History Characters / EmeraldCity

* MakeMeWannaShout: Stated to be a basic power.

* AmbiguousDisorder: [[spoiler: It's implied in the episode "Everybody Lies" and more or less confirmed in "Beautiful Wickedness" that he's suffering from dementia, but the citizens of Oz don't have a name or treatment for it]]

* ChastityDagger: He uses Mombi's knife as such against one of the Wizards guards.

* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Both literally and figuratively, as she is both the true ruler of Ev and is also never seen without a mask.

* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Or rather, the boy. He knows people won't accept [[spoiler: his claim to the throne if he doesn't stay in his female form, so he maintains it even though he really doesn't want to.]]

** His backstory is that [[spoiler: he thought creating an emergency at the power plant and then "saving" it would make him a hero. It's only when it starts happening and he tries to bring up the "solution" that it hits him that he's so low on the totem pole, the senior technicians won't listen to anything he says and thus unable to stop the overload.]]

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Despite the fact that Langwidere blames him for her parents' death and has said ''more than once'' that she wants nothing more than to burn the Emerald City to the ground, Frank ''still'' thinks that giving her the go-ahead to manufacture guns and ammunition won't bite him in the ass. [[spoiler: It does.]]

* EngineeredHeroism: [[spoiler: In "Beautiful Wickedness," it's revealed that Frank was a technician at the same power plant Karen worked at, ignored as little more than a grunt. So, he engineered an accident involving an experimental turbine engine, expecting to be a hero by "solving" it. However, it got out of hand to transport him, Karen and Jane to Oz. Dorothy's father was also killed trying to stop the experiment.]]

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Olive-toned, and shown to be blond in the episode "Science and Magic"

* WitchSpecies: All the witches in Oz were birthed by Mother South, so her death means no more witches will ever be born in Oz.

* ActionGirl: [[spoiler: Shoots Eamonn to evade capture in "Science and Magic"]]

* DistinguishingMark: Dorothy's birth mother recognizes her by a collection of dots on her left hand. [[spoiler: Its revealed in the episode "No Place like Home" that the dots are a tattoo, rather than a birthmark.]]
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Dorothy was able to handle herself with just her gun and her wits and becomes even more of a threat as she becomes even more proficient with the Gauntlets.

* FriendToAllChildren: His interactions with Sylvie make him this. [[spoiler: It's revealed in "Beautiful Wickedness" that he was escorting at least a dozen young witches to safety and it was his protection of them that led to his amnesia.]]

* CompositeCharacter: Being a companion of Tip and having the name Jack make him the series version of Jack Pumpkinhead but also having much of his body and heart replaced with metal also makes him the Tin Woodman of the show.

* NotAsYouKnowThem: Fans of the books will recognize Jack as [[spoiler: a composite of the Tin Man and Jack Pumpkinhead]] In the first two appearances he's fully human and StreetSmart to boot.

* ConsummateLiar: [[spoiler: Assuming it really was Tip and not an impostor, he lied to West about Dorothy's escape in "Everybody Lies" and gets away with it scott free.]]

* MissingMom: Never knew her mother and has no memories of her
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Horribly, horribly averted as [[spoiler: she's the only one of Glinda's trainees who ''wasn't'' spying for her, but she's still fatally shot by the Wizard when he discovers that Glinda's been breeding witches in secret.]]

* DaddysGirl: [[spoiler: Has been keeping her father's dementia a secret and covertly ruling Ev in his name to keep up appearances. She also appears upset when he goes missing in "Beautiful Wickedness"]]

* RealityEnsues: Tip has no issues with being turned (back) into a girl in the books. Here, a lifetime of being male leaves him understandably upset and confused at the transformation and he struggles to adjust to his new body.

* TransTribulations: Tip, due to being [[GenderBender kept a boy by magic so long]], doesn't identify as female when he's changed back into his original form. He reluctantly stays in female form to assume the role of [[spoiler:Princess Ozma]] though. [[spoiler:Thankfully, East's magic lets him shift back and forth between forms at will.]]
