Regulars at the Snuggly Duckling Bar, these guys seem like your typical tough nuts who
* AdaptationalNameChange: Short Thug becomes Shorty in the series.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Gunther, who's noticeably thinner and more well-groomed than his brethren, and does interior design on the side. [[http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/File:Gunther_(Tangled).png Not to mention what he's wearing:]] a ''fur'' open sleeveless vest ''with nothing underneath'', and on his lower half something appearing to be tights. In fact, only Big Nose's and Short Thug's sexuality have ever been implied, and apparently they're straight[[note]]Big Nose finds love with a lady, and Shorty hits on Mother Gothel, and on Rapunzel in "Ever After"[[/note]]. Although, despite Rapunzel being the only girl in the pub, using Shorty as a replacement for the "little lady" might say something.
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Big Nose, who is voiced by Creator/JeffreyTambor.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Shorty can't remember whom he's talking to, what he talks about, and he has a very short attention span. Plus, he engages in habits that are strange even by his companions' standards, such as talking to inanimate objects. In the movie, it was easily interpreted as him just being intoxicated as he is introduced in a tavern, but he is only shown acting this way in the series outside of the pub, implying some kind of mental handicap.
* AscendedExtra:
** Hook Foot in the series. He was a minor recurring character in the first season but got bumped up into being a major character in the second season, appearing in nearly every episode (with his own focus episodes) as a result of accompanying Rapunzel, Eugene, Cassandra and Lance on their season-long quest, that is before deciding to follow his dreams and [[PutOnABus go on tour with his brother]].
** Shorty, who has a few lines of dialogue as a background character, has significantly more lines in the animated series.
* BadGuyBar: The Snuggly Duckling looks like a stereotypical one of these, being filled with scary-looking thugs.
* BeneathTheMask: It's revealed that they all deep down want to leave the thug life to turn their hobbies (which [[RealMenWearPink aren't stereotypically masculine]]) into their work.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: First they don't seem nice at all, but only scary. After we find out their hidden soft sides, they yet again kick ass at the end of the movie to free Flynn--they won't stand for an innocent man being executed.
* BigBrotherBully: Hook Hand to Hook Foot. In the series, he has a HeelRealization and they reconcile.
* BigDamnHeroes: Their busting Flynn/Eugene out of prison.
* ButtMonkey: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Big Nose]] is treated this way by the other thugs, especially HookHand. During "I've Got a Dream", Hook Hand first violently throws Big Nose away like a puppet and later delivers him a big punch into his face. Then as Big Nose sings himself, one of the thugs literally vomits from seeing his face (Big Nose is even [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] it by singing "My face leaves people screaming").
** In the series, Hook Foot tends to be subjected to copious amounts of slapstick, along with Eugene and Lance.
* CanonImmigrant: Hook Hand's younger brother Hook Foot, who debuts in the series, but didn't appear in the movie.
* ChekhovsGunman: They sing the hilarious song "I've Got A Dream", about all their most cherished dreams. Later, the [[ChekhovsSkill skills relating to these dreams]] come in handy when they band together to rescue Flynn from execution, thanks in part to Maximus.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Shorty is pretty much this compared to the other thugs. He is the only character that [[BreakingTheFourthWall directly looks at the viewer]]; seems to have a fascination for flying (roped up to the ceiling during "I've Got a Dream", and even floating up the sky on balloons at the end); says nothing during the whole movie except for one line which is blatantly hitting on Mother Gothel -- remarkable in itself[[note]]The ''one'' other word he's ever heard saying, in ''Disney/TangledEverAfter'', is ''also'' hitting on a woman: "Wow!!!" at Rapunzel... while she walks down the aisle as the bride.[[/note]]; is used by the other thugs to roleplay lovey-dovey things (a [[OldFashionedRowboatDate rowboat date]], even being Cupid); wears nothing but a loincloth (which can even easily be mistaken for a diaper...); and is so much smaller, less fit, and older (not to mention not equipped with any weapons to counter that) than the other thugs, that it begs the question how he can be a thug in the first place...
* ExtraDigits: Big-Nose Thug has an extra toe in each foot.
* FluffyTheTerrible: The Snuggly Duckling sounds a very fitting name for a bar whose main patrons are a bunch of scary-looking rogues. Subverted since said rogues are actually nice guys. The series shows they are quite well-behaved even in the castle.
* FreezeFrameBonus: Pausing when the thugs are fighting over which one will claim Flynn's reward (before the musical number starts), you can see that Attila (the baker) has a tattoo of a pair of swords crossed over a cupcake.
* GagNose: Big-Nose Thug has a huge nose. He briefly points to his nose during "I've Got a Dream", mentioning how he's afraid it will turn off romantic interests of his.
* [[GentleGiant Gentle Giants]]: All of them!
** Subverted with Shorty, who is physically more of a gentle dwarf-like person.
* GrumpyBear: According to Eugene, Hookfoot's default temperament is 'surly', to the point where his cheery mood in one episode immediately [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness grabs his friends' attention]].
* HiddenDepths:
** Fitting with the previously established template for the Snuggly Duckling thugs, Hook Foot is revealed to be a fantastic dancer in "The Brothers Hook", but he never had a chance to live out his dreams of going pro until recently.
** A tie-in comic shows that ''Shorty'' of all people is capable of making his own one-man newspaper company called ''The Corona Daily''.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: The thugs turn out to all have passions they'd rather be doing than being thugs, and free Flynn out of jail because they have a sense of justice.
* HookHand: One thug has a large hook hand. He's [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname nicknamed]] after it.
* HookHandedPianist: Hook Hand's dream is to become a concert pianist. In the epilogue of the film, and in Tangled Ever After, he is shown to have succeeded, somehow.
* {{Hypocrite}}: In "The Brothers Hook", Hook Hand, who is following his dreams of being a concert pianist, criticizes Hook Foot for wanting to live out his dream of being a dancer and calling Hook Foot's dreams ridiculous, while Hook Hand is actually being hired by King Trevor of Equis, who treats him in a belitting fashion, expecting Hook Hand to play flawlessly at the wedding of his pet seal Trevor Junior while King Trevor dances at the reception. After Rapunzel confronts King Trevor, she reminds Hook Hand of his past by bringing out his old hook when he was looking forward to his dreams, and calls him out for mocking Hook Foot's dream. At the wedding, Hook Hand decides to be more supportive after a mishap with the piano as he plays the music while supporting Hook Foot's opportunity to become a dancer, giving Hook Foot his jeweled hook so he can dance, and Hook Foot bids farewell to his friends to go on tour with Hook Hand.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Big-Nose Thug just wants to find true love, which he does at the end of the film.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: All of them to some extent, but Hook Hand especially. He's violent, abrasive and sometimes directly mean, but he's ultimately not a bad guy.
* JewishComplaining: Big-Nose's verse of "I've Got a Dream" has shades of this:
-->'''Big Nose Thug''': I've got scars and lumps and bruises, plus something here that oozes, and let's not even mention my complexion,\\
But despite my extra toes, and my goiter and my nose, I really want to make a love connection.\\
Can't you see me with a special little lady, rowing in a row boat down the stream?\\
Though I'm one disgusting blighter, I'm a lover, not a fighter, 'Cause way down deep inside I got a dream.
* LargeHam: Wait'll they start singing.
* TheLoad: Shorty. He's the least physically capable out of all the thugs, and is shown to be a DirtyCoward at times, meaning that in times of danger, he's not very helpful. In ''Beyond the Corona Walls'', he ends up eating the group's food supply while stowing away in their carriage.
* MisfitMobilizationMoment: When Maximus recruits them to bust Flynn out of prison.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Two of the thugs have the (nick)names of Bruiser and Killer, which sound disconcerting. "Fang" sounds pretty alarming too.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Big Nose, HookHand, Hook Foot, Shorty, Bruiser, Killer, Fang. These are also all ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin names (well, in the case of Fang let's assume - he's never shown). The other five thugs are called by normal first names though.
* PutOnABus: Hook Hand went on a world tour as a pianist during the series and has only been seen once since the movie. He's instead replaced by his brother, Hook Foot. Hook Foot himself later joined his brother as part of a music and dance routine.

A pair of young girls who are thieves and live on the streets, whom Eugene and Lance encounter and try to befriend.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Angry, who may have some Asian heritage in her background.
* BoyishShortHair: Angry, to the point where she's mistaken as a boy at first glance.
* FieryRedhead: Inverted. Of the two girls, the red-haired one is the ShrinkingViolet and TheQuietOne while the black-haired one is brash and outspoken (she's called "Angry" for a reason...)
%%* HeelFaceTurn:
* JustifiedCriminal: Angry and Red don't really enjoy stealing, but as kids living on the streets (presumably orphans), they have to get by. They're trying to run away from the Baron, and he's the ''nastiest'' crime boss to ever exist.
* NotSoStoic: Angry spends most of "Vigor the Visionary" in a state of childish wonder and excitement, and justifiably so since she thinks she's about to find her family. When she finally meets who she thinks are her parents, she [[{{Squee}} goes off on a chain of cheerful babbling]] [[MotorMouth so wild that it requires Eugene to translate.]]
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Angry and Red's real names are never revealed. In their second appearance, [[AppropriatedAppelation it appears they even take to calling themselves by those nicknames.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Angry is the outspoken Red Oni, while Red (ironically) is the Blue Oni in terms of personality, being shy, quiet, withdrawn and showing kindness.
* SamusIsAGirl: A wanted poster for the "Silent Striker" depicts a tall, slender man, but "he" is really two young girls in a TotemPoleTrench.
* ShrinkingViolet: Red, who doesn't speak as much, compared to her outspoken companion Angry.
* StreetUrchin: The two girls don't have anyone to care for them and live on the streets, stealing to get by.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Angry is the Tomboy to Red's Girly girl.
* TheQuietOne: Red rarely talks. At least, she gives everyone in the royal palace the silent treatment while Angry does all the talking, but at the end of the episode she has a few lines talking to Angry.

[[folder:Varian ('''SPOILERS FOR SEASON 1''')]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/varian_7.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Jeremy Jordan, Yasuaki Takumi (Japanese), Jeong Jae-heon (Korean)//
'''Appearances''': ''[[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries The Series]]''
A young alchemist and inventor who tries to study Rapunzel's hair in the season one premiere. Though initially a recurring ally, he becomes the ArcVillain of Season 1 after his father is frozen in crystal.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: Gunther, who's noticeably thinner and more well-groomed than his brethren, and does interior design on the side. [[http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/File:Gunther_(Tangled).png Not to mention what he's wearing:]] a ''fur'' open sleeveless vest ''with nothing underneath'', and on his lower half something appearing to be tights. In fact, only Big Nose's and Short Thug's sexuality have ever been implied, and apparently they're straight[[note]]Big Nose finds love with a lady, and Shorty hits on Mother Gothel, and on Rapunzel in "Ever After"[[/note]]. Although, despite Rapunzel being the only girl in the pub, using Shorty as a replacement for the "little lady" might say something.
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Big Nose, who is voiced by Creator/JeffreyTambor.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Shorty can't remember whom he's talking to, what he talks about, and he has a very short attention span. Plus, he engages in habits that are strange even by his companions' standards, such as talking to inanimate objects. In the movie, it was easily interpreted as him just being intoxicated as he is introduced in a tavern, but he is only shown acting this way in the series outside of the pub, implying some kind of mental handicap.
* AscendedExtra:
** Hook Foot in the series. He was a minor recurring character in the first season but got bumped up into being a major character in the second season, appearing in nearly every episode (with his own focus episodes) as a result of accompanying Rapunzel, Eugene, Cassandra and Lance on their season-long quest, that is before deciding to follow his dreams and [[PutOnABus go on tour with his brother]].
** Shorty, who has a few lines of dialogue as a background character, has significantly more lines in the animated series.
* BadGuyBar: The Snuggly Duckling looks like a stereotypical one of these, being filled with scary-looking thugs.
* BeneathTheMask: It's revealed that they all deep down want to leave the thug life to turn their hobbies (which [[RealMenWearPink aren't stereotypically masculine]]) into their work.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: First they don't seem nice at all, but only scary. After we find out their hidden soft sides, they yet again kick ass at the end of the movie to free Flynn--they won't stand for an innocent man being executed.
* BigBrotherBully: Hook Hand to Hook Foot. In the series, he has a HeelRealization and they reconcile.
* BigDamnHeroes: Their busting Flynn/Eugene out of prison.
* ButtMonkey: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Big Nose]] is treated this way by the other thugs, especially HookHand. During "I've Got a Dream", Hook Hand first violently throws Big Nose away like a puppet and later delivers him a big punch into his face. Then as Big Nose sings himself, one of the thugs literally vomits from seeing his face (Big Nose is even [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] it by singing "My face leaves people screaming").
** In the series, Hook Foot tends to be subjected to copious amounts of slapstick, along with Eugene and Lance.
* CanonImmigrant: Hook Hand's younger brother Hook Foot, who debuts in the series, but didn't appear in the movie.
* ChekhovsGunman: They sing the hilarious song "I've Got A Dream", about all their most cherished dreams. Later, the [[ChekhovsSkill skills relating to these dreams]] come in handy when they band together to rescue Flynn from execution, thanks in part to Maximus.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Shorty is pretty much this compared to the other thugs. He is the only character that [[BreakingTheFourthWall directly looks at the viewer]]; seems to have a fascination for flying (roped up to the ceiling during "I've Got a Dream", and even floating up the sky on balloons at the end); says nothing during the whole movie except for one line which is blatantly hitting on Mother Gothel -- remarkable in itself[[note]]The ''one'' other word he's ever heard saying, in ''Disney/TangledEverAfter'', is ''also'' hitting on a woman: "Wow!!!" at Rapunzel... while she walks down the aisle as the bride.[[/note]]; is used by the other thugs to roleplay lovey-dovey things (a [[OldFashionedRowboatDate rowboat date]], even being Cupid); wears nothing but a loincloth (which can even easily be mistaken for a diaper...); and is so much smaller, less fit, and older (not to mention not equipped with any weapons to counter that) than the other thugs, that it begs the question how he can be a thug in the first place...
* ExtraDigits: Big-Nose Thug has an extra toe in each foot.
* FluffyTheTerrible: The Snuggly Duckling sounds a very fitting name for a bar whose main patrons are a bunch of scary-looking rogues. Subverted since said rogues are actually nice guys. The series shows they are quite well-behaved even in the castle.
* FreezeFrameBonus: Pausing when the thugs are fighting over which one will claim Flynn's reward (before the musical number starts), you can see that Attila (the baker) has a tattoo of a pair of swords crossed over a cupcake.
* GagNose: Big-Nose Thug has a huge nose. He briefly points to his nose during "I've Got a Dream", mentioning how he's afraid it will turn off romantic interests of his.
* [[GentleGiant Gentle Giants]]: All of them!
** Subverted with Shorty, who is physically more of a gentle dwarf-like person.
* GrumpyBear: According to Eugene, Hookfoot's default temperament is 'surly', to the point where his cheery mood in one episode immediately [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness grabs his friends' attention]].
* HiddenDepths:
** Fitting with the previously established template for the Snuggly Duckling thugs, Hook Foot is revealed to be a fantastic dancer in "The Brothers Hook", but he never had a chance to live out his dreams of going pro until recently.
** A tie-in comic shows that ''Shorty'' of all people is capable of making his own one-man newspaper company called ''The Corona Daily''.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: The thugs turn out to all have passions they'd rather be doing than being thugs, and free Flynn out of jail because they have a sense of justice.
* HookHand: One thug has a large hook hand. He's [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname nicknamed]] after it.
* HookHandedPianist: Hook Hand's dream is to become a concert pianist. In the epilogue of the film, and in Tangled Ever After, he is shown to have succeeded, somehow.
* {{Hypocrite}}: In "The Brothers Hook", Hook Hand, who is following his dreams of being a concert pianist, criticizes Hook Foot for wanting to live out his dream of being a dancer and calling Hook Foot's dreams ridiculous, while Hook Hand is actually being hired by King Trevor of Equis, who treats him in a belitting fashion, expecting Hook Hand to play flawlessly at the wedding of his pet seal Trevor Junior while King Trevor dances at the reception. After Rapunzel confronts King Trevor, she reminds Hook Hand of his past by bringing out his old hook when he was looking forward to his dreams, and calls him out for mocking Hook Foot's dream. At the wedding, Hook Hand decides to be more supportive after a mishap with the piano as he plays the music while supporting Hook Foot's opportunity to become a dancer, giving Hook Foot his jeweled hook so he can dance, and Hook Foot bids farewell to his friends to go on tour with Hook Hand.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Big-Nose Thug just wants to find true love, which he does at the end of the film.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: All of them to some extent, but Hook Hand especially. He's violent, abrasive and sometimes directly mean, but he's ultimately not a bad guy.
* JewishComplaining: Big-Nose's verse of "I've Got a Dream" has shades of this:
-->'''Big Nose Thug''': I've got scars and lumps and bruises, plus something here that oozes, and let's not even mention my complexion,\\
But despite my extra toes, and my goiter and my nose, I really want to make a love connection.\\
Can't you see me with a special little lady, rowing in a row boat down the stream?\\
Though I'm one disgusting blighter, I'm a lover, not a fighter, 'Cause way down deep inside I got a dream.
* LargeHam: Wait'll they start singing.
* TheLoad: Shorty. He's the least physically capable out of all the thugs, and is shown to be a DirtyCoward at times, meaning that in times of danger, he's not very helpful. In ''Beyond the Corona Walls'', he ends up eating the group's food supply while stowing away in their carriage.
* MisfitMobilizationMoment: When Maximus recruits them to bust Flynn out of prison.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Two of the thugs have the (nick)names of Bruiser and Killer, which sound disconcerting. "Fang" sounds pretty alarming too.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Big Nose, HookHand, Hook Foot, Shorty, Bruiser, Killer, Fang. These are also all ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin names (well, in the case of Fang let's assume - he's never shown). The other five thugs are called by normal first names though.
* PutOnABus: Hook Hand went on a world tour as a pianist during the series and has only been seen once since the movie. He's instead replaced by his brother, Hook Foot. Hook Foot himself later joined his brother as part of a music and dance routine.
* RealMenWearPink: All of the pub thugs at the Snuggly Duckling. Some of their dreams include: floral arrangements, interior design, miming, baking cupcakes, knitting, puppet shows, and collecting ceramic unicorns. As for their hobbies, Big Nose is into poetry, as shown in the series.
* RunningGag: Shorty always appears in places he's not supposed to be in.
* SeriousBusiness: Singing, apparently.

