Characters / Solar Opposites

The Solar Opposites

In General

The family (in a nutshell)

---

• Aerith and Bob: Two Aeriths (Korvo and Yumyulack) and two Bobs (Terry and Jesse). Interestingly, the trope seems to be in effect for the sake of further conveying that the former two dislike being on Earth, while the latter two enjoy it.
• Alien Among Us: They have been on Earth for a year since the series started. And they have absolutely ripped this trope apart since then.
• Aliens Are Bastards: The Shlorpians are seen as a nuisance at best by most of the neighborhood because they keep getting caught in the crossfire of their experiments, or getting experimented on.
  • It's revealed that all the galaxy views them this way because every time their homeworlds are destroyed (and it has happened a lot) they travel to another planet to terraform it regardless of the people that already inhabit them.
• Alien Blood: Shlorpian blood is blue.
• The Alleged Car: Their main mode of transportation, besides the hover platform and broken spaceship, is a white Toyota Prius III that gets increasingly battered down from various adventures as the seasons go on since Korvo never bothered to repair it properly with Sci-fi, either using duct-tape or leaving it as it is. Still, the car is in perfect driving condition in spite of the damages.
• Amusing Alien: To the viewers anyway. Not so much the people around them.
• Barbie Doll Anatomy: They have no genitals or even a rectum, but are occasionally shown to (somehow) participate in penetrative copulation according to Rule of Funny which is even lampshaded as being nonsensical by Korvo.
• Bizarre Alien Limbs: They have two pairs of extra fingers growing out of the side of their wrists (like branches of a tree)called abacadactyls; apparently, using them to count is considered childish.
• Bizarre Alien Reproduction: They mass reproduce by growing severed fingers in pots, like one would clone a plant, calling the resulting analogs to offspring replicants.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality:
  • They actually do show a moral compass and show varying degrees of wanting to integrate with humanity, but they don't seem to have a problem with Pupa eventually destroying the planet. They also resort to things like unleashing nanobot colonies in their town's water supply to spy on them and mind control to boost their approval in the neighborhood.
  • It turns out in the season 2 finale that they thought all the humans they’ve killed in the past several years would come back as trees, just like them.
• A Boy, a Girl, and a Baby Family: Parodied. Yumyulack and Jesse fit the mold of an older brother and younger sister, but they chose their genders arbitrarily after landing on Earth. The Pupa is a supercomputer meant to terraform the Earth but is usually treated as a baby the family needs to nurture (though it's lampshaded that they sometimes see him as akin to a pet).
• Comedic Sociopath: Sometimes they have a conscience. Other times not so much.
• Decomposite Character: The solar opposites seem to be a decomposite of Zim and Gir.
  • Korvo has Zim's focus to complete the mission, while Yumyulack has Zim's Hair-Trigger Temper to get back at anyone.
  • Terry and Jessie have Gir's fascination with human culture.
• The Dreaded: Season 3 reveals that much of the town lives in fear (and utter hatred) of them. Their psychotic behavior forces all of the jerks in town to act nice due to being afraid that they might anger the family and suffer a bizarre transformation as punishment.
• Extra Digits: They have "abacadactyls" (The "-dactyl" part meaning "finger" in Greek) which can be extracted from their wrists.
• Four-Temperament Ensemble:
  • Korvo: Melancholic. The most consistently dour of the family. He hates Earth the most and simply wants to complete the mission and leave.
  • Terry: Sanguine. He's perpetually optimistic and fun-loving, and the one most accustomed to earth culture.
  • Yumyulack: Choleric. The most actively antagonistic towards humans, developing the habit of shrinking adults he deems as deserving of it and putting them in tanks.
  • Jessie: Phlegmatic. She's the nicest of the Shlorpians, but it's peppered by reason (somewhat...) and something of a moral compass compared to Terry and Yumyulack.
• Humanity Ensues: If they act too human, the transform into humans.
• Humanoid Aliens: Green or blue skin, less hair, frog-like heads and faces, and Bizarre Alien Biology. But otherwise not too distinguishable from humans in body shape.
• I Am Not Shazam: Averted. At first, the title of the show doesn’t seem to indicate the aliens' names so much as a sci-fi twisted pun on "Polar Opposites". Yet, they continually refer to themselves as "The Solar Opposites" starting from season 2 and eventually use "Opposites" as a surname in season 4 onwards.invoked
• Jerkass Realization: In the season 3 finale they finally realize just how bad their behavior has been affecting the Pupa, and make an effort to become better for his sake.
• Law of Alien Names: Korvo and Yumyulack.
• Named After Their Planet: The Shlorpians came from the planet Shlorp.
• No Biological Sex: The Shlorpians don't have sex and gender roles, but can assimilate into cultures that have them and act accordingly.
• Obliviously Evil: Zig-Zagged, they can and will go out of their way to cause harm but sometimes it's more of a culture clash between Earth and Shlorp. In season 2, they didn't know that humans die differently to Shlorpians; when a human dies then they can't be resurrected and the body has to be buried or cremated. If a Shlorpian dies then their bodies regenerate into tree-like organisms where they can regrow their limbs.
• Plant Aliens: According to Terry and Korvo they don't go through any kind of maturation process like puberty. They grow to adult size before eventually turning into trees in old age. Also if they don't wash their hands they develop a fungal growth resembling a flower on their heads that releases euphoria-inducing pollen. In season 2 it’s established that they grow from seeds and Can regrow themselves from their tree forms.
• Protagonist-Centered Morality:
  • As season three shows, the Shlorpians are a species-wide case of this, deconstructing it to hell and back. Each and every member of these alien plant people sees no problem with dismantling and reforming entire planets, inhabited or not, all to save their species. The deconstruction part comes in where the entire species is treated as glorified 'varmints' by the rest of the galactic society because they've done this over and over so many times.
  • The Solar Opposites themselves are an intentionally exaggerated case. They're openly treating their lives like they were stars in their own TV show with everyone else as background or supporting characters. The deconstruction part comes in where all the 'main characters' treat everyone else, including their own family, as completely expendable with no regard to consequences or intelligent life.
• Shared Family Quirks: Aside from being the replicants of their respective "parents", Jesse and Yumyulack have a lot in common with Terry and Korvo the longer they spend on Earth as a family.
  • Jesse has Terry's optimistic, easy-going nature and love for all things Earth but also Korvo’s common sense and grounded personality which led her to develop a strong moral compass neither of them has. In addition, she is quite boy-crazy and openly and vividly fantasizes about her crushes paralleling Terry's active love and sex life with many of his flings alongside having an unexplained Minnesota accent even though she's from outer space to Korvo’s British one from season four onwards.
  • Yumyulack inherited Korvo’s apathy and Jerkass, vengeful behaviour towards humans (and anyone else other than him for that matter) and affinity towards sci-fi technology as well as Terry’s attention-seeking attitude and tendency to get into Zany Schemes to achieve such desires, embodying the more negative aspects of his "parents" to Jesse’s positive which is why Korvo and Terry tend to like him the least out of their kids. His stance towards Earth is similar to Korvo's as they initially find it beneath them and would rather move to an uninhabited planet but prove they are Not So Above It All when they gradually hate it less and even enjoy some of its nuances.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: Similar to their "parents", Jesse and Yumyulack have near-opposite personalities, with Jesse being a friendly tryhard optimist and Yumyulack being a militant grump with a Hair-Trigger Temper.
• Strong Family Resemblance: Yumyulack and Jesse have pretty noticeable resemblances to Korvo and Terry respectively. Justified because they're essentially clones.
• Sufficiently Advanced Aliens: Exaggerated to the point of parody with an A-plot even having Korvo using his advanced technology for an incredibly successful career in stage magic in "The Quantum Ring". Shlorpians have science so advanced they can do pretty much whatever the plot requires, bringing fictional characters to life, going into universes based on movies or even stock photos, and Transformation Rays of every kind you can imagine. Yumyulack actually dies and ends up in Hell in the Halloween special and spends the entire time mocking the demons' ineffectual tortures before being effortlessly resurrected when his body is discovered.
• Resurrective Immortality: When Shlorpians die their corpse blossoms into a tree they can regenerate from. The idea of death being final confused and terrified them.
• Transflormation: The season two finale shows that they turn into trees when they die and gradually resurrect back into aliens.
• Villain Protagonist: They are trying to restore their home planet and save their species but doing so involves mass genocide and terraforming an existing planet so it resembles their lost homeworld. Korvo and Yumulack appear to be the most straightforward examples as Korvo puts the mission before everything else and Yumyulack lacks any sense of ethics, whereas Terry and Jesse are more willing to assimilate into Earth's culture. In contrast, the two main subplots of the show feature more traditional heroes who suffer as a result of an initial action by one or more of the Solars.

Korvo

Voiced By: Justin Roiland (Seasons 1-3), Dan Stevens (Season 4 onwards)

---

• Aliens of London: From Season 4 onwards, Korvo has a British accent. This is justified in that he was not raised with the accent on his planet but simply given a new voice via a ray (Although it doesn't really explain why he suddenly uses British slang like saying "Bollocks" in the intro).
• Aroused by Their Voice: Terry says his new British accent in season 4 makes him feel "hot and weird".
• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: He may not express it but he does love Terry as his partner and will indulge in his adventures.
• Butt-Monkey: All of the alien family was subjected to abuse from either humans or each other throughout the show but Korvo gets the worst of it
• Character Catchphrase: "Shut the fuck up, Terry!" which also doubles as a Phrase Catcher.
• Cold Ham: He has a relatively cynical and analytical way of speaking but is also incredibly dramatic and tends to talk a lot when given the opportunity, and he's clearly Not So Aboveit All when engaging in absurdity like the rest of his family.
• Crazy Jealous Guy: Despite being in an open relationship, Korvo becomes increasingly uncomfortable and even aggressive towards the people whom Terry had flings with or is close to. This was evident in several instances like staying in an excruciatingly boring line because Terry's "line husband" Lineus showed up and then there was his reaction to the lady wearing one of Terry's t-shirts:
  Korvo: [Seething] Did you fuck him?!
  Lady: I totally would have but he said he was in love with some guy named "Crumbo".
  Korvo: [Unaware Terry is referring to him] WHO THE SHIT IS CRUMBO?
• Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of the Mad Scientist. Most of his scientific ventures cause more problems in the long run and he refuses to learn from them.
• Everybody Has Standards: Korvo was proud to be a member of a totalitarian regime, but only because he believed that every Schlorpian really was equal under it and everybody truly worked towards the greater good. When he learns of the secret hedonistic ruling class that contributed nothing to their society he's visibly disgusted.
• First-Name Ultimatum: Korvo would call Terry "Terrance" (Or "Terald" that one time) whenever he annoys him and reprimand Jesse as "Jessica" throughout the entirety of "Super Gooblers". However, in a twist, Terry and Jesse are already their actual first names and Korvo just made the full ones up to emphasize his exasperation with them.
• Green-Eyed Monster: The moment he sees Terry kissing Lineus, he explodes with anger and ditches an attempt to see Pupa fighting Godzilla to stay in the line with Terry.
• I Love the Dead: He had sex with human corpses.
• Insufferable Genius: Downplayed. While Korvo dabbles in science the most out of the family, he has an inflated ego that makes him think of himself as a genius, resulting in him making inventions that frequently go wrong and cause disaster. He also uses his intelligence to look down on others including Terry.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While Korvo admits that he dislikes humans and can be quite rude to them, he does try to socialize with them. He also does care about Terry despite constantly yelling and nagging at him as well as the replicants to a lesser extent and takes care of Pupa.
• Nervous Wreck: Korvo is very pessimistic and anxious about a lot of things. He tends to get stressed easily to the point of generating a red goobler, has trouble explaining the problems he has, and he cries whenever he feels greatly insulted and/or unappreciated.
• Not So Above It All: He’s the least rowdy out of the family. Comparatively. As much as he complains about humans and wanting to get off the planet, he’s still bothered enough by the fact that they don’t like him that he initiates schemes to do so.
  Korvo: I need to repair this Godforsaken ship! And if people don’t like us, that will make that job so much harder in so many ways! So to be clear I don’t need to be liked, it’s strictly a work necessity.
• Only Sane Man: He thinks he’s this, feeling that he’s the only one of the Shlorpians who wants to leave the planet. This doesn’t really mean much in general.
• Powerful People Are Subs: He’s the team leader but he expressed a desire for an assertive mate and he liked being put down by P.A.T.R.I.C.I.A. He also bottoms during sex with Red Goobler and implies he does the same with Terry.
• Real Men Wear Pink: He was seen wearing a frilly pink bathrobe in "The Emergency Urbanizer"
• Spock Speak: Downplayed. He has a constrained and more technical method of speech than his family, but he lacks the dispassionate tone associated with the trope and he's not alien to emotions like frustration.
• Stepford Snarker: Unlike his family, who adjusts fairly well to Earth, he covers the trauma of being forced to flee their home by trying to hasten Pupa's mission.
• Tsundere:
  • A type 1, non-romantic male example in regards to Earth. He showed a bitter and pessimistic opinion about Earth and its cultures but his closeted interests flare up from time to time with his sweet interior revealed when he was hit with a dumb ray.
  • He is also this to his partner, Terry. He often insults and degrades Terry's antics on his own, but also secretly cares for him more than he lets on, with a notable example being when he gets incredibly jealous when Terry has a "standing in line" husband, and the two have a whole Slap-Slap-Kiss dynamic going on.

