List of all characters in Sunset Paradise.
Main Characters
Meggy Spletzer
An Inkling-turned-human originating from Inkopolis, a main character in SMG4's Mario 64 Bloopers and the protagonist of the series, she is on a vacation at Port Aurora to find what she wants to do in life after winning the Splatfest in Meggy's Destiny: An SMG4 Movie. Unfortunately for her R&R, the streets are so plagued with crime that she's forced to take up the mantle as the island's sheriff.
- Action Girl: Just like the bloopers, Meggy gets plenty of action scenes to show the most badass fighter from the SMG4 series hasn't lost her touch.
- Affectionate Nickname: "Supervisor" and "partner", courtesy of Auri.
- Badass Adorable: She's a cute, cheerful teen who knows how to kick ass and shoot stuff up, now with the added benefit of an Animesque art style.
- Battle in the Center of the Mind: Her confrontations with Shadow Meggy play out this way, set in the shallows of a dark and foggy ocean.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Thanks to the Funky Fource. Thankfully, it doesn't last long.
- Chronic Hero Syndrome: What kicks off the plot. Meggy costs herself her suitcase (and her hotel reservation) by disobeying her crab chauffer's request to look the other way when the Spud Buds were beating Auri to death and go check into her hotel, thus causing him to throw her suitcase to the ground and run, leaving it to be stolen after the battle.
- Combat Pragmatist: Much like in the Mario bloopers, she isn't above Groin Attacks and Sneak Attacks to win a fight.
- Custom Uniform of Sexy: Downplayed, but she does start wearing outfits that show her stomach and navel a little thanks to the tropical setting.
- Desperately Seeking A Purpose In Life: This is her goal in this series, having already won the final Splatfest and realizing that nothing else she's done gives her the same fulfillment.
- Experienced Protagonist: Compared to Auri, she's more familiar in terms of physical confrontation and wacky adventures. Bob basically compares the events of the pilot, which features an ice-cream themed gunfight against potato-themed gangsters that ends with her luggage stolen and she's forced to room with Auri, to an average Wednesday at home.
- Goggles Do Nothing: She's always wearing a pair of goggles, but they don't really do anything useful.
- Heroic BSoD: Undergoes one when Auri dies in front of her own eyes, allowing Benedict to take back the Pheonix Egg without trouble.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Alongside Auri, the population of Port Aurora turns against her in Episode 6, due to the manipulations of the Funky Fource.
- Hypocrite: In Episode 5, when Auri gets falsely accused of stealing from the Funky Fource, Meggy concludes that he's jealous of her being recruited to the team instead of him, and gently scolds him for acting out over things not going his way. Shadow Meggy is quick to call her out on this, saying that Meggy's only brushing him off because she'd rather not have any more interruptions to the relaxing vacation she wants.
- I Choose to Stay: Downplayed. She doesn't mean to permanently stay at Port Aurora, but after Meggy finally gets her stuff back in Episode 4, she decides to spend her vacation having adventures with Auri instead of resuming her solo plans.
- Innocently Insensitive: She gets this way towards Auri in Episode 5 when the Funky Fource make her think he's stolen from them out of jealousy so she won't believe his warnings of how evil they are. Rather than getting mad or disappointed, Meggy reacts with misplaced sympathy over what's supposedly causing him to freak out, and is confused and upset when this winds up hurting his feelings instead.
- It's All My Fault: And carrying over from the SMG4 series, we have Meggy blaming herself for Auri's death.
- More Dakka: She wins a shooting game in the pilot by shooting up all the targets with Guns Akimbo, leaving the stall in a smouldering blaze.
- Mugging the Monster: On the giving end. In the Pilot episode, a shark stole her catch. She quickly demonstrates that she hasn't lost her badassery from the SMG4 show by winning a fight with it, stringing it up by its tail, and then walking away with her catch in hand.
- My Eyes Are Up Here: Parodied in the trailer, where the camera focuses on her boots at first. Justified since the in-universe camera crew is made up of Aura Boras, who – despite being short for her age in her home series – Meggy dwarfs in height.
- Nice Girl: Aside from her temper issues, which are understandable given the number of times her vacation gets ruined, Meggy's just as kind, friendly, and willing to help those in need as always.
- Only Sane Woman: True to her home series, Meggy is just about the only person in the show who isn't a moron and/or doesn't have a strange personality quirk, and she never misses an opportunity to question the weirdness she's stumbled across, not even in the show's "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune.What goes on when they're in fear?
The town is full of full-on weirdos
A thieving cat and a gang of spuds
And a group of funky studs (Who are these people?!)
Who's gonna teach them to feel brave?
This little kid! Is Port Aurora insane?! - Rage Breaking Point: Her sole motivation in the pilot is to relax and leave her troubles behind as "Vacation Meggy", but the influx of frustration and bad luck she sustains throughout the day – from getting gypped on an ice cream cone she doesn't get to enjoy, to getting another ice cream cone splattered over her new shirt – leads her to flip out.
- Save the Villain: Attempted. Meggy warns Benedict not to try and eject out of his seat due to it being unstable. Naturally, Benedict doesn't listen.
- Say My Name: When Auri seemingly dies before her very eyes, she screams his name a total of four times.
- Series Goal: She went on vacation so she could discover what her purpose in life is. By the end, she's figured out what it is: Helping people who can't help themselves.
- Significant Wardrobe Shift: Meggy starts out in her usual Splatoon getup (a T-shirt over a long-sleeved shirt and knee-high boots), but quickly switches into a more summer-suited outfit (a midriff-baring T-shirt and sneakers) that becomes her default vacation outfit.
- Supporting Protagonist: Though Meggy is promoted as the star, the plot is mainly about her getting roped into Port Aurora's troubles when all she wants is to relax and sort out her own future. The real hero is her "sidekick" Auri, who's already trying to clean up the streets and has a personal connection to the Big Bad.
- Sweet Tooth: Meggy retains her taste for sweets that she acquired in the bloopers, demonstrated by the desperate lengths she goes to get ice cream throughout the pilot.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Instead of instant noodles, it's now ice cream.
- Trigger-Happy: Just as she is in the Mario bloopers, best shown when she goes crazy at a carnival shooting game.
- You Don't Look Like You: Like Tari before her, she looks noticeably different in her own show compared to the bloopers, having a more realistically shaped head in proportion to her body while also sporting a stylized Animesque aesthetic.
- Your Size May Vary: She's noticeably much taller and curvier here than in the Mario bloopers, despite still being "smol".
Auri Bori
The deuteragonist of the series, he is a young Aura Bora, Port Aurora's deputy, and the closest thing it has to an authority figure.
