History Characters / DotAndTheKangaroo

* {{Jerkass}}: A ''colossal'' one at that, even by Roundy standards. This is evident in his introduction scene, [[EstablishingCharacterMoment where he is first seen hitting Professor Globus for praising him]], repeatedly insulting Dot and Whyka when the Roundie Sergeant and his troops bring them to him (even going so far as ordering the Roundie Sergeant to [[KickTheDog throw Whyka away]]), cruelly taunting Dot after she is declared a square and refusing to remove her gag so she won't be able to deny it, and berates and whips his own son for trying to intervene on her behalf. Simply put, he basically enjoys being cruel, and he only gets worse as the film progresses.

** He cruelly taunts a BoundAndGagged Dot after she is declared a square, knowing that by refusing to remove her gag, she can't deny it.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Sort of, he appears only for the purpose of Dot rescuing him and him returning the favour but his leaving Dot and Funny-Bunny on Flying Fox leads to them discovering Battle beach, which leads to Funny-Bunny finally opening up about his TragicBackstory, [[spoiler: which leads to Dot asking the mother kangaroo to adopt him.]]

* HateSink: As bad as Papa Drop is, the Roundies (except for Roley) are equally complicit in the cruelty and suffering inflicted upon anyone who isn't perfectly round ([[WouldHurtAChild regardless of age or species]]), and they (along with the Sergeant) are directly responsible for dragging Dot into his FantasticRacism fueled conflict and [[spoiler: and nothing in the film indicates they show any remorse for their past actions after Papa Drop is overthrown.]]

The titular koala from ''Dot and the Koala'', who wants to stop a dam from being built in his hometown.

* IAmSong: In ''Dot and the Bunny'', though this helps them to lure Dot into their clutches.

** Dot reprimands them when one of them tries to eat Funny-Bunny but this puts her in danger as well until the Flying Fox arrives.

* NiceGirl: One of the kindest, most selfless and most empathetic little girls you'll ever meet. [[BewareTheNiceOnes That being said, the sequels show she's no pushover.]]

* {{Hypocrite}}: They call Dot out for being rude when they just insulted her and tried to eat her in quick succession.

* NiceGirl: One of the kindest, most selfless and most empathetic little girls you'll ever meet.

[[quoteright:480:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/keeto.jpg]]

** The one possible exception in this respect being Gorgo terrorising them and destroying their homes ([[NonMaliciousMonster: simply to get at the leaves that make up their roofs since he's a herbivore)]].

* WouldHurtAChild: They wish to eat Dot and try to bite her fingers.

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: They reform almost immediately once Papa Drop is exposed and overthrown and are easily forgiven with no comeuppance (other than possibly the Roundy Sergeant's own troops ditching him in favor of The Party/Roley for hoping Gorgo eats Dot, even if he knew this would scupper Papa Drop's plan) and there is absolutely no indication they showed any remorse for their past actions.]]

AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler: She resorts to this at the end of the movie when Dot is returned to her normal size.]]

* Hypocrite: They call Dot out for being rude when they just insulted her and tried to eat her in quick succession.

* UncannyValley: Just look at her eyes!

* VillainSong:

* NamesToRunAwayFrom: Her name is literally "Nasty", what else did you expect?

* VillainousBreakdown: When sees that Dot has escaped from her nest (albeit with the help of Keeto and Butterwalk), she violently attacks her to get her back into the nest.

* TooDumbToLive: What made him think it was a good idea to secure his jacket with a giant badge pin when he's a sentient balloon? He could at least have worn a jacket that fitted him properly unless Papa Drop forbade it or, despite being a high-ranking military officer, he somehow cannot afford one because Papa Drop's regime has ruined Pie-Arr-Squared's economy. That being said, [[spoiler: he should be thankful he didn't get overinflated like Papa Drop did in the climax, otherwise that bade pin would have been the death of him.]]

** His jacket is held together by what looks like a giant badge pin (a sharp object) and he's a sentient balloon...

** [[spoiler: When everyone confronts Papa Drop, it looks like he is prepared to have Dot, Whyka, "The Party", Gorgo and his own troops imprisoned to save his own hide.]]

* HateSink: He is almost as bad, if not ''worse'' than Papa Drop as he, along with his troops, [[BoundAndGagged ambush and abduct Dot and Whyka]] when they first set foot on Pie-Arr-Squared, [[TakeMeToYourLeader bring them to Papa Drop]] where they are subjected to persecution and public humiliation, [[KickTheDog and he uses Whyka as a yo-yo, believing her to be a toy]], all in his first scene. He also happens to be the [[WardensAreEvil warden for the Prison for Squaries]] where those who are not round enough are subjected to [[MadeASlave slavery,]] starvation and physical abuse. [[spoiler: When he and his troops attempt to recapture Dot, [[FedToTheBeast they leave her at the mercy of Gorgo, with him explicitly hoping Gorgo eats her (Though only because he knows this would scupper the plan of Papa Drop who, by this time, has betrayed him)]], and [[NonMaliciousMonster when it is revealed that Gorgo only eats Dot's gag]] and is the pet of "The Party" (Roley in disguise), he then berates and orders his troops to capture both of them under the threat of being imprisoned by Papa Drop just to save his own skin. It is near impossible for feel sorry for him when his own troops ditch him and join the side of "The Party", Dot and Gorgo to expose Papa Drop as a fraud and dethrone him.]]

* WithMyHandsTied: She does this to the Roundies in ''Dot in Space'', stamping hard on their feet and kicking them in the face.
