History Characters / FlushedAway

* FrenchJerk: A GreenAndMean frog, rude to everybody, arrogant and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking is French]]. Lampshaded after the Toad recounts his backstory:

'''Le Frog''': I find '''everyone's''' pain funny, but my own. I'm French! (''chuckles'')

* BadassDecay: Living with Roddy's lavish lifestyle has put him through this ''big time''.

[[/folder]]

* MeaningfulName: He's a white rat named "Whitey."

* BumblingHenchmenDuo: He and Whitey are two rats working for Toad, going through much slapstick as they chase Roddy and Rita.

* AssholeVictim: Is the most abused character in the movie, but you won’t be feeling sorry for him since he is also a henchrat.

* FantasticRacism: He hates all rats to the point of obsession. [[spoiler: Mostly [[FreudianExcuse because his original owner, Prince Charles, had him replaced by a rat]] and flushed him down the sewers.]]

* LaserGuidedKarma: After he sends Roddy down the toilet, the constant life of luxury eventually turns him into an utter wimp that Roddy himself easily pushes around when they meet up again. [[spoiler:[[TheStinger And then there's the cat]].]]

* SpannerInTheWorks: He is a jerk that flushes Roddy away so he can act on his hedonistic desires. However, this cruel act led to the very reason why the sewer rats were able to survive [[spoiler: Toad flooding their city]].

* AssholeVictim: Is the most abused character in the movie, but you won’t be feeling sorry for him.

* KarmaHoudini: Despite being one of the Toad's henchmen, he never faces any consequences for aiding him. Somewhat downplayed in that he isn't shown explicitly doing anything ''evil'' throughout the movie and only seems to apply the bare minimum when working under the Toad's orders.

Toad's French cousin who comes to London and is the true mastermind of his plan.

* WealthyPhilanthropist: He agrees to help Rita's family out of poverty by offering her real minerals directly from his home if she helps him get back to the surface. [[spoiler:During a brief MakeUpBreakUpScenario, the deal is temporarily off, but they eventually come to terms with one another and Rita finally [[EarnYourHappyEnding earns her happy ending]].]]

* AffablyEvil: He crosses between being this and FauxAffablyEvil. During his first meeting with Roddy, Toad is actually quite hospitable and cordial, ecstatic to have another person from the upper class in a sewer filled with "pissants". It isn't until Roddy screws up and smashes half of his collection that Toad angrily orders Roddy to be frozen alongside Rita. And while he does plan to wipe out an entire city of rats, it doesn't stop him from being SophisticatedAsHell.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: She suffers quite a bit of misfortune, such as having her pants fall down and expose her underwear.

* KarmaHoudini: Despite being one of the Toad's henchmen, he never faces any consequences for aiding him.

A posh, yet lonely, upper-class rat who lives a luxurious life in an apartment in Kensington...until he's [[TItleDrop flushed away]] into the sewers by Sid, beginning Roddy's quest to return home.

** The first is when he tries to reach into her pocket to get a paperclip but ends up grabbing ''something else''.
-->'''Rita''': There's a paperclip in my back pocket. See if you can get it. *shrieks* In the pocket! '''The pocket'''!
** The other is when Roddy is forced to grab onto Rita's pants when they're zip-lining over the city and accidentally sees a bit too much.

* ActionSurvivor: Living with an upper class family has left Roddy with little to no experience with taking care of himself and he isn't as action-oriented as [[ActionGirl Rita.]] However, he eventually starts to learn how to pull his own weight and becomes more capable by the end of the film. It's ironic seeing how he's voiced by Creator/HughJackman.

* DistressedDude: Played straight for the first half of the movie, with Roddy always getting into trouble with Toad's men and always needing to be rescued by Rita. This is later subverted when Roddy becomes more badass and ends up [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl rescuing Rita]] during the final showdown.

* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: Displayed perfectly in one scene. Roddy makes Rita optimistic that she'll be able to redeem herself of her poor lifestyle by telling her that he has real minerals stored within a box in his home. Right after she tells her that he'll have to trust his word, Rita spits into her hand for their truce and indicates that he has to spit into his own by saying "You, too," which he immediately misinterprets as having to spit into Rita's hand.

