Basic Trope: A background/minor character that makes frequent appearances.
- Straight: Zachary is a character that makes frequent appearances in crowd shots, but rarely gets any lines and has very little importance to the plot.
- Exaggerated: There are a whole bunch of background characters that appear in every episode.
- Downplayed: Zachary is a minor character, but not necessarily a background character, and he makes a fair amount of appearances.
- Justified:
- The work takes place in a small village, so it would only make sense that the same few villagers would pop up every now and then.
- Bob, Gerald, Raoul, Morton and Zachery all need the 7:35 West - Central Subway to get to work on time.
- Inverted: ???
- Subverted: After numerous appearances, Zachary eventually joins the main cast of characters.
- Double Subverted: ???
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: Zachary occasionally gets A Day in the Limelight.
- Averted: There are no recurring extras.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: "Hey Zachary! Interesting that we never really get to meet him much, though."
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed: Though Zachary has no major role other than frequent appearances in crowd shots, he does has his own life and story outside the plot but lacks the confidence to join the main cast.
