| 13 | * AlliterativeName: '''R'''emy '''R'''emington. |
| 14 | * BerserkButton: |
| 15 | ** Don't try to make another best friend; he'll secretly be jealous of you. |
| 16 | ** Don't call dressage "stupid" around him. |
| 17 | %%* BlackAndNerdy |
| 18 | * CallingTheOldManOut: Remy calls out his parents in "Remy Rescue" for not letting him make his own decisions and trying to keep him from hanging out with Cricket and Tilly. Fortunately, his parents see the error of their ways and let the two be friends again. |
| 19 | * CityMouse: While most of the series focuses on a family of [[CountryMouse Country Mice]], the latter half of the third season has the Greens moving back to the country. However, Remy, has decided to join them. This means that Remy must now navigate through being in the country. |
| 20 | * CrazyJealousGuy: Downplayed and shown briefly in "Phoenix Rises", when he internally freaks out when Cricket calls Phoenix his best friend. |
| 21 | * ADayInTheLimelight: The episodes "Remy Rescue", "DIY Guys", "Dinner Party", "Time Crisis", "Farmer Remy", and "Study Abroad" are dedicated to and primarily center around him. |
| 22 | * DemotedToExtra: Downplayed. He's still a main character, but he was originally planned to be the {{Deuteragonist}} of the series before his role was usurped by Tilly. ZigZagged, however, as he was given even more roles to the point that by Season 3B he was made part of the main cast (see PromotionToOpeningTitles below). |
| 23 | * DropInCharacter: He comes to the Green house multiple times, since his and Cricket's first meeting, and seems to be the only companion of the Greens who visits them on a standard basis. Becomes more evident since "Remy Rescue" when he admits to his parents he wants to get out of the house more. |
| 24 | * {{Expy}}: He strongly resembles Irwin from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''. |
| 25 | * ExtremeDoormat: As seen in "Remy Rescue", he is too chicken to stand up to his parents, even meekly asking if he can't go to boarding school. That is until his CallingTheOldManOut moment above. |

| 27 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Cricket. |
| 28 | * HiddenDepths: Aside from the violin, he is also skilled at ballroom dance and solving puzzles. He can also sing in a choir as well as rapping and karaoke. |
| 29 | * InterclassFriendship: He's Cricket's closest friend despite their vastly different social classes (Cricket being an ordinary farm boy and Remy coming from rich elites). |
| 30 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: In "Chipocalypse Now", he has no idea who Chip Whistler is, due to never encountering him before. |
| 31 | * LonelyRichKid: He's the only child in a family of highly wealthy parents. It doesn't stop him from hanging out with Tilly and Cricket. |

| 34 | * OffToBoardingSchool: Almost happened to him in "Remy Rescue". |
| 35 | * PromotionToOpeningTitles: While he is present in the different title sequences, Season 3B has him listed with Nancy as part of the main cast. |

| 37 | * ShelteredAristocrat: Due to his sheltered upbringing, Remy has very little experience in the outside world. |
| 38 | * ShipperOnDeck: Supports Cricket and Gabriella and struggles to encourage him to confess his love, but it all comically backfires. [[spoiler:He is successful in the end when they reveal their love for each other and begin dating.]] |
| 39 | * ShooOutTheClowns: |
| 40 | ** Remy disappears for the rest of "Critterball Crisis" along with Tilly after getting pounded by Gloria to build up to Gloria getting fired and how important she sees it, leading to Cricket's apology and getting a job with her. |
| 41 | ** He is completely absent for the remainder of "Chipocalypse Now" after pretending to be a lost kid in need of his daddy to distract Chip's goons so Cricket can escape, to build up for [[MurderIsTheBestSolution what Chip]] [[WouldHurtAChild does next.]] |
| 42 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Remy's light brown skin tone comes from his mother, while his wide cheekbones come from his father. His purple hair color is also his mom's pink hair and his dad's blue hair mixed together. |
| 43 | * UndyingLoyalty: He remains so close to Cricket to the point where he never betrays him once. |
| 44 | * VocalEvolution: Remy's voice is slightly deeper in the early episodes than how he sounds currently. |
| 45 | * WellDoneSonGuy: Remy's father is a famous football star while Remy is a creative, unatheletic kid who's also an expert gamer. "Football Camp" reveals that Remy has always felt self-conscious about that difference between them - since he knew Russell was hoping his son would follow in his footsteps - and the whole plot of that adventure revolves around Remy trying to gain his dad's pride and approval, before both of them agree that Remy is just fine the way he is at the episode's end. |
| 46 | * WorthIt: He has horrible dog allergies, but he seemed fine suffering through them if it meant getting to pet dogs in "Tilly's Goat". |