* SmallNameBigEgo: His big ego mostly comes from the fact his owners were upper class. In a place like the sewers, his name and status up above amount to nothing.
* TookALevelInBadass: By the end of the film, Roddy has become more capable and independent to the point Rita decides to make him her first mate.

* BerserkButton: There are three things he can't stand: failure, his {{Mooks}}' incompetence, and having his prized royal possessions destroyed.

* WickedCultured: If his lair has anything to say about it. Makes sense given his wealthy origins and trying to recreate it to the best of his abilities.

* CasanovaWannabe: Le Frog establishes himself as one towards Rita, kneeling down and kissing her hand when he introduces himself aboard the Jammy Dodger. Far from being impressed, she just slaps him.

* FrenchJerk: A GreenAndMean frog, rude to everybody, arrogant and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking is French]]. Lampshaded in the movie.

* NationalStereotypes: Of France, obviously. He's rude, dislikes the British, is a literal ''[[VisualPun frog]]'' with a moustache, drinks coffee, has very long (as in, five-hour) mealtimes, includes a Mime Artist and accordion player among his troops, and is voiced by Creator/JeanReno.

'''Le Frog's Men''': (''all raise their hands in unison'') [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys We surrender!]]\\

-->'''Whitey''': Are you sure about this, Spike? I hear those things are dangerous.

* PunchClockVillain: He and Whitey are only working for Toad to pay the bills. Once Toad is defeated, they seem to have stopped being evil all together, although Spike still loves unhappy endings with lots of violence..

* HourglassPlot: The movie begins with Sid, a thuggish sewer rat, invading the wimpy Roddy's home and makes a total pushover out of him. Following his experiences down the sewers, Roddy returns as a hardened, bitter rat with a foul temper and a commanding personality, whereas Sid's time living the luxurious lifestyle rubs the edge out of him and he's reduced to being an even bigger wimp than Roddy used to be, with the latter ''now'' pushing Sid around.

!!Roddy

-->'''Roddy''': There's so many things I want to do, sights I want to see!
-->''(Rita's pants fall slightly)''

* ActionSurvivor: Living with an upper class family has left Roddy with little to no experience with taking care of himself and isn't as action oriented as [[ActionGirl Rita.]] However, he eventually starts to learn how to pull his own weight and becomes more capable by the end of the film. It's ironic seeing how he's voiced by Creator/HughJackman.

* AmazonChaser: He falls in love with Rita, an enterprising scavenger who is one of Toad's arch enemies.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He may be full of himself at times and can be a bit of a pushover, but if he's in a bad mood, just ask [[FatBastard Sid]].
* ButtMonkey: Roddy suffers some AmusingInjuries during about half of the movie, such as suffering an {{overly long|Gag}} GroinAttack when getting down to group with Rita after escaping the Toad.

* InnocentBystander: Roddy TRIES to paint himself as one, saying the exact words. Unfortunately, everyone else [[MondegreenGag thought he was introducing himself as "Millicent Bystander"]].

* ActionGirl: Dispatches the mooks easily and is good at getting out of trouble.[[note]]While also having to save Roddy's tail on a regular basis.[[/note]]
* ActionHero: See lancer below.

* {{Foil}}: She's one to Roddy. Rita is a somewhat humble, level-headed, self-sufficiant person who barely has enough money to live in a stable house. Roddy lives in an actual mansion of privilege, and has somewhere to store rubies and jewels, but he is extremely lacking the sense to be self-sufficient.

* {{Tsundere}}: She's easily annoyed by Roddy's incompetence and inexperience, but eventually starts to warm up to him and turns out to be pretty nice once you get to know her.

-->'''Le Frog''': ''[about Toad]'' He's cuckoo, but family.

-->'''Toad''': "You find my pain ''FUNNY''?!"\\
'''Le Frog''': "I find everyone's pain funny but my own. I'm French! *chuckles*"

* NationalStereotypes: Of France; he's rude, dislikes the British, is a literal ''frog'', drinks coffee and is voiced by Creator/JeanReno.

--> '''Le Frog''': "Okay, men. ''To action''!"\\
'''Le Frog's Men''': (Raise their arms) "''[[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys We surrender]]''!"\\
'''Le Frog''': "''No!'' No that one, you idiots! The kung fu thing!"

* EmbarassingMiddleName: Invoked in a conversation with Whitey.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: If it weren't for him, Roddy would have never ended up in the sewers.
