* PunishedForSympathy: Back when Vaggie was still an Exorcist, she encountered a terrified demon child and felt sorry enough for them to let them go away. The fact that she showed anything but complete disdain for demons and sinners led to Lute slashing her eye, cutting her wings off, and leaving her to die in Hell while the Exorcists finished the extermination and returned to heaven.



* SatelliteLoveInterest: Vaggie's role in the pilot ammounted to Charlie's supportive girlfriend who didn't wanna see her get hurt over her idea for the hotel and not much else. The series proper, while still mostly linking her with Charlie, does give her some depth by both interacting with more characters like Alastor and Carmilla, and revealing her connection to heaven.

* TwoferTokenMinority: She's both Latina and a lesbian.lesbian in a relationship with Charlie. This later becomes a ''Three''fer when she's revealed to be a former Exorcist, making her an angel working in a hotel populated by demons and Sinners.

Since Vaggie became a BIG spoiler magnet, I'm unmarking them all and putting a big warning at her folder header. Plus her status as a Walking Spoiler qualifies her for this by default.

* AlienBlood: It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler:she has gold-colored blood due to actually being an Angel, contrasting the Sinners and Hellborn demons--who have a variety of blood colors]].
* AlmightyJanitor: She seems like just an ordinary Sinner but [[spoiler:is actually a [[FallenAngel former Exorcist]]. Angels in the Hellaverse are inherently stronger than demons and the Exorcists have been completely unopposed in their slaughter of Sinners until recently due to how badly they outgun them, meaning that while Vaggie doesn't appear to be too notable in the angelic hierarchy, she is still stronger than the vast majority of Sinners in Hell.]]

* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler:The reveal that Vaggie is a FallenAngel rather than a sinner brings her backstory into question. WordOfGod has made mention of her being Salvadoran and having died sometime in the 2010s, but it's also mentioned that Adam gave her the name Vaggie. Was Vaggie a human who ascended to Heaven and got a name change later? Or was she an angel born in Heaven and given her name after racking up a bunch of kills during her stint as an Exorcist? The fact that she speaks Spanish and looks fairly human-like implies that the backstory of her being human once is true, but it's still unclear.]]

[[MuggingTheMonster That in turn means everyone who gets on her nerves in the series is taunting one of the people who go on a yearly unopposed murderous rampage and is mostly kept alive by Vaggie not wanting to look like a monster in front of Charlie]].]]

Of course, this turns out to have been [[NiceJobBreakingItHero a bad idea]] because Lute is too fanatically focused on killing sinners to allow it to slow her down, even tearing off her own arm in order to resume the fight.

* DemonOfHumanOrigin: Like all sinners, she was once a human before dying and becoming a demon in Hell. [[spoiler: Come Episode 6, however, this is outright ''{{subverted|Trope}}'', or at least downplayed (her being of human origin remains ambiguously possible, and she could technically count as something trope-analogous to a demon).

She used to be one of the Exorcists who came down from Heaven for the extermination, but when she showed a demon mercy, Lute gouged out her eye, and berated her for her actions before tearing her wings off and Adam took her Halo.

