The Tobins

Beef Tobin

A fisherman and the patriarch of the Tobins. He's still recovering from being divorced by his wife, Kathleen, which results in him doing everything possible to keep his kids close by.

Action Dad: Combined with Papa Wolf. In "Tusk in the Wind Adventure," Beef leaps into action without hesitation both times Wolf is in harm’s way, first by cutting Wolf out of the net he’s stuck in that Tusk is trying to put in the water, and second when Wolf gets trapped on a decomposing log over a ravine.
Aerith and Bob: Beef's brother is named Brian.
Berserk Button: Calls an indoor tree at the mall "an abomination" and takes it with him when he leaves.
Boring, but Practical: Beef’s job as a fisherman isn’t the most glorious job in the world, but he likes it and it gives him the ability to financially support his family as a single father.
Broken Bird: Kathleen leaving absolutely broke him. Even years later he lived in deep denial, pretending that she was eaten by a bear and being reduced to Inelegant Blubbering if pushed too hard about it. Even after accepting the truth about Kathleen, the effects of her leaving still haunt him in the form of Beef's fears and insecurities.
Character Catchphrase: He says "Hot dog!" whenever he sees something amazing.
Chick Magnet: While he is deathly nervous around them, Beef doesn't have any problem attracting women.
Despair Event Horizon: In "Sexi Moose Adventure", after hitting a Heroic BSoD and Rage Breaking Point earlier in the episode, Beef hits this after breaking his foot while desperately looking for the last of Kathleen's thing that were stolen by the moose. After that, he accepts that he is probably going to die, and when Judy comes to rescue him, he tells her to just leave him there to die for being such a failure. Thankfully, once Judy jumps down to him and has a heart to heart with him about Kathleen leaving and the rest of the family still loving him, Beef finally accepts the truth and begins the healing process.
Everyone Has Standards: Beef is an avid hunter and fisher, with the latter being what he does for a living. However, "Tusk In The Wind Adventure" demonstrates that he won't poach any endangered species (calling it not only illegal but an affront to the wilderness herself) and he won't use any fishing method that is out of season and that he doesn't have a license for.
Freudian Excuse: Sensible, no-nonsense Beef marrying a kleptomaniac flake like Kathleen makes more sense considering his parents were also neglectful criminals and that was the type of relationship modeled for him growing up. Beef's overall personality also makes sense given his parents - he probably adapted to be a Serious Child to a set of Wacky Parents.
Hates Being Alone: After his wife left him for another man and moved to Pennsylvania, he becomes determined to keep his family together and is afraid of them leaving him.
Heroic BSoD: In "Sexi Moose Adventure", after learning about Judy's mall job at the worst time, Beef loses control of himself and stumbles into a broken elevator.
In Love with Love: In a sense, it's revealed that he didn't initially harbor any feelings for Kathleen, as she bluntly informed him they were dating without his input. His subsequent attachment to Kathleen and trouble in social settings implies that he was just willing to shack up with anyone who didn't require him to initiate. His love for Kathleen is shown to either be in complete denial of the type of person she was, or entirely focused on the fact she gave him four children. It is likely he enjoyed the role of being a father and husband more than he actually enjoyed Kathleen's company.
Manly Tears: Sheds several at the end of the first episode while thinking about his kids growing up and leaving him, a few in the second episode after Mayor Pepper's Feast Cake speech, and many in the first season finale during Wolf and Honeybee's wedding.
Mum Looks Like a Sister: He and Wolf are father and son, but a viewer could mistake them for brothers at first glance.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: He sends Delmer to play curling and he injures himself.
Open-Minded Parent:
- He's fine with Ham being gay and with him being the new Cake Lady of their town. In fact, he’s so open minded, that Ham later admits to being a little disappointed that he wasn't more surprised.
- During the epilogue of “Curl Interrupted Adventure”, he’s willing to learn about Judy’s new interests so he can spend time with her even if it brings him out of his comfort zone, and they even perform an improv skit for the other Tobins.
Out-of-Character Moment: Played for Laughs. At the end of "Dead Moon Walking Adventure", Beef breaks from his typical desperation to keep his family together and asks Wolf and Honeybee to move to a motel so he can use the guest cabin to keep his favorite log from the log museum (for the record, the log is smaller than Moon is).
Parental Neglect: Not him, but "Wanted: Delmer Alive Adventure" reveals he and Brian's parents were in and out of jail when he was growing up and that the two of them had to live with Delmer for a while.
Parents as People: He's a kind-hearted dude, but his neuroses about his wife leaving him sometimes cause his kids to tiptoe around him and avoid telling him what they're up to avoid upsetting him.
Rage Breaking Point: In "Sexi Moose Adventure", while Beef doesn't explode with anger, he does snap on the boat when he can't light Judy's birthday candles on top of all the other things he has been dealing with.
Teen Pregnancy: Wolf is in his early 20s while Beef is 40, indicating he first became a father in his late teens. “Sister Pact Too Adventure” confirms he was 19 when Wolf was born.
Twitchy Eye: Gets one when he finds out Kathleen might be coming back to Lone Moose in "My Fart Will Go On Adventure."
Weaksauce Weakness: Mermaids. As with the stories of sailors and sirens, Beef is so enamored by mermaids that he says that he'd give everything he owns to the mermaid actresses at the water park if they asked him to.
The Workaholic: He puts in a lot of work around the house. Even when he's in the deep "Beef Sleep," in which he sleeps during the darkest day of the year, he dreams about doing work and chores.

