History Characters / NIne

* SamusIsAGirl: Her gender isn't clear until she starts talking, what with the lack of...

** And [[SpyroTheDragon Spyro]].

* [[CuteMute Cute Mutes]]

* AntiHero: Type IV or V

* [[spoiler: FamousLastWords]]: [[spoiler: "They left us nothing. Nothing. Why do we have to right their wrongs? Sometimes one must be sacrificed."]]

* HeyItsThatVoice: It's [[WesternAnimation/{{Up}} Charles Muntz]]! And [[TheSoundOfMusic Captain Von Trapp]]!

** [[spoiler: Which can count as JerkWithAHeartOfGold in his HeroicSacrifice]]

* [[spoiler: RedemptionEqualsDeath]]
* [[spoiler: TakingTheBullet]]

* HeyItsThatVoice: She's [[{{Labyrinth}} Sarah]]. And [[RequiemForADream Marion.]] And [[BloodDiamond Maddy]]

** TertiarySexualCharacteristics / NonMammalMammaries: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Like with Tigress from WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda, there are some clues (her hands are smaller, for example), but they're very subtle.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Call him [[Film/{{Chicago}} Mr. Cellophane]].

* TheQuietOne

* [[spoiler:SacrificialLion: He's nice to 9, then gets grabbed by the Cat Beast, gets rescued, and then immediately gets killed by Mr. Fab.]]

* RoomFullOfCrazy: He has an entire wall covered in drawings of the MacGuffin.

--->Voiced by CrispinGlover

--->Voiced by JohnCReilly

--->Voiced by MartinLandau

--->Voiced by ChristopherPlummer

* FoeYay: Inevitably. Fans like to joke about the scene where 1 is clinging (for dear life) onto 9's body after the Winged Beast battle. taken out of context, it looks like he's hugging him.

--->Voiced by AlanOppenheimer

* UncannyValley: That [[CreepyDoll creepy, creepy doll face.]] Covering a ''human skull''.

* DontTouchItYouIdiot: And if he hadn't, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero it really would have made things easier for everyone]].

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: And how!

* HeyItsThatVoice

* ShipTease: With 9.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: One of the most popular characters, with about four lines in the entire film.

* EnsembleDarkHorse

* HoYay: ''Buckets'' with 9 and 2.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Everyone likes to pair him with... EVERYONE.

* TheWoobie

* ViewerGenderConfusion or AmbiguousGender: While the Russian dub of the film explicitly states that 3 and 4 [[spoiler:contain the souls of The Scientist's twin sons]], WordOfGod states that their sex (if they have [[NoBiologicalSex any sex at all]], that is...) is up to interpretation.

* [[spoiler:TearJerker: The funeral scene.]]

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is it AxCrazy or just a scared and angry little kid with a lot of power and no idea what it's doing? Does it try to kill the stitchpunks because it's evil or because it [[OurSoulsAreDifferent wants a proper soul]]? The stitch dolls are all made of parts of the Scientist.
** Mr. Fab could be called 0, the first life the Scientist made. And since the Scientist's creations each represent one quality of human nature, with 1 being the most flawed and 9 being the closest to perfection, you could say that #0 is the most flawed because it ''[[FridgeBrilliance has no human soul]]''.

* HeyItsThatVoice: He's [[Film/BackToTheFuture George McFly], [[Literature/RatmansNotebooks Willard]], and [[Film/{{Beowulf}} Grendel]].

* HeyItsThatVoice: He's [[Film/BackToTheFuture George McFly]]. And [[Film/{{Beowulf}} Grendel]].

* MadnessMantra: "{{Go back to the source}}..."

* EnsembleDarkhorse

** Also, possibly, the Other Mother from ''{{WesternAnimation/Coraline}}'', an earlier work of Focus Features. The Other Mother has an affinity for dolls, has sewing needles for hands, and is very snake/spider-like...
** Or even the scary octopus baby doll from Sid's room in ''ToyStory''. Shane Acker stated that {{Pixar}} was one of his major influences, so it's pretty likely.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Call him [[{{Chicago}} Mr. Cellophane]].

* MamaBear / ActionMom: To 3 and 4.

* PaleFemalesDarkMales: She's white, and the palest of all the stitchpunks. It's hinted that her fabric has faded in the sun, though even when she appears in flashback she's a paler colour than 1.

** TertiarySexualCharacteristics / NonMammalMammaries: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Like with Tigress from KungFuPanda, there are some clues (her hands are smaller, for example), but they're very subtle.

The oddball of the group, 6 is [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} in his own world]] most of the time, painting seemingly obscure drawings which are actually of the talisman used in the film to bring the characters to life. He is actually an oracle figure, having prophetic visions which he expresses in his drawings; 9 is the only Stitchpunk to believe them, although 2 and 5 express interest. 6 has a unique appearance with uneven eyes, wild hair and fingers made from the nubs of ink pens. Because of his weird appearance and attitude, he is often avoided and ignored.

* [[spoiler:HighOctaneNightmareFuel: Most people agree his death scene was both this and a TearJerker.]]

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: [[spoiler:What happened to [[{{The Big Guy}} 8]]]]. And, well, [[strike: most things]] '''EVERYTHING''' about her, really.

* [[spoiler: FamousLastWords]]: [[spoiler: "They left us nothing. Nothing. Why do we have to right their wrongs? Sometimes one must be sacrificed.]]

* {{Expy}}: Of GLaDOS. Firstly, its appearance to [[{{Portal}} GLaDOS]] is uncanny; it first moves around by swiveling on a giant arm that is attached above and the glowing eye in a sphere is exactly like a more steampunk version of a GLaDOS personality core. Second, it 'attacks' with drones and machines, particularly gun-drones with machineguns, and finally it uses a deadly gas toxin (possibly a nerve gas) for an area of effect attack.

* HeyItsThatVoice: The Scientist is voiced by Falkor from the NeverendingStory.

* ViewerGenderConfusion or AmbiguousGender: While the Russian dub of the film explicitly states that 3 and 4 [[spoiler:contain the souls of The Scientist's twin sons]], WordOfGod states that their gender (if they have [[NoGender any gender at all]], that is...) is up to interpretation.
** Technically, since they're dolls, they have no physical gender.