Rapunzel's biological father and the King of Corona.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: He and his wife are implied to have this, or something very close to it.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the original tale, the parents didn't bother looking for their daughter after giving her up. In the film, both are obviously distraught over their daughter's kidnapping, but they almost lost hope.
* AdaptationalBadass: Not in the fighting sense, but he and his wife go from hungry peasants to rulers of their home. He also states he received the best military training, but that's kind of an InformedAttribute, DependingOnTheWriter.
* AdaptationalHeroism: The father steals lettuce from a witch's garden in the original tale, simply because his pregnant wife had a craving for them. They also disappear from the story and never seem to bother about the whereabouts of the daughter they gave up. In the film, the mother is dying. And rather than knowingly stealing from the witch, they find a golden flower that the witch had been using to make herself young. And the witch kidnaps the baby. Rapunzel is also reunited with her parents at the end -- and they're implied to have been searching for her all her life.
** Counts as ValuesDissonance because, before the Grimms wrote down the story, ignoring a pregnant woman when she was craving food was thought to make her ill, or affect her baby. It would've been perfectly reasonable for Rapunzel's father to do whatever it took to get her mother the lettuce.
* AscendedExtra: The King and Queen have more prominently significant roles in ''Tangled: Before Ever After'', the series and the tie-in novels.
* BigOlEyebrows: The King has thick, bushy, brown eyebrows.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: His only child was kidnapped and missing for eighteen years.
* DisproportionateRetribution: After Rapunzel was abducted, the King laid down the hammer ''hard'' on all crimes, including petty thieves. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Naturally]], this leads to at least one villain being created out of this mess.
* TheGoodKing: KnightTemplarParent issues aside, Frederic has shown himself to be a benevolent king who cares for the well-being of his family and his people. This is highlighted in the episode ''Not in the Mood'', where the mood-inversion potion turns him into his opposite; a violent war-mongering dictator.
* GoodParents: While he and his wife don't get much screen time, they clearly loved their daughter and, after she was kidnapped, spent the next eighteen years trying to find her, then waiting for her. As shown in the series, Rapunzel's mother is more supportive of her, and wants to make sure she's happy in her new life.
* KnightTemplarParent: After Rapunzel was kidnapped, the King went ''hard'' on all crime, [[DisproportionateRetribution including petty crimes]]. It sounded like a good idea to him at the time, but he underestimated them.
* HeyYou: As shown in the pilot movie of the series, he would offhandedly refer to Eugene as "son" because he had more important things to do than listen to him, but later on in the season, he begins mean it more affectionately.
* TheLoad: Despite being the brainchild of his prank on King Trevor, he ends up being this to Eugene in ''In Like Flynn''. He frequently ignores Eugene's advice despite the latter's experience as a thief, and nearly gives himself away various times, forcing Eugene to cover up for him.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: Love for his family brings out the best and the worst in Frederic, the worst being recklessness and forsaking reason and other people for their safety. He imprisons Rapunzel, lies to her about the gravity of the black spikes, and [[spoiler:invades her privacy by reading her journal]] in the name of keeping her nearby and safe. The season 1 finale reveals that this was his weakness even before Rapunzel was kidnapped by Gothel, as he uprooted the sun drop flower to save Arianna despite [[spoiler:Quirin's warning that doing so would unleash a curse on Corona]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The King's DisproportionateRetribution on criminals led to at least one criminal being created to avenge her father, who was a mere petty crook. While Caine has been in prison for the remainder of the first season, she may return to cause more trouble than just screwing up Rapunzel's coronation and there's probably more people out for revenge on the Royal Family, and one of them happens to be one of the most evil masterminds in the entire Kingdom.
* NiceGuy: King Frederic is loving and joyous.
* NotSoAboveItAll: While usually presented as rather stoic, he's shown to have a rather immature and petty side, particularly ''In Like Flynn'' given his childish rivalry with King Trevor.
* PapaWolf: Frederic and his [[MamaBear wife]] spent the last eighteen years searching for their daughter. And while the Queen is more laidback when Rapunzel returns to the castle, the King wants Rapunzel to be safe at all times--including putting half the royal guard around her whenever she goes out and refusing to let her go outside the walls without permission.
* ParentsAsPeople: Although Frederic is a kind and loving person, years of fear and inexperience with actually being a parent means that he's a lot more over-protective of Rapunzel than he needs to be and he ends up stifling the freedom she's wanted for so long in an effort to keep her safe.
* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: {{Implied|Trope}} to be the reason he and Arianna recognize her in the end, despite her long blonde hair having been cut and turned brown.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As stated below, Frederic is unwilling to apply the full extent of the law on children who commit crimes, and it's implied that citizens do have freedom of speech, as Monty did not suffer any consequences for booing Rapunzel.
* TheSouthpaw: When he paints on the portrait of the King of Equis in "In Like Flynn", he holds the brush with his left hand to do so.
* UnnamedParent: The King's name wasn't revealed in the movie. Their names were finally given [[https://ohmy.disney.com/news/2016/03/08/tangled-before-ever-after/ here.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His decision to remove the Sundrop Flower from its spot was what caused the events to unfurl in the series, [[spoiler:from the emergence of the black rocks and Varian's StartOfDarkness]].
* TheVoiceless: He and his wife never speak on-screen in the movie. The fact that these two characters have three of the most emotionally charged scenes in the entire movie is a testament to the animation quality of the movie.
* WouldntHurtAChild: Frederic is unwilling to apply the full force of law on children who commit crimes, especially those who are just trying to survive, and it doesn't help that there is no system for dealing with juvenile delinquents in the setting. In "Big Brothers of Corona", once he finds out that the thief happens to be two young girls, he's at a loss because he can't send them to jail (which is likely a harsh punishment in this era), but he can't let them off the hook either. Thankfully, Eugene and Lance proposed rehabilitating them.

Rapunzel's biological mother and the Queen Consort of Corona.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: She and her husband are implied to have this, or something very close to it.
* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Hasn't aged at all for the last eighteen years. You'd probably mistake her for Rapunzel's older sister at first glance.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the original tale, she and her husband didn't bother looking for their daughter after giving her up. In the film, both are obviously distraught over their daughter's kidnapping, but they almost lose hope.
* AdaptationalBadass: Not in the fighting sense, but she and her husband go from hungry peasants to rulers of their home. The series takes this further--the Queen defended herself by punching out Flynn Rider after he stole her ring.
* AdaptationalHeroism: The father steals lettuce from a witch's garden in the original tale, simply because his pregnant wife had a craving for them. They also disappear from the story and never seem to bother about the whereabouts of the daughter they gave up. In the film, the mother is dying. And rather than knowingly stealing from the witch, they find a golden flower that the witch had been using to make herself young. And the witch kidnaps the baby. Rapunzel is also reunited with her parents at the end -- and they're implied to have been searching for her all her life.
** Counts as ValuesDissonance because, before the Grimms wrote down the story, ignoring a pregnant woman when she was craving food was thought to make her ill, or affect her baby. It would've been perfectly reasonable for Rapunzel's father to do whatever it took to get her mother the lettuce.
* AppropriatedAppellation: As a child, her sister Willow [[TheNicknamer nicknamed her]] "Dare-ianna" because Ari, anxious about being shown up, would do whatever Willow dared her to do. After they go on an adventure together as adults, Willow starts using the term with respect and admiration.
* AscendedExtra: She barely has any spoken lines in the movie, but has a more prominent and significant role in ''Tangled: Before Ever After'', the series and the tie-in novels.
* ControlFreak: It's shown in "Way of the Willow" that Arianna does have control issues, feeling things have to be done a certain way. She even mentions that her sister never listens to anything she tells her to.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her only child was kidnapped and missing for eighteen years, and got robbed by Flynn Rider, so that's a double whammy of trauma.
* DeathByChildbirth: ''Almost''. Arianna fell ill in the last part of her pregnancy with Rapunzel, and both she and Rapunzel would've perished if not for the magic flower.
* FamilyEyeResemblance: She and Rapunzel have the exact, same eyes.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible to Willow's foolish. Arianna is TheHighQueen, while Willow is pretty much a hippie.
* GoodParents: While she and her husband don't get much screen time, Rapunzel's parents clearly loved their daughter and, after she was kidnapped, spent the next eighteen years trying to find her, then waiting for her. As shown in the series, Rapunzel's mother is more supportive of her, and wants to make sure she's happy in her new life.
* HappilyMarried: Even though their daughter's disappearance left them heartbroken, she and her husband still provided each other comfort and support through their marriage. As the series shows, she isn't quite shy about expressing it.
* HiddenDepths: While "The Way of the Willow" presents her as TheHighQueen, other episodes shows that Rapunzel's tomboyish tendencies are not entirely inherited from her aunt.
* TheHighQueen: The beautiful, wise and kind queen of Corona, even though she's technically Queen Consort.
* IllGirl: The Queen in the opening narration, which prompted the soldiers to search out the flower.
* KingOnHisDeathbed: The Queen in the opening narration, as stated above. She got better.
* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: The series reveals that Rapunzel inherited more from her real mother than her looks; Rapunzel's wanderlust and sense of adventure also comes from the Queen, who traveled the world in her younger days. They both also had an amazing variety of hobbies, as shown in her royal portrait. And furthermore, their reaction to being unexpectedly confronted by a thief (the same thief, no less!) is to whack them on the head with a blunt object.
* MadeOfIron: You'd be surprised at what she can live through; Arianna survived a carriage ''plummeting a hundred feet in snowy weather'' and comes out ''with no injuries'', so that's high praise indeed.
* MamaBear: She and her [[PapaWolf husband]] spent the last eighteen years searching for their daughter.
* MysticalPregnancy: Her pregnancy is of the "normal, supernaturally complicated" variety; she fell ill while carrying Rapunzel. The magic flower that she ingested as a cure gave Rapunzel's hair its magic powers.
* NiceGirl: Queen Arianna is motherly, forgiving, and humble, and very fond of and supportive of her daughter.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Note how much her husband King Frederic's appearance ages between the beginning and the 18-years-later end of the movie [[note]]In fact, in he seems to have ''overly'' aged, probably to show the sorrow he endured the last 18 years over losing his daughter.[[/note]] but ''she'' barely looks to have aged in between those years. As shown in the series in a flashback, the fact that Eugene attempted to charm her during a theft certainly lends more credence to the fact that she really does look that young, and could easily be taken for someone his age.
* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: {{Implied|Trope}} to be the reason she and Frederic recognize her in the end, despite her long blonde hair having been cut and turned brown.
* ProperLady: She is more emotionally resilient, or at least better at looking the part. She's also the one who literally pulls Eugene into the group hug at the end, when he hesitates.
* TheQuietOne: In the series, Queen Arianna is the least talkative, highlighting how tranquil she is compared to other characters.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Willow's Red. She's quieter and more composed, while Willow is impulsive and remarkably energetic.
* SiblingYinYang: With Willow. Arianna is composed, refined and reliable, while Willow is easy-going, irresponsible and flamboyant.
* StrongFamilyResemblance:
** The Queen pretty much has Rapunzel's face. That might explain why she was able to recognize her.
** She also looks very similar to her sister Willow.
* SuddenlyVoiced: The Queen says one line in ''Tangled Ever After''. Then again, it was in an ImagineSpot.
-->Those were my grandmother's wedding rings!
** And they're both properly voiced in the series.
* UnnamedParent: The Queen's name wasn't revealed in the movie. Their names were finally given [[https://ohmy.disney.com/news/2016/03/08/tangled-before-ever-after/ here.]]
* TheVoiceless: She and her husband never speak on-screen in the movie. The fact that these two characters have three of the most emotionally charged scenes in the entire movie is a testament to the animation quality of the movie.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: She says this to Rapunzel in "Before Ever After" upon giving her her journal.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tangled_willow.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Jane Krakowski\\
'''Appearances''': ''[[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries The Series]]''
Willow is Queen Arianna's outgoing, fun-loving sister, who spends most of her time exploring and adventuring. When she visits her family after a long absence, she instantly connects with her niece Rapunzel, who's dismayed to learn that her aunt and her mother are at odds due to their very different personalities and lifestyles.
----
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Arianna loves her sister, but she's extremely irritated by Willow's carefree and irresponsible personality. Not helped by how Willow likes to tell Arianna's subjects about embarrassing stories of their youth.
* CommonalityConnection: With Rapunzel over their mutual disdain for footwear.
* CoolAunt: To Rapunzel.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Just like Rapunzel, and the two of them bond over this [[SharedFamilyQuirks shared family quirk]] to the point that [[HandyFeet they briefly "converse" by gesturing with their toes]].
* EarthyBarefootCharacter: As she puts it, "How can you know where you stand in the world if you can't feel the ground beneath your feet?"
* FeetFirstIntroduction: The first thing we see of her is her bare feet.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Arianna, with Willow being the Foolish Sibling in the FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling trope. While Arianna is willing to forsake her own needs for the good of others, Willow is one who avoids planting roots in any place and with anyone.
** She is essentially Rapunzel without her redeeming qualities (at least at first). While each of them loves painting and adventure, blends in perfectly among the pub thugs, and prefers going barefoot, Rapunzel is attentive to other people's problems and is willing to commit to responsibilities while Willow is InnocentlyInsensitive with a bad case of AttentionDeficitOohShiny.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to Arianna's responsible. Willow is pretty much a hippie while Arianna is TheHighQueen.
* FunPersonified: {{Deconstructed}}. She's a friendly, flamboyant, fast-talking extrovert, but she doesn't know how or when to restrain herself, much to Arianna's consternation.
* GenerationXerox: She proves that Rapunzel isn't the first person in her family to enjoy painting, going on adventures, or running around barefoot.
* GenkiGirl: An upbeat, hyperactive PerpetualSmiler.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: After years of absence, she reappears at Arianna's birthday party. She instantly draws attention away from her sister (which she's been doing since childhood), gives Ari a dangerous pet as a gift, and accidentally disrupts Arianna's plans to watch a meteor shower with Rapunzel. She doesn't realize how much Ari resents her for all this until receiving a ReasonYouSuckSpeech. However, she means well and never hurts her sister intentionally, and the episode ends with the two women starting to repair their relationship.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Just as her sister does, she too looks surprisingly young for her age. It probably runs in the family.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Arianna's Blue. She's impulsive and remarkably energetic, while Arianna is quieter and more composed.
* SiblingYinYang: With Arianna. Willow is easy-going, irresponsible and flamboyant, while Arianna is composed, refined and reliable.
* WalkingTheEarth: She prefers exploring and adventuring throughout the world to settling down in Corona--or anywhere else.