Terry

Voiced By: Thomas Middleditch

---

• Affectionate Nickname: Sometimes calls Korvo "Korvy" and later other pet names like "Babe", "Boo" and "Honey" after becoming a couple.
• An Alien Named "Bob": An alien named Terry.
• Brief Accent Imitation: After Korvo got shot with the voice-fixing ray, Terry would occasionally mock his British accent while arguing.
• Character Catchphrase: "Looks like the Solar Opposites are [Insert activity or location for the episode]" starting from season 2 onwards.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Terry seems to have a loose grip on reality while on earth, believing that television characters like Fun Bucket actually exist and recreating many scenarios from movies including animated ones.
• The Ditz: Arguably the least intelligent of the family. Korvo acknowledges it and tries to shoot him with a smart ray.
• Dumbass Has a Point: In "Retrace-Your-Step-Alizer", Terry, after suffering through one too many revelations, refuses to believe that the events of the episode are actually happening as they are far too convoluted or convenient to be possible. As it turns out, Terry was right and he, Korvo, and Jesse were currently in a simulation.
• Endearingly Dorky: As immature and silly as he is, he's overall a bubbly and friendly sweetheart.
• Fun T-Shirt: He wears a different T-shirt in every episode with a geeky saying or pop culture joke on it. This is lampshaded in "The Pupa's Big Day" when Yumyulack receives a well-earned "Tough Fadder" t-shirt from completing a grueling obstacle course marathon:
  Terry: Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm "The T-shirt Guy", hand it over.
  Yumyulack: [Sulkingly hands the t-shirt over] I can be the fucking "T-shirt Guy" if you ever let me keep one.
• Good Is Dumb: Despite being a bit of an idiot, Terry is probably the second nicest one in the family next to Jessie.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Similar to Korvo, becomes easily jealous when he sees that Korvo is a fan of the Conductor from the Polar Express and gets enraged when he sees the replica of Korvo's past affair with Chris, acting bitter and passive-aggressive throughout the episode.
• Ink-Suit Actor: His human form in "The Unwanted Personification of Terry" resembles his voice actor, Thomas Middleditch... at least before Terry's hedonistic impulses drive him off the deep end.
• Manchild: While the show never reveals how old Terry actually is, he takes the role of one of the two adults in the house but he frequently behaves childishly. Case in point, he likes watching an educational children’s show called Funbucket, once threw a hissy fit when he and Korvo got new shoes with Korvo getting the cooler light-up ones and he acted like a complete frat boy in college. He is also shown to be easily distracted by ice cream trucks.
• Morality Pet: He brings the best out of his partner Korvo and tries to keep him on the straight and narrow.
• Oblivious to Hatred: He's initially the only one who doesn't notice that humans hate them.
• Phrase Catcher: The subject of Korvo's catchphrase "Shut the fuck up, Terry!" usually whenever he says or does something stupid.
• The Pollyanna: In contrast to the more cynical and generally unhappy Korvo, Terry is very outgoing and optimistic.
• Really Gets Around:
  • "The Lavatic Reactor" features a montage of him getting into bed with several college students... in the same bed he and Korvo sleep on no less.
  • Back on Shlorp, he used to have a lifemate named "Terri" but also many, many exes beforehand in spite of the planet's strict totalitarian rule.
• Unlimited Wardrobe: While everyone else wears the same clothes every episode, Terry always appears with a different nerdy shirt.

Yumyulack

Voiced By: Sean Giambrone

---

• Apologetic Attacker: He wasn't the attacker, his suit was. When he and Jesse were attacked by Neo-Nazis at a bar, it automatically generated blades and spikes that shredded a whole lot of them. Despite acknowledging that they were bad people and had no excuse for it, and were still attacking him, he was apologizing during the whole slaughter.
• Big Brother Bully: He zigzags between this and Big Brother Instinct. It doesn't seem like Yumyulack wants to be mean to Jesse as he will make you pay for hurting or threatening her, but Yumyulack is definitely not above teasing or straight-up verbally assaulting Jesse.
• Big Little Brother: Played with. He and Jesse were grown together and aren't really different ages but he has the attitude and stature of an older sibling. However, in "The Ping Pong Table," the Stacys refer to him as Jesse's younger brother and believe she should pick on him thusly despite his older attitude.
• Bounty Hunter: One of his professions.
• Charlie Brown Baldness: He has one strand of hair atop his head. And he actually fears losing it more than the possibility of being raped at a military school.
• Disproportionate Retribution: His justification for why he shrinks people is on the grounds that they usually deserve it. For example, Cherie, the Benihana chef, served Yumyulack shrimp which he didn't want and could have given him deadly allergies.
• Everyone Has Standards: He regularly shrinks people for minor reasons, but "The Unstable Grey Hole" shows that he is not okay with unnecessary murder. He's willing to kill, but only when the opposing party is trying to do the same. And even then he admits he doesn't like it.
• Genre Blindness: In "The Platinum Beyblade Burst 800 Takara Tomy Edition", he bets $50 that five teens from different cliques won't become friends in detention. He gets better after he and Jesse binge 80s teen movies.
• Greater-Scope Villain: By shrinking people down and sending them to the Wall, he indirectly creates the entire conflict for The Wall's subplot.
• He Knows Too Much: He'll shrink you if you've caught onto his misdeeds. Case in point what happened with the Janitor and he threatened to kill Linda for doing the same.
• I Love the Dead: He loves thirsty (and cut, and dead) birches.
• Ink-Suit Actor: His human form in "The Unwanted Personification of Terry" closely resembles his voice actor.
• Jerkass: It's hard for him to actually be nice to his sister and he isn't above shrinking people for no reason.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Is an A-hole at best and a psychopath at worst, but it's clear from his relationship with Jesse that he does have a heart.
• Kill Sat: The Season 2 premiere reveals he had built and launched one into space (With the added bonus of doubling as a Spy Satellite to ogle at sun-tanning ladies) which he was going to use to melt the Pod Kids for tricking him until Darrell showed up for his sleepover. While it's never shown killing anyone, it played a minor yet important role in two episodes where it was the reason why Glen got knocked out of orbit and the Silvercops plotline ever happened when it collided with the cryogenic pod Terry and Korvo launched him in "The Platinum Beyblade Burst 800 Takara Tomy Edition" as well as draining all the love from Earth in the Valentine's day special which indirectly led to a Planet of the Apes worldwide revolution but with parrots and Terry and Korvo officially getting married.
• Not So Above It All: In earlier episodes, he seems to be more of a comedic sociopath who is either disgusted or disinterested in Jesse's attempts to acclimatize to high school politics. As of season 3, he is as invested in earth culture as Terry and the majority of his plots revolve around his idolization of older boys and attraction to human girls.
• Oblivious to Hatred: Similar to Terry, he doesn't realize he's disliked and thinks people saying "Oh great" when he walks into the room is a compliment.
• Satanic Archetype: Due to his sadism and the fact he put everyone in the Wall in the first place, the Bowinian Church, who worship his sister, considers him analogous to Satan and refers to their version of Hell as "Yumyu-hell".
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Yumyulack tends to split off from his family’s adventures and do his own little side-plot if he thinks the episode is more ludicrous than usual:
  • Not wanting to engage in either radically-charged gender-politics story in "The P.A.T.R.I.C.I.A"^note Terry and Korvo built a "Manc Ave" and then a robot housewife programmed to hate the "Manc Ave" so they would want to stay there more while Jesse is trying too hard breaking the glass ceiling in a hyper-progressive society, he promptly buys a digeridoo and has an offscreen Australian themed adventure involving wrangling koalas back into the zoo.
  • He ditches Terry and his boring-ass line in "The Pupa's Big Day" to join a much faster line which ended up being a hardcore obstacle course triathlon which he very much enjoyed.
  • The reason why nobody bothers looking for Yumyulack or even realise his corpse was impaled on the backyard fence the entire Halloween special is because they thought he went to Florida again to get away from the holiday he most despises. When he was brought back to life, he was glad he missed the entire crypt keeper shenanigans the rest of the Solar Opposites dealt with.
• Shrink Ray: His hobby is shrinking adults that have at least slightly wronged him (or in one case, had a red shirt) and putting them in a glass enclosure embedded in a wall so he can observe them.
• Spikes of Doom: His suit releases this as a defense mechanism when Yumyulack is threatened, as a bunch of Neo-Nazis learn the hard way.
• Teen Genius: Is just as scientifically inclined as Korvo.
• The Un-Favourite: While Terry and Korvo's treatment of him, Jesse and Pupa depend on the episode whether good or bad, Yumyulack tends to be the least liked out of the three because of his Jerkass attitude, self-serving interests and tendency to go off on his own adventure without warning when even he thinks his family's usual shenanigans are too much.
  Terry: What about Yumyulack? He could have kept you company.
  Korvo: He's a narc and he chews too loud.
  Terry: Oh yeah, I know. He sucks.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: His shrinking humans and putting them in a terrarium encourages a minuscule dictatorship which leads to most of them dying in a flood to wipe out the rebels.

Jesse

Voiced By: Mary Mack

---

• Aliens of London: Has her voice actress' native Minnesotan accent, and is the only member of the family with a regional American accent. Lampshaded when Aisha at one point asks if Jesse was upset by someone asking why she has an accent when she's from space.
• An Alien Named "Bob": An alien named Jesse.
• Beware the Nice Ones:
  • In the pilot, she advises Yumyulack on how to smack the sides of a jar onto which Linda is clinging for dear life so as to knock the shrunken girl into acid.
  • After Korvo viciously puts her down throughout the entirety of "Super Gooblers", Jesse really lets him have it by giving him a well-deserved "Reason You Suck" Speech about her Anger-Repression Goobler eating everyone being all his fault, how they never have a story together because he's always so mean to her and to stop calling her "Jessica" because that's not her real name. Afterwards, she laughs off Korvo bleeding to death from running through a window and cutting his leg on the broken glass.
• The Dog Bites Back: In "The Super Gooblers," after Korvo spends the episode mocking her for no reason, she snaps at him to unleash her fury, destroying her "Anger Repression Goobler." She also gladly lets him bleed out after he runs through a window and cuts his leg on broken glass.
• God Guise: Unbeknownst to Jesse herself, the people of the wall have created a religion based around her because she gives them sweets and other stuff like clothes. They built a church and wore strips of pink, polka-dotted cloth from her dress as robes.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: Unlike her brother, she wants nothing more than to act like a regular girl, and not shrink people down and put them in the equivalent of an ant-farm.
• Nice Girl: Jesse is unambiguously the most kindhearted member of the family. She's kind towards practically everyone be it her family, regular humans and even the people of the wall.
• Pink Is Feminine: As the token girl, her default outfit is a white-polka dot pink dress with a pink bow on her head.
• Prefers Going Barefoot: As she says in "The Unstable Grey Hole":
  Jesse: I like humans, but I hate shoes. Like, how are we supposed to taste the ground?
• The Smurfette Principle: Jessie is the only female member of the Shlorpian family.
• Token Good Teammate: Granted Jessie is a member of a race that seeks to forcibly terraform Earth. But otherwise, she is the most kind-hearted member of the Shlorpian family, lacking their selfishness, amorality or prejudice towards humans.
• What, Exactly, Is His Job?: For the longest time, Jesse was the only one out of the Solar Opposites to not have her assigned Shlorpian job revealed in contrast to her family’s roles being mentioned several times with Korvo as the team leader, Terry as the (incompetent) Pupa Expert, Yumyulack as the bounty hunter and The Pupa as the planet terraformer. It isn't until the season three premiere that Jesse learns she is supposed to be "the Chronicler" and record their adventures every day which she fulfills by occasionally writing in a private journal from that point onwards.

