General

Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Alex is more demure and enjoys things like crafting vision boards, scented candles and easy listening music, while seeking a relationship with a single partner and wears casual clothing in a light color palette. Daisy is more abrasive, is into casual sex and serial dating, getting high, partying and wears darker clothing. Alex's costume has a light palette with tasseled epaulets and her weapon is an innocuous looking yoyo. Daisy's costume has a darker palette with spiked pauldrons and her weapon is a mace.

Alex

Ambiguously Bi: Alex has a crush on Coffee Dude, but agrees in the last episode that Verus's snakelike form is hot.
Big Fun: She is plus size and good natured.
Black and Nerdy: She's black and is smarter than her roommate & friend Daisy.
Grappling-Hook Pistol: When she calls "Birth Control: IU-Deploy!" she shoots a giant IUD device on a line out of her birth control container to use as a grappling hook.
Killer Yoyo: Her birth control container turns into a yoyo when she powers up.
No Periods, Period: Averted. Alex uses her period blood as a weapon in episode 3.

Daisy

Voiced by Anna Akana

Asian Airhead: Daisy is Asian-American and the dumber of the two protagonists.
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Has a rather short attention span.
Boyish Short Hair: Has short reddish-purple tresses.
Butch Lesbian: Daisy is a lesbian who dresses in masculine clothing, and she has a tomboyish personality.
Freudian Excuse: Has a rebellious, hedonistic attitude due to her parents raising her in an ultra-strict, oppressive cult built around a dogma of suffering and self-flagellation.
Hidden Depths: Is apparently a talented artist as was showcased in episode three.
Really Gets Around: Has a long string of exes, most of whom are still into her.
Savage Spiked Weapons: Her Bong Selleck transforms into a mace when she powers up.
The Stoner: So much so that she chose her bong as her transformation trinket.

Nut

Animal Companion: Serves as this due to limited access to her powers and so, appears as a Red Panda.
Emo Teen: She had an angsty blog page and everything; the world she made in this phase takes wholly after it.
Expy: Of Sailor Moon's Luna. Both are talking animals with symbols on their foreheads who advise the magical girl protagonists.
The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Her older sister Gloriana made a copycat version of Earth that's much more idyllic, because she didn't give her creations free will. She has a haughty, adversarial relationship with Nut.
God Is Flawed: Nut is shown not to be as glorious nor as wise a being as a god would suggest to most. The two worlds she's shown to have created, ("Nut's World" and Earth) are shown to be of substandard quality. The former was made when she was an emo teen and was informed by all the horny, edgy baggage of that phase. The latter has villainous conspiracies to control the world using monsters and exploitative corporate practices that feed off people's minds and body.
Mentor Mascot: Serves as this to Alex and Daisy.
Unfortunate Names: Defied as she initially chose the name Isis, after the Egyptian goddess, which gets immediately shot down by Alex and Daisy because of the negative connotations it has due to terrorist group ISIS. Afterwards she chooses Nut, the mother of Isis.

Corvin

Voiced by Matteo Lane

Ambiguously Bi: He's quite effeminate and flirts with Coffee Dude in episode 6, but also seems to be attracted to Verus.
Heel–Face Revolving Door: In episode 6, he keeps flipping between Verus and the girls in an attempt to get in either side's good graces. Both just think he's annoying, though he appears to have sided with the heroes in the end.
Jerkass: Treats retail staff poorly, as shown in the second episode.
Laughably Evil: Though he is amusing in his attempts at evil.
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Joins the heroes after Verus fires him...until he tries to rejoin her anyway. When he realizes she has no intention of sparing him when she destroys the world, he rejoins the heroes again, and it seems to stick for real.
Non-Action Big Bad: He doesn't fight on his own. It's his schemes that pose a threat. Even when he corners Alex, who is for all he knows just a normal human, he sics his monsters on her rather than do anything himself.
Sissy Villain: He is clearly evil and Camp Gay at the same time.
White Hair, Black Heart: He is white haired and an aide of Verus's. Then again, it is implied he reformed.

Coffee Dude

Ambiguously Bi: He's gone on two dates with Alex, but seemed quite receptive when Corvin cuddled up to him and flirted with him in episode 6.
Ambiguously Brown: Has a light brown skin tone. He's voiced by the Filipino Manny Jacinto.
Known Only by Their Nickname: Alex doesn't actually know his name, despite going on two dates with him.
Love Interest: Alex has a crush on him, and they've been on two dates by episode 6.
Nice Guy: He's a pretty decent guy to be around at least.
No Name Given: Hence him being called "Coffee Dude" here.

Daisy's Ex-Girlfriend

All Love Is Unrequited: Daisy unfortunately doesn't reciprocate her feelings.
Everyone Calls Her "Barkeep": We don't know her real name. She's just called "Daisy's Ex-Girlfriend".
Shout-Out: Her hairstyle is a blend of Sailor Moon and Chibiusa's.
Hospital Hottie: She's an attractive nurse.
Lipstick Lesbian: She's Daisy's ex-girlfriend and is rather feminine.
Rose-Haired Sweetie: A pink haired nurse who seems to be very caring.

Verus

Big Bad: She's the main villain of season one.
Bad Boss: She's very callous in her interactions with her henchman Corvin.
Badass in a Nice Suit: She's very strong and powerful, and in her human form, she wears a well-tailored pantsuit.
Deadpan Snarker: As Alex and Daisy are bumbling idiots, she tends to snark at them. Poor Corvus is also on the receiving end of these at times.
Lizard Folk: Appears human, but transforms into a reptilian humanoid in episode six.

Statuesque Stunner: Is the tallest character in-show and is fairly good looking.