The host of the hotel and Princess of Hell, Charlie is an altruist of unparalleled kindness who's willing to offer Hell's lowest of the low a chance to change for the better. Regardless of how many damned souls ridicule her dream, she's determined to make a humane way of reducing the population a reality.
----
* ActionGirl: In the season 1 finale, she proves that she is a very powerful combatant by fending of tons Exorcists with her shield and magical blasts and goes into her true demon mode to injure Adam with her demonic trident and manages to successfully nullify and block a fully-powered punch from him with relative ease.
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Despite being demonic royalty, Charlie receives very little respect from the denizens of Hell and is constantly mocked for her positive worldview. [[spoiler:Subverted in the Season 1 finale, where the residents of Hell, even [[{{Jerkass}} Katie Killjoy]], appear to be showing her a lot more respect after defeating Adam and the Exorcists' attack on the Hotel, though with the [[BigDamnHeroes help of her father]].]]
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:In ''Dad Beat Dad'', Lucifer manages to get her a meeting with the angels so she can plead her case that souls can be reformed. In ''Welcome to Heaven'', despite finally meeting angels that were seemingly far more reasonable than [[BigBadDuumvirate Adam and Lute]], they (or at least Sera) find that [[TheHedonist Angel Dust]] [[TookALevelInKindness making genuine strides to redeem himself]] isn't sufficient evidence that souls can be redeemed; in fact, they don't even ''know'' why souls make it to Heaven or Hell in the first place, only ''when''. Not only that, but Adam threatens that once the next [[FinalSolution Extermination]] begins, [[AndYourLittleDogToo he is going to personally visit the Hazbin Hotel to murder the residents there.]] The only silver lining is that Adam and Lute unwittingly exposed the existence of the Extermination to the rest of the angels, who are notably horrified, Emily in particular.]]
* AllLovingHero: She loves her people and is willing to do the impossible to help even the cruelest damned souls avoid a timely demise. When it's revealed that Sir Pentious was sent by Vox to spy on the hotel, Charlie immediately forgives him and offers him a second chance. [[spoiler:This attitude even extends to the genocidal angel Adam. Despite hating his guts for the billions of deaths he's remorselessly caused, Charlie prevents her father from killing him after he gave Adam a beatdown, even feeling sympathy for Adam's suffering, and is in shock when he's ultimately killed by Nifty.]]
* AnimalMotifs: Dogs. Her nose looks like a snout, she has prominent canine teeth, and her friendliness and hyper-enthusiastic demeanour are traits commonly associated with {{Big Friendly Dog}}s.
* AntiAntichrist: Charlie, daughter of Lucifer and the Princess of Hell. Despite what her lineage may imply, she genuinely cares about her people, and wants to find a more humane way of dealing with its overpopulation. Moreover, unlike other characters, she hasn’t done anything horrible, despite ironically being born in Hell.
* ApologeticAttacker: In "The Show Must Go On", Charlie keeps saying ''"Sorry"'' everytime she blocks or attacks angels. A slightly exasperated Vaggie tells her that this isn't the time to be sorry. Charlie then promptly swings back the pendulum by shouting ''"Die motherfuckers!"'' while blasting them with her powers.
* ArtEvolution: In the pilot, Charlie's hair was looser and had a single tie at the bottom, and her pupils were black except during certain moments where she transformed. In the "ADDICT" video, her hair was tied up in a twice banded low ponytail, and her suit was a brighter red. In the show proper, Charlie has had more noticeable changes than the other characters with her hairstyle from "ADDICT" is retained and her outfit and pupils now permanently red.
* BattleCouple: She and Vaggie fight side-by-side when [[spoiler:Adam and the Exterminators come to the Hotel]].
* BadassInDistress: She gets strangled and overpowered by Adam in the season 1 finale requiring Lucifer to save her before Adam could get the killing blow on her. She returns the favor later on by blocking Lucifer from Adam's surprise sneak punch
* TheBeautifulElite: She's second only to her father and mother in the Inferno's hierarchy and is quite pretty. Adam even calls her "Lilith's little hottie".
* BenevolentBoss: Goes hand-and-hand with her AllLovingHero NiceGirl personality. Charlie is nothing but a fair, sweet-tempered employer to Hazbin Hotel employees; by the final season 1 episode, she refers to them as her family.
* BewareTheNiceOnes:
** Charlie is a polite and affable lady, but she doesn’t enjoy being mocked for her vision of rehabilitating souls. When Katie Killjoy provoked her enough in the pilot, Charlie fought her in a full-on brawl. Note that Charlie clearly has the ability to [[OneWingedAngel take on a]] [[NightmareFace more monstrous form]] (as demonstrated during her song), and yet she still held her own against a transformed Katie without transforming herself. Similarly, she briefly turns demonic when Adam mocks her dream.
** When she finally sees just how badly Valentino abuses Angel in ''Masquerade'', she's so furious that she nearly confronts him in her full-demon form, who is only spared from what she ''could've'' done to him because Angel interjects to get rid of her.
--->'''Charlie:''' [[VoiceOfTheLegion What makes you think you can]] ''[[VoiceOfTheLegion TREAT HIM LIKE THAT!?]]''
** Charlie is more powerful than Alastor, who is TheDreaded even among the denizens of Hell. It's Charlie's temperament that holds her back from revealing her true power. [[spoiler:This is shown for the first time in "The Show Must Go On", where both Alastor and Charlie end up fighting against Adam at some point. While Alastor is forced to retreat, Charlie manages to both wound Adam with her pitchfork and do a PunchCatch on him when Adam tries to kill both her and Lucifer.]]
* BeyondRedemption: It's Charlie's goal to [[DefiedTrope defy]] this with the hotel. She believes that no demon is truly beyond help, and that anyone can be redeemed to Heaven if they put in the effort. Trouble is, very few people think she can succeed. Alastor is hanging around the hotel specifically because he thinks she'll fail, and it'll be fun to watch her squirm. Meanwhile, Adam (and all of Heaven, from the way he tells it) think demons are irredeemable monsters who they kill for sport, with Adam outright telling Charlie that her dream is impossible. [[spoiler:Even though she is right that sinners like Angel Dust can change for the better, it doesn't get him into Heaven since not even Heaven's leadership knows what it actually takes to get there in the first place. Ironically Adam is more irredeemable than the sinners he purge and ends up dying completely unrepentant, but even then Charlie made a point to spare him and wasn't happy to see him killed.]]
* BigRedDevil: While her normal appearance lacks most of the associated traits beyond being dressed predominantly in red, when angry she grows the horns expected of the typical appearance, and her feet are hoofed rather than humanlike under the shoes. She even has the tail at her most demonic.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Downplayed since she doesn’t look or sound particularly androgynous, but she prefers suits over dresses.
* BlushSticker: A consistent part of her cute design is a permanent set of rosy cheeks. They even remain in her NightmareFace, though less noticeable due to her SlasherSmile pushing them behind her eyes. As seen in a picture of Lucifer and Lilith, Charlie got these from her father.
* BornOfHeavenAndHell: Her mom is a human-turned-demon and her dad is a fallen angel.
* BreakTheCutie: It happens to her twice. First when all the people in the news station laugh at her idea of the hotel. The second time is the aftermath when, thanks to Angel, the Hotel's reputation is dragged through the mud even further. She even tried calling her mother for advice, despite the call not even going to voicemail, admitting she doesn’t know what she's doing or how to make her plan work.
** Episode 6 really puts her through the wringer. She not only learns that Heaven isn’t as great as she thought, but also that [[spoiler: Vaggie, her girlfriend, is a former Exorcist who has killed thousands of her people and never told her about it]].
* BriefAccentImitation: In the pilot, she takes a British one when promising Vaggie that "I'll just have to rely on my impeccable improv skills" instead of expressing herself through song. She does this again in "Masquerade" while telling Angel that she goes wherever she pleases.
* BurningWithAnger: Downplayed. Charlie's demon form features hair that burns like fire and she gains a pair of horns when she's legitimately angry and lapses into it.
* CassandraTruth: Charlie's belief that sinners can redeem themselves is met with universal mockery in Hell and rejected by Heaven. Even most of the staff and the first guest at her hotel aimed at redemption don't believe in it's mission statement. After all, in the long history of the universe not once has any sinner ascended to Heaven. [[spoiler: Sir Pentious popping into Heaven as an angel proves her right.]]
* CostumeEvolution: In the pilot her tuxedo had a red jacket with black trim, and black pants with red trim. In the series proper, her tux is all red, with dark red accents on the collar and sleeve cuffs, and she wears an untucked shirt underneath, a smaller bowtie and a name tag.
* CovertPervert: Charlie is a sweet, AllLovingHero demon in a committed and stable relationship with Vaggie. That being said, in a brief moment in her song, Charlie is shown holding up a demon's bra with a sly smile.
* CuteLittleFangs: She has some fangs that complement her cute look. It's one of the only outward signs that she isn't human. They're much more prominent in the series proper.
* TheCutie: Charlie’s an adorable, bubbly, naïve, song-loving NiceGirl of a princess, idealistic and lover of rainbows and puppies. She stands in stark contrast to the rest of Hell.
* DarkIsNotEvil: She is the princess of hell and one of the most heroic characters.
* DarkestHour: [[spoiler: The start of episode 7 sees her crying in bed. She failed to convince Heaven to give sinners a second chance, she learned Vaggie has been lying to her about being a FallenAngel, and she has only one month to save the hotel from the next extermination and she has no idea how to do it]].
* DealWithTheDevil: While she's savvy enough to avoid making any binding contracts with Alastor regarding his patronage of the Hotel, instead just telling him to help for as long as he wants of his own free will since he's the one who came to her expressing interest, after being driven into a corner by the impending Extermination with no solution she's ultimately desperate enough to from a contract with him in exchange for information on how to defeat the Exorcists. Though she doesn't sell her soul thankfully, instead promising Alastor one favor that he may name at a future date, with the stipulation that she will not harm anyone during that request.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Charlie is basically the Franchise/DisneyPrincess of Hell -- she has the [[WideEyedIdealist idealism]] and the [[FriendToAllLivingThings personality]] down, but instead of an idyllic medieval kingdom, she rules over a hyper-violent, crime-infested [[WretchedHive urban]] [[AccidentalPun hell]][[WretchedHive scape]]. Consequently, her royal status doesn’t get her any love or respect from her subjects, and the sheer horribleness of the environment means that most of the denizens see her determined altruism as hopelessly naïve at best and dangerous at worst.
* DemonLordsAndArchdevils: She holds the title of Princess of Hell. However, she's less of an infernal demonic mistress and more a garden-variety Franchise/DisneyPrincess, complete with bouncy and optimistic naïveté, saccharine song numbers, and the like.
* {{Determinator}}: It's hard to keep this girl down for long. Even though she's told by denizens of both Hell and Heaven that her dream of redeeming sinners is never going to happen, Charlite refuses to let it get her down for long, soldiering forward and intending to prove her way can work. Throughout the show, she's portrayed as [[WideEyedIdealist naïve but well-meaning and idealistic]], and [[FriendToAllLivingThings with the kind of personality that chooses to see the good in everyone]].
* DevilsPitchfork: In her demon form, she wields a fancy trident forged from angelic steel. There's a snake wrapped around the handle and an apple at the base of the blade, suggesting Lucifer gave it to her.
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** Though she has good intentions, no amount of singing or emotional appeals gets Charlie’s idea of redemption across to the sinner demons, who are all unrepentant bastards. Even her list is [[MissingStepsPlan shoddy and doesn't exactly explain just how to reach her goal]]. Her [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating lack of credibility]] isn't helping either. Not to mention that Charlie calling her potential clients cretins, sluts and losers in her song probably didn't endear her to them, as it shows that despite her good intentions, she's clearly harboring some level of disdain for them.
** As Alastor points out, her hotel is very inadequate in terms of staff and amenities. If it wasn't for him calling in Niffty to clean up the place and Husk to work in the newly formed bar, no demon would come to such a shoddy place.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Her full name is Charlotte, but if the fact that it's crossed out on [[https://twitter.com/HazbinHotel/status/992872171272732672 a character profile]] is any indication, she greatly prefers Charlie. While she doesn't seem to really get mad about it, she corrects Katie immediately when she refers to her by her full name.
* DragonRider: She can have one of her familiars serve as a draconic mount if she ever goes into full combat mode.
* DramaticWind: Charlie's demonic transformation is accompanied by her hair being whipped around wildly.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: You'd think as Hell's Princess, Charlie would get at least some respect from other demons. Instead, she's met with ridicule for her ideals. According to a [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1094341412659781632 tweet]], a [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=PKARLiCRocA&t=4078 livestream]], and a [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=K9B-SiHh6KA&t=2540 Q&A]], this is because the populace of Hell in general are complete jerkasses, who only respect the royals out of fear of their power. As Charlie's reputation and demeanor aren't perceived as threatening, she's ruthlessly mocked.
-->'''Vaggie:''' You're the princess of hell.\\
'''Charlie:''' So?\\
'''Vaggie:''' Maybe you can command a little more authority?\\
'''Charlie:''' ''(whining)'' But that's so meeeaaan!
* EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes:
** In the pilot she takes a disliking to Katie Killjoy for being rude and dismissive of her idea, as well as her homophobia. When Katie mocks Charlie's Hotel, Charlie [[PokeThePoodle steals her pen]] and [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch calls her a bitch]].
** She immediately gets a disliking towards Adam after spending a few minutes with him due to him being incredibly obnoxious and egotistical, which quickly becomes outright hatred when Adam gloats about how much he enjoys killing her people and mocks her dreams. She is incredibly disappointed when she sees him at the courtroom in Heaven, and the two have a stare down when Adam once again brags about the coming Extermination.
** She's initially friendly to Valentino, even after he [[LecherousLicking lecherously slobbered over her arm]], but when she sees him abusing Angel she immediately starts to go into her OneWingedAngel form to confront him, only stopping when Angel gets between them.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** She holds a trust fall exercise with the command that everybody has to catch the person that is up. When Niffty goes up and confesses to killing mother bugs in front of their kin to send a message with no sign of remorse, even Charlie doesn't bother catching her due to how morbid and disturbing her confession was.
** Upon seeing the extent of Valentino's abuse of Angel Dust, Charlie begins to transform into a much more demonic-looking appearance. Also, because she's the Princess of Hell and the daughter of Lucifer, it's implied that Charlie is [[WillfullyWeak far more powerful than she may outwardly appear]]. As such, Charlie's angry transformation is her resorting to physical force, which is very unusual for her. The only reason it doesn't go any further is because Angel talks down Charlie and tells her to leave the studio before she can do anything.
** While Charlie's main goal is to get sinners to redeem themselves and eventually get into Heaven, even she is disgusted when she learns that [[spoiler:[[BlackBox nobody in Heaven's leadership actually knows what it takes for a soul to get into Heaven]] and that the exterminations from the Exorsists were actually being kept a secret from the rest of Heaven by Sera and shares a massive TheReasonYouSuckSpeech with Emily towards the leadership of Heaven by telling them that if Hell is forever then the promise of Heaven is a lie and that if angels like Adam and Lute can do horrible actions and still remain there, then Heaven is just as bad as Hell.]]
* {{Expy}}: She's based off Disney Princesses and mainly resembles ''[[{{WesternAnimation/Tangled}} Rapunzel.]]'' Both are blonde princesses with chipper and naive personality who offer their enemies redemption. Her hairstyle looks very similar to Rapunzel's braided up hair from ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries''.
* EyeColourChange: She can change her eyes to a more demonic red if she wants to.
* FailedASpotCheck: In "Hello Rosie", [[spoiler:Carmilla figures out that Vaggie is a former Exorcist almost immediately, due to the "X" over her eye and her angelic spear, but Charlie never even suspected the truth until Adam told her.]]
* TheFettered: Implied. She holds back in her fight with Katie Killjoy, and lets a sketchy demon like Alastor help with the hotel because doing so otherwise would go against her belief that everyone deserves a chance to be redeemed. The season one finally really shows off her unwillingness to harm people, carrying a shield into battle, using sparkles and magic fireworks to attack, even fighting Adam she's unable to fully tap into her powers.
* GenderBlenderName: A downplayed version. Her full name is "Charlotte" but she [[DoNotCallMePaul doesn't like to be called that]] and prefers to go by the genderneutral “Charlie".
* GenkiGirl: She's a peppy and enthusiastic demon princess who's all fired up about the idea of rehabilitating demons and sending them to Heaven. Sometimes aggressively so.
-->'''Charlie:''' Omigosh, welcome to the Happy Hotel! You are going to ''[[WingdingEyes LOVE IT HERE!!]]''