Judy Tobin

Voiced by: Jenny Slate

The sixteen-year-old and only daughter of the Tobins. She works in the photography studio at the local mall and shows an interest in journalism.

Ambiguously Bi:
- In "Beef's Craig Beef Adventure" Judy finds Londra's team of fisherwomen sexy and decides she's going to unpack some of those thoughts later.
- In "Skidmark Holmes Adventure", she replies to a spam text about meeting "big-boobied singles in your area" with "maybe another time".
Comically Missing the Point: She often misses the point when her imaginary friends are telling her what the problem really is. See Alanis telling Judy that setting Beef up on a date won't solve Judy's fear of dating in the second scene of "Romantic Meat-Based Adventure" and Thomas Wintersbone telling Judy that she has to let go of her Crispin fantasy in "Pride and Prejudance Adventure."
Judy: I think I know what I have to do.
Thomas: And you always did... Actually, that's not true. I really had to walk you right up to it.
Competition Freak: For curling. It really brings out her aggressive side.
Extracurricular Enthusiast: Oh yes. In addition to her after-school photography job, she’s into making any type of visual art, improv, she’s in an all-girl pan flute group (the She-ter Pans), and, well…
Judy: I have so many new interests! Like toast mastering, upcycling, food styling, European clowning, non-ironic street art, urban foraging, scatting… just to name a few-bi-do-bi-do-do-waaaah.
Beef: I don’t understand what just happened.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's blonde and cares deeply about her family and supporting them.
Like Father, Like Daughter:
- Like Beef, she has a tendency to get passive-aggressive if she's upset about something.
- In "Romantic Meat-Based Adventure," she and Beef are both Bad Liars, Beef when trying to get out of the meetup and Judy when trying to avoid Steven. They also talk about being overly sensitive and a little picky with their personal lives at the end of the episode.
Jerkass Has a Point: In “Curl Interrupted Adventure,” Judy refuses to put Delmar into the game because he’s super old. She mainly does it out of arrogance because she wants to win and she thinks he’s holding them back, but when Beef overrules Judy and has Delmar throw, he gets carried away by the stone and breaks his hip.
Non-Standard Character Design: Judy is notable for being the only character in this Bob's Burgers-style cast with visible teeth.
Odd Name Out: She's the only one to have a normal name in the family where her father's name is Beef, her brothers' names are Wolf, Ham, and Moon, and Wolf's wife's name is Honeybee. She's also the only Tobin with a two-syllable name.
That Came Out Wrong: She has a tendency of saying Double Entendre without meaning to and people pointing it out to her.
True Blue Femininity: The one girl in the Tobin family, and nearly all of her outfits are blue (her parka, her sweater, and her dresses for the Thomas Wintersbone Dance and Wolf & Honeybee's wedding).
Youthful Freckles: Across her nose and cheeks to further highlight her energetic and optimistic nature.

Wolf Tobin

Voiced by: Will Forte

The eldest son of the Tobins. He's engaged to Honeybee and marries her in the Season 1 finale.

Ambiguously Bi: While he clearly loves Honeybee, he shows open attraction to males; this can range from accidental double entendres to openly calling men attractive (many times referring to his father). This is much less ambiguous after "Beef's in Toyland Adventure", where it's revealed that one of him and Honeybee's pastimes is to rate hot men together and approach them if they're attractive enough. Approach them for what? Wolf and Honeybee don't seem sure themselves. It's framed as a couple who are both interested in an open relationship but haven't quite figured that out consciously.
Big Brother Instinct: Is the most vocally upset when Judy plans to quit her job at the mall before she evens starts it, and he tells Beef he and Honeybee are moving partly to get Beef's focus off Judy.
Determinator: Cutting both his hands, peeing his pants, hurting his ab muscles, and sobbing from all the pain doesn’t stop Wolf from competing in the Daver Dash.
Extreme Doormat: Spends the pilot episode actively trying not challenge the way things currently are in the family to keep Beef from going off the deep end. He's the only sibling playing along with Beef's lie that their mom died, and he's avoiding telling Beef he and Honeybee want to move out of the main house. He gets a little better over the course of the episode.
Ironic Name: Wolves are often stereotyped as either intelligent and dignified or dangerous predators. Wolf is a bit bumbling, but he doesn’t have a malicious bone in his body.
Manchild: While Wolf will act responsibly when the situation calls for it, he tends to be immature, naive, and unrealistic. Despite being somewhat of a second father to him, his ten-year-old brother Moon is often more mature than he is.
Parental Substitute: Downplayed since Beef is still an active parent, but Wolf also acts paternally towards his younger siblings. In "Dances With Wolfs Adventure", Moon outright says that he considers Wolf one of his parents.
Phrase Catcher: Whenever he says something too far, someone will interject “Wolf, no...”
Pungeon Master: Wolf often peppers his speech with various puns, alliterations, and Rhymes on a Dime that allude to either pop culture, celebrities, or even food products. When he interjects such puns, he would sometimes add in mild grade curse words. Such examples include "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turds!", "Paul Simon's Pee-Pee!", and "Mountain Dew Code Crap!"
That Came Out Wrong: Much like Judy, he is prone to accidentally saying inappropriate comments, many times about Beef. He gets called out for it a lot, see Phrase Catcher above.
The Movie Buff: He, along with Honeybee, are this and they met on a forum for posting movie quotes. This marks him as a much better match than Honeybee's would-be fiancé Calvin, who doesn't understand any of Honeybee's references.
Vague Age: Unlike his father and siblings, Wolf's age is not specified beyond "early twenties". "Papa Don't Fiend Adventure" clears this up a bit, as Moon was apparently born nine months after the families first visit to Family Land when Wolf was ten, meaning Wolf is either 20 or 21. “Sister Pact Too Adventure” reveals that Beef was 19 when Wolf was born; as Beef is 40 in the present day, this means Wolf is most likely 21 years old.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Downplayed. Despite his father already loving him, he still feels the need to make him proud.

