10[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gina_diggers.jpg]]
11
12Super-scientist and archeologist who embarks on bizarre adventures both within and outside of our dimensional realm, with the help of her family.
13----
14* AchievementsInIgnorance: She bulked herself up without realizing it.
15* AdventurerArchaeologist: The DistaffCounterpart to [[Franchise/IndianaJones one Henry Jones, Jr.]]
16* BadassBookworm: Not much of a fighter but can use her brain very well. Once, she used a ''pencil and Post-It note'' to ''hijack the spell tattoos of a warrior''.
17* BerserkButton:
18** Do not mention that you like the ''Franchise/StarWars'' prequels if you want to keep your dignity.
19--> '''Gina:''' SEIZE HER! Such ''blasphemy'' shall ''not'' be tolerated in my Sanctum Sanctorum! ... The prequel "fan fiction" is a ''forbidden topic'' within these walls!
20** On a more serious note, and as would be expected, she takes threats of violence and death towards her family, friends, and students quite seriously, even from those clearly more powerful than her. At that point, it's not beyond her to use some form of super-science and/or quasi-magitek to torture and maim said villain.
21* BuxomBeautyStandard: She has a sizable bust, something men and woman lust after or are envious of.
22* CharacterCatchphrase: "Jinkies!"
23* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: While she was in her Warnerd form, even her enemy Galactia thought she was hot.
24* GadgeteerGenius: Along with WrenchWench. She has a self-built laboratory in her Atlanta, GA home that rivals [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Dexter's]].
25* GeniusBruiser: When in her Warnerd form, she becomes incredibly muscular and strong, while maintaining her intelligence.
26* {{GIRL}}: Inverted. Gina plays a sculpted, scantily-clad dude when gaming strictly for [[ThirdPersonSeductress ogling purposes.]]
27* HandsomeLech: She's an eyeful for any male reader and greedily gobbles up any innocent beefcake she might happen upon in the course of her adventures and time at home, with the notable exception of some students in her Advanced Archaeology class. (Most likely because she takes the student-teacher relationship rules seriously, and now that she's more mature, she's (almost) a one-man woman.)
28* InASingleBound: In her Warnerd form, she gains powerful jumping abilities.
29* InsufferableGenius: She used to be one, loving to rub her intellect in others faces, [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating particularly at chess competitions]]. She looks back on her past behavior with shame and tries to make sure her advanced students don't get big headed.
30* LadykillerInLove: Gender-Inverted. She had a rather long list of suitors before she met Ebenezer and she occasionally struggles with staying faithful to him.
31* MuggleBornOfMages: Despite being the only daughter of Earth's most powerful aura mage and Jade's greatest warrior she has absolutely no talent for magic or fighting whatsoever.
32* MusclesAreMeaningful: Her physical abilities are noted to have improved after she bulked up. In her Warnerd form, she can lift columns much bigger than herself.
33* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Archaeology, Engineering, and Physics mostly, though she's said to have [=PHDs=] numbering in the double digits, most awarded before she was 20.
34* PinballProtagonist[=/=]SupportingProtagonist: As the series goes on, Gina plays less and less of a central role in major events and important plot developments. At one point, an entire year of comics went by with her barely putting in an appearance.
35* SuperSenses: In her Warnerd form, in addition to the extra bulk, her sight is greatly enhanced as well, allowing her to identify six molecule groups without a microscope.
36* TemporaryBulkChange:
37** Averted. Ever since Issue 82, she has been shown as more muscular than earlier issues. She is shown to have gotten even more muscular by the 2012 Swimsuit issue.
38** In issues 88 and 89, she gained an amulet that gave her muscular legs.
39** In Warnerd of Mars and issue 234, it is shown that she can absorb enge to gain a muscular super form.
40* UnskilledButStrong: In her Warnerd form. She barely has any formal training, but is so herculean strong it doesn't really matter.

43[[folder:Britanny 'Gia (''nee'' Diggers)]]
44
45[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cheetah_diggers_5.jpg]]
46
47The last known full-blooded were-cheetah. She was found by Theodore and adopted into their family. On an expedition to El Dorado, she ran into Stryyp, the prince of the lost city. It was lust at first sight that developed into true love. They are currently married with a daughter.