!!The Captain of the Guard
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tangled_captain.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': M. C. Gainey (English); Mario Díaz Mercado (film), Beto Castillo (''[[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries The Series]]'') (Latin American Spanish)\\
'''Appearances''': ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' | ''[[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries The Series]]''
The Captain of the Corona Royal Guard, and the adoptive father of Cassandra.
----
* AngerBornOfWorry: Deconstructed. When Cassandra was six, he took her out to the sea and she nearly drowned after ignoring his orders to stay close. He was furious at her, but Cassandra was too young to understand why and only understood that the person she needed reassurance from, after she was already scared from nearly dying, had now turned on her and was scaring her even worse. As a result, she never learned to swim and still fears the water as an adult, because the Captain's reaction turned a frightening experience into a traumatic one.
* AmoralAttorney: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. The Captain acted as the Prosecutor for Atilla's trial and is quite biased against the defense because of his criminal history, even taking evidence at face value, especially when Rapunzel noticed other important details later on. To add insult to the injury, he wouldn't be qualified to be prosecutor, because he doesn't even know enough of his kingdom's laws, which Rapunzel even cared to read up on. However, he at least has the integrity to not allow miscarriage of justice.
* AscendedExtra: Gets more relative screen time and character development in the series than in the movie. This partly is because he is the father of one of the major characters of the series.
* TheCaptain: Well duh, it is his rank and he's the head of Corona's elite.
* DrillSergeantNasty: The captain also personally handles the new recruits, and he's definitely an unpleasant person.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: To date, no name has been given. He's only referred to as the Captain of the Guard, or just Captain even by Cassandra at times, though she does also refer to him as her father. WordOfGod [[ShrugOfGod isn't sure if they'll ever reveal his name in the future]].
* FatalFlaw: Pride. The Captain is fixed in believing that his way is always the right way and looks down on people who don't share his view.
* {{Flanderization}}: In the series he acts more like a stereotypical army officer who uses military jargon quite a bit.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Despite the fact that magic is real in this world, and that one of his men brought home a magic flower, he thinks ghosts are nonsense. Afterwards, he doesn't give a hoot that they are real.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He has a spiteful and bitter side to him (just ask Eugene), but does have the humility to admit when he's wrong and was/is a good father to Cassandra.
* KickTheDog: He has a particular grudge against Eugene, because of the latter's past as a thief (of the princess' crown, in particular). When Eugene applies to join the Royal Guards, the captain makes training even ''more'' difficult for Eugene; he pulls tricks on Eugene that would be considered breaking the rules, all to make sure Eugene doesn't make the cut. When Eugene passes, the captain decides to give him the job nobody wants.
* LockedOutOfTheFight: He is unable to join the FinalBattle in Season 1 due to sustaining severe injuries, but has Cassandra lead the assault in his stead.
* ParentsAsPeople: The Captain is a good man who raised Cassandra to be strong, independent, and thaught her the importance of earning your goals through hard work. However, his personal policy on keeping his emotions below the surface stopped him from giving her the emotional support she needed as a girl and needs now. This is why Cass turned out a WellDoneDaughterGirl who thinks the only way to please her father is to become a Royal Guard.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When Eugene isn't egging him on, he shows a much more reasonable side. When Eugene was captured in the movie, he took no joy in the pending execution, treating it as an unfortunate bit of business, rather than gloating. And after Eugene caught the art thief, he noted that while Eugene was a terrible guard, he was adept at thinking like a thief, and had Eugene school the rest of the castle guards on thinking like a thief. And when the Stabbington Brothers take Cassandra hostage, he has his men back off to keep her from getting hurt.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: In "Fitzherbert P.I.", the captain can make or break the rules simply because he can, and will certainly do so to make Eugene washes out at basic training and doesn't earn his chevrons.
* SkilledButNaive: ''The Series'' shows that the Captain is an extremely capable fighter, [[spoiler:best displayed when he's disguised as a mercenary, where he easily overpowers Rapunzel's gang, including Cassandra.]] Unfortunately, he's often prone to being outsmarted by cunning fighters like Eugene.
* SoProudOfYou: His smile when Cassandra takes the command of the guards during the "Ready As I'll Ever Be" song, as they prepare to fight [[spoiler:Varian]] to rescue [[spoiler:the Queen]] in ''Secret of the Sun Drop'', screams this trope.