* GenreRefugee: As stated above, Charlie's basically a Franchise/DisneyPrincess ruling over the CrapsackWorld of Hell. Not that her title means much when the denizens only give her a modicum of respect and attention.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Part of the reason why Razzle and Dazzle were given to Charlie as her personal protectors. According to [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1048698954030825472 a tweet]] and [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=VpfxbK6zbjg&t=8265 a livestream]], they were given to Charlie when she was a little girl and as such the cute little forms they normally assume are meant to invoke plush toys. It's unclear if this means that they're toys that have been brought to life or just demons that look like plushies.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She has [[LongHairIsFeminine long hair]] and the sweet personality of a typical PrincessClassic, but she generally wears suits and prefers to go by the gender-neutral (but typically more masculine) name "Charlie" over her full name of Charlotte.
* GoodIsNotDumb: Charlie is well aware that Alastor is, in her own words, "sketchy as fuck", and outright refuses to make any deals with him. She takes him on as a patron because of her principle that every demon deserves a chance to redeem themselves. She even admits that she knows how evil Alastor is and that he most likely doesn't want to change. It shows that even though she believes that redemption for demons is possible, she also knows that not all of them want to change for the better -- and all she can do is try. Additionally, as misplaced as her optimism can be, she's [[HandshakeRefusal not dumb enough to accept]] a HandshakeOfDoom for what was clearly a mystically binding [[DealWithTheDevil bargain]] from a CardCarryingVillain like Alastor. Justified, considering her dad is the ''actual'' devil and he explicitly taught her not to make those kinds of deals, i.e. "You don't take shit from other demons".
* GoodIsNotSoft: Charlie may be sweet, but she's no pushover. If she shares only one thing in common with her father, it's that she doesn't take shit from other demons. When Katie Killjoy takes things too far, Charlie insults her back and gets into a full on brawl with her.
* HeroProtagonist: She is the show's main character and the plot revolves around her goal of redeeming sinners to protect them from the sadistic and genocidal Adam and his Exorcists.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Has blonde hair and genuinely cares about her people.
* HeavenSeeker: Charlie doesn't seem to want to go to Heaven herself, but her goal is to redeem sinners and get them a place there, as a solution to the overpopulation problem.
* HeroicBSOD:
** After her attempts to go straight to the top to plead her plan for the redemption of Sinners before Heavenly Court just results in Adam deciding to target the Hotel directly out of spite, and the revelation that [[spoiler:Vaggie has kept the fact she's an Exorcist from her]], Charlie retreats to her room and breaks down over everything she's fought for seeming to be AllForNothing, or even making things worse for people she promised to protect. She snaps out of it when Alastor reveals that Exorcists aren't invincible, though at the [[DealWithTheDevil cost of owing him a favor]].
** After the final battle of Season 1 she's devestated that [[spoiler:Sir Pentious sacrificed himself trying to take down Adam]], as well as the bloodshed in general, feeling that she personally failed to prevent things from spiraling to the point of violence. Her father and friends quickly pick her back up by pointing out the good she's done by changing their lives, and that she owes it to her dream to keep going.
* HiddenDepths: According to Husk's Instagram, she's good at playing poker.
* HopeBringer: One of Charlie's defining character traits is that, by believing in the best in even the damned inhabitants of Hell, she inspires them to believe in themselves and a brighter future. The entire point of the redemption Hotel she starts the series by coming up with was to give Sinners a brighter tomorrow to look towards than the eternal cycle of violence in Hell and eventual end at the point of an Exorcist spear.
** When Sir Pentious is exposed as TheMole and subsequently abandoned by the Vees, Charlie choosing to extend a hand and offer him a second chance pushes him to genuinely try and change for the better. [[spoiler:And ultimately become the first Redeemed Sinner when he selflessly lays down his life for his new friends.]]
** By opening her heart and explaining how the childhood stories her father would tell her taught her that dreams are worth fighting for, she manages to inspire Lucifer himself in turn and reignite his lost dreams of building a better future.
** By the end of the first Season Charlie has become this for all of Hell, by definitively proving that [[spoiler:the Exorcists can be fought back, and that Sinners can be redeemed]], completely overturning the status quo in Heaven and Hell.
--->'''Lucifer:''' ''In the last ten thousand years''\\
''You're the first one to change this town.''
* HornedHumanoid: Her more demonic form has a pair of long horns on her head.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: While singing "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow", Charlie's face suddenly shifts into a demonic-looking one with glowing eyes and horns bursting through her skin, which causes onlooking demons to back away with looks of shock. When the song is over, Katie is leaning as far away from her as she can (Charlie herself, in turn, [[OhCrap freaks out]] when [[TheDreaded Alastor]] comes knocking).
* HumanoidAbomination: She’s the most human-looking demon in hell, but she’s still a demon and the Princess of Hell. She lets her more demonic side slip through in a few brief moments of her "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow" song. Plus she has a snout rather than a normal nose.
* HumansAreSpecial: [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=09-ribPwlAQ According to a stream]] (1:09:52) she sees something magical about humans (despite never actually meeting a living one) due to the fact that they have the capacity to go to Heaven or Hell.
* InnocentlyInsensitive:
** When trying to convince Angel to become her first patron in the prequel comic, she puts her foot in her mouth when she tells Angel he looks like "someone who regrets his life choices".
** She also failed to consider that insulting potential clients in the same breath as advertising the Hotel probably wouldn't make them more interested in the idea.
** In episode 2, her praising of Sir Pentious's progress in front of Angel despite him being at the Hotel for longer. Not helping is she had him, a struggling drug addict, play a drug dealer in a childish DrugsAreBad skit, completely oblivious to why that would bug Angel Dust.
* {{Irony}}: Unlike sinner demons who’re damned souls who went to Hell after they died, Charlie was born and raised there. However, she is the purest, sweetest ray of sunshine around.
* IWantSong:
** Her rendition of "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows", which also opens the series. After losing more of her people to the yearly extermination, Charlie sings about her pursuit of happiness and salvation for the damned citizens of Hell, even if it seems like a distant pipe dream.
** "Happy Day In Hell" in the first episode where she sings about how she will convince the angels to accept her plan and to stop their purges.
* LadyAndKnight: A same-sex variant, Charlie is the Bright Lady to Vaggie's White Knight. Best illustrated in the song "Whatever it Takes", where Vaggie [[DeclarationOfProtection declares]] she'll be Charlie's "armor".
* LadyInAPowerSuit: The Princess of Hell wears some tasteful and snazzy tuxedos.
* LetsGetDangerous: She spends much of the fight in the season 1 finale being an ApologeticAttacker or otherwise not harming the angels. [[spoiler:Once Sir Pentious is vaporized by Adam, she goes into her full Demon Mode and charges at him, putting up a decent fight.]]
* LightEmUp: During the fight to defend the Hotel she attacks using [[FatalFireworks firework-like]] blasts of light.
* LightIsGood: She has chalk-white skin and also happens to be half-angel (a fallen angel of course but an angel no less) and is a kind princess who is desperate to save her subjects from extermination.
* LikeParentLikeChild:
** It’s subtle, but Charlie’s situation is the mirror inverse of her father’s. If we’re going by most versions, Lucifer was born an angel in Heaven, tired of the endless goodness and purity, and convinced other angels to rebel and eventually got kicked out of Heaven for Hell. Charlie was born a demon in Hell, is dismayed by the endless violence and destruction, and is encouraging other demons to rebel against the BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad status quo and reform enough to leave Hell for Heaven. [[invoked]][[WordofGod Vivziepop]] even revealed that Charlie actually takes very much after her father.
** The prologue states that originally, Lucifer was an optimist and a dreamer who refused to accept the oppressed status quo for humans. That's pretty much Charlie to a T as well (with sinners instead of humans, although the former are a subset of the latter anyways).
** This gets lampshaded in "Dad Beat Dad" with Lucifer and Charlie's duet noting that the apple didn't fall far.
** "Welcome to Heaven" reveals that, just like her mother, [[spoiler:she fell in love with a FallenAngel, albeit unwittingly.]]
* LipstickLesbian: She's bisexual and has a girlfriend, but aside from her penchant for suits over dresses, she’s more femme than masculine in her presentation.
* LittleBitBeastly: While for the most part she's humanoid, she does have a couple inhuman traits, even outside of the horns she normally keeps concealed. Her nose more resembles a dogs, making it look like she has a muzzle of sorts when viewed in profile, and, while normally hid by her shoes, she has hooves in lieu of human feet.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: In "The Show Must Go On", Charlie is initially seen fighting with a shield that Seraphim and apple motifs, which she uses both for offense and defense.
* MasculineFeminineGayCouple: PlayedWith in regards to her relationship with Vaggie. Charlie dresses androgynously, but her personality is more stereotypically feminine. Vaggie on the other hand, presents more feminine, but has more of stereotypically masculine personality.
* MeaningfulName: Beyond being a obvious reference to her father, "Morningstar" can also refer to a light visible on dark nights, that was once used as a guide, reflecting Charlie's desire to show Sinners a better path then just reveling in their vices.
* MessianicArchetype: And not just in the [[AntiAntiChrist obvious]] [[RedemptionEarnsLife ways]] either. Much like [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} a certain other Messiah]], she’s the child of a major Abrahamic figure who wants to make life better for people but faces ridicule and scorn from society (particularly from people like Katie) for her radical idealism.
* MisplacedKindergartenTeacher: [[invoked]] WordOfGod states that Charlie, though well-intentioned, views her charges at the hotel as wayward children and has little idea of what effective criminal rehabilitation actually involves.
* MissingStepsPlan:
** She clearly has no idea how she's going to get her plan to work, even though she's pouring her heart into it. A FreezeFrameBonus of her notes during the pilot episode shows that what plan she has is [[CloudCuckooLander weird, to say the least]].
--->4. Unicorn Kisses\\
5. Dolphin High Fives?\\
6. Sing Showtunes!!! = HappyEnding!!
** Shown again during her song "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow", where she seems to just think getting rid of bad temptations is all you have to do; for example, throwing an addict's drugs into a fire in front of him.
* ModestRoyalty: Despite being the princess of Hell, she seemingly favors [[{{Bifauxnen}} tasteful suits]] over luxury gowns and formal wear.
* MotorMouth: She really gets going during "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow".
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: She’s a demon (and was born that way unlike [[DemonOfHumanOrigin the sinner demons]]) but is a kindhearted and joyful person who wants to help others.
* NiceGirl: An oddity for a denizen of Hell, she’s very compassionate and optimistic. She cares for the denizens of Hell and would do anything to reform everyone who’s willing to seek redemption. Even with someone trying to sabotage her business like [[TheMole Sir Pentious]], she is willing to forgive them and give them a chance. The only time she really stops being nice is when she gets pushed too far (like clapping back at Katie Killjoy for mocking her goals of rehabilitating demons) and when she sees people are being treated horribly (with her coming pretty close to assaulting Valentino after seeing how horribly Angel Dust is exploited by him).
* NightmareFace: Her face sometimes shifts into a much more demonic-looking one, with glowing red eyes, large horns sprouting from her head and razor sharp teeth.
* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: Ambiguous. Her dad is Lucifer, so she is half (Fallen) Angel. The ambiguous part comes with her mother, who, if we're going off the biblical lore and the story book Charlie is narrating in the prologue, would be a DemonOfHumanOrigin.
* NotSoAboveItAll:
** While she is undoubtedly one of, if not the, nicest person in Hell, she’s not above using curse words, although she uses them for emphasis rather than [[ClusterFBomb throwing them around in every sentence like a lot of the other characters]].
** Also, despite being nice most of the time, she still gets annoyed enough to cuss out and fight Katie Killjoy. She’s also petty enough to add her rival into her song, including her on the phrase "All of you cretins, sluts, and losers".
** Implied by Husk's comments in Episode 4, she tends to drink to the point of drunkenly spouting out her insecurities. In Episode 6, she's baffled at Heaven's strictness in regards to staying sober.
--->'''Charlie:''' Are you really telling me you’ve never had a drink with friends after a hard day?
* OlderThanTheyLook: Having been born in Hell, she’s well over two hundred, but she has the appearance of a young twenty-something. Her bubbly personality also her makes her seem even younger.
* OneHeadTaller: Charlie is about a head taller than her girlfriend, which results in Vaggie regularly looking up to her.
* OneWingedAngel: Once finally provoked into transforming into her demon form, Charlie erupts into a pillar of fire from which she emerges with HellishPupils with red sclera, horns, a prehensile tail with spines and long claws. This is also implied to still not be her full potential, as briefly transforms her arm even further when performing a PunchCatch against Adam.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** Charlie is normally a PluckyGirl and close to an ExtremeDoormat with how much she puts up with. So when she starts transforming into her more demonic form, it's highly unusual. When she starts to transform after seeing Valentino's abuse of Angel Dust, Angel immediately talks Charlie down before she can do anything, but Angel knew that things were about to go south if Charlie was willing to go that far.
** Even with their disagreements, Charlie is still warm and affectionate with her girlfriend, Vaggie. [[spoiler:When she learns that Vaggie lied about being a FallenAngel Exorcist, Charlie not only grows distant from the latter but also cold]].
** Charlie agreed that making any kind of magically-binding deal with [[TheDreaded Alastor]] would be bad and refuses to do when they first meet. [[spoiler:A combination of Heaven not listening to her pleas, [[AxCrazy Adam]] promising to target the Hotel when the next Extermination happens, and learning that Vaggie has been keeping her FallenAngel heritage a secret leaves Charlie [[MomentOfWeakness desperate]]. So desperate that she finally strikes a deal with Alastor; it may have not been for her soul or to hurt anyone, but this action just how much in despair the Princess was in]].
* OppositesAttract: She and Vaggie have opposing personalities: Charlie is upbeat, perky, constantly cheerful, and is prone to breaking out in song. Vaggie is practical, perpetually frowns, has a temper, and is prone to resorting violence. However, this is only on the surface level, and their relationship is deeper and more complex. Both are the most morally upright characters (granted, not a high bar), Charlie isn't as naive as her personality would imply and her motivation is her sorrow at seeing her people massacred each year. Vaggie does believe in Charlie's dream, even if she's skeptical if it can be achieved.
* TheParagon: {{Zig Zagged|Trope}}. She certainly tries to be this, and she has the heroic persona, but the stakes of the show exist because she has failed to inspire the sinners to follow her example. That said, her idealism has at least reformed Vaggie and managed to crack Angel's heartless facade a little. She’s even made an unambigously evil overlord work for something good instead of spreading bloody chaos, even if only because said evil overlord is just bored with spreading bloody chaos. [[spoiler:Compared to the Exorcists Adam and Lute and even the top Seraphim of Heaven, Sera, who are behind the exterminations to begin with out of a desire for entertainment and fear that Hell will rise up against Heaven, Charlie is shown to be much more heroic than them.]]
* PartialTransformation: When she's especially angry she starts transforming into her full demon form--sprouting horns and having her irises turn yellow and sclerae turn red. A RunningGag across the series is her ''starting'' to transform out of rage, only to be interrupted and snap back to her senses.
* PlayingWithFire: During her "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow" song, she seems to conjure fire a couple of times. She’s also capable of creating fireworks, which she also makes use of as unconventional explosive projectiles in battle.
* PokeThePoodle:
** After being humiliated by Katie on TV, Charlie tries to one-up her by stealing her pen. Unfortunately, her [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch poor word choice]] [[BerserkButton only escalates things]].
** In the season 1 finale, after apologizing to the exorcists attacking her, Vaggie tells Charlie to cut it out and get serious. Charlie screams "Die, Motherfuckers!" at them but just throws harmless fireworks.
* PrecisionFStrike: Unlike the rest of the cast, barring Alastor, who [[ClusterFBomb shout profanities like there's no tomorrow]], Charlie only uses curse words for emphasis.
* PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: The beautiful Princess Of Hell who also happens to be the daughter of a higher fallen seraphim and the original sinner which makes her the second most powerful entity in Hell and stronger than a lot of beings in Heaven. While she hasn't shown the full extent of her power due to her own morals and being WillfullyWeak, from the small glimpses we have seen it's made pretty clear that she far FAR more dangerous than her cute design and NiceGirl personality suggests.
