Characters[]
Main[]
- Halt Winster (voiced by Zach Callison) - a 17-year-old gay teen with a prosthetic leg who just recently moved to Widowsburgh as he tries to blend in with the neighbors along with his friends. He's a cartoonist and likes to draw cartoons. In the first season finale, "'Twas the Night Before Prom," it is confirmed that he and Kyle are officially dating.
- Marina Dodson (voiced by Kristen Schaal) - a 16-year-old cheerful, yet naïve teen who is one of Halt's best friends. She is a girly girl and has an interest in fashion, beauty, social media, and boys. She can be extremely jealous at the time whenever someone is better than her.
- Markell Campbell (voiced by Tru Valentino) - a 14-year-old loner African-American teen who is also one of Halt's best friends. Due to having vitiligo, a rare chronic skin condition, he never made plenty of friends because of his fear of being made fun of. He has a pet spider named Jolyne, who is the only "friend" he spends time with.
