* ShipTease
* TomatoInTheMirror
* TraumaInducedAmnesia
* VitriolicBestBuds
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Present, her hair looks mostly black with only a slight purple shine on it, but in the Flashback scenes, young Edna has definitely purple hair.



* FingerlessHands

to:

* FingerlessHandsFingerlessHands: Harvey has them; he even complains about this when Edna offers him some ''fingerfood''.




to:

* SelfServingMemory



* TheBadGuyWins

to:

* TheBadGuyWinsAmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has purple skin. [[WordOfGod The developer's audio commentary]] states that the skin color says something about the character's humanity; the less of a human person someone seems to be to Edna, the less human they look to her.
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler: One of the two possible endings is Edna submitting herself to Doctor Marcel's therapy. In the process, he manages to destroy her personality.]]



* DeathByFallingOver

to:

* DeathByFallingOver
[[spoiler: DeathByFallingOver: One of the two possible endings is that Edna pushes him off the stairs.]]

*

to:

!!!A skinny white guy and a stocky black guy who consider themselves to be siamesic conjoined twins.
*
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. They don't even share the same skin colour.
* ConjoinedTwins: So they say. Actually, they are but sharing a sweater. They even claim to be conjoined ''triplets'', but their third brother, Broti, went off to study art history in Paris.
* InsaneTrollLogic: If Edna offers them a cooking pot, they decline in unison. Edna comments they seem to be very agreeing on that, on which they explain: They are ''siamese'' twins, and in Siam, people eat Sushi, and Sushi is eaten raw, hence no need of a cooking pot. And from eating raw fish you get communism, hence the agreeing.
* MellowFellow: Both of them never lose their calm, not even after a big car crash.



* LargeHam

to:

* LargeHam
LargeHam: More so in the original than in the English version.
* LightningCanDoAnything: His clairvoyance developed after he was struck by lightning twice in a row.
* PsychicPowers: Can see the future and hence never loses a game. [[spoiler: That is, until Edna cures his control obsession.]]

to:

*
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: As with most other inmates, we don't get to know his name, only his function.
* GargleBlaster: The only drink her serves is the stenchdrink, and only he can tell what's in there. It calls up severe hallucinations, and apparently it smells disgusting. The Bartender is shocked to hear that Edna actually drank it.

* DrowningMySorrows

to:

!!!A patient !!!An inmate who's suffering depression.
* BirthdayHater
BirthdayHater: Because to him his birthday means he's growing old.
* DrowningMySorrows
ButtMonkey: Not only do all of Edna's attempts in "cheering him up" drift into the territory of "actually, your life is pretty useless" very quickly, she can also manipulate circumstances to hook him up with Petra, who is totally smitten by him but whose neverending joy he just can't stand.
* DrowningMySorrows: To be found in the bar where he's trying to ignore the rest of the world.



* GenkiGirl

to:

* GenkiGirl
{{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Genuinely doesn't get that celebrating a birthday party in a bathroom, with the food set up right next to the toilets, is somewhat unsavory.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: She'd like to be this for Peter. Success is yet to come.
* ThePollyanna: Always smiling cheerily, and nonstop up for a party, even though nobody seems to come to her party location.



*

to:

*
* AngerBornOfWorry: When Edna strolls around at the edge of the roof in front of him, he's genuinely pissed, but he also sounds genuinely worried that she might fall.
* AnnoyingLaugh: He likes to laugh at his own bad jokes, and it's a terribly pesky noise.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Implied; he strives for being a great minigolf player as his father was, but puts his father in his memory on an enormous pedestal so he cannot ever live up to his own expectations.



*

to:

* TheBigGuy: Is huge and muscular, and Edna calls him "big beast" and "Neanderthal".
* HiddenDepths: Apparently, he reads a lot - he mentions Hemmingway and Tolstoi, at which Edna laughs and says he's just makig up names.

!Bladdder
!!!A guard who watches the surveillance cameras. He's the one who has the legendary master key.
* MeaningfulName: His appearance in the game revolves entirely around the fact that he has drunk much too much water and going to the toilet is long overdue.
