NOV8
In General
- Action Girl: Agents tend to get placed in peril a lot, with most agents being able to defend themselves and some even knowing combat.
- Always Female: NOV8 is made up entirely of women and girls as agents. No exceptions.
- Guile Hero: Well, considering NOV8 agents tend to use science, math, and engineering skills on their missions, among other things. Being a guile hero is pretty much a requirement in the organization.
McAlister Family
In General
- Alliterative Family: Everyone in the family has a name that starts with "M", which happens to match their surname: (Molly, Montana, Maddy, McKeyla, and Max.)
- Badass Family: Molly McAlister's the powerful head of NOV 8, her sister Montana occasionally stands in for her when she's busy on missions, and her two daughters Maddy and McKeyla are two highly trained and skilled agents with tons of experience in the field and in science. Even Max — who married into the family — gets his share of the action, despite not even working at NOV 8; He finds out about Bobby Stone's scam relating to Stone Water, gains some evidence tries in vain to expose him, only failing because it would endanger his family.

McKeyla McAlister
Played by: Mika Abdalla
McKeyla is The Leader of the group.
- Bad "Bad Acting": McKeyla's inability to keep up her facade when A.D.I.S.N. nearly blows her cover causes Camryn and Bryden to be suspicious of her.
- Brainy Brunette: McKeyla is very intelligent and has dark hair.
- Catchphrase: "I'm smart. Get over it."
- Cute Owl: McKeyla's favorite animal is an owl, and owls can be seen on many of her outfits. She also gets the Code Name "Owl" in season 4.
- Deadpan Snarker: Whenever the other girls get distracted or excited, she sarcastically quips about their situation.
- Friendless Background: Other than A.D.I.S.N., McKeyla doesn't have friends because she moved constantly.
- I Work Alone: Initially, McKeyla is reluctant to accept help from the other girls because she doubts their competence and dedication to being a spy.
- Jack of All Stats: McKeyla has no specialty in any of the STEAM fields because she's competent in all of them, having trained for NOV8 since she was young. Her doll does represent her as the "art" part of STEAM, however.
- New Transfer Student: She becomes the new student at Maywood Glen Academy.
- No Social Skills: In season 2, the Quail enrolls McKeyla into school and asks the rest of the girls to help out since she's socially awkward. McKeyla ends up creeping all of her classmates out by doing enough research on all of them to know every single detail.
- Only Sane Woman: McKeyla by far is very level-headed and the most serious about her work.
- Purple Is Powerful: McKeyla's favorite color is purple and her character is themed with that color. She's also The Leader of the group.
Main Agents
As a Group
- Alliterative Name: The main characters' names are all alliterative: Adrienne Attoms, Bryden Bandweth, Camryn Coyle, Devon D'Marco, and Ember Evergreen.
- Genius Ditz: Adrienne and Bryden are very skilled in their fields, but they tend to be very oblivious sometimes.
- Punny Name: All of the girls' last names have to do with their field of interest in some way.
- McKeyla McAlister: She's the Jack of All Stats of the group.
- Adrienne Attoms: Atoms are a crucial study in chemistry.
- Bryden Bandweth: Bandwidth is used in computer science.
- Camryn Coyle: Coils are sometimes used in mechanical engineering.
- McKeyla's initials make up a variable in Einstein's equation (E = Mc^2).
- If you combine Adrienne, Bryden, and Camryn's initials together, you get the variables for Pythagorean theorem (A^2 + B^2 = C^2).

Adrienne Attoms
Played by: Victoria Vida
Adrienne is a bubbly fashionista who moved from Spain due to her father's job.

- Spexico: Adrienne is from Spain (European), but her actress, Victoria Vida, has identified her as Latina (Latin American). In one experiment video
, Adrienne even celebrates with a dance and maracas, even though that's more of a Latin American thing than a Spanish thing.- Semi justified as Adrienne mentions having a Brazilian cousin and Vida herself is Brazilian. Adrienne is probably ethnically Brazilian but born and raised in Spain.

- Motor Mouth: Bryden tends to ramble and speak very quickly when her imagination gets the best of her.
- Playful Hacker: Since Bryden's specialty is technology, she's a competent hacker. To get into NOV8, she hacked into their server and replaced every monitor with a photo she took of McKeyla.

Camryn is an athletic and super smart Tomboy. She specializes in mechanical engineering.

- The Smart Girl: Even among a group literally made up of super-geniuses, there's bound to be an I.Q. that dwarfs everyone else. Sure enough, Camryn fits this mold

- Innocent Flower Girl: Ember is very friendly, and she is a botanist.
- Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Ember speaks with a Southern accent, but sometimes she loses her Southern drawl while talking. This is because her actress, Belle Shouse, naturally doesn't have that accent in real life. In her doll demonstration videos, she's Not Even Bothering with the Accent.
