda was so okay with guest-starring in "Crafty Idol."
  • Gonky Femme: It takes only one look at her to determine that Disgustilda isn't a conventionally attractive woman, and the show finds ways to comment on her ugliness whenever it can. This doesn't stop her from enjoying typical activities expected from an elderly lady like her, which Crystelle discusses in "Atop the 4th Door." She's unsure if Disgustilda is even human due to her odd appearance, but she does know that Disgustilda enjoys knitting and watching daytime television—just in her usual eccentric fashion.
  • Harmless Villain: Despite fashioning herself to be Crafty's greatest foe, Disgustilda is only a mild inconvenience at best. Her plans are extremely petty and small in scope, all of them hinging on heckling Crafty during his show—and that's if she remembers to antagonize him and not contribute commentary. She never takes more initiative than that despite wanting him to give up her castle.
    • Disgustilda first interrupts the show in "Too Ghoul for School." She gives a speech about her comically undercooked and nonsensical plan for world domination, which is transparently just a premise she made to justify inconveniencing Crafty and Nurse. Goozie easily chases her out without even laying a finger on her, and since the very next episode, "The Gift that Keeps on Grieving," Disgustilda drops the pretense and instead declares that she just wants revenge on Crafty... But she follows up on her words just as well as the last time, with Crafty easily spooking her away with a dragon summoned from his dragon die.
    • Sometimes, Disgustilda's pettiness makes some of her schemes helpful to Crafty. She's responsible for the events of "Patreon Palava," instructing Professor Merry in using a spoon to dig her way into Crafty's castle so she can annoy him with her fanfiction and her many commission ideas. While Crafty does grow quite exasperated with Merry by the episode's end, he does ultimately get paid considerable money for his work. And he receives yet more cash when Merry's assistant arrives to pay for the damages Merry caused.
  • Jerkass to One: The only person who Disgustilda is ever actively hostile toward is Crafty, who she sees as her Arch-Enemy, though her means of inconveniencing him don't extend past empty, petty threats and childish insults. Otherwise, she remains fairly polite with everyone else she comes across. She slowly begins purposefully extending that politeness over to Crafty as the series continues, though not to the point where she gets over what made her hate him in the first place.
    • The extent of her hostility is shown as early as "Too Ghoul for School," in which she posits herself as Crafty's sworn enemy and describes a half-baked world-domination plan to intimidate him and Nurse. However, it seems most of her animosity is directed towards Crafty specifically; when she's chased out, Disgustilda yells out one final insult to him and only him. This ends up being confirmed when she reappears in the next episode, "The Gift that Keeps On Grieving," where she approaches Crafty for revenge over the last time they met. She never holds Nurse accountable for sicking Goozie on her.
    • It's very noticeable that Disgustilda carries herself more politely whenever Crafty isn't in the picture.
      • In "LoveCrafty," she's flat-out friendly with Sasha, willing to set aside her disdain for Crafty in order to help her reconcile with him. She never once chides her for being associated with him, even as she knits a sweater with a mockery of his emblem inked upon it.
      • "Atop the 4th Door" has Disgustilda bust her way into Crystelle's Qloset in hopes that she has a spare lightbulb. She's fairly well-mannered with her, completely ignorant of Crystelle's obvious distress about her intrusion. She later drops by to comment on the backstory behind Crafty's parents and how they met, without a hint of animosity toward them.
    • When considering some additional help he needs to retake his castle in "I Need a Hero Academia," Crafty reluctantly decides to approach Disgustilda. At first, she gleefully rubs his vulnerability in his face and explains to Class 1-A why she refuses to help, and why she hates him so much: his castle used to be hers before he stole it. Thus, she's not interested in helping him out at first. However, the second Deku mentions how the other Crewmates are held captive within the castle, Disgustilda decides to assist for their sake. She stresses as much to him indirectly through her crudely-drawn battle plan later in the episode. She clearly calls Crafty "smelly" in her drawing of him, complete with stink lines.
    • After "LoveCrafty," it's Sasha who helps Disgustilda soften her disposition toward Crafty over time. Quite a few subsequent episodes show her engaging Crafty in polite conversation, even if she still doesn't like him all that much. And by Season 4, she can tolerate him enough to become an active commentator on his show in "Crafty Idol" and "The Villainous Turnabout." In both episodes, the most she does is comment on her role as his archnemesis, which Crafty doesn't reciprocate at all due to having Mindstein to deal with.
