- Crazy Jealous Guy: Downplayed and shown briefly in "Phoenix Rises", when he internally freaks out when Cricket calls Phoenix his best friend.
- A Day in the Limelight: The episodes "Remy Rescue", "DIY Guys", "Dinner Party", "Time Crisis", "Farmer Remy", and "Study Abroad" are dedicated to and primarily center around him.
- Demoted to Extra: Downplayed. He's still a main character, but he was originally planned to be the Deuteragonist of the series before his role was usurped by Tilly.

- Drop-In Character: He comes to the Green house multiple times, since his and Cricket's first meeting, and seems to be the only companion of the Greens who visits them on a standard basis. Becomes more evident since "Remy Rescue" when he admits to his parents he wants to get out of the house more.
- Expy: He strongly resembles Irwin from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
- Extreme Doormat: As seen in "Remy Rescue", he is too chicken to stand up to his parents, even meekly asking if he can't go to boarding school. That is until his Calling the Old Man Out moment above.

- Lonely Rich Kid: He's the only child in a family of highly wealthy parents. It doesn't stop him from hanging out with Tilly and Cricket.

- Vocal Evolution: Remy's voice is slightly deeper in the early episodes than how he sounds currently.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Remy's father is a famous football star while Remy is a creative, unatheletic kid who's also an expert gamer. "Football Camp" reveals that Remy has always felt self-conscious about that difference between them - since he knew Russell was hoping his son would follow in his footsteps - and the whole plot of that adventure revolves around Remy trying to gain his dad's pride and approval, before both of them agree that Remy is just fine the way he is at the episode's end.
- Worth It: He has horrible dog allergies, but he seemed fine suffering through them if it meant getting to pet dogs in "Tilly's Goat".

Voiced by: Anna Akana
A former cafe girl who used to work at Big Coffee next door to The Greens' house. A bit grumpy and ill-tempered, she becomes friends and co-workers with Cricket.

As a result, she is now considered an honorary Green.- All Asians Know Martial Arts: She is Asian, and is well-versed in Tae Kwon Do.

They try to cheer her up after she loses her job after "Chipocalypse Now" and motivate her to ask Kevin out in "Big Resolution". In addition, she becomes more playful as shown in "The Room" where she and Alice used both Cricket and Tilly as competitors for their own room after the TV cable went out. After losing her job, she eventually gets her own cafe with help from Alice and sees the Greens as a second family to her.
- Cool Big Sis: Show shades of these for Cricket and Tilly.
- Cope by Creating: "Paint Misbehavin'" reveals that Gloria copes with her sadness and extreme stress by painting and is happy to explain how she felt when she painted each work as well as what she was coping with at the time. Unfortunately, she's a Butt Monkey and nobody sees any beauty in her paintings until Cricket adds crude drawings of common objects to the canvases. The very fact that her paintings got no attention without the help of a small annoying child does not escape her notice.
- Costume Evolution: As of "Gloria's Café", she switched her pink top and purple pants with a two-tone orange top and brown pants, and has traded her ponytail for a messy bun.

- A Day in the Limelight: She gets a major role in "Critterball Crisis", "Paint Misbehavin'", "Parade Day", "Coffee Quest", "Elevator Action", "Flimflammed", "Rent Control", "Big Resolution", "The Room" and "Gloria's Cafe".

- Like a Son to Me: The Green family consider her to be practically a part of the family to the point that when she loses both of her jobs because of them and cannot pay for rent, she decides to move in with them in "Chipocalypse Now" and they allow her to do so. Alice even buys the empty space that used to be Big Coffee, so that Gloria can have her own cafe.
- Like Brother and Sister: Her and Cricket's Relationship has evolved into this.
- New Job as the Plot Demands: From "Chipocalypse Now" until "Gloria's Cafe", Gloria was left jobless and had to work in different jobs. Justified because she wants to maintain herself and wants to go Paris one day.
- Nightmare Face: She can do a really good one in "Flimflammed" that scared Cricket a lot, when he scammed her.
- Non-Protagonist Resolver: She ends up saving the Greens' stand in "Sellouts" thanks to her social media idea.
- Not So Above It All: While she reprimands Cricket for causing trouble for her cafe, she was more than willing to further escalate their conflict in "Critterball Crisis" when he accidentally destroys her miniature Eiffel Tower replica.

- Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: In "Coffee Quest" when she rejects Chip's deal.Gloria: Sorry, Chip! I'm no city girl, I'M FROM THE SUBURBS!
- Promotion to Opening Titles: Though she always appeared in the opening, starting in season 4 (like Vasquez above) she now gets her own portrait that she shares with Alice.
- Purple Is Powerful: Mundane example. Her skin is light purple and she's well trained in Tae-Kwon Do. She's also a purple belt.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The responsible, calm, cynical, down-to-earth blue to Cricket's energetic, mischevious, irresponsible, idealistic red. Even Gloria's skin color is a "cold color" and Cricket's skin color is a "warm color".
- She Cleans Up Nicely: In "Paint Misbehavin'", she dresses up to attend Cricket's gallery opening, and doesn't look half bad.
- Sitcom Archnemesis: Initially, She hated having to work next to the Green house, as well as having Cricket as a co-worker. Fortunately devolved into Vitriolic Best Buds.
- Sour Outside, Sad Inside: On the outside, Gloria is a cynical, bitter, sarcastic, and grouchy girl. On the inside, she suffers from pretty deep-seated self esteem issues, mostly because she has to work as a barista while the rest of her family is much more accomplished than her.
- This Means War!: Willingly pops most of Cricket's critterballs in retaliation for breaking her Eiffel Tower replica.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: She has her happy ending in the second season finale where she opens up her own cafe.
- Unlimited Wardrobe: Wears a variety of casual clothes throughout Season 2, especially after moving in with the Greens.
- Unstoppable Rage: If you ever push one of her berserk buttons prepare for a very angry Gloria to get back at you.
- Virtuous Character Copy: Of Squidward Tentacles. They’re both older friends and co-workers to a hyperactive protagonist, and finds them to be annoying. They consider themselves failures who work at dead-end jobs, but have a passion for fine-arts, such as painting. The main difference between them is Squidward is in a constant state of bitter misery, and never accepts SpongeBob's friendship, Gloria becomes a happier person overtime, and begins to see Cricket as a true friend.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: She slowly develops this dynamic with Cricket. While they disagree and argue a lot depending on the situation, they have each others' backs, and work well together when needed.
- Vocal Evolution: Her voice becomes deeper and more attentive in later episodes.
- When She Smiles: She doesn't smile that often, but when she does, it's a genuinely heartwarming sight. She evolves out of this after moving in with the Greens.
Mr. and Mrs. Sato
Mr. Sato's on the left, Mrs. Sato's on the right.
Voiced by: Amy Hill (Mrs. Sato), Keone Young (Mr. Sato)
Gloria's parents.- Good Parents: They do put a lot of pressure on Gloria, however this is because they have no idea of her miserable situation. When Gloria reveals she is failing at her goals, they aren't at all upset over her lies and immediately comfort her.
- No Name Given: Neither of them have a known first name.
- Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Mrs. Sato has bright pink skin whereas Mr. Sato has blue skin.

