10	!!Carole
11	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MiyuriShimabukuro (JP), Nai Br.XX (Singing), Creator/JeannieTirado (EN), Harumi Nishizawa (MEX)
12	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/caroleandtuesday_carole.png]]
13
14	An outgoing orphaned girl trying to survive in Alba City doing multiple (and short-lived) part-time jobs. She meets with Tuesday when playing keyboards in the streets.
15	----
16	* BerserkButton: Calling her ugly. Even as a kid, she would beat people up for that ([[DisproportionateRetribution in hindsight, she found that kinda reaction over-the-top]]).
17	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Carole is a sweet girl but doesn't take shit from people who try to look down on her, over-spicing the food of a customer at her restaurant who tries to have her "serve" him with obvious lewd intentions and is ready to throw down with a group of guys harassing Tuesday.
18	* EvilChef: How she lost her job as a waitress at "Big Jump Burger": One of the customers made an unreasonable complaint about the coffee's bitterness in a rude way and another was demanding she'd service him ''sexually'' and called her ugly when she refused, so she served them both hamburgers with a giant overdose of some kinda sauce that made them scream with disgust or pain.
19	* DoorstopBaby: She was abandoned by her parents on the steps of a church.
20	* GenericCuteness: She is supposedly rather plain, and is at times even referred to as "ugly", but her character design makes her looks on par with those of Angela, who is a ''model''. Maybe this is why she is hoisted in work overalls ever so often.
21	* LimitedSocialCircle: Carole doesn't seem to have a lot of friends, if ''any'' (outside of Tuesday), which is a bit odd considering her bright and outgoing personality.
22	* MeaningfulName: Her name is "Carole" and she was born on Christmas Day.
23	* MissingMom: [[spoiler:As it turns out, her mother got a DeathByChildbirth while her husband was arrested on a CrimeOfSelfDefense, which is why Carole was a DoorstepBaby so she could survive.]]
24	* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: PlayedForLaughs. Her first appearance shows her being fired from a fast food restaurant after [[EvilChef sabotaging the orders]] of two rude customers. She spends most of her time trying to hold down another job before promptly losing it.
25	* NiceGirl: She is overall nice, inviting and patient, which largely contributed to her bonding with Tuesday.
26	* StarvingArtist: Along with Tuesday, while successful, the girls never seem to catch a break. Even after winning Mars Brightest, Gus declines the contract they're offered and even by the series end when they're nominated for a Grammy, are still living in Carole's landlord's former storage room. The landlord's comments near the end suggest that Carole can afford to move out of the old storage room but just wants to stay a bit longer.
27	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The outgoing and feisty tomboy to Tuesday's sweet and timid girly girl.
28	* TomboyishPonytail: She typically wears her hair in a ponytail, distinguishing her as [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl more tomboyish than Tuesday]].
29	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: While she is often depicted wearing her trademark overalls, she also dresses up in more "girly" attire like short skirts, [[ZettaiRyouiki knee socks]] and shoulder-baring blouses, especially when performing.

32	[[folder:Tuesday Simmons]]
33	!!Tuesday
34	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaIchinose (JP), Celeina Ann (Singing), Creator/BriannaKnickerbocker (EN), Amellalli Guevara (MEX)
35	[[quoteright:235:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/caroleandtuesday_tuesday.png]]
36
37	The daughter of a rich family (her mother is a famous politician) who ran away from home in the hope of becoming a musician in Alba City. Unlike Carole, she's rather timid and clumsy. She plays an acoustic guitar she calls Hummingbird.
38	----
39	* TenMinuteRetirement: Forced into one when her mother has her kidnapped and forced back home in an attempt to stop her from undermining Valarie's political career. Carole and her brother Spencer make a point of breaking Tuesday out within an episode.
40	* AffectionateNickname: Carole takes to calling her "Tue". So does Cybelle.
41	* AmbiguouslyBi: Tuesday is clearly attracted to Kyle and is very upset when she discovers that he has a girlfriend, but she has a plethora of ShipTease moments with Carole as well, referring to feeling alive being with and performing music with the latter and is comforted about Kyle with a CooldownHug from her, crying into her shoulder.
42	* BewareTheNiceOnes: While she is overall very nice, when she and Carole go to meet Ertegun who insults their music without even listening to it, Tuesday quietly burns her letter... ''inside'' Ertegun's house, activating the sprinklers with everyone still inside. Like Carole, she's shocked at what she did.
43	* FishOutOfWater: Has never been to the big city before, and shortly after she arrives, her suitcase with most of her belongings gets stolen. Later when Carole goes off to find another job, she tries to clean up, only to make the place even messier than before. She also knows very little about the music industry, frequently reacting to Gus' mentions of legendary figures with, "Never heard of them".
44	* GenericCuteness: Described as plain-looking, she still makes a striking impression with her slender frame, long hair and fashion sense. Even her YouthfulFreckles can't hide the fact that she would be considered rather dashing in real life.
45	* GirlyRun: Tuesday runs this way when trying to get the Mars Brightest Stage on time in episode 12.
46	* LonelyRichKid: Heavily implied to not have had any meaningful friends or relationships when growing up as a rich girl, to the extent her first song with Carole is even named "The Loneliest Girl".
47	* LoveHurts: She finds herself utterly shocked when [[spoiler:she realizes her crush on Kyle is unrequited since he already has a girlfriend]].
48	* MeaningfulName: Her name is Tuesday, and the series is set on post-colonization Mars. In numerous cultures, the day Tuesday is associated with the planet Mars.
49	* NiceGirl: Tuesday is kindhearted and humble, which has largely contributed to her friendship with Carole.
50	* NotAMorningPerson: Tuesday clearly isn't used to waking up early.
51	* PimpedOutDress: While she does have some casual outfits, cute or elegant frilly [[UsefulNotes/LolitaFashion Lolita-style]] dresses are a big part of her wardrobe. Give her a [[ParasolOfPrettiness nice parasol]] and she wouldn't look out-of-place showing off in Harajuku.
52	* TheRunaway: In the first episode, she runs away from home to Alba City since her family doesn't approve of her dream to become a musician.
53	* StarvingArtist: Along with Carole, while successful, the girls never seem to catch a break. Even after winning Mars Brightest, Gus declines the contract they're offered and even by the series end when they're nominated for a Grammy, are still living in Carole's landlord's former storage room.
54	* ShelteredAristocrat: Unlike the streetwise Carole, she starts off as being very sheltered, both due to her background as the daughter of a rich politician and her [[ShrinkingViolet extreme shyness]] preventing her from getting out much before she decided to run away.
55	* ShrinkingViolet: Unlike Carole, she's timid and doesn't have much self-confidence. She mentions that her shyness eventually became too much for her and she stopped going to school because of it.
56	* TenderTears: Tuesday is easily overwhelmed by stress or despair, which leads to plenty of crying moments.
57	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The sweet and timid girly girl to Carole's feisty and outgoing tomboy.
58	* YouthfulFreckles: Has very faint freckles, and she's naive and is one of the youngest of the cast.

