Surprisingly Similar Characters / Troper Entries S-U

Salnax1

• This character comes from a world populated both by talking animals and humans. They are a genuinely nice guy who cares for their network of friends, but are just as notable for their flaws. For example, they are an infamously Big Eater, can be strikingly naive, and sometimes make decisions that baffle both peers and readers alike. Some of their friends include their longtime best buddy (a diminutive chew toy), a more caustic intellectual who still helps everyone out, and a Hot-Blooded newcomer who mellowed out after a while. This ensemble cast has actually overshadowed our hero art points, especially the hot head. People have also tied this character and their story to Taoist teachings. Is he Winnie the Pooh or Son Goku?
• This character had their debut in a piece of Japanese media that began in the 2010’s and eventually received an anime adaptation. She is a young, orphaned girl who grows up in a thinly veiled expy of 20th century Germany during a time of global conflict. The catch is that they have supernatural abilities. One day, their orphanage is visited by people working for the pseudo-German government, who want to scout children to help with their operations. Despite this character’s young age, she eagerly jumps at the opportunity. After a period of time, they get to attend a school in their world’s counterpart of Berlin. Part of the allure of this character’s story is the constant misunderstandings characters have about one another, including her. And of course, this character ends up getting into far too much danger for anyone who isn’t even a teenager yet. Is the global conflict she's living through a hot war or a cold war?

Sapphirea2

• This protagonist of a 1981 box-office sensation that went on to win at the Academy Awards — and has at least one poorly-received sequel — is larger-than-life. He's charismatic and witty; he could have stepped right out of a 1930s movie but has a modern edge. He practically defines his character type for a generation if not generations to come, and he and his movie will be memorably parodied by others (including The Critic). He has a plucky, feisty love interest and risks death itself to find his happy ending. He's played by an actor at the absolute pinnacle of his career. He has an iconic hat and wildly popular theme music. But is he Indiana Jones or Arthur Bach?

SavageBloodDragon

• She is a ridiculously powerful emotions-based heroine and is widely considered to be the most powerful member of her superhero team, with the ability to fly and shoot beams out of her hands. She is generally The Stoic with a bitingly sarcastic demeanor. She has daddy-issues with her primary father figure who wants her to follow in his villainous footsteps, while she doesn’t. This also frequently leads to her struggling with her own duality in being a half-human, half-demon/Kree hybrid. She also has a fondness for the color blue and likes to keep her hair short. Is she Captain Marvel or Raven from the Teen Titans?

ShonenTrash98He's a fifteen year-old with no magical power whatsoever, letting him manifest a dreaded power to cancel others' magic and negate spells. He has a strong sense of justice, helping anyone in need and courageously fighting strong enemies. His strong moral uprightness inspires those around him to become better people, even enemies. His good nature has led him to receive the romantic attention of quite a few women. Is he Asta or Touma Kamijou?

Signore Mc Schneider

• There's a blonde and a brunette. The blonde hates the brunette because he feels the blonde's ancestor gave something up to the brunette's ancestor, is belligerent in general, and swears he'll never be the brunette's second banana, while the brunette is a Lovable Coward, a goofball, and a Classical Anti-Hero, but nonetheless has the potential to unlock the same power or even greater than his ancestor. Are these two Caesar Zeppeli and Joseph Joestar or Terry Kenyon and Kid Muscle?
• A trio of Humanoid Abominations ruled the Earth thousands, if not millions, of years ago. They have powers beyond mankind's understanding, and were sealed away, until one of them was released in the present day by certain humans interested in their power, setting in motion the release of the entire group. Are they the Pillar Men or the Inhumanoids?

Silverblade2

• A snarky bisexual horned demon in a sharp suit who owns a club, solves crimes and loves singing in public. He also has psychic powers that allow him to read people's desires. His estranged family who resides in a different world disapproves his affection for humans. Is he Lucifer Morningstar or Lorne

Starts a sexual relationship with someone else who love her, but does not return his feelings -only using sex as a way to finally feel something again. Is this Monet St. Croix in X-Factor, or season 6 Buffy Summers?

Skootz 524

• An Ambiguously Human female with bangs covering one eye, an association with ducks, the power to warp into other games, first appears as a supporting character in another series, gets captured by a MegaCorp, and seemingly gets killed off in an attempt to retrieve something but is now in another world. Now, is this character a computer virus or an artificial human?

SkaarjWarrior99

• She is an girl who serves the enemy leader until a change of heart occured after getting convinced by a main character causing the character to stand against him/her. Later, the character becomes the ruler of a kingdom once the conflict was ended. Bonus, they're voice by the same seiyuu. Am I talking about Valkyrie or Towa Akagi/Cure Scarlet?

SkyCat32

• He had a strained relationship with his police officer father. He was intelligent and superficially charming. He kills an accomplice when he's done with her. He affirms his identity once he is revealed, giving a long rant and raising his voice when caught. He dies at the hands of the same thing that allowed him to kill people. Am I Talking about Kieran Wilcox or Light Yagami?
• He is a Small Name, Big Ego gangster. He shoots a foodservice worker for no good reason. He also kills a made man. As a result of these actions he is murdered by gangsters. Am I talking about Tommy DeVito or Tony Dogs?

