5-->-- '''Trope-tan'''
6
7Trope-tan is the [[MoeAnthropomorphism Moe Anthropomorphic]] personification of Website/TVTropes, designed by Tropers/{{Palindromee}} in response to Website/{{Wikipedia}}'s [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipe-tan Wikipe-tan]] and the Lost Media Wiki's [[https://lostmediawiki.com/LMW-tan LMW-tan]].
8
9See Archive/TropeTanClassic for the original Trope-tan concept that was created by Tropers/{{Fawriel}}.
10
11Her design includes many PersonalAppearanceTropes:
12* She has InnocentBlueEyes with ExoticEyeDesigns. They also [[CurtainsMatchTheWindows match the curtains]] and are [[TechnicolorEyes technicolor]]. They might even be a little [[SupernaturalGoldEyes supernatural]].
13* YouthfulFreckles, BlushStickers, and a CuteLittleFang (that sometimes gives her FangThpeak) adorn her face, and she is AmbiguouslyBrown.
14* She sports blue hair with a yellow streak and a pair of large GirlishPigtails with an [[IdiotHair ahoge]] and HairIntakes.
15* Her {{goggles do nothing}}. Or maybe they [[GogglesDoSomethingUnusual do something unusual]]?
16* The outfit is a [[TrueBlueFemininity predominantly]] {{blue|IsHeroic}} combo of a [[SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack school uniform]] and a [[FrillsOfJustice Magical Girl]] ensemble, sporting a waist ribbon, ModestyShorts, and an AwesomeBackpack that doubles as a BagOfHolding. Her left leg features [[ZettaiRyouiki Grade B Zettai Ryouiki]] because of its FashionableAsymmetry. Additionally, it's ColourCodedForYourConvenience, with colors eyedropped from the site and forums's design and a little bit of OrangeBlueContrast, and even includes ConspicuousGloves.
17* Her skirt [[AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance looks like]] a [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]].
18* The pen in her front pocket is [[ThePenIsMightier unusually dangerous]].
19* She carries a HyperspaceMallet of Thumping, used to... [[UnusualEuphemism boldly edit]] evildoers, trolls, ban evaders, vandals, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking natter]]. She's dubbed it the [[ICallItVera Thumphammer]].
20* [[PretentiousPronunciation It's pronounced "tro-PAY"]].
21* Her [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/928023396023930900/943515581062189126/tropecut.png origin story]] is in the form of a GilliganCut[[note]]the first trope page ever[[/note]].
22
23As for her personality:
24* A PintSizedPowerhouse CuteBruiser who's [[GlacierWaif stronger than she looks]]--she has to be, with that [[HumongousHeadedHammer giant hammer]]. BewareTheNiceOnes, indeed.
25* She's a NiceGirl, but GoodIsNotSoft--she won't hesitate when it comes to taking necessary measures to keep the wiki peaceful and functional.
26* A strong believer in TropesAreTools, she's doing her best to make sure that SugarWiki/TVTropesWillEnhanceYourLife by helping out all over the wiki, from the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=renames Trope Repair Shop]] to [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=images Image Pickin']] to [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?type=att Ask The Tropers]].
27
28But she's not alone in her journeys, no. She's got a couple of other acquaintances, themselves being personifications of other aspects of the website:
29
30!!Darth-tan
31[[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/darth_tan_1222_0.png]]
32[[caption-width-right:275:ThisTroper is wondering why no one's mentioned what an idiot Trope-tan is yet!]]
33
34Darth-tan, like her counterpart [[AmbiguouslyRelated and possible sister or personality]] Trope-tan, is a [[MoeAnthropomorphism Moe Anthropomorphic]] version of the [[DarthWiki/ThisExists Darth Wiki]] side of the wiki. Her illustrator is [[Tropers/{{Wafer}} Lemon]].
35
36Like Trope-tan, her design has several PersonalAppearanceTropes:
37
38* Her color palette, which also happens to be colorpicked from the Darth Wiki pages, is RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver.
39* Her default expression has TsurimeEyes to indicate her more callous and unpredictable personality, and she has [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] DullEyesOfUnhappiness.
40* She wears a BadassLongcoat themed after [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]], a reference to the namespace she represents and also the now-defunct Darth Vader Clone trope.
41* Unlike Trope-tan, who has dark-blue hair, she has black-and-red hair instead, establishing herself as the EvilBrunetteTwin of the two. Aside from that, she has [[FangsAreEvil a row of sharp teeth]] that also goes against Trope-tan's CuteLittleFang.