| 94 | * AllAsiansKnowMartialArts: She is Asian, and is well-versed in Tae Kwon Do. |
| 95 | * AscendedExtra: Before "Critterball Crisis", she only made minor appearances (usually suffering the consequences of Cricket's antics). After that episode, she received much more focus and has become second only to Remy in being one of the most frequently seen secondary characters. |
| 96 | * BadassNormal: Like many of the main characters of the show. She's very strong and is very skilled in Tae-Kwon Do; she can even tackle stronger people than her. |
| 97 | * BerserkButton: |

| 100 | * ButtMonkey: Life seems determined to make Gloria miserable. |
| 101 | * CharacterDevelopment: She becomes calmer, nicer, and friendlier towards Cricket as the series progresses. Throughout the show, Gloria opens herself up to the Greens family and slowly becomes a sisterly figure to Cricket and Tilly. [[spoiler:She even becomes more appreciative towards them. They try to cheer her up after she loses her job after "Chipocalypse Now" and motivate her to ask Kevin out in "Big Resolution". In addition, she becomes more playful as shown in "The Room" where she and Alice used both Cricket and Tilly as competitors for their own room after the TV cable went out. After losing her job, she eventually gets her own cafe with help from Alice and sees the Greens as a second family to her.]] |
| 102 | * CoolBigSis: Show shades of these for Cricket and Tilly. |
| 103 | * CopeByCreating: "Paint Misbehavin'" reveals that Gloria copes with her sadness and extreme stress by painting and is happy to explain how she felt when she painted each work as well as what she was coping with at the time. Unfortunately, she's a Butt Monkey and nobody sees any beauty in her paintings until Cricket adds crude drawings of common objects to the canvases. The very fact that her paintings got no attention without the help of a small annoying child does not escape her notice. |

| 105 | * CrankyNeighbor: Nearly all of her interactions with the Greens (especially Cricket) consist of her complaining about their behavior, though she becomes calmer towards them as the series progresses. |

| 109 | ** Throughout the show, she grows more fond of the Greens and upon moving in with them, she practically becomes part of the family. |

Alice even buys the empty space that used to be Big Coffee, so that Gloria can have her own cafe.]] |

| 119 | * NewJobAsThePlotDemands: From "Chipocalypse Now" until "Gloria's Cafe", Gloria was left jobless and had to work in different jobs. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because she wants to maintain herself and wants to go Paris one day. |

| 122 | * NotSoAboveItAll: While she reprimands Cricket for causing trouble for her cafe, she was more than willing to further escalate their conflict in "Critterball Crisis" when he accidentally destroys her miniature Eiffel Tower replica. She even seemed to be getting into critterball when she tried to ward off the kids. |
| 123 | ** In "Paint Misbehavin" she tags along with Cricket to make a mess in the art gallery even commenting that she has the most fun that night. |

