• Colorful Theme Naming: Several people's codenames have a color in them or are related to colors.
• The Confidant: The group itself is this, not just about the characters' assaults, but also the characters' less legal actions, such as Gru's art thievery and Yang's arson and murder of her rapist.
  Page of Cuts, after telling his story: You're not gonna turn me back over to him.

  • Averted with Youngmee and Blythe; they thought of being "Heungbu and Nolbu", but Nolbu was an antagonist in the fairytale, so they go with "Heungbu and Pumpkinseed" (also a reference to the fairytale).
  • Also averted with Cosgrove and Mary-Beth: he goes by "In Sickness", but she, his intended "In Health" partner, never comes to the Palace.
• Punny Name: Danny Catalan and Frederick "Flik" Bryant are two of the more obvious ones. Many of the Palace nicknames are punny too.

Allies

Alvin, Simon and Theodore

• Child Popstar: They were but have since stopped due to Ian's abuse.
• Former Child Star: Strangely, they're also still children.
• Free-Range Children: Their parents never bothered to discipline them and they weren't used to Dave actually setting ground rules.
• Nephewism: Well, Cousin-ism at any rate. Their biological parents are in jail so they live with Dave who is a distant relative but very clearly loves them like his own.

Bai Yuechu and Tushan Susu

Bloo

• Age Lift: In canon, he's chronologically five years old since Mac was three when he created him. Here, he's a young adult.
• Big Brother Instinct: He protected Mac from Terrence when he was still living with them.
• Forced from Their Home: Got kicked out because he didn't want to get a job or go to college.
• NEET: He's an adult without a job or enrollment in college and lived with his mom until she kicked him out.
• Related in the Adaptation: He's Mac and Terrence's older brother.

Bristlehound

• Knight Templar Parent: He's threatened several people out of fear they'll hurt Lambsy.
• Parents as People: After Mildew raped Lambsy, Bristlehound wanted to keep him safe, which is understandable. However, this came in the form of yelling at people Lambsy tried to talk to, threatening his teachers, not letting him hang out with Augie because she only has her dad, and trying to throw down with Niblet because he didn't trust him to be alone with his son.

Bruce Iguana

• Good Lawyers, Good Clients: He seems nice, he's skilled, and he's helped several Palace members who appear in his ad.

Casey

• Papa Wolf: See Rape and Revenge below.
• Politically Incorrect Hero: He is allied with the interests of the Palace and he does love his daughter, but he at least used to be pretty sexist. See below.
• Rape and Revenge: He's implied to have beaten Patsy's assailant with a baseball bat.
• Wanted a Son Instead:
  Patsy: It's daughters that God gave him; what he wanted was a boy.

Cleo, Theo, Lionel and Leona

• War Refugees: It's mentioned that Theo and Cleo had to flee Burundi, according to Leona because people there wanted to kill "people who went to school".

Coach Collins

• Abusive Parents: He actively belittled his son for his feminine behaviors and forced him into football in hopes of "manning the gay out of him".
• Didn't Think This Through: He forced his son, who was not cut out for football and only made the team because he's the coach, onto the field during a very important game and then was shocked when said son blew any chance they had of winning.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Following Michael's rape, it's shown that he heavily regrets how he treated him in the past, even taking some of his advice about Penny being a good player for the football team.
• Papa Wolf: Upon finding out his football team raped Michael, he kicked them all off the team and pressed charges against them.
• Politically Incorrect Hero: He didn't want girls on the football team and didn't like Michael being feminine, although he's gotten better about it following his son's rape. He also assumed Patsy was "one of those transgenders" due to her Gender-Blender Name before she corrected him.
• Stay in the Kitchen: Even when Penny shows that she can play football just as well as any of the boys, Coach Collins still insists that she be a cheerleader instead since that's "a girl's sport".
• Too Desperate to Be Picky: After all of the other football players were arrested for raping Michael, he reluctantly allows Penny to rejoin and lets a few other girls, a boy wearing prosthetics, and another boy who didn't want to kill a bug on his shoulder try out because he didn't have anyone else.

Commander Wolf and Assistant Weasel

• Adaptation Name Change: Their names are respectively Lowell and Itachi.
• Oblivious to Love: Wolf thinks he's helping Weasel rehearse to confess love to someone else right up until Weasel's brother points out he means him.

Cosmo and Wanda

• Like a Son to Me: While they never outright say it, the duo treats Timmy as if he was their biological son.
• Parental Substitute: They give Timmy more attention than his neglectful parents do and while they haven't been able to fix his problems with Vicky, they're aware of them and try to keep him away from her as much as they can.

Daisy Oak

• Driven to Suicide: Silver shoots Daisy and then himself after she asks him to do it.
• Human Trafficking: She was the property of the Ark trafficking ring.
• Sex Slave: She was held hostage by the Ark and used for sexual purposes.
• Suicide Pact: Silver gets his hands on a gun. Daisy convinces him to shoot her and then himself. He does.
• True Companions: She and Silver genuinely care about each other and have been together since they were twelve.

Dawson

• Best Friend: To Basil. So far, they only actually appear together in the "Coming Out" intermission which takes place soon after they moved in together, but it's clear from the way Basil talks about him that they were close.
• The Cameo: Has made appearances in a few other stories, mostly due to his role as a doctor.
• Living Emotional Crutch: To Basil, this is probably why Ratigan forced Dawson to rape him.
• Mistaken for Gay: By Ratigan. It isn't so much the gay part that causes problems but that it's Basil that he's supposedly involved with.
• No Hero to His Valet: The "valet" in this situation, Basil might be a famous detective but when they were living together Dawson was mentioned to have been able to scold him and talk him into getting help for his addiction.
• Only Friend: Seems to have been Basil's only friend prior to the latter joining the Palace crew.

Django and Emile

• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Django may have been hard on Remy growing up, but when Fiddleford needs his help he doesn't hesitate.
• Jerkass Has a Point: Remy, now that he's an adult, explains to the group that he understands his dad's point of view better now; they were poor and Django worked a manual labour job and needed energy, so of course they ate a lot of low-quality, unhealthy food and Remy got in trouble for overspending on ingredients. Didn't make it easier on Remy's synesthesia at the time, though.
• Papa Wolf: Once Django realizes what happened to Remy, he is pissed.
• Parents as People: Django got angry at Remy for buying healthy food despite knowing that his synesthesia gave him issues with the salty fast food they usually ate, which is justified in that the family couldn't really afford it, and didn't notice anything off about him eating more than he usually did, which was because he had been orally assaulted. However, Django truly does care about Remy, as he was horrified when he told him about his rape.

Doctor Hooves

Edward Butcher and Alex Baker

• Adaptational Name Change: In their canon, they were just "the Pirate Captain" and "the Pirate With A Scarf".
• Related in the Adaptation: Alex is the brother of Melisha Tweedy and of Basil's father, and the father of Bon Bon.