SlargTheGnome

• A brilliant but ruthless Child Prodigy with severe older brother issues is orchestrating a war against a race of nonhuman creatures in a world far away from his home. However, this whole time he doesn't realize he's killing actual living things and figures the whole thing is just a big computer simulation. It isn't until immediately after the final battle that decides the war (and ends with a big explosion) that he's informed the entire thing was real. He is horrified to learn this and promptly goes into an Angst Coma lasting several days. Some time later, he feels the strange compulsion to go off in search of something and eventually finds what he was looking for: an egg containing the infant form of one of the creatures he terrorized, who will eventually grow into a powerful insectoid. He spends the rest of the series trying to atone for the atrocities he committed while taking the insectoid creature with him everywhere he goes. At some point when he was very young, he had something very painfully implanted in the back of his neck.
  Ender Wiggin or Ken Ichijouji?
• This Anti-Villain from a classic and revered video game begins as a young boy whose Start of Darkness is the tragic loss of his older sister, whom he idolizes. Thousands of years later, he has become the extremely powerful and magic-wielding leader of an organization that violently antagonizes humans, but is in fact only manipulating said organization for his own ends out of an obsessive need to reunite with his sister. When he finally regains contact with her, she rejects him, believing herself incapable of being rightfully saved. He has both a younger and older persona, and the fact that they are the same person is considered the story's major reveal.
  Magus or Yggdrasill?

• Two twin brothers with themed names and differing personalities are separated from each other at a young age after their family is broken up. After being severely injured and nearly dying (actually, he ''may'' have died) due to recklessness, the older twin is abducted by the Big Bad and Brainwashed/Reforged into a Minion, becoming his most feared and powerful enforcer. The younger twin, while unaware of this, is having problems of his own, as he is attempting to cope with the loss of his mother. Both twins have the same special powers and Chosen One status, meaning they must repeatedly face off against one another to determine the fate of the rapidly decaying world despite being only children, though the younger twin at least has his True Companions (including at least one Non-Human Sidekick) to help him out. However, the twins spend the majority of this time unaware of their relation to one another, as the older twin has had his memories suppressed and has a different appearance and identity (which comes with, among other things, a Cool Sword and big black wings). Also, given what happened to him at the start of the story, it's unclear how "alive" the older twin actually is. At any rate, the younger twin doesn't learn just whom he's been fighting until their final confrontation and is at least initially unable to fight due to the revelation. Meanwhile, thanks to the urging of a disembodied female voice, the older twin's memories (particularly of his mother) are resurfacing and destabilizing him. While their fight ends with the younger twin finally freeing his brother, thus ensuring the salvation of the world, the story ends with the older twin dying by his own hand... though admittedly the stories differ on whether the death sticks.
  Are the twins named Lucas and Claus or Koji and Koichi?

She's a Base-Breaking Character, as intended by the Trolling Creator. Her feats include killing people on flimsy reasoning, dying (but getting better thanks to another character's Story-Breaker Power), and fighting a dumbass Eldritch Abomination by controlling thousands of people from alternate universes.

    Is the character Vriska Serket or Taylor Hebert?

Snowsky

• A blue-blooded prince of the sea who loves to dress in fancy clothes, specializes in a long-range weapon, and spends most of his time on land, despite being proud of his sea-dwelling heritage. Because of his pompous, self-absorbed attitude, he is not liked very much by the people around him, but he wants to be respected and, deeper down, to have someone care about him. He makes a Face–Heel Turn in a bid to gain power, killing two innocent people in the process, but is punished for his crimes by being horribly mutilated.

  Eridan Ampora or Theon Greyjoy?

  Nepeta Leijon or Numbuh Three / Kuki Sanban?
• A beautiful but emotionless and ice-cold young woman who is a Serial Killer and slaughters without remorse, but on very rare occasions can show sympathy for a would-be victim. As a child, she was a sweet and innocent young girl, but was tormented and ostracized by the people around her, who treated her like a freak. After she was seemingly betrayed by her Only Friend, her Start of Darkness began when her powers awakened and she killed her tormentors in a brutal fashion.
  Lucy or Enma Ai?
• A leader of a special-forces team from a Cartoon Network show who wears red as their theme color, has Cool Shades, and sports a British accent. They have a stoic, level-headed demeanor, are highly dedicated to their job of protecting innocents, and are the Only Sane Man of their team, being the one to keep their comrades on track more often than not. They care about the members of their team more than anything else and on occasion will let down their cool facade to show a more playful side. They have also been to space multiple times.
  Garnet or Numbuh One / Nigel Uno?
• He is 14 years old, brown-haired, and his name starts with the letter "S". He and his guardians are tasked with defending Earth from an extraterrestrial threat that turns out to be not that different from the human race itself. He has a Missing Mom who was reincarnated as a completely different person, and his life (as well as his guardian's) is adversely affected by her absence. Despite his talents and accomplishments, he has many doubts about himself and his ability to live up to the expectations his guardians have of him. One of the most prominent figures in his life is a hedonistic Cool Big Sis who acts confident and carefree to cover her own insecurities. Along his journey, he helps an alien to understand humanity and a Shy Blue-Haired Girl to come out of her shell. In the end (or close enough to it), he decides that, despite what everyone else around him wants him to be, the only person who can decide who he wants to be is himself.

  Edna Mode or Otome Saotome?
• A big, strong teenage boy who loves animals and owns a pet rabbit. Despite his large size, he is friendly and rather timid. He is mostly a background character in his series.

