* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: She’s a fanfic writer and female, although it’s impossible to say if her writing fits the stereotype, since we never actually get to see any of it.
* PunnyName: In many internet circles, “TIL” is an acronym that means “today I learned.” Similarly, her sister’s name is an anagram for “IIRC,” or “if I recall correctly.”



* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: There’s a real Dr. Wolfram and a real Wolfram Alpha, but they’re a far cry from the exaggerated parodies seen here.

The discord is going nuts over this new page, LOL.


* DropTheHammer: A couple of his weapons are very large warhammers.



* InformedFlaw: We’re told that he’s new to the Internet and confused by its culture, but this never really comes up at all aside from a few references to him looking things up in tourist guidebooks.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Fits the classic “knightly” mold pretty well… better than anyone else on the team, at least.
* [[spoiler:TheLostLenore: Surprisingly, his last support conversation reveals that Arianna has become this. After he stopped seeing her as an enemy, Eddie realized just how similar she was to himself. Sadly, by that point, it’s much too late for anything to happen.]] [[spoiler:Or is it?]]
* [[spoiler:MaybeEverAfter: He develops feelings for Arianna, and opens a library with her in the True Ending. However, we never learn the specifics of their relationship, so they could still just be friends.]]



* OutOfFocus: After the Wikipedia arc, he isn’t really given as much to do in the story as some of the others. At least his strength means you’ll be using him in plenty of battles, which mitigates this somewhat.



* SpockSpeak: Slips into this occasionally, but it’s not really a constant thing.



* UndyingLoyalty: To Jimmy Wales, his mentor, and eventually to Catie as well.



* TheArtfulDodger: He may be a teenage example. In any case, he doesn’t seem to mind life in the streets too much.



* DudeWheresMyRespect: In the epilogue, he’s still living in the sewers despite his heroism.
-->'''Shift:''' Turns out that saving the world isn't enough to make city guards respect you. Who knew, huh?



* HotBlooded: When the group raids Partnership Towers, he votes to storm the building and fight all the guards, rather than stealthily take the stairs.
** Much later, when the party is tasked with keeping STORM distracted, Shift asks why they can’t just kick its butt fair and square.



* [[spoiler:OfferedTheCrown: In the True Ending, he somehow ends up becoming the King of Amazon while the party is vacationing there.]]



* [[spoiler:RagsToRoyalty: From a penniless thief to the king of a trading empire. Not bad for a Butt-Monkey.]]



* VideoGameStealing: Two of his special skills involve thievery, but it’s all based on luck - the items he “steals” are just picked at random from a list.



* DragonWithAnAgenda: He’s sharing his resources with Arianna, but only so far as it benefits him. The only thing he cares about is the creation of his perfect Engine.



* [[spoiler:HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: By the end of the game, he’s not much more than the upper half of a burnt husk. He proudly proclaims that he’s learned nothing, and will keep right on building his machines.]]
* [[spoiler:HoistByHisOwnPetard: His final Engine, Wolfram ALPHA, is designed to be fully autonomous. So when Wolfram starts barking orders at it from the sidelines, it fries him to ash with electricity.]]
* InstantAwesomeJustAddMecha: His philosophy in a nutshell. Got a problem to solve, or a group of meddling kids to get rid of? Just fire up your latest evil war machine!



* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:When the party finds him inside Arianna’s world, he’s preparing to launch an attack against her, saying that he’s gained all he can from their partnership and now it’s time to “put her down.”]]

to:

* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:When NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: There’s a real Dr. Wolfram and a real Wolfram Alpha, but they’re a far cry from the exaggerated parodies seen here.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: This happens twice – first when BETA self-destructs with him on it, and then when [[spoiler:ALPHA blasts him to smithereens.]] When asked how he survived, he simply brushes the issue aside.
-->'''Wolfram:''' Ah, that's the power of science, my dear! Any other foolish questions you'd like to ask?
* [[spoiler:TheStarscream: When
the party finds him inside Arianna’s world, he’s preparing to launch an attack against her, saying that he’s gained all he can from their partnership and now it’s time to “put her down.”]]”]]
* TheUnfought: You get to fight several of his creations, but never the man himself. Justified, since he’s elderly and likely can’t fight very well to begin with.
* [[spoiler:VillainousRescue: When Legion has returned and all hope seems lost, it’s Wolfram who unexpectedly saves the day by reviving Arianna through the copies of her system files he’d saved.]]