* ButtMonkey: Practically nothing goes right for them.
* EpicFail: At one point, Stan has to serve as security detail for a guest during a convention while already on a tight roster. When he gets injured by slipping on an unmarked wet floor, the Captain reassigns Stan's job to Pete... who immediately slips on the same floor and gets injured as he walks into the room.
* FatAndSkinny: Pete is the skinny guy with freckles, Stan is the buff guy with a mustache.
* ThoseTwoGuys: They're the only royal guards that we see beyond the Captain, and they're always seen hanging around each other doing something comedic.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/varian_7.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Jeremy Jordan, Yasuaki Takumi (Japanese), Jeong Jae-heon (Korean)//
'''Appearances''': ''[[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries The Series]]''
A young alchemist and inventor who tries to study Rapunzel's hair in the season one premiere. Though initially a recurring ally, he becomes the ArcVillain of Season 1 after his father is frozen in crystal.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Attempts a dramatic entrance when Rapunzel and Cassandra come to see him and he's also a fan of the books that inspired Flynn's name.
* AlchemyIsMagic: He insists it's not, but people assume he's a wizard anyways.
* AntiVillain: He's a {{Woobie|DestroyerOfWorlds}} and WellIntentionedExtremist Type. As of the ending of "Queen for a Day", his goal is now to find the secret behind the mysterious rocks and reverse the condition inflicted upon his father... as well as take {{Revenge}} upon Rapunzel. He blames her, and by extension the Kingdom of Corona, for turning their backs on him when he needed help freeing his father, Quirin.
* ArcHero: Most of his appearances are relegated to the arc-related episodes, because he's ''essential'' to helping Rapunzel solve the mystery of the indestructible spikes that make up a big part of the season. However, as of the end of "Queen for a Day", he makes his transition into the ArcVillain.
* ArcVillain: The magical rocks turn out to not be evil after all, leaving Varian himself as the big threat to be dealt with in the first season finale.
* AxCrazy: When he fails to free his father with Rapunzel's hair, then sees Rapunzel in an embrace with ''both'' of her parents, Varian flips his lid and tries to kill everyone with a giant mech suit.
* BaitTheDog: Inverted; he's introduced wearing a bulky welding suit with his voice deepened by the metal helmet in a dark room, making him seem like a very intimidating presence. Then he lifts up his helmet and reveals he's very boyish and has a gentle voice. Played straight after the events of "Queen for a Day", which sees him actually [[FaceHeelTurn shift from good to villainous]].
* BlueIsHeroic: Generally wears faded blue. This is {{subverted|Trope}} when he becomes a villain.
* BrainyBrunette: Has brown hair and is a budding inventor.
* BreakTheCutie: Pretty much his ''entire subplot'' in "Queen for a Day". He loses his father to the mysterious rocks plaguing the kingdom, and Rapunzel ends up breaking her promise to help him while she's busy with her own problems.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Mother Gothel after his FaceHeelTurn. Both are willing to go to extreme lengths to use Rapunzel and her magic hair to achieve their goals. But Gothel was a VainSorceress who was willing to ally herself with the Stabbington Brothers to recapture Rapunzel, whereas Varian [[IWorkAlone relies on no one but himself and his raccoon]]. Additionally, their goals differ: Whereas Gothel was selfish and wanted Rapunzel to keep herself looking and feeling young forever, Varian has the much more nobler aspirations of trying to free his father from his crystal prison; [[WellIntentionedExtremist he just went too far trying to achieve them]]. Finally, Gothel was a BitchInSheepsClothing to Rapunzel, while Varian legitimately ''[[WeUsedToBeFriends was]]'' [[WeUsedToBeFriends Rapunzel's friend]] [[EtTuBrute until she refused to help him free his father]].
* CheatedAngle: Whenever Varian turns his head, his side-swept bangs never turn with his head, instead they flip to the other side.
* ChildishToothGap: Varian has buck teeth and while not childish, he is quite nerdy.
* ClothingReflectsPersonality: Varian’s choice of wardrobe is noticeably darker and duller than the rest of the cast, considering he’s always messing things up and wants to impress his father, but also reflects his eventual FaceHeelTurn when he vows revenge on Corona after being turned away during the blizzard.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: He could've made a lot of money with all his inventions and chemicals, but gold means nothing to him when he wants justice.
* DarthVaderClone: For starters, he tends to wear a mask that makes him look and sound intimidating. In terms of his character, he is a gifted, aspiring individual, but not without faults, some of which causes others to lack faith in him. Said lack of faith causes him to take determined, yet questionable acts that only build up to his fall. His fall is sealed when he loses a loved one, with said loss contributed to by his own actions. And for added flavor, the weapon he fights with is red.
* DaydreamBeliever: Thanks to Eugene using "Flynn Rider" as an alias for years, Varian seems to believe Eugene is the real-life version of the character from the Flynn Rider books.
* DeadpanSnarker: Following his FaceHeelTurn, he can occasionally be a lot more sardonic than before.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: of the TeenGenius. Varian is very, very intelligent and knows how to make inventions that would be huge technological advances for Corona...but he's also an impulsive 14 year old kid who doesn't always plan things out, often making his inventions and plans have dangerous flaws he's overlooked, ruining his reputation. His young age also gives him a pretty serious case of MoralMyopia, making him think he's just paying unto evil when really it's RevengeBeforeReason and his own inability to admit his fault in the tragedy of his father's encasement. It also means his ultimate goal, to use Rapunzel's unbreakable hair to free his father, doesn't work and he suffers a full on breakdown because he doesn't understand how his plan could have been based on an incorrect assumption (that Rapunzel's hair, being unbreakable, should be able to break the equally unbreakable amber). In the end, Varian's brains don't override the fact that he's a very young, emotional teenager who's not as logical as he thinks he is.
* DitzyGenius: Many of his inventions and plans have been known to be questionable, and have a chance of causing trouble.
* DoingInTheWizard: Played with. For all his strange reputation, Varian's "alchemy" is clearly regular chemistry and engineering, albeit with some [[MadScientist mad science]] thrown in, and he doesn't believe in magic [[FlatEarthAtheist despite being friends with a princess with magic hair.]] However, when he attempts to apply it to something that is explicitly magical in origin, he fails miserably at every turn: when he doesn't get no reaction at all, he at best gets undesired reactions for reasons repeatedly fails to understand.
* TheDreaded: In "Happiness Is...", Rapunzel hallucinates him [[FauxAffablyEvil greeting her evilly]] and [[RevengeByProxy trying to harm her father]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He contines to love his father after his FaceHeelTurn, and is obsessed with freeing him.
* EvilCounterpart: A younger one to King Frederic. Like him, he has undergone the loss of a loved one, which ended up impacted him mentally and emotionally. Said loss caused him to make desperate, yet questionable decisions along the way, and hoped against all odds that the things he would do would bring his family member back. Unlike Frederic, who kept himself at bay before he crossed the line, Varian only ended up becoming more and more emotionally unstable. It's no wonder Queen Arianna felt sorry for Varian, knowing well the pain he is going through.
* EvilFormerFriend: He legitimately was Rapunzel's friend until she refuses to help him free his father and he vows revenge against Rapunzel and Queen Arianna.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: He used to have a crush on Cassandra. So in the season 1 finale, he, in a giant mech suit, grabs her and says, "I always knew I could sweep you off your feet!"
* FaceHeelTurn: Pulls one at the end of "Queen for a Day" by swearing revenge on the kingdom and more specifically the royal family for not helping him after his father Quirin is encased in crystal. Later becomes fully realized by the climax of "The Alchemist Returns" as he betrays Rapunzel, and pushed to a new extreme in the season finale.
* FatalFlaw: Varian has been so obsessed with proving himself, but it's caused him to be very stubborn and he ends up disregarding others' advice, not even [[KnowWhenToFoldEm knowing when to fold 'em]].
** Even worse, when the inevitable backlash happens, he [[NeverMyFault refuses to accept responsibility for what went wrong]], and even shifting blame onto others whom he takes his anguish out on.
* ForScience: He tends to make inventions and do experiments that have a chance of putting everyone in danger out of scientific curiosity. Case in point, one invention destroyed his village, and another almost leveled the entire kingdom.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: After returning home to find Quirin frozen in the amber and vows revenge on those who ignored him, he proclaims, "They...will...pay." while clenching a fist and glaring angrily at the camera, almost as if he’s staring ''at the audience.''
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Might count as this, as he's invented a chemical compound to keep out vermin humanely. Subverted as of the ending of "Queen for a Day", in which even a raccoon friend of his [[ThisIsGonnaSuck is now afraid of him]].
* FromNobodyToNightmare: After his father is encased in crystal, he completely snaps, going from a geeky stranger to completely furious and hard-hearted, setting him as the ArcVillain for the remainder of the season. When Cassandra gave Rapunzel warnings that he's "dangerous" and "not good", she wasn’t completely off the mark.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Varian makes it clear he will do ''anything'' to save his father and seek justice. Apparently, he didn't factor himself in the equation, abducting the queen to lure the princess because the queen is the weak link of the Royal Family who wouldn't be able to fight back. Plus, he wanted to emotionally hurt Rapunzel rather than fight her himself. Clearly, the only cost he is unwilling to pay is his own life.
* IfICantHaveYou: A twist on the usual trope - when he is unable to free his father, yet Rapunzel is able to free both of her parents, Varian flips his lid and declares that if he can't have a happy ending, neither can anyone else.
* InkSuitActor: He appears to be a caricature of his actor, Jeremy Jordan.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Varian is blue eyed and well meaning. Or at least he starts out as well-meaning at the beginning of the series; by the end of Season 1, he seems to have made a FaceHeelTurn and to have become sinister, which turns him into more of an example of IcyBlueEyes.
* InsistentTerminology: He's insists on telling people he's "an alchemist, not a wizard".
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Varian is the smartest guy around, but it's clear he does not have that many friends (human ones at least), and noticeably has trouble relating to others and listening to them. For starters, he spends too much time in his lab. Most of the time though, it's usually that his lack of restraint and common sense make him a danger to others.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: From the moment he decides to make his FaceHeelTurn, his mental state rapidly deteriorates while his villainy rapidly escalates, going from lying and manipulating to outright attempted murder. Even he is aware of this, which he states in "Ready As I'll Ever Be".
* KnightOfCerebus: When he turns to the dark side, the series goes with him for the remainder of Season 1, especially in the finale where he is a legitimately menacing threat.
* LikesOlderWomen: Varian appears to have thing for Cassandra, who is clearly older than he. He even acknowledges this in the season finale - right before attempting to murder her.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: His father being TakenForGranite breaks Varian's already brittle sense of restraint and drives him to plot revenge against Corona's royal family.
* MadScientist: Varian is a brilliant scientist, but he's kind of a whack-job who doesn't always think through the consequences of his inventions.
* MagicVersusScience: Out to prove the superiority of alchemy over magic, to he point where he [[ArbitrarySkepticism implies that he doesn't believe magic was involved in the series' events.]]
* ManBehindTheCurtain: Non-villainous example. He's built up and said to be a wizard who is dangerous and intimidating and wore a mask to give him that appearance, but much to Rapunzel's disappointment, he's just a whiz-kid who happens to be an alchemist. However, he turns out to be a nut-job who doesn't seem to know what he's doing, so in a way, he is dangerous and only becomes moreso later on.
* ManipulativeBastard: He personally manipulates Rapunzel in "The Alchemist Returns", and then is able to manipulate her father and his guards from a distance in "Secret of the Sundrop".
* MeaningfulName:
** The name "Varian" is French for "Variable", which means not consistent and having a fixed pattern, and liable to change.
** "Varian" is also Latin for "fiddle", which reflects on his nature of ''fiddling'' with forces beyond his understanding or control.
* MissingMom: Though we are introduced to his father Quirin, his mother hasn't been shown yet, aside from a portrait.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: When he comes to Rapunzel seeking help for his father, Quirian, only to be turned away during the blizzard in "Queen For a Day", the bitterness at being snubbed motivates his FaceHeelTurn.
* MulticoloredHair: His hair is mostly brown with a [[SkunkStripe teal-grey streak]] and lighter brown highlights.
* NeverBareheaded: Not once do we see him without the antique goggles he wears.
* NeverMyFault: The reason for his FaceHeelTurn at the end of "Queen for a Day" is because he blames Rapunzel and the entire Kingdom for letting him down. But really, he brought it on himself by tampering with the spikes, especially after being repeatedly warned by his father not to, although this is more his dad's fault than his own for never explaining ''why''. This flaw of his grows worse in the season finale, where he blames the King for "villifying him" as a result of his own villainous actions, and then blames Rapunzel for his failure to use her hair to free his father.
-->'''Varian''': It's not my fault! None of this is! It's ''her'' fault!
** For the record the king did accuse Varian of attacking Rapunzel long before he did anything actually criminal forcing him to go into hiding for months.
* NotSoDifferent: In a way, he and Cassandra are similar, despite their [[BrainsAndBrawn contrasting methods]] of approach. Both of them are driven to earn the respect of others, especially their fathers. But in being so obsessed with their desire to prove themselves, they end up causing more harm than good. Things take a darker turn when they both end up [[FaceHeelTurn betraying Rapunzel]] in order to pursue their own goals.
* OlderHeroVersusYoungerVillain: Well, everyone's older than him, so this goes without saying.
* NiceGuy: Varian is well-meaning, compassionate, and helpful. [[FaceHeelTurn Until he loses his father, that is.]]
* PayEvilUntoEvil: This is what Varian ''thinks'' he is doing with Corona, its royal family in particular - he fully acknowledges that he's "sunk pretty low", but believes that the victims of his villainous actions deserve to suffer.
* RageBreakingPoint: Not being able to free his father as predicted but seeing Rapunzel reunited with both her parents is what pushes his anger to its highest point, and emerges in his giant automaton.
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: {{Justified|Trope}}. Varian has a good number of inventions that are very effective, and he tries to avert this trope. The problem is, some of his inventions destroyed his village more than once, and his latest one nearly leveled the castle, so it's no wonder no one can trust their lives with him or his inventions.
* RescueRomance: Develops a crush on Cassandra after she rescues him in his first appearance, lasting into ''Great Expotations.'' But ultimately subverted in the end: [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope after his descent into villainy, he tries to kill her the same as everybody else.]]
* {{Revenge}}: "And I swear right now, that no matter what comes of me, anybody that stands or has stood in my path, they're going to pay! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis They...will...pay."]]
* SimpleStaff: Varian is usually seen carrying a staff, but all he does is use it as a walking stick and carry a few potions, some of which act as light sources.
* SingingVoiceDissonance: Has a rather raspy teenage voice that becomes deeper and more adultlike without the rasp when singing.
* SlasherSmile: Gives Rapunzel a rather frightening one in "The Alchemist Returns" as he betrays her, fully realizing his FaceHeelTurn. Then again when he confronts Rapunzel and King Frederic in "Secret of the Sundrop."
* SmugSnake: While he's a brilliant inventor and an exceptionally clever thinker, his impetuousness and emotional instability often gets in the way of his success, driving him to start completely losing his cool when things aren't going the way he wants them to go, contrasting with the overconfidence he'd have displayed beforehand.
* StartOfDarkness: "Queen for a Day" details his. When his father is trapped in crystal after Rapunzel refused to help due to trying to stop Zhan Tiri’s blizzard, Varian blames Rapunzel and swears vengeance upon her and the Kingdom of Corona. Darkness even literally falls upon him in the moment.
* TeenGenius: At age 14, he easily stands out as being the smartest of the cast.
* TeensAreMonsters: Varian is only ''14'', making him by far the youngest villain in any Disney Princess-based franchise. But, things were messed up for him to begin with. He's feared, castigated, and doubted by society, and they don't appreciate any of his efforts even if he failed. Plus, he cares about a problem that the King refused to acknowledge, and the tragic incident that took his father pretty much did it all. Basically, all the ill that he experiences only fed his ruthlessness, and from that, neither Rapunzel nor the Queen see him as a monster, just a child who's lost.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: He didn't see himself as evil following his vengeful turn, but eventually decides that if what he's doing makes him the bad guy, then he'll accept that label.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Ends up undergoing this in the epilogue of "Queen For A Day". Later becomes fully realized in the climax of "The Alchemist Returns".
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Subverted. His only appearance in merchandise this far is in a figurine set released by Disney Store. Since villains only tend to be released by Disney Store and not Mattel, this foreshadows his StartOfDarkness.
* TragicVillain: His father was encased in amber, and he vows {{Revenge}} on Rapunzel because he blames her for his predicament.
* TraitorShot: The very last shot of "Queen For A Day" has him give a glowering KubrickStare [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou to the camera]] while [[DramaticSpotlight lit as a shadow by the ceiling light from behind]].
* WalkingSpoiler: What only one episode can end up doing for a character.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Rapunzel, Cassandra and Eugene.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Really wants his inventions and alchemy to make his dad proud.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: After his FaceHeelTurn, Varian really stands out as a disturbingly dark villain in this series, which is comparatively more lighthearted than the film. Taking into account his actions (extortion, abduction of a royal consort, attempted cold-blooded murder of a royal consort and Crown Princess), he makes even ''Mother Gothel'' (whose crimes are abduction of baby Rapunzel, DomesticAbuse, and attempted murder of a convicted thief) chump-change.
* VillainHasAPoint:
** When Varian accuses King Frederic of "vilifying him",He means when Frederic scapegoated him for "attacking the princess" in "Queen for a Day" so as to keep him quiet and send guards after him because he had the scroll. It's also hard to argue with Varian when he mentions that King Frederic failed to address the danger that threatens their kingdom and kept it all a secret, while he's the only one who cared. Sure enough, the King does take this to heart, and realizes Varian isn't 100% to blame for what is happening.
** When Rapunzel tries to change his mind about using her hair to break the crystal by saying "I promise it will be all right", he answers with reminding her "what happened the last time [Rapunzel] ''promised'' that?" (referring to when she promised the same in "Queen for a Day" but couldn't come through, resulting in his father being encased in crystal.) It's an ArmorPiercingQuestion for Rapunzel, to which she can't answer; and you can't deny that Rapunzel indeed made a promise to him she couldn't keep and now is about to make the same mistake again.
* VillainSong: He has two: the DarkReprise of "Let Me Make You Proud" and his part of [[CrowdSong "Ready As I'll Ever Be"]].
* VillainousBreakdown: When Rapunzel's hair fails to free his father and Rapunzel promptly frees both of her own parents, Varian snaps and tries to kill everyone in a vindictive rage.
* VillainousUnderdog: Varian is a low-level commoner from a backwater village and has no money or power of sorts, and not even a BadassNormal, and he knows he's at a disadvantage when he's up against the Royal Family and the Royal Guard. But, his main strengths are his intelligence and patience, allowing him to accomplish so much with so little. To this effect, he came up with an elaborate scheme to separate the King, Rapunzel, and the Royal Guard to take the weak link of the Royal Family--the Queen. In doing so, he does a ''lot'' of emotional damage to the former two.
* WouldHitAGirl: He captures Queen Arianna, and later tries to kill both her and Cassandra.
* YouKilledMyFather: Blames Rapunzel, and by extension Corona, for not coming to him in his time of need and letting his father be trapped in crystal and swears that "they...will...pay." When really, it's his dad's own fault combined with his own personal recklessness.

Varian's father and the leader of the village of Old Corona. [[spoiler: In the past, he was a member of the Brotherhood of the Dark Kingdom, and a close consort of King Edmund.]]
----
* FantasyForbiddingFather: He does not approve of Varian's inventions or alchemical pursuits, knowing full well how often they backfire.
* TheGoodChancellor: In the prologue of "Beyond the Corona Walls", [[spoiler:he once served as King Edmund's advisor, convincing him that the mysterious black rocks cannot be destroyed, which prompts Edmund to hide them at any cost, lest its power fall into the wrong hands.]]
* GoodParents: To Varian, despite his disapproval of Varian's inventions.
* MeaningfulName: His name means "magic spell", fitting in with the show's story being about the magic in play.
* OldFriend: Is referred to as this by King Frederic in "Queen for a Day".
* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:He is implied to know more about the black rocks than he lets on, but he doesn't share this knowledge with his son, only telling him that the rocks are dangerous, and that he should keep away from them. This causes Varian to continue researching the rocks in order to prove himself... with [[TakenForGranite unfortunate consequences]].]]
* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:He becomes encased in a form of crystal after one of Varian's experiments with the rocks goes awry]].
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His decision to withhold information about the rocks from his son Varian causes Varian to disregard his warning not to tamper with the rocks, and to attempt to find a solution to deal with the rock crisis. When Quirin finds out and confronts his son about it, he [[spoiler:becomes encased in crystal as a result of Varian's experiments, resulting in Varian's StartOfDarkness]].

