* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:After going on a massive six week binge with Bojack, she ends up falling unconscious at the planetarium and dies once she gets to the hospital]]

** Her and BoJack also seem to have a somewhat friendly - if unhealthy - dynamic after they discontinue their sexual relationship.
* AttentionWhore: She wants to be the center of attention at all times, and she's willing to go to extremes, including self-mutilation, to achieve that. [[spoiler:Deconstructed in "The View From Halfway Down", in which she reveals that in her mind, she's given her entire life to her fans, the only reason she resorts to sexual outbursts and attention-grabbing gimmicks is to cater to their expectations. That being said, the whole thing ''did'' happen in [=BoJack's=]mind, so we're not sure as to how accurate the whole thing is.]]

* CigaretteOfAnxiety: Uses this as an excuse to skip the rest of Herb's funeral in "Still Broken", since she doesn't want to stay and be reminded of him. That's when [=BoJack=] catches her and they start to reconnect.

* JailBait: For [=BoJack=]. Although when he tries to argue this as a reason to not sleep with her, Penny tells her that her age, 17, is of legal consent in New Mexico.

* RapeAsBackstory: {{Implied|Trope}}, what with her being homeschooled and [[spoiler: familiar with bear fur because of her bear stepfather.]]

* SpoiledBrat: Not a particularly extreme example, but she herself freely admits that she was never told "no" as a child and as a result can't even process the concept of rejection.

* MumLooksLikeASister: Aside from some natural signs of aging, she is drawn very similarly to how she used to look in her youth, and as a result looks similar to her daughter Penny.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's cynical, acerbic, and aloof--Bojack even calls her a "sentient wall of spikes"--but as season 5 progresses, she opens up and reveals a softer and surprisingly {{adorkable}} side to [=BoJack=].

Despite some chemistry with [=BoJack=], Charlotte left L.A. after the creation of ''JustForFun/HorsinAround'', and becomes TheOneThatGotAway for him. They catch up at Herb's funeral, where Charlotte, now married with two kids, invites [=BoJack=] to visit her in New Mexico. This sets up crucial events near the end of Season 2.

The actress who played Sabrina, the Horse's younger human daughter on ''JustForFun/HorsinAround''. After several attempts to stay famous, including a pop album and fashion line, she ends up burnt out and drug-addicted. In Season 1, she and Bojack reconnect and reestablish their friendship.

* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:After going on a massive binge with Bojack, she ends up dying in a planetarium.]]

* PassedInTheirSleep: [[spoiler: After too much drugs and recklessness, Sarah Lynn dies sleeping at the planetarium in "That's Too Much, Man!".]]

* DogsAreDumb: Much like Mr. Peanutbutter, she's not terribly bright and can be forgetful.

* MayDecemberRomance: She's thirty years younger than Mr. Peanutbutter.

* ReallyGetsAround: Sleeps with over 30 people [[spoiler:in an effort to even things out between her and Mr. Peanutbutter after the latter cheats on her with Diane, as per their mutual plan. Mr. Peanutbutter's cheerfully encouraging of this.]]
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Even with the ridiculous ThemeNaming of canines in the series, Pickles takes the cake (biscuit?) of having the punniest name so far.
* WomanChild: Part of the reason she connects so well with Mr. Peanutbutter.

* AttentionWhore: She wants to be the center of attention at all times, and she's willing to go to extremes, including self-mutilation, to achieve that.

* CastIncest: An in-universe example. In a drunken stupor, Sarah Lynn and Bojack, who played her foster father in ''Horsin' Around'', have a blow-out argument, [[SlapSlapKiss then have sex]].

* ClothingReflectsPersonality: Her default outfit is an endorsement rather than one she chose herself, showing she's sold out to Hollywood.

* MamaBear: Part of being GoodParents. Although she's a civilian shopkeeper, she threatens to kill Bojack if he tries to contact her daughter again after he nearly sleeps with her. Later, she calls [=BoJack=] in a fury when journalists come to ask Penny some questions about the horse and Sarah Lynn; Charlotte found out that [=BoJack=] went to Oberlin to apologize, and tells him to deal with the journlaists.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Turns out her experiences in "Escape From L.A." haven't affected her that much and has matured into a young adult now going to college. [[HopeSpot Too bad]] [[FromBadToWorse [=BoJack=] wanted to make amends.]] With that said, she seems to be fine as of "Good Damage" and willing to process the taruma.

* GoodParents: Kind, friendly, and looks out for her kids.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. Charlotte's glad to see [=BoJack=] visiting her, which makes her ignore some of his questionable actions like moving next to the Carsons's house for two months and taking Penny to the prom. She ''does'', however, notice something is troubling him and even has a heart to heart with [=BoJack=] in which she realizes how sad and lonely he is and how much trouble he could cause if he stays.

* MamaBear: Part of being GoodParents. Although she's a civilian shopkeeper, she threatens to kill Bojack if he tries to contact her daughter again after he nearly sleeps with her.

* TheOneWhoMadeItOut: Out of the three friends from Hollywood, she's the only one who was smart enough to leave Hollywood when she could, and turned out all the better because of it. Too bad she invited that toxic side back into her life..

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Turns out her experiences in "Escape From L.A." haven't affected her that much and has matured into a young adult now going to college. [[HopeSpot Too bad]] [[FromBadToWorse [=BoJack=] wanted to make amends.]]

->'''Debut:''' "Out to Sea"

A Hollywood film publicist known as "The Oscar Whisperer", she's known to correctly predict (and influence) one person's probability to win an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for a performance.

!!Unsorted

* AmbiguouslyJewish: Her original surname was "Helmulfarb", according to the captions, which seems to be a garbled version of "Himmelfarb", a generally Ashkenazi Jewish surname. Also, she mentions that she doesn't want her body to be a temple because she's been to Temple and it's boring; using "Temple" in that context implies a Jewish service.