With encouragement from a female classmate, he does so successfully.
  Koji Kouda or DJ?
• A very short teenage boy who is most known for being a Casanova Wannabe and unsuccessfully hitting on various girls, to no avail. He is also a pain magnet and tends to get hurt a lot for the audience's amusement. Supposedly, he is very intelligent, but this trait of his is not shown very often, although he has demonstrated impressive cunning more than once when backed into a corner. In particular, he seems to be attracted to an Aloof Dark-Haired Girl who has violently rejected his advances multiple times, though he keeps trying to hit on her.
  Minoru Mineta or Cody?
• Seven daughters of an Omnicidal Maniac and Evil Overlord, whose names all follow a pattern of starting with the letter "A", born to do their father's bidding and wreak destruction upon the land.

  SCP-999 (according to this Foundation Tale) or Goodra?
• This playful, purple-clad superhero stars in a Cartoon Network show. Their main power is to shapeshift into various forms in order to take their enemies down, and their transformed state always matches their unusual skin color. They're goofy, fun-loving, and rarely take things seriously, always looking to have a good time. They function as an Annoying Younger Sibling to the more serious-minded members of their team, who love them but are always trying to get them to be more mature. But despite being a major source of comic relief, they have their own insecurities deep down, and it's suggested that their silly nature is something of a front to cover up their own doubts and fears.
  Beast Boy or Amethyst?
• This male Bug-type Pokémon, belonging to a commonly-found three-stage species, was unlucky enough to have endured horrendous suffering while in his cocoon stage. As soon as he evolved, he became an Ax-Crazy Omnicidal Maniac poised to Take Over the World.

Despite being very dangerous, he has a cute, harmless-sounding nickname.
  Dusty the Dustox or Pikachu the Beedrill?

  Centorea Shianus or Darkness / Dustiness Ford Lalatina?
• A bubbly, cheery, Fun Personified, child-like character with a pink color scheme. Her purpose in life is to make everyone laugh and have fun. Her movements and mannerisms are very cartoony even by the standards of her series.

Despite her goofy, fun-loving nature, she can be surprisingly competent and even dangerous.
  Pinkie Pie or Spinel?
• A teenaged Disney protagonist whose most visible accessory is a pair of green glasses. They are perceived negatively by their family for having some physical flaw, but in spite of that, they want their family's approval more than anything.

When they see a sign of impending disaster, they attempt to warn their community about it, but their attempt falls on deaf ears and they're accused of being a troublemaker. In the climax, they save the day and finally receive the love of their family for their efforts. Outside of the movie, one of their older family members is reviled by at least a subset of fans for being an uncaring parental figure. Their movie itself came out during a period when Disney was perceived to be going through a slump.

Spottedleaf

• This feline is considered an outcast among her peers- a large group of cats who seem to have reverence for the night sky. With her matted gray fur and old age, she's far from beautiful, and she has a bad reputation. Despite this, she's truly just misunderstood, and she eventually does find acceptance. Is she Grizabella the Glamour Cat or Yellowfang?

  The Ender Dragon or Guzzlord^note learns Sludge Bomb by TM?

They are both Knights of Cerebus and have at least one Villain Has a Point moment. They also have at least one nasty Slasher Smile and reveal themselves to be Evil All Along quite quickly. Furthermore, they both have a horrifying One-Winged Angel only known by its nickname, the likes of which are unseen before or since and demonstrate some capability of plant-based attacks. At the game's true ending, you get a brief glimpse at what they were like before a third party turned them evil.

  Rayquaza or Zygarde?
• This Bug-type Pokémon has high all-round physical stats ^note (Attack and Defence), but poor special ones ^note (Special Attack and Special Defence, the latter less than 65 for both of them). Its Ability is somewhat useful to it in the competitive scene. However, it has a dual weakness, which probably locked it out of OU, yet that can be overcome with its Stone Edge.
  Durant or Buzzwole?
• This Eldritch Abomination bares some resemblance to to some kind of animal and is an Outside-Context Problem for the universe it inhabits. It can take control of another's body without much physical presence and does so to a major female character. However, she survives gaining her true self back. It and/or its host is/are Knight(s) of Cerebus.
  The Chaos Kin or UB-01 Symbiont?
• This male character is associated with the colour blue. He is a non-human humanoid who sometimes is referred to by species (as [name] the [species]). His facial expression is often a smug smile of some form, and with it comes some sort of one-liner-making ability. He seems to be shorter than average in terms of height. He is at least somewhat nihilistic, but is heroic regardless. He is also one of the more popular characters in his franchise and you will often see little kids godmodding or FRPing as him, because his speed is used in-game to dodge attacks often.
  Sonic the Hedgehog or Sans the Skeleton?
• This character was once involved in combatting an enemy from another planet, but suddenly turned traitor. Afterwards, they ally themselves with a group of villains, which includes one member who acts like an aloof rival. Some time before the final battle against them, the group's leader breaks off the alliance with this character, viewing them as a psychotic loose cannon. Though for some, it barely excuses their actions, they turn out to be controlled by a parasitic alien species. Finally, they willingly fuse themselves to one of said race for their final battle, which is not the Final Boss.
  Lusamine (again), or Pigma Dengar?
• This antagonist is from a work with 8 "generations"^note as of 18/11/18 and debuted in the first. They had a traumatic upbringing which caused them to adapt a Social Darwinist mindset and despise humanity. Also, an alternate universe version of them has a final form which was in a video game.