| 130 | -->'''Gloria:''' Sorry, Chip! I'm no city girl, '''I'M FROM THE SUBURBS!''' |
| 131 | * PromotionToOpeningTitles: Though she always appeared in the opening, starting in season 4 (like Vasquez above) she now gets her own portrait that she shares with Alice. |
| 132 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Mundane example. Her skin is light purple and she's well trained in Tae-Kwon Do. She's also a purple belt. |
| 133 | * RedOniBlueOni: The responsible, calm, cynical, down-to-earth blue to Cricket's energetic, mischevious, irresponsible, idealistic red. Even Gloria's skin color is a "cold color" and Cricket's skin color is a "warm color". |
| 134 | * SheCleansUpNicely: In "Paint Misbehavin'", she dresses up to attend Cricket's gallery opening, and doesn't look half bad. |
| 135 | * SitcomArchnemesis: Initially, She hated having to work next to the Green house, as well as having Cricket as a co-worker. Fortunately devolved into VitriolicBestBuds. |
| 136 | * SourOutsideSadInside: On the outside, Gloria is a cynical, bitter, sarcastic, and grouchy girl. On the inside, [[spoiler:she suffers from pretty deep-seated self esteem issues, mostly because she has to work as a barista while the rest of her family is much more accomplished than her.]] |
| 137 | * ThisMeansWar: Willingly pops most of Cricket's critterballs in retaliation for breaking her Eiffel Tower replica. |

They consider themselves failures who work at dead-end jobs, but have a passion for fine-arts, such as painting. The main difference between them is Squidward is in a constant state of bitter misery, and never accepts [=SpongeBob=]'s friendship, Gloria becomes a happier person overtime, and begins to see Cricket as a true friend. |
| 142 | * VitriolicBestBuds: She slowly develops this dynamic with Cricket. While they disagree and argue a lot depending on the situation, they have each others' backs, and work well together when needed. |
| 143 | * VocalEvolution: Her voice becomes deeper and more attentive in later episodes. |
| 144 | * WhenSheSmiles: She doesn't smile that often, but when she does, it's a genuinely heartwarming sight. She evolves out of this [[spoiler:after moving in with the Greens.]] |

| 176 | * AllLovingHero: He never has a bad opinion about anyone, not even guys like Chip Whistler. |
| 177 | * ArtEvolution: In the earliest episodes, his face was more angular. In his latest appearances his face is now more rounded. |
| 178 | * BadassNormal: Like many of the main characters in the show. Officer Keys is strong enough to give fight to tough people. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because he's a police officer. |
| 179 | * BerserkButton: Attacking him is not a good idea, [[TranquilFury you really don't want to see him angry]] as Gramma Alice found it the hard way in "Sellouts". |
| 180 | * BewareOfTheNiceOnes: Officer Keys is a nice guy, who is very weird and commonly a goofball. But don't think just because that's his personality doesn't make it less competent, like "Reckoning Ball", "Heat Beaters" or "Chipocalypse Now" shows us to give an example. And there's his "serious side". |
| 181 | * BigDamnHeroes: |
| 182 | ** In "Reckoning Ball", he comes out of nowhere to protect the Greens when Chip threatens them with a wrecking ball. |
| 183 | ** In "Heat Beaters", he takes Cricket and Remy home before they die from a heatstroke. |

| 186 | * ChangedMyMindKid: [[spoiler: Keys decides to help Nancy to save the Green's house when he sees Chip threatening the Greens in TV]]. |
| 187 | * ButtMonkey: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. He at times is victim of slapstick, but compared to other characters the damage he receives is tame in comparison and less often. |

| 189 | ** In "Park Pandemonium" he crashes againist a crack in the sidewalk while skating. |

