18	The titular protagonist, an asymmetrical humanoid who alternates between depressed and happy with the drop of a hat.
19	----
20	* TheAlcoholic: When she starts acting drunk in "Extinction Party," Moony asks her if she's drunken "again," implying that this would be a regular occurrence for her.
21	* BigNo: She lets out a pretty glitched variation of this when Ulysses informs her she's trapped in The Great Runas' residence.
22	* BodyHorror: During "Power of Potluck", the sad side of ENA is tethered to a sinister looking mask via a fleshy cord that ends with veins embedded in her face.
23	* ColourCodedEmotions: ENA's two main moods are colored; yellow being her happiness/"drunkenness" and blue being her sadness/depressiveness.
24	* DeathSeeker: Her sad side of herself asks other people to "put her out of her misery", and says "good" in response to being told she could die in the maze during "Extinction Party."
25	* DualityMotif: One side of ENA's body is blue and blocky (along with her torso), while the other side is yellow and smooth. With this, her hair and eyes are different for each side: her hair being long and straight for her blue side (which shows her ear) and a bob-cut for her yellow side (which covers her other ear), and her right eye being a diamond-shape and her left eye a semi-circle shape. Her socks are also different lengths, with her right one reaching towards her thigh and her left one reaching towards her ankle instead. When happy, her voice is primarily, but not strictly, more masculine, with her voice being more feminine when sad. She can turn into other forms that are based off her two sides with other dual-color alternatives. Additionally, she’s also a MoodSwinger. [[spoiler:At the end of "Temptation Stairway," the blue half becomes yellow with each successive shot and her hair becomes a fully symmetrical bob cut, though what was once the blue half remains blocky]]. Assuming "Power of Potluck" is [[spoiler:a sequel, ENA's blue half has split off into some form of cheery, floating mask attached to her face by a tendril, while her yellow side becomes progressively more subdued throughout the short. By the end, Sad ENA has fully returned, and is yet again balanced with Happy ENA.]]
26	* TheEeyore: Usually cheerful, she unpredictably flip-flops between being ThePollyanna and this.
27	* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Her sad side speaks with noticeable rhotacism.
28	* FloatingLimbs: None of her limbs are connected to her torso. This is most apparent with her arms and head, where her shoulders float disjointedly during some of her animations in "Extinction Party" and "Temptation Stairway," while her head floats towards the screen independent of her body at the start of her conversation with Ulysses in the latter. It's a bit more ambiguous with her legs, since she wears a skirt and we never see her in any other outfit.
29	* FourFingeredHands: Both her normal and polygonal hands have four fingers.
30	* HyperactiveSprite: A number of her "Idle Animations" feature her waving her arms around in bizarre dance-like states.
31	* HystericalWoman: ENA's sad side gives off the impression, being feminine presenting with the longer hair and in the first two ENA installments exclusively using the feminine voice. When it takes over, ENA's emotions rule over her, causing her to not want to do anything but wail. It also takes very little for ENA to become upset to begin with.
32	* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: In the first two shorts, ENA's voices were carefully separated--her happy side would speak with the masculine voice, while her sad side would speak with the feminine voice. "Temptation Stairway," however, has this changed, as both the masculine and feminine voices speak for either side multiple times throughout the video, possibly [[spoiler:{{foreshadowing}} the disappearance of her blue half at the end]]. This is continued in "Power of Potluck", though [[spoiler:she seems to separate her two sides evenly once again by the end.]]
33	* MoodSwinger: Her mood changes frequently and often. These sides usually switch instantaneously.
34	* NiceGirl: ENA's happy side is a very thoughtful and caring person.
35	* OnlySaneMan: Downplayed, but her happy side will occasionally display a certain lucidity concerning how bizarre the world around her is. Similarly, her "drunk" side outright called Moony out on how the jokes she makes don't make sense and wonders why everything in this world is so weird.
36	* PlanetOfSteves: [[spoiler:"Temptation Stairway" confirms the existence of multiple [=ENAs=], as the episode shows their drowning corpses in the Holy Code, glitching into blank mannequins.]]
37	* ThePollyanna: Her happy self has an incredibly optimistic and positive outlook on life, unlike her sad side.
38	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Her happy side uses a certain predilection towards communicating herself using highly verbose sentences with archaic vocabulary. Sometimes crosses into WordSaladHumor with sentences like "what conspiracies are we cooking on the menu today?"
39	* SplitPersonalityMerge: [[spoiler:At the end of "Temptation Stairway," ENA's blue right side turns yellow. In "Power of Potluck," she instead has a mask sprouting out of her once-again-blue right side and while she remains "happy," she's far more subdued and it's heavily implied that she's still sad inside and is just trying to keep it locked away.]]
40	* StepfordSmiler: "Power of Potluck" has ENA trying to have fun, and during most of her interactions, her happy side is facing other characters. During her [[spoiler:therapy session, the skull faced therapist notes that her happiness seems exaggerated, almost as if she doesn't want to acknowledge her sadness.]]
41	* StressVomit: Her sad side is prone to this as shown in "Auction Day" and "Temptation Stairway."
42	* VagueAge: While she wears an outfit based on a Peruvian school uniform, there is no indication whether she is a teenager or an adult. However, WordOfGod has confirmed that ENA and the rest of the cast don't have specific ages.
43	* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:It's implied that she was a blank mannequin before becoming who she is today.]]