- Blue Is Heroic: A blue Aura Bora who wants to prove himself as a hero.
- Break the Cutie: He gets on the short end of this trope due to the Funky Fource brainwashing Meggy.
- The Cameo: He appears in the SMG4 10th anniversary special in a Gilligan Cut when Meggy feels like something is going on without her and later in the 2021 Christmas Special in a video call with Meggy.
- Death by Irony: Auri wanted to be like his dead grandfather, and ended up dead at the hands of Benedict (the same man who killed Aloysius Bori) in Episode 9. Benedict even lampshades this fact.
- Determinator: His efforts at upholding the law are about as ineffective as any other Aura Bora's, but he's also the only one who's willing to do anything about it, which earns him Meggy's respect.
- Disguised in Drag: In episode 4, he does this to get near to Whisk's mask in order to plant an electric bug. Whisk even questions his choice of disguise.
- Disney Death: After dying in the previous episode, Meggy uses the Phoenix Egg to revive him in the finale.
- Fire-Forged Friends: He becomes this with Meggy at the end of episode 4.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Due to him enforcing a LOT of laws via ticketing everything in the flea market, Auri doesn't have a lot of people liking him. Meggy (at first) is only working alongside Auri because the same group of criminals that he's after stole her suitcase and forced her to stay at his home until she gets it back.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Even before the manipulations of the Funky Fource, his idea of heroism and enforcing the law involves ticketing the citizens for minor things, which is why they can't stand him.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Jumps in front of a laser Benedict aimed towards Meggy in Episode 9.
- Improbable Aiming Skills: Averted most of the time, until he manages to break the capsule holding the Pheonix Egg without breaking the egg in Episode 9.
- In the Back: How he dies, courtesy of a laser fired by Benedict towards Meggy in Episode 9.
- Keet: Has the traits of a Genki Girl but is confirmed to be a guy by his voice actor.
- Kill the Cutie: The second major casualty of the series. He gets better though.
- Lawful Stupid: Being the grandson of one of the previous sheriffs, Auri is determined to defend the wimpy Aura Boras and bring justice to Port Aurora by stopping its criminal outbreak. Unfortunately, while not an idiot by any means, he takes his duties a bit too seriously and spends most of his time handing out infringement tickets for the most minor of infractions, leaving him extremely unprepared for when it comes to actually fighting crime.
- Leeroy Jenkins: Auri establishes himself as such in the trailer, charging in to face the Spud Buds in the middle of Meggy's heroic speech and nearly getting blown up for it.
- Not Quite Dead: Episode 10 reveals Auri didn't actually die, he was just stuck in Purgatory with Aloysius.
- Properly Paranoid: In Episode 4, Auri trails Whisk and subtly sabotages her getaway in the off-chance she'll try anything funny. His suspicions turn out to be on point when Whisk tries coaxing Meggy into a full-time partnership in crime after deciding she doesn't want to stop being a criminal.
- Pointless Band-Aid: He has a band-aid on his cheek that serves no real purpose.
- Punny Name: His name and species seem to be a reference to Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights).
- Smart Ball: In Episode 4, he defies his usual Leeroy Jenkinsing and uses stealth, disguises, and distractions to help Meggy and sabotage Whisk.
- Took a Level in Badass: Slowly but surely, Meggy's tutelage is turning Auri into a competent hero in his own right.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Because he doesn't see Whisk as anything but just another criminal, she aligns herself with Benedict full-time.
Antagonists
The Port Aurora Crime Syndicate
Sir Benedict Cumbersnatch
The main antagonist of the series, the infamous crime boss of Port Aurora's criminal underworld. During the last Phoenix Festival, he managed to kill the sheriff, Aloysius Bori, but not before getting cursed into an egg-shaped form that forces him to rely on the dubious help of his minions. He wants to gain the Phoenix Egg to harness its power, regain his original form, and rule Port Aurora.
- All There in the Script: Before his Given Name Reveal in episode 6, Benedict was simply credited as "Mysterious Voice".
- Archenemy: Of Auri Bori.
- Asshole Victim: He had a brutal death and got into an Ironic Hell with the sheriff he murdered 100 years ago after that.
- Bad Boss:
- He orders Duke to hit Mash and strangles Yam, telling the Spud Buds that if they fail to kill Auri, he will kill them all.
- Benedict constantly berates Whisk and shows no care for her timid nature without her mask, threatening to kill her if she doesn't fight Meggy and Auri.
- He forces the Funky Fource to work for him, saying that if they don't, he'll murder their deceased fifth member's family.
- The Goonies, who he treats the least terrible out of everyone, still aren’t safe from his abusive nature. He berates the Goonie holding his screen whenever it acts polite, and only treats the others better than everyone else because he relies on their muscle.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Despite his goofy appearance, crude facial animations, and occasional funny moments, Benedict is a powerful and murderous psychopath, and one of the most irredeemable monsters in the SMG4 universe.
- Big Bad: The main threat of the series, he's the crime boss who Port Aurora's criminals report to, and plans to use the Phoenix Festival so he can return to his original form and wreak havoc.
- Big "NEVER!": The last thing he says before he blows up, not counting his laughter.
- Diabolical Mastermind: He controls the criminal underworld of Port Aurora, and planning on taking over the island for himself.
- Didn't See That Coming: Averted when the lighthouse guard declares in Episode 7 that the real sheriff will stop him. From the response Benedict gives, he didn't expect Meggy and Auri to die from the explosion, but expects them to die trying to stop him, which he confirms in Episode 9.
- Die Laughing: He cackles maniacally before his throne blows up with him sitting in it.
- Dirty Coward: Panics and tries escaping in his drone immediately after mistaking Auri for Aloysius.
- Egg Folk: His current form is nothing but a large egg with a scribble-like face.
- Evil Cripple: He's immobile as an egg, meaning he has to rely on his Goonies.
- Faux Affably Evil: Puts on a cheerful facade while casually threatening his subordinates.
- Forced Transformation: He was cursed into the form of an egg by Aloysius Bori.
- Genius Bruiser: Was allegedly this back before he was cursed. He's still an insanely smart crime lord, capable of giving Meggy and Auri an intense fight in an incredibly powerful hovercraft.
- Hero Killer: He killed Aloysius Bori, the sheriff protecting his town. He also kills Auri in episode 9 when he aims for Meggy, though Auri gets better.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Blows himself up with his own hovercraft.
- Hypocrite: He calls Meggy and Auri "monsters" for presumably killing his Goonies with an explosion when he himself nearly got countless amounts of citizens killed and later kills Auri.
- Ironic Hell: Doesn't get much more ironic than being stuck in the same afterlife as the sheriff he not only murdered, but was the one person he ever feared.