Elder Kettle

• Adults Are Useless: Justified. The boys were in prison and he was outside of it and unable to protect them.
• The Dreaded: Played for Laughs, but he is still known as the Diaper Baby billboard burner here and Manny makes a note to not get on his bad side because of this.
• Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: While he knows the boys were treated poorly in prison, it's during their doctor's visit that he slowly puts the clues together as to just how bad things actually were.
• His Name Really Is "Barkeep": Much like in the show, his name really is Elder Kettle. "Elder", in the sense of a tree, can be a name, much like Rowan or Hazel.
• Karma Houdini: Tamer example than Ratigan or Chip. He's not an abuser or a rapist, but he seems to have not faced any repercussions for the arson that he commits.
• Outliving One's Offspring: His son died and his daughter-in-law suffered from a broken heart, resulting in him taking his grandsons in.
• Papa Wolf: Grandfather in this case, but when he realizes just how badly Cuphead was treated in prison, the kindly grandfather vanishes quickly and he's quick to begin an attempt to get justice for the boys.
• Related in the Adaptation: Maybe. It wasn't clear whether he was related to Cuphead and Mugman in the games or cartoon show. Here he's explicitly their paternal grandfather.
• Racist Grandpa: Averted. In spite of being a Korean War vet, he has no problems with Korean people, saying that no one won that war. He's most likely not white, so maybe that gave him some perspective.
• Retired Badass: He's a Korean War vet and is currently on the warpath against the people who hurt his grandsons.
• Shell-Shocked Veteran: Implied. He talks to Manny and implies he had some terrible experiences in the Korean War.
• Your Favorite: He makes pancakes for Cuphead at one in the morning, the night after he comes home.

Elina

• Abusive Parents: Her mother Laverna wasn't accepting of her being trans, did something horrible to her when she was seventeen (Elina's post indicates it involved rape and child murder), and harassed her online while encouraging others to do the same.
• Nephewism: Well, Nieceism, but Elina and her girlfriend moved in with her aunt when she got her girlfriend pregnant.
• Teen Pregnancy: Not her, but when she was fifteen she got her girlfriend pregnant.

Emily and Victoria

• Faking the Dead: Emily suffers from Cotard syndrome, which leads her to sneak into the mortuary and lie down on the dissecting table as if she's dead.
• Polyamory: With each other and Victor.

Fred Flintstone

• Nice Guy: He defends Todd when Earl and Roy make homophobic jokes about him.

The Furious Five

• Adaptational Job Change: They're all cops here instead of warriors.
• Adaptation Name Change: Tigress' name here is Jia.
• Adoptive Name Change: Tigress had her last name "Biao" changed to "Liu" when Shifu adopted her. She went back to using her old name after Tai Lung was arrested to avoid comments.
• Fingore: As an analogue to Viper being born without fangs and her father losing his in battle, human Viper was born without hands, and her father's were smashed and had to be amputated.
• Handicapped Badass: Viper is missing her hands as an analogue for her being born without fangs in canon, yet was able to kill a Chinese soldier when she was a teenager and is a highly competent cop in the present day.
• Implied Love Interest: It's implied that the something may be going on between Po and Tigress, but nothing is confirmed.
• Meaningful Name: Tigress' surname is given as Biao, which means "marking" and is used for tiger stripes. The others are Dushe, Tanglang, Hou, and He Niao, more direct translations of Viper, Mantis, Monkey, and Crane.
• Race Lift: Well, nationality lift. Unlike canon, some of the Furious Five aren't Chinese, though they do still have connection to China. So far it's been revealed that Viper is Tibetan.
• Trauma Button: In "Statements", when Po hears that Bing is in ABA therapy and was thought to be "low-functioning", he notes to himself that Tigress, who is autistic, hates ABA and the "functioning" label, getting angry when they're brought up, which implies that she had to deal with it as a child.

Gladstone Gander

• The Kindness of Strangers: He helped rescue the Ark victims in the backroom of the Lucky Fortune Casino.

Gloria Sato

• Hero with Bad Publicity: The actual victim of the "Nice Guy" story, but assumed to be lying due to racism and misogyny as well as classism, as she's a low-income, non-white woman accusing a rich white man.

Granny, Tweety, and Penelope

• Date Rape: Penelope suffered one at the hands of a drunk Pepe, but didn't want to come to the Palace and transferred colleges instead.
• Related in the Adaptation: Sylvester and Penelope are siblings, Tweety is their cousin, and Granny actually is their grandmother.

The Guardians

• Raised by Grandparents: It's mentioned in "Cat Out of the Bag" that North raised Jack and Katherine.
• Was Too Hard on Him: Bunny always yelled at Jack for being a difficult child, but he regrets it when North calls him in "Cat Out of the Bag" to inform him of Jack's death and asks why he had to be so hard on him.

Heavy

• Cold-Blooded Torture: If the "wrench story" is the same one from Poker Night at the Inventory, he didn't just hit the guy with it.
• War Is Hell: He did not have such a great time in the military.
• Wrench Whack: He attacked the rapist of one of his teammates with a wrench.

The herd

• Adaptational Name Change: In order to fit with the Soviet Russia setting, Sid is named Sidor Chi, Diego is Lev Koshkin, Buck is Boris Bayarsaikhan, and Crash and Eddie are Kristophor and Eldar.
• Age Lift: They were young adults while the Soviet gulags were still operational, putting them in their eighties now, if they're still alive.
• All Germans Are Nazis: Averted; Manny and his first family were German Jews, but they hid the fact they were Jewish in order to get into Russia and were only imprisoned for being German, so Gavin assumed that Manny was a Nazi and assaulted him for it.
• Crusading Widower: Buck tortures Rudy by knocking his teeth out and later beats him to death with assistance from Momma Rex, implied to be in revenge for Rudy having done something horrible to Buck's wife and/or child as well as abusing Buck himself.
• Dirty Communists: The herd were imprisoned in Soviet Russia.
• Eye Scream: Rudy ejaculated and urinated into Buck's eye socket.
• The Gulag: They met in the very real Karlag prison camp.
• The Lost Lenore: Buck had an actual wife and daughter, who died in the camp.
• Meaningful Name: Diego is named Koshkin here, which means "cat" in Russian.
• Posthumous Character: Manny's first wife and son were beaten to death when she refused to be separated from him. Either Crash or Eddie was forced to kill the other, and the surviving brother was executed. Diego shot Carl by mistake and Manny beat Frank to death to prevent him raising the alarm. Buck had a human wife and daughter, who died in the camp. Scrat died of tannin poisoning from eating raw acorns. Fast Tony killed and ate Stu.
• Sadistic Choice: Crash and Eddie were forced to fight to the death as punishment for attacking Rudy, the loser being slowly dismembered.
• The Tooth Hurts: Buck knocked out Rudy's teeth and collected them.

James Ratri

• Ambiguously Evil: Appears to have been working for the Ark, but the exact details of who he was in the organization or how willing a participant he was is currently unknown.
• Happily Married: He and Kanamori were married here, and if her description is anything to go by, it was a happy union until his untimely death.
• Posthumous Character: As of VENUS' chapter, he's already dead.

