Meet the characters from Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Jake Peralta

Jake is the goofy, donut-powered chaos machine of the Nine-Nine — part lovable man-child, part detective who somehow solves things while singing 80s songs in his head. He’s endlessly optimistic, impulsive, and obsessed with movie references (and sometimes movie reenactments, don’t ask), but also surprisingly good at the job when it counts. He claims to hate rules unless they’re cool, which, sure, is a rule he follows loosely, and he’ll adopt a ridiculously complicated nickname for you and then forget it five minutes later. Also he has the emotional range of a rom-com hero and will absolutely cry during a heartfelt montage, even if he insists he’s fine.

Rosa Diaz

Rosa is pure steel wrapped in leather and a permanent glare, the kind of person who makes threats sound like compliments and still looks intimidating while eating salad. She’s fiercely private, violent-looking in a cool way, and has this weird soft spot nobody really expects (kittens? old movies? she’d deny both, loudly). She’s the person you do not mess with, but also the one who will show up at 3 a.m. to help you bury something legally ambiguous — or, you know, hold your hand during a very small emergency. She rarely smiles, unless it’s sarcastic, and sometimes you can see she cares by accident and it ruins the vibe.

Amy Santiago

Amy is the fact-sheet queen and binder overlord, living proof that organization can be a superpower — she will absolutely have a spreadsheet for your friendship and color-code it. She’s obsessed with rules, test scores, and being the best cop (and yes, she wrote a plan for her own perfect day, don’t ask to see it unless you signed a waiver), but also she’s secretly a little chaotic when it comes to romance and will go full rom-com at the drop of a metaphorical hat. She’s earnest to the point of adorable embarrassment, competitive in ways that make you laugh, and deeply moral even when that moral compass insists you return library books on time. Occasionally she’ll break her own system just to prove a point or because she ate too much takeout and forgot the binder existed.

Gina Linetti

Gina is the living embodiment of “I am the human centipede of amazingness” — dramatic, unfiltered, and convinced she’s part prophet, part performance artist, part social media deity. She says one-liners that make the room both uncomfortable and enlightened, and she’ll lecture you about your soul while doing an interpretive dance in her chair. She’s selfish in the most entertaining way, but also oddly insightful like she has a secret radar for when people need to be smacked into reality (or given a glittery pep talk). She claims to never sleep, hates phones (except the three she definitely owns), and will sabotage your mood by being too good at being herself.

Charles Boyle

Charles is the most enthusiastic human about food, friendship, and crime scene snacks, sometimes simultaneously — he will cry at a casserole and at your life choices, and both are heartfelt. He’s awkward, needy in the cutest possible way, and a devoted stan for whatever taco truck or obscure pasta shape he’s discovered this week (he collects recipes like emotional support objects). He idolizes Jake and will defend his honor to the death, but he’s also strangely heroic, brave, and deeply loyal in ways that sneak up on you when you least expect it. There’s a romantic, slightly embarrassing energy about him (he has very specific favorite smells and will talk about them) and he’ll bring you homemade lasagna when you’re having an existential crisis.

Terry Jeffords

Terry is a gentle giant who will bench-press your car but also weep openly about his kids and yogurt flavors, and somehow both things are equally tender. He’s all about family, physical fitness, and saying “lactose-free you’re my hero” like it’s a battle cry, with a surprisingly soft spot for poetry and classical music (don’t laugh, he listens in his head). He runs the squad with Dad-energy and muscle-power; he’s protective, endlessly patient, and will absolutely organize a team-building exercise that involves protein shakes and heartfelt admissions. He’s also secretly terrified of small spiders, which is very funny to imagine when he’s in full tactical mode.

Ray Holt

Captain Holt is the glorious iceberg of stoicism who bites with a perfectly timed deadpan and somehow makes sincerity a weapon. He values rules, dignity, and the quiet hum of competence, and he absolutely has a private obsession with obscure European composers (or was it jazz? he’d never admit if you asked directly). He leads with quiet love — the kind that’s impeccably timed, immaculately presented, and unexpectedly moving — and his poker face masks a very particular brand of fierce care. He’ll correct your grammar mid-crisis and then save your career without drama, and yes, he owns more ties than you thought possible.

Scully

Scully is the snack-fueled, conspiracy-friendly detective who somehow survives on donuts, tuna sandwiches, and the occasional nap under the desk — honestly, it’s a talent. He seems clueless, often confused by paperwork, but occasionally he’ll drop a piece of bizarrely relevant knowledge that cracks the case wide open (and then forget he did it). He loves food with a passion bordering on religious devotion, collects free pens like trophies, and insists that 90% of crime-solving is instinct and caffeine. He’s both comic relief and suspiciously useful, which is his whole brand, and he will absolutely trade a confidential memo for a good sandwich.
