* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Part of the Scotsman's famous 20-second insult to Jack includes "Soy Face", a remark about Jack being Asian. [[HaveAGayOldTime Though nowadays it could also be interpreted as an attack on his masculinity]].

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Part of the Scotsman's famous 20-second insult to Jack includes "Soy Face", a remark about Jack being Asian. [[HaveAGayOldTime Though nowadays it could also be interpreted as an attack on his masculinity]]. Said insult also calls him a "Nyaff Plookie Shan", which is another remark on Jack being Asian, but also calling him ancient looking. This aspect of the Scotsman's personality is dropped by the end of the episode and all subsequent appearances.


Added DiffLines:

* VagueAge: Unlike Jack, who is explicitly 25, we never get a confirmation as to how old he actually is. He could be anywhere from in his late 20's to his 40's.

* DreadfulMusician: Subverted in his first appearance. He's actually shown to be quite skilled at playing the bagpipes and the tune itself isn't unpleasant to listen to. The problem lies on the simple fact that it's [[EverythingsLouderWithBagpipes loud]] -- ''way'' too loud for Jack's taste. Played straight in a later episode when he (deliberately) plays a frenzied, ear-shattering tune to overpower the sirens' music, thus saving their enthralled victims. [[spoiler:Taken even further in the finale--as a spirit, his loud music can magically ward off Aku]].

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:In "Episode XCVI", he gives an epic one to '''[[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu Aku]]''' of all people, calling him a coward for hiding in his lair in fear of Jack. What makes it so powerful is that it's a [[JerkassHasAPoint completely accurate description of Aku's personality in Season 5]]. Too bad it causes Aku to vaporise the Scotsman for his troubles.]]

* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: Might as well be the poster child for the trope. When her husband comes along with Jack to rescue her from the Celtic demons, all she does is nag, complain, and whine about every little thing they do. As a bonus, she does it so loudly, that any hope Jack and the Scotsman had of escaping via stealth is dashed, they are captured by the Celtic demon swarm, and had the lead Celtic demon not made the mistake of calling her [[BerserkButton "fat,"]] Jack and the Scotsman, who were being worn down by a massive ZergRush would have been killed, and she would have been "sacrificed." Though that's assuming she wouldn't have gotten involved if things got serious, since the episode is mostly PlayedForLaughs, and the Scotsman and Jack never end up worse than "slightly tired".

* {{Tsundere}}: An interesting Western version of this. While irritated, she's even ruder and louder than her husband. When angry, PRAY TO GOD she gives you a quick death. However in more pleasant circumstances, she's cheerful, kind and polite.

* StrongAndSkilled: Compared to Jack, who relies on several sword techniques and fast reflexes to overcome his opponent, the Scotsman simply attacks head on with everything he's got, shrugging off any attacks that hit him. He's still very skilled, mind you, the fact that he can continuously parry Jack's sword strikes for days on end proves this, he just prefers to use brute force as his strategy when fighting.

* HairTriggerTemper: If you know what's good for you, do ''not'' make her angry. Hell, even the her own husband is afraid of just the thought of angering her, and her husband is ''The Scotsman'', who is usually willing to stand up to anyone.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Their choices of outfit are way more revealing than of their male allies, who are all fully-armored. This trope is lampshaded by their father, who chastise them for going into battle like that.

** In "Scotsman Saves Jack Part II", an amnesic Jack, the Scotsman, and a bunch of pirates sail the ocean, only to come within range of the song of sirens. Everyone on the ship becomes hypnotized, except the Scotsman. Why? The fact is that the song of the siren enchants men due to how beautiful it is to their ears. The Scotsman thinks their singing is horrible and considers what could his wife's annoying voice as beauty to his ears.

* BrawnHilda: She's so obese and unattractive, that only a a man like her husband can call her beautiful. But her personality makes up for it (as long as she's in a good mood). Also she fights extremely well, surpassing even Jack and her husband, a trait that the Scotsman undoubtedly finds attractive.

* NoNameGiven: In part because Jack never asked his name. (In fact, the writers didn't bother naming his wife or his clan as well.) Interestingly, he never refers to Jack by his name either, he refers to him as "my friend" or "laddie" (he does in "The Scotsman Saves Jack" though).

Added DiffLines:

* CombatPragmatist: She uses a variety of dirty techniques when she annihilates the Celtic Demons, such as a two-finger eye gouge, and even biting down on them and yanking them apart.


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: Maybe unintentional, but her final attack against the Celtic Demons - a massive punch towards the ground that creates a shockwave, destroying all the remaining demons, is reminiscient of [[VideoGame/FatalFury Terry Bogard's]] signature Power Geyser.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite being twice Jack's size(and MANY times his weight), he can easily match the samurai's speed. The two of them fought to a standstill... after three days.

to:

* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite being twice Jack's size(and size (and MANY times his weight), he can easily match the samurai's speed. The two of them fought to a standstill... after three days.



* FasterThanTheyLook: Even though he's broadly massive and barrel-chested he can be incredibly quick such as when he challenges Jack to a fight on a bridge, both swordsmen combat one another in BladeSpam and ended up coming to a standstill. He can also dodge in an incoming barrage of bullets and can jump rather high.



* InASingleBound: Jack's not the only who can "jump good" as he too can also leap to greater heights and farther distances himself, although his jumping is likely inferior to Jack's jumping abilities since he cannot jump ''that'' high. Even Jack took his time to "politely" mock him for it while sitting on a branch no less.



* SuperStrength: Shows off his unimaginable physical power in his debut episode where right after being freed from being handcuffed to Jack, he pursues a couple of the bounty hunters by carrying a tank and throws it right onto them, and headbutts several mechanical crocodiles, making them explode. Aside from using his Celtic sword, he's shown to put the hurt on anyone absolutely larger than him with nothing but brute force in Episode XLV where he sends a massive viking flying with 2 blows. The greatest example is where he just simply brings down the Tango Beast, who's a {{Kaiju}}-sized monstrosity, with a swift punch to the jaw and goes out of his way to drag his enormous body afterwards to show him by asking if he's seen the amnesia-induced Jack.