42* A pair of red-rimmed TriangleShades perches atop her head. [[NostalgiaGoggles Whenever she puts them on, she has a strange urge to reminisce upon the site's past]].
43* She wields an extremely lethal ArmCannon located on her artificial [[ASinisterClue left hand]] dubbed the Dethroner Mk. II, named after the DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck[[invoked]]. When fired, it has a large blast radius that leaves such problems as [[Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike complaining, unnecessary snark]], Administrivia/WordCruft, and natter in its wake.
44
45And for her personality:
46* The [[CardCarryingVillain entirely unapologetic]] EvilCounterpart to Trope-tan. While also representing the [=DarthWiki=] namesake, she also represents what you ''[[DarthWiki/ThatTroper shouldn't]]'' do while editing on the wiki.
47* Her relation to Trope-tan [[AmbiguouslyRelated is a whole other matter entirely]]. Are they sisters? Is Darth-tan Trope-tan's SuperpoweredEvilSide? Are they something else entirely?
48* No matter how evil she may be, her [[HarmlessVillain misdeeds]] include comparing literally everything to whichever disaster is going on currently by means of HarsherInHindsight and shoving NightmareFuel examples into any piece of media she likes, believing it somehow makes it "mature". It's up to Trope-tan to clean up her messes.

50!!Sugar-tan
51[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cci07042022_00000.jpg]]
52[[caption-width-right:350:A MoeAnthropomorphism for a subwiki? It's SugarWiki/BetterThanItSounds.]]
53
54Sugar-tan, like the aforementioned Trope-tan and Darth-tan, is the MoeAnthropomorphism of the [[SugarWiki/SweetExists Sugar Wiki]] side of the site. She is illustrated by @/{{Excessive-Menace}}.
55
56As usual, she has plenty of PersonalAppearanceTropes:
57* Her color palette is based off of Sugar Wiki's color scheme, with plenty of pink to highlight her [[PinkIsFeminine femininity]] and [[CheeryPink cheerfulness]].
58* Her default expression has TaremeEyes to indicate her sweet personality, and her ExoticEyeDesigns are heart-shaped pupils. Is a PerpetualSmiler with a PlayfulCatSmile when her mouth is closed and has a beauty mark near her mouth.
59* She wears a pink {{Meido}} getup with plenty of bows and FrillsOfJustice. There's also a Grade B ZettaiRyouiki with a diamond pattern like the Sugar Wiki's background and a pink waist ribbon.
60* Similar to Trope-tan's dark blue hair and Darth-tan's black-and-red hair, Sugar-tan has dark-brown-and-pink hair, referencing the namespace's chocolatey design and making her a RoseHairedSweetie.
61* Doesn't wear eyewear much, but she sometimes wears heart-shaped PurelyAestheticGlasses [[BespectacledCutie that make her look cuter]].
62* Wields an assortment of kitchen utensils, including a FryingPanOfDoom, which she uses to [[SweetBaker make plenty of sweets and pastries]] for everyone to eat ([[SweetTooth including herself]]). Eating her food can cause one to gush about how [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome awesome]], [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments funny]] or [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]] things are without inhibitions as well as giving them [[SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel sweet dreams]].
63
64As for her personality:
65* The {{Foil}} to Darth-tan; not only does she represent the [=SugarWiki=] namespace, she also holds domain over the JustForFun pages as well as the more casual forums.
66* Like Darth-tan, her exact relationship with Trope-tan is a [[AmbiguouslyRelated complete mystery]].
67* She's [[GenkiGirl very peppy]] and [[AllLovingHero kind-hearted]], always willing to gush about her favorite [[SugarWiki/GushingAboutShowsYouLike shows]] and [[SugarWiki/GushingAboutCharactersYouLike characters]], as well as [[FunPersonified providing some fun and levity]] when things get too serious. However, Trope-tan has to rein her back whenever she gets too eager in her activities.
68* She and Darth-tan are each other's [[SitcomArchNemesis Sitcom Arch-Nemeses]], getting into petty squabbles over their contrasting beliefs and philosophies. Trope-tan acts as the mediator to prevent things from getting too drastic.
69
70!!WMG-tan
71[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wmg_tan_front_and_back_2.png]]
72[[caption-width-right:350:''"[[CharacterCatchphrase Your guess is as good as mine!]]"'']]
73
74WMG-tan is the {{Moe Anthropomorphi|sm}}cation of the WildMassGuessing part of the site. She was designed by @/{{Lapsem}}.
