| 8 | |
| 9 | The spirit of winter. Jack Frost is a teenage hellion who enjoys creating mischief and has no interest in being bound by rules or obligations; he just wants to spread his winter magic for the sake of fun, but also wants to be believed in. |
| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | * AllLovingHero: Jack loves children, would never hurt them, and tries to protect them as much as he can. Even though the Guardians left him alone for so long, he is ready to help Tooth when her fairies are kidnapped. For all of his desire to be believed in and not to be alone, he doesn't take Pitch's WeCanRuleTogether offer, because he doesn't want to scare children. It is also implied that he never wished to hurt Pitch either, and was still sorry for him in the end. |
| 12 | * AndIMustScream: [[DownplayedTrope Not as bad as some other examples]], considering he's free to roam the Earth and can play with kids even while they don't see him. Still, people hardly know he even exists; they can't see or hear him, they pass right through him, and while he has minimal contact with some of the Guardians, he doesn't have friends among spirits either. Jack has lived like this for 300 years. |
| 13 | * AntiHero: He's brave and heroic at heart, but also an incorrigible trickster who prefers to work alone. |
| 14 | -->'''Jack:''' Am I on the Naughty List?\ |
| 15 | '''Santa:''' ''On'' the Naughty List? [[YouNoTakeCandle You hold record]]. |
| 16 | * ArtInitiatesLife: Jack can make realistic but ghostly animals out of doodles in condensed mist on a window, as shown when he made a bunny to keep Jamie's belief active. |
| 17 | * AudienceSurrogate: Jack is introduced to the workings and purposes of the Guardians as the film goes on, particularly when he's informed about what each Guardian "protects". |
| 18 | * BadassAdorable: The PrettyBoy with considerable [[AnIcePerson ice powers]] (next to Sandy, he has the most offensive power among the Guardians) and the ability to [[FunPersonified inspire laughter]] that banishes fear and darkness. |
| 19 | * BeneathTheMask: Jack is apparently cheerful and always tries to make people have fun. However, he is a lonely soul full of self-doubt and longing to be believed in and to belong to a place he could call home. |
| 20 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He's usually nice, enjoying winter games, but don't piss him off, or chances are you'll end up a frozen popsicle. |
| 21 | * BigBrotherInstinct: |
| 22 | ** Jack is protective of every child in the story. |
| 23 | ** [[spoiler:When Jack was still human, he and his sister were playing on a frozen lake. When the ice started to crack beneath his sister's feet, Jack used his staff to swap his position with hers, saving her, but also caused him to fall into the lake himself and drown. It is even said that his best memories are with his sister.]] |
| 24 | * BlitheSpirit: Jack is a newcomer who helps the Guardians reconnect with children. |
| 25 | * BlueIsHeroic: Jack wears a blue hoodie and while he's a troublemaker, he tries his best to help the children of the world. |
| 26 | * BlueMeansCold: JackFrost wears a navy blue hoodie and has ice powers. |
| 27 | * CharacterDevelopment: He goes from an incorrigible, lonely trickster who prefers having fun rather than being a Guardian to a more responsible, brave person (although he is still a trickster). |
| 28 | * CharacterTic: Jack squints his eyes when he's angry and puts on his hood and hides his hands in his hoodie pocket when he is upset. |
| 29 | * ChickMagnet: Tooth and her Mini-Fairies all have crushes on him. |
| 30 | * ColorMotif: His signature color is blue as BlueMeansCold and he is AnIcePerson. |
| 31 | * DeadpanSnarker: Jack has a sardonic, wisecracking sense of humor. |
| 32 | * ElementalHairColors: He has silvery-white hair in spikes and is AnIcePerson. |
| 33 | * EyeColourChange: [[spoiler:He used to have brown eyes when he was human. When he dies and gains ice magic, they turn blue.]] |
| 34 | * {{Flight}}: Jack is able to fly by riding the wind. He floats like a snowflake and propels himself with wind to fly faster. |
| 35 | * FriendToAllChildren: In the film, he has the closest relationship to children and enjoys spending time with them, even if they can't see him. |
| 36 | * FunPersonified: Is very playful and chipper, even compared to the other Guardians--including North i.e.: Santa. [[spoiler:Eventually, it turns out that "fun" is his center.]] |
| 37 | * TheGadfly: He loves annoying others for fun, like that time when he pretended to fall off North's sleigh just to see Bunny's reaction. |
| 38 | * GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: Jack has a benign version of this trope, allowing him to inspire happiness in those who come into contact with his snowflakes. |
| 39 | * GhostAmnesia: Jack doesn't have any memories of his former life because, unlike the other Guardians, he's [[spoiler:the only one who actually died before the Man In The Moon resurrected him as a Guardian. In addition, Manny's the one who induced the amnesia, since he believed Jack remembering how he died would be too painful for him]]. |
| 40 | * HatesBeingAlone: In the beginning, Jack laments that no one ever sees him, and he has been alone for 300 years. Later, [[IKnowWhatYouFear Pitch points out that Jack's greatest fear]] is that no one will ever believe in him, which means staying InvisibleToNormals forever. |
| 41 | * TheHeart: While Jack doesn't keep the Guardians together, he helps them reconnect with children after it is revealed that they've been working so long that they'd forgotten how to play with them. |
| 42 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:This is how he was "born". When he was just a human, one day he and her sister decided to go to ice skating, but they both ended up on some thin ice. He managed to throw her sister to safety, while calming her down by treating it like a game, but in doing so, he fell through the ice and drowned. The Man On The Moon saw the whole thing, and decided to bring him back to life as the personification of winter itself with no memory of his past life]]. |
| 43 | * HesBack: Jack launches himself triumphantly out of the ravine after experiencing his memories, learning how he was, and fixing his staff. |
| 44 | * HowDoIShotWeb: Being alone with no guide since day one, Jack has had to figure out his powers by playing around and seeing what he can do. Over the past three centuries, he's gotten a good feel for his abilities, but he's still unaware of the fullest extent of his power given he's just as amazed as everyone else that [[spoiler:he managed to flash-freeze all of Pitch's nightmares at once.]] |
| 45 | * AnIcePerson: To the point where he physically can't warm anything up. |
| 46 | * IcyBlueEyes: Has frosty blue eyes and is a winter spirit. |
| 47 | * ImmortalImmaturity: He is over 300 years old, but he looks like a teenager and usually acts like one. |
| 48 | * InnocentBlueEyes: He is a blue-eyed AllLovingHero. |
| 49 | * JackFrost: The playful and mischievous spirit of winter who [[PaintingTheFrostOnWindows paints the frost on windows]], makes snow days for kids, and nips at their noses to [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul make them happy]]. He is ultimately revealed to be [[spoiler:the Guardian of Fun.]] |
| 50 | * KnightInSourArmor: Jack is far from mean-spirited, but would rather be a free agent than bear any responsibility of being a hero. [[spoiler:He comes around at the end.]] |
| 51 | * TheLightfooted: Jack uses his agility to walk along power lines and slide over snow. |
| 52 | * LockedIntoStrangeness: [[spoiler:After he dies and becomes a spirit, his hair turns white]]. |
| 53 | * MagicalBarefooter: He's a winter spirit, and he goes barefoot. |
| 54 | * MagicStaff: He channels his powers through a crooked staff. [[spoiler:When he was human, he got his sister away from thin ice with this very staff.]] |
| 55 | * NatureSpirit: Of snow, ice, and frost, of course. |
| 56 | * NotQuiteFlight: He can call on the wind to pick him up and carry him along. He can even hover. |
| 57 | * OurFairiesAreDifferent: The "Guide to the Guardians" book says that he's an Ice Elf. |
| 58 | * PaintingTheFrostOnWindows: He is JackFrost. When he passes by a window, frost appears on it. Later in the movie, he uses this to [[spoiler:keep Jamie believing in the Easter Bunny.]] Downplayed though, since ice and snow also exist without him creating or controlling them. |
| 59 | %%* PapaWolf: To Baby Tooth. And also toward Jamie as well. [[spoiler:Also toward his younger sister, especially as his father is never shown when he remembers his memories.]] |
| 60 | * ParentalAbandonment: Jack spent 300 years alone without any family or friends to guide him. [[spoiler:His memories showed that he had indeed a family, but they died while Jack was an immortal spirit. However, when he learned this, Jack was excited about having his own family.]] |
| 61 | * PeterPanParody: He bears many resemblances to Peter Pan. He is an eternally young sprite-like being who treats much of life like a game and has the power of flight. Even his origins - falling through a frozen lake - is similar to a story that was allegedly the inspiration of the Peter Pan character. |
| 62 | * PowerDyesYourHair: [[spoiler:He had brown hair when he was human. After he died and got his ice powers, it turned white.]] |
| 63 | * PowerStereotypeFlip: AnIcePerson who's neither cold-hearted nor level-headed. Jack is [[AllLovingHero kind]], [[ThePrankster chaotic]], and rather impulsive. |
| 64 | * ThePrankster: Not a malicious one, being carefree and highly sociable. Due to the nature of ice and snow, he's still pretty dangerous when he wants to be. Examples of his being a prankster usually involve creating artificial snow days. |
| 65 | * PrefersGoingBarefoot: He walks barefoot, leaving frozen patches on the ground where he walks. When offered a pair of blue elf shoes (with ''bells'') from an elf, Jack cringes and stops the ceremony immediately. Near the end of the story, it is revealed that he walked on ice barefoot [[spoiler:even as a human]]. |