47	!!Moony
48	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/moony.png]]
49	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Lizzie Freeman}}
50
51	->''"Wow! Look at the crowd today, ENA! Everyone's ugly..."''\
52	\
53
54	ENA's best (and only) friend, a girl who is shaped like the moon.
55	----
56	* BigOlEyebrows: She only has one eyebrow, but it is thick enough to still count.
57	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Occasionally lets loose a sentence that will completely baffle even ENA, such as her joke about the Hourglass Dog "having something to say" in "Auction Day," or her remark about "the fisherman [becoming] the fished" in "Extinction Party."
58	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She comments on how ugly a crowd is in "Auction Day," her main concern when rocks are falling from the sky is fear that [[SkewedPriorities they'll cancel the auction]], and even tends to show a bit of impatience with ENA, her best friend. That said, she does seem to value her friendship with ENA, being ecstatic at her gift in "Extinction Party" and outright telling ENA that her being trampled on [[MercyLead gives her an advantage]] in their race in "Temptation Stairway."
59	* TheManInTheMoon: She's a sphere with a crescent moon, and her face is displayed on the crescent moon half like in classic "man in the moon" depictions. Even the object lodged where her left eye should be serves as a ShoutOut to the famous moon of ''Film/ATripToTheMoon''.
60	* NoblewomansLaugh: She makes this laugh in the first episode after making an incomprehensible joke about the Hourglass Dog, and again in the second episode when ENA finds her at the party.
61	* OnlySaneMan: Ultimately subverted. Though she presents herself as the more down-to-earth (no pun intended) spectator to ENA’s bipolar eccentricities, she can be just a susceptible to circular logic and inexplicable mannerisms as her companion.
62	* PretentiousPronunciation: Moony seems to have built up a habit of deliberately mispronouncing ENA's name starting from "Temptation Stairway" onward. First she pronounces it as "EYE-na", then "EH-na", and finally as "Jenna". "Power of Potluck" has her call ENA "EYE-na" once again.
63	* SkewedPriorities: When rocks begin to fall from the sky and start squishing the other auction-goers, she's more upset that it means they'll cancel the auction.
64	* SwissArmyAppendage: The hole in her grey side has a different object slotted into it in each of her outings, such as a rock prism in "Auction Day," a mannequin limb at the start of "Temptation Stairway," and a shepherd's crook at the end of the same. We see the hole unoccupied while she's at home in "Extinction Party."
65	* WeightWoe: She claims that [[spoiler:her wish to The Great Runas in "Temptation Stairway" was "to be thinner." This is apparently what caused her transformation after entering the Dead God Graveyard]].

71	!!The new ENA
72	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d7c36225_aef7_47f6_b8e7_27c7edd2ea6a.png]]

76	\
77
78	Another ENA who takes the role of the protagonist in ''Dream BBQ''.
79	----
80	* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: She serves as the protagonist in ''Dream BBQ''. This is probably because [[spoiler:the previous ENA was trapped in The Great Runas at the end of Temptation Stairway with seemingly no way out until the next festival in another [unintelligible] years.]] [[note]] That's a ''lot!''[[/note]]
81	* ColourCodedEmotions: Like the previous one, this ENA's emotions are a certain color for each side: red means her "Salesperson" side and pale blue + yellow is her "Meanie" side.
82	* DualityMotif: Though she has three colors rather than two, she is still split into two parts of her: half of her face and body is red and smooth, and the other is divided between pale blue and yellow together and blocky (additionally, her torso being red and blocky). With this, her eyes are different shapes, being both triangles facing up and down, her socks being different lengths with one longer and the other shorter like S1 ENA, along with her masculine voice being associated on her left side and feminine for the right. All of this represents the two moods she swaps between.
83	* FingerlessHands: Well, more like ''hand''. Her left hand only has her thumb, making it look like she's wearing a mitten.
84	* FloatingLimbs: To an even more extreme degree than her predecessor, since she lacks a neck and her torso and pelvis are detached.
85	* FourFingeredHands: This time, however, it's only her right hand (which is still polygonal).
86	* MoodSwinger: Like the original ENA, she switches between two personalities, "Salesperson" and "Meanie".