61	[[folder:Angela Carpenter]]
62	!!Angela
63	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SumireUesaka (JP), Alisa (Singing), Creator/RyanBartley (EN), Gaby Servín (MEX)
64	[[quoteright:118:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carole9png.jpg]]
65
66	A successful model who decides to take up singing to add more to her fame.
67	----
68	* AddledAddict: After Dahlia gets hospitalized and she finds out they aren't actually related, [[spoiler:Angela turns to drugs, and rapidly grows unstable. During her Grammy performance, she has ExhaustedEyebags under her eyes as she sings, and everyone in the audience seems to notice something's off about her. Within seconds of finishing her song, she collapses onstage and is quickly wheeled to the hospital.]]
69	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Seems to have a crush on Tao, who remains coolly professional and impassive.
70	* AmbiguouslyBrown: She is dark-skinned (possibly black), but she has no particular ethnicity mentioned in-series.
71	* AttentionWhore: The real reason Angela wants to be a singer is for the popularity, implied to be a means to make up for her tragic childhood. This may be why she tries to flirt with Tao.
72	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Episode 7 heavily hints that Dahlia was physically abusive to her when she was younger. Angela even says being in her old house feels like she is suffocating.
73	* DesignerBabies: [[spoiler:She's not Dahlia's biological daughter, but rather a genetically-made baby. She was the second one designed by Professor Zeeman.]]
74	* {{Deuteragonist}}: Although the anime's title doesn't have her name on it, half of the attention goes to Angela's path running at the same time as Carole and Tuesday's.
75	* EarnYourHappyEnding: Angela was abused by Dahlia as a kid and seems to have largely grown up friendless. In the last episodes, she is put through the emotional ringer: [[spoiler:Dahlia passes away after revealing they're not related, and Angela has to be hospitalized from a drug overdose. It's only after she has lost the will to sing that Angela overcomes her pride, and performs at Carole and Tuesday's illegal concert. By doing this, Angela seemingly makes new friends and gains the love she always wanted.]]
76	* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Each time she enters the stage the focus is on her female fans.
77	* EveryoneHasStandards: She might wish to win Mars' Brightest and claims to hate Carole and Tuesday's music, but is incensed when she finds out someone tried to sabotage Tuesday. So much that she even fires Katy, believing she's responsible, and stands up for Carole and Tuesday when the judges initially refuse to let them perform since they arrived late.
78	* FormerChildStar: She had a very prolific career as a child, but is now in a bit of a rut as she moves into adulthood.
79	* FreudianExcuse: It's heavily implied she's got her own history and issues which makes her difficult personality sympathetic.
80	* FriendlessBackground: Has no friends to speak of, and certainly doesn't seem in a hurry to at least have one around.
81	* HeroOfAnotherStory: Where the main pair of protagonists are fighting their way to the top, Angela is a former child star with a lot of baggage, surrounded by frenemies, working to keep from getting tossed aside by society, and being at the mercy of her mother's whims. She even gets her own impressive victory scenes.
82	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's rude and can be conceited, but she wants to play fair and respects her opponents, preferring to beat them at their best.
83	* MeanBoss: Angela goes through a lot of managers, either by firing them at the drop of a hat or bullying them until them quit. She refuses Dahlia's suggestion that they use AI managers, specifically saying she wants a person to boss around.
84	* NavelWindow: Her casual clothes occasionally show her navel, fitting her role as a popular and attractive model-turned-singer.
85	* NiceCharacterMeanActor: Angela puts on a perky façade for the camera, but she's really jaded and cold.
86	* TheResenter: Admits to having resented Carole and Tuesday in the finale, but has gotten over it by that point.
87	-->'''Angela''': I figured out why I hate your music so much. [[spoiler:It reminds me of the time when I could still enjoy singing.]]
88	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: She clearly dislikes working for the callous Tao (and even after she's warmed up to him she still finds him annoying at times), but because of his success at promoting other artists, she sucks it up and agrees to his demands. Her patience does have limits, though.
89	* UglyGuysHotDaughter: Well, Dahlia used to be better looking, but their daughter Angela looks a lot more lovely.
90	* WorthyOpponent: She comes to see Carole and Tuesday as good rivals by the finals of Mars' Brightest.