| 66 | * PrettyBoy: He's slender and has huge blue eyes. Tooth and her fairies fawn over him or, at least, his EternallyPearlyWhiteTeeth throughout the film. |
| 67 | * SadClown: He covers up his loneliness with jokes and pranks, although downplayed as not all of his jokes are to cover up loneliness, as evidenced by his flashbacks showing him with family but still a jokester. |
| 68 | * ShockAndAwe: He shoots frost lightning with his staff. |
| 69 | * ShowingOffYourPowers: Jack delights in doing this, and is frustrated that none of the kids recognize him doing it. Near the end of the movie he uses his abilities to make frost appear on Jamie's window, animating it into a rabbit that hop around the room to Jamie's Delight. This prevents Jamie from losing his belief in the Guardians. [[spoiler:The fact that this causes Jamie to finally believe in and see Jack is an added bonus.]] |
| 70 | * SixthRanger: Fifth, technically, but he joins the Guardians after they worked as a team for centuries (if Bunny's comment about them defeating Pitch in the dark ages is anything to go by), and they go through quite a few misunderstandings before he officially joins the team. |
| 71 | * SpectacularSpinning: He seems to favor spinning when he flies. |
| 72 | * {{Synchronization}}: Jack's ice powers are bonded to his staff and it apparently has some sort of physical link with him, as Jack noticeably keels over in pain when Pitch snaps it in half. Downplayed in that that's as far as the pain goes, as Jack is able to fix the staff soon after. |
| 73 | * TragicIceCharacter: Jack is a kind, playful winter spirit who HatesBeingAlone and is left alone with no friends and no purpose for 300 years which makes him think he is doing something wrong and doesn't even know what. Then, it turns out he has GhostAmnesia, and what he doesn't remember is [[spoiler:that he was once human and died [[HeroicSacrifice saving his little sister]].]] |
| 74 | * VagueAge: Jack Frost seems to have no actual confirmed age but creator and director William Joyce has stated that Jack Frost was stuck at the age of 14, but has the power to be able to change his physical age, becoming older or younger at will. |
| 75 | * VocalDissonance: His voice is much deeper than what his young, PrettyBoy character design would suggest. |
| 76 | * WellDoneSonGuy: Many of his actions in the story are made for trying to catch attention from anybody he could call his friend, like Guardians or the Man in the Moon. |

| 82 | |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Also known as SantaClaus. The leader of the guardians, and the Guardian of Wonder. He lives at the North Pole in the Ice Castle and is served by loyal North Pole natives, the Yetis (who built the castle and workshop), and the Christmas Elves. He carries a Russian accent/culture persona. |
| 85 | ---- |
| 86 | * {{Acrofatic}}: He's a big guy, but is capable of darting around as fast as Bunny, especially when it comes to chimneys. |
| 87 | * AdaptationNameChange: No explanation is given for why he is addressed as North instead of Santa Claus; in the books his name is Nicholas St. North, which seems to have been shortened like all the other Guardians' book names. |
| 88 | * BadassDriver: He maneuvers his sleigh around like a pro, so much that he can afford doing [[DrivesLikeCrazy loops]]. |
| 89 | * BadassSanta: A crazy-driving, dual-wielding bear of a man of Russian descent with tattooed forearms with one reading "Naughty", the other "Nice" and addressed by his last name, "North". |
| 90 | * TheBigGuy: The physically biggest of the Guardians. |
| 91 | * BigOlEyebrows: His eyebrows are thick and black, unlike the rest of his hair. |
| 92 | * BigFun: He is hefty, exuberant, and fun-loving. |
| 93 | * BoisterousBruiser: North is the most physically imposing Guardian and a perfectly nice guy, [[PapaWolf granted you don't mess with the children under his care.]] "This is going to be ''epic''!" |
| 94 | * ColorMotif: North's signature color is red as RedIsHeroic and [[HotBlooded exuberant]] (and because he's Santa). |
| 95 | * CoolCar: More like ''"Cool Sleigh"''. It looks cool, it goes fast, it can fly. |
| 96 | * CoolOldGuy: A {{boisterous|Bruiser}} HuskyRusskie Santa Claus that dual-wields swords and DrivesLikeCrazy on his sleigh. |
| 97 | * DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments. |
| 98 | ** This [[SnarkToSnarkCombat exchange]] in the beginning: |
| 99 | --->'''North:''' I hope the yetis treated you well.\ |
| 100 | '''Jack:''' Oh, yeah, I love being shoved in a sack and tossed through a magic portal.\ |
| 101 | '''North:''' ''(smugly)'' Oh, good. That was my idea! |
| 102 | ** After Jack gets {{curb stomp}}ed by Pitch, North has this to say: |
| 103 | --->'''North:''' That was good try, Jack. 'A' for effort. |
| 104 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: To the terror of Bunny and the amusement of Sandy and Jack, North's sleigh has no seatbelts and rides like a roller coaster. And this doesn't even begin to cover North's actual driving/flying habits. |
| 105 | -->'''North:''' I hope you like the loop-de-loops! |
| 106 | * DualWielding: He wields two large sabers. He can only summon one while the children were losing belief the world over and is overjoyed (and surprised) when he was able to pull out a second one during the climax. |
| 107 | * AFatherToHisMen: Toward the Guardians, the elves, and the yetis. |
| 108 | * TheGadfly: On his own nice list, he probably wouldn't rank very high. |
| 109 | ** It was his idea to stuff Jack in a sack. |
| 110 | ** He enjoys giving a fright to the poor Bannymund with his [[DrivesLikeCrazy style of driving]]. |
| 111 | --->'''North:''' Buckle up!\ |
| 112 | '''Bunny:''' Where are the bloody seat belts?!\ |
| 113 | '''North:''' ''*laughs*'' That was just expression! |
| 114 | * GeniusBruiser: He is an {{Acrofatic}} BoisterousBruiser; he is a master of {{Magitek}}. |
| 115 | * GentleGiant: He's affable to almost everyone, builds toys for children, and carefully minds his strength when around them. |
| 116 | * GutFeeling: A literal example, owing his intuition to his belly, starting with calling all the Guardians to his home base for an emergency meeting due to the Man in the Moon deeming it so. Bunny is skeptical, but North's belly comes through in the end as Manny chooses Jack as the next Guardian. |
| 117 | * HeroesPreferSwords: He is a master swordsman and he considers himself the best in the world. His skills in swordsmanship are so advanced that the Man in the Moon and Ombric trusted him with one of the legendary relics, Tsar Lunar XI's Sword. |
| 118 | * HuskyRusskie: North is a BoisterousBruiser who lives on the North Pole, DrivesLikeCrazy, and {{dual wield|ing}}s large sabers. In the books, he is a cossack; in the movie, he speaks with a thick Russian accent. |
| 119 | * IcyBlueEyes: He has blue eyes with frost patterns in the iris, lives on the North Pole, and is in charge of Christmas. Also, he is a total badass. |
| 120 | * InnocentBlueEyes: His eyes are blue, big, and full of wonder; as badass as he is, he is also one of the [[NiceGuy nicest people]] on the cast. |
| 121 | * LargeAndInCharge: He is quite hefty and is the unofficial leader of the Guardians. |
| 122 | * LargeHam: North is a BoisterousBruiser, downright jolly and full of energy, does a lot of enthusiastic [[SuddenlyShouting shouting]], laughs at the top of his lungs, and [[MilkingTheGiantCow milks the giant cow]] half of his screen time. |
| 123 | * TheLeader: He seems to be the one to normally lead the Guardians, and he's the one who calls meetings. |
| 124 | * {{Magitek}}: Carrying over from the books, he is a master in the art. While as a Santa Claus, he specializes in making toys (and functional ice models of them), there are also his teleporting snowglobes, his [[CoolCar cool sleigh]], and [[MagicMap the globe that shows believing children as points of light]]. |
| 125 | * MeaningfulName: He is called North and lives at the ''north'' pole. |
| 126 | * MilkingTheGiantCow: He accompanies his speeches with wide enthusiastic gestures. |
| 127 | * NiceGuy: |
| 128 | ** Despite being strict toward him, he is the one who's most supportive toward Jack and that's why Jack is heartbroken when North thinks that he betrayed him. |
| 129 | ** In the rufftoon comic, he is willing to give Pitch a chance for being a Guardian and looks upset when Pitch refuses. |
| 130 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: When they talk, he tends to grab Jack's shoulders, shake him and get nose to nose with him; he pets Bunny's cheek, hugs Tooth when they both are weak from the {{Depower}}, and so on. |
| 131 | * NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A badass [[BoisterousBruiser Boisterous]] Russian [[BadassSanta Santa]] who is capable of DualWielding two [[HeroesPreferSwords large sabers]]. |
| 132 | * OffscreenTeleportation: He goes in one chimney and pops out another; he also has his snowglobes for {{teleportation}}. |
| 133 | * PaintingTheFrostOnWindows: In the beginning, North switches on the Northern Lights as an emergency signal for the Guardians. |
| 134 | %%* PapaWolf: He acts like this toward the others Guardians. |
| 135 | * ParentalSubstitute: More or less this toward Jack. Played straight as Jack isn't shown having any father even when he was human. |
| 136 | * RedIsHeroic: He customarily wears a black fur hat, a long red coat with black fur trim, and a red plaid shirt. |
| 137 | %%* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Bunny's Red in the movie, although in the books he is much redder than him. |
| 138 | * SuddenlyShouting: Part of his LargeHam shtick. "How come? I TELL YOU how come! Because now you are GUARDIAN!" is just one example. |
| 139 | * SantaClaus: The mythical spirit of Christmas who delivers toys to all the world's children. The Guardian of Wonder. |
| 140 | * StoryboardBody: He has his Naughty and Nice lists tattooed on his forearms enhancing his status as a badass. |
| 141 | * SwordPlant: As he weakens, North starts using his sword as a cane. |
