History Characters / GunnerkriggCourt

The [[TheArcher Archer]]. Little has been revealed about him as of yet. He is the one who fired the arrow that killed Jeanne.

Eventually, the Court's founders devised some manner of fortifying the Court against Gillitie, but it required a human sacrifice. Jeanne was chosen, against her wishes. She was lowered into the Annan gorge, and after being left for several hours, a single arrow was fired down (presumably at Jeanne, killing her). [[{{unperson}} The Court then systematically erased all evidence that she ever existed]]... or rather, they tried. One person, in secret, kept a video log of these events and a shrine in Jeanne's memory.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: Her ability.

** [[spoiler:Is split up from said lover by Coyote.]]

** [[spoiler:Is ''sacrificed'' by the Court in a really, really unpleasent way (killed by ''the man who was delivering the messages to her lover'', no less!).]]

** Falls in love with an elf from Gillitie Wood, but their relationship is seemingly disapproved of;
** Is split up from said lover by Coyote;
** Sends messages to her lover that seem not to do any good (''possibly'' - you know what Gunnerkrigg is like);
** Is fawned over by Diego, an unpleasent man whom she cannot stand and whom encourages her to forget the elf;
** Is ''sacrificed'' by the Court in a really, really unpleasent way (killed by ''the man who was delivering the messages to her lover'', no less!);
** Is stuck in the Annan Waters for so long that her GHOST begins to rot!]]

[[ButtMonkey Nobody likes boxbot]]. He's terrible to the point that he doesn't deserve a proper description. Not that you can say much about a box-shaped thing with arms...

!!Laser Cows

!!Sky Watcher

Annie's best friend. She's energetic, outgoing, and usually cheerful. She's a natural at maths and science, and a GadgeteerGenius capable of building antigravity generators and robots in her spare time.

At one point, his PersonalityChip was placed in the body of the prototype robot S1, and [[NotHimself he acted very strangely]]; what came over him is not precisely explained, but it seems to have been out of his control.

* DungeonBypass: He can do this unconsciously.

Personality-wise, Miss Parley is loud and always trying to take charge of conversations. She harbors strong feelings for Smith, which she [[{{tsundere}} expresses]] by constantly in getting in Smith's hair, while simultaneously [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace attaching herself to him]] at every possible opportunity. When Jones prods Smith into giving Parley a flower, Parley is so overcome with emotion that she spontaneously manifests her latent Etheric power of space manipulation... by teleporting the lot of them straight onto her bed. (It should be stated that her power mixed with Smith's organization ability and teleported them to her bed. For those trying to keep up with the math here's a tip: High Emotion + Order + Teleportation = Her Bed.)

After getting caught in one of Zimmy's psychic freak-outs, it seems TheCall has hit Jack -- hard. [[GoMadFromTheRevelation Hard enough to knock a few screws loose]], or so it seemed. It has since been revealed that [[DemonicPossession his mind was hijacked by an etheric spider]]. The spider has since been squished; it's unclear what Jack will do once he gets his right mind back.

Annie's interactions with those members of the Court outside her circle of friends are complicated. She's respectful towards the teachers, even when she disagrees with them, but she doesn't hesitate to disobey them if she thinks it necessary. She also seems to dislike and distrust Mr. Eglamore, far in excess of anything he's done. For their part, her parent's old friends like Annie, partly because she reminds them of her mother, both in actions and [[StrongFamilyResemblance appearance]]. Aside from Kat, Annie's interactions with her classmates are limited--so these classmates tend to view her as an [[IceQueen aloof]] [[CreepyChild weirdo]].

She seems to fall into {{True Neutral}}ity, not by choice, but by virtue of being young and confused. She'll steal from her best friend's parents, and then she'll put herself in danger to help another friend, within the course of a single day. She'll copy answers from Kat, but also trust her with her most intimate secrets to her. Her moral compass has yet to stabilize.

* BarrierWarrior: Anja. [[AC:[[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=555 SPANG]]]].

* MysteriousParent: They have odd tricks up their sleeves. Kat never believed in 'magic' nor saw her mother ''using'' computer, so Anja offhandedly mentioning ''developing'' a {{Magitek}}-server before her birth was sort of disconcerting. The tattoo issue just finished her off.

* CursedWithAwesome: He's recently displayed several etheric abilities, two of which are better developed than Annie's. These are the result of his trip to Zimmingham.

* GoMadFromTheRevelation / SanitySlippage: His brief odyssey through Zimmy's mental hellscape seemed to have had serious effects on his mind. His appearance became progressively more ragged, and his behavior increasingly unnerving. How much of this can be chalked up to the spider's control remains to be seen.
* GottaCatchEmAll: To secure its control over Jack, the spider had to control all the pieces of his mind/soul/whatever.

* NoRestForTheWicked: Since Zimmingham.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: In one of the latest chapters, agitated by his experience with Zimmy, invades Antimony's personal space until he's bearing down on her and she's pinned against the wall. Reynardine's reaction to this can be described as "[[PapaWolf Not]] [[{{Understatement}} Best]] [[OhCrap Pleased]]".

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Seems to be headed in this direction.

The unusual circumstances of her death put Jeanne beyond the reach of [[{{Psychopomps}} the Guides]]. Unable to pass on, her ghost, [[WomanInWhite clad in white]] and carrying a swept-handled rapier, haunted the Gunnerkrigg shore of the Annan Waters for generations.
