* PaintItBlack: the image above only shows William in his X.A.N.A. outfit. You can tell this trope happened if you look at his [[http://codelyoko.wikia.com/wiki/File:William23.jpg first]] [[http://codelyoko.wikia.com/wiki/File:Williamlyoko.jpg outfit.]]

[[caption-width-right:200:[[SixthColumn You sexy idiot.]]]]

A transfer student exiled to Kadic Academy in Season 2 for spamming love notes. His primary function during the first half of his tenure was to act as a RomanticFalseLead for Yumi and lampshade Ulrich's [[CannotSpitItOut inability to spit it out]] in the process. William's assistance in foiling several of XANA's schemes on the real-world side proved critical late in Season 2 and into Season 3, though, and after he confided to the Team that [[PsychicDreamsForEveryone he was starting to dream about elements of his adventures that should've been erased with the Return to the Past]], the Lyoko Warriors reluctantly (but unanimously) took him on as their newest member. [[SixthColumn It went downhill from there.]] [[NotHimself Mind-controlled by XANA]] (and [[HulkSpeak stripped of his higher vocabulary in the process]]), William spends the majority of Season 4 as the Lyoko Warriors' most consistent virtual threat. [[IGotBetter He gets better]], but the show ends two episodes later.

* SixthRanger → SixthColumn

* TheNicknamer -- He's the one that names all the monsters (the names are even complete with XtremeKoolLetterz).

* CampStraight

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange (in the prequel)

* InstantCosplaySurprise -- Again, in the prequel:
-->I don't dream about giant purple cats!

* TheBigGuy: Subverted, as he's the shortest.

* EstrogenBrigadeBait

* MeaningfulName -- Odd (no wonder why he's so, well, odd)

* {{They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich}}: He ''hates'' this trope; he spends the entirety of the episode "Tidal Wave" complaining about not eating.
* XtremeKoolLetterz

Daughter of Kadic Academy principal Jean-Pierre Delmas. She can have practically any boy at school -- but she wants Ulrich, who'd rather have nothing to do with her despite (or maybe because) [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend they'd known each other since childhood]]. To separate Ulrich from Yumi ([[JustFriends not that they're actually together, honest]]), Sissi makes a variety of attempts to undermine the almost-but-not-quite-{{Nakama}} bonds of friendship between the Lyoko Warriors. These often manifest as attempts to administratively separate them through her power as a one-girl AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil or the use of blackmail material to buy her way into the group. Either way, she has the potential to sow a greater division than XANA himself. The prequel two-parter "XANA Awakens" reveals that she had initially been in on the Lyoko Warriors' secret, but her memories of the Supercomputer's activation were wiped with a Return to the Past because she notified her father due to thinking her friends were in danger and a misunderstanding of betrayal occured. [[ShipTease Hints dropped]] from late Season 2 and through Season 4 seem to reinforce {{Fanon}} that Sissi could be perfectly content with Odd -- so long as she doesn't realize it's a Bohemian like him that she connects with.

* ShipTease (with Odd)

* ViewerGenderConfusion

* {{Die for Our Ship}}: He was ''despised'' by most fans for getting in the way of Ulrich and Yumi's relationship ([[WillTheyOrWontThey not that]] [[UnresolvedSexualTension they]] [[TwiceShy needed]] [[CanNotSpitItOut the help]]). A few defected after Season 4, but he is still largely a disliked character.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Clone William is very popular with the fans.

* TheBrainlessBeauty: Or so she comes across; she's actually smarter than she seems.

* DemotedToExtra: In Season 3 and 4, especially 3.

* {{Die for Our Ship}}: From some in the FanDumb, even though she was ''barely ever a threat'' to said Ship.

* MissingMom: WordOfGod states that Sissi's mother is alive, but lives away from Sissi and her father. She is never seen or mentioned in the show.

* FanDisservice

* Adorkable

* {{Die for Our Ship}}: He was ''despised'' by most fans for getting in the way of Ulrich and Yumi's relationship ([[WillTheyOrWontThey not that]] [[UnresolvedSexualTension they]] [[TwiceShy needed]] [[CanNotSpitItOut the help). A few defected after Season 4, but he is still largely a disliked character.

* {{Synchronization}} (with the Supercomputer -- Season 2)

* {{Took a Level in Badass}} (by Season 2 and defenitely in Seasons 3-4.)