-->'''Charlie:''' That's what the ''fuck'' I've been saying!
* PrincessClassic: With her sweet and altruistic personality, WideEyedIdealist approach to redeeming sinners, and the royal authority as Lucifer's daughter, she's pretty much an archetypical princess. And while she prefers suits over dresses, she still fits the mold. It's just that her domain happens to be Hell.
* PrincessProtagonist: She is the princess of Hell and the main character of the story.
* PunchCatch: She manages to extend a hand and stop [[spoiler:Adam's]] charge completely dead in its tracks when the latter tries to score a cheap shot against her father. What makes this especially notable is that [[spoiler:Adam]] had just overpowered her in the same fight, the disparity between the two outcomes implies that she tapped into a power she hasn't fully realised yet.
* QuirkyGirlQuirkyTux: Her regular outfit is a red and black tuxedo.
* RageBreakingPoint: Charlie remains rather calm and meek in most circumstances, but when faced with cruelty and injustice, she gives into anger and her demonic heritage (red eyes and horns) manifests:
** When Adam continuously talks over her, insulting and mocking her plan to her face while sneering that he and the other Exorcists use the Exterminations as entertainment, Charlie becomes enraged and starts transforming only to back down.
** Upon seeing the abuse Valentino subjects Angel Dust to firsthand, she becomes furious and starts transforming, but is stopped by Angel.
** [[spoiler:During "You Didn't Know", you can see and hear her anger building up during her ''"It's not fair Sera"'' line, with Vaggie trying to rein her in as she is partially transformed and Adam is gloating to her face about the next Extermination, before joining in with Emily in berating the elite of Heaven for propping up such an unfair system while claiming to be good.]]
** In "The Show Must Go On", Charlie is initially defensive and apologetic during the battle, staying in her humanoid form. However, after Adam [[spoiler:[[KamehameHadoken casually obliterates]] Sir Pentious, she becomes enraged, fully turns into her demonic form for the first time and rushes to fight Adam.]]
* RealityWarper: As shown by a scene from ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'', the scene from the "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow" song where she was sitting on a cloud holding a puppy and cotton candy actually happened in-universe, meaning everything else in that song did as well. Given the song was completely spontaneous, this implies that she has an unspecified capacity for bending the reality of Hell to her whim. The backstory in the first official episode implies this is a power she inherited from her mother. She's also demonstrated the ability to conjure objects out of thin air, such as when she summons her plans for the hotel from a flaming portal on a table to show them to Adam.
* Really700YearsOld: In the "Let's Misbehave" clip, there's a family portrait of hers with a caption that reads, "Magne Family 1871" which implies that she's well over a hundred years old. In the actual pilot though, the portrait is no longer accompanied with this particular caption. In a later stream by Faustisse, the portrait of her and her ex-boyfriend, Seviathan, at prom was stated to have been taken over 200 years ago, which lifts her age even higher. Lucifer's remark in episode 8 may tag her at ''10,000 years old.''
* TheRedeemer: Charlie's goal is to become one of these. She believes that every demon in hell can be redeemed if they try — and she even opens up a hotel to help sinners work toward redemption so they can go to heaven. She also successfully gets Sir Pentious to be a better person after showing him mercy.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: She's very nice, but her red eyes become very apparent when she embraces the devil side of herself. They are most noticeable when she’s singing "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow" but are also visible in the introduction when she’s lamenting all of the death caused by the latest extermination. Her design in the series has permanently red pupils, and when she's angered her eyes change to have red sclerae and SupernaturalGoldEyes.
* RedIsHeroic: Her design in the series proper is predominantly red, and she's the most noble character in the series. This separates her quite a bit from a lot of other demons, who are RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver.
* RousseauWasRight: Charlie is shown to be the kindest, nicest, most joyful person in Hell. Growing up, she always tried to see the good in everything around her. As such, Charlie sincerely believes that every single demon has something good deep down inside. This is best demonstrated by her song "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow", which is basically ''RousseauWasRight: The Song''.
-->'''Charlie:''' ♪ Inside of every demon is a rainbow,\\
Inside every sinner is a shiny smile!\\
Inside of every creepy hatchet-wielding maniac,\\
Is a jolly, happy, cupcake-loving child! ♪
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Seeing her people being slaughtered every year in response to Hell’s OverpopulationCrisis, she decides she can’t stand idly by while the place she lives in is subjected to such violence. She embarks on a passion project to solve the problem in a humane way by rehabilitating sinners.
* ShoutOut: In [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/942571980393349120 a tweet]], Viv drew Charlie and Vaggie as Jack Skellington and Sally from ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' respectively, noting the parallels the former couple had with the latter.
* ShownTheirWork: As pointed out in a [[https://reddit.com/r/HazbinHotel/comments/e82isk/its_hard_to_see_but_when_vaggies_adjusting/ reddit post]], there's actually a symbol on Charlie's bowtie which can be seen [[FreezeFrameBonus when Vaggie adjusts it]]. It's hard to see, but it’s an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur#Antiquity alchemical symbol for sulfur]] that's associated with the fire and brimstone of Hell and been adopted as a symbol used in [=LaVeyan=] Satanism. Known as the Leviathan Cross or Satan's Cross, it's a fitting symbol for the daughter of the Devil.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: A same-sex example. Charlie is in a happily committed, stable, and loving relationship with [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Vaggie]] for a number of the latter's positive qualities - [[BrutalHonesty Honesty]], [[UndyingLoyalty loyalty]], [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend protectiveness]], [[CloudcuckoolandersMinder supportive but down-to-earthiness]], and [[GoodIsNotNice high moral nature]]. At one point, Charlie states that Vaggie is the person she trusts most in the world. [[spoiler:When she discovers Vaggie has been [[LiarRevealed keeping her origin]] as a FallenAngel Exorcist a secret, Charlie is only hurt and angry at the lie itself because they share everything with each other. When sorting out her feelings with [[AffablyEvil Rosie]], Charlie is able to forgive Vaggie's previous lie because the latter's actions spoke more to her character - selfless, unyielding support]].
* SinsOfTheFather: {{Zigzagg|ingTrope}}ed. She is allowed to visit Heaven to make the case for her plan to redeem sinners, showing that she is exempt from her parents' banishment, and Sera and Emily are polite to her since she is functionally a foreign dignitary. That said, Sera emphasizes that her visit to Heaven is ''temporary'' when Emily gushes about how much she'll enjoy her stay, so it's more that Lucifer holds enough authority to force her visit than it is Charlie being considered separate from him.
* SitcomArchNemesis: [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1014241101941575681 According to Viv]], Charlie has one with the character of Helsa, a rich girl demon that [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1046164032842067969 Viv]] [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=L0T91K9l5Sk&t=2117 describes]] to be like Regina George from ''Film/MeanGirls''. While Helsa has yet to make a full proper appearance, she has a cameo during "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow" and appears in a painting in the hotel with her and Charlie’s families. Helsa’s cameo in Charlie’s song shows off the two’s dynamic, with Charlie calling her a loser.
* SlasherSmile: Despite being an AllLovingHero she adopts a vicious grin when her face shifts into its more demonic form.
* SpecialPersonNormalName: She's Lucifer's daughter and the Princess of Hell, and her name is... Charlotte.
* StealthInsult: When Katie Killjoy says she doesn't "touch the gays" because she has "standards", Charlie asks how that's working out for her, with a large advertisement in the background reminding everyone that they're in {{Hell}}.
* StealthPun: "Charlie Magne", her full name in the pilot, is a play on "Charlemagne".
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Based on the pictures of her family around the hotel, Charlie has a lot of her father's features (yellow eyes, skin complexion, cheeks, and fangs) and looks even more like him when she enters into a demon form. She only inherited her mother's softer eye appearance.
* SuperCuteSuperpowers: When she's holding back she presents magical blasts in the form of glittery firework-like explosions.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: When she transforms fully or partially into her monstrous form, her irises and sclerae swap colors--the former turning red and the latter turning yellow with HellishPupils.
* TenderTears: She's just as tearful as she is optimistic. Her first scene is her weeping over the demons killed in the Cleanse.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Charlie is averse to violence and killing, especially the routine Exorcist purges, but even if it's in self-defense or in a warzone. While she accepts her allies killing the Exorcists, Charlie doesn't personally kill anyone, fighitng with a shield rather than a lethal weapon and shoots harmless fireworks at the angels. She even [[spoiler:doesn't want Adam dead, and asked her dad to spare him once he's been pummeled to the ground]].
* TokenHeroicOrc: She's the only known Hellborn demon that can be called genuinely virtuous. She's a PluckyGirl, genuinely wants to help people become better, genuinely wants to reform sinners with her hotel efforts, and always tries to be polite to people.
* TookALevelInBadass: Part of Episode 7 is dedicated to Charlie learning to come into her own as the Princess of Hell and gaining the confidence to lead Sinners in a direct confrontation with the Exorcists.
-->''For the first time in my life I might have to be ready for this,''\\
''Ready to be the one who's leading from the front.''\\
''Got to come into my own, got to come into my throne!''\\
''Got to take charge and defend my only home.''\\
''And although I kind of feel unsteady now I need to be ready for this.''
* TragicDream: Putting aside whether anyone can or even wants to be redeemed, Charlie's dream of redeeming sinners is doomed to fail due to one factor: ''Heaven''. Despite her best hopes, Charlie's meeting with Adam and Lute makes it clear that they refuse to even entertain the idea of sinners redeeming themselves, the idea of the exterminations being for "population control" being nothing but an excuse to slaughter sinners with impunity. Charlie's dream was just as reliant on Heaven actually accepting the idea of sinners being redeemed as it was on sinners wanting to redeem themselves. But this is a long shot at best because Heaven is dead set on slaughtering as many demons as they can and will use whatever excuse they can to justify it after the fact. [[spoiler: "Welcome to Heaven" later reveals that the exterminations are actually kept a secret from most of Heaven to begin with and only the Exorsists and the top Seraphim, Sera, knowing about them with the actual reason for them being Sera's fear of Hell eventually rebelling against Heaven. Not only does Charlie later learn this, but also the fact that even when one of her hotel's patrons actually does change for the better, he doesn't go to Heaven like she originally thought and that not even Heaven's leadership knows what it actually takes for a soul to reach Heaven in the first place.]]
* UnskilledButStrong: Charlie is among the most powerful entities in Hell, surpassed only by her parents. In the season one finale, she displayed an impressive feat of strength when she made Adam bleed and absorbed his full-powered surprise punch without any negative consequences. According to WordOfGod, Charlie outranks even TheDreaded Alastor in power, making her a formidable force among the denizens of Hell. However, her inexperience in battle and her unpredictable temperament causes her to hold back from revealing her true capabilities.
* UptownGirl: She's the Princess of Hell while her girlfriend, Vaggie, is a common mortal soul. [[spoiler:Or so she seems. Vaggie is actually a fallen exorcist, which makes her more similar to Charlie's father in terms of status.]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: In "The Show Must Go On", Charlie initially keeps saying ''"Sorry"'' every time she blocks or attacks angels, only to use her full powers at a group of them heading towards Vaggie. And when her girlfriend is being attacked by [[GeneralRipper Lute]], Charlie immediately tries to go and rescue her, only be stopped both times by [[ArcVillain Adam]]. And when the Exterminators are defeated and [[spoiler:Adam dead]], Charlies gives a [[DeathGlare terrifying]] [[https://twitter.com/HanasakuShijin/status/1753276912858710234 glare]] at the Exorcist while protectively holding Vaggie with one arm.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: She’s capable of transforming herself in a variety of ways to look more demonic such as growing horns, flashing razor-sharp teeth, turning her eyes red, and even growing a spiky tail.
* WarriorPrincess: Her full form has her materialize a wicked trident, along with spikier look and stereotypical demonic tail, and rides on one of her familiars as a DragonRider. Considering she's a nice, meek girl otherwise, if she ever gets into this form, [[GodzillaThreshold it's a sign that things have officially gone off the rails.]]
* WeaponBasedCharacterization: During the assault on the Hazbin Hotel she initially defends herself using an apple-themed shield and impressive but largely harmless [[BlindedByTheLight blasts of light]], showing she is committed to defending the hotel but not out for blood. [[spoiler:This changes the second Adam obliterates Sir Pentious, prompting her to discard the shield and draw an ornate angelic trident, showing she is now on the offensive and has no qualms about hurting Adam.]]
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: During a call to her mother, she says she's starting to think her father, Lucifer, is right about her. Regardless of what he actually said, her tone shows that she is clearly affected by her dad not believing in her. It also doesn’t help that her mother is apparently so far off the grid that the call doesn't even connect to voicemail.
* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:When making her case about the necessity of the Hotel and her plans for redeeming demons and Sinners in the court of Heaven itself, she finds out that the exterminations were intended to be a [[GovernmentConspiracy secret known only to the higher ranking and more militant angels]], and moreover that not even the angels know what the real requirements for entering Heaven are, and furiously calls them out on it. She and Emily also point out the hypocrisy of rejecting sinners who make real attempts to improve while the Exorcists are allowed to be as ruthless and bloodthirsty as possible with no repercussions because they've already "earned their place" in heaven. Finally, they point out that the Sinners have already been punished for their sins by being sent to Hell, making the Exterminations DisproportionateRetribution by definition.]]
* WideEyedIdealist: {{Downplayed}}. She's not enough of a fool to believe that ''every'' demon in Hell will want to redeem themselves, but she's wants to give her subjects the chance. She ''was'' however enough of one to think Heaven would even ''entertain'' the idea of Sinners redeeming themselves, only to be made painfully aware just how impossible her dream is after meeting Adam.
* WillfullyWeak: The only people in Hell more powerful than Charlie are her parents, but you wouldn't know that from looking at her because of her bubbly PluckyGirl personality. Charlie is just too nice to throw her weight around. Vox has a bit of a freakout when he finds out Alastor is living with Charlie, as he worries any deal they make will make Alastor too powerful to fight. While Charlie sometimes taps into her power and transforms into a more demonic-looking visage, she has never actually uses her full power on anyone. [[spoiler:Even in in the episode "The Show Must Go On" where Charlie fights against Adam, it's shown that she was still holding back.]]
* {{Womanchild}}: Charlie's hundreds or thousands of years old, and the only person in Hell who acknowledges that a yearly purge of its citizens is a problem and wants to fix it. She also has a hyperactively bubbly and even childish personality, with a lot more enthusiasm than preplanned steps. She presents her plans to Heaven and Hell with pictures drawn in ''crayon'' and communicates her ideas via reality warping musical numbers. When she's in Heaven to pitch her plans before the Heavenly Court she's acts like a tourist eager to visit Heaven's petting zoo and try Rainbow Sprinkles on ice cream. When attempting to get the Habin Hotel guests and employees to bond though Trust Exercises she eagerly wants to go first like a kindergartener in show-and-tell.
--> '''Vaggie''': Who wants to go first?
--> '''Charlie''': Ooh! Ooh! [=MeMeMe=]! Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me!
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Leg drops Katie during the TV studio fight cutaway.
* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: [[spoiler:The entire court sequence of "Welcome to Heaven" is basically her telling off Sera and Adam for not only allowing the former to enable the latter's behavior, but also being clueless as to what ''actually'' requires a Sinner to ascend to Heaven, or what even requires someone to get into Heaven in the first place, accusing them of being completely corrupt in their authority, which they are.]]
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Downplayed, she does indeed begin to look more and more demonic as she becomes angry, growing horns, her hair flows eerily and her eyes glow red. There are plenty of clues that the amount of power she has when angry is indeed above what even overlords have, but even then Charlie is still subconsciously holding back, it's not until she protects her dad from a sneak attack that we get a glimpse of her actual full power.

