Angie is the Head of the Willis family and bespectacled woman who is just a big child. She has other roots beside her Irish ones, including African-American, Spanish, Scottish and German. She is incredibly jealous of other attractions Ava has in her life, an attitude that tends to get out of hand in most cases. In one episode, Angie and Ava split up because of Angie's jealousy only to discover that Ava has the same character flaw and the two decide to live with their mutually jealous nature. Angie has a very short attention span and frequently ends up in bizarre situations, as Deanna points out in one episode, after Angie's bird dies "She will get over it pretty quickly and then move on to another crazy-ass thing". | Angie is the Head of the Willis family and bespectacled woman who is just a big child.

− | '''Thomas | + | '''Thomas "Tom" Willis''' (formerly Margo), voiced by Pauly Shore in the pilot and Leonard Lai - Tom was an unattractive, sensitive, and emotionally fragile teenage transgendered boy. He was enrolled at Babyface Regional High School. His multiple insecurities caused him to desperately try to be part of the "in-crowd", but this only results in him getting coldly rebuffed by the bullying head quarterback of his school. Initially valued to the family in earlier seasons, his standing in the family's "pecking order" was more similar to that of the stereotypical “middle child” (despite being the oldest of the Willis children by age) such as being the butt of Angie's jokes due to his "homeliness" and fragile confidence, despite frequently proving to be more responsible and reasonable than the rest of the family. |

Despite being younger than their sister, Deanna. They seems to take a more aggressive hand in their interaction, openly insulting Deanna. However, this seems to just be their way of addressing people in general, and not done with any deep malice intended. In fact, their relationship is showing promise of being a decently caring one at this point. In one particular episode of ''The Souzas'', Brynn and the sextuplets are disturbed by how clean and attentive Deanna is in regards to Brandi's parental requests. Initially annoyed at her making them look bad, they become sympathetic when they realize that they never accepted Tom's death, and has been doing all he can to avoid giving into Deanna's sorrow. Together Brynn and the sextuplets do all they can to help Deanna let her feelings out and at the same time, they accept her as their sister. | Despite being younger than their sister, Deanna.

They have a son Austen and a transgendered female dog, Bianca. Albert drowned in the pilot episode and in [[Quillsville Cold Case: Albert Willis|Quillsville Cold Case]] he was murdered by Julie.

A.A. is an abbreviation for "Amazing Ava," implying that the original Ava was unsatisfactory to her mother. Peggy treats A.A. much better than Ava presumably because Peggy sees her as being her second chance of being a better mother than she was for Ava and Albert. A.A. was key at a time when Ava had to convince Peggy not to end her life as well as to permit Ava to give her mother money for the baby's sake (and as payback for the years Peggy raised her and Albert). A.A. was absent at the time of her mother's death, and was not seen throughout the rest of the orignial series, although it was presumed she was living with her father and stepmother. In the revived series (as a pre-teen), after her father, Charlie Harvey lost custody and is sent to live with her half-sister and her family. |