The Pupa

Voiced By: Sagan McMahan and Liam Cunningham

---

• Ambiguously Evil: He's destined to cause the end of Earth and reform it for his Shlorpian family. With that said, Pupa comes off as more innocent than evil, especially compared to Korvo or Yumyulack. In fact, he's usually the only one willing to perform selfless acts to save regular humans.
• Apocalypse How: Class 6. One day he will inevitably evolve into his ultimate form, consume everything on Earth and then terraform the planet to become the new Shlorpian homeworld.
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The Pupa changes color when it reaches a developmental milestone. Though at least once it changed color solely from eating something.
• Comically Small Demand: Helps an old woman remember her mother’s face and all he asks in return is for her to open a childproof drawer containing some batteries and a Harry Potter whistle. The woman is obviously confused that Pupa would ask for so little. He does it again in the holiday special in which he reunites an estranged son from his family for which he asks the father to do the same.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Pupa is an organic computer but it is treated more like a baby that the family needs to pay more attention to.
• Extreme Omnivore: Seems capable and willing to eat anything that it can get into its mouth.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": According to the opening, there are several Pupae that have been assigned to a group. But despite this, he's only referred to as the Pupa or just Pupa.
• Hero of Another Story: While the rest of the family is mucking about, the Pupa may wander off on his own on an adventure.
• Hostile Terraforming: He's designed to turn Earth into a duplicate of Schlorp.
• Organic Technology: Unassuming looks aside, the Pupa is a living supercomputer that contains all information about Shlorpian society in his DNA. He's also a terraforming device, but only time will tell how he goes about that last bit.
• Pass the Popcorn: He can sometimes be seen watching and reacting towards the events that transpire in the Wall and more or less treat it like a reality show.
• Smarter Than You Look: He looks like and is the equivalent of a baby, and eats off anything he can find. If his Hero of Another Story tendencies are any indication, he's clearly much smarter than he lets on.
• Suddenly Voiced: The first season finale has him talking to an old woman, and the audience. It's unclear if this is a sign of his growth.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Season 1 shows this. Episode 2 had him casually maiming a guy to clone his leg to get candy. (It Makes Sense in Context.) In Episode 8, he gives an old woman the memories of her dead mother and politely asks if she can open a childproof drawer with batteries and his Harry Potter whistle.
• Wild Card: Terry pretty much states that he's unpredictable; he doesn't know when he'll evolve and will be off on his own doing something without the family paying attention.

People of The Wall

In General

• Disproportionate Retribution: Why some (implied to be most) of the people in the Wall are put there by Yumyulack:
  • Cherie, the Benihana chef, is punished for serving Yumyulack unwanted shrimp (he justifies this to Jesse by stating he could have died if he'd had allergies).
  • The (mouse) milkman was the CEO of AT&T before he farted in an elevator and blamed "the small blue alien boy".
  • Tim, shrunk at the end of episode 2, was taken because he was wearing a red shirt (Yumyulack claims he needs a red shirt to complete his collection of every color).
  • The Janitor was shrunk for deducing that Yumyulak shrunk people.
  • Other "crimes" include littering, taking 15 items at a 12-item lane, and mispronouncing "schedule".
• Humans Are the Real Monsters: While Yumyulack is the one that puts the people in the Wall, the ones causing the troubles are the people inside, which is best said by Tim in season 1:
  The aliens may have created the Wall, but it was the Duke who made it a prison.
• Incredible Shrinking Man: They have been shrunk by Yumyulack and forced to live in a connected terrarium.
• Mouse World: They are humans shrunk and put into a terrarium where they have created a society for themselves.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Some of the residents choose to go by nicknames, with their real names seldom being revealed.
• Rotating Protagonist: Whoever the focus is changes per season and focus episode:
  • Season 1 is about Tim's Protagonist Journey to Villain and the rebellion, which allowed him to seize power in the end. He would get another focus episode in Season 3's "Hululand" in which he seemingly escapes The Wall, but It's actually his Dying Dream.
  • Season 2 focuses on Halk and how he hunts down a Serial Killer while dealing with the trauma of the Nerds Avalanche.
  • Cherie is the focus of season 2 episode "The Unlikely Demise of Terry's Favorite Shot Glass", which is about her journey after surviving Tim's betrayal. She becomes the main protagonist of Season 3 and most of Season 4.
  • Nova becomes the focus of the Season 4 episode "The Re-Visibility Bouillabaisee", which revolves around her time with the Bowinian Church and her hope of convincing Jesse to bring her husband Halk back to life.
• Scavenged Punk: Their general aesthetic, taking mundane items of different sizes and using them as tools, weapons, armor and crafting material.
• Time Dissonance: As Tim puts it, "time moves differently in the Wall" to which Cherie initially believed that Jesse and Yumyulack can literally control time before Tim immediately clarifies that the consistent diet of candy and lack of clocks and calendars wreck everyone’s sense of time, comparing the phenomenon to Las Vegas. However, they can still keep track of their made-up holidays like Jesse's birthday and Cherie Day so time isn’t completely lost on them.
• Your Size May Vary: Their size varies from a few inches tall to being smaller than a pez.

The Janitor

First Appearance: "The Matter Transfer Array"

Voiced By: Tom Kenny

The first onscreen victim of Yumulack, appearing in the first episode "The Matter Transfer Array".

---

• Almighty Janitor: A literal case. He was a janitor but managed to deduce that Yumylack shrunk and lobotimized Lydia. After Tim was shrunk and sent into the wall, the Janitor saves him from some bandits. In the third season, he reveals he hunts mosquitoes and turns them into jerky to feed the upper levels.
• Decoy Protagonist: Considering he is the first person put inside The Wall, you would think he would become the protagonist of the story but he stops appearing once Tim appears until Season 3 which shows what he was doing.
• He Knows Too Much: He suspected that Yumyulack shrunk and later lobotomized Lydia, which is why he was shrunk.
• No Name Given: He is only known by his occupation before being put in The Wall.
• Zen Survivor: As the first person in The Wall along with surviving the various kinds of changes that transpired throughout it. He considers the best way to survive The Wall is through adapting yourself to the change, which he does by hunting mosquitoes to turn them into a source of protein instead of eradicating them all and ending their threat.

Tim (Unmarked Spoilers for Season 1 & 2)

First Appearance: "The Unstable Grey Hole"

Voiced By: Andy Daly

---

• Action Survivor: He hits almost every trait, he was a seemingly Average Joe who slowly became a hardened survivor.
• Alas, Poor Villain: Tim's last days of life are spent insane from guilt and lead poisoning. By the time Cherie and Halk find him he thinks they are both ghosts that are haunting him and is on the verge of death. He doesn't last too long after they take him to get medical help and ends up dying while dreaming of being the hero he always wanted to be.
• Ambiguous Innocence: It's unclear whether Tim's scheming against the Duke was just him trying to seize power from the start or legitimately wanted to make The Wall better only to decide it's better just to keep the status quo with himself in charge. In his final moments, he openly admits to having betrayed Cherie because he wanted to be ruler. Meanwhile, his Dying Dream implies that Tim initially and legitimately wanted to liberate the people of the Wall, but lost sight of his goal when the opportunity for power presented itself.
• Ambiguous Situation: In his Dying Dream, he seemingly recovers from lead poisoning and tells the people present that the glass in his office is a replica created by one of his men instead of a genuine lead-painted glass. However, it is hard to say if he is actually telling the truth, considering he said it in a dream and the fact that Sisto was able to identify exactly what poisoned Tim from just a glance at him, giving the implication that she poisoned him to take over.
• Anti-Villain: What Tim is in the end. He fully intended to be the good kind leader of the Wall but lost himself to the power of the role. He would regret most of his cruel actions and spent the end of his life isolated and guilt-ridden by his actions, while slowly and unknowingly poisoning himself with lead-contaminated water.
• Arch-Enemy:
  • He was this for The Duke during Season 1 being the person who rebels against his rule the most.
  • Tim becomes this to Cherie after he betrays and tries to kill her, where Cherie survives the murder attempt and vows to put an end to Tim's rule.
• Bad Boss: Downplayed. He was willing to execute his two henchmen, along with Ethan simply because they didn't handle the situation the way he wanted it. But the way they handled it was covering up his murders and allowing him to get away with it, making his actions seem relatively reasonable.
• Badass Normal: Like everyone else, he was just a regular guy until he was shrunk down and forced to fight to survive in the Wall.
• Beard of Sorrow: He grows an unkempt beard in season 2, and it's pretty clear that he's feeling grief over trying to kill Cherie.
• Believing Their Own Lies: One year after defeating the Duke, he believes that he had no choice to kill Cherie after she found out the hole to leave the wall, recollecting events that are inaccurate to make him look more like a victim.
• Big Bad: He could be seen as this for The Wall Story Arc as a whole. The end of the 1st season has him attempt to murder Cherie before taking power for himself, while The 2nd season deals with problems under Tim's rule.
• Covered in Scars: He has scars all over his body from his time in The Wall. From just trying to survive under the Duke's reign to being put in his prison and tortured.
• Dark Messiah: When he takes over The Wall’s leadership, he outwardly molds himself like Jesus, but is internally more corrupted.
• Decoy Protagonist: Downplayed. While he is the protagonist throughout Season 1, his Face–Heel Turn turns him into an antagonist and sets the stage for Cherie to become the true protagonist of the Wall for the rest of the arc. The only time he's in a protagonist role again is in "Hululand," which turns out to be his Dying Dream.
• Dream Sue: In his dream, he continues to envision himself as the hero, who managed to bring the Solar Opposites to justice, free the people of The Wall, win back Cherie's love and continuing to have adventures.
• Dying Dream: Tim dies dreaming that he liberated all the people within the Wall, got revenge on the aliens, and Cherie forgave and loved him again. He was unaware that he was really dying of lead poisoning and nothing he did actually happened, with Cherie cursing him for managing to weasel out of punishment by dying.
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Showcasing his sickness, he ends up getting very pale in Season 3.
• Evil Costume Switch: In the second season, during his journey of becoming a Dark Messiah, he ditched his La Résistance attire and began to dress up as Obi Wan Kenobi while growing his hair out.
• Eviler than Thou: Cherie seems to think so compared to The Duke, citing that The Duke made no effort to hide that he was a terrible ruler and died saving her life, while Tim manipulates people into trusting him and has no problem backstabbing anyone who may pose a threat to him. However, this seems to actually be inverted with Tim proving to be a far more fair and competent leader than Duke ever was.
• Face–Heel Turn: Right after finding out that the Duke escaped through a tunnel to the outside, he tries to kill Cherie to prevent her from revealing the tunnel's existence to keep the people inside. He then pardons all the Duke's surviving men and takes over The Wall's leadership, with implications that he won't be much different from the Duke. This is subverted when it turns out life under his rule is far better than it was under the Duke, although it is still built on lies.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: He was an ordinary guy prior to being important in the Wall. He would then lead a resistance against The Duke there and would take his place as the Wall's ruler.
• I Just Want to Be Special: Before, he was just an ordinary office worker. Inside The Wall, he became leader of the ressistance and a hero known by its inhabitants, which is part of the reason why he chose to conceal the hole and take over The Wall as its new leader especially considering how Cherie told him nothing matters anymore upon discovering the hole. This is also showcased in his dying dream in which he through various contrived circumstances ended up as the hero, who liberated the people of The Wall, punished the Solar Opposites by locking them inside of it and wins back Cherie's love.
• Jerkass Has a Point: He tells Cherie that anyone who escapes the wall would probably be eaten by an owl, which is pretty much what happens when the Duke and Cherie are almost constantly at risk of being eaten by giant animals the entire time they're outside. There's also no place they can get to since it took weeks for Cherie to get outside the yard.
• Manipulative Bastard: He manipulates everyone in the Wall into believing Cherie to be dead and making him their leader. Even when he tells Halk the truth, he sows the possible chaos of what would happen if the truth came out, leading to Halk to hiding it from the public much to Tim's delight.
• La Résistance: He creates one through his actions where he leads them to rebel against the Duke.
• Pay Evil unto Evil: His execution of Ethan of his two men, via encasing them in Magic Shell, was shown to be pretty horrific, but given that Ethan was a sadistic serial killer who murdered innocents while his two men proved to be very incompetent in handling the situation, it's hard to feel any sympathy.
• The Pig-Pen: His worsening mental illness causes him to devolve into this, with his office becoming absolutely filthy and unhygienic. Another thing Cherie chides him for, as Ringo at least kept things clean when he was in charge.
• Pragmatic Villainy: Life in The Wall has exceptionally improved under Tim's rule and everyone loves Tim for it. Of course, Tim could be doing this so that they would never want to overthrow him as they did with the Duke.
• Protagonist Journey to Villain: The 1st season focuses on him trying to survive in The Wall, before rebelling against The Duke and taking power from him, which corrupts him into becoming just as bad as The Duke.
• Raging Stiffie: To showcase the high he has from his Dying Dream he has a notable bulch, which can be seen through the blanket he was under from.
• Sanity Slippage: Over the course of season 1 he is thrown into a prison and sees several of his allies die, most of them being drowned by the Duke. This causes him to snap at the end of the season when he stabs Cherie to prevent people from knowing there is a way out of the Wall since it would lead to more deaths if they went outside. In season 2, the weight of thinking he killed Cherie has taken a further toll on his mental health, and he is relieved that he was able to talk to Halk about it. By season 3, his sanity has grown worse and fatal, as Tim has unknowingly drinking lead-contaminated water from a lead-painted glass cup for at least a year.
• Stalker Shrine: After taking over, he essentially turned The Wall into one for the lover he believed has died by his own hands.
• Thou Shall Not Kill: He tries to do this to differentiate himself from the Duke. He goes back on it when becomes clear the only way to beat the Duke is to kill his men and goes on to attempt to murder Cherie to make sure no one knows about the escape tunnel to the outside.
• Time-Passage Beard: He grows a beard while imprisoned by Duke.
• Unreliable Narrator: When he told Halk about when he killed Cherie, he claimed that Cherie snapped and the two had a fight. But as we saw, Cherie was pretty reasonable and Tim immediately stabbed her without giving her much room to speak.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: He was just a normal person who was shrunk and forced to live in the wall. When he first started the resistance he was a Nice Guy with a Thou Shalt Not Kill policy, but after the Duke murdered countless people he realized this wasn't feasible to beat the Duke's men. This also leads him to swiftly attempt to kill Cherie when he realizes that word getting out of a hole to the outside world would lead to more people's deaths.
• Villain with Good Publicity: By Season 2, everyone in The Wall loves Tim for being their ruler.
• Walking Spoiler: He attempts to kill Cherie and hide the truth that there is a way out of the wall, and later becomes the leader of the Wall after Duke.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Why he decides to hide the existence of a way out of The Wall, as he believes The Wall is safer than outside due to the fact everyone is tiny and the outside world is dangerous, as well as believing that The Wall gives people a better purpose than they had on the outside where they were usually random people. He also firmly believes that, if everyone works together, they can make The Wall a much better place than the outside, and so wants to use the belief that everyone is trapped in order to unify them.
• Whole Costume Reference: He starts dressing like Obi-Wan Kenobi in the second season.
• Worst Aid: If getting your veins filled with contact lens solution isn't this, what is? Although going by the end of the season, this action was very deliberate on Sisto's part.

