The Heroes
WordGirl / Becky Botsford
Voiced by: xXEmpressTwilightRavenXx
As the title suggests, she's the main protagonist of the show. She's a 15-year-old who was adopted by the Botsfords after crash landing on Earth as a baby. She lives a double life as Fairy City's superheroine, WordGirl, using her superpowers and vocabulary to protect the city.- Alien Among Us: She's actually from the planet Lexicon.
- All Girls Like Ponies: Even five years later, she's still a fan of "Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour" and is eager to watch the reboot's premiere.
- Alliterative Name: Becky Botsford.
- Ambiguously Brown: Justified. She's the only Lexonite we know of.
- Brainy Brunette: Her vocabulary is extensive.
- By the Power of Grayskull!: When she transforms, she shouts "Word up!"
- Chest Insignia: She has one, though whether or not you can see it depends on the artist.
- Clark Kenting: In the five years since the show ended, no one (new) has figured out Becky's secret identity.
- Expy: Of Supergirl.
- Flight: She usually flies to get to the scene of a crime.
- Flying Brick: Her power set still includes Flight, Super-Strength, and Nigh-Invulnerability, among other powers.
- Happily Adopted: Like the show, Becky seems content with the family she has.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: One of her powers is her vocabulary.
- The Heroine: And a superheroine at that.
- Human Aliens: Nothing about her appearance would suggest she's an alien.
- Kid Hero: She may be a few years older, but she's still a kid.
- Muggle Foster Parents: She's an alien with superpowers. The Botsfords are regular humans.
- Protagonist Title: Just drop the subtitle and it's her name.
- Red is Heroic: Her costume is predominantly red, and some of the artists, like Saf and crayondoodle, give her a red silhouette.
- Secret Identity: It's supposed to be a secret that she's WordGirl.
- Secret-Keeper: She knows Bob's secret identity as Captain Huggyface.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Subverted, usually. Despite her amazing vocabulary, she usually prioritizes being understood over being impressive.
- Speaks Fluent Animal: Zigzagged. So far, she's only been shown speaking with Captain Huggyface.
- Super-Hearing: She can hear things happening all the way across the city.
- Super-Strength: She uses it to fight giant robots.
- Superheroes Wear Capes: And hers is yellow.
- Superpower Lottery: She's can fly, rip metal robots apart, and hear conversations happening nowhere near her, among other things. Makes sense, considering who she's an Expy of.
- True Companions: With Captain Huggyface. He's been by her side since she was a baby.
Captain Huggyface / Bob
Voiced by: stock monkey noises
A chimpanzee with intelligence that is at least equal to a human's. He was piloting the ship that crash landed on Earth with WordGirl and has stuck by her side. When he's not fighting crime with WordGirl, he's living with the Botsford family as their pet.- Alien Among Us: Like WordGirl, he's from the planet Lexicon.
- Apes in Space: He's a chimpanzee (or a close equivalent) who comes from space.
- Badass Adorable: A cute chimp who doubles as a superhero's sidekick.
- Blue is Heroic: His costume is predominantly blue, and some of the artists, like Saf, give him a blue silhouette.
- Formally-Named Pet: Played with. It's unclear if WordGirl named him Captain Huggyface, and his civilian name, Bob, certainly doesn't fit the bill.
- The Good Captain: He captained (and piloted) a spaceship before crash landing on Earth.
- Intellectual Animal: He's even smarter than some of the human citizens of Fair City.
- Killer Rabbit: In "Mousezilla 2.0," he latches on to Dr. Two-Brains' face.
- Non-Human Sidekick: Whether he's a chimpanzee or an alien, he's certainly not human.
- Secret-Keeper: He knows Becky's secret identity as WordGirl.
- Sidekick: This to WordGirl's heroine.
- True Companions: With Becky. He's been by her side since she was a baby.
- The Unintelligible: Becky is the only one who understands him.
The Narrator
Voiced by: Gabe Lerman
As his name suggests, he's the Narrator, though he may interrupt or interfere with the story. He's usually biased towards WordGirl, his usual conversation partner.- Breaking the Fourth Wall: While other characters do it from time to time, the Narrator does it the most. It's kind of his job, after all.
- Interactive Narrator: So much so that Becky has no issues shushing him in "Mousezilla 2.0" when he tries to narrate her first scene.
- Medium Awareness: Uses words like "episode."
- The Omniscient: He knows what's going on all over Fair City.
The Villains
All
The antagonists that battle WordGirl daily.
- Out of Focus: Due to the large cast of villains, some show up far less often than others.
Theodore "Tobey" McCallister III
Voiced by: Gold Ninja
Becky's classmate who attacks the city with giant robots. He may be a genius when it comes to robotics, but socially, he struggles, especially when someone brings up his crush on WordGirl.- Affably Evil: In "Mousezilla 2.0," he tells WordGirl how to power the titular robot down.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Becky.
- Book Smart: Hence his knowledge of robotics.
- Child Prodigy: Five years later and he's still building giant, city-destroying robots.
- Deadpan Snarker: While not as much as Doctor Two-Brains, he has his moments.