  Dio Brando or Mewtwo, with the respective AU final form being The World Over Heaven or Mega Mewtwo X/Y, the related character being Jotaro Kujo^note "Road roller da!" or Mew^note Mew under the truck and their revived victim being Joseph Joestar^note DIO's blood or Ash Ketchum^note tears?

Starshock

• He is a Knight Templar from France. He spent time in prison through no fault of his own. He dedicated his life to justice, and will not let anything (or anyone) stop him. Intelligent and aloof, with markedly, um, unique ideas about theology, his unbending adherence to executing justice comes off to many as draconian. He is utterly convinced of his righteousness until he has a major crisis of faith. Partway through the book, he becomes suicidal. He is almost always depitched as having black hair. And his author was a famous Romantic of the French Ninteenth Century. Inspector Javert or The Count of Monte Cristo?

Steel Edge

Their stage of the experiment wasn't the end result, and they were practically discarded after the experiment was over. They were based on a real (dead) person, and they gained imperfect versions of that person's accent. Despite their circumstances, they can be quite energetic and offbeat at times. They look like they're in their teens, but they were created at that age.

• This character used to be a member of a secret society. While in that society, he badly traumatized a child, and he regrets what he did to that child greatly. He is a tough guy with high physical stats, but he is also the party member that joins for the shortest period of time. He dies after being shot in the back while protecting the same child he traumatized, during an operation gone wrong involving a large celestial body being altered by supernatural forces. That operation also puts the world on the verge of destruction, but no one knew that. That child goes on to save the world.
  Shinjiro Aragaki of Persona 3 was predated by Heat O'Brien of Digital Devil Saga.
• This main protagonist of a Playstation game woke up under bizarre circumstances and discovered that while they were unconscious, they were infected with a virus that gives them superpowers. This virus gives them the power to transform and turn their arms into weapons, including swords, but more notably gives them a Cannibalism Superpower. Eating other living things makes them stronger and restores health, and has some other beneficial effects. They have some form of amnesia, and they encounter a few people who knew them before they find out the truth over several reveals. One reveal is that they used to work for the shady government organization that developed the virus, were incredibly evil, and had a heavy hand in its development. The Crapsack World that they live in is actually their fault. The other reveal is that they actually died before the events of the game, and the last reveal shows that they're actually copies of the scientists who were responsible for the virus, and they were created without any input from the scientists.
  The viral clone of Alex Mercer from [PROTOTYPE], or Serph not Sheffield of Digital Devil Saga?
• This main character of an Atlus game is put into life-endangering situations by a mysterious entity, as part of a test. When fighting for his life, the only stitch of clothing he wears is a pair of shorts. He is also a Horned Humanoid. The most chaotic ending of his game involves him defeating the King of Hell (or local equivalent), and transforming into a full demon. In that ending, he still looks mostly human, except his eyes change to red and he still has those horns.
  Vincent Brooks of Catherine, or The Demi-Fiend of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne?
• This Persona character is the hero's best friend. They were star athletes in track, but their legs were severely injured in an attack. They have an antagonistic relationship with the teachers and principal of their school. They are first shown as bitter delinquents who have given up on their dreams, and start hanging around with a shady crowd of Persona users, becoming one of the masterminds of an infamous group of criminals who attack the minds of their victims.
  Ryuji Sakamoto of Persona 5 was preceded by Anna Yoshizaka of Persona 2.
• This orphan was trained in the military as a child. They technically weren't conscripted, but they didn't have much of a choice in the matter. They display great combat prowess and are hailed as heroes, but only want to live a quiet life with a sinecure. Unfortunately for them, they're the Only Sane Man in a warlike empire where their heroic reputation gets them constantly sent to the front lines. The god of their empire is real, and the orphan sometimes thinks that it's his fault they're in such dangerous situations. However, despite the orphan's distaste for the church, some believe them to be incarnation of this god's will. They are accompanied by an aide who buys in to the empire's propaganda, and support their boss wholeheartedly. The men and women in their unit also admire them despite the harsh punishments the orphan metes out.
  Commissar Ciaphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!!!, or Tanya von Degurechaff of The Saga of Tanya the Evil?
• This middle-aged man is a Cowboy Cop from an impoverished noble family who marries one of the richest ladies in the city. At the start of his first book, he's lost faith in his job as a cop (and is depressed due to the loss of a woman he loved), until an antagonist with a strong association with gold shows up with the intent of abducting maidens from good families. The woman he eventually marries is abducted by this villain, and is rescued at the end. Despite his noble lineage, his most famous ancestor was well known for deposing a dictator, and he doesn't like mingling with other nobles, especially at parties. At the end of his first book, the gold villain is defeated by someone he took under his wing, and is subdued rather than killed.
  Sam Vimes of Discworld, Waxillium "Wax" Ladrian of Wax and Wayne?
• This male royal is introduced to the audience as a Spoiled Brat, but is deeper than he looks. He is aware that he is the least competent person in his family; his father is a legendary king who conquered most of the territory in his country, his uncle is a famed general looking to atone for his bloodthirsty past, and his sister is an infamous genius and powerful magic user. The royal is desperate to prove himself and his honor and is reckless in combat, which means that his uncle has to step in from time to time. While prone to fits of anger, he's not a bad person as much as seriously in over his head, and he's jealous of the hero (the one who flies) because he sees him effortlessly solve problems. He is initially an obstacle to the heroes because he's a bad judge of character and can't tell the difference between those with his best interests in mind and those who are just using him, but he makes the right choice (his uncle) in the end.