Cherie

First Appearance: "The Quantum Ring"

Voiced By: Christina Hendricks

---

• Action Girl: A clearly better fighter than Tim and great with knives. Upgrade to an Action Mom after giving birth to Tim’s daughter.
• Adrenaline Makeover: Went through this having her hair changed into a half-shaved style, having her clothes tattered and later on gaining a tan when transversing the outside.
• Audience Surrogate: As one of the most recent victims put in The Wall during Season 1, she needs Tim to explain about how things in The Wall work and how much they developed from the beginning.
• Chef of Iron: Her skills with knives is justified as her being a Benihana chef.
• Covered in Scars: Has scars all over her body from her time in The Wall.
• Desecrating the Dead: Once Tim dies she spits on his corpse for taking the easy way out and later on hangs it on her statue to show it to the people of The Wall. Considering how personal his betrayal was to her, it is hard to blame her.
• Determinator: Cherie simply will. Not. Give. Up. but this mindset has become a major Deconstruction over time. When they discover Tim will be dead in a week from unknowingly drinking lead-poisoned water, Halk suggests that they just go and let him die, but Cherie insists that they capture him and get him medical attention so they can bring him to justice. Ironically, they end up accelerating his death as Sister Sisto poisons him with contact lens solution, robbing her of her chance of bringing him to justice.
  • It all comes to a head when she decides to kill all the mosquitoes to protect Pezlie. Halk and the Janitor try to tell her that doing so will take away one of the only sources of sustenance for the Wall, however, Cherie's too stubborn to listen to reason. This ends up with Halk sacrificing himself and one of the Wall's sources of food being destroyed.
  Halk: Jesus, Cherie, how many more people have to die because you have to nuke every threat?!
  • It goes even further in Season 4 when she tries to convince the council to go on a mission to Sisto's side since she's lowering the temperature. Unlike Halk, they refuse to budge since they can see that she's too emotionally invested in it, and they even point out the fact they're risking their peace if they do such a mission and that the Game Boy is keeping their side warm. Unable to take "no" as an answer, she uses a Coke and Mentos bomb to destroy the device to finally convince them. When her allies find out and turn on her, the resulting chaos nearly kills Pezlie and causes her to realize that she's too much of a liability to the Wall.
• Disney Death: She's apparently killed by The Duke by being thrown down the Boo-Hoo Hole. She gets cut up but survives. This happens again after she is stabbed by Tim and thrown out the Duke's tunnel to the outside. Notably, unlike other deaths, her body is not seen hitting the ground.. She was later revealed to have survived the betrayal too.
• Dramatic Irony: She thinks that the Wall has turned into a hellhole with Tim in charge. When she finally goes back, she is surprised to see people happy and the floors clean.
• Due to the Dead: She has been hailed as a hero of the war and immortalized on a mural and with a holiday as of Season 2.
• Dying Moment of Awesome: The official story is that she and the Duke killed each other.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: In Season 4, she finally manages to rescue Pezlie from Sisto and decides to leave the Wall for good, living happily with her daughter in a village outside of the house with Montez.
• Et Tu, Brute?: She rescues Tim and sleeps with him. He returns the favor by betraying and stabbing her to hide the exit to the outside. She survives while pregnant with their baby.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: Her Tomboyish Ponytail is changed into a half-shaved style when building a rebellion against the Duke. It turns into a Motherly Side Plait after giving birth to her daughter.
• False Flag Operation: When her allies on the other side of the wall within the wall refuse to authorize her mission behind Bowinian lines even after they learn that Sister Sisto has been turning town the thermostat, she deliberately sabotages the Game Boy they're using for heat and makes it look like the Bowinians did it in order to get approval.
• Fiery Redhead: She has red hair to match her tough and strong spirit.
• Imperiled in Pregnancy: Tim stabs her in the stomach and throws her off the hole in the Wall in the very early stages of pregnancy then has to spend the first months stuck in a toy spaceship under the threat of getting eaten by a possum and on her way to the Wall she almost gets seen/eaten by Jesse when Cherie is forced to give birth in a PEZ dispenser.
• Important Haircut: In "Terry and Korvo Steal a Bear", she shaved half of her hair.
• It's Personal: While Duke is the cause of the suffering of The Wall people in Season 1, her grudge against Tim is more personal considering how much she trusted him before he stabbed her in the back.
• Made of Iron: She has survived many ordeals that would have normally killed an average human woman in real life as so far, she survived falling down the Boo-Hoo hole, being stabbed in the abdomen by Tim, falling down the hidden exit of the wall, and surviving a harsh winter all while having to deal with being pregnant. It's a miracle she hasn't miscarried.
• Mama Bear: She will do whatever it takes to protect her daughter. Deconstructed as said under Determinator, as she's willing to destroy all the mosquitoes despite them being a good source of protein for the upper levels, because of a potential threat to Pezlie. In season four, she even destroys the main heating source of the Wall because the higher stakes will convince the council to let her go rescue Pezlie from the Bowinian side.
• "Not So Different" Remark: The janitor remarks that taking things in her own hands to destroy the mosquitoes despite the protein being required to feed the upper levels makes her not so different to Tim and the Duke.
• Older Than They Look: She looks like she could be anywhere between her mid-twenties to early thirties. However, it's implied that she might actually be a lot older than that going by an offhand comment from Cherie herself about how she was "banging hot dudes in the nineties", which would place her at the very least in her late thirties to early forties.
  Halk: Wait, you were banging in the nineties? How old are you!?
• Revenge: The more one looks into her character, the more it's clear that her reasons for bringing down Tim are more for revenge than for justice and truth.
• Revenge Before Reason: When she and Halk discover that Tim will be dead in a week from lead poisoning, the latter suggests that they just cut and run and let the poison do him in, but the former insists that they kidnap him so that he can be aware when they bring him to justice. Halk tries to dissuade her, but Cherie stubbornly refuses, and suffice to say, when she convinces him to do so, things end up backfiring big time.
• Pop-Cultured Badass: She's surprisingly knowledgeable about pop culture, most notably being able to identify the Aliens vs. Predator ship that she and the Duke hide out in. As a Benihana chef, she also knows a thing or two about the Aoki family who are the heirs of the chain, most notably DJ Steve Aoki and actress Devon Aoki.
• Pregnant Badass: In season 2, She got pregnant from her previous sexual encounter with Tim. This doesn’t slow her down and manages to survive in a harsh winter and later gives birth in a Pez Dispenser.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Believing her presence to be too big of a liability for the other residents and realizing that Pezlie will inevitably be used again as a political tool for another would-be tyrannical ruler, Cherie decides to leave the Wall for good with Montez after successfully rescuing her daughter from Sisto.
• Struggling Single Mother: The father of her baby, Pezlie, is also her attempted murderer who eventually dies himself, and much of Cherie's arc from Season 3 onwards involves trying to raise and protect Pezlie from the rest of the Wall while also searching for sustenance and fending off new dangers. This has taken a severe emotional toll on her, especially when the church kidnaps Pezlie for their own purposes.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: The further her arc progresses, the more drastic measures she takes to ensure the safety of her people. In season 3, despite Halk pointing out the mosquitos could provide a decent source of protein if properly maintained, she tried to slaughter them all to ensure the infestation would never get out of hand. Most drastically, in season 4, she destroys the Game Boy providing heat to the Wall to frame the Bowinians for sabotage, just to ensure the council would let her go to the Bowinian side so she could save Pezlie.
• Yank the Dog's Chain: She heads out to a Wallgreens to get help only to find out it was just a billboard and there's nothing there except a shack with several aggressive dogs leashed to it.

Pedro

First Appearance: "The Quantum Ring"

Voiced By: Andrew Matarazzo

---

• Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Pedro winds up begging the Duke to give insulin for his diabetic father Enrique. The Duke does hear out his pleas and gives the insulin before beheading him with a floss pick as punishment for causing a riot.
• All for Nothing: While he does manage to get the insulin, his father joins the Duke and in Season 2 is executed by Tim.
• Small Role, Big Impact: He dies after his debut, but the riot he started sparked the resistance against the Duke, and his execution convinces Tim take action.

Enrique (Unmarked Spoilers)

First Appearance: "The Quantum Ring"

Voiced By: Miguel Sandoval

---

• Ain't Too Proud to Beg: After Tim takes over the Wall, Enrique begs for Tim's mercy. Fortunately, Enrique isn't punished for his treachery and is forced to work under Tim.
• Asshole Victim: Tim coldly kills him along with Ethan, but given that he was covering up Ethan's murders and even killed an innocent man to place the blame on, it's hard to feel sorry for him.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: He, along with Sonny and Ethan, is executed in Magic Shell for abetting Ethan's murders.
• Death by Irony: His first scene is him eating an M&M (A piece of candy made out of chocolate). His last scene is being covered by Magic Shell (A chocolate syrup that hardens into a shell when exposed to cold, such as ice cream).
• Face–Heel Turn: He betrays Tim and Cherie, and works under the Duke because he blames Tim for causing Pedro's death. Even though the Duke is the one who literally had Pedro murdered to make an example of him, Enrique states that it was Tim’s fault for dragging Pedro to his death.
• Fat Bastard: He is fat and diabetic who backstabs Tim to the Duke and then later foolishly covers up Ethan's murders.
• Moral Myopia: He blames Tim for his son Pedro's death, and works for the Duke against Tim, even though he knows it was the Duke who directly ordered Pedro's execution.
  "You killed my son. The Duke might have pulled the trigger, but you dragged him into this whole thing."
• Outliving One's Offspring: He loses Pedro, who is executed by the Duke for causing a riot.
• Too Dumb to Live: He is first seen snacking on an M&M despite having diabetes in a place with no insulin. This could be exused by the lack of resources, but he won't even drink any water and his son Pedro points out he is eating just to eat. He later covers up Ethan's murders which leads to Tim executing him.
• Walking Spoiler: Twofold. In season 1 he joins with the Duke against Tim. In season two he is revealed to have been covering up Ethan's murders and is executed by Tim for it.