Charlie's feisty yet sweet and caring girlfriend, who tries to support her despite her own doubts. She serves as the hotel's manager and protector.
----
* ACupAngst: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Angel and Niffty poke fun at her having small breasts, but she's only mildly annoyed about it and ignores them.
* AccidentalMisnaming: Other than Charlie it doesn't seem anyone can get her name right. It's in part being both unusual but close enough to other more common names people assume they misheard.
* ActionGirlfriend: Downplayed. While Charlie is capable of [[ActionGirl kicking ass]] when the situation has truly become dire, Vaggie is the one who will resort to violence the quickest if she feels there's a threat.
* AlmightyJanitor: She seems like just an ordinary Sinner but [[spoiler:is actually a [[FallenAngel former Exorcist]]. Angels in the Hellaverse are inherently stronger than demons and the Exorcists have been completely unopposed in their slaughter of Sinners until recently due to how badly they outgun them, meaning that while Vaggie doesn't appear to be too notable in the angelic hierarchy, she is still stronger than the vast majority of Sinners in Hell.]]
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Her skin is ashen gray.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler:The reveal that Vaggie is a FallenAngel rather than a sinner brings her backstory into question. WordOfGod has made mention of her being Salvadoran and having died sometime in the 2010s, but it's also mentioned that Adam gave her the name Vaggie. Was Vaggie a human who ascended to Heaven and got a name change later? Or was she an angel born in Heaven and given her name after racking up a bunch of kills during her stint as an Exorcist? The fact that she speaks Spanish and looks fairly human-like implies that the backstory of her being human once is true, but it's still unclear.]]
* AnimalMotifs: Moths, though it’s not immediately obvious. One can see how she'd be attracted to someone as bright as [[AllLovingHero Charlie]].
* TheAtoner: "Welcome to Heaven" reveals that [[spoiler:she [[FallenAngel was an Exorcist]] who was [[BrokenAngel grounded, blinded]] and cast out by Lute and Adam after she spared a Sinner. After being found and patched up by Charlie, she eventually fell in love with her and devoted herself to Charlie's dream of redeeming Sinners, clearly regretful of her past and supporting her girlfriend in trying to stop the very Exterminations she was once a part of]].
* AttackAttackAttack: Carmilla points out that the flaw in her fighting style [[spoiler:and in every other angel's fighting style too]] is that she attacks with complete disregard for her own safety, not expecting to get harmed.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: A rather unique example. Of the entire main cast, Vaggie was the only one who died in the 2010s, the year 2014 to be exact, while everyone else died earlier (sans Charlie, who was born a demon and is over a hundred years old). Thus, Vaggie is the youngest "death" of the group. [[spoiler:How true that is though is called into question with TheReveal she's a FallenAngel rather than a Sinner, and that she didn't ''die'' to end up in Hell but was ''left'' for dead by Adam and Lute before Charlie found her. So, it's unclear if, like Adam, she died in her mortal life and became an Angel, or if the idea she "died" was a fabrication to go with her cover story of being a Sinner.]]
* BadLiar: She's repeatedly shown to be an extremely bad liar, most notably when she doesn't want to go visit Heaven with Charlie and the best excuse she can think of is [[BuffySpeak "I have that thing"]]. [[spoiler:Serves as early {{Foreshadowing}} of her actually being an angel who naturally wouldn't have much experience with lying.]] She even realizes it in-universe:
-->"Fuck, I'm such a bad liar..."
* BattleCouple: She and Charlie fight side-by-side when [[spoiler:Adam and the Exterminators come to the Hotel]].
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Episode 6 shows Vaggie and Charlie's first meeting, which came directly after [[spoiler:Adam and Lute mutilated Vaggie and left her for dead. Charlie, upon seeing the sorry state Vaggie was in, wasted no time in bandaging her up, which caused Vaggie to fall for her.]]
* BilingualBonus: She angrily mutters "come mierda malparido" [[note]]Spanish for "eat shit, motherfucker"[[/note]] while in the limousine, and later calls Alastor a "cabrón hijo de perra"[[note]]Spanish for "bastard son of a bitch"[[/note]] right in front of his face.
* BodyguardingABadass: As Charlie's self-appointed protector; on paper, Charlie is leagues more powerful than Vaggie ever could be. But since Charlie is too nice to wield that power except in rare circumstances, Vaggie fights on her behalf.
* BoomerangBigot: [[spoiler:She's a FallenAngel and has often told Charlie negative things about angels (i.e., they can't be trusted). Given she was mutilated and abandoned for showing a demon child mercy, her attitude is justified]].
* BoxingLessonsForSuperman: In "Hello Rosie", [[spoiler:Carmilla drives in how the fighting style she and the other Exorcists use leaves themselves wide open if they're facing someone that can hurt them, and drills in some advice on how to overcome these flaws.]]
* BraidsOfAction: She mentions her long hair gets in the way when she's fighting, so she wears it in a high ponytail when she knows she's heading for battle. [[spoiler: She had short hair back when she was an exorcist and first learned how to fight.]]
* BrokenAngel: [[spoiler:After Lute caught her sparing a demon child, she proceeded to gouge out Vaggie's left eye, then tore her wings off her back as Adam took her halo, the two leaving her a bloody mess. Had Charlie not found her, she likely would have bled to death in an alleyway. Losing these traits at least let Vaggie use the cover story she was a Sinner.]] [[spoiler: During her training session with Carmilla in the episode “Hello, Rosie!”, she gains a new pair of wings.]]
* BrutalHonesty: Whenever Charlie is too nice to properly criticize something, Vaggie is there to give the unfiltered version of Charlie's thoughts.
* BuffySpeak: When she tries to object to a bar in the Hotel.
-->'''Vaggie:''' This is supposed to be a place that discourages sin! Not some kind of... mouth... brothel... man-cave!
* BullyingADragon: She's brave enough to threaten '''[[TheDreaded Alastor]]''' with her spear, despite knowing ''exactly'' who he is and the terrible powers he wields. Retroactively downplayed and even ''inverted'' by the reveal [[spoiler:that she's a FallenAngel, specifically an Exorcist, which even while stripped of her wings and mutilated she's likely a OneManArmy capable of killing hoards of demons. It's entirely possible she's much more of a match for him than it initially appears. [[MuggingTheMonster That in turn means everyone who gets on her nerves in the series is taunting one of the people who go on a yearly unopposed murderous rampage and is mostly kept alive by Vaggie not wanting to look like a monster in front of Charlie]].]]
* ButtMonkey: In the pilot, she watches her girlfriend humiliate herself live on camera, is constantly disrespected by Angel Dust, and gets shoved around and teased by Alastor.
* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: Charlie is the undisputed leader of the Hotel and is able to use her charisma to inspire people to follow along with her vision, Vaggie is her undisputed second-in-command and treats the guests as though she's their drill sergeant, using more practical and aggressive methods to force the guests to play along.
* CharacterBlog: She runs the hotel's official Instagram account that she shares with Charlie called [[https://instagram.com/hotel_magnement/ hotel_magnement]].
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: A minor case. In the Pilot, she was vocally opposed to Husk running a bar at the hotel, saying their job is to ''discourage'' sin and that alcohol would just be temptation, leaning closer to a DryCrusader. In the series proper, she's a lot more open to the idea, even telling Angel Dust off for flirting with Husk so he could focus on his job, and Husk later stating she regularly drinks there, letting him hear her woes when she succumbs to InVinoVeritas.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Her expression when seeing Charlie and Emily holding hands is a wide-eyed DeathGlare.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: She does a lot to manage her girlfriend's oddities. Her first scene is keeping Charlie focused on a script they prepared together and ''not'' to sing. Then there's her reaction to Charlie's [[MissingStepsPlan "plan"]] for the hotel, which is supportive but tempered with more down-to-earth expectations.
* ControlFreak: Her [[https://twitter.com/HazbinHotel/status/992872171272732672 official bio]] describes her as a control freak. In the pilot, this is best displayed when she objects to Alastor adding a bar to the hotel, on the reason that it's supposed to be a place that discourages sin.
* CruelMercy: [[spoiler:She lets [[ArchEnemy Lute]] live because she thinks that having her live with the shame of being spared by a "miserable failure" like herself is preferable over killing her outright. Of course, this turns out to have been [[NiceJobBreakingItHero a bad idea]] because Lute is too fanatically focused on killing sinners to allow it to slow her down, even tearing off her own arm in order to resume the fight. The death of Adam and the first failure of their exterminations only forces Lute to re-commit their genocidal end goal for another time, and she ends up taking Adam's place in leading the Exorcists, now more focused than ever on making Charlie and the hotel inhabitants pay.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Heavily implied, since in "Scrambled Eggs," her idea of building trust among the crew is how she learned trust: serving in combat together. [[spoiler: Though it turns out, her own past was more complex. She may or may not have been involved in Hell's many turf wars, but the truth is that she was a former Exorcist partaking in the annual purge when she realized the demon, she was hunting down was just a child, and sparing the kid cost her everything.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: While she does her best to take thing seriously compared to Charlie, she does crack jokes every now and then at the expense of those who have it coming.
* DeclarationOfProtection: In "Scrambled Eggs", she sings an entire song about how she'll do whatever it takes to protect Charlie.
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: Like all sinners, she was once a human before dying and becoming a demon in Hell. [[spoiler: Come Episode 6, however, this is outright ''{{subverted|Trope}}'', or at least downplayed (her being of human origin remains ambiguously possible, and she could technically count as something trope-analogous to a demon). Vaggie is a FallenAngel, or perhaps just a fired Angel. She used to be one of the Exorcists who came down from Heaven for the extermination, but when she showed a demon mercy, Lute gouged out her eye, and berated her for her actions before tearing her wings off and Adam took her Halo. Stranded in Hell, she had little choice but to pose as a sinner.]]
* DeviousDaggers: Favors bladed weapons and throws at Angel Dust with remarkable accuracy, to stop him from playing with the window slider in the limo. [[spoiler:Unsurprising, given her background as a former Exorcist who has killed thousands of demons before.]]
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Confronts Alastor at spear-point in "Let’s Misbehave" and insults him to his face; the Cthulhu part comes with the fact he's [[TheDreaded feared by the denizens of Hell]] and is both a [[SerialKiller mass killer]] and [[TheChessmaster cunning mastermind]]. Vaggie, along with Charlie and Angel, are lucky that he doesnt want to harm them, [[DoNotTauntCthulhu as he makes it clear that he is more than capable of doing so]]. [[spoiler:However, with the reveal that Vaggie was once an exorcist, and given that as a rule angels are inherently more powerful than demons, it's very likely that she's strong enough to match Alastor anyway]].
* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: She's a DemonOfHumanOrigin who's in a relationship with the Devil's daughter. [[spoiler:At least on the surface. In truth, she's an exiled Exorcist who was left behind by Lute and Adam after sparing a demon child during an extermination. This slightly closes the power gap between them although Charlie is still far stronger due to being half Seraphim.]]
* DisabledLoveInterest: Vaggie is Charlie's girlfriend and is missing her left eye.
* DoesNotLikeMen: She gets accused of this by Angel, and her silent response might be implying some truth to that. This doesn't seem to carry over into the series proper, given she's just as [[GoodIsNotNice guarded, but reasonable]] with men as she is with anyone else. Which is almost impressive [[spoiler: considering her [[BadBoss treatment]] at the hands of [[StrawMisogynist the first man]].]]
* DrillSergeantNasty: In "Scrambled Eggs" she acts like this when she forces Angel and Sir Pentious into a turf war battle so they can become FireForgedFriends.
* DryCrusader: Implied, since she strongly objects to the hotel serving alcohol, though moreso because it's an activity that leads to sin rather than taking issue with it by itself.
* ExpressiveAccessory: Her bow curves and sharpens whenever she gets particularly pissed, making it look like a pair of horns.
* EyepatchOfPower: She wears an eyepatch with a pink X over her left eye; the X shows through her hair at all times, though.
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:When she was exiled from Heaven Lute stabbed her in her left eye, tore it out and crushed it.]]
* FallenAngel: [[spoiler:She was exiled from Heaven for showing mercy to a demon child during one of the Exterminations. Lute took out Vaggie's eye, removed her halo, and sliced off her wings before leaving her to die. However, Vaggie never told Charlie this fact; Charlie only finds out in "Welcome to Heaven" when Adam spills the beans [[EvilIsPetty just to spite Charlie]].]]
* FashionableAsymmetry: In the pilot, her left stocking has pink stripes while her right one is flat grey, her left glove is fingerless while her right has fingers, and her undershirt only has a left shoulder strap. Her design for the series proper does away with this and makes her much more symmetrical.
* {{Flight}}: [[spoiler:As a FallenAngel, she used to have wings and the ability to fly. After an impromptu training lesson from Carmilla, Vaggie is able to regrow them, and they now act as RetractableAppendages.]]
* FriendToAllChildren: [[spoiler:The "crime" that got her expelled from the Exorcist and left for dead on the streets of Hell? Sparing a demon child.]]
* FriendlessBackground: Faustisse revealed that outside of Charlie she doesn't have any friends. This might be because most of her friends are in Heaven.
* GoblinFace: Her face gets comically exaggerated wrinkles whenever she's truly angry.
* GoodIsNotNice: Vaggie is determine and loyal to Charlie's lofty goals, protective over the Hotel staff/residents, and is one of the moral characters in the show. She's also the most emotionally guarded and can be ruthless when pushed.
* GratuitousSpanish: She swears in Spanish when she confronts Alastor, referring to him as "Cabrón hijo de perra".[[note]]Spanish for “Bastard son of a bitch”.[[/note]]
* GrowingWings: In "Hello Rosie", [[spoiler:Vaggie manages to regrow the wings that Lute had ripped off of her. "The Show Must Go On" shows that she can apparently let them out and retract them at will, though she spends most of the time with them hidden.]]
* HairTriggerTemper: The only person she's calm around is Charlie, but with everyone else it's very easy to piss her off, something both Angel and Alastor take great pleasure in doing. By the time of the series, while her temper is still there, she's considerably more mellow.
* HairWings: In her pilot design, Vaggie's long hair combined with the stripes at its ends bore a resemblance to moth wings.
* HandicappedBadass: Played with. Despite missing an eye, and therefore lacking depth perception, her aim is perfect when throwing a knife at Angel Dust and pointing a spear at Alastor. Possibly {{justified|Trope}} given how she's a [[spoiler:former Exorcist and used to be one of Adam's top members so it's likely she's just ''that'' competent with weapons after all the training she received in Heaven.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: In the past she was one of the most bloodthirsty and ruthless Exorcist under Adam’s command. But after she became a FallenAngel for sparing a demon child instead of killing them, and met Charlie shortly after, she goes on great lengths to support Charlie’s dream]].
* HiddenDepths:
** {{Invoked|Trope}}, as WordOfGod described her as a skilled dancer.
** The prequel comics shows Vaggie being a talented artist.
** [[spoiler: She was an Exorcist. And since she was caught in the act of showing a demon mercy, she had all of her angelic trappings stripped away from her (and an eye), subsequently left for dead and stranded in Hell, where she was nursed back to health by Charlie, falling for her in the process.]]
* HidingYourHeritage: [[spoiler:Justified. Vaggie was once an Exorcist Angel but was left near death by Lute and Adam because she spared a demon child. Given she's from a group of people who perform yearly exterminations in Hell, she had to hide her true origins for her own safety. Also, she fell in love with the Princess of Hell, so not wanting to hurt her girlfriend was also a huge factor]].
