History Characters / AmphibiaMainCharacters

* BalefulPolymorph: Gets turned into a Bird Person in "Cursed!", although the change is mostly cosmetic since she's unable to fly.

* {{Bifauxnen}}: Wears a suit in "Anne of The Year".

* FeatherFingers: Being turned into BirdPeople in "Cursed!" does nothing to prevent her from being able to hold things, she simply uses her wings as arms and hands.

* MessyHair: Anne's hair is always messy with twigs and dead leaves sticking out of it, somehow even while submerged underwater. She gets her hair combed and straightened in "Girl Time", but of course [[StatusQuoIsGod it goes back to being messy at the end]].

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Bessie is a green slug rather than a purple snail in the first episode.

* SheCleansUpNicely: Whenever Anne is dressed for a special ocassion, like a girls night out with Polly or her award ceremony in Anne of the Year, she pulls off the look quite spectacularly.

* IChooseToStay: During "Reunion," Sasha gives Anne an ultimatum: drop her sword and come with her to toad tower so they can find a way to get back home, end of discussion. Anne at first looks like she'll go through with it, but after being defended by Sprig, Anne finally [[GrewASpine grows a spine]] and refuses to do what Sasha says, even with the possibility she may never go back home. [[WeUsedToBeFriends This basically marks the end of their friendship]].

* {{Irony}}: Of the cosmic variety. Back on earth, Anne absolutely ''hated'' frogs and her skipping out on a frog dissection assignment with Sasha was the reason they ended up in Amphibia in the first place. This is part of the reason Sasha is so surprised when Anne chooses to stand up for the Plantars and refuses to give Hop Pop up for a chance at going back home.

* TokenHuman: Played with. On the one hand, she's not the only human in Amphibia, as [[spoiler: Sasha and Marcy]] were sent there as well. On the ''other'' hand, she's the only human resident in Wartwood, and that's only because the Plantars chose to be her foster family.

* UndyingLoyalty: Is very loyal to those she considers her friends, which unfortunately prevents her from standing up to Sasha and Marcie.

--> '''Anne''': Ooh! My favorite! (pause) ''...I've been here too long!''

** Has his moments where he is disturbingly on board with harassing, endangering, burglaring or outright attempting to murder other characters.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: When Anne first arrives at Wartwood, the locals don't trust her by a combination of FantasticRacism and justified fear of someone they've never seen before. They eventually warm up, although it takes quite a while.

* [[RiseOfZitboy Rise Of Zitgirl]]: In "[[Recap/AmphibiaS1E10BreakoutStar Breakout Star,]]" Anne gets acne, but the townsfolk of Wartwood mistake them for warts. Since this froggy society finds warts appealing, HumansAreUgly goes right out the door for that episode, and this Zitgirl rises in popularity.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. A lot of the townsfolk like him because of how cute he looks. However, due to this he is completely and utterly baffled by Sadie Croaker not immediately liking him and goes to extreme measures to try to get her approval.

* AlliterativeName: '''P'''olly '''P'''lantar

* IdenticalStranger: A frog from Anne's world bears some resemblance with Hop Pop, but more realistic... also dead.

* {{Irony}}: Of the cosmic variety. Back on earth, Anne absolutely ''hated'' frogs and her skipping out on a frog dissection assignment with Sasha was partially the reason they ended up in Amphibia in the first place. This is part of the reason Sasha is so surprised when Anne chooses to stand up for the Plantars and refuses to give Hop Pop up.

* MeaningfulName: The Plantar family name is both a near-homophone for "planter", and they have a tradition of farming, and an adjective for things related to the sole of the foot (frog's having notably large feet).

* IdenticalStranger: A frog from Anne's world bears some resemblance with Hop Pop, but more realistic.

'''Hop Pop''': "How 'bout it, Carl?"\\
'''Carl''': "The more, the merrier."\\
'''Sprig''': "Get in here, you crazy kid!"\\
'''Anne''': "Woo-hoo!"

* CreepyChild: Has his moments where he is disturbingly onboard with harassing, endangering, burglaring or outright attempt to murder other characters.
** Was morbidly curious to know if Hop Pop 'ever murdered a man' in "The Bizzare Bazaar".

--> '''Sprig''': "You're not a beast at all, you're a hero! An ugly, ugly, ugly hero!"

--> '''Anne''': "Wait, you have hair?"

--> '''Sprig''': "I have bad news for you, beast: I taste terrible!"

* FatalFlaw: His belief in tradition and that he knows best. In "Hop Luck," he refuses to admit that the family recipes are just not tasty even when Anne points out they can make a new dish. He also insists on teaching Anne about the Plantar family, and how to do taxes. [[spoiler:It culminates in him burying the music box to protect Anne and the others, even though it's the only clue she has to finding a way home]].

* NoodleIncident: In "Flood, Sweat & Tears", his speech about roommates turns into a rant that heavily suggests what his married life was like.

--> '''Sprig''': "He makes a great scarecrow!"

--> '''Polly''': "I don't have a candy problem! You have a candy problem!"

* EyeColorChange: When fending off the giant mantis in the first episode, her eyes briefly flash blue.

* HiddenDepths: More than once, he's shown to be a good fiddler.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Bessie has green rather than purple skin in the first episode. And is a slug.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: When Anne first arrives at Wartwood, the locals don't trust her by a combination of FantasticRacism and justified fear of someone they've never seen before. They eventually warm up, although it takes quite a while.

* GrewASpine: After doing little to fight back against Sasha and Marcy's ToxicFriendInfluence, Anne finally gathers the courage to not be swayed by Sasha's manipulative tendencies, and fight for what she thinks is right. Time will tell how she fares against Marcy,

* [[RiseOfZitboy Rise Of Zitgirl]]: In "[[Recap/AmphibiaS1E10BreakoutStar Breakout Star,]]" Anne gets acne, but the townsfolk of Wartwood mistake them for warts. Since this froggy society find warts appealing, HumansAreUgly goes right out the door for that episode, and this Zitgirl rises in popularity.

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She is either this or a GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak. She is generally portrayed as somewhat of a tomboy with her feisty and rambunctious personality, love for adventuring, never being hesitant from backing down from a fight, having a semi-raspy voice with the tendency to say slang like "dude", and occasionally not minding much dirt. But despite that she has shown to have multiple feminine traits and interests such as being easily grossed out by bugs or anything slimy, mentioning going to the mall with her friends, and having affection and a fondness over cats. Her girly streak is made even more obvious and stronger when taking Polly out for some girl time due to being disgusted by Sprig and Hop Pop's boyish habits such as with long-distance spitting and being concerned with Polly ending up like them. The activities included going to the spa, getting her hair done, shopping for new clothes to which she picked out a dress, having a tea party, and getting a massage. And then there are traits that can't really fit into either category, such as her dislike of camping not because she minds it on principle but simply because she is hopelessly inept at it.

* LethalChef: Not the best cook. While the frogs in Amphibia might like to eat bugs, the soup he makes in "Cane Crazy" has some in it that are ''still alive'', and when Anne mocks his cooking skills, Sprig and Polly laugh instead of defending him. "Hop Luck" reveals that in the annual Wormwood pot luck, they've ''always'' come in last.

[[folder: In General]]

* HeroinesPreferSwords: She's first given a blade by the toad tax collectors in "Toad Tax." Later, she's formally trained in the art of sword-fighting by Tritonio Espada. This all culminates in a swordfight between her and Sasha, which she manages to win.

* {{Bifauxen}}: Wears a suit in "Anne of The Year".