48----
49
50* ActionFashionista: She can kick ass and burn through credit limits like nobody's business. She named her daughter after her two favorite stores: Tifanny "Tar'get" 'Gia
51* ActionMom: Her DayInTheLimelight arc has her charging head-on and alone into an EldritchLocation that is a trap set by her lich adoptive grandfather (and Gothwrain) to save her abducted baby daughter.
52* AllAmazonsWantHercules: She admits that part of the reason she attracted to Stryyp is because is that he is one of the only men who can take her in a spar while she's in her hybrid form.
53* AmazonianBeauty: In her hybrid form she is seven feet two (towering by a whole foot over her husband, even) and three hundred-plus pounds of muscle.
54* ArtisticLicenseBiology: She is the largest, boldest and most physically powerful member of her family and she tends to tower over other were-cat species. Ironically, cheetahs in real life are known to be small, weak and timid when compared other predatory cats. It's revealed in the early issues that Britanny's physique is due to her more domestic lifestyle and that were-cheetahs were typically smaller and faster than her.[[note]] Brittany's top speed is over 200 MPH, just for reference. Additionally, she has a were-''lion'' ancestor, and the aforementioned lifestyle apparently caused some recessive traits to kick in.[[/note]]
55* BerserkButton: PlayedForLaughs whenever tuna is involved, but seriously, don't fuck with her family, adopted or otherwise. If you're lucky, you might hear the sonic boom created from how fast she kicks your ass.
56* DeathGlare: Werecheetahs have a "Doom Gaze" effect on were-rats: Any were-rat that looks any were-cheetah in the eye will become incapacitated by fear. Britanny's had this effect on were-rats twice, but as the effect doesn't go both ways, she still doesn't understand why the victims were afraid of her.
57* GenocideBackfire: Dr. Diggers tried to stop the were-cheetah/werewolf war but only managed to save baby Britanny.
58* HappilyAdopted: Dr. Diggers did all he could to make sure Britanny had a normal childhood, and she even remembers Gina's pranks on her with fondness.
59* HappilyMarried: To Stryyp 'Gia, the crown prince of the Kryn Dynasty.
60* HowDoIShotWeb: Having been raised by humans, Britanny could only transform once per day until Jetta the werewolf became her mentor.
61* LastOfHerKind: [[spoiler: ...that is, until Raphiel enters the picture and becomes real.]]
62* LightningBruiser: As it turns out, she's considered ''slow'' by [[FragileSpeedster were-cheetah]] standards. Still, being able to run 700 miles an hour (as "cruising speed") and being able to hit like a couple of tons of bricks comes in handy in a fight.
63* LogicalWeakness: Like real life cheetahs, she's essentially a rocket, extremely fast when going in a straight line, but not good at lateral turns.
64* MamaBear: Threatening her daughter is a good way to invite a beating.
65* MorphicResonance: In her rarely-used human mode, her hair has cheetah spots similar to her fur in hybrid/beast mode.
66* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: Used to be she could only change forms once per day, which led to some not-nice pranks by Gina in their younger days. Now she can switch between her human form, her hybrid form, and her beast form on the fly.
67** The ''Women of Gold Digger'' series reveals that, due to her upbringing (safe exercise and steady food supply, mostly), her build is more like a were-''lion'''s than a typical were-cheetah's, making her a LightningBruiser and not a FragileSpeedster.
68* SingleTargetSexuality: To Stryyp once they met.
69* SleepModeSize: Britanny's human form is even shorter than Gina. Consequently, she rarely uses it unless she has to.
70* StatuesqueStunner: Her hybrid form is well over seven feet tall.
71* SuperMode: Tempest Mode, the full unleashing of her vent-provided magic abilities.
72* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Tuna. It's played for laughs (she goes fully overboard when buying it at the store) and a bit of drama (it's explained early in the comic (and sometimes it comes up) that her tuna-based diet is crap from a were-cheetah's point of view and her claws are incredibly brittle as a result, so she can't use them as weapons like other lycanthropes do).
73* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Britanny is the tallest members of the main cast and while Stripe is one of the shorter ones. But this is only in her hybrid form. In her human form, Stripe is OneHeadTaller than her.