94	[[folder:Gus Goldman]]
95	!!Gus
96	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkioOtsuka (JP), Creator/JasonMarnocha (EN), Gerardo Vásquez (MEX)
97	[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carole1png.jpg]]
98
99	A man struggling in the music business who used to manage a couple of musicians. He immediately goes to Carole and Tuesday after watching a viral video of their performance of "Loneliest Girl", making himself their manager in hopes of helping them become big.
100	----
101	* AlasPoorVillain: Downplayed with a rival that Gus doesn't get along with. He is noticeably upset when [[spoiler:Dahlia]] passes away, to the point that he can't even bring himself to attend the funeral, although he does visit their grave later and laments that they won't get to see [[spoiler:Carole and Tuesday's underground concert]].
102	* TheAlcoholic: Not having a new success in years led him to spend most of his days drinking at a bar. Him ordering a cola is enough for his bartender to [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness quickly become very concerned]].
103	* AlliterativeName: '''G'''us '''G'''oldman.
104	* FormerlyFit: In pictures and flashbacks, he was quite lean and good-looking a couple of decades ago.
105	* GoodNewsBadNews: Tends to do this with the girls. They don't like it much.
106	* PapaWolf: Despite all the comedy with his incompetence handling the girls, he genuinely does care for them. When someone burns Tuesday's hand with dry ice, he angrily says he'll punish whoever is responsible.
107	* SitcomArchnemesis: Develops an almost immediate dislike of Dahlia, and two interact in hilariously petty ways.
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:Roddy]]
111	!!Roddy
112	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MiyuIrino (JP), Creator/ZachAguilar (EN), Miguel Ángel Ruiz (MEX)
113	[[quoteright:109:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carole5png.jpg]]
114
115	An acquaintance of Gus. His video recording of Carole and Tuesday's performance of "Loneliest Girl" goes viral after he uploads it. Afterward he joins Gus in helping Carole and Tuesday become professional musicians.
116	----
117	* BrainyBrunette: Brown-haired and is much more technologically savvy than Gus.
118	* ButtMonkey: Usually gets the short end of the stick when it comes to Gus' schemes.
119	* HidingBehindYourBangs: His hair always covers his right eye, perhaps to portray his shyness.
120	* HyperCompetentSidekick: Technically, Gus is in charge of getting Carole and Tuesday's career off the ground, but Roddy's usually the one getting them equipment, publicity, and gigs.
121	* MeaningfulName: Roddy's name sounds like "roadie". It does not ''quite'' apply, since he's actually a sound engineer, but it's close enough.
122	* {{Otaku}}: Hinted at. He has a collection of mech figurines that he treasures, and when thinking of ideas for Carole and Tuesday's first music video, he's insistent that it be animated. His official profile also states that his favorite type of music is cheesy, old school Vocaloid songs.
123	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: A lot of the help he is able to give the girls comes from connections he has with other people of higher social standing. It's rather incredible that he's a friend of Ertegun himself.

125
126	[[folder:Dahlia Carpenter]]
127	!!Dahlia Carpenter
128	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenyuuHoriuchi (JP), Creator/BrookChalmers (EN), Creator/GerardoReyero (MEX)
129
130	Angela's parent and agent. Has been pushing their daughter in their career since she was a child.
131	----
132	* AmbiguousGender: While Dahlia refers to themselves as Angela's mother and Angela calls them "Mom", Tao reveals in episode 5 that they have a condition called "Martian Androgyny", which probably explains their [[VocalDissonance surprisingly deep voice.]] WordOfGod on the anime's website is that the Martian environment gives Dahlia shifting characteristics of both sexes, and the site refers to them with gender-neutral pronouns. A photo from Angela's old room shows them with a much more masculine appearance (minus their current hair, dress, and heavy makeup).[[note]]It should be noted that some foreign language dubs, such as Spanish, address her as female due to language restrictions, as some of those languages doesn't have gender neutral pronouns.[[/note]]
133	* {{Gonk}}: Dahlia is huge, overweight, and looks less appealing than other characters.
134	* HollywoodHeartAttack: [[spoiler:Dies in Episode 22, after being hospitalized for a heart attack.]]
135	* InconsistentSpelling: Although Dahlia is the official spelling, [[spoiler:a vitals monitor in the hospital]] spells it "Dharia".
136	* TroubledAbuser: Episode 7 implies Dahlia's stress over their Male-to-Female transition as well as poorly prescribed medicine drove them to verbally and physically abuse Angela as a child. While Dahlia is contrite and the mother and daughter's relationship has gotten better by the present, Angela still can't abide the memories in her childhood home.
137	* VicariouslyAmbitious: Dahlia was a child star that fell into obscurity by their twenties. Now they're pushing Angela to achieve the stardom they dreamed of. Angela has always been aware of what drove her mother's encouragement, and finally calls them out for it in episode 20.

