History Characters / BigHero6SycoraxAndAssociates

* ICantDoThisByMyself: Since no one believed in her project, Liv could count on nobody but herself, even when she accidentally committed her own death sentence with her experiment gone wrong. But since her days were counted, she took this literally a cloned herself so the clone could find a cure for her.

* MoralityPet: Appears to be the sole person Di cares about (though justified, since she's her creator). She's vulnerable when talking to her in the pod, and tells her she'd do anything for her. Considering how cruel and psychothic she is, Di is the most human around Liv and Liv alone.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Liv is absolutely shocked by what her clone did in order to cure her. She has to live with the fact she created this monster and deal with the consequences of the latter's actions.

-->'''Di''': [''after Liv turns Chris back to normal''] No! Liv, what are you doing?
-->'''Liv''': I'm doing the right thing.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Since she was out of time, her only solution to save herself was to make a clone. She DidntThinkThisThrough since the clone [[TheSociopath has no moral compass]] and commits horrific transmutations to save her life.

An esteemed biotech company founded by 23 year old scientist Liv Amara, whose goal is to study and improve the environment through bio-friendly and environmental means. After Obake's defeat, monsters start to appear around the city, whom Hiro directly linked to Sycorax's projects and Amara's public appearances.

* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: The Sycorax building has an eerie shape reminescent of a [=DNA=] structure, which makes the place look more sinister, especially at night.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Not literally an AI, but the same principle. [[spoiler: As a clone, "Di" was ''literally'' programmed with one purpose, the same way Chris was programmed to be the perfect assistant: her entire reason for being is to cure Liv. Her life has no other focus, and has no morals, no inhibitions and holds no restrictions towards that goal. Because of this, she goes completely off the rails and starts robbing people to fund research, kidnapping people to get that research done, and mutating people to ensure these goals are completed. By the time the real Liv wakes up, she's horrified at the sheer destruction her creation has wrought.]]

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: She is actually Diane, a clone made by the real Liv Amara to find a cure for her deadly condition. The real Liv Amara is in stasis while Diane impersonates her while trying to find a cure.]]

* TheBaroness: An attractive, sadistic CEO who's ready to everything to get to her ends.

* BeautyIsBad: Is an attractive 23 year old woman, and the main antagonist of the second season.

* ClonesArePeopleToo: [[spoiler: By the end of "City Of Monsters" Di is still alive and treated as her own person seperate from Liv as she is arrested.]]

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Obake stayed out of the spotlight, and predominantly utilized robotics in his schemes. Liv Amara, however, is a businesswoman who [[VillainWithGoodPublicity is beloved by the public]], and heavily prefers bio-engineering. Obake is mentally ill as a result of his growing brain tumour, but all the while refuses to have it treated, even seeing it as a blessing. [[spoiler:Diane on the other hand goes to great lengths to treat the real Liv's illness, and is what primarily drives her villainous actions.]] Obake is AffablyEvil who is genuinely civil and polite to both his subordinates and enemies, and even shows a display of empathy towards his own creation Trina and treats her like a daughter. Liv is FauxAffablyEvil whose relationships with others a merely a means to an end, with even her creation/assistant Chris being seen more of a pet than an actual person. The difference goes all the way down to how they treat their younger counterparts: Hiro and Karmi respectively. While Obake and Hiro are enemies, the former genuinely respects the latter and wishes for Hiro to be his protégé, and in his final moments goes his way to save Hiro's life. Karmi admires Liv and ''does'' become her protégée, but Liv is nothing more than a FalseFriend who has no qualms trying to have Karmi killed when she interferes with her plans. She's also, notably, instead of being an EvilCounterpart to Hiro, [[spoiler:is revealed to be one to Baymax]].

* EngineeredHeroics: Hiro publicly asks her what exactly her company does and why monsters seem to show up wherever she goes, and her company seems to benefit from them. In response, she creates the [[AdorableEvilMinions mayoi]] who wreak havoc in the city. She also creates a serum which can change the Mayoi back to their tiny, cute forms and helps Big Hero 6 defeat them, reinforcing her [[VillainWithGoodPublicity good publicity]] while Mr. Sparkles, who is controlling them, takes credit for all the monster attacks.

* EveryoneLovesBlondes: [[ExploitedTrope And Liv knows it.]] Liv is a blonde woman who's loved by the city due to her charisma, environment-friendly inventions and wanting to (supposedly) make the world a better place. Little do they know, it's a huge, ''huge'' façade, as Liv is a ruthless villain and a lying, manipulative psychopath who won't hesitate to break the law to get to her ends.

* ExactWords: Liv tells Hiro that "Liv Amara" is not responsible for the monsters, which [[LivingLieDetector Baymax]] determines to be the truth. This is because [[spoiler:the real Liv Amara is being kept in stasis because of an unidentified disease, while the Liv Amara we know is a clone created by the real Liv named Diane]].

