Contents
Main recurring characters
Craven Gifts
- Tina Kelso (née Craven) (voiced by Alexandra Moffitt) – Tina is the slightly overweight, greying, over-the-hill owner of Craven Gifts, and Ava's boss. Her physical appearance greatly resembles Florence Henderson, particularly her hairline, and she has a habit of hosting employee discussions in her bathroom. Johnson. Originally hailing from Nashville, Tina was historically known for her modest start in business and general business smarts. These attributes have since been worn away by life and been replaced with many habits which often come in the way of her business decisions. Tina is a compulsive gambler to the point where she will use company profits to continue gaming, even betting in underground events. Also like Henderson, Tina is a chauvinist, alcoholic, and adulterer. It is often implied that Ava reveres Tina and that, in Ava's eyes, the two have a close relationship. Compared to Ava who is the ultimate model of a good employee, Tina's vices require Ava to keep an extremely close eye. Tina refers to Ava as her "Golden Goose" implying Ava is the only reason her business remains afloat and thus she would never fire her. Ava has used the threat of quitting to capitulate Tina's transition from things Ava found unsavory. Her health is questionable as she has suffered numerous infarctions and has had several cardiovascular surgeries including valve replacements. Despite her less than desirable traits, she has an ethical side although she planted evidence on Ava for murder rather than let her then-husband be arrested. Tina retires from Craven Gifts in a season 6 episode after marrying Quillsville Mayor Lee Kelso.
- Jane Jill (voiced by Alexandra Moffitt) – Jane Jill is a truck driver and co-worker with Ava at Craven Gifts. She has a drinking problem and has a habit of calling people she speaks to "baby", regardless of their gender or level of familiarity with her.
- Adrienne (voiced by Robyn Hurd from 2006-2011, Breeanna Sorensen since 2019) – Adrienne is a good-natured German-American truck driver at Craven Gifts. Originally she spoke with a very weak accent. In the episode "Adrienne-cilable Differences," Adrienne forcibly befriends Ava after a nasty fight with her husband. Adrienne ends up moving in with the Willis for a short time eventually developing a pathological attachment to the Willis family, but quickly patches things up with her husband after a fed-up Ava kicks her out. Adrienne nearly lost her house due to rent increases when property values in her neighborhood skyrocket when Angie began selling working class housing to upper-middle class Millennials. To solve the problem, Angie helped the neighborhood value decline when she fabricated the area as uncool by making it appear as if typical middle-class families were moving in prompting the millennials to leave. Afterwards she applied and became a homeowner. While a hard worker, she has poor fiscal habits, often spending money on lavish outdoor parties to celebrate any seemingly significant event such as her son's bar mitzvah or becoming a homeowner.
- Robert "Crob Bob" Craven (voiced by Garfield Everman in the first appearance, TBA in later appearances) – Robert is the deep-voiced, long suffering husband (later ex-husband) of Tina Craven, first seen in "Death Picks Craven". In "Death Picks Craven" Crob Bob confronts Tina at an awards dinner while she is there with her misterer. He files for divorce from Tina and subsequently takes control of Craven Gifts. This forces Tina to move in with Dan. He promotes Ava to manager and attempts to seduce Ava in a gas-powered hot tub. However, the interest was not reciprocated. He brags to Tina about this, Tina, in turn, surprises Ava with a loaded shotgun expressing her jealousy. He and Tina reconcile, but later on, in "Quillsville Cold Case", Crob Bob has left Tina for good and gets involved with Julie Crawford (Ava's ex-sister-in-law).
Babyface High School
- Principal Eric Halvorson (voiced by Eric Halvorson) – Erik is the principal of Babyface Regional High School. Halvorson is one of Ava's high school classmates; he played center for their basketball team. His primary concerns are tight budgets, maintaining discipline and the schools zero tolerance policy for "everything". He tends to follow procedure to avoid trouble, even when it conflicts with his friendship with Ava. A highly changed person, Ava will often remind Eric of how he used to be and insinuate that Eric sold out for a position of power. He frequently rejects staff demands for better teaching aids, citing budget cuts; he once referred to wood being used in shop class as a "fancy teaching aid". Often the center of various scandals at the school, he permitted installation of soda dispensing vending machines solely for raising funds for staff vacations and purposely placed lazy students into special education classes to avoid state-mandated exams (whose grades would heavily affect school funding). Once, when one of Melissa's plots to get rid of Halvorson came to nothing before they got started, Tiffani mentioned that Halvorson couldn't hide behind inflated test scores forever.
- Vice Principal Ann Ryder (voiced by Ann Ryder) - Ann is the female assistant principal of Babyface Regional High School. Ann is one of Angie's high school classmates in Port Melissa.
- Coach Gruff (voiced by Alexandra Moffitt) – Coach Gruff is the girls' basketball coach at Babyface High School. She has a difficult time relating to things outside of basketball and often uses basketball-related expressions in everyday speech. Gruff is portrayed as something of a sexist, having displayed a very negative attitude towards football.
- Angelika Mullins (voiced by Ava Zinn) – She is Deanna's deep-voiced, laconic classmate. She always sardonically intones something obvious after witnessing an event (for example, to Deanna after witnessing Aldi Mart exploding, "Your Grandma got blown up."). She also is something of a rebel — she upskirted Angie, and he is seen smoking and promiscuious. Her style of speech is similar to Elisa Donovan from Ava Zinn's previous show, Amanda & Elisa, albeit without Elisa's trademark laughter.

- Officer Dailey (voiced by Frank Davidson) – Officer Dailey is a local police officer in Quillsville who is not averse to tampering with evidence and taking bribes from illegal operations. In the episode "Cops and Roberts," Principal Halvorson states that "Officer Dailey may be a disgraced cop who tampered with evidence . . . but this here used to be a man". His appearance is modeled after Ava Zinn's long-time friend Alec Dailey. Dailey (as well as other Quillsville police officers) were seen to be 'starstruck' by fictional ex-Indiana Colt player Kelvin Rhodes (and his 2005 Super Bowl ring) and refused to arrest him for felonies against Ava and Lando after finding out who he was in the episode "New Colt on the Block".
- Mayor Lee Kelso (voiced by Lee Kelso) – The Mayor of Quillsville who is named after the former Fort Wayne anchorman who provides his voice. He is a highly odd and delusional politician.

- Jasper Jones (voiced by Garfield Everman) – Jasper was the slacker boyfriend of Baxter/Bianca Willis. He was killed in an explosion by his own negligence while working at Aldi Mart, having dragged a gas tank by the valve instead of its handles resulting in leak.

As of the sixth season, Another World becomes the show's theme song. She is a sleazy car dealer who owns "Gayle Ford" and "Gayle Hyundai," and as she says, "I got my eye on Gayle Cadillac—my momma ain't doing so good."
- Barbara Hobbs (voiced by herself) – Barbara is a famous Miss Indiana contestant, and her "Hoosier Millionaire" is played frequently on the show. She shamelessly promotes Aldi Mart until she grows tired of going to every new store opening (she told Melissa that she didn't read the contract properly, stating that Aldi Mart opened 400 new stores per year and it left her no time to produce hew "Hoosier Millionaire" episodes, record or be with her family). This forced her to disappear where Melissa discovers she has become a hermit, living within the Quillsville Aldi Mart in a "Toilet Paper Castle" and stealing stocked items at night when the store is closed. When she tells Melissa that she disappeared to "stick it to the man", Melissa decides to keep her secret and Hobbs goes on living in the store undetected.
