[[/folder]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Isn't seen or heard from after being saved by Lucy's CombatTentacles. Justified as Lucy ran away to avoid [[YouMonster being called a monster like the other bystanders]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Sean]]
* PosthumousCharacter: Presumably deceased.

* BloodKnight: As the anime shows, Lucy takes absolute, almost sadistic pleasure in fighting, and she's ''not'' subtle about it. She's constantly giggling while fighting and even goes as far as disobeying direct orders just so she can have a chance to rip her opponent to shreds, not thinking nor caring about the consequences.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Her [[MagicEye right eye]] is mainly red with a hint of yellow.

* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Subverted. She's not so much evil, but definitely crazy. After being labeled a monster, directly by her two friends and indirectly by other people, and taking some time to think about it, she eventually decides to stop caring what people think and embraces it, becoming far more chaotic. A monster kid with some crazy power is ''"exactly who she's supposed to be"'' according to her, and she changes her attitude and look as a result.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Until the incident that awakened her power. Jump to present time, and she's pretty wild and chaotic.

* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: One of her loading screens mentions this as part of her backstory. She confirms that she was raised in an orphanage in the short.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: As mentioned her skin tone is a deep tan/brown shade while her hair is mainly a bright yellow.

* ParentalAbandonment: The anime implies that something happened to Emma's parents when she was young.
* SuperHearing: Can hear from great distances, which allows her to listen in on shady deals and meetings and prepare to intercept them the following night.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Each character is in the process of getting this in both the tie-in animated series and game's story mode.

* FountainOfYouth: Berecca, Burton, Ron and Jane are all adults who turned into children as a side-effect of chewing Ninja-Gum. Burton and Berecca chewed it without knowing its effects, Ron decided to chew a gumball willingly in an effort to help disguise himself, and in the Jane's case [[UnfortunateItemSwap it was accidental]]...

* NinjaSchool: Each of the eight characters have some connection to WNA HQ and Academy or reason to go there or take part in Ninjala. Van is training while trying to find out why his dad was attacked. Lucy was encouraged by her parents to understand her power and make friends like her. Ron and Jane are part of the WNA in some fashion and implied to have been sent to research the development of the ninja-gum. Berecca and Burton hope to find a way to undo the AgeLift side effects of their own ninja-gum by taking part in Ninjala.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: To summarize the full team, we have: a ninja slacker with a talent for basketball, a no-nonsense scientist, an UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein enthusiast, an [[AntiHero anti-heroic]] DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent, a CuteAndPsycho girl with an EyepatchOfPower hiding her MagicalEye, a [[TheAce ninja prodigy]] from Japan, a [[GeniusSweetTooth hacker with a penchant for sweets]], and a [[DanceBattler street dancer moonlighting as a vigilante]]. [[MoveAlongNothingToSeeHere Nothing out of ordinary here]]...

* ADayInTheLimelight: is the main protagonist of the chapter one story mode and is the first main focus in the Ninjala anime episode ''Bloodline of the Shinobi''.
* DisappearedDad: Van's father is not seen after he saved his son from a fire, following a clash from an evil ninja. His fate is zigzagged as the loading screen in the game says he died while in the anime short he was hospitalized.

* SeriesMascot: Shares this role with Berecca and Gumchi.

* StockShonenHero: On the character choice screen he gets described as being like the hero in a kids manga.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Is the focus of the story mode's second chapter. She also shares some screentime with Burton and Ron in the prologue episode.
* AerithAndBob: "Berecca" is a rather strange name in comparison to most other cast members even if a simple letter swap can turn it into the much normal "Rebecca".
* DelinquentHair: Far from a delinquent, but sports a swirly pompadour.

* MissingMom: Chapter Two of the story mode shows that Berecca's father is presumed dead, but there is no mention of her mother at all.

* SirSwearsALot: A female example of this trope, in chapter two of the Ninjala story mode Berreca says "Damn it!" while fighting enemy Ninjas. Makes sense considering she used to be an adult.
* TomboyishPonytail

* ADayInTheLimelight: Shares screentime with Ron and Berreca in the prologue episode "Ninja Gum is born".
* CoolLoser: Despite being quite nerdy with his tendencies to quote Thomas Edison and is great knowledge of ninja gum and the ninja ancestry itself he balances this out with his combating skills and love of beatboxing (in the game he makes beatboxing sounds usually when he is happy or even sad).

* HiddenDepths: He's shown to be able to defend himself in his fight against Ron in Episode 0. His ninja heritage and the power of the ninja-gum likely helped.

* BigEater: Is shown to be this in episode 10 of the anime, likely as RuleOfFunny.
* TheMole: The fact that he was planning to kill Burton and possibly Berecca after seeing the ninja-gum in action implies that he has ulterior motives for stealing it, let alone infiltrating the lab. What those motives are remain unknown.

* SaiGuy: Carried a pair along with his sword.

* ADayInTheLimelight: is the main focus in the second Ninjala anime episode ''A Secret Eye''.
* BloodKnight: As the anime shows, Lucy takes absolute pleasure in fighting, and she's ''not'' subtle about it. She's constantly giggling while fighting and even goes as far as disobeying direct orders just so she can have a chance to rip her opponent to shreds.

* ADayInTheLimelight: is the main focus in the fourth Ninjala anime episode ''The Shinobi Village''.

* TooKinkyToTorture: Possibly a G-Rated variant as he was willing to have Gumchi eat him to prove no harm came to humans the Space Ninjas consumed in Chapter Two of Story Mode.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: While not as dark as Ron she does have a darker skin tone compared to the rest of the main cast. it is worth noting that her hairstyle similarly to Ron are long dreads, which could say something about her race.

* GratuitousEnglish: In the anime, she regularly inserts and English word or phrase in her speech.

* ADayInTheLimelight: She's the main focus in the third Ninjala webtoon episode, ''A Beautiful Intruder''.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Has the darkest skintone out of the main cast and his hairstyle is undercut dreads.

* CombatTentacles: Based on the anime short, she has the ability to turn metal objects such as street signs into tentacles that she can control at will. The game, however, has no mention of this ability.
* CuteAndPsycho: Wears torn punk clothes, has an unhinged/crazy personality, and her concept art shows her carrying a stop sign as a weapon. The anime short reveals what led her to [[ThenLetMeBeEvil go this route]].

* EyepatchOfPower: A cosmetic example. She wears it to hide her red eye that displays the abilities she inherited from her mother's shinobi ancestry.

* MagicalEye: The source of her hidden power, covered by her EyepatchOfPower.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Her MagicEye is mainly red with a hint of yellow.

* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Subverted. She's not so much evil, just a bit nuts. After being labeled a monster, directly by her two friends and indirectly by other people, and taking some time to think about it, she eventually decides to stop caring what people think and embraces it, becoming far more chaotic. A monster kid with some crazy power is ''"exactly who she's supposed to be"'', according to her, and she changes her attitude and look as a result.

* SirSwearsALot: A female example of this trope, in chapter two of the Ninjala story mode Berreca says "Damn it!" while fighting enemy Ninjas.

* SirSwearsALot: A G-rated example of this trope. Burton says "Who the hell are you?" in the prologue episode and in the game says "crap". He is only one of two characters in the main cast so far to say these "naughty" words, the other being Berecca.

* TightsUnderShorts: Wore these as an adult.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is a pink pompadour.

* MixedAncestry: Implied. Due to ninja clans originating in Japan before immigrating during the Meiji Restoration, all the characters have Japanese ancestry somewhere on their family tree. Also enforced as the children must have some ninja ancestry in order to compete in Ninjala.