The Duke / Ringo

First Appearance: "The Quantum Ring"

Voiced By: Alfred Molina

---

• Alas, Poor Villain: His death via Heroic Sacrifice in the second season.
• A Lighter Shade of Black: At the very least everybody knew what he was and he didn't disguise himself as a benevolent leader, and as far as Cherie is concerned The Duke is a better man than Tim. Especially after the man gave his life to save hers.
• Arc Villain: He's the main villain of The Wall's serialized Story Arc during Season 1.
• Arch-Enemy: He serves as this to Tim, being the person who rebels against the Duke's rule the most.
• At Least I Admit It: He claims that at the very least he didn't hide his actions behind a benevolent mask, unlike Tim.
• Dirty Coward: He was willing to flood The Wall and kill everyone inside there just to buy some time to escape. Subverted in Season 2 where he sacrifices his life to save Cherie.
• Dying Moment of Awesome: He manages to get one of these in the second season by blowing off a possum's head.
• Enemy Mine: He and Cherie strike a truce in season 2 while trapped in the backyard. In time, he admits he wasn't a good person and sacrifices his life to save her.
• Evil Overlord: He serves as this for The Wall, becoming a cruel dictator that oppresses everyone else in there. He's even explicitly compared to The Duke of New York by Tim and Cherie.
• Fat Bastard: He gets a more stout appearance in "Terry and Korvo Steal A Bear", and is still a sadistic tyrant. He gradually loses it in season two due to roughing it in the backyard symbolizing his Heel–Face Turn.
• Faux Affably Evil: He acts cordial and reasonable until you break his rules or challenge his authority.
• Formerly Fit: In his first introduction, The Duke is shown to be quite fit and muscular. As time went by, The Duke is shown to gain a noticeable amount of fat, with his shirt stretching over his stomach.
  • Formerly Fat: He slims down a little in season two. Living off plants and insects will do that.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: Both Tim and Cherie comment that The Duke was probably just an average Joe before getting shrunken down and sent to The Wall where he becomes the de facto tyrant there.
• Hate Sink: The Duke is a vile and tyrannical monster whose only purpose is to receive ire from the audience for all the atrocities that he commits. And unlike the antics caused by the aliens, none of the Duke's actions are ever Played for Laughs. This is immediately reversed in the penultimate episode of season two; he and Cherie gradually form a bond while trying to survive in the backyard, and he admits that he was a horrible leader after he ultimately sacrifices himself to protect Cherie and her unborn child.
• Karma Houdini: While the Duke gets overthrown by Tim and Cherie, he does manage to escape from The Wall and suffers no further consequences for his atrocities. In the second season, his luck runs out.
• Kick the Dog: The first thing he does is order Pedro decapitated for accidentally starting a riot.
• Knight of Cerebus: There's nothing funny about the Duke and the show becomes much more serious whenever he appears. Although that gradually lessens.
• No Name Given: He's never been given an actual name and is only referred to as "the Duke". His first name is revealed in season two: it's apparently Ringo.
• Non-Action Big Bad: He never takes direct action, usually having all of his men do his dirty work and flees once the rebels breach his quarters.
• Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: He constantly claims that everything he does is to keep peace and order in the wall, when it is pretty clear that he only cares about maintaining power for himself.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Subverted. The Duke seems like one as he's willing to trade Pedro insulin for his diabetic father, only to behead Pedro and later try to drown everyone in the Wall while he escapes.
• Redemption Equals Death: After initially hating each other, The Duke and Cherie ultimately bond while hiding from an angry possum mom inside a toy AVP spaceship. He ultimately dies by sacrificing himself so Cherie can escape with her unborn child to find a better life, and admits in his final moments that he was a horrible leader and he hopes what little good he did can make up for it.
• Red Herring: It's mentioned that Yumyulack shrunk one human for having a British accent and seeming to mispronounce "schedule". With Alfred Molina playing him, you'd expect the Duke to be British. Nope; he has an American accent and we don't know why he was shrunk.
• The Sociopath: Has all the trademarks of one, which includes being a charismatic manipulator, and capable of committing mass murder without any remorse whatsoever.
  • Subverted in Season 2, where he grows to genuinely care for Cherie and expresses remorse for what he admits as bad leadership. He sacrifices himself to save her and her baby in hopes that it makes up for some of what he's done.
• Trumplica: Not so much in appearance, but a lot of his mannerisms are similar to Trump's. This is most noticeable in episode 7 when he is giving Jesse's Birthday speech.
• Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: While Solar Opposites isn't exactly "saccharine", it's notably Lighter and Softer compared to Rick and Morty. That said, the Duke stands out as one of the darkest villains that Justin Roiland has ever created, having no humorous, redeeming, nor sympathetic qualities to detract from his villainy.
• Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Right before he's overthrown by Tim and Cherie, the Duke escapes through a secret tunnel to the outside of The Wall.
• Villainous Glutton: It's subtle, but towards the end of his appearances in Season 1, his shirt visibly gets more stretched over his stomach. Although he loses it gradually in Season 2, signifying his Heel–Face Turn.

• The Beastmaster: In Season 3, Steven had bred and tamed an army of mosquitos.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: He is covered by melting wax and burns to death painfully.
• Friend to All Living Things: He notes he always had a connection with animals, having befriended a mouse when he was in the Wall, and then later commanded an army of mosquitoes.
• Moral Myopia: As revenge for his mouse being killed in the revolution, he seeks to murder at least half of the Wall.
• Not in This for Your Revolution: He did not want to get involved in Tim's rebellion against the Duke and wanted to stay out of trouble. But after Molly died in the flood caused by the Duke, Steven joined the rebellion and even saved Tim's life from the Sheriff.
• Sudden Sequel Heel Syndrome: He appears as a villain in season 3, after participating in the Revolution, driven mad by the death of his beloved mouse.
• Tragic Keepsake: Steven wears Molly's bow as a sash.

Halk

First Appearance: "The Earth Eraser"

Voiced By: Sterling K. Brown

---

• Broken Pedestal: Halk is very shaken to find out that Tim isn't the hero he claims to be after learning the truth from Ethan and Tim himself.
• But for Me, It Was Tuesday: A heroic version. He doesn't recognize Ethan as one of the people he saved from the nerd avalanche since he rescued so many people.
• Closest Thing We Got: He becomes the detective in charge of solving the serial murders in The Wall just because he was a former writer on Bones. He actually does a pretty good job and manages to solve the case.
• Heroic Sacrifice: He sacrifices himself to save Cherie from the mosquito queen by dragging the mosquito in the Boo Hoo Hole. Whether he actually died is unclear since Cherie has survived a similar fate twice, the first time falling into the exact same hole Halk fell into. Season 4 confirms that he did.
• Insistent Terminology: Bones did not have a "joke room." They had an innuendo room.
• My God, What Have I Done?: He is left horrified to find out that if he hadn't saved Ethan from the Nerds avalanche (which Ethan caused), then Ethan's murders wouldn't have happened.
• Shell-Shocked Veteran: He is treated as a war hero by the people for all the rescues he did during the revolution, but he still thinks he should have saved more people and still has nightmares about it.

Ethan

First Appearance: "The Apple Pencil Pro"

Voiced by: Jimmi Simpson

---

• A God Am I: Believes himself to be a god after he survives his failed suicide attempt.
• Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Spends his last moments begging for his life. In fact, after he's coated in Magic Shell, his body freezes in a begging position.
  "No, no, no, Tim! I can stop killing! I am better now!"
• Arch-Enemy: He's one for Halk, given that Halk has been pursuing Ethan for the serial murders throughout Season 2, along with the reveal that Ethan caused the Flooding of The Nerds, which killed countless more people and traumatized Halk.
• Asshole Victim: While Ethan's fate at Tim's hands was very gruesome it is also easily deserved given that Ethan was a deranged Serial Killer who tried to blackmail Tim in the first place.
• Ax-Crazy: Hands down the single most psychotic character in the show.
• Arc Villain: Of Season 2 for The Wall Story Arc.
• Big Bad Wannabe: While definitely a dangerous threat, Ethan thinks that he can call the shots in The Wall, believing that Tim will let him kill people out of fear that he'll blurt out his secret. This proves to be Ethan's undoing, as Tim kills him to keep his secret safe.
• Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To The Duke, in several ways. The Duke was an Evil Overlord with vast resources, whose influence expanded to the entirety of The Wall, while Ethan was a lowly Serial Killer with little resources, whose influence only spread to a limited amount of people. The Duke started off selfish and unsympathetic but after working together with Cherie to survive outside The Wall, he grows to care for others and dies saving Cherie's life after admitting regret for his past actions; Ethan had great self-loathing for himself and his urges, and tried killing himself, but after being saved by Halk, he became a remorseless murderer with a god complex who dies begging to be saved.
• Dirty Coward: Ethan has killed many defenseless people, but when faced with actual confrontation from authorities, his first instinct is to run away. When he's about to be executed by Tim, all Ethan can do is beg for his life.
• Driven to Suicide: He quelled his murderous urges by rock climbing. As The Wall has no rocks to climb, he had no outlet to relieve this. He tried to commit suicide by causing an avalanche of Nerds candy.
  • Bungled Suicide: But he was saved by Halk.
• Eye Scream: Is blind in one eye and has a nasty scar over it as a result of the injuries he sustained in the avalanche.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: Was a rock climbing instructor before being shrunk and added to The Wall, where he became a Serial Killer that terrified the community with his murders.
• Hypocrite: Claims that he started the Nerds avalanche to kill himself because he didn’t want to be a murderer, despite the fact that said avalanche ended up killing hundreds of people.
• Sadist: Given the horrific state that his victims are in, its clear that they suffered horrendously before he killed them.
• Serial Killer: Has already killed several people by the time he's introduced.
• The Sociopath: Ethan needs constant stimulation, shows no remorse in killing innocent people, and has a god complex to suffice his own ego.
• Smug Snake: He's an essential part of Tim's operation in The Wall, being the one who goes on supply runs for him. This makes him extremely confident that he'll get away with his crimes even if he's caught.
• Then Let Me Be Evil: Originally, he didn’t want to kill anyone, and tried to commit suicide to escape his murderous urges. After being saved, however, he fully embraces them and starts horrifically butchering the people of The Wall.
• Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Even worse than the Duke mentioned above. He is a sadistic and bloodthirsty serial killer without a hint of humor to his character.
• Villainous Breakdown: He believes that Tim will let him go free because he knows about the hole to the outside and can blackmail Tim with the knowledge. Once he realizes that Tim intends to execute him, however, his smugness immediately evaporates and he starts pleading for his life.
• Villainous Cheekbones: Has very pronounced cheekbones and is extremely villainous.
• White Hair, Black Heart: Has white or platinum blonde hair and is the most evil character seen on the show so far.

Pezlie

First Appearance: "The Unlikely Demise Of Terry's Favourite Shot Glass"

Voiced by: Kari Wahlgren

---

• Birthmark of Destiny: Invoked. Pezilie gets branded by Sister Sisto, a Jesse cult leader as part of her "baptism".
• Disappeared Dad: Her father never learns of her existence, as Tim tossed Cherie out shortly after Pezlie's conception, and when Cherie finally made it back, Tim was dying of lead poisoning.
• Improbable Infant Survival: She survived and appears to be healthy even with her father stabbing her mother in the abdomen and thrown off the hole in the Wall, two harsh winters (one of them as a newborn with little to no clothes), her mother's insect-based diet and lack of medical attention when Pezlie was still a fetus and now as a newborn with still no access to proper medicine and having to feed on a mix of breast milk and mouse milk.
• Meaningful Name: Cherie gave her the unique and brand-like name of Pezlie because she was born inside a PEZ dispenser.
• Messianic Archetype: Invoked for drama. Sisto kidnaps her and reveals her to the Wall against Cherie's wishes, claiming Pezlie to be a gift from Jesse and even naming her "Jesse-ious." The church uses Pezlie's existence to rally support, posting stained-glass images of Jesse cradling Pezlie a la Mary and Jesus, and even baptizing the public with the contents of her diaper. However, they do not value Pezlie beyond her worth as a symbol, branding her painfully with the church's bow symbol and keeping her locked up and crying when not using her for sermons and baptisms.