  Am I talking about Homo reptilia/the Silurians/the Sea Devils, or His Eminence's people?
• A bespectacled middle-aged man voiced by Keith Silverstein is the Big Bad of his story, seeking nothing less than ultimate power. He treats those who work under him terribly, and is a bad parent to his handsome teenage son, who is on the side of the heroes that oppose him^note well, it's a bit more complicated in Akechi's case. He also happens to be a pretty big Walking Spoiler.
  Who am I talking about: Masayoshi Shido/Samael, or Gabriel Agreste/Hawk Moth?
• An Earth woman ends up stranded in space for years due to circumstances beyond her control.

  Are they Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel and Yon-Rogg, or Della Duck and General Lunaris?
• Our main characters are a trio of high school-aged best friends, two boys and a girl. The first one is a socially awkward dork who isn't high on the popularity totem pole and whose life is only further complicated by the fact that he lives a double life as a superhero, which only a few people know about. The second one is a computer nerd of color who normally serves as the first kid's assistant in dealing with his superhero life. The third one is a snarky, slightly macabre, but ultimately good-hearted girl who also knows about the first kid's double life and serves as his love interest.
  Which trio am I talking about: Danny Fenton, Tucker Foley, and Sam Manson or Peter Parker, Ned Leeds, and Michelle "MJ" Jones?
• A moody teenager with control over fire and serious daddy issues initially serves as an antagonist to our main character, but after some time (and a fight with an extremely cunning villainess) they end up bonding and become close friends.
  Who am I talking about: Zuko or Warren Peace?
• A dark-haired fourteen-year-old is chosen to become the latest in a long line of magical defenders. To do this, they receive a piece of headgear that allows them to transform into a red and black-colored superhero. Their best friend is a redhead with an older sister who, while occasionally selfish, will support them through thick and thin. They also face villains that seclude themselves in a dark room and take advantage of those feeling anything negative in order to turn them into monsters to fight the heroes for them, primarily targeting the hero's teenage peers.
  Who am I talking about: Randy Cunningham or Marinette Dupain-Cheng?
• This character is one of the main characters of a Humongous Mecha show: a lanky alien (but human-appearing) teenager with black hair styled in a mullet. He's initially the most serious and stoic person on his team, but over the course of the series, he learns to loosen up. We also learn his backstory, which involves his father dying at a young age and him going to a military academy.
  Am I talking about Keith or Lance?
• This duo consists of a well-off boy with short, light-colored hair and their competent partner with braided hair. The partner has been raised with the sole purpose of acting as a servant to the well-off boy, and — despite their "master's" opposing opinions on the matter — they aren't really able to see themselves outside of this role, which leads to tragic results.
  Which duo am I talking about: Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu and Peko Pekoyama or Kalim Al-Asim and Jamil Viper?
• So we have a duo of characters with similar superpowers that pretty much embody the Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl trope. The male of the duo is a rational man of science, though while he has plenty of expertise in that area, he's also rather emotionally closed off in return. The female of the duo is more energetic, fun-loving, and openly caring of others, and — thanks to her power set — she spends more of her screen time flying rather than walking. They fight crime as members of a larger organization of superpowered people, and while they aren't officially together by the end, the Ship Tease between them is strong enough that they might as well be.
  Which duo am I talking about: Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne or Sasha Nein and Milla Vodello?
• This character is a Latina teenager whose more macabre interests have left her alienated from her human peers. At the start of the series, she ends up following something to the doors to another world — a magical, monster-filled world that matches her interests perfectly. While she faces some discrimination for her human heritage, she takes to this new world quickly and finds a way to keep up with her new friends, including an academically-minded witch with multicolored hair and a dark-skinned person who has a fascination with humans; she also occasionally clashes with an Alpha Bitch associated with warm colors.

  Are they Hope Estheim and Snow Villiers, or Ken Amada and Shinjiro Aragaki?
• The plot concerns two sisters who were close until an incident in which the younger sister almost dies. The younger sister’s memories are repressed to avoid any further psychological damage, only for her to endure crippling loneliness after the older sister repeatedly neglects her, leading her to develop an obsession to cope with it.

• A Tall, Dark, and Snarky man from a harsh working-class Northern background ends up proving himself smarter and more competent than quite a few of his social betters. He knows more magic than some of his contemporaries expect, has an affinity for an aspect of the magical setting considered "dark", and is the trusted servant of an older, higher-class sorcerer, though his loyalties are complex and he is also on good terms with his master's rival. In the end, he plays a vital role in thwarting the magical villain, and is something of an Ensemble Dark Horse. Is he Severus Snape or John Childermass?

TaiWind

• A tall, lanky man with messy dark hair and Seriously Scruffy, who lives inside the walls of a building with many moving parts. He has undergone severe Sanity Slippage due to his self-exile, and paints on the walls to possibly help counteract it.