140	[[folder:Tao]]
141	!!Tao
142	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiroshiKamiya (JP), Creator/KyleMcCarley (EN), Alan Prieto (MEX)
143	[[quoteright:126:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carole3png.jpg]]
144
145	A successful music producer. He helps kick-off Angela's music career by writing her songs with his A.I.
146	----
147	* AloofBigBrother: Behaves this way towards Angela, who constantly seeks his approval after he takes her under his wing while he acts caring bus distant towards her and the [[spoiler:finale reveals they are both designer babies created by the same scientist]].
148	* BetterWithNonHumanCompany: Tao prefers the company of his A.I. than other people, as Angela notes with annoyance at his indifference.
149	* BrutalHonesty: When he first meets Angela, he wastes no time telling her that working with him means becoming his puppet. He is also very open about how he prefers the company of A.I. over people and how he doesn't care about what Angela thinks of him.
150	* TheCracker: After Schwartz has him arrested, Tao takes revenge by [[spoiler:hacking his company files to expose all of the latter's illegal dealings and have him imprisoned]].
151	* DesignerBabies: [[spoiler:He was the first one designed by Professor Zeeman.]]
152	* ImprobableAge: Tao's expertise covers multiple fields and he has yielded success in the sciences, technology and music. As the [[spoiler:last episode reveals, he's only 25]].
153	* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler:In a convoluted way; Tao and Angela are Professor Zeeman's test tube-grown DesignerBabies. They're (probably) not biologically siblings, but were created by the same man.]]
154	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Both Angela and Dahlia are very surprised when he suggests Angela switches songs right before performing at Mars' Brightest based on a GutFeeling.
155	* ReiAyanamiExpy: He doesn't look like one, but his icy personality and [[spoiler:status as a genetically-altered [[DesignerBabies designer baby]]]] fit the Rei Ayanami persona to a T.
156	* RenaissanceMan: Tao is an expert programmer, researcher in the field of neuroscience and renowned music producer.
157	* TheSocialExpert: While claiming to dislike having to interact with people, Tao is quite adept at reading them and their reactions, at one point correctly predicting which kind of song will win Angela the round in Mars Brightest and at another assessing the behavior of her stalker to intercept and incapacitate him.
158	* StoicSpectacles: Wears glasses and is a generally cold and inexpressive person.
159	* TheUnfettered: ''Nothing'' fazes this man. Absolutely nothing. The closest he comes to actually showing some sort of emotion is when [[spoiler:he realizes with some shock that Black_Knight infiltrated the security personel at Cydonia Festival, though even when confronting the guy, he is as calm as ever.]]

162	[[folder:Spencer Simmons]]
163	!!Spencer
164	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakahiroSakurai (JP), Creator/LucienDodge (EN), Christian Strempler (MEX)
165
166	Tuesday's older brother. He helps his mother out with her presidential campaign.
167	----
168	* AlliterativeName: '''S'''pencer '''S'''immons.
169	* BigBrotherInstinct: When Kyle brings up Tuesday's name to him in their first meeting, Spencer snarls out a "stay away from my little sister" as he walks away.
170	* CoolBigBro: Not only does he try to comfort Tuesday after she's brought back home, he even holds off the security robots so Tuesday can escape.
171	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When he sees his sister for the first time on stage, he immediately drops any plans to retrieve her.
172	* HonestAdvisor: Unlike the slimy Jerry, he tries to advise his mother the best way he can, trying to convince her the ideas Jerry proposes will only bring disaster to her and the people of Mars.
173	* TheDutifulSon: Is willing to follow his mother Valerie's demands, whether it be things with her campaign or tracking down his little sister Tuesday. He will draw the line when he thinks it's appropriate, such as leaving Tuesday alone after seeing how much she is enjoying singing and helping her escape their home after she's forcefully taken back.
174	* NotSoDifferentRemark: He admits to his younger sister that, when he was younger, he also wanted to be a musician but gave up.
175	* SugarAndIcePersonality: Spencer doesn't emote very often, but he's a caring brother to Tuesday, and he worries what Valerie's anti-immigration platform will do to both her and innocent people of Mars.

