XJ-9/Jenny Wakeman

• Action Girl
• Badass Adorable
• Bare Your Midriff: Her cover plates emulate a bra and a miniskirt.
• Bifauxnen: She bulks up almost to ridiculous degrees in the episode Grid-Iron Glory once she's called to play on the (male) football team.
• Cute Bruiser
• Do-Anything Robot: Packs all kinds of fighting gizmos in her body. Occasionally Played for Laughs when she pulls out something not meant to be used in a fight.
• FemBot
• Fetish Fuel Station Attendant
• Genki Girl
• Gratuitous Foreign Language: Japanese, helped by the fact that her VA Janice Kawaye is also Japanese.
• I Just Want to Be Normal
  • Combined with I Just Want to Have Friends: Being a superpowered robot wouldn't be so hard for her if there were more bots as advanced as her.
• Redheaded Hero: Once had red body paint, and her exoskin human form is a redhead.
• Ridiculously Human Robot: The titular Teenage Robot of the series.
• Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World
• Younger Than They Look: Technically has been alive for about 5 years, but has all the mentality of a teenage girl... usually.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Brad

• Casanova Wannabe
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass - his over-enthusiasm for trying to be a hero can be more trouble than help, but when he gets serious he can be pretty significant help.
• I Just Want to Be Special - to contrast him with Jenny's desire to be a normal teenager.
• Nice Guy
• Plucky Comic Relief
• Redheaded Hero
• Shotgun Wedding - Played straight, then subverted, then played straight again, all in a couple of minutes, with Tammy

Sheldon

• Asian and Nerdy: He's apparently half Asian.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass - He was a space pirate for decades. And a secret agent.
• Dogged Nice Guy
• Dude, Where's My Respect? - It's not that he can't ever get any respect, but he has to work much harder for it.
• Loves My Alter Ego - Silver Shell
• Nerd
• Single-Target Sexuality
• Stalker with a Crush
• What Could Have Been - Although you wouldn't guess so from the way Sheldon was treated in the show, Rob Renzetti wanted to make him and Jenny a couple.

Tuck

• Annoying Younger Sibling
• Badass Adorable
• Gasshole - Taken to its logical extreme in "Infectious Personality"
• Kid Appeal Character
• Large Ham

Nora Wakeman

• Never Mess with Granny
• Mad Scientist - has her moments.
• Mama Bear
• Motherly Scientist
• The Professor
• Truly Single Parent

Queen Vexus

• Big Bad
• Determinator - Even after losing multiple times to Jenny even to the point of losing her status as Queen, she still insists on attacking Jenny any chance she gets.
• Evil Matriarch - Subverted. She may be evil and the Big Bad of the show, but she still loves Vega (almost to the point of being overprotective, even.)
• God Save Us From the Queen
• Hellish Pupils
• Hey, It's That Voice!: She was voiced by Eartha Kitt.
• I Have You Now, My Pretty - Tends to fall into this slightly once she succeeds to capturing Jenny.
• Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain - Starts off as a huge threat, but becomes an easily dispatched threat later on. This really gets hammered home, though, when she eventually loses her dictatorship over Cluster Prime.
• Tsurime Eyes

Vega

• Blade Below the Shoulder\Cool Sword
• Expy: In universe, she's this for Jenny among her circle of friends, who, incidentally, look just like Jenny's friends back home.
• Power Gives You Wings: Dragonfly wings, in her case.

Misty

• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: While not evil per say, she was absolutely confused by Jenny's remorse for scaring the Krust Cousins to tears.
• Even Misty Has Standards: Even though she only does hero work for money and sees no problem with meditating while a Killer Rabbit destroys the town, She was clearly disgusted that her former team mates lazed around and actually betted against Jenny as she fought against a Giant Monstrous Frog.
• Expy: Her appearance and powers are obviously based on Raven. (The fact that she was part of the "Teen Team" clinches it.)
• Superpower Lottery: Let's see...she's a skilled martial artist, has Super Strength, can fly, turn into mist, shoot laser beams from her eyes, and control peoples' minds.
• Super Smoke: Her most often used superpower is her ability to turn into a cloud of purple mist at will (hence her name).
• Morality Pet: Jenny is probably this to her.