Authority
Officer Keys
"Well, sure, but everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes, you gotta cut people some slack."
Voiced by: Andy Daly, Jason Maybaum (young self in "Green's Acres")
A police officer in Big City who doesn't seem to take his job seriously.- A Day in the Limelight: He receives one in "Green Streets", where he has a main role in the episode.
- All-Loving Hero: He never has a bad opinion about anyone, not even guys like Chip Whistler.
- Art Evolution: In the earliest episodes, his face was more angular. In his latest appearances his face is now more rounded.
- Badass Normal: Like many of the main characters in the show. Officer Keys is strong enough to give fight to tough people. Justified because he's a police officer.
- Berserk Button: Attacking him is not a good idea, you really don't want to see him angry as Gramma Alice found it the hard way in "Sellouts".
- Beware of the Nice Ones: Officer Keys is a nice guy, who is very weird and commonly a goofball. But don't think just because that's his personality doesn't make it less competent, like "Reckoning Ball", "Heat Beaters" or "Chipocalypse Now" shows us to give an example. And there's his "serious side".
- Big Damn Heroes:
- In "Reckoning Ball", he comes out of nowhere to protect the Greens when Chip threatens them with a wrecking ball.
- In "Heat Beaters", he takes Cricket and Remy home before they die from a heatstroke.
- In "Chipocalypse Now", he decides to free Nancy and take her to the Mayor's house so they can save the Green's house, before it's too late.
- Blue Is Heroic: His outfit is mainly blue and is a good guy for the most part.
- Changed My Mind, Kid: Keys decides to help Nancy to save the Green's house when he sees Chip threatening the Greens in TV.
- Butt-Monkey: Downplayed. He at times is victim of slapstick, but compared to other characters the damage he receives is tame in comparison and less often.
- In "Gramma's Licence", Gramma Alice crashes againist his police car and runs over his leg.
- In "Park Pandemonium" he crashes againist a crack in the sidewalk while skating.
- In "Wishing Well", the fountain explodes on him and he's sent flying to a tree.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: To put it simply; he's a total space case.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He has a "serious side" that makes him a dangerous and merciless cop. Ignoring this side of him, even in "nice mode" he's a competent cop and is still helpful.
- The Cutie: A weird example where an adult is one, but the traits are there. He's very innocent, he's very nice and very excitable. Did you even knew he named his badge "Mr. Shine-Shine"?
- Determinator: If he catches you doing a crime or has the slightest suspect that you're doing something shady, he won't stop until you're in jail.
- The Dreaded: Only if you're doing something wrong or get involved in a crime... like in "Uncaged", "The Van" or "Gloria's Café".
- Dumbass Has a Point: While he's not the brightest bulb in the series, he's right in calling out Alice for harrasing people in the Farmer's Market, also telling her that attacking a police officer is a crime.Alice: Stay out of this Keys! It ain't illegal to sell tomatoes.Officer Keys: Well no, but it is illegal to harass all of these people.
- Good is Not Nice: His "serious mode" is this in spades! He really hates that "mode".Officer Keys: Oh, thank goodness! Being tough is so exhausting! Can you imagine if I had to be like that all the time?!
- Good Is Not Soft: Officer Keys is a nice guy, but don't expect he go easy on you if he catches you doing something that is bad. Examples include:
- Upon learning that was Cricket the one that littered the street in "Green Streets", he forces him to clean the street as a punishment.
- In "Sellouts", he calls out Alice for harassing everybody in the Farmer's Market, when she kicks him, Officer Keys tells her that attacking an officer is a serious crime in a dry tone and arrests her.
- Everybody Has Standards:
- In "Uncaged", Nancy uses this againist him to escape. She yells that is in the shower, causing Officer Keys to blush, feel uncomfortable and decides to wait outside.
- In "Green Streets", whenever Cricket rudely interrogates the people to look for the "litterbug", Officer Keys apologizes for Cricket's actions.