!!Other Families

!!!'''Carson Family'''

[[folder:Carson Family (in general)]]
* BraggingThemeTune: As it details below in {{Leitmotif}}, "Kyle and The Kids" is basically a description of the life of Charlotte's family and how they're perfectly happy with no one to ruin their happiness. Ouch.
* ChubbyMamaSkinnyPapa: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with Charlotte and her husband, Kyle. She's slim and fit, while Kyle's a BigBeautifulMan.
* DysfunctionalFamily: Not overtly or completely so, but there were problems with the family before our [[NominalHero "hero"]] arrived. He just had to make them '''worse'''.
* GenderEqualsBreed: Penny, the daughter, is the same species as her mother yet has her father's hair color in the fur. Trip is a human like his dad and clearly has the same hair.
* HappilyMarried: Charlotte is in a stable, loving, and and secure marriage with Kyle; this reveal to [=BoJack=] in "Escape From L.A." makes him very shocked and regretful.
* HumanMomNonHumanDad: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Penny and Trip's parents are respectively a female doe and a human, with each one of their offspring being of one of their species (Penny being a doe with same color as dear ol' daddy and Trip a human with the same hair color).
* InferredHolocaust: After [=BoJack=] leaves, the disasters he caused around people, especially the Carsons, are left unsolved.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8KOp1-XBMc "Kyle And The Kids"]], an upbeat 80's style sitcom song containing LyricalDissonance and MoodDissonance considering how bleak is the episode in which it plays.
* MissedHimByThatMuch: One of the pictures from the PhotoMontage in "Escape From L.A." shows the Carson family vacationing at Todd's Disneyland. Since that park burned down at the end of "Yesterdayland", they were attending at the same time ''[=BoJack=] and Wanda were.''
* PhotoMontage: At the beginning of the episode, in order to explain who's who in the family.
* TwoFirstNames: "Carson" can also be used as a first name.
* WalkingSpoiler: Since they basically spoil what Charlotte has been doing since last seen by [=BoJack=], so yeah.

[[folder:Charlotte Carson]]
!!!'''Charlotte Carson (née Moore)'''
[[quoteright:176:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/charlotte1.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/OliviaWilde
->'''Debut:''' ???

An old friend of [=BoJack=] and Herb (whom she briefly dated) from before they made it big. Despite some chemistry with [=BoJack=], Charlotte left L.A. after the creation of ''JustForFun/HorsinAround'', and becomes TheOneThatGotAway for him. They catch up at Herb's funeral, where Charlotte, now married with two kids, invites [=BoJack=] to visit her in New Mexico. This sets up crucial events near the end of Season 2.