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:The real Liv Amara got sick after testing parasynths on herself and the experiment went [[GoneHorriblyWrong horribly wrong]]. Out of time, Liv cloned herself so someone could save her. Di, the Liv clone, cares about her like her own sister and is ready to do ''anything'' to cure her. And since Liv's days were numbered, Di has not enough time on earth to have a moral compass and standards, thus explaining how cruel and insane she is.]]

* KickTheDog: That woman is a professional dog-kicker:

** She manipulates the friendless Karmi and [[FalseFriend fakes her friendship with her]] in order to use Karmi's inventions and participation (both unbeknownst to her) into her EvilPlan.
** She's makes it clear that she intends to cut Karmi loose the moment they learn that they need robotics knowledge to finish the cure, which Karmi doesn't have, all while still lying to her face. Noticeably, since Karmi's earnest drive to help leads her to work with Hiro and thus actually solves the problem, had Liv actually gone through with it, she would have been hurting herself in her callousness. What's worse, when Karmi does come to her with the solution, all Liv cares about is [[spoiler: her connection to Hiro (whom she had just found out is a member of [=BH6=]), and so she ignores the cure she has in favour of betraying Karmi and turning her into another monster.]]

* KnightTemplarBigSister: She's basically this towards [[spoiler: the real Liv Amara]]. She's determined to [[spoiler:saving her life]], and she causes the most cruel and amoral actions to get to this goal, caring about no one else but her. Inverted as in she's younger than her due to [[spoiler:being her clone]].

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Liv's character seems to have been inspired by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Holmes Elizabeth Holmes]], former CEO of Theranos, a health technology company. Not only does Liv shares a strong physical resemblance with her, she's also a young business woman who created her company at a young age (23 for Liv, 19 for Elizabeth) and was revealed to be a CorruptCorporateExecutive who showed a friendly and charismatic front to the medias while committing fraud behind people's backs. Her character could be seen as a TakeThat from Disney's behalf.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Di says she will go to ''any'' and ''every'' measure to cure the real Liv's rare condition that could not be cured. Problem is, she takes her "Progress at all Costs" mantra far too literally. There clearly were easier, less costly and more scrupulous ways to finding the cure, but Di was too callous and too proud to conceive of them, and doesn't mind mutating humans into monsters for funding]].

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: She is not the real Liv Amara, she's identical to the real one and impersonates her. "City of Monsters" confirms she was a clone created by the real Liv, who is named Diane]].

* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler: As Di points out to the disappointed Liv, she did what she was created to do. Liv programmed her to save her life; [[DidntThinkThisThrough she didn't program her to have moral considerations]].]]

* YoureInsane: Upon finding out that [[spoiler: Di was creating the monsters to fund her research,]] Hiro tells her, "This is... crazy!"

* ArtificialHuman: Was created by Amara to be her perfect assistant and bodyguard. In "City of Monsters", he says he's a mix of human, canine, gorilla and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers foodie, apparently.]]

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: They are the last Sycorax monsters to be introduced on the show, and also the ''ONLY ONES'' that were '''NOT''' created by Amara. They are also the only ones that were created by complete accident (in that case, by Fred). [[spoiler:And there's the fact they might have never existed at all due to the nature of Fred's nightmare.]]

* WouldHitAGirl: In "City of Monsters" he doesn't seem bothered to hit and throw [[spoiler: Monster Karmi]] around, despite her being a young girl.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: While it's clear that the Liv Amara we met so far is a cruel and vindictive [[TheSociopath sociopath]], the revelation that she wasn't the real Liv all along brings into mind just how much is the real Liv even aware of, much less involved, in the actions of her clone.

* PunnyName: "Liv" is for "live", and her clone Diane "Di" is for "die", which fits both of their moralities.

* CatchPhrase: Juniper's appears to be: "Mama, are we going back to jail?"

** JerkassRealization: He appears to have had one of these in jail, as of S3 he decides to drop his criminal ways ''AND'' becomes [[TookALevelInKindness way nicer than before]].

* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: She's the first female major villain, and shows herself to be much more morally corupt than Yokai and Obake combined.

* TeensAreShort: Averted with Juniper, who is taller than her mother and the tallest teenage character in the series as a whole.

* PutOnABus: Due to the "City of Monsters" arc being done with, ArcVillain Liv [[spoiler:/Di]] is arrested for her crimes, and so is Chris. We never saw them again.

* PutOnABus: Due to the "City of Monsters" arc being done with, ArcVillain Liv [[spoiler:/Di]] is arrested for her crimes, and so is Chris, and both will go to jail and it's unlikely we'll see them again.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Has a low-pitched, mellow voice tone for a 23 year old, hinting at her evil nature.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: The way she dismisses Di despite the loyalty she has towards her is extremely cold. But considering how vile Diane is and the horrible crimes she did and the lives she ruined, she got what was coming to her.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: He throws Yama into the police hands. ''Twice''.