179	!!Valerie
180	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Tomoko Miyadera (JP), Creator/RachelRobinson (EN), Magda Giner (MEX)
181
182	A presidential candidate for Mars, and also Spencer and Tuesday's mother.
183	----
184	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Valerie is hardly a good person, that's for sure, [[spoiler: but finding out Jerry was the one behind the weather plant bombing prompts her to fire him and withdraw her candidacy for president.]]
185	* FantasyForbiddingMother: She doesn't approve of Tuesday's desire to be a musician. She initially tries to overlook her running away from home at first (since bring attention to it will make her look bad), but she later takes her back home by force while Mars' Brightest is still running. She gives up entirely when Tuesday successfully runs away again.
186	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:She is utterly disgusted by Jerry's role in the terrorist attack, and both fires him and resigns from the running for the presidency to make sure that they both take responsibility in their own ways.]]
187	* ItsAllAboutMe: If it's to advance her political career, she will lock up her own daughter at home and advocate to revoke Earth and Mars' trade agreement, which will most certainly ruin relations between both planets.
188	* SoProudOfYou: Not spoken, sure, but her watching [[spoiler:her daughter performing "Mother" on New Year's Eve has her brimming with pride and love for her daughter, and opens the way up for a resolution between them in the future.]]
189	* {{Trumplica}}: It's not very difficult to see the similarities between Valerie - a blonde-haired politician spouting anti-immigrant, isolationist rhetoric - and a [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump certain US president]]. The signs held up by some of her supporters in episode 15 look very similar to some Trump lawn signs-red, with the name of the candidate in the middle surrounded by a thin white rectangle with stars at the top and bottom.
190	* ToxicFriendInfluence: In her desire to ensure her triumph as presidential candidate, she agrees to advocate her advisor Jerry's self-destructive policies that are certain to cause conflict between Earth and Mars.

197	Angela's new manager. She used to be a huge fan of hers.
198	----
199	* AscendedFangirl: Was a big fan of Angela's prior to becoming her manager. She's excited at first but soon finds out Angela isn't quite what she appears to be.
200	* AlliterativeName: '''K'''aty '''K'''imura.
201	* BeleagueredAssistant: She realises in the matter of minutes that working for Angela won't be a dream come true.
202	* TheBusCameBack: Katy gets cruelly fired by Angela half-way through the series after the latter accuses her of harming Tuesday. Katy later returns to the series near the end [[spoiler: to start supporting Angela after she had a drug overdose due to Dahlia's death.]]
203	* EarlyBirdCameo: Look closely in Episode 1 and you can see her in the crowd watching Angela arrive. She makers her proper debut a couple episodes later.
204	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: On Tao's instruction, Katy decides to scout out Carole and Tuesday's dressing room in order to get information for Angela. Unfortuantely, Cybelle's dry ice stunt that ends up injuring Tuesday not long afterwards and Katy vaguely matching the description of the culprit leads to her getting suspected by Angela and fired.
205	* TheScapegoat: With only Roddy's vague description of the perpetrator to go on, Angela assumes Katy is behind Tuesday's injury and shows her the door.
206	* WartsAndAll: Katy is Angela's number one fan, even in spite of all of Angela's negative qualities. Even after getting fired by her after a false accusation, Katy still returns to support her during her darkest hour [[spoiler: following Dahlia's death]].

210	!!Tobe
211	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Hiroshi Iwasaki (JP), Joe [=DiMucci=] (EN)
212
213	An... ''odd'' old man, who turns out to be the famous music producer Tobe. He helps Carole and Tuesday out per Gus' request, albeit via TrainingFromHell.
214	----
215	* BirdsOfAFeather: Starts to get along with Gus very quickly because both are alcoholic, Texas-born old-school musicians.
216	* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's foul-mouthed, alcoholic, reclusive, and he first appears waving an axe around while babbling incoherently... but he's an ''excellent'' producer, and has the respect of everyone in the industry who knows him.
217	* DefrostingIceKing: While still brash, he confesses towards the end of production that he believed the girls were the real deal from day one and even joins up to play the organ for their song with Crystal. He's also proud when the two propose to [[spoiler: organize an illegal concert to protest the crackdown on artists]].
218	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He just appears out of nowhere, incoherently screaming like a madman, [[AxeCrazy swinging an axe around]].
219	* GrumpyOldMan: Cranky and foul-mouthed, but considered a legendary old-school producer.
220	* ShoutOut: A brilliant music producer who is mentally unstable, insists on perfection and threatens artists with weapons? Why hello there, Music/PhilSpector!
221	* SinkOrSwimMentor: He is incredibly demanding of Carole and Tuesday, requiring dozens upon dozens of takes and rejecting about a hundred of song proposals of theirs after hearing half a note. He's like that because
222	* SirSwearsALot: Says the word "shit" quite a lot, for both insults and compliments.

226	!!Kyle Davis
227	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunichiSuwabe (JP), Ben Lepley (EN)
228
229	A reporter who's following the presidential campaign. Since he's following Valerie Simmons specifically, he also takes an interest in Tuesday.
230	----
231	* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:He takes Spencer's sign of cold feet very personal because it reminded him of his mother, who never tried to see the error of her ways because of his alcoholic father never coming back home despite her unhealthy wishes to have him around.]]
232	* HeelFaceTurn: A very early one. He was at first trying to blemish Valerie's campaign, but then as he started digging deeper, he felt it was his job to uncover the truth.
233	* IntrepidReporter: A reporter interested in uncovering the corruption behind Valerie Simmons' campaign.
234	* PermaStubble: Has the unshaven style, and it goes with his laid-back approach to stories.
235	* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Gets angry at Spencer when he gets cold feet about [[spoiler: blowing the whistle on Valerie's campaign, wanting to confront her in person]].
236	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:We only ever see his girlfriend for one scene before she promptly disappears entirely from the plot without so much as a mention.]]

