6	[[caption-width-right:350:From left to right [[{{JerkWithAHeartOfGold}} Joe]], [[TheStoic Jack]], [[BookSmart William]], and [[DumbIsGood Averell]].]]
7	* AdaptationalIntelligence: Every member of the quartet does show bouts of intelligence here and there compared to what we saw before in the comics:
8	** Joe comes up with wackier and zanier shemes than before, although they vary from being straightforward to reaching ComplexityAddiction territory;
9	** Jack, as the series progresses, becomes a lot more mature and aware of Joe's plans and he will eventually try to call out the most minimal flaw;
10	** William regains his original status of "family intellectual", which he has lost over the years;
11	** Averell, despite still being the dumbest of the four, shows off a wide variety of talents he is naturally inclined, like being an excellent artist for example.
12	* AffablyEvil: They're bandits, sure, and they have no scruples about robbing the innocent, tricking and using whoever's gullible enough to take their word at something, or threaten with violence if they don't get their way... but they're generally fairly laid-back and easy enough to get along with when not out robbing. The exception is Joe, who can be FauxAffablyEvil but is more often just a {{Jerkass}}.
13	* AssholeVictim: Considering how abrasive, violent and haughty they can get, it's not hard to see why other prisoners or the Indians treat them the way they do. Joe, being the biggest asshole, gets it the worst.
14	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: The Daltons fight and bicker constantly, and especially Joe is constantly smacking around and yelling at Averell. But they always stick together, and if any of the brothers is threatened by an outside force, the other three will back him up.
15	* ColorCodedCharacters: Well, usually they all wear the same black and yellow prison uniforms, but on the rare occasions where they're seen in their civilian outfits, they wear differently colored shirts. In the original comics they all wore identical green shirts, but here Joe wears red, Jack wears blue and William wears yellow, leaving Averell with the green.
16	* TheDreaded: They are this, but only to civilians outside of the prison. Miss Betty, the Guards, the Indians or Peabody, don't feel the same.
17	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: All of them deeply love their mother and fondly recall their youth with her. Except for Joe, who seems to fear her more than anything else.
18	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: As Jack puts it to Joe: "Family is sacred".
19	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Robbing, brutalizing, manipulating, or simply being jerkasses to people? No problems. Abandoning a baby in the middle of the desert? Hell no!
20	* FourManBand: While there's no CasanovaWannabe (since William seems to be more of a [[TheCharmer Charmer]]), Joe can strand into [[ComedicSociopathy Comedic Sociopath]] territory, as he sometimes beats up his brothers when they tic him off. The rest of the group stays the same, with Averell being the [[TheDitz ditzy]] ButtMonkey who gets snarked at the most, William being TheSmartGuy thanks to his knowledge, and Jack being the closest to an OnlySaneMan.
21	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: They incarnate this trope perfectly:
22	** Joe - Choleric, a oversensitive, short-tempered and conceited leader that comes off as a strong-willed overreacher;
23	** Jack - Melancholic, the hardest worker of the Daltons, very loyal to Joe, but also introverted and quiet most of the time;
24	** William - Phlegmatic, the one who tries to break up fights, open-minded and rational, but slightly lazier than the others;
25	** Averell - Sanguine, the nicest, easy-going with everyone, quirky and eccentric but gullible and overly talkative according to Joe.
26	* PetTheDog: They're villains and proud of it, but EvenEvilHasStandards. On a rare occasion they'll do something decent. Averell is particularly prone to this, but even Joe can on occasion show a small bit of decency.
27	* RedOniBlueOni: Both [[HairTriggerTemper Joe]] and [[{{Keet}} Averell]] tend to act impulsively and are far more emotional in their ways compared to Jack and William, who are quieter, shyer and more rational, making them the Blue to the former's Red Oni. On his own, Joe is the Red Oni to Averell's Blue, due to a more kind-hearted, empathic and sensitive temperament from the latter.

31	!!!Joe
32	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daltonjoe.PNG]]
33	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristopheLemoine (FR); Paolo Marchese (ITA)
34	The shortest, oldest, angriest and most malicious of the brothers, Joe Dalton is the leader and self-appointed brains of the gang, who masterminds their prison breaks and various schemes.
