History Characters / ChildsPlay

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the entire ''Chucky'' franchise, although the Hackensack Slasher is still the one responsible for making Chucky a serial killer in the first place. Damballa's name is said in each and every movie of the series, and Chucky (or Tiffany and Glen) recite a chant to Damballa to grant a wish of theirs. In Season 3 of the TV show, he is indeed confirmed as truly wanting Chucky to commit murders but orders him to abandon the Hackensack Slasher's approach to merely a high body count and put more passion and originality in his killings.

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: While interacting with his votaries in the Spirit Realm, he takes the form of the person they revere the most. Given that Chucky's a raging {{narcissist}}, in his case Damballa appears in the form of his doll body. Fittingly his personality is actually quite identical to Chucky's.

* PsychopathicManchild: He has a personality identical to Chucky's with the distinctions of wearing glasses to read legal documents better while serving as a HangingJudge and demanding Chucky get far more creative with his murders.

* HangingJudge: As he finally appears in Season 3's "There Will Be Blood", he plays this to Chucky putting him on trial and accusing him of practicing Catholicism. Chucky tries to make him believe it was an accident, but Damballa doesn't buy it.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: In the first three movies, Chucky could only use Damballa's powers to transfer his soul out of the doll into the first human being he revealed himself to (Andy in the first two, Tyler in the third). In the next two movies, this rule no longer applies and you can now transfer your soul into any human being as long as you possess a necklace named the Heart of Damballa. In the sixth and seventh movies, he doesn't ''need'' the necklace to do this anymore, ultimately leading to [[spoiler:Chucky [[TeamRocketWins finally winning]]]].

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: While interacting with his votaries in the Spirit Realm, he takes the form of the person they revere the most. Given that Chucky's a raging {{narcissist}}, in his case Damballa appears in the form of his doll body.
* TheGhost: He doesn't appear in the movies, but does play a crucial role since it is because of his powers that Chucky is able to cheat death ''multiple'' times.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Damballa's name is said in each and every movie of the series, and Chucky (or Tiffany and Glen) recite a chant to Damballa to grant a wish of theirs.

* SanitySlippage: By ''Cult'', it's clear that years of being hunted by and contending with Chucky have taken a toll on Andy. His hobby is torturing Chucky's decapitated head with whatever's around his house (blades, torches, etc.), while he takes extremely reckless measures in his war against Chucky across that film and the TV series. He even admits that he enjoyed torturing Chucky, later telling Father Bryce that he's unsure of what to do after Chucky dies because their vendetta has robbed him of any chance at a normal life.

* DoWrongRight: Damballa tells Chucky that he cares more about passion and originality in his disciples' kills than how many people they kill. Hence he remained unimpressed with Chucky because he considered his recent kills "coasting".
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: While interacting with his votaries in the Spirit Realm, he takes the form of the one they revere the most.

* DoWrongRight: Damballa tells Chucky that he cares more about passion and originality in his disciples kills than now many people they kill. Hence he remained unimpressed with Chucky because he considered his kills "coasting".

* BenevolentGenie: In the sense that he's benevolent to psychopath serial killers granting them any wish they desire so long as they do the chant.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Damballa's name is said in each and every movie of the series, and Chucky (or Tiffany and Glen) recites a chant to Damballa to grant a wish of theirs.

* HeroineWithBadPublicity: For being another unlucky LoserProtagonist who is WronglyAccused for Chucky's killings.

* LoserProtagonist: Even more so than Andy. Being in a wheelchair and mistreated by her BigSisterBully is bad enough, but to end up as a HeroineWithBadPublicity following being WronglyAccused and later ConvictedByPublicOpinion for Chucky's killings and later [[spoiler:becoming Chucky's first human vessel and not a KillerDoll this time]] is much worse. In the TV show, she's now [[spoiler:possessed by Chucky and even in her rare moments of regaining back her body, Tiffany is around to insure she stays a prisoner]].

* TragicHeroine: A wheelchair-bound HeroineWithBadPublicity whose reputation was destroyed by Chucky framing her for his crimes and later an implied rape victim set in a WorldOfJerkass.

* DisabledLoveInterest:[[spoiler: To Tiffany, although not on her own accord.]]