* HumanoidAbomination: She's among the most human-looking demons in Hell. [[spoiler:This is despite actually being a FallenAngel.]]
* IHatePastMe: It's implied, especially by some of the lines in "Out For Love", that Vaggie hates and regrets [[spoiler:her past as an Exorcist]].
* InformedAttribute: She's stated to be fashioned after a Moth, but aside from her hair vaguely resembling folded up Moth wings, there's nothing suggesting such like the more obvious {{animal motif}}s other Sinners have. [[spoiler:Becomes {{justified|Trope}} with the reveal she's not a Sinner at all, but an Angel, her hair originally being much shorter and similar to Lute's, the claim of her being a Moth serving to go with her cover story she's a Sinner, and a bit of foreshadowing to the idea her wings were torn off, as "ripping the wings off a moth" is a term associated with torturing someone like she was.]]
* InsecureLoveInterest: "Scrambled Eggs" shows that she feels unworthy of being Charlie's girlfriend and thinks that if she can't help her, her existence is meaningless. [[spoiler: Made even more apparent in "Welcome To Heaven" with TheReveal that Vaggie is a former Exorcist who had a change of heart and wound up being left for dead by Lute and Adam. Her dedication to Charlie comes from her guilt over being an Exorcist mixed with her guilt over having never told Charlie her true identity.]]
* ItWasWithYouAllAlong: In "Hello Rosie", Vaggie goes to [[spoiler:Carmilla to find the secret of killing Exorcists, only for Carmilla to tell her that angelic steel, like her spear, is the key. Vaggie is surprised to find out that it's that simple instead of some secret weapon that Carmilla, Hell's top arms dealer, came up with.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** Vaggie's near-murderous anger at Angel Dust is understandable given how his actions completely ruined Charlie's promotion of the Happy Hotel.
** Her extreme distrust of Alastor is ''well'' within reason given how the Overlord is TheDreaded who also admits to ''not'' wanting to see the Hotel succeed.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Of a different sort than Angel Dust, and mostly justified. She seems to genuinely be a decent person, and she has a nice, stable relationship with her girlfriend Charlie. The fact that she’s grumpy and hostile towards other demons is down to the fact that they’re all bastards who delibaretely antagonize her and her girlfriend.
* KnightInSourArmor: Vaggie may be skeptical and have a sour disposition, but she's determined to help Charlie redeem Sinners.
* LadyAndKnight: A same-sex variant, Vaggie is the White Knight to Charlie's Bright Lady. Best illustrated in the song "Whatever it Takes", where Vaggie [[DeclarationOfProtection declares]] she'll be Charlie's "armor".
* LetMeAtHim: During Alastor's VillainSong, Angel can be seen holding back an enraged Vaggie from attacking him.
* LiarRevealed: Downplayed to "Omitting the Truth Revealed", but Vaggie [[spoiler:is desperate to make sure Charlie never finds out her status as a FallenAngel, to the point that she [[AintTooProudToBeg begs Adam to not tell her]], and her reaction to Charlie's horror and devastation to Vaggie's past as a former Exorcist is clear regret.]]
* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Vaggie has a number or similarities her girlfriend's father, Lucifer - [[spoiler:The biggest being that they're both {{fallen angel}}s -- and they're the only two known instances of such in the setting -- although Charlie wasn't aware of this for a long time]]. Besides that, both of them are very insecure about themselves, including how they can be good girlfriend/father to Charlie; and while Vaggie fully supports her girlfriend's goals, she also has a similar cynicism regarding both Sinners and Heaven.
* LipstickLesbian: Very feminine presenting and confirmed as a lesbian.
* MasculineFeminineGayCouple: PlayedWith in regard to her relationship with Charlie. Vaggie dresses more feminine than Charlie, but she acts in a more stereotypically masculine manner. She’s grumpy and closed off, and at the same time very brave and protective of her girlfriend.
* MsExposition: Tells Angel Dust about who the Radio Demon is when he turns out to be clueless.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Vaggie is a genuinely good person and may be the only one among Sinners, who are described to be inherently irredeemable. Aside to being [[MurderIsTheBestSolution quick to point weapons at people]] despite the Hotel's principles of trust and forgiveness, and her possible military background, her presence in Hell is a mystery. As it turns out, [[spoiler: Vaggie is a genuinely good person... among the ''Exorcists'', who are shown to be inherently psychopathic, murderous assholes. It turns out because she's ''not'' [[MurderIsTheBestSolution a complete murder freak]] and chose to spare a demon child, she was exiled to Hell for aiding the enemy.]]
* MysteriousPast: We know little of her past prior to the hotel, but her DrillSergeantNasty attitude in "Scrambled Eggs" and the way she talks about it implies that she was in some kind of military at some point. "Welcome to Heaven" reveals that [[spoiler:she's a FallenAngel, a former Exorcist that Adam and Lute kicked out and left for dead because she spared a demon child.]]
* NeatFreak: According to Viv in [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=MqGEHNy3Wxo&t=6250 a livestream]], Vaggie is kind of a neat freak.
* NighInvulnerable: [[spoiler:As a former Exorcist, Vaggie is nearly impossible to harm by any means except Angelic weaponry. Carmilla notes that this has given her a habit of fighting in a way that exposes herself, since she's accustomed to not needing to bother with defense.]]
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:The only reason Vaggie is no longer an Exorcist is due to [[WouldntHurtAChild sparing a demon child]]. This cost her [[EyeScream an eye]], her wings, and was left to die.]]
* NotSoAboveItAll:
** Despite her stance against the bar being installed, Vaggie still drinks to the point of being drunk according to Husk's comments on Episode 4.
** When Niffty [[spoiler:kills Adam in Episode 8]], unlike everyone else, who is utterly shocked, Vaggie has a massive grin on her face and looks like she's on the verge of outright [[{{Squee}} squeeing]].
* NumberTwo: She acts as Charlie's right-hand, as Vaggie is the manager of the Hotel.
* OnlySaneMan: She seems to be the voice of reason among the main trio. She handles calling out Angel Dust and rightly points out to Charlie that letting Alastor help them is a bad idea. However, Vaggie relents due to wanting Charlie's plan to work.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While Vaggie isn't the straightest example of TheStoic, she still doesn't easily show fear against enemies. [[spoiler:So, when [[BadBoss Adam]] is about to reveal Vaggie's past as a former Exorcist Angel to Charlie, Vaggie ''begs'' him not to in a genuinely scared voice.]]
* OppositesAttract: She and Charlie have opposing personalities: Charlie is upbeat, perky, constantly cheerful, and prone to breaking out in song. Vaggie is practical, perpetually frowns, has a temper, and prone to resorting violence. However, this is only on the surface level, and their relationship is deeper and more complex. Both are the most morally upright characters (granted, not a high bar), Charlie isn't as naive as her personality would imply and her motivation is her sorrow at seeing her people massacred each year, and Vaggie does believe in Charlie's dream even if she's skeptical if it can be achieved.
* PaperThinDisguise: While most sinners have obvious AnimalMotifs or are outright FunnyAnimals [[note]](or are obviously inhuman in [[NonHumanHead some]] [[BigRedDevil other]] [[{{Cyclops}} way]])[[/note]], Vaggie looks entirely human with her hair as the only indicator of her supposed moth theme. [[spoiler:As it turns out this was an attempt to disguise her true nature as an Exorcist, who are WingedHumanoids with no animalistic traits. The obviousness of her true identity is even {{lampshaded}} by Carmilla.]]
-->'''Carmilla:''' You have a giant "X" over your eye and [[spoiler:wield an angelic spear.]] It's not rocket science.
* PerpetualFrowner: When she’s not looking like she’s about to murder someone, Vaggie tends to default into an annoyed-at-the-world frown. The only times she smiles is when talking to Charlie.
* TheReliableOne: Vaggie is the most [[OnlySaneMan sane]] of the entire Hotel residents given Charlie's [[CloudCuckooLander flightiness]], Alastor is [[MoodSwinger unpredictability]], Husk's [[TheAlcoholic alcoholism]], Angel Dust's [[TheHedonist hedonism]], Niffty is [[AxCrazy psychoticness]], and Sir Pentious's [[IronButtMonkey slapstick magnet nature]]. At one point, Charlie states that Vaggie is the person she trusts the most.
* RetractableAppendages: [[spoiler:After she recovers her angel wings, she seemingly can retract them completely into her body at will.]]
* ScaryTeeth: Like a lot of demons, she has a mouth full of sharp teeth that become more pronounced the more distressed she is.
* ShoutOut: In [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/942571980393349120 a tweet]], Viv drew Charlie and Vaggie as Jack Skellington and Sally from ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' respectively, noting the parallels the former couple had with the latter.
* SingingVoiceDissonance: Vaggie's speaking voice is fairly deep and almost masculine sounding making one think she's an alto, but her actual singing voice is surprisingly a lot higher and girlier, meaning she's actually a mezzo-soprano.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: A same-sex example. Vaggie is deeply loyal and in love with [[AntiAntiChrist Charlie]] for a number of the latter's positive qualities - [[NiceGirl Kindness]], [[AllLovingHero compassion]], [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething selflessness]], [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold gentleness]], and [[TheFettered being one of the most morally upright people in the show]]. Her portion of "[[DistantDuet Whatever It Takes]]" has Vaggie reveal snippets of what made her fall for Charlie when they first met - The demon princess made her feel like "a stranger in a brand-new place", possibly meaning how the former was a bright spot for her in [[CrapsackWorld Hell]]; she then sings how Charlie makes her feel understood. "Welcome to Heaven" [[spoiler:reveals they first met after Vaggie was mutilated and left for dead by Lute and Adam; Charlie came to her aid and the reaction from her after Charlie bandaged her up implies that was the moment where her romantic feelings, if not friendship, for the Hell princess first appeared]].
* SkeletonMotif: [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/hazbinhotel/images/0/05/10k_Thanks.jpg This]] official artwork has her wearing a skull themed dress with similar earrings.
* SourOutsideSadInside: A lot of her sour exterior is meant to hide her own self-loathing and inadequacies. She only tends to let her inner self out when alone, not even showing her issues to Charlie. Husk only knew about them because of her succumbing to InVinoVeritas whenever at his bar. [[spoiler:It's implied these feelings stem from her past as an Exorcist and all the Sinners she's killed, as well as her lying to Charlie about her past and claiming she's a Sinner.]]
* SourSupporter: She’s doubtful of whether Charlie’s hotel will work, but she's still very supportive and invested in helping her.
* SpicyLatina: Downplayed. She's a Latina with a fiery temper, but it's not due to anger issues, it's from having many legitimate reasons to be pissed off. She’s also not sexualized by the show.
* TheSpock: She seems to act as a voice of reason for Charlie and the main cast as a whole.
* TheStoic: Downplayed. While Vaggie does act as the voice of reason for the main cast and usually has a [[PerpetualFrowner frown]] on her face, she's also prone to letting her anger issues get ahead of her in stressful situations. Other than that, she ''does'' smile more in the TV series, but usually keeps a neutral expression for professional reasons.
* StraightMan: In many of her dynamics with other characters, Vaggie plays the role of straight man. Whether it’s being the more grounded realistic girlfriend to Charlie’s naïve idealistic character or being [[StraightManAndWiseGuy someone who takes things seriously to a wisecracker]] like Angel Dust.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: She hates that [[TheHedonist Angel Dust]] isn't taking the hotel's mission seriously, she does not think that working with [[TheDreaded Alastor the Radio Demon]] is a good idea and is very reluctant to allow Sir Pentious to become a guest of the hotel after he's outed as TheMole. But they (and everyone else) have to work together if they're going to make things a success.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Her reaction to when Charlie starts singing her pitch for the Happy Hotel, accompanied by a FacePalm and an "Oh, no."
* TokenHeroicOrc: DoubleSubvertedTrope. Initially she seems to be one of the ''only'' good-hearted Sinners, with it not even being clear ''why'' someone like her is even in Hell to begin with. The initial subversion comes from the fact she's [[spoiler:''not'' a Sinner, she's an ''Angel''. More specifically, she's a FallenAngel, the second subversion coming from the fact she's a former Exorcist but was mutilated and left for dead by Adam after she showed a demon child mercy, making her at the time the only good-hearted Exorcist amidst a legion of sadistic butchers.]]
* TwitchyEye: She gets so pissed at Angel Dust her eye starts twitching.
* TwoferTokenMinority: She's both Latina and a lesbian.
* UndyingLoyalty: Of the entire Hotel residents, Vaggie is the one who actively and steadfastly helps in ensuring Charlie's plan to redeem sinners come true. Vaggie has essentially dedicated her whole life to doing whatever she can to make Charlie safe and happy, as repayment for seeing worth in Vaggie at her lowest point after she was [[spoiler:abandoned by Heaven]].
* UnequalPairing: Subverted, with her relationship with Charlie. Charlie is Princess of Hell, daughter of Lucifer (''the'' FallenAngel and the undisputed King of Hell), while Vaggie at first appears to just be a common sinner. [[spoiler:But then the reveal of her true nature as a FallenAngel herself flips this, as it puts them both on more equal footing.]]
* UnfortunateNames: Her nickname and real name unfortunately brings to mind "vagina", a fact Angel lampshaded in the prequel comic and first episode.
** [[spoiler:It's later revealed that [[GiverOfLameNames Adam]] gave it to her because she was so good at killing demons, comparing her to "the greatest thing ever". He even pronounces it with a ''soft'' "g".]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: In general, just do ''not'' think of harming, insulting, or threatening Charlie when Vaggie is present.
** Her response to when the camera demon called Charlie a "stupid bitch"? Slug him in the face.
** When [[TheDreaded Alastor]] shows up at the hotel, Vaggie immediately ''threatens him with a spear'' to protect Charlie.
** Vaggie immediately brandishes a spear during Niffty's introduction when the tiny demon suddenly lifts Charlie off the ground. When Niffty puts her girlfriend down again, Vaggie lowers the spear as well.
** After seeing [[spoiler:Charlie [[DealWithTheDevil striking a deal]] with Alastor, Vaggie immediately readies her blade to kill or harm him. She only stops because Charlie intervenes]].
* WalkingSpoiler: It's difficult to talk about Vaggie without mentioning that [[spoiler:she's not a sinner, but a FallenAngel.]]
* WhenSheSmiles: Under normal circumstances, her default expression is [[PerpetualFrowner a frown]]. Only Charlie can get her to genuinely smile.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Inverted. Vaggie has white hair and while she does come off as grumpy, she's one of the most decent citizens of Hell. Plus, she fully supports Charlie's idea of redeeming the demons, even if she personally has some doubts. [[spoiler:With the reveal that she's actually a former Exorcist, this trope is still in play as she spared a demon child during an extermination]].
* WingdingEyes: She gets skulls in her pupils after Angel smugly reminds her that she can't kill him in Hell.
* WingedHumanoid: DoubleSubverted. [[spoiler:As a former Exorcist, she once had feathery Angel wings, but they were torn off by Lute after she spared a Sinner child. She eventually gains a new set of wings.]]
* WouldntHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Adam and Lute ripping her wings off and eye out were because she spared a demon child.]]
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: [[spoiler:Vaggie is originally from Heaven and was an Exorcist Angel. However, when she spared a demon child, Lute gouged her eye and tore off her wings, leaving the former incapable of returning home]].
* XMarksTheHero: She has a large "X" on the eyepatch covering her missing eye and is one of the central characters in the show. She's also one of the morally upright Sinners of Hell.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Her reaction in "Hello Rosie" to the fact that [[spoiler:[[TakesOneToKillOne angelic steel is the key to harming Exorcists]]]] has shades of this, asking how no one else has figured it out before.

