Meet the characters from Loki

Loki

Oh man, Loki is a walking mess of charm and catastrophic decision-making and honestly it’s why we love him. He’s a trickster with a poet’s soul and an ego the size of a planet, but also somehow quietly tender in tiny, inconvenient moments (like when he’s absolutely not admitting he cares). He flits between arrogance and wounded kid energy so fast your head spins — he’s clever, dramatic, and will absolutely monologue when the mood strikes. Also, random fact: he probably collects scarves? No, wait, crowns. Both.

Mobius

Mobius is the kind of calm, dad-joke-y detective who asks the right question and then smiles like he already knew the answer — and yet he’s emotionally invested in every case, which is kind of illegal for TVA bureaucracy. He’s patient, analytical, and weirdly fond of donuts (or he says he’s not but then eats them anyway), and he finds Loki’s chaos equal parts exhausting and fascinating. He’s got this soft, weary optimism that somehow makes him do all the heavy lifting while cracking light jokes to keep things human. Also, he’ll bore you with comic book metaphors at 2 a.m. if it helps a suspect open up.

Ravonna Renslayer

Ravonna is regal, icy, and terrifyingly composed, like someone who’s always one heel click away from passing judgement — and she probably keeps a tiny gavel in her purse, I’m not joking. She is a consummate enforcer of the rules but you can see guilt and doubt simmering under that perfect coiffure; she’s both courtroom goddess and a person with very fragile secrets. There’s a tragic, almost romantic seriousness to her choices, and she executes them with the precision of a chessmaster who hates losing. Also, she sometimes smiles like it’s a mistake — and then she acts like she meant to.

Hunter B-15

B-15 is straight-up no-nonsense, all grit and principle, the kind of person who will read you the law and then punch you for disobeying it (metaphorically? maybe literally). She’s tough as nails, fiercely loyal to what she believes is right, and somehow has a soft spot for small acts of kindness that she pretends not to notice. She’s great in a crisis, the person you want standing in the doorway yelling orders, but she also carries private doubts that peek out at awkward times — like humming to herself when she thinks no one’s listening. Fun contradiction: she’s both absolutely certain and deeply confused about what “right” even means, which is kind of the whole point.

The Variant

The Variant (you know who) is all fire and vengeance and buried tenderness — terrifyingly resourceful and also heartbreakingly human when you catch her off guard. She’s been running on rage for years but there’s a meticulous, almost tender side to how she plans things, like someone who paints every detail before breaking it all down. She’s charismatic in a blunt, dangerous way, and she’ll lure you in with a smile and then completely rewrite your priorities. Also, small weird thing: she seems to love old-fashioned music one minute and wants to blow up timelines the next — mood swings, but make them epic.

Florence Schaffner

Okay, Florence is one of those background TVA folks who you notice more than you should — efficient, quietly terrified, and borderline obsessed with filing things correctly (she probably alphabetizes feelings too). She’s bureaucratic to her core but has little flashes of personality, like a bad joke about time-travel paperwork or a misplaced fondness for pens she shouldn’t keep. She seems minor but she adds texture to the TVA — the kind of person who remembers your onboarding date and your coffee order and then vanishes in a way that makes you feel guilty. Weird little fact: I’m almost sure she once quoted a sitcom during a purge announcement? Maybe.