- Insufferable Genius: He loves to brag about his intelligence whenever he gets the chance, but he is a genuinely crafty criminal mastermind who takes over Port Aurora within a day of making himself sheriff.
- Jerkass: He is not a nice person, nor does he show any remorse, and he's also extremely abusive. All of the trouble that Meggy goes through during the series can be linked back to his sheer callousness.
- Killed Off for Real: Unless someone's willing to hold on to his remains for the next 100 years, it's safe to assume that he's stuck in the "in-between" with Aloysius for a long time.
- Laughably Evil: As much as his threat to Port Aurora is taken completely seriously, he's still a goofy villain with plenty of snark to go around, not helped by how he's basically just an egg in a fez with a scribbled-on face.
- Leave No Survivors: Had he succeeded in his goal of harnessing the power of the Phoenix Egg, all of Port Aurora would've been destroyed, as it would have caused 100 years of death and ruin, leaving everyone there (including the native race, the Aura Boras) dead.
- Loophole Abuse: He learns that Only the Pure of Heart can pass through the barrier blocking the lighthouse. Benedict exploits this by using pure-hearted children to force his way through.
- The Mob Boss Is Scarier: He may be an egg, but he's an egg with a high IQ being carried about by a giant man capable of squeezing a person to death with one hand, so the Spud Buds and Whisk are understandably intimidated by him.
- Never My Fault: The lighthouse guard calls him out for using children to break through the barrier. Benedict blames it on him, since he wouldn't have had to do it if the guard had let the barrier down.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Not only did his callous murder of Auri make Meggy more pissed off at him than she already was, but after he gloats about it, he says he will be "reborn" in his original form, giving her some hope that she can revive her friend.
- Non-Action Big Bad: Downplayed. He is completely helpless as an egg with no arms or legs, relying on his minions—namely his Goonies—to carry out his evil on his behalf. In the climax, however, he has his Goonies build him a flying chair with guns that he can control, allowing him to fight back.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Unlike the other characters, his face looks like crayon graffiti and is expressed entirely through Limited Animation, never moving his lips when he speaks.
- One-Winged Angel: Defied. His Series Goal is to get his body back by hatching the Phoenix Egg and bathing in its ashes, but no such thing happens, as Meggy uses the ashes to revive Auri instead.
- Oh, Crap!: Even after he dies and is sent to Purgatory, he remains confident that he can find a way to turn things around. Then Aloysius shows up.
- Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: Before the final battle on top of the lighthouse, he says this to Meggy and Auri.Benedict: Oh, don't forget, kids... there's another thing that happened that night. I ALSO KILLED A SHERIFF!
- Punny Name: His name is a play on "Eggs Benedict" and Benedict Cumberbatch.
- Really 700 Years Old: He was alive 100 years ago during the last Phoenix Festival, long enough to personally know—and kill—Aloysius.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: The flashbacks in Episode 9 show that his original form had red eyes.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: He was cursed with the body of an egg 100 years ago by Aloysius. However, he can still talk and influence other criminals around him perfectly fine, which he uses to his own advantage in achieving his evil plan.
- Something Only They Would Say: Despite looking completely different from his true form, people who have seen him in the past can still recognize him because he still acts the same way.
- Suicide is Shameful: It is possible that he knew his drone would explode and killed himself to escape punishment.
- Tom the Dark Lord: For a crime boss who once killed the sheriff of an island town, and tried to use the Phoenix Egg to get his old body back, his name is Benedict.
- Trauma Button: For as much as he loves to gloat about killing Aloysius, it turns out he's still deathly afraid of him. Auri acting just like Aloysius causes Benedict to panic completely, and after his death he is terrified to find himself back at Aloysius' mercy.
- Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: He is a despicable crime boss, while two groups of his minions include a collection of 4 potato robbers and a bunch of strangely cute buff men.
- Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Although he is not without his funny moments, Benedict is one of the vilest villains in the SMG4 universe.
- Villainous Breakdown: Absolutely loses it when the Phoenix Egg hatches without restoring him.Benedict: You want pain? Because I've got a lot to share with you, you IDIOTIC, AGGRAVATING, MEDDLESOME, INSIGNIFICANT CHILDREN! You think you've stopped me? Nooooo! You just set back another hundred years and filled me with more murderous rage than I ever felt before!
- World's Strongest Man: He, during his Motive Rant as his Goonies are beating Auri to an inch of his life, boasts that he used to be not only an insanely smart crime boss, but he was feared for his strength, to the point that he only needed a mere demonstration of it to get fellow criminals to fall in line. This is precisely why he loathed Aloysius Bori: the cursed form he's trapped in doesn't allow him to use his full strength.
- Would Hit a Girl: No girl, be it Meggy or his own subordinate Whisk, is safer from his threats of violence than anybody else.
- Would Hurt a Child: He doesn't care about Auri and Meggy's ages (Meggy's 19, and Auri is between 10 and 14 according to Kevin and Luke). As long as they're getting in the way of his plans, they've gotta go. He also used children to break through the lighthouse's barrier.
- You Killed My Father: Auri is furious to discover he's the figure who killed his grandfather.
The Spud Buds
A gang of anthropomorphic potato bandits terrorizing Port Aurora and contributing to the crime occurring on the island.
- Childhood Friends: Episode 2 reveals they all grew up together in the same potato patch.
- Cop Killers: They've been given orders to kill Auri, even deliberately causing a ruckus at the only open ice cream parlor in town left to get his attention. If not for Meggy, they would have killed him in the pilot.
- Edible Ammunition: Mash and Duke carry revolvers that fire French fries. As revealed in Episode 2, they're absolutely harmless.
- Goldfish Poop Gang: Downplayed. They're the least imposing baddies in Port Aurora, but they still pose a threat to the much wimpier Aura Boras, and can actually give Meggy a run for her money.
- Laser-Guided Karma: They help turn Port Aurora into a full-fledged Outlaw Town, terrorizing any citizens they find. When Meggy and Auri return, they get tied up and mobbed by said citizens. After the mess is all over, they were sentenced to community service.
- Meaningful Name: Two-fold. Not only are they spuds, but the "Buds" in the name gets the point across that they're True Companions.
- Non-Humans Lack Attributes: According to Russet, they don't have any "potato sacks", explaining how Duke is able to No-Sell a Groin Attack from Meggy.
- Punny Name: All four have potato-related names: "Yam" and "Russet" come from general types of potatoes, "Mash" comes from "mashed potatoes", and "Duke" comes from the "Duke of York" cultivar.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: By the end of Episode 2, the whole gang except for Duke end up trapped inside a vacuum cleaner. They get out of it in episode 6 when their boss frees them.
