“I sell aspirin and ghost pills. You want a receipt?”
Full Name: Phoebe Rose Wilburs
Alias(es): Phee (rare), Brutus’s Landlord, “The Grumpy One”
Occupation: Drugstore Cashier / Landlord (unpaid) / Medium (unofficial)
Voice Actor: Mai (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Debut: Episode 1: PILOT, An Angel Deal
Phoebe is a pale, visibly tired woman with wild, shaggy black hair that flares at the sides like static. Her baggy eyes give away her constant exhaustion, and her mouth naturally sits in a grumpy frown. She wears a dark olive short-sleeved tunic dress layered over an army-green undershirt, both of which are stitched and patched together haphazardly.
Her pants are faded and torn around the knees, and she wears beat-up white sneakers with black laces, mismatched and scuffed. Bandages and poorly sewn patches suggest she’s been through things she doesn’t talk about. The overall look screams “function over fashion”.. or maybe just “I’ve given up.”
Phoebe is a sarcastic, dry-humored woman who’s perpetually annoyed and always broke. Her tolerance for nonsense is thin, but unfortunately, her apartment is haunted by Brutus, who refuses to pay rent and haunts her fridge. Despite everything, Phoebe has a soft spot for him, though she’ll never admit it outright. She’s the only human who can interact with spirits and angels, and she somehow uses this ability to run an unofficial supernatural side hustle from behind the counter at her drug store.
While she comes off as bitter or indifferent, Phoebe is deeply sensitive, and emotional wounds, especially from her family, linger beneath the surface. She resents her parents’ judgmental behavior, hates being told how to live her life, and avoids forming attachments easily.
She’s the kind of person who rolls her eyes at ghosts but secretly leaves out a cup of tea for them.
Brutus Engel – (Ghost Roommate; Likes-ish)
Constantly annoyed by his dramatic antics but also feels protected by him. Their dynamic is comedic and bittersweet—he annoys her, but without him, she’d be lonely.
Everest Engel – (Dislikes)
Immediately disliked him. Described him as “weird dad energy with too many teeth.”
Ahelia Engel – (Likes)
Thinks Ahelia is gentle and too good for the rest of her family. Sometimes vents to her like she’s a therapist.
Rachel Engel – (Neutral)
Doesn’t talk to her much. Thinks she might be hiding something. Suspicious but not hostile.
Hailea Wilburs – (Mother, Dislikes)
Judgmental and belittling. Phoebe often avoids her calls and pretends her phone is dead.
Mark Wilburs – (Father, Dislikes)
Constantly pesters Phoebe to “settle down.” She once texted him a picture of Brutus and said, “Here’s my boyfriend. He’s dead.”
Spirit Vision: Can see ghosts, demons, angels, and other spirits naturally.
Spiritual Pharmacy: Somehow sells medication to the dead. No one knows how it works. Not even her.
Sarcasm Mastery: Weaponized eye-rolling and deadpan delivery.
Sleeps With Her Eyes Open: Due to stress and Brutus’s late-night rambling.
Phoebe is lactose intolerant but keeps forgetting and eating cheese.
Wears the same patched apron every day because she “only needs one.”
Learned how to hotwire vending machines.
Once fought a ghost raccoon in her sleep.
She keeps a salt circle around her cat’s food bowl just in case.
Actually has a beautiful singing voice, no one’s heard it but Brutus.
Keeps unpaid rent notes pinned to Brutus’s wing.
“I’m not saying I hate you. I’m saying if you vanished, I’d sleep better.”
“Yeah, I see dead people. They don’t tip.”
“Brutus, put down the toaster. That’s not a weapon.”
“No, Mom. I don’t want a boyfriend. I want peace.”
“The angels are back. Great. I’ll get the bleach.”
“You want aspirin or the ghost version?”
“Being a landlord to a seraphim wasn’t on my bingo card this year.”