The Muck People

The survivors from the flooding of The Wall who traverse through the muck-like remains of the bottom levels and acquired a taste for human flesh.

---

• Asshole Victim: Nobody is mourning them after half of them are killed by Cherie’s group and the other half, including Platinum Stevie, are eaten by mosquito larvae.
• Ax-Crazy: None of them come off as being too sane, especially their leader Platinum Stevie, with all of them being violent cannibals.
• Body Horror: The majority of them are severely disfigured due to having lived in and eaten almost nothing but muck for so long.
• Faux Affably Evil: Platinum Stevie, their leader. At first, she’s pretty understanding and happily accepts Halk’s offer of having a seat on the Wall’s new council until she decides overnight that she’d rather eat Cherie’s group and everyone else on the upper levels despite her claiming that she would’ve upheld the deal to lead Cherie’s group to the power supply and that the offer of the council seat was pretty good.
• I'm a Humanitarian: They secretly turn Joe Sanders, one of Cherie’s group members who went with her and Halk to the power supply in the lower levels, into a stew the morning after their first meeting. Platinum Stevie also reveals that she has plans to kill and eat everyone on the upper levels, floor by floor.
• Karmic Death: A group of cannibals who are eaten alive by mosquito larvae.
• Mole Men: They have shades of this. They’re a faction who live in the lower levels that were abandoned and left to rot after being flooded by the Duke. Adding onto that is them living in total darkness and being excellent tunnellers. Although it’s pretty evident that living in and eating almost nothing but muck for as long as they have hasn’t been kind to them physically or mentally.

Garth

First Appearance: "The Mobile Aisha Emitter"

Voiced by: Darren Criss

A man who grows dried cranberries (or at least pretends to).

---

• Decoy Protagonist: Garth initially served as the protagonist of season 4 until he is executed by Montez at the command of Sisto.
• He Knows Too Much: He notices the Wall is getting colder and tries to warn Sisto about it. Unfortunately, he finds out directly from Sisto that she is responsible for it as part of her plans to take the entire Wall. Since he knows too much, Sisto orders Montez to kill him.
• Neck Snap: Garth is executed this way by Montez.

The Bowinian Church

The Bowinian Church (Unmarked Spoilers)

• Corrupt Church: They come across as this in the first season, refusing to give insulin to Pedro. After being taken over by Sisto, they end up backstabbing Cherie to steal Pezlie to basically make her into a Puppet King and kill non-believers over the slightest faults.
• Off with His Head!: Under Sisto's tyranny, the Church displays the heads of executed nonbelievers and dissidents on the wall that separates them from the "heathen" side.
• Psycho Pink: The church incorporates strips of cloth from Jesse's pink polka-dot dress in their outfits and wear pink bows but are incredibly corrupt in nature which is most prominent when Sister Sisto takes over and prepares a crusade with a league of devoted coin-minted soldiers to slaughter every heathen non-believer in the Wall for her own personal gain.
• Physical Religion: They worship Jesse who gives the Wall's inhabitants food and other supplies.
• Secret-Keeper: They alongside Halk help to keep Cherie and Pezlie hidden from Tim, having realized how corrupt of a ruler he really is. It's subverted by the end of the season, when Sisto takes over and reveals Pezlie to the rest of the Wall as a Messianic Archetype to gain power.

Sister Sisto

First Appearance: "Edamame Duffle Bag"

Voiced by: Sutton Foster

---

• Arc Villain: She is the main antagonist of the Wall subplot in Season 4.
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Sisto brags to Nova that after all the lies and deaths she has caused, she will sell her story to Simon & Schuster for $5000.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Sisto claims to be an innocent follower of Jesse's teachings, putting on a loving front for her sermons like any preacher would. However, she's really exploiting the church for her own gain and considers the Bowinian principles laughable.
• False Prophet: Sisto claims to speak directly to Jesse, with her instruction allegedly being Jesse's teachings. In reality, she's taking advantage of the Wall's need for guidance to make herself the most powerful person there.
• Foreshadowing: In Season 3, there are quite a few red flags directed towards her. For one, she was somehow able to immediately identify exactly what had been poisoning Tim from just a glance at him. Then there's her accelerating his death by filling his veins with contact lens solution, all the while brushing off her mistake like it's nothing. By the end of the season, it's all but stated that she assassinated Tim to assume power with intentions of making Pezlie into a Puppet King after usurping the original head of the church while Cherie was away.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: She was an offscreen resident of the Wall who lived through the reigns of both The Duke and Tim before deciding to seize power for herself at the first opportunity.
• Karmic Death: After exploiting the Wall's worship of Jesse to quench her own lust for power, Sisto is killed when Jesse herself accidentally stomps on her.
• Kick the Dog: She can be quite cruel even when not asserting her power. When she reveals her true intentions to Nova, she makes sure to rub it in that Jesse would never revive Nova's "loser husband" even if she could.
• Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Sisto claims she only targets "heathens" and kills "non-believers" to appease Jesse, the Wall's God. However, she doesn't actually speak to Jesse and only kills people to maintain her own power, with her true intentions being to take over the entire Wall with no regard for lost life.
• Nun Too Holy: Sister Sisto appears to be another innocent nun, but she kills her superiors and takes over the church to give herself more power using a False Prophet guise.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When her plans to take over the Wall fall apart as there is no way to stop the freezing, Sisto abandons what's left of her followers to die in the cold and escape the Wall. However, she is soon crushed to death by Jessie.
• The Sociopath: Not unlike the Duke in Season 1, Sisto is a charismatic manipulator who's willing to go to any length to retain her power, even extreme child abuse and mass murder, without any shred of remorse for her actions.
• The Starscream: It is implied that Sisto killed the original head of the church to take over.
• Would Hurt a Child: She brands Pezlie's forehead at the end of season 3.

Nova

First Appearance: "The Earth Eraser"

Voiced by: Kari Wahlgren

---

• Ascended Extra: She was only a Satellite Love Interest who acts as Hank's motivation for seasons 2 and 3 but season 4 changes that when she becomes a much more prominent character and the new leader of The Wall.
• Broken Bird: After the death of her husband she becomes a wreck who allows herself to be manipulated by the church. She eventually breaks out of it when Sisto revealed her lies in front of her.
• Do Not Call Me "Paul": After joining the church as a nun, she fervently insists that her name is Sister Blista. But after Sisto revealed her lies to her and tried to kill her, she changes her name back.
• Turn to Religion: Following the death of her husband Halk, Nova falls into despair until Sister Sisto gives her hope that Jesse can bring him back and devotedly follows the Bowinian Church as "Sister Blista". Even though she finally sees Sisto's true colours, Nova still believes in the teachings of the church, helped when Jesse answers her prayers and turns the temperature up in the Wall, and uses them to truly make the Wall a better place as its newest leader.

Montez

First Appearance: "The Mobile Aisha Emitter"

Voiced by: Carlos Alazraqui

---

• Breaking Old Trends: Montez is the first male Deuteragonist to Cherie's protagonist to not die in front of her and survive the whole season following the deaths of The Duke, Tim and Halk in seasons 2 and 3.
• Bruiser with a Soft Center: He serves as Sisto's top merciless enforcer, but his frightening demeanor is a facade; he has a fatherly soft spot for Pezlie, and tries to warn Nova and Garth to stay away from Sisto.
• The Mole: He acts as this for the other side of the Wall.
• The Starscream: A benevolent example. He is working as a mole for the "heathens" and is opposed to Sisto.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He decides to leave the Wall with Cherie and Pezlie.

Animals

Molly the Mouse

First Appearance: "Terry and Korvo Steal a Bear"

A mouse that lives in the Wall taken care of by a man named Steven. She provides him with milk to trade at the market.

---

• Artistic License – Biology: Mice can hold their breath for several minutes rather than several seconds, and swim for days. Unless Molly deliberately drowned rather than find a way out, she shouldn't have died after forcing the hatch closed.
• Face Death with Dignity: When Stephen returns to the farm to save Molly the mouse, he tragically learns that Molly can't fit and must stay behind so everyone else can survive. Molly appears to accept this by moving away from the hatch and leaving her bow for Stephen to remember her. She swims over to see him one last time before kissing the glass reassuringly and drowning peacefully.
• Nice Mice: A mouse who is an absolute sweetheart.
• Rodents of Unusual Size: Played With. She is a normal-sized mouse but is a giant to the inhabitants of the Wall.
• Sacrificial Lamb: She is killed in the episode where she is introduced to give a face to the victims of Duke's flooding.

Mosquitoes

• Artistic License – Biology: Are depicted as having skulls and toothed jaws, something real-life insects notably do not have.
• Big Creepy-Crawlies: Played With. They are normal-sized mosquitoes but they are giant, blood-draining monsters to the Wall's shrunken inhabitants.
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: One of the ways they kill people is by impaling them with their proboscis.
• Mosquito Miscreants: A swarm of mosquitoes that are capable of sucking all the fluids out of the body of any shrunken person.

School

Principal Cooke & Ms. Frankie

First Appearance: "The Matter Transfer Array"

Voiced by: Rob Schrab (Principal Cooke) and Kari Wahlgren (Ms. Frankie)

The principal and a teacher respectively from Jesse and Yumyulack's school.

---

In General

• Jerkass Has a Point: They are jerks, and in any other setting they would be wrong for discriminating against the outcasts. If said outcasts didn't regularly harm everyone around them with their technology.
• Power is Sexy: They really get off on disciplining the kids in a forceful manner, and will start having sex over it at the drop of a hat.
  • Ms. Frankie takes the chance of domming Korvo as that was one of his 'fulfillment' quests.

Principal Cooke

• Abusive Parents: His father discouraged him from following his dreams and outright told him that he wished that he had been miscarried.
• His Name Really Is "Barkeep": As shown in "The Gargoyle Ray", his first name really is "Principal" since his father had named him that as an indicator of the role he wanted him to have.

Ms. Frankie

• Hypocrite: Became one in "The Apple Pencil Pro" when she said that she framed the aliens to make them "pay for their crimes" yet she committed crimes in that episode and gets off scot-free.
• Jerkass: Ms. Frankie spends most of her screen time being very mean and angry with the aliens as she often yells at and punishes Jesse and Yumyulack even when they are just minding their own business.
• Karma Houdini: Ms. Frankie tortured Peter the mutant pig and framed the aliens for animal cruelty. She gets away with these crimes, is never found out about it, and receives no punishment other than accidentally killing her accomplices. While the Solar Opposites on the other hand truly believe they tortured Peter and ended up suffering a Fate Worse than Death public punishment.
• Manipulative Bitch: Became one in "The Apple Pencil Pro" when she schemed to frame the solar opposites for the crimes she committed. She somehow convinced two people to help her, psychology conditioned Peter into falsely accusing the aliens by wearing masks of their faces and indirectly manipulated the aliens into believing they did the torture by planting the barbecue prizes in their house.
• New Job as the Plot Demands: "The Fog of Pupa" reveals that besides her teaching job she's a DEA agent, a storm chaser, and drives a forklift for the mob.
• Pet the Dog: When Korvo (Doing various suggested fulfillment before he 'dies') calls her out for Jerkassness she admits that fair.
• Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Despite working as Jesse and Yumyulack's sully teacher and most of her appearances are at school, she isn't shown teaching or setting foot in a classroom at all. However, Yumyulack implies in "The Apple Pencil Pro" that Ms. Frankie is a history teacher.
• Sadist Teacher: Miss Frankie likes to discipline Jesse and Yumyulack a lot, especially for minor things. She even gets aroused from disciplining them to the point where she has sex with the principal over it. After getting her hands mutated by Yumyulack, she gets back at him by framing not only him but his entire family for animal cruelty instead of having him expelled from school.

Ms. Perez

First Appearance: "The Booster Manifold"

Voiced by: Natalie Morales

Jesse's hippie social studies teacher.

---

• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Never appeared again for the rest of the series after season 1. However, she did make a voiceless cameo in Season 4's "The Ping Pong Table".
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Zigzagged. She gives Jesse and the girls a hard assignment in class. Yet when Jesse admits she's struggling as her guardians are fighting a killer robot, with Ms. Perez in the crossfire, Ms. Perez tells her if she stops the robot, she gets an A since said killer robot is a lady. Jesse does so, and aces that assignment.
• Two-Teacher School: The only other teacher we've seen onscreen besides Ms. Frankie although she isn't nearly as prominent as her.