Ham Tobin

Ham Piercebrosnan Tobin

Voiced by: Paul Rust

The middle son of the Tobins. He takes over as the town's "Cake Lady".

The Ditz:
- He's not the brightest child in the family and quickly forgets things, like that he's already out of the closet.
  Ham: We should have realized it sooner, but in fairness to me, I never realize things sooner.
- Season 2 seems to downplay this and make him more of a Genius Ditz. He is shown reading more and is able to catch on when something is amiss, while still having lovably clueless moments.
Embarrassing Middle Name: His middle name is revealed to be Piercebrosnan and Moon reveals Kathleen had some wine during Ham's birth when she came up with that name.
Hidden Depths:
- Despite his slow nature, he actually has good grades in school as his report card shows his average grade is a B-, but he has A's in English, History, and Math. The reason why his average is a B- is because he has B's in Reading, Writing, and Language and has a C in Drawing.
- Relatedly, he has an impressive collection of books above his bed in his room.
- After the Cake Lady in their town got arrested, he secretly took her place after finding her last order to see if he's good at it. He promptly discovered he is and has been baking cake for everyone in town in secret ever since.
- "Pride and Prejudance Adventure" reveals that Ham likes to collect different leaves. This makes Crispin fall even more in love with him.
Intergenerational Friendship: Has a tendency to befriend middle-aged women.
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He has shoulder-length red hair.
Perma-Stubble: Always has a bit of hair on his upper lip, though not a full mustache like his dad and older brother have.
Queer Establishing Moment: He reveals he's gay in the very first episode during Judy's birthday, but his family already knows and Moon points out he came out to them a bunch of times already. Season 2 reveals that he keeps coming out because he was disappointed that he didn't get to experience a Hollywood-typical Coming-Out Story.
She Is the King: Gender-Inverted; after Ham secretly takes the position of the town’s new Cake Lady, the townspeople call him the Cake Lady even after he reveals his identity to them.
Straight Gay: He comes out as gay (a bunch of times) and hasn't displayed any gay stereotypes as of yet.
Supreme Chef: He's this when it comes to cake, and is the current Cake Lady of Lone Moose.
Sweet Baker: Ham is a kind, good-natured boy who happens to be an excellent baker.

Moon Tobin

Voiced by: Aparna Nancherla

The ten-year-old and youngest son of the Tobins. He's interested in survivalism and searching for cryptids in the woods.

All Boys Want Bad Girls: It's implied that he actually has a repressed crush on Debbie, the meanest girl in his class, or at least a desire for her to see him as "hot".
Animal Lover: Moon is an outdoorsy boy who has successfully befriended many animals, including a falcon, a reindeer, and many skunks.
The Comically Serious: He's a lot sterner than the rest of his family, made even more hilarious by the fact that he's a little boy.
Creepy Child: Gets very into roleplaying a cadaver. It’s Played for Laughs however. He also excitedly stabs Tusk Johnson in the leg with a fork when he claims that he's been frostbitten so much that he no longer feels anything in his upper thigh. He is also noted to have a habit of trying to eat his relatives when suffering from Cabin Fever.
Beef: Moon, please, let's try not to stab our guest.
Deadpan Snarker: Often makes passive aggressive comments about his family’s eccentricity.
Embarrassing Animal Suit: He wears a brown bear snow suit. Played with since he doesn't seem to find it embarrassing himself, and the people he interacts with regularly are used to it.
Gender-Blender Name: "Moon" can be used as a girl's name as well.
Never Bareheaded: His hair is dark-brown and styled in a bowl cut, but it's always covered up by the hood of his bear snow suit, even when he's wearing his red coat over it. He does take it off for special occasions, such as the school dance in "Pride and Prejudance Adventure" and Wolf and Honeybee's wedding in "My Fart Will Go On Adventure".
The Nose Knows: As a part of his survivalist training, he's got a very strong sense of smell, and is able to identify the foul smell plaguing Lone Moose during the Season 3 finale as being gravy-like, while the town assumes it was due to a fish die-off.
Odd Name Out: Among his father and brothers at least. Moon's name is the only one that doesn't double as a type of meat.
Precocious Crush: In "Tasteful Noods Adventure", he develops a crush on Bethany, whom he's well aware is too old for him. While this has yet to come up again, he did indicate that his intention was to ask her out when he's an adult.
Sweet Tooth: Moon's appetite for sweets is well known, to the point that Beef refers to him as an "unstoppable dessert hole."
Wise Beyond Their Years: He may be ten and wears a bear snow suit, but he's already drinking coffee and he doesn't believe Beef's story that his mother was eaten by a bear and knows that she's alive and living with her lover in Pennsylvania.