| 200 | -->'''Officer Keys''': Oh, thank goodness! Being tough is so exhausting! Can you imagine if I had to be like that all the time?!'''' |
| 201 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Officer Keys is a nice guy, but don't expect he go easy on you if he catches you doing something that is bad. Examples include: |
| 202 | ** Upon learning that was Cricket the one that littered the street in "Green Streets", he forces him to clean the street as a punishment. |
| 203 | ** In "Sellouts", he calls out Alice for harassing everybody in the Farmer's Market, when she kicks him, [[TranquilFury Officer Keys tells her that attacking an officer is a serious crime in a dry tone]] and arrests her. |
| 204 | * EverybodyHasStandards: |
| 205 | ** In "Uncaged", Nancy uses this againist him to escape. She yells that is in the shower, causing Officer Keys to blush, feel uncomfortable and decides to wait outside. |
| 206 | ** In "Green Streets", whenever Cricket rudely interrogates the people to look for the "litterbug", Officer Keys apologizes for Cricket's actions. |
| 207 | ** In "Reckoning Ball", when he sees that Chip about to destroy the house of the Greens with a wrecking ball, that will kill them in the process, he says that murder is illegal and stops him. Yet he fails in arrest him. He and the Green family also close their eyes and have a painful look when the wrecking ball fails and hits Chip instead. |
| 208 | ** [[spoiler: In "Chipocalypse Now", he's among the people who finds unfair that Chip wants to destroy the Greens' House and frees and helps Nancy to look for the mayor to stop Chip]]. |
| 209 | ** In "Sellouts", he calls out Alice for harassing everyone in the Farmer's Market. |
| 210 | * ExtremeOmnivore: Played for laughs in "Green Streets" when he eats a cup of coffe. |
| 211 | * FriendToAllChildren: If his interactions with Cricket and Tilly are something to go by. This also includes the occasional interactions with Benny, Andromeda and Remy. |
| 212 | * HeroAntagonist: Whenever Cricket is doing a mischief, for example: "Green Streets", "Uncaged" or "Wishing Well". [[spoiler: He also becomes temporary on this in "Chipocalypse Now", when Chip tricks him]]. He also becomes one in "Gloria's Café". |
| 213 | * HiddenDepths: As much of a goofball he is, he's surprisingly very clever. In "Gloria's Café", he disguises as a hipster so he could enter to her coffee and learn whats happening. |
| 214 | * IntergenerationalFriendship / OddFriendship: He really enjoys the company of Cricket and Tilly, at the point he openly refer them as his favorite people to police (Being his police partners). He also considers Nancy as a friend despite her rebellious nature. |
| 215 | * {{Keet}}: He's very excitable and easy to impress. |
| 216 | * LanternJawOfJustice: Just look at the picture, he has a prominent square chin [[ArtEvolution (that was more angular in his early appearances)]] and he has police officer, he's a nice guy and despite his flaws, he genuenely wants that Big City be a good place. |
| 217 | * LetsGetDangerous: He has his moments when he turns like this, even in "Nice Mode". |
| 218 | ** Invoked in "Green Streets", as Cricket wanted him to become less lenient with whoever was the "litterbug", when this happens his personality changes from his nice self to a merciless self. |
| 219 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Whenever the Greens are doing something wrong or a crime, (see HeroAntagonist, TheDreaded and {{Determinator}} above) they'll try their best to keep Officer Keys away from learning about it. It usually fails and he discovers about it anyway, leading to him trying to try arrest them. |
| 220 | * {{Manchild}}: He has his moments. |
| 221 | ** In "Green Streets" there's a scene where dogs are licking him and he enjoying it. |
| 222 | ** In "Skunked" it's revelated that Keys named his badge "Mr. Shine-Shine" and is afraid to lose it. |
| 223 | ** In "Wishing Well", he still believes in wishes and his biggest one is to fly and attempts to arrest Cricket for messing with the fountain. |
| 224 | ** In “Cricket’s Tickets” he’s the only adult competing for the extra ticket to the Barnacle Ball. |
| 225 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[ButtMonkey He's very prone to suffer accidents]], [[ThePollyanna but tends to take them very surprisingly well]]. |
| 226 | ** In "Gramma's Driver", Bash and Bella run over him with Alice's car, despite having a broken leg from the incident he took it very well and only said that it wasn't good. |
| 227 | ** In "Sellouts", Gramma's kicks him in his foot, although he didn't reacted to the injury at all, [[BerserkButton he didn't took Alice act very well]]. |
| 228 | * MommasBoy: {{Implied|Trope}} in "Wishing Well", when after he "flies" he says: |
| 229 | -->'''Officer Keys''': I'M DOIN' IT, MA! I'M FLYING!'''' |
| 230 | * MoodSwinger: Another of his traits. He can speak in a serious tone in one moment and in the other, his voice changes to a cheerful tone. |
| 231 | -->'''Officer Keys''': (Serious Voice) Nancy Green, you're under arrest. (Cheerful Voice) Again!'''' |
| 232 | * NiceGuy: He's genuinely nice to everyone in Big City, especially the Greens. |
| 233 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: In "Bleeped", he teaches Cricket and his friends more swears believing that they must know them, so they don't say them, it backfires and he instead taught the children more swears. Bill calls out on that before and after the incident. |
| 234 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Invoked. Cricket wanted him to be more merciless [[GoneHorriblyRight with horrible]] [[HiredToHuntYourself results]]. He reverts back to end of the episode, since he hates being "serious" all the time. |
| 235 | * ThePollyanna: Even when facing bad moments, he never has anything bad to say. |
| 236 | ** In "Wishing Well", when the fountain explodes, he's more happy about the fact he's finally "flying". |
| 237 | ** In "Heat Beaters", he doesn't care that his colleages left him behind to patrol Big City by himself in a heat wave. |
| 238 | -->'''Officer Keys''': Unless, of course, you are required to patrol the streets, while your colleagues all go on a group trip to the beach! Ha-ha! [[LargeHam How unlucky for me!]]'''' |
| 239 | * PoliceAreUseless: Although better than most examples. |
| 240 | ** Zigzagged in "Impopstar", he refuses to help the Greens to find Cricket, because Zillon Brax is more important, he even lampshades the trope, saying that the police could help to find Cricket but Zillon is more important. Then when the family finds Cricket, Keys arrests Amaryllis for kidnapping "Zillon" (Cricket, actually). |
| 241 | ** [[spoiler:Zigzagged again in "Chipocalypse Now", Chip tricks him into arresting Nancy, then he frees her after seeing that the Green's house will be destroyed and takes her to the house of the mayor]]. |
| 242 | ** [[spoiler:Played straight later in the same episode; when Keys sees Cricket about to be killed by Chip's helicopter and later when he tries to get the whole family together, he does nothing, and vanishes for the rest of the episode. Granted, Chip would've gotten in even more trouble for attempting murder, as Keys pointed out in "Reckoning Ball" to begin with]]. |
| 243 | * PurpleIsPowerful: A mundane case. His skin is purple, he's a police officer and when he's determined, he's a fairly competent cop. |
| 244 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Zigzagged. Despite being one of the nicest characters of the series, [[HeroAntagonist depending the episode, Officer Keys can be a threat to the Greens]]. But thankfully he's usually in their side and is always willing to listen or reason with them, despite his flaws. |
| 245 | ** In "Gramma's Driver", he tells Alice that people do stupid things for rewards like stars, after Bash and Bella stole her car. |
| 246 | ** [[spoiler: In "Chipocalypse Now", after realizing that Chip tricked him, he let's Nancy escape from jail and takes her to the Mayor's Home so she can help her family to save their farm and legacy]]. |
| 247 | * SkewedPriorities: |
| 248 | ** In "Uncaged", he spends half of the episode trying to arrest Nancy, but ignores the fact that are wild animals roaming free in the city. |
| 249 | ** In "Wishing Well", he tries to stop Cricket from stealing the money in the fountain, because according to him, Cricket is stealing wishes. |
| 250 | ** In "Impopstar", Cricket was kidnapped by Amaryllis, but he refuses to help the Green family, because Zillon Brax is missing and he's more important, according him. |
| 251 | * SplitPersonality: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. In "Green Streets", when he changes between "nice mode" and "serious mode" changes his personality at 180° and the two "modes" behave like two different personalities, according to Keys, he hates his "serious mode". If those "modes" are really personalities or Keys has something like Multiple Personality Disorder, we'll never know and it was never confirmed. |
| 252 | * TranquilFury: In "Sellouts", when Grandma Alice kicks him for "getting in her way" when attracting customers, when this happens, his voice suddenly dropped to a dry tone while telling her that kicking a police officer is a serious crime, the most jarring thing is that he keeps his happy face while saying that, before changing his voice. |
| 253 | -->'''Officer Keys''': [[TranquilFury (Dry Voice) Attacking a police officer is a serious offense.]] [[BewareOfTheNiceOnes (Serious Voice) You're coming with me!]]'''' |
| 254 | * TooDumbToLive: In "Gramma's Driver", he admits that the only reason he became a police officer is to do stupid things for stars. |

