!! Rona Lalonde

* AbusiveParents: Actually subverted, according to WordOfGod. Mrs. Lalonde is well-intentioned, but wasn't prepared for a daughter and doesn't know how to raise her. As with the source material, a lot of her abuse and neglect is actually due to Rose's warped perception of her mother and Rona's exasperation with their passive-aggressive spats.
* TheAlcoholic
* BrokenPedestal: To Rose, big time.

!! "Bro" Strider
* AdultChild
* HiddenDepths: While he's built up as a reprehensible toolbox for most of the AU, it's hinted here and there that he feels guilty over what the separation is putting Dave through, and does recognize on some level that he's an unfit parent.
* LethalChef: His meals are inedible slop cobbled together from whatever's lying around, which is why Dave got into the habit of stashing food wherever he went.
* ParentalNeglect: Leaves Dave home alone for hours or even days at a stretch, convinced that the kid can take care of himself.
* ReallyGetsAround: Makes his living through homemade porn, both puppet-related and traditional. And that's not counting his lengthy series of girlfriends.

* BerserkButton: Lots of things can set Sollux off when he's on a downswing, but he goes nuclear whenever someone brings up Aradia to him, as Karkat found out the hard way.



* FangThpeak: He has a pretty severe lisp.

to:

* FangThpeak: He has a pretty severe lisp.lisp, partly due to having a ''second row of teeth'' on the roof of his mouth.
* FreakOut: When Karkat pointed out, with his [[BrutalHonesty usual tact and civility]], how Sollux's relationship with Aradia came off as dangerously codependent, Sollux bloodied Karkat's nose and tried to bodyslam through the nearest (locked) window before being sedated.

* MommyIssues: Probably only rivaled by Rose's. A good deal of Karkat's identity and temperament issues can be traced back to his emotionally abusive relationship with his mother(for starters, it's hinted that he smothers all emotions save incandescent rage because otherwise his feelings would be used as proof that he's "something [he's] not"). Eventually his mother seems to make efforts towards getting her own temper under control, which only mires Karkat deeper in self-loathing for not being able to improve himself accordingly.

* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Equius.



* BrokenAce: She was at least on the verge of becoming one - rich, intelligent, and accomplished, but full of hidden insecurities, parental ambivalence, and substance abuse issues. Unusually for the trope, she's actually getting help.

\n* {{Megane}}: Unlike his canonical counterpart (who eventually fell into FourEyesZeroSoul territory), Eridan here is a shy dorky nerd, although he does have a bit of a dark side.

* HairTriggerTemper
* HatesBeingTouched

to:

* HairTriggerTemper
HairTriggerTemper: As in canon, but unlike in canon it's treated a genuine disorder. He's so mired in free-floating aggression and self-hate that he can't function, directing his rage either outward (and getting into fights he can't win) or inward (where it tears him up and flattens his self-esteem).
* HatesBeingTouchedHatesBeingTouched: As Gamzee discovered, to the dismay of both. One story demonstrates that Karkat doesn't much like seeing ''others'' touched against their will, either.



* JerkWithAHeartOfGold

to:

* JerkWithAHeartOfGoldJerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may be blunt, tactless, abrasive, vocally opposed to social interaction and have a nitro-glycerine temper, but beneath all the yelling he's a deeply compassionate guy, tuned in with the emotional states of people he cares for, wanting to see them happy, and tragically convinced his presence just gets in the way.

Aradia. It wasn't always platonic, but they mutually agreed that it wasn't working out.



* BewareTheNiceOnes: Generally extremely affable. But when he returned Karkat's opening punch, he knocked the kid flat and left a black eye that didn't fade for two weeks. ''Something'' prompted learning to hit like that.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: In his mermaid Halloween costume. He mentions that he enjoys modeling for Kanaya, which suggests that he doesn't pay much attention to gender conventions when he gets a chance to dress up.
