History Characters / InfinityTrainSeekerOfCrocusRedLotusUprising

* CommonalityConnection: What exactly keeps the Uprising together? It's Chloe. All of the team cares about her well-being because it's ''she'' who brought them together and keeps them focused on a bigger goal to keep pushing towards the Fog Car and coming to terms to their mistakes.
** "Firefly Funhouse Car" reveals that the initial trio had someone they couldn't forgive. Atticus could never forgive Amelia for hurting Tulip, Lexi will never forgive Grace and Simon for burying him alive and betraying his trust, and Chloe refuses to have Goh make amends for the way he treated her. However, Atticus points out while his and Lexi's targets were unforgivable, Goh has a chance to redeem himself because his actions were never malicious, just the act of a stubborn child who doesn't know better.

* MoralityChain: If not for Atticus or Lexi, Chloe's trip on the Train would be even more difficult as they keep her grounded by giving her gentle advice and support.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Amelia is the older stoic tomboy who is into engineering and wears a suit. Chloe is the younger girly girl who wears dresses and has a cheerful personality.
* ToughLove: Atticus and Lexi will put their foot down to help Chloe realize that running away from her problems is not the solution but all in a matter to say that they truly care for her and want to make sure that her loved ones know she's okay. Atticus even goes as far as to gently call out Chloe over her perceived ingratitude to people now realizing she was in pain.

* {{Irony}}: He notes in the Palimpsest Car that despite red being the color associated with his group, he's incapable of seeing it.

* {{Irony}}: He's made of paper, and a weakness of paper is fire. He's also smitten for Chloe, who has a cloak that allows her to ''cast fire''.

* PuppyDogEyes: Atticus and Lexi will weaponize this if they want Chloe to do something (like contact her family). Chloe herself tries this on Amelia so she can have more hot chocolate and Amelia replies that it doesn't work.

* HundredPercentHeroismRating: They're a group of heroes who are asolutely adored by the Denizens of the Infinity Train.

* BifauxnenAndLadette: Chloe has tomboyish flairs in her feminine outfits (wearing a top hat and tux along with a skirt, for example) and has an aggressive fighting style with a pipe along with a love for horror and knowledge of demons. Meanwhile, Amelia is the analytical, pantsuit wearing engineer with a stoic personality and uses the Ice Wand to create construct.

* DemotedToExtra: Not counting [[SpotlightStealingSquad Chloe]], the Red Lotus group has their prominence and plot relevance ''severely'' reduced, with only Chloe being the one to get the most character development in Act 1. By Act 2, they start getting their own focus arcs and development outside being Chloe's partners.

** Chloe: Bullied for her father's name and profession, ostracized for her hobbies, and keeps being thrown into numerous life-threatening situations by adults. To wit, she's been thrown out of a window, nearly faced a kamikaze attack, strangled ''three times'', and nearly killed by a runaway train before she decides to have a dragon demon ''kill her'' when it gest too much.

* BadassNormal: In comparison to the other members who have some sort of high-tech ability or weapon on hand, Atticus must make due with his wits, speed and teeth to get things done.

* EveryoneHasStandards: While he hates how The Cat tried to trick Tulip into being trapped in her memories, and having her bring the Conductor to the Ball Pit Car just so Amelia could destroy said car in order to obtain One-One, had a chance of killing Tulip ''and'' turned him into a Ghom, he doesn't find any joy in her [[spoiler:being mind raped after she confessed that it's her fault Simon became racist to denizens.]]

* NonActionGuy: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Atticus does get into fights here more often than his canonical counterpart, but since he's still just a talking corgi accompanying a girl with ridiculous firepower, a paper prince and a woman with an ice wand, he mostly sticks to the sidelines and acts as a strategist or voice of reason. But in the Harvest Moon Car, he admits that he hates that limitation on him because that also means he won't be able to save himself if Grace comes knocking.

** He does not mince words towards Ululiro's seething rage and how she's not using it for the good of the car itself.

* BuriedAlive: His backstory, courtesy of a younger Grace and Simon.
* CharacterDevelopment: A meeting with a kitsune girl who states that he's no better for idolizing Chloe makes him realize that he might have been a bit blind to some of Chloe's most notable flaws.

** His last name, Aristophanes, is the name of a Greek playwright.

* MythologyGag: The outfit he wears when the Windchasers and Red Lotus Uprising have a tea ceremony is a red yukata with golden lotus and two scrolls on his head to mimic dragon horns. This is his secondary outfit in ''Blossoming Trail''/''Voyage of Wisteria''.

* RedBaron: Nicknamed the "The Paper Prince" due to his paper body and status as royalty.

** When she uses the Ice Wand for the first time, she proclaims "Winter is Coming", a phrase from ''Series/GameOfThrones'', which Creator/LenaHeadey starred in.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Why she joins Chloe's group; not only was Chloe willing to forgive her, but Chloe stands up for Amelia's defense when Walter begins chewing out how Amelia is at fault for everything gone wrong. She even admits that she'd rather go with Chloe than White Gestalt, because everyone there was up about blaming her for her mistakes (and Tokio hates her because of her indirection hand in creating the Apex and all his traumas associated with them).

