* AbhorrentAdmirer: Rasputia becomes this to Norbit. As children at the orphanage, the burly, bigger Rasputia saves Norbit from bullies but demands his affections in return. Norbit has no attraction to Rasputia, either by her looks or her personality, but he accepts to be her boyfriend because she is the only person who protects him and also because he is afraid of her. Decades later, they've married, though she takes him for granted and even cheats on him which breaks his heart. In spite of her own infidelity, the morbidly obese Rasputia demands that he have eyes for no one but her, which the long-suffering Norbit patiently does for many years despite her constant abuse.

Norbit [[BlatantLies suggests that the car shrinking]]... and Rasputia agrees, since it’s been raining a lot lately.
* NoodleIncident: Norbit mentions that Rasputia was banned for life from the Italian diner for eating all the food one night.
* PetTheDog: Rasputia actually does seem to be getting along with Kate for a bit at the waterpark, even if she does begin to project her insecurity around Kate by loudly bragging about having sex with Norbit. It’s the most pleasant she seems to be the entire film.
* PsychoticManchild: Rasputia shows shades of this, as when she is told “no”, she throws violent tantrums and screams like a kid having a meltdown. Her use of a potato doll for her threat on Kate’s life is also rather demented.
* RealityEnsues: Rasputia chases Norbit in a rage when Norbit curses her for cheating on him... but the chase doesn’t last long due to her being morbidly obese. She’s soon wheezing and crumbling to the ground, unable to carry on the chase.
* RunningGag: Rasputia having sex with Norbit, jumping on him and breaking the bed, and crushing her husband in the process.
* SexMontage: Norbit and Rasputia are shown having sex several times, including during special occasions (Christmas, the Fourth of July, etc.). Of course, given her massive weight, most of the montage scenes basically involve her body-slamming Norbit in bed and him squeaking out greetings in comical despair.
* StoutStrength: Rasputia is obese and can barely run, but she is a physical powerhouse in terms of brute strength, capable of lifting grown people and throwing them like basketballs.
* ThisCannotBe: Rasputia is so vain and self-centered that she cannot process the idea that she’s not the most desirable woman alive. She loses her mind when Norbit doesn’t do what she says, and has a complete mental breakdown when she learns he is cheating on her.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Rasputia is enormously overweight, compared to the very skinny Norbit.
* UglyGuyHotWife: [[spoiler: Norbit and Kate at the end of the film.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: Rasputia has proven to be a total tank that not even a crowd of people can stop her. What finally does? [[spoiler: A spear thrown into her butt by Mr. Wong, which sends her running like a chicken.]]
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim?: Rasputia's feelings towards Norbit. It may be because Norbit would be the only coward enough in town to accept being ruled by her.
* MoralMyopia: Rasputia is so delusional that she feels she has done no wrong by cheating on Norbit. If Norbit cheats on her, though? There’s hell to pay.
* MsFanservice: Viewers who are ChubbyChaser's may enjoy scenes with Rasputia, particularly in the water park sequence when she spends the entire time in a revealing bikini (and the makeup and special effects portray her obesity pretty convincingly).

[[folder:Norbit]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/EddieMurphy
A shy man, cowardly and insecure, but kind-hearted. Abandoned as a baby in an orphanage, he fell in love with Kate as a child, but after she was adopted, Norbit was forced to be Rasputia's boyfriend, a monstrous woman who turns his life into hell.
----
* AmusingInjuries:That is the only way to explain how Norbit can still be alive even though he is crushed by Rasputia every night.
* AwfulWeddedLife: Norbit and his life with Rasputia is a nightmare. The original script reveals that Norbit was born in 1968 and that the present plot is situated in 2005. Considering that Norbit was 10 years old when he met Rasputia, this means that the couple stayed together for at least 25 years.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: After Kate was adopted, Norbit prayed and wished for a girlfriend and a family. He got ... Rasputia.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Norbit when he works for Rasputia's brothers.