[[folder:Alastor]]
!!Alastor
Once a southern radio host and serial killer, Alastor is an enigmatic, infamously powerful Overlord known as the "Radio Demon" among other demons. He takes an interest in Charlie after seeing her on the news and offers to help her with her hotel, [[NotInThisForYourRevolution not because he believes in the cause]], but because of the entertainment value he sees in the patrons' repeated failure. He serves as the hotel's main investor, facility manager, and biggest source of defense and security. When not doing his multiple roles at the hotel, Alastor also runs his radio show on the side.

'''Voiced in the full series by:''' Creator/KimikoGlenn [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]] Mathilde Carmes (French), Anmi Matsutame (Japanese) [[/labelnote]]

An energetic, obsessively neat cockroach-like demon. She is an acquaintance of Alastor's that he brings on to be the cleaning lady and cook at the Hazbin Hotel.
----
* AffablyEvil: While she’s normally very friendly and helpful, she’s also working for one of the most feared overlords in Hell, and there’s a definite psychopathic side to her personality.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys:
** Niffty has a preference for "bad boys". It's the apparent reason for her friendship with Alastor and she's giddy at the prospect of meeting Lucifer because he's "the ultimate bad boy." She even formed a crush on Sir Pentious during his time as a [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain supervillain wannabe]], and initially dislikes him after his HeelFaceTurn because he isn't evil enough for her anymore.
---> '''Niffty''': I hated that song! Why are you so lame? ''[[LittleGirlsKickShins (kicks Sir Pentious)]]'' Not a bad boy!
** PlayedForDrama in "Welcome to Heaven" where a drunken Niffty tries to flirt with ''Valentino'' [[spoiler:prompting Angel Dust to step in and save her before he can get his hooks into her]]. She does manage to rip off a piece of his fur for her "collection."
** She tries to flirt with Lucifer, the King of Hell, in a creepy manner.
* AggressiveSubmissive: Zigzagged. Despite her interest in [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad boys]] and admission to liking being forced, the fact that she shows up in a dominatrix outfit looking to "punish" said bad boys implies she's just as interested in being dominant as well.
* AnimalMotifs: Cockroaches, which amazingly enough detest dirt in real life, to such extent that they're considered the neat freaks of the insect world. She's also got the incredible resilience of a cockroach.
* AxCrazy: She is so psychotic, deranged, and obsessed with violence that she probably gives Alastor a run for his money.
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler:She's remains AxCrazy through the first season and is the one who kills Adam after he's spared by Charlie and Lucifer]].
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: She claims to kill mother bugs in front of their children as a warning, which disturbs the rest of the Hotel.
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Justified, because her body is very small and skinny, as Angel points out.
* CasualKink: Niffty is very disturbingly open about how into [=BDSM=] and PowerDynamicsKink she is, to the distress and disgust of the rest of the Hotel's occupants.
* CharacterBlog: She has an official Instagram account called [[https://instagram.com/babyfeathrdustr/ babyfeathrdustr]]. Following the archival of the account of Octavia from ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' due to [[https://archive.is/X3Fp3/7f3917ed32b56714dc1cda75d38062f80b09846e.jpg certain]] [[https://archive.is/X3Fp3/580a84dd573b0c5990ca75b49d996de96426b44f.jpg matters]] however, her account was archived as well and pretty much retired.
* TheCutie: She's small and incredibly cute-looking for a demon.
* CuteAndPsycho: She's tiny, bubbly, and pretty bonkers. Charlie is 80 percent certain that she's harmless.
* {{Cyclops}}: She only has one huge eye.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: She died in the 1950s as indicated by her attire and confirmed by Viv in [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=09-ribPwlAQ&t=1782 a livestream]], and she’s seems to still have a very fifties understanding of gender, i.e. thinking that women are natural house-keepers.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Is the one who deals the finishing blow to Adam, a VERY high-ranking ''angel'', while being a relatively normal Sinner from Hell.]]
* DramaticIrony: PlayedForLaughs. She's dismayed that there are only women at the hotel when she arrives, mistaking the effeminate-looking Angel Dust for a woman.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Prior to her introduction, Niffty can be seen among the falling silhouetted demons in "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows". She also appears during Vaggie's exposition about Alastor, silluetted behind him together with Husk.
* EveryonesBabySister: She's not the ''youngest'' of the residents/staff at the Hotel, that would be Vaggie, but she certainly ''acts'' like the youngest. And while her behavior ''may'' creep out the others at times, they all treat Niffty as if she was their little sister, Charlie stopping Vaggie from throwing her into a warzone in "Scrambled Eggs" and Sir Pentious saving her from falling debris in "Dad Beat Dad". "Welcome to Heaven" in particular would demonstrate her being this to Angel, as his unknowing SecretTestOfCharacter from Heaven largely revolves around his care for and being protective of Niffty, looking after her when she gets drunk and starts cleaning things rigorously, cheering her up when he accidentally makes her cry, and [[spoiler:the thing that gets him to finally stand up to Valentino being Val setting his sights on her and refusing to let him touch her.]]
* FemaleMisogynist: Niffty seems to think that women should be good at cleaning. It's justified and downplayed as she died in the 1950s (a decade infamous for StayInTheKitchen views).
* GenkiGirl: She's very hyperactive and zips around the hotel at incredible speed.
* GigglingVillain: Unsurprisingly, since she's a cute, tiny {{Yandere}}.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: She is constantly shown to take sadistic pleasure in killing, [[spoiler:and she's the one who deals the finishing blow to Adam which gets her hailed as a hero.]]
* HorrifyingTheHorror: Everyone in the setting is already a demon from Hell or a sinner who was brought there, but everyone in the cast seems to ''also'' be afraid of how much of a NightmareFetishist Niffty is. Except for Alastor, but that's because ''he'' also horrifies demons. [[spoiler:Even the Vees are shown to be scared of her as they watch with shocked expressions when she killed Adam by stabbing him repeatedly.]]
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Niffty is easily the smallest character in the cast and as such all the men at the hotel tower over her.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She repeatedly mistakes Angel Dust for a girl, though it doesn't seem to bother him much. She also believes in some very old-fashioned stereotypes about gender.
* LittleGirlsKickShins: Though she's around 22 years old, she looks like a little girl, and when Sir Pentious commits to his HeelFaceTurn by performing a sappy song with Charlie, Niffty shows her displeasure that he's no longer a "bad boy" by kicking his tail.
* LovableSexManiac: Almost as much as Angel. She [[TooMuchInformation unhesitatingly admits]] that she "likes being forced" to do things, gleefully falls for Sir Pentious when she sees he's a "bad boy" and demands that he never leave her, she gets ''really'' into one of Angel's porn videos, Husk implies that Niffty's drunken confessions are so filthy that [[EveryoneHasStandards he doesn't even want to repeat them]] and when Angel tries to build trust among the others via a BDSM dungeon, she immediately dresses up in bondage gear and expresses a desire to "punish some naughty boys". She also implies that she [[TooKinkyToTorture gets turned on by pain]] a few times.
* MadeOfIron: She's the smallest member of the hotel staff, and yet tanks the impact from a flying chunk of wall just fine.
* MeaningfulName: "Nifty" can mean skilled or stylish, and she's shown to be really efficient in cleaning.
* MoralityPet: To the entire hotel. She's the smallest and most vulnerable demon on the premises, and has a remarkable talent for getting herself into trouble. It's a testament to the success of Charlie's project and the basic decency of her staff and guests that all of them, including the hedonistic Angel Dust, the cowardly Sir Pentious, and the jaded Husk, keep an eye out for her to make sure she stays safe from Hell's many perils. Even Alastor finds her charming, and laughs with her when she gives him a crown of roaches.
* MotorMouth: She talks just as fast as she moves.
* MyNaymeIs: While her name is pronounced the same as the word "nifty", it's spelled with two F's.
* MysteriousPast: She's the only one of Alastor's major associates that we don't know the exact nature of behind their meeting and connection. He treats her more akin to a genuine friend like Mimzi or Rosie, suggesting she didn't [[spoiler:sell her soul to him]] like Husk, yet he brought her to the Hotel in a manner similar to how he conscripted Husk. And whereas Mimzi was someone he knew in life and Rosie he has a shared interest in cannibalism with, he died roughly ''twenty years'' before Niffty did when she was only 22, and Alastor admits in "The Show Must Go On" that he ''doesn't'' understand her "twisted mind", making it unclear ''how'' he became so close to and found of her.
* NeatFreak: She has quite the penchant for cleaning. It's to the point when Angel tells her to stop acting like a ''mess'' when she's drunk, she [[OcularGushers starts to cry]].
* NiceGirl: Unlike Husk, who treats everyone with surly indifference, Niffty cheerfully introduces herself to the main trio and politely apologizes if her old-fashioned understanding of gender roles offended them.
* NightmareFetishist: Niffty grins gleefully whenever Alastor shows off his powers. She even smiles after he finishes beating up Sir Pentious, while everyone else is standing in StunnedSilence.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Niffty casually does things that make her look like a homicidal lunatic, such as gleefully confessing during the trust exercise she kills mother bugs in front of their brood to "send a message." It's worth noting nobody wanted to catch her trust fall after this, though she didn't mind because she shouts "Yay! Pain!"
* OlderThanTheyLook: Although she kinda looks like a little girl, she was alive during the 1950s, as confirmed by Viv in [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=09-ribPwlAQ&t=1782 a livestream]], and it was later clarified in [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=fvEU9NOokPM&t=13420 a Q&A]] that she’s around 22 years old.
* PerkyFemaleMinion: For Alastor, a role she seems to very much enjoy.
* PerpetualSmiler: She's either smiling or grinning most of the time, which is likely why Alastor likes her.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Effortlessly picks up Charlie, despite being half her size. Plus she has the resilience to not get crushed by a huge wooden door.
* PluckyComicRelief: The show's tone skews somewhat comedically either way, with most characters having some number of humorous traits. Niffty, however, appears to have ''nothing but'' comedic traits, and even when she appears in a more serious scene, she [[CaptainOblivious seems barely aware of it]].
* PsychoKnifeNut: Give her an edged weapon, and things get extremely messy extremely fast. [[spoiler:She spends the entire Exorcist invasion merrily ventilating downed angels' torsos with a Heaven-forged dagger, and doesn't even seem to notice when her latest victim turns out to be ''Adam himself''.]]
* PsychopathicWomanchild: She has a very childlike demeanor despite being a grown woman and even cries like a baby in Episode 6. She is also a hyperactive AxCrazy sadomasochist.
* PunnyName: Her name is pronounced "Nifty", and she is introduced by Alastor who does so by saying "[[WhosOnFirst This little darling here is Niffty]]."
* RapidFireNo: She cheerfully chimes "Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope!" as she buzzes around the hotel, cleaning up all the dirt and bugs she finds.
* StockSoundEffect: The "squee" sound heard in her introduction will be familiar to fans of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic.''
* SurprisinglyCreepyMoment: She gets a few moments of this, crushing and impaling the bugs she catches and getting a close-up of [[MadEye her eye darting erratically around the room]].
-->'''Niffty:''' [[WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises It's been a while since I've made]] ''[[CuteAndPsycho new friends!]]''
* TeamChef: Along with being the cleaning lady, Alastor brings her on to be the hotel’s cook.
* ThousandYardStare: In the first episode, when Vaggie tries to film her for the Hazbin Hotel's commercial, Niffty simply stares into the camera with a terrified expression. Might also double as TraumaButton, since she doesn't seem to be aware that she's doing it.
* TooKinkyToTorture: When everyone backs away from her during a trust fall, causing her to face plant, she gets back up and keeps doing it because she likes the pain. She also jumps into the warzone area herself per Vaggie's suggestion despite Charlie trying to stop her.
* TooMuchInformation: When she comments that she "likes being forced" to do Alastor's bidding, Husk grumbles that she should "probably keep that to herself". And when Husk talks about [[InVinoVeritas all the things the residents of the Hotel have told him at the bar]], when he gets to Niffty, he can't even ''[[YouDoNotWantToKnow bring himself]]'' to repeat the stuff she told him.
* {{Yandere}}: Implied by this line to Sir Pentious:
--> '''Niffty:''' The bad boy is back. ''[jumps on Sir Pentious]'' '''''NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN.'''''\\
'''Charlie:''' [[FalseReassurance We're about 80% sure she's harmless.]]
* VillainousFriendship: Appears to be friends with Alastor despite him summoning her on a whim, compared to Husk being quite annoyed by the same. Her AxCrazy PerpetualSmiler attitude is likely why they both connect.

