Added DiffLines:

* KarmaHoudini: Despite being mostly complicit in the suffering of her fellow slaves, Django lets her escape before he blows up Candyland. Admittedly, she's never as actively malicious or conspiring as Stephen, mostly acting as window dressing, and it's not as if she has much of a say in whether or not her master wants to sleep with her.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He cuts his hand open while Schultz and Django are being held at gunpoint, but barely reacts, knowing he has to maintain control over the situation. [[ThrowItIn This actually happened]], as Leonardo [=DiCaprio=] [[ArtImitatesLife accidentally cut his hand open while shooting the scene but barely reacted, knowing he had to stay in character]].

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He truly seems to care for Candie. This is not hard to believe, considering Stephen has been serving the Candie family for 76 years; he probably helped ''raise'' Calvin. [[spoiler:Stephen is brought to tears when Schultz kills Candie.]]

* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:When he warns Django to stop antagonizing Candie, he specifically says he doesn't want Django to anger him such that the both of them die in Chickasaw County, Mississippi. Come to find, it's Schultz himself and his inability to avoid antagonizing Candie, culminating in him killing him, that results in him dying in said location.]]

* HappinessInSlavery: Much like Stephen, she seems happy to have eked out a relatively comfortable life for herself in a country that's preys, exploits and kills black people in the name of status and profit.

Added DiffLines:

* SouthernBelle: She has an exceptionally strong southern accent and lacks the standard twang most black people speak with. It's likely she intentionally tries to sound as white as possible.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Crash walks with a distinctive swaying gait and loose wrists, and lingers his finger on Django's nuts just a second too long for comfort. He also constantly makes "sarcastically" romantic remarks towards Django, such as saying he wishes to "walk in the moonlight" with him after he throws Pooch off his horse.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His introduction has him riding up to the Speck Brothers in the middle of the night in order to find Django, acting mostly dismissive towards their obviously immediate distaste for him, speaking to Django as if he's a human being rather than a piece of property, ensuring he's being held at gunpoint with lethal intent before quickly killing the brother aiming at him in self-defense, killing the other brother's horse such that it collapses on him and breaks his leg, ignores the man's screaming and cursing to forcefully buy Django off him, then frees the remaining slaves and gives them the means to kill their former captor before leaving with Django. Throughout all of this, he never loses his aura of free-spiritedness.