* ButtMonkey: Norbit, pretty much throughout his life.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance:
** Averted with Norbit and Rasputia. The two met in childhood, but the "romance" definitely came only from her, and nothing from him.
** Norbit and Kate, who beat the odds and get married at the end of the film.
* ChubbyChaser: Averted. Rasputia desperately tries to convince Kate that Norbit is one.
* CoolLoser: Norbit. The fact that Rasputia has to threaten a boy so he picks Norbit over a boy with a halo illustrates his status as one.
* CrazyPrepared: [[spoiler: Just in case anything happened to the letter, Norbit got in contact with Deion's ex-wives to reveal everything at his and Kate's wedding.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Poor Norbit goes through a lot. But in the end, he is finally free of Rasputia's hold on him and can marry his true sweetheart Kate.]]
* {{Expy}}: Norbit shares some similarities with [[Film/{{Bowfinger}} Jiff Ramsey]], another BlackAndNerdy Eddie Murphy character.
* ExtremeDoormat: Norbit until the end when he is willing to make a stand in front of the entire town and publicly call out Rasputia.
* HenpeckedHusband: Guess who?
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Mr. Wong had Norbit play in MSG/with severed duck heads as a kid and had him carry around a cardboard whale to use as target practice. And that is ''before'' Norbit met Rasputia.
* HotGuyUglyWife: Mild example. Norbit may be a skinny, dorky-looking fellow, but his wife, Rasputia, is a hideous, morbidly obese behemoth by comparison.
* LoveTriangle: A love triangle with four people, in fact. Norbit is in love with Kate, who disappears from her life after being adopted. So he is forced to marry Rasputia, although he feels nothing for her. Then Kate returns to town ... but now she's married to Deion, who is only interested in her money.

[[folder:Rasputia]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/EddieMurphy
An obese woman who has a cruel and sadistic personality, but also is clearly full of insecurities that make her abuse physically, psychologically and sexually her husband Norbit.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Rasputia becomes this to Norbit. As children at the orphanage, the burly, bigger Rasputia saves Norbit from bullies but demands his affections in return. Norbit has no attraction to Rasputia, either by her looks or her personality, but he accepts to be her boyfriend because she is the only person who protects him and also because he is afraid of her. Decades later, they've married, though she takes him for granted and even cheats on him which breaks his heart. In spite of her own infidelity, the morbidly obese Rasputia demands that he have eyes for no one but her, which the long-suffering idiot patiently does for many years despite her constant abuse.
* TheBabyTrap: [[spoiler:Rasputia]] uses this on [[spoiler:Norbit when he is about to leave her.]] But [[spoiler:we all know that it's a lie. She even forgets about it shortly after and says it was just gas.]]
* BadLiar: Rasputia is ''very'' clearly lying about being pregnant... especially when she claims a telltale sign is that she's getting "a little belly".
* BeneathTheMask: Rasputia puts on a highly confident, abrasive front, but the minute she feels she is losing control of Norbit, she loses her mind. Her favorite song seems to be “Don’t Cha”, which she sings in a much more demented fashion when she drives to go catch Norbit cheating on her; she immediately begins bragging to Kate how she apparently can’t keep Norbit off of her; and in general loses any composure when Norbit insults her in front of the whole town. A highly telling scene is towards the beginning when Norbit tries to leave her for cruelly running over his dog - Rasputia isn't even furious or ranting at him, but she's utterly distraught and begging him to not go and lies that she's pregnant. It very much appears that Rasputia actually has poor self-image and boosts it by constantly abusing and controlling Norbit.
* BerserkButton:
** Rasputia doesn't like it when Norbit doesn't do what she says and loses it when he stands up for himself.
** Do NOT mention Rasputia’s weight to her if you know what’s good for you... unless you find it attractive, then she won’t mind jokes about her size.
* BettyAndVeronica: Norbit is Archie, Kate is Betty, and Rasputia is Veronica.