75
76Her PersonalAppearanceTropes are as follows:
77* She's a BlackAndNerdy BespectacledCutie and CuteBookworm, whose thick OpaqueNerdGlasses would be much too heavy on anyone else without SuperStrength. However, woe betide you if TheGlassesComeOff.
78* Her color palette is taken from WMG pages' layout, primarily their yellow accents with, on mobile devices, black background. Lower half mostly notwithstanding.
79* Has HammerspaceHair styled into four buns, two large and two smaller, which she often [[MundaneUtility uses in place of a backpack or a handbag]]. However, the more things she stuffs inside, the harder it becomes to focus on any one thing to pull out.
80* She's got plenty of FashionableAsymmetry, primarily via DualityMotif, meant to represent WMG's [[MindScrew (in)constant]], [[EpilepticTrees ever-changing swirl of fan-theories]].
81** The shirt she wears beneath her leather jacket is black on the right side, and striped yellow on the left, and the sleeves have inverted colors for their "slanted stripe" pattern, with a lighter yellow at front and duller yellow at back mixed with black. ''Nothing'' in her wardrobe is completely symmetrical.
82** Her left stocking is celery-colored while her right is carrot-colored, and the laces of her blueberry canvas sneakers are each squash- and pumpkin-colored. ''[-Mmm... EdibleThemeNaming.-]''
83** All of the hair on the left side of her body is an unnatural sand-blond. This one wasn't her doing, but she does have ''some'' idea of how it came about...
84* Her time-weathered leather jacket is meant to appear as though patched up and repaired from many scraps of leather, befitting WMG pages' note-laden background, and also has a large golden letter "[[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS W]]" on the back. Additionally, the buttons on the shoulderpads are meant to mimic the Random Trope/Work buttons on WMG pages.
85* Has long, {{Pointy|Ears}} ExpressiveEars, which twitch and move around in response to her emotions. She can also manually move them, such as to hear something behind her. She hates ear jokes.
86* Her freckled cheeks seem flecked with motes of gold, which seem to ''[[EverythingsBetterWithSparkles sparkle]]'' WhenSheSmiles, laughs, or is otherwise excited.
87* Has a pear-shaped physique.
88
89As for her personality:
90* She's the {{Cloudcuckoolander}}[=/=]BunnyEarsLawyer of the bunch. There's hardly any filter between her brain and her mouth and she has a marked fondness for spouting off {{Non Sequitur}}s [[TalkativeLoon whenever she can]] [[MotorMouth get them in]], [[ObfuscatingInsanity but in reality, she's not nearly as scatterbrained as she lets on]]. In more serious situations, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness she drops this habit entirely]].
91* Is a [[BewareTheSillyOnes skilled]] practitioner of ConfusionFu, frequently pulling a whirlwind of {{improbable weapon|User}}s in and out of her HammerspaceHair in a fight, but the biggest mainstay of her arsenal is her trusty multifunctional MindScrewdriver.
92* She has no blood relation to the other three, and was already developing her powers by the time they met.
93* She's made her home in a tree-house in a [[TheLostWoods forest]] of EpilepticTrees, where she's lived since she was a little girl.
94** She's deduced that her time spent in [[EldritchLocation this strange place]] is what's brought about her various [[AmbiguouslyHuman changes]], like her half-blond (and very spacious) HammerspaceHair, spacey nature, elflike UnusualEars, capacity for OffscreenTeleportation, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and]] golden freckles, [[SupernaturalGoldEyes eyes]], and [[AlienBlood blood]]. Those who've been on her bad side swear that she's a HumanoidAbomination, but she's just chuckled whenever she gets wind of something like this.
95* Oranges are her TrademarkFavoriteFood, referencing the {{SelfDemonstrating|Article}}/ namespace, which has an orange as its icon, [[FruitOfTheLoon and she always keeps some with her]].
96* Has had many FleetingPassionateHobbies over the years, but being a huge bookworm and a GamerChick par excellence are two mainstays among them.
97* Speaks in a UsefulNotes/{{Liverpool}} accent.
98* Before she was WMG-tan, she was known only by her real name, [[StevenUlyssesPerhero Willow Mikaela Greenwood]], which she still goes by.[[note]]Which itself counts as FloralThemeNaming, too -- especially fitting for someone who'd eventually make her home in an otherworldly forest![[/note]]
99* Is a big fan of ''Series/DoctorWho''.