- Disappeared Dad: Just like in the original show, Tobey's dad has gone entirely unmentioned.
- Don't Tell Mama: She usually finds out anyways.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He at least respects his mother, and while he tries to deny it, he has a crush on WordGirl.
- Evil Brit: Played with. He has a genuine British accent, but he's not British.
- Evil Counterpart: To Becky. They may be intellectual equals, but how they use that intelligence sets them apart.
- Evil Genius: And he will tell you as much.
- Evil Nerd: Even five years later, Tobey is still wearing his signature sweater and glasses.
- Fantasy-Forbidding Mother: About his robots.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He has Nerd Glasses and is a villain.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Considering he has no powers of his own, it's the main reason he poses any kind of threat.
- Insufferable Genius: Though others will also acknowledge he's a genius, he can get a big head.
- Living with the Villain: He doesn't know that WordGirl is actually his classmate, Becky.
- Momma's Boy: His mother is usually the one who punishes him for his villainous behavior.
- Narcissist: His arrogance annoys other characters, even if his pride in his intellect is somewhat deserved, considering he's a genius.
- Nerd Glasses: The style hasn't changed in the five years since the original show.
- Only Known by His Nickname: Usually he's just called Tobey.
- Robot Master: It's his whole thing.
- Smart People Speak the Queen's English: He's an Evil Brit and Gadgeteer Genius.
- Smug Snake: At times.
- Villainous Crush: On WordGirl.
Doctor Two-Brains / Professor Steven Boxleitner
Voiced by: Bear
A Freak Lab Accident merged his brain with an evil lab mouse, and he went from being a benevolent scientist and friend of WordGirl to a villainous scientist who terrorizes Fair City and is obsessed with cheese.- Affably Evil: He and WordGirl might not be friends anymore, but that doesn't mean they aren't friendly.
- Babysitter Friendship: Played with. In "Mousezilla 2.0," he seems happy to spend time with (aka commit crime with) Tobey. Tobey not so much.
- Body and Host: Doctor Two-Brains is usually the one in control, but Steven Boxleitner and Squeaky both exist within one another.
- Body Horror: Squeaky's brain is on the side of Doctor Two-Brains' head.
- Brainy Brunette: Before the Freak Lab Accident.
- Comfort Food: Cheese, thanks to Squeaky.
- Deadpan Snarker: He's sarcastic
- Dr. Brainpart: Dr. Two-Brains.
- Einstein Hair: After becoming Dr. Two-Brains.
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: He's a doctor (well, professor) who has two brains.
- Face-Heel Turn: He used to be WordGirl's friend and helped her from time to time...until the accident turned him into a villainous, cheese-obsessed scientist.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Professor Steven Boxleitner wasn't well-known. Doctor Two-Brains, on the other hand...
- Fusion Dance: Squeaky and Steven Boxleitner.
- G-Rated Drug: Cheese, thanks to Squeaky.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Most of his plans include at least one gadget.
- Idiosyncrazy: Cheese and mice.
- Labcoat of Science and Medicine: He's a scientist who wears a lab coat.
- Little Bit Beastly: Even more so than in the original show. Now he's got mouse ears and a mouse tail.
- Loss of Identity: What happens to Steven after merging with Squeaky.
- Mad Scientist: Played straight. He's an evil scientist with crazy plans that mostly revolve around cheese.
- Marry the Nanny: Played with. When Mrs. McCallister drops Tobey off with him, he's a little flirty.
- Meaningful Name: He literally has two brains.
- A Mischief of Mice: Turns out Squeaky isn't one of the Nice Mice after all.
- Nice Mice: Subverted. Squeaky is the reason Doctor Two-Brains is evil.
- Team Dad: Played with with his relationship with WordGirl (both before and after the accident) and his relationship with Tobey.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Cheese, thanks to Squeaky.
- Two Beings, One Body: Squeaky and Steven both exist as separate entities in Doctor Two-Brains.
- Was Once a Man: Before the accident, he was a regular human.
- We Used to Be Friends: He and WordGirl were friends before the accident.
- White Hair, Black Heart: It only turned white after he merged with Squeaky and became evil.
- Wild Hair: Like all the best mad scientists.
- Would Hurt a Child: Considering he had no qualms fighting WordGirl as a child, it makes sense that he doesn't have any issues with fighting her as a teenager either.
Citizens
Mrs. McCallister
Voiced by: Lady Rashta
Tobey's mother.- Fantasy-Forbidding Mother: To Tobey, at least when it comes to evil robots.
- Marry the Nanny: Played with. When she drops Tobey off with Doctor Two-Brains, he's a little flirty.
- My Beloved Smother: Justified. Tobey is known for attempting to destroy the city multiple times, so it's no surprise she thinks he needs a babysitter in "Mousezilla 2.0." Though it begs the question of why she'd pick Doctor Two-Brains to be his babysitter.
- Parental Neglect: Played with. She hires a babysitter for Tobey and wants him to stay out of trouble, but even five years after the original show, she still hasn't done much to really try and stop his villainous behavior.