Dhurke Sahdmadhi or Monkey D. Dragon?

That Good Good

• This blue-haired teenage girl lives in a world where it's possible to time travel. As the storyline for the series progresses, it gets incredibly dark. The girl is reckless and impulsive, which lands her in a good deal of trouble. She is slated to die in all timelines. Is she Sayaka Miki or Chloe Price?
• This is a girl who is seventeen at the start of the series. She is a boisterous, quick-tempered, fiercely protective Blood Knight. She has near inhuman physical strength, can take a great deal of physical punishment, and favours the use of fire in combat. In the final few episodes of the third season of their respective series, they are nearly killed, left with severe, lasting injuries, and are so emotionally beaten from their Trauma Conga Lines that they shut themselves off from their loved ones, and for a while, can no longer bring themselves to do anything, let alone fight. Yang Xiao Long or Korra?
• The main two teams of RWBY seem to have counterparts between one another.
  • Both socially clumsy, shy leaders with a penchant for strategy. Both feel that they have to prove themselves to their peers, and the death of Pyrrha Nikos damages them emotionally. Both have a female teammate who always looks out for them and supports them wholeheartedly. Ruby Rose or Jaune Arc?
  • Both wear long ponytails. They’re at the top of their classes.Their style of fighting is graceful and measured. They’re partners with their respective team leaders. Both grew up isolated with no friends, despite having what would normally be considered a blessed childhood. Weiss Schnee or Pyrrha Nikos?
  • Both black haired and light-skinned. They are quiet recluses who find themselves exasperated by their more high-strung peers. Each of have a Boisterous Bruiser Big Girl for a partner. They’re crushed on by at least one of their peers, but don’t exactly reciprocate. They both end up so fixated on defeating their respective nemeses that they take self-endangering actions in an attempt to defeat them. Realizing that they are needlessly risking their lives, their partners have to literally knock some sense into them. Blake Belladonna or Lie Ren?
  • Both are rambunctious girls who serve as the muscles of their respective teams, despite their cute/sexy appearance. They both gain power from taking blows. They are the most outgoing and laid-back member of their respective teams. Their respective partners are introverted, serious brunettes. Yang Xiao Long or Nora Valkyrie?
• Many parallels can be made between the Sailor Team and Team Korra.
  • She is a Physical Goddess and the protagonist of the series. She is destined to save the world, and has unbelievable power to use for that purpose. She is sheltered for much of her childhood, and is impulsive and emotionally-charged, though she matures with time. She is uncouth and has her moments of being a Gasshole. Despite her selfish, impulsive tendencies, she is altruistic to the core, and would die to keep her world and her friends safe. She endures plenty of trauma and heartbreak over the course of the series, and uses her pain to relate to her foe in the finale, rather than trying to overpower her. Usagi Tsukino/SailorMoon or Avatar Korra?
  • They are the straight-laced mentor of the protagonist. They often struggle to get their charge to behave in a manner befitting the world’s saviour, and their charge often laments how uppity they are. They still want what’s best for the protagonist, and often find themselves worrying about the protagonist of the story. They can be resentful to their more laid-back partner. Luna or Tenzin?
  • This woman has extensive combat experience, which shows in her hardcore leadership and badassery. Her intense sense of duty causes her isolation and personal suffering. She had a romantic relationship fall apart due to conflicting goals with her partner. She mentors the protagonist, and garners great respect. She also acts as a disciplinary figure to the protagonist, having to reign her in before she does something impulsive. She wields metallic chains/whips and uses metal to fight in general. She can be dismissive and blunt, but she’s ferociously loyal to her loved ones, and will sacrifice herself without hesitation. Minako Aino/Sailor Venus or Lin Beifong?
  • She was born into great wealth, and tends to shock their friends with how much luxury she has at her disposal. However, she is estranged from her father, despite loving them deep down. Despite her fortune, she is utterly selfless and gentle, and her loyalty to the team is never questionable. In contrast to the team’s fire-wielder, her relationship with the protagonist is harmonious and free of any vitriol. She uses her resources to help her teammates. She is composed, ladylike and embarrasses herself the least of her teammates. She isn’t naturally a powerhouse, but makes up for it with technology, and her intelligence. Despite her gentleness, she can be ruthless towards her enemies. She knows her way around an automobile. Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury or Asami Sato?
  • They have Raven Hair, Ivory Skin, wield fire as a weapon, and is red-themed to match. They’re the self-reliant, rough-around-the-edges, no-nonsense member of the team, which makes them The Comically Serious around the sillier characters. They have a tumultuous relationship with the protagonist, and initially have tried to sabotage the protagonist’s authority, feeling as if they’re unfit for their position. They prove they’d do anything to defend their friends and innocent people. When push comes to shove, they are a pure Determinator, fighting while simultaneously taking ungodly amounts of damage. They are a professional-level athlete. Rei Hino/Sailor Mars or Mako?
  • Their powers relate to nature to some extent. Their thematic colour is green, and they have green eyes. They are sweet and optimistic to a point of naivete, despite having lost their parents as a child. They fall in love easily, though they get burned several times by it. Their sheer physical strength shows in their chunkier-than-average figure. They are sensitive, guileless, and none too cerebral, but possesses more than enough raw power to be a serious threat when the going gets tough. They are also a professional-level athlete. Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter or Bolin?
• Likewise, Fairy Tail characters have much in common with those of Avatar: The Last Airbender
  • The main female protagonist. No matter what, she’ll defend anyone that needs them. She’s The Heart of her group, and is emotional and overtly compassionate. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a temper or a bossy streak; in fact, under extreme circumstances, she can be downright vicious. She remains optimistic and keeps moving forward despite suffering many traumas. She starts off lacking in combat skill, but becomes a formidable fighter with time, and slowly gains confidence in her abilities. That said, she fares better in the magical aspect of fighting rather than the physical. She’s introduced in the series as having a dead mother and an estranged father. She’s feminine and takes pride in her appearance. Katara or Lucy Heartfilia?
  • The second female protagonist. She has great confidence in her powers, and for good reason. She’s an exceptionally strong fighter from her introduction. She accomplishes feats deemed impossible over the course of the series. Violent and aggressive, she abhors showing vulnerability, despite being more sensitive than she lets on. She tends to push others unreasonably hard. She has some degree of blindness, and uses metal as weapons. She’s a tomboy, but enjoys girlier pursuits. Toph Beifong or Erza Scarlet?
  • The secondary male protagonist of the series. A sarcastic cynic that plays Straight Man rather often, though is just as quirky in his own way. He lacks the raw magical power of his peers, but makes up for it with strategy and skills, which he’s shown training to improve. He makes a point to show protectiveness over his female comrades. He has a clearly defined love interest. He’s associated with water/ice, and the colours blue and white. Sokka or Gray Fullbuster?
  • They are an innocent, adorable 12-year old kid. They’re unassuming, peaceful and good-natured and dislike fighting more than their peers do. However, when their loved ones are threatened, all hell will break loose. They primarily use air to fight. They’ve had to face the loss of a group of people they closely identified with. Avatar Aang or Wendy Marvell?
  • He starts off as a villain working under a bigger bad. However, he gradually makes a Heel–Face Turn, allying himself with the protagonists. He eventually earns his place alongside said protagonists after initially taking some abuse from members of the group. He has an elderly family member he looks up to, through he may not have given him the treatment he deserved. In contrast to the more easygoing heroes, he is antisocial, dark, and quick to anger, though he comes off as The Comically Serious rather often. Zuko or Gajeel Redfox?
  • Despite his old age, he is one of the most powerful characters in the series. He’s part of a council of elderly authority figures. He’s temporarily lost a son-like figure, only to welcome them back once they’ve had some time to repent. He’s deceptively wise, giving out sage advice, though he enjoys flirting with younger women. General Iroh or Makarov Dreyar?
  • The Team Pet and the closest companion of the main character. He’s a flying animal and generally used as a means of travel. Appa or Happy?
  • She’s the daughter of a bigger villain, and enjoys watching others suffer. She was abused at the hands of her father, and taught that compassion was a weakness, and strength meant everything, which made her the monster she currently is. She breaks down when faced with defeat, but not before coming within a hair’s breadth of killing the main protagonist. Princess Azula or Minerva Orland?
  • A mysterious young girl who dies, but remains in another plane of existence and actively aids the protagonists. She had a star-crossed lover, and died as a teenager. Princess Yue or Mavis Vermillion?

