History Characters / CodeLyokoEvolution

* {{Jerkass}}: She is insufferable, smug even when she's supposed to be helping and has no problem [[KickTheDog taking her feud with Aelita to outright mockery over her father being gone, implying Hopper favored his work over her]] (which Aelita fires back and says that's not true at all, and she shuts her up with the [[HeroicSacrifice actual explanation]] in ten seconds flat). [[spoiler:In "Mutiny", not only does she show no remorse when her actions almost led William to be turned into XANA's slave again, but she actually ''keeps'' blaming the Lyoko-Warriors for letting their emotions get the best of them.]]

* TeenGenius: At first, it is implied she is smarter than Jérémie. [[spoiler:Later episodes shows Jérémie is still in first place, however (episode 12 for example).]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] and later [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. She's a {{Jerkass}}, she's cunning and often works behind the heroes' back. That said, she still helps them in their fight against XANA. However, she's more and more alienated from the team due to that. On top of that, [[spoiler:her scheme in ''Mutiny'' leads to her being kicked out of the group.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Once she's had her memories erased, she finds the card for Tyron's company she kept when Mr. Graven stopped by. Upon contacting him, Tyron showed her pictures of the gang's Lyoko avatars, allowing him to identify them and figure out that they all go to Kadic.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: In "Mutiny", [[spoiler:she decides to act behind the team's back, manipulating William into helping her, in order to destroy XANA. Her concern was well-founded, but she decided to put priority on XANA's destruction over the others' promise to find Aelita's mother.]]

* AdaptationDyeJob: The live-action Odd has light brown hair, rather than in the previous series where he had blonde hair. That hairstyle is retained for his 3D form, and he does keep his purple spot in both forms, but it is moved further down his head so it looks more natural (i.e., growing from the roots), his hair also loses the AnimeHair of his animated counterpart.

* BadassAdorable: Yumi's just as much a badass here as she was in the original series, Yumi's Lyoko Avatar is far more cuter looking however compared to her original animated series counterpart.
* BigNo: When Aelita gets devirtualized and she finds herself facing two Ninjas alone.

* MsFanservice: Yumi's just as attractive as she was in the original series, despite losing her iconic BareMidriffsAreFeminine outfit. Being played by the extremely gorgeous Mélanie Tran helps. She even wears a ''bikini'' in the 5th episode, something that the original animated Yumi never did in the original series.

* InkSuitActor: Marin Lafitte bares a huge resemblance to Jeremie, despite being one of the youngest of the cast next to Odd's.

* AdaptationalDyeJob: Aelita's hair color is more of a darker pink in this series (bordering on magenta) than the bright pink of her animated counterpart, her Lyoko Avatar retains the pink color.

* MsFanservice: Aelita is seen wearing beachwear in the 5th episode, though it's nowhere near as revealing as Yumi's bikini.

* InkSuitActor: Quentin Merabet looks actually like animated Ulrich.

* TookALevelInKindness: Any traces of the bully she once was is no more there, leaving only an abrasive, clingy, but well-meaning girl.

* AdaptationDyeJob: The live-action Odd has light brown hair, rather than in the previous series where he had blonde hair. That hairstyle is retained for his 3D form, and he does keep his purple spot in both forms, but it is moved further down his head so it looks more natural (i.e., growing from the roots).

* TookALevelInJerkass: Jérémie is rather more abrasive in this series, and even more obsessed with Lyoko than ever before.

* NeverMyFault: After [[spoiler:her attempt to deal with XANA herself goes horribly wrong and nearly gets William captured, rather than admit she was wrong she blames the others for not having her vision. It's likely this more than anything that convinces the others that she needs to be kicked out.]]

* SixthRangerTraitor: [[spoiler:In "Mutiny", when she acts behind the team's back.]]

* TheAtoner: Let's just say he works ''hard'' to make up for his rampages as XANA's [[TheDragon Dragon]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite now being on the side of the Lyoko-Warriors, William retains his black, XANA-era costume and SuperSmoke power.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: If anyone got the better end of the deal by the end of the show, it's William. He had to work for it, especially in the first five episodes of the show, but he has managed to permanently rejoin the team and deepen his bond with them, reconcile and befriend his rival Ulrich, and his friendship with Yumi has recovered from the damage it suffered in Season 4. It's telling that unlike said Season 4's finale, William was present when the team shut down the supercomputer.

* AllLovingHero: A trait that wasn't developed in her original incarnation, this version of Yumi displays concern with helping people outside of the virtual. She attempts to make a caricative party in order to send the money to victims in Japan, and, when asked what she would do if she won millions, answers she would just give everything to associations.[[note]]The series was announced right around the time of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake, Tsunami & Fukushima Nuclear Meltdown which was a major crisis at the time.[[/note]]

Yumi receives a new weapon, the "Bow Staff", and her Overwing has been modified. She can deactivate towers now, just as Odd and Ulrich do.

