The Heroes

    Maggie the Cat 
A cat-shaped alien who fights demons.

Tropes:

  • Absurdly Sharp Blade: Despite seemingly made of wood, Maggie's sword can behead demons that are as tall as buildings.
  • Action Girl: Maggie is a girl and actively hunts demons.
  • Always Save the Girl: Averted. It seems that Maggie's girlfriend, Margot, was taken by Bloody Mary during the initial attack on their home planet.
  • Author Avatar: Both Maggie and Toby are based off the real-life author; Tony and his cat Mae.
  • Best Friend: Maggie is Tony's best friend. The friendship appears to start with her crash-landing on Earth. The shock of the events breaks Toby out of what appears to be a depression.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin
  • Friend to All Living Things: Maggie's introduction depicts her slaying a demon and saving a small child.
  • Goggles Do Something Unusual: Maggie wears goggles on her head as part of her demon hunting gear. She can pull them over her eyes to activate their night-vision.
  • Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Maggie is most often seen wearing a shirt as a dress. This is because it's hard to find clothes for an anthropomorphic cat on Earth.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: Semi-averted. While Tony and Maggie are friends, only Tony is heterosexual. Maggie's motivation is rooted in the demons seemingly killing her girlfriend, Margot.
  • Hunter of Monsters: Maggie's M.O. is to slay demons.
  • Sole Survivor: It seems Maggie is the only one from her planet to survive the demon invasion.

    Toby 

A human who befriends Maggie after she crash lands on Earth. He opens up his home to act as her base of operations.

Tropes:

  • Author Avatar: Toby, along with Maggie, are based off the real-life author, Tony, and his cat Mae.
  • Conveniently Timed Attack from Behind: Toby is the one doing the attacking. He saves Maggie from Kuchisake-onna by doing one of these.
  • Secret-Keeper: Toby seems to be the only human who is aware of Maggie and the demons.

The Demons

    Demons in General 

The highly destructive denizens of Hell.

Tropes:

  • Arch-Enemy: While the demons are the unseen enemies of pretty much everyone, Maggie has a particular vendetta against them.
  • Ancient Evil: Being demons, they had to have been around for quite some time.
  • Animalistic Abomination: Demons vary in design, and many have animalistic features.
  • Apocalypse Cult: The goal of the demons is to destroy all life-bearing planets in an event called "The Big Crunch"
  • Our Demons Are Different: Demons in the series are based off all manner of things, mostly urban legends and cryptids.

    The Baron 

A high-ranking demon who dresses like a gentleman.

Tropes:

  • Affably Evil: The Barons plays up his introduction by jump-scaring Maggie then doing a flourish as torches light up around a giant portal.
  • The Baroness: A male example, both in status and name.
  • Glasgow Grin: The Baron lacks flesh on his cheeks, granting him a permanent full-mouth grin.

    Lillith 

A humanoid demon who ranks higher than the Baron.

Tropes:

    Kuchisake-onna 

A demon based off a Japanese urban legend.

Tropes:

  • Glasgow Grin: Like the Baron, she has one too. Unlike The Baron, Kuchisake's is due to her having Joker-style mouth scars.

    Bloody Mary 

A demon who appears in mirrors.

Tropes:

  • Hero Killer: Her only scene, so far, is with the purpose of killing Margot.
