History Characters / RiseOfTheGuardians

* BigBrotherInstinct: Despite being hostile towards Jack, he still has shades of this as shown when Pitch made a low blow against the boy.

* ScareEmStraight: [[AllThereInTheManual Supplemental materials]] created by one of the film’s artists indicate that he was once a well-intentioned (if perhaps misguided) figure with this as his philosophy. This comic contradicts the books, however, so is prbably Secondary canon.

* ScareEmStraight: [[AllThereInTheManual Supplemental materials]] created by one of the film’s artists indicate that he was once a well-intentioned (if perhaps misguided) figure with this as his philosophy.

* BadassAdorable: Next to Sandy, he has the most offensive power among the Guardians.

* BadassAdorable: Without question, he out-badasses the rest of the cast in the film. [[spoiler:This is probably why he gets killed fairly early in, and his return at the end immediately turns the tables.]]

* BadassAdorable

** [[spoiler:When Jack was still human, he and his sister were playing on a frozen lake. When the ice started to crack beneath his sister's feet, Jack used his staff to swap his position with hers, which caused him to fall into the lake himself and drown.]]

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Tooth Fairy is like this when it comes to her love of teeth.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A {{Badass}} [[BoisterousBruister Boisterous]] Russian [[BadassSanta Santa]] who is capable of DualWielding two [[HeroesPreferSwords large sabres]]. Is there anything more that needs to be said?

* AntiHero: Jack falls under Type II; brave and heroic at heart, but also an incorrigible trickster who prefers to work alone.

* {{Badass}}

* CharacterExaggeration: Of all the original Guardians, he shows the biggest changes between book and movie, going from a calm, technically inclined, chocolate hobbyist, to slightly hot headed nature warrior.

* TheCutie: Oh god is she. In a movie with fairies, bunnies, elves and sentinent easter eggs, Sophie is easily the most adorable thing in it. Even Bunnymund isn't immune to her.

* BadassCrew: Everyone who works for the guardians--the Yetis, faeries, elves, egg golems, and so on. While most of the faeries are captured early on, Baby Tooth proves they can still be awesome by herself.

!!Tooth (Tooth Fairy) [-(IslaFisher)-]

* [[spoiler:DeathActivatedSuperPower]]: [[spoiler:According to the novel, Jack became a guardian after drowning in a lake.]]

* TheHeart: While Jack doesn't keep the Guardians together, he helps them reconnect with children after it is revealed that they've been working so long that they forgotten how.

* FragileSpeedster: He is nimble and can dole out a few hard knocks, but easily stuffed into a sack.

* IneffectualLoner: Not that he wants to be alone.

* IneffectualLoner

* MagicStaff: He doesn't necessarily need it to access his powers per se, but the staff allows him to channel it and seemingly amplify it. It also seems to be connected to him directly in some fashion as being forcefully separated from it [[spoiler: or having it broken]] cause him visible pain.

* NotQuiteFlight: Compared to Tooth's actual flight and Sandy's levitation, Jack flails around while airborne - this is because it appears that his "flying" is less that and more "uncontrolled riding the air." Best exemplified towards the beginning of the movie where he literally calls on the wind to bring him home.

* BoisterousBruiser: “This is going to be ‘’epic’’!”

* Badass

* FriendToAllChildren: In the film, he has the closest relationship to children and is regularly around them.

* TheHero: Specifically, for the film- where his addition to the Big Four is the primary story arc.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:As a human, while on a frozen lake, Jack used his staff to swap his position with his sister's on thin ice in order to get her out of danger of falling into the lake through the cracks, which caused him to fall into it himself and drown.]]

* InnocentBlueEyes: Of the icy variety. They were brown when he was human.

* MagicStaff: He doesn't necessarily need it to access his powers per se, but the staff allows him to channel it and seemingly amplify it. It also seems to be connected to him directly in some fashion as being forcefully separated from it [[spoiler: or having it broken]] cause him visible discomfort.
* MrFanservice: He already attracted an army of fangirls before the film was released.
* NatureSpirit: Of winter of course.
* NotQuiteFlight: Look closely, compared to Tooth's actual flight and Sandy's levitation, Jack flails around while airborne- this is because it appears that his "flying" is less that and more "riding the air." Best exemplified towards the beginning of the movie where he literally calls on the wind to bring him home.

** ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's been around at least since the early colonial America's it looks like.

* ThePrankster

* VocalDissonance: Chris Pine pretty much uses his normal register when voicing him, letting the viewer know that Jack is much older than he seems.

!!Others

* DeadpanSnarker: “What are you going to do, leave a ‘’coin’’ under my ‘’pillow’’?”