95	A strange Japanese man wearing a frog suit. Serves as the secondary protagonist of ''Dream BBQ''.
96	----
97	* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Replaces Moony as the secondary protagonist of Season 2.
98	* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Moony, especially in his art style. While Moony was a 2D character in terms of animation, this guy is a low polygonal being.
99	* FrogMen: Wears a frog suit.
100	* ThemeNaming: Just like Moony, his name ends with a "y."

114	* NonStandardCharacterDesign: When it debuted in ''Auction Day'', it was the only 3D character, with everyone else being 2D sprites. Subverted later on, when more 3D characters began appearing.

145	----
146	* DeathFromAbove: Some are crushed by falling rain rocks, possibly fatally.
147	* MeaningfulName: Their name comes from them being tombstones with heads on them.
148	* ShoutOut:
149	** They are literal Music/TalkingHeads.
150	** Its design is seemingly inspired by the works of Zdzisław Beksiński, a Polish dystopian/surreaelist artist.

165	----
166	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He is a keeper (a guard) and that's what he's credited as.
167	* LivingStatue: He is a sentient statue head with legs.
168	* ShoutOut:
169	** The colors of the legs match the Creator/{{Microsoft}} 2012 logo, the Platform/MicrosoftWindows 3.1-7 logos, and the Website/{{Google}} logo. The pop-up windows that appear around it reference Windows 95.
170	** The head is clearly Michelangelo's statue ''David''. The use of the ''David'' head could also be a nod to the cover art of [[Music/{{Vektroid}} Floral Shoppe]], which has become iconic as a representation of the {{Vaporwave}} music genre.
171	* SyntheticVoiceActor: His voice was created using Microsoft's Software Automatic Mouth (SAM) speech synthesizer.

184	A mime who helps[[note]]her spoken dialogue is actually a warning[[/note]] ENA through the [=3D=] maze. She communicates through "the body language of the gods", which in practice means her hands are mouths.
185	----
186	* BilingualBonus: Anyone who can understand Korean can tell that she's being ''very'' rude and that the English subtitles [[TranslationWithAnAgenda don't match what she's actually saying.]]
187	* GratuitousForeignLanguage: She speaks Korean with English subtitles. Except, the subtitles are blatantly wrong.
188	* HandPuppet: She appears to be wearing one on each hand, which she speaks out of.
189	* PrecisionFStrike: She calls ENA a "stuffy fuck" in Korean.
190	* ShoutOut: She partially resembles the mimes from VideoGame/{{Runescape}}. The pole she's holding might also be a reference to the Japanese stage play ''Bō Shibari'' (''"Tied to a Pole"'').
191	* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Her mask resembles a ''bune'' mask, which is used in traditional Korean theatre.

205	----
206	* GrumpyOldMan: Although his age is unknown, he acts like a grumpy old man who wants privacy and is annoyed at anyone who tries to talk to him.
207	* LivingPolyhedron: He's more accurately a living dodecahedron.
208	* LivingToys: He is a living Rubik's cube.
209	* MeaningfulName: Named after the Rubik's cube, can turn into a Rubik's cube.
210	* ShoutOut: His name and design are based on Rubik's cubes.

227	* GratuitousForeignLanguage: He speaks Japanese with English subtitles. Except, the subtitles are blatantly wrong.
228	* NecktieHeadband: Wears one. Combined with his swirly BlushStickers and overall design, he looks like a stereotypical Japanese {{Salaryman}} [[DrunkenGlow who's had a bit to drink]] after work.

