History Fanfic / YouWithMe

* WouldntHurtAChild: Stretch wouldn't back when he was alive and is genuinely upset when he thinks that his brothers would.

** During their lives, Casper would sometimes call Stinkie "Uncle Sammy" while Stretch would just call him "Sammy".
** Stinkie and Fatso used to fondly (and half-sarcastically) call Stretch "Fearless Leader" when they were alive, to the point where it's engraved into his pocket watch.
* AloofBigBrother: Stretch had become one prior to coming to Whipstaff. He never called or wrote to his brothers and they rarely saw him outside of weddings and funerals.

* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: In contrast to [[SharpDressedMan Stretch]], Stinkie didn't exactly have much in the way of fashion sense when he was alive. Two words: Yellow. Plaid. Stretch remarks that he looks like a train jumper in one of the memories while Kat, upon finding the suit in the attic, wonders if one of the [[=McFaddens=]] was color-blind.

** Alistair, Casper's grandfather, was one of these to Casper's uncles when he was still alive. Once they start recovering their memories of him, Stinkie and Fatso even recall a time where he broke Stretch's nose.

* AndIMustScream: Stephen has had to relive the [[=McFadden=]] tragedy in an endless loop ever since Stretch died, with him also being perfectly aware of how Stretch has devolved into being an AbusiveParent to Casper following them meeting again as ghosts.

** Casper's grandfather was one of these to Casper's uncles when he was still alive. Once they start recovering their memories of him, Stinkie and Fatso even recall a time where he broke Stretch's nose.

* AnimalMotifs: Before he starts [[DefrostingIceKing defrosting]], his lean frame, beak-like nose, fondness for black suits, and tendency to lurk causes Stretch to be frequently likened to a vulture.

* DefrostingIceKing: In contrast to Stinkie and Fatso, who came to Whipstaff to look after Casper following J.T. going to Europe, Stretch came with the intention of looking after the estate and its financials. He avoided Casper whenever possible, had a reunion with [[OneTrueLove Nell]] that wass quite chilly on his part, and had long since become an AloofBigBrother to his siblings. He gets better before becoming even worse as a ghost.

* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: In contrast to [[SharpDressedMan Stretch]], Stinkie didn't exactly have much in the way of fashion sense when he was alive. Two words: Yellow. Plaid.

* BigFun: Fatso was this when he was alive, being a NiceGuy who was just as rotund as he is as a ghost.

* TookALevelInJerkass: As the events in the Memory House play out, it becomes abundantly clear that each member of the Ghostly Trio changed for the worst when they became ghosts. Undoing this is the crux of their CharacterDevelopment.

* WhatTheHellHero: Fatso and Stinkie were ''not'' happy with Stretch after the tin soldier incident and made sure to let their older brother know.

'''Fatso:''' Don't always need fists ta' hurt a kid.

* TranquilFury: Dr. Harvey practically ''oozes'' this trope when confronting Stretch after Stinkie and Fatso told him about Stretch destroying all of Casper's pictures of J.T..

* AnimalMotifs: Before he starts [[DefrostingIceKing defrosting]], his lean frame, beak-like nose, fondness for black suits, and tendency to lurk in photographs causes Stretch to be frequently likened to a vulture.

* DefrostingIceKing: In contrast to Stinkie and Fatso, who came to Whipstaff to look after Casper following J.T. going to Europe, Stretch came with the intention of looking after the estate and its financials. He avoided Casper whenever possible, has a reunion with [[OneTrueLove Nell]] that's quite chilly on his part, and had long since become an AloofBigBrother to his siblings. He gets better before becoming even worse as a ghost.

* AmnesiacResonance: Despite suffering from GhostAmnesia, the [=McFadden=] ghosts know that they're related, as well as ''how'' they're related, by sheer instinct. Stinkie, who was a botany professor when he was alive, is also able to instantly recognize the scientific name for stinking clover.

* GreenEyedMonster: The animosity between J.T. and Stretch started because of the former's jealously of the latter's position as the eldest son.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Whatever happened to the [=McFadden=] family that caused Whipstaff to fall into the condition it's in at the beginning of ''Film/{{Casper}}'' wasn't pretty, with Stephen even calling the whole thing a tragedy despite only being able to retain memories as he experiences them inside the Memory House.

* TookALevelInJerkass: As the events in the Memory House play out, it becomes abundantly clear that each member of the Ghostly Trio changed for the worst when they died and became ghosts. Undoing this is the crux of their CharacterDevelopment.

** While the full name of Whipstaff's former housekeeper is Penelope, nobody has called her that yet, instead referring to her as either "Nell" or "Miss Danvers".

* ThePromise: Kat makes one to Casper's father, swearing that she'll help his son remember him. [[spoiler: While she's initially referring to J.T., she reluctantly switches it to Stretch upon finding out about his role as Casper's ParentalSubstitute.]]

* OriginalCharacter: Penelope "Nell" Danvers is completely unique to ''You With Me''. She was Whipstaff's housekeeper back when the [=McFaddens=] were alive, the closest thing Casper had to a mother after Emily's death, and, by [[LivingMemory Stephen]]'s own admission, the only woman that Stretch ever loved.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Even before they make any headway in regaining their memories (and, with them, their living selves' kindness), Stinkie and Fatso are incredibly upset and unsettled by Stretch burning the photos of J.T. that Casper and Kat had recovered.

** While the full name of Whipstaff's former housekeeper is Penelope, nobody has called her that yet, instead referring to her as either "Nell" (the Ghostly Trio) or "Miss Danvers" (Casper).

** While her full name is Penelope, nobody has called that yet, instead referring to her as "Nell."

* OriginalCharacter: Penelope "Nell" Danvers was created for the fic. She was Whipstaff's housekeeper back when the [=McFaddens=] were alive, the closest thing Casper had to a mother after Emily's death, and, by [[LivingMemory Stephen]]'s own admission, the only woman that Stretch ever loved.

* LackOfEmpathy: While he hasn't had much screen time yet, this seems to be the case with J.T.. Not only does he use his ''wife's funeral'' as a networking opportunity (ignoring his son to do so), a later chapter reveals that [[spoiler: he kept his father's ring even though it scarred Stretch when he was a child]].

** While the Ghostly Trio ''are'' given names in the movie ("Stretch," "Stinkie," and "Fatso"), they're almost certainly aliases and their original names are never revealed. In chapter four, Amelia reveals their real names: "Stephen" (Stretch), "Samuel" (Stinkie), and "Franklin" (Fatso).
