History Characters / MobileSuitGundamWing

* DeadpanSnarker: Professor G's one, judging by his response to [[spoiler:Doctor J talks about the air getting thinner during Lt. Nichol's attempt to kill them.]] Not surprising, considering he was the one who trained [[DeadpanSnarker Duo]].

* MythologyGag: Quatre is not a CharClone in personality, but he is a young blonde man with a name very similar to Char's ''Zeta Gundam'' alias "Quattro" (both derived from a word for "four").

* CharClone: [[spoiler: Her main accessory in ''Frozen Teardrop'' is a mask similar to one worn by her brother, Zechs Merquise/Milliardo Peacecraft. Hence [[MemeticMutation RELENA, SHE IS A ZECHS]]. Curiously, the manga also shows her grandmother Katrina wearing the same mask in her youth.]]

* BrokenAce: He's the CharClone. What did you expect? He's innately skilled at many things, but damn does he have issues.

* CharClone: Probably the most obvious {{Expy}} of Char Aznable ever, being a red-wearing masked blond AcePilot for the bad guys in a unique mask and is secretly the brother of the female lead who coincidentally gets wrapped up in everything, and being paired up with a very believable (albeit [[GenderFlip female]]) ''Garma'' clone. He even goes through a similar arc, starting as an enemy ace, becoming an ostensible (if at times [[TeethClenchedTeamwork clenched tooth]]) ally, to leading a new army to ruin the planet for the greater good. He is, however, overall a more positive portrayal than Char was. For one thing, Char backstabbed everybody he came across, whereas Zechs is devoted to his friends and the soldiers under him (Otto being a great example, as Zechs mourned his death). Char blamed others for his mistakes, whereas Zechs took responsibility (in fact, often [[ItsAllMyFault too much]]). Lastly Char felt justified in doing a ColonyDrop, [[spoiler:in the case of Zechs, it was an accident and he risked his own life to stop it from happening.]]

* MalevolentMaskedMen: As part of his portrayal as a CharClone, he has a similar mask to the OG example and at the start of the series it's used to raise an air of sinister mystery about him.

* CombatAestheticist: At one point Trieze betrays his benefactors (even when their forces on the verge of winning) simply because they want to use computer-controlled Mobile Suits in place of human pilots, which Treize believes ruins the beauty of warfare and turns it into a "game" played by anyone rich enough to afford their own army, with the innocents caught in the middle, suffering.

* VillainousBreakdown: She has a few of these in the final episodes. The first being her outmanouvered by Quatre when they both used the ZERO System, which angered her enough to order the firing of the ''Libra'''s WaveMotionGun on the Gundams. When that failed, she muttered "[[ThisCannotBe This can't be happening]]" over and over to herself, and remained mindful of that humiliation to target Quatre. The second was when she fought Quatre on a rapier duel using the same ZERO system [[spoiler:she wins, but the news of the surrender of OZ takes her completely by surprise, as does confirmation of her cousin Treize's death in battle. She had neither expected the conflict to end as early as it did, or for Trieze to be killed]].

* AdaptationalBadass: In the UsefulNotes/SuperFamicom game ''Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Duel'' she pilots the Mercurius, a better MS than any she gets to use in canon.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the UsefulNotes/SuperFamicom game ''Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Duel'' she pilots the Vayeate, a better MS than any she gets to use in canon.

* {{Expy}}: A more subtle case than Dermail, as while he takes the role of TheDragon to TheManBehindTheMan that is first used by Bosque Hymen of ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'', superficially at least they're distinctive from each other. What makes Tubarov qualify as Bosque's expy is the sheer tyrannical monstrosity they share, which is so evil in both cases that they succeed in making their otherwise quite villainous coworkers look better.

* HatedByAll: Tubarov's stint as space dictator is so disastrous that his entire staff turns traitor under him and sets him up to be captured by White Fang. When discussing what to do with him, the White Fang soldiers talk about how hated he is and muse that they will probably give the masses what they want and publically execute him after getting what little use as a political tool they can out of hm.

