* HateSink: He is a ineffectual and paranoid officier that had done far more damage to the island than he tried to stop, having his officers cut down the remaining tress on the island to ward off birds, and even killing Birdboy's father just because he assumed he was smuggling drugs. If that weren't bad enough, he chases after BirdBoy for the majority of his life in an attempt to kill him, causing him to get shunned by society, and making BirdBoy the broken-down mess he is. When his recruit finally kills BirdBoy, he gloats about it, despite said recruit clearly feeling guilty about it.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the original short, Dinky was much more rude toward her stepfather and mother, even though in that case they were at worst less passive-aggressive. In particular, her sore spot was the stepfather's claim of being ''her'' dad, even recasting several memories of the deceased father as his own. In the movie, Dinky is distant but rarerly acerbic and more resigned to her family's criticisms.

* FallenOnHardTimesJob: He didn't became a drug dealer just for fun. Most of the fish in the island are dead and gone; to even scrape some living, he had to get creative. The fact Birdboy, his sole seen customer, owes him a lot of money which he simply ineffectively tries to remind him to pay shows just how unfit he is for the role of "pusher".

* BullyMagnet: While it never excuses any of his mistreatment, Little Fox is often shown to be way too soft and innocent for the world around him, all the more easier for him to be labeled as a target.
* ButtMonkey: Easily the most unfortunate and abused of the core trio. As his first scene demonstrates, he's a prime target for the school bullies with Sandra needing to step in to save him (nevermind how often she has to resist the impulse to harm him as well). [[spoiler:In the film's climax, as the group is brought in as prisoners of the Forgotten Children, on top of getting a shiner, the group's leader decides he will be the one most likely to be sacrificed before Birdboy comes to their rescue.]]

* OnlySaneByComparison: She's got her own baggage but out of the group, she's the only one who's mostly okay. Sandra has her episodes, Little Fox is too meek, Zacharias has become a drug dealer and Birdboy is sane but not emotionally stable.

* TroubledChild: Granted, most of her peers smoke as well; yet in the prequel short, Dinky is shown as cheerfully walking with her father to school without a hint of her smoking, implying she started shortly after the factory's destruction and her father's death.


Added DiffLines:

* HearingVoices: Frequently has little demons appear on her shoulders telling her to hurt others, especially Little Fox, something she doesn't want to do. At one point, they tell her to push him off a cliff he's standing nearby.
