* BigBrotherInstinct: He begins the plot without one, growing more protective of Greg when he realizes how poorly he treated him before.
--> [[spoiler: '''Beatrice's Mother''']]: At least wait until the storm dies down a bit. You'll be no good to your brother dead.
--> '''Wirt''': I was never any good to him alive, either.



* CharacterDevelopment: Wirst
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: He thinks himself the responsible one, [[SubvertedTrope but isn't entirely]]. Often times he'll warn people of the dangers of what they're doing only to accidentally cause exactly what he's worried about.

* TookALevelInBadass: Part of his CharacterDevelopment. Wirt goes from being a non-confrontational CowardlyLion who is [[https://33.media.tumblr.com/1028153e39053605e47b1c9d03224d68/tumblr_neaix1hFRZ1r2jjjuo2_1280.png most comfortable following someone else]], to a character brave enough to [[spoiler:confront The Beast with the latter's own lantern]].

* ServileSnarker: Played with. She owes a debt of honor to the boys and is forced to follow them reluctantly, no matter how much she dislikes it. [[spoiler:While her annoyance is genuine, her servitude isn't - she was leading them to Adelaide to sell them in exchange for her human form.]]




to:

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: In contrast to Wirt and Greg who can't go home no matter how much they want to, Beatrice is in a self-imposed exile from her family due to her own guilt.

* BookEnds: He is the first thing to appear when the show begins, playing a small piano and singing an opening number - he later reprises the very same song, as the last character to appear before the show ends.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Foil}}: To Wirt, which emphasizes the latter's CharacterDevelopment. His isolation and singleminded quest to keep his lantern lit mimics Wirt's fear of socializing and Wirt's preference of safe, no-brainer solutions to his problems.
** [[spoiler: This is best seen when The Beast offers Wirt the chance to take on the Woodsman's role. Wirt (after his HowWeGotHere flashback showed him how flawed he was before entering the Unknown), refuses, having finally understood that such an existence is pointless and stupid. ]]

* ShoutOut: Her appearance - a blue colour scheme and heavenly glow - voice, mannerisms, and wish-granting powers make her very similar to the Blue Fairy from {{Disney/Pinocchio}}. Fitting, given that the cloud kingdom was based on animated shorts from the Technicolour era and those that predate it.



* FairytaleMotifs: Not just any wind, but The North Wind. As a character, the North Wind famously appears in many other fairytales, which helps establish the fantastic nature of the dream cloud kingdom, but also how bitterly cold the wind Greg and Writ are feeling in reality.

* [[spoiler: MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold]]
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler: His daughter, whose soul he believes is in the lantern.]]
* NoSocialSkills: He appears intimidating, antisocial, and speaks in cryptic sentences without explaining himself properly. This causes Wirt and Greg to easily mistrust him.
* TragicHero: He's devoted to keeping his lantern lit, which has made him a recluse in the woods, living only to harvest the oil from Edelwood trees. [[spoiler: He ultimately runs out of oil, and is given a choice by the Beast to harvest Greg's body in the form of a tree or let his lantern go out. ]]
* SweetAndSourGrapes: [[spoiler: After Wirt points out the Lantern actually contain's the Beast's soul and not his daughter's, he finally accepts that his harvesting of oil for the lantern has alienated him from society and will never save his daughter. However, after [[NoOntologicalInertia the Beast's defeat]], his daughter is seen alive once more, and finally united with him.]]

* ThePowerOfRock: Greg succeeds in using music to solve many of their problems and save the day. He livens up the school's mealtime by leading them in a rousing song - and then helps their financial difficulties by organizing a benefit concert.



* ApatheticTeacher: Downplayed. She clearly enjoys her job, but is prevented from caring for her students properly due to her emotional baggage.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Her IAmSong, 'Langtree's Lament', establishes that the man who abandoned her, Jimmy Brown, was her only love. She's miserable and hasn't moved on due to this.

* KleptomaniacHero: He spends a majority of his second appearance trying to rob Quincy Endicott, and unlike Beatice, he doesn't seem driven to steal out of necessity.
-->'''Wirt''': Fred's a talking horse. He can do whatever he wants.
-->'''Fred''': *BlankStare* I want to steal



* AffectionateNickname: Greg, who treats him as if he were truly his uncle, addresses him as "Unkie".
* LoveBeforeFirstSight: He falls in love with a portrait of a woman before even meeting her.
* NiceHat: Owns a tophat which matches his suit.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: For all his wealth, Wirt and Greg easily fool him into accepting them as his nephews.
* UpperClassTwit: He apparently runs a tea company, but is not shown doing anything related to work. He admits in his ghost-obsessed state, he even neglected to feed his pets.



* AnimalMotifs: Like a black widow spider, she has a red hourglass pattern on her shawl, a web of yarn strung around her house, and [[spoiler:traps Wirt and Greg by [[AllWebbedUp wrapping them bodily in yarn]]]].