244	----
245	* ProfessionalButtKisser: Tao describes Aaron to be someone who likes to kiss up to his clients in order to get stuff in return, which is why he tries to cozy up to Angela.
246	* RedHerring: [[spoiler:Despite suspicions, he's not Angela's net stalker Black_Knight. In fact, he's attacked by the real stalker.]]
247	* ReplacementGoldfish: Hired to replace Katy. Subverted when [[spoiler:he is injured in a car crash and quits]], and by Episode 23, Katy has apparently been hired back.
248	* SayingTooMuch: While trying to assure Angela, Aaron says he wants to be her "knight", which Angela notices is similar to [[spoiler:the creepy messages she's been getting on social media.]]

259	* InTheHood: His face is hidden by a dark hoodie up until Episode 19.
260	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He's only known by "Black_Knight", his username.

268	[[quoteright:133:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carole7png.jpg]]
269
270	A famous DJ who Roddy works for. He later guest stars on Mars' Brightest to judge, which is unfortunate for Carole and Tuesday due to the... rough first meeting they have with him beforehand.
271	----
272	* BreakTheHaughty: Has a crisis and becomes self-deprecating, thinking he is washed up, after his AI manager steals his identity and causes him to go bankrupt. He turns back around to his usual self quickly.
273	* {{Catchphrase}}: Prone to saying "Fire!" during his performances, and a rhetorical "Who am I?" when he goes into speeches about himself.
274	* DumbassDJ: A DJ who is also a self-absorbed jerk.
275	* GoodAngelBadAngel: Has a variation of the angel/devil imagery after his bankruptcy. Ertegun hallucinates a version of himself that mocks him, calling him a washout and saying that everyone is laughing at him, and another version of himself that encourages him and tells him he's an awesome DJ.
276	* HiddenDepths: He initially plans to make his speech when announcing the Best New Artist Grammy about himself. He ends up [[spoiler: criticizing the government for rounding up artists and interfering with freedom of speech]]. He subsequently doesn't need much convincing to get in on Carole and Tuesday's [[spoiler: illegal concert]].
277	* ItsAllAboutMe: He's so self-absorbed, anything not related to him or his career may as well not be worth dirt. What makes this so delusional is that he doesn't even ''write'' his songs. They're all written by A.I. algorithms.
278	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Arrogant though he may be, he also isn't impossible to get along with, and he grows to genuinely like Carole and Tuesday despite their rocky first meeting. He even [[spoiler:is one of the first musicians to partner up with them for their protest concert against the xenophobic sentiment infecting Mars.]]
279	* OddFriendship: "Friends" might be a stretch, but he gets along with the rather shy and unassuming Roddy.
280	* PerformanceAnxiety: Subverted at the fall Cydonia Festival, his first concert after the aforementioned BreakTheHaughty moment. He immediately curls up beneath the spotlight, whining that his fans will have forgotten him, and Carole and Tuesday think he's relapsed... but it's just a ploy to goad the audience into calling his name, and he rises to his feet in a matter of seconds to tremendous cheers.
281	* PetTheDog: He tears up and genuinely praises Carole and Tuesday after their performance at Mars' Brightest finals. Even before that, he doesn't press charges when they set off the fire sprinklers and alarm with a fiery prank. [[spoiler: He also calls Tao a friend who helped him during a rough time at the Grammy's, appalled that he was arrested]].

289	* AmbiguouslyBrown: She's dark-skinned but has ambiguous ethnicity. The bindi suggests Indian descent.
290	* NiceGirl: She congratulates Carole and Tuesday for their efforts at Cydonia's festival despite being booed by the crowd, and even hugs them to motivate them.
291	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Her style of music calls to mind Music/{{Beyonce}}, as well as her reputation as a modern diva.

303	* GentleGiant: Skip may be introduced as a ScaryBlackMan, but he genuinely compliments Carole and Tuesday for writing their own songs and willingly helps provide them backup when recording their music.
304	* SingingVoiceDissonance: His speaking voice is deep and intimidating, but his singing voice is much higher and soft.

321	A legendary musician who stopped appearing in public at one point.
322	----
323	* AmbiguousGender: Similarly to Dahlia, Mars' radiation has altered their hormones, meaning that while they were born male, they now feel like something in-between.
324	* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Appears to pass away peacefully after their final song in their feature episode. They are later shown to be in a coma on life support, but they open their eyes in Episode 23. They finally leave their mansion and sings along with everyone else in Episode 24.]]
325	* FacialMarkings: Desmond has a purple triangular marking just under their mouth.
326	* FingerTwitchingRevival: [[spoiler:In Episode 23, their finger is seen twitching. This reveals that not only are they comatose and NotQuiteDead, but they're about to wake up from said coma. Sure enough, they join Carole and Tuesday for their big performance in the finale.]]
327	* TheLostLenore: The only man they ever loved passed away years ago, leaving them with only his songs as comfort.
328	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Desmond's glam rock-inspired singing calls to mind Music/DavidBowie and they look like one of the singer's personas such as Ziggy Stardust.
329	* ReclusiveArtist: An InUniverse example; they've spent 20 years without making public appearances, with only their plants and A.I. butler as company, although they have occasionally invited rising artists to their home.