- In "Reckoning Ball", when he sees that Chip about to destroy the house of the Greens with a wrecking ball, that will kill them in the process, he says that murder is illegal and stops him. Yet he fails in arrest him. He and the Green family also close their eyes and have a painful look when the wrecking ball fails and hits Chip instead.
- In "Chipocalypse Now", he's among the people who finds unfair that Chip wants to destroy the Greens' House and frees and helps Nancy to look for the mayor to stop Chip.
- In "Sellouts", he calls out Alice for harassing everyone in the Farmer's Market.
- Extreme Omnivore: Played for laughs in "Green Streets" when he eats a cup of coffe.
- Friend to All Children: If his interactions with Cricket and Tilly are something to go by. This also includes the occasional interactions with Benny, Andromeda and Remy.
- Hero Antagonist: Whenever Cricket is doing a mischief, for example: "Green Streets", "Uncaged" or "Wishing Well". He also becomes temporary on this in "Chipocalypse Now", when Chip tricks him. He also becomes one in "Gloria's Café".
- Hidden Depths: As much of a goofball he is, he's surprisingly very clever. In "Gloria's Café", he disguises as a hipster so he could enter to her coffee and learn whats happening.
- Intergenerational Friendship / Odd Friendship: He really enjoys the company of Cricket and Tilly, at the point he openly refer them as his favorite people to police (Being his police partners). He also considers Nancy as a friend despite her rebellious nature.
- Keet: He's very excitable and easy to impress.
- Lantern Jaw of Justice: Just look at the picture, he has a prominent square chin (that was more angular in his early appearances) and he has police officer, he's a nice guy and despite his flaws, he genuenely wants that Big City be a good place.
- Let's Get Dangerous!: He has his moments when he turns like this, even in "Nice Mode".
- Invoked in "Green Streets", as Cricket wanted him to become less lenient with whoever was the "litterbug", when this happens his personality changes from his nice self to a merciless self.
- Locked Out of the Loop: Whenever the Greens are doing something wrong or a crime, (see Hero Antagonist, The Dreaded and Determinator above) they'll try their best to keep Officer Keys away from learning about it. It usually fails and he discovers about it anyway, leading to him trying to try arrest them.
- Manchild: He has his moments.
- In "Green Streets" there's a scene where dogs are licking him and he enjoying it.
- In "Skunked" it's revelated that Keys named his badge "Mr. Shine-Shine" and is afraid to lose it.
- In "Wishing Well", he still believes in wishes and his biggest one is to fly and attempts to arrest Cricket for messing with the fountain.
- In “Cricket’s Tickets” he’s the only adult competing for the extra ticket to the Barnacle Ball.
- Major Injury Underreaction: He's very prone to suffer accidents, but tends to take them very surprisingly well.
- In "Gramma's Driver", Bash and Bella run over him with Alice's car, despite having a broken leg from the incident he took it very well and only said that it wasn't good.
- In "Sellouts", Gramma's kicks him in his foot, although he didn't reacted to the injury at all, he didn't took Alice act very well.
- Momma's Boy: Implied in "Wishing Well", when after he "flies" he says:Officer Keys: I'M DOIN' IT, MA! I'M FLYING!
- Mood-Swinger: Another of his traits. He can speak in a serious tone in one moment and in the other, his voice changes to a cheerful tone.Officer Keys: (Serious Voice) Nancy Green, you're under arrest. (Cheerful Voice) Again!
- Nice Guy: He's genuinely nice to everyone in Big City, especially the Greens.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In "Bleeped", he teaches Cricket and his friends more swears believing that they must know them, so they don't say them, it backfires and he instead taught the children more swears. Bill calls out on that before and after the incident.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Invoked. Cricket wanted him to be more merciless with horrible results. He reverts back to end of the episode, since he hates being "serious" all the time.
- The Pollyanna: Even when facing bad moments, he never has anything bad to say.
- In "Wishing Well", when the fountain explodes, he's more happy about the fact he's finally "flying".
