28	* NervousWreck: Well, Jareth [[LaserGuidedAmnesia did his best]] to avert this, but [[spoiler:the Erlkönig]]'s visit left its mark.
29	* SoapOperaRapidAgingSyndrome: He is inexplicably five or so years older than in his movie was (probably so he can get into trouble all on his own now).

54	----
55	* AbusiveParents: He is ''still'' the bane of his son's existence and source of most of his emotional problems. He told James in ''{{canon}}'' that he should better have drowned than be saved by a pirate.
56	* PosthumousCharacter: The guy is '''dead'''. In a comic where NobodyCanDie.
57	* TheScrappy: Why he is DeaderThanDead in-universe. We hate his guts, and every info / flashback about him makes the fans loathe him more.

(Yes. He made all four main cast members Roommates opposed to the former two people in one apartment / professional {{Drop In Character}}s arrangement.)

257	* MagicFeather: Subverted. He tries to give the cast the customary "gifts" but they are quite unimpressed.
258	* TheManBehindTheCurtain: Still the humbug hopelessly outclassed by the whole main cast.
259	* PhonyPsychic: Oh boy. Not only because the guy was a phony wizard, but also he is the cold reader and manipulator of the Ozian army later. [[spoiler:He is no match for Erik.]]

268	* CallingTheOldManOut: She doesn't take shit from Glinda.
269	* [[PopculturalOsmosisFailure Pop-Cultural OZmosis Failure]]: Canonically she was always (since book two) part of the Oz stories... but ask anybody if they know about her. In-universe this even gets a nice lampshade by James pointing out that he misses some important subtext, and Ariel telling him not to worry about it. Out of universe just count all the "Who is Ozma?" comments on that page.
270	* PrincessesRule: She is the true ruler of Oz.

283	----
284	* AmbiguousGender: His/her AuthorAvatar. [[WordOfGod The Artist]] goes so far to ignore the guesses... the fans stand mostly on the "who cares?" side.
285	* AuthorAvatar: (S)he got magic sneezed into the comic once... she didn't stay long. See also GenreSavvy.
286	* CrypticConversation: (S)he tends to answer reader questions this way. Maybe because (s)he doesn't want to spoil or influence the EpilepticTree planting. (S)he also posted some rather cryptic polls ([[http://asherhyder.deviantart.com/journal/poll/3624370/ Q: "When?" A: "Sooner" / "Later"]]) with no further explanation.
287	* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: At least (s)he isn't perfectly protected as Crowley occasionally steals his/her beer.
288	* GenreSavvy: Averted RageAgainstTheAuthor by running before the characters realized who (s)he is.
