->'''Stinger Actress''': Unknown

->'''Stinger Actor''': Unknown

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In ''How Gilda Got Her Shine Back'', this her reaction to learning [[NiceJobBreakingItHero she may have caused an Earth fire that nearly killed the Professor, Jenny and Moriarty.]] She didn't.

* MeaningfulName: She is a descendant of Sir Francis Beaufort, who devised the Beaufort wind force scale, hence Norwin taking a shine to her.

->'''"Shivera is the [=WeatherGen=] Cold. He is always shivering, even in summer. Shivera is a bit of a worrier, always fretting about this and that, and tends to be afraid of everything."'''

* JerkassFacade / JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though much more subdued than Norwin, Frice is bitter and generally anti-social. He's also in love with Crystella and still cares for the [=WeatherGens=], as well as their human companions.

* AntiVillain: See WellIntentionedExtremist

* Cloudcuckoolander: What people believe he is, when he talks of the 'Gens.

* [[spoiler: KilledOfForReal]]

->'''"I fear my horrible sulphur-spewing powers would pollute the atmosphere of your beautiful planet."'''

* MeaningfulName: Meta-example. The WeatherGens were mascots for the energy company, Powergen, now E.ON U.K.

* OddFriendship: With Norwin, though the others often question whether it's more than just a "friendship".

* HotBlooded: When angered, at least.

* TheEeyore: Subverted. Despite what she represents, she's generally upbeat -- at least, not nearly as depressed as Nimbella.
* HiddenDepths: She's apparently a very good leader in Gilda's absence, though this takes place outside of the books.

* HairTriggerTemper: Arguably {{justified}}, given what weather he represents.

* OlderThanTheyLook: While this trope applies to all [=WeatherGens=], Shivera stands out for his resemblance to a ''young boy''. [[note]]His actor from the indents, Jason Wong, was eight or nine years old at the time.[[/note]]

* Cloudcuckoolander: What people believe he is when

* FauxAffablyEvil

In addition to the [=WeatherGens=] themselves, the books also feature supporting protagonists and antagonists.

The Gen's tropes mainly apply to their book adaptations. The screen caps, however, are from their stingers.

->''"Humans and [=WeatherGens=] should work closer together - for the good of the planet."''

->'''"Gilda is the leader of the [=WeatherGens=]. She makes fair weather clouds and stores sunlight in her body, giving her a bright glow. Always kind and helpful, Gilda is the person the other 'Gens turn to for advice."'''
[[hardline]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In ''How Gilda Got Her Shine Back'', as the Vernal Equinox approaches, Gilda realises she's left it late to recharge her powers at the Sun, and is noticeably sadder as a result. It's relatively {{downplayed}} though, since she's still very much her kind-hearted self.
* PowerSource: [[ThePowerOfTheSun She and Aurora replenish their powers at the Sun]]. As such, they're the only Gens who can leave the Earth.

->''"Can't beat the heat!"''

->'''"Aurora is the [=WeatherGen=] of Summer and Hot Sun. She draws heat from the sun and spreads it across the land bringing very hot summer air. Aurora is a real live wire and can be a little hot-headed!"'''
[[hardline]]

* TheLeader: Temporarily, in ''How Gilda Got Her Shine Back''.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In ''How Gilda Got Her Shine Back'', this her reaction to learning [[NiceJobBreakingItHero she may have caused an Earth fire that nearly killed the Professor, Jenny and Moriarty.]] She didn't.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She may not have directly caused the fire in ''How Gilda Got Her Shine Back'', but she ''did'' end up drying the moorlands considerably with her excessive heat-waves.
* PowerSource: [[ThePowerOfTheSun She and Gilda replenish their powers at the Sun]]. As such, they're the only Gens who can leave the Earth.

->''"Get your umbrellas out: it’s time for a heavy downpour!"''

->'''"Brellina is the [=WeatherGen=] of Rain. She thinks sun is overrated and can't understand why so many people dislike rain. She carries a special umbrella which has a magic all of its own and her 'hair' is a large fountain."'''
[[hardline]]

* MakingASplash: Brellina seems to enjoy her powers a little ''too'' much. When Norwin acknowledges their new human companions to her and Nimbella:
-->''"How exciting! Are they being held hostage? Let me terrify them with water torture! Oh the joy..."''
* PowerSource: She and Nimbella restore their powers at Angel Falls in Venezuela.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Norwin, arguably.
[[/folder]]

->''"I think my snowflakes are the most beautiful weather condition of all - although not everyone agrees..."''

->'''"Crystella is the [=WeatherGen=] of Snow. She is shy quiet, preferring to keep a low profile most of the time. However, she really goes to town every winter, creating wonderful snowflakes. Occasionally, she whips up a blizzard if something annoys her. Crystella is very sweet on Frice, and they often help each other."'''

[[hardline]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Her jealous traits are explored in ''How Gild Got Her Shine Back'', though she's once proved wrong about Aurora, she mellows out.
* DarkIsNotEvil
* DrivenByEnvy: In ''How Gilda Got Her Shine Back'', part of Cyan's anger towards Aurora is attributed her jealousy over not being made temporary leader.

