    Heidi Weinerman 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_6682.jpeg

Voiced by: Cassie Scerbo

Heidi is Howard's older sister. She's tall, beautiful, popular, and on the cutting edge of pretty much everything. She is the hostess of Norrisville High's #1 me-cast: Heidi@School.


  • Accidental Misnaming: She constantly gets Randy's name wrong despite knowing him for years, much to his annoyance. Among the names she's called him is "Andy", "Dandy", "Landy", "Mandy", "Sandy", and "Rudy". Even Theresa, in stanked mode, tries to correct her. She does get his name right on one occasion, together with his surname... only to flub them both by the end of the episode.
  • Aloof Big Sister: To Howard.
  • Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Certain episodes show Heidi wearing outfits that reveal her midriff, such as her rock, hip-hop, and dance outfits.
  • Betty and Veronica: Veronica to Randy's Archie and Theresa's Betty. While Randy doesn't seem to have any actual feelings for Heidi as he has for Theresa, it's implied that he finds her attractive at least, maybe even more than Theresa. Heidi and Theresa contrast with each other in both their attitudes toward Randy (Heidi disregards Randy while Theresa almost immediately notices him) and their school social statuses (Heidi is a popular girl while Theresa is an unpopular one).
  • Blog: Her web show Heidi@School.
  • Extracurricular Enthusiast: Oh yes.
  • Fiery Redhead: She's normally nice, but make no mistake, she has a temper.
  • Genki Girl: Downplayed. She's not hyperactive, but she's very active in the school and is always confident.
  • Go-Getter Girl: She's very popular among the other students and even stars in the official-school broadcast.
  • Hell Hound: She along with Flute Girl and Morgan, turned into these when the Sorceress stanked her.
  • I Am Not My Father: Her phobia as revealed in McFear Factor. She fears of being just as fat and slow like her mother.
  • Mythology Gag: Randy's comment about her looking "spicy" sometimes is a reference to how she was originally his love interest in the initial series pilot.
  • Pungeon Mistress: Expect her to spit a pun every five seconds when reporting for her web show or when hosting a public event. For instance, when she reports about CluckFest (a chicken-themed festival) in McFear Factor...
    Heidi: Cock a doodle hey! It's your main chick, H-Wow! The 43rd annual CluckFest is flapping our way this weekend!

    Bucky Hensletter 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bucky_in_band_uniform.jpg
Voiced by: Scott Menville

The dorkiest kid in school and a triangle-playing band geek. Bucky is a teacher's pet in Science Class and a showoff in the Band. The first victim of The Sorcerer's "stanking" that Randy fought as the Ninja.


    Bashford "Bash" Johnson 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bashford_johnson_pls.png
Voiced by: Dave Wittenberg

He is McFist's stepson, Norrisville High quarterback, and notorious jerk, but what he lacks in intelligence he makes up for in fists.


  • Accidental Hero: He de-stanked one of his fellow students when he broke said student's musical instrument but he only broke it because he didn't like its shape.
  • Book Dumb: Thinks C is a number.note  He also doesn't have a very good vocabulary, often resorting to Buffy Speak to describe even the most mundane of objects, like calling cookies "eating circles".
  • The Brute: He's a big guy and incredibly strong.
  • The Bully: He picks on everyone at Norrisville High.
  • Dumb Jock: He is extremely unintelligent and easily tricked, as Randy was able to avoid getting beaten up by him and his posse by yelling about "that guy" being nearby, causing him to chase after said person, even though "that guy" didn't exist, and was just something Randy made up.
  • Enemy Mine: He'll work together with the other students if it's absolutely necessary.
  • Expy: His name and role bring to mind Eugene "Flash" Thompson from Spider-Man. Which is fitting as the series takes inspiration from said comic book character.
  • Jerk Jock: Reviled by most of the student body apart from his small group of friends. However, every kid does like his parties though. It helps being the stepson of the local MegaCorp's CEO.
  • Karma Houdini: Of his pranks and bullying, several times. Thankfully, this has been subverted somewhat in more recent episodes.
  • Killer Gorilla: His stanked form, fitting his rather brutish and dumb personality.
  • Laughably Evil: He might be an unrepentant bully and a deeply unpleasant teen, but his abysmal intelligence makes him one of the funniest characters in the show, as he inevitably ends up saying many amusing things stemming from his complete and utter lack of both intelligence and knowledge, as he has one point referred to cookies as "eating circles" due to not even knowing what they're called.
  • Plagiarism in Fiction: He entered one of Viceroy's inventions as his own at the Science fair.
  • Pet the Dog: Despite being a complete jerk, he's a huge fan of the Ninja and is always cheering him on.
  • Popular Is Dumb: He's forced others to respect him through bullying (and also because he's McFist's stepson), and he's very moronic.
  • Too Dumb to Live: His idiocy is so extreme one would question exactly how he even made it past kindergarten.