- In "Heat Beaters", he doesn't care that his colleages left him behind to patrol Big City by himself in a heat wave.
Officer Keys: Unless, of course, you are required to patrol the streets, while your colleagues all go on a group trip to the beach! Ha-ha! How unlucky for me! - Police Are Useless: Although better than most examples.
- Zigzagged in "Impopstar", he refuses to help the Greens to find Cricket, because Zillon Brax is more important, he even lampshades the trope, saying that the police could help to find Cricket but Zillon is more important. Then when the family finds Cricket, Keys arrests Amaryllis for kidnapping "Zillon" (Cricket, actually).
- Zigzagged again in "Chipocalypse Now", Chip tricks him into arresting Nancy, then he frees her after seeing that the Green's house will be destroyed and takes her to the house of the mayor.
- Played straight later in the same episode; when Keys sees Cricket about to be killed by Chip's helicopter and later when he tries to get the whole family together, he does nothing, and vanishes for the rest of the episode. Granted, Chip would've gotten in even more trouble for attempting murder, as Keys pointed out in "Reckoning Ball" to begin with.
- Purple Is Powerful: A mundane case. His skin is purple, he's a police officer and when he's determined, he's a fairly competent cop.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Zigzagged. Despite being one of the nicest characters of the series, depending the episode, Officer Keys can be a threat to the Greens. But thankfully he's usually in their side and is always willing to listen or reason with them, despite his flaws.
- In "Gramma's Driver", he tells Alice that people do stupid things for rewards like stars, after Bash and Bella stole her car.
- In "Chipocalypse Now", after realizing that Chip tricked him, he let's Nancy escape from jail and takes her to the Mayor's Home so she can help her family to save their farm and legacy.
- Skewed Priorities:
- In "Uncaged", he spends half of the episode trying to arrest Nancy, but ignores the fact that are wild animals roaming free in the city.
- In "Wishing Well", he tries to stop Cricket from stealing the money in the fountain, because according to him, Cricket is stealing wishes.
- In "Impopstar", Cricket was kidnapped by Amaryllis, but he refuses to help the Green family, because Zillon Brax is missing and he's more important, according him.
- Split Personality: Implied. In "Green Streets", when he changes between "nice mode" and "serious mode" changes his personality at 180° and the two "modes" behave like two different personalities, according to Keys, he hates his "serious mode". If those "modes" are really personalities or Keys has something like Multiple Personality Disorder, we'll never know and it was never confirmed.
- Tranquil Fury: In "Sellouts", when Grandma Alice kicks him for "getting in her way" when attracting customers, when this happens, his voice suddenly dropped to a dry tone while telling her that kicking a police officer is a serious crime, the most jarring thing is that he keeps his happy face while saying that, before changing his voice.
- Too Dumb to Live: In "Gramma's Driver", he admits that the only reason he became a police officer is to do stupid things for stars.
Ms. Miriam Cho
Voiced by: Anna Akana (uncredited)
Cricket and Gloria's boss at the coffee shop.
- Last-Name Basis: In "Cricket's Kapowie", her first name is revealed to be Miriam by Donny Tinselton.
- Put on a Bus: She leaves town in vacation clothes after saying her first and only line in “Chipwrecked” when Chip buys Big Coffee from her. With the building now being for rent at the end of “Chipocalypse Now”, it looks like she retired and, like the business, is now gone for good.
- Perpetual Frowner: Honestly and obviously, by the looks and means of it, certainly and definitely.
- Suddenly Voiced: In "Chipwrecked", when Chip buys out Big Coffee from her, she takes off her business uniform, gets into her vacation clothes and says, "Peace out, my dudes!"
- The Unintelligible: For some reason, Mrs. Cho never says a single word, but mostly speaks in grunts. The one time that she needed to give a more detailed instruction, she had it written down on her smartphone. She speaks in "Chipwrecked" after Big Coffee is bought by Chip, likely as a final send off for her.