A shopkeeper that's friendly to everyone in the Kingdom of Corona... except to Rapunzel.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Being the NiceGuy, practically everybody in Corona's capital have nothing but good things to say about him. This only makes his [[DislikesTheNewGuy contempt for Rapunzel]] sting even more for her. Eventually he and Rapunzel come to a compromise as she becomes [[SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond the only one]] that doesn't like him (albiet with a light-hearted undertone to it).
* GoodOldWays: Monty is a traditionalist, Rapunzel's tendency to come at the status quo with a crowbar being the reason why [[SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond he does not like her]].
* NiceGuy: Aside from Rapunzel, he is an absolute sweetheart to everyone on Corona and is well loved as a result.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His physical appearance is apparently based on a composite of Creator/EricGoldberg and Bob Keeshan from Series/CaptainKangaroo.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He gives a mood potion to Rapunzel, Eugene and Cassandra with the best intentions, but this turns out disastrously, when Varian later gets his hands on what's left of the potion and modifies it into an ominous truth serum to find out the location of the sun drop flower.

Other people who live in the Kingdom of Corona.
----
* DanceLine: Rapunzel initiates one while touring the kingdom.
* FryingPanOfDoom: At the end, the Royal Guard seem to have adopted this as their primary weapon.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: With the exception of Maximus the horse, Corona's guards are incredibly incompetent. First they couldn't catch an old lady running and carrying a baby or find the nearby tower where she hid. Then they couldn't catch Flynn until he was literally tied up and handed to them, despite the fact that he was dancing around town in plain sight and they knew he was accompanied by a girl who really stands out in a crowd. They leave their wimpiest guy alone with two humongous brutes, and he turns out about as effective as you would expect. Finally, it was laughably easy for Flynn to swipe the tiara in the first place.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The voice of Feldspar the Cobbler (Creator/ZacharyLevi) is patterned after Ed Wynn, a comedian who worked in vaudeville, radio, and film.
* PoliceAreUseless: It says a lot that the most competent, efficient and devoted member of the guards is the guard leader's horse. Who ends up getting the guard leader's job. For his part, the Captain of the Guard has shown an incredible amount of devotion (how many guys can immediately resume chasing a thief after getting knocked unconscious?) and his heart's certainly in the right place. Unfortunately, he's let down by his poor decision making, his men, his lack of intelligence and his tendency to get knocked out at the worst possible time. However, the series reveals a more realistic explanation to this--they utilize predictable tactics.

->'''Voiced by''': Britt Robertson\\
'''Appearances''': ''[[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries The Series]]''
A whip-smart no-nonsense teenager who sells weapons on the streets of Vardaros, and is well connected with the local criminals. She acts as Rapunzel and company's "guide" in Vardaros, but only if she's well paid.
----
* BecomingTheMask: She only goes along with Rapunzel's scheme to reinspire Captain Quaid because she's being paid to act the part. It's a great surprise to her when ''she'' ends up being inspired even before Quaid is.
* TheDragAlong: She has no desire whatsoever to get involved in Rapunzel's crusades, and only does so because she's being paid. Even so, she spends most of her presence complaining and mocking Rapunzel's idealism.
* {{Foil}}: To Varian - Both are dark-haired teens who live in run-down areas and both undergo a change in morality not long after meeting Rapunzel. Varian started out as an {{Adorkable}}, optimistic alchemist, willing to help anyone for no charge at all, who eventually became a delluded, vengeful pyschopath. Vex was a no-nonsense, pessimistic weapons seller who only did errands, even for the likes of The Baron, for money, before seeing how noble it is to stand up and fight for her city's freedom.
* HatesBeingTouched: Refuses to be hugged by Rapunzel.
* HeelFaceTurn: She starts out remorselessly selling Eugene out to the Baron for a sack of cash. She ends up genuinely rallying the people as Vardaros' deputy sheriff.
* KnightInSourArmor: After the above, Vex takes up the sword to protect Vardaros even when nobody else cares. Given that she herself is TheCynic who only started caring that day, she's not at all happy about own her decisions.
-->'''Vex''': I can't believe I'm doing this. I feel like an idiot!\\
'''Eugene (fondly)''': Yeah, kid. Becoming one of the good guys will do that.
* MeaningfulName: To vex is to bring trouble to others, and she has a tendency to do that.
* PunchClockVillain: Tricks Eugene, Lance, and co. into going into a dark alley to be cornered by the Baron's men because the latter group gave her a pouch of money.

The old retired sheriff in Vardaros.
----
* BeeBeeGun: He uses his bees when he confronts Anthony and the Collector.
* CynicismCatalyst: Everyone thinks Quaid gave up when he was finally defeated by an unstoppable mercenary called "the Collector." As it turns out, while he did lose he didn't really care. What actually made him lose heart was the way the townspeople gave up after seeing him lose, to the point where they didn't join him to fight against the Baron and let criminals take over the town, leaving him believing inspiring people was impossible. In the present, he sees the fact that Vex (who was born after Quaid's heyday) has grown to be an unabashed cynic as a sign that he was right all along, which is why Rapunzel uses her to try and change his mind.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He makes good use of a jar of honey and his bees to defeat the Collector during his rematch with him.
* RetiredBadass: He was a great sheriff, but lost heart when the townspeople gave up after seeing him lose against a mercenary called the Collector. The whole plot of his debut episode is to make him drop the "Retired" part.

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/BruceCampbell\\
'''Appearances''': ''[[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries The Series]]''
A bizarrely charming king, having ruled over the Dark Kingdom twenty-five years ago when it was troubled by the mysterious black rocks caused by the Moon Opal.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: Appears to have lost his right arm in an attempt to destroy the Moon Stone.
* AntiVillain: He opposes Rapunzel and her friends, but [[WellIntentionedExtremist out of noble intentions]].
* ArcVillain: While more of a HeroAntagonist, he's essentially the de-facto arc villain for Season 2, as his goal is to keep people, including Rapunzel and her friends, out of the Dark Kingdom, with Adira (when she initially appears) and Hector following his will, and only appearing in the season's double-length special episodes.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's part of a long line of badass kings and queens, and it shows.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Probably even more so than Adira. He is an indomitable badass in combat, curb-stomping all enemies with ease, but outside his combat is fairly goofy and charming.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He's not evil himself; his kingdom is named the Dark Kingdom ''because'' they are victim to the stone that birthed the black spiked rocks.
* DeathGlare: He attempts to give Eugene the "glower", with the same [[EpicFail effect]] Eugene's "smoulder" had on Rapunzel.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: Lampshaded in "Destinies Collide" when Eugene discovers Edmund is his father and Edmund thinks he's making an aside comment:
-->'''Edmund''': I think this reunion is off to a great start! We're finding common ground, exchanging stories; I just might win him over yet.\\
'''Eugene''': You know, I can hear what you're saying.\\
'''Edmund''' [''apologizes'']: [[LampshadeHanging Oh... I'm sorry, I must be speaking my thoughts out loud.]] I have been alone a long time. [''clears throat''] How's this: You are unaware of what I'm thinking now, yes?\\
'''Eugene''': Yeah, no; you're saying everything that you're thinking out loud, and I can still hear all of it.\\
'''Edmund''': Drat! I will work on this skill.
* FamilyEyeResemblance: [[spoiler:He and Eugene have the same eyes.]]
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: PlayedForLaughs. In "Destinies Collide", he talks to himself about his schemes to gain Eugene's trust [[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud out loud, with Eugene standing right next to him]].
* HandicappedBadass: Lost his arm trying to destroy the Moon Stone, but can still hold his own against Eugene, Rapunzel and Adira at the same time and win.
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: He ultimately realizes that keeping Rapunzel away from the Moonstone is wrong thanks to the conviction of his son, Eugene, and he allows her to fulfill her destiny.]]
* HeroAntagonist: King Edmund is only an antagonist because he refuses to let ''anyone'' touch the Moonstone and get killed, or make things worse.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: [[spoiler:He has a pathetic attempt at a DeathGlare reminiscent to that of Eugene's "smoulder".]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:It is revealed in the Season 2 finale that he is Eugene's father.]]
* MeaningfulName: Ed'''mund''', "mund" sounding similar to "moon".
* MyGreatestFailure: He is ashamed at his previous attempt to destroy the Moonstone, which nearly cost him his life [[spoiler: and ''did'' cost his wife hers.]]
* NoIndoorVoice: His skills at making inaudible aside comments aren't exactly up to snuff when Eugene mentions that he can hear his dad's thoughts, which are quite audible.
* PosthumousCharacter: Subverted. Hector indicated he was long dead since he last touched the Moonstone, and was only trying to honor his "dying wish". It turns out Edmund ''did'' recover. The last time Hector saw him, he was on his deathbed, and thought he died afterwards.

A mysterious figure who seems to be associated with the black rocks. An old friend of Quirin from their time as members of the Brotherhood in the Dark Kingdom, she joins Rapunzel and her friends in their efforts to restore Corona after black rocks begin to appear in the kingdom.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Her name, appearance, and voice actress point to her being of an Asian ethnicity. She's voiced by Creator/KellyHu, which may serve as a hint to possible Asian heritage.
* AmbiguousGender: When she appeared in TheStinger for Season 1, her gender wasn't revealed. She's revealed in the Season 2 premiere to be a woman.
* ArcHero: For Season 2. She's the main hero responsible for helping Rapunzel reach her destiny to end the threat of the Moonstone.
* BlackSwordsAreBetter: She has a sword made of the same material that the black rocks are made of, which makes it indestructible and the only thing seen able to cut through them with it.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Let's just say her personality is not at all what her tall, intimidating appearance would suggest. Cassandra sums her up pretty well as a "weirdo".
* TheFaceless: In the Season 1 finale, the viewer can't see her face because the camera only shows her from the back. She also wears a "hoodie" over her head to hide her face from the side.
* HatesBeingTouched: One of the first things we find out about her is that she hates being touched. Hair counts, too.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: She embraces that people find her "eccentric" and "unconventional", but finds it strange when Cassandra calls her a "weirdo".
* MeaningfulName: "Adira" means "a great female" in Hebrew.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks the same in the present as she does in a flashback showing her 25 years previous.
* RedHerring: There were several vague hints that made us think she would turn on Rapunzel once all was said and done. [[spoiler:Nope. That honor goes to Cassandra]].
* TheStinger: Appears at the end of "Secret of the Sundrop" wielding a sword similar to the black rocks that can cut said rocks.
* UnknownCharacter: Between her first appearance at the cliffhanger of Season 1 and the Season 2 premiere, nothing was known of her other than that she has the exact same marking on her right hand as on Quirin's left hand, so all we knew was that there was a connection between them.

Rapunzel's biological father and the King of Corona.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: He and his wife are implied to have this, or something very close to it.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the original tale, the parents didn't bother looking for their daughter after giving her up. In the film, both are obviously distraught over their daughter's kidnapping, but they almost lost hope.
* AdaptationalBadass: Not in the fighting sense, but he and his wife go from hungry peasants to rulers of their home. He also states he received the best military training, but that's kind of an InformedAttribute, DependingOnTheWriter.
* AdaptationalHeroism: The father steals lettuce from a witch's garden in the original tale, simply because his pregnant wife had a craving for them. They also disappear from the story and never seem to bother about the whereabouts of the daughter they gave up. In the film, the mother is dying. And rather than knowingly stealing from the witch, they find a golden flower that the witch had been using to make herself young. And the witch kidnaps the baby. Rapunzel is also reunited with her parents at the end -- and they're implied to have been searching for her all her life.
** Counts as ValuesDissonance because, before the Grimms wrote down the story, ignoring a pregnant woman when she was craving food was thought to make her ill, or affect her baby. It would've been perfectly reasonable for Rapunzel's father to do whatever it took to get her mother the lettuce.
* AscendedExtra: The King and Queen have more prominently significant roles in ''Tangled: Before Ever After'', the series and the tie-in novels.
* BigOlEyebrows: The King has thick, bushy, brown eyebrows.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: His only child was kidnapped and missing for eighteen years.
* DisproportionateRetribution: After Rapunzel was abducted, the King laid down the hammer ''hard'' on all crimes, including petty thieves. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Naturally]], this leads to at least one villain being created out of this mess.
* TheGoodKing: KnightTemplarParent issues aside, Frederic has shown himself to be a benevolent king who cares for the well-being of his family and his people. This is highlighted in the episode ''Not in the Mood'', where the mood-inversion potion turns him into his opposite; a violent war-mongering dictator.
* GoodParents: While he and his wife don't get much screen time, they clearly loved their daughter and, after she was kidnapped, spent the next eighteen years trying to find her, then waiting for her. As shown in the series, Rapunzel's mother is more supportive of her, and wants to make sure she's happy in her new life.
* KnightTemplarParent: After Rapunzel was kidnapped, the King went ''hard'' on all crime, [[DisproportionateRetribution including petty crimes]]. It sounded like a good idea to him at the time, but he underestimated them.
* HeyYou: As shown in the pilot movie of the series, he would offhandedly refer to Eugene as "son" because he had more important things to do than listen to him, but later on in the season, he begins mean it more affectionately.
* TheLoad: Despite being the brainchild of his prank on King Trevor, he ends up being this to Eugene in ''In Like Flynn''. He frequently ignores Eugene's advice despite the latter's experience as a thief, and nearly gives himself away various times, forcing Eugene to cover up for him.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: Love for his family brings out the best and the worst in Frederic, the worst being recklessness and forsaking reason and other people for their safety. He imprisons Rapunzel, lies to her about the gravity of the black spikes, and [[spoiler:invades her privacy by reading her journal]] in the name of keeping her nearby and safe. The season 1 finale reveals that this was his weakness even before Rapunzel was kidnapped by Gothel, as he uprooted the sun drop flower to save Arianna despite [[spoiler:Quirin's warning that doing so would unleash a curse on Corona]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The King's DisproportionateRetribution on criminals led to at least one criminal being created to avenge her father, who was a mere petty crook. While Caine has been in prison for the remainder of the first season, she may return to cause more trouble than just screwing up Rapunzel's coronation and there's probably more people out for revenge on the Royal Family, and one of them happens to be one of the most evil masterminds in the entire Kingdom.
* NiceGuy: King Frederic is loving and joyous.
* NotSoAboveItAll: While usually presented as rather stoic, he's shown to have a rather immature and petty side, particularly ''In Like Flynn'' given his childish rivalry with King Trevor.
* PapaWolf: Frederic and his [[MamaBear wife]] spent the last eighteen years searching for their daughter. And while the Queen is more laidback when Rapunzel returns to the castle, the King wants Rapunzel to be safe at all times--including putting half the royal guard around her whenever she goes out and refusing to let her go outside the walls without permission.
* ParentsAsPeople: Although Frederic is a kind and loving person, years of fear and inexperience with actually being a parent means that he's a lot more over-protective of Rapunzel than he needs to be and he ends up stifling the freedom she's wanted for so long in an effort to keep her safe.
* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: {{Implied|Trope}} to be the reason he and Arianna recognize her in the end, despite her long blonde hair having been cut and turned brown.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As stated below, Frederic is unwilling to apply the full extent of the law on children who commit crimes, and it's implied that citizens do have freedom of speech, as Monty did not suffer any consequences for booing Rapunzel.
* TheSouthpaw: When he paints on the portrait of the King of Equis in "In Like Flynn", he holds the brush with his left hand to do so.
* UnnamedParent: The King's name wasn't revealed in the movie. Their names were finally given [[https://ohmy.disney.com/news/2016/03/08/tangled-before-ever-after/ here.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His decision to remove the Sundrop Flower from its spot was what caused the events to unfurl in the series, [[spoiler:from the emergence of the black rocks and Varian's StartOfDarkness]].
* TheVoiceless: He and his wife never speak on-screen in the movie. The fact that these two characters have three of the most emotionally charged scenes in the entire movie is a testament to the animation quality of the movie.
* WouldntHurtAChild: Frederic is unwilling to apply the full force of law on children who commit crimes, especially those who are just trying to survive, and it doesn't help that there is no system for dealing with juvenile delinquents in the setting. In "Big Brothers of Corona", once he finds out that the thief happens to be two young girls, he's at a loss because he can't send them to jail (which is likely a harsh punishment in this era), but he can't let them off the hook either.