  • Large Ham: Both of Disgustilda's voice actors give her a loud, goofy voice that sounds like it's on the verge of laughing whenever she's not being serious.
    • An example of Crafty's hamminess as Disgustilda comes in her introduction in "Too Ghoul for School." As she tries very hard to be loud and dramatic in trying to scare Crafty and Nurse, it's very clear that Crafty is trying hard not to break character and bust out laughing, adding to the character's energy.
      [Disgustilda rises into view.]
      Disgustilda: HA-HAW, I did it! After years and years of digging with a toothpick, I've finally infiltrated... my sworn enemy's lair!
      Crafty: What in Tesla's test tubes is going on in here?!
      Nurse: Who are you?
      Disgustilda: I'm Disgustilda, mate! I've revealed myself halfway through this show ah yours, to finally exact... my sinister scheme... upon you both.
      Crafty: I... don't think we've even met.
      Nurse: Crafty! What're we gonna do?!
      Disgustilda: Yeeesss, be afraid, Nurse! Beveryafraid! For my plan... has now begun!!
      [Disgustilda erupts into evil laughter.]
      Crafty: Okay, um... What's your plan, then?
      Disgustilda: HEHEHAHAHA-uh-what-uh-uh, excuse me?
      Crafty: Your plan. What is it? What're you going to do?
      Disgustilda: Ah, well, lessee here, uh... Step One, uh, break into your lab.... Ah, Step Two!
      [A cricket chirps as Disgustilda falls silent for several seconds.]
      Nurse: ... Well?
      Disgustilda: Haha-what, miss?
      Nurse: What's Step Two?
      Disgustilda: [gleefully] That is Step Two, mate! See?! And then Step Three is take over the world!
      [Disgustilda erupts into more evil laughter. The show's hosts look just about done with everything that has transpired.]
      Crafty: Nurse?
      Nurse: On it, Doctor. GOOZIE~~!!
      [Goozie slowly stomps up from being Disgustilda, who breaks for the exit, thoroughly spooked.]
      Disgustilda: [while running] DAAAAARGH!!! CURSE YOU, CRAFTY!! I'LL HAVE MY REVENGE ON YOU, YOU LANKY NONCE!!
      Revolta: [suddenly appearing to the left] What's her problem?
      Crafty and Nurse together: Beats me.
    • An example of xthedarkone's hamminess as Disgustilda comes in most of her dialogue throughout "Crafty Idol." She's given a much more boisterous voice than before, getting to demonstrate some considerable range as she commentates on the various prospective Crafty Fan Characters for the season. She gets particularly loud and hammy about a certain moment with Mortimer:
      Mortimer: Oh, that reminds me! I got a package—
      Crafty and Messi together: NOOOOOO!!
      Mortimer: —to deliver to Crafty.
      [All three judges sigh in relief.]
      Disgustilda: OH, THANK GOD! I THOUGHT HE MEANT 'PENIS!!'
      [...]
      [Later after the show, Disgustilda is reciting variants of her last line in front of a boom mic.]
      Disgustilda: Ohhh, thank god! I thought he was talkin' about BIG, FLOPPY TALLYWHACKLES! BIG DINGLEBERRIES AND PEAN-EYE! AWWWWWWWWWW, I TELL YA, HE WENT—I WENT INTO A PANIC ATTACK! I NEED A REDDY 'CAUSE I GOT HEARTBURN!
  • Meaningful Name: "Disgustilda" couldn't be any more apt due to its holder's unconventional, ugly appearance.
  • The Pig-Pen: It's not frequently commented on, but Disgustilda's hygiene isn't the greatest. Most of this quality is exhibited in her cottage, first seen in "LoveCrafty"; its wallpaper bears several water stains, its furniture is falling apart, its windows are cracked, and some of its china has seen better days. Later, "I Need a Hero Academia" Part 3 has a brief scene in which Mineta was forced to bunk with Disgustilda overnight. He exits her cottage looking and sounding scarred for life, implying that even sleeping near Disgustilda in the cottage was an incredibly unpleasant experience.
  • Self-Deprecation: Disgustilda is fully aware of her hideousness and occasionally describes herself derisively. When declaring her wish to help Sasha in "LoveCrafty" she says that she's willing to "lend a grotesque, oversized hand," something she almost quotes verbatim in "I Need a Hero Academia" Part 3 to Class 1-A.