* AmbitionIsEvil: She believes Los Angeles is a tar pit, where people get so caught up in chasing dreams that they drown themselves. Charlotte notably wound up with a humble, showbiz-free life compared to Herb or [=BoJack=].
* {{Bambification}}: Charlotte is a deer, and her presence often exudes an aura of hope and innocence in [=BoJack=]'s life, be it in {{Flashback}}s, hallucinations or just plain fantasies of life outside Hollywoo. This only serves to contrast her presence in [[Recap/BojackHorsemanS2E11EscapeFromLA "Escape From L.A."]] as even more jarring: she's unwilling to be that crutch to [=BoJack=] and it leads to a moment so horrifying that shakes her to the core.
* TheBeard: Herb dated her before he was outed as gay.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Despite her genial personality, she threatens to kill Bojack if he shows up around Tesuque or near her family again.
* BrutalHonesty: She doesn't hesitate to be blunt about what she wants to say. For example, one of the first things she says to [=BoJack=] when meeting in Tesuque after a while?
-->''When's the last time you slept? You look like shit.''
* ChekhovsGunman: She's mentioned and shown in a {{Flashback}} in "The Telescope" as Herb's girlfriend and someone who [=BoJack=] had a secret (and unconfessed) crush on. She returns for a brief cameo at Herb's funeral, exchanging some catch-up with [=BoJack=] and suggesting that he may visit her some time. Then comes the 2nd season episode "[[DramaBomb Escape From L.A.]]"...
* CigaretteOfAnxiety: Uses this as an excuse to skip the rest of Herb's funeral in "Still Broken", since she doesn't want to stay and be reminded of him. That's when [=BoJack=] catches her and they start to reconnect.
* DeadpanSnarker: Her sarcasm is rather deadpan, but still good-natured.
** "Still Broken" has two examples back-to-back.
*** When she's asked about why she wandered off Herb's funeral, Charlotte has only this to say:
--->'''Charlotte''': I'm no good with funerals. When I cry, it messes up my makeup and then I get really bummed out.
*** Her response to [=BoJack=]'s question about whether Herb talked about their meeting when the two meet again at his funeral:
--->'''[=BoJack=]''': Did he tell you anything else?\\
'''Charlotte''': No, we talked about cancer, how hard it is living with cancer, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking about the L.A. Kings]], and [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment then back to cancer.]] [...][[DistinctionWithoutADifference Then I read that chapter in your book about how he never forgave you and he tried to kick you out of the house and you ended up wrestling on the floor over a telescope.]]
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Charlotte moved to Maine to figure out what she wanted in life. It doesn't last long, as she moved to New Mexico about a month later.
* DueToTheDead: She returns briefly to L.A. to attend Herb's funeral.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Charlotte's first appearance in "The Telescope" pretty much lay the foundation of her character: [[NiceGirl she salutes [=BoJack=] upon his entrance in the Laugh Shack]], tries to slip him a beer when she thinks he might nervous about his act while playfully bantering with him and then [[CannotSpitItOut makes thinly-veiled suggestions]] about wanting the horse to accompany her (and Herb, of course!) to see ''Film/BackToTheFuture''.
* {{Foil}}: To [[Characters/BojackHorsemanTheHorseHimself [=BoJack=]]] and [[Characters/BojackHorsemanHorsinAroundCastAndCrew Herb]]:
** Like Herb, she has a deep attachment to [=BoJack=] and her friends, but while Herb has ambitions and follows them, Charlotte comes to the realization that she's coat tailing someone else's without stopping to think about her own.
** Charlotte has a family, is perfectly happy and stable and is simply able to live a normal, uneventful life due to having left [=BoJack=] and L.A. behind. [=BoJack=]'s life is completely out of control, has no children, family or stable friendships all because he chose a life in L.A. instead of going with Charlotte.
* AFriendInNeed: She allows [=BoJack=] to stay with her family because she knows he needs support.
* GoodParents: Kind, friendly, and looks out for her kids.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. Charlotte's glad to see [=BoJack=] visiting her, which makes her ignore some of his questionable actions like moving next to the Carsons's house for two months and taking Penny to the prom. She ''does'', however, notice something is troubling him and even has a heart to heart with [=BoJack=] in which she realizes how sad and lonely he is and how much trouble he could cause if he stays.
* IncompatibleOrientation: She used to date Herb, who was StraightGay. As she slowly realized that they had different goals, Charlotte decided to leave Hollywood since she noted that "she isn't the person Herb is looking for".
* InterspeciesFriendship: With [=BoJack=] (a horse) and Herb (a human). She remained friends with Herb after their breakup until his death from cancer and a peanut truck crash, while her friendship with [=BoJack=] hit an stagnation point after TheEighties and was put to rest after the incidents of "Escape From L.A.".
* InterspeciesRomance: She (a doe) was in a relationship with Herb (a human), and now is married to Kyle, another human.
* {{Irony}}: Charlotte's idyllic life in New Mexico is ruined by [=BoJack=] trying to impose ''his'' own version of an idyllic life together.
* JustFriends: Despite their past chemistry, she tries to remain nothing more than a supportive friend to [=BoJack=] after reuniting in [[Recap/BojackHorsemanS2E11EscapeFromLA "Escape From L.A."]], but through a mixture of him trying to replicate his dream life with her by hanging on to her Family and her unwillingness to think too hard about the past and what could have been, it collapses instead.
* LeavingYouToFindMyself: The breaking point for Charlotte's decision to say good riddance to L.A. was realizing she was in a loveless relationship following around two guys whose dreams weren't the same as hers, so she goes to Maine and then New Mexico to build a good life.
* LiquidCourage: {{Invoked|Trope}} from her part in "The Telescope". When [=BoJack=]'s about to go up on stage to do his stand-up act, Charlotte secretly slips him a beer behing her boss's back for some reassurance. [[DefiedTrope He refuses]]. Go figure.
* LustObject: For [=BoJack=], although unlike other examples of the trope, he ''is'' genuinely interested in Charlotte, even if it's made painfully clear that he's interested [[LovingAShadow in who she was rather than who she is now]].
* MamaBear: Part of being GoodParents. Although she's a civilian shopkeeper, she threatens to kill Bojack if he tries to contact her daughter again after he nearly sleeps with her.
* MellowFellow: GenderFlipped version. Very calm, rarely gets worked about something and tries to defuse conflicts as much as she can. That being said, when the fuse is short of exploding, this trope goes out of the window and it ''shows''.
* MinorMajorCharacter: She doesn't appear as often as other important supporting characters like [[Characters/BojackHorsemanHorsinAroundCastAndCrew Sarah Lynn]], yet nevertheless she's one of the biggest influences in [=BoJack=]'s life and each of her appearances often result in big changes for the series. Without her, [=BoJack=] would probably have no other alternative than Hollywoo and might have not committed one, no, check that, two of his [[MyGreatestFailure greatest failures]].
* MumLooksLikeASister: Aside from some natural signs of aging, she is drawn very similarly to how she used to look in her youth, and as a result looks similar to her daughter Penny.
* MyCard: She gives Bojack her card and direction after Herb's funeral in case he wants to visit.
* NewOldFlame: PlayedWith. Charlotte appears once again in season 2 and once she talks with [=Bojack=] and gives him her card suggesting he visits her at New Mexico sometime, the show appears to be setting them up as a possible couple, only to then subvert it when it turns out she's now married and has no outward interest in taking a trip down memory's lane like [=BoJack=]'d wish. [[RealityEnsues Of course, it's not like she had been waiting him all those years.]]
* NiceGirl: She's always helpful, kind and caring. When [=BoJack=] shows up at Tesuque to visit her, she offers him to stay a while at her house after seeing how tired he is. Of course, that doesn't mean she won't threaten to kill you if you try to sleep with her daughter.
* OlderAndWiser: Somewhat. She's certainly accommodated into normalcy, is more mature than she was back in the day and even has a better grasp on people around her than 20 years ago.
* OldFriend: One of [=BoJack=]'s friends from TheEighties, as well as an [[OldFlame Old]] [[{{UST}} Possible]] [[OldFlame Flame]]. By season 2, she's the last friend he has left from around that era. {{Deconstruction}} ensues that inevitably lead to its collapse in "Escape From L.A."
* OneHourWorkWeek: She handles personally a textile shop and judging by her informality when it comes to work hours, she can come and go anytime she pleases.
* TheOneThatGotAway: Bojack is still incredibly hung up on her to the point that he eventually goes to New Mexico just to find her and realizes that she has truly gotten away for the better.
* TheOneWhoMadeItOut: Out of the three friends from Hollywood, she's the only one who was smart enough to leave Hollywood when she could, and turned out all the better because of it. Too bad she invited that toxic side back into her life..
* PresentAbsence: Even 20 years after having seen her for the last time, she's still fresh in [=BoJack=]'s mind.
* PunBasedTitle: Her shop is called "Your Deer Friend".
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Before leaving L.A., Charlotte gave [=BoJack=] a short, but painful and accurate one. Worst of all, it didn't came out of hatred or exasperation, but of disappointment:
-->''Hey, do you ever wonder what would have happened if you'd met me before Herb did? Would you have made a move on me? [...] I don't think you would have. You know why? I think you're a coward.''
* RebelRelaxation: During her re-introduction in "[[Recap/BojackHorsemanS2E03StillBroken Still Broken]]", as she unwinds with a smoke under the fresh cover of a tree after Herb's funeral.
* SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes: In her first {{Flashback}} appearance from TheEighties, Charlotte mentions to [=BoJack=] that she and Herb later are heading to watch Film/BackToTheFuture ''again'' when passing through the comedy club.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Her reaction to Herb scoring the television project and [=BoJack=] simply being content with what he has. Since they both seem to have their own plans and they deviate from any kind of group thing, Charlotte decides she has to leave in order to find her own path.
* SecondarySexualCharacteristics: A HumanoidFemaleAnimal with FurryFemaleMane, curvy figure, breasts and groomed style.
* SelfMadeWoman: Nowadays, she owns and works in a textile store in the streets of Tesuque, New Mexico and seems to get a reliable income from it, even if she admits it's not the only textile store in town. She tells [=BoJack=] that she worked very hard to build her life.
* ShipSinking: Any chance Bojack had to reunite with Charlotte was shot and left to bleed out when he discovered she was married. And it was put out of its misery when she caught him with her daughter.
* ShipTease: Charlotte's interactions with [=BoJack=] back in the day had shades of this, with her often dropping hints about a reciprocating attraction towards him and often hanging out with him more than Herb. One interpretation for her final speech to him before leaving L.A. and before discovering him with her daughter is Charlotte reminding herself that as much attraction as there is between them, [=BoJack=] is ''not'' a viable romantic partner.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: In the present, she has settled down with Kyle Carson, a good guy and supportive husband who clearly makes her happy. This is why she refutes [=BoJack=]'s attempts to get her to run away with him.
* TextileWorkIsFeminine: Charlotte now owns a hand-woven crafts shop filled with blankets and other stuff called "Your Deer Friend" in Tesuque, although she's not over enthusiastic about it and admits that there are a lot of shops like that around.
* TranquilFury: When she's rattled enough, as [=BoJack=] finds out. She never really raises her voice, but it's clear that every word she's spitting is meant to the fullest extent possible, and there's no doubt to anyone that she'll keep her promise of trying to kill [=BoJack=] if he ever returns.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Had this with [=BoJack=] back in TheEighties, since it's clear from their interactions that Charlotte and him have much more chemistry than she and Herb, not to say about how she often confides more into him than Herb. From their last interaction, it's revealed that Herb spotted her first and actually had the guts to go talk to her (despite being gay), while [=BoJack=] who was interested, never moved a finger. Charlotte catches around this and decides to shoot down a possible relationship when she decides to leave L.A. based on his supposed cowardly nature. When they're reunited 20 years later, she seems to be a little more supportive of him than she should, and when his attraction is made evident, the arguments she gives to stop are more like reminders for herself rather than outright dismissals.
* YourMakeupIsRunning: {{Discussed}}. She explains to [=BoJack=] that this is the reason why she doesn't like attending funerals: the tears that swell up in her eyes usually ruin her mascara and she doesn't want to make an scene at Herb's funeral.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EdHelms
->'''Debut:''' "Escape from L.A."