238	[[caption-width-right:250:The door to The Great Runas's residence atop its transportation device]]
239
240	A well-known, god-like entity capable of granting wishes. The entity itself is [[TheGhost never seen]], only the entrance to its residence.
241	----
242	* ArcSymbol: The design on the door, resembling a pair of black, empty eyes streaming with tears, seems to represent the Great Runas and appears multiple times throughout its residence.
243	* CelestialBody: The gate seems to have some kind of banner or cape that contains a night sky full of stars.
244	* EldritchLocation: Its residence includes the Stairway Void, Mannequin Expanse, Hourglass Meadow, Desert, and Dead God Graveyard. All of these areas are distinct from each other, following little rhyme or reason, and are accessed non-linearly by passing through the Holy Code. Imagine wandering through all the old [[Platform/MicrosoftWindows Windows]] screensavers and that'll basically sum up the experience.
245	* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Implied by Moony's comment, described below.
246	* TheGhost: Mentioned but is never seen. Instead, its door and transportation stand in for it. Moony apparently met the Great Runas to get her wish granted but apparently it "doesn't look all that handsome in person."
247	* MeaningfulName: Runas, as in "run as", a Windows command that allow users to run programs with different permissions than their current login.
248	* ShoutOut:
249	** Its design is heavily inspired by the works of Zdzisław Beksiński, a Polish dystopian/surreaelist artist.
250	** Its concept is inspired by ''El Señor de los Milagros'', a painting that survived an earthquake in Lima, Peru in 1655. It is said to grant wishes to those who reach to him and, during October, a procession is held where the painting is taken through the streets of Lima on a pedestal decorated with flowers, similar to the Runas' transportation device. The Runas' ArcSymbol also matches the representation of ''El Señor de los Milagros'' as a crying figure.
251	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Although it never appears, it drives the plot of "Temptation Stairway", as the episode focuses on ENA and Moony going to its realm to be granted a wish from it.
252	* TheTragicRose: The bipedal vehicle has rose vines wrapped around it, with flowers blooming. Considering the theme of "desires never being fulfilled", they could symbolize the futility of achieving the climb and getting your wish granted.

260	Pale humanoid figures that look like [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin artist mannequins.]] They seem animate and maybe even alive.
261	----
262	* TheBlank: Due to being mannequins, they have no face.
263	* DespairEventHorizon: Many of them, found in the Mannequin Expanse, are in a PoseOfSupplication and hitting the floor in seeming despair. This mirrors Ulysses' gesture from his interaction, where he says, "You will fail like the rest of them", implying that these mannequins either failed to reach the Great Runas or had their wishes granted but [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor weren't gratified by it.]]
264	* LivingStatue: While not exactly statues, they are sentient mannequins.
265	* ShoutOut: The dressed mannequin found in the Great Runas' Stairway Void resembles the Nopperabou Witches from VideoGame/YumeNikki.
266	* UncannyValley: By nature of being mannequins, of course. The way that they move like they're being puppeted despite the implication that they're not inanimate and the fact that some of them are animated at a lower FPS adds to this.

280	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Very minor. A more sadistic side is implied when he says he'd rather not climb the Great Runas because it's fun watching the bodies fall.
281	* BrokenRecord: Repeats words before continuing his sentence.
282	* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Performs rapid-fire kicks to snap ENA out of a mental breakdown.
283	* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: Averted. He wheezes, stutters, and drops his tone in the middle of sentences.
284	* ShoutOut: Brick Frog's voice is an audible nod to [[Franchise/TheMuppets Kermit the Frog,]] and the frog parts of its body visually resemble [[VideoGame/VibRibbon Vibri.]]
285	* StealthPun: Brick Frog was named for the indentation on the side of a brick or the tool used to make it.

301	* LargeHam: Starts out speaking a normal conversation and then: TURRÓN!
302	* ShoutOut:
303	** He re-enacts a part of Music/TalkingHeads' Music/OnceInALifeTime music video.
304	** The unicycle-riding person juggling Merchant's masks before he materialized is based off of the 1986 "juggler demo" for the [[Platform/{{Amiga}} Commodore Amiga line of computers.]]
305	** His mask resembles Peruvian Waq'ollos, which are often worn to represent the Qhapaq Q'olla merchant character. Regarding his overall appearance, he seems to have taken inspiration from the play ''The Neutral Mask On The Surface Of Skin''.
306	** His appearance in the "New ENA Merch from Fangamer" promo resembles the turrón ads from ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho''.
307	** The turrón he sells is a reference to the Turrón de Doña Pepa that's usually sold during the October celebration of ''El Señor de los Milagros'', which is what the Great Runas is based on.