35	----
36	* BerserkButton: His biggest BerserkButton, Lucky Luke, doesn't really appear in this series -- though on the rare cases when Luke is mentioned and makes a roundabout cameo, it's enough to send Joe into a rage. In one episode, when Joe was suffering from depression and had lost all interest in trying to escape, the mere ''prospect'' of Luke stopping by for a visit was enough to have him screaming and ranting and deciding to double down on the escape attempts. And even without Luke, there are still a lot of things that can set Joe off. Averell talking, for one thing.
37	* BitchInSheepsClothing: When he wants something out of someone who isn't one of his brothers, he can get quite friendly, but it's all an act.
38	* BookDumb: Zig-zagged. It's not often clear whether he's illiterate or not. In "Gifted Daltons", he turns out to be terrible at academics, in another episode Joe had an hard time reading a letter. However in "Last Will", Joe attempts to find an idea to escape by reading "The Count of Montecristo". What's sure though, is that he has a brilliant imagination when it comes to escape plans.
39	* ButtMonkey: The most frequent victim of slapstick in the series, and the one who most consistently ends the episode on an unhappy note. [[AssholeVictim And he deserves every bit of it too.]]
40	* ComplexityAddiction: Some of his plans are unjustly complicated.
41	* DartboardOfHate: He owns one with Lucky Luke's face on it.
42	* {{Determinator}}: In one episode, it's revealed that the Daltons have made ''347'' escape attempts while at the Nevada penitentiary -- and that's only in the first season. If we consider that Joe is the driving force behind every single escape attempt, he definitely qualifies as TheDeterminator, as he ''never'' gives up on getting out of the prison. His brothers can sometimes get resigned, but Joe is always here to remind them.
43	* FauxAffablyEvil: He can be quite pleasant and charming whenever he wants something, but it's really all an act which he'll let drop the moment he's reached his goals.
44	* HairTriggerTemper: Not ''as'' prevalent here as in his comics counterpart, probably because Lucky Luke isn't in the series to push his biggest BerserkButton... but he's still got a nasty temper and is extremely easy to rile up.
45	* {{Jerkass}}: With his fellows prisoners ''and'' his brothers.
46	-->'''Averell''': But Joe, if we anger the buddies, wouldn't we be not buddies anymore?\
47	'''Joe''': Justly Averell, this way we won't miss them once we've escaped.
48	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: For all of his jerkassery, he still does show to care for his brothers (especially Averell, for better [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk or worse.]])
49	* TheLeader: The shortest and (at least according to him) most intelligent of the brothers, typically he serves as their leader.
50	* ManipulativeBastard: Though not an true master at this, Joe knows how to pull people's strings to get what he wants. Best exemplified with Peabody, exploiting (multiple times) his greed or desire for fame to advance his agenda.
51	* ShorterMeansSmarter: Played with. Joe is the shortest Dalton, and is convinced he's the smartest one... but while he's certainly smarter than BigLittleBrother Averell, he's not necessarily smarter than Jack or William -- he's just more driven and more ruthless. This certainly reflects the words of his original co-creator René Goscinny, who claimed that Joe was simply the most ''malicious'' Dalton, and evil doesn't equal intelligence.
52	* TheNapoleon: While the shortest in the gang, he is the most temper-prone in and out of his AssholeVictim element he more often than not shares with the gang.
53	* NeverGoingBackToPrison: He would rather die in the desert than go back in prison.
54	* SmallNameBigEgo: At least compared to the other Daltons, as he claims to be the smartest and the craftiest of all of them.
55	* SmugSnake: It goes hand-in-hand with SmallNameBigEgo, as his saturared ego and stubborness become two of his biggest banes and two of the reasons why the Daltons plans backfire as a whole.
56	* TooDumbToLive: His desire to escape can overwhelm his common sense. He once got ran into a giant fan and got cut up.
57	* TheUnfavourite: An aspect of him which was only suggested in previous works, is here expanded upon: the fact that Joe is the one of his brothers that receives the least love from Ma', [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation which could actually explain some aspects of his personality]].
58	* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: One of the main characters that is a jerk and literally everything goes wrong in his plans.
59	* WellDoneSonGuy: He ''really'' wants his mother to acknowledge him as the brilliant mastermind he sees himself as... or barring that, at least show him the same encouragement she does to his brothers.
60	* ZanyScheme: Some of his escape attempts take the form of these. Though he ''usually'' prefers a more straightforward approach, some of his plans can get very complicated and convoluted. This is usually a sign that he's getting desperate, or that things have spiraled out of control for him -- especially when the schemes begin relying on InsaneTrollLogic (such as dressing a cow up in prisoner's garbs so the guards will mistake it for a new prisoner).