  • Shipper on Deck: Upon taking her in as a roommate, Disgustilda learns from Sasha about her strained relationship with Crafty, and how she wishes to reconcile with him. She decides to help Sasha out with her relationship troubles; while she still isn't very fond of Crafty, she sees Sasha as a kindred spirit. The next time the subject comes up is in "I Need a Hero Academia" Part 3, where Sasha spurns what could be the last time she'll ever see Crafty again to hide in a closet. Disgustilda vocally disapproves of her choice, urging her to reconsider her stance on him if she continues to run away from him every chance she gets.

  • Shout-Out: Disgustilda is a mixture of different influences, with one, in particular, falling out of relevancy as the show progresses.
    • Her primary inspiration is the Hitcher of The Mighty Boosh. Both of her voice actors adopt an impression of the character for her voice, with Crafty eventually replacing himself with xthedarkone in Season 4 since he felt he did a better job. As a character, meanwhile, Disgustilda takes some of the Hitcher's qualities in different directions. She has an even more grotesque appearance with more exaggerated features, and despite similarly priding herself as a threat, she's only a minor nuisance at best.
    • Some of Disgustilda's Hitcher influences are amplified by those from Banjo-Kazooie's Gruntilda. The two women share similar names, rotund, ugly appearances, and even filthiness. The latter is most frequently demonstrated by Disgustilda's cottage, which is always shown to be extremely run-down from the inside and out whenever it appears.
    • When she's first introduced in "Too Ghoul for School," Disgustilda is used to parody the antagonist of Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School, Revolta, and embody the criticisms Crafty has for her. The most prominent complaint is how irrelevant she is to her movie's plot in just about every respect, which Disgustilda represents by being thwarted almost as soon as she's introduced. Since then, however, this influence is never explored again, as Disgustilda's character goes in a very different direction.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Disgustilda holds disdain for Crafty and Crafty alone, and "I Need a Hero Academia" explains that it's because he stole her home. Since then, she's declared him her sworn enemy until she gets her castle back. The flashback detailing this event in her life is depicted like a comical silent film, which is emblematic of how facetiously the show treats the matter in general. Even Disgustilda doesn't take things too seriously; whenever she tries antagonizing Crafty, she always resorts to being mildly annoying at worst. By Season 4, she becomes more interested in what he's doing with his show than trying to inconvenience him, actively contributing relevant commentary in episodes like "Crafty Idol," "Kerchoo," and "The Villainous Turnabout." The lack of serious harm she causes is especially noticeable when comparing her to Doctor Mindstein, a genuinely threatening person who actively wants the Crafty Crew dead or subjugated to her.
  • Spikes of Villainy: She has spikes on her clothes, hair, ring, and her spine. The last scene of "LoveCrafty" even shows her using spiky yarn balls for her knitting!
  • Spiky Hair: Disgustilda's hair is woven into a bun, with spikes threaded into it.
  • Stylistic Suck: Disgustilda's pose set remains comically limited in her first few appearances, thanks to her being a gag character. When first introduced in "Too Ghoul for School," she is represented by a single still image bouncing up and down to emote, exactly like how guest gag characters are animated in Season 1. "Dumb Dingies" introduces three new poses for her to use... and they're merely edits of her first, changing her facial expression and the amount of clothing she's wearing, but not the overall pose. "I Need a Hero Academia" finally gifts her a proper expression set, coinciding with her promotion to a more rounded character.
  • Top Heavy Girl: Disgustilda has an utterly massive upper body, with large hands to emphasize the size further. Her legs aren't quite as large; they're also forced into a bowlegged stance to carry her weight, making them seem a bit smaller.

"No crime...is too small...for Jedah & Jedah!"
Voiced by: D. Tyler Fultz

The Distressed Lord of Death of Darkstalkers fame has moved on from ruling Makai to establish a law firm in the Dr. Crafty universe: Jedah & Jedah Law Services. The quality of his services is inconsistent at best, but he still manages to find work from people across the multiverse. Crafty cons him with internet memes in "Street Frighters," and since then, Jedah typically only partners with Crafty for the sake of easy sponsorship for his business. Otherwise, Jedah uses any trick in the book he can to screw with Crafty, as long as it's legal. Meanwhile, he also has a history with Crystelle, with them being college exes that parted on less than amicable terms.