Lydia

First Appearance: "The Matter Transfer Array"

Voiced By: Gideon Adlon

---

• Asshole Victim: Lydia was indeed a victim of abduction and torture by Yumyulack but he did it because Lydia was being a huge bully to him and Jesse.
• Bullying a Dragon: As it turns out, bullying aliens with shrink-ray guns wasn't the brightest idea.
• Too Dumb to Live: She kept making threats to Jesse and Yumyulack even after the latter shrunk her. She still taunted them with the possibility of jail while in the middle of having her brain tinkered with, her skull cap cut open and all even after she talked them out of dissolving her in acid to hide the evidence of what they had done. She's really lucky that they're not actually malevolent.

The Stacys

First Appearance: "The Booster Manifold" (Stacy K. and Stacy F.), "The Ping-Pong Table" (Stacy G.)

The popular girls in school who are all named Stacy. Can you guess how they got their name?

---

• One-Steve Limit: Averted if you cannot tell by the group's name.
• Only Known by Initials: Out of necessity, The Stacys are distinguished by their last name initials which include Stacy K., Stacy F. and Stacy G.
• Unseen No More: After only being mentioned once by the other Stacys in season 1, Stacy G. finally makes an appearance three seasons later in "The Ping Pong". Guess she gave up looking for Slender Man in the woods.

The Pod Kids

First Appearance: "The Booster Manifold"

The popular boys in school, who make their own podcasts and wear Air Pods. Again, it won't take too many guesses to figure out where their monikers come from.

---

• Bait the Dog: In the Season 2 premiere, they seem to be more open-minded and say they'd be glad to attend a party thrown by Yumyulack...but it was all a lie meant to keep him from going to their party. If anything, they're meaner to him than ever when he confronts them for leading him on.
• Rhyme Theme Naming: Aiden, Braiden and Jaiden.

Silvercops!

In General

First Appearance: "99 Ships"

An intergalactic police force who use silver to build their suits and create whatever objects their imagination allows. They are enemies to the Shlorpians because of their habit of violently terraforming every single planet they come across.

---

• Dirty Cop: Lampshaded when one of them rebuts a plea that they're the good guys with, "What part of 'cop' don't you understand?"
• Expy: Of the Green Lantern Corps, even pointed out to them by their newest recruit. To wit, their powers function exactly the same, down to reciting an oath inside a battery to recharge their suit. Elements of Silver Surfer are also present, since some like to surf and they also all look a lot like the Silverhawks.
• Hero Antagonist: They're not perfect but considering their enmity towards the Shlorpians for terraforming inhabited planets, they're not fully wrong in being merciless to them.
• Jerkass Has a Point: They engage in racial profiling of the Shlorpians, but considering they literally nurture creatures that destroy planets, they have every right.
• Morph Weapon: Their silver suits work by morphing into whatever weapon they can imagine.
• Only the Pure of Heart: Silver Suit function on purity. Subverted when it turns out that it takes years of experience to use them.
• Jurisdiction Friction: Like the Green Lanterns, there are other organizations with similar capabilities. They have an animosity towards the Goldcops.

Glen

First Appearance: "The Platinum Beyblade Burst 800 Takara Tomy Edition"

Voiced by: Kieran Culkin

---

• Disproportionate Retribution:
  • When Terry accidentally but lightly grazes his elbow on his expensive, customized Honda while trying to catch the autographed vodka crystal skull bullet he and Korvo mistakenly shot into the air, Glen explodes at them, treating it like they had completely wrecked his car, and proceeds to pettily get back at them no matter what over this perceived slight. This includes slapping at them to obstruct their view, firing several more bullets in the air and even knocking Terry down with his car on the basis on not respecting "car culture".
  • Of course, he is on the receiving end of the trope when the bullet painfully shoots through his foot and bleeds profusely on the driveway since he didn't allow Terry and Korvo to catch it and the two had to shoot him into outer space to avoid persecution.
• Dramatic Irony: One of Glen's driving motivations to go back home on Earth is to see his beloved car again, unaware that it was towed away for being in the driveway "way too many Mondays" right before the Silvercops plotline began proper.
• Foil: He serves as one to the inhabitants of the Wall where their undesirable situations are directly caused by two of the Solar Opposites using their sci-fi technology on them to evade consequences (Yumyulack and Jesse with the shrink ray for the wall and Korvo and Terry with the cryo-chamber for Glen) and have their own narrative-driven sub-plots surviving in an unfamiliar dangerous world under harsh living conditions but with stark differences as followed:
  • The Wall people often get shrunk down for incredibly petty reasons and/or perceived slights by Yumyulack until Jesse convinces him to cool it and choose people actually deserve it, but the majority were relatively good, ordinary people who unluckily found themselves in the same dystopic miniaturized boat. The list includes Cherie who was doing her job as a Benihana chef but got a wrong order of shrimp that Yumyulack claims he could be allergic to and Tim whose crime was wearing a red shirt so he can complete his collection. Glen, however, is a prime candidate for The Wall as the car-obsessed, grade-A douchebag he is. Even though Terry and Korvo were only causing a minor inconvenience even by their standards of catching a stray bullet on his driveway that could have easily damaged his precious car, Glen treats this as a personal attack to the point of knocking Terry down with his car just to distract them. However, the two were willing to let this slide since the bullet eventually landed on his foot but Glen kept insisting that he was shot by them even though it was an accident and entirely on him for not letting them catch the bullet, so they had no choice but to shoot him into orbit in a cryogenic chamber until the statute of limitations expired.
  • Jesse and Yumyulack play an active part in the Wall as their benevolent god and Satanic Archetype respectively since the former gives the shrunken people food, medicine and other supplies necessary to make survival possible while the latter is the one responsible for shrinking them inside the Wall in the first place and kept going after Jesse loses interest such that residents even built an entire religion surrounding the two. In contrast, Terry and Korvo completely forget about Glen after shooting him into outer space other than the fact that they don’t have a cryogenic pod anymore since this was just one of many, many instances where a particular human gets on their nerves and was punished accordingly with the rest of Glen's story having nothing to do with the two at all.
  • The Wall has been around since the very first episode as a popular C-plot with its storyline prominently peppered throughout multiple episodes in between the episodic adventures of the Solar Opposites and has an entire focus episode per season. The Silvercops plotline started around the midst of season 3 with much less screentime as a D-plot compared to the Wall and at most half an episode per season. In terms of character focus, the Wall has a large Ensemble Cast with the protagonist rotating depending on season or episode while the Silvercops is solely on Glen’s point of view.
• Too Dumb to Live: Despite Terry and Korvo's warning of a stray bullet into the air, he not only ignores the warning, but for extra measure also rams Terry away and rubs it into his face, while standing in the same spot Terry was standing on to catch the bullet, which caused him to get shot in the foot.

Shlorpians

Terri

First Appearance: "The Retrace-Your-Step-Alizer"

Voiced by: Tiffany Haddish

Terry's lifemate back on Shlorp and his previous science partner before he was reassigned to Korvo.

---

• Birds of a Feather: Terry liked Terri for her free-spiritedness, promiscuity and how she didn't conform to Planet Shlorp’s totalitarian rule just like his free-spirited, promiscuous and non-confirmative self. Also, she has the same name as him but with an "i" instead of a "y".
• First Love: She was Terry’s devoted lifemate before his eventual husband Korvo came into the picture combined with her likely demise from Shlorp's destruction.

The 99 Ships

First Appearance: "99 Ships"

The other 99 ships who escaped Planet Shlorp before the asteroid hit. Like the Solar Opposites, each ship consists of a team/family unit of two adults, two replicants and a pupa, all with the same goal of terraforming an uninhabited planet with their pupa.

However, either circumstances beyond their control or their own incompetence make it a lot harder to terraform than expected...

---

• Accidental Murder:
  • Team 66's bounty hunter unintentionally killed his teammates when his suit activated its defense mode while fighting over the TV remote, impaling all of them to his horror.
  • Team 71's impromptu dance party resulted in their ginormous subwoofer speaker toppling over and crushing their pupa to death. The Solar Opposites actually learn and apply this lesson to save their pupa in time from a falling TV and speaker afterwards.
• Aliens of London: Team 64’s Pupa Specialist has a noticeable cockney accent while arguing with their team leader as well as one of the leaders whose team was eaten by a t-rex expresses his regret in a stereotypical Italian accent.
• Bickering Couple, Peaceful Couple: The dynamic between the leader and Pupa Specialist is akin to a married couple but can vary from team to team with Team 1 being the prime example of the perfect idyllic couple and Teams 63 and especially 65 being total dysfunctional junctions at opposing ends of the spectrum.
• Distaff Counterpart: Team 63 acts nearly identically to the Solar Opposites as they are stuck in a similar situation of being stranded on an already inhabited planet for six months. The team includes a no-nonsense, easily angered leader who wants to repair the ship and get the hell out of there to complete the mission like Korvo as well as a sassy, easy-going Pupa Expert who is always in conflict with her like Terry with their replicants and pupa doing their own thing. However, the two's dynamic is more in line with Terry and Korvo during season 1 when they were'’t together yet and the latter was colder and more hostile. The similarities stopped once Team 63 gets eaten by a giant bird all of a sudden.
• Dropped a Bridge on Him: A Running Gag is how many teams that were doing well suddenly got eaten by a T-Rex. Aisha points out that because they were carnivores and Shlorpians are Plant Aliens, there was no practical benefit to it besides apparently being dicks.
• Dysfunctional Family:
  • Team 63 acts as a Distaff Counterpart to the Solar Opposites in season 1, being stranded on an inhabited planet for six months, especially with their aggressively fun-hating leader and sarcastic, easy-going Pupa specialist.
  • Team 65 had landed on a Beaver planet where the pupa specialist eventually lost it when the last jar of his favourite snack Narbo Nuts went missing. After he accuses the leader of eating them and her apathetically replying that they taste like "sploof", he tears down the dam they all live in and declares his hatred over the planet, the itchy beaver robes and especially her. In retaliation, the leader threatens him with a doomsday device if he doesn’t shut up, but the pupa expert childishly shouts accusations over and over to which she explodes the entire planet just like that. The worst part is that the escalation was completely unwarranted as Aisha revealed the Narbo Nuts were just way back in the cardboard.
  • Team 67 was the most twisted of them all when the replicants gleefully murdered their "parents" and pupa with ray guns while shouting "Die, die, die!" before proceeding to passionately make out in front of their corpses. The Solar Opposites, who were mostly blasé about other teams' grisly fates throughout the story, are left both entirely speechless and horrified.
    [Beat]
    Jesse: ...I got nothing.
    Yumyulack: That was fucked.
    Aisha: [Reassuring them] They were the only ones who did that.
• Feuding Families: Teams 69 and 70 landed on the same Dr. Seuss-esque planet and with neither side willing to leave to another planet, it led to a showdown where both sides quickly were wiped out in the crossfire.
  Team 69’s Leader: This is our planet and we’re gonna raise our pupa to terraform it.
  Team 70’s Leader: No way! We landed here first; our pupa is going to do the terraforming!
  Team 69’s leader: Let me introduce you to my friends, [Raises fists] "Not" and "Today" [Raises leg] "Sons".
  Team 70's Leader: SUCK MY MOUND!
  Both Teams: RAWRRRR!!! [All-out brawl ensues]
• Irony: The two teams before Team 69 exhibit behaviour more commonly associated with the number as Team 67’s replicants were so horny that they killed their adults and pupa before making out in front of their corpses while Team 68 act like trashy stereotypical frat bros who would be the type to laugh at that number.
• Killed Offscreen: Team 86 was killed by DC superhero Superman which for copyright reasons can’t be shown like the rest of the deaths, so we have to take Aisha’s word for it.
• Muscles Are Meaningless: All of Team 22 are obsessed with bodybuilding and working out, resulting in being jacked as hell including their pupa. Alas, their well-toned muscles and six-packs are no match for the mighty T-rex who devoured them all in a flash.
• Noodle Incident: One of the teams somehow ran afoul of Superman and were killed by him, which goes unshown for copyright reasons.
• No Name Given: Almost all the team members were never named since why bother when they go out so fast.
• The Reveal: After Team 1 managed to successfully terraform their planet without incidence, it then skips ahead and shows Korvo and Terry living there, greatly confusing the Solar Opposites. Aisha then reveals the 99 ships were from the previous planet Shlorp 30 years prior to the current home world being destroyed. Meaning that planet Shlorp had been obliterated by a meteor and the surviving Shlorpians terraformed a new one for countless generations across the entire universe akin to an invasive species of mold. This is why the Silver Cops considered the Shlorpians as their mortal enemies, arresting teams and detaining their pupas on sight, and also brings up the possibility that there could be more than one planet Shlorp right now.
• Uncertain Doom: The teams who were arrested by Silver Cops and had their pupas detained were not seen dead by the end of the story but was implied that it doesn’t end well for them given the latter’s brutality and how they despise the former’s terraforming culture.
• The Unreveal: Only 99 teams had their fates revealed since The Solar Opposites thought they were the hundredth team until The Reveal of the teams was from the previous batch before their Shlorp. It can be assumed that Team 72 is the one missing since it was entirely skipped over during the death montage and it's unknown whatever happened to them.
• Your Head Asplode: Team 68 got the case of varmints who made them act like trashy frat bros before suddenly and violently exploding their heads from the inside out.

