History Characters / AsterixOthers

* EasilyForgiven: Despite making attempts on Asterix, Obelix, Getafix, Edifis and Cleopatra's food taster's lives, Edifis reconciles with him.
* EvilIsHammy: His actor is much more over-the-top in the live-action movie.

%%* TheRival: For Edifis.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: He's a bit confused at the reaction he provokes in Justforkix (who thinks he's going to be killed by the Normans), because he himself doesn't know the meaning of fear and yet inflicts it on others.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the comic, [[BlueAndOrangeMorality his idea of thanking the Gauls after they help him and his men learn fear is to slaughter them all so they will dine in Valhalla]]. He does no such thing in the animated movie.

* StrawFeminist: Her character in a nutshell - at least at the start. Even so, she's ready to put her issues aside to face the Romans.

* TheDitz: In at least one occasion (see ''Asterix and the Roman Agent'') they manage to easily get talked into beating each other up and sinking up the ship on their own. Even the captain lampshades on how little prodding they need to make a fool out of themselves.

* ThrowTheDogABone: At the end of ''Asterix and the Cauldron'', [[spoiler:money literally falls out of the sky onto their ship]]. Given the ReformedButRejected example above, they deserve this happy ending for a change. [[spoiler:They were seen happily relaxing in one panel of ''Asterix and the Griffin'']].

* VillainDecay: They started out as antagonists early in the comic history, partly fueled by anti-German sentiment in a post-WW2 age. But eventually neutral Germans began to appear in the saga.

!!!'''Voiced in French by:''' Micheline Dax (1968-1976)

* GagNose: Almost every character in Astérix is drawn with a huge nose. However, the nose that is frequently remarked upon is Cleopatra's, whose is rather noticeable (being at an extremely acute angle) on her otherwise gorgeous appearance but far smaller than that of any of the characters constantly remarking on how "very pretty" it is. Thanks to ArtEvolution, though, she grows ProgressivelyPrettier later in the series, losing her GagNose altogether.

%%* BeardOfEvil: Especially in the movie.

%%* VillainSong: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PezO_Vmqhgg "Arsenic Cake Song"]] from the animated adaption.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Like most martial artists, Cylindric fights barefoot.

!!!Played by: Laetitia Casta (1999), Angèle (2023)

* HasTwoDaddies: She considers Monolithix and Sidekix her adoptive fathers, as she refers to them as her "two Averni dads".

[[folder:Cylindric The German]]
A German warrior who carries a reputation for being unbeatable despite his small size, thanks to the foreign combat arts he learned during his journeys. Serves as the third challenge in ''WesternAnimation/TheTwelveTasksOfAsterix''.

* AnachronismStew: Cylindric uses what is clearly meant to be martial arts such as judo, which he claims to have learned on "a very long journey", which didn't exist until the late 1800's. Not to mention that he's wearing a modern-day ''judogi'' robe.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: The ''only'' character to ever defeat Obelix in a fight. Suffers this trope himself when Asterix ends up defeating him in turn.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Gets so caught up in showing Asterix how his fighting style works he doesn't realize that he just walked his opponent through how to beat him until it's too late.

* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: In her case, [[TropesAreFlexible it's not exactly her boobs]]. She may be a jerk, but no man dares to discuss with a woman with such a pretty nose!

* BeardOfEvil: Especially in the movie.

* EvilIsHammy: His actor is much more over-the-top in the live-action movie.

* ObviouslyEvil: Yes, he looks like Jafar.
** Given the album predates the Disney appearance by 24 years, probably fairer to say Jafar looks like him.

* TheRival: For Edifis.

* VillainSong: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PezO_Vmqhgg "Arsenic Cake Song"]] from the animated adaption.

!!!'''Played by:''' Bernard Farcy (Barbe Rouge, 2002), Gérard Jugnot (Barbe Rouge, 2012), Franck Gastambide (Barbe Rouge, 2023)

* PunnyName: His name means "My Kingdom for a Horse", a line from Richard III.

[[folder:Pepe]]

!!!Played by: Creator/MonicaBellucci (2002), Creator/MarionCotillard (2022)

This section deals with original characters who appear in the animated films and not the comics themselves.

* ArcVillain: The main antagonist of the Gauls when they are in North America. He has nothing to do with the BigBad, Julius Caesar.

* FakeWizardry: He "invokes" rain upon TheChiefsDaughter... which is just his sidekick holding a holed goatskin bag filled with water over her with said sidekick being hidden a tree.

* PunnyName: She is named after the Swedish band Abba.

* LesCollaborateurs: Downplayed. Bravura genuinely seems to think, at least at first, that things would be better under the Pax Romana, going so far as to offer peace between the Romans and the Gaulish village. Her attitude quickly changes when said offering is rejected.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Maybe...? The real Vercingetorix was executed in Rome in 46 BC as part of Caesar's victory parade, but the comic never actually makes any mention of him being dead. It's possible he remains a prisoner here.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: After spending the entire book cowering in fear from the Normans and generally behaving like a spoiled brat, he TookALevelInBadass and angrily turned on the Normans for wasting everyone's time with their idiotic idea that they'd be able to fly. He's also the only character ever to give Cacofonix praise and encouragement.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: He attempts this by deciding to try to negotiate with the Romans attacking the village, without magical potion. This brings about an end to the political strife.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: He doesn’t hurt Tremensdelirious, far from it. He just returns Caesar’s gift to him... [[spoiler: by hitting him on the head with it.]]

!!Indians

[[folder: Watziznehm (Kiçah)]]
An Indian fakir who comes to the village asking for help to save his drought-dried kingdom.
----
* MagicCarpet: He possesses one.
* PunnyName: His names sounds like "What's his name ?"

[[folder: Hoodunnit (Kiwoàlàh)]]
A scheming minister who seeks to take over his king's kingdom.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Bravura isn't worried by the Roman's scret weapon - a century of women soldiers - since she assumes that, as women and fellow "sisters", they would want to listen to her proposal of peace. This is forgetting, of course, that they are trained soldiers loyal to Rome. This results in her getting thumped by the guard of the women's camp, while her peace offering is laughed off by Claphamomnibus.

* BreakoutCharacter: Kinda, he never came back in the comics but was a villain that impressed durably the readers due to his frightening introduction (just look at the cover of Recap/AsterixAndTheSoothsayer). He was featured in adaptations twice (WesternAnimation/AsterixAndTheBigFight and Film/AsterixAndObelixTakeOnCaesar) despite he [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse disappear]] mid-story from the latter movie, that does not adapt Recap/AsterixAndTheSoothsayer as its main plot, like Prolix has to be there, somehow. Also, Demonix/Sulfurix in WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfTheMagicPotion is obviously inpired by him, but made more evil and terryfing.

[[folder:Justforkix Doubleheligos (Goudurix Doupleheligos)]]

* BlindingBangs: His long forelocks tend to cover his eyes.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Bravura isn't worried by the Roman's scret weapon - a century of women soldiers - since she assumes that, as women and fellow "sisters", they would want to listen to her proposal of peace. This is forgetting, of course, that they are trained Roman soldiers first and foremost. This results in her getting thumped by the guard of the women's camp, while her peace offering is laughed off by Claphamomnibus.
* DreadfulMusician: Played with. Her singing and drum-playing enchant the village women, but the men fall over laughing.