336	A former singing star who was discovered by Gus before signing a contract with a big label and cutting ties with him. Gus, Carole and Tuesday find her 20 years later, homeless and broken.
337	----
338	* BrokenBird: After years in the music industry without anyone to really trust, she sank in a depression and lost the will to sing.
339	* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:After all of the hell she goes through after ditching Gus and her subsequent crash, she finally regains her voice and a much happier outlook - and most importantly, she reconnects with Gus, opening the door to them rekindling their relationship.]]
340	* IWasQuiteTheLooker: Downplayed; Flora's not completely without her good looks, but years of depression and substance abuse have done a number on them.
341	* MyGreatestFailure: Firing Gus as her manager resulted in her left without anyone to trust in the music industry, something she deeply regrets. Gus, for his part, feels that letting her go so easily was ''his'' greatest failure.
342	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Flora's backstory, music, and appearance is based off of Music/WhitneyHouston who also had a history of drug addiction that eventually lead to her death. Flora's story, thankfully, ends on a much brighter note.
343	* TheOneThatGotAway: Clearly she and Gus felt something for each other, but she chose to cut ties with him to continue her career. She comes to regret it in the present.
344	* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: Flora grew up poor, so she dropped Gus in favour of professional managers as a quicker path to stardom and wealth when her chance came. If she had stuck it out with Gus, Flora probably could have had a happier and fuller career.

351	Famous rapper and childhood friend of Carole, back when they lived on Earth.
352	----
353	* AnImmigrantsTale: Like Carole, he lived on Earth before emigrating to Mars. But he had a much harder time than her surviving as an illegal immigrant.
354	* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: He tells Carole to stay away from him so she won't risk getting condemned by association for his anti-government music.
355	* ChildhoodFriends: Has known Carole since they were small, but ten years of separation have made him distant towards her. The song he writes for her while he's in jail implies he may have had feelings for her.
356	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: According to Carole, he was the sensitive one while she protected him. Not so much the case in the present, where he has more of a gangster attitude.
357	* PoliticalRap: His style of predilection, which doesn't bode well during a presidential campaign where anti-immigrant sentiment is surging.

366	The head judge for Mars' Brightest.
367	----
368	* BrutalHonesty: The woman doesn't mince her words while giving her judgement.
369	* FreudianTrio: The ego among the judges. Benito is more emotional and the other two are more clinical or detached, while she acts as the center of the group.
370	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's harsh with criticism and a shrewd business woman, but she's also not without kindness - when Tuesday's hand is burned, her first question is asking about Tuesday's immediate health rather than the competition.
371	* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The Mean of the trio of original judges, as she's harsh and biting in her commentary. It makes her rare compliments much more impactful. When Ertegun becomes a guest judge with her and Benito, she becomes the In Between, as Ertegun's arrogance is much more snide than her tough but fair observation.
372	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She's harsh and has to enforce the rules of the Mars' Brightest competition, but she also is more than willing to find loopholes where she can for musicians who she sees potential in.

381	[[quoteright:120:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/benitopng.jpg]]
382	* AmbiguouslyBi: While he shows some CampGay mannerisms and his Japanese speech patterns are very feminine, he's shown blushing and fawning over both Pyotr and Cybelle.
383	* FreudianTrio: Among the judges, he's the Id. He's far more passionate and expressive than the others.
384	* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The Nice of the judges, as he's the quickest to dole out compliments and to find a positive in each competitor's audition.

392
393	An A.I and judge of Mars' Brightest.
394	----
395	* FreudianTrio: The superego among the judges. As one would expect from a robot, he makes it clear that he doesn't have the same feelings as others. All of his judgments come from logical conclusions based on his programming.
396	* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The In Between of the judges, as he bases his opinions on cold logic but isn't harsh like Catherine.
397	* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: He's an A.I. using the body of a robot dog, but advanced enough to give judgement for the contest.
398	* RobotDog: He's an A.I who takes the form of a small robotic dog.
399	* RunningGag: Saying to the audience that, as an A.I., he doesn't entirely understand how humans feel.

406
407	A social media star and contestant for Mars' Brightest.
408	----
409	* AgentPeacock: He might exude CampGay stereotypes, but he's certainly a good singer and dancer.
410	* AmbiguouslyGay: His backstory reads like a ComingOutStory, and his song was basically a knock-off version of Lady Gaga's "Born this Way". Notably, the backstory resonated extremely well with [[AmbiguouslyBi Benito.]]
411	* TheBusCameBack: Roddy reveals in Episode 23 that Pyotr has formed a duo with GGK called Losers; the duo properly appear the next episode to help Carole and Tuesday with their project.
412	* {{Camp}}: The guy sure is campy, although his sexuality isn't confirmed.
413	* CatchPhrase: He likes to say an enthusiastic "Pow!"
414	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass:
415	** Everything about his character development before he hits the stage sets him up to be a shallow, dumb, purely irritating character. Once he hits the stage, his skill is terrifying. Once he finally gets defeated (at the hands of Carole and Tuesday), he reminds everyone his whole goal was to boost his existing fan base, which he accomplished. Then he congratulates the winners and exits the stage like a total boss.
416	** Despite only taking part in the competition to gain more followers on social media, Pyotr ends up developing a real passion for music through the experience and ends up forming a musical duo with GGK afterwards.
417	* GracefulLoser: Pyotr has no hard feelings about his loss to Carole and Tuesday, telling them their music touched him as well. Besides, just appearing on the show got his channel tons of new followers, which is what he wanted most!
418	* HiddenDepths: He seems like a total clown and show-off, but he's very serious about his music. Also, he spent years stifling his true self to fit in. Only after being true to himself was he able to love himself.
419	* InkSuitActor: Pyotr's English voice actor, Erik Kimerer, has the same dyed hair and facial features as him.
420	* {{Keet}}: Youthful, energetic, and peppy at almost all times, especially while streaming to his fans.
421	* NiceGuy: He acts warmly with Carole and Tuesday before their match and assures them that the competition between them is friendly and fair. He's also a very good sport when they eventually beat him.
422	* SingingVoiceDissonance: On the opposite side of Skip. His speaking voice is high and girly, but his singing voice is deeper and more masculine.
423	* XanatosGambit: His goal the whole time is to boost his viewership. Win or lose, this boosts his numbers, so he benefits just by virtue of showing up and posting videos of his experiences.

