* ZeroPercentApprovalRating:
** Hanako, Ansem's mother, is universally despised by virtually everyone in Radiant Garden; considering she was a borderline tyrant who believed herself superior to everyone else purely because she was royalty, it's hard to blame them. In ''Moons of Fate'' chapter 7, Yamato states outright that ''no one'' in the castle staff or general public cares for Hanako, and no one, including himself, would bat an eye if she were killed or miss her.
** Braig has also earned this, constantly going out of his way to be an evil scumbag for its own sake and committing such atrocities as [[spoiler:killing Terra's family and trying to assassinate Princess Aurora]], all while admitting that he [[EvilAllAlong was always bad]] and if Xehanort had never come to Radiant Garden, he would have pulled a FaceHeelTurn on his own. By the end of ''New Light'', it's established that everyone and their mother (in some cases literally) wants his head on a pike.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The Insurgos have this to the extreme. They're firmly convinced that ''every'' member of the royal family of Radiant Garden is irredeemably evil purely because [[InTheBlood they're related to the tyrannical Hanako]], despite the fact that Ansem has been nothing but TheGoodKing since he took over, and anyone who doesn't agree with them is automatically their enemy for "kissing up to the royals." When Yamato calls them out on it in ''Moons of Fate'', they blow him off, declaring that Ansem will simply [[InsaneTrollLogic simply drain them dry when they least expect it]].

* InTheBlood: Several characters in Radiant Garden believe that bloodlines carry traits such as cruelty. The [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized Insurgos]] were determined to wipe out the royal family of Radiant Garden because they believed that somewhere along the line, Ansem's descendants would become just as cruel and despotic as his [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen tyrannical parents]]. On the flip side, which proves that the Insurgos are NotSoDifferent from said parents, Ansem's {{Jerkass}} mother Hanako lambasted Ansem for allowing Rimi, his niece [[spoiler: and Kairi's birth mother]], for allowing her to become engaged to Kaname, explicitly stating that Kaname should be locked up [[SinsOfOurFathers simply for being the son of an Insurgo]]. As a whole, it's largely subverted, as it's repeatedly shown that Kaname and Ansem are ''nothing'' like their parents.



* NotSoDifferent: The Insurgos are this to Ansem's tyrannical parents. Both sides are firmly convinced that such things as evil and cruelty are InTheBlood, and absolutely ''nothing'' will convince them otherwise.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: The Insurgos are firmly convinced that the royal family of Radiant Garden are all irredeemably evil purely because [[InTheBlood they're related to the tyrannical Hanako]], and want to overthrow them. However, their methods are openly brutal, and they have no qualms against killing or attempting to kill innocent bystanders, including ''pregnant women'', to get their way; in ''Moons of Fate'', Yamato even tells them point-blank that they're nothing but terrorists who's actions are [[EvilIsPetty more about spiting Hanako than anything else]].

* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: The Insurgos of Radiant Garden. While they ''were'' right that Ansem's parents were nothing but selfish despots, they fall into this because of their inability to accept that said parents' cruelty is ''not'' InTheBlood, and have no qualms against threatening civilians, harming children, and even [[spoiler:killing or trying to kill pregnant women.]]
* SinsOfOurFathers: In the fics set prior to the fall of Radiant Garden, it's established that the Insurgos believe that bloodlines carry certain traits; Ansem's parents were tyrants who saw everyone outside royalty as beneath them, and thus, they're obsessed with bringing down Ansem's rule because they believe that his parents' cruelty is InTheBlood. In ''Radiant'', showing that she's NotSoDifferent from the Insurgos, Ansem's mother, Hanako, reveals she has the same beliefs, outright telling Ansem and Rimi that Kaname should be imprisoned simply for being the son of one of the Insurgos despite the fact that Kaname ''saved'' them from his father.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Braig spent the better part of three decades serving Xehanort, helping him cause all manner of pain and suffering, and continuing to be a petty, evil bastard by kidnapping Koharu/Perdita and raising her as an abused servant girl just to spite and hurt Sora. Come chapter 3, he ''finally'' gets some degree of karmic retribution when the rebels attack his manor and burn it to the ground, forcing him and Holly on the run. While he escaped with his life, his home is destroyed, his cushy life in Hazy Hamlet is basically over, and he's out in the open for Sora and co. to finally track him down.

** Braig turns on Radiant Garden and joins Xehanort out of boredom and dissatisfaction with his job, wanting to be a conqueror rather than a peacekeeper. After Xehanort's defeat, he happily chooses to keep being evil and seems to have no further goal besides petty revenge on Sora and going around making other people miserable [[ForTheEvulz because he likes being a scumbag]]. This is especially prevalent in ''Re:New Light''; whereas he actually plotted for years to get revenge and created the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Sovereign Enforcers]] to that end in the original story, here, he simply kidnaps one of Sora's newborn twins and raises her as a servant girl in Hazy Hamlet, spending the entirety of the fourteen-year TimeSkip lounging in his manor while taking great delight in physically and verbally abusing her [[RevengeByProxy simply for being]] [[SinsOfOurFathers Sora's child]] every chance he gets.

Numerous side materials released by both Kristen Verne and [=YamiChaos27=] take lengths to show that he was never a particularly nice person, sucked at not being a {{Jerkass}} to people, and was a GloryHound who only joined the guard at Radiant Garden for [[BloodKnight the thrill of the fight]] and openly urged Ansem to become a warmongering conqueror just so he could have something to do. All in all, it's made clear that there was already something rotten inside Braig long before Xehanort ''ever'' came to Radiant Garden and recruited him, and even if Xehanort hadn't triggered his descent into villainy, he would have made the jump on his own sooner or later.