* BystanderSyndrome: She sat around and did nothing while so many passengers fumbled around in the dark for ''thirty years'' and one of them had the idea to make a cult that hurt denizens. Even when Gladion told her to do something about it, she refused and it nearly ended with the Train's destruciton and three members of White Gestalt kicked out. Even while she's with Chloe and her group, she's barely doing anything to fix her mistakes and instead, ''children'' who should be going out and fixing themselves are now fixing her problems.

** After things go to hell in Palimpsest, it's Chloe who gets the ire of the street cleaners, going as far as to attack her and even ''get a knife to slice her throat''. In contrast, the worst that Amelia gets is glares and people throwing stuff at her (which doesn't work due to her barrier). When they point out that Amelia didn't vocalize her pains and had emotional breakdowns, Amelia points out that doesn't necessairly mean that she's less guilty than Chloe; after all, Amelia's single-minded goal to bring back Alrich is the reason for ''everything'' that's gone wrong for the past thirty years.

** A brunette woman who becomes shattered from losing a man that she has loved, creating a world where he never died while having an idealized version of him in her head and has an ice motif? She surprisingly fits the character of Cheryl Mason...or rather, the ''alternate'' [[VideoGame/SilentHillShatteredMemories Cheryl Heather Mason]], with bonus points in the Cheryl of that game would keep watching video recordings of her father, just like there are memory tapes on the Infinity Train.

* HerHeartWillGoOn: It takes thirty years for Amelia to move on from Alrich, but a trip in the Palimpsest Car helps her understand that she needs to move forward for Chloe and to search for happiness with Hazel. She thanks the pescia of him for their time together, and requests that he lives his own life.

* RefusingParadise: Amelia finally has a copy of Alrich after thirty years in the Palimpsest Car, and she could just leave the Uprising behind to stay with him at long last...but she refuses, realizing that this copy is not ''her'' Alrich and no one can replace him and that Palimpsest is honestly a death trap that keeps people so broken and obsessed to even bother to move forward. She realizes there are more important things she must do, particularly figuring out where Hazel is, and to stay by Chloe's side while she [[spoiler:searches for the whereabouts of her father]]. All the same, she wishes for the pescia Alrich to have a happy life.

* MeaningfulName: His name can be translated into "Soul, mind, intellect", representing how Hewie is alive, regardless of being a mirage Pokémon and his connections are what make Chloe start wanting to love Pokémon again.

** His relationship with Goh was...tense, to put it likely in ''Voyage of Wisteria'', as he hated how Goh was the supposed "ChildhoodFriend" of Chloe who barely noticed his friend's problems (and was the one who ultimately got Chloe on the Train with his insensitive remark) and it took a while for them to get on the same page. In this story, he has no antagonism towards him at all and admits that he misjudged Goh from Chloe's mentioning of him.

* BifauxnenAndLadette: Chloe and Amelia are far cries from the typical female. Chloe likes having tomboyish flairs to somewhat feminine outfits and has an aggressive fighting style with a pipe along with a love for horror and knowledge of demons. Meanwhile, Amelia is the analytical, pantsuit wearing engineer with a stoic personality and uses the Ice Wand to create constructs.

* AdaptationExpansion: She never getes to move on from Alrich either in the canon series (as the series was canceled after Book 4) or the original ''Blossomverse''. She gets her own story in the Palimpsest Car where she learns to fully move forward with her life.

* {{Irony}}: He notes in the Palimpsest Car that despite red being the color assosiacted with his group, he's incapable of seeing it.

** His relationsip with Goh was...tense, to put it likely in ''Voyage of Wisteria'', as he hated how Goh was the supposed "ChildhoodFriend" of Chloe who barely noticed his friend's problems (and was the one who ultimately got Chloe on the Train with his insensitive remark) and it took a while for them to get on the same page. In this story, he has no antagonism towards him at all and admits that he misjudged Goh from Chloe's mentioning of him.

* AdaptationalKarma: In canon, Amelia gets away for essentially creating a cult and ruining the lives of hundreds with only her big number to show from it, and she doesn't feel any sympathy or regret for what she did outside of realizing her efforts to recreate her past life with Alrich was pointless. Even in ''Blossoming Trail'', she still gets away with Chloe defending her and Grace (who only got to be that way ''because'' of Amelia) getting the full ire of everyone on the train. In the Palimpsest Car, Augustine does not mince words that everything, ''everything'', that the Windchasers, Red Lotus Uprising and White Gestalt are doing all stems from ''her'' and her desires to want her life back instead of ''fixing herself'' and doing the right thing with the power she had as Conductor to at least give them something to help them figure out what to do. Like an ''instruction manual''.

