[[caption-width-right:239:some caption text]]
A normal reporter who has realized that the Fabletown residents never age.

* FieryRedhead: Normally very mild and even-tempered, but the likes of [[{{Jerkass}} Reynard]] will tax anyone's patience.

[[folder: Mrs. Green [=/=] Morgan le Fay]]

* AllWomenAreLustful: Has a couple of secret sexual encounters with Jack, to satisfy her firey passions.

Senior Librarians at the Golden Boughs Retirement Village. They report directly to Mister Revise and serve as his main lieutenants and enforcers. After the dissolution of the Village, they develop their own agenda; recovering the tomes containing the original Fable stories.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Is initially led around by the nose by Jack Horner, trusting him, [[ConMan of all people]], merely because Jack's his father.

* {{Teleportation}}: Despite returning his wintry powers to his mother, Jack still possesses the ability to magically transport himself from world to world and/or across dimensions.

* LawOfInverseFertility: [[spoiler: Jack]] has to be the ''last'' person anyone would want to have a child by. So naturally, it happens.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Asks herself this when she realizes that not only is [[spoiler: Jack Horner the father of her child]], but he's also [[spoiler: her half brother]].

* KickTheDog: Her murder of Colin.

* PrinceCharmless[=/=]PrinceCharming: A notable deconstruction of these tropes. He's beautiful and [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin charming]], but he's also rotten to the core (at least, until CharacterDevelopment kicks in).

* AmazonBrigade: After [[spoiler: seemingly dying at the end of the War against the Empire]], Charming organizes a veritable army of well-trained Indian females who [[spoiler: help him conquer most of the Indus]].

* MoreDakka: Applies combat condition "Full Metal Storm", a military tactic inspired by Mundy armies, which necessitates the firing of all guns onboard the Glory of Baghdad warship, facilitated by Boy Blue instantaneously teleporting ammo dumps onto the ship, creating a perpetual, overwhelming onslaught of firepower that completely wipes out an entire phalanx of Imperial dragons.

The anti-hero from Literature/ArabianNights, he is now known as the Prince of Thieves.

* BlatantLies: ''Claims'' that Tariq Ibn Umar Ad Saladin Al Ghor gave him the Legendary Blade of the Seven Gardens, but he actually stole it from the man's tent.
* CoolSword: Carries the Legendary Blade of the Seven Gardens, purported to be able to slice through mountains, "given" to him by Tariq Ibn Umar Ad Saladin Al Ghor. He wields it to great effect against many of the Empire's Wooden soldiers.
* GuileHero: Retains this quality from his original legend.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Initially seemed to have this for Briar Rose, but it turns out to be for the Snow Queen.
* LoveableRogue: There's a reason he's survived so long as an repentant thief, and why the ruthless Snow Queen not only spared his life, but eventually took him as a lover...
* TrueLovesKiss: His devotion to riches and strong initial attraction to Briar Rose enabled him to wake her with a smooch.
* VictoryIsBoring: The reason why he abandons his life of fabulous wealth and leisure to become an adventurous thief.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1155004_old_sam.jpg]]

Formerly the "Little Black Sambo" originally featured in children's books. He has long since grown up, even appearing somewhat elderly, but still retains his amazing speed.

* CoolHat: Always sporting a jaunty porkpie job.
* OnlySaneMan: Tries his best to be the calming, moderating voice of reason to Kevin Thorn, who is contemplating writing an end to the universe as it is, while Imperial witch hunter Hansel does his best to encourage Thorn's nihilistic mindset.
* SuperSpeed: Can still move almost faster than the eye can see, even at his (apparently) advanced age.
