Bob's Burgers Character Guide

Linda Belcher is Bob's happy-go-lucky and supportive wife of Bob and the mother of Tina, Gene, and Louise. Before her marriage to Bob, she was engaged to Hugo, who is now a local health inspector. In the season 5 episode "Eat, Spray, Linda" she turned 44 years old. She has also referred to herself as a "pre-middle-aged mother".
Like her husband and kids, she has dark, black hair and olive skin. She typically wears a coral-pink long-sleeved top, navy-blue jeans, beige flats with the white socks peeking out, and a pair of thin-framed, red glasses. She sometimes wears an apron around her jeans. Her black hair is flipped in with flip curls.
Linda's attraction to Bob is in part due to his passion for his work, and also due to his mustache. She remains a loyal and devoted wife despite their frequent financial problems, and never having had a honeymoon or a day off in 10 years. She has a preference for mustaches, and says Bob made himself ugly when he shaved it off.
Her passions include singing, dinner theater, porcelain baby figurines, Tom Selleck, nautically themed romance novels, and prenatal yoga. She handles the accounting for the restaurant, though her bookkeeping methods are overly complicated.
Linda is extroverted, has a thick New York accent, and is fond of tackling problems using unconventional methods, though her methods are frequently over-optimistic and things sometimes go awry. She often encourages her kids to engage in behavior that Bob finds annoying, and though she wants what's best for her kids, she tends to be scatter-brained. Bob has described her as a pushover because she allows people to take advantage of her. She has a contentious relationship with Louise and often misunderstands her, even once organizing a slumber party for Louise against her will. She is a talented lyricist, as shown in "Lil Hard Dad". She has a tendency to spontaneously burst into song.