** She brings up twice that she's compared to [[WesternAnimation/TheLastUnicorn Molly Grue]]. A jaded brown haired middle-aged woman who chases after fairy tales and becomes enraged when the one thing she's been searching for (unicorns for Molly, Alrich for Amelia) appear when they're no longer virgin or innocent. They also learn to forgive the subject of their grief and move on with their lives.[[note]]''The Last Unicorn'' came to theaters in 1982; Amelia would've been on the Train a few years after going by Book 4 being mid-1980.[[/note]]

* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Neither her stint as Conductor or her shooting Atticus will be forgotten anytime soon. More specifically, the fact that she spent thirty years trying to make a car for herself yet barely spent time ''making instruction books'' for passengers is also brought up. By the time Alighieri brings up the former, [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore she just rolls her eyes]] and she gets ''very'' irritated when Atticus brings up the latter in a joking manner (particularly because the Corgi Car does a recreation of Atticus's exploits, and one of them is him being shot in the face).

* ArmedFemalesUnarmedMales: Chloe and Amelia have a series of weapons at their disposal, firearms for Amelia and a "donut holer" for Chloe, while Lexi uses his natural Denizen abilities and Atticus is more of a SupportPartyMember.

* HeroicDog: Both Atticus and Hewie are canines that are on the side of good, although Hewie was originally programmed by Dr. Yung to unleash hell on the Ninjala Car.

** A brunette woman who becomes shattered from losing a man that she has loved, creating a world that he never died while having an idealized version of him in her head and has an ice motif? She surprisingly fits the character of Cheryl Mason...or rather, the ''alternate'' [[VideoGame/SilentHillShatteredMemories Cheryl Heather Mason]], with bonus points in the Cheryl of that game would keep watching video recordings of her father, just like there are memory tapes on the Infinity Train.

* FluffyTheTerrible: He's a firebreathing Mirage Houndoom modeled after the original hellhound of Cerberus with black fur and devilish horns...and Chloe simply decides to calls him ''Hewie''.

%%Note: Any trope added '''must''' be relatively short, concise, and free from spite. Please consider these before adding a trope.

->''"Winter is coming."''

* CharacterDevelopment: The Palimpsest Car is where she realizes she ''can't'' stay in her past and desires to be with Alrich, nor can she let innocent people having to fix up her mistakes. She cements this by telling [[spoiler:Pescia Alrich]] to live a happy life. In the Harvest Moon Car, she decides to visit Grace and Simon to set the record straight and to warn them of what lies ahead and later tells Aligheri that she joined Chloe "because", fulling accepting Chloe's decision to stand up for her.

* RejectingParadise: Amelia finally has a copy of Alrich after thirty years in the Palimpsest Car, and she could just leave the Uprising behind to stay with him at long last...but she refuses, realizing that this copy is not ''her'' Alrich and no one can replace him. She comes to realize that there are more important things she must do, particularly figuring out where Hazel is, and to stay by Chloe's side while she [[spoiler:searches for the whereabouts of her father]].

* {{Expy}}: A brunette woman who becomes shattered from losing a man that she has loved, creating a world that he never died while having an idealized version of him in her head and has an ice motif? She surprisingly fits the character of Cheryl Mason...or rather, the ''alternate'' [[VideoGame/SilentHillShatteredMemories Cheryl Heather Mason]], with bonus points in the Cheryl of that game would keep watching video recordings of her father, just like there are memory tapes on the Infinity Train.

[[folder:Hewie]]

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He comforts a crying Togepi before Chloe approaches him. After a bit of hesitation, he tackles her and gives her some playful licks, showing that despite his dark appearance, he's a sweet and friendly Pokémon.

* FluffyTheTerrible: He's a firebreathing Mirage Houndoom modeled after the original hellhound of Cerberus...and Chloe simply decides to calls him ''Hewie''.

* WalkingSpoiler: Downplayed in that he's not important in the grand scheme of things, but explaining just ''how'' he joined the Uprising spoils [[spoiler:the hidden power that is kept in Chloe's cloak and the HeelFaceTurn the Mirage Pokemon went through.]]

** Chloe is the innocent, excitable Child with her excitement towards the Train and the fact that she's only 10.

* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Neither her stint as Conductor or her shooting Atticus will be forgotten anytime soon. More specifically, the fact that she spent thirty years making a car for herself yet barely spent time ''making instruction books'' for passengers is also brought up. By the time Alighieri brings up the former, [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore she just rolls her eyes]] and she gets ''very'' irritated when Atticus brings up the latter in a joking manner (particularly because the Corgi Car does a recreation of Atticus's exploits, and one of them is him being shot in the face).

* BladeOnAStick: His Seere based outfit gives him a crimson bident.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Why she joins Chloe's group; not only was Chloe willing to forgive her, but Chloe stands up for Amelia's defense when Walter begins chewing out how Amelia is at fault for everything gone wrong. She even admits that she'd rather go with Chloe than White Gestalt, because Gladion was up about blaming her for her mistakes (and Tokio hates her because of her indirection hand in creating the Apex).

** One-One's allowed to get away with his actions as One even though he's been Conductor for ''far longer'' than she has. But everyone keeps hounding on her mistakes instead of questioning if that bowling ball blatantly ignored numerous criminals and deaths that has happened.

* MamaBear: When Alighieri is unable to keep his mouth shut to tell everyone to just ditch Chloe Cerise, Amelia fires her blunderbuss to make the feather face shut up.

* MythologyGag: Is first seen comforting a Mirage Togepi, like in the Johto episode ''Houndoom's Special Delivery''.
