History Characters / StarCrossedCrusaders

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In the original [=7SU=] fanfic, she winds up under Mariska's control via Shocking Blue in order to lure and attack Kakyoin and Avdol. Though given [[ItMakesSenseInContext the circumstances that led to it]], this also [[spoiler:[[GoGoEnslavement has her in a playboy bunny outfit for the duration of it]], which can double as FanDisservice given the situation.]]

** In ''Star-Crossed Crusaders'', while she had loving parents, it's later revealed in Chapter 26 of the original (and is shown to still be canon even post-rewrite) that [[spoiler:her self esteem issues, among other things were caused by Shiori Shiobana after Hitomi tried to confront her about how she treated Haruno/Giorno.]]

* AdaptationalSexuality: ''Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain'' has him telling Josuke about [[spoiler:how Caesar was his real first love before his death, as he was attracted to him, but he never got to tell him his real feelings. He doesn't mention Caesar explicitly, so this is only implied to the reader.]]
* DirtyOldMan: PlayedForLaughs in the original version of ''Star-Crossed Crusaders'', where one of his first thoughts after [[spoiler:the Polnareff murderdoll is destroyed is to see if it also has a penis (which is also a MythologyGag to ''Manga/JoJolion''). There is some brief hilarity as the real Polnareff walks in from his fight with Devo right as they checked]].

** He is the one who [[spoiler:saved the small [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Josuke Higashikata]] and served as an inspiration for his hairdo]] in this continuity. It also doubles as [[spoiler:a MythologyGag to the game's unlockable Josuke route]].

* DyingCurse: Original to this story, [[spoiler:as she crumbles away thanks to the UV grenades, she uses the last of her strength to foresee that Hitomi will suffer the same pain as her one day]]. It's unknown if this really rings true post-rewrite, as while [[spoiler:Hitomi's father is revealed to have died between the events of this story and ''Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain'', ultimately making Hitomi want revenge, this is something that happened with a [=7SU=] character, as it's still unknown how the final battle with Dio happened post-rewrite]].

* NotHisSled: [[spoiler:Thanks to Iggy surviving the encounter with Vanilla Ice, he's able to create a sand double of Kakyoin using The Fool while Kakyoin has his 20 meter Emerald Splash ready. Dio is only able to hastily punch the real Kakyoin and kick Iggy away once he realizes this and spots them, and it ultimately leads to him surviving the final battle with Dio. However, he still dies two years later.]]

* AdaptationDeviation: In the rewrite, he walks into the fog hotel's bar, thinking the noises he heard came from there. This averts his original role in the arc where he ends up trapped in the hotel's bathroom and ends up licking a toilet. This is lampshaded after Enya's defeated.

* CallForward: In the rewrite, he learns his hidden skill of shooting Silver Chariot's blade in the heat of the moment of his fight with Tina. Also doubling as an AdaptationalEarlyAppearance of said ability.

* HealingFactor: Before properly manifesting for the first time, Cardigans served as this, instantly healing Hitomi's minor injuries.

* ContinuityNod: In the rewrite's version of the Justice arc, he's the one to incapacitate Enya thanks to heading downstairs alongside Jotaro following Hitomi heading down. During this, he expresses disgust at Enya's Stand being capable of making PeoplePuppets, which is strongly implied to be fueled by what he did while under Dio's control.

* AdaptationDeviation: In the rewrite, he walks into the fog hotel's bar, thinking the noises he heard came from there. This averts his original role in the arc where he ends up trapped in the hotel's bathroom and ends up licking a toilet. This is lampshaded after she's defeated.

* AdaptationDeviation: In the rewrite, he walks into the fog room's bar, thinking the noises he heard came from there. This averts his original role in the arc where he ends up trapped in the hotel's bathroom and ends up licking a toilet. This is lampshaded after she's defeated.

* AlasPoorVillain:

-->'''Tina''': [[spoiler:I fell in love with you because you carry around a "dark honor", While you are ruthless to our enemies, you never did anything dishonorable… In fact, I even sort of looked up to you because our Stands are similar… Remember all the long hours we practiced dueling, so we could get stronger together? You told me before that I was your only girl and you were the only one among Dio's servants that ever treated me seriously as a warrior, even though I'm a lady…but then you became a traitor and joined the Joestar Group! Not only that, you chased every young skirt and forgot about me! You lost all your bite and become a neutered dog for the Joestars! You killed your real self, Jean Pierre Polnareff]]!

!Others

[[folder:Fredo Zeppeli]]
!!Alfredo "Fredo" Zeppeli
Hitomi's late grandfather, who apparently is responsible for a lot of bad blood in the Zeppeli family, according to Hitomi's father Sonny at the start of both versions of the story.