| 142 | %%* TeamDad: Definitely has moments of this, especially to Jack. |
| 143 | * {{Teleportation}}: His snowglobes open portals when he says the name of his target destination and throws them. He can also teleport between chimneys. |
| 144 | %%* ThatRussianSquatDance: Does a brief version of it while on the tooth mission. |
| 145 | * UnusualEuphemism: At least twice, North "swears" using the names of Russian composers, specifically (Demitri) Shostakovich and (Nicolai) Rimsky-Korsakov. |
| 146 | * YouNoTakeCandle: Occasionally, he says things like, "You are Guardian" and "That was just expression" and "You hold record." Most commonly, he loses articles; he is Russian, and the Russian language has no articles. |

| 152 | |
| 153 | The Guardian of Dreams is the oldest of the Guardians and the first Guardian chosen by Man in the Moon. He does not speak, but communicates through sand images that he conjures above his head. |
| 154 | ---- |
| 155 | * AdorableAbomination: Sandy is a nice magical being in a form of a tiny, round man made of golden sand. |
| 156 | * BadassAdorable: Sandman is the shortest, plumpest, and easily the most overtly friendly and adorable of the Guardians. Yet, without question, he out-badasses the rest of the cast in the film with his dual-wielding dream-sand whips that he uses to completely dominate his fight with Pitch. |
| 157 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Sandy is brought back to life at the climax by the children's belief.]] |
| 158 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Although peaceful by nature, the Sandman is a fierce fighter expertly wielding his Dreamsand Whips to fight Pitch and his nightmares. |
| 159 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: He is silent and he is said to be apparently the most powerful of all the Guardians. Even Jack said that he shouldn't get on his bad side. |
| 160 | * ColorMotif: His signature color is yellow for GoldColoredSuperiority. |
| 161 | * CuteMute: He is short, chubby, and silent. |
| 162 | * DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:He gets killed off during a confrontation with Pitch, though he comes back to life at the climax of the movie.]] |
| 163 | %%* DeadpanSnarker: Implied even though he doesn't talk. |
| 164 | %%* DishingOutDirt: Sandy's signature elemental power. |
| 165 | * DreamWeaver: Well, he is TheSandman. He creates dreams that allow children to keep believing in magic and in the Guardians in particular. |
| 166 | * TheDreaded: Check out the [[OhCrap look]] on Pitch's face whenever Sandy turns up and his approach to fighting him; he avoids direct confrontation with him if he can, preferring to let his Nightmares do the work, and [[spoiler:kills him with an arrow InTheBack when he's distracted]]. |
| 167 | * DualWielding: Two whips are better than one. |
| 168 | * EyeColourChange: When he is [[spoiler:impaled by Pitch's black sand arrow, Sandy's pupils become darker and more prominent in response to the darkness consuming his body]]. |
| 169 | * FacialDialogue: His physical expressions represent whatever mood he's in. |
| 170 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Gracefully accepts his impending death by Pitch, although as it turns out, he either never actually died or came back to life.]] |
| 171 | * {{Foil}}: To Pitch Black. Sandy is golden and bright, Pitch is black and dark. Sandy likes to spread good dreams in sleeping children, while Pitch can turn those dreams into nightmares. In a meta sense, Sandy doesn't say anything to avoid waking up children, while Pitch outright likes to talk about negativity. |
| 172 | * ForcedSleep: A rare benevolent example: if his dreamsand hits somebody who's awake, they instantly fall asleep in order to have the dream. |
| 173 | * GoldColoredSuperiority: He is made of golden sand and is the strongest of the Guardians. |
| 174 | * ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Dinosaurs, airplanes, whips -- the dreamsand takes any form Sandy can imagine. |
| 175 | * LetsGetDangerous: For most of his scenes, he's silent comic relief. Then [[OhCrap he sneaks up on Pitch]]. |
| 176 | * LightEmUp: His dream-sand is thematically opposed to Pitch's black nightmare sand, and glows with a [[GoldAndWhiteAreDivine golden light]]. |
| 177 | * MadeOfGood: He is made of the dreamsand, the physical (or, at least, magical) manifestation of sweet dreams. [[spoiler:This turns out to be his weakness: by hitting him InTheBack with a black sand arrow, Pitch turns the Sandman himself into black sand.]] |
| 178 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: He's the shortest, oldest, and most powerful of the Guardians, has the most versatile skillset, and interacts with kids every night. He is so devastating in the use of his dream-sand whips that the BigBad is afraid of him. |
| 179 | * PowerFloats: The strongest of the Guardians, he floats on clouds of dreamsand or just by himself. |
| 180 | * TheSandman: The Guardian of children's dreams. Downplayed in that there's no mention if he also delivers good dreams to adults as per the archetypal character of the trope. |
| 181 | * SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Sandy and Pitch go into battle as the Guardians try to fight the nightmares, but Pitch corners Sandy and shoots him with an arrow, making the little guardian disappear. He comes back later, though.]] |
| 182 | * SentientSands: Sandy is made entirely of dreamsand. He also communicates not in words but in sand images that he conjures above his head. |
| 183 | * ShorterMeansSmarter: He is not only the most powerful, but he's also the oldest and wisest of the Guardians. |
| 184 | * TheSilentBob: He communicates mainly through the shapes he sculpts with his magic sand. |
| 185 | * SilentSnarker: He's the closest the Guardians have to an OnlySaneMan, and is also the most difficult to understand. He snarks most when he's being ignored. |
| 186 | * TheSmartGuy: By virtue of his age, wisdom and tending to listen and look at things while the other Guardians are busy arguing with each other. |
| 187 | * SpectacularSpinning: He spins when he launches himself off the ground to fight the Nightmares. |
| 188 | * TheSpeechless: He doesn't speak a single word in the movie, communicating through [[FacialDialogue facial expressions]] and [[TalkingWithSigns dream-sand constructs]] to illustrate his thoughts. When he really needs to attract attention, he grabs an elf and rings it. |
| 189 | * SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Sandy makes his whips out of his sand. |
| 190 | %%* StealthHiBye: He pulls a really good one on Pitch, who is understandably startled. |
| 191 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: Gold eyes with a grainy pattern in the iris, for the most senior and most powerful Guardian. |
| 192 | * TalkingWithSigns: He tries to explain to Jack why he was brought to the North Pole with a series of rapidly changing pictograms. |
| 193 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Sandy seems to like eggnog, as he drank several consecutive glasses of it while at the North Pole. |

Tooth stores them in her palace and returns memories when they are needed the most. |

| 205 | ** Also in the case of her feathers. She had a darker color scheme in the books, along with bedlah pants, a top, and a drapery, all made of feathers. She also had feathery wings, not bug-like. |
| 206 | * AdaptationNameChange: In the books, her name is Toothiana. Though occasionally referred to by this name by the creators, within the film she is only called Tooth. |
| 207 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the books, she is {{The Stoic}} who attempts to murder her enemy. In the movie, she is a dorky {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. |
| 208 | * AdaptationalWimp: Downplayed. She lacks her two swords from the books, but she is still a competent ActionGirl who tears through Pitch's nightmares with her wings and packs a punch to send TeethFlying. |
| 209 | * AndThisIsFor: After punching out Pitch: |
| 210 | -->'''Toothiana:''' And that's for my fairies. |
| 211 | * AnimalMotifs: Tooth is a part human part hummingbird hybrid. |
| 212 | * BadassAdorable: She has an adorable and perky demeanor. As a human/hummingbird hybrid, her plumage is vibrant and colorful. However, her wings can be used as weapons to slice through things, such as Pitch's Nightmare minions. |
| 213 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She is one of the kindest and most adorable. However, she will punch you right in the face if you mess with her. |
| 214 | * ColorMotif: Her signature color is pink/purple. |
| 215 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She is obsessed with teeth. And what is wrong with marveling at blood and gum on them or getting into everyone's mouth? |
| 216 | * CreepyGood: Shows minor signs of this when it is clear she has ''no idea'' how to cheer up Sophie. She tries to get her excited by looking at teeth, some with little bits of gum and blood on them. |
| 217 | * CuteBruiser: She is a dorky fairy and she ''punches Pitch in the face and knocks out one of his teeth''. |
| 218 | * ExpressiveHair: Tooth's feathers ruffle whenever she experiences strong emotion. |
| 219 | * FairySexy: Not in the traditional sense, but fans agree that her design is very beautiful. |
| 220 | * {{Flight}}: Tooth has the ability to freely fly (wings), as well as hover in place without tiring out. |
| 221 | * GenkiGirl: She's usually quite upbeat and full of energy. If she isn't, things are really, really bad. |
| 222 | * TheHeart: The most sociable and nicest of her fellow Guardians. |
| 223 | * {{Hypocrite}}: PlayedForLaughs. She tells her fairies not to disgrace the uniform by {{squee}}ing too much about Jack's perfect teeth -- while she herself can't keep her fingers out of his mouth. |
| 224 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: She uses her own ''feathers'' to rip through the nightmares. |
| 225 | * MamaBear: It would be wise not to mess with her fairies. She has also some of this side toward the Guardians and other children, too. |