* {{Took a Level in Badass}}

* ChickMagnet

* StraightMan

* BadassBiker

The only extravert of the Team, and an incorrigible smart-ass. He dresses in flashy, clashing colors, especially purple and yellow. Though physically petite compared to the rest of the team, he is an adrenaline junkie, just the type to go for extreme sports. Also a passable student, his strengths are in the languages and artistic classes. He's [[KidAnova a big flirt]] who's dated about every girl in his grade (most of them for only a day or two) as well as a few others. He has smuggled his small dog, "Kiwi", into the dormitories. In Lyoko, his avatar is a Cat Boy version of himself, including claws and a tail. He has heightened agility and stamina in this form, and can shoot "Lazer Arrows" from his forearms -- which, for a time, tended to run out of ammo at the worst possible moments. This shortage was resolved in Season 2 at the expense of another of Odd's powers, the "Future Flash" which offered spontaneous visions of [[YouCantFightFate the mostly immutable immediate future]]. This left Odd with the short end of the stick powers-wise, a fact lampshaded in Season 3's "Triple Trouble" when Jérémie tries to give Odd a teleportation ability, [[MesACrowd but ended up making two clones]] for him instead, and the clones wind up not disappearing when no longer needed. At least he still has a marginally useful [[DeflectorShields energy shield]], granted as part of the Season 2 power realignment.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan

* {{Die for Our Ship}}: He was ''despised'' by most fans until Season 4.

* {{Depending on the Writer}}: The level of sympathy her character is treated with; shown moreso in Seasons 2 and 4 than 1 and 3.

The unofficial hero of the show, and the main favorite of [[FanGirl fangirls]]. He is a quiet and shy person by nature, quite the opposite of his best friend, Odd. Headstrong and stubborn, he cares for his friends and would do anything for them. Ulrich is more athletic than academic and it shows when you compare his grades to his sports performance. He attracts the attention of many females of the school, but has obvious feelings for Yumi.

* AbusiveParents: Ulrich's emotionally abusive dad.

* {{MacGuffin Girl}}

* ''Kolossus (le Kolosse)'' -- XANA's last-minute GiantMook, appearing as a towering lava {{Golem}} with a blade for a left arm. It foregos standard lasers to crush the Lyoko Warriors and the ''Skidbladnir'' with sheer physical power. It is harder to kill than most monsters, having two Eyes of XANA that must be hit simultaneously to destroy it.

** TheWorfEffect: The first Tarantula to show up [[CurbStompBattle beat the whole team at once]].

* {{No Rest for the Wicked}}

* BrainwashedAndCrazy

* TookALevelInBadAss: And [[TookALevelInJerkAss Jerkass.]] Oddly enough, his fanbase got much bigger after this.

* DieForOurShip: From some in the FanDumb even though she was ''barely ever a threat'' to said Ship.

* TheLibby: Sometimes a [[LovableLibby lovable one]]; see "Depending On The Writer" above.

* {{Brainwashed}}

[[caption-width-right:200:Polite, effecient, deadly.]]

* ''Bloks'' -- Walking cubes about twice as tall as one of the heroes. The four side faces are marked with Eyes of XANA -- one is the actual weak point, while the other three fire lasers, ice rays, and rings of fire respectively. The ice rays can paralyze the targets or devirtualize them if they're low on Life Points. The fire rings are the least often used, though both Ulrich and Odd got devirtualized this way in "The Secret".

* ''Tarantulas (Tarentules)'' -- XANA's apparent first attempt at [[{{Munchkin}} min-maxing]] its monsters: they have more Life Points than any other monster barring the Scyphozoa (as of its Season 2 rollout), the Eye of XANA weak point is located at the back of the head, and their mobility is largely sacrificed for high speed DualWielding of the [[ArmCannon laser cannon stubs on their arms]].
* ''Scyphozoa (la Méduse)'' -- XANA's first [[TheDragon Dragon]], looking like a levitating giant jellyfish. It eschews direct attacking for wrapping its NaughtyTentacles around Aelita and attempting to crack her NeuroVault open. Other notable targets include Yumi (to force a variant FriendOrIdolDecision by making Aelita transfer her own materialization code to replace Yumi's deleted version), William (to make him the new Dragon), and the ''Skidbladnir'' (to sabotage its shield regeneration).
