* ActionGirl: Becomes one as {{Subverted}}. Even when she becomes a soldier, she doesn't fight much—most of it is running around, trying not to get shot. Creator/AlanMoore said that he wanted her to be normal and had "no inclination to unleash yet another Tough Bitch With A Disintegrator And An Extra 'Y' Chromosome upon the story goes on, especially after joining the army.world."


Added DiffLines:

* {{Everygirl}}: She's simply an ordinary girl trying to improve her lot in life and not get killed in the process.

[[folder: Halo Jones]]

* ActionGirl: Becomes one as the story goes on, especially after joining the army.
* BreakTheCutie: Oh, does she go through a ''lot'' in this story.
* CartwrightCurse: First, [[spoiler: Toy]] who is in love with her dies. Then, she has to [[spoiler: kill Luiz himself, popping his valve on a protective gravity suit during a kiss]] after figuring out what he did.
* FamedInStory: In the flashforward future over 14 centuries after her death she's a historical figure, with lectures held about her. Albeit, one who's had a lot of controversy and misinformation about her: at one point, a past (future for story, but past for flashforward) chauvinistic ruling group having been said to have tried to pretend she was a ''male'' figure.
* FishOutOfWater: When out of the Hoop for the first time, a lot of things are very strange for her. Such as the concept of being barefoot.
* FireForgedFriendship: Her and Toy have been through a lot together.
* DespairEventHorizon: Reaches one after the death of [[spoiler: Toy]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone
* ObliviousToLove: Doesn't pick up that Toy isn't talking about being best friends, when she confesses how she feels about Halo,
* ResignedToTheCall: Why she later returns to [[spoiler: the military]] after "leave". An apparently common fate in-universe.
* WideEyedIdealist: Starts off the story very determined to escape the Hoop and make a better life for herself.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: If only she could have known what saving the [[spoiler: Rat King]] would have [[HordeOfAlienLocusts led]] [[CivilizationDestroyer to]]?

[[folder: Toy Molto]]


* ActionGirl: Even before her joining the military, she tried help save Halo against a robot literally built to be effective at killing. While help was needed at the end, she did a good job and bought valuable time.
* BiTheWay: Confirmed to have been in love with Halo, confessing suchm even if Halo didn't [[ObliviousToLove pick up on it]] and Toy decided to not try again. Has also been on a date with a man, but it didn't work out as he was so condescending as to not bother remembering her [[MaliciousMisnaming proper name]].
* CannotSpitItOut: Has trouble with this she confesses, in regards to her feelings about things.
* {{Cyborg}}: Very minor example, but she had an implant and a false ear put in place. The ear because her last one was bitten off by someone and the implant because she is a major fan of her soaps.
* SacrificialLion
* StatuesqueStunner: Very tall, towering over all except Luiz Cannibal.