| 226 | * MeaningfulName: Tooth, or the ToothFairy. |
| 227 | * NiceGirl: Tooth is sweet, bubbly, nice, friendly, motherly. |
| 228 | ** She scolds Bunny for saying hurtful things to Jack. |
| 229 | ** She is compassionate to Jack about his GhostAmnesia; she even apologizes for not helping him earlier despite the fact that until recently, she had no idea he needed her help. |
| 230 | ** After Easter is ruined, she's seen comfortingly putting her hand on Bunny's shoulder. |
| 231 | * NightmareFuelStationAttendant: She is an innocent one. She tries to entertain Sophie with a handful of teeth ''with blood and gum on them''. Poor girl justifiably freaks out. |
| 232 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She gets into Jack's mouth to check his teeth. |
| 233 | * {{Omniglot}}: She can speak every language in the world. |
| 234 | * ParentalSubstitute: She acts like a mother toward her fairies, children, and the other Guardians, according to the artbook. |
| 235 | * PerpetualMolt: As more children stop believing in her, Tooth starts losing more feathers as a sign of her weakening. |
| 236 | * RaceLift: The Tooth Fairy is evidently vaguely South Asian in the books while in the movie, she's white. That said, she doesn't look that different from the design on the cover of her title book, where her skin is actually ''blue'', and her palace in the movie is based off Asian Indian aesthetics. |
| 237 | * RazorWings: She uses her wings to rip the nightmares apart. |
| 238 | * ScreamingWarrior: She borrows one of Bunny's boomerangs and lunges at Pitch in her palace screaming bloody murder. |
| 239 | * ShipTease: She has some with nearly all the male characters in the movie or in ''ROTG'' materials. She has several moments with Jack, most notably where [[spoiler:at the end, she briefly gives Jack a hug and they share a HeldGaze before Baby Tooth cuts in]]. She holds Bunnymund's hand during [[spoiler:Sandy's funeral]]. In one deleted scene, she was shown kissing North on a cheek (making this latter awkward) and Pitch slightly flirts with her in the official prequel comic. |
| 240 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Tooth is the only female Guardian. |
| 241 | * SpectacularSpinning: She cuts through the nightmares while spinning. |
| 242 | * TechnicolorEyes: Pinkish-purple with a crystalline pattern in the iris, for a powerful wealth-bringing fairy. |
| 243 | * {{Telepathy}}: According to ''The Guardians of Childhood'' series, the Mini-Fairies are extensions of Tooth herself, that she can split herself into smaller copies, and she is mentally connected to all of them. |
| 244 | * ToothFairy: Tooth is a part-hummingbird, part-human tooth fairy who has small fairies as her helpers and is also the Guardian of Memories as the teeth she carries also hold the children's most precious memories. |
| 245 | * VagueAge: Gracious. The books state that she transformed at the age of 12, and apparently stopped aging in her 20's or early 30's, based on her illustrations. Her movie incarnation is even more vague, since she's the implied love interest of eternally-eighteen-years-old Jack Frost but is also considered to be very motherly to her fairies. She has to be at least 440, though, and was stated to be 'older than the mountains, but younger than the wind'. |
| 246 | * WingedHumanoid: She is a humanoid covered in feathers and has dragonfly-like wings. She can walk, but obviously prefers flying. |
| 247 | * {{Workaholic}}: She comments that, unlike North or Bunny, she works every night. |

| 251 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/37608_3_2654.jpg]] |
| 252 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HughJackman |
| 253 | |
| 254 | The fabled keeper and bringer of Easter eggs and the Guardian of Hope. He has an Australian accent. |
| 255 | ---- |
| 256 | * AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Instead of having a coat like in the books. |
| 257 | * AdaptationalComicRelief: He wasn't such a ButtMonkey in the books. |
| 258 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In the books, even though he agrees to help the main characters, he hates mankind because [[spoiler:Pitch massacred his kind, making him the SoleSurvivor]] and isn't very kind toward them. In the movie, he is shown having a soft spot for children (especially for Sophie) and is loyal towards North and the others. However, he's still an occasional jerk towards Jack. |
| 259 | * AdaptationNameChange: In the books, his name is Bunnymund. Though occasionally referred to by this name by the creators, within the film he is only called Bunny. |
| 260 | * AntiHero: Bunny is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who deeply cares for children and his TrueCompanions. |
| 261 | * AwesomeAussie: He's given a rather prominent Australian brogue, courtesy of Creator/HughJackman. [[LampshadeHanging Jack calls him "the Easter Kangaroo."]] |
| 262 | -->'''Bunnymund:''' It's the accent, isn't it? |
| 263 | * BadassAdorable: He is cute and fuzzy; he is also fierce and surly. He says, "I'm a [[BunniesForCuteness bunny]]," and makes it sound badass. |
| 264 | * BattleBoomerang: He’s got two of 'em, in fact. |
| 265 | * BigBrotherInstinct: At the beginning of the movie, Bunnymund makes it obvious just how much he hates Jack. But despite this, he still sticks up for him, as shown when Pitch made a low blow against the boy. There are hints he is like this toward Sophie, too. |
| 266 | * BreakTheHaughty: He's rather arrogant, but toward the ending of the story, when children stop believing in him, he turns into a regular-sized rabbit. |
| 267 | * BunniesForCuteness: He is quite fuzzy even while he is six foot tall, but this trope happens in full force when [[spoiler:lack of belief turns him into a small adorable bunny with huge eyes]], much to his annoyance. It is so bad that the ''BigBad'' has a fit of CutenessProximity upon seeing him. |
| 268 | * ButtMonkey: While he's still very much a badass in his own right, Bunnymund does find himself as the butt of many of the gags in the film. And considering his [[DefrostingIceQueen frosty]] personality, it's hilarious every time. |
| 269 | * CharacterExaggeration: Of all the original Guardians, he shows the biggest changes between book and movie, going from a calm, technically inclined, chocolate hobbyist, to a slightly hot-headed nature warrior. |
| 270 | * ColorMotif: His signature color is green, representing [[GreenMeansNatural the vegetation of springtime]]. |
| 271 | * DeadpanSnarker: He offers the snidest comments in the movie next to Jack, especially when it comes to the trickster and North's antics. |
| 272 | * DefrostingIceKing: Bunnymund is very cold and aloof towards Jack for most of the film. It isn't until Jack proves himself as a hero that Bunnymund finally starts to show him genuine respect. |
| 273 | * {{Depower}}: [[spoiler:When Jack wasn't around in time to help the Guardians save Easter, children all over the world stopped believing in the Easter Bunny and it hit him so hard that he reverted to the size of a little rabbit.]] |
| 274 | * ADogNamedDog: A bunny named Bunny. In the books, his name is Bunnymund, more of ALizardNamedLiz. |
| 275 | * DualWielding: Two {{Battle Boomerang}}s. |
| 276 | * EasterBunny: He is a bunny and when Easter comes, he hides dyed eggs for children to find. Also, he is the Guardian of Hope and a snarky, boomerang chucking hero. |
| 277 | * ElementalEyeColors: He has bright green eyes, signaling his association with nature and spring. |
| 278 | * FunnyAnimal: Bunnymund is a 6 foot tall, fully anthropomorphic rabbit. |
| 279 | * FurryReminder: He [[RunningOnAllFours runs on all fours]] and scratches with his hind leg. |
| 280 | * GoodIsNotNice: Bunnymund can be a jerk, but means well in the end. |
| 281 | * GreenThumb: Flowers are shown springing up where his tunnels close. |
| 282 | * HairRaisingHare: A GoodIsNotSoft version. A six foot tall EasterBunny who will kick your ass if you dare harm the children he is sworn to protect. |
| 283 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Bunny comes across as a blatant complainer, constantly angry and conceited. He is a SourSupporter for [[TheLeader North]], but jumps into action as soon as he sees the real danger, as he genuinely cares about Easter and the hopes of children. He doesn't want Jack on their team, makes no effort to hide his hostility, and goes as far as to mock Jack's lack of believers; then he gets scared when Jack pretends to fall off the sleigh, gets angry when Pitch insults Jack, and finally, when he finds out that Jack restored Jamie's belief in him, Bunny is absolutely touched, and almost tearful. In the ending, Bunny warmly welcomes Jack's induction as a Guardian. Also, Bunny is always a big softie when Sophie is around. |
| 284 | * JerkassHasAPoint: In the beginning, Bunny tells Jack that he is the Easter Bunny and people believe in him; Jack doesn't know how to respond afterward. |
| 285 | * KickTheDog: |
| 286 | ** He is so angry when he thinks that Jack could [[spoiler:have betrayed them]] that he is the one saying that they should never have trusted him, breaking Jack more than he was already. However, this reaction was justified; he was heartbroken as well after all, and he takes it back once he learns that Jack got Jamie to believe in him. |
| 287 | ** His treatment toward Jack at the beginning can count too, especially when he said that people don't believe in Jack. However, that's also justified. His treatment was mainly due to a grudge he held because Jack made a blizzard in '68 during Easter. In any case, he gets better. |
| 288 | * KillerRabbit: Literally! He's a huge rabbit who can accurately throw boomerangs. |
| 289 | * TheLancer: The experienced, responsible, and believed in Guardian to Jack's inexperienced, irresponsible, and never-believed in [[TheHero Hero]]. |
| 290 | * MeaningfulName: His full name is ''E. Aster'' Bunnymund, at least in the books. |
| 291 | * PapaWolf: Toward Sophie. |
| 292 | * PetTheDog: |