Honeybee Shaw-Tobin

Honeybee Shaw

Voiced by: Dulce Sloan

Wolf's fiancée, and later wife, who moved from Fresno, California.

Audience Surrogate: Because she intends to live with Wolf's family when they get married, she, along with the audience, gets to learn more about the Tobins and the things they do in Alaska.
Big Sister Instinct:
- Befitting her role as Judy's big sister-in-law, Honeybee sounds ready to beat the tar out of someone when she mistakenly thinks Judy got her heart broken in "Pride & Prejudance Adventure".
- In "Sister Pact Too Adventure", while at a feminist retreat, a retreat staff offers Judy a cup with a liquid inside to drink, but she stops Judy from taking it as they later learn the liquid in the cup is breast milk. After learning that the person in charge of the retreat is running a multi-level marketing scheme and displays behavior of a cult leader, her first instinct is to get Judy away from the retreat.
Character Catchphrase: "Babe/sweetie, no" and permutations thereof, spoken when Wolf says something weird/crazy or misuses slang.
Cool Big Sis: Fills this role with the younger Tobins, especially Judy and Moon.
Funny Afro: She has a huge afro with a pink flower in her hair.
Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Her main outfit is a top, pants, and boots in varying shades of purple.
Hartman Hips: Her hips are noticeably huge.
Ink-Suit Actor: She greatly resembles Dulce Sloan, right down to the hair decorations.
Like Brother and Sister: She's this with her would-be fiancé Calvin, despite their parents trying to get them to marry each other for business reasons.
The Maiden Name Debate: After she and Wolf married, she hyphenated her last name to Shaw-Tobin, keeping her original family name while also adopting her husband’s family name.
The Movie Buff: She, along with Wolf, are this and they met on a forum for posting movie quotes. This marks Wolf as a much better match than Calvin, who doesn't understand any of her references.
Only Sane Woman: While she often goes along with the Tobin family's antics, she's just as likely to be this, particularly where Wolf is concerned. "Babe, no" is practically her catch phrase given how often she has to admonish Wolf for saying something crazy.
Vague Age: Honeybee's age is not specified beyond "early twenties".
Womanchild: While she has her sincere moments and she’s a bit smarter than Wolf, she can be just as immature and unrealistic as he is.

Family Members of the Tobins and Shaws

Kathleen Tobin

Voiced by: TBA

Beef's ex-wife and the mother of his children who left him for another man.

Abusive Parents: While we don't know the full extent of it (other than leaving the Tobin kids home alone all the time and naming the family dog "Grandma" to pretend that an adult was watching them), Judy outright says that Kathleen was a bad mother and that things actually improved after she abandoned the Tobins. In "The Yawn of the Dead Adventure [Halloween]", it's stated that she handed over the newly-born Moon to Judy and Ham and bluntly told them to take care of him.
Burner Phones: As a criminal, she would always carry these and her own family can't even get into contact with her once she disposes of them for a new one.
Daddy Didn't Show: Judy states she's a flake and she would have missed her birth if it was medically possible. Naturally, despite the other Tobin's fears (and secret hopes) that she would come to Wolf's wedding, she doesn't show.
"Dear John" Letter: She left her family a goodbye letter that said "Smell you later" and has a drawing of a middle finger where the fingers are replaced with penises.
Fur Bikini: She wore one when she was in a beauty pageant.
Gasshole: She's known to fart a lot, but it's mainly to spite others, like when she farted on Vera's flowers and once farted into a microphone during Judy's ice skating competition because they wouldn't give her a trophy.
Hate Sink: Despite never showing up in the flesh (at least not present her), she’s the most villainized character in the show as every detail spoken about her paints her in a worse and worse light.
It's All About Me: Judy states she's a wrecking ball at big events and she can't stand it if it's not about her.
Jerkass: Judy flat out states that she was a really bad mother and things actually got better when she left.
The Lost Lenore: Subverted. In the first episode, Beef claimed that Kathleen was killed by a bear but the rest of the family all know that Kathleen simply left them to be with her lover. Beef would confront the truth himself so he could come to terms with his wife abandoning him and move on with his life
Missing Mom: She abandoned her family to live with her lover in Pennsylvania. She never contacts her family and they can't get in touch with her due to her using burner phones. They can only know about her status through her blog.
Outlaw Couple: She appears to be this with her longtime lover, Marcus, where they keep a blog about stores that won't chase you if you shoplift called "The Pittsburgh Stealers".
Parental Neglect: Implied. It seems part of why Kathleen named the family dog “Grandma” was so she could leave the Tobin kids home alone and pretend an adult was watching them when somebody asked her about it.
Teen Pregnancy: She likely had Wolf in her late teens, considering how old Beef was at the time and how the two went to school together.
What Does He See in Her?: Considering that she's a horrible woman who cheated on Beef and neglected her children, it's strange that Beef wants her back in his life after everything she's done to her family. It is later revealed that he didn't even initiate the relationship. Kathleen bluntly decided he was her boyfriend one day, and he was so eager for a typical family that he never thought to question it. Beef starts to make progress of letting her go after the first episode.

