Employees and Departments
The Weekly Brahma employs many crack reporters, journalists and other support staff who make the newspaper function.

Dr. Lola Alotta
Lola is the main draw for The Weekly Brahma, her advice column "Ask Dr. Lola" is the most popular feature of the weekly publication. Lola draws her material from letters that readers send in. While she can be harsh, this merely reflects the honest approach she uses in her dealings with daily life.

Lola is also one of the paper's "flagship" reporters, often sent out with a partner to acquire a major story. She maintains good relations with all the other reporters. Lola is sought after by two other employees, resident pretty-boy, Bret Cuteguy and the less than pretty boy, Emmitt Neverend.

This character returned in the 2021 version of the story playing a similar role with the same name and only a minor character redesign.

Pegs Knowsalot
Pegs is the paper's political, social and economic affairs correspondent. Her "beat" includes elections, social media, money matters and the most serious of issues. Pegs maintains a love/hate relationship with Little Alexandra.

Pegs is rather "up tight" and prone to loud outbursts laced with frustration, usually at things Little Alexandra does both accidentally and on purpose. She is the most serious of all the reporters.

Pegs takes herself extremely seriously and enjoys challenging stories and assignments. It is also assumed she has a crush, or at least an extreme admiration for Managing Editor, Robert Seagull.

This character returned in the 2021 version as Peggy O'Shea, most of here characteristics remain the same including her rivalry with Little Alexandra.

Little Alexandra
Little Alexandra operates a unique section of The Weekly Brahma known as The World According to Alexandra. This page features Little Alexandra's musings as well as a Best Friends of the Week segment and animal stories.

Pegs often criticizes Little Alexandra for doing interviews with what Pegs considers ridiculous subjects, such as Pikachu and other cartoon-ish characters. That said, Little Alexandra once caused confusion and frustration to Pegs when, during a political debate, she mistook presidential candidate Bernie Sanders for Colonel Harlan Sanders of the Kentucky Friend Chicken fame. Pegs was not amused.

This character returned in the 2021 version as Alexandra Sevilla. Her character was utilized in Origins, but was not seen in The Prisoner Agenda.
