* OnlySaneMan: Unlike the other characters who are either TooDumbToLive, {{Jerkass}}es and AssholeVictims, or a FlatEarthAtheist who are all vulnerable to Chucky's wrath, Andy, along with other few supporting characters firmly on his side like his mother, Detective Mike Norris and Kyle, is able to recognize the danger Chucky poses and takes steps to avoid falling victim to the KillerDoll.

It slowly becomes OnlySaneByComparison starting around ''Cult'' and the TV series though, as he begins taking more reckless measures (like getting himself locked in an asylum with Chucky to stop him) over the course of his war.



* 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.



* OnlySaneWoman: She shares this with Andy in contrast with the other supporting characters who are either TooDumbToLive or {{Jerkass}}es.

* OnlySaneWoman: She shares this with Andy in contrast with the other supporting characters who are either TooDumbToLive or {{Jerkass}}es. Unlike Andy and Nica in the TV series, she remains this even as they slip into more self-destructive tactics.

* OnlySaneWoman: In She's quite rational in contrast to her BigScrewedUpFamily members.members. Even after being locked up in an asylum for four years and gaslit into thinking she's a murderer, the moment she realizes Chucky's coming for her she quickly snaps out of it and takes the initiative to protect herself plus others from the KillerDoll. By the TV series, however, [[spoiler:months of being under Chucky's possession, occasional moments of lucidity but unable to do anything about her plight, and Tiffany keeping her prisoner as a twisted display of love, have significantly eroded her sanity. Like Andy, Nica starts being OnlySaneByComparison.]]



* SanitySlippage: Immense trauma caused by Chucky, like with Andy, has done major damage to Nica's mental health, though she remains mostly intact after the deaths of her entire family, enough to try and make an attempt to stop him. [[spoiler:However, it's Tiffany's efforts to keep Nica around out of twisted affection for her that begins to truly break her – to the point that she's willing to ally with '''Chucky''' just to get revenge on Tiff. When she's freed from Chucky's possession, she prioritizes revenge on Tiff over revenge on him.]]



* [[HeWhoFightsMonsters She Who Fights Monsters]]: Much like Andy and Kyle, by the end of the second season of [[Series/{{Chucky}} the series]], she takes sadistic pleasure from the prospect of exacting revenge and torment upon Tiffany (and, quite likely, Chucky as well) for everything that she was subjected to by them, reveling in Tiffany's visible fear with a PsychoticSmirk as she stalks her (even though she simultaneously remains on good terms with Glen and Glenda, or G.G., as they come to be known, and is reluctant to involve them in her vendetta against their parents).
