History Characters / GunnerkriggCourtOtherStudents

* BittersweetEnding: "Traveller". [[spoiler:Paz's glass stone has been returned to her, in a better way than she remembered it, but she's still in mourning for the pup that swam away from her, to its death as she believes.]]

* DownerEnding: Of "Red's Friend Gets A Name Too I Suppose" [[spoiler: and Annie's friendship with Red and Ayilu. While she never raises her voice to Annie, Red is so upset that Annie almost got Ayilu killed that she tells her to never speak to her or Ayilu ever again.]] End of chapter.

* JerkAssHasAPoint: Red might be coming from a place of "fear and anger" and trauma over Ayilu's safety, possibly glossed over or didn't notice ''why'' Annie hesitated to get Smitty to safety (she didn't want to pay the Guides' cost), completely ignored the others' motivations and level of intel on the dangers Jeanne posed and that she had "nothing to add and nothing to lose" when she inserted herself into Annie's plan and might even be blaming Annie for something that was her own fault (as far as we know she was only there because Ayilu was there, she seemed to get complacent when the plan was working and distracted Ayilu when they was supposed to be keeping an eye on Jeanne and Parley) (from Something Awful's thread) but that doesn't mean her basic points aren't wrong.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Mostly Red, but Ayilu has her moments too, such as the whole "Red's hair" incident.

* BookEnds: [[spoiler: Assuming they really never cross paths with Annie again: Red enters Annie's life by happily asking Annie to kill herself and Ayilu and exits upset that she almost got Ayilu killed.]]

* CallBack: Red confiding to Annie about what happened when she named Ayilu [[spoiler: is an echo of Anthony's behavior in Chapter 51: She was freaking out about someone she loved and said something outrageous but she isn't going to tell her that because "it's none of her stupid business!", but she's willing to tell someone else she trusts]].

* ItMakesAsMuchSenseInContext: Red wears an old-fashioned military uniform in "Red's Friend Gets A Name Too I Guess" with no explanation given aside from the Court logo patch on her cap.

** In "Red's Friend Gets A Name Too I Guess" [[spoiler: Red declares that after seeing Ayilu almost get killed by Jeanne she loves her and wants to spend the rest of her life with her (but not to Ayilu, that's none of her business)]].

* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: The very first page of "Red's Friend Gets A Name Too I Guess" is Red confidently saying she's going to name her friend Blue. That does not happen.

** Ayilu might be even more extreme, when she got her name she looked ''incredibly'' pissed while saying she loves it with a background full of hearts, then (after consulting Annie on how it could be spelled) wrote it on a paper airplane and tossed it away, wrote it on a vase then smashed it, wrote it on another piece of paper and burned it, and wrote it in big red letters all over the room they're in. Annie wonders if this is a traditional celebration but Red has no idea what Ayilu's doing.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech / WhatTheHellHero: Red echoes Muut's observation that by involving so many people in freeing Jeanne (and her boyfriend) -- Ayilu in particular by offering "nothing" (a name) for something (Ayilu's illusions) -- that Annie put other people at risk in place of herself. Red also pointed out how messed up it was that Annie delayed teleporting Smitty to a hospital to save his life (as many people noted in the comments); Annie, who doesn't have a good track record of defending herself (see "Faraway Morning" and "Get It Together"), says she did that because ''she didn't want to get in trouble''. Red also points out that Annie didn't exactly give Kat a choice to help with the plan by basically telling her "You're the only one who can do this". On the other hand even she knows that facing Jeanne alone was out of the question and even says "IDidWhatIHadToDo" for her!

* WhatTheHellHero: Red echoes Muut's observation that by involving so many people in freeing Jeanne (and her boyfriend) -- Ayilu's involvement in particular by getting something (Ayilu's illusions) for nothing (a name) and hesitating to save Smitty's life by making a deal with the Guides -- that Annie put other people at risk in place of herself.

* TookALevelInBadass: Comes back from her training retreat able to jump like a cricket and break walls with her hands.

* MuscleAngst: She's a bit worried that [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1683 her training with Eglamore may have given her too much muscle for Smitty's liking]].

* LargeHam: [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=388 When she talks to Mort]]. Parley tend to go over the top in ''everything''--her idea of "officially" admitting her relationship is to [[spoiler:grab her boyfriend, teleport on her friends' path and proceed with kissing him... ''long enough to get concerned looks from observers'']].

