Main Trio
In General
- Adaptational Skimpiness: The 2019 version has the trio end up naked every time they revert to human form for the sake of realism, though this does leave a Plot Hole as to where they get their extra clothes in contrast to the original versions where they transform with their clothes intact.
- A Form You Are Comfortable With: The whole point of the Trios transformations.
- Alien Blood: The trio bleed green.
- Dark Is Not Evil: More so to the originals looking like vampires while their monster forms look like menacing monsters, while the reboot makes them look normal with the elf-like ears being the only part less normal, but their monster forms are more menacing and corpse-like, but each version is still heroic.
- Foil: The 2019 adaptation has the trio develop different perceptions and motives with regards to the concept of "being human", becoming foils for each other.
- Bem wants to live out a satisfying life and be able end it off in a meaningful death.
- Bela wants to just be a normal girl, which is hindered by her inability to feel pain and taste.
- Belo, being The Cynic in this adaptation, could care less about physically becoming human and simply wants to keep being humanity's Mysterious Protector in the hopes that humans can eventually come to accept him.
- From a Single Cell: Where Bem, Bera and Bero came from.

Sonia Summers
Voiced by: Maaya Uchida (Japanese), Felecia Angelle (English)
- Action Girl: Being a cop, she naturally fits this role, though her impulsiveness nearly gets her killed on several occasions.
- Alliterative Name: Sonia Summers
- Ambiguously Human: At the end of Become Human, Bem had his soul transferred into her to revive her. Given how this is the very method for a monster to "turn human", and the ending scene shows her eyes now displaying a monster's Hellish Pupils, it's implied she now lives on as a fusion of the two.
- Badass in Distress: Ends up kidnapped by Manstroll and nearly mutated by Recycle in Become Human. She manages to escape by appealing to Recycle's desires to create humanoid monsters as a distraction by using the cop that was kidnapped with her as an example.