* ColdHam: Even at his most stoic, he never relinquishes control of a scene. [[spoiler:That is, until Legion shows up and out-hams him in every way.]]
* [[spoiler:DarkLordOnLifeSupport: He can’t survive in the current Internet without his breath mask. To drive the point home, it even plays the iconic VaderBreath sound when he first puts it on.]]
* [[spoiler:DarthVaderClone: A FallenHero, wearing black armor and a life support mask? Yep, Boxxyfan fits the bill. His emotional instability might reclassify him as a ''Kylo Ren'' clone, if Boxxyfan hadn’t debuted first by several years.
]]



* [[spoiler:DoNotGoGentle: He’s barely clinging to life in a world that actively wants him erased, but instead of letting it happen, he’s determined to restore himself and bring down the world instead.]]
* [[spoiler:EnemyMine: He finally sets aside his grudge against Catie to help her fight against Legion. However, he warns that the truce won’t last, and it doesn’t.]]
* [[spoiler:FallenHero: He used to be a genuinely good person, if a bit morose, but the destruction of his home sent him spiraling into an omnicidal rage.]]
* FieryRedhead: Both he and his sister qualify. [[spoiler:Boxxyfan]] is the destructive, raging kind of ‘fiery’, while Coria is the glowing, spirited kind.
* [[spoiler:GasMaskLongcoat: His attire in the present is a fantasy version of this.]]



* [[spoiler:HijackedByGanon: After supposedly being dead for the whole game, he returns and hijacks the plot at the last minute.]]
* [[spoiler:MalevolentMaskedMan]]



* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:As the Pale Wraith, he has no avatar but hasn’t quite left the virtual plane.]]

* [[spoiler:RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Red hair, red eyes, and a pitch-black outfit with red trim.]]
* [[spoiler:RedEyesTakeWarning: Prior to his FaceHeelTurn, his eyes are grey. Afterwards, they turn bright red.]]
* [[spoiler:RedemptionRejection: In the final duel, you can “spare” Boxxyfan’s mask by refusing to smash it. Instead, Catie will attempt to talk him down and settle things peacefully. Boxxyfan thanks her for the [[ExactWords second chance]]… then [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice stabs Catie through the chest]] and taunts her while she bleeds to death.]]
* [[spoiler:RevengeBeforeReason: He still keeps going after Catie when Legion show up, despite her protests that they need to work together. It takes a few timely zaps from Wolfram to finally calm him down.]]
* [[spoiler:RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In case you somehow haven’t figured it out by now…]]

going to kill Catie. ''He’s going to revert the Internet''. ''He '''will not''' be stopped''. '''''No matter what.''''']]
* UnusableEnemyEquipment: Well, it’s technically usable, and he’s not an enemy [[spoiler:at the time]], but the Attack stat-doubling accessory he wears can’t be unequipped from him or used by anyone else.
* [[spoiler:VaderBreath: The trope-naming sound effect plays when he puts on the breath mask for the first time. Presumably, that’s how he breathes from then on.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:To start with, he’s supposed to be dead. And you’re not supposed to know that he’s the guy you meet in the past.]] Pretty much everything about his role in the plot is a spoiler of some kind.

* ADayInTheLimelight: The first part of Chapter 8 is told from her perspective, [[spoiler:as she searches Tumblr for a way to cure Catie’s sudden, mysterious illness.]]


Added DiffLines:

* CatchPhrase: She’s fond of using the word “swish” to describe things she likes.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Only towards Anon. She’s perfectly nice to everyone else from the start, but he made a bad first impression.


Added DiffLines:

* SugarAndIcePersonality: Depending on how she feels about you, Til can either be a total sweetheart or an unrelenting sass machine.
* {{Tsundere}}: She’s a Type A towards Anonymous (starts off harsh, but softens over time), and a Type B towards everyone else (generally nice, but quick to snap).

Added DiffLines:

* JackOfAllTrades: She can equip any weapon type, and can reconfigure her stats with a set of installable drives, making her the most versatile member of the party.


Added DiffLines:

* PenPals: Likes to keep in touch with her friends, and sends you several well-wishing emails throughout the adventure. In fact, she’s the one who gives you the Email Bag in the first place.


Added DiffLines:

* ReplacementGoldfish: Judging by their similar names, she may be this for Boxxyfan’s sister Coria. If that’s true, then it raises some uncomfortable questions about Cornelia’s… assets, since the original most certainly didn’t have them.
* StepfordSmiler: Behind all the kindness and warmth, Cornelia is a girl who… really, really doesn’t like herself. It’s impossible not to feel awful when she finally opens up during her support conversation.

* BowAndSwordInAccord: Bows and swords are the two weapon classes he can equip.
* BystanderSyndrome: He steps back when Arianna attacks the ship in the prologue, and doesn’t help Catie search for shipwreck survivors in Chapter 1. He eventually changes his tune, but it takes a literal apocalypse to finally prod him into action.



* EleventhHourRanger: He ditches the vacation plans in Chapter 8, and tags along for the final main story dungeon.