* LoserProtagonist: Even more so than Andy. Being wheel-chaired bound and mistreated by her BigSisterBully is bad enough, but to end up as a HeroineWithBadPublicity following being WronglyAccused and later ConvictedByPublicOpinion for Chucky's killings and later [[spoiler:becoming Chucky's first human vessel and not a KillerDoll this time]] is much worse. In the TV show, she's now [[spoiler:possessed by Chucky and even in her rare moments of regaining back her body, Tiffany is around to insure she stays a prisoner]].

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: In the first three movies, Chucky could only use Damballa's powers to transfer his soul out of the doll into the first human being he revealed himself to (Andy in the first two, Tyler in the third). In the next two movies, this rule no longer applies and you can now transfer your soul into any human being as long as you possess a necklace named The Heart of Damballa. In the sixth and seventh movies, he doesn't NEED the necklace to do this anymore ultimately leading to [[spoiler:Chucky [[TeamRocketWins finally winning]]]].

* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Andy mentions the killing of his babysitter (in the original film) and his foster parents (in the second film) by Chucky in the TV series, showing that he has never forgotten how the latter hurt him.]]

* TheHero: Is this by virtue of the most recurring heroic character in the movie series.

* MilitarySchool:

* ButtMonkey: It's one thing that next to nobody is willing to believe him about the danger Chucky poses, but his entire life story makes him arguably one of the biggest ones in all of horror. He's separated from his mother, constantly framed/blamed for Chucky's atrocities, and ends up getting sent to a military school after failing to readjust to society. Even after he [[TookALevelInBadass grows up]] he still suffers from this, as ''Cult'' shows him [[spoiler:living a secluded life and eventually locked in the mental institution where he'll likely be blamed for Chucky's latest killing spree ''again'']].
* BreakTheCutie: In first and second films as a child, when he is constantly pursued by the killer doll and is helpless to find anyone to believe him, help him and to acknowledge his innocence when Chucky frames Andy for his actions, especially in the [[CrapsackWorld film series' unkind universe]]. This even continues into his adulthood as it's revealed in ''Cult of Chucky'' [[spoiler:that Andy is now a weed-smoking gun collector who struggles to find a date partly down to his past.]]
* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:To Joanne in the second film after being framed for Phil's murder, resulting in her to TookALevelInJerkass and end up an AssholeVictim not long after. Averted with the third film, as while he was WronglyAccused by another character Major Ellis for his commander Shelton's death, Ellis to begin with already had established a low viewpoint of Andy under Shelton's entourage unlike characters in the film who initially supported the protagonist, but then turned against them after getting disillusioned by the initial viewpoints of them once catching them around the deaths of their acquaintances. In addition, Major Ellis is the only character who made a false accusation against the protagonist in the films overall who survives up to the end, while most key characters who made false accusations would be killed by Chucky not long after.]]

* HatedByAll: A subverted example. Andy's reputation was so damaged by Chucky's misdeeds and getting framed by him that is made him a locally mass social outcast of a pariah in front of everyone in this WorldOfJerkass. However, ''Chucky'' reveals that Kyle doesn't hate him.

* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:In the TV series, Andy mentions the killing of his babysitter (in the original film) and his foster parents (in the second film) by Chucky, showing that he has never forgotten what the latter took from him.]]

* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:He is this to Tiffany Valentine, as the pair never meet despite both appearing in ''Curse'', ''Cult'', and the TV series. Even when Andy encounters the doll version of Tiffany, amid an attempt to destroy the Chucky dolls, it still is not actually her.]]
* VillainKiller: Played a direct or indirect role in each of Chucky's deaths throughout the original trilogy.

* {{Ear Ache}}:[[spoiler: Due to surviving the explosion from Chucky’s childhood home, Kyle lost an ear.]]

* RebelliousPrincess: She wants to be more independent and start supporting herself through a series of jobs that she took. Kyle casually stated she has never spent more than a month in a foster home.

* BoyishShortHair: They sports this hairstyle when they return in the TV series.

* EveryoneHasStandards: By the time of the tv series. They are willing to kill without remorse including their own mother and look down on Glen's unwillingness as weakness. Yet they only kill with a cause and are disgused by their parents' selishiness and willingness to kill random people without reason or the drop of a hat.
* HeelFaceTurn: In the tv series, while still willing to kill they only do so with cause, have stopped the random acts of misbehavior, and are so disgusted by their parents they help sto stop their schemes.

* FosterKid:

* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:Despite not knowing them for that long, Andy mentions that Chucky killed his and Kyle's foster parents during the TV series, which further motivates his crusade against Chucky.]]