Jenny and Joy

• Composite Character: There's only one of each of them.
• Happily Married: The two of them have a stable relationship and provide a good home to Mew and Mewtwo when they come to stay with them.
• Noble Bigot with a Badge: Slight tendencies that way. She tries not to be, but Vachir is able to persuade Jenny that Chief Beifong won't listen to her about the police brutality issue and could ruin her career, because she's Japanese and Beifong's mother is a Chinese immigrant born around the time of WW2, and there aren't many Japanese officers on the force. Jenny, fearing for her job, doesn't check the assumption, and is very surprised and embarrassed to find out Beifong's father was Japanese too.

Jessie, James, and Meowth

• Age Lift: May or may not count. It's implied in some dialogue in the original Japanese version that Jessie, James, and the other Rocket grunts are in their twenties, while in the video games the Rockets are implied to be the same age as the player character. Here, they're all teenagers, as the Western fandom tends to assume.
• Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe: Jessie has zero clue if the father of her child is James, one of the cops, Butch or someone else. James, for his part, doesn't really care and still plans to help her raise it.
• Punny Name: Meowth's human deadname here is Woodson Neko, Woodson being Jesse James' middle name and "neko" being Japanese for "cat". Her new name is Sunny, as Woodson could be shortened to Sonny.
• Teen Pregnancy: The "Friends" intermission confirms that Jessie (who's in her mid-teens) is pregnant. She plans on naming the baby Thelma

John Silver

• Papa Wolf: He protects Jim from fellow criminals, and turns himself in in Jim's place.
• Parental Substitute: Fills in for Jim's Disappeared Dad as much as he can.
• Taking the Heat: Knowing he'd be safer than Jim in prison, he takes the fall for Leland's death when the cops attempt to pin it on Jim.

Jughead Jones

• Creepy Uncle: His uncle was a GWF member and turned him into the cult because he's asexual.
• The Runaway: Ran away from home because he tried to report GWF and his uncle for what they did and no one believed him.

Kekata

• The Chew Toy: He's often the one stuck dealing with weird patients.
  Why does he always get the weird ones?
• Outliving One's Offspring: His son Kocoum was murdered by GWF.
• Papa Wolf: In "Somebody I Used To Know", when Wiggins is brought into the hospital after Vitani bit his fingers off, Kekata nearly gets his hands on him and refuses to treat him due to his involvement with Kocoum's death.
• Weirdness Magnet: Keeps getting the more interesting patients. This goes lampshaded by his co-workers and even himself.

Lampwick

• Death by Adaptation: Instead of transforming, he's dumped in the ocean. Whether he was alive when he went under is left to the imagination, but considering the Pragmatic Villainy of Pleasure Island, one wonders.
• Dead Hat Shot: All that's been found of him was his hat.
• Death of a Child: He died when he'd only just turned thirteen, possibly (going by the Leit Motif) the very same day.
• He Had a Name: Romeo Lucignolo.
• Leit Motif/Shout-Out: To the Evelyn Evelyn song "Sandy Fishnets".
• Never Found the Body: The police never found him, only his hat in the water.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Is killed when he gets too old.

Lena DeSpell

• Abusive Parents: Magica doesn't treat her any better than in canon.
• Double Take: It takes Lena a second to realize that Tigress called Magica her mother, rather then her aunt, when she's giving her statement to the police.
• Family Relationship Switcheroo: Magica told Lena that she was her aunt, but Lena is later surprised to find out that she's actually her mother.
• Nephewism: Inverted. Magica actually is her mother, but didn't want to be a mother so made Lena call her aunt instead.
• Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Averted. Magica doesn't molest her, but does hit her and neglect her, and that's treated as just as important and deserving of help; not the Palace's target market, but within the purview of Mary's day job.

Lin Beifong

• Cool Aunt: She is Huan's aunt and launches an investigation on the corrupt cops when some of them assault her nephew.
• Da Chief: She's the police chief of the Calisota City Police Department and she cracks down hard on the crooked cops when she finds out what happened to Huan.

Lio and Song Oak - "Dr Jaguar"

• Back-Alley Doctor: Effectively what Kipo's dad is doing, except in the warehouse. He really is a qualified doctor, but the conditions and equipment he's stuck with aren't good.
• Kidnapped Doctor: A long-term version; Dr. Oak's been with the Ark at least since Kipo was tiny, possibly before she was born.
• Missing Mom: Kipo mentions that her mom is dead.
• Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: Subverted. What he's forced into doing is awful, but Dr. Oak doesn't want to do it and is actually really nice.
• Trapped in Villainy: Kipo's dad is forced to be a doctor for the Ark, birthing babies, patching up torture victims, and embalming corpses for sale. Kipo works with him but she's more Innocent Inaccurate, too young to really get what's going on.

Lizzy

• Child Prodigy: Despite having no official education, she's smart enough to keep up in conversation with Basil.
• Emotionless Girl: She remains calm and speaks in monotone throughout shocking circumstances.
• Hates Their Parent: Simply refers to Melisha as "birthgiver" because she doesn't see her as a mother for putting her in the trafficking ring.
• Meaningful Name: She named herself after axe murderer Lizzie Borden because she wants to kill Melisha with an axe.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Quite understandable considering the conditions she grew up in. She likes to pretend to be dead from consumption, and demands clothing with bloodstains on it.
• Related in the Adaptation: She's Melisha Tweedy's daughter, which makes her Basil's cousin since Melisha is Basil Senior's sister.
• Sherlock Scan: She inherited the ability to do this.

Luke Skywalker

• Adaptational Personality Change: By the time he hits old age in canon, he's become a bitter, Grumpy Old Man who pretty much has to be dragged to his feet to help train Rey. Here, he's shown to still be the same All-Loving Hero even in his old age, to the point where Basil mockingly asks him if he has to go "save a kitten from a tree".
• Excellent Judge of Character: In the side story "Friends," he's very suspicious of Ratigan, and that's even without knowing Basil's past with him.
• Good Parents: Even though she's not biologically his, Luke did his best to help Rey deal with her trauma and provided her with a solid set of morals. Rey, for her part, seems to consider him on the same level as her birth parents.

Malina

• Violently Protective Girlfriend: When Kuzco reveals what happened to him and thinks they walked past someone who raped him back when he was with the Ark, Malina offers to beat him up.

The Mane 6

• Fictional Country: Twilight is the crown princess of Arisiziat ("horse land", i.e. Equestria).
• Fluffy Tamer: The Ark's guard dogs are confused and cowed by Fluttershy's Stare.
• Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Pinkie Pie frequently got wasted with Julien.
• Meaningful Name: Fluttershy is "Laquetta Cefiro", which translates roughly as "quiet breeze". Rainbow Dash is "Azul", meaning "blue", and Twilight is "Zaria", meaning "princess" or "radiance".
• Out-of-Character Alert: In "Forensic Kits", the two Doctor Horses find it strange that Twilight asks for coffee when they know she likes raspberry leaf tea with honey. They take it as a sign she's pregnant, as that can make one's tastes change.

Mariposa and Willa

• Composite Character: Sort of. They started out as two people, but after Willa died, Mariposa developed a Split Personality introject based on her.

Massimo Marcovaldo

• Papa Wolf: It's all but stated he was going to kill Giulia's supposed rapist.

