* AxCrazy: What she lacks in intelligence, self-control or emotional maturity, she makes up for in sheer bloodlust. Bozzok explicitly compares her to a rabid dog [[spoiler: before she kills him]].



* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's a complete idiot who once tried to kill Haley by throwing pickles at her. She's also a high-level assassin who's come very close to killing the party at several points.



* IResembleThatRemark: [[spoiler: Her response to Bozzok calling her a rabid dog who has to be constantly restrained from going feral is to...beat him death and rampage through the town of gnomes killing people for fun.]]

* InconsistentSpelling: Spelled "Bozzak" in ''On the Origin of [=PCs=]''.



* SmugSnake: Grubwiggler tells him he was never as clever as he thought before teleporting away. Bozzok ''was'' clever... but Grubwiggler is still right. This also applies to his combat skills; he's evidently proud of his abilities, but his only onscreen victory is against an injured, unarmed Haley that he was fighting two-on-one. Belkar described him as a glorified pickpocket, and without his Sneak Attack, he has trouble even whittling Haley down in melee while she shoots his flankers to death.

* DecompositeCharacter: Initially believed to be one from Hilgya (who'd been the only cleric of Loki to appear in the strip and was still in NeverFoundTheBody territory) but {{Jossed}} by the Giant, saying he needed a cleric for the plot and picked Loki for a believable enough god for a criminal cleric to worship.

* TakeThatKiss: She's the victim of one at Belkar's hands (or rather, lips) halfway through a fight, [[InstantSeduction and is so enamored by him]] that she begs him to remember her when he leaves, which is how their brief relationship starts.

Added DiffLines:

* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: The flesh golem scheme. [[spoiler:Both Haley and Grubwiggler point out the problems with it: Haley argues that it would have been safer and cheaper to just raise Crystal, give her a couple magic items, and throw her at Haley again, and Grubwiggler points out that it would have been safer and cheaper to just buy a regular, mindless, perfectly controllable golem. However, Bozzok's pride and control-freakishness causes him to take one of his most loyal and skilled servants and force her into a procedure that turns her into a monster at the cost of her sanity and putting her through constant pain that only ceases when she harms others. Once Haley can actually talk to Crystal, it takes her only a few sentences to point out that Crystal has every reason to try to kill him--and once that's happened, there is absolutely nothing he can do to stop her from beating him to death]].


Added DiffLines:

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:She was a serial murderer who killed people for money and for less than that on a regular basis, but even Haley admits that being turned into a sapient flesh golem was a fate that nobody deserved.]]

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Killed by Golem Crystal at Haley's suggestion. Normally the Thieves' Guild would have the means to resurrect him, but since he died far away from Greysky City, it's unlikely that they'll ever find his body to do so.]]

Does Not Like Shoes has been renamed and redefined to focus on characters that explicitly or implicitly state a preference for going barefoot. Removing misuse

After dying, Crystal is in the outer planes, most likely lower ones, and is still "existing" there.


* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler:After Haley dumps her in a LavaPit in Tinkertown, her body is completely incinerated, making her impossible to bring back except by ''True Resurrection'' and ''Wish'', and both these spells will not appear in the comic due to their StoryBreakerPower]].

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: He ditched Bozzok while Bozzok was getting beaten to death because he was sick of the Guild's politics interfering with his work. Understandable given the Guild had robbed him repeated and killed him at one point despite him paying for their extortionate "protection".

* BareYourMidriff: Just like Haley, Crystal's top doesn't go all the way down. Perhaps the lack of full-covering armor is a rogue thing.

* CruelMercy: She's left in such a state by Belkar after he brings her down to 0 HP, incapacitating her. She's not dead, and Belkar sees her as NotWorthKilling and rock his new boat with Haley, so just leaves her there so Haley can kill her later and so he can go find Mr. Scruffy [[VillainousBreakdown as she screams at him that she's important and worth killing]].