430
431	A contestant for Mars' Brightest who takes an immediate liking to Tuesday.
432	----
433	* AmbiguouslyGay: Her sexuality is unknown, but her devotion to Tuesday implies she's at least attracted to women. She even gives her a playful bite on the neck.
434	* {{Bifauxnen}}: Has BoyishShortHair, gender-neutral clothing, and speaks in a tomboyish voice. [[{{Bokukko}} She also uses the masculine pronoun "boku".]]
435	* EntitledToHaveYou: She views Tuesday as hers, citing that she "claimed" Tuesday when she bit her neck.
436	* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench: She chooses to sing in French because it's a "beautiful and elegant language", and she does with a very whispery and sensual voice.
437	* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Cybelle's IfICantHaveYou stunt in which she seriously burns Tuesday's hand not only gets her arrested, but leads her to destroying any potential friendship she could have had with her. Particularly notable at the end of the series where Carole and Tuesday end up collaborating with majority of the artists they've met -- she's conspicuously absent from the group of them specifically because, unlike everyone else, she torched that bridge permanently.]]
438	* IfICantHaveYou: After Tuesday turns down Cybelle's offer to become a duo, Cybelle decides to try and sabotage her and Carole's performance on Mars' Brightest by burning Tuesday's hand with dry ice.
439	* InkSuitActor: Looks exactly like Maika Loubté, her singing voice. Cybelle even sings a song in French to capitalize on Loubté being half-French and fluent in it.
440	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She greets Tuesday in a way too casual manner when first meeting her. She even hugs her without waiting for her response, and even goes to ask for a kiss before Carole interrupts.
441	* PsychoLesbian: Has shades of this, being a same-sex, obsessive stalker to Tuesday, whose sexuality isn't confirmed, but definitely isn't interested in Cybelle romantically.
442	* SanitySlippage: Cybelle was already a bit unhinged due to uncomfortable hero worship of Tuesday, but then she ends up completely losing it when Tuesday turns down her offer of becoming a duo act with her, viewing the snub as a betrayal.
443	* StalkerWithACrush: She's apparently a big fan of Tuesday, and assumes they have some kind of bond even before meeting. When Tuesday summons the spine to tell her she's not interested in forming a duo with her, Cybelle gets angry and displays a frighteningly possessive side.
444	* {{Yandere}}: Displays frighteningly possessive behaviour towards Tuesday. For Tuesday's "betrayal" of going back on her promise that they'll form a band together (something that didn't happen to begin with), Cybelle sets up Tuesday to burn her hand on dry ice.

465	----
466	* FaceOfAThug: He looks like a gangster, as one would expect. But as his grandmother tells us, he's actually very timid and would never commit a crime.
467	* HiddenDepths: Despite his thug appearance and brash behaviour, his song is a combination of rap with ''classical opera''.
468	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: It's implied that had Bulldog been honest about his background, he might have actually made it to the next round instead of Carole and Tuesday. His lie getting exposed only caused further suspicion of how much his music was legitimate.
469	* PaperTiger: He might look threatening, but in reality he's a huge softie who loves his grandma.

481	* BerserkButton: They attack the show judges for "disrespecting" (read: not liking) their lyrics.
482	* LyricalDissonance: The lyrics of their song is nothing more than [[ClusterFBomb a long string of curses]], which doesn't go at all with the peppy rhythm. This is the reason Catherine kicks them out before they could even finish.

496	* TheBusCameBack: Episode 23 reveals GGK formed a duo called Losers with Pyotr; the two properly reappear the next episode to help Carole and Tuesday with their project.
497	* CloudCuckoolander: The woman is rather weird, believing she's connected to the universe, hence why she lists her age as the ''age of the universe'' and 22.
498	* GracefulLoser: She clearly has no hard feelings after losing to Angela.
499	* HiddenDepths: We learn from her backstory that she was stifled and felt dead in her old life. She came to the city to find a place where she belonged, and found her calling through music. Her whole "at one with the universe" schtick seems to an expression of how she feels now that she's truly living and happy.
500	* InkSuitActor: She looks quite a bit like Madison [=McFerrin=] (her singing voice), only with her hair styled in braids instead of an afro.