Others

Non-Humans

Aisha

First Appearance: "The Quantum Ray"

Voiced by: Tiffany Haddish

The ship's AI, represented as a blue holographic sphere, who acts as the family's guide.

---

Funbucket

First Appearance: "The Matter Transfer Array"

Voiced by: Rob Schrab

The fictional host of a children's show brought to life by Terry and Korvo to hang out with them. Unfortunately, he soon grows tired of the pair's overbearingness and ditches them for a pair of "bros".

---

• Body Horror: Accidentally merging with the "Funbucket 2" that the Solar Opposites made after he ditched him turns him into a gigantic, mutated abomination that spews acid, has several mouths with jagged teeth all over his body, and has his guts partially hanging out. Hitting him with a shrink ray only turns him into a smaller, less dangerous form but still with several deformities.
• The Dog Bites Back: After being forced to hang out with Terry and Korvo and more or less being treated like their sidekick, he ditches them at a club for a pair of "bros" who treat him like an actual friend.
• Fusion Dance: Played for Horror. In the second half of the first episode, he accidentally fuses with Funbucket 2 and creates a gargantuan monstrosity that goes around destroying the city.
• Jerkass Has a Point: He's very quick to turn on Terry and Korvo after he finds real friends to hang out with, mocking them and getting them thrown out of the club, but considering that the Solar Opposites had up to that point abused him and treated him like a sidekick/slave, it's hard to feel sorry for them.

The Nanobots

First Appearance: "The Unstable Grey Hole"

Voiced by: Alan Tudyk

The nanobots Korvo created to gather information on the neighborhood before turning sentient and run against him and Terry for president of the neighborhood H.O.A.

---

• Hive Mind: Foreshadowed by Korvo in the beginning who warns that letting the individual nanobots clump together would cause them to form sentience. When such an event eventually happens, they refer to themselves as an individual but acknowledge that, yes, they are made up of millions of tiny waterborne nanobots.
• Nice Guy: Despite being, you know, a horde of privacy-invading nanobots, they're actually quite friendly.

P.A.T.R.I.C.I.A.

First Appearance: "The P.A.T.R.I.C.I.A Device"

Voiced by: Wendi McLendon-Covey

A robot created by Korvo, designed after annoyed, sit-com sassy moms to act like a mother/wife chastising them for their new man cave.

---

• A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Korvo programmed her to hate man caves and unfortunately, this escalated to her destroying every man-cave she could find and then specifically killing all men as well.
• Accent Upon The Wrong Syllable: She pronounces and spells man caves as "manc-aves" since Korvo who programmed her also does the same due to a mistake.
• Deadpan Snarker: With input from Terry, Korvo programmed her with the personality traits of annoyed mothers from TV sitcoms including Everybody Loves Raymond, Gilmore Girls and The Golden Girls.
• Fun with Acronyms: P.A.T.R.I.C.I.A. stands for Patricia Automated Television Retro-fitted Intelligent Companion In Action.
• Kill All Humans: At first she was only killing men. Then to almost make matters far worse, Jesse (as part of a feminist assignment she took too far) tells her that being a Killer Robot is something she should be happy with, and she decides on this trope right before Terry incapacitates her.
• Killer Robot: The worst part is that it was completely unintentional as Korvo just found it hard to build her without any weapons.
• Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She verbally tears down Korvo, and nurtures both Terry and Pupa. They all love it.

Peter

First Appearance: "The Apple Pencil Pro"

Voiced by: Tim Robinson

A pig seemingly engineered by Korvo to be a perpetual source of barbecue ribs so he can win the rib contest of the neighborhood's annual block party.

---

• Let's Meet the Meat: Darkly parodied. He was allegedly engineered as a regenerating source of delicious ribs with barbecue sauce for blood but is also sapient for no apparent reason. His time as livestock involved being chained up in the Manc Ave, repeatedly having his ribs ripped out and his blood messily drawn with a large blade, torture which deeply traumatized him.
• Unwitting Pawn: It turns out the Solar Opposites really were framed, and his existence is owed to those who are really responsible for his sentience.
• Uplifted Animal: He used to be a normal domesticated pig.
• Vertebrate with Extra Limbs: He is a pig with six legs.

Red Goobler

Chris the Red Goobler

First Appearance: "The Booster Manifold"

Voiced by: Justin Roiland (seasons 1-3), Eric Bauza (season 4)

A "red goobler" produced from Korvo via Terry-induced stress. His only purpose seems to be killing Korvo but he later develops a personality and life goals beyond that.

---

• Ambiguously Related: He and Korvo, who he originated from.
• Anthropomorphic Personification: Gooblers are creatures representing the excess negative emotion literally expelled from an individual Shlorpian. The red goobler is specifically born from Korvo's stress and is linked to his temperamental state:
  • In season 1, the red goobler starts slightly bigger than a regular goobler but rapidly grows in size during his unrelentingly aggressive hunt on an increasingly stressed-out Korvo before it is shrunken and detained, giving the latter a piece of mind. However, the red goobler escapes without Korvo's knowledge and plots his revenge, meaning one day Korvo's stress will unexpectedly come back worse than ever before.
  • Upon encountering Korvo again, the red goobler (Now called Chris) has learned to let go of his resentment and hatred towards him and is living a normal life happily engaged to his fiance, reflecting on Korvo appreciating Earth and his family more. However, Chris is still fairly large and muscular for a goobler (Being half as tall as his fiance) so it just took one bad day filled with equally bad decisions, on his wedding day no less, to revert back to his murderous, Korvo-hating self which Korvo had brought upon himself.
  • The latest time we see the red goobler is in season 4, having gone to therapy and starting his life all over again working in his own microbrewery. Even though his deep resentment of Korvo was never gone and still secretly wants him dead, the red goobler is the same height as before which means Korvo's stress became overdeveloped but relatively manageable. As the red goobler puts it:
  Korvo: [Referencing Jesse's character growth had destroyed her goobler] Then why are you still around?
  Red Goobler: Because you are a myopic, stressed-out piece of shit.
• Character Catchphrase: "Get fucked!"
• The Heartless: He’s biologically born out of Korvo's stress.
• Heel–Face Turn: When he returns in Season 2, he's living a normal life, is happily engaged and wants to put his hateful past behind him. Until Terry and Korvo screw it up for him (although he isn't entirely blameless) and he returns to his anti-Korvo vendetta.
• Karma Houdini: Zig-zagged, see Heel–Face Turn up above.
• Interspecies Romance: He fell in love with a human woman. Also, he had a brief fling with Korvo.
• My God, What Have I Done?: He reacts this way after having sex with Korvo, realizing potentially ruined his relationship with his fiance.
• Pintsized Powerhouse:
• Red Is Violent: Stress gooblers are coded red for their murderous anger and resentment channeled towards the Shlorpian who expelled them. This Red Goobler is no exception with his quest to kill Korvo in the most violent way possible.

Little Buddy

First Appearance: "The Fog of Pupa"

Voiced by: Tony Hale

A little buddy created by the Pupa in a fit of teenage rebellion.

---

• The Artifact: Discussed in "The Ping Pong Table", when Korvo observes that he seems like a remnant of an older storyline and expresses hope that he'll move out soon.
• Face–Heel Turn: He joins forces with Deeno in "The Pronunciation Cassette Tapes" so that they can murder the Solar Opposites and steal their house.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: He becomes this in Season 4 after he and the Pupa had a fall out with each other. It culminates in "The Pronunciation Cassette Tapes", where he and Deeno team up to kill the rest of the family and Korvo drops him down the garbage chute in the end.
• Pokémon Speak: Little Buddy can only say his name in different inflections, annunciating each syllable separately.
• Toxic Friend Influence: He spends most of "The Fog of Pupa" directly or indirectly encouraging the Pupa to misbehave. By the start of the next season, Pupa seems to have stopped listening to him.

Deeno

First Appearance: "The Pronunciation Cassette Tapes"

Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker

An intelligent cartoonish dinosaur created by the Solar Opposites to act as their pet.

---

• Ascended to Carnivorism: Zig-zagged. When he threatens to eat the Solar Opposites, Terry points out that he's a herbivore. Yumyulack then reminds him that Schlorpians are Plant Aliens.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing / Faux Affably Evil: He pretends to be a playful Funny Animal in the style of a Hanna-Barbera cartoon, but he's secretly planning to murder Korvo and the rest of the family.
• Expy: Primarily based on Dino from The Flintstones. Some of his antics with the family are remniscient of Scooby-Doo, Wacky Races, and Jabberjaw.
• Fantastic Racism: He abruptly decides that Earth is for Earthlings only and decides to kill the aliens.
• Gentle Giant Sauropod: Subverted. Deeno masquerades as one but he's both intelligent and devious.
• Karmic Death: Decides to kill the Opposites by eating them but abruptly gets eaten himself by a group of paleontologists desperate for a live dinosaur to devour and study.
• Toon Physics: Some of the antics he gets into with the Opposites involve being Squashed Flat from crashing a racecar into a wall.

Humans

The Neighbours

Kevin

First Appearance: "The P.A.T.R.I.C.I.A Device"

Voiced by: Ken Marino

A mancave-loving neighbour who lives right across the street from the Solar Opposites and seemingly has his life together with his family compared to them (Although that's mostly on a superficial level).

---

• Bickering Couple, Peaceful Couple: An interesting case since Kelvin and his wife seemed like the Peaceful Couple to Terry and Korvo's Bickering Couple, with the former pair having an idyllic marriage and nuclear family whereas the latter pair often arguing and getting on each other’s nerves while struggling to take care of the replicants and especially the pupa, when it’s actually the other way around. Kelvin doesn’t really like his family at all with his wife likewise hating his mancave addiction and they both got separated at one point for his neglectful childishness but held onto their strained relationship for the sake of appearances while Korvo and Terry for all their faults deeply cared and love each other no matter what and grew to appreciate their differences and dysfunctional family.
• The Bus Came Back: After only making a single appearance in season 1, Kelvin came back three seasons later for "The Pronunciation Cassette Tapes" and “The Stockiverse Ray”. His absence was explained due to his incredibly strained relationship with his wife and kids causing him to move out until he took the steps to improve it (or at least pretend to).
• Nice Guy: He’s the only one in the neighbourhood to be consistently affable and on speaking terms to the Solar Opposites and vice-versa despite all the sci-fi bullshit they pull, even for the time when their housewife robot P.A.T.R.I.C.I.A went haywire and destroyed his beloved mancave. However, this is zigzagged regarding his personal life since he's on the verge of a nasty divorce with his dismissive, neglectful attitude towards his wife and kids.
• Satellite Character: His unnamed exasperated wife is only seen whenever Kevin is around as lampshaded by Korvo only calling her "Kevin’s wife".
• Took a Level in Kindness: Zigzagged. After being extremely dismissive and neglectful of his family for his mancave, his wife separated from Kelvin and forced him to move into an apartment above a Costco (Explaining his absence from seasons 2 and 3) so he did everything in his power to maintain a happy marriage and family when his wife eventually takes him back. However, this was on a superficial level since he never actually changed his attitude, only taking countermeasures from acting out of line in front of them like buying a dog to prevent himself from badmouthing his wife or doing yearly family picture days to keep up the façade.

Debbie

First Appearance: "The Matter Transfer Array"

Voiced by: Kari Wahlgren

An annoyingly nosy next-door neighbour with a thing for Korvo much to his ire.

---

• Small Role, Big Impact: Her suggestion of enrolling Jesse and Yumyulack into summer camp so Terry and Korvo won’t have to deal with them for three whole months lead to the family being lost in the woods and forced to create an entire civilisation of sentient flora to survive in "The Emergency Urbanizer".
