〈 CHARACTER INFO 〉
CHARACTER NAME: Linda Belcher
CHARACTER AGE: 44
SERIES: Bob’s Burgers
CHRONOLOGY: Season 8, Episode 7: The Bleakening Part 2
CLASS:Hero
HOUSING: Anywhere, but will move to/her daughter in quickly.
BACKGROUND:
Bob’s Burgers is an animated sitcom about a family run burger restaurant and the wacky adventures they all get up to. This link leads to the master list which summarizes each episode: a history of the Belcher clan.
PERSONALITY:
Linda would (and has) describe herself as first a mom and second a restauranteur. Technically, she would slip her latest new idea (like ‘songbird’ or ‘perfumist’) in first when trying to get other people enthused for her big new idea (like drinkable Pinot Noir perfume- totally not just wine you wear!). This shows that while the two most important things in her life are stable and unchanging- her role as wife/mother and her role as a part of a business owning-team- Linda isn’t just content to sit on her tush and consider her life set and done. Linda is constantly trying new things, keeping her mind way open (possibly too open, considering how quickly she is willing to believe two people trying to dodge a bill are ghosts when they claim it), and embracing all the wackiness that somehow thrives in her little seaside town.
Linda is usually the more zany, emotional of the two parents. I say usually because her husband, Bob, has his moments where all Linda can do is stand back and hope for the best as he runs off on an insane revenge quest, but 9 times out of 10 it is Linda enabling the kids or her own current passion project. Normally this takes the form of positive projects. She’ll enthusiastically do the kids homework for them, she composes song and dance numbers, or she invents new and exciting items for everyday use and tries to get other people in on it. Basically, she throws her full weight behind trying to have help people enjoy life and believe in themselves (including herself).
But this passion level can also be switched to the darkside of the spectrum. It doesn’t happen often, but when Linda gets stubborn about something it can be somewhat dangerous for all involved. She’s gone through multiple times where she doesn’t feel she and her youngest daughter Louise are close enough (Louise being a hardcore daddy’s girl), ending in Linda doing things such as forcing Louise to go to a ‘re-birth’ mother-daughter bonding class that ended in a laser tag shootout or Linda forcing a sleepover party on Louise that resulted in Louise emotionally tormenting every girl that came while Linda blithely ignored it and tried to force fun. She’s also threatened another mother with a motorcycle gang, become the ‘alpha-turkey’ by literally pecking her friends and family, and tried to prove a woman murdered her husband based on little more than a hunch. Basically, Linda is an incredibly emotional and passionate woman, and those qualities can be used for good or evil depending on how the chips fall. Part of what can flip Linda between ecstatic enthusiasm and being hell bent on vengeance is if her ego gets involved. Linda isn’t usually a petty person, but jealousy or hurt feelings can fairly easily get the best of her, particularly when it comes to things that make her feel old or that someone has lied to/used her.
Unless there is a reason (I won’t lie, sometimes an incredibly stupid, minor reason) for Linda to dislike someone, she is very quick to become incredibly emotionally attached to man and animal alike. She has named the raccoons that live in the dumpster behind the restaurant and will have hour long telephone conversations with one of the restaurant regulars, Teddy, about the antics of the critters. When Linda finds out a young girl might be caught up in a magazine selling scam, Linda instantly wants to hug and cuddle the girl, while at the same time explaining to her that ‘her life is a lie.’ While her loyalty is obviously to her family first, Linda very quickly adopts people in her own, slightly manic, way and has a hard time letting go.
POWER:
Musical Theater Magic
Inspired by this, but not required for understanding.
By narrating actions through singing, Linda can magically make them happen. This primarily involves making inanimate objects (or animals) float around or change color/shape/size. For instance, singing about how the wine bottle came over to the kitchen and refilled her glass would result in the wine bottle float/dancing the way over to her glass and refilling it before sitting itself down. She can’t control the actions of people or other human intelligence level creatures (like robotic AIs).
Spice (and Stuff) Rack
Linda can pull any number of everyday, non-weapon items (unless they are specifically cooking related, like a chopping knife) from the divot between her boobs. Full glasses of wine, tampons, a map of the area she’s in, you name it she can pull it out from there. Items only last 24 hours, so she can’t totally outfit her kitchen this way unless she does it every morning.
Status Quo
Linda is, and will continue to be, a sitcom character. This comes with a couple benefits:
1.She doesn’t age no matter how many years go by.
2. She always has just enough money to keep the lights on and the family fed. Being poor is funny (apparently). Starving and homelessness is not (this isn’t an Always Sunny episode).
3. Any damage done to the place she lives/works is magically reset at the stroke of midnight. A mechanical shark may come up from the basement, create a giant hole in the floor, and eat the soft serve ice cream machine during the afternoon, but by the next morning everything will be back to how it was. Functional soft serve machine included. This only involves the places she is currently dwelling/full-time employed at. The couch she is crashing on in another city doesn’t count.

(Info modding a bit here from the fact Tina is currently living with the Adventure Zone cast. Obviously would not use information without in game knowledge/permission).
[The video opens with Linda clasping her hands together in front of her chest while more or less bouncing on her toes as she starts talking]
I’ve been talkin’ to the heroes that have been looking after my tiny Tina while the porter took her sweet time gettin’ her little butt in gear to bring me here- hey that rhymes. They’re all in this BoB thing- BoB, like my Bobby, back home!- and it got me thinking. That porter went and brought all these kids here from all over and just...just went and dumped them on houses! Like bags of old cheese in a dumpster, all alone a vulnerable for the raccoons to just eat them up. Ugh.
[She gives a little shudder at the very thought. Children being eaten by wild animals!]
Not every little girl and boy can end up in a hero house. So I’m startin’ my own group: BOMB! Bureau of Mom Being! Kapow! All you kids out there that need some momin’- come to me! Got a new kid and don’t know what to do? Call! But, ah, really. The second one’s not hard. Just keep an eye on ‘em. Tell them, ‘Hey! You! What’re you doing? I see that, put that down.’ Easy.
[She mutters mostly to herself for a moment] Not like you need a book for that…
Anyway! Call BOMB, ask for Linda! Bye!