Brian Tobin

Voiced by: Rob Delaney

Beef's older brother who runs a hot tub business in Anchorage.

Cool Uncle: Is regarded highly by all of Beef's children but especially Wolf, who admires how well he performed in the 'Daver Dash.
Sibling Yin-Yang: Played with. Beef and Brian are similar in personality, but Brian never took to nature or rustic living the way that Beef did and much prefers living in the city.

Becca Tobin

Voiced by: Shannon Woodward

Brian's daughter.

Brainy Brunette: She has dark brown hair and is always reading a book. "Can I at least finish this page?" is basically her catchphrase.

Danica Tobin

Voiced by: Lindsey Stoddart

Beef and Brian's cousin who's very uptight and judgmental, and also a bank robber.

Graceful Loser: Despite Chief Edna and Elba stopping her and arresting her, she admits defeat without making a fuss out of it, but still insults their appearance.
Indubitably Uninteresting Individual: Criminal past and unpleasant personality aside, she's a thoroughly dull person. Her entire house is brown because all other colors are too showy for her. She has a porcelain rabbit collection that consists of one rabbit. Her cellar pantry is full of nothing but (opened) mayonnaise.
Jerkass: She never stops insulting or being critical of people. It's this exact behavior that makes Ham seek her out, as he hopes that, given her bad attitude, she'll have a more intense reaction to Ham's coming out than the rest of his family, though Beef worries she'll be too intense and actually hurt Ham's feelings. Ham never did get to tell her.
Justified Criminal: Play straight first and then subverted. She reveals she was a bank robber because she got fired from her job and her home was about to be foreclosed on. The second time she did it was because she was bored, and the third time was because she "caught the bug".

Dirtrude "Dirt" Tobin

Dirtrude Tobin

Voiced by: Jane Lynch

Beef's long lost aunt, who has been living in a bunker on the property for 60 years.

Butch Lesbian: Very gruff and masculine, and a confirmed lesbian.
Fish out of Temporal Water: Not shockingly, she doesn't fit in great with 2024 Alaska.
Mistaken for Apocalypse: Was convinced the Alaska earthquake of 1964 was a Soviet invasion of Alaska, and promptly retreated to her bunker for 6 decades.

Louis and Ruth Shaw

Louis voiced by: Phil Lamarr
Ruth voiced by: Daniele Gaither

The parents of Honeybee and Jerry, who run a curtain store in Fresno, California.

Altar Diplomacy: They attempted to set Honeybee up with Calvin, so that they can combine their families' businesses when they take over. It doesn't work out, as Calvin and Honeybee are Like Brother and Sister.

Jerry Shaw

Jerrybee Shaw

Voiced by: Ron Funches

The younger brother of Honeybee. He moves up to Lone Moose to try and find a new path in life, and winds up dressing as Bigfoot at events round town.

Big Little Brother: He's taller than Honeybee and is the same size as Wolf despite being younger than her.
Does Not Like Spam: Doesn't like crackers, as the mix of crunchy and bland "confuses his mouth".
Dreaded Kids' Party Entertainer Job: Inverted. In "Game of Snownes Adventure," Honeybee mentions that with his Bigfoot costume, Jerry is blowing up on the kids' party circuit, enough so that he has money for headshots and a website.
Family Theme Naming: He's offhandedly mentioned to be named Jerrybee, though everyone just calls him Jerry.
Incredibly Lame Fun: Especially when compared to free-spirited Honeybee, Jerry tends to walk on the mild side of life. In "Game of Snownes Adventure," Jerry talks about the weird things he used to do with his friend in Fresno, such as going for walks, getting coffee, and switching meals at a restaurant after they ordered. In "Blood Actually Adventure," he prefers carving pumpkins instead of partaking in the rest of his family's Nightmare Fetishist decorating. His own chosen Halloween decorations include a sign that says "BOO," cutouts of a ghost and bat he claims are in love, and a coat rack that kind of looks like a skeleton.
Mundane Utility: Wears his Bigfoot costume instead of buying a snowsuit so he can walk around town without freezing, as seen in "Dip the Halls Adventure."
Neutral No Longer: He tries not to get involved in the fight between his parents and Honeybee when his parents wants Honeybee to run their store and marry Calvin for business reasons. He finally gets involved when Honeybee plans to move to Alaska to be with Wolf, and he tells his parents Honeybee should be allowed to follow her own dreams and they don't need someone to takeover their store yet because they're still in their early 50s and in amazing shape.
Nice Guy: He's a nice guy who likes to make people happy, which makes him happy.