A foul-mouthed, alcoholic demon with a grim outlook on things. Alastor brings him on to be the front desk clerk and bartender at the Hazbin Hotel.
----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: In the pilot design, Husk only wore a hat and bowtie. However, the main series design gives him pants.
* ActorAllusion: Quite a few. Creator/KeithDavid once again plays a demon with a red and black color palette (''WesternAnimation/{{Spawn}}''), a cat (''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}''), and a man in debt to a Voodoo-themed Friend On The Other Side (''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'').
* AffablyEvil: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold at worst, being notably irritable at most times, but he's still willing to lend an ear as per his job as TheBartender, and is loyal to the rest of the hotel above all. Becomes more noticeable with the reveal he's [[spoiler:a former Overlord, having owned plenty of souls himself until he gambled them all away and sold his own to Alastor.]]
* AffectionateNickname:
** Alastor and Mimzy call him "Husker", although Husk doesn't seem to like either of them very much. In Alastor's case, [[spoiler:being the one responsible for taking away his Overlord status after Husk had gambled away too much, it's understandable.]]
** Husk himself calls Niffty "Niff".
* TheAlcoholic: He drinks a lot of cheap booze. Fittingly, Alastor makes him the bartender.
* AlmightyJanitor: Husk is ostensibly ''just'' TheBartender for the Hazbin Hotel after being effectively conscripted by Alastor in the Pilot, and doesn't seem that much more powerful than the average Sinner as a result. He's a [[spoiler:former Overlord]] though, and has both the skill and experience befitting someone of that position to back it up, as demonstrated when he saved Angel from a group of thugs trying to date-rape him. The only reason he's stuck following Alastor is because [[spoiler:[[HowTheMightyHaveFallen he sold his soul]] to the Radio Demon to sate his gambling addiction.]]
* BaritoneOfStrength: Has a deep, booming voice courtesy of Creator/KeithDavid, and [[spoiler:he used to possess quite the demonic power as an Overlord. Even as a mere bartender under Alastor's employ now, he's powerful enough to be able to weaponize regular playing cards with enough strength and accuracy to ''split metal apart''.]]
* TheBartender: In addition to manning the front desk, he's the Hotel's bartender, and is often there to listen to the patrons and staff pour their hearts out when [[INeedAFreakingDrink they need a freaking drink]] after a long day's work or to cope with trauma. This allows him to know most of the main casts' secrets and true personality, except for his master Alastor of course.
* BigOlEyebrows: He has ''very'' long and feathery eyebrows.
* BirdsOfAFeather: In "Masquerade", he bonds with Angel over the fact that [[spoiler:both of them lost everything by making deals with Overlords]].
* BullyingADragon: Bluntly telling [[TheDreaded Alastor]] that [[spoiler:he isn't as powerful as he claims to be because his soul is bound with someone else's too is not the wisest idea he's had so far, that's for sure.]]
-->'''Husk:''' [[spoiler:''Big talk'' for someone who's ''also'' on a leash.]]
* CatFolk: He's a cat-like demon with feathered wings.
* CatsAreMean: Downplayed. He's a cat demon, and he's far from the nicest fellow around, but he's more grouchy than malicious.
* CharacterBlog: He has an official Instagram account called [[https://instagram.com/bar_cat75/ bar_cat75]]. Following the archival of the account of Octavia from ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' due to [[https://archive.is/X3Fp3/7f3917ed32b56714dc1cda75d38062f80b09846e.jpg certain]] [[https://archive.is/X3Fp3/580a84dd573b0c5990ca75b49d996de96426b44f.jpg matters]] however, his account was archived as well and pretty much retired.
* CharacterDevelopment: In the beginning, Husk made it no secret that he was forced to stay at the Hotel because of his ties to Alastor and would gladly get as far away as he could if able to. Bonding with other residents helps to slowly crack his grouchy, tough shell to the point he refers to them as his "[[TrueCompanions drinking buddies]]". Tying in with that, he goes from being a PerpetualFrowner to something along the lines of TheStoic who cracks more [[WhenHeSmiles warm and genuine smiles]].
* CharacterSong: ''Royal Flush'', written by Silva Hound (the same artist behind ''Addict'') and performed by Husk's voice actor, Mick Lauer, and Music/JonathanYoung.
* ClothingAppendage: The way his fur is patterned makes it look like he's wearing a suit.
* ClusterFBomb: He's already a SirSwearsALot, but he's very fond of dropping the F-bomb.
-->'''Husk''': You thought it would be some kind of big fucking riot just to pull me outta nowhere? ''You think I'm some kind of fucking clown?''
* ComicallySmallBribe: How Alastor gets him to work for the hotel, conjuring a bottle of cheap alcohol for him to indulge in.
--> '''Husk''': What, you think you can buy me with a wink and some cheap booze? ''[beat]'' Well, you can!
* CommonalityConnection: [[spoiler:The entire premise of the song ''Loser, Baby'' in episode 4. When Angel Dust finally opens up a little about how miserable he is, Husk admits to him (in song) that he's in a similar bind, being a former Overlord who became indebted to Alastor.]]
* TheConfidant: His role as TheBartender at the Hotel inevitably turned him into this, though he's not shy in airing everyone's dirty laundry when his buttons are pushed. As he puts it, a bartender is usually someone ''anyone'' is fine talking about their problems to.
** [[spoiler: Episode 5 shows that his work for Alastor means he knows much more about him than basically anyone - possibly including where Alastor's been for the past seven years, and ''definitely'' including the fact that Alastor himself is on someone else's leash.]]
* CunningLinguist: [[invoked]]WordOfGod has it that he can speak Italian, Russian, German, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
* TheCynic: Long story short, this guy has a ''seriously'' negative view of everyone and everything. [[spoiler:Your every endeavor being rendered AllForNothing in a bad gamble with the Radio Demon does that to you.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Husk was once an Overlord, but out of desperation to keep his power, he made a deal with Alastor, which led to him losing everything and being eternally bound to the Radio Demon's will]].
* DeathDealer: He can throw cards with enough force and accuracy to kill people, along with explosive dice.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Downplayed, but while Alastor is considered TheDreaded in Hell, Husk doesn't hesitate to yell at, berate, point or even ''shove'' him. [[spoiler:Being a former Overlord himself probably helps]].
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: Despite the above, it should be noted that Alastor '''lets''' Husk get away with [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu flipping him off]]. [[spoiler: The moment Husk brings up the fact that Alastor's own soul belongs to someone else within earshot of the Radio Demon, Alastor can barely restrain himself to simply warning Husk of the fate he will bestow on the former Overlord should he ever bring it up again.]]
* DrowningMySorrows: [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=MqGEHNy3Wxo&t=1215 A]] [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=MqGEHNy3Wxo&t=9575 livestream]] reveals that the reason Husk is an alcoholic is that he's very deeply emotionally troubled.
* DrunkenGlow: Husk has a perpetual gray spot around the bridge of his nose to indicate his heavy drinking.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He actually appears a couple of times during Vaggie's exposition about Alastor. The first time is when Alastor is shown alongside the other Overlords of Hell, [[spoiler:which makes sense considering that he used to be one himself before selling his soul to Alastor to keep his power]]. Husk along with Niffty [[FreezeFrameBonus can be seen]] as silhouettes behind Alastor. The second time is in one of the later stylized images shown however it's when Vaggie's on screen so he's mostly obscured.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He's grouchy on the best of days, and often has to be coerced into doing anything for the Hotel or its staff, including running the Hotel bar. But he takes his job as a bartender seriously, and should he catch any demon trying to spike any alcohol being served, even if it's not on Hotel grounds, he will not hesitate to call them out and give them one hell of a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: To the extent that he's evil; he's a demon, [[spoiler:a former Overlord in fact]], who is in debt to Alastor [[spoiler:after Alastor bought out his gambling debts]] and to go with his grumbling personality, Both Mick Lauer and Keith David give him a growly, irritable voice.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: Well formerly evil anyways as he's a [[spoiler:former Overlord]], nowadays, he's just a grumpy old bartender. Mick Lauer's voice for Husk in the pilot is very, ''very'' rough sounding. Averted with Creator/KeithDavid in the show proper, where his voice, while still irritable, is a lot smoother sounding due to being, well, Keith David.
* {{Flight}}: According to Viv in [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=MqGEHNy3Wxo&t=4343 a livestream]], Husk can fly, but he doesn't do it often because he's very lazy. He finally does it in the season finale.
* {{Foil}}: To Cherri Bomb. Both of them are friends with Angel Dust, but while Cherri has been friends with Angel for a long time and is openly affectionate with him, Husk was formerly cold to Angel and only recently came to view him as a friend after Angel showed vulnerability and let his walls down around him. Like Cherri, Husk wants what's best for Angel, but unlike Cherri who thinks that feeding into Angel's addictive tendencies are the best way to make to treat his depression and that living up to the hotel's standards is only making his life more difficult, Husk encourages Angel to stick with the self-improvement he's learned from the hotel and not fall back into his old since Angel's trying to get into Heaven. "Welcome to Heaven" shows Angel doesn't necessarily have to pick one or the other, as he can still enjoy himself in moderation so long as he still prioritizes being a good person, Angel saying there's room for both Cherri and Husk as his friends.
* FoodAsBribe: Alastor persuades him to be the hotel's bartender with a bottle literally labeled "Cheap Booze".
* FreudianExcuse: Implied, but [[invoked]]WordOfGod confirmed that Husk grew up in a casino, which may have had something to do with his gambling addiction.
* FriendToAllChildren: [[invoked]] Official sources state that Husk is good with children.
* GamblingRuinsLives: He's addicted to gambling much the same way Angel is addicted to drugs and sex. [[spoiler:He used to be an Overlord but gambled away his bound souls until he got desperate enough to sell his own soul to Alastor.]]
* GotVolunteered: Alastor "calls in a few favors" to fill out the hotel staff, which includes teleporting Husk away from the middle of a poker game he was about to win. He's understandably not amused.
* GrumpyOldMan: [[invoked]] Official sources state he's in his sixties or seventies. [[note]] Incidentally, he also died ''in'' the 1970s.[[/note]]
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Husk's pilot design [[AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal original had him naked with only a top hat and bowtie,]] but his main series design gives him pants.
* HatesBeingTouched: Implied. He's a lot more hostile towards Alastor and Angel after they touch him multiple times.
* HereWeGoAgain: When he sees just who has yanked him away from his card game, all he can do is exasperatedly ask Alastor what he wants with him ''this time''. [[spoiler:Seeing as Alastor is effectively a constant reminder of how his gambling ended up costing him his status as an Overlord, it's easy to understand why he'd be upset at having to bend to the Radio Demon's will.]]
* HiddenDepths:
** [[invoked]] Official sources have stated that Husk likes magic shows, can speak multiple languages fluently and is good with children. Behind his grumpy exterior, Husk is actually also very patient and it takes a lot to make him legitimately angry.
** [[spoiler:Despite his somewhat unintimidating appearance, Husk was once an Overlord of Hell himself, implying that before Alastor took everything from him, he had some pretty significant power]].
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: [[spoiler:Husk was once an Overlord of Hell himself. In his desperation to keep his power, he made a deal with Alastor, which backfired horribly when Alastor stripped him of his power and trapped him in his servitude for all eternity]].
* InconvenientSummons: Gets warped to the hotel while setting down a winning poker hand. He’s understandably miffed about this.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Crass as he was in the pilot, Husk had every right to be pissed at Alastor for pulling him out of a poker game he was winning. Of course, he was winning because he was cheating, but neither he nor Alastor really care about that.
* JerkassToOne: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He's always cynical and crass, but is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold overall. With Angel however, he tends to be a lot more irritable. While it initially looks to be because of Angel constantly flirting with him, [[spoiler:it's because he hates how hard Angel acts out to hide how miserable he actually is, considering him a "phony" in a self-destructive spiral. It's only after the two of them have a heart to heart over their crappy lots in life that he {{subvert|edTrope}}s this and the two begin to bond, their duet "Loser, Baby" seeing them come to an understanding and become friends.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's crass, cynical, and spouts swear words as often as he chugs booze... but he's got a softer side to him behind that, as seen by the fact he’s actually a pretty patient person who’s good with kids. Husk displays this quality in the series proper by [[spoiler:saving Angel's life before he could get roofied by another demon in a shady bar, and later consoling him [[YouAreNotAlone by letting on he's wrapped in an unfair deal too]].]]
* LiteralMetaphor: The bottle Alastor bribes him with is literally labeled "cheap booze".
* MeaningfulName: A "husk" means a shell or a protective outer cover. This fits his character well since he's shown to be a ''husk'' of a man. [[spoiler:More specifically, he's a former overlord who lost his power.]]
* MixAndMatchCritters: He's a cat with wings and feathers.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: The crux of episode 4 is how he commiserates with Angel because they're both losers, culminating in the 'Loser, Baby' song.
-->''You're a loser, baby''\\
''A loser goddamn baby, you're a''\\
''fucked up little whiny bitch''\\
''You're a loser just like me!''
* OlderThanTheyLook: He's in his 60s or 70s, but it’s not that easy to tell by his appearance and voice.
* PerpetualFrowner: In stark contrast to [[PerpetualSmiler Alastor]], he always has a frown plastered on his face. In fact, when Alastor playfully makes him smile, he immediately defaults back to his irritated expression.
* PlayingCardMotifs: Appropriate for a gambler, he has various playing card suits patterned over parts of his body in his pilot design. However, his final design only features the heart symbols, and the wings are instead covered with dots, looking vaguely like a roulette wheel.
* QuakingWithFear: [[spoiler: Rather understandably, after Alastor nearly goes OneWingedAngelMode and threatens him with a FateWorseThanDeath for unknowingly pushing the Radio Demon's BerserkButton, Husk is left on the floor visibly shaking in fear.]]
* TheReliableOne: [[spoiler:Episode 5 shows that despite his distaste for Alastor, Husk still cautions Alastor about how Mimzy only ever seeks him out when she's gotten into hot water and needs to use her friendship with Alastor as a get-out-of-jail-free card. He also points out how with Alastor's seven-year disappearance, people will likely be more brazen about attacking him.]]
* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: Makes one when Alastor says he's volunteered Husk's services to the hotel:
-->'''Husk''': You thought it would be some kind of big fucking riot just to pull me outta nowhere? ''You think I'm some kind of fucking clown?''\\
'''Alastor''': ''(Beat)'' *[[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/620/834/636.png holding back a laugh]]* Mmmaybe.
* RichesToRags: [[spoiler:He was once an Overlord, but a gambling problem and a few bad hands left him indebted to Alastor.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: PlayedForLaughs in "Scrambled Eggs". When Vaggie decides to literally throw everyone into the middle of a turf war as part of her trust exercises, Husk takes the opportunity to slip out the door while Charlie and Vaggie are arguing rather than wait to get thrown himself. Later revealed to be subverted in a sense, as it's shown he actually did participate in that turf war. Presumably he was just preserving his dignity by joining it on his own terms.
* SirSwearsALot: He's got one [[{{Pun}} hell]] of a potty mouth, with every other thing he says containing at least one swear word.
* SourSupporter: He's already cynical and grumpy, and he wouldn’t be taking the job of bartender and hotel clerk if he didn't owe Alastor a favor, and if Al didn’t additionally bribe him with booze.
-->'''Charlie:''' Omigosh, welcome to the Happy Hotel! You are going to ''LOVE IT HERE!''\\
'''Husk:''' I lost the ability to love years ago. (''[[TheAlcoholic chugs a bottle of booze]]'')
** The supporter part comes in when on one occasionally he goes after Angel Dust at Charlie's prompting, meaning doing more then the bare minimum Alastor requires, and on another encourages Angel Dust not to fall back into drug use as an escape.
* TheSponsor: In fulfilling his role as TheConfidant, he unwittingly becomes this to Angel Dust. He intervenes when he starts self-destructing and gives him a PepTalkSong in "Masquerade", and would later talk him out of taking party drugs in "Welcome to Heaven".
--> '''Husk:''' Look, you want to fuck up all your progress? Be my guest. I just... [sigh] I just thought you were better than that.
* StraightGay: According to Faustisse, one of the artists for Hazbin who's a friend of Viv's, he is pansexual. However, he’s not portrayed as the usual stereotype of being pan-which is a LovableSexManiac that usually tries to hit on everyone. In fact, he rebuffs [[CampGay Angel's]] advances the moment they first meet.
* TeamDad: A downplayed and ''far'' grouchier example than most, but as the bartender, Husk knows how to listen to people and knows exactly what kind of problems that all the residents of the hotel are going through, and while he would rather let them solve their own problems, he isn't exactly above giving them some pretty solid, if very brutally frank advice, especially to Angel Dust.
* {{Tsundere}}: How [[invoked]]WordOfGod described Husk's personality. Fitting, since he is a cat.
* VisualPun: His fur is patterned like a black and white suit, making him a literal tuxedo cat.
* WickedHeartSymbol: Downplayed. Husk has hearts above his eyebrows, on his ears, and his nose is shaped like a heart. In his pilot design, they're also present on his wings.
* WingedHumanoid: An anthropomorphic cat with wings.
* YouExclamation: Upon seeing that Alastor has dragged him away from his poker game, he angrily growls a "You!".