| 316 | The eccentric CEO of Big Tech, a company in Big City that specializes in creating cutting-edge technology to improve people's lives. |
| 317 | ---- |
| 318 | * CloudCuckoolander: She's... eccentric, to put it mildly. |
| 319 | * {{Foil}}: To [[BigBad Chip Whistler]]. Both Gwendolyn and Chip are the heads of major corporations in Big City who also aren't the most mentally-stable people on the show, and tend to cause problems for the Green family her their efforts to promote their business. The difference is that Chip is indisputably [[JerkAss nasty]], [[CorruptCorporateExecutive corrupt]], and makes it his life's goal to ruin the Greens while also working to expand Wholesome Foods, landing him squarely in HateSink territory. On the other hand, Gwendolyn, for all her quirks, is a kindhearted woman at her core who truly wishes to improve the lives of others with her technology and only causes trouble for the Greens due to getting so wrapped up in innovating that she overlooks the potential harm her inventions could cause others, though to be fair, the Greens don't really do themselves any favors due to being HopelessWithTech. |
| 320 | * HonestCorporateExecutive: Unlike Chip Whistler, she has no ulterior motive for her business and seems genuinely determined to use her intellect and company to help people out with new technology. |
| 321 | * LoonWithAHeartOfGold: Though she's got a couple of screws loose, she rarely harbors any ill will to others. Most of the trouble she tends to cause for the Greens via her tech seems more based on how said tech conflicts with their way of life instead of genuine malice on her part. |
| 322 | * TheMadHatter: She freely admits that she's nuts but she doesn't seem too upset about it. |
| 323 | * NiceGirl: Quirkiness aside, Gwendolyn comes off as a rather cheerful and friendly lady without a mean bone in her body. In fact, her first encounter with the Green family involved her generously offering them one of her newly-developed cars in exchange for letting her take their old malfunctioning truck off their hands. |
| 324 | * TheWonka: As one that's head of a tech company, her futuristic products are the main break from the general realism of the show. Alluded to in "Green Mirror" where Cricket steals a [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory golden egg from a room full of geese]] in [=BigTech=] before Gwendolyn takes the Greens to her mental reprogramming, cyberspace invention. |

