Exceeda Zeta

Tropes shared by multiple Exceeda Zeta Characters:

• Author Avatar: Author Cartuneslover16 has mentioned that each of the Exceeda Zeta Sorority girls represent a few aspects of herself:
  • Laura represents her compassion and leadership.
  • Dot represents her child-like demeanor and strong dreamer self.
  • Katy represents her toughness and unwillingness to back down from a challenge.
  • Colette represents her fashion assertion and temperance.
  • Monnie represents her tendency to care too much about others, as well as her fondness for music.
• Badass Adorable: All of the members of the Exceeda Zeta Sorority qualify, but in each of their own different ways. For example, Laura possesses a legendary roar and the ability to breathe flames, as well as flight due to having wings.
• Badass Crew: When Laura and her friends all work together, they can accomplish some impressive tasks.

• Circle of Friendship: They're a sorority group that works together thanks to their strong friendship.
• Color-Coded Characters/Color Motif: Laura and her friends come in a variety of colors.
  • Laura is midnight blue.
  • Dot is orange.
  • Katy is Salmon pink.
  • Colette is blue and violet.
  • Monnie is yellow and red.
• Four-Girl Ensemble: Though there's five of them, they each still fit a few of the categories listed below:
  • The Team Mom is Laura, once again because she serves as the sorority president.
  • The Sweet Girl is both Monnie and Dot, both of whom are the most openly friendly of the five. Laura too, but she can be pretty harsh when she wants to.
  • The Sexy Girl is Colette, who is The Fashionista.
  • The Tomboy is Katy, who's into sports, rap music, and is the most sarcastic one of the sorority.
• Four-Temperament Ensemble:
  • Laura is Melancholic and Phlegmatic; she's an absolute sweetheart but is also highly introverted and is not afraid to be blunt with other people.
  • Dot is Leukine; she's pretty servile and has many interests that she's keen on sharing but sometimes feels like she can't.
  • Katy is Choleric and Melancholic; she's the most outwardly short-tempered one of the group and shows a lot of signs of personal insecurity.
  • Colette is Sanguine; she's highly eccentric, desires to be an influencer, and can be rather impulsive sometimes.
  • Monnie is Phlegmatic and Sanguine; she's pretty introverted (though not to the extent of Laura), is a sweetheart, and is shown to be rather emotionally unstable at times.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Katy and Monnie are the tomboys to Dot and Colette's girly girls.
• Nonstandard Character Design: Each member of the Exceeda Zeta Sorority have their own unique designs, which generally are more detailed and humanoid compared to the other students at MU.
• Team Pet: Archie the Scare Pig, the Mascot of the Rival University Fear Tech, is now Exceeda Zeta Sorority's Team Mascot. He is also the personal pet of Laura Sharp, having been his caretaker during her time at Fear Tech and even named him Archibald Sharp.

Laura Scanlon Sharp (Own Character of Cartuneslover16)

"EZ comes as EZ goes."

Official Character Profile: Link

Chosen Voice Actress: Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Princess Atta from A Bug's Life)

• Author Avatar: Laura embodies Cartuneslover16's personality in many ways: Like Laura, she eats a lot and is obsessed with food, for example. She's also prone to panic attacks as well, which is also the same as Laura.
• Berserk Button:
  • If you know what's good for you, don't ever criticize other monsters for their appearances and ability to scare (or lack thereof) in front of Laura. It won't end well for you.
  • She also didn't take too kindly to Katy whacking her bottom with a branch in Chapter 3. She went as far as to snatch it, break it in half and incinerate both halves.
• Beware of the Nice Ones: Laura's a nice, if highly introverted girl. However, she's not afraid to be nasty to people if they deserve it. A good example would be in Chapter 5, where she delivered quite the You Know What You Did speech to Sulley, causing him to fall on his knees and break down in tears. However, it is later revealed that she was only testing Sulley to see whether he has truly changed.
• Big Eater: Laura's shown to be able to put away a lot of food, so much that one random student even commented that she can possibly eat more than Big Red (president of JOX Fraternity).
• Breath Weapon: She can breathe fire, as seen in the Prologue and in Chapter 3.
• Fish out of Water: On her first day of enrolling into Monsters University, which she was late due to educational bureaucratic red tape from Fear Tech, Laura plays this trope straight because she doesn't know where to get to specific locations, such as the School of Scaring. In Chapter four, she couldn't find the Greek Council Hall, and require directions from a few EEK girls who were exercising near her.
• Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Laura's an interesting case in that she's more right in the middle of girly girl and tomboy rather than leaning predominantly in one end. She has a relatively bubbly personality and largely seen hanging out with other girls, but she also takes a liking towards sports (and is shown to be pretty athletic in her own right) and keeps a pig as a pet.
• Ineffectual Loner: Although she's the leader of the Exceeda Zeta Sorority and is an otherwise nice and outgoing person, Laura prefers to be by herself a good majority of the time. Katy and Mike often have to force Laura to even leave her dorm.
• Instant Expert: She may not be the best at making friends, but Holy Goo she does got Roaring part of Scaring down in her book, as seen from Chapter 5.
• Love Interest: Squishy has a crush on her, and struggles to express his feelings whenever he's in her presence. Johnny also has eyes on Laura, which Laura seems aware of but doesn't return the feelings.
• Mama Bear: Doesn't take any of her teammates being put at risk well at all.
• Meaningful Name: Laura is derived from "Laurasiatheria", a superorder of placental mammals believed to have originated on the northern supercontinent of Laurasia (which, today, roughly corresponds to Eurasia and North America). Befitting for someone with an animalistic appearance.
• Mysterious Past: Her time at Fear Tech has so far only been implied, and she's incredibly reluctant to talk about it. Considering how much of much of an anxiety-ridden loner she currently is, something clearly happened during her time there that led to her becoming such.
• Nice Girl: An incredible sweetheart who tries to be nice to everyone.
• No Social Skills: She has social skills, yeah, but she prefers to distance herself from other monsters due to her belief that forming an actual friendship with somebody is impossible (that and wanting to focus more on her studies).
• Shout-Out:
  • Laura's design is based off of Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon. The author also mentioned that her body structure was partially inspired by Tigress from Kung Fu Panda.
  • Her middle name, Scanlon, is a reference to Dan Scanlon, the film's director and a storyboard artist at Pixar.
• Team Mom: Acts as one to the other members of Exceeda Zeta, being the one most concerned about their well-being and freaks out if she thinks she has failed them.
• To Be a Master: Aspires to break the all-time Scaring Record herself.