The eccentric CEO of Big Tech, a company in Big City that specializes in creating cutting-edge technology to improve people's lives.- Cloud Cuckoolander: She's... eccentric, to put it mildly.
- Foil: To Chip Whistler. Both Gwendolyn and Chip are the heads of major corporations in Big City who also aren't the most mentally-stable people on the show, and tend to cause problems for the Green family her their efforts to promote their business. The difference is that Chip is indisputably nasty, corrupt, and makes it his life's goal to ruin the Greens while also working to expand Wholesome Foods, landing him squarely in Hate Sink territory. On the other hand, Gwendolyn, for all her quirks, is a kindhearted woman at her core who truly wishes to improve the lives of others with her technology and only causes trouble for the Greens due to getting so wrapped up in innovating that she overlooks the potential harm her inventions could cause others, though to be fair, the Greens don't really do themselves any favors due to being Hopeless with Tech.
- Honest Corporate Executive: Unlike Chip Whistler, she has no ulterior motive for her business and seems genuinely determined to use her intellect and company to help people out with new technology.
- Loon with a Heart of Gold: Though she's got a couple of screws loose, she rarely harbors any ill will to others. Most of the trouble she tends to cause for the Greens via her tech seems more based on how said tech conflicts with their way of life instead of genuine malice on her part.
- The Mad Hatter: She freely admits that she's nuts but she doesn't seem too upset about it.
- Nice Girl: Quirkiness aside, Gwendolyn comes off as a rather cheerful and friendly lady without a mean bone in her body. In fact, her first encounter with the Green family involved her generously offering them one of her newly-developed cars in exchange for letting her take their old malfunctioning truck off their hands.
- The Wonka: As one that's head of a tech company, her futuristic products are the main break from the general realism of the show. Alluded to in "Green Mirror" where Cricket steals a golden egg from a room full of geese in BigTech before Gwendolyn takes the Greens to her mental reprogramming, cyberspace invention.
Mayor Hansock
The Mayor of Big City
Voiced by: Andy Richter
The eccentric mayor of Big City.- Narcissist: His office has several statues of him, which depict him as far more muscular than he actually is.
- Manchild: He's easily swayed by peer pressure (that is to say, public opinion) and easily frightened by sensationalist news media, outright calling himself "like a child" when one story claims children may be at risk.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Becomes one last minute after the citygoers stand up for the Greens, allowing them to stay in Big City along with cancelling the demolition, and permanently bans Chip.
- Shamed by a Mob: Just when he thinks of agreeing the house should be destroyed after Cricket loses the proof, all of the Greens' friends and neighbors show up and stand up for them, pleading to him they want the Greens to stay.
- Slave to PR: He makes decisions based solely on whether or not people will like him for making them.
- Simpleton Voice: Has a rather high voice courtesy of Andy Richter.
Jade

