* {{Chiaroscuro}}: He is named after this concept. He was given the name [[IronicName ironically]] by his parents, as the term refers to dark and light playing off each other and rats far prefer the dark.

The part about the rats doesn't apply to Despereaux.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the book, the rats are described to be ugly, and Roscuro's ugly appearance is actually the cause of the Queen's heart attack but in the movie, the rats don't look particularly ugly. Desperaux also looks less like a real mouse and more like an infant in the movie.

* GoodIsBadAndBadIsGood: Despereaux is not frightened by things that are intended to scare him (such as carving knives) and draws a picture of a cat in his book, nicknaming it “Fluffy.” Such courage and appreciation for cute animals would be considered normal behaviors among humans, but his parents and teachers are all shocked and horrified about this.
* NeverBareHeaded: Despereaux keeps his red hat on most of the time, although he does take it off when bowing in front of Pea.
* OpeningShoutOut: Early on in the film, the meager Despereaux becomes enchanted with certain, often-recurred Renaissance notions of heroism: honor, courage, chivalry, and truth. When Despereaux encounters Hovis, the older mouse [[CrypticConversation cryptically]] references these precise words to reassure the frightened mouse.
-->'''Hovis:''' Courage, right?\\
'''Despereaux:''' And truth. And honor.\\
'''Hovis:''' Good. But especially courage.\\
'''Despereaux:''' I'm ready.
* ResourcefulRodent: Despereaux uses a sewing needle as a sword and the rodent civilisation often uses junk and trash as objects, clothes, etc.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the book, the rats are described to be ugly, and Roscuro's ugly appearance is actually the cause of the Queen's heart attack but in the movie, the rats, including Roscuro, don't look particularly ugly.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Roscuro in the book was a common castle rat who was already being trained to steal and trick to stay true to [[YouDirtyRat his species' reputation]], not the domesticated, bumbling companion of a human sailor.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Roscuro starts off as a good guy and a TokenGoodTeammate for the rats, [[spoiler:has a FaceHeelTurn after Pea rejects his apology, and eventually settles on the Face side for good when he stops the rats from eating Pea and helps Despereaux defeat Botticeli.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: Roscuro is one for the rats [[spoiler:until his (temporary) FaceHeelTurn]].