| 293 | ** He is always the one who is ready for a fight with Jack. However, harm Jack and you'll regret it. |
| 294 | ** He has one with Sophie, too. |
| 295 | * PreAssKickingOneLiner: [[spoiler:He gets chased under a car by the Nightmares after his {{depower}}, only to drop a rather cordial one after he grows back to full size.]] |
| 296 | -->'''Bunny:''' G'day mate. |
| 297 | * {{Projeggtile}}: His Easter eggs surve as [[ThrowDownTheBomblet thrown explosives]]. |
| 298 | * RabbitMagician: Like the other Guardians, Bunny is proficient in a number of magical skills unique to himself, including the generation of magical rabbit holes and command of egg-based golems, gaining strength from the collective belief people have in the EasterBunny. |
| 299 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Red to North's Blue in the movie, while in the books, he is the Blue to young North's Red. |
| 300 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: [[spoiler:In his {{Depower}}ed form, he is a little, adorable bunny.]] He doesn't take kindly to Jamie calling him "cute", though. |
| 301 | * RighteousRabbit: A good-aligned bunny. |
| 302 | * RunningOnAllFours: He stands and walks on his hind legs but runs on all fours. He even does mild {{Wall Jump}}ing when he runs through his tunnels. |
| 303 | * SleepModeSize: [[spoiler:When he loses his powers in the film's climax, he takes the size of an average bunny.]] |
| 304 | * SoleSurvivor: If [[spoiler:he is the one of a large population of Pookas according to his backstory. In the books, they had been exterminated by Pitch while in the movie, their race apparently disappeared.]] |
| 305 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: His Easter eggs make [[PGExplosives pretty, colorful explosions]]. He has a rather explosive temper to go with them. |
| 306 | * TookALevelInCheerfulness: In the beginning, he is something of a stick in the mud. At the end, he participates in the snowball fight and agrees that [[CallBack "Everyone loves the sleigh"]]. |
| 307 | * TookALevelInKindness: When he is with Sophie. |
| 308 | ** He seems to get nicer with Jack, especially after [[spoiler:Sandy is killed]]. |
| 309 | *** That's justified. [[spoiler:If he is the LastOfHisKind in the movie.]] |
| 310 | * TunnelKing: Can travel almost as fast as Santa's portal-forming snowglobes, just by forming instant tunnels by tapping the ground with a foot. These tunnels can lead anywhere, even inside someone's house. They seal up once he (and whoever else is with him) enter, leaving no trace, except maybe a single blooming flower. |
| 311 | * VocalDissonance: Used for comic effect when [[spoiler:Bunny gets depowered and becomes a cute little bunny, but still speaks with Hugh Jackman's trademark drawl.]] |
| 312 | * WeaponTwirling: Boomerang twirling. |
| 313 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: |
| 314 | ** Bunnymund is deathly afraid of Greyhounds -- [[JustifiedTrope dogs that are known to chase after rabbits]]. Zigzagged though, since he was only afraid of Abby when she started chasing him. |
| 315 | ** He is also noticeably terrified in North's sleigh, which is also justified because he cannot fly. |
| 316 | [[/folder]] |
| 317 | |
| 318 | [[folder:Pitch Black]] |
| 319 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/37610_3_6959.jpg]] |
| 320 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JudeLaw |
| 321 | |
| 322 | The Bogeyman himself. He is the essence of fear and the Nightmare King. |
| 323 | ---- |
| 324 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: |
| 325 | ** Downplayed. While still a villain, Pitch comes across as less loathsome in the movie. In the books, he is rightfully regarded as a monster who [[WouldHurtAChild kidnapped numerous children]] and [[MindRape warped them into Fearlings]] and committed outright ''genocide'' of the Pookas. The movie never alludes to any of that, gives Pitch [[DrivenByEnvy a selfish but understandable motive]] and some PetTheDog moments, and he is shown to [[IJustWantToBeLoved suffer from being lonely and cast out]]. It doesn't justify his [[KickTheDog dog-kicking]], but you can see [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds where he's coming from]]. |
| 326 | ** In [[http://rufftoon.tumblr.com/post/36154217858/dreamworksanimation-travel-back-in-time-pitch the prequel comic]] by one of the film's artists (not related to the books), he is shown to have once been a WellIntentionedExtremist who protected humanity from danger ala ScareEmStraight and knew the Guardians. While he was somewhat good (or at least neutral), it also showed that he was [[{{Pride}} prideful]]. |
| 327 | * AdaptationalWimp: While Pitch is still a HumanoidAbomination and a force to be reckoned with, the movie portrays him as a spirit on a level with the Guardians, a far cry from the monster that extinguished stars and single-handedly felled a space-faring civilization in the book series. |
| 328 | * AmbiguouslyBi: If the fact that [[spoiler:he had a wife and a daughter pre-possession]] carries over into the movie. He also flirts a little bit with Tooth during his introduction in the prequel comic, and he is '' all over Jack'' in Antarctica (early artwork even shows him stroking Jack's jaw with a [[SmugSmiler smug smile]]!) when he tries to convince him to team up, and [[spoiler:is genuinely hurt by his rejection.]] Even Bunnymund isn't safe: [[spoiler:When in his [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Depowered form]]]], Pitch has this to say about it: |
| 329 | -->'''Pitch:''' ''[laughing, genuinely]'' Look how fluffy you are! Would you like a scratch behind the ears?\ |
| 330 | '''Bunny:''' ''[jumps in North's arms, horrified]'' Don't you even think about it! |
| 331 | * AlasPoorVillain: His actions are unforgivable and he definitely deserves to be punished for them, but you still might feel a little sorry for him when [[spoiler:everyone stops believing in him and the Nightmares drag him back to his lair]]. |
| 332 | * AndIMustScream: As he [[NotSoDifferentRemark points out]], his situation is similar to Jack's: people walk right through him, and he's an outcast among spirits. DownplayedTrope as well, since at least, he is not confined anywhere. In the end, [[spoiler:though, the nightmares drag him into his lair sealing the entrance behind them.]] |
| 333 | * AntagonistAbilities: The fact it takes the combined efforts of five fellow spirits (four of them at full-power, the other a WildCard with the power of winter at his disposal) to so much as drive him back speaks volumes at the kind of threat he can be. |
| 334 | * AntiHero: In the comic, he comes across as more of a NominalHero (using Fear to protect people, although how he actually went about it was... Questionable) before turning into a VillainProtagonist. |
| 335 | * AntiVillain: He has a selfish but still understandable motive, he suffers from being lonely and cast out and, even if briefly, shows [[SympathyForTheHero empathy towards Jack]]. |
| 336 | * BadPowersBadPeople: He [[CastingAShadow has darkness-based powers]], [[IKnowWhatYouFear knows what people fear]], [[NightmareWeaver gives children nightmares]], and controls a swarm of {{hellish horse}}s, and he is the movie's BigBad. |
| 337 | * BatmanGambit: |
| 338 | ** His appearance in the North Pole at the beginning of the film was meant to bring the Guardians there, and thus leave the Tooth Palace unprotected for his first attack. |
| 339 | ** Later he uses Jack's memories to lure him into the lair, and while Pitch [[BreakingSpeech keeps Jack occupied]], the nightmares ruin Easter. Because of that, the Guardians push Jack away, just like Pitch told him. Thus he [[AHouseDivided divided]] them, ruined another holiday, and got a chance to convince Jack to join him. |
| 340 | * BenevolentBoss: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]]. He is affectionate with the Nightmares, but he is not above sending them on ZergRush. |
| 341 | * BigBad: He causes all the trouble in the movie. |
| 342 | * {{Bizarrchitecture}}: [[EldritchLocation His lair]] looks like a straight-up Creator/MCEscher painting. According to the artbook, it's based on Pompeii. |
| 343 | * BondOneLiner: "I'd say 'sweet dreams,' but there aren't any left," after he [[spoiler:murders Sandy.]] |
| 344 | * BreakThemByTalking: A favorite tactic of his, and knowing everyone’s fears certainly helps. His speech to Jack, which is about how Jack will always ruin any positive connection by making a mess of things and therefore will always be alone, pretty much kills Jack's will to fight him. |
| 345 | * BrokenAce: He views himself as one. |
| 346 | * CastingAShadow: He either [[LivingShadow turns into shadow]] or creates and controls lots of his shadows, as evident when he circles Jack in the lair. During the climax, his shadows are substantial enough to [[KillTheLights break the streetlights]]. Also, he [[ShadowWalker teleports through shadows]]. |
| 347 | * CharacterTic: [[CirclingMonologue He walks in circles while talking]], and if he's not MilkingTheGiantCow, he clasps his hands together. |
| 348 | * CheshireCatGrin: At the end of his BreakingSpeech with Jack, he backs into the shadows until all you can see are his eyes and teeth. |
| 349 | * CirclingMonologue: His shadows circle Jack while Pitch [[BreakThemByTalking breaks him by talking]]. When he approaches Jack with WeCanRuleTogether offer, he also walks in circles around him. |
| 350 | * ColdHam: The way his voice echoes everywhere he goes and his sense of presentation lets him chew the scenery even if he blends in with the shadows. |
| 351 | * ColorMotif: Pitch is represented by the color black as an [[DarkIsEvil evil]] LivingShadow. |
| 352 | * CombatPragmatist: He pulls ISurrenderSuckers when cornered and deals with Sandy by avoiding direct contact, using the Nightmares to distract him, and [[spoiler:hitting him with a black sand arrow InTheBack.]] Did you expect someone who moves through shadows to fight fair? |