Children
Andromeda
"Innocent fools...they have no idea their entire world is a lie!"
Voiced by: Nicole Byer
Tilly's best friend who believes in supernatural life forms such as aliens.
- Conspiracy Theorist: She believes in all manner of supernatural things, such as thinking Officer Keys is an alien in disguise.
- Everyone Has Standards: When Tilly suggests shoplifting in "Big Trouble", Andromeda thinks this is going too far and tells Tilly she's on her own.
- Girlish Pigtails: Her usual hairstyle.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Tilly.
- Loon with a Heart of Gold: For all of paranoid eccentricities, she's just as nice as Tilly.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: In her first appearance. After writing "Andromeda" on a piece of paper, she shook her head (while saying "yes" in an exaggerated tone) when Tilly asked if that was her real name.
- Psychic Link: Tried to form this with Tilly in "Sleepover Sisters" but failed.
Gabriella Espinosa
"Whatever, trash butt's funny."
Voiced by: Jenna Ortega (S1 - "Horse Girl"); Nikki Castillo ("Long Goodbye" onward)
Cricket's equally rambunctious, mischievous girlfriend.
- Beauty Equals Goodness: Beautiful, fun, and a bit spicy, too. Just look at her image!
- Birds of a Feather: Shares Cricket's mischievous persona completely spot-on.
- Chastity Couple: She teases this trope when she tells Cricket she doesn't want to do anything rather serious at the moment when deciding to date him, such as consistent hand holding, sending each other presents and flowers, and smooching nonstop.
- Distaff Counterpart: She's almost considered enough to be a female version of Cricket, given that she's a troublemaking prankster just like him. She also hates doing chores, shares his blue choice of wardrobe, and her shoes don't match her clothes, similar to his trait of not wearing shoes at all. And given her age, she's not quite used to all that gushy-mushy stuff like him just then.
- Expy: Her overly sweet Nice Girl nature and outlook are nearly similar to Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, while her "spicy" interior at being a rambunctious troublemaker like Cricket is akin to Ivy Sundew.
- Foil: The sweet, jovial lucky girl to Gloria.
- Head-Turning Beauty: Cricket was instantly smitten the moment he first sees her.
- Hug Tropes: She and Cricket does this twice:
- After the Sue-Zers lost the game, Cricket and Gabriella did this while the team cheered. ("Bat Girl")
- After being reunited at the Farmer's Market, Gabriella hugs Cricket and says she misses him and Cricket hugs her back. ("Long Goodbye")
- Just Friends:
- In her debut, when asking Cricket to dance with her, she only just asked that and nothing else; she wasn't even romantically interested with him in the first place. Averted after she reveals her love for him in her second appearance, when they become an Official Couple.
- Played straight with Remy; after rejecting Cricket in favor of him, she just wanted to dance with him and be friends; she wasn't romantically interested with him at all.
- Kids Hate Chores: Something she shares with Cricket. She even admits she's only painting Community Sue's mural because she blabbed a rather mildly offensive word over the intercom the week before.
- Leitmotif: She gets a twinkly bell theme whenever she and Cricket have a moment with each other, sometimes blending in with the usual banjo music.
- Love at First Sight: With Cricket.
- The Moving Experience: Just as she and Cricket start to bond, she reveals to him she has to leave for Montreal the same day. He thought she was moving there and will never see her again, but to his relief, she's just there for a vacation with her family. She reveals the truth shortly after they become a couple.
- Nice Girl: Gabriella is sweet, kind, funny, and a total prankster, just like her boyfriend, Cricket.
- Official Couple: With Cricket as of "Gabriella's Fella".
- Pink Means Feminine: Her skin is deep pink.
- Puppy Love: She is only 10-13 years old, and that doesn't stop her from dating Cricket.
- Put on a Bus: Subverted. She's not moving to Montreal, she's only visiting for vacation, and returns later. To add to it, she was on a literal bus.
- Ship Tease: With Cricket in her debut. No longer true after they start dating since Season 2.
- The Gadfly: When Cricket hires her to work at the cafe, she just spends the entire time pranking people.
- Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: The huge girl to Cricket's tiny guy, bearing she's only a quarter head higher than he is, about the same height as Tilly.
- True Blue Femininity: Generally wears light blue.
- Virtuous Character Copy: Of Jessica Lovejoy. They both act as love interests to a young, troublemaking lead character, and like to cause mischief alongside them. However, Jessica is even more mischievous than Bart, and is willing to cross lines that even he wouldn't, such as pulling a fire alarm and pinning it on Bart. Gabriella isn't like that, as she is about as moral as Cricket, and they seem to have a genuine bond with each other.

