Meet the Characters

Brady Plunkett and Friends

• Brady Plunkett is a 12-year-old who absolutely loves monsters. His interest started when his older sister, Arlene, told him there was a monster outside their window. It turned out she was right! Brady dreams of a world where humans and monsters can live together peacefully. He is voiced by Candida Gubbins.
• Virgil Arp is Brady's 12-year-old best friend. He's usually scared of monsters, but he has become good friends with some, like the Minotaur. Virgil isn't always the smartest, but he's always there for Brady.

The Plunkett Family

• Arlene Plunkett is Brady's 17-year-old sister. She's the one who first got Brady interested in monsters when he was four. Brady often asks her for advice, but Arlene, like many older sisters, sometimes takes advantage of him. Her cell phone ringtone can strangely hypnotize her!
• Maxwell Plunkett is Brady's dad. He's known as the cheapest man in Ravenville and really dislikes monsters. He sees them as just more mouths to feed. He often leads angry groups to chase monsters away. The only time he lets a monster in his house is if he can make money from them, like getting free medical help from Dr. Jekyell. He is voiced by Matt Devereaux.