Charlotte's human husband, and the father of Penny and Trip.

* BigBeautifulMan: He's a bit overweight, but otherwise, has a relatively good physique.
* BrutalHonesty: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Kyle's not confident about his son entering the school team but is not willing to say so to him. He is willing to tell this to Charlotte.
* BumblingDad: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. He is certainly goofy and laid-back, but knows when to put his foot down and isn't stupid or gullible at all.
* ChubbyMamaSkinnyPapa: {{Inverted|Trope}} with his wife, Charlotte. She's slim and fit, while Kyle's a BigBeautifulMan.
* GoodParents: He and Charlotte are actually quite lenient and attentive with their kids, yet still know when to put limits and put them on line.
* HappilyMarried: Kyle is in a stable, loving, and secure marriage with Charlotte. "The Showstopper", however, had Kyle admit their marriage hit a rough patch, but according to him they worked it out.
* InterspeciesRomance: He (a human) is married to Charlotte (a doe).
* {{Irony}}: Kyle didn't trust [=BoJack=] when he first arrived, believing the latter in having an ulterior motive for visiting. After he's stayed for over 2 months, at which point any good intentions he had with the family have long since vanished.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Just like Trip, Kyle is busy sleeping while the DramaBomb is going off in [=BoJack=]'s boat. Of course, one can only imagine what will happen when he wakes up and Charlotte tells him what happened...
** [[spoiler: He's also made unaware by Charlotte of the two "refrigerator repairmen" being reporters asking Penny about Bojack and Sara Lynn in "Good Damage". With the way he doesn't suspect anything about or Penny's distress, it's left ambiguous if Charlotte ever told him what happened with Bojack at all.]]
* MellowFellow: Kyle's down to earth, personable and non-confrontational.
* MotivationalLie: Encourages Trip to continue his attempts at the tryouts for the high school team, only to then confide to Charlotte that ''he's never going to make it''.
* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: When hearing about Penny's prom problem, Kyle tries to cheer her up by dressing and going as her date as a father-daughter bonding activity. However, [=BoJack=] offers and Penny accepts and a dejected Kyle simply accepts it.
* NiceGuy: If the rest of the tropes listed in here aren't proof, nothing is.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Charlotte mentions that Kyle's sleeping in the [[DramaBomb last third]] of "Escape From L.A.". Not that it's gonna be easier when he wakes up.
* StiffUpperLip: Often maintains a calm demeanor even when feeling mad or hurt. His reaction to Penny going with [=BoJack=] instead of making it a father-daughter dance seals it:
-->''Oh, yeah, well, [[TinMan that's definitely the better idea]].''
* TheStoic: Not unfeeling by any case, but Kyle keeps his composure and he only has subtle mood changes.
* UnknownRival: Kyle has no idea that [=BoJack=] has an unresolved attraction towards his wife or that he sees him as a hindrance. Ironically, he only starts trusting him after he has stayed 2 months with the family. When he first arrived, he was highly suspicious.

