History Characters / JurassicParkParkGuests

* PromotedToLoveInterest: In the original book, Ellie was Grant's student and there was no romantic connection between them. Here, she's both a colleague and his love interest, although their interactions are downplayed and never draw attention away from the main storyline. [[spoiler:She officially gets with Alan in ''Dominion''.]]
* ScreamingWoman: She lets out a few shrieks in the first film when the raptors attack her. She also does a fair amount of screaming in ''Dominion'' thanks to her encounters with giant locust swarms, the ''Dimetrodons'', and the ''Giganotosaurus'' nearly eating her.

* CharacterDevelopment: She goes from a ChildHater to FriendToAllChildren due to saving and bonding with Hammond's grandchildren.

* FireForgedFriends: He initially dislikes Ian due to his being... Ian, and his hitting on Ellie. They do manage to bond when they're alone during the failure of the park, but they become staunch allies when they work together to save the kids from Rexy, proving to each other that they're both good men at heart. In ''Dominion'', they spend most of their shared screentime snarking back and forth at each other and pulling one another out of tight situations.

* AdmiringTheAbomination: He greatly respects ''Velociraptors'', and when they're fed a cow, he is noticeably torn between a mixture of horror and intense satisfaction at having witnessed a dinosaur he specializes in making a kill in action. After it's all over, his breath has noticeably quickened and he has a weird kinda smile on his face. He also has the slightest smile on his face when he witnesses Rexy for the first time, with what looks like a mix of awe, horror, and ''glee''.

* CharacterDevelopment: From ChildHater to FriendToAllChildren due to saving and bonding with Hammond's grandchildren.

* TookALevelInCynic: In the third and sixth films, aside from conversely no longer being a ChildHater and instead a FriendToAllChildren, he is noticeably more grumpy, cynical, and snarky, which only intensifies once he actually goes to Isla Sorna. ''Completely'' justified due to 1.) His near-death experiences in the first film have made him something of a ShellshockedVeteran, 2.) The existence of Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna, the opening of Jurassic World, and the fact that dinosaurs are now part of the modern global ecosystem all potentially threaten his livelihood as a paleontologist since this means that people are far less interested in funding his dig sites, meaning that he is constantly short of cash to fund his excavations, not to mention people have become more interested in the genetically-created [=InGen=] dinos roaming among them than in learning about the real ones whose remains he's trying to dig up and research.

* GondorCallsForAid: In ''Jurassic Park III'', she receives a garbled message from Alan. Immediately, she realizes -- correctly -- that ''a lot of shit must be going down'' and calls in ''the Navy and the Marines''.

* MsFanservice: Though tremendously downplayed vs. the book (where she's a grad student in her early 20s and [[MaleGaze much loving prose is lavished on her legs]]).

* ChekhovsHobby: Her computer hacking.

* DemotedToExtra: Has a cameo appearance in ''The Lost World'' along her brother when Malcolm visits Hammond in the beginning.
* GirlinessUpgrade: Appears to have undergone this between the first and second films.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Crossed with ChildrenAreInnocent -- she's clearly very well-intentioned, and doesn't take being abandoned by Gennaro well.

* TheLoad: Moreso than Tim; Lex does extremely dumb things, but she has her useful and smart moments, too (in the film anyway). Both the film version of Tim and the book version of Lex can be forgiven as they are young kids.

* PrecociousCrush: Lex quickly gets one on Dr. Grant.

* DemotedToExtra: Has a cameo appearance in ''The Lost World'' along his sister when Malcolm visits Hammond in the beginning.
* DentedIron: Because of repeatedly taking what even adults would be lucky to survive, by the end of the film, he has a limp, his hair is singed, his arm is bandaged, one of his ears is bleeding, and he has a dazed look about him.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Considered an in-universe {{Jerkass}} when Hammond and [=InGen=] act like he's nothing more than a whiny critic about his concerns of Jurassic Park, especially with his famous TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about the scientists never thinking about whether they ''should'' do their miracle work when they realized they could, because he's functionally betraying the entire point he was paid and brought there for easing the minds of the park investors. Not only does the first outbreak prove him dead right to the point that he comes off as the OnlySaneMan, but the long-term consequences of John Hammond's work haunt the entire rest of the franchise [[spoiler:and the larger ecosystem of Earth as we know it once dinosaurs finally make it to the mainlands.]]

* FriendToAllChildren: He let go of dislike for children in his first film after bonding with Hammond's grandchildren, Charlie and Eric in the third film, and Maisie in the sixth film.

* OlderAndWiser: In the sixth film, he has gotten better with age.

* PapaWolf: Despite his earlier claims of not liking children, he goes through ''a lot'' to protect Lex and Tim in the first film. He also went extended lengths to protect Charlie and Eric in the third film, and Maisie in the sixth film.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He has a phobia of Raptors, due to the events in the first film as it carried over in his other film appearances.

