History Characters / CorpseBride

-->'''Lady Everglot:''' We shall continue as planned, with or without Vincent.\\
''' Lady. Everglot:''' Victor.\\

* BigBad: Of the movie.

* DirtyCoward: Beneath his superficial persona not only lies a manipulative man who's willing to commit murder to quench his greed, but also to mask away his fear of death as he panics when the undead shows up. And when his crimes get exposed while he accidentally drinks poisoned wine, which gave the undead the opportunity to punish him, all he can do is to scream like a helpless woman while attempting to escape to no avail.

* GracefulLoser: Subverted in a way that directly leads to his demise. When Emily intercepts his attempt to stab Victor with a sword by taking it in her own gut, then turns the weapon on him, he takes the turn of events quite courteously and backs off ("{{Touche}}, my dear.") only to spitefully double around and mock Emily on how she was "always the bridesmaid, ''never'' the bride!" [[LaserGuidedKarma And in mockingly toasting her, he obliviously drinks the poisoned wine]] meant for Victor, killing him, meaning he would've gotten out if actually ''had'' conceded gracefully and left without trying to salt the wound.

* TheSociopath: Many of his character traits line up perfectly with antisocial personality disorder. He has a total lack of regard for other people, prioritizes short-term gain over all else, lies his way into getting what he wants, will pretend to befriend people only to betray them when he has no more use for them, and has no qualms about murder.

* InformedAttractiveness: The song "Remains Of The Day" describes him as "plenty good looking" and also implies that [[spoiler:it's the reason why Emily fell for him.]]

-->'''Barkis''': Always the bridesmaid, but never the bride! Tell me, my dear...can a heart still break once it's stopped ''beating''? Hm?

* {[Irony}}: Despite being undead, they're a lot more lively than the stiff and humdrum people who are actual alive.

* {{Jerkass}}: His behaviour is very unsympathetic right from the start when he insults most people present. He seems to get on with the Everglots, who are jerks as well.

A couple of jolly dead people that live in the Underworld.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was murdered by her fianc&eacute, and that's the reason she cannot pass on. [[spoiler:Once said fiancé finally gets his KarmicDeath (meaning his sins against her were punished) and she lets go of Victor (meaning she won't hold on anything from the living realm any longer), she finally can rest in peace.]]

Victor's pretty, sweet-natured, yet timid fianc&eacutee. She is kind and shy, yet determined when she puts her mind to it.

* RomanticFalseLead: [[spoiler:He's Emily's former fianc&eacutee, who murdered her and then tried to do the same thing to Victoria.]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was murdered by her fiance, and that's the reason she cannot pass on. [[spoiler:Once said fiancé finally gets his KarmicDeath (meaning his sins against her were punished) and she lets go of Victor (meaning she won't hold on anything from the living realm any longer), she finally can rest in peace.]]

Victor's pretty, sweet-natured, yet timid fiancee. She is kind and shy, yet determined when she puts her mind to it.

* RomanticFalseLead: [[spoiler:He's Emily's former fiancee, who murdered her and then tried to do the same thing to Victoria.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Why go up there, when people are'' dying ''to get down here?"'']]

* DoWithHimAsYouWill: Kind of; while he hadn't directly wronged them [[spoiler:the undead are all disgusted at what he had done to Emily, but they can't do anything to him while he's alive. But the minute when he finall dies, they have at him and prepare to make him suffer, ''big time'']].

* LosingYourHead: Paul the Head Waiter, who has to walk through the aid of some bugs (and one of them acts as a bowtie).

* CatchPhrase: "Hear ye, hear ye!", which was a real traditional town crier call (although the real one was in French).

* StupidEvil: During TheClimax. [[spoiler:Even after he learns about Victoria's poverty (which ruins his latest GoldDigger scheme), he still tries to take her away for some reason ("I'll not leave here empty-handed!") -- when the pragmatic thing to do would've been just getting out of dodge and trying again with someone else entirely. Its not like news travel fast during this period to fear getting exposed as a married man. Likewise, all those undead he previously hid from like the DirtyCoward that he is? Well, now he can't resist cranking his SmugSnake-ness up to the max -- and this is before he learns they can't do anything to him while he's still alive. And ultimately, he's literally TooDumbToLive -- by arrogantly toasting everyone with a substance just about anyone else would be more cautious about, as it was brought from the dead.]]

* DoWithHimAsYouWill: Kind of; while he hadn't directly wronged them [[spoiler:the undead are all disgusted at what he had done to Emily, but they can't do anything to him while he's alive. The minute he croaks, they have at him and prepare to make him suffer, ''big time'']].

* VitriolicBestBuds: When it comes to Victor and his faithfulness to Emily, she and the Maggot don't exactly [[IncrediblyLamePun see eye to eye]].

-->'''Mr. Everglot:''' We shall continue as planned, with or without Vincent.\\
'''Mrs. Everglot:''' Victor.\\
'''Mr. Everglot:''' Whatever.

* FatBastard: Mr. Everglot, an overweight {{Jerkass}} in an unwanted marriage, who is also dwarfed by his wife.

* LeanAndMean: Mrs. Everglot, a miserable woman in an unwanted marriage and towers her much smaller husband. Luckily her daughter Victoria is nothing like her.

* TheUnsmile: When Mr. Everglot is ordered to smile, he gives a very awkward half-smile, half-frown.

* WomenAreWiser: Mrs. Everglot appears to be the brains of the two, given that she correct’s Victor’s name to her husband.

* {{Expy}}: As noted on the main page, Enn Reitel's performance as the Maggot is one big shout-out to Creator/PeterLorre.

* ChekhovsGunman: Seemingly a background character and assistant to the Van Dorts, his death serves to kick Victor's decision to marry Emily now that Victoria married Lord Barkis.

* ObviouslyEvil: From his design and entrance, you can instantly tell he has no good intentions at all and it's true. [[spoiler:He murdered Emily, and intends to kill Victoria once he gets her family's fortune.]] And his chin. His evil, evil chin.

* DemBones: A dog turned a skeleton when he arrived to the Underworld.

* CoolOldGuy: Although he tries to uphold the rules, he can't resist Emily's charms, and he gives the dead full permission to exact revenge on Barkis once they're able.