[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4kosqir_2.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Ilana Glazer
->'''Debut:''' "Escape from L.A."

A brown doe and Charlotte's daughter after settling down in New Mexico and getting married.

* AdultsAreUseless: Penny's [[InUniverse perception]] of her parents, although it's presented in a more realistic way than usually presented. Charlotte is clearly trying to connect with her daughter Penny in such turbulent times like adolescence, but TheGenerationGap makes them see the world differently: Charlotte thinks that Penny needs to listen and understand that she has lived through the same thing, while Penny thinks the best course of action is try to establish her independence and from her own path away from other influences. It only gets worse when [=BoJack=] arrives, since their rift is intensified by both being ignorant about him in their own ways: the mother thinks he's a returning friend and the daughter that he's a kindred soul. The former's beliefs leads her to trust the horse far more than her own judgement, allowing him to get closer to Penny.
* AppealToPopularity: Like any teenager, Penny follows the crowd and tries to keep up appearances for the sake of popularity and self-esteem. Hell, the reason why she has pressured her dad to give her driving lessons is because she's the only senior who hasn't got a driving license. A unique approach, since the episode shows that this attitude is nothing more than a façade of her rampant confusion of what she doesn't know and that establishing herself as a moral center is ''bad'' when you're vulnerable, unable to grasp the whole truth and a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She bonds with [=BoJack=] because he's the first one to have treated her like an adult.
%%* BirdsOfAFeather: With [=BoJack=], since he still has the mind of a teenager.
* BigEgoHiddenDepths: She acts all confident and haughty, but she has a surprising amount of vulnerability typical of a teenager.
%%* BrattyTeenageDaughter: A realistic portrayal, with a [[DumbassTeenageSon dumbass teenage brother]] to boot.
* BreakTheCutie: Two instances of her life in this trope:
** A lighter example: When Diego rejects her and goes to the prom with Lyla K., Penny goes on a brief slump.
** A darker/more extreme example: [[spoiler:When she spots [=BoJack=] at her college in Ohio, a year after the boat incident. Her increasingly frightened attitude and backing away makes it clear she has absolutely no interest in reliving that moment, let alone see him. The fact he ''somehow'' knew where she was (thanks to Sarah Lynn), and the trench coat he wore made the encounter even more terrifying.]]
* BrokenPedestal: [[Characters/BojackHorsemanTheHorseHimself [=BoJack=]]]. Penny becomes good friends with him during his time in Tesuque and even takes her to the prom after Diego, her crush, turns her down. However, the tragedies surrounding the evening become more and more troubling for her (drunk driving, possible alcohol poisoning, irresponsibility galore), until she almost sleeps with [=BoJack=] believing he's the only adult who understands her, something he avoids until he's too depressed to even care. [[spoiler:By the time they re-encounter, Penny is now scared of [=BoJack=] and is traumatized by the possibility that he's been following her..[[note]]which he has, but for good (if horribly misguided) reasons[[/note]]]]
* CannotSpitItOut: Towards her crush, Diego Mendoza. She prefers to stalk him rather than speak face-to-face.
* CharacterDevelopment: In the season 3 episode "That's Too Much, Man!", Penny is revealed to have entered an university in Ohio and has finally gained enough common sense and maturity to deal with her personal life out of home. Further reinforced by her reaction to seeing [=BoJack=] again: first surprised, then repulsed and scared because of what they almost did together. It continues in "Good Damage," where she talks with her mother about what happened and if it may be worth telling her story so other people won't feel bad about their traumatic experiences. Penny regrets nearly sleeping with [=BoJack=] but knows that he was an adult who should have said no and she was a confused teen. Charlotte doesn't forbid Penny from [[spoiler:talking to the reporters investigating Sarah Lynn's death, but she suggests Penny think about it before calling them. We don't know for certain if Penny talks to them since Paige's priority was about why [=BoJack=] left Sarah Lynn to die, but she does think about it]].
* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: PlayedWith. She's most definitely this with Allison Flierl, the school's resident {{nerd}}. However, Allison, judging by comments, is more of a CoolLoser and Penny, while higher in the social hierarchy, is not that popular. After two months and being with the cool kids, Penny eventually denies being friends with her at all, putting the state of their current relationship in question.
* CommonalityConnection: Bojack and Penny don't start on the right foot, but after they come clean to each other about certain things, they become as thick as thieves.
* DaddysGirl: {{Implied}} to have been this somewhere in the past. Not so much nowadays.
-->'''Penny''': If there's anything I can do to help around here, Mom. Dad was supposed to take me driving after school today, but now he's gotta take Trip to his dumb-ass basketball game.
** When she's lacking a date to the prom, [=BoJack=] offers - only for Penny's father to walk in dressed in a tuxedo and a bouquet of flowers behind his back, obviously willing to accompany his daughter to the dance as moral support.
--->'''Kyle''': Oh, yeah, well, [[StiffUpperLip that's definitely the better idea]].
* DeadpanSnarker: She has her moments.
-->''' Trip''': (arguing about why he needs to go to the game) It's the quarter-finals.
-->''' Penny''': You'll just get a hard-on in the game.
* DecoyProtagonist: In [[Recap/BojackHorsemanS2E11EscapeFromLA "Escape From L.A."]]. Once the story kicks in, Charlotte recedes into the background while her daughter, Penny and her own issues take center stage. Yet, for how much focus the little doe receives in the episode, Charlotte still remains at the center of the story as the major catalyst of two major events in it.
* DesignatedDriver: Leads to her being the OnlySaneWoman in regards to Bojack getting bourbon to replace the Red Bull and Vodka mix that Maddy had in a flask.
%%* DoYouWantToCopulate: She offers herself to [=BoJack=] in a rather clumsy way.
* DoggedNiceGirl: When she finally musters the courage to ask her crush, Diego Mendoza, out, he rejects her and goes to the prom with another girl. Happens again with [=BoJack=]... at first.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Penny's alibi to get out of the house is to get [=BoJack=] to teach her how to drive. {{Downplayed}} given she's not that bad, except when bothered or embarrassed.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Turns out her experiences in "Escape From L.A." haven't affected her that much and has matured into a young adult now going to college. [[HopeSpot Too bad]] [[FromBadToWorse [=BoJack=] wanted to make amends.]]
* EroticEating: {{Discussed}} when in an attempt to convince [=BoJack=] to have sex, Penny mentions her ability to put a condom in a banana.
-->'''Bojack''': With your mouth? What kind of health class was that?