63	[[folder:Jack]]
64	!!!Jack
65	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daltonjack.PNG]]
66	->'''Voiced by:''' Bruno Flender (FR); Enrico Di Troia (ITA)
67	One of the middle brothers, who mostly acts as a buffer between Joe and Averell, calming down the former and shutting up the latter. Jack, despite being one of the least characterized brothers, he is often presented as Joe's main sidekick as well as the biggest objector of his plans.
68	----
69	* AscendedExtra: Downplayed, while in the Lucky Luke movies he, along with William functioned only as an extra, here he has more depth in terms of personality and screentime, although not by much, considering he's still OutOfFocus.
70	* AdaptationNameChange: ''Kind'' of. In the original comics, the second shortest brother is ''usually'' called William, but on several occasions (including the second half of the Daltons' introduction story), is mistakenly referred to as "Jack." In this show he's consistently named Jack.
71	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first few episode, he was almost as accident-prone and clumsy as Averell and there were moments in which he displayed high emotion (like when his foot was hit by a rock). Later on he became much stealthier compared to his brothers, like when he caught Peabody off-guard with a copper pan, quieter and more level-headed.
72	* TheConsigliere: In many episodes he manages to highlight flaws in Joe's plans. This leads to Joe changing his mind or, occasionally, the latter, Jack or William coming up with a better solution.
73	* ADayInTheLimelight: "Dots and Stripes" and "Les Dalton font la roue", although the latter is not available in english.
74	* DeadpanSnarker: Occasionally. It doesn't happen too often, but if one of the Daltons makes a sarcastic remark it's most often Jack.
75	--> '''Joe:''' "He's not evacuating the prison, I can't believe it!"\
76	'''Jack:''' "Your plan fell through! ''(From the episode "The Daltons afloat!")''
77	* OutOfFocus: Together with his brothers, he appeared in every single episode, however he rarely gets the main spotlight, as there have been roughly 2 episodes focused on him.
78	* TheEngineer: Jack has served this role a bunch of times in the show, including disassembling a Big Wheel, helping constructing a high-tech car or simply getting involved a lot in the Daltons plans by digging tunnels and doing the hardest work.
79	* TheGenericGuy: While William has kind of escaped this role in this show thanks to his status as the "family intellectual," Jack doesn't have a very strong personality and very rarely stands out among his brothers in any way.
80	* TheStoic: If he ''has'' an individual trait, it's that he's the calmest of the Daltons, seldom getting worked up about anything. Well, except...
81	** NotSoStoic: He is very afraid of flying and just being a few inches off the ground is enough to make him queasy.
82	* TheQuietOne: Most of the time he is seen in, he doesn't say a word and he almost never interacts with anyone else but his Brothers.
83	* ThoseTwoGuys: With William.

86	[[folder:William]]
87	!!!William
88	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daltonjwilliam_4.PNG]]
89	->'''Voiced by:''' Julien Cafaro (FR); Antonio Palumbo (ITA)
90	The second one of the middle brothers who acts as a buffer between Joe and Averell. William has got a keen interest in reading and has taken up the role as the "family intellectual."
91	----
92	* AscendedExtra: Downplayed, while in the Lucky Luke movies he, along with Jack, functioned only as an extra, here he has more depth in terms of personality and screentime, although not by much, considering he is still OutOfFocus.
93	* AdaptationalIntelligence: William regains his original status as the intellectual member of the group, which he had lost over the years.
94	* AdaptationNameChange: The same deal as Jack here. In the original comics, he's usually Jack, but is sometimes mistakenly referred to as William. Here, he's William full time.
95	* BookSmart: While he doesn't really have any more common sense than his brothers, he does have a lot more general knowledge -- unlike them, he does come across as having a basic education.
96	* TheCharmer: Implied, He seems to be this to Miss Betty in a few episodes, with "Highly Gifted Daltons" being a perfect example, due to them sharing a common interest about learning and literatire and interacting nicely more than once.
97	* ADayInTheLimelight: "Joe Playboy", "Highly Gifted Daltons" and "It's Giant!"
98	* DependingOnTheWriter: He is either portrayed as the smartest of the brothers, coming up with better ideas than Joe's, or as the clumsy one when Averell is not around.
99	* MrExposition: If some basic historical, scientific or geographical fact needs to be explained, William is generally there to explain it.