- Starter Villains: The group as a whole are the very first foes Meggy faces on her vacation.
- Villainous Friendship: Crooked as they are, they're True Companions who stick together no matter what. It's for this reason that Duke refuses to betray them.
- Would Hurt a Child: Their main goal is to kill Auri on behalf of their boss Benedict.
Yam
- Improbable Weapon User: His weapon is a giant potato peeler.
- The Leader: Though he defers to Benedict, Yam calls the shots among the Spud Buds.
- Large and in Charge: Zig-Zagged since he's still rather short, but among the Spud Buds themselves, he's the tallest.
- Spikes of Villainy: Wears a spiked helmet of some kind to show he's bad news.
Mash
- Mad Bomber: He squeals with delight when given the opportunity to pelt Meggy with cherry bombs (made from real cherries).
- The Napoleon: He's the shortest of the spuds, and the most violently insane.
Duke
- Affably Evil: He's quite a polite and understandable person when not being peer-pressured.
- The Brute: He is the self-described "dumb muscle" of the group.
- Heel–Face Revolving Door: Episode 2 sees him helping Meggy and Auri get the former's luggage back from the Spud Buds after they appeal to his desire to quit the underworld life and start over to follow the dream life he always wanted. When faced with betraying his closest friends, however, he decides their friendship is more important and turns on the heroes once more. After the other Spud Buds are sucked into a vacuum, Duke immediately apologizes to Meggy and Auri, lamenting that he was pulled back in before allowing himself to be arrested.
- Hidden Depths: Despite being a dimwit thug, he loves music and was once an aspiring musician before being forced by his father to become a criminal.
- Punch-Clock Villain: He states he merely wanted to be a musician, but was forced into crime in order to follow his father’s footsteps.
Russet
- Evil Genius: His oversized forehead and flowery speech patterns label him as the cleverest of the bunch.
- Felony Misdemeanor: Played for Laughs in the finale. He finds it unfair that he and the rest of the Spud Buds are sharing the same punishment as the Funky Force, as unlike them their worst crime was "only" attempted murder.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: He uses needlessly complex phrases like "in agreeance" and "glutton-e-ous dummy".
Whisk
A world-class anthropomorphic cat thief who's always brimming with confidence and skill—whenever she's wearing her mask, that is. Without it, she becomes virtually incompetent thanks to crippling social anxiety.
- Advertised Extra: Downplayed. Whisk was the face of Sunset Paradise in the months leading to its official announcement leading several to believe her to be the protagonist of the series, with little to no hints that Whisk's series was one and the same with Meggy's Supermarioglitchy4's Super Mario 64 Bloopers Spin-Off. That said, Whisk does play a prominent role in show, but as a major antagonist but nowhere near as much central focus as Meggy.
- Affably Evil: She has good intentions behind being a thief, so generally speaking, she is friendly... as long as you don't challenge her, as Meggy learns. She keeps up a polite tone of voice even while attacking Meggy, also making her Faux Affably Evil.
- Alas, Poor Villain: Played for Laughs. Auri mourns her "death" in episode 3 when she jumps out of the window until Meggy reminds him that she had a grappling hook.
- Ambition Is Evil: Despite wanting out of the syndicate, she still has plans to make a bigger name for herself as a solo criminal. It's on these grounds that Meggy and Auri arrest her, hoping it'll be a big enough wake-up call that her life will only hit a dead end at this rate. Unfortunately, it isn't.
- Catgirl: Complete with a phone behind her left ear.
- Cats Are Mean: She's a burglar with a dangerous arsenal who antagonized Meggy and Auri. Of course she's mean.
- Character Tic: As seen in the above image, she likes to put her left fist on her left hip and bend her right arm as a power stance.
- Classy Cat-Burglar: When she has her mask on. Otherwise, she's too shy to do much burglary.
- Cut Lex Luthor a Check: In a sad irony, her gadgets and hidden talents are incredibly advanced, such as grappling hooks, lasers, fear gas, disguise kits, physical prowess, and voice performances, all of which she could easily make money off of legally if she had the will to perform or sell herself in front of others.
- Dark Action Girl: While masked, she's capable of fighting on even ground as Meggy, even nearly killing the latter by herself.
- Decoy Protagonist: The previews that GLITCH presented before the show’s official reveal made it seem like a certain cat-girl will be the main protagonist in one of the shows, while Meggy would be getting her own show. Turns out it's Meggy instead, and Whisk is actually one of the antagonists.
- The Dragon: Downplayed regarding her connection (for lack of a better term) to Benedict. She does show up in time to aid him in the final confrontation, but other than that, she's the least loyal member of the syndicate, showing clear care for Meggy and Auri, and is only serving her boss because he's paying her debts.
- Dual Boss: In a weird way, she forms one with Shadow Meggy once her fear gas takes effect on Meggy.
- Enemy Mine: She coerces Meggy into a partnership in Episode 4 to help her pull off a heist, promising to return her stolen stuff in exchange. They nearly strike up something of a friendship, but that gets snuffed out when she gets thrown in jail after making it plain she has no intentions of turning over a new leaf.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Implied. She keeps in contact with her mother, talking to her casually on the phone in Episode 3. In the Grand Finale, Benedict tries to force her to keep fighting after Meggy knocks off her mask by threatening to have her mother "pay her debt" for her.
- Everyone Has Standards: She may be an unrepentant thief, but she prefers to steal from bad people and shows loyalty to those on her side. Subverted when she decides that she does want to be a criminal after Auri arrests her for tricking Meggy. Then seemingly double-subverted in the finale as, while she does fight Meggy, its heavily implied that she doesn't actually want to kill her and repeatedly tries to convince her to stand down and leave, even giving her one last chance to do so when she seemingly has Meggy dead to rights.
- Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Downplayed since she's more sensitive with her mask off and her true face being shown, but when that mask is covering her face up, she becomes quite a terrifying foe. When Meggy tries to first pursue her in Episode 3, she's still shown to be like this as she willingly scratches Meggy in self-defense when trying to escape from her without wearing her mask, and then threatens Meggy not to cross her when she wears it again.
- Fatal Flaw: Her shyness and her dependency on her mask is extremely crippling, to the point that unmasking her causes her otherwise excelling competency to nosedive. It gets to the point that she abandons Benedict's side once she loses her mask.
- Fully-Dressed Cartoon Animal: She's a cat in a dark trenchcoat, shorts, boots and very tall socks.
- Furry Reminder: As a Cat Girl, she's afraid of dogs. In her debut episode, her smooth escape from the museum is foiled by an animal noise exhibit making a barking noise, triggering a Surprise Jump.
