History Characters / SkinHorse

%%
Canadian talking dog and field commander. Often conflicted between her meek, civilized demeanor and her identity as a MadScientist's creation. Also the OnlySaneMan pretty frequently.

* CanadaEh: Well, she's got the politeness and the heavy drinking down. By her own admission, though, she's never had a Kraft dinner in her life.

* NobleBigot: Tries to be a good civil servant and help all sentients. But she's secretly pretty homophobic ([[InternalizedCategorism and self hating because of it]]), and when drunk has been known to go on rants about how [[MalignedMixedMarriage miscegenation is a sign of the end times]].
* RuleAbidingRebel: [[invoked]] Her massive acts of rebellion include spilling coffee on a lawn, [[PokeThePoodle citing the "No Trespassing No Littering" sign]]. No one is sure if this is due to the way she was built, or just due to being Canadian.

* AnythingThatMoves: He identified as straight until he met [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Artie]]. Afterwards, he's been known to have threesomes with married couples.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: She bosses around even those who aren't in her chain of command by dint of being ''[[http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-373/ a large and angry swarm of bees]]''.

* UncannyValley: [[InvokedTrope The team notes]] that "Service is my only joy" seems a lot creepier when coming out of a dull-faced female body with no body language. As she gets more used to piloting it and expressing her emotions, though, it fades away.

* HotScientist: Tip and Nick think so, certainly.

* HotScientist: Along with her pedigree as a MadScientist, she's very attractive, and Tip is completely smitten with her.

* OutdatedOutfit: In keeping with her blaxploitation theme, her wardrobe consistently features PaintedOnPants, long dresses that usually have [[AbsoluteCleavage plunging necklines]], halter tops, and tied-in-the-front shirts.

* UpToEleven: Gerda is a Kinsey Seven, a type of lesbian so profound it was once thought not to exist in nature.

%%* HollywoodNerd

* EatsBabies: [[OffstageVillainy Reportedly.]] ([[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=33572#strip6 link]])

* NotThatKindOfDoctor: Tip is a research psychologist, [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=25126#strip5 not a therapist]], although he seems to dabble in semi-therapeutic work from time to time.

* StockholmSyndrome: Seems to be the case with [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=38967#strip6 Sweetheart]], who loved her creator despite all the crazy things he did to her.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=48036#191048 Nick's heart is strong and full of love!]]

%%* Meganekko

* {{Meganekko}}: Glasses, scientist, and quite the hotty according to Nick and Tip.

* TheMan: Her nemesis, since [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-253/ He takes her money]] (taxes), keeps a black girl down (everyone is [[SocietyIsToBlame a victim of society]]), and He's always trying to stop her from melting the polar ice caps.

* UnsettlingGenderReveal: He h as one EVERY SINGLE TIME he sees Tip, since he's forgotten being corrected the last time.

* RestrainingBolt: Besides the swear filter, Dr. Lee installed a lot of command words into his cybernetics, most of them breakfast foods. They almost never get used though.

* MixedAncestry: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in a really odd way. Her body is stitched together from people of multiple races, most obviously her head; the right half is from a black woman and the left half is from a blond white woman.

* UnsettlingGenderReveal: has one EVERY SINGLE TIME he sees Tip, since he's forgotten being corrected the last time.