The Town of Lone Moose

Delmer

Voiced by: Aloysius Hootch

An elderly Yupik man and Tobin family friend.

Parental Substitute: Beef and Brian used to rely on him for help with their schoolwork and even lived with him while their parents briefly joined a space cult.

Londra Pennypacker

Voiced by: Judith Shelton

A fisherwoman who's usually seen at the docks.

Butch Lesbian: Tall, stocky, typically wearing masculine-style fishing gear, and revealed in "Bear of Beeftown Adventure" to be interested in women.
Phrase Catcher: When Wolf or Judy tells her they don't want to be bothered, they tell her "Not now, Londra!" and she happily complies.
The Pollyanna: She's always happy no matter the situation. Like when Wolf and Judy telling her to not bother them or mentioning she's hosting a Tupperware party and she'll owe thousands of dollars to her mentor if she doesn't sell enough.

Diondra Tundra

Voiced by: Robin Thede

A news reporter for the local news of Lone Moose.

Rhyming Names: Her name rhymes.

Mayor Peppers

Voiced by: Ray J. DeWilde

The mayor of Lone Moose.

Santiago Carpaccio

Voiced by: David Herman

A recurring character who appears in Lone Moose.

Old Jody Jr.

Voiced by: Gabe Delahaye

A trader that everyone goes to when they need to get something that's difficult for them to obtain.

Honest John's Dealership: He claims that if it exists, he can get it for you, except he rips everybody off and he will trade away your stuff even if you want a refund.
Moon: Old Jody Jr. is always ripping everybody off 'cause he thinks he's the only game in town, and that's just because he's the only game in town.

Dell

Voiced by: Brooke Dillman

A fisherwoman who's trying to get back into fishing.

Cartwright Curse: The reason why Dell rejects going out with Beef is because she sees herself as cursed because her previous husbands died in horrific accidents and doesn't want him to die like them. Her first husband froze to death in their freezer ("He wasn't very bright"), the next two husbands died falling into holes, the fourth husband was in a plane crash and survived but was eaten by his friend, and her recent husband died in a fishing accident where a dock line wrapped around his neck, pulled him into the water, and then popped his head clean off.

John Johnson

Voiced by: Sean Clements

The editor-in-chief of The Lone Moose Wind.

Repetitive Name: John Johnson.

Junkyard Kyle

Voiced by: Mindy Sterling

A woman who runs a junkyard.

Gender-Blender Name: Her name may be Kyle, but she's a woman.
Quirky Girl, Quirky Tux: She wears a tuxedo at Wolf and Honeybee's wedding.

Cheesecake

Voiced by: Andy Daly

Wolf's best friend.

The Alcoholic: He's a very heavy drinker despite his appearance.
Freaky Fashion, Mild Mind: Inverted. Cheesecake looks and dresses rather blandly, but he acts like a party animal, and any time that Wolf and Honeybee go drinking with him ends in utter mayhem.
Insurance Fraud: His fiancée tried to kill him for the insurance money. He literally found a knife with his name on it under her pillow.
Only Known by Their Nickname: Only ever referred to as Cheesecake, which is presumably not his real first name.
The Slacker: Though he will look for a job if he has to, he would really rather not work at all.

Chief Edna

Voiced by: Sarah Baker

The chief of police of Lone Moose and also the owner of the boatyard.

Big Little Sister: She's slightly taller than her big sister, Chief Elba.
Police Are Useless: Zig-Zagged. In "Say It Again, Ham Adventure", she and Chief Elba don't actually carry their guns with them (instead keeping them in their glove compartments), so they are laughably unprepared when Beef's cousin, Danica, pulls a gun on them. However, they are able to successfully Distract and Disarm her.
Sibling Team: When her sister, Chief Elba, is in town, they will usually work together to back each other up.

Lone Moose School

Staff

Principal Gibbons

Voiced by: Tim Bagley

The principal of Lone Moose School.

Reasonable Authority Figure: In "Period Piece Adventure", he's actually very interested in the final protest piece and has questions about the symbolism. He also explains to the group that the school actually gets a kickback for using the old sanitary belts, and that money pays for things like the art supplies Judy was going to use for the mural. He agrees to use some of this money to put tampons in the girls’ bathroom in the future.

Mr. Golovkin

Voiced by: Paul F. Tompkins

One of Judy and Ham's teachers.