* EasilyForgiven: Deconstructed in "A Fresh Sparkles". While doubtful of him, the team gradually seem to realize that Sparkles genuinely switched sides. Yet Honey Lemon, who's normally [[NiceGirl too nice]] [[NaiveEverygirl and naive]] when it comes to their enemies [[NoodleIncident (and let them escape without meaning to in the past)]], doesn't buy it in the ''slightest'' and is deadset on not letting him escape this time. On her guards and sure that he's a HeelFaceMole, Honey Lemon spies on Sparkles and makes him damn well know she doesn't forgive him or thinks he's honest. But when Mr. Sparkles gets kidnapped by Yama and returns something the latter stole at the museum, Honey Lemon sees he truly has changed and Sparkles now is on Big Hero 6's good side.

* LightIsGood: They're white and the TokenGoodTeammate{{s}} of Sycorax.

In response, she creates the [[AdorableEvilMinions mayoi]] who wreak havoc in the city.

* GoodColorsEvilColors: Sycorax is associated to the color [[GreenAndMean green]], fitting for an EvilCorp.

* TheUnintelligible: Contrary to Globby who is half-human, half BlobMonster, Nega-Globby is simply derived from Globby's gelatinous consistency, thus he only communicates in growls and roars.

* TheUnintelligible: To to being part-bear, Bessie communicates just like one; she can growl, roar and whine.

* EvilDoppelganger: [[spoiler: What the Liv Amara we met since "Big Problem" actually is. The ''real'' Liv Amara is an IllGirl and [[HumanPopsicle in stasis]] while the fake Liv, a clone named Diane, impersonates her and commits horrible experiments on humans while trying to find a cure to save her creator.]]

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:The real Liv Amara is an IllGirl who got sick after testing parasynths on herself and the experiment went [[GoneHorriblyWrong horribly wrong]]. Out of time, Liv cloned herself so someone could save her. Di, the Liv clone, cares about her like her own sister and is ready to do ''anything'' to cure her. And since Liv's days were numbered, Di has not enough time on earth to have a moral compass and standards, thus explaining how cruel and insane she is.]]

* IllGirl: She's seriously ill after experimenting on herself, and since no one believed in her, the only person that could help her was... herself. So she cloned herself (the Liv Amara we met since the beginning) and was put in stasis by the latter while her clone finds a cure.

* CryCute: When they [[TearsOfJoy cry of happiness]] when they reconcile at the end of "Big Hero 7".

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Though Liv has a deep sultry voice, acts very mature and has her own company, sometimes it's easy to forget she's only ''23 years old''. Taken UpToEleven when you actually realize [[spoiler: she's Liv Amara's clone, so she hasn't been "born" for more than a ''few months'']].

* SuperStrength: While he's already strong enough to punch through a robot without bleeding, once he's mutated, his muscles grow [[UpToEleven ten times as big]] and he can damage about anything. His strength presumably comes from the gorilla DNA he has.

* AscendedExtra: She had one minor appearance in a Season 1 episode. Here in Season 2, she's the BigBad and her personality (and the multiple ones she uses) are more developed.

* ChekhovsGunman: She debuts in "Big Problem" and other than a short cameo in the season 1 finale, she doesn't appear again until season 2, where she is the BigBad of the first arc.

* MakeUpIsEvil: She wears smokey eyeshadow and pink lipstick and is the second season's BigBad. She also wore heavy purple makeup prior to her villainous reveal in "Big Problem", which counts as foreshadowing.

* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: She's the first female BigBad, and shows herself to be '''''FAR WORSE''''' than Yokai and Obake combined.

* VilerNewVillain: She replaces Obake as the BigBad of the series, and surprisingly proves herself to be '''''far worse than him'''''.

* WalkingSpoiler: Twofold. [[spoiler: First, the woman we met in "Big Problem" [[ChekhovsGunman turns up again]] in season two as the BigBad of the first arc. Second, she is not who she says she is; even her very name is a lie.]]

* {{Foil}}: He appears to be one to Globby. Just like Globby, Chris is a henchman of the BigBad, who's simultaneously competent ''and'' FunPersonified. But while Globby committed a HeelFaceTurn and helped the team defeat Obake in the Season 1 finale, Season 2 has Chris being [[UndyingLoyalty loyal to Liv to the end]]. It's justified since he ''is'' Liv's creation, after all.

* PerkyFemaleMinion: A rare genderbend inversion. Liv is the female cruel BigBad, while Chris is her excitable, cheerful male minion.

* EvilDetectingDog: Well, monster. In his monster form, Knox tries to attack [[BigBad Liv]] and growls at her, since she is the cause of his mutation.

* RapunzelHair: Since she spent probably months in that pod, her hair grew to the end of her back.

* SkunkStripe: Barb has a light pink streak in her bangs, while Juniper's is light purple.

* PinkIsFeminine: Juniper's leggings are a bright pink, and Barb wears pink legwarmers the same color.

* MulticoloredHair: Their hair are various shades of bleached blondes with pink and purple streaks in their bangs.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Their half-human half-eel form turns their blonde hair blue. [[spoiler:They seem to keep these even as full-eel mutants.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has pink hair, apparently a toupee. [[spoiler: He grows green hair when he activates the powers Liv gave him.]]
