History Characters / Zombieland

* Expy: She seems to be one of Juanita "Princess" Sanchez from The Walking Dead. Both are introduced as a cheerful, pink-clad CloudCuckooLander with dyed/bleached hair who may have ended up a little loopy from a lack of unzombified human interaction before they met up with the main survivor group.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Spacey she may be, she does hold a good chance against the zombies both during the RV fight and at the climax. Wichita even compliments her on this.

* HiddenDepths: As much as a clueless dunce she appears to be, she definitely is proven to be rather smart when it comes to zombie killing.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: As his allies gather up [[CoolGuns submachine guns and semi-automatic shotguns]], Columbus insists on sticking with his IGA Coach double-barrel shotgun. By the sequel, he still totes a shotgun, but has upgraded to a pump action.

* WeaponOfChoice: As his allies gather up [[CoolGuns submachine guns and semi-automatic shotguns]], Columbus insists on sticking with his IGA Coach double-barrel shotgun. By the sequel, he still totes a shotgun, but has upgraded to a pump action.

* WeaponOfChoice: She uses an Mossberg Maverick Model 88 pump-action shotgun (a cheaper version of the Mossberg 500) as her main weapon, and a Walther PPK pistol as a backup.

* WeaponOfChoice: A Taurus Model [=62C=] Takedown rifle in 22-caliber.

* CrazyPrepared: Columbus has a fairly long and exhaustive list of rules for surviving the apocalypse such as "Know Your Way Out", "[[CampingACrapper Beware of Bathrooms]]" and [[TropeNamer the famous]] "DoubleTap".

* NoNameGiven: He only refers to himself as "Columbus", which is where he's from.

* RedOniBlueOni: Blue Oni to Tallahassee's Red Oni. He’s timid and rational while Tallahassee is somewhat unstable.

* BloodKnight: Tallahassee loves him some zombie killin'. Columbus notes that he has some sort of chip on his shoulder for them that goes beyond "it's okay to kill zombies". [[spoiler:That's because they killed his son]].

* CelebrityParadox: ''Double Tap'' sees Creator/WesleySnipes's pardon list ''Film/WhiteMenCantJump'' -- which co-starred Creator/WoodyHarrelson.

* NoNameGiven: He only refers to himself as "Tallahassee", which is where he's from.

* PopCulturedBadass

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She warms up to Colombus's charms. Contrary to her sister stating Wichita falls for "[[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad boys]]".

* ReplacementGoldfish: Becomes one to Talahassee for [[spoiler: his son]].

Columbus's next-door neighbor at college. She became a zombie and tried to kill him.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: Scaring people whilst dressed like a zombie]] is not wise at all, and it gets him killed.

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: [[spoiler:In ''Double Tap'', a flashback to a press junket for (the fictional) ''Garfield 3'' has him telling an interviewer that his real reason for doing the films is "Drugs cost money"]].

* DisneyDeath: It was assumed that she turned into a zombie and was shot dead by Columbus, but [[spoiler: it later turns out that she just suffered an allergic reaction which she recovered from and that Columbus shot over her head to scare her away.]]

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's blonde and very sweet natured.

* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Eating almonds which she was highly allergic to since she mistook it as [[InsaneTrollLogic "vegan food"]]. It causes her to both get anaphylaxis and nearly killed by Columbus.]]

* TooDumbToLive: It’s a truly mind-boggling mystery as to how he’s still alive years after the world ended when his stupidity, preference for melting guns into symbols of peace and great hesitance to engage in combat of any kind would have seen him killed or infected mere hours or days into the outbreak.

* NiceHat: His Stetson.

* HollywoodNerd: He is a shut-in who, like [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Zoey]], wasted all his time in his apartment, guzzling junk food, and dreaming about the GirlNextDoor. Though he was less preoccupied with watching Zombie B-Movies than playing ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', and was surprisingly limber for a nerd.

* HollywoodNerd: As a foil to Columbus, he's extremely geeky.

** She's acts angry and jealous when she learn about Columbus and Madison being a couple even when she pretty much abandon him, only returning to him when Little Rock dissapear and the fact that Columbus hasn't seen a woman in months.

* {{Hypocrite}}: In ''Double Tap'', she's upset by Little Rock abandoning her, ignoring that she constantly did the same thing to Columbus and Tallahassee in the previous film. Both Columbus and Tallahassee inform her on this, but she constantly tries to justify it.