** Ventus was [[spoiler: abandoned on the doorstep of an OrphanageOfFear when he was only two days old, and was constantly shunted back and forth between foster homes, as well as bullied by his peers there and verbally abused by the workers. Eventually, he gave up hope on ever finding a home and ran away, coming across Master Xehanort]]. As a result, during the gang's stay in [[Disney/TheRescuers Devil's Bayou]], he's moved to tears over Penny's plight.

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: In the prequels, Ansem serves as one for the ReasonableAuthorityFigure. While undoubtedly TheGoodKing, especially in comparison to [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen his mother]], Ansem was ''too'' reasonable, and several of the problems that occur in the series are because he was lenient on those who didn't deserve it:
** In ''How We Met'', expanded on in ''Moons of Fate'', when Captain Minoru slapped Princess Rimi over a petty disagreement, which was enough to warrant imprisonment, Ansem, although furious, let him off easy by only firing him and banning him from the castle due to his many years of service without a single offense until then. This led to Minoru assisting the Insurgos in invading the castle out of [[EvilIsPetty spite]], leading to one of his guards being [[CareerEndingInjury crippled from the waist down]] and the death of Yamato Kazekiri, the kingdom's hero and one of Ansem's closest friends.
** As shown in ''Radiant Garden Renegades'', Ansem completely failed to learn anything from this. Despite full knowledge that Braig was a BloodKnight and TokenEvilTeammate who only joined the guard for the thrill of the fight and repeatedly tried to convince him to become an invader and conqueror, and that Xehanort was committing such deeds as [[StalkerWithACrush making unwanted advances on Rimi]], Ansem still allowed them to essentially do as they pleased and [[UltimateJobSecurity kept giving them second chances]]. This time, it led to Xehanort destroying Radiant Garden completely and personally killing Kaname and Rimi; had Ansem just learned to put his foot down, Xehanort and Braig's plans could have been stopped before they even began.



* RevengeMyopia: In ''4'' and onwards, Braig's entire motive is getting revenge on Sora for defeating him and ruining Xehanort's plans. Never mind the fact that Braig was helping an absolute madman try to destroy all of existence ForScience.

* NotHelpingYourCase: In chapter 18, Brim gets sick of Patria's SociopathicHero tendencies when she refuses to save [[TokenGoodTeammate Angel]] from the Sovereign Enforcers in favor of rescuing Pith, telling her point-blank that she's nothing but a psychopath who doesn't care about anyone but herself, and only cares about saving Pith because she clings to him as "the only person who won't judge her on being crazy." Patria's response is to scream death threats at Brim, to which Sora has to physically restrain her; an unafraid Brim [[LampshadeHanging notes]] that Paatria's done nothing but prove his point.

* SociopathicHero: Unlike her parents, Patria is a BloodKnight who advocates violence as a solution to every problem, and isn't above landing bullies in the hospital and advocating [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique torturing their enemies for information]] (and outright calling the others stupid when they refuse to consider doing so). Also, as shown in chapters 28 and 33, she's [[spoiler: perfectly willing and able to commit murder rather than simply subdue non-Heartless enemies]]. However, she acts this way for a reason, as [[spoiler:she's trying to vent out the darkness that's been gradually building up inside her heart so that she doesn't explode]].

** Maximus, the Captain of the Guard prior to Minoru, as revealed in ''Moons of Fate''. He had great faith in Minoru, and even recommended that Ansem make him captain in his place. Minoru proved to be a GeneralFailure and EntitledBastard, constantly screwing up in missions, having to be saved by Yamato from his own mistakes, and being insanely jealous that Yamato got the fame and recognition he felt was rightfully owed to him; the final straw was when he slapped Rimi, the crown princess he's supposed to be respecting, for [[[CantTakeCriticism calling him out on being a selfish, entitled loser]], which led Ansem to fire him. Yamato even lampshades it, openly wondering ''what'' Maximus ever saw in Minoru.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Ansem is a bit of a {{deconstruction}} as shown in the prequels; he was ''too'' reasonable. A lot of the problems faced throughout ''Radiant Garden Renegades'' and ''Final Stand'' are the result of him allowing the likes of [[DeceptiveDisciple Xehanort and Braig]] do as they pleased and [[UltimateJobSecurity repeatedly giving them second chances]], and they could have been stopped had Ansem just learned to put his foot down.

If the ruler had thrown him in dungeon like he should've, Minoru wouldn't have aided the Insurgos in invading the castle, resulting in Hayato's paralysis and the death of the kingdom's hero and Ansem's own close friend, Yamato Kazekiri.



-->'''Braig''': Always the same with you! Always about your pitiful loyalist ideals! I hate that about you most of all! I hated that about the guard, and I certainly hated that about Yamato and especially Kaname! Heck, even Sora is now getting on my nerves with all his talk about his friends being his power! People who fight for those other than themselves don't survive!

* HiddenHeartOfGold: [[spoiler: Patria is a very violent girl who is a jerk to nearly everyone. She even goes as far as suggesting torture for information, or straight up murdering guards. The darkness within her heart and overall behavior has everyone worried. However, her behavior is just a facade, as in reality, an unknown entity has been pumping darkness into her heart for years.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Patria seems to be approaching this territory. There have been mentions of her having mass amounts of inner darkness, along with her suggestion to use a JackBauerInterrogationTechnique, and her HairTriggerTemper and preference for violence as a solution. On top of it all, both Diaval and Pith, the latter her ''own brother'', have declared her to be NotSoDifferent from Maleficent.