| 353 | * ControlFreak: In the prequel comic released, he comments on the importance of fear in society though with a relish of his authority: "Fear protects. Fear controls." This seems to explain why he was ultimately unwilling to partner with the Guardians since as they were framing it, he would no longer have that position of control. Also, being out of control for so long, he pounces on a chance to be in control and when he finally loses all of it, he succumbs to fear. |
| 354 | * TheCorruption: Pitch's Nightmare power comes from years of converting Sandy's golden dream sand. |
| 355 | * CreepyLongFingers: He has long, bony, pale-grey fingers. |
| 356 | * CreepyShadowedUndereyes: He has sunken eyes and deep, dark shadows under them. |
| 357 | * CutenessProximity: Hinted at with his reaction to a small Nightmare, as well as to [[spoiler:Bunny's Depowered form]]. |
| 358 | * DarkIsEvil: He has power over darkness and fear, [[EvilWearsBlack wears black]], it's even in his name, and he is the BigBad who gives children nightmares, wants to take the Guardians' power, gives {{Breaking Speech}}es like candy, [[spoiler:temporarily kills the Sandman]], [[WouldHurtAChild attacks Jamie]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and]] [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil downloads the information from North's globe]]. |
| 359 | * DarknessVonGothickname: The [[DarkIsEvil darkness-themed villain]] is called Pitch Black. |
| 360 | * DeadpanSnarker: Delivering half of his lines in a mocking, condescending tone, he is as snarky as he is [[{{Jerkass}} obnoxious]]. |
| 361 | ** In response to Tooth's demand to return her fairies: |
| 362 | --->'''Pitch:''' Or what? You'll stick a ''quarter'' under my ''pillow''? |
| 363 | ** To Jack: |
| 364 | --->'''Pitch:''' A neutral party. Then I'm going to ignore you. But you must be used to that by now. |
| 365 | * DeathGlare: |
| 366 | ** In the flashback, he is upset about people not believing in him anymore, and he gives them a baleful look. |
| 367 | ** The pained look he has after Jack refuses his WeCanRuleTogether offer quickly turns into a murderous glare. |
| 368 | ** [[https://pp.userapi.com/c627517/v627517923/1d36b/z0-uNO48I14.jpg He glares daggers]] when he finds out that one child still refuses to stop believing. |
| 369 | * DeliberatelyMonochrome: In a film full of vibrant colors, Pitch's mere presence seems to suck the life out of his immediate surroundings. |
| 370 | * DishingOutDirt: With his black sand. |
| 371 | * DramaticHighPerching: He appears on the tower of the Tooth Palace, flies on the cloud of black sand, dances on North's globe, and doesn't disdain ordinary roofs. |
| 372 | * DreamStealer: He steals and corrupts Sandy's dreamsand, turning dreams into nightmares. |
| 373 | * DrivenByEnvy: The Guardians are [[GodNeedsPrayerBadly believed in]] and loved by the children of the world, while he is almost forgotten. |
| 374 | -->'''Pitch:''' Maybe I want what you have... to be believed in! Maybe I'm tired of hiding under beds! |
| 375 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: He is pale, black-haired, and [[HumanoidAbomination eerie all over]], on the [[DarkIsEvil evil]] side of this trope. His skin tone is closer to that of a ''corpse''. |
| 376 | * EmergingFromTheShadows: He frequently steps out of the shadows, since he [[ShadowWalker teleports through them]] and [[LargeHam loves his drama]]. |
| 377 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He is affectionate with the Nightmares and keeps one ([[AllThereInTheScript named Onyx in the script]]) as a sort of Consigliere. In the rufftoon comic, he considers Manny as a friend and feels betrayed when the latter chooses the Guardians to "replace him." |
| 378 | * EvilBrit: He is the movie's villain, and Creator/JudeLaw gives him a British accent. |
| 379 | * EvilCounterpart: |
| 380 | ** To the Sandman. Pitch is tall, dark, and skinny, Sandy is short, stout, and bright. They even use dust which reflects their color schemes and elemental powers. |
| 381 | ** To Jack, as they share a desire to be believed in and acknowledged. |
| 382 | * EvilIsAngular: While the Guardians and the kids have rounded design, Pitch's face is [[ThinChinOfSin all]] [[ScaryTeeth sharp]] [[VillainousCheekbones angles]]. |
| 383 | * EvilIsHammy: With his [[MilkingTheGiantCow wild gestures]], EvilLaugh, and overall intensity, he makes sure that no bit of the scenery is left unchewed. |
| 384 | -->'''Pitch:''' You ''dare'' have fun in my presence? ''I AM THE BOOGEYMAN!'' And you will fear me! |
| 385 | * EvilLaugh: At the beginning of the movie, his black sand figure appears on the North Pole accompanied by a sinister, distorted laugh. He also does resonant demoniac laughter as he [[spoiler:kills Sandy.]] Other times, [[GigglingVillain he chuckles]]. |
| 386 | * EvilSlinks: He's an evil LivingShadow; he's a natural for slinking. The creators say that he glides, and you don't feel him walking with the weight of a human. |
| 387 | * EvilWearsBlack: He is the BigBad dressed in all black, contrasting the heroes' bright colors. |
| 388 | * FallenHero: In both takes on his backstory, he falls under this. In the rufftoon comic, he was never a saint, but he did originally use fear as a protective measure and sincerely thought of the Man in the Moon as a friend until the Guardians turned up. In William Joyce's books, [[spoiler:Pitch was a heroic mortal before the fearlings possessed him.]] |
| 389 | * FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. While a bit subtle, his entire driving factor and decisions on pride. He is angry at being forgotten despite being one of the oldest and most powerful of the spirits and lashes out at the Guardian for being remembered while he wasn't. However, his entire vendetta started because of his own pride. The preview comic reveals he was offered a spot to join the Guardians, but when he realized it meant ''guiding'' humanity rather than ''ruling'' it (even if through the shadows like Pitch more or less did), he rejected it and got pissed that he was being "rejected" in favor of the Guardians. However, his inability to humble himself is the cause of his own distress. |
| 390 | * FullContactMagic: He directs the black sand with grand gestures. |
| 391 | * GigglingVillain: He alters between EvilLaugh and [[ColdHam rather restrained]] chuckle, smug and very unsettling. He has a good chuckle after he finishes [[BreakThemByTalking breaking Jack by talking]]. |
| 392 | * {{Gonk}}: He has a really creepy-looking face, which is fitting, since he’s the personification of fear. |
| 393 | * HatesBeingAlone: Just like Jack. |
| 394 | -->'''Pitch:''' I don't know what it's like to be cast out? To not be believed in! To long for... a family... |
| 395 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:After he's defeated and the Guardians corner him, his Nightmares show up. But since no one fears him now, they turn out to be drawn to ''his'' fear and promptly drag him kicking and screaming back underground.]] |
| 396 | * HumanoidAbomination: You can tell that there's something... ''off'' about him. His lair itself is an EldritchLocation, his powers are born from [[TheCorrupter warping the Sandman's]], and he controls an army of {{Animalistic Abomination}}s. He's still not as monstrous as his book counterpart, though. |
| 397 | * IfICantHaveYou: [[spoiler:When Jack refuses to [[WeCanRuleTogether join him]], Pitch breaks Jack's staff over his knee and throws him down a crevasse.]] |
| 398 | * IJustWantToBeLoved: He is shown to suffer from being lonely and cast out, and he says he longs for a family. |
| 399 | * IKnowWhatYouFear: Knowing what others fear is one of his powers. |
| 400 | -->'''Pitch''': It's the one thing I ''always'' know. People's greatest fears. |
| 401 | * ItsAllAboutMe: |
| 402 | ** While his grief of not being believed in is understandable, he resents the Guardians for not simply ''letting'' him condemn millions of children to lives of utter terror. |
| 403 | ** He is compassionate to Jack because, as [[NotSoDifferentRemark he points out]], they aren't so different, but only until Jack turns down his WeCanRuleTogether offer. |
| 404 | ** As the preview comic shows, he ''was'' invited to be part of the Guardians. However, the wording meant that he would no longer be in a dominant position to influence humanity and thus, turned it down because he saw it as a step down. |
| 405 | * ItsPersonal: |
| 406 | ** He [[DrivenByEnvy envies]] the Guardians and wants to take their power, but he also blames them for taking his place in the world, so he's happy to show them what it's like to not be believed in and revels in the pain he causes them. |
| 407 | ** Initially, he tells Jack to stay away from the fight that doesn't involve him. Later, [[spoiler:[[WeCanRuleTogether Pitch offers him to join forces]], and Jack refuses; for this, Pitch trades Baby Tooth for Jack's stuff only to go back on his promise to release her, breaks the stuff, and blasts Jack into a crevice. During the climax, Pitch doesn't hesitate to attack him anymore.]] |
| 408 | %% ZCE: Jerkassery requires an explanation of how the character actually acts in the story, not just a list of adjectives. * {{Jerkass}}: Sure he can be polite and has some softer moments, but he is arrogant, condescending, and spiteful nonetheless. |
| 409 | * JerkassHasAPoint: At the Tooth Palace, Pitch warns Jack that as a Guardian, he'll start to fade away if kids stop believing in him. Unfortunately, this is true. |
| 410 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed: he is a straight-up jerkass with minor redeeming qualities. In the prequel comic, he really thought of the Man in the Moon as a friend. In the movie, he is affectionate with his nightmares and briefly shows compassion towards Jack. And that's about it. |
| 411 | * KickTheDog: He does this a lot. |
| 412 | ** He taunts Tooth after kidnapping her fairies. |
| 413 | ** In the Tooth Palace, Pitch tells Jack: "Then I'm going to ignore you. But you must be used to that by now". Pitch almost certainly [[IKnowWhatYouFear knows]] just how much it hurts. |
| 414 | ** He taunts Sandy as he [[spoiler:([[DisneyDeath not really]]) dies]]. |