74[[/folder]]
75
76[[folder:Brianna Diggers]]
77
78[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/231586_110365_brianna_diggers.jpg]]
79
80An accidentally created composite clone of Gina and Britanny. Brianna is almost as smart as Gina and almost as tough as Brit' (and roughly as lecherous as them both). She ''really'' likes guns.
81
82* ArtificialFamilyMember: She is a clone created from Gina and Britanny.
83* {{BFG}}: Brianna loves her guns. No, seriously, she does. She is one of the InUniverse co-writers of the "Gold Digger Tech Manual" (a ''Handbook to the Marvel Universe''-style showcase of all tech that has appeared on the comic) and one of Fred Perry's sexual side-books involves her doing... interesting things... in her personal armory.
84* BottomlessMagazines: At one point, she found out in a desperate moment that she could fire bullets made of condensed magical energy, giving her this. Said desperate moment saw them about to get eaten by monsters after Brianna had kept talking about how much she was hoping for a fight while they explored Dreadwing's old cave. Talk about BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor.
85* CompositeCharacter: In-universe. She is half-Gina and half-Britanny.
86* CloneAngst: She inherited all of Gina and Britanny's memories, abilities and feelings up to the moment she was created, which made it terribly difficult for her to carve out her own identity and individuality. She especially had trouble coming to terms with Britanny's strong love with Stripe, since Brianna could never be with him.
87* FacialMarkings: A stripe over her left eye inherited from Brittany's genes.
88* GadgeteerGenius: She inherited Gina's propensity for technology and inventing things, the only difference being all her inventions are weapons, including PoweredArmor, the aforementioned [=BFGs=], and her trademark supersmart AI bitbombs, affectionately named Peebos. Some of these have even become characters themselves.
89* HalfHumanHybrid: Half human, half were-cheetah.
90* HappilyMarried: To a WildMan named Zan.
91* KillAndReplace: When she was born, she was driven to do this by the deadly curse Gina and Brit were trying to get rid of when they ended up making her.
92* SplitPersonality: During the first Jade-Realm arc in the black & white series, Brianna suffers a TapOnTheHead and reverts to her "Grave Digger" persona from when she was trying to kill Gina and Britanny.
93** LiteralSplitPersonality: Later in the same arc, Brianna and Grave are magically split into separate bodies, and immediately start trying to kill each other. Fortunately, they're able to [[SplitPersonalityMerge reconcile]] after Grave has an {{epiphany|Therapy}}, but not before they're thrown into jail because of the property damage.
94* MeaningfulName: Brianna is a combination of '''Bri'''t'''an'''ny and Gi'''na'''.
95* ScienceWizard: Brianna often works her magical abilities into her tech (unwittingly, even). Her Peebos are part AI, part golem, for instance, and Peebri has been observed with an aura. After marrying [[WildMan Zan]] and becoming a druid protecting a forest in Jade Realm, her empowering of the life there has a distinct {{Magitek}} theme; for instance, {{Treants}} that look like HumongousMecha, along with armed bears.
96* ShotgunWedding: They were going in that direction already, but things got accelerated when Bri forgot to recharge her high-tech contraceptive.
97* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Inherited Brittany's love of tuna.
98* TwoDonorClone: She is a composite clone of both Gina and Britanny. She looks like Gina and also has her high intellect. But she also has the speed, strength, and regenerative ability of Britanny's were-cheetah gene.

101[[folder:Jonathan Diggers / The Lich King]]
102Once a kind explorer (like his son and granddaughter would become), Jonathan was caught in an explosion of magic energy that turned him into an evil lich. Banished to the realm of the Undead, he eventually took it over.
103----
104* DemotedToDragon: After his first defeat, he lost his power and Natasha turned him into her servant and her whipping boy.
105* EvilInc: He ran the Realm of the Undead like it was a corporation and turned it previous leaders into his secretaries.
106* FaceHeelTurn: He used to be just as noble and good as his son before [[spoiler:Gothwain cursed him into the Lich King.]]
107* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:He wanted to restore his magical wife, who was trapped in crystal form thanks to Gothwain. However, during the ritual to bring her back, he was left vulnerable and Gothwrain used the opportunity to turn him into an undead abomination.]]
108* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:After his defeat, his soul was purified and his spirit assisted in the rescue of Britanny and Tiffany.]]
109* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:His transformation and actions as the Lich King were all due the manipulations of Gothwrain]].
110[[/folder]]
111
112[[folder:Dr. Theodore Diggers]]
113An archmage and explorer who's Gina's father.
114----
115* AmazonChaser: Given his wife is the incredibly strong barbarian warrior Julia Diggers, who is basically an amazon, he certainly qualifies as one.
116* TheArchmage: A ''very'' powerful aura mage.
117* FlamingSkulls: Often used an illusion spell to do this to his daughters' dates.
118* MyGreatestFailure: Feels some responsibility for [[spoiler:the genocide of the were-cheetahs (of which Brittany was the sole survivor). Theodore had attempted to thwart it by disabling Gothwrain's spell-book, not knowing that the book's pages went blank when closed and that his counter-measure had no effect.]]
119* PapaWolf: He comes to Britanny's rescue [[spoiler:when she's being assaulted by Thabian and Jetta]].
120* SpyCatsuit: The standard costume for aura mages like Theo is a form-fitting unitard. He still fills his out rather well.
121* TwerpSweating: Most fathers polish a shotgun in front of their daughters' dates. Theo magically ''[[FlamingSkulls sets his head on fire]]''.
122[[/folder]]
123
124[[folder:Julia Diggers]]
125
126[[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1878177_jul.jpg]]
127
128A barbarian warrior from the world of Jade. She met Theodore after his well-meaning assistance cost her a tournament win. She made him help her raid a dungeon to make up for it, and the rest is history. When her daughters were young, she ended up stranded on Jade by the actions of the Lich King, unable to return to Earth except for short periods of time, until Gina and Brianna finally figured out how to break the curse.
129----
130* ActionMom: She is a very skilled warrior and a very protective mom.
131* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: She's one of ten Weaponmasters of her home-realm of Jade, which leads to her being sought for advice on threats to Jade-Realm's safety as well as being a ''sensei'' for her preferred style of martial arts, the Shun Leep school.
132* {{Going Commando}}/{{Vapor Wear}}: It's repeatedly hinted that Julia wears no underwear under her outfit as a Shun Leep pupil. From her obvious lack of a bra, shots of her body from the waist down having no signs of cloth on it, convenient camera angles preventing what would be indecent exposure, and other students showing no signs of underwear. Considering the Shun Leep school's master is a {{Dirty Old Man}} who only teaches women (to the point that Theodore didn't want Julia anywhere near him), this [[JustifiedTrope isn't surprising]].
133* MissingMom: For the first volume or so, then they came and explained ''why''.
134* OlderThanTheyLook: Julia already [[SilverVixen looked good for her age]], then she accidentally refined her master's "Renewing Breath" technique and shaved thirty years off. Granted, she eventually had to give up that extra boost, but she still looks good for her age.
135* ShipperOnDeck: She had tried to set her student Gar up with Britanny, but he was too shy to make a move until she was already with Stripe.
136* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Technically, she was trapped on her ''homeworld'', but otherwise separated from her family.
137[[/folder]]
138
139[[folder:Stryyp'Gia / Stripe]]
140
141[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1878349_stripe.jpg]]
142
143The Krynn Prince of El Dorado, married to Britanny.
144
145* AmazonChaser: Though she chased first.
146* TheApprentice: To Agent M, who is grooming Stripe to be his successor as leader of the superhero team Agency Zero.
147* LightningBruiser: While starting out WeakButSkilled, the Kryn Heirlooms turn him into one of these.
148* PapaWolf: [[spoiler:He forces his artifact-weapons to consume his own being for fuel in an attempt to protect Tifanny and rescue Britanny.]] He half-wins.
149* PlayingWithFire: His primary offense post-artifacts, control and creation of flames via Flameraker
150* PrinceCharming: While just of a small city, Stripe's both actual royalty, and quite charming.
151* PunnyName: It's pronounced the same as "stripe," and as a result that's sometimes how it's spelled.
152* SupremeChef: Very much so. He often has to keep his wife from eating everyone else's shares.
