Weird hipster chick who attacked Sven,Steve, and then Marten; Dora, Faye and Marten took herout, with help from Pintsize. Arrested for her antics afterbeing subdued by Dora and Faye.

–
Owner of Coffee of Doom ("Indifferenceand Espresso"), a coffee shop in downtownNorthampton, Massachusetts (the name of the shop was first revealed in 106); friend and boss of Faye who has had a thing for Martensince first appearing in the comic. Sister of Sven, whose seemingly easy success (and sexual prowess) she despises. Veryuninhibited (she flashed Marten in 108);hinted at that she is bisexual (she did, after all, look at herdad's Veronica Vance photos), but monogamous. Verysassy and surly; started a tradition of putting fake "Specialsof the Day" on the chalkboard, akin to Bart Simpson'swritings on the chalkboard (the first one: "WE ARESURLY BECAUSE YOU SUCK!"). Has a flame tattoo onher lower back, part of a larger unfinished tattoo; Martendrew himself and Dora roasting marshmallows on it with awashable marker (870). Went to Saint Agnes High Schoolon Sunderland Street in Northampton, which is where sheknew Special Agent Turing (and how we discovered herlast name, in comic 151). Has a Twitter account, and ispretty good with computers and AnthroPC's, though shedoesn't have one; she keeps a laptop behind the counter(next to a broadsword) at the shop. Recently broke upwith Marten over some personal issues (which she'd be thefirst to agree was all on her part); briefly lived with herbrother Sven before moving to Amherst (a whole
twentyminutes away!
). Apparently wrote a LOT of mopey stuff about the breakup, but at the last second decided not to godown the road of shameful blog posts and ice creamfatness.

–
Dora and Sven's mom; definitely a 60'stype of lady (think Heidi Klum). First unofficial referencewas when she sent Dora a sex toy back in comic 105 (she isapparently Swedish), but never shown until after Dora and Marten became a couple. Didn't pick up on it when shenoticed how much Marten looked like "that bondage lady"(Veronica Vance, who happens to be Marten's mom).Expressed some lustful thoughts for Marten after meetinghim ("first one you've brought home I'd sleep with")
–
butthat could have been the pot talking.Bianchi, Peter (982)
–
Dora and Sven's dad; Italian-American,adventurous type who's a freelance photographer, doing alot of work for

. Tempted fate in firstappearance by sneaking up and grabbing Faye from behind when they first met. He's spent time in the Mojave high onpeyote while looking for scorpions to photograph; climbed Kilimanjaro, fought pirates in the South Pacific, slapped 
 
Nancy Reagan in the butt (no, really, he has the picturesand everything). He likes Veronica Vance (which is whereDora got her first taste of erotica). Dora's parents have a"Sonny and Cher" vibe going
–
without the acrimoniousdivorce and death by skiing.Bianchi, Sven (328)

Dora's older brother (by a year) and Faye'ssome-time romantic liaison. A country musicsongwriter who somehow made it bigwithout moving to 17th Avenue South inNashville (Some of his "hits": "You Stole MyHeart, You Stole My Dog, But You Ain'tGonna Steal My Chevy"; "Me and You and aGun Rack For Two"; "Red Neck, WhiteTruck, Blue Jeans"). Dad wanted to name him Joseph, but mom overruled. Says that he makes a bettercup of coffee than Dora (which is debatable). Does aweekly acoustic set at the Purple Opossum in downtownNoHo. Had a few of his "old burnout music buddies" visit awhile back while he was out doing karaoke; that nightended in an unexpected manner. Has a Twitter account(though he doesn't use it much). Appears to have not quitegotten back on track after his "relationship" with Faye; arun-in with Marigold and a pretend-date with Hannelorehaven't had much affect. Nearly got kicked out of his ownapartment by his sister after a rather inappropriatecomment about Marten's mom.Bonercat (1901)

–
Psychiatrist in Northampton;Faye and Hanner's counselor. Slightly warped sense of humor; jokes about frontal lobotomies and a Rorschach of "NO SARCASM PLEASE" with Faye. Helped her get overusing alcohol as a coping mechanism

–
Who do you think has been doingBeatrice Chatham's dirty work all these years? Seriously,she's more or less a figment of Hannelore's imagination; sheimagined what her clone might be like,
sans
hang-ups and OCD. This is what her tortured mind came up with. Atleast her clone wouldn't yank her teeth out until
after 
shewas dead..Concert-Goers (16)
–
Concert-goers with whom Marten (and apparently Jeph) have a beef with. They are: the FashionWhore, the Chatterboxes, the One-Man Mosh Pit, and theFrontline Soldier. Marten added a fifth one later on:"Terminal Scenesterists" (couples who make out atconcerts).Cops, Northampton (749)

–
Blonde OCD socially ineptgermophobe raised on a space station
–
whichexplains a lot. Lives above Faye and Marten;"stalked" Marten at the local bar, where he raninto her in the ladies' room. (Don't ask.)Trends towards innocence, but occasionallyhas homicidal thoughts. She's pretty good atsuppressing them
–
at least for now. Simplemnemonic in dealing with her: "HuggingHannelore heralds heavy hyperventilating!" REALLY good at drumming, though the heavy sweating and the trauma of losing a matched set of drumsticks is hard on her (thoughnot as hard as finding out she shouldn't wear skirts whileplaying). Has befriended Marigold after she cleaned up thedisaster area that was her room. She overcame her OCDlong enough to help Marigold after a hangover. This wasapparently enough for her to actually apply for a job

Hannelore's dad; scientist whomade his money and then moved to a space station, whichis where Hanners grew up. No word on whether he was a"Mad scientist", though Hanners has asked if he's beentaking his medications.

probably most importantly

Has a friend with a cross-like tattoo onhis neck who we first see him talking to about a girl whohe doesn't want to tell that he "loves her" so as not to jeopardize their friendship.

–
AnthroPC friend of Pintsize (L9R model, or sowe assume from his name) who we meet at a LANpark (a"café" for AnthroPC's, kind of like a Dog Walk). Was"modded" by his owner to include a see-through panel inhis torso.Emergency Medical Technician (1554)

She is seen singing "La la la, la-li-lu-le-lo"in a pink outfit and white frilly midi skirt, with a roseflower headband, butterfly wings and holding a wand witha star on top. She makes Marten fear of death by "terminalworldview collapse." There is speculation that
this
isHannelore's "doppelganger" from the Secret Bakery crowd.Farmer, Marigold (1413)