| 415 | ** [[spoiler:He goes back on his promise to trade the captive Baby Tooth for Jack's staff.]] |
| 416 | * KubrickStare: When he finishes [[BreakThemByTalking breaking Jack by talking]], Pitch backs into shadows looking up with his head tilted down. [[https://pp.userapi.com/c629530/v629530368/33e0/5UfmEhsxpLA.jpg He pulls it off nicely]]. |
| 417 | * LaughablyEvil: At times. He is snarky and [[LargeHam overdramatic]], he does that ridicules victory dance on North's globe and suffers a lot of AmusingInjuries. |
| 418 | * LivingShadow: He either becomes a shadow or [[CastingAShadow creates and controls lots of his shadows]], as evident when he circles Jack in the lair. During the climax, his shadow hands are substantial enough to [[KillTheLights smash the streetlights]]. |
| 419 | * LooksLikeCesare: Pitch has ghostly gray skin and dark hair, alongside bright eyes with noticeable shadows. |
| 420 | * ManipulativeBastard: After taunting and goading Jack into joining his side, Pitch then tries to appeal in a different way, trying to convince him that they can do wonderful things together without the Guardians. When that fails, he demands Jack's staff in exchange for a captured Baby Tooth, only to [[ILied go back on his word once Jack complies.]] |
| 421 | * MilkingTheGiantCow: He makes a lot of wild theatrical gestures, some [[FullContactMagic to direct the black sand]], some for [[ColdHam dramatic effect]]. |
| 422 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: If Pitch Black is not good enough, there is his title of The Nightmare King. |
| 423 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: Giving Jack his teeth proved to be a big mistake, as [[spoiler:the memories in them brought Jack back from the brink of despair and restored his HeroicResolve]]. |
| 424 | * NightmareFetishist: Almost literally. He finds the Nightmares beautiful. |
| 425 | -->'''Pitch:''' What a pretty little Nightmare! |
| 426 | * NightmareFuelStationAttendant: He is the Boogeyman and bringer of bad dreams. |
| 427 | * NightmareWeaver: In the beginning, he pokes Cupcake's unicorn dream with a finger, and the unicorn slowly, painfully turns black along with its rider and disintegrates, while the girl shrinks in terror in her sleep. |
| 428 | * NoBrows: Lack of eyebrows gives him a skeletal, uncanny look, fitting his HumanoidAbomination nature. |
| 429 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: His looks set him apart from the good guys. While the Guardians have rounded, highly detailed, and bright-colored designs, Pitch is [[EvilIsAngular angular]], plain, and, except for the eyes, DeliberatelyMonochrome. The most standout detail on him is that his cloak fades into his wrists. |
| 430 | * NothingIsScarier: He's meant to resemble a shadow, as darkness represents fear of the unknown, the most primal fear known to any animal. |
| 431 | * NoSympathy: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]]. He has no qualms about giving children nightmares; he enjoys hurting the Guardians, if the jovial EvilLaugh he does as he [[spoiler:murders Sandy]] is anything to go by. However, Pitch shows compassion towards Jack who he sees as a fellow outcast, and per the creators, Pitch is not faking it. Then, Jack turns down his WeCanRuleTogether offer, [[NotGoodWithRejection the rejection hurts Pitch a lot]], and he goes into full IfICantHaveYou mode. |
| 432 | * NotGoodWithRejection: |
| 433 | ** At the end of the prequel comic, he feels rejected by the Man in the Moon and [[FaceHeelTurn turns on the Guardians]] as a result. |
| 434 | ** When Jack refuses to join him, there is a pained look on Pitch's face. Then, his expression changes into that of rage, and for the rest of the movie, [[IfICantHaveYou he puts an extra effort into fighting Jack and hurting him as much as possible]]. |
| 435 | * NotQuiteFlight: He flies on clouds of black sand. |
| 436 | * PetTheDog: He pets the Nightmares, literally and figuratively. Also, a few moments hint at his being more lonely than evil: He doesn't raise a hand against Jack until he actually sides with the Guardians, and even tries to convince him to stay out of a fight that isn't his; the creators confirm that his offer for Jack to join him was genuine, and that he really did feel sorry for him being alone and [[spoiler:rejected by the Guardians.]] Of course, [[spoiler:he ''caused'' said rejection]], but this is is the movie's villain. |
| 437 | * PreMortemOneLiner: "There are other ways to snuff out a light," as he [[spoiler:lunges at Jamie.]] |
| 438 | * {{Pride}}: Pride and [[TheResenter resentment]] are his reasons to [[RefusalOfTheCall refuse the call]] in the prequel comic. He is offered a place among the Guardians but refuses since he sees being a Guardian as ''beneath'' him. Of course, this leads to his undoing, namely in being forgotten and later in defeat, especially when ''he'' was the one afraid. |
| 439 | -->'''Pitch:''' You would put our destiny in the hands of stupid, ignorant children? You have it backwards! ''We'' are the ones who influence ''their'' fate! |
| 440 | * PsychicLink: He has some mental connection to his Nightmares: A Nightmare sees the Guardians collecting the teeth, goes back to Pitch, and Pitch immediately knows what the Nightmare saw. |
| 441 | * PsychoticSmirk: He does a smug little smirk with one corner of his mouth when he is about to do or just did something bad. [[https://pp.userapi.com/c629116/v629116923/16d5f/XDnuh-KkoxQ.jpg He]] [[https://pp.userapi.com/c629530/v629530368/1fda/kOKF3_XW8Xo.jpg does]] [[https://pp.userapi.com/c622421/v622421923/4a463/J4lgdJfVHzs.jpg that]] [[https://pp.userapi.com/c629530/v629530368/32a0/Mi2WUFFoLZw.jpg a lot]]. |
| 442 | * RageAgainstTheHeavens: Not much in the movie, but played straight in the comic. |
| 443 | * ScareEmStraight: According to the backstory comic, Pitch was once a quasi-benevolent proto-Guardian figure who used fear to keep humanity safe from danger. In the comic, he initially interprets North's idea of cooperation as a carrot and stick method; that the toys would reward the "good" children who follow the rules and he scares the "bad" ones into falling into line, [[ControlFreak framing the whole thing under the context of controlling them]]. North tries to correct Pitch while Tooth Fairy and Sandman look creeped out by it. |
| 444 | * ScaryTeeth: He has a mouthful of crooked, pointy teeth. In the prequel comic, [[LampshadeHanging Tooth disapproves]]. |
| 445 | * ShadowWalker: He appears from shadows and disappears into them as he pleases. |
| 446 | * ASinisterClue: Pitch is a villain and, according to William Joyce, left-handed. |
| 447 | * SinisterSchnoz: He is a bad guy and has a giant hook down his face. |
| 448 | * SinisterScythe: He wields a scythe made of black sand. |
| 449 | * SoftSpokenSadist: When he is not in the LargeHam mode, his voice is gentle and lulling and drips with contempt and sarcasm. He delivers his BreakingSpeech to Jack in this manner. |
| 450 | * SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Pitch makes his SinisterScythe, bow, and spear out of black sand. |
| 451 | * StalkerWithoutACrush: Toward Jack during a big part of the story because he wants him to join his side because he is powerful and isn't believed in like he is. |
| 452 | * StealthHiBye: He mostly does hi's. |
| 453 | * SuddenlyShouting: Sometimes, he switches from ColdHam to LargeHam in one sentence. |
| 454 | -->'''Pitch:''' You said you wanted to be alone... so BE ALONE!! |
| 455 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: Pitch is a HumanoidAbomination with silver-gold eyes resembling solar eclipse; in some scenes, they even glow a little. His eyes are the [[SplashOfColor color on him]], making them pop out all the more for a very creepy effect. |
| 456 | * TallDarkAndSnarky: He is tall, black-haired, and half of his lines sounds like he's mocking whoever he's talking to. |
| 457 | * ThinChinOfSin: He is a villain with a long pointy chin. |
| 458 | * ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: He is ''the'' Boogeyman. In his heyday, when everyone was frightened and miserable, he wielded great power. Now, he is mad about being written off as just a bad dream and wants to restore his former glory. |
| 459 | * UndeathlyPallor: He is a spirit with very pale, grey-tinged skin. |
| 460 | * VillainousCheekbones: He is a villain with high and sharp cheekbones. |
| 461 | * VillainTeleportation: Pitch can appear anywhere in the world through shadows. |
| 462 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: In the backstory comic, he uses fear to protect humanity and initially opposes the Guardians because he believes that the fear he embodies is necessary, and that the approach they take is foolish. Not so much in the movie where he rants [[ItsAllAboutMe about his loneliness and lack of power]]. However, his word choice regarding his views on humanity notes that while he believes his fear is necessary, he also ''enjoys'' the position of power he has over humans and sees becoming a Guardian as beneath him. |
| 463 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Pitch calls the Man in the Moon "[[TermsOfEndangerment old friend]]" whenever he talks to him. In the official comic, Pitch initially considers him a friend for real and values their friendship, but it ends when the Man in the Moon ends up creating the Guardians. He sees it as a rejection of him influencing humanity through fear and sees this rejection of the "old ways" as betrayal. |
| 464 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: His villainy stems from the fact that, unlike the Guardians who are believed in and universally loved, he is nearly forgotten. In the prequel comic, he is shown to have once been a WellIntentionedExtremist who protected children from danger ala ScareEmStraight before the Guardians were chosen, and, from his perspective, they took his place. Since that, he has been largely dismissed as not real, and he is shown to [[IJustWantToBeLoved suffer from being lonely and cast out]]. |