    Debbie Kang 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/debby300px_7315.png
Voiced by: Piper Curda

Super short, super smart, and super sarcastic. Don't let her size fool ya; this girl will rip you to shreds. She likes Mexican Death Bears and is friends with Theresa.


  • Asian and Nerdy: We don't really know how she does in other school subjects, but she's really good at Spanish.
  • Cuteness Proximity: Whenever she sees a Mexican Death Bear. Well, it's cute to her, anyway.
  • Deadpan Snarker: She has a sarcastic sense of humor at times.
  • Demoted to Extra: She was portrayed as Theresa's best friend in the early episodes of the show, but she eventually becomes a background character as the first season goes on. She's since had an episode to herself in the second season that ends with her determined to discover the Ninja's secret identity.
  • Fangirl: Of the Mexican Death Bear, which she finds REALLY cute.
  • Full-Name Basis: Always referred to by her whole name...
  • In-Series Nickname: ...Except when being referred to by nicknames such as "Scoops" Kang and Debbie "Dominator" Kang.
  • Ink-Suit Actor: Her resemblance to her voice actress is quite strong.
  • Intrepid Reporter: Not that most of the other characters appreciate it, as she tends to get fun but dangerous or stupid ideas banned. And Randy will probably appreciate it even less now that she's trying to uncover the Ninja's identity.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: In "Debbie Meddle". She figures out Randy is the Ninja and plans to expose him just to get into a better school in Flackville. When he warns her that exposing his identity would endanger everyone (including her), she doesn't listen and exposes Randy anyway. Thankfully, Randy and Howard manage to convince everyone that Randy isn't the Ninja and Randy uses the Nomicon to mind wipe Debbie after she's proven herself not Secret-Keeper worthy.
  • Red Herring: In "Let Them Eat Cake Fries", the clues suggested that Debbie Kang was Le Beret, but it turned out to be Howard.
  • Rodents of Unusual Size: When she gets stanked.
  • School Newspaper Newshound: Her new role in season 2. It's mentioned that she's the youngest editor in school.
  • Shorter Means Smarter: Despite being Randy's age, she is significantly shorter than any other member of the cast, and she's arguably the smartest person in the school.
  • Smart People Play Chess: Isn't captain of the Norrisvile Chess Club for nothing.
  • The Smart Girl: She's one of the smartest students in the school.
  • Those Two Girls: With Theresa.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Although a bit smug before, she really goes too far with her intrepid reporting in "Debbie Meddle", where she becomes obsessed with revealing Randy's secret identity, despite his warnings that doing so would put his and others' lives in danger, including her. Instead of becoming his new Secret-Keeper alongside Howard, she tries to expose his identity anyway, completely disregarding everyone's safety, including her own, for the sake of her journalism and a better school in Flackville, which is implied to be Norrisville's bitter rival. Randy promptly mind-wipes her as she's proven herself unreliable.

    Theresa Fowler 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/theresa300px_8852.png
Voiced by: Sarah Hyland

A cute, strange girl with a sweet voice and a couple of screws loose. She's a member of N.H.S.'s Baton Twirlin' Team, the Chess Team, AND Der Monster Klüb. She likes to twirl batons, is friends with Debbie, and (probably) has a crush on Randy.


  • Battle Baton: She uses her twirling batons as spinning weapons in her stanked monster form.
  • Betty and Veronica: Betty to Randy's Archie and Heidi's Veronica. While Randy doesn't seem to have any actual feelings for Heidi as he has for Theresa, it's implied that he finds her attractive at least, maybe even more than Theresa. Heidi and Theresa contrast with each other in both their attitudes toward Randy (Heidi disregards Randy while Theresa almost immediately notices him) and their school social statuses (Heidi is a popular girl while Theresa is an unpopular one).
  • Expy:
  • Dark Secret: It had something to do with tasting something.
  • Deadpan Snarker: On occasion, usually when she sees someone doing something stupid.
  • Drowning My Sorrows: In Shloomp! There It Is, when "Nomi-Randy" ignores her and flirts with Heidi, she gets upset and drowns her sorrows by drinking milk.
  • Grievous Harm with a Body: Lacking her twirling sticks, her stanked form will begin twirling and hurling people instead.
  • Meaningful Name: Her name is a mondegreen of "There is a flower" and her stanked form looks similar to a plant.
  • Murder the Hypotenuse: After getting stanked in Shloomp! There It Is due to heartbreak (see the Ship Tease example below), her monster self tries to kill Heidi.
  • Nerves of Steel: She was able to keep her cool in Night of the Living McFizzles. Compare Howard's dramatics over losing his candy during the zombie invasion to Theresa calmly giving him half her McFizzles so he would stop crying.
  • Nice Girl: She's kind, friendly and compassionate.
  • Plant Person: Her stanked form.
  • Ship Tease: With Randy in Night of the Living McFizzies and Der Monster Klub.
    • It is more cemented that she likes Randy in Shloomp! There It Is when the reason she got stanked in that episode was that she was heartbroken and crying when "Randy"note  ignores her and flirts with Heidi Weinerman. She got destanked when Randy gave her a bouquet of flowers and apologized.
  • Signature Scent: In The Ninja Identity Randy describes her as smelling "like rainbows", but it's anyone's guess what that's supposed to mean.
  • Those Two Girls: With Debbie Kang. They're even on the same chess team.
  • Yandere: Her stanked form in Shloomp! There It Is. See Murder the Hypotenuse.