153* TakenForGranite: One of his artifacts grants him both defensive abilities, and the power to turn targets to stone. He rarely uses the latter, for ethical reasons.
154* UpgradeArtifact: Several, really. When needed to confront a cosmic threat facing his people, El Dorado pulled their rare and dangerous heirlooms out of storage in order to get him to a level where he could fight ASAP.
155* WeakButSkilled: Before he has the Kryn heirlooms and their powers implanted, he relied on his skill and lightning quick reflexes in combat, though he was still overshadowed by the greater strength of Brit and the like.
156[[/folder]]
157
158[[folder:Tifanny 'Gia]]
159Britanny and Stryyp's daughter.
160----
161* ChildProdigy: Extremely intelligent, demonstrated when she out-maneuvers a con man out to ruin her mom's credit.
162* {{Nanomachines}}: Thanks to her father's artifacts.
163[[/folder]]
164
165!Team Gold Digger
166[[folder:Genn]]
167A Rakshasa the Diggers sisters found in an ancient tomb. Currently married to Seance, and Brianna's best friend.
168----
169* TheFogOfAges: Has trouble remembering anything that happened over 500 years ago.
170* GenderBender: Rakshasa are so rare that they need to be able to switch gender in order to continue their magic-based species.
171* IfItsYouItsOkay: Kinda. Genn pretty much gives up her male transformations after falling in love with Seance.
172* LifeDrinker: Actually, Genn drinks {{Mana}}.
173* MyBelovedSmother: [[spoiler: Madrid the genie is her mother, who doesn't care about Gennadrid except when it's blackmail time.]]
174* OurMonstersAreDifferent: Rakshasa in ''Gold Digger'' are gender-neutral [[{{Shapeshifting}} shapes-shifters]] who drink magic energy. However, they have to exhaust their "victim" physically first. They typically do this through combat or sex.
175* ShapeshiftingLover: She is this to Seance.
176* SexierAlterEgo: Genn can shapeshift into male and female versions of Genn’s normal form, as well as disguising herself as or mimicking specific people.
177[[/folder]]
178
179[[folder:Seance]]
180An aura mage and student of Theodore Diggers. Ex-boyfriend of Gina. Currently married to Genn.
181
182* CombatClairvoyance: His ability has saved his butt on more than one occasion, as he has felt his foe's thoughts of a lethal attack moments before it occurred.
183* DirtyMindReading: When first introduced, he had trouble controlling his ability to read the surface thoughts of others. Both Gina and Genn's imaginations were rather "inspired", much to their embarrassment...
184* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: "Seance" is a title, not his birth name.
185* KungFuWizard: Had himself turned into one, but then found out the change wasn't as permanent, nor as desirable, as he thought.
186[[/folder]]
187
188[[folder:Ryan Tabbot]]
189A martial artist treasure hunter, occasional rival and often ally of Gina and Penny. Gina's ex-boyfriend.
190----
191* AdventurerArchaeologist: He was originally one but seems to have retired from it to focus on wrestling.
192* AnimalsHateHim: Rhinos and rhino-like animals ''seriously'' hate his guts.
193* DemotedToExtra: He was originally Gina's primary male companion in the black and white issues and was seemingly being set up as her love interest. However, he quickly and quietly faded into the background during the color series, making only seven appearances since the 1999 relaunch.
194* KiManipulation: Through much practice, Ryan eventually learned how to huck balls of ki at his foes.
195* PhotographicMemory: Ryan can copy any martial arts move he sees once- though choosing the right one for the moment is up to his learned skills.
196* ShipTease: Gets some with Portia in Issue #253.
197[[/folder]]
198
199[[folder:Dao]]
200A Djinn whom Gina recovered. A Djinn tends to take on characteristics of the people most liked by the person ''s/he'' likes, so he eventually went from six-armed, bronze, bald and bearded to a blend of the males who get the most positive reactions from Gina. Currently back together with his ex-wife, after her [[HeelFaceTurn Heel/Face Turn]].
201
202* GenieInABottle: A literal genie in a lamp when he's first found.
203* MultiArmedMultitasking: His extra arms, and the skill in multitasking his experience with them gave, made him a fantastic lab assistant.
204* OurGeniesAreDifferent: Not beings of smoke nor, exactly, a wish granter, but Dao does have extra magic powers that kick in when helping others.
