* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: 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]].

** This would later turn up again in "Island's Apart" where his worry causes him to lash out at her for [[CallingtheOldManOut calling him out on keeping her past a secret from her.]] This only turns a bad situation worse, as Cassandra ends up abandoning him completely.

--->Please, dear, It's Cassandra. Let her talk. What happened here? Was this Rapunzels idea?

--->Those were my grandmother's wedding rings!

* NiceGuy: Aside from Rapunzel, he is an absolute sweetheart to everyone on Corona and is well loved as a result.

* GoodCounterpart: Cassandra lived the first four years of her life with Mother Gothel, who was TheSociopath who, after an IgnoredEpiphany abandoned Cassandra to kidnap Rapunzel. The Captain is a ParentsAsPeople who adopted Cassandra and when Cassandra disowned him, had a MomentOfWeakness but still choses Cassandra over a fantasy and even renounces his career to be with his daughter.

* TheConscience: He makes sure to keep Cassandra on the right path, nonverbally scolding her for lying to Rapunzel.

* OddFriendship: He bonds with Eugene in "Islands Apart", despite his master's dislike of the ReformedCriminal.

* 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]].

* IllGirl: The Queen in the opening narration, which prompted the soldiers to search out the flower.

* 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. It's telling that Eugene and [[spoiler:Varian]], both of whom are former criminals, do a much better job at protecting the kingdom than them.
** Offscreen, they ''all'' apparently decided it was a good idea to trust a strange man hiding in a bush, while giving out cookies, and asking for extremely classified information on the Sundrop. The guards never bother to question him and readily accept the cookies, allowing Varian to drug them with truth serum, learn the location of the Sundrop, and cause so much chaos within the palace he's able to steal the flower with little difficulty.

* 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.
* ItsAllMyFault: After avoiding telling Rapunzel the truth for several episodes, Frederic finally takes responsibility for the current crisis in "Secret Of The Sundrop" and shares his most shameful secret: [[spoiler:the black rocks encroaching on Corona are the result of him using the Sundrop flower to his save his wife and daughter two decades earlier. He was warned beforehand that doing so would have terrible consequences, but he was willing to take that risk and prioritized saving his family over the safety of his kingdom.]]
* 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.

* 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.

* 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: he wants his soldiers to follow her everywhere she goes, reads her private journal, and goes as far as locking her up in a tower on her eighteenth birthday. [[KnightTemplarParent Well-intentioned and genuinely wanting to protect his daughter he may be]], he ends up stifling the freedom she's wanted for so long in an effort to keep her safe. Eugene even [[NotSoDifferentRemark compares him to Gothel]] to his face. Fortunately, CharacterDevelopment causes him to grow out of this.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Her name, appearance, and voice actress point to her being of an Asian ethnicity. Her voice actor, Kelly Hu, is of Chinese descent, so Adira may be as well.

* 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.

* WouldHurtAChild:[[spoiler: had no issue sending armed guards after Varian who was only 14 years old]].

* NiceGuy: King Frederic is loving and joyous.

* WouldHurtAChild: Didn’t seem to have any problem [[spoiler: sending armed guards to hunt down Varian who is only 14.]]

* WouldHurtAChild:Didn’t seem to have any problem [[spoiler: sending armed guards to hunt down Varian who is only 14.]]

* BeastMaster: He has two binturongs who are always at his beck and call and his stead is a ''rhinoceros''.

* GrammarNazi: She corrects others on the pronunciation of [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY "spire"]] no matter the situation.

* BadassMustache: Stan is the older and stronger of the two and has mustache.

* BadassMoustache: What physically differentiates him from Eugene is his pencil mustache.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: She is taller, heavier-built and has a distinctly shaped head and feathering on her hooves, none of which Max or any of the other Royal Guard horses have. Her features seem to suggest that she is based on a [[Clydesdale horse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clydesdale_horse]]

%%* StatuesqueStunner: She is taller than most everyone else in the cast.

* StatuesqueStunner: She is taller than most everyone else in the cast.

* ParentsAsPeople: The Captain is a good man who raised Cassandra to be strong, independent, and taught her the importance of earning your goals through hard work. However, as TheStoic who is a {{workaholic}}, 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 MilitaryBrat who thinks the only way to please her father is to become a Royal Guard. This trope is deconstructed at ''Islands Apart'', where the Captain confronts Cassandra about her betrayal of Rapunzel, discovering a person completely different, full of a rage the captain never had seen before. Then he realizes he has failed Cassandra as a father, and desperately [[EmotionsVersusStoicism tries to become more emotional]] while he makes a DealWithTheDevil with a JackassGenie to get another chance to [[RaiseHimRightThisTime Raise Cassandra Right This Time]] in a futile effort to atone for his errors. However, the Captain recognizes that his work is not the most important thing in his life, Cassandra is, so he retires and gets a BeardOfSorrow symbolizing his CharacterDevelopment and manages to reconcile with Cassandra.

* WhatTheHellHero: He gets one of this for Rapunzel at "Islands Apart", when the Captain is so desperate after Cassandra's treason that he really wants to abandon the Isle and start a new life with the false Cassandra trying to [[RaiseHimRightThisTime Raise Her Right This Time]], without realising that he is doing exactly the same thing Goethel, Cassandra's real mother, did to Cassandra twenty years ago.
-->'''Rapunzel''': The'' real ''Cass is still out there. Listen to me soldier, you do just not get to forget about Cass and start over. [[ThickerThanWater Family sticks together]].
