Noodle started off Phase 1 at ten years old. She mainly played the guitar, but also provided vocals for the debut album, most notably in the single 19-2000. In numerous idents and music videos alike, it became obvious that Noodle was talented at much more than just music. She is also proficient at martial arts. During this phase, she could not speak English yet except and had her own personal translator named Alan. As such, during interviews, she would often talk exclusively in Japanese (as shown in The Apex Tapes), and in the rare occasion in which she spoke in English it would consist mostly of slang, interjections, catchphrases or repeats of what the other band members were saying.

Murdoc has been frequently depicted as the perpetrator of constant abuse towards Gorillaz bandmate 2-D, although this abuse appears to have stopped (or, at the very least, greatly reduced) in recent years following his incarceration in late 2017. Murdoc's personality can be defined by pride, depravity, sadism, cynicism, and misanthropy, and he's been shown to be consistently rude and sarcastic towards the people around him. He is perpetually angry and bitter and often takes it out on his peers. Murdoc has an off-colour sense of humour and has displayed a tendency towards controversial behaviour.

2-D has consistently been depicted as a soft and gentle person, the kind who "would never hurt a fly", but also as extremely passive and easily distracted, being often described (mostly by Murdoc) as behaving akin to a lobotomized person (though he has never actually got one).

A "hip-hop hard man" from Brooklyn, New York, Russel draws upon spooky spirit mates to help guide his beats. The spirits that live within Russel's hulking frame pop out every so often to provide some undead rapping. Russel himself is well adjusted, with an enviable wardrobe. Very polite, educated and is a great musician. Without Russel, Gorillaz couldn't survive: he's the safety net, the linebacker, and the true defender. People love his solid safety and solid credentials. Multiple trainer owners and have a vast appetite. (copied this from the wiki page)
