History Characters / GrimTalesfromDownBelow

* NotSoDifferent: Mimi's situation is NotSoDifferent from Mina's as Jeff points out to Him, or from Minnie's for that matter.

* EmbarrassingOldPhoto: Lock, Shock, and Barrel start gushing over [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/uncle-nergal/ a really adorable photo of baby Junior]] in one of Grim's diaries. Cue Junior's face turning red with embarrassment.

* InTheHood: As discussed below, Junior wears nothing but black hoodies and jeans. They become a sick looking [[BadassLongcoat longcoat]] [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/scythe-beats-scissorssaw-every-time/ when he goes Demon-Reaper Mode though]], just like dear old Dad.
* LimitedWardrobe: [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/free-mimi/ Junior's wardrobe is revealed to have nothing but black hoodies.]]

* ACupAngst: In one strip, she was seen comparing herself with her mother and an image of a [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/gotta-hand-it-to-ya/5 pancake appears.]] It's even better when you realize to what her line, "How cruel, my name be so apt..." refers.

* CooldownHug: [[spoiler:Gives Junior one [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/i-have-you/ here]].]]

* CosplayOtakuGirl: Mandy has some [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/moms-a-cosplayer/ interesting]] outfits in that closet of hers.

* LackOfEmpathy: She does [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes care for her family]] but anyone else is on their own. [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/not-up-to-snuff/ This page sums it up quite nicely.]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Makes it perfectly clear to Minnie in [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/the-weight-of-lineage/ "The Weight of Lineage"]] that for all her PurpleProse and a "killer" DeathGlare, she lacks her mother's ability to take action without hesitation or remorse, and that Junior will keep "flying further and further" out of her reach until she does so. A point which is exemplified by TheReveal that ''Mandy'' was the one who shot the line holding Junior and Mimi, not Minnie.

* WouldHurtAChild: [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/a-bit-of-motherly-love/ Even her own son isn't exempt from her wrath]].

* TheSymbiote: Her demonic form is evidently the result of her being bonded to an entity of pure evil that [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/re-collecting/ even Grim is leery of.]] [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/keep-out-of-reach-of-minnie/ It also seems attracted to Minnie.]]
* TooKinkyToTorture: [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/ironing-out-the-kinks/ This panel]] sure seems to point in that direction.

* TurnOutLikeHisFather : Him implies that Mimi's mother also defied him. Her mother [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/mother-arrive/ is Blossom.]]

* OneWingedAngel: After getting nuked, he turns up [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/big-daddy/ in a horrifically monstrous form]].

* ShoutOut: He sounds a bit like [[{{Film/Gladiator}} Commodus]] in [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/the-claw-that-feeds-you/ this page?]]

* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: ZigZagged. Mimi gets her good during the birthday party food fight, but unlike most babysitters, Raven has ''no'' problem [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/world-war-pastries/ returning it in kind]] to her charge.
* BalefulPolymorph: Inverted [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/tough-bunny-love/ here]]; Raven implies she transformed herself so Mimi could have a cute mascot for her birthday party.
* BerserkButton: If you watched the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans animated series]], you know that bringing up her father is a real sore subject for Raven, as Him clearly [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/the-right-tool/ demonstrates]].

* EyeScream: Gave the lava golem [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/mommas-gonna-help-you-out/ one heck of a shiner]] when it tried to take Mimi.

* MamaBear: More like a surrogate MamaBear, but just as vicious in defending Mimi, as the lava golem found out [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/the-golems-greeting/ here.]]

* SugarAndIcePersonality: It's Raven, so this normally goes without saying, but the contrast between her snarky food fight with Mimi and cleaning the girl up, admitting she was NotSoAboveItAll, and giving loving words of encouragement about Jeff certainly [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/no-bubbles-in-the-tub/ exemplifies this]].

Even going as far as being called "mother" and "Lady" when he's in that form.

* ShoutOut: His full head of hair as a human is very similar to the hero of a [[Manga/DetectiveConan popular Japanese detective series.]] Compare [[http://snafucomics.wikia.com/wiki/File:080724_grim.jpg this]] to [[http://static1.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_super/11111/111111327/3278747-dc-detective-conan-17352255-857-933.jpg this.]]

The mother of Mimi and former leader of the ''Powerpuff Girls'', briefly seen in a flashback in ''What About Mimi''

%%* [[spoiler: PosthumousCharacter]]

Blossom's husband and Mimi's stepfather. He's briefly seen in a flashback in ''Further Orientation''

* [[AbusiveParent AbusiveDad]]: Of the gender-inverted WickedStepmother variety. Although he isn't really cruel to Mimi, Dexter is noticeably cold and distant to his stepdaughter. From what is shown about him, he treats Mimi pretty much like a tool for her precognitive powers, and according to General Specific, he isn't protecting Mimi from the world, but the world ''from'' her if HIM were to ever gets his claws on her.

* {{Adorkable}}: Like his dad, he's horribly unlucky and just wants to be accepted overall. He's sweet and kind to the point of being naive at times and gets into awkward situations all the time.

* DrivenByEnvy: He starts off as TheResenter towards Minnie, combined with TheUnfavorite. He also hates that Nergal Jr. (his godfather) shows more attention and love towards her, though it is later justified as [[spoiler:Nergal Jr. is Minnie's biological father.]]

* TheUnfavorite: [[spoiler:Thanks to Grim always hating her biological father and Mandy now favouring Junior, she's found herself neglected by her parents.]]

* TheSymbiote: Her demonic form is evidently the result of her being bonded to an entity of pure evil that [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/keep-out-of-reach-of-minnie/ even Grim is leery of.]] [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/grim-and-evil/ It also seems attracted to Minnie.]]

* SinisterSchnoz: Well, even though he's a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire, he's still got [[https://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/the-first-harper-concordat/ quite the schnozzola.]]

* CooldownHug: [[spoiler:Gives Junior one [[http://grim.snafu-comics.com/index.php?comic_id=131 here]].]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Makes it perfectly clear to Minnie in [[http://grim.snafu-comics.com/index.php?comic_id=260 "The Weight of Lineage"]] that for all her PurpleProse and a "killer" DeathGlare, she lacks her mother's ability to take action without hesitation or remorse, and that Junior will keep "flying further and further" out of her reach until she does so. A point which is exemplified by TheReveal that ''Mandy'' was the one who shot the line holding Junior and Mimi, not Minnie.

%%* FlowerInHerHair

* BiTheWay: While it's still too early to confirm, [[http://grim.snafu-comics.com/?comic_id=243 this was her action when she met Chi for the first time]]. May be a case of ItsOkayIfItsYou.
** And the first time she ''saw'' Chi, [[http://grim.snafu-comics.com/?comic_id=277 this was her reaction.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: They didn't expect that [[spoiler: oogie was going to ''murder'' Minnie.]]

%%* GrayEyes

* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: Since they come from Dark Danny, they're half-human half-ghosts.]]

* RedOniBlueOni: Manny's the red, Dani's the blue

* GreenEyes: Manny.

** Also, let's not skip the last picture showing while he says it. It's Mimi, on a rack. Being tortured by [[Franchise/SilentHill Pyramid Head]], who is such a MemeticMolester that he rapes all other monsters, and gives Sigmund Freud a run for his money with his psychologically disturbing symbolism. "You really messed her up" is understatement of the ''fucking millennium''!

%%* GreenEyes
* [[UnusualEyebrows GREAT FLAMING EYEBROWS!]]: Inherited from daddy.

* UnusualEyebrows: He has GREAT FLAMING [[MemeticMutation EYEBROWS!]]
