History Characters / CharybdisAcademy

* CatSmile: Well, ''duh.''

* SingleTargetSexuality: No matter how much he lusts after girls, Kade is pretty much Layla-sexual. So much that after becoming a girl temporally and showing interest in boys, Layla was the only girl he was interested in.

* NiceGuy: [[ZigzaggingTrope Zig-zagged.]] Kade initially qualified, during the comic's first three volumes which presented as quirky and well-meaning, despite his habit of repeatedly two-timing Layla. But by the extra stories, he's [[FalseFriend perfectly willing to lie]] [[NiceGuy to Ace]] about what happens to him during a full moon so he and Dio can [[BlackComedyRape take advantage]] of him.

* NiceGuy: He's a friendly fellow. While transformed, became a walking headache, but once the curse was removed, he's back to his old self, all over Layla and ignoring her {{tsundere}}-ish hissing.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Nina tolerates him primarily because he's cute, and (mercifully) uninterested in her, so she's spared his worst behaviors. Nobody else likes him much and by the time Nina takes him away even Nina isn't too sorry to see him gone.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: To girl-Ace. Despite repeatedly rejecting his advances, Kade remained undeterred and continued to pursue Ace regardless.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: To female Ace. Despite her lack of interest and explicitly pointing who she actually is, he remains completely clueless and continues to pursue her.

* AManIsAlwaysEager: This applies to Kade regardless whether he happens to be [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/the_ground_was_fine male]], or [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/lickably_hot female]], at the time. Which naturally leads to...

A dark-haired, childlike, demoness who first appears in Vol.3, when Cessily, Laura, and Nina try to summon Chloe back. She soon proves to be quite the troublemaker, is eventually revealed to be far more than she initially lets on....

* BroughtDownToBadass: The ''"Tia & Me"'' epilogue story finally sheds light on her background history. She was formally a [[spoiler: grand chaos demon of such power, that it took Artemis and Hecate's combined might to defeat her. It's implied that her sisters reduced her to her current childlike form]], as an added precaution. Despite their efforts, Tia has remained a competent mage, a master manipulator, and [[JerkassGenie a clever prankster.]] Made moreso, due to possessing near [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/right_about_something encyclopaedic level]] intellect.

* TheDreaded: '''Major Spoiler Warning:''' Her real name is [[spoiler: Dementia Oblivion, a former Grand Chaos Demon of such power that she threatened to warp all reality into pure insanity. It took both her sisters' combined might to stop her from doing it]].

** Subtly implied, when Tia referrs to Nina as, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/hot_cocoa_at_my_house "little one"]], despite appearing to be the same physical age.
** Confirmed at the conclusion of the ''[[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/tia-and-me-5-of-5 "Tia and Me"]]'' 5-part mini story, which reveals [[spoiler: Tia was once a Grand Chaos Demon, who was presumably reduced to child form, after her defeat]].

* EveryoneHasStandards: Blair lusts after most high-schoolers, but does not take advantage of Nina's "unique" mental state, finding her to be far too much of a KiddieKid. [[spoiler: It turns out he's the one stunting her growth, to avoid her maturing into Quintessa]]

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Lamia slaughtered [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/kitty scores of innocents]] and [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/most_cross_indeed! would-be heroes]] in her time, without remorse.

** But then, Kade [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/phone_numbers_and_twitters quickly]] learned to [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/my_girlfriend_-_mc_crossover_strip enjoy]] this. [[AnythingThatMoves Very much]]. He even managed to stay comfortable enough to joke about his reaction on Ash ''after'' turning back.

* IncompatibleOrientation: Despite prior implications of Layla possibly being bi-curious, she was later confirmed to be straight. Much to the disappointment of Layla/Brooke shippers.

* {{Bishonen}}: Certainly enough to make Layla forget about Kade, and make Chloe [[LoveMakesYouEvil turn evil]].

* ChaoticNeutral: Tia used to wield such immeasurable power, that she [[spoiler:had no desire ''for anything''. So she intended to warp all of reality into a realm of insanity, simply because she was bored]].

* CovertPervert: She has her moments, like how she used Ace's experiment to peek in the guys' shower room [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/smelly for "evidence".]] [[BlatantLies Honest.]]

* HomoeroticSubtext: In moments [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/this_is_not_so_bad like these]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/drive_the_boys_wild with Layla.]]

* PracticeKiss: Near the end of Nina's slumber party, she confided in Layla that she hadn't been kissed by a boy, because of her shyness, and [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_like_to_think_so asked Layla]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/the_spoils_of_war! to teach her how.]] The following day, Layla made good on her promise by giving Brooke [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/drive_the_boys_wild a kissing lesson]], since Brooke had given her some of her blood.