* MoreDespicableMinion: Like Bosque before him, Tubarov manages to make his boss and StateSec coworkers look better by virtue of being both more despicable and more hands-on in his villainy. Ultimately Duke Dermail is doing more harm to the world, but it's not Dermail who shoots Lady Une or tries to suffocate Duo and Wufei in their cell.

** To a lesser extent both [[TheRival Zechs]] and [[BigBad Treize]] participate as well. In order of above for Zechs (six, Talgesse/Epyon, Noin) and Treize (thirteen, Talgeese II, Une)

An "Insignificant technical officer" in OZ who works under Tsubarov. He takes an interest in the Wing Zero and its unique interface and believes it to be the next step in Mobile Suit piloting, surpassing the Mobile Dolls.

* BigOlEyebrows: Dorothy's trademark forked and long eyebrows.

* BlindedByRage: Often tries to invoke this, virtually everything Dorothy says comes out in the form of a mocking comment on another's actions or ideologies, ''barely'' framed as a sincere compliment. She does this in the hopes of rousing a reaction from whomever she is speaking with (most often Relena), but rarely receives the desired reaction. Rather than upsetting her, this ''always'' only amuses her and pushes her to continue. Very rarely does Dorothy ever come off as straightforward, only towards the end of the series do her defenses begin to legitimately break down.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: Looked [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/9/99/HeeroYuyPolFace.jpg very different]] in the main series, but was {{Retcon}}ned into [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/1/13/Kat-heero.jpg a dead ringer for his assassin's son]] in ''Frozen Teardrop''.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Katrina wasn't super tomboyish, but she was more active than Sabrina. [[spoiler:Katrina, who pilots the MS named ''Wyvern''. She even wears the CoolMask Zechs would later don.]] For contrast: [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1jq87uby61qcftq3o1_1280.jpg Katrina at the right, Sabrina at the left]].

* IdenticalStranger: [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/1/13/Kat-heero.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120927142552 Heero didn't only share a name with him]]. By the way, the girl in the picture? [[spoiler:Relena's grandmother Katrina.]]

* CharClone: [[spoiler: Her main accessory in ''Frozen Teardrop'' is a mask similar to one worn by her brother, Zechs Merquise/Milliardo Peacecraft. Hence [[MemeticMutation RELENA, SHE IS A ZECHS]].]]

* HotForTeacher: Katrina was in love with her tutor...who was [[ContrivedCoincidence coincidentally]] the real Heero Yuy.
* IdenticalGrandson: Katrina's granddaughter Relena looks like BOTH of them.

* LonelyRichKid: Sabrina, very much so.
* TheOjou: Both of them.

* BerserkButton: Don't tell her she doesn't understand Treize's ideals. Noin got slapped for that reason. Subverted though as Noin got the last word when Treize called off the mass bombing of the colonies.

* TheMentallyDisturbed: She's the classic Film/{{Sybil}}-inspired split personality sufferer, but not only does her condition develop through fairly silly circumstances (Treize gently criticizes her), she cures it in an equally silly manner (no medication or therapy necessary, just good old HeroicWillpower!)

* InfuriatingTheTarget: Virtually everything Dorothy says comes out in the form of a mocking comment on another's actions or ideologies, ''barely'' framed as a sincere compliment. She does this in the hopes of rousing a reaction from whomever she is speaking with (most often Relena), but rarely receives the desired reaction. Rather than upsetting her, this ''always'' only amuses her and pushes her to continue. Very rarely does Dorothy ever come off as straightforward, only towards the end of the series do her defenses begin to legitimately break down.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Has rather flirtatious interactions with Heero, Quatre, Zechs...and Relena.

* DepravedBisexual: Possibly. See "Ambiguously Bi".

* ShipperOnDeck: Openly ships 1xR in ''Battlefield of Pacifists'', trying to get them together and expressing disappointment when they simply exchange polite greetings.

* OnlySaneMan: While it's not saying much considering the nature of this series. Duo tends to be the one to point out the absurdities in any situation and, despite his grim reaper shtick, is the most level-headed of the Gundam Pilots.
