The characters in The True Meaning Of Smekday.
J.Lo
- Bizarre Alien Sexes: Tip's first guess that he is a boy turns out to be correct. What this means in a context where the other genders are "girl, boygirl, girlboy, boyboy, boyboygirl, and boyboyboyboy" is unclear.
- Extreme Omnivore: He can (and likes to) eat shaving cream, glue and urinal deodorizers.
- Gender-Blender Name: Due to a misunderstanding he decided J.Lo would be his "earth name."
- Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds: Accidentally summoned the Gorg to Earth while doing radio tower maintenance.
- Strange-Syntax Speaker
- Undying Loyalty: Becomes evident when Tip realizes that he joined her in a vehicle that he knew was in danger of exploding, thinking that she also knew due to language confusion.
Gratuity "Tip" Tucci
- Kid Hero: She's only eleven during the events of the story.
- Little Miss Snarker
- Only Sane Man: Seems to be this to both her mom and to J.Lo.
Pig
- Cats Are Lazy: Sleeps quite a bit.