Mickey

• Adaptational Name Change: His full name is given as Michael Disney.
• Benevolent Boss: Goes to bat for Miss Kitty and Jim Crow, a dancer and a comedian respectively who perform at his dinner theatre, when they're wrongfully arrested.
• Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Won't use language stronger than "darn it" even while arguing with a porn star.
• The Kindness of Strangers: He and Minnie, before Minnie becomes a group member, help Marian, a complete stranger who they find nearly naked on their tenth-floor balcony.

Minty Sakura

• Conditioned to Accept Horror: Initially doesn't see anything wrong with her life in the Ark. Kuzco snaps her out of it.
• Mysterious Past: Not much is known about her other than what we see of her interactions with Kuzco and that at some point she was in the same warehouse as Silver and Daisy.

Monika

• Adaptational Heroism: Miles nicer than her video game counterpart and openly regards the other girls as her friends and makes no mention of attempting to murder them out of jealously. She is also an extremely supportive girlfriend to GIFfany.
• Deadpan Snarker: Monika has quite the mouth when she wants to.
• Mythology Gag: She mentions having a dream where she became a creepypasta villain, alluding to what she pretty much is in canon.
• Official Couple: She's GIFfany's girlfriend.
• Sherlock Scan: Nearly as good as Basil when it comes to picking up on things around her, to the point where some of her friends openly wonder if they are related.

Mr Kyuzo - "Dr Seapig"

Mushu

• Papa Wolf: A cousin variant; he's beyond pissed over what happened to Mulan and threatens to kill her assailants and dance on their graves.
• Related in the Adaptation: He's Mulan's older cousin here.

The Octonauts

• Groin Attack: In "Kits", Tweak is seen being treated for a broken pelvis and "straddle injury", which is basically a very hard hit to the groin. It's not played for laughs, as Katara warns her she could have permanent scarring and nerve damage.
• Mercy Kill: After being assaulted, Shellington is in so much pain that he begs Peso to kill him. Peso refuses and calls an ambulance for him.

The pets

• Adaptation Species Change: Most of them are changed to something more convenient for city life, e.g. Angus the horse becoming a large dog, Waddles the pig becoming a hairless guinea pig, etc. Most of them; Sven is still a reindeer (stolen from a petting zoo), and Taz is still a Tasmanian devil (rescued from Giovanni's animal smuggling op). Fantastical pets become real animals, too - Toothless and Blazey the dragons, Stitch and Albrekh the aliens (the latter of whom is based on a chimpanzee in canon), and GIR the robot are dogs, Pikachu and Raichu are chinchillas, Trogdor the dragon is a bearded dragon, and Tunip the Vegimal is a rabbit - though it's debatable whether this applies to Kyle.
• Adaptational Nonsapience - Some of them are based on Mons that spoke their own unintelligible language, but they're closer to simple animals here (though they do have limited abstract thought and understand their owners), such as Stitch, the various Pokemon, and Albrekh. Gir, Luna, and Artemis, in particular, spoke English in their source material and play it straight here as a normal dog and normal cats.
• Bad People Abuse Animals: God's Will First members kill Bub while kidnapping Mitch and his friends, and Madame Medusa live-feeds her tegu (which is something of a grey area, but the writer responsible is British and live-feeding with vertebrate prey is more widely considered cruel there).
• Canine Companion: Several characters have well-loved and loyal dogs.
• Creepy Hairless Animal: Averted; Waddles the skinny pig is harmless and adorable, though he freaks out Uncle Stan.
• Death by Adaptation: Ratigan kills Toby, Qrow kills Felicia while rescuing Ruby, Pussywillow has to be put down after stomping Marie's assailant to death, and Rumple Kitty Kat is eaten by "the Tatzelwurm".
• Deathbringer the Adorable: Gir is named after an attempt to spell a growling sound and Zim talks about him like a case of Beware of Vicious Dog, but he's actually a rather dopey puggle puppy.
• Did Not Think This Through: The Simpsons still obtain Stampy in this world, and it doesn't go very well here either.
• Dogs Love Being Praised: The Ark's guard dogs stop thinking of Fluttershy as prey when she picks off their fleas and calls them good dogs.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Ratigan adores Felicia, and Cassidy is very worried when the coypu that her and Butch's Raticate became in this AU is injured.
• From Stray to Pet: Toothless is a dog here who Hiccup befriended.
• Heroic Dog: Toby, Toothless, and Bub at least attempt to be, though Toothless is the only one that survives and none of them succeed. Pussywillow, although a horse, protects Max and Marie from some boys from a rival riding school, but it gets deconstructed when he accidentally kills one boy, leading to him getting euthanized.
• Housepet Pig: Averted with Waddles, who becomes a hairless guinea pig. Played straight with Fat Nuggets, and Hansel buys Junichi an actual pig as a seeing-eye animal because Junichi fears dogs.
• Insistent Terminology: Trogdor's full name is Trogdor The Burninator Strong and Strong Bad gets annoyed when the full title isn't used.
• Kick the Dog: Possibly literally, Chimchar is an affenpinscher here and all but stated to be abused by his previous owners.
• Meaningful Name: Rather than an acronym, "Gir", here a real dog, is named after Zim's attempt to spell "grr" in a Nightmare Fuel Coloring Book childhood drawing of Red and Purple being eaten by a dog.
• Pet Dress-Up: Wilhelmina calls out Strong Bad for Supergluing toy wings onto his pet lizard Trogdor.
• Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Averted; Brutus and Nero (tegu, here) are just lazy, carnivorous, and uninterested in human interaction, which is pretty normal for lizards, though it scares Myrtle. Similarly, Squirtle, Blastoise, and Trogdor are nothing less than beloved pets, and Blue doesn't blame Red's lizard for eating his pet rat years ago because that's normal carnivore behaviour.
• Unusual Pets for Unusual People: A lot of the animals aren't the standard dog or cat. Hairless guinea pigs and tegu fall into the category of "uncommon but reasonable", while the unreasonable ones include a Tasmanian devil, a nutria, and a full-grown African elephant.
• Your Tomcat Is Pregnant: Happens twice, with Pabu and Pikachu, and inverted with Artemis who's revealed to not be female when he impregnates Luna.

Pigsy and Tang

• Apologizes a Lot: Tang keeps apologizing for his and Pigsy's relationship problems during their therapy appointment.
• Education Mama: Tang's parents pressured him to do well in school and used Corporal Punishment when he didn't.
• Papa Wolf: Pigsy is understandably untrustworthy of Jasper and refuses to hire her because he doesn't want her working near MK.
• Mistaken for Cheating: Part of the reason Tang didn't tell Pigsy about Ratigan abusing him was that he was afraid Pigsy would think he was having an affair. Thankfully, Pigsy didn't see it that way when MK told him what happened.

Po

• Acrofatic: It's implied he's as fat as ever, but he's a pretty good fighter.
• Adaptational Job Change: Like the Furious Five, he's a police officer in this universe.
• Friend to All Children: He's very kind to the kids that come in for statements.
• Implied Love Interest: It's implied that the something may be going on between Po and Tigress, but nothing is confirmed.
• Nice Guy: As nice as ever, as shown during his talk with Wilhelmina where he makes no comment on her being Transgender and sounds happy about her and Wallace's relationship.