| 376 | * DistaffCounterpart: She's almost considered enough to be a female version of Cricket, given that she's a troublemaking prankster just like him. She also hates doing chores, shares his blue choice of wardrobe, and her shoes don't match her clothes, similar to his trait of not wearing shoes at all. And given her age, she's not quite used to all that gushy-mushy stuff like him just then. |
| 377 | * {{Expy}}: Her overly sweet NiceGirl nature and outlook are nearly similar to [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Isabella Garcia-Shapiro]], while her "spicy" interior at being a rambunctious troublemaker like Cricket is akin to [[WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}} Ivy Sundew]]. |

| 383 | * JustFriends: |

| 385 | ** Played straight with Remy; after rejecting Cricket in favor of him, she just wanted to dance with him and be friends; she wasn't romantically interested with him at all. |

| 398 | * TrueBlueFemininity: Generally wears light blue. |
| 399 | * VirtuousCharacterCopy: Of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Jessica Lovejoy]]. They both act as love interests to a young, troublemaking lead character, and like to cause mischief alongside them. However, Jessica is even more mischievous than Bart, and is willing to cross lines that even he wouldn't, such as pulling a fire alarm and [[{{Frameup}} pinning it on Bart]]. Gabriella isn't like that, as she is about as moral as Cricket, and they seem to have a genuine bond with each other. |

