* ActionGirl: In just the first few minutes we see Vella, she's cut herself free from being a sacrifice to Mog Chothra.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Vella appears to have a dark-skinned mother and a white father.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Velouria ''Beastender'' Tartine. [[spoiler: She lives up to that middle name many times over by the end.]]



* FootFocus: Vella spends almost all the adventure barefoot, with no apparent discomfort regardless of where she walks on (in Act 2 there's even broken glass on the floor of some locations). Although her [[CharacterTic tendency to cross her feet in her idle animation]] may not be random.






* InSeriesNickname: Marek calls Shay "young cub", while Mom calls him "Sweetie" or "Captain Sweetie", and Vella calls him "the boy".

[[folder: Alex, the Dead Eye God]]
A space traveler on the same mission as Shay, who crashed into Shellmound three hundred years ago. He couldn't stand the primitive nature of the inhabitants and they way they worshiped him as a god, so he put himself into cryogenic hibernation. Vella thaws him out.

* GodGuise: But he preferred not to be worshiped as a god, Shellmound worshiped Alex anyway.
* MrExposition: To Shay, when Shay asks him their mission.

* TheFaceOfTheSun

to:

* TheFaceOfTheSunTheFaceOfTheSun: What her interface looks like. She pops into lamps as a glowing yellow face, but does not move.
* [[spoiler: GoodAllAlong: She's not an AI that is primarily concerned about the mission, but Shay's human mother who is worried about Shay's safety for his own sake, and is oblivious to Operation: Dandelion's real purpose.]]



* MyBelovedSmother: She is pretty much omnipresent on the ship, which makes it nearly impossible to escape her watchful eye. Also, she tries to keep Shay locked into a routine, and doesn't seem to understand that he's outgrown her parenting methods, which are geared more towards very small children and infants.

to:

* MsExposition: To Vella, who asks in detail about Operation: Dandelion, compared to Shay who would already know about it by now.
* MyBelovedSmother: She Mom is pretty much omnipresent on the ship, which makes it nearly impossible to escape her watchful eye.

[[folder: Marek]]
A stowaway in a wolf costume onboard the Bossa Nostra that is using the ship to rescue aliens from dangerous planets. He recruits Shay to help him gain control of the ship.

* [[spoiler: EvilAlbino: Marek and the rest of the Lorunan ruling caste look like this, the byproduct of generations of selective breeding and genetic engineering.]]
* [[spoiler: EvilMentor: To Shay, not that he was teaching Shay to be evil, but the things he made Shay do were evil.]]
* LegacyCharacter: It's implied that Marek[=/=][[spoiler: Marekai]] is something like this, given that Alex had one on his own ship 300 years ago.
* [[spoiler: ObviouslyEvil: By the end of Act I, Marek's motives are unknown, but it's obvious they're not good. Act 2 reveals them.]]
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Greatly and sincerely praises Shay's ability to save the aliens, which amounts to a glorified claw game.
* PaperThinDisguise: Averted. Marek admits that he's not really a wolf. [[spoiler: And averted in that it hides his giant head ridge.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: As expected from someone hiding in a wolf suit.