- Goal in Life: In a villainous twist of Meggy's character, Whisk herself intends for only one goal to accomplish: steal the goods and get rich. And in another twist of Meggy's character, she likely also has no plans for what she'll do once she gets it, beyond paying off the debt she owes, that is.
- Had to Come to Prison to Be a Crook: Well, more of a crook. Auri and Meggy throwing her in jail after she declared she'd continue thieving independently causes her to give up on attempting to befriend them knowing they only see her as a criminal.
- Hidden Depths: Despite going along with her boss's plan to kill both Meggy and Auri, she leaves both the vacuum cleaner and the keys to the jail behind to let them escape, showing that she really cares for them subtly. Later on, during the final battle, she repeatedly tries to convince Meggy to just give up and leave, suggesting that she doesn't want to have to kill her.
- Hoist by Her Own Petard: She throws Chet out of her hotel room after he cleans it once he notices the painting she stole. Of course, she didn't notice he also took her gear while cleaning up, forcing her to deal with Benedict's rambling as she has to wait by the dumpster outside to get her gear back.
- I Did What I Had to Do: Whisk does see the moral issues in being a literal Classy Cat-Burglar but doesn't care because it's to pay her debt.
- I Lied: Downplayed. She honors her agreement to return Meggy's things as compensation for their Enemy Mine teamup, but her claims of wanting to quit being a criminal altogether are a big fat lie.
- Ironic Echo: During the climax, Whisk tells Meggy to "just give up and leave, this isn't her fight." After Meggy knocks off Whisk's mask, the former repeats these exact words to her, which the latter agrees to do after hesitating.
- It's Personal with the Dragon: After getting arrested by Meggy and Auri, Whisk fully commits to Benedict's plans out of personal spite for the two, even going out of her way to stop Meggy from defeating him and recovering the Phoenix Egg just to have one final duel with Meggy. She even refuses one final offer to make a Heel–Face Turn since Meggy can't "make a better offer than wiping [her] debt clean".
- Justified Criminal: She accumulated a huge debt, and her fear of being seen by other people limited her career choices, so she turned to nighttime burglary.
- Karma Houdini: Downplayed. Whereas the other villains get much-deserved retribution in the finale, Whisk manages to get away, presumably to follow through with her plan to continue stealing until she's rich enough to retire. That being said, she just lost her ticket out of debt, the guy in-charge of law enforcement knows who she is, and considering how the civilians handled the other criminals, it's likely she's worse off after everything that's happened.
- Mask of Confidence: When she has her mask on, she comes off as a cool, confident, and skilled fighter and thief. The instant the mask comes off, she falls apart and turns into a weak-willed doormat.
- Master of Disguise: Somehow able to perfectly disguise herself as a much smaller Aura Bora in Episode 3.
- Never My Fault: She decides to embrace being a criminal in Episode 6 after Meggy and Auri lock her up like one in Episode 4, ignoring that their entire reason for doing so was because she already walked back on wanting to quit.
- Not in This for Your Revolution: Of the criminals under Benedict's now non-existent thumb and in spite of the fact that she shows up in time for the final battle, she's actually the least loyal, only interested in wiping her debt clean. When defeated and unmasked by Meggy, she flees, claiming Benedict doesn't pay her enough to keep fighting unmasked.
- One Last Job: Subverted. She says she's tired of the criminal lifestyle in Episode 4 due to being bossed around by Benedict, so she decides to pull off a heist with Meggy so she can retire with a nice, fat wallet. It turns out she was talking about organized crime; she still has ambitions to strike it out on her own.
- Only in It for the Money: Unlike the Spud Buds (who like violence and hurting people who can't fight back), the Goonies (who Benedict bred and trained), and the Funky Fource (who Benedict struck a deal with to keep them relevant and agreed to help finance Joe's family), Whisk only wants to wipe her debt and from there strike it rich.
- Punch-Clock Villain: She is only a criminal to pay off her college debts.
- Punny Name: To 'whisk' something means to take it away quickly and suddenly. A fitting name for a cat burglar.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Once Meggy defeats and unmasks her in the final episode and the Phoenix Egg resurrects Auri, she decides to cut and run. This decision keeps her from getting arrested again and lets her recover her mask.
- Security Blanket: Her mask makes her believe that she's braver than she really is. When she loses it, she breaks down easily and is more likely to bolt.
- Shrinking Violet: When she has her mask off, that is. Meggy notes the similarity to Tari, another Shrinking Violet.
- Starving Student: Implied by her phone call with her eagle-eyed mother in Episode 3, where it's revealed she dropped out of community college so she could increase her savings...by stealing it.
- Stealth Hi/Bye: She appeared to have disappeared from the area after speaking to Meggy but Auri later reveals that she was just hiding near one of the theater rows of chairs.
- Sympathy for the Hero: Despite the bad blood they've built up across the series, Whisk tries to reason with Meggy to surrender throughout their fight in Episode 10 so she doesn't have to die.
- Then Let Me Be Evil: Auri's refusal to see her as anything but just another criminal to be locked up causes her to reject her friendship with Meggy and return fully to Benedict's service purely out of spite.
- Voice Changeling: She could perfectly replicate the voice of the museum curator when impersonating him, and Doy's voice when speaking to someone via Doy's headset.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Her primary goal in being a thief is to pay off her college debts, but this doesn't make her any less antagonistic. As for her boss, his goals regarding the Phoenix Festival are solely for his own benefit, and he's definitely worse than Whisk could ever be.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Where she went after fleeing from the Final Boss battle between Meggy and Benedict is a total mystery.
- Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness: Her iris’ are yellow.
The Funky Fource
A funkalicious foursome of crime-fighting superheroes who crush evil through the power of dance...or so they claim. In truth, they're frauds who harbor a dark secret behind their acts of derring-do.
- Accidental Murder: They unwittingly kill Mayora Bora when he takes their Funky Flare for Meggy and Auri. Ironically, their initial plan was to brainwash Meggy into assassinating the mayor then "foil" her.
- Alliterative Name: All four members have names that start with an F or F sound: Franky (yellow), Phil (red), Felix (blue), and Freddy (green), and they share the same surname, Fresh. Averted by their former fifth member, Joe Fresh.
- All There in the Manual: The red and blue members' names are never spoken in-series, though a Q&A in one of SMG4's streams revealed their names to be Phil and Felix, respectively.
- Ambiguous Robots: It's unclear to fans whether they're robots or they're just gray people who look like robots. It doesn't help that their Friday Night Funkin' voices sound uncannily robotic while they're capable of having families.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Weird gimmick aside, they're still capable of beating Meggy by herself in rap a battle through sheer numbers. She has to team up with Boyfriend to defeat them in the non-canon "If Friday Night Funkin' Was 3D" short. Episode 5 also reveals their silliness to be an act to hide how they're deeply disturbed villains who gave up on heroism after the death of their fifth member.