Voiced by: Carlos Alazraqui

An accordion player and member of Der Monster Klüb as well as the Stache Society.


  • Accordion Man: His stanked monster form has accordions for arms and ends up playing Bash like an accordion as revenge for doing it to him.

  • The Casanova: If all the band pins the girls have are any indicator.
  • Cool Shades: Often wears sunglasses.
  • Fusion Dance: With Flute Girl in Randy Cunningham and the Sorcerer's Key by the Sorcerer's special stank.
  • Jerkass: Played for Laughs. He's not a very nice kid, as he likes to make fun of people by playing the Sad Trombone at people whenever something unfortunate or embarrassing happens to them.
  • Silent Snarker: His personal running gag is to play the Sad Trombone whenever something unfortunate happens to somebody.
  • Sad Trombone: Practically enforces this trope to his poor classmates, his trombone at the ready whenever something bad is about to happen to somebody.
  • The Voiceless: Has not even one spoken line, the only sound that comes out of him is his trombone.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: His phobia as revealed in McFear Factor are monkeys.

A flute player in the Norrisville High Band.


  • Butt-Monkey: Not to Bucky's extent, but she's the only character on the show to have been stanked THREE different ways.

    Morgan 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/morgan_is_not_amused.png
Voiced by: Kari Wahlgren

The leader of "Dancing Fish", Morgan is a dancer with a sassy attitude and a smug voice.


  • Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Always wears a crop-top that leaves her stomach completely bare. Even her referee outfit exposes her midriff.
  • Deadpan Snarker: This is basically the way she acts all the time, she rarely even expresses any emotion besides disdain.

Voiced by: Laura Marano

A clarinet player in the Norrisville High Band.


  • Ascended Extra: A background character who was chosen to be developed, seemingly at random.
  • Break the Cutie: Randy takes advantage of her kindness and selflessness in NinjaFan, luckily he realizes this...after she breaks down crying and gets stanked.
  • Cat Girl: Her Stanked form, and overall aesthetic is that of a kitten.
  • Deadpan Snarker: When suitably miffed.
  • Fangirl: Is one for the Ninja, she feels he is a great hero who is overworked and underappreciated. However after Randy takes advantage of her kindness...see Break the Cutie.
  • Friendly Sniper: Sniped the Halloweenja off of Randy with a bubble gun during "Let the Wonk One In".
  • Hidden Depths: A really good singer.
  • Moe: In-Universe, she is sickeningly sweet to everyone, well sickeningly to Howard anyway, and tries always to go for a cute look, even her stanked form is more cute, a giant pink and tan kitten, then monstrous.
  • Nerves of Steel: Gradually grows less scared of Flute Girl as she tries to murder her and all but leapt at the chance to help Randy and Howard deal with the Halloweenja.
  • Nice Girl: She's nice to everyone, even monsters.
  • Pink Means Feminine: Commonly wears and owns a lot of things that are pink, going with her overall cuteness.

    Levander Hart 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_ncsq82y8cs1sba3qbo1_1280.png

Voiced by: Danny Pudi

The Pete Best of 30 Seconds to Math, originally brought on for his access to fantastic sound equipment, but subsequently fired for his abysmal musical ability. He has since become an incredibly famous rock star, having apparently honed his guitar skills since he was kicked out of Randy and Howard's band. This is actually due to the Sorcerer using Blue Stank to magically empower him so he could grow in popularity and eventually return to Norrisville to create mass chaos in full-house concert.


  • Cool Shades: Gains a pair when stanked.
  • Fake Brit: In-Universe; apparently "it happens when you get famous".
  • Foreshadowing: Howard says that Levander wouldn't have become a rock star if it weren't for him and Randy. He's right, but not just because they booted him out of 30 Seconds to Math since he and Randy helping the First Ninja defeat the Sorcerer in the 13th Century made it possible for the villain to bewitch Levander in the first place.
  • Instrument of Murder: Uses his guitar to provide Shock and Awe when stanked.
  • Lightning/Fire Juxtaposition: When his Stanked form and the Ninja come to blows, Randy boosts himself with the fire power of the Tengu to beat him.
  • Musical Assassin: When stanked, his guitar skills get an upgrade and he also uses them for combat as well.
  • Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Talks in his real American accent whenever he gets mad.
  • Shock and Awe: Becomes a lightning monster when stanked.
  • The Pete Best: In-Universe, though in his case he went on to be better known than the band that kicked him out.