Thermal 7

• Blond, muscular, megalomaniac britishman with penchant for severe cruelty and bombastic behavior who has murderous daddy issues and a serious bone to pick with his brother.

ThorennG

• The main cast of this webcomic is composed of eight teenagers who go to two different high schools in the same town. The group contains lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, heterosexual, binary transgender and genderfluid members. A genderfluid group member is androgynous enough to pass as male or female easily just by changing their clothes, more often presents male, and is uncomfortable sticking to one gender but was not aware of the meaning of the term transgender until it was explained to them relatively recently. They live under the same roof as another group member who has brown hair, green eyes, is 5' 4", moved in recently and goes to a different school than they do. An unmarried close blood relative of one of those two group members also lives with them, is one generation older than the group, acts as a parental figure for the group having dealt with similar issues to the ones the group members face before and thus is privy to many of their secrets. Two of the group members are brother and sister who now go to different schools but at one point attended the same school. One group member is a cisgender lesbian who is fiercely protective of the ones she cares about, has a name with two "a"s, is 5' 4" and has had two-color hair at one point. She is romantically dating another group member who is a non-lesbian homoromantic girl. Said lesbian's previous relationship was non-romantic and was with a largely heterosexual (under almost all circumstances) guy in the group. Said heterosexual guy has a Germanic last name of which the second letter is "u", is 5' 10", is Childhood Friends with one of the non-cisgender group members (both of whom are introduced in the first storyline), is not afraid to defend gay guys from bullies and has expressed attraction to known AMAB (assigned male at birth) people under exceptional circumstances but still considers himself heterosexual. The gay guy has blue eyes, has a first name with the second letter of "u", has feelings for another group member who doesn't feel the same way toward him, is a Secret-Keeper for someone outside the group who's secret is similar to a secret kept inside the group and has an interest in presenting as a girl under certain circumstances but doesn't consider himself transgender. The transgender girl has brown hair which has had something major happen to it, has a name ending in "n" with two vowels, over 15 years of memories of living as a boy, is 5' 4", was presented as a female New Transfer Student near the start of the story, and whose relationship to the aforementioned heterosexual guy has secret aspects to it that are known to few outside the group. The pansexual girl has green eyes, has had a difficult childhood but tends to hide it from almost everyone through the personality she projects and also hides physical aspects of herself in public. She's now in a relationship with another group member who is non-cisgender, was initially very shy, is 5' 4", had a very significant haircut and has a four-letter name. The asexual girl has dark hair, is not aromantic, has blue eyes, exceptional height, has issues with her body's proportions, is the youngest of the group, has had issues trusting men, and was initially intended to be just a minor character being the second last character of the group to be introduced over four chapters into the story. The lone member who identifies as a heterosexual cisgender girl has blonde hair, goes by a name with two "a"s, and has a little bit of life experience of what it's like to be a boy but never identified as one. Affiliated with the group is a fellow student who is attracted to one of the group members regardless of the gender they present as and a school teacher who is aware of some of the group members' secrets and has taken steps to protect them at great personal risk. Also, one of the schools has an antagonistic principal for whom student safety is not a high priority and who wears a Dodgy Toupee.
  The cast of Rain (2010) or of El Goonish Shive?
• A teen non-white girl growing up in the early 2000s in North America has the ability to transform into a larger version of a small mammal with a large bushy tail. She learns how to assume Partial Transformation variants of that animal form ranging from Little Bit Beastly to full Animorphism. She has this ability due to her ancestry. She learns to use her abilities to achieve Not Quite Flight. Her favourite subject is math which she excels in.
  Grace Sciuridae or Meilin Lee?
  • Alternatively, A teen Asian girl growing up in the early 2000s in North America has literal non-dyed red hair, is an Academic Athlete, can speak English, French and an Asian language, can fly, can transform into a form that was (possibly) bestowed by a deity specifically to protect people, has a complex relationship with her Education Mama who keeps big secrets from her involving magic and their family's genetic heritage, and has a father who's always in the background, rarely speaks and is generally a Henpecked Husband.