100	* OutOfFocus: Similar to Jack, he appeared in every single episode, however he rarely gets the main spotlight, as there have been roughly 3/4 episodes focused on him.
101	* TheSmartGuy: While Joe is the one with all the plans and Jack is the one with the most common sense, William is the one with all the ''knowledge.''
102	* ThoseTwoGuys: With Jack.
103	* WickedCultured: Not by modern standards, perhaps, but in a time and place where very few people read, he certainly comes across as one. Of the four brothers, he's the one with a keen interest in reading, and as a result he'll sometimes play MrExposition to the others on certain topics like literature and basic physics.

106	[[folder:Averell]]
107	!!!Averell
108	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daltonjaverell.PNG]]
109	->'''Voiced by:''' Bernard Alane (FR); Andrea Lavagnino (ITA)
110	The tallest, youngest and stupidest of the Daltons.
111	----
112	* AdaptationalBadass: While Averell is still the brainless screw-up who keeps annoying Joe with his inane comments and penchant for ComicallyMissingThePoint, this series paints him more as a GeniusDitz with a multitude of talents. He's a phenomenal artist (painting, sculpture, gardening, you name it), a brilliant cook, and a great athlete. Too bad his lack of common sense tends to stop him from actually utilizing those talents in any meaningful way.
113	* BigEater: Even more so than in previous adaptations.
114	* TheBigGuy: To the rest of the Daltons.
115	* BigLittleBrother: The youngest, but the tallest of the Daltons.
116	* ButtMonkey: Downplayed, Probably thanks to his well-meaning nature, he isn't as unlucky as Joe, but he is also the one who undergoes the most pain after his eldest brother.
117	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While he is obviously the least intelligent of the brothers, he can occasionally display unexpected bouts of competence, or completely random (and useful) knowledge.
118	* DumbIsGood: He is the least intelligent of his brother, but he is as well as the kindest, the most innocent and the most easy-going.
119	* FriendToAllLivingThings: Which can also explain why the animals love him.
120	* GeniusDitz: Still the least intelligent of the brothers and incredibly low on common sense, but as several episodes show he's a man of many talents. (See RenaissanceMan below).
121	* GreenEyedMonster: Averell is prone to fits of jealousy if one of his brothers -- particularly Joe -- makes a new friend or otherwise gives any sort of affection to an outsider.
122	* {{Hypocrite}}: In "Gigi the Giraffe", Averell resents the titular giraffe for stealing Joe's affection away from him. While it's quite understandable given that Joe shows more love towards Gigi than he has ever shown towards his brothers, one has to recall all the times Averell has bonded with an animal and neglected Joe the same way.
123	* {{Keet}}: Downplayed, while he is not hyperactive, he is still a lot more enthusiastic and cheerful compared to his Brothers.
124	* TheKlutz: Due to his occasional clumsiness when/while helping the Daltons escape, Averell is prone to be more of an SpannerInTheWorks because of this.
125	* ManChild: The youngest of the Daltons, Averell is mostly just a big kid in a nutshell.
126	* MommasBoy: All the Daltons love their Ma, but Averell, who is the "baby" of the family, has a special bond with her.
127	* RenaissanceMan: Averell has shown to be the most skilled of the Daltons outside of crime: artist (painter, sculptor, interior decorator, puppeteer, origami crafter), cook (baker, pastry chef, french fryer...), gardener, karate master and many other skills.
128	* TooDumbToLive: More often than not.. Special mention goes to the time he and his brothers were about to be pardoned, only for him to ruin it by stealing the president's briefcase.
129	* UseYourHead: His brothers like to use him as a battering ram.

132	[[folder:Ma Dalton]]
133	!!!Ma Dalton
134	[[quoteright:331:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_daltons_mother_1.png]]
135	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BarbaraTissier (FR)
136	The single mother of the Daltons.
137	----
138	* AdaptationalVillainy: Still the strict-but-loving mother to her boys, but she's less affable and more directly villainous here than in the comics and [[WesternAnimation/LuckyLuke1983 previous]] [[WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfLuckyLuke adaptations]]. Whenever she appears in an episode, it's to try and break her boys out of prison, and she'll happily resort to fraud, kidnapping, and threats of violence against innocents in order to reach her goals.
139	* TheDreaded: To Joe, whom she treats the most harshly out of all her sons. She's probably the only person that Joe actually fears.
