* InformedAttribute: There are some members of the group that aren't goth or punk at all. The original ''Pico's School'' included what looks like a {{beatnik}} as a RedShirt, while mainstay Hanzo dresses like a {{ninja}} rather than either of the main subcultures. The goth kids that would have been their protoges in ''Pico 2'' carry on the tradition through their inclusion of Durst, a Nu-Metal fan who couldn't fit anywhere else.

Added DiffLines:

* LonersAreFreaks: All of them were outcasts exploited by Cassandra due to their not fitting anywhere else.
* NonIndicativeName: Out of the members, only three of them are either goths or punks. Hanzo is an OccidentalOtaku, while the unnamed kids around Cassandra include a beatnik and a generic RedShirt. Even one of the "punks", Cyclops, is implied by Pico to be nothing more than a poser.


Added DiffLines:

* DevilishHairHorns: She sports a huge pair of hair spikes. These not only denote her as evil, but become her mandibles when she transforms into a Penilian.


Added DiffLines:

* PurpleIsPowerful: He has purple skin and puts up a tougher fight than Cyclops did.

* BigotWithACrush: She hates humanity yet according to Cyclops, has a crush on Pico that made her initially spare him from her classroom massacre.



* YouWillBeSpared: Played with. Despite her massive hatred of Pico, he's the only classmate that survives Cassandra's initial attack. Cyclops speculates that it's because of a crush, but it's left ambiguous as to whether this is true or she simply forgot him in the chaos.

Cyclops speculates that it's because of a crush, but it's left ambiguous as to whether this is true or she simply forgot him in the chaos. Averted once Pico makes it clear he intends to stop her massacre, at which point Cassandra throws her henchmen at him one by one before taking him on herself.

* {{Fangirl}}: Of goth music. She calls goth music "the best in all of time and space" and is talked down when Pico shows appreciation for the genre.



* EyepatchOfPower: Inverted. While Alucard, Hanzo and Casandra have their own boss battles, Cyclops is a very minor obstacle, which barely serves any real threat to Pico. Even worse, ''Love Conquers All'' reveals that the reason why he sides with Cassandra in first place is that the other kids were making fun of him because he wears an eyepatch. Played straight in ''Pico Sim Date'', however, where he TookALevelInBadass.

* HumanDisguise: Casandra displays this ability, and it's assumed that other Penilians can do so as well.

* VillainProtagonist: Of ''UFA'', which depicts them after conquering the Earth and submitting the human populace to cruel and humiliating acts.



** Because his classmates threw a birthday party for Pico and completely forgot about him, he decides to ''kill everyone in his class'' (sans Pico, who was abscent during his attack, and possibly Nene, who is implied to escape from the house before he was able to shoot her) and turns Pico's house into a hangout for other nerds and geeks like him.

Added DiffLines:

* GreenEyedMonster: He's motivated solely by jealousy of Pico.

Added DiffLines:

* HateSink: He's the most loathsome of the Goth Punks at a base level, [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain wearing swastikas,]] trash talking, shooting Pico even if he asks for mercy, and immediately dropping into pathetic and undignified begging himself the second he's disarmed.


Added DiffLines:

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He wears swastikas on his shoes. Though according to WordOfGod, he does it to be edgy and not out of anti-Semitic beliefs.

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* AdaptationalJerkass: In ''Darnell Has a Crush'' she refuses to date Darnell because he's black. Darnell responds by [[KickTheSonOfABitch filling her locker with explosives.]] And if the ending is anything to go by, it's implied that she ends up killing Darnell after giving him a smooch while smiling.

* InconsistentSpelling: Her name is either spelled with one "s" or two. This is a common in-joke among fans who would spell her name either way, sometimes interchangeably, even after [[WordOfGod Tom Fulp]] [[https://pico.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page?file=TomFulp+Pico+Questions.jpg confirmed]] that the correct spelling is "Cassandra".

* ImageSong: Gained one in ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'': "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp8VZY3mq_o Pico]]". It makes use of the drum and bass that's heard in many of his flashes, and even includes a {{Leitmotif}} of "[[https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1683 Endless Handbag]]", which was the background music of the Website/{{Newgrounds}} front page in the late 90's and early 2000's.