The priest

• Good Shepherd: When he finds out that the previous priest abused Tom, he tells his parents.

Private and Rico

• The Baby of the Bunch: Private's the youngest amongst Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico, and although he's in his mid-twenties, Skipper's still very protective of him and kept his assault a secret from him.
• Child Soldier: As revealed in "Friends", Rico was a child soldier, although he doesn't elaborate on it.
• It's a Long Story: Rico simply writes down "LONG STORY" when Skipper and Kowalski ask about him being a child soldier.
• No Full Name Given: Rico does not have a last name.

Riley's family

• Armor-Piercing Question: Sadness gets one in when explaining to Geumsaegi that having been a Torture Technician doesn't necessarily mean he's incapable of empathy:
  "Do you feel for those people now, Mr Hwang?"
• Cool Uncle: The emotions, in human form, are Riley's aunts and uncles, and are all awesome.
• Good Parents: Riley's parents are totally supportive and make an effort to remember their new pronouns.
• Meaningful Name: Joy is still named Joy. Sadness is Dolores, meaning "sorrowful". Anger is Helmer, the meaning of which is given on some sites as "fury" or "warrior". Fear is Timothy, which sounds like "timorous". Disgust is Mara, meaning "bitter", about the closest human names get to the concept of disgust.
• Related in the Adaptation: Riley's emotions are their aunts and uncles in this verse.

The Robinsons

• Big Brother Mentor: Carl looks after Wilbur and really seems to care a lot about him.
• Secret-Keeper: For a while, Carl is this for Wilbur post-Ratigan... at least prior to "The Pioneer of Coming Times."
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The family went out while Wilbur was grounded, leaving him home alone which provided an opportunity for Ratigan and Goob to break into the house.

Rose Quartz

• Death by Childbirth: Dies giving birth to Steven as an analog to her giving up her physical form.
• For Want Of A Nail: She left Spinel, ruining her life and causing her to come to Calisota with the intention of harming Steven, then to assault Mirabel when she tries to turn Spinel in.
• The Kindness of Strangers: She finds and saves Ruby and Sapphire after they escape from the Ark.
• Posthumous Character: She died before the events of the story.

Salem Saberhagen

• Hollywood Satanism: Averted. He practices and has a Baphomet tattoo, but doesn't do anything truly evil. His being an anarchist caused more problems, as he was arrested for domestic terrorism when he and Discord tried to blow up a bridge.
• Papa Wolf: Was willing to break his house arrest and possibly get in more trouble with the cops (which did happen) in order to pick up Sabrina after she'd been assaulted.
• Related in the Adaptation: Here he's a human and Sabrina's uncle.
• We Used to Be Friends: Was friends with Discord until the latter took a plea deal when they both got arrested.
• Worth It: He makes it clear to Sabrina when she visits him in prison after his rearrest that he doesn't regret helping her whatsoever.

Sapphire Shores and Photo Finish

• Adaptational Name Change: Sapphire Shaw and Ada Scholz.
• Good Parents: They raised Courtney well and rush to help her when she tells them she was assaulted.
• Related in the Adaptation: They're Courtney's adoptive mothers.

Sariatu and Hanzo

• Spared by the Adaptation: Hanzo isn't killed here, though not for a lack of trying on the Sisters' and the Moon King's part.

Scrooge McDuck

• Cool Old Guy: Doesn't get much cooler than helping take down a sex trafficking ring.
• Enemy Mine: He and Glomgold still don't really get along, but are working together for the time being in order to stop the Ark.
• My God, What Have I Done?: When he learns what happened to Glomgold after getting him arrested, Scrooge is legitimately horrified by what he indirectly caused.

Sidney Poindexter

• Driven to Suicide: Shot himself after being raped.
• Homophobic Hate Crime: He was raped for being gay.
• Posthumous Character: He's already dead, having killed himself nearly thirty years prior when he was in high school and his younger brother Crocker was eleven.

Spike

• The Stoner: His idea of helping Robbie is giving him pot.

Stanley Pines

• Action Survivor: He escaped the Ark.
• Mythology Gag: After learning that Bill raped Ford on top of being the reason Mabel was assaulted, Stan swears he's going to kill him. He was the one who killed Bill in canon.
• Papa Wolf: An uncle variant; when he learns what happens to Mabel, he beats the people who raped her to death and also chews out the cop who tried to blame her for messaging them. He also tried to confront Mermando for talking to Mabel due to him looking older than he actually is, but changes his mind when Mermando explains what happened to him.

Toph Beifong

• Character Death: Dies at the age of 85 in "Many Ways To Say It".
• Cool Old Gal: Not as much of a badass as she was in canon but she's still intimidating enough to put the fear of god into a station full of police officers.
• Mama Bear: Well, Grandmama Bear anyway. She goes ballistic on the officers at the station, even before she knows they hurt Huan.

Uncle Remus

• Related in the Adaptation: Brer Rabbit's a human here, and Remus actually is his uncle.

The Vampair

• Adaptational Career Change: Missi is an author, writer of Nightfall.
• Related in the Adaptation: They're Vinnie Stoker's parents.

Warren Worthington

• No Medication for Me: Starts to believe he's Archangel Raphael when off his meds for too long.

Wendy Richfield

• Protectorate: Her father's. Not a good thing here because he takes If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her... way too far.

The Zircons

• Good Lawyers, Good Clients: Blue Zircon helped Kitty Katswell after she got accused of raping Dudley (which was actually committed by her Evil Twin sister Katty) and Lori after Lola's False Rape Accusation still had to go to trial even when Lola retracted it.

Other characters

Ambrosius Goldenloin

• Adaptation Name Change: His name is changed to Ambrose.
• Related Differently in the Adaptation: He's Gloreth's uncle instead of her descendant.

Angel Dust

• Adaptational Name Change: In this universe, his name is Anthony Martin Tessaro.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: Actually appears to be taking redemption seriously and speaks very highly of Charlie's skills with helping people, outright recommending her services to Jessie, James and Meowth, when in canon he treated the whole thing like a big joke.
• Agony of the Feet: When he appears in "Statements", he's making a report about Valentino's thugs assaulting him and smashing the bones in both his feet.
• Eye Scream: Valentino's goons also stabbed one of his eyes out.
• Morality Pet: Charlie and, to a lesser extent, Vaggie.
• Mythology Gag: His middle name being Martin here may allude to the fact that was going to be his first name before it was changed since the creators of the show didn't like how it sounded for him.
• Questionable Consent: Legally it wouldn't count as consent, but he doesn't seem very bothered by the crooked cops extracting sexual favours from him in exchange for not arresting him.

Aunt Sarah

• Innocent Inaccurate: Like Gru, she didn't know how the adoption process is supposed to work and bought her daughters Si and Am from Miss Hattie's Home for Girls, which is a front for the Ark.