!Pre-Rewrite Characters / Characters from ''[[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureThe7thStandUser JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The 7th Stand User]]''
Below are tropes that apply to the characters in this story. For tropes that apply to them in the original game, see [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureThe7thStandUser here]].

[[folder:Steel]]
!!Steel (Stand: Dan Penn)
The MrExposition of the original game. He interacts with Hitomi a lot throughout the story.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: While him having been killed by Kira in the original game is AdaptedOut, he instead gets an original origin about him and his Stand. [[spoiler:He woke up one day in a hospital with no memories, and his Stand allowed him to see the memories of other people, including across timelines as he learns he worked for Dio in a past life. He then stole the arrow from Dio's mansion, and he tried to awaken multiple Stand users, six of which who awakened Stands all refused. Hitomi was the last one he managed to awaken a Stand out of before he was killed by Joey]].
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:In the climax, he's seemingly killed when the radio he clings onto gets destroyed by Vins, but then he appears again, with a new body created by Berlin and Alicia, subduing Vins as the story's ultimate twist is revealed]].
* DefectorFromDecadence: Across timelines, no less - he remembers [[spoiler:taking Pucci's place as a Dio follower in one of his past lives]].
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Subverted, chapter 38 has him reveal to Hitomi that he's Fredo and explains to Hitomi what he knows, but then chapter 51 reveals that he's not actually Fredo and it was only a cover-up in case Joseph ever asked about him. It was thanks to his Stand that he was able to know Fredo's memories after coming into contact with his near-dead corpse.]]
* MistakenForGay: Tabasaki reacts this way when Steel tells him that he "needs his body".
* TheUnreveal: [[spoiler:The face of his new body seen at the climax is never seen. Even Hitomi chooses not to look at it as they bid each other goodbye.]]

[[folder:Utah]]
!!Utah (Stand: Saints)
A natural born, adventure seeking Stand User who Hitomi ends up training with and befriending.

* HeroicSacrifice: Holds off Vins to help Mizuno escape. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, this turns into a SenselessSacrifice: Mizuno still [[DroppedABridgeOnHim unceremoniously dies]] shortly afterwards, getting run over by a car upon flying into a bigger panic upon seeing Vins in addition to the distress of losing her hand.]]

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In-game, Cardigans can cure any StandardStatusEffects and even revive KO'd characters to full health. Here, its abilities are more limited: the Stand can still easily heal most injuries, but it ''cannot'' restore the blood that was lost during the fight.

* JokerImmunity: [[spoiler:Well, only one downplayed instance of it. In ''Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain'', a water clone of him ends up appearing after Jotaro is exposed to When Doves Cry's storm a second time, manifesting from Jotaro's memories. He's also not as strong as the original, as Jotaro destroys him by the end of the arc. The water clone is basically similar to how [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Ridley's "returned".]] It's still quite important though, as this causes Josuke to meet Dio and know a bit of what he's like]].

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Upon regaining a bit of his sentience, he has this reaction as the last thing he does before commiting suicide with his own Stand]].

* AdaptationExpansion: While him having been killed by Kira in the original game is AdaptedOut, he instead gets an original origin about him and his Stand. [[spoiler:He woke up one day in a hospital with no memories, and his Stand allowed him to see the memories of other people, including across timelines as he learns he worked for Dio in a past life. He then stole the arrow from Dio's mansion, and he tried to awaken multiple Stand users, six of which who awakened Stands all refused. Hitomi was the last one he managed to awaken a Stand out of before he was killed by Joey]].

* CombatMedic: Capable of fighting and healing with her stand.
* CombinationAttack: Performs one with Jotaro on Steely Dan, appropriately called [[spoiler: Beat to Death]] in ''7th Stand User''.

!!Holy Kujo, ''née'' Joestar (Stand: Unknown)

* UnexplainedRecovery: Her recovery from pneumonia in the first chapter of the original ''Star-Crossed Crusaders'' is treated like this InUniverse.

* DirtyOldMan: PlayedForLaughs in the original version of ''Star-Crossed Crusaders'', where one of his first thoughts after [[spoiler:the Polnareff murderdoll is destroyed is to see if it also has a penis (which is also a MythologyGag to [=JoJolion=]). There is some brief hilarity as the real Polnareff walks in from his fight with Devo right as they checked]].

** [[spoiler:The rewrite on the other hand, zig-zags this. First it averts the first example by summarizing that Avdol's encounter with Hol Horse played out the same as it did in canon. Later on, his presence in a flashback in ''Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain'' and how Kakyoin is explained to have died also retains his survival and ultimate fate from the original story.]]