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Once the entire Carson family is presented in "Escape From L.A.", Penny's first line involves [[ArmorPiercingQuestion asking who [=BoJack=] is with some distrust and then following with wondering why he's here in the first place]]. [[AwesomenessByAnalysis He's mom's old friend. What, he came all the way down here just to see her?]] Is he expecting something, hoping she was still single after more than 20 years and start dating? And then, after he takes her driving and both come clean about their respective secrets (she was driving near her crush's house [spying on him] [[NotSoDifferent and]] he is running away from the person he was back in L.A. [he wants to restart anew with Charlotte and even have a new life away from Hollywoo]), she changes her tune to "[[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe Maybe he's not so bad after all]]".
* ExpospeakGag: When Bojack asks for context on her [[StalkerWithACrush "relationship"]] with Diego, Penny starts explaining it....by talking about how her friends counseled on what to do to ask him out, while failing to provide any context for the people she's mentioning.
-->'''Penny''': So, anyway. My best friend, Alison F. was talking to Rachel Kaplan....
-->''' Bojack''': [[LampshadeHanging Do I really need to know these names?]]
-->''' Penny''': Rachel heard from Ray-Ray and the Bean that Diego said if prom happened right now he'd want to go with Ali Sandler.....
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: PlayedWith. While she starts as a sort of Responsible Sibling to Trip's Foolish Sibling, the events of the episode "Escape From L.A." focus on her and some of her less wise decisions, while less focus on Trip makes him come off as the (relatively) sane one.
* FriendshipDenial: After the TimeSkip, Penny denies been friends with Alison Flierl when talking with Maddy. Whether they're still in a good standing and she's just saving face or she's really no longer friends with her isn't revealed.
* FriendshipFavoritism: While Penny is smart enough to know better than choose sides, she's passive and insecure enough to embrace the relationships that will make her life better and have a perception of life she'd like. This has backfired on her in several occasions:
** For starters, her relationship with [=BoJack=], contrasting that of her parents, comes first even at the cost of practical advice and knowledge from Charlotte and Kyle. Being of similar minds, Penny believes [=BoJack=] to be more understanding, less judgmental and because of her naïvety and arrogance, to be the only adult with some sense of how serious everything in her life is. As such, even if her common sense tells her otherwise, she just follows his lead and considers him a good influence for her. [[ToxicFriendInfluence It couldn't be farther from the truth]], but ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime. [[spoiler:Of course, once innocents get hurt and hormones get in the way, things get a lot more murky. Now, Penny has learned to do better the hard way.]]
** Pre-TimeSkip, she was often implied to be good friends with Alison Flierl, the school resident CoolLoser, much to the chagrin of the popular clique like Maddy Ginsburg. Seeing the chances of raising in status fly by, Penny distanced herself from Alison, preferring to hang with Maddy, even neglecting any time spent together with Alison. Post-TimeSkip, Penny denies ever being friends with Alison to Maddy as they head to the prom. As they never speak directly neither before or during the prom, it's dubious if they remained in touch, but it's clear they're not as close as they used to be.
* GenderEqualsBreed: She is a deer just like her mother.
* TheGenerationGap: {{Deconstructed|Trope}} in her relationship with Charlotte, her mother. Charlotte, being older and wiser, knows exactly what's going through her daughter's life and mind, but because of her rather peaceful approach and Penny's impulsiveness and chaotic feelings, she's unable to reach out to her no matter what she does. And Penny's not going to start listening anyway, so any advice is branded as typical "parents don't understand" clueless advice, disregarding any merit the advice has. Being similar, yet in different stages of life also shows in rather terrifying parallels: Charlotte keeps [=BoJack=] at bay during most of the time he's visiting[[labelnote:*]]Given how ''not'' addressing [=BoJack=] at all turned out, this may be debatable but it was like trying to predict a car crash[[/labelnote]] and argues against his impulsive decision of them eloping together despite still (possibly) attracted to him; Penny, due to her inexperience and similar taste, becomes smitten with [=BoJack=] and due to them having the same mindsets with none of the foresight, they propel each other's bad decisions without stopping to think about the consequences. Needless to say, neither of these choices turn out to be wise, colliding in a life-changing incident.
* GenerationXerox: Looks like a younger version of Charlotte with a different fur color. [=BoJack=] ends up noticing the parallels.
* GoToYourRoom: A darker example than the rest. Penny gets yelled by Charlotte to go to her room not because she misbehaved, but because she just caught her daughter and [=BoJack=] in some rather intimate circumstances and wanted Penny in a safe place before letting [=BoJack=] have it.
* HumanMomNonhumanDad: Her mother is like her, a doe, and her father a human.
* HaveIMentionedIAmSexuallyActiveToday: For all her bravado, she acts kinda clumsy and inexperienced when trying to convince Bojack to have sex.
* HeldGaze: She and [=BoJack=] share one, right before things go [[GoneHorriblyWrong horribly wrong.]]
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She mistrusts and drifts apart from [[GoodParents her parents]], while becoming close friends with [[DoomMagnet [=BoJack=]]]. It gets to the point that while hesitating to leave her possibly intoxicated/ alcohol poisoned friend, Penny changes her mind when [=BoJack=] justifies it, seeing him as a trustworthy person. {{Justified|Trope}}, since she's a teenager and in conflict with her emotions and opinions, as well as easily swayed. It doesn't help that [=BoJack=] is [[ObliviouslyEvil not the classic type of monster]].
* TheIngenue: She fits it to a T. She's cheerful, somewhat innocent, idealistic and quite more trusting than an average person ought to be. This only makes it easier for her and [=BoJack=] to get close, bond and almost have sex.
* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: Penny is surprised and delighted when an adult like [=BoJack=] actually pays heed to her problems and afflictions and tries in his own way to help, finding it a nice change of pace from her parents' constant dismissals. Eventually, this leads her to confuse these feelings with love and try to seduce [=BoJack=].
* IntergenerationalFriendship: She develops one with Bojack, an old friend of her mother. It goes bad places.
* InterruptedIntimacy: She tries to have sex with [=BoJack=] but is interrupted by [[ParentsWalkInAtTheWorstTime Charlotte walking onto the scene, horrified.]].
* {{Irony}}: Penny wants to distance herself from her family in order to stand out and become an independent person. Her way of doing so is getting involved with a man who coerces her into making some very irresponsible mistakes.
* JailBait: For [=BoJack=]. Although when he tries to argue this as a reason to not sleep with her, Penny tells her that her age, 17, is of legal consent in New Mexico.
* LovingAShadow:
** Since this is [[InLoveWithLove Penny]] we're talking about, it's clear from her reasons to chase after and stalk Diego Mendoza, that there's no true connection between them other than the whims of an emotionally unbalanced teenager. She has no idea of his character and he's not aware she exists.
** She ends up falling for [=BoJack=] because he treats like an adult, but mistakes that for romance, especially since she knows very little about him.
* MadeOfTemptation: Penny represents a chance for [=BoJack=] to have his cake and eat it after finding out Charlotte is married: she looks just like her mother, Charlotte; she's single and, more than that, trusts and considers him a true friend. It doesn't take a lot for Bojack to reject her (at first), but it's clear it's more out of scruples than not having interest.