- Broken Pedestal: Auri was their number one fan until he walked in on their evil plot to assassinate the mayor and brainwash Meggy into taking the fall.
- Cool Shades: All four of them wear these, each in a different variety, their leader getting Triangle Shades.
- Combination Attack: Their Funky Flare.
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: They come in during the first episode after Whisk is arrested, and in terms of characterization are her complete opposite. Whisk puts up a serious front, but is revealed to be quite a silly character after her mask comes off. The Funky Fource initially seems to be silly, but are revealed to be serious villains in a scene where the leader takes off his sunglasses.
- Dance Battler: They're almost always seen dancing, and the heat of battle is no exception.
- The Dividual: All four of them share the same personality, the same design (minus the color and sunglasses), the same voice actor, and of course, the same passion for dance. This is a heavy contrast to the Spud Buds, who are much more unique in design, personality, and voice.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Appeared as the main antagonists in the non-canon "If Friday Night Funkin' Was 3D" short before appearing in the series proper.
- Eye Beams: All four of them have them.
- Fallen Hero: They started out as genuine superheroes, but they were driven off the deep end by the death of their fifth member, Joe Fresh. Believing themselves to be failures as heroes, they figured that continuing to act like heroes would be easier.
- Faux Affably Evil: Despite their true nature being a lot scarier than what they let on, they are rarely ever seen fighting without dancing, but they still manage to be terrifying at the same time and are willing to nuke a girl and a child.
- Foreshadowing: Their tagline would be much more fitting if there were five of them to match the five Fs. This was originally the case before Joe Fresh died.
- Hero Killer: They end up killing Mayora Bora when he performs a Heroic Sacrifice to save Meggy and Auri.
- Irony: They brainwash Meggy into trying to assassinate the mayor so they can turn the town against her and Auri. Later, when they try to kill the pair, they wind up killing the mayor for real via his Heroic Sacrifice.
- Knight of Cerebus: After initially being portrayed as silly villains of the week in "If Friday Night Funkin ' Was 3D", they take this role in Episode 5, where they're revealed to be truly sinister and tragic characters who brainwash Meggy into becoming an assassin, all without a trace of humor. However, some of their humour does return in later episodes, even though they remain quite serious villains.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Just like the Spud Buds, they have to do community service for their crimes. It becomes even more humiliating when they're forced to clean the statue of the mayor they just murdered.
- Musical Assassin: They're supervillains with a penchant for sick dance moves. They're also literal assassins, as they plan to assasinate the mayor—and eventually do so unintentionally.
- Odd Name Out: The Funky Fource (used to) consist of Franky, Freddy, Felix, Phil, and...Joe.
- The Password Is Always "Swordfish": The password to activate the defense mode of their Cool Car? "Funk". Naturally, this leaves Meggy and Auri unamused.
- Punny Name: They're an evil team of funk enthusiasts, and there's four of them. You do the math.
- Super Hero Origin: They were a bunch of wimps who couldn't dance or fight until they fell into a "funky acid pool" at a nuclear power plant, giving them special Dance Battler powers and inspiring them to do good. Sadly, it swerves into a super villain origin when their fifth member died and sent them over the Despair Event Horizon.
- Take Care of the Kids: Episode 6 reveals that the main reason they're working for Benedict is because he promised to provide for Joe Fresh's family if they help him reclaim his body.
- Token Competent Minion: Not only are they the first villains in the show to be taken dead seriously (Shadow Meggy being more of a figment than an actual person), but when Meggy and Auri face the entire crime syndicate one by one in order to get to Benedict, they proved to be the toughest challenge, and the mayor had to sacrifice his life just for the two heroes to get past them.
- Tragic Villain: They're only villains due to the death of one of their former members (Joe Fresh), with the only reason of them serving Benedict being that he promised them he'd provide for Joe's family.
- Villain with Good Publicity: The public sees them all as beloved superheroes, but it's all a ruse to hide their villainy. That ends after their connections to Benedict are exposed and they kill the mayor by accident.
Goonies
Benedict's numerous, genetically enhanced henchmen who do all the heavy-lifting for him.
- Adorable Evil Minions: They may be unhesitatingly helping Benedict with his schemes, but their Puppy-Dog Eyes and happy smiles make them so cuuuute.
- Affably Evil: They genuinely feel like nice fellows who just want to be polite, as Benedict’s main politely closes the door after Benedict’s conversation with the Spud Buds and waves to Whisk at the top of a rooftop, however Benedict always forces him to change his approach, to his sadness.
- Always Male: No female Goonies are seen. In Episode 8, this leads to Whisk dressing one up as a girl.Whisk: Are you guys even guys? Let's maybe get some diversity here!
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: They destroy property, assault citizens, and jump on the beds.
- Beware the Quiet Ones: Goonies are The Voiceless and have Puppy-Dog Eyes most of the time, but they're strong enough to pack quite a punch at best, and squeeze you to death at worst.
- Big Fun: Subverted. The hulking Goonies can't help but smile, wave and give a thumbs up—much to the annoyance of Benedict—but they're still capable of crushing your bones.
- The Dragon: Most of them are Elite Mooks, but the specific one that carries Benedict around can be seen as one, effectively serving as the brawn to his brain.
- Dumb Muscle: They may be terrifyingly buff for Aura Boras, but can be easily taken down if you can make them think that you're Benedict and bait them into running into a wall.
- Elite Mooks: They're gigantic Aura Boras that pack a heavy punch in a terrifying comparison to the wimpy Aura Bora citizens. And there are many of them.
- Genetic Abomination: They're revealed to be this in Episode 8.
- Green and Mean: Some Goonies have a green skin color... although it's really more of a teal.
- Heel–Face Turn: The Goonies that weren't caught up in the battle with Benedict have defected to working for Aziz instead.
- I Fight for the Strongest Side!: According to Aziz, they serve whoever yells the loudest.
- Minion with an F in Evil: They're much too polite and friendly to do anything properly evil on their own without direct prompting from Benedict.
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: They inflict a brutal one onto Auri. If not for Meggy....
- No-Sell: Getting stabbed by an arrow shot from a crossbow does nothing. Good thing they aren't very smart.
- Personal Mook: The blue Goonie that is prominently shown in previous episodes and promotional material is the one that has the honor of carrying Benedict.
- Purple Is Powerful: Some Goonies have a purple skin color.
- Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: While a Goonie was prominently shown in promotional material, there wasn't an indication there were multiple copies of them rather than just an individual character.