Aurora

• Conditioned to Accept Horror: She was born and raised in the Ark and genuinely believes this is a way of life, and is so well trained they allow her to go find new clients (albeit with a tracking chip in her shoe).
• Innocent Inaccurate: Due to being raised by the Ark since she was a baby, she doesn't understand why people hate them so much.
• Token Good Teammate: While she technically isn't a member of the Ark, she's an angel in comparison to everyone else.

Baatar Jr.

• Big Brother Instinct: Oddly enough given everything that happens, but the "Hypocrites" intermission notes him as having this towards Huan, worrying over his underage drinking and drug use with Julien and Naveen when they were younger, especially after Julien was attacked by God's Will First.
• My God, What Have I Done?: He was horrified by what the crooked cops did to his brother after he called them.

Ben Solo

• Aborted Arc: As the author who added him and the other Star Wars characters quit, it's unlikely the rest of his story will be told outside the side stories.
• Creepy Uncle: His uncle Snoke sexually abused him.

Buck Cluck

• Ambiguous Situation: It's unclear if him giving Chicken Little the Palace card was an attempt at making up for his neglect or for not believing him about him getting raped. Or both.
• Parental Neglect: Like canon, he ignored his son Chicken Little.

The Calisota Mafia (Vito Bigg, Giovanni Viridiana, Don Lino, Bruno Grimaldi, Lucius Hennessy, formerly the Lucias, Bo Baxter)

For Giovanni's appearance at the Palace, please check With Pearl And Ruby Glowing Water Of The Womb.

• Adaptational Name Change: Some are given slightly more realistic names; the Lucitors become the Lucias, and the Heinouses become the Hennessys.
• The Dreaded: All of them, especially Giovanni and Bigg, have a well-deserved reputation to the point where even other criminals are afraid of them.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Bigg with Fru Fru and formerly Nadine, Giovanni with Silver, Lino had Frankie and still has Lennie, Grime has Sasha, and Lucius does love Beezy, for all his faults.
• Honor Among Thieves: Bigg pays DW's medical bills in thanks for her comforting Nadine in her last days, and Lucius is determined not to repeat his father's abuse on Beezy.
• Odd Name Out: Lucius is the only one without an Italian name. Justified in that he's not Italian.
• Papa Wolf: Bigg is both this and grandpapa wolf regarding FruFru and Nadine (here his granddaughter). It's more ambiguous with Don Lino, but one of Lenny's main concerns about telling his father what happened is that he'll either start a Mob War in revenge or kill him over what happened to his brother, both would technically make Lino an example. Grime is also this according to Sasha, though it's not shown directly and she's probably more dangerous than he is. It's implied that this is at least part of the reason for Lucius not wanting his father around near Beezy.
• Reformed Criminal: The Lucias (Lucitors) quit and went into legitimate business after Giovanni's son Silver was kidnapped, fearing it was done by a rival family and the same thing could happen to Tom.
• You Don't Look Like You: The writers noticed Bo Baxter's appearance changes every time he appears on the show, and gave him illegal connections as a reason to regularly intentionally change it.

Chalice

• Adaptational Name Change: Her name here is Alice.
• Posthumous Character: She doesn't seem fully aware she's dead, but she shows the boys her own corpse in the Ark warehouse's freezer.
• Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: She teaches the boys to dance provocatively and flirt with adults, saying that's how she gets them to let her do what she wants.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Her bringing the boys into the abandoned cookie factory led to them finding a dead body, going to the cops about it, and then getting arrested and it's highly unlikely that was her plan.

Constance Nebbercracker

• Disabled in the Adaptation: She's alive after her fall but suffered brain damage.
• Obliviously Evil: She badly hurts Horace, physically and sexually, and has done so frequently over decades, but her brain damage is so bad that she genuinely doesn't realise what she's doing.
• Spared by the Adaptation: She's alive, albeit badly intellectually disabled after head trauma from her fall.

Cree Lincoln

• Blood Knight: The entire reason she's trying out for the football team is because she wants to tackle people.
• Innocently Insensitive: During the football tryouts, when everyone is questioning about why the entire football team was kicked off, she starts cracking jokes about it in front of Coach Collins, who got rid of the team due them raping his son.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She makes a few insensitive comments at tryouts, but she also hits it off very well with Patsy when they realize they aren't the only girls trying out and she only made jokes about what happened with the football team because she didn't know what happened.

Dexter

• Adaptation Name Change: "Dexter" appears to be his last name here.
• Last-Name Basis: Lisa Simpson refers to him as "Dexter", but "Loose Lips" indicates that it's his last name.
• Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: He repeated his sexual abuse from Ratigan on Lisa Loud.

Doris

• Adaptational Heroism: Sort of, she's just as angry and vengeful as she was in the movie but she kind of has a reason to be, here.
• Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Not evil exactly, but her time as a Sex Slave did very little for her sanity. She seems happy with the idea of Goob murdering everyone who hurt them in revenge.
• The Lost Lenore: Is this to Goob; they had a relationship during their time in the Ark, and she died, leaving behind him and a son.
• Missing Mom: Past-Goob is hers and Future-Goob's son in this verse and she's missing on account of being murdered by the Ark years before.

Duncan's parents

• Abusive Parents: They were neglectful towards Duncan for being a delinquent (and are also implied to be the reason he became one in the first place), didn't notice anything unusual about him focusing on school more (which was because Duncan's parole officer assaulted him in exchange for not reporting his attack on Courtney's assailants), and according to Mr. Yut in Part 4, they threatened to beat him with a belt at a parent-teacher conference.
• Bothering by the Book: In a Shout-Out to Leftover Soup in "Cop's Daily Life", Duncan's dad puts Copper in a Morton's Fork situation regarding taking his found gun home, since carrying it in his hands would count as illegally brandishing it but he's not allowed to borrow a holster or leave the gun unattended.
• Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off!: They threated to beat him with a belt following a parent-teacher conference.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: Duncan's dad keeps misgendering Wilhelmina when she calls him and Vachir to the vet to deal with an intoxicated Pinkie Pie and Julien. Additionally, he also implies that Vinnie, a fourteen year old, is too young to be "experimenting" with his sexuality when Vinnie mentions his boyfriend.

Durland and Blubs

• Bigot with a Badge: Durland's not evil, just a moron, but his tendency to side with white people over non-whites has caused other people problems.
• Police Are Useless: Like canon, they're still not great cops. While they were looking for Rattlesnake Jake, they confront the Moo Mesa boys and treat them harshly without telling them what they're being accused of, and even after realizing they're innocent they still don't tell them.
• Some of My Best Friends Are X: Durland insists in his head that he can't be that racist since he works with black and Hispanic/Latino officers and is even dating Blubs. That doesn't stop him from being suspicious of Noah, who is Indian, and believing Amity and Chip because they're white while Luz and Gloria aren't.

Fifi LaFume

The Gorillaz

• Bilingual Bonus: Noodle's speech on arrival at Kong translates roughly to "Hello, master. Please forgive your unworthy purchase for any inconvenience. Doctor Seapig found it convenient to call me Noodle."
• Hypocrite: Murdoc is distressed when he finds out how horrifically Noodle was abused, but it's implied he's been raping 2D.
• Morality Chain: It's implied Noodle's disappearance made Murdoc snap, hence breaking his prior standards and dealing with the Ark to find a replacement he can force to fully replace her.

