History Characters / ANightmareonElmStreet

* WomenAreWiser: She's shown to be the most levelheaded of the initial trio, to the point she knows how to willingly enter a dream state on her own and is smart enough to wake herself up before Freddy can get his hands on her. [[spoiler:It's why she's the only survivor of the kids.]]

* AfraidOfBlood: He's notoriously squeamish around blood in real life, which Greta teases him about since his comics are so gory. {{MechanicallyUnusualFighter This actually saves Mark's life}}. After Freddy's first attempt to kill him leaves Mark with several cuts on his hands. Upon seeing how bloody his hands are, Mark faints in the dream sending him back to the waking world. [[spoiler: Freddy works around it by turning him into a drawing.]]

This actually saves Mark's life after Freddy's first attempt to kill him leaves Mark with several cuts on his hands. Upon seeing how bloody his hands are, Mark faints in the dream sending him back to the waking world.

* DeathByIrony: He's a sleepwalker who makes marionette puppets. [[spoiler:Freddy kills him by puppeteering his body via his own intestines as if he were sleepwalking and making him walk off the building.]]

* TookALevelInJerkass: In her first scene, Sims is friendly with Neil, speaks encouragingly about their new coworker (Nancy), and shows some sympathy for the kids (although she does consider putting Kincaid in isolation permanently). In her following scenes, she's a lot more cold and condescending to both her colleagues and her patients.

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:She last appears having Kristen sedated and dragged into the Quiet Room, with no indication Simms ever paid for her actions allowing Freddy to claim other victims]].

** This is made more explicit in the third movie (''Dream Warriors''). While more experienced than Freddy's other victims, she is also the only Dream Warrior without any actual dream powers. Nevertheless, she asserts herself as the leader without question [[spoiler:and damages Freddy enough to set up him for his defeat]].

* ArchEnemy: She becomes the most powerful of the Elm Street heroines as the [[GoodCounterpart Dream Master]] and the one whom Freddy legitimately loathes and fears the most. She's the only one whom [[spoiler:made it difficult for him to come back. Once she killed him in ''Dream Master'' he had to find another way to invade dreams as she was too powerful for him to overcome directly. He spends the majority of ''Dream Child'' taunting Alice through murdering her boyfriend and friends, but can't actually do anything to her because he could end up harming Jacob in the process.]] She is also the only one capable of really pushing his BerserkButton to the point of dropping his sick sense of humor and taking her seriously as an enemy.

* AssholeVictim: Subverted, as he is heavily implied to be a rapist.