* OnlySaneMan: Has shades of this, but it’s hard to tell since he doesn’t get much screentime until after CerebusSyndrome hits and ''everyone'' takes a level in sanity.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Cornelia. At least, there’s no overt indication that anything romantic is happening between them.
* RainOfArrows: His ultimate skill is called this, and boy does it live up to the name. You only get to use it once per battle.

Added DiffLines:

* LivingWeapon: She was designed to be one, and once she joins you, she delivers. Squishy she may be, but SquishyWizard she is not.
* MakingASplash: Her ultimate attack, “Digital Sea,” is a tidal wave that sweeps the field and hits all enemies.


Added DiffLines:

* PlatonicLifePartners: With Shrimp, maybe. In any case, they never show signs of being more than great friends.
* PowersAsPrograms: Her Drives, which allow her to switch between classes at will. Each one raises a different stat group and gives some kind of bonus, like health regen or double mana.

Added DiffLines:

* OutOfFocus: He gets hit with a bad case of this. After the [=YouTube=] arc, he’s reduced to the role of a comedic side character with no real impact on the plot. This is actually lampshaded a few times in the epilogue.


Added DiffLines:

* HelloInsertNameHere: Subverted. The game prompts you to name her, like the others, but Tyalie actually rejects whatever you pick. It’s the first hint that she’s got a higher level of awareness.

So, are we spoilering Tyalie's fourth wall scenes?


* TheChick



* EarlyBirdCameo: She first appears at the Summit in Chapter 3, as an unnamed aide to the [=GameFAQs=] admin. She even has a few lines, but she isn't fully introduced until Chapter 6.



* GamerChick: Let’s see… She lives in [=GameFAQs=], her bedroom is filled with game consoles, and her dialogue is peppered with gaming terms and idioms. When she joins the party, her 3DS even appears in your inventory!
-->'''Tyalie’s 3DS:''' What? A girl’s gotta game on the go.



* GenkiGirl: Just about everything excites her - even the bad stuff! (Especially the bad stuff). [[spoiler:In the end, she reveals that it’s at least partly an act, both to keep you entertained and to keep her own fears at bay.]]



* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When she’s not breaking it outright, she’s doing this.




to:

* PluckyComicRelief: It’s implied that she’s trying to invoke this image on herself. She just wants everybody, [[spoiler:but especially you]], to have a great time with the adventure.
* PluckyGirl: She refuses to see her misfortunes as setbacks. Instead, they’re just exciting new challenges to master!
-->'''Tyalie:''' Life isn't easy, but it doesn't have to be so full of gloom and suffering. Have fun with it - the good and the bad, because it's all part of an experience that will never come again!

* TheBlank: He has no visible facial features, but other characters (or at least Til) can somehow still tell when he’s smiling.


Added DiffLines:

* DeadpanSnarker: Oh, so very much. His reaction to seeing the biggest monster the party has ever faced is basically just a resigned “you had one job” to the guy who was supposed to be keeping watch.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the opening scene, Catie says with full confidence that Anon will keep her safe. Right after that, we see him light a random passerby on fire for fun.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Anon is Catie’s loyal and trusted protector. The very first thing we see him do is set a guy on fire for kicks. Judging by Catie’s non-reaction, this may have happened before.


Added DiffLines:

* IShallTauntYou: He learns a skill called Taunt at level 35, which draws enemy fire to him, (and away from his teammates), for several turns.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* TheLancer: He’s the cynic to Catie’s relentless optimist. Whenever she schemes up some random act of heroism, he’ll usually (and always unsuccessfully) try to talk her out of it.

to:

* AffablyEvil: The first few times you see her, she’s polite and cautiously nice. She even sends Catie an apologetic email after their third fight. She gradually loses this trait and gets colder as the party becomes more of a threat to her plans, but even at the very end, she can’t bring herself to be truly mean.
* HairDecorations: She has purple ribbons in her hair, plus what seem to be gems of some kind.
* ItIsBeyondSaving
* MysticalWhiteHair
* RecurringBoss: You fight her at least four, (but optionally five), times throughout the game. Each time, she has a different form and a new set of powers.




to:

* TheDragon: To Arianna, although he mainly just does his own thing, and isn’t very invested in her mission.
* ForScience: Everything he ever does. He aims to create a perfect, all-knowing “Decision Engine” and use it to spread mighty SCIENCE across the land.
* MadScientist: He seems to think he can solve all the Internet’s problems by conquering it with deadly giant robots.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:When the party finds him inside Arianna’s world, he’s preparing to launch an attack against her, saying that he’s gained all he can from their partnership and now it’s time to “put her down.”]]




to:

* BadassLongRobe: He’s never seen without it.
* CoolHelmet: [[spoiler:His black-painted breath mask.]]
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:A villainous example. No matter what happens to him, nothing – not even his own death – will cease his pursuit of revenge.]]
* GuestStarPartyMember: He joins the party in Chapter 7 as a chaperone for their trip up The Spire. [[spoiler:Much later, he rejoins to help Catie and Arianna fight the TrueFinalBoss.]]
* MyNameIsQuestionMarks: He never bothers to tell the party his name, so it’s displayed as ??? for the entire time he’s journeying with you.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:As the Pale Wraith, he has no avatar but hasn’t quite left the virtual plane.]]
* TheUnfettered: [[spoiler:He’s going to kill Catie. ''He’s going to revert the Internet''. ''He '''will not''' be stopped''. '''''No matter what.''''']]




to:

* AsteroidsMonster: When its pieces are defeated, they split and reform into smaller dragons. Upon seeing it for the first time, Tyalie makes a direct comparison to the trope namer.
* BadassBoast:
->'''''AM THE BLACK WINGS OF CHAOS... THE FIRST SHADOW, AND THE LAST...I AM THE END OF ALL THINGS, AND NOW... IT'S TIME TO DIE.'''''
* GreaterScopeVillain: He may not be the one pulling the strings, but he sits firmly at the top of the evil hierarchy, and when he gets revived, the current Big Bad’s plans are instantly made irrelevant.
* IAmTheNoun: See BadassBoast above.
* KnightOfCerebus: Whenever this guy rears his head, all semblance of humor dies a swift and painful death.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent
* TrueFinalBoss: He’s the last enemy you have to face on the True Ending path.

* AntiNihilist: [[spoiler:Tyalie knows that she’s fictional. She knows that her entire world is just a “trashy freeware game.” But does she let that break her spirit? Hell no. She throws herself into her role with all her heart, hoping to make the experience as fun as it can possibly be for you, so that maybe - just maybe - you’ll remember her when it’s over.]]
* BefriendingTheEnemy: Bless her heart, she just keeps trying this. Whenever a new adversary shows up, you can bet Tyalie will suggest teaming up instead of fighting. Sadly, things rarely work out the way she hopes.
* DuelBoss: She fights Catie one-on-one, while the rest of the heroes are stuck in a trap.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: She lures you on top of a moving train, then launches into a disjointed spiel about why she needs your help, which she illustrates by ''drawing on the background with crayon''.
* GeniusDitz: Even though her trains of thought look like Family Circus dotted lines, she’s as perceptive as they come.
* HairDecorations: She has a big red bow in her hair.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Her blonde hair fits perfectly with her sunny, outgoing personality.
* LightEmUp: Several of her magic skills involve bursts of light.

* NotAGame: Defied with a passion. Life is ''totally'' a game, and she’s gonna have as much fun with it as she possibly can!




to:

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Orange eyes and orange hair.
* NiceGuy
* RecurringTraveller: He’s taking his friends on a trip around the Internet. You’ll run into their tour group several times during your journey.
* RefusalOfTheCall: In the beginning, he turns down the chance to join Catie’s party, saying he promised to keep the other tourists safe.
** CantRefuseTheCallAnymore: He finally joins after seeing STORM's wrath for himself, and realizing that he can’t afford not to help.



* Action Girl

* AIIsACrapshoot: A rare heroic example. In the first game, she turned against her creator when Catie offered her friendship, and helped put an end to Boxxyfan’s omnicidal plan.
* BenevolentAI
* DCupDistress: She’s not very fond of her “clickbait” figure. Or rather, she’s not fond of what it represents. Her body is a constant reminder of her creator’s intent to exploit and objectify her, and the attention it draws reminds her that she’ll never quite fit in.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: In the first game, she was a boss before being convinced to switch sides.
* GagBoobs: Seriously, ''just look at them!'' (Or don't, since that makes her deeply uncomfortable).
* NiceGirl: She’s easily the nicest, most genuinely caring person in the entire game.
* RecurringTraveller: As part of Shrimp’s tour group, she pops up in different sites throughout the game.
* RedheadInGreen: She has bright red hair, and her default outfit is a mint-green dress.

* AmnesiacHero: It doesn’t get much focus this time, but she still can’t remember a dang thing before the events of the prequel. Unusually for this trope, she seems at peace with this, and would rather make new memories than recover her old ones.
* CynicIdealistDuo: She forms one of these with Anonymous. (She’s the idealist.)
* TheHero
* TheHighQueen: A particularly young and feisty example, but she is a queen, and her people greatly adore her.

Catie is the fair young queen of the Boxxysphere. Two years ago, she woke up in a field with no memories, and her Quest for Identity turned into a battle to save the world. She loves to help people, but has trouble sharing her own problems with others. In battle, she’ll be doing most of the healing, but can pull out some fierce magic attacks in a pinch.