| 449 | * DemotedToExtra: He only appeared in one episode of Season 3 ("Little Buddy") and was strangely absent in "The Move" and "Long Goodbye". |
| 450 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Gregly's obnoxious behavior and hatred of nice things caused him to turn into this, as most of the children don't want to be friends with him because of it. While Cricket and Remy offered to be friends, he turned them down because they're "not good". He ends up befriending a group of grumpy senior citizens because of how much in common he has with them. |

| 454 | * VocalDissonance: His voice sounds more like a man's rather than a boy's, it's that deep. |

| 495 | * DarkIsNotEvil: More like "Dark Is Not A Jerk". He has an scary appearance and is a jerk, but he's a good person underneath [[spoiler: and even helped the Greens to save their home from Chip Whistler]]. |
| 496 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a jerk and is unfriendly, but he really loves his cat Anoush and eventually warmed up to Tilly. [[spoiler: In "Chipocalypse Now", he was among the people who defended the Greens from Chip Whistler.]] |

| 510 | ---- |
| 511 | * AllThereInTheScript: Alexander's name is not said in the series, only in the credits. |
| 512 | ** It's not until "Spaghetti Theory", in which it's revelated that his name is actually Alexander and is refered as such for the first time in the show. |
| 513 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Their appearances all but state they're a gay couple. |
| 514 | * HiddenDepths: "Spaghetti Theory" reveals Alexander is into cooking. |
| 515 | * MasculineFeminineGayCouple: Downplayed, it's not a large contrast, but Alexander is slightly more CampGay and Terry is StraightGay. |
| 516 | * RedOniBlueOni: Alexander is the loud and motormouthed red oni, while Terry is the quiet and collected blue oni. Alexander even wears an orange shirt while Terry wears a blue hoodie; ironically, Alexander is blue while Terry is purple. |
| 517 | * SilentPartner: Terry is this to Alexander. |
| 518 | * TheStoic: Terry hardly ever speaks and his actions are more on the subtle side. Fortunately, his partner is more than able to make up for him. |
| 519 | * StraightGay: The two live in the same apartment. Terry doesn't show stereotypical traits featured with gay men (granted [[TheStoic he doesn't show many traits at all]]) but Alexander is shown to have a rather effeminate voice. |
| 520 | * SuddenlySpeaking: When sticking up for the Green family in "Chipocalypse Now", Terry speaks for the first time as he is actually seen shouting "We want the Greens to stay!" with the other citygoers. |

| 543 | * MissingMom: His wife is never seen nor mentioned, aside from a brief snarky comment by Cricket in "Feud Fight". According to WordOfGod, his wife is dead. |
| 544 | * OrderedApology: He has Forgiveness Contracts regularly printed out. Downplayed in that it seems they are just proof of forgiveness rather than forced. |
| 545 | * ParentsAsPeople: He tries to see the good in Chip, but when it becomes clear that his behavior is ruining Wholesome Foods' image and costing them profits, as well as continuing a needless one-sided feud, he's not hesitant to fire him. Then he gives Chip a second chance to make amends with the Greens. Unfortunately, what he doesn't know is that Chip used the Greens' forgiveness to become CEO so he can have the power and resources to run them out of Big City. It's only a matter of time before he finds out what his son has done. |
| 546 | * SelfMadeMan: He started out as a humble farmer before founding Wholesome Foods. |
| 547 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: He looks like an older version of Chip. Sadly, this is the only similarity. |

| 595 | * UnsuccessfulPetAdoption: Cricket decided to get Snakey due to his belief at a "no think, just do" campaign, but thanks to such, he finds he cannot take care of him properly. Thus he decides he can't own Snakey anymore but since the pet store went out of business, he cannot be taken back; thus he decides to pass Snakey on to the snake expert Remy. |