A Day in the Limelight: He gets focused on in "Arranger-ous Minds Adventure" and we learn more about his life, including how he has OCD.
Everybody Knew Already: He's in a "secret relationship" with Ms. Anderson, but Principal Gibbons and the rest of the school staff already knows about their relationship and questions why they're trying to keep it a secret when everybody is happy for them. In "Arranger-ous Minds Adventure", the rest of the students already know about their relationship after one of them caught them kissing and told everyone.
Growing Up Sucks: He bluntly tells Judy that becoming an adult isn't as great she thought it would be because you'll eventually have to deal with many disappointments in your life.
Jerkass Realization: In "Arranger-ous Minds Adventure", after he tells Moon that he'll die alone if he likes organizing stuff, Moon realizes that he has OCD like him and plans to move in with him because they're freaks no woman would ever love. After Moon tells him how he has a crush on Quinn and she made fun of him for organizing trash, Golovkin realizes that Moon is afraid he's like him and as a teacher he should not have told a student like Moon that he's going to die alone. He reluctantly agrees to try to change his way so he can make Moon feel better about himself and hope to get back together with Ms. Anderson.
Obsessively Organized: In "Arranger-ous Minds Adventure", he's revealed to have OCD, which he wasn't aware of until Moon points out he has all of the symptoms of it.
Rail Enthusiast: He's of the model train variety. His refusal to move his extensive train set out of his house is part of the reason he and Ms. Anderson broke up.

Ms. McNamara

Voiced by: Missi Pyle

The guidance counselor of Lone Moose School

Adults Are Useless: She's a lousy guidance counselor and play director. In "Stools Rush in Adventure", despite Judy's experience in musicals and Chrissy not being a good singer, McNarama casts Chrissy as the female lead and Judy as Chrissy's understudy and a bar stool because she wants to help Chrissy get out of her comfort zone and have a chance to shine, despite Chrissy's protest that she can't sing and never wanted the lead role, and thinks Judy is an Attention Whore who talks too much. Her attempts at helping Chrissy only makes both of the girls miserable and humiliated. Amelia, Judy, and Chrissy all thinks she's a lousy guidance counselor.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Not that she hides it very well, but in "Stools Rush in Adventure", you'd think that being a guidance counselor would make Ms. McNarama kind and understanding to the students, but no. Instead, she gives Judy two humiliating roles seemingly just because she personally doesn't like Judy while forcing Chrissy to take the female lead even though Chrissy is unable to sing and is deeply uncomfortable with the part. If that weren't enough, she bad mouths Judy to Chrissy in private.
Kick the Dog: In "Stools Rush in Adventure", when it's clear that Chrissy can't sing on stage and she doesn't want the female lead role, the reasonable thing for Ms. McNamara to do is have Judy replace her since she's her understudy; but instead she decides to have Judy sing Chrissy's lines from the pit and have Chrissy lip sync it on stage. She even tells Judy to wear a hat when she's in the pit because people tend to throw their gum down there.

Judy and Ham's Classmates

Crispin Cienfuegos

Voiced by: Julio Torres (S1-S3E09), Juan Castano (S3E19- )

A new student who works at Smoothie Boss in the Lone Moose Mall. He begins dating Ham late in Season One.

Accidental Misnaming: He keeps misnaming Judy as Rudy.
Alliterative Name: Crispin Cienfuegos.
Birds of a Feather: Crispin and Ham are both eccentric, odd, but incredibly sweet boys, so it's unsurprising that they hit it off quickly and end up becoming a couple.
Hidden Depths: "Bee's All That Adventure" reveals that he has the highest G.P.A. in his grade.
Incompatible Orientation: Judy has a crush on him at the start of the series, but "Pride and Prejudance Adventure" reveals that Crispin is actually romantically interested in Ham, who reciprocates his feelings. Judy lets go of her crush during the end of the episode upon realizing that Crispin won't like her back no matter what she does.
New Transfer Student: His backstory is that his family moved from Michigan to Alaska about a month before the start of the show.
Queer Establishing Moment: He's established as gay in "Pride and Prejudance Adventure" when he first meets Ham and shows a great interest in him.

Voiced by: David Herman

One of Judy's classmates.

Everyone Can See It: Everybody in their friend group knows he has a crush on Judy. They even talk about it in front of Gill and Judy in "Skidmark Holmes Adventure."
I'm Standing Right Here: Claims he's so generic and beneath notice that he got away with switching the pizza out for his grandma's underwear in "Skidmark Holmes Adventure." However, The Reveal that he was working with Kima to do so casts some doubt on it.

Momma's Boy: Uses the phone in the school nurse's office to call his mom every day.

Emotionless Girl: Played with. She speaks with a very monotone, semi-bored sounding voice, but still participates in voluntary activities with the other students and occasionally smiles.
Establishing Character Moment: Her first line in her first appearance in "Pride and Prejudance Adventure" sets up exactly what kind of character Bethany will be.
Principal Gibbons: Ladies, you'll now step forward to invite your dates in.
Bethany: Whatever. The simulation makes our decisions anyway.
Nightmare Fetishist: She's really interested in dark and creepy things.
Odd Friendship: Though it takes time for the show to establish it, she's best friends with Drama John. They're often seen together, but appear enough individually too much to count as Those Two Guys.