321	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Implicitly warns ENA of this.
322	-->''"But heed this warning: desires are never fulfilled nor quenched. You will fail like the rest of them."''
323	* BrokenRecord: Tends to repeat phrases a few times before continuing his explanation.
324	* ElectronicSpeechImpediment: His voices glitch out, stutter, and are accompanied by an electronic buzz.
325	* EyeMotifs: Despite his eyes always being shut, as mentioned below, he has an eye theme in how his clothing buttons are designed.
326	* EyesAlwaysShut: His eyes are always shut, which adds to his uncanniness.
327	* FloatingLimbs: He has no arms, only floating hands/gloves.
328	* ShoutOut:
329	** His [[VoiceOfTheLegion speech]] [[BrokenRecord patterns]] is a send-up to [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} The Master]].
330	** A Twitch stream confirmed that his design was based on [[WesternAnimation/Shrek1 Lord Farquaad]].
331	** Like a lot of characters, he re-enacts a part of Music/TalkingHeads' Music/OnceInALifeTime music video, in his case while he's telling ENA that she'll fail to reach the Great Runas.
332	** One of the images that appear in his hands is the Renaissance painting ''Inferno'' by Pieter Huys.
333	* SpeaksInBinary: Informs ENA that the next celebration is in 00110001 00110000 00110000 00110000 00110000[[labelnote:translation]]10,000[[/labelnote]] years.

335	* SuddenlyShouting: He keeps a relatively conversational tone until ENA enters the Holy Code, at which he gutturally yells, "Punishment is imminent!"
336	* UncannyValley: Ulysses is intentionally uncanny and creepy. He has a human-like, low-poly rendered face, not helped by his erratic body movement and [[ElectronicSpeechImpediment stilted, constantly shifting speech.]]
337	* UnmovingPlaid: His gloves. By default, they have the texture of an unmoving blue sky with clouds, although the image can change seemingly at will.

350	A cat-like creature with the ability to morph into a low-poly tank who lives in a dome full of Hourglass Dogs. She apparently knows The Great Runas and gives away access to those she views as worthy of meeting the entity.
351	----
352	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The Shepherd initially doesn't want anything to do with ENA, but after ENA gives her the turrón that she picked up from the merchant, she pays her back with a blood ID and instructions on where to go next.
353	* DefrostingIceQueen: At first, she's outright hostile towards ENA, even whacking her a few times with her crook (which doesn't do much of anything). She immediately changes her tune, however, once ENA gives her the turrón.
354	* EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep: She is simply referred to as The Shepherd in the credits. Though neither she nor ENA refer to herself as such.
355	* GratuitousForeignLanguage: She speaks in Russian with English subtitles.
356	* MeaningfulName: While it's not sheep that she's looking over, what she does seem to be shepherding are Hourglass Dogs.
357	* ShoutOut:
358	** She re-enacts a part of Music/TalkingHeads' Music/OnceInALifeTime music video.
359	** Her design is based on the painting [[https://flaglerlive.com/wp-content/uploads/picassos-cat.jpg Picasso's Cat]].
360	** Her tank resembles the one from the ''[=ZoneOut=]'' video game found in the [=TempleOS=] operating system.
361	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Judging by her reaction, she seems to ''really'' like turróns.
362	* VoluntaryShapeshifter: She seems to have the ability to transform into a low-poly tank. Though it's not clear if she resides in the tank or if she literally becomes the tank.

377	Mariya is the prismatic little entity being held by Gabo. They act as a pair of guardians to the Great Runas and stop ENA for identification.
378	----
379	* BilingualBonus: Anyone who can understand Japanese can tell that Mariya is being ''very'' rude. Like, even worse than her tone implies.
380	* FunnyAfro: Gabo wears a green afro wig.
381	* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Mariya speaks Japanese with a [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseDialects Kansai accent]], accompanied by English subtitles.
382	* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: Gabo speaks in heavily accented English and uses nonsensical phrases.
383	* LosingYourHead: Mariya is just a head without a body sitting on a tray carried by Gabo. She can still talk and jump up and down a bit, though.
384	* ShoutOut:
385	** Gabo's line "drink the blood and smoke the banana" is a nod to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjCu-pZxp4k&t=4650s the conversation with Dracula]] in ''VideoGame/SpaceFuneral''.
386	** The way Gabo is holding Mariya on platter might be a reference to Guido Reni's painting ''Salome Bearing the Head of St. John the Baptist''.