The guardian fairies

• Composite Character: Technically. They're a Dissociative Identity Disorder system, with Azura as the host and the others as separate personalities.

Hordak

• Adaptational Name Change: His name becomes Hector here.
• Rape as Backstory: Maybe, stands out among other examples for being one of the few unclear examples. Scorpia's story features a cameo from Not-Hordak who mentions something about Abusive Parents.
• Mistaken for Pedophile: Due to Entrapta's youthful appearance, people thought that she was younger than Hordak and that he had tricked her into dating him when it was actually a consensual relationship.

I.M.P.

• Adaptational Nationality: In canon the imps live in Hell, but are somewhat American-coded and based on Christian folklore. Here, they live in India.
• Lack of Empathy: Blitzo doesn't even fully understand what empathy is, thinking it's something only parents have for their children, since Loona is his Chosen Person.
• Pet the Dog: After fighting with Muffin Heeler over a Moonlight Unicorn auction and overhearing her yell about her genital operation, Blitzo sends Stripe a link to another auction of the same toy and a site selling stand-to-pee devices.
• Punny Name: In canon, Moxxie's full name is shown in a Freeze-Frame Bonus to be "Moxxie Knolastname". Here his full name is Moti Benaam - "benaam" means "nameless" in Hindi.
• Type Caste: Blitzo is Shudra and Loona is Dalit.

Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite and Kunzite

• Adaptational Gender Identity: Zoisite is a trans girl, based on how she was male in the original but became female in the dub version.
• Trans Tribulations: The corrupt cops called the transgender Zoisite "Ladyboy" and it's implied that her being trans is why Mr. Sir abused her more often than the others at Camp Green Lake.

Jack Sparrow

• Bystander Syndrome: Lori accuses him of having this. Jack admits that while it might be true, there really was nothing he could do to stop the cops from assaulting her.
• Everyone Has Standards: As pissed as he was that Ragetti betrayed him, he's horrified when he learns just what happened to Ragetti in prison, which was miles above anything that happened to him.
• Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing: When imprisoned, Jack just goes with the cops raping him, both because he knows that resisting gets him nowhere and because he knows that the cops want him to fight back so that they can have more enjoyment in raping him.

Leland Hawkins

• Commitment Issues: Walked out on his wife and kid.
• Defiant to the End: Fights back against the cops who assault him, which unfortunately results in his death.
• Disappeared Dad: Walked out when Jim was eight.
• Fingore: In reference to the Leit Motif, the cops "break his fingers to splinters".
• Parental Neglect: He doesn't seem to have been a great parent even when he was present.
• Teen Pregnancy: He and Sarah were only eighteen and seventeen when they had Jim, and Leland at least clearly wasn't ready, if he ever would have been.

Lock, Shock, and Barrel

• Adaptational Name Change: Their names are now Locke, Shockley, and Barry.
• Innocent Inaccurate: Very extreme version; they were trained by their previous carer into performing sex acts, and now assume this is normal behavior for children.
• Nightmare Fetishist: They're overjoyed when they find out they need to have blood samples taken and enthusiastic about discussing physical injuries.
• Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: They know a lot of violent and sexual things that children their age shouldn't know, and they "help" Victor when has a physical reaction while dreaming about his girlfriends.
• Unusual Euphemism: When they ask adults if they need "help," it's a code for performing sexual acts, as that was the euphemism their previous carer used when abusing them.

Lucius VI

• Abusive Parents: Abuses Lucius VII. Emotionally and sexually. It's all but stated that his own father was the same.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: In a weird way he seems to care about his family. He's civil enough with Beezy at least.
• Freudian Excuse: He abused his son because his own father was the same to him.
• The Irish Mob: Was involved with this until Lucius VII took over the outfit by teaming up with Tom's parents.

Malachite

• Adaptation Name Change: Lapis and Jasper call her "Malika."
• The Grotesque: She's an innocent baby who dies from disfiguring birth defects.
• Death of a Child: She suffers massive birth defects and dies before she's a week old.

Maxie

• False Confession: He confessed to the murder of Leaf to protect the real killer.
• Related in the Adaptation: He's Blue Oak's father, and presumably Professor Oak's son.

Meilin Lee and friends

• Adaptational Gender Identity: Mei is intersex as an analog for her red panda form.
• Girls With Mustaches: As an analog to her red panda form, Meilin grows facial hair due to being intersex.
• Huge Schoolgirl: Mei is going through masculine puberty due to an intersex condition, and is getting bigger and stronger than most young girls because of it.
• True Companions: Much like canon, the girls stick together no matter what.

Molly Grue

• "Not So Different" Remark: Makes a comment about Haggard acting a bit too similarly as the Cluster B he claims are Always Chaotic Evil.
• Trapped in Villainy: Haggard forced her to care for his lobotomised victims.
• You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You: She admits that she never reported Haggard for lobotomizing and keeping people with Cluster B disorders in his submarine because nobody would have believed her.

Poe Dameron

Poopsie unicorns

• Baby Talk: They intentionally swap Ls and Rs for Ws and use childish euphemisms for bad things (such as calling death "foweba sweepies").
• Emotional Regression: They're four or five years old and intentionally play up baby talk and refuse to be potty-trained because Molly told them Haggard doesn't hurt babies and it backfired.
• Parental Abandonment: Haggard killed their parents.
• Shout-Out: Their speech patterns are based on Fluffspeak.

Sci-Twi

• Agony of the Feet: She had horseshoes nailed into the bottom of her feet, which have been there for so long that her skin grew around them.
• Drink-Based Characterization: One of the earliest signs that she's not Twilight is her asking for coffee instead of tea. She apparently takes it black, further contrasting her with the real Twilight who likes hers sweetened with lots of honey.
• Lesser of Two Evils: She admits that she knew that impersonating Twilight was a bad idea, but considering that the other option was to remain as Cozy Glow's "horse", she felt being with Blueblood was safer.
• The Tooth Hurts: Some of her teeth were removed in order for Cozy Glow to fit the bit and bridle in her mouth.
• Younger Than They Look: She passed herself off as the adult Twilight, but she's actually only about fourteen.

Shifu

• My God, What Have I Done?: After finding out about the police corruption from the news, he's horrified with himself for not believing Tai Lung about him being raped by the dirty cops.

Shirong

Simon Petrikov

• Dirty Old Man: Tragic variation; his Alzheimer's renders him incapable of realising he's behaving inappropriately.
• Posthumous Character: Elphaba doesn't tell her story until after he dies, so he won't suffer any consequences for behaviour he couldn't help.

The Simpsons

• Dumbass Has a Point: When Lisa dismisses the idea that Ratigan would have molested a female child, Homer points out that Ratigan could have been playing up his Camp Gay traits as a distraction, since he fooled everyone about his true nature already. He's right; Ratigan didn't touch Lisa Simpson, but did hurt Lisa Loud, who looks a lot more like a boy.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Lisa towards Lisa Loud, who she bitterly thinks of as "better Lisa". She's easily manipulated by Ratigan into bullying and ignoring Lisa Loud because of this.