Rapunzel's biological mother and the Queen Consort of Corona.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: She and her husband are implied to have this, or something very close to it.
* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Hasn't aged at all for the last eighteen years. You'd probably mistake her for Rapunzel's older sister at first glance.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the original tale, she and her husband didn't bother looking for their daughter after giving her up. In the film, both are obviously distraught over their daughter's kidnapping, but they almost lose hope.
* AdaptationalBadass: Not in the fighting sense, but she and her husband go from hungry peasants to rulers of their home. The series takes this further--the Queen defended herself by punching out Flynn Rider after he stole her ring.
* AdaptationalHeroism: The father steals lettuce from a witch's garden in the original tale, simply because his pregnant wife had a craving for them. They also disappear from the story and never seem to bother about the whereabouts of the daughter they gave up. In the film, the mother is dying. And rather than knowingly stealing from the witch, they find a golden flower that the witch had been using to make herself young. And the witch kidnaps the baby. Rapunzel is also reunited with her parents at the end -- and they're implied to have been searching for her all her life.
** Counts as ValuesDissonance because, before the Grimms wrote down the story, ignoring a pregnant woman when she was craving food was thought to make her ill, or affect her baby. It would've been perfectly reasonable for Rapunzel's father to do whatever it took to get her mother the lettuce.
* AppropriatedAppellation: As a child, her sister Willow [[TheNicknamer nicknamed her]] "Dare-ianna" because Ari, anxious about being shown up, would do whatever Willow dared her to do. After they go on an adventure together as adults, Willow starts using the term with respect and admiration.
* AscendedExtra: She barely has any spoken lines in the movie, but has a more prominent and significant role in ''Tangled: Before Ever After'', the series and the tie-in novels.
* ControlFreak: It's shown in "Way of the Willow" that Arianna does have control issues, feeling things have to be done a certain way. She even mentions that her sister never listens to anything she tells her to.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her only child was kidnapped and missing for eighteen years, and got robbed by Flynn Rider, so that's a double whammy of trauma.
* DeathByChildbirth: ''Almost''. Arianna fell ill in the last part of her pregnancy with Rapunzel, and both she and Rapunzel would've perished if not for the magic flower.
* FamilyEyeResemblance: She and Rapunzel have the exact, same eyes.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible to Willow's foolish. Arianna is TheHighQueen, while Willow is pretty much a hippie.
* GoodParents: While she and her husband don't get much screen time, Rapunzel's parents clearly loved their daughter and, after she was kidnapped, spent the next eighteen years trying to find her, then waiting for her. As shown in the series, Rapunzel's mother is more supportive of her, and wants to make sure she's happy in her new life.
* HappilyMarried: Even though their daughter's disappearance left them heartbroken, she and her husband still provided each other comfort and support through their marriage. As the series shows, she isn't quite shy about expressing it.
* HiddenDepths: While "The Way of the Willow" presents her as TheHighQueen, other episodes shows that Rapunzel's tomboyish tendencies are not entirely inherited from her aunt.
* TheHighQueen: The beautiful, wise and kind queen of Corona, even though she's technically Queen Consort.
* IllGirl: The Queen in the opening narration, which prompted the soldiers to search out the flower.
* KingOnHisDeathbed: The Queen in the opening narration, as stated above. She got better.
* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: The series reveals that Rapunzel inherited more from her real mother than her looks; Rapunzel's wanderlust and sense of adventure also comes from the Queen, who traveled the world in her younger days. They both also had an amazing variety of hobbies, as shown in her royal portrait. And furthermore, their reaction to being unexpectedly confronted by a thief (the same thief, no less!) is to whack them on the head with a blunt object.
* MadeOfIron: You'd be surprised at what she can live through; Arianna survived a carriage ''plummeting a hundred feet in snowy weather'' and comes out ''with no injuries'', so that's high praise indeed.
* MamaBear: She and her [[PapaWolf husband]] spent the last eighteen years searching for their daughter.
* MysticalPregnancy: Her pregnancy is of the "normal, supernaturally complicated" variety; she fell ill while carrying Rapunzel. The magic flower that she ingested as a cure gave Rapunzel's hair its magic powers.
* NiceGirl: Queen Arianna is motherly, forgiving, and humble, and very fond of and supportive of her daughter.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Note how much her husband King Frederic's appearance ages between the beginning and the 18-years-later end of the movie [[note]]In fact, in he seems to have ''overly'' aged, probably to show the sorrow he endured the last 18 years over losing his daughter.[[/note]] but ''she'' barely looks to have aged in between those years. As shown in the series in a flashback, the fact that Eugene attempted to charm her during a theft certainly lends more credence to the fact that she really does look that young, and could easily be taken for someone his age.
* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: {{Implied|Trope}} to be the reason she and Frederic recognize her in the end, despite her long blonde hair having been cut and turned brown.
* ProperLady: She is more emotionally resilient, or at least better at looking the part. She's also the one who literally pulls Eugene into the group hug at the end, when he hesitates.
* TheQuietOne: In the series, Queen Arianna is the least talkative, highlighting how tranquil she is compared to other characters.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Willow's Red. She's quieter and more composed, while Willow is impulsive and remarkably energetic.
* SiblingYinYang: With Willow. Arianna is composed, refined and reliable, while Willow is easy-going, irresponsible and flamboyant.
* StrongFamilyResemblance:
** The Queen pretty much has Rapunzel's face. That might explain why she was able to recognize her.
** She also looks very similar to her sister Willow.
* SuddenlyVoiced: The Queen says one line in ''Tangled Ever After''. Then again, it was in an ImagineSpot.
-->Those were my grandmother's wedding rings!
** And they're both properly voiced in the series.
* UnnamedParent: The Queen's name wasn't revealed in the movie. Their names were finally given [[https://ohmy.disney.com/news/2016/03/08/tangled-before-ever-after/ here.]]
* TheVoiceless: She and her husband never speak on-screen in the movie. The fact that these two characters have three of the most emotionally charged scenes in the entire movie is a testament to the animation quality of the movie.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: She says this to Rapunzel in "Before Ever After" upon giving her her journal.

[[folder:Wilhelmina, aka "Willow"]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tangled_willow.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Jane Krakowski\\
'''Appearances''': ''[[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries The Series]]''
Willow is Queen Arianna's outgoing, fun-loving sister, who spends most of her time exploring and adventuring. When she visits her family after a long absence, she instantly connects with her niece Rapunzel, who's dismayed to learn that her aunt and her mother are at odds due to their very different personalities and lifestyles.
----
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Arianna loves her sister, but she's extremely irritated by Willow's carefree and irresponsible personality. Not helped by how Willow likes to tell Arianna's subjects about embarrassing stories of their youth.
* CommonalityConnection: With Rapunzel over their mutual disdain for footwear.
* CoolAunt: To Rapunzel.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Just like Rapunzel, and the two of them bond over this [[SharedFamilyQuirks shared family quirk]] to the point that [[HandyFeet they briefly "converse" by gesturing with their toes]].
* EarthyBarefootCharacter: As she puts it, "How can you know where you stand in the world if you can't feel the ground beneath your feet?"
* FeetFirstIntroduction: The first thing we see of her is her bare feet.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Arianna, with Willow being the Foolish Sibling in the FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling trope. While Arianna is willing to forsake her own needs for the good of others, Willow is one who avoids planting roots in any place and with anyone.
** She is essentially Rapunzel without her redeeming qualities (at least at first). While each of them loves painting and adventure, blends in perfectly among the pub thugs, and prefers going barefoot, Rapunzel is attentive to other people's problems and is willing to commit to responsibilities while Willow is InnocentlyInsensitive with a bad case of AttentionDeficitOohShiny.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to Arianna's responsible. Willow is pretty much a hippie while Arianna is TheHighQueen.
* FunPersonified: {{Deconstructed}}. She's a friendly, flamboyant, fast-talking extrovert, but she doesn't know how or when to restrain herself, much to Arianna's consternation.
* GenerationXerox: She proves that Rapunzel isn't the first person in her family to enjoy painting, going on adventures, or running around barefoot.
* GenkiGirl: An upbeat, hyperactive PerpetualSmiler.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: After years of absence, she reappears at Arianna's birthday party. She instantly draws attention away from her sister (which she's been doing since childhood), gives Ari a dangerous pet as a gift, and accidentally disrupts Arianna's plans to watch a meteor shower with Rapunzel. She doesn't realize how much Ari resents her for all this until receiving a ReasonYouSuckSpeech. However, she means well and never hurts her sister intentionally, and the episode ends with the two women starting to repair their relationship.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Just as her sister does, she too looks surprisingly young for her age. It probably runs in the family.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Arianna's Blue. She's impulsive and remarkably energetic, while Arianna is quieter and more composed.
* SiblingYinYang: With Arianna. Willow is easy-going, irresponsible and flamboyant, while Arianna is composed, refined and reliable.
* WalkingTheEarth: She prefers exploring and adventuring throughout the world to settling down in Corona--or anywhere else.

!!The Captain of the Guard
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tangled_captain.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': M. C. Gainey (English); Mario Díaz Mercado (film), Beto Castillo (''[[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries The Series]]'') (Latin American Spanish)\\
'''Appearances''': ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' | ''[[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries The Series]]''
The Captain of the Corona Royal Guard, and the adoptive father of Cassandra.
----
* AngerBornOfWorry: Deconstructed. When Cassandra was six, he took her out to the sea and she nearly drowned after ignoring his orders to stay close. He was furious at her, but Cassandra was too young to understand why and only understood that the person she needed reassurance from, after she was already scared from nearly dying, had now turned on her and was scaring her even worse. As a result, she never learned to swim and still fears the water as an adult, because the Captain's reaction turned a frightening experience into a traumatic one.
* AmoralAttorney: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. The Captain acted as the Prosecutor for Atilla's trial and is quite biased against the defense because of his criminal history, even taking evidence at face value, especially when Rapunzel noticed other important details later on. To add insult to the injury, he wouldn't be qualified to be prosecutor, because he doesn't even know enough of his kingdom's laws, which Rapunzel even cared to read up on. However, he at least has the integrity to not allow miscarriage of justice.
* AscendedExtra: Gets more relative screen time and character development in the series than in the movie. This partly is because he is the father of one of the major characters of the series.
* TheCaptain: Well duh, it is his rank and he's the head of Corona's elite.
* DrillSergeantNasty: The captain also personally handles the new recruits, and he's definitely an unpleasant person.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: To date, no name has been given. He's only referred to as the Captain of the Guard, or just Captain even by Cassandra at times, though she does also refer to him as her father. WordOfGod [[ShrugOfGod isn't sure if they'll ever reveal his name in the future]].
* FatalFlaw: Pride. The Captain is fixed in believing that his way is always the right way and looks down on people who don't share his view.
* {{Flanderization}}: In the series he acts more like a stereotypical army officer who uses military jargon quite a bit.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Despite the fact that magic is real in this world, and that one of his men brought home a magic flower, he thinks ghosts are nonsense. Afterwards, he doesn't give a hoot that they are real.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He has a spiteful and bitter side to him (just ask Eugene), but does have the humility to admit when he's wrong and was/is a good father to Cassandra.
* KickTheDog: He has a particular grudge against Eugene, because of the latter's past as a thief (of the princess' crown, in particular). When Eugene applies to join the Royal Guards, the captain makes training even ''more'' difficult for Eugene; he pulls tricks on Eugene that would be considered breaking the rules, all to make sure Eugene doesn't make the cut. When Eugene passes, the captain decides to give him the job nobody wants.
* LockedOutOfTheFight: He is unable to join the FinalBattle in Season 1 due to sustaining severe injuries, but has Cassandra lead the assault in his stead.
* ParentsAsPeople: The Captain is a good man who raised Cassandra to be strong, independent, and thaught her the importance of earning your goals through hard work. However, his personal policy on keeping his emotions below the surface stopped him from giving her the emotional support she needed as a girl and needs now. This is why Cass turned out a WellDoneDaughterGirl who thinks the only way to please her father is to become a Royal Guard.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When Eugene isn't egging him on, he shows a much more reasonable side. When Eugene was captured in the movie, he took no joy in the pending execution, treating it as an unfortunate bit of business, rather than gloating. And after Eugene caught the art thief, he noted that while Eugene was a terrible guard, he was adept at thinking like a thief, and had Eugene school the rest of the castle guards on thinking like a thief. And when the Stabbington Brothers take Cassandra hostage, he has his men back off to keep her from getting hurt.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: In "Fitzherbert P.I.", the captain can make or break the rules simply because he can, and will certainly do so to make Eugene washes out at basic training and doesn't earn his chevrons.
* SkilledButNaive: ''The Series'' shows that the Captain is an extremely capable fighter, [[spoiler:best displayed when he's disguised as a mercenary, where he easily overpowers Rapunzel's gang, including Cassandra.]] Unfortunately, he's often prone to being outsmarted by cunning fighters like Eugene.
* SoProudOfYou: His smile when Cassandra takes the command of the guards during the "Ready As I'll Ever Be" song, as they prepare to fight [[spoiler:Varian]] to rescue [[spoiler:the Queen]] in ''Secret of the Sun Drop'', screams this trope.