Voiced by: Luke Lowe
A little boy who's friends with Cricket.- The Baby of the Bunch: He's the youngest of Cricket and Tilly's friendship circle.

- Demoted to Extra: He only appeared in one episode of Season 3 ("Little Buddy") and was strangely absent in "The Move" and "Long Goodbye".
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Gregly's obnoxious behavior and hatred of nice things caused him to turn into this, as most of the children don't want to be friends with him because of it. While Cricket and Remy offered to be friends, he turned them down because they're "not good". He ends up befriending a group of grumpy senior citizens because of how much in common he has with them.
- Large Ham: Almost everything he says is this.
- No Indoor Voice: His voice is VERY loud and blaring.
- Perpetual Frowner: He doesn't smile much.

Voiced by: Maurice LaMarche
The Greens' grumpy next-door neighbor who has a rivalry with Gramma Alice.- Big Damn Heroes: In "Chipocalypse Now", he was among the people who came to save the house of the Greens from Chip Whistler.
- Child Hater: He doesn't like children and gone through lengths to make sure Anoush and Tilly didn't reunite. He eventually warmed up to Tilly, but only to her.
- Expy: He resembles Gomez a lot, although he's not friendly and upbeat like him.
- Everybody Has Standards: As much of a jerk he is, he was horrifyed when Chip attempted to murder Cricket and later the whole Green family during his Villainous Breakdown.
- Dark Is Not Evil: More like "Dark Is Not A Jerk". He has an scary appearance and is a jerk, but he's a good person underneath and even helped the Greens to save their home from Chip Whistler.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a jerk and is unfriendly, but he really loves his cat Anoush and eventually warmed up to Tilly. In "Chipocalypse Now", he was among the people who defended the Greens from Chip Whistler.
- Kind Hearted Cat Lover: Downplayed; he's by no means a friendly guy, but he ultimately allows Tilly to spend time with his cat Anoush when he sees how much Anoush cares for her.
- Morality Pet: Anoush is a literal example and later Tilly.

Alexander and Terry
Voiced by: John Early (Alexander)
Alexander (left) and Terry (right)
Two guys who are never seen apart.- All There in the Script: Alexander's name is not said in the series, only in the credits.
- It's not until "Spaghetti Theory", in which it's revelated that his name is actually Alexander and is refered as such for the first time in the show.
- Ambiguously Gay: Their appearances all but state they're a gay couple.
- Hidden Depths: "Spaghetti Theory" reveals Alexander is into cooking.
- Masculine–Feminine Gay Couple: Downplayed, it's not a large contrast, but Alexander is slightly more Camp Gay and Terry is Straight Gay.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Alexander is the loud and motormouthed red oni, while Terry is the quiet and collected blue oni. Alexander even wears an orange shirt while Terry wears a blue hoodie; ironically, Alexander is blue while Terry is purple.
- Silent Partner: Terry is this to Alexander.
- The Stoic: Terry hardly ever speaks and his actions are more on the subtle side. Fortunately, his partner is more than able to make up for him.
- Straight Gay: The two live in the same apartment. Terry doesn't show stereotypical traits featured with gay men (granted he doesn't show many traits at all) but Alexander is shown to have a rather effeminate voice.
- Suddenly Speaking: When sticking up for the Green family in "Chipocalypse Now", Terry speaks for the first time as he is actually seen shouting "We want the Greens to stay!" with the other citygoers.

Voiced by: Ed Begley Jr.
The former CEO of Wholesome Foods, and Chip's father.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Is completely absent throughout "Chipocalypse Now", with no mention if he ever found out the truth his son is still evil and defied him.
- Cool Old Guy: To the point of being the complete opposite of his son.
- Like Father, Unlike Son: A humble Self-Made Man and overall Nice Guy, the complete opposite of his arrogant, spoiled and generally unpleasant son.
- Locked Out of the Loop: He's pretty much the only one in Big City who's still unaware his son is still evil.
- Missing Mom: His wife is never seen nor mentioned, aside from a brief snarky comment by Cricket in "Feud Fight". According to Word of God, his wife is dead.
- Ordered Apology: He has Forgiveness Contracts regularly printed out. Downplayed in that it seems they are just proof of forgiveness rather than forced.
- Parents as People: He tries to see the good in Chip, but when it becomes clear that his behavior is ruining Wholesome Foods' image and costing them profits, as well as continuing a needless one-sided feud, he's not hesitant to fire him. Then he gives Chip a second chance to make amends with the Greens. Unfortunately, what he doesn't know is that Chip used the Greens' forgiveness to become CEO so he can have the power and resources to run them out of Big City. It's only a matter of time before he finds out what his son has done.
- Self-Made Man: He started out as a humble farmer before founding Wholesome Foods.

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