205[[/folder]]
206
207[[folder:Madrid]]
208Originally, the Djinn princess of Yl'Daljim, she desired the power of Yl'Daljim's magic sun, but in her attempts to seize it, she released invaders that enslaved the Djinn. After this, she was in a temple in India for an undetermined amount of time until Fauntleroy stole her from said temple. After she came into Gina's possession, it was revealed that Genn is her offspring. She then asked Genn to make her body genetically similar to Gina's so she could take Gina's place, go to Yl'Daljim, and finally take the power of the magic sun. In the final battle between them, Gina tricked Madrid into a trap on the dark side of the Moon. Madrid eventually returned to Earth, where her backstabbing ways promptly get her into trouble again. Several weeks of humiliation at the claws of some cruel dragons, who just happened to be Fauntleroy's wives, finally broke her spirit and drove her to turn her life around. Now, she generally explores the Astral Rifts with Dao and Subtracto.
209----
210* AbusiveParents: Neglected Genn for most of their life.
211* BreakTheHaughty: The result of her ChronicBackstabbingDisorder and how she made her HeelFaceTurn.
212* BroughtDownToNormal[==]HoistByHisOwnPetard: She forced Genn and Dao to transform her in Gina as part of her plan to seize the magic sun; however, she later learn that the transformation was permanent, meaning she lost her immortality and genie powers. Still, [[BroughtDownToBadass Gina's not the title character for nothing]], and she is effectively another clone of Gina now.
213* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Something she eventually realizes, and it bites her in the back more than once.
214* EvilTwin: Pretty much became this for Gina for a time.
215* {{Foil}}: Prefers to solve problems smaller in scale than Gina's large-scale ones.
216* FutureBadass: BigGood Ancient Gina is actually Madrid's future self, not Gina's...to Britanny's horror.
217* IdenticalTwinIDTag: The major physical differences between Madrid and Gina is that Madrid has much tanner skin and her hair is different color and Gina is more muscular.
218* OurGeniesAreDifferent: Madrid's original form had a shell-like covering on her head, down over where her eyes would be. Her actual eyes were on her abdomen.
219* ThatWomanIsDead: Feels her old self is dead, though some of her old personality remains. The issue is complicated by the fact that the most fundamental personality differences between the two were that Madrid lacked work ethic and a moral compass.
220* WhatTheHellHero: Gina when she realizes Penny and Lynn were helping Madrid for a year. Madrid proves her change of heart to Gina by showing she could have killed her at any time with a portal system Gina couldn't master.
221[[/folder]]
222
223[[folder:Ayane Anno/Mistress]]
224A professional martial artist and friend of Ryan Tabbot, with terrifying eyes and a mysterious past even she doesn't know about.
225
226* AdventurerArchaeologist: A newbie one, only recently getting into it via her friends. The newest student in Gina's class.
227* BlessedWithSuck: Her terrifying eyes, which she regards as a curse.
228* CutenessProximity: A frequent occurrence for her.
229* DanceBattler: The official handbook describes her fighting style as a combination of ninjutsu, Capoeira and ballet.
230* DeathGlare: Unfortunately an 'always on' effect for her.
231* Franchise/DisneyPrincess: [[spoiler: When Mistress is kidnapped by the Prince Lowtor of the 'evil' Uompa-Luompas and hit with LaserGuidedAmnesia by their witch, she finds her captors cute. They, in return find her 'evil eyes' cool; this leads to Ayane spontaneously adopting a Disney Princess-esque persona, complete with songs about how DarkIsNotEvil. She's begun converting them to good before the witch aborts the plan and make everyone forget it ever happened.]]
232* {{Dominatrix}}: Ayane's Mistress persona draws a lot from dominatrix imagery.
233* FaceOfAThug: Her eyes are intimidating enough in her "Mistress" personality. When she was trying to fight as "Ninja Kitty", FriendToAllChildren, she was terrifying.
234* FireForgedFriendship: With Brit.
235* FriendToAllChildren: Desperately wants to be this; as things stand, the best she can manage is making Mistress a GoodBadGirl type of role model.