* MaintainTheLie: After [=BoJack=] confesses to her that he just wants to stay a bit to figure things out, Penny tells him that lying about the boat show will backfire when the family realizes it doesn't exist. She redirects him to a shop and helps him buy one to keep them from suspecting.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She regrets asking [=BoJack=] to sleep with her, even if he was obviously more at fault as the adult in the situation. Later, she does consider talking to [[spoiler:Paige and Max may make her feel better about it; Charlotte points out that it may go the other way and make her feel worse]].
* NotQuiteTheRightThing: One of her main flaws. For as much as Penny tries to be morally upstanding or as morally upstanding as a teenager can be, her sense of right and wrong is determined by what she can do to help her friends for better or worse, regardless of the morality of ''their'' actions. She just can't turn down helping her so-called friends out of fear of being ostracized and her compass is guided more by "what can hurt us?'' rather than "is this the real good thing to do?". Even when Maddy starts drinking way too much and everyone except her is okay with it, Penny doesn't say anything about it other than a few passive remarks because [=BoJack=] actually approves and she clearly trusts his judgement, even if she starts feeling uncomfortable about it. Even when she collapses, Penny is convinced to go through [=BoJack=]'s plan of leaving her at the entrance of the hospital...as long as there's someone looking out for her like Pete. [[spoiler:She seems to have grown out of this by the time of her appearance in season 3.]]
* OnlySaneWoman: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged.]] On one hand, she calls bullshit on the story [=BoJack=] made up to stay in Tesuque, as well as some of the less rational decisions and actions made during prom night. On the other, she's just as likely to cause some screw-ups ''herself'' such as crashing [=BoJack=]'s car in a panic, and [=BoJack=] has to resort to calling her out as well. Also, being a teenager makes her easily swayed to anyone's opinion.
* OperationJealousy: She and [=BoJack=] plan for him to go as her prom date as a way for her to stick it to Diego for not going with her, as well as not losing out on having a great time.
* PrecociousCrush: As the months pass, she develops feelings for [=BoJack=]. To be fair, they stem out of the fact that he treats her with respect, as an adult, unlike her parents. This eventually turns a lot less precocious when she tries to get [=BoJack=] to sleep with her.
* RebelliousSpirit: She always tries to rebel or go against her parents' advice or wishes, often acting standoffish and plain demanding when things don't go the way she wants them to go. [[LeavingYouToFindMyself It's mostly to affirm her own identity, though.]]
* ReplacementGoldfish: For [=BoJack=] , as Penny is nearly the splitting image of Charlotte, TheOneThatGotAway and for which [=BoJack=] still feels something. Cemented when after having his hopes crushed by Charlotte, he subtly allows Penny to have her way with him.
* SecretKeeper: Briefly becomes this for [=BoJack=], since out of all the Carson family members, she's the only one [=BoJack=] confesses his real motives behind his arrival at New Mexico. Once she helps him keep up the façade out of sympathy, she ascends to even TheConfidant. And, then their mutual immature minds start confusing everything and it all blows to hell.
* SingleGirlSeeksMostPopularGuy: This is her main purpose towards her classmate, [[BigManOnCampus Diego]], with shades of LovingAShadow since it's clear that the connections she often tries to find between them are nothing but simple imagination and the image she has of him is quite exaggerated.
* SmittenTeenageGirl: Her crush on Diego makes little sense, being based on ''nothing'' except a few amiable conversations they've had and skipping altogether how Diego truly feels about her. Penny clearly idealizes the idea of them being together to the point it exceeds anything resembling reality. Her crush on [=BoJack=] also has shades of this. Despite arguing that she really wants this, that she's old enough to make her own decisions and she sees things clear enough for a relationship to work, the reason why she likes [=BoJack=] is because he treats her with the respect she feels her parents don't give her.
* SquaringTheLoveTriangle: Penny's relationship with [=BoJack=] evolves into this as his stay prolongs itself, even if only Penny notices at first and from a wrong perspective nonetheless. The great resemblance she has to her mother Charlotte, his increasingly desperate desire to redeem what he sees as his [[MyGreatestFailure biggest mistake]] and Penny's naivete when it comes to relationships and the nature of people come to a boiling point when Charlotte rejects [=BoJack=] and Penny offers some comfort in the form of sex. The fact that this almost happens between him and Penny is enough to kill any sense of lasting friendship with Charlotte and, after a TimeSkip, [[spoiler:any camaraderie with Penny, once she has had time to reflect on how messed up the whole situation was.]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance: She is physically identical to Charlotte. While dancing with [=BoJack=], he lampshades their strong resemblance.
* TantrumThrowing: When she's rejected by Diego, she throws a hissy fit during a family dinner.
* TheTease: While trying to convince [=BoJack=], Penny shows a more flirty side of herself.
* TextileWorkIsFeminine: Her room, besides having some posters of [[{{Pun}} Llama]] [[Music/LanaDelRey Del Rey]], has some hand-woven blankets covering the wall. Then, there's also her typical dress, with specific patterns of the culture of New Mexico.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: {{Discussed|Trope}}. When Sarah-Lynn reads Penny's twitter account, it states she likes Thai food.
* WalkingSpoiler: Penny's existence reveals a lot about [=BoJack=]'s past relationships and how they have changed.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Allison Flierl, the school's CoolLoser. Judging by the conversation Penny has with Maddy after the TimeSkip, she would prefer if Allison was never mentioned and denies ever having contact with her.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: In "Good Damage", Penny is approached by Paige Sinclair and Maximilian Banks about her history with Bojack. She tells them about Bojack getting Maddy alcohol poisoning, but she doesn't get to say much more before Charlotte kicks them out of the house. Later on, Penny thinks of calling them and telling them the full story, though Charlotte voices concern that it won't be good for Penny's mental health and that people might see the family in a negative light since the story would have also revealed the mistakes they made, too. However, that's the last time we see Penny, and the audience never finds out if went through with calling the reporters, and we never see how she reacts to Bojack's fall from grace or if she got caught up in the story since all his misdeeds were exposed as part of it. Though considering how the public was much more focused on Bojack's MurderByInaction of Sarah Lynn, it's very likely that what happened to Penny was overshadowed by that]].
%%* WideEyedIdealist: She can be woefully naive about how the world (and relationships) work.
* YouRemindMeOfX: [=BoJack=] tells her she looks a lot like her mother, and that's just the tip of the iceberg...
* YouthfulFreckles: She has tiny dots of pigment below her eyes and is just a teenager.

