History Characters / InfinityTrainThePerennialChild

* YouHaveFailedMe: All signs indicate that its retaliation against [[spoiler:The Cat]] for failing to detain Tulip was going to be pretty graphic.

*  SpannerInTheWorks: She ends up being this to Amelia, who had taken over as Conductor for the train. The train deposited her in the Snow Car, where Amelia had left One-One. Despite herself, Tulip bonded with the robot and refused to let either of their halves go over the course of their journey, even for the slightest hint on getting to the conductor. By staying loyal, she ended up undoing Amelia's plan, convinced the lady that they were not so different about wanting a past they couldn't reclaim, and said goodbye to everyone on the train with no hard feelings and One-One restored to their rightful place. 

* {{Catchphrase}}: Whenever she's convinced to try doing something in a different (usually less logical) way than she would prefer, she growls out an irritated "Ugh, ''fine''."

* SmallRoleBigImpact: In the grand scheme of things, she's just another passenger, but she happened to luck into the right set of circumstances to meaningfully change the train itself, and the events of Books 2 and 3 would have been much different without her intervention.

** She also [[spoiler: released her reflection from the Mirror World, and her reflection would go on to pull off the presumably unprecedented feat of making it into the real world as a denizen, along with helping Jesse come to term with his problems.]]

* GamerGirl: She's shown creating her own video game.

* VocalDissonance: He's an adorable corgi with Ernie Hudson's legendary BadassBaritone.

* GiverOfLameNames: The characters in her video game are "Good Guy" and "Bad Guy". The game itself is named "Good Guys Popping Bad Guys," which at least sounds catchy, but it's still rather weird.

* OnlySaneWoman: It comes with her logical mind and thinking. Unlike practically everyone else that got on the train, Tulip realized that it had to have a conductor, ergo someone as an authority figure. Her quest was to find the conductor and ask how to get home. She figured out the solution to the train in days, while some like Simon and Grace were trapped for ''years'' and had some EntertaininglyWrong conclusions. [[spoiler:This tendency also allowed her to figure out that Amelia wasn't the real conductor, after viewing the Cat's videotape of the latter, and to get the means to restore Atticus from Ghom form]]. 

* SmallRoleBigImpact: In the grand scheme of things, she's just another passenger, but she happened to luck into the right set of circumstances to meaningfully change the train itself, and the events of Chapters 2 and 3 would have been much different without her intervention.
** Specifically, she [[spoiler:dethroned Amelia and restored One-One to being the Conductor of the train, sending the woman on a path of redemption to reduce her astronomical number down to zero and allowing One-One to help new passengers with his introductory videos.]]
** She also [[spoiler: released her reflection from the Mirror World, and her reflection would go on to pull off the presumably unprecedented feat of making it into the real world as a denizen.]]

!!Alrick Jimmens

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: In life, no one disliked Alrick. His and Amelia's friends mention they're all attending the funeral and want her to come. Likely, this is what made his death so much harder for her, why a good person she loved had to perish.

[[/folder]]

* GoryDiscretionShot: [[spoiler:When the Conductor shoots Atticus combined with DeadHatShot when his crown drops on the floor shortly thereafter.]]

* AmbiguousDisorder: Tulip keeps her emotions bottled up most of the time, and when they do spill out, she has a hard time keeping them in moderation. She also tries to find a logical conclusion to anything she sees, and has a fixation on the videogame she's making.

* TurtlePower: He is the king of the turtles.

->'''Voiced by:''' Audrey Waslewski and Mark Fite

* [[SeldomSeenSpecies Seldom Seen Breed]]: His tail identifies him as a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, which are more rarely seen in media compared to their Pembroke counterparts.

* NiceHat: Has a crystal top hat attached to his head.

* NiceHat: He's wearing a purple beanie in his first appearance.

** She's also one for [[spoiler:the Conductor]], since both are {{Control Freak}}s in a sense, who want the world to do their bidding. The main difference is that [[spoiler:Tulip understands and [[CharacterDevelopment eventually]] accepts that life can't always go her way. She also cares about the friends she makes on her journey while the Conductor sees the character on the train as puppets who have to stay in their cars for all eternity. If they rebel, she'll [[BalefulPolymorph turn them into Ghoms]] without hesitation, in direct contrast to Tulip, who encourages her to explore. Just like Tulip, the Conductor/Amelia was also a person who entered the train, but while Tulip was able to make friends and lower her number by resolving her issues, Amelia just became more and more obsessed with what she had lost, thus increasing her number to an amount that has crawled up to her neck and eventually taking control of the train itself in a desperate attempt to recreate her old life and her lost love in one of its cars, which Tulip is able to reject when Amelia offers to do the same for Tulip, creating a world where her parents were still together, because she knew that it wouldn't be ''real''.]]

* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:In [[Recap/InfinityTrainS1E8TheBallPitCar "The Ball Pit Car"]], the Conductor punishes him for leaving his car and siding with Tulip by turning him into a Ghom.]]

* NotSoDifferentRemark: This is how she convinces [[spoiler:Amelia to pull a HeelFaceTurn. While angry about Amelia transforming Atticus into a Ghom ForTheEvulz, Tulip sincerely tells her that she knows what it's like to lose someone you love, and with them a past that seems magical. The divorce was as painful for her as Alric's death was for Amelia. She also says that they can't recreate a past that has long vanished like the desert sand in the wind]].