236* HiddenDepths: Not so hidden really, as they tell us almost right away that she's more than just her "Mistress" persona, but she really loves everything cutesy and plush, despite being able to cow a T-Rex with her eyes alone.
237* KindheartedCatLover: Loves cats. She even adopts a kitten she names Nin-Nin, who, while initially scared by her eyes, starts to bond with her. It helps that her gaze managed to scare away some bully cats.
238* {{Ninja}}: Her fighting style is a mix of ninjutsu and capoeira. She also dressed as a cat-like ninja in a previous wrestling persona.
239* ShipTease: With Monty's Djinni friend, Joe.
240* VictoryThroughIntimidation: When Mistress ''wants'' to scare someone into submission, her scary eyes can go to downright terrifying!
241[[/folder]]
242
243!Penny's Crew
244
245[[folder:Penelope "Penny" Koss (''nee'' Pincer)]]
246
247[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1878311_penny.jpg]]
248
249A fellow explorer and former rival to Gina. (They swapped many a wedgie in the early days of the comic.)
250
251* BerserkButton: Flirting with Ace is a big no-no. She threatens her own sister with a crossbow for doing so.
252* NormalFishInATinyPond: Views herself as the "normal" one of her family.
253* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: She's almost as bad as Gina, which is probably one of the reasons for their earlier rivalry. (She's better in medicine, chemistry, and ballistics.)
254* ParentalSubstitute: For her long-time partner Charlotte, a genetically engineered harpy with the mind of a child.
255* ReformedButNotTamed: Although she's moved on from her more underhanded tactics at the start of the series, Penny's still more ruthless than Gina. (And her prank war with Gina started heating back up again for a while.)
256* TheRival: She used to be Gina's for a long while, though they made up and became partners. Skippy, pushed really by Dark Bird until more recent issues, is this to her for Kevin's affections. She still competes with Gina a lot.
257* SassyBlackWoman: She loves to mess with Gina, be it her nerdiness or muscles.
258* SingleTargetSexuality: She's only ever had eyes for Kevin "Ace" Koss, and it was only recently that they finally made it official.
259* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Manages to talk down her remaining WhatIf versions summoned by an artifact.
260* TemporaryBulkChange: In issues 88 and 89, she gained an amulet that bulks up her legs.

266
267A pilot-for-hire, who is a close friend (and frequent transport) of Gina's, as well as Penny's new husband. Considered to be one of the best pilots on Earth.
268----
269* AcePilot: Has been known to give jet fighters a run for their money in a ''cargo plane''.
270* AllLoveIsUnrequited: He feels like this towards Skippy, an ace pilot in Dark Bird's employ, though not without some guilt since Skippy is a genuinely nice person who just happens to work for someone ruthless.
271* InsistentTerminology: Very much prefers to be called [[VideoGame/SpaceAce "Ace"]] instead of his real name.
272* OnlySaneMan: Usually this with Gina and Penny.
273* TheRival: To Dark Bird, or as she would say, "Dark Boid."

276[[folder:Charlotte]]
277
278A bio-engineered harpy unleashed by the villain Alfred Peachbody as a mindless attack beast. After Peachbody's defeat, she started to develop her own will and personality, and was taken in by Penny as a bodyguard (much like Brit is to Gina).
279----
280* CheerfulChild: Although this may fade, as she's begun entering the equivalent of early adolescence.
281* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Was originally just a biological weapon, but has grown into a lovable person who will do her best to defend her friends.
282* HiddenDepths: Despite her naivete she has surprising aptitude for science.
283* LightningBruiser: According to Penny, she is stronger and maybe even ''faster'' than Britanny (when she is flying anyway). It's mostly her attitude and innocence that hold her back.
284* ShipperOnDeck: Has started shipping people, like Penny and Kevin, Dao and Madrid, and Tiff and Pojo, with special focus on how cute their babies would be.
285* TrademarkFavoriteFood: '''''Peanuts'''''. She's just as bad as Brit is about Tuna (maybe worse).
286* WingedHumanoid: She looks mostly human, except the yellow, feathered skin and wings, and talons for hands/feet.
287* YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite her adult body, Charlotte has only been in existence as a sapient being for a few years and has the mentality of a kid. She gets along very well with Tiffany, and they even go to school together.