* LeaderWannabe: As evidenced in ''How Gilda Got Her Shine Back''.
* TheQuietOne
* TookALevelInKindness

->''"Trees are very special to me. I can feel their pain..."''

->'''"Florta is the [=WeatherGen=] of Autumn and Light Breezes. A special tree grows on her head, which sheds its leaver every autumn. Dreamy and creative, Florta is like a lead carried in the breeze, and she is in touch with nature. She has a special ability to control trees, making them grow rapidly with a click of her fingers."'''
[[hardline]]

* TheEeyore: Subverted. Despite what she represents, she's generally upbeat -- at least, not nearly as depressed as Nimbella.
* HiddenDepths: She's apparently a very good leader in Gilda's absence, though this takes place outside of the books.

->''"I’m not as cold-hearted as they say..."''

->'''"Frice is the [=WeatherGen=] of Frost. Although he looks a bit scary, Frice isn't as cold-hearted as everyone assumes. He just wishes that more people would like his frost, as he works very hard to make it. Frice is extremely powerful and it is said that he has the power to start a new ice age on Earth. Oh, and he's also secretly in love with Crystella."'''
[[hardline]]

* AntiHero
* AnIcePerson
* JerkassFacade / JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though much more subdued than Norwin, Frice is bitter and generally anti-social. He's also in love with Crystella and still cares for the [=WeatherGens=], as well as their human companions.
* KnightInSourArmour
* LoveInterest: Crystella
* TheRival: To Norwin. This stemmed from the moment Norwin was "born" on prehistoric Earth.

->''"Covering things in a thin shroud of mist tones down those jagged edges. It's ethereal, man. Far out. Chilled out. That's why I do it."''

->'''"Helios is the [=WeatherGen=] of Morning Mist. He likes to be up at dawn, bringing mist to woodlands and hillsides. Helios is very laid-back and never worries about anything."'''
[[hardline]]

* NiceGuy
* TheQuietOne

->'''"Mirka is the [=Weathergen=] of Fog. She loves nothing better than conjuring up thick fog to confuse travellers and make them lose their way. Her fog is feared by sailors and pilots. Mirka never gets lost in her own fog as she has two powerful ''foglight'' laser beam eyes which allow her to see through the thickest clouds."'''
[[hardline]]

* DarkIsNotEvil
* EyeBeams: How she sees through her own fogs.
* NotAMorningPerson: As the quote above addresses. {{Justified}}, given the type of weather she provides.

->''"Nobody is allowed to be as depressed as me!"''

->'''"Nimbella is the [=WeatherGen=] of Drizzle and Overcast Skies. If she seems under the weather - don't worry, she's actually very happy. In fact, Nimbella is happiest when creating big, miserable rainclouds that block out the sun. Her hair is a massive grey raincloud and she is never seen without her glasses."'''
[[hardline]]

* TheEeyore
* MakingASplash
* PowerSource: She and Brellina restore their powers at Angel Falls in Venezuela.

->''"A maniac am I? Perhaps you'd like to see just how manic I can be?"''

->'''"Norwin is the [=WeatherGen=] of Wind. Loud and a bit of a showoff, Norwin is always boasting of how powerful and good looking he is - a bit of a windbag, you could say. When angry he can create fearsome hurricanes and tornadoes."'''
[[hardline]]

* AntiHero
** UnscrupulousHero
* BreakoutCharacter: His stingers appeared much less frequently than the likes of Gilda's, Brellina's and several others. In the books, he's much more prominent.
* DarkIsNotEvil
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Being fearsome and generally unfriendly, few of the other Gens get along with him.
* HairTriggerTemper: Arguably {{justified}}, given what weather he represents.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's the Gen of strong winds, and has a fierce temper to go with it. However, as Gilda points out, Jenny manages to bring out his softer side.
* LoveInterest: Jenny Beaufort. He apparently tried flirting with Florta a millennia ago, though she swiftly rebuffed him.
* NoIndoorVoice
* TheRival: To Frice. This stemmed from the moment Norwin was "born" on prehistoric Earth.
* SitcomArchNemesis: While his main rivalry is with Frice, his relationship with Brellina could be considered this.
* TookALevelInKindness: Courtesy of Jenny.

->''"I’m always shivering, even in summer!"''

->'''"Shivera is the [=WeatherGen=] Cold. He is always shivering, even in summer. Shivera is a bit of a worrier, always fretting about this and that, and tends to be afraid of everything."'''
[[hardline]]

* TheAloner: Unlike the other [=WeatherGens=], he does not generate a type of weather. Instead, he's the physical representation of feeling cold, and acts as a messanger for the creatures of Earth.
* ButtMonkey: While not outright mistreated, he's easily intimidated and mocked by some of his fellow Gens, mainly Frice and Norwin.
* MeaningfulName: Considerably more obvious than the other Gen's names.
* OlderThanTheyLook: While this trope applies to all [=WeatherGens=], Shivera stands out for his resemblance to a ''young boy''. [[note]]His actor from the indents, Jason Wong, was eight or nine years old at the time.[[/note]]
* TheQuietOne