  • Adaptational Comic Relief: The original Jedah is hellbent on resetting all of creation just to attain a perfect world. This one is a treasure-trove of Evil Lawyer Jokes motivated by greed, petty revenge, or both.
  • Adaptational Wimp: This take on Jedah doesn't participate in combat very often, if at all. He instead likes settling conflicts in court, using his skills and knowledge of the law to make people's lives worse. "Migraine Over Matter" showcases what happens if he's confronted outside of his element. The instant Crystelle raises her voice at him, he starts pleading with her to leave him be. He continues doing so as she teleports him out of the Qloset.
  • Amoral Attorney: As a lawyer, Jedah wants to maximize his profits above all else, often at the expense of his competency. This sentiment extends to his entire law firm. The Characafe shows that he's quite the wildcard, too, offering his services to Pepper at one point in "Best Skullgirl," then turning around and representing Scrooge McDuck when he sues Crafty in "Duck and Cover." Notably, his latter decision is admissible in court, but he clearly made it just to screw with Crafty some more.
  • Arbitrary Skepticism: According to Crystelle in "Return to the Qloset," Jedah has repeatedly attempted to disprove Crystelle's legitimacy as a psychic, failing every time. Ironically, they're old flames; during college, he got to know her personally and should be familiar with how her powers work. Plus, being a demon, he has his own magical abilities. Of course, whether he believes in Crystelle's powers is irrelevant; he's chiefly motivated by lingering anger about their breakup. Now, he's left grasping for any chance at payback, no matter how ridiculous that chance is.
  • Art Evolution: In his earliest appearances, Jedah was represented only by a single stock render of his from Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite. Starting with "Original Characters 2," Jedah gains a full set of original poses, drawn by Crafty just as the main characters' pose sets were.
  • Bothering by the Book: Jedah religiously screws with people by adhering to rules and regulations, oftentimes getting their hopes up before soundly crushing them with his lawfulness.
    • When Pepper's candy stash gets stolen in "Best Skullgirl," he swoops in to advertise himself to Pepper with a Rousing Speech... but he refuses to go after the thieves himself when prompted to. He's only a lawyer; he'd be overstepping his bounds if he took action then and there—action that other forms of law enforcement ought to be taking. Pepper begrudgingly accepts Jedah's answer and takes the loss.
    • In "Duck and Cover," Scrooge McDuck sues Crafty for using his name repeatedly on the show. Mere seconds after Pepper recommends his services again, Jedah appears and clarifies that, no, he's representing McDuck for this case, not Crafty. It's yet another attempt to get revenge on Crafty, but Jedah is operating within his rights. Just because he represented him in prior cases, Jedah's not obligated to support Crafty this time, especially not since Scrooge approached him first.
    • For "Migraine Over Matter's" final question, Crystelle is asked why Jedah cannot help the Crafty Crew take Mindstein to court. Jedah suddenly appears and rapidly recites a law—in depth—about why he cannot help on that front. To put it succinctly, upholding due process for Mindstein is a moot point, as she can put up quite a fight should anyone try and force her to attend a court session. Plus, she's inarguably, unabashedly evil; her criminal acts are so blatant that she'd be incarcerated on the spot, given the chance. After he finishes, Crystelle reveals that she was about to explain the same law, confirming it to be legitimate even if Jedah's just using it to justify his inaction.
  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: While he's imperfect and likes upholding his evilness first and foremost, Jedah is a competent lawyer; he's just at his best when he's spiting the Crafty Crew. He makes a sudden appearance in "Migraine Over Matter," where he cites an in-depth law explaining why he can't help the Crew take Dr. Mindstein (and supervillains in general) to court. Jedah's not weaving an elaborate lie—his answer comes straight from the legal documents in his hand. Crystelle even confirms that his answer is what she would have given before he interrupted.
  • Department of Redundancy Department: His law firm's name contains "Jedah" twice. According to his company slogan, shown in "Best Skullgirl," "[his] services are so good, [he counts] as 2 lawyers!"
  • Enemy Mine: When the Crafty Crew's castle is visited by Disney's lawsuit-hungry lawyers in "The Villainous Turnabout," Jedah steps up to the plate to ward them off. He acknowledges that he has no problem fighting on the Crewmates' behalf to do so, even though he's spent most of his time harassing them beforehand. His negotiations last for most of the episode, and he emerges from the confrontation tired, but victorious.