140	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Although she may be part of the Dalton family and being a Dalton, in "Momma Knows Best", she's disgusted by her sons cheating as she even tells them that Daltons never cheat.
141	* KarmaHoudini: In most episodes. She usually breaks several laws in her attempts to help her sons escape, but she's never arrested or punished for it... but it's averted in the episode "Mamma Mia," where she ''is'' actually arrested, and at the end of the episode she sends the boys a [[JailBake cake with files]] from her prison.
142	* ParentalFavoritism: She shows Averell a lot more open affection than the other three, probably because he's the baby of the family and she views him as the most "sensitive" of them. Joe, on the other hand, is the UnFavorite who can do nothing right in her eyes -- though it's possible that, like in the comics, she mainly treats him the most harshly because she expects the most of him.
143	* ToughLove: She's a big believer in this. While there's no doubt she loves her sons, that doesn't mean she's going to give them a break -- especially not Joe, whom she's twice as hard on as the others.

146	!!The Penitentiary
147	[[folder:Rintindumb (''aka Rantanplan'')]]
148	!!!Rintindumb
149	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rintindumb_1.png]]
150	->'''Voiced by:''' François Morel (FR); Franco Mannella (ITA)
151	An prison guard dog kept in The Penitentiary who is often tasked with watching over the Daltons.
152	----
153	* AdaptationalHeroism: To an extent, though it's more about attitude than about competence. It's tied to his (very slight) AdaptationalIntelligence, since he actually seems to be somewhat aware that he's supposed to be a guard dog. On several occasions, he's actively attempting to do his job, like trying to catch the Daltons when they escape, or come to the rescue when he thinks someone's life is in danger. Mind you, even these acts of heroism are ''always'' accompanied by one of his trademark misunderstandings (he chases after the escaping Daltons because he thinks they're alien invaders, he tries to save Joe from drowning when Joe isn't actually drowning, he mistakes a prisoner release for an escape attempt...), so he's still mainly an AccidentalHero.
154	* AdaptationalIntelligence: ''Very'' slight. Unlike his comic book counterpart he usually gets at least the general gist of what people are saying to him -- and on occasion, he even seems to realize that he's supposed to be a guard dog. He's still not a ''good'' guard dog, since he's still very much TheDitz who tends to draw the wrong conclusions, but where the Rintindumb of the comics would often stray into TooDumbToLive territory, this version hardly ever does.
155	* BigEater: Not to Averell's extent, and kind of downplayed compared to his comics counterpart, but Rintindumb still has a very healthy appetite and can pack away large amounts of food.
156	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Paradoxically enough, even with his AdaptationalIntelligence he's an even bigger CloudCuckoolander than ever, with some [[InsaneTrollLogic seriously creative leaps of logic]].
157	** When the prison is flooded, his reaction is: "The penitentiary's sinking! We must have hit an iceberg during the night!"
158	** In one episode he keeps mistaking a chihuahua for a mouse... and then when he finds an ''actual'' mouse he's astonished because "that's the smallest dog I've ever seen!"
159	** When Joe tricks him into chasing a rubber ball, and the ball vanishes, he immediately decides that "the rubber ball crossed into a parallel world!" He spends the rest of the episode thinking he's in that parallel world.
160	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: One of his main character traits. There isn't a situation, no matter how straightforward, that Rintindumb can't misunderstand in some way.
161	* DogsAreDumb: No big surprise there, given that his English dub name is Rintin[[TheDitz dumb]] (from his name in French, Rantanplan translating this). Even for growing ''some'' new intelligence and [[MrImagination imagination.]]
162	* DumbassNoMore: In the ''"Inside Rintindumb"'' episode, when the Daltons were shrunk and plugged Rintindumb's plugs into his skull for his neurons to run; he becomes a more competent, devious, graceful, and smarter canine when following Joe's orders. [[StatusQuoIsGod Rintindumb returns back to normal, however.]]
163	* GagNose: Due to him being a typical hound with long snouts and big noses, his cartoony nose would usually squeak pretty loudly like it's a chew-toy whenever he slams himself onto something that'd usually result from his klutziness.
164	* TheKlutz: When his CloudCuckooLander tendencies ensue, this is usually PlayedForLaughs when he can be incredibly clumsy in an rather zany and cartoonish way either with his GagNose or not.
165	* SimpletonVoice: ''Literally'' has one in the American dub and was done in an incredibly silly way.