->'''Voiced by''': Jeremy Jordan, Yasuaki Takumi (Japanese), Jeong Jae-heon (Korean)//
'''Appearances''': ''[[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries The Series]]''
A young alchemist and inventor who tries to study Rapunzel's hair in the season one premiere. Though initially a recurring ally, he becomes the ArcVillain of Season 1 after his father is frozen in crystal.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Attempts a dramatic entrance when Rapunzel and Cassandra come to see him and he's also a fan of the books that inspired Flynn's name.
* AlchemyIsMagic: He insists it's not, but people assume he's a wizard anyways.
* AntiVillain: He's a {{Woobie|DestroyerOfWorlds}} and WellIntentionedExtremist Type. As of the ending of "Queen for a Day", his goal is now to find the secret behind the mysterious rocks and reverse the condition inflicted upon his father... as well as take {{Revenge}} upon Rapunzel. He blames her, and by extension the Kingdom of Corona, for turning their backs on him when he needed help freeing his father, Quirin.
* ArcHero: Most of his appearances are relegated to the arc-related episodes, because he's ''essential'' to helping Rapunzel solve the mystery of the indestructible spikes that make up a big part of the season. However, as of the end of "Queen for a Day", he makes his transition into the ArcVillain.
* ArcVillain: The magical rocks turn out to not be evil after all, leaving Varian himself as the big threat to be dealt with in the first season finale.
* AxCrazy: When he fails to free his father with Rapunzel's hair, then sees Rapunzel in an embrace with ''both'' of her parents, Varian flips his lid and tries to kill everyone with a giant mech suit.
* BaitTheDog: Inverted; he's introduced wearing a bulky welding suit with his voice deepened by the metal helmet in a dark room, making him seem like a very intimidating presence. Then he lifts up his helmet and reveals he's very boyish and has a gentle voice. Played straight after the events of "Queen for a Day", which sees him actually [[FaceHeelTurn shift from good to villainous]].
* BlueIsHeroic: Generally wears faded blue. This is {{subverted|Trope}} when he becomes a villain.
* BrainyBrunette: Has brown hair and is a budding inventor.
* BreakTheCutie: Pretty much his ''entire subplot'' in "Queen for a Day". He loses his father to the mysterious rocks plaguing the kingdom, and Rapunzel ends up breaking her promise to help him while she's busy with her own problems.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Mother Gothel after his FaceHeelTurn. Both are willing to go to extreme lengths to use Rapunzel and her magic hair to achieve their goals. But Gothel was a VainSorceress who was willing to ally herself with the Stabbington Brothers to recapture Rapunzel, whereas Varian [[IWorkAlone relies on no one but himself and his raccoon]]. Additionally, their goals differ: Whereas Gothel was selfish and wanted Rapunzel to keep herself looking and feeling young forever, Varian has the much more nobler aspirations of trying to free his father from his crystal prison; [[WellIntentionedExtremist he just went too far trying to achieve them]]. Finally, Gothel was a BitchInSheepsClothing to Rapunzel, while Varian legitimately ''[[WeUsedToBeFriends was]]'' [[WeUsedToBeFriends Rapunzel's friend]] [[EtTuBrute until she refused to help him free his father]].
* CheatedAngle: Whenever Varian turns his head, his side-swept bangs never turn with his head, instead they flip to the other side.
* ChildishToothGap: Varian has buck teeth and while not childish, he is quite nerdy.
* ClothingReflectsPersonality: Varian’s choice of wardrobe is noticeably darker and duller than the rest of the cast, considering he’s always messing things up and wants to impress his father, but also reflects his eventual FaceHeelTurn when he vows revenge on Corona after being turned away during the blizzard.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: He could've made a lot of money with all his inventions and chemicals, but gold means nothing to him when he wants justice.
* DarthVaderClone: For starters, he tends to wear a mask that makes him look and sound intimidating. In terms of his character, he is a gifted, aspiring individual, but not without faults, some of which causes others to lack faith in him. Said lack of faith causes him to take determined, yet questionable acts that only build up to his fall. His fall is sealed when he loses a loved one, with said loss contributed to by his own actions. And for added flavor, the weapon he fights with is red.
* DaydreamBeliever: Thanks to Eugene using "Flynn Rider" as an alias for years, Varian seems to believe Eugene is the real-life version of the character from the Flynn Rider books.
* DeadpanSnarker: Following his FaceHeelTurn, he can occasionally be a lot more sardonic than before.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: of the TeenGenius. Varian is very, very intelligent and knows how to make inventions that would be huge technological advances for Corona...but he's also an impulsive 14 year old kid who doesn't always plan things out, often making his inventions and plans have dangerous flaws he's overlooked, ruining his reputation. His young age also gives him a pretty serious case of MoralMyopia, making him think he's just paying unto evil when really it's RevengeBeforeReason and his own inability to admit his fault in the tragedy of his father's encasement. It also means his ultimate goal, to use Rapunzel's unbreakable hair to free his father, doesn't work and he suffers a full on breakdown because he doesn't understand how his plan could have been based on an incorrect assumption (that Rapunzel's hair, being unbreakable, should be able to break the equally unbreakable amber). In the end, Varian's brains don't override the fact that he's a very young, emotional teenager who's not as logical as he thinks he is.
* DitzyGenius: Many of his inventions and plans have been known to be questionable, and have a chance of causing trouble.
* DoingInTheWizard: Played with. For all his strange reputation, Varian's "alchemy" is clearly regular chemistry and engineering, albeit with some [[MadScientist mad science]] thrown in, and he doesn't believe in magic [[FlatEarthAtheist despite being friends with a princess with magic hair.]] However, when he attempts to apply it to something that is explicitly magical in origin, he fails miserably at every turn: when he doesn't get no reaction at all, he at best gets undesired reactions for reasons repeatedly fails to understand.
* TheDreaded: In "Happiness Is...", Rapunzel hallucinates him [[FauxAffablyEvil greeting her evilly]] and [[RevengeByProxy trying to harm her father]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He contines to love his father after his FaceHeelTurn, and is obsessed with freeing him.
* EvilCounterpart: A younger one to King Frederic. Like him, he has undergone the loss of a loved one, which ended up impacted him mentally and emotionally. Said loss caused him to make desperate, yet questionable decisions along the way, and hoped against all odds that the things he would do would bring his family member back. Unlike Frederic, who kept himself at bay before he crossed the line, Varian only ended up becoming more and more emotionally unstable. It's no wonder Queen Arianna felt sorry for Varian, knowing well the pain he is going through.
* EvilFormerFriend: He legitimately was Rapunzel's friend until she refuses to help him free his father and he vows revenge against Rapunzel and Queen Arianna.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: He used to have a crush on Cassandra. So in the season 1 finale, he, in a giant mech suit, grabs her and says, "I always knew I could sweep you off your feet!"
* FaceHeelTurn: Pulls one at the end of "Queen for a Day" by swearing revenge on the kingdom and more specifically the royal family for not helping him after his father Quirin is encased in crystal. Later becomes fully realized by the climax of "The Alchemist Returns" as he betrays Rapunzel, and pushed to a new extreme in the season finale.
* FatalFlaw: Varian has been so obsessed with proving himself, but it's caused him to be very stubborn and he ends up disregarding others' advice, not even [[KnowWhenToFoldEm knowing when to fold 'em]].
** Even worse, when the inevitable backlash happens, he [[NeverMyFault refuses to accept responsibility for what went wrong]], and even shifting blame onto others whom he takes his anguish out on.
* ForScience: He tends to make inventions and do experiments that have a chance of putting everyone in danger out of scientific curiosity. Case in point, one invention destroyed his village, and another almost leveled the entire kingdom.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: After returning home to find Quirin frozen in the amber and vows revenge on those who ignored him, he proclaims, "They...will...pay." while clenching a fist and glaring angrily at the camera, almost as if he’s staring ''at the audience.''
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Might count as this, as he's invented a chemical compound to keep out vermin humanely. Subverted as of the ending of "Queen for a Day", in which even a raccoon friend of his [[ThisIsGonnaSuck is now afraid of him]].
* FromNobodyToNightmare: After his father is encased in crystal, he completely snaps, going from a geeky stranger to completely furious and hard-hearted, setting him as the ArcVillain for the remainder of the season. When Cassandra gave Rapunzel warnings that he's "dangerous" and "not good", she wasn’t completely off the mark.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Varian makes it clear he will do ''anything'' to save his father and seek justice. Apparently, he didn't factor himself in the equation, abducting the queen to lure the princess because the queen is the weak link of the Royal Family who wouldn't be able to fight back. Plus, he wanted to emotionally hurt Rapunzel rather than fight her himself. Clearly, the only cost he is unwilling to pay is his own life.
* IfICantHaveYou: A twist on the usual trope - when he is unable to free his father, yet Rapunzel is able to free both of her parents, Varian flips his lid and declares that if he can't have a happy ending, neither can anyone else.
* InkSuitActor: He appears to be a caricature of his actor, Jeremy Jordan.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Varian is blue eyed and well meaning. Or at least he starts out as well-meaning at the beginning of the series; by the end of Season 1, he seems to have made a FaceHeelTurn and to have become sinister, which turns him into more of an example of IcyBlueEyes.
* InsistentTerminology: He's insists on telling people he's "an alchemist, not a wizard".
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Varian is the smartest guy around, but it's clear he does not have that many friends (human ones at least), and noticeably has trouble relating to others and listening to them. For starters, he spends too much time in his lab. Most of the time though, it's usually that his lack of restraint and common sense make him a danger to others.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: From the moment he decides to make his FaceHeelTurn, his mental state rapidly deteriorates while his villainy rapidly escalates, going from lying and manipulating to outright attempted murder. Even he is aware of this, which he states in "Ready As I'll Ever Be".
* KnightOfCerebus: When he turns to the dark side, the series goes with him for the remainder of Season 1, especially in the finale where he is a legitimately menacing threat.
* LikesOlderWomen: Varian appears to have thing for Cassandra, who is clearly older than he. He even acknowledges this in the season finale - right before attempting to murder her.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: His father being TakenForGranite breaks Varian's already brittle sense of restraint and drives him to plot revenge against Corona's royal family.
* MadScientist: Varian is a brilliant scientist, but he's kind of a whack-job who doesn't always think through the consequences of his inventions.
* MagicVersusScience: Out to prove the superiority of alchemy over magic, to he point where he [[ArbitrarySkepticism implies that he doesn't believe magic was involved in the series' events.]]
* ManBehindTheCurtain: Non-villainous example. He's built up and said to be a wizard who is dangerous and intimidating and wore a mask to give him that appearance, but much to Rapunzel's disappointment, he's just a whiz-kid who happens to be an alchemist. However, he turns out to be a nut-job who doesn't seem to know what he's doing, so in a way, he is dangerous and only becomes moreso later on.
* ManipulativeBastard: He personally manipulates Rapunzel in "The Alchemist Returns", and then is able to manipulate her father and his guards from a distance in "Secret of the Sundrop".
* MeaningfulName:
** The name "Varian" is French for "Variable", which means not consistent and having a fixed pattern, and liable to change.
** "Varian" is also Latin for "fiddle", which reflects on his nature of ''fiddling'' with forces beyond his understanding or control.
* MissingMom: Though we are introduced to his father Quirin, his mother hasn't been shown yet, aside from a portrait.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: When he comes to Rapunzel seeking help for his father, Quirian, only to be turned away during the blizzard in "Queen For a Day", the bitterness at being snubbed motivates his FaceHeelTurn.
* MulticoloredHair: His hair is mostly brown with a [[SkunkStripe teal-grey streak]] and lighter brown highlights.
* NeverBareheaded: Not once do we see him without the antique goggles he wears.
* NeverMyFault: The reason for his FaceHeelTurn at the end of "Queen for a Day" is because he blames Rapunzel and the entire Kingdom for letting him down. But really, he brought it on himself by tampering with the spikes, especially after being repeatedly warned by his father not to, although this is more his dad's fault than his own for never explaining ''why''. This flaw of his grows worse in the season finale, where he blames the King for "villifying him" as a result of his own villainous actions, and then blames Rapunzel for his failure to use her hair to free his father.
-->'''Varian''': It's not my fault! None of this is! It's ''her'' fault!
** For the record the king did accuse Varian of attacking Rapunzel long before he did anything actually criminal forcing him to go into hiding for months.
* NotSoDifferent: In a way, he and Cassandra are similar, despite their [[BrainsAndBrawn contrasting methods]] of approach. Both of them are driven to earn the respect of others, especially their fathers. But in being so obsessed with their desire to prove themselves, they end up causing more harm than good. Things take a darker turn when they both end up [[FaceHeelTurn betraying Rapunzel]] in order to pursue their own goals.
* OlderHeroVersusYoungerVillain: Well, everyone's older than him, so this goes without saying.
* NiceGuy: Varian is well-meaning, compassionate, and helpful. [[FaceHeelTurn Until he loses his father, that is.]]
* PayEvilUntoEvil: This is what Varian ''thinks'' he is doing with Corona, its royal family in particular - he fully acknowledges that he's "sunk pretty low", but believes that the victims of his villainous actions deserve to suffer.
* RageBreakingPoint: Not being able to free his father as predicted but seeing Rapunzel reunited with both her parents is what pushes his anger to its highest point, and emerges in his giant automaton.
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: {{Justified|Trope}}. Varian has a good number of inventions that are very effective, and he tries to avert this trope. The problem is, some of his inventions destroyed his village more than once, and his latest one nearly leveled the castle, so it's no wonder no one can trust their lives with him or his inventions.
* RescueRomance: Develops a crush on Cassandra after she rescues him in his first appearance, lasting into ''Great Expotations.'' But ultimately subverted in the end: [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope after his descent into villainy, he tries to kill her the same as everybody else.]]
* {{Revenge}}: "And I swear right now, that no matter what comes of me, anybody that stands or has stood in my path, they're going to pay! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis They...will...pay."]]
* SimpleStaff: Varian is usually seen carrying a staff, but all he does is use it as a walking stick and carry a few potions, some of which act as light sources.
* SingingVoiceDissonance: Has a rather raspy teenage voice that becomes deeper and more adultlike without the rasp when singing.
* SlasherSmile: Gives Rapunzel a rather frightening one in "The Alchemist Returns" as he betrays her, fully realizing his FaceHeelTurn. Then again when he confronts Rapunzel and King Frederic in "Secret of the Sundrop."
* SmugSnake: While he's a brilliant inventor and an exceptionally clever thinker, his impetuousness and emotional instability often gets in the way of his success, driving him to start completely losing his cool when things aren't going the way he wants them to go, contrasting with the overconfidence he'd have displayed beforehand.
* StartOfDarkness: "Queen for a Day" details his. When his father is trapped in crystal after Rapunzel refused to help due to trying to stop Zhan Tiri’s blizzard, Varian blames Rapunzel and swears vengeance upon her and the Kingdom of Corona. Darkness even literally falls upon him in the moment.
* TeenGenius: At age 14, he easily stands out as being the smartest of the cast.
* TeensAreMonsters: Varian is only ''14'', making him by far the youngest villain in any Disney Princess-based franchise. But, things were messed up for him to begin with. He's feared, castigated, and doubted by society, and they don't appreciate any of his efforts even if he failed. Plus, he cares about a problem that the King refused to acknowledge, and the tragic incident that took his father pretty much did it all. Basically, all the ill that he experiences only fed his ruthlessness, and from that, neither Rapunzel nor the Queen see him as a monster, just a child who's lost.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: He didn't see himself as evil following his vengeful turn, but eventually decides that if what he's doing makes him the bad guy, then he'll accept that label.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Ends up undergoing this in the epilogue of "Queen For A Day". Later becomes fully realized in the climax of "The Alchemist Returns".
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Subverted. His only appearance in merchandise this far is in a figurine set released by Disney Store. Since villains only tend to be released by Disney Store and not Mattel, this foreshadows his StartOfDarkness.
* TragicVillain: His father was encased in amber, and he vows {{Revenge}} on Rapunzel because he blames her for his predicament.
* TraitorShot: The very last shot of "Queen For A Day" has him give a glowering KubrickStare [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou to the camera]] while [[DramaticSpotlight lit as a shadow by the ceiling light from behind]].
* WalkingSpoiler: What only one episode can end up doing for a character.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Rapunzel, Cassandra and Eugene.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Really wants his inventions and alchemy to make his dad proud.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: After his FaceHeelTurn, Varian really stands out as a disturbingly dark villain in this series, which is comparatively more lighthearted than the film. Taking into account his actions (extortion, abduction of a royal consort, attempted cold-blooded murder of a royal consort and Crown Princess), he makes even ''Mother Gothel'' (whose crimes are abduction of baby Rapunzel, DomesticAbuse, and attempted murder of a convicted thief) chump-change.
* VillainHasAPoint:
** When Varian accuses King Frederic of "vilifying him",He means when Frederic scapegoated him for "attacking the princess" in "Queen for a Day" so as to keep him quiet and send guards after him because he had the scroll. It's also hard to argue with Varian when he mentions that King Frederic failed to address the danger that threatens their kingdom and kept it all a secret, while he's the only one who cared. Sure enough, the King does take this to heart, and realizes Varian isn't 100% to blame for what is happening.
** When Rapunzel tries to change his mind about using her hair to break the crystal by saying "I promise it will be all right", he answers with reminding her "what happened the last time [Rapunzel] ''promised'' that?" (referring to when she promised the same in "Queen for a Day" but couldn't come through, resulting in his father being encased in crystal.) It's an ArmorPiercingQuestion for Rapunzel, to which she can't answer; and you can't deny that Rapunzel indeed made a promise to him she couldn't keep and now is about to make the same mistake again.
* VillainSong: He has two: the DarkReprise of "Let Me Make You Proud" and his part of [[CrowdSong "Ready As I'll Ever Be"]].
* VillainousBreakdown: When Rapunzel's hair fails to free his father and Rapunzel promptly frees both of her own parents, Varian snaps and tries to kill everyone in a vindictive rage.
* VillainousUnderdog: Varian is a low-level commoner from a backwater village and has no money or power of sorts, and not even a BadassNormal, and he knows he's at a disadvantage when he's up against the Royal Family and the Royal Guard. But, his main strengths are his intelligence and patience, allowing him to accomplish so much with so little. To this effect, he came up with an elaborate scheme to separate the King, Rapunzel, and the Royal Guard to take the weak link of the Royal Family--the Queen. In doing so, he does a ''lot'' of emotional damage to the former two.
* WouldHitAGirl: He captures Queen Arianna, and later tries to kill both her and Cassandra.
* YouKilledMyFather: Blames Rapunzel, and by extension Corona, for not coming to him in his time of need and letting his father be trapped in crystal and swears that "they...will...pay." When really, it's his dad's own fault combined with his own personal recklessness.

