About “Human Resources” in a few words:

Human Resources is an adult animated sitcom, serving as a spin-off and subseries to Big Mouth, that takes place in the workplace of the Hormone Monsters depicted in the original series. The show is a workplace comedy that follows the antics of various monsters who are assigned to groups of human adults as their representation of feelings. The characters include Emmy Fairfax, a Lovebug who gets assigned to Becca, and Rochelle Hillhurst, a Lovebug and Emmy’s best friend who is assigned to Doug. Lionel St. Swithens, a Shame Wizard, and Constance “Connie” LaCienega, a Hormone Monstress, also appear, along with other characters.

Meet the characters from Human Resources

Emmy

Emmy is this quietly fierce presence who somehow holds a room together without making a show of it — like the person who remembers everyone’s birthdays and also knows how to dismantle a spreadsheet at 3 a.m. She’s organized to a borderline obsession (color-coded sticky notes, and yes, a secret drawer of emergency pens), but also surprises you with random midnight karaoke or a terrible pun. Warm and slightly awkward in the cutest way, she’s the kind of person who will fiercely defend a teammate and then apologize for yelling about recycling bins. She cares a lot, maybe too much, and is often the glue that keeps chaotic stuff from collapsing.

Rochelle

Rochelle is loud, proud, and has zero patience for nonsense — the “get it done” energy, always, but with a soft corner under all that armor. She can tell you off in two seconds flat and then make you a casserole like nothing happened; very comforting but do not test her. There’s a blunt, practical wisdom to her that people secretly lean on even when they roll their eyes, and she has a hidden hobby (knitting? karate? both?) that she insists is relaxing and is actually competitive. She’s tough but has a ridiculous laugh and a surprisingly tender playlist.

Dante the Addiction Wizard

Dante is theatrical, glittery chaos wrapped around a very big, messy heart — think showman therapist who might also tempt you with cookies. As the Addiction Wizard he’s all about the allure, the pull, the dramatic monologue that explains why something feels impossible to resist, and he makes it seem almost glamorous (until it’s not). He’s empathetic in an oddly enabling way — like he’ll sing lullabies to your worst habit and then wink about consequences — and he loves a metaphor so much he’ll probably decorate his office with them. He’s wildly compassionate but also prone to tangling people up in feelings, and yes, he owns way too many candles.

Petra the Ambition Gremlin

Petra is pure get-up-and-go distilled into a small, relentless creature who treats ambition like a hobby and a sport. She’s motivational to the point of being intimidating — will hand you a to-do list and a pep talk while plotting your next promotion — and somehow makes ruthless efficiency sound adorable. Loves coffee, loves spreadsheets, and also collects motivational quotes like weird little trophies; somehow she’s both a coach and a cheerleader and also a tiny drill sergeant. She can be harsh (competitive, yes) but she’s also the one who leaves post-it love notes when she’s not critiquing your elevator pitch.

Doug

Doug is the gentle, steady baseline in a chaos orchestra — reliable, a little awkward, and quietly heroic in ways that don’t need applause. He’s practical, likes routines, and probably owns three different kinds of bread because carbs solve things (don’t @ him). He’s soft-spoken but unexpectedly dramatic when it matters, like a rom-com lead who trips over his own shoelaces and still saves the day; also collects tiny rubber ducks for reasons he gives conflicting stories about. Doug makes you feel safe even when he’s stumbling through feelings, and that’s kind of his superpower.

Pete the Logic Rock

Pete is literal, blunt, and the household appliance of reason — a rock that gives straight facts and mild existential commentary, oddly soothing if you like cold hard truth. He’s the voice that hands you a flowchart when everyone else is sobbing, and he will absolutely tell you the statistical odds of your plan failing (sorry), but sometimes he surprises you by enjoying a sunset or quoting poetry, which is confusing and endearing. Stoic but with little sparks of dry humor, he’s the anti-drama anchor who secretly enjoys a good debate about metaphors. He’s steady, stubborn, logical to a fault, and somehow has a rock collection that he insists has “feelings.”