* OlderAndWiser: In the sixth film, she has gotten better with age.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Ellie is utterly creeped out that one of Biosyn's secret labs is housing thousands of living genetically-enhanced locusts.

* PapaWolf: Despite his earlier claims of not liking children, he goes through ''a lot'' to protect Lex and Tim in the first film.

** He's even this in regards to Ed Regis (the other half of his CompositeCharacter status) to a lesser extent. While the former is also a DirtyCoward who abandons Lex and Tim during the ''Rex'' attack, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he at least feels guilty about it after things cool down]] and does attempt to get back to them. In Gennaro's case, we never see any indication that he feels remorse for having abandoned the children.

* CloudCuckooLander: Downplayed in comparison to the book (particularly since he never ends up on morphine), and only in the first film. He tends to act very eccentric and cheerful and his explanations of chaos theory are strangely, though appropriately told. It mostly goes away after his injury.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Starts ''The Lost World'' as a disgraced laughingstock and constantly DisappearedDad to his daughter Kelly; ends the movie with his relationship with her restored, his relationship with Sarah strengthened (perhaps the start of a new family unit built from the pieces of previous ones), and his career and professional reputation restored and then some, as not only are all of his claims now known to be true but he helped save San Diego from a rampaging ''T. rex'', making him a public hero. In the interim between this film and his appearance in ''Fallen Kingdom'' he has at least one book about his experiences published, too.

* FriendToAllChildren: He has three kids of his own and told Grant he loves kids. He even risked life and limb on two separate occasions to try to keep kids out of harms way from dangerous dinos. Even though he's bitter towards Hammond, he never takes it out on Lex or Tim when he visits the household. By the time ''Film/JurassicWorldDominion'' takes place decades later, he's had two more children and claims to have taken the [=BioSyn=] job in part to keep up with expenses.

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Despite the fact that in ''The Lost World'' he was willing to risk his own life to prevent the authorities from shooting the Bull Rex when it got loose and rampaged through San Diego searching for its infant, by the events ''Fallen Kingdom'' he appears to no longer have any sympathy towards the dinosaurs as he advocates at a U.S. Senate meeting against rescuing them from the erupting Mount Sibo and instead leaving them to die.

* ForWantOfANail: ''Camp Cretaceous'' reveals that Claire wanted them to join the rest of the campers so that they could be with people thier own ages. [[spoiler:Ironically, not going to the camp actually turned out for the best, as the kids aren't able to make it to the docks before the last ferry leaves]].

* DentedIron: Because of repeatedly taking what even adults would be lucky to survive, by the end of the film, he has a limp, his hair is singed, his arm is bandaged, one of his ears is bleeding, and he has a dazed look about him. ([[https://twitter.com/the_tim_murphy and according to a]] CharacterBlog, [[GallowsHumor hilariously]] [[ShellShockedVeteran traumatized]]).

* MotorMouth: When Dr. Grant first meets Tim, he has to put up with Tim gushing about him and the book he wrote.

* TheMillstone: Neither she nor Tim can really be blamed for being TheLoad since they're both just kids caught up in a horrifying situation, but Lex's decision to grab a lantern and start spotlighting an angry ''T. rex'' turns her into this. Had she simply froze in terror and done nothing, both children would have been in ''less'' danger.

* BadassBookworm: A world famous mathematician, willingly draws the attention of Rexy to chase him and survives, becomes even more one in the second and sixth films.

* BigBrotherInstinct: In the kitchen, she attracts the raptors' attention so that they go after her instead of Tim.

* AdmiringTheAbomination: He greatly respects ''Velociraptors'', and when they're fed a cow, he is noticeably torn between a mixture of horror and intense satisfaction at having witnessed a dinosaur he specializes in making a kill in action. After it's all over, his breath has noticeably quickened and he has a weird kinda smile on his face.

* HeroicSacrifice: ''Very'' narrowly averted in the first film when he's trying to save the kids from Rexy by distracting her. Played with in ''The Lost World'' when they get chased by the raptors; he manages to draw the lead raptor's attention long enough for Sarah and Kelly to get to safety. Averted in ''Jurassic World Dominion'' as he uses a flaming locust on a stick to distract the ''Giganotosaurus'' from his companions -- and then ''shoves the stick into its mouth'' and catches up with them!

* TheWormGuy: Much like Grant, although her area of expertise is much more narrow. She winds up tagging along on Hammond's suggestion. She still does provide some good insight into the flaws and dangers of the park, pointing out that it's impossible to predict how an extinct creature will behave and the ignorance of the designers in picking plants and dinosaurs that look pretty but are also dangerous. Played straighter in ''Dominion'' since she's the one who fisrt notices the threat posed by Biosyn's giant locusts and collects one to study and later collects a DNA sample from one in the labs.

* WalkingTechBane: He makes TV screens go screwy just by touching them. When the tour breaks down at the park he instantly asks what he touched.
