History Characters / DeptfordMice

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: Madame Akkikuyu leads Isaac to Mahooot's tree where he finds Jenkin's remains in owl pellet form along with his mousebrass, resulting in him having a HeroicBSOD. This was part of Nicodemus's plan to get Isaac enraged enough to create a mousebrass of hate to curse Audrey, which would be a crucial ingredient in the spell that would release the spirit from limbo ([[spoiler:he was really Jupiter in disguise]]).

* TagalongKid: At times she can be this.

"Good?" shrieked the ratwife in outrage. "Good? Don't you dare be polite - you little horror."

* BlackMagic: He uses it.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He is never referred to by his real name.
* EvilIsHammy: He gives off strong vibes of this.

* IHaveManyNames:
-->"Verily, 'tis I," he answered, "the purblind one, the dew hopper, the furze cat, the stag of the stubble, he with the leathery horns, the legs of the four winds - the Moon-Sent Angel."

* TheOmniscient
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: He is referred to as the Moon-Sent Angel.

* AlphaBitch

* [[HumanSacrifice Rodent Sacrifice]]: After [[spoiler:Audrey is tied into the Green Laws by her marriage to Twit]], Alison is to be the sacrifice that will allow [[spoiler:Jupiter's]] spirit to return to the living plane. She escapes after [[spoiler:Akkikuyu [[HeroicSacrifice casts herself]] into the bonfire she was to have been thrown into.]]

The lieutenant of Jupiter, who obeys his every command. He is a piebald rat from Cornwall and has served his master ever since throttling his predecessor, Black Ratchet.

* WeatherManipulation: When there is a drought in Fennywolde, the fieldmice approach Akkikuyu in the hopes that she has some magical way to make it rain. While she herself doesn't, Nicodemus [[spoiler:(a.k.a. [[BigBad Jupiter]])]] tells her to gather ingredients to cast a rain spell - a bird to represent air, and a fish to represent water. It works, but unfortunately, the shower doesn't last long.

* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:Hobb]]

-->"This is where the stars are studied," boomed Orfeo. "They search for answers far out in the deep heavens."
-->"When at their feet the Starwife knows all. Wise fools!" snorted Eldritch.

The envious brother of Jupiter, an ugly sable kitten who was the runt of the litter. He wants to learn magic, but is furious when he learns that only one member of any family may use it.

-->No other squirrel, red or black, had ever had the courage to explore these ghastly caverns. A sinister smile split Morwenna's face.
-->"Well, if they have," she muttered in a voice as sharp as her features, "none have ever returned."

This was the Starwife who ruled Greenreach before being betrayed and murdered by her trusted handmaiden, Morwenna. In her youth she had woven the magical protective barriers that prevented enemies from assailing the blessed hill - at least until Morwenna caused the enchantments to fail.

Husband of Klakkweena, and father of Fleabee and Scabmona.

* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:The Cain to his deceased brother, the original Jupiter. Growing up, he had to watch Jupiter being loved and cared for by Dr. Spittle while he was abused and called "Leech" for being an ugly runt. When Jupiter was prophecised to be the "Lord of All", Leech murdered him, took his name, and became the god everyone feared]].

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent

* NotSoDifferent: Morgan tells Piccadilly this during their duel, which disgusts the latter and causes him to snap out of the rage that had blinded him.

* ThemeNaming: Each of the Raith Sidhe are named after a sort of fairy from Celtic lore. Hobb gets his name from the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hob_(folklore) hob]], Mabb is named after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Mab Queen Mab]], and Bauchan gets his name from a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauchan Scottish hobgoblin]]. Hobb may also be a reference to "Old Hob", a nickname for {{Satan}}.

* PowerTrio

* TheJester: A kindly if cowardly one. [[spoiler:Later revealed to be evil all along]].

* [[LastOfHisKind Last of Her Kind]]: She is the sole remaining black squirrel.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: It's heavily implied Madame Akkikuyu spent her youth as a prostitute.

* {{Seer}}: What he is.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[MissingMom After her mother died]], [[AbusiveParents Molly's father]] [[MaternalDeathBlameTheChildwould lash out at her in his grief and anger over her death]].
