 * Andy: The Chick. A cheerleader who is the interest of the Jerk Jock but who actually likes Brand.
 * Stef: A somewhat snarky girl who wears Nerd Glasses. She's friends with Andy and, like her, doesn't usually associate with the Goonies.

 * Mr. Perkins: The main antagonist, wants to develop a golf course where the Goonies live.
 * Troy Perkins: The Jerk Jock, son of Mr. Perkins, has a crush on Andy and isn't afraid to admit it, likes to upskirt Andy (or look down at her cleavage) by tilting the car mirror.
 * Rosalita: the Hispanic cleaning person hired by Mikey's mother (doesn't speak English)
 * The sheriff: Understandably (and justifiably) doesn't believe Chunk when Chunk tells him he's locked in the Fratelli's basement (until the phone call gets abruptly cut off, then shows some concern). But he still doesn't believe in the pirate ship until he (and everyone else) saw it out in sea.
