[[WMG: Breeze]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Especially when dealing with Ham
* GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: An arguable and generally benevolent case; he often toys with the emotions of those around him, lessening the effects of negative emotions such as fatigue, fear, or sadness, in order to emphasize the effect of positive emotions the subjects already feel.
* GoodIsNotNice: As noted below under JerkWithAHeartOfGold, he's overbearing, manipulative... and caring to a fault.
* HeroicBSOD: Suffers one of these [[spoiler: After seeing all the suffering and death at the fall of Luthadel. [[IGotBetter He gets better]] by the next book, with Sazed's help]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He appears, at first, to be a pompous, selfish, lazy, egotistical, and manipulative scoundrel. All of this is absolutely true, but it becomes clear (especially in the second and third books whenever he becomes a point-of-view character) that at least as much of his manipulation goes toward helping others as toward getting his own way.
* MayDecemberRomance: With Allrianne Cett
* NonActionGuy: Despite carrying around a dueling cane, there's little indication that Breeze is a warrior of any kind.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Claims to be on the cynical side, despite his actions and emotions pushing him toward idealism.
* TrueNeutral -> NeutralGood
* VitriolicBestBuds: Has something of this sort of relationship with Ham, due to the latter's insistence on submitting philosophical questions for consideration.
[[WMG: Ham]]
* TheBigGuy
* DumbMuscle: WordOfGod is that he's a deliberate subversion- between his physical appearance and role in the crew, you'd expect him to be this, but he's really an intelligent, thoughtful guy.
* {{Foil}}: He and Breeze are often contrasted.
* GeniusBruiser

* DeadpanSnarker: Especially when dealing with Ham

[[WMG: Ham]]
* TheBigGuy
* DumbMuscle: WordOfGod is that he's a deliberate subversion- between his physical appearance and role in the crew, you'd expect him to be this, but he's really an intelligent, thoughtful guy.
* {{Foil}}: He and Breeze are often contrasted.
* GeniusBruiser
* NeutralGood
* ThePhilosopher: Though he's more interested in ''posing'' questions than answering them.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Breeze
[[WMG: Shan Elariel]]
* [[spoiler: DarkActionGirl]]
* TheLibby: She's in a court, rather than school, setting, but otherwise fits the trope to a "t" [[spoiler: though she's rather more dangerous than most]].
* MurderTheHypotenuse: Not Vin's intention, but Shan ''was'' Elend's fiancee, and [[spoiler: Elend does make a dark joke along these lines in ''Hero of Ages'', mentioning that Vin married him after killing his fiancee, his [[AbusiveParents father]], his [[CainAndAble brother]] and [[GodEmperor his god]], to boot]].
* [[spoiler: NotSoHarmless]]
* TheReveal: For most of her appearances, she's built up as practically a female [[HarryPotter Draco Malfoy]]- arrogant, obnoxious, and annoying, but ultimately harmless. [[spoiler: Then it turns out she's a Mistborn nearly as powerful as Vin]].
* RichBitch

* MayDecemberRomance: With Allrianne Cett

* TrueNeutral -> NeutralGood
* VitriolicBestBuds: Has something of this sort of relationship with Ham, due to the latter's insistence on submitting philosophical questions for consideration.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He appears, at first, to be a pompous, selfish, lazy, egotistical, and manipulative scoundrel. All of this is absolutely true, but it becomes clear (especially in the second and third books whenever he becomes a point-of-view character) that at least as much of his manipulation goes toward helping others as toward getting his own way.