** Gets an interesting deconstruction later when he mentions that while he can predict ''when'', he never knows ''why'' she's coming. Hence why he holds off on doing this too much: for all he knows, something bad has happened, and she needs his help.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Hard to tell. They're considered best friends and are also CuddleBug[=s=]. While they were fairies, they literally were hanging all over each other. Now that they're human, it's different -- but they get moments of [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=993 devoted adoration]], though [[{{Tsundere}} interlaced]] with [[VitriolicBestBuds taunting and fighting]].

%% * CommonEyeColors: Inverted.

As TheFairFolk, both girls are largely [[OrangeAndBlueMorality lacking in tact and empathy]]. Red has a [[MoodSwinger mercurial]] personality, bordering on psychotic, while "Blue's" personality is more subdued, but no less capricious.

[[folder:Red and "Blue"]]

Two Regional Fairies who [[HumanityEnsues become humans]]. Prior to entering the Court, they didn't even have names. Only Red has an actual name, and she didn't even have ''that'' for a long time until Annie accidentally gave it to her. The other is called "Blue" by the fans just for convenience and [[RedOniBlueOni thematic sake]].

Annie meets them again, after their {{Metamorphosis}}, several months later. Red is distraught because her hair doesn't [[AnimeHair stand up anymore]], and consequently, [[MinorFlawMajorBreakup "Blue" will no longer be her friend]]. A [[ImportantHaircut visit to the barber]] sets things straight.

Red and "Blue" are in Foley House, which is apparently reserved for Suicide Fairies and other Gillitie emigrants; according to Jones, this is to keep the emigrants from being "named" by accident by ordinary people, as emigrants are only supposed to receive a name once they graduate.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: "Blue". She's not human, of course, but her human form looks like someone of Indian ethnicity.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Mostly Red, but "Blue" has her moments too, such as the whole "Red's hair" incident.

* TheFairFolk: Even after being turned into humans Red and "Blue" can be alien enough to leave Kat and even Annie round-eyed and slack-jawed. [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=330 Love for mischief]] is one of more [[ComedicSociopathy endearing and understandable]] traits of ex-fairies.
* HiddenDepths: During the 2013 spring break, "Blue" proves she actually has a talent that doesn't serve her self-centered caprices: [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/junk/CF3_8scan.jpg painting]] in a rather lovely, abstract style.

* MasterOfIllusion: Within the ether, "Blue" can create elaborate illusions backed up by temporary FakeMemories and EmotionControl. It seems to go away once people realize what's going on, and the Foley kids are used to it, but when she really exerts herself the effects can border on a LotusEaterMachine.

* RedOniBlueOni: Red is definitely the more fiery of the two while "Blue" is more pouty and vindictive.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: When they are shown wearing something other than the school uniform, Red is in a suit while "Blue" is in a dress.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Mostly Red, but Blue has her moments too, such as the whole "Red's hair" incident.

* OurSoulsAreDifferent: [[spoiler: They're "hollow fairies", born with their souls outside their bodies (which are basically empty shells). Coyote implies that they're always meant to become human and go to the Court; this may be true of all ex-fairies.]]

* ADayInTheLimelight: With the release of "The Traveller," Paz is the currently the only character, besides Annie, who's had her own side comic.

* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway --> HeartIsAnAwesomePower: His power is to subconsciously create order, meaning he can do things like throw a deck of cards in the air and have it come out in a perfectly sorted pile. However, in Chapter 30 he starts discovering ways to apply his power to make near-impossible throws, help Parley in combat, and a pseudo-prediction ability.

* HimeCut: Though like Annie and Kat, she changes her hairstyle regularly.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: Her first ability. There seems to be more to her.

* ICannotSelfTerminate: Why they needed Annie's help to die. [[spoiler: Ysengrin killed them shortly after, with the implication that they'd seen too much]].

* MindControl - CharmPerson (possibly), DreamWeaver, FakeMemories, MassHypnosis: Only in the ether, as far as we know: Blue can create illusions and even "insert" information into people's minds (Annie knows all about the monster Blue created despite it not existing seconds before). It seems to go away once people realize what's going on, and apparently Blue does this so often the other Foley kids are used to it.

* OurSoulsAreDifferent: [[spoiler: They're "hollow fairies", born with their souls outside their bodies (which are basically empty shells). Apparently they were always meant to become human and go to the Court (because "it wants what it wants" -- Coyote); this may be true of all ex-fairies.]]