- Too Dumb to Live: They'll obey anyone who looks like Benedict...or is holding anything that looks like him. One even ignores Meggy and Auri because it was blinded by a wig (which slipped down from Whisk running into it).
- Trademark Favorite Food: Apparently, cookies. If they do something Benedict likes, he rewards them with one.
- Uncertain Doom: In the penultimate episode, Meggy blows the last of the Goony army with lamp oil. It's hard to tell if they're merely unconscious or she straight up killed them.
- The Voiceless: Which is why Benedict does the talking for them.
Independent Villains
Shadow Meggy
A manifestation of Meggy's negative emotions condensed into their own entity. She is one of the primary antagonists of the series and has debuted in the Mario bloopers in a mini-arc as a lead-in to the series.
- Big Bad Ensemble: While Benedict and his cronies are the main antagonizing force to Meggy, Shadow Meggy is her personal nemesis she's going to have to conquer.
- Curb Stomp Cushion: She manages to defeat Meggy yet again, like in the SMG4 Bloopers, but Meggy actually gets some hits in.
- Dark Is Evil: A shadowy being who loves to torment Meggy. Her ultimate goal is heavily implied to be driving Meggy to suicide.
- Dual Boss: In a way, once the fear gas takes effect on Meggy, forms a strange one with Whisk.
- Enemy Within: She exists in Meggy's head, and communicates with her every now and then through a Battle in the Center of the Mind.
- Go Out with a Smile: Played with. She doesn't have a mouth to smile with, but before she disappears, her shifting from cruel to supportive of Meggy learning a lot about herself is clear.
- Knight of Cerebus: Unlike the rest of the pilot, the brief moments she's on-screen are played completely straight.
- No Mouth: Which is odd, since her model in the Mario bloopers had one.
- Pet the Dog: She's surprisingly supportive of Meggy after the latter defeats Benedict, finally gets her vacation, and figures out what to do with her life.
- Shadow Archetype: A given, considered her name. She's everything that Meggy tries to repress or deny about herself, more specifically her self-doubt in her abilities and her guilt over people getting hurt because of her actions. In a similar vein to the psychological phenomena, Shadow Meggy becomes much less hostile once Meggy accepts these flaws and figures out that helping people is what she wants to do with her life.
- Uncertain Doom: She vanishes as soon as Meggy declares that she finally knows what she wants to do with her life, but it's unclear if she's gone for good or if she will someday return whenever Meggy feels doubtful of herself again.
- Villain Has a Point: Unfortunately for Meggy, some of the criticisms from her shadow self hold some merit, particularly when she's being unnecessarily harsh on Auri and/or driving him away. Keep in mind that he's not only making an effort to be a hero at the very least, but pulled through for or with her quite a few times, up to and including singlehandedly waking her up from the Funky Fource's brainwashing plot.
- Villains Out Shopping: Funnily enough, after Meggy defeats Benedict and saves Port Aurora, Shadow Meggy is seen laying in a lounge chair next to her as if they were friends. She's not even harshly criticising of Meggy like she usually is.
- Weaksauce Weakness: Meggy not giving a damn what she thinks is enough to hold her at bay. Also, once Meggy figures out what she wants to do with her life, Shadow Meggy becomes far less antagonistic.
- You Don't Look Like You: Like Meggy, her design is more different than in the bloopers. The purple shading outlines her body instead of having shades of purple cover it, her Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness now cross with a shade of white, and she has pupils now.
Froy and Doy Maloy
A duo of big-time magician brothers and conmen who run the Port Aurora Casino. They also own a pet tiger as their guard named Tig Tig.
- Asshole Victim: Whisk makes a point of their long history of crimes and ill-gotten wealth to ease Meggy on the idea of stealing from them.
- Beware the Silly Ones: They may act goofy, but they have a pet tiger that they can sic on anyone.
- Borrowed Catch Phrase: OUCH! My ovaries...
- Fat and Skinny: Froy is the fat one; Doy is the skinny one.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: They taught their tiger to maul people on command, so it's fair play that Meggy uses the trick on them.
- Karma Houdini: Downplayed. They're still off scot-free for all their extortions by the end of Episode 4, but not without getting roughed up.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: They're inspired by real-life magicians Siegfried and Roy, complete with German accents, a tiger, and one of them getting non-fatally mauled by said tiger.
- Right-Hand Attack Dog: Tig Tig, their pet tiger, will pin anyone down on command, themselves included.
- Sibling Rivalry: They're interactions when the other isn't around show they have a poor working relationship: Froy jumps at the chance to get interviewed when he thinks he's getting passed over by Doy, while Doy views Froy as The Load during their performances.
- Stage Magician: What they do if they aren't conning people.
- Villain with Good Publicity: They're beloved performers in Port Aurora, but they also stole their best tricks from their competitors and got away with it.
Others
Aura Boras
Aura Boras
Port Aurora's natives.
- Butt-Monkey: A species of them, to be precise. The Aura Boras are all incredibly wimpy, which pretty much means they can't properly defend themselves from the influx of criminals that have come their way, putting their island and sacred Phoenix Festival at risk.
- Cephalothorax: Their bodies are entirely taken up by their heads with skinny limbs.
- The Dog Bites Back: Once Meggy and Auri manage to defeat the Spud Buds in Episode 8, the potatoes are left to be watched by the normally unfortunate Aura Boras (and Aziz), who are more than willing to get revenge for the abuse they had received from them.
- Expy: Being the numerous small, wimpy and constantly victimised populace, they are basically Port Aurora's version of Toads. The comical abuse they take is pretty similar to the SMG4 version of Toads too.
- Informed Species: They're supposed to be sea creatures, according to how Meggy describes Auri, but they look more like a walking assortment of berries. Episode 8 also reveals that they lack spines.
- Meaningful Name: Their name comes from the Aurora Borealis, which is clear from the name of their home, Port Aurora, and its main landmark, the Borealis Lighthouse.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Shortly after believing the Funky Fource's lies about Meggy and Auri being evil and forming an angry mob, the "heroes" join the rest of the "law enforcement" to commit crimes. They apologize to the real heroes for the whole incident later on.
- No Mouth: With the exception of Auri Bori, Aloysius Bori, and the Goonies, Aura Boras lack visible mouths, but they can still eat and drink as if they had them.
Mayora Bora
The mayor of Port Aurora.
- Aborted Arc: Meggy and Auri talk about finding Mayora Bora's real name. No such thing happens, and "Mayora Bora" is the name used on his statue.
- The Chosen One: Parodied. He was chosen by the Magic 8 Ball to be mayor. Thankfully, it seems to have made the right call in the end.