| 465 | -->'''Pitch:''' I don't know what it's like to be cast out? To not be believed in? To long for a family. All those years in the shadows I thought no one else knows what this feels like. |
| 466 | * WouldHurtAChild: He gives children nightmares and wants to remake the world into one of "nothing but fear and darkness." During the climax, he angrily lunges at Jamie saying, "There are other ways to snuff out a light." We never find out what Pitch meant to do, exactly, but he probably wasn't going to give him a hug. |
| 467 | * YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Pale yellow eyes for a ManipulativeBastard. |

| 474 | ---- |
| 475 | * AirborneMook: The dreamsand creatures can fly, and the nightmares retain the ability. |
| 476 | * AllThereInTheScript: Cupcake's once-unicorn dream and Pitch's right-hand Nightmare is named Onyx in the script. |
| 477 | * AnimalisticAbomination: The nightmares resemble normal horses just enough to look unsettling. |
| 478 | * DarkIsEvil: They are jet-black servants of the BigBad. Evil enough to [[spoiler:turn on him when he loses his power and becomes an easy target.]] |
| 479 | * DoomTroops: Skeletal black {{Hellish Horse}}s with [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing yellow eyes]], the Boogeyman's army. |
| 480 | * FacelessGoons: They are all identical. |
| 481 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: They have glowing yellow eyes. |
| 482 | * HellishHorse: Black demonic horses. |
| 483 | * LeanAndMean: The evil {{Hellish Horse}}s are downright skeletal. |
| 484 | * {{Mooks}}: A whole army of identical, [[WhatMeasureIsAMook disposable]] flunkies existing mostly for the Guardians to fight something on a regular basis. |
| 485 | * PunBasedCreature: "Nightmares" -- as in, {{Hellish Horse}}s who serve the embodiment of fear. |
| 486 | * UncattyResemblance: In a sense, they are Pitch's pets, and they are black, yellow-eyed, slinky, and eerie, [[https://sun9-10.userapi.com/c623931/v623931923/54b94/NnujTSCDwE4.jpg just like him]]. |

| 492 | ->'''Voiced by:''' N/A |
| 493 | |
| 494 | A mysterious being that is responsible for appointing the Guardians. |
| 495 | ---- |
| 496 | * BigGood: Man in the Moon bestows Guardians with their powers, and officially brings them into the fold once the time is right. When Pitch starts talking about destroying the Guardians, he directs his gaze to the Moon and calls the Guardians Manny's. |
| 497 | * TheChessmaster: The Man in the Moon is some sort of benevolent, child-loving deity who operates by making sure the Guardians and Jack end up in the right places at the right time, rather than directly interfering himself. |
| 498 | * TheChooserOfTheOne: When Pitch begins returning to power, the Man in the Moon is the one who decides an additional Guardian is needed and selects Jack Frost. The other Guardians were created this way, as well. |
| 499 | * GoodIsNotNice: He is definitely the BigGood and does everything to protect the children, but he has a rather hands-off relationship with the Guardians and leaves Jack for 300 years on his own wondering if he's doing something wrong. |
| 500 | * TheManInTheMoon: The mysterious BigGood who appoints the Guardians. |
| 501 | * MelancholyMoon: The first scene when Jack describes how he awakened, feeling frightened and cold, as moonlight is seen through the ice. |
| 502 | * InUniverseNickname: North calls him "Manny." |
| 503 | * SympathyForTheHero: Manny chose Jack as a Guardian because [[spoiler:he sacrificed himself for saving his sister]]. That, and Jack's method for doing it: defusing some of the tension of the situation by making it fun so his sister wouldn't be scared. |
| 504 | * TheVoiceless: No sound is ever heard out of him, but the Guardians and Jack all act as though they know what he's saying. |
| 505 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Pitch calls him "old friend" whenever he talks to him. In the official comic, Pitch values him as his friend. The friendship ends when the Man in the Moon chooses the Guardians, and Pitch is offered to join, but refuses and gets pissed that he is being "rejected" in favor of the Guardians. In the books, however, that's definitely not the case. |

| 521 | ---- |
| 522 | * AgentMulder: Believes more than pretty much any other human, including in things the others aren't sure about (like Yetis). [[spoiler:Becomes the last believer by the climax, and then restoring the faith in the others.]] When his mom offhandedly mentions Jack Frost, his instant reaction is to ask who that is [[spoiler:foreshadowing his status as Jack's first believer]] and when Jack's fun results in him losing a tooth, he's sure it was the Tooth Fairy. |
| 523 | * AudienceSurrogate: He's a normal human child with the most interactions with the Guardians. His main role, despite being an innocent child, is to cheer the Guardians on and even play a major role in the final battle. |
| 524 | * BadassAdorable: At the tender age of 10, he has more than enough guts against the Boogeyman himself. |
| 525 | * BadassBoast: To [[spoiler:Pitch, and unlike Jack, he managed to back his up.]] |
| 526 | -->'''Jamie:''' [[spoiler:I ''do'' believe in you. I'm just not ''afraid'' of you!]] |

| 529 | * ChildishToothGap: He has a prominent gap in his upper set of teeth to emphasize his youthfulness. |
| 530 | * ConspiracyTheorist: Would be this in any other movie, with his love of books on Yetis and other fantastic creatures that he just knows are real. In this movie, he is right. |
| 531 | ** He's also the last believer when Pitch tries to snuff out belief across the world, and the first person [[spoiler:to believe in Jack]]. |
| 532 | * GiveMeASign: Asks this of his toy stuffed bunny when he's starting to think that maybe the Guardians weren't real. It's Jack who responds. |

| 542 | * BabyTalk: Speaks in incomplete sentences due to her young age. |
| 543 | * BigShadowLittleCreature: A child variant. Before the Guardians see Sophie in the Warren, they hear her squealing in the tunnels. The echo distorts it to sound like one of the Nightmares' whinny. |
| 544 | * CatchPhrase: Often says, "Easter Bunny, hop, hop, hop!" and "Pretty!". |
| 545 | * CheerfulChild: Sophie is giggling just about every second she's on screen, and is amused by the simplest things. |

| 555 | |
| 556 | A young girl that quickly befriends Jamie and his friends. |
| 557 | ---- |
| 558 | * AllGirlsLikePonies: She wears a sort of tutu when playing in the snow, her room is completely pink, she has dreams about unicorns, and [[spoiler:during the final battle, she confronts one of Pitch's Nightmares and turns it into a life-size unicorn made of dream sand]]. She promptly cuddles it and starts skipping away with it. |
| 559 | * BadassAdorable: She likes ponies, the color pink, and in general having fun, but she and the other children contribute to the final battle against Pitch. |
| 560 | * BadassBoast: ''"Let's get 'em!"'' |
| 561 | * BoyishShortHair: In contrast to her tutu, she has choppy hair that makes her look a little more intimidating. |
| 562 | * BrawnHilda: Both played straight and subverted. She is introduced as a a brawny, muscular yet cute and beautiful, angry girl about to smack some kids down for hitting her with a snowball... until Jack Frost hits her with some of his fun-loving magic, at which she laughs and joins them in a snowball fight. Later we see Cupcake has typical girly-girl tastes in pink clothes and unicorns. |
| 563 | * TheBully: Subverted. All the other kids look terrified when Jack hits her with a snowball but she winds up happily playing with them and easily becomes their friend. |
| 564 | * CuteBruiser: She's significantly bigger than the other kids and at first they seem afraid of her, but she has posters of unicorns ''everywhere'' in her room and later is seen having fun with the others. |
| 565 | * GentleGiant: She's clearly angry (at first) about being hit by a snowball early on in the film, but otherwise seems to be friends with the other children despite her intimidating appearance and being at least a full head taller than everyone else. |
| 566 | * GirlyBruiser: Big and strong for her age, and has a love for [[AllGirlsLikePonies ponies]] and other girly things. |
| 567 | * GonkyFemme: Large, bulky and tough-looking yet beautiful with choppy hair, but loves ponies, unicorns, and pink, and happily skips around when she's having fun. |
| 568 | * HairTriggerTemper: Getting hit in the back of the head by a snowball nearly makes her go ballistic. Thankfully, Jack managed to nip at her nose before she could crush Jamie with the head of her snowman. |
| 569 | * HugeSchoolgirl: She's quite a bit bigger and brawnier than her peers. |
| 570 | * LittleMissBadass: Fearlessly takes on the opportunity to [[spoiler:protect the Guardians]] during the final battle. |

| 576 | * BadassCrew: Everyone who works for the Guardians--the Yetis, faeries, elves, egg golems, and so on. While most of the faeries are captured early on, Baby Tooth proves they can still be awesome by herself. |
| 577 | * BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Santa employs yeti. They are big, hairy and intelligent, since they, and not the elves, actually make toys. They speak some language that North and Bunny appear to understand. In the prequel comic, North mentions that he helped them in the past, and now they help him. |
| 578 | * BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Sophie, Cupcake, and Pippa, at the end. |
| 579 | * ChristmasElves: They don't actually build the toys and the Yetis are the ones doing the grunt work. North lets the elves believe they're heavily involved, and they do seem to function as a sort of "quality control tester" given that their mischief makes sure that the toys work and can take a beating. |
| 580 | * DamselInDistress: Almost all of Tooth's fairies are captured by Pitch and held in cages for most of the movie. |
| 581 | * SatelliteCharacter: [[spoiler:Because we don't see much of her other than a flashback to Jack's life as a human, Jack's little sister doesn't have a defined personality other than being his sister]]. |