A shopkeeper that's friendly to everyone in the Kingdom of Corona... except to Rapunzel.
----
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Being the NiceGuy, practically everybody in Corona's capital have nothing but good things to say about him. This only makes his [[DislikesTheNewGuy contempt for Rapunzel]] sting even more for her. Eventually he and Rapunzel come to a compromise as she becomes [[SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond the only one]] that doesn't like him (albiet with a light-hearted undertone to it).

Other people who live in the Kingdom of Corona.
----
* DanceLine: Rapunzel initiates one while touring the kingdom.
* FryingPanOfDoom: At the end, the Royal Guard seem to have adopted this as their primary weapon.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: With the exception of Maximus the horse, Corona's guards are incredibly incompetent. First they couldn't catch an old lady running and carrying a baby or find the nearby tower where she hid. Then they couldn't catch Flynn until he was literally tied up and handed to them, despite the fact that he was dancing around town in plain sight and they knew he was accompanied by a girl who really stands out in a crowd. They leave their wimpiest guy alone with two humongous brutes, and he turns out about as effective as you would expect. Finally, it was laughably easy for Flynn to swipe the tiara in the first place.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The voice of Feldspar the Cobbler (Creator/ZacharyLevi) is patterned after Ed Wynn, a comedian who worked in vaudeville, radio, and film.
* PoliceAreUseless: It says a lot that the most competent, efficient and devoted member of the guards is the guard leader's horse. Who ends up getting the guard leader's job. For his part, the Captain of the Guard has shown an incredible amount of devotion (how many guys can immediately resume chasing a thief after getting knocked unconscious?) and his heart's certainly in the right place. Unfortunately, he's let down by his poor decision making, his men, his lack of intelligence and his tendency to get knocked out at the worst possible time. However, the series reveals a more realistic explanation to this--they utilize predictable tactics.

->'''Voiced by''': Britt Robertson\\
'''Appearances''': ''[[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries The Series]]''
A whip-smart no-nonsense teenager who sells weapons on the streets of Vardaros, and is well connected with the local criminals. She acts as Rapunzel and company's "guide" in Vardaros, but only if she's well paid.
----
* BecomingTheMask: She only goes along with Rapunzel's scheme to reinspire Captain Quaid because she's being paid to act the part. It's a great surprise to her when ''she'' ends up being inspired even before Quaid is.
* TheDragAlong: She has no desire whatsoever to get involved in Rapunzel's crusades, and only does so because she's being paid. Even so, she spends most of her presence complaining and mocking Rapunzel's idealism.
* {{Foil}}: To Varian - Both are dark-haired teens who live in run-down areas and both undergo a change in morality not long after meeting Rapunzel. Varian started out as an {{Adorkable}}, optimistic alchemist, willing to help anyone for no charge at all, who eventually became a delluded, vengeful pyschopath. Vex was a no-nonsense, pessimistic weapons seller who only did errands, even for the likes of The Baron, for money, before seeing how noble it is to stand up and fight for her city's freedom.
* HatesBeingTouched: Refuses to be hugged by Rapunzel.
* HeelFaceTurn: She starts out remorselessly selling Eugene out to the Baron for a sack of cash. She ends up genuinely rallying the people as Vardaros' deputy sheriff.
* KnightInSourArmor: After the above, Vex takes up the sword to protect Vardaros even when nobody else cares. Given that she herself is TheCynic who only started caring that day, she's not at all happy about own her decisions.
-->'''Vex''': I can't believe I'm doing this. I feel like an idiot!\\
'''Eugene (fondly)''': Yeah, kid. Becoming one of the good guys will do that.
* MeaningfulName: To vex is to bring trouble to others, and she has a tendency to do that.

The old retired sheriff in Vardaros.
----
* BeeBeeGun: He uses his bees when he confronts Anthony and the Collector.
* CynicismCatalyst: Everyone thinks Quaid gave up when he was finally defeated by an unstoppable mercenary called "the Collector." As it turns out, while he did lose he didn't really care. What actually made him lose heart was the way the townspeople gave up after seeing him lose, to the point where they didn't join him to fight against the Baron and let criminals take over the town, leaving him believing inspiring people was impossible. In the present, he sees the fact that Vex (who was born after Quaid's heyday) has grown to be an unabashed cynic as a sign that he was right all along, which is why Rapunzel uses her to try and change his mind.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He makes good use of a jar of honey and his bees to defeat the Collector during his rematch with him.
* RetiredBadass: He was a great sheriff, but lost heart when the townspeople gave up after seeing him lose against a mercenary called the Collector. The whole plot of his debut episode is to make him drop the "Retired" part.

'''Appearances''': ''[[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries The Series]]''
A bizarrely charming king, having ruled over the Dark Kingdom twenty-five years ago when it was troubled by the mysterious black rocks caused by the Moon Opal.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: Appears to have lost his right arm in an attempt to destroy the Moon Stone.
* AntiVillain: He opposes Rapunzel and her friends, but [[WellIntentionedExtremist out of noble intentions]].
* ArcVillain: While more of a HeroAntagonist, he's essentially the de-facto arc villain for Season 2, as his goal is to keep people, including Rapunzel and her friends, out of the Dark Kingdom, with Adira (when she initially appears) and Hector following his will, and only appearing in the season's double-length special episodes.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's part of a long line of badass kings and queens, and it shows.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Probably even more so than Adira. He is an indomitable badass in combat, curb-stomping all enemies with ease, but outside his combat is fairly goofy and charming.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He's not evil himself; his kingdom is named the Dark Kingdom ''because'' they are victim to the stone that birthed the black spiked rocks.
* DeathGlare: He attempts to give Eugene the "glower", with the same [[EpicFail effect]] Eugene's "smoulder" had on Rapunzel.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: Lampshaded in "Destinies Collide" when Eugene discovers Edmund is his father and Edmund thinks he's making an aside comment:
-->'''Edmund''': I think this reunion is off to a great start! We're finding common ground, exchanging stories; I just might win him over yet.\\
'''Eugene''': You know, I can hear what you're saying.\\
'''Edmund''' [''apologizes'']: [[LampshadeHanging Oh... I'm sorry, I must be speaking my thoughts out loud.]] I have been alone a long time. [''clears throat''] How's this: You are unaware of what I'm thinking now, yes?\\
'''Eugene''': Yeah, no; you're saying everything that you're thinking out loud, and I can still hear all of it.\\
'''Edmund''': Drat! I will work on this skill.
* FamilyEyeResemblance: [[spoiler:He and Eugene have the same eyes.]]
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: PlayedForLaughs. In "Destinies Collide", he talks to himself about his schemes to gain Eugene's trust [[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud out loud, with Eugene standing right next to him]].
* HandicappedBadass: Lost his arm trying to destroy the Moon Stone, but can still hold his own against Eugene, Rapunzel and Adira at the same time and win.
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: He ultimately realizes that keeping Rapunzel away from the Moonstone is wrong thanks to the conviction of his son, Eugene, and he allows her to fulfill her destiny.]]
* HeroAntagonist: King Edmund is only an antagonist because he refuses to let ''anyone'' touch the Moonstone and get killed, or make things worse.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: [[spoiler:He has a pathetic attempt at a DeathGlare reminiscent to that of Eugene's "smoulder".]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:It is revealed in the Season 2 finale that he is Eugene's father.]]
* MeaningfulName: Ed'''mund''', "mund" sounding similar to "moon".
* MyGreatestFailure: He is ashamed at his previous attempt to destroy the Moonstone, which nearly cost him his life [[spoiler: and ''did'' cost his wife hers.]]
* NoIndoorVoice: His skills at making inaudible aside comments aren't exactly up to snuff when Eugene mentions that he can hear his dad's thoughts, which are quite audible.
* PosthumousCharacter: Subverted. Hector indicated he was long dead since he last touched the Moonstone, and was only trying to honor his "dying wish". It turns out Edmund ''did'' recover. The last time Hector saw him, he was on his deathbed, and thought he died afterwards.

----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Her name, appearance, and voice actress point to her being of an Asian ethnicity. She's voiced by Creator/KellyHu, which may serve as a hint to possible Asian heritage.
* AmbiguousGender: When she appeared in TheStinger for Season 1, her gender wasn't revealed. She's revealed in the Season 2 premiere to be a woman.
* ArcHero: For Season 2. She's the main hero responsible for helping Rapunzel reach her destiny to end the threat of the Moonstone.
* BlackSwordsAreBetter: She has a sword made of the same material that the black rocks are made of, which makes it indestructible and the only thing seen able to cut through them with it.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Let's just say her personality is not at all what her tall, intimidating appearance would suggest. Cassandra sums her up pretty well as a "weirdo".
* TheFaceless: In the Season 1 finale, the viewer can't see her face because the camera only shows her from the back. She also wears a "hoodie" over her head to hide her face from the side.
* HatesBeingTouched: One of the first things we find out about her is that she hates being touched. Hair counts, too.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: She embraces that people find her "eccentric" and "unconventional", but finds it strange when Cassandra calls her a "weirdo".
* MeaningfulName: "Adira" means "a great female" in Hebrew.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks the same in the present as she does in a flashback showing her 25 years previous.
* RedHerring: There were several vague hints that made us think she would turn on Rapunzel once all was said and done. [[spoiler:Nope. That honor goes to Cassandra]].
* TheStinger: Appears at the end of "Secret of the Sundrop" wielding a sword similar to the black rocks that can cut said rocks.
* UnknownCharacter: Between her first appearance at the cliffhanger of Season 1 and the Season 2 premiere, nothing was known of her other than that she has the exact same marking on her right hand as on Quirin's left hand, so all we knew was that there was a connection between them.
