44	->''"Frote trains a pack of war mutts for the militia commander. He has numerous animals. I suggested to butcher one to make its brothers quarrel over the meat but he said that is not how to train. It would work."''

46	The other miner.
47	----

50	%%* OddFriendship: Again, with Exi, the comparatively more sane and kind cat-lover.

66
67	The butcher/chief medical dwarf.
68	----
69	%%* AxCrazy
70	* BackAlleyDoctor: As a butcher, she's the closest thing the initial dregs had to a medic.
71	* MadDoctor: She quickly develops a liking to the idea of being able to cut animals up and put dwarves back together. She also has some rather strange ideas of how hair transplants might work.
72
73	!Hyte
74	[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bravemule_hyte.png]]

96	->''"I chose a blade iron and a burdened hilt. I am eager to train."''
97
98	A dreg who survived the massacre prior to Bravemule's foundation, he serves first under Squib, and then as Militia Commander.
99	----
100	* AFatherToHisMen: He never leads his dwarves into fights he doesn't think they can win (and is quick to order a retreat if a fight turns sour to save both himself and those under his command,) and seems to care for dreg and clod alike at least while they're alive, since anyone who gets injured he ''orders'' to seek medical attention.
101	* TotalPartyKill: He tries to avert this when the "war elves" return for another round of sieging. [[spoiler:When locked outside, he has no choice but try to fight against Atrix's forces. Neither he or any warriors in the field with him survive.]]

104	[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bravemule_kou.jpg]]
105	->''"Drowning fire that murders the crop murders the fire, therefrom I surmise drowning the seeds would unmurder the crop."''
106
107	A supposed veteran dreg. She serves as the primary planter for Matul Remrit, in spite of her lack of farming knowledge.
108	----
109	* MilesGloriosus: For three planned raids, she made all kinds of boasts about how she was going to wreck elf shit. Three for three, she got too sloshed to join in raids. [[spoiler: It's implied the raid-turned-ambush that wiped out most of the dregs was slept through the same way.]]
110	* RightForTheWrongReasons: See her quote.
111
112	!Sorc
113	[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bravemule_sorc.jpg]]
114	->''"I do not understand the shield."''
115
116	A dreg who serves as a Militia Captain for Bravemule.
117	----
118	* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler: Accidently kills Hog with a severe head injury when he throws his shield at her during a sparring match.]]
119	* CombatPragmatist: More than willing to use a shield offensively, along with his sword. He's also more than willing to try and beat Squib by ganging up on her with Hog in a sparring match.
120	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: He and Lesh sacrifice themselves to buy time for the rest of the militia to escape Atrix's cavalry... which turns into a {{SenselessSacrifice}} when all but two soldiers are killed anyway.]]
121
122	!Yont
123	[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bravemule_yont.jpg]]
124	->''"Burrow is overgrown with plants. I collected ten sweet pod seed from delicate containers. A precise action in an opportune moment is required to release the seed. A hurried hand and nothing is obtained."''
125
126	Seems to be a dreg herbalist, and deeply traditionally minded.
127	----
128	* [[{{NoTrueScotsman}} No True Dreg]]: She despises what Matul Remrit becomes when it tries to grow by accepting clods exiled/migrating from Dreadlion.
129	* RevengeByProxy: [[spoiler:It appears she releases a berserk Kalu to try and force the surviving population back on the road, and kill those she feels are traitors to the name "dreg" in the process, without getting her own hands dirty.]]
130
131	!Timd
132	[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bravemule_timd.jpg]]
133	->''"I snoozed with deer creature on region one grass. If dreg snoozed on grass it would think "What magnificent sky fires at night! I should snooze on grass and not on bed."''
134
135	A dreg hunter who later serves as sheriff.
136	----
137	* Understatement: He beat three yaks to death - breaking a crossbow in the process - because he was ''"flustered."''
138
139	!Deon
140	[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bravemule_deon.jpg]]
141	->''"The commander notified though we have taken up sword and mail we are still clods. It does not matter. We have ale privilege. I would abide worse names to keep ale privilege."''
142
143	A clod-turned dreg who joins the militia out of desire for booze and an apparent eagerness to fight.
144	----
145	* BloodKnight: He has an extreme desire to fight based on his entries.
146	* SpiritedCompetitor: Overlapping some with {{BloodKnight}}, He seems to be a very competitive dwarf in his military endeavors, wanting to be the first among the militia-clods to accomplish something noteworthy.
147	* TheRival: Appears to consider Trumpet to be his, based on his complaints of the war mule's alleged kill-stealing in Reast's War Legends.
148
149	!Flie
150	[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bravemule_flie.jpg]]
151	A clod-turned-dreg who joins the militia for both the perks and to protect others.
152	----
153	* ActualPacifist: He declares himself to be a "peacer", their term for pacifists, before joining the militia. He even decides death is preferable to fighting or killing even in self-defense [[spoiler: and, as a result, is killed by a harpy not long after enlistment.]]
154	* GoodIsNotSoft: He seems to at least realize that sometimes others have to die so that his loved ones may live, and joined the militia as a result.
155	%%* Martial Pacifist: Tries to become one.
156
157
158	[[/folder]]
159
160	[[folder:The "War Elves"]]
161
162	A contingent of human soldiers/mercenaries sent to assault Bravemule, lead initially by their apparent commander Serus, and then by the Hammerwoman Atrix.
163	----
164	* VillainHasAPoint: The reason the "war elves" are besieging Bravemule in the first place is because Behem murdered one of their caravans.
165
166	!Serus
167	[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bravemule_serus.png]]
168	->''"I wish we had not fatally beaten the Milker close to camp, but a year has almost passed and we had a good time about it then."''
169	----
170	* BadBoss: He clearly doesn't care much for his men, since Hein regularly beats his soldiers without his orders.
171	* QuicklyDemotedLeader: Following the miraculous and spontaneous appearance of Atrix's "qualifications".
172
173	!Atrix
174
175	->''"I have sudden and immense respect for Atrix, where before there was none."''
176	----
177	%% * ActionGirl
178	%% * CurbstompBattle: On both ends.
179	* GirlsWithMoustaches: Presumably made from some treebark and some spare time.
180	* LuredIntoATrap: [[spoiler: Trame allows Atrix to lead her troops straight into two ambushes that appear to cost her at least three men that she and her troops otherwise crush easily (what with there only being three trained soldiers left by that point - Timd, who actually knew how to use his crossbow as a hunter, and the only two survivors of the militia, Japa and Gheim.) And then they get jumped by a good-sized group of demons.]]
181	* MadeOfIron: Very few people can tank getting two crossbow bolts lodged in their upper bodies and/or shoulders without collapsing from pain (usually due to the resultant bone damage), never mind still having full use of both arms after.
182
183	!Hein
184	-> "Hein beat a young Soldier, committing all manner of violence and brutality, and destroyed many of the teeth."
185
186	A subordinate of Serus who challenges him to a moustache duel, and loses rather quickly.
187	----
188	* Jerkass: When he's even slightly grouchy, he physically takes it out on younger troops.
189	* TheBrute: Strongly implied to be one of the more physically mighty members of the human force, being able to beat the crap out of/regularly picks fights with multiple members of his unit when irritable.