->'''Voiced by:''' Adam Pally
->'''Debut:''' "Escape from L.A."

Charlotte's human son with Kyle and Penny's younger brother.

* DumbassTeenageSon: Along with Penny being the BrattyTeenageDaughter.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: PlayedWith. While he starts as a sort of Foolish Sibling to Penny's Responsible Sibling, the events of the episode "Escape From L.A." focus on Penny and some of her less wise decisions, while less focus on Trip makes him come off as the (relatively) sane sibling.
* GenderEqualsBreed: He's a human, just like his father.
* HumanMomNonhumanDad: His mother is a doe and his father, like him, a human.
* HormoneAddledTeenager: He's known for "[[RagingStiffie popping boners]]" suddenly. His sister frequently mocks him about it.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: While shit hits the fan back at his house, he's sleeping peacefully at some friend's house. Is he going to be glad to have been there when he discovers what happened..
* LovableJock: He is a quarterback for his school, but unlike a stereotypical JerkJock, he's quite a NiceGuy.
* OnlySaneMan: He's the only one who doesn't get involved with the [=BoJack=] situation in "Escape From L.A.", just living his normal life. Seems like he gets the temperament from his mother.
* RagingStiffie: The bane of all teenaged boys everywhere.
* SatelliteCharacter: The least developed of the Carson family, and just a teenage boy living his life away from Bojack's situation. Notably, unlike his family members, he never appears again after "Escape from L.A.".
* ShooOutTheClowns: He goes to a friend's house in the [[DramaBomb final act]] of "Escape From L.A.". Whelp, dodge a bullet there.
* SiblingRivalry: With his sister, Penny, mostly for their parents' attention.
* SiblingYinYang: With Penny. Which one is which is debatable.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: He's a younger, slimmer version of Kyle with freckles and his mother's eyes.
* YouJustHadToSayIt: Right after Penny's DeadpanSnarker moment above:
-->''' Trip''': Now I will get a hard-on because you made me think about it. Thanks a lot.
* YouthfulFreckles: Has them on his face which serve to represent his energetic and lovable nature.