Darla 'Dot' Pressler (Own Character of Cartuneslover16)

"Super EZ!"

Official Character Profile: Link

Chosen Voice Actress: Marsha Thomason. (Naomi Dorritt from Lost, Sarah from the 2003 movie The Haunted Mansion)

• Accidental Misnaming: Even after hanging out with them for a certain amount of time, Dot still can't seem to remember the names of Johnny and the rest of his fraternities. She once called Chet "Chuy" for instance.
• Bizarre Taste in Food: Likes peanut butter and hot dog sandwiches, using the combo in the same fashion as most people would peanut butter and jelly in Chapter 11 Part 2.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Not to the extent of Art, but it's clear Dot has her own little fantasy world that she likes to live in.
• Eccentric Artist: She's an art major with an immense love of sketching, painting, and cartoons. She also has an incredibly silly personality and can be pretty ditzy at times.
• Genki Girl: She's very energetic, optimistic, and generally outgoing.
• Genius Ditz: Granted, she's nowhere near as ditzy as Art, but she can be quite clumsy sometimes. That being said, she also has quite a vast knowledge in arts and crafts (which makes sense, seeing as how she's an art major).
• Hartman Hips: She has some noticeable hips for a gelatinous monster.
• Love Interest: Art appears to be shaping up as her potential love interest.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Her real name is Darla, but everybody sticks to calling her Dot instead.
• Shout-Out:
  • Her design was inspired by Mina from Jelly Jamm.
  • Her nickname is a reference to Princess Dot from A Bug's Life. Meanwhile, her surname is a reference to Dave Pressler, creator of Robot and Monster.

Katrina 'Katy' McCrea (Own Character of Cartuneslover16)

"We can do this! You know why? Cause we're EZ!

Official Character Profile: Link

Chosen Voice Actress: Fergie. (The famous singer and female vocalist of The Black Eyed Peas)

• Break the Cutie: Katy was visibly distraught when Terri of the Perry twins was severely injured due to the accident at the science labs.
• Deadpan Snarker: She can be pretty snarky when she wants to.
• Love Interest: Of Terri Perry, who has a fairly obvious crush on her. It's so far a little ambiguous if Katy is aware of it.
• Mellow Fellow: When she's not being temperamental or snarky, Katy's a pretty chill and laid-back person.

Colette Creouture (Own Character of Cartuneslover16)

"Totally EZ!"

Official Character Profile: Link

Chosen Voice Actress: Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay Evans from High School Musical and Candace from Phineas and Ferb)

• Attention Whore: And Great Gloopy how. Colette absolutely adores being the center of attention, though unlike most examples, she's most arrogant about it.
• Drama Queen: Enough that the author even refers to Colette as her own personal Rarity.
• The Fashionista: Colette studies Fashion Design, and IS this trope personified.
• Fashion Dissonance: She changes dresses according to the Fashion norm, and she will definitely show off to other students the latest Fashion trends.
• Love Interest: Of George Sanderson, a member of JOX (Jaws Theta Chi). The feeling's are mutual, though both struggle to properly express them.
• Meaningful Name: Her last name is a portmanteau on "creature" and "couture"; the latter is a French word that means designing and manufacturing clothes that meets the client's requirements.

Monroe 'Monnie' Monstre (Own Character of CuddlesAndHuggles)

"EZ peasy lemon squeezy!"

Official Character Profile: Link

Chosen Voice Actress: Tiffany Thornton (The female star appearing in Disney Channel shows such as Sonny with a Chance and So Random!)

• Beware the Nice Ones: She's generally a nice girl, but if you're a jerk and/or you mess with any of her friends (especially Randall), you best stay away from her.
• Green-Eyed Monster: While Randall remains unaware of it, Monnie becomes visibly jealous whenever he talks about her sorority leader Laura.
• Like Mother, Like Daughter: She wishes to become a DJ just like her mother.
• Love Interest: Of Randall Boggs. She gets incredibly jealous whenever other girls show interests in Randall, especially when Randall brings up Laura.
• Vertebrate with Extra Limbs: She has an extra set of arms that she's capable of retracting.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: Well, replace "girlfriend" with "love interest", but the trope still applies. Monnie does not like anybody who dares to so much as tease Randall, even if Randall isn't all that bothered by it.

Monsters University (MU) Students

Chosen Voice Actor: Jonathan Groff (Kristoff from Frozen, albeit with a deeper voice)

• Big Damn Heroes: Saved Theo 'Turbo' from smashing face-first onto the road when the latter was thrown off when riding on Archie the Scare Pig into the Frat Row.

• Brick Joke: He's still slowly making up for his two missed semesters and the first scene of him in the Fanfiction is him running extremely slowly to his first ever Fraternity and Sorority Party.
• Butt-Monkey: Because of his extremely slow speed in getting to class, resulting in him missing two whole semesters.