166	* SpannerInTheWorks: Quite often, the Daltons' escape plan fails, or the episode villain is thwarted, thanks to his misunderstandings and misguided antics. And occasionally they ''succeed'' because of him.

169	[[folder:Melvin Peabody]]
170	!!!Melvin Peabody
171	[[quoteright:213:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/melvin_1.png]]
172	->'''Voiced by:''' Stéphane Ronchewski (FR); Oliviero Dinelli (ITA)
173	A former penitentiary warden who is now the Nevada Penitentiary Warden.
174	----
175	* AbsurdPhobia: He's horrified beyond reason by... french fries. He refuse to serve them in the prison because of this. That is because when he was a baby, his mother used to put them in his bottle since he loved them, but when his father did it, he had cut them too big thus inadvertently choking the baby before his mother saved him.
176	* TheAce: Effortlessly good at stopping the Daltons whether he does this because of him interfering with their plans or his reliable guards/etc taking them back to prison.
177	* ButtMonkey: ''At times.''
178	* {{Catchphrase}}: ''"The Daltons are escaping! Stop them!!"''
179	* ChivalrousPervert[=/=]CovertPervert: As seen in ''"The Director's Girlfriend"'' episode, Peabody can be quite the ludicrous one. However, the fact that he never gets this... insistent towards Miss Betty or any other beautiful woman, respecting them and treating them as colleagues and/ or equals (in opposition to the Daltons or Pete and Emmett who have [[ThePeepingTom peeping tom]] tendencies), proves that he is both of these tropes.
180	* ClockKing: In "Model Inmate". Joe ends up exploiting it.
181	* {{Determinator}}: Never stops at stopping the Daltons from escaping the prison, especially by his repeated phrase being used whenever he spots the Daltons escaping in any way.
182	* {{Greed}}: From time to time his love of money makes him do real stupid mistakes.
183	* JerkassBall: While mostly a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, he will have moments where he gets haughty, unreasonable, or inconsiderate -- usually, it's when he's trying to assert his authority, or when his {{Greed}} gets the better of him.
184	* LanternJawOfJustice: Has an cartoony, big chin and is [[TheHero pretty heroic]] when it comes to stopping the Daltons.
185	* NiceGuy: Usually a pleasant man to talk to (whenever its a important time at the very least), and can be ''too'' nice to others and such to The Dalton's delight at times.
186	* NotSoAboveItAll: When he is usually the OnlySaneMan to Betty and everyone, he can be prone to be just as immature as everyone else whenever a problem ensues in ''some'' instances.
187	* OnlySaneMan: When Miss Betty doesn't figure out that the Daltons are playing her, Peabody serves as this.
188	* VerbalTic: Downplayed, although occasionally, he tends to add the suffix "-ism" at the end of many words. Lampshaded by Pete in "French Fries".
189	--> '''Pete:''' "Honestism and Sinceritism, like you always say!"\

193	!!!Miss Betty
194	[[quoteright:322:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/betty_6.png]]
195	->'''Voiced by:''' Edwige Lemoine (FR)
196	The distracted and positive red-haired woman who is the prison educator and as such, she always tries to educate and entertain the inmates with activities that she defines as ludo-educational. In practice, she is the well-meaning teacher of history, if she tries in every way to make Joe socialize with the other prisoners but, needless to say, she is not successful.
197	----
198	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Invoked and quoted in one episode, where the Daltons try to make an ally out of her and romancing her, though it doesn't really work when Joe comes onto her. Nevertheless, there's the occasional hint that she finds male outlaws... a little more fascinating that what might be entirely proper. Definitely a case of EveryoneHasStandards, though, as she was ''not'' impressed with General Santa Anna's attempts at wooing her.
199	* BadassAdorable: She's very cute and sweet-natured, but ''definitely'' should not be underestimated; this woman can take care of herself.
200	* DudeMagnet: She gets a lot of attention from the males of the series.
201	* FieryRedhead: Downplayed. She's usually very cheery and hard to anger, but you can only push her so far before she's had ''enough.''
202	* HiddenDepths: She might seem prim, proper, and extremely easy to fool because she wants to see the good in everyone... but several episodes show that she has a bit of a wild side, and that if she just embraced that wild side she'd be an ''amazing'' outlaw. She's certainly better than average at sneaking around and committing criminal acts. In one episode she along with the Daltons is de-aged to a teenager. She immediately decides that they're ''much'' more fun and exciting than the boring old law-abiders, joins their gang, and while they do tease her a little for her "girly" idea of robbing the rich and giving to the poor, she's an enthusiastic member of the gang who holds her own in the shenanigans that follow.