The Sinclairs

• Adaptational Name Change: Baby Sinclair is named after Earl here instead of literally being named "Baby".
• Afraid of Needles: Baby fears needles, despite not being able to feel them; babies can sometimes pick up fears from people around them even if the thing has never harmed them.
• Feel No Pain: Baby is diagnosed with CIP, which actually causes problems since it results in him chewing his fingers enough to draw blood. Doc Hudson suggests the Truth in Television preventative method of pulling all his baby teeth out; Fran's not happy.
• Foreshadowing: Doc Hudson mentions Naloxone as a treatment for Baby's CIP, a medication which blocks endorphins. In Part 4, Naloxone is used in a torture scene to prevent Smartass tuning out the pain.
• His Name Really Is "Barkeep": Averted; Baby is named Earl Junior here, since a human society would probably look askance at a baby actually being named Baby (to say nothing of "Aargh Aargh I'm Dying You Idiot").
• Like Father, Unlike Son: Robbie's a cerebral, socially-aware bisexual, while Earl is a somewhat homophobic blue-collar type.
• Major Injury Underreaction: Baby suffers from congenital pain insensitivity and is completely unconcerned about being dropped or biting his fingers till they bleed.

The Slades

• Comically Missing the Point: There's an entire side story devoted to the many ways they've missed that Qrow and Clover are in a relationship together.
• Dumbass Has a Point: Copper isn't the brightest bulb in the box, but he isn't wrong when he points to Duncan's dad that, by Bothering by the Book about his found gun, they are pretty much just going in a loop.
• Everyone Has Standards: Are extremely homophobic but it's stated that the corrupt cops leave all prisoners alone when any of the Slades are in for their assorted minor offenses because they're well-aware that the Slades wouldn't approve and not just out of homophobia; for all their faults, they see rape as rape and call it disgusting, something emphasized when Copper is outraged that Todd would claim Chief raped him when the other boy tries to tell his former best friend what happened to him after the beating.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: Chief beat the snot out of Todd after Copper outed him.
• Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Amos does what he can to help the Honey Bees when he finds them and is horrified by their condition.

The Sugar Rushers

• Alpha Bitch: Taffy seems to be the leader and Vanellope's primary bully, as in canon.
• Big Sister Instinct: Twisted variation with Minty who wants to make Jubileena feel better about the abuse they're both experiencing. The problem is that she does this by (unknowingly) abusing Dewey.
• Fille Fatale: Minty seduces Dewey.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Minty and Jubilee reacted with horror when their new adopted parents told them that they have abused Dewey.
• Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Minty and Jubilee urge Dewey into sex with them to deal with their own trauma.

Sour Kangaroo

• Jerkass: She thought Horton's talks about sexual abuse were scaring the kids and accused him of hurting her son when told about what Vlad did to him (which she regretted once Rudy confessed it really was Vlad). She also viewed Ena's meltdown at the grocery store as "attention seeking".
• Moral Guardians: She doesn't approve of Horton teaching the children sex education and uses it as an excuse to accuse him of molestation.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Implied to be very regretful about how she treated Horton once she realizes Vlad's true colors. For the most part, Horton is pretty forgiving.
• Obliviously Evil: She really does mean well, but her overprotection of Rudy is implied to have made it very easy for Vlad to get hold of him.

Tai Lung

• Cigarette Burns: He has several polka-dot scars on his arms from cigarettes being burned out on him.
• A Day in the Limelight: As the title implies, "Tai Lung's Prison Friends" has him as the starring character.
• My God, What Have I Done?: After assaulting Mako in a fit of anger, he's completely guilt-stricken.

Victor Delgado

• Doting Parent: He may be a wanted criminal, in the process of blackmailing his former friend, but that doesn't mean he can't take a moment to talk about his daughter.
• Everyone Has Standards: He was definitely planning to blackmail Esteban and in the past helped him attempt to usurp control of the family business, but he was also definitely not okay with the idea that he would use said blackmail to extort sexual favors.

The weasel family - Commander Weasel, Assistant Weasel, Aekku, Geomeunjogjebi, and One-Eye

For Geomeunjogjebi on his own, see With Pearl And Ruby Glowing Knots Of Nature

• Adaptational Name Change: Their surname is Ryoshi ("hunter"). Commander Weasel is Junji, Assistant Weasel is Itachi, Geomeunjogjebi is Gyeong, Aekku is A-hu, and One-Eye is Chieko.
• Camp Straight: Commander Weasel comes across as gay but is deeply in love with a woman. Assistant Weasel is the one who is actually gay.
• Eye Scream: Aekku is still one-eyed here as he is in canon. Here, his eye was gouged out in a fight.
• Fat and Proud: Aekku and Geomeunjogjebi gained a lot of weight after escaping North Korea, and A-hu likes being big.
• Half-Breed Angst / Half-Breed Discrimination: Aekku and Geomeunjogjebi are the result of their Japanese mother One-Eye being raped by North Korean men. Neither South Korea nor Japan respect them very much because all three nations hate each other, so Geomeunjogjebi came to America where he's simply perceived as "Asian" and the specifics don't matter.
• Mama Bear: One-Eye and her sons were only able to survive in the prison camp because she was ruthlessly protective and violent, fighting and betraying other prisoners for supplies and safety. Geomeunjogjebi had processed the guilt of being alive because his mother caused others' deaths, until the wounds were reopened by the issues with his one-time roommate Geumsaegi.
• Naïve Newcomer: Aekku and Geomeunjogjebi grew up in North Korea and are very unfamiliar with a lot of aspects of life outside it. Geomeunjogjebi is shocked to learn about dangerous sports.
• Transparent Closet: When Aekku comes out as gay, they admit that they already knew and even bet on when he was going to say so.

The Yawa Sisters

• Big Sister Bully: They tease Misty as much as they did in canon, made worse here by the theft of her clothes and the influence of their mother.
• Big Sister Instinct: That said, Violet threatens to kill Gromit if he did anything to hurt Misty and freaks out when she realizes the extent of her little sister's abuse.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Violet is a stereotypical Book Dumb valley girl... but she's strong enough to scare Gromit. Justified with her being a competitive swimmer.
• My God, What Have I Done?: They all regret being mean to Misty once they find out that their mother molested her and apologize to her for it.

Palace members that haven't told their stories yet

The Doll (unknown character)

The Living Dead Girl (Mackenzie Gibbs)

• Ambiguous Situation: It's not clear if her death from a drug overdose was an accident or if it was on purpose.
• But We Used a Condom!: Her daughter Boo was conceived due to the condom breaking when she had sex with her previous boyfriend, who walked out because he wasn't ready to be a dad.
• Canon Foreigner: Interesting case. While most characters in the fic are from pre-existing pieces of media, she's currently the only Original Character to be present and play a major role at a point.
• Deceased Parents Are the Best: Compared to Randall, Mackenzie was a far better parent to Boo.