* ComingOutStory: Done in chapter 3, thanks to Nina [[MistakenForGay mistaking her sister as a lesbian]] and assuming Brooke was her girlfriend, when she caught them kissing (see the PracticeKiss entry). Before either them could explain, Nina ran off and told Cess and Laura about it, who set up a rally [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/pouting_in_a_tree in front of the entire school]][[note]]in order to humiliate Layla[[/note]].

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate. They can be used to motivate her and she can and will go out of her way for especially high-quality chocolate.

* [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe Because She Was Nice to Us]]: Nina befriended Laura to cheer her up, after she and Cessily split up. By the end of chapter 13, when Laura returns to normal, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/still_gonna_be_grumpy she thanks Nina for her kindness.]] [[spoiler: Which results in Cessily & Laura becoming friends with her.]]
* BreastExpansion / GagBoobs: Recently, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/whatever_you_say_layla both girls were given breasts]] by Chloe about the same size as Chloe had [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/my_next_plan before she reduced them]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/wanted_a_day_off thanks to the Doompanties]]. This was to get some A-list students to come to Chloe's in-school party [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey when the two girls invited them]].
** [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/happy_endings Sadly,]] when the Doompanties returned to their boxes, both girls were BroughtDownToNormal. Which leads to a DownerEnding as in their eyes [[TheBadGuyWins their opponents won.]]

* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn: Following the events of chapter 13.]]

* [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains]]: They usually foil themselves, often because their plans are either poorly thought out, or [[ZanyScheme just plain weird.]]

* ChristmasCake: According to the cast page, she's in her early 30's and appears to be single. But then, it isn't like she's looking to get involved with anyone either. She seems to be [[CelibateEccentricGenius married to her job.]]

** LovableAlphaBitch: In spite of her aloofness and snark, Layla's not so bad, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/lookit_me! once anyone gets to know her.]] Which is often seen in her interactions with Tiffany, with whom she's become best friends. She also helps Jeffrey to keep the school safe [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/sneezeweed by keeping humans from nosing around]], and also helps organize events at the school - as seen in the ''"Kissing Both"'' bonus story in the print edition of vol.1.

* DudeMagnet[=/=]EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Has a legion of male and female fans due to her confident persona and Brooke has expressed outright attraction to her on several occassions.

** DefrostingIceQueen: Her warmer side is mainly seen during [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/final_showdown her interactions]] [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/what_friends_do with Tiffany]], which reveal she isn't as standoffish as pretends to be, when she opens up. They've even become [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_am_your_best_friend best friends.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: She's self-centered, haughty and rude to pretty much everyone.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She really does love Nina. [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/d/20101103.html And]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/d/20110627.html Kade]]. And doesn't hold grudges much.

* TemptingFate: After setting her human friend, Tiffany, up on a date with her vampire ex, Dio, she has a CatapultNightmare after realizing what she's done, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/stake_me_with_a_jackhammer then asks the inevitable question.]]
** It happens again, during the "Art Scholarship" interlude strips, when she tells Melissa she has no chance of Brooke choosing her as the subject of her painting, versus her curvy perfection. Since Mel couldn't think of a comeback, she [[spoiler: zaps Layla with a spell, to take away her boobs! Melissa gives 'em back though... begrudgingly.]]

* ACupAngst: While she didn't obsess over it, like Nina, she ''did'' [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/premium_set used to be self-conscious about her breasts.]] Though she's gotten over it since she's started dating.

* AnIcePerson
* BuxomIsBetter: She seems more comfortable with having bigger breasts thanks to Tia now than she did when Chloe did it earlier.

* BuxomIsBetter:

* BreastExpansion: She briefly had it happen to her, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/boing here]], due to the [[ArtifactOfDoom Tiresias Orb]] acting on Blair's subconscious desire to change her and the rest of Charybdis to conform to his [[BuxomIsBetter his idea]] of the [[DumbBlonde "ideal woman".]]

* AttractiveBentGender: Becomes this in Chapter 0 due to Blair messing with the Tiresias Orb. Notorious girls-lover Kade tried to seduce him, and resident pervert Blair harassed him like any other attractive girl he met.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Towards Ace and briefly Kade. Both refuse to return the favor, because of her immaturity and the fact they see her more as a friend.

* SingleTargetSexuality: Short-lived crush on Kade aside, she only has eyes for Ace.