203	* HotLibrarian: The prison librarian, and without doubt the best-looking of the regular characters.
204	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: She's usually very properly dressed, but there are the odd occasions when she dresses a little more skimpily, like the two-piece bathing suit she puts on when the penitentiary gets flooded. She doesn't even seem to notice the ''very'' positive reaction this gets from the prisoners.
205	* NiceGirl: Wild streak aside, she's a very sweet-natured and sympathetic person who genuinely wants good things for people. Push her too far, though, and it can turn into a BewareTheNiceOnes situation.
206	* WhiteSheep: Her parents and [[EvilTwin twin sister]] are notorious criminals. She's is the only law-abiding member of the family, and doesn't keep in touch with the rest.
207	* WomanChild: Pretty much everything she does, she approaches with a childlike enthusiasm seldom seen in other characters other than Averell.
208	* OnlySaneWoman: ''At times,'' this usually happens when Peabody falls victim into being immature like the ''"Marshmellow Trap"'' episode for example.

216	'''Emmett voiced by:''' Michel Dodane (FR); Mino Caprio (ITA)
217	Melvin's prison guards, who mainly just stand around and comment on everything that's going on, occasionally making bets on the outcome.
218	----
219	* BatmanGambit: "''What a Ball''"has Peabody buy new high-tech prison balls that prevent the Daltons from escaping. Unhappy with this new arrangement taking their jobs, Pete and Emmett trick their boss into showing them the workings of the system, obtain its code (wriiten on the back of Peabody's right hand), and discretely bust the Daltons out themselves by shutting it down long enough for them to escape. Melvin is not only forced to turn to them for help, but [[KarmaHoudini he never finds out they were the ones pulling the strings behind the brothers' escape]].
220	* FatAndSkinny: Pete is the fat to Emmett's skinny.
221	* ThoseTwoGuys: They seldom get involved in the plots, usually just standing on the sidelines and playing GreekChorus.
222	* OneSteveLimit: Averted. "Emmett" was also the name of one of the original Dalton brothers, though this isn't really commented upon. Emmett the guard has nothing in common with Emmett Dalton other than the name, anyway.

229	The penitentiary launderer.
230	----
231	* ADayInTheLimelight: Usually a minor character, but he gets the occasional episode where he gets more focus and attention, like ''Mamma Mia'' where Ma Dalton kidnaps his mother.
232	* ChineseLaunderer: Like his counterpart from the comics and the ''Ballad of the Daltons'' movie. The difference is that here he's the prison launderer.
233	* YouDontLookLikeYou: Whereas the Daltons and Rintindumb in this show mostly look like their classic counterparts with only minor design tweaks to them, Ming Lee Foo looks almost nothing like he did in the comics.

240	->'''Voiced by:''' Jérémy Prévost (FR); Luca Dal Fabbro (ITA)
241	The medicine man from the Broken Wings tribe, who often comes to the penitentiary to act as a guest lecturer, mainly on Native American customs and culture.
242	----
243	* ExpressiveMask: His mask covers most of his body and changes expression almost as much as a real face would.
244	* MagicalNativeAmerican: He's a powerful sorcerer who specializes in potions and rain dances... though he's not always so good at controlling the outcome.
245	* SnakeOilSalesman: A variation. While his magical cures and concoctions ''do'' work, they often don't work quite as advertised or have side effects he "forgot" to mention. He also isn't above cheating a little in order to make a sale.

252	The chief of the Broken Wings tribe. Generally on good terms with the people at the penitentiary, but can get suspicious and quarrelsome if he encounters some escaped prisoners.
253	----
254	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's grouchy, temperamental, a bit of a lech, and sometimes a little too eager to take vengeance for real or imagined slights... but he seems to be a ReasonableAuthorityFigure to his tribe and will generally apologize and try to make amends if he realizes he's in the wrong.
255	* PintsizedPowerhouse: He's barely taller than Joe, but he's ''not'' to be underestimated in a fight.
256	* TheStoic: Parodied. He ''appears'' to be stoic and unshakeable, and always speaks in a calm voice, but he's actually [[NotSoStoic quite touchy and impulsive]].