- Curse Cut Short: Happens when he lets slip that tourists shouldn't be out after dark during his town's promotional video:"Oh, son of—" (cue credits)
- Death by Irony: He gives his life to help Meggy and Auri reach Benedict before the Funky Fource could kill them—the same villains who originally brainwashed Meggy to assasinate him.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Meggy and Auri never really did find out his real name after he saved them.
- Heroic Sacrifice: See Killed Off for Real.
- I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!: After delivering a motivational speech to the mayor, Auri takes a big sip from the mayor's mug... and is disgusted when he realizes that the mayor drinks gravy. The mayor admits that it's one of his coping methods, but decides to give up drinking gravy once he decides that he was going to help save Port Aurora.
- Killed Off for Real: The first major casualty of the series, through a Heroic Sacrifice where he blocks the Funky Fource's "special move" from reaching Meggy and Auri with his bus in Episode 8. Episode 10 shows that the Phoenix didn't bring him back, and a statue is erected in his honor.
- Late to the Realization: Even though it was obvious that something was wrong in Episode 6, he doesn't realize that he's being attacked and believes everything the Funky Fource says about Auri and Meggy. He only figures out the Funky Fource is evil once he tries to call them to save him from Benedict in Episode 7, but still thinks Meggy and Auri are assassins trying to kill him in Episode 8, only getting the hint once the duo explicitly spells out what's going on.
- Mayor Pain: The incompetent variety who does a piss poor job at hiding his town's dark secrets.
- Punny Name: He's an Aura Bora who's also a mayor.
- Suspiciously Specific Denial: While describing how great his town is, he makes sure to mention that there's "absolutely no hidden evil or lurking danger to worry about".
Aloysius Bori
The late sheriff of Port Aurora, and Auri Bori's grandfather, also known as "Pop-Pop".
- Disappointed in You: How he approaches Auri in his subconscious, though this version of him was merely an illustion created by Whisk. The real Aloysius proves to be the exact opposite.
- Enemy Within: A variant. While Meggy has to constantly face her shadow self in her subconscious, Auri faces his grandfather, who is ashamed in his grandson for not living up to the standards he did when he was sheriff.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Apparently it's genetic, since Auri had the same problem. However, Auri was able to grow out of it and find allies, while Aloysius worked and died alone on the lighthouse.
- Greater-Scope Paragon: Posthumously, as while he is dead well before the series started, he was the one who cursed Benedict, leading to the events of the series.
- I Work Alone: He did so back then... and he cites it as the reason why Benedict was able to kill him.
- My Greatest Failure: In the in-between, he expresses regret for not having someone to look out for him.
- Posthumous Character: His cremated remains are kept in a jar in his home where Auri takes up residence, and he appears in the "in between" encountered by Auri and Benedict in the finale. An illusion of him created by Whisk also appears as Auri's equivalent to Shadow Meggy in his subconscious.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: The afterlife shows him to be this, and not at all the disappointed parental figure Auri fears him to be.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: If Benedict's recollection of him is accurate, he had quite a colorful vocabulary.
- So Proud of You: Not only was he impressed with his grandson's hero work thus far, he commends Auri for being more well-liked than he was, even having a best friend that cared about him.
A bellboy who works at Hotel Aurora.
- Bad Liar: Zig-Zagged. He does a poor job hiding from Meggy and Auri that Whisk is checked in at the hotel, but when he tries brushing off Meggy finding Whisk's belt lying around by insisting many of the hotel's guests have "highly advanced cat burgling utility belts", it turns out he's telling the truth.
- Dead Guy Junior: Spoofed. Chet says his parents named him after their dead goldfish.
- Horrible Judge of Character: He assumes Whisk is an art collector judging from the recently missing portrait he finds in her room.
- Insistent Terminology: He prefers to be called a bell-man, not a bell-boy.
- One-Shot Character: Compared to the other characters, he only appears once in Episode 3 within the show itself. He does, however, co-star with Whisk in a promo for the show in the main SMG4 series.
An Aura Bora who guards the lighthouse, and the Phoenix Egg within, from evildoers.
- Cool Old Guy: He's pretty tough for an Aura Bora, putting up a respectable effort when fighting Benedict's Goonie. Overlaps with Badass Normal.
- Hero Antagonist: He plays the antagonist role in episode 7, the Villain Episode focusing on Benedict's takeover of Port Aurora. His goal is simply to ensure the villain does not get his hands on the Phoenix Egg.
- MacGuffin Guardian: His job is to protect the Phoenix Egg that Benedict yearns for.
- Not Quite Dead: Seemingly crushed to death by a Goonie in episode 7, but turns up alive, but in very bad shape two episodes later.
- Really 700 Years Old: He knows who Benedict Cumbersnatch is, and reveals that he was a child when the crime boss last threatened Port Aurora. This makes the guard a little over a century old.
- You Are in Command Now: The finale implies he's become Port Aurora's mayor after Mayora Bora's death.
Miscellaneous
Aziz Yousi
A shady, customer-hating ice cream vendor.
See this page for tropes regarding him as he is seen in the SMG4 series.
- Bad Liar: He calls an oil leak from his cart "ice cream juice", and his illegally owned octopus an "ice cream squid". He doesn't bother making up an excuse for the pistol in his cart, though.
- Improbable Weapon User:
- In Episode 6, he lights his ice cream cone on fire to use it as a torch when he and the crowd think that Auri and Meggy are evil thanks to the Funky Fource.
- In Episode 8, he uses a popsicle with nails sticking out of the top to make sure that the Spud Buds don't cause any trouble.
- Jerkass: In his first scene, he insults Meggy behind her back, overprices his goods, and offers no refunds or replacements when another customer drops ice cream right in front of him.
- Jerkass Has a Point:
- When Auri finds a gun stashed away in his cart, Aziz replies, "Ice cream very dangerous business." Later, after getting wrapped up in a brawl with the Spud Buds in an ice cream store, Meggy begrudgingly admits that Aziz was right.
- In Episode 8, he points out that you shouldn't talk in the middle of a fight. Possibly a Take That! to action anime, which typically has its characters talk constantly to each other even in the heat of a battle.
- Kick the Dog: When his cart gets shut down before he can serve Meggy, he refuses to pay her back and later knocks her ice cream out of her hand when she gets one somewhere else. Evidently, when he says "no ice cream for anyone", he means it.
- Lethal Chef: There's no way his ice cream is safe for eating, given the "ingredients" he searches for. He even has the gall to sell ice cream that had fallen onto a battle-torn street.
- What the Hell Is That Accent?: He's supposedly of Arabic descent judging from his name, but his accent sounds vaguely Russian, similar to that of Fuego the Water Bottle from the Mario bloopers (also voiced by James Bailey).