She even wears a ''bikini'' in the 5th episode, something the original animated Yumi from the original series never did.
* RetractableWeapon: Gets the "Bow Staff", a telescoping staff, in episode 10.

* TheRival: She and Laura end up loathing each other, mainly because they fill similar roles on the team and Aelita is vexed by Laura's InsufferableGenius attitude. The negative air between the two just gets worse as the season goes on. [[spoiler: Aelita has the last laugh in the end, though, as after Laura proves to be a true TokenEvilTeammate, she gets kicked off the team with her memory of the factory and Lyoko erased for good.]]

Post-possession, William has effectively been kicked out of the Lyoko Warriors for his actions in ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'', [[NotHimself (despite the fact that it wasn't his fault)]], as the others make a point of not inviting him to the factory when duty calls. This has enraged him on multiple occasions, and he will go to the factory on his own and demand to be taken to Lyoko when he suspects that they are there without him. He has proven a capable fighter on Lyoko, and is finally accepted back into the team in episode 5.

* ReformedButRejected: He definitely is reformed, but the Lyoko Warriors aren't much more forgiving toward him than they were at the end of season 4 of the original show; it takes five episodes for him to be truly reintegrated to the team, much to his dismay.

* SixthRangerTraitor: [[spoiler:Almost happened in episode 15, when his clone almost succeeds in persuading him to join XANA.]]

* TookALevelInJerkass: William in the original series could be a bit aggressive toward Ulrich when it was about Yumi, but was otherwise a relatively nice guy before XANA possessed him. Here, however, he is bitter about not being accepted by the Lyoko Warriors, leading him to act a bit unsympathetic on occasions. Even after being back on the team, he still acts a lot more antagonistic toward Ulrich than he used to. This is toned down starting with episode 6, but he still has some moments of being a big jerk.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: A greater example than most other cases in the show. When using the supercompouter the first time, she puts two and two together, and modifies the Return to the Past to be less effective on he, instead giving her flashbacks to her time in the lab. This leads onto her being a SixthRanger, and becomes an increasingly annoying one at that, and after all her schemes put her on a tighter leash to restrict her access to the lab. [[spoiler:After an ill-conceived attempt to destroy XANA in "Mutiny" which nearly got William turned back into XANA's servant, Jérémie informs Laura that he's updated the Return to the Past so he has greater control over it, and in this case, to only work on her, which erases all of her memories of the factory.]]

* AdaptionalDesignChange: Yumi's far shorter in this series due to the show being in live action (and her actress Mélanie Tran being shorter overall), where as her original animated counterpart was the tallest member of the group.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Tyron thinks Aelita is the prodigal daughter returning to take back everything he stole from her father, and [[spoiler:get her mother out of his grasp]]. But while she does [[spoiler:care about finding her mother]], the group have no problem with his system at all except for the fact that [[spoiler:XANA is using it to attack the world]]. He refuses to believe that the plot isn't about him, and it's especially obvious when [[spoiler:he and Aelita meet face to face]] that he has little idea of what's really going on.

A new enemy that guards the core of the Cortex. Unlike XANA's monsters, they're humanoid.

* DualWielding: Two black-bladed swords.

* EvilCounterpart: To the heroes, being a small group of highly-skilled opponents [[spoiler:that also happen to be real people]].

* SicklyGreenGlow

* WeaponTwirling: Some of them indulges in this.

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Turned UpToEleven on Lyoko, where his skin has a blue tint.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: If anyone got the better end of the deal by the end of the show, it's William. He had to work for it, especially in the first five episodes of the show, but he has managed to permanently rejoin the team and deepen his bond with them, reconcile and befriend his rival Ulrich, and his friendship with Yumi has recovered from the damage it suffered in the Season 4.

* TheAtoner: Let's just say he works ''hard'' to make up for his rampages as XANA's Dragon.

* WallMaster: They can merge with the platforms in the Cortex.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: As with most of the core cast, he bears resemblance to his animated counterpart. Unlike the others however, it's quite a strong one, as his actor does look quite a lot like him, retaining the beard, hairstyle, even his clothing is unchanged from the original series too (Jim is the closest to this status). In fact, the only real outlier here is the lack of tinted LennonSpecs, and wears regular NerdGlasses instead.

* LargeHam

[[quoteright:278:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hopper_evolution.png]]

* BigBadDuumvirate: With Professor Tyron. He has no idea of XANA's existence, and XANA is forced to use the Cortex as his new, limited base of operations, resulted in Tyron sometimes creating updates that hinder XANA.

* BigBadDuumvirate: With XANA [[spoiler:until they are revealed to be a BigBadEnsemble]].
