History Characters / Frankenweenie

* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being much of a {{Jerkass}} to Victor, he is fully aware that Victor held enough knowledge to bring Sparky back to life, which he uses himself to revive Shelly; he's willingly to plead for help from Victor after Shelly has grown out of control.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Nassor is comedically turned into a living mummy by stumbling into some ribbons while trying to run from Shelly Toshaki's undead Kaiju turtle and then falling into a Russian Nesting Doll Case which closes on him and becomes his makeshift coffin. The audience doesn't see him after that and his fate is unknown. He could potentially be BuriedAlive. [[FridgeHorror Forever]].

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Nassor is an Arabic name, but unlike Toshiaki, his ethnicity is undisclosed.

* TokenMinority: The only major non-white character in the story.

[[folder:Mr. Burgermeister]]

* GrumpyBear: A real grouch of a man.

* NiceGuy: A kind and friendly young man.

* TheComicallySerious: He is so darn [[LargeHam melodramatic and exaggerated about everything]], that he ends up being hilarious in a pompous sort of way.

* ObliviouslyEvil: He's got an unpleasant personality and is the closest thing to an OverarchingVillain in the film (aside from [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom Mr. Whiskers]]), but his intentions are usually quite well-meaning from his perspective.

* SkunkStripe: After Sparky accidentally electrocutes her.