* BigBad: Rasputia. Amusingly, she may also qualify as TheHeavy since she is the biggest (no pun intended) threat to Norbit, while Jack is the leader of the brothers (whose main power comes from the town’s fear of Rasputia).
* BigEater: One doesn't grow to be Rasputia's size without being this. Amusingly, as a child, she was delegated to eating only the wing of the turkey by her oldest brother. Norbit mentions she was banned for life from the local diner for eating all the food at some point.
* CatchPhrase: Rasputia has one: "How YOU doin'?"
* ChildhoodFriendRomance:
** Averted with Norbit and Rasputia. The two met in childhood, but the "romance" definitely came only from her, and nothing from him.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Rasputia is more than a little crazy.
* TheDreaded: Rasputia is feared and reviled by the entire town, and even her brothers are afraid of her. When she’s defeated, the townspeople immediately chase her brothers out as well.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: PlayedForLaughs. Rasputia is an abusive, violent woman, but she scolds herself when she swears in church. Then she swears at herself for swearing... which causes her to swear... which causes her to swear again...
* EvilLaugh: Rasputia did one after she [[KickTheDog maimed Lloyd]] [[spoiler:and another one during Kate and Deion's wedding when Norbit initially failed to expose Deion's unscrupulousness]].
* FanDisservice: Many, many scenes with Rasputia wearing short clothes, bikinis, lingerie or even naked, to the horror of Norbit, Kate and everyone around her. Of course, viewers who are Chubby Chaser's may enjoy scenes with Rasputia.
* {{Fat Bastard}}itch: Rasputia starts out as a domineering, abrasive child, and grows up to be a bitter, vindictive, and not exactly petty woman.
* FatComicRelief: Rasputia is a walking example of this trope, with countless jokes at the expense of her obesity. Though the movie can never decide on what her actual weight is thanks to her weight being PlayedForLaughs: she does not break the water slide she rides which has a 300 lb weight limit, but not only appears much bigger than that, but frequently seems like she weighs about 300 lbs more than that given her interactions with the world.
* FatIdiot: Despite being rather cunning in her own right, Rasputia often displays a lower-than-average level of intelligence. When she gains weight and can’t fit in her car, Norbit lies and suggests the car shrunk, which Rasputia agrees to since they’ve had a lot of rain lately.
* TheHeavy: Rasputia. While Big Black Jack is the default leader of the Lattimores, Rasputia is the main, personal threat to Norbit and the main antagonist of the movie.
* HotGuyUglyWife: Mild example. Norbit may be a skinny, dorky-looking fellow, but his wife, Rasputia, is a hideous, morbidly obese behemoth by comparison.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Rasputia - she cheats on Norbit and gaslights him when he confronts her about it, but acts very controlling and threatening as soon as Kate enters the picture.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Non-fatal example. [[spoiler:Wong throws a harpoon that stabs right into Rasputia’s ass.]]
* ImpliedDeathThreat: After finding him on his date with Kate, Rasputia threatens violence against her should Norbit ever see her again by way of pouring acid on a potato doll of Kate.
* {{Jerkass}}: Guess who?
* KickTheDog:
** Rasputia runs over Lloyd with her car, breaking his legs, for eyeballing her.
** She even [[WouldHurtAChild threatens to kill some kids]] and doesn't care if it is in public.
** When Kate is distraught after being told that Norbit played her to get her to sign the papers of the orphanage, she cries and tells him and Rasputia to leave her alone. Rasputia mocks her cries and laughs as she leaves.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Rasputia was not informed by her brothers of Norbit spending more and more time with Kate, and was ''especially'' not told about their date in which Norbit was tasked with getting the papers signed. Earl is terrified when Rasputia scares the truth out of him.
* LoveTriangle: A love triangle with four people, in fact. Norbit is in love with Kate, who disappears from her life after being adopted. So he is forced to marry Rasputia, although he feels nothing for her. Then Kate returns to town ... but now she's married to Deion, who is only interested in her money.