    [As Nurse and Crafty present the finished art piece for the episode, an exhausted Jedah suddenly joins them.]
    Jedah: Ahhh! Hoo...! It's done!
    Crafty: Jedah! How?! What?!
    Nurse: Oh! Welcome back, Jedah!
    Jedah: Indeed—*gasp*—I have returned in one piece... And to report that your legal problems are over!
    Crafty: How? How did you get out of here alive?
    Jedah: Oh, the resolution turned out to be quite simple, actually! I made them an offer they couldn't refuse.
    [A Cut Away Gag shows a Capcom building. Its logo is swiftly overtaken by a wrecking ball with a Mickey Mouse emblem. A Disney Logo just as quickly takes the Capcom logo's place.]
    Jedah: THAT'S for not making a new Darkstalkers game, you Mega-Morons! MYAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!
  • Obstructive Bureaucrat: After Crafty cons him in "Street Frighters," Jedah takes any chance he gets to screw with the Crafty Crew. He allies with anyone who wishes to sue Crafty as a means to get back at him, and he wishes to settle his beef with Crystelle by debunking her abilities in court. Meanwhile, when not dealing with people he has personal issues with, he can be generally unhelpful and blatantly self-interested. His competency as a lawyer is questionable, seeing that he's prone to using outdated judicial tactics, and he denies helping others if the task is technically out of his jurisdiction. His greeting to Pepper in "Best Skullgirl" sums him up quite well:
    Jedah: Good evening, madam; I came as soon as it was convenient for me!
  • President Evil: In "Funniest Characters," Jedah announces his bid to become President of the USA. He makes no attempt to hide his platform's malicious intent—rather, he's all too excited to demonstrate it. Amazingly, he still manages to win some support.
  • Shameless Self-Promoter: What keeps Jedah from being a full-on antagonist for the Crew is that he uses Dr. Crafty to sponsor his services. Occasionally, he'll interrupt an episode to hold an advertisement, often at the most inconvenient times.
    • Midway through "Fiction is Stranger Than Truth," Jedah forces himself into the Crew's castle to offer his services to any fictional characters upset with succeeding adaptations of themselves. Being an adaptation of an existing character, Jedah feels strongly about this issue; his anger about his existence slips out as Crafty and Nurse take back control of the show.
      Jedah: If you feel that you are under slander or identity theft, from clearly misguided writers, then call Jedah—
      [Crafty and Nurse appear to take back the show, pushing him off-screen.]
      Jedah: [hurriedly] —Like me and how HORRIBLY MISREPRESENTED I AM ON THIS SHOW!
    • "Funniest Characters" contains a unique advertisement for Jedah: here, he announces his campaign for the American presidency against fellow lawyer Phil Ken Sebben.

    Class 1-A 

Class 1-A

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/group_shot_6.jpg
Mindstein sieges Dr. Crafty's castle in "Magic Kingdom Mania," and she removes Crafty himself thanks to Screw punching him skyward. As luck would have it, Crafty ends up landing just outside of U.A. High School, Japan's most prestigious school for heroes in the making. For the duration of Hero Month, he recruits the entirety of Class 1-A to help take his castle back. Despite some misunderstandings about whether Crafty is a villain or not, along with some small conflicts here and there, the class is very willing to help Crafty out.
  • Badass Crew: The students of Class 1-A are just as capable here as they are in their source material. This is especially the case for Ida, Bakugo, Deku, Ochako, and Todoroki, who each play fairly large roles in "I Need a Hero Academia" Part 4's castle raid.
  • Dope Slap: Throughout "I Need a Hero Academia," Mineta is openly perverse whenever talking about the Crafty Crew's ladies (or women in general). Tsuyu uses her tongue to deck him in the face every time he says something out of line.
  • Jerkass: Bakugo spends most of Hero Month acting violently belligerent, both physically and verbally, towards his peers and especially towards Crafty, who mostly tolerates his behavior. However, by Part 4, Crafty finally has enough and chews out Bakugou, extending his complaints past Dr. Crafty and towards Bakugou's role in My Hero Academia.
  • Non-Standard Character Design: Everyone from the MHA universe retains all five fingers on their hands, just like in their source material. The Class 1-A students especially highlight this distinction throughout their interactions with the Dr. Crafty characters, most of which have Four-Fingered Hands.