399	----
400	* FriendlyPlayfulDolphin: He's a floating pink dolphin and an all-around NiceGuy.
401	* NiceGuy: He's one of the only characters to be alarmed by ENA's mood swings, even calling off "the interview" out of concern for her mental well-being.
402	* OrphanedSetup: Phindoll begins telling a joke in "Temptation Stairway" about why camel aren't pro-wrestlers, but he suddenly spasms and yells, missing the punchline... [[SubvertedTrope until he reveals that was the punchline.]]
403	* PungeonMaster: Literally his first line (quote above) is him making several math-related puns.
404	* ShoutOut: A possible one to ''Fluid'', a [[Platform/{{Playstation}} PS1]] music game where you control a dolphin.
405	* SignificantAnagram: His name is an anagram of "dolphin" with an extra "L".
406	* VocalDissonance: He's a cute pink dolphin but has the voice of a TotallyRadical SurferDude.

432
433	A floating blue mask that's tethered to ENA's sad side, seemingly replacing it for the episode.
434	----
435	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The mask is even more enthusiastic than ENA's happy side, and it understands the way the people in the house have fun. However, ENA's happy side is only confused by everything she encounters. Only when she talks about it to the Therapist does she reach some kind of understanding and allow herself to emote naturally, which destroys the mask. This mirrors the neurodivergent practice of detachment and masking emotions, where one imitates certain mannerisms despite not understanding them the way allistic people would, as well as masking depression.
436	* GenkiGirl: Very excited and fascinated by the contents of the house.
437	* SanitySlippage: It looks jittery and unstable, visibly cracking when meeting the Therapist, implying that it can no longer suppress ENA's sad side. This is also the only time it expresses anything negative.
438	-->''"Abysmal! Tastes like I'm in a real cosmic stew!"''
439	* TheSymbiote: It's attached to ENA's face via a fleshy cord, and literally drags her through the building in search of fun throughout the episode.
440	* VisualPun: It's literally masking ENA's depressive moodswings by covering her sad side. Also when ENA destroys the mask at the end: it literally cracked.

450	A rabbit-like lady who helps ENA find the First Act. She speaks using chiptune songs instead of a voice.
451	----
452	* AllThereInTheManual: Since she has no voice actor, her name was only revealed in the soundtrack by the title of her introductory song.
453	* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Her paws are bare underneath her dress.
454	* BlackBeadEyes: Her expression temporarily shifts to this to show how unimpressed she is with ENA.
455	* FloatingLimbs: More like Floating Body Sections. She has visible arms and legs, but her body is cut in half vertically, separating her face and the front of her body from the back. Each half has one arm and one leg, so they're still technically detached and floating. Her neck is also detached from her shoulders.
456	* MadeOfBologna: Her cross-section shows that she's solid red on the inside, with strange "O"-shaped bones.
457	* MassiveNumberedSiblings: She refers to her six children(?) as ENA's "siblings" in another example of this series' [[MindScrew nonsensical dialogue]].
458	* RubberHoseLimbs: Her arms are animated this way.
459	* UncannyValley: Her arms are too long for her body and her face is detailed in a way the rest of her is not. There's also the way the seperate halves of her move asynchronously.
460	* WhiteGloves: She wears these, which help her hands stand out against the dark hallway.

470	Blue women with their upper arms and torsos hanging out from where they're embedded in a brick wall. They preclude the path to the Second Act. Instead of a voice, they "speak" by projecting a film reel of lips out their ears, which is accompanied by a rhythmic clattering noise.
471	----
472	* CryingARiver: The statues cry so much that even with a large drain in the floor, the room is rather flooded.
473	* ExoticEyeDesigns: The second head's eyes look like a film reel. When she's talking, her eyes glow and spin.
474	* NestedMouths: Her speech is three layers deep. The first head silently cries. The second head, which comes out of the first head's mouth, has projector screens for eyes. Those screens project the image of lips, and ''those'' are what talk.

486	----
487	* TheDividual: They're two individuals but they seem to either speak at the same time or use the same VoiceGrunting. Either way, they're bundled together and treated as one entity, much like how Act III & IV are both together.

502	* BodyOfBodies: He is a skull made of smaller skulls. His hand, the only other part of him that we see, is also made of skulls.
503	* EpiphanyTherapy: He helps ENA achieve one by getting her to express herself naturally and telling her that fun can be found in little moments and not necessarily in how she conforms with other people.
