History Characters / CucumberQuest

The sixth Disaster Master, and the Disaster Master of the Cloud Kingdom.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: She has demonstrated the ability to teleport.

* OminousVisualGlitch: It accompanies her wherever she goes. For instance, Rosemaster's speech bubbles become more pixellated when they talk. [[spoiler:Taken to truly frightening degrees when she becomes furious with Rosemaster's betrayal, where her own dialogue becomes a distorted mess.]]

* RedEyesTakeWarning: In the Chapter 2 interlude, [[spoiler: she manifests herself in front of the heroes in the form of the Nightmare Knight. Unlike the real one, she has red eyes instead of yellow, and acts significantly more ruthless than is usual for him.]]

* TeleportersAndTransporters: One of her powers involves teleportation.
* VillainousBreakdown[=/=]NotSoStoic: Her response to [[spoiler:Rosemaster taking the Hocus Crocus for herself, and furthermore ''defending'' the Nightmare Knight's constant sabotage, is to briefly scream at Rosemaster in impotent rage, with more {{Ominous Visual Glitch}}es than ever.]]

* IfIWantedYouDead: He grabs Sir Carrot with a newly reformed magma arm after he cuts his off with his bow and implies he's able to control his body temperature...but not before alarming Carrot.

* BigGood: She's a counterpart to the Nightmare Knight representing the forces of good, and incidentally, she appears to be the closest thing to a "God" that Dreamside has. She sealed the Nightmare Knight away thousands of years ago, and she sets Cucumber on his quest to get the dreamsword and collect the disaster stones. Though it's gradually subverted as she's revealed to be rather rude, dismissive, and lazy, which causes all who see her in person to [[BrokenPedestal lose faith in her]]. It's saying something when [[spoiler:Gigi herself notes that purple would be a good color for her, and purples are usually associated with ''[[BigBad Nightmare Knight]]'']].

* FlowerInHerHair: She wears a flower decoration in her hair. It might have some meaning about her childishness, but it's probably mostly there just to look cute. [[spoiler: She gets more and more elaborate ones when she's picked to be a semifinalist in the contest to find a fitting Princess R.]]

** The Nightmare Knight always keeps his back turned to his servants when he's lecturing them. When we're shown his face we see why. It's cause he's always betraying a look of pure sadness and ''hurt'' over the circumstances.

* PunchClockVillain: Mutemaster is passive by nature and holds no real ill will to the Dreamsiders, similar to Rosemaster. Gigi has mused that he likely wouldn't even be an antagonist if not for his wanting to please Noisemaster and the Nightmare Knight.

* TrulySingleParent: To Parfait.

* TrulySingleParent: For her son, Mandolin. Her husband is nowhere to be found.

* WeaksauceWeakness: The rain is one for him.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Wears extravagant, sparkly clothes, and is entrusted with knowledge of Dreamside's legends, to help Cucumber because she's royalty.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Seems to be a believer of the fact, seeing how he gets inspired to throw the contest for "Princess R".

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: ''Oh yes.'' Not only is she the LoveInterest for Carrot [[spoiler:which helps boost Carrot's magical transformation into a literal KnightInShiningArmor]], but she also shows compassion to Nightmare Knight [[spoiler:and consequently becomes one of the few people the Nightmare Knight has a soft spot for]].

* PainfulRhyme: In-universe example. Her limerick about the legend of Count Legato is rather mediocre, much to Cuco and party's dismay.

* ReforgedIntoAMinion: As he reveals his true appearance while explaining the full effects of Quakemaster's curse, and specifically points out that Quakemaster will be able to make use of Carrot once the curse is done with him, it is heavily implied that Obsidian was a victim of this trope himself at some point. [[spoiler:[[NotBrainwashed He wasn't; he willingly joined Quakemaster after they fell in love.]]

* GamerChick: Parodied in a non-canon zine where she and Noisemaster start a LetsPlay channel. It's set up to make it seem like Rosemaster is a hardcore gamer, terrifying Noisemaster with her confidence... and then it turns out she's casual player with weird habits like turning off the voice acting so she can do it herself, while Noisemaster is relegated to voicing the menus:
--> '''Rosemaster''': "Stay away from her!" "Hahaha... inferior beings!!"
--> '''Noisemaster''': Items.

* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:When Cucumber [[WhatTheHellHero calls her out on her actions]], Almond gets upset and escalates the argument by trying to shift the blame onto her brother. Only to hear that, [[BluntYes]], [[ArmorPiercingResponse it really was Almond's fault that the whole adventure started, because she treated everything like a game]]]].

* KillItWithwater[=/=]LogicalWeakness: Chardonnay reveals that he's weak against water. Makes sense for a lava monster.

* InSeriesNickname: Almond shortens his name to Cuco. Pronounced "cyu-coh."
* IronicName: Another for April fools day. Bacon points out Cucumber's hair looks nothing like a Cucumber unlike other characters with hairstyles similar to their names. It's quite fitting, since he's the only one in his family who doesn't want to be a legendary hero.

* AmbiguousGender: Obsidian's gender isn't mentioned or easily discernible. [[spoiler:The fact that he turns out to be TheBlank doesn't help either.]]
* TheBlank: [[spoiler:Turns out Quakemaster's TakenForGranite curse completely erased Obsidian's face and hair, which the mask is used to cover up. He reveals the disfigurement to Carrot and Ametrine to illustrate what will eventually happen to Carrot, and it's implied to be symbolic of a LossOfIdentity.]]

* MalevolentMaskedMan: They wear an eerie smiling mask with mismatched eyes.
* MoreThanMindControl: [[spoiler:After Quakemaster dies, he reveals that 1: he pledged service to Quakemaster himself, and 2: he and Quakemaster were an OfficialCouple.]]
* NightmareFace: [[spoiler:Ironically enough, their face is blank... [[TheBlank but that's probably what the author intended]]]].

* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:As he reveals his true appearance while explaining the full effects of Quakemaster's curse, and specifically points out that Quakemaster will be able to make use of Carrot once the curse is done with him, it is heavily implied that Obsidian was a victim of this trope himself at some point. As of yet, his original identity is unknown.]]
* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:Is revealed to be a victim of Quakemaster's stoneheart curse, which transformed him into a sentient stone statue.]]

* BadBoss: Well, Chardonnay is basically her errand girl while she kicks back and watches TV, and she could do nothing but suppress her feelings. [[spoiler:When she's far away from her boss, Chardonnay ''[[RageBreakingPoint does not mince words]]'']].

* YouHaveFailedMe: He gave up and tried to surrender to one batch of heroes. Nightmare Knight responded by imprisoning and crippling him. [[spoiler:Turns out that was a lie the Nightmare Knight used to cover up the ''real'' reason he dealth with him, namely that he discovered the Nightmare Knight's secret on his own and reacted badly.]]

* YouHaveFailedMe: He gave up and tried to surrender to one batch of heroes. Nightmare Knight responded by imprisoning and crippling him.

-->[[spoiler:'''Carrot''':This is difficult to say, but... I believe are travels together have come to an end.]]

-->[['''Carrot''':This is difficult to say, but... I believe are travels together have come to an end.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Plays the part of the benevolent BigGood, but has repeatedly shown her true colors as rather rude and dismissive.