As a result of her Dark and Troubled Past, she believes she is the only person who can properly protect her friends, and in doing so enacts a series of risky plans that ultimately do more harm than good. She is attended to by a man who appears mentally challenged and emotionally placid (a condition she herself caused), but who when provoked is extremely powerful and dangerous. She is a Base-Breaking Character, viewed by some fans as the bravest, most heroic character in the story and by others as an evil Magnificent Bastard who deserves a horrible death. Lucretia or Vriska?
• A Reality Warper named Hugo who is the closest thing to a god that exists within his story's canon, and spends his days influencing the ebb and flow of the universe from within a monochrome void room. Though the full extent of his powers is incredibly unclear, one fan theory speculates that he willed most of the other characters into existence. He is ultimately killed by a protagonist who, while originally on the side of good, has spent the plot becoming evil (and his death cements this character as completely irredeemable).

Trogdor

• This video game character looks young, around 20-30, but is actually much older due to being placed in a form of storage for decades, and they work for a Science Innovation Corporation. The building where they work is ridiculously large and dangerous, full of moats containing toxic goo and turrets with an improbable number of bullets. Escaping this facility is a near impossible goal, but they manage to do so anyway, despite having no supernormal abilities other than the unusual guns they are supplied with and a status as a Determinator. Neither of them says a single word through their entire journey, which gets a touch of lampshading. Their signature weapon is a gun with somewhat physics defying properties, and they're almost always portrayed in orange clothing.

• PS2-era dual-wielding clones of their series’s main characters with polar opposite personalities to them that started off as members of a team filled with other clones that wanted to use their unique gifts to collect what’s essentially a fancy version of souls, all in service to the baldheaded puppetmaster manipulating them to perpetuate their immortality and fuel a major war. Eventually they ran away due to their team’s increasingly disturbing actions and would be hunted down by them due to their importance to their plans, eventually being forced to put down their closest friend that on the surface wanted to take them back but was in reality trying to free them and coincidentally, in the same games these happened in, the characters’ deaths gave them an ability they used in the final act. The characters’ attempts to run would be foiled when a stoic and frequently corrupted swordsman captured them. They would eventually find a happier life with new friends but tragedy would strike when they nearly died though they would come back from this eventually. They would now find themselves amongst a new group where they would battle a corruptive evil their former friends’ manipulators reigned terror on the world with. They would end up working with someone that possessed their same gift that they would eventually have to put down when they turned their blades on them, share a fighting style with a fellow cast members, were shown the ropes and most commonly worked alongside a red teammate and are supremely naive and even stubborn. Am I talking about Roxas or Axl?

• He appears to be an ordinary man, but is really a brutal, unfeeling killing machine in human flesh.

• The true main villain of this animated series is an ancient, monstrously evil alien being, who thousands of years ago, was given the role of protecting and guiding the world.

Sealed away in an underground prison for his treachery, the creature was nonetheless able to extend his influence beyond his cage, ruining countless lives and ultimately bringing together the heroes in his long bid for freedom. Although he wasn't active for most of the show, the entity's presence and plans were alluded to and forwarded by several other characters. Come the series finale, he is released from his prison and resumes his quest to destroy all life in the universe. When the heroes confront him, he reveals that he was the author of their entire lives, creating them as pawns to free him, with the sheer existential horror nearly breaking them down.

He is noted for his scientific skill, producing an array of strange and fantastical creations generally thought impossible.
