Milk - The title character of the show, Milk is a little girl who may or may not be a superhero. She is selfish, vain, has a short temper, drools, farts and often yells, "You dumbass!"

Technically, she works for the President, but she only does so when she feels like it.

Tetsuko - An obsolete robot maid, she lives with and works for Milk. Tetsuko is a more conservative character, the only occasional voice of reason on the show when she is questioning Milk's greedy, amoral or random decisions. She yearns for a stable traditional family life, which the humans around her do not even consider. Milk often calls her a piece of junk, and Tetsuko is torn between loving Dr. Eyepatch (her "daddy") and being disappointed in him when he insults her or offers to replace her. She has the ability to generate a fart ("Tetsuko's gas") that can kill a raging Insert: Á á É é Í í Ó ó Ú ú À à È è Ì ì Ò ò Ù ù Â â Ê ê Î î Ô ô Û û Ä ä Ë ë Ï ï Ö ö Ü ü ß Ã ã Ñ ñ Õ õ Ç ç... bear.
