* KangarooCourt: The Eclipsa plotline shows that they have absolute and monopolist power over the multiverse's magic justice. Sean mentions in "Butterfly Trap" that they rarely hold trials because Rhombulus is basically given free reign to put whoever he decides to deserve in crystal without ever having to justify himself to anyone, and nobody but Lekmet checks on it. If a trial is held at all, they are still the ones holding any power in it, and as Eclipsa's trial shows, they will ultimately rule whoever they want as evil.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: She wears a fancy strapless dress that reaches down to her knees, and fights enemies with it on most of the time.

* MrsRobinson: It is heavily implied that she has a crush on Marco. She is shown to really like him when he has abs, and even when he becomes his true younger self, she is shown to be flirty with him.]]


Added DiffLines:

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: When magic is erased in the realm, Hekapoo is neither to be seen nor heard of at all. She probably ceased living along with the rest of the MHC. However, considering that she is the most humanoid of the incomprehensible members, she could have just survived and just lost her powers, becoming mortal.]]

* AesopAmnesia: He admits in "Crystal Clear" that he needs to thinks things through more and sometimes imprisons people in error. Once Eclipsa is released, Rhombulus is [[InspectorJavert the most vocally insistent that she is evil]] and needs to be crystallized again, even though he repeatedly confuses her with someone else entirely. [[spoiler:He remains ''so'' convinced that Eclipsa is evil that he'll commit a serious, potentially-dangerous crime just to [[FrameUp frame her]], although it admittedly wasn't his idea.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: “Pizza Party” shows he is nonchalant and dismissive of the prospect of getting thrown in the dungeon or whatever punishment the Magic High Commission may have for him. Considering how many times he’s been sent to time out, Rhombulus has gotten used to it that it hardly bothers him.

Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Even at her most antagonistic, it's clear she ''does'' care about Marco, and is willing to do what she can to help him. [[spoiler:Even when backing Mina's attempt at Regicide, she specifically warns Marco not to go to Mewni for his own safety, cutting off portals to Mewni to be safe. And when she has her HeelRealization and decides to stop working with the rest of the Commission, becoming the TokenGoodTeammate, her first immediate thought is to save Moon, Star, Eclipsa, Meteora, and Marco from being killed by Mina, taking them to the Tavern at the End of the Multiverse so Mina can't find them.]]

That trope requires the pleasant demeanor to be an act, which this wasn't.


* BitchInSheepsClothing: Sean gives off an affable, dorky vibe but "Pizza Party" shows he's just as bigoted and uncaring as the rest of the Commission.

* BiTheWay: According to WordOfGay he was in a relationship with Lekmet until he sacrificed himself in "Starcrushed"[[note]]This was before it was revealed the members of the Magical High Commission are [[IncestIsRelative basically siblings]][[/note]], and in "Butterfly Trap" he thoughtlessly blurts out his crush on Moon Butterfly when asked by the Box of Truth.

Added DiffLines:

* DidntThinkThisThrough: They had Meteora removed as heir to the throne of Mewni (and the Royal Magic Wand) because they feared what would happen if a monster gained the power of magic. They forgot that, as a half-Mewman (of the royal bloodline, no less), Meteora already had the potential for powerful magic within her, even without the wand.


Added DiffLines:

* EntitledBastard: In "Divide". Despite lying to the royal family for centuries, and bringing about Meteora's rampage with their actions, they expected Star to accept their counsel, and showed outrage when Star denounced them as the liars they are. [[spoiler:They ultimately supported Mina's attempt to dethroning Eclipsa just so they could be "back on top" again.]]


Added DiffLines:

* GoingNative: They aren't native to Mewni, but due to spending a lot of time there, they have embraced their ways (including the pro-Mewman/Anti-monster beliefs) for their own.


Added DiffLines:

* TemptingFate: [[spoiler:In "Ready, Aim, Fire", Rhombulus and Omnitraxus defended the decision to work with Mina by saying "desperate times call for desperate measures" and "some risks are worth taking", respectively. This led to Star growing desperate enough to destroy the Realm of Magic itself, leading to the Commission's demise, and proving that working with Mina ''wasn't'' a risk worth taking after all.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ScheduleFanatic: [[spoiler:In "Pizza Party", he is content over Mina's rampage, believing that it will put Moon back on the throne, and allow a return to holding meetings with her, planning meetings with her, etc.]]


Added DiffLines:

* {{Deconstruction}}: Rhombulus deconstructs the idea of following a GutFeeling. He crystallizes anyone his "gut" tells him is evil, which is implied to have led to the imprisonment of many innocents (including a pizza delivery boy). It also means he refuses to see Eclipsa and Globgor as anything but irredeemably evil, despite any and all evidence to the contrary, solely because his gut told him so.

* EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler:They formed an alliance with Mina, who was ''already'' been planning on getting rid of Eclipsa before they thought of it. Only Hekapoo has objections and clearly doesn't trust Mina for their purposes. Mina ends up betraying Moon, making her intentions for the Commission questionable.]]

* BrokenPedestal: At least for the Royal Family following the discovery of Meteora's being made an UnPerson. It's made clear Star has zero trust in them any more and boots them out of the war room while trying to figure out what to do about the rampaging, nigh unstoppable Meteora. That said, Marco at least trusts Hekapoo enough to make her part of his team to try and stop Meteora.