Drama John

Voiced by: Charlie Kelly

A student who likes seeing drama and being dramatic.

Brutal Honesty: He is not afraid to speak his mind, and often does so for the sake of drama.
Drama Queen: He likes drama and doing dramatic things. In "Period Piece Adventure", he only joined Judy's art project so he could storm out of it.

Stacy B.

Voiced by: Edi Patterson

Judy's ex-best friend who ditched her once she became popular and started bullying Judy.

Alpha Bitch: She's one of the popular kids in Judy's grade and she's always making fun of Judy, along with her friends due to their association with Judy.
Evil Is Petty: After ditching Judy as her best friend and hanging out with the cool kids, she doesn't just make fun of her, but she purposely ruins any of Judy's plans.
- While she doesn't have any beef with Kima and Amelia, she only makes fun of them because they're friends with Judy.
- In "Skidmark Holmes Adventure", she's aware of Judy's murder mystery party coming up so she purposely throws her party on the same day, making people from Judy's party choose to go to her party.
- In "Bee's All That Adventure", after Judy and her friends help make Jill cooler and everyone in school starts seeing Judy and her friends as cool, Stacy B. comes in and steals Jill away from her.
Laser-Guided Karma: In "Bee's All That Adventure", she purposely steals Jill away from Judy and her friends just to hurt her, but because Jill is a little odd, during the Bon Voyage Bonfire where everyone throws items into the bonfire as a sign of letting go, Jill takes Stacy's phone and throws it into the fire because she heard Stacy say that she's tired of getting too many text messages, much to Stacy B.'s frustration.
We Used to Be Friends: Judy says that Stacy B. and her used to be friends, even wearing matching toe rings. Then Stacy B. began hanging out with the cool kids and now makes fun of her and her friends.

Russell

Voiced by: John Gemberling

One of Moon's friends.

Good Stepfather: His mother's boyfriend, Jamie, apparently. Russell absolutely adores him, and keeps finding ways to bring him up in conversations.

Debbie Van

Voiced by: Patti Harrison

A classmate of Moon who's popular in his grade.

Alpha Bitch: She's a ten-year-old version. She's the most talented and beautiful girl in Moon's grade, and also the meanest.
Creepy Child: And how. Whenever she is even slightly embarrassed, she takes it to the extreme (something the school staff found out the hard way).
Disproportionate Retribution: She apparently engages in this a lot when emarrassed.
The Dreaded: Despite being ten years old, ever other person in Lone Moose is scared of her, from her classmates to the older students, to the staff, to the other adults in town. If getting the school staff arrested on bogus drug charges because she tripped in the entryway is the kind of thing she does regularly without remorse, it makes sense to why. The only people not afraid of her seem to be her own parents, and even then, her mom tries not to upset her less she does something drastic like file for emancipation (which she tried to once).
Pet the Dog:
- While she does insult him immediately after, she does apologize to Moon for making fun of him and his belief in Bigfoot when they see Jerry in the Bigfoot costume in "Keep Beeflievin Adventure".
- Considering the rest of "Dead Moon Walking Adventure" establishes her penchant for Disproportionate Retribution, it's surprising she just lets Ms. McNamara off the hook when she trips and spills her yogurt all over her when she realizes Moon was responsible for making her trip.
- While it's possible she means when she says she only not doing because it be embarrassing for her (considering he is wearing a diaper), she does relent on beating Moon up when he tells her that she'll still be his friend even if she does it.
Sudden Name Change: In her first appearance Debbie's surname is stated to be Gladu, though it later gets changed to Van (pronounced Vün).
Sore Loser: In "Skidmark Holmes Adventure", Moon said that she's going to Ice Skating Junior Nationals, but she didn't qualify to compete and is only going so she can throw stuff at the people who did.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Beginning in Season Two, Debbie is a Type One of this trope. She still snarks at Moon, Henry, and Russell and acts like she's better than them all, but she also eats lunch with them and hangs out with them outside of school. The boys take it in stride and include her in their activities without calling her out on her attitude.

Quinn Notti

Voiced by: Ruby Nicazio

A girl who joins Moon's friend group near the end of the episode "Autumn If You Got 'Em Adventure".

Tomboy: The reason why she want to be in Moon's friends group is because her friends Lola and Corinne got really into makeup and a website called "Bunches of Boys" and that's not really her thing. This also makes her the tomboy to Debbie's Girly Girl.
Unresolved Sexual Tension: It's quite clear that both Moon and Quinn like each other, but they're too nervous to admit it and they pretend they don't care about each other.

Out of Focus: Alanis is much less prone to appearing in Season 3 (outside of the updated opening, with even episodes focusing on Judy not being guaranteed to include a scene with her.
