* AnimalLover: She has a way with animals and monsters and doesn't like hurting them. [[spoiler:During the mission to clear out the tunnel to Portia she insists in trying to find a non-violent way to get rid of the monsters infesting it, but Logan makes it clear there's no other way this time.]]



* BookDumb: She isn't very big on all that reading thing and anything that requires a lot of thinking.
* BrutalHonesty: She isn't one for beating around the bush. Be nice to her and she'll be nice to you, annoy or piss her off and she won't be subtle on calling you out for it. If you get in a relationship with her she can ask how your day was and she'll quickly get bored of all the Builder talk and earnestly say she didn't fall in love with you because of your profession.



* TheGadfly: She likes teasing people close to her, especially if she feels they need to relax a bit. You and Mi-an are not safe from her pranks. At all.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Grace is very nice and friendly, but she can be very stubborn and has learned tricks to deal with child troublemakers like Andy. [[spoiler:Turns out she didn't threaten Andy at all, she just asked him to act scared since Grace and Logan were working together.]]



* PaperThinDisguise: Played with. It's initially obvious to everyone in town that the "Bronco" who shows up is really a kid in a bad costume. But later the real Bronco arrives, and it turns out that Andy's disguise wasn't actually that far off from the real thing.

* AlmightyJanitor: Unlike Qi, Matilda or Trudy, Heidi doesn't have a status of authority, but she has ''a lot'' more influence and importance in Sandrock's re-development. Heidi's the one who usually comes up with the bigger projects for Sandrock's improvement and her opinion on them is crucial before anything is given the green light.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: The sensible foil to Qi's eccentricities.



* HiddenDepths: She can throw one mean punch. [[spoiler:She's the "Super Girl" who ''literally breaks'' the Punch-o-Tron in Golden Goose and Catori is forced to commission something far stronger in order to withstand her punches. Fittingly enough Heidi will ''always'' have the top score there, if you beat it, she'll have topped it by the next day.]]

* BadLiar: A strange variantion. He can make do stuff like say some random thing he thinks it's true or embelish a story he's taken part in, but will always back down if someone actually calls his BS.



* TheFriendNobodyLikes: ''No one'' looks forward to talking to Cooper.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: ''No one'' looks forward to talking to Cooper. They know he's got a good heart, but it's his habit of never shutting his trap that gets on people's nerve.


Added DiffLines:

* WallOfText: Think you're safe from his unvoiced lines? No, you're not. Chatting with him casually most of times ends up with him having a ''scrolling bar'' to read the entire thing.

* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:She leaves after the Duvos invasion in order to make a proper report on her activities as a spy on Sandrock. She returns later, however, and how she reacts depends on how flirty you were in the letters you send to her.]]

* HenpeckedHusband: Downplayed, but Mabel is one of the few people in Sandrock that can shut him up very quickly if he tries to pass some yakmel-manure as truth.


Added DiffLines:

* ParentingTheHusband: Downplayed. Mabel sometimes has to remind Cooper he has the bad habit of talking first and hearing never and she isn't afraid to call Cooper out when he tries to spout some old-fashioned value as "wise" instead of "lesson that can be learned from past dumb mistakes".

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: If married to he can be asked to cook, but unlike most spouses he will ''never'' cook a bad versions of the meals you choose.



* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Even before her CharacterDevelopment Trudy is always listening to what other people have to say and consider their suggestions no matter how outlandish they sound. [[spoiler:And after the Duvos incident she grows to be a respectable mayor that is not easily pushed around as she was when Matilda was around.]] She flat out refuses to take ALL of Mi-an's 500,000 Gol donation for the school project asking Heidi for a proper budget so she won't take a single Gol more than Sandrock needs.]]

** During Venti's sidequests he eventually catches her letting you enter the scrapyard for free which gets him ''very'' upset at her and Venti gets an (deserdly so) earful from him. However, on the next day he asks the Builder to go talk to her since he felt it was unfair of him to have chastised her for it, especially since Venti felt horrible about it and dragging you into the whole mess.



* MusclesAreMeaningful: His size isn't just for show. During ''Shipwreck Confidential'' he makes a "shortcut" instead of waiting for an iron ladder to be installed... and by shortcut we mean he chucks you, Trudy and Mi-an ''higher than small buildings'' with little effort. He can also be asked to Spar with and he fights barehanded.

* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: He's basically Yan with no moustache, a different haircut, and better physical fitness. This does not go unnoticed by a lot of people and he nearly gets thrown into jail upon arriving in Sandrock since Justice mistook him for Yan.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Foil}}: An obvious one to his sleazy brother, Yan. Wei is a self-made man with years of experience and regarded as a legendary Builder. He's very competent, hardworking, honest and a fair boss. One of the first things he does is get rid of the ridiculous made-up "President" label Yan strapped to Sandrock's Commissioner position.

* DirtyCoward: Zig-zagged. He's not afraid of shifting blame or throwing anyone under the bus to save his skin. Even in spars, he's the only one to use shields, which he "fights" by cowardly hiding himself and ineffectively charging at you as his attack. [[spoiler:Still, Yan does join the mob rallied to save Matilda when she gets kidnapped by Logan.]] And later into the game [[spoiler:he defects to Duvos side once the defense plan fails due to a traitor, but he still fights you.]]

** If you manage to beat him in a spar, he will have a long conversation with himself about whether or not to keep calling you Skinny Arms, since, you know, you ''did'' beat him in a fight. He eventually decides that he ''can't'' give you a different nickname, so he'll keep calling you Skinny Arms ironically.

Added DiffLines:

* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: He's not exactly ''rich'', but becoming so is his driving motivator. Unfortunately, his "business sense", such as it is, isn't particularly great. When advertising for his shop, he thinks that people will be more interested in seeing ''him'' than any of the products he sells, and he's always looking for the next big thing to appeal to tourists. This bites him in the ass when he tries to sell Musa on his marketing schemes. [[spoiler: Musa correctly points out that, best case scenario, Sandrock's tourism is about 200 people a year, and Arvio's profit margin is about 1000 gols a month. If Arvio successfully markets his store to those tourists and doubles his profit margin, which is already a big supposition, that means his profit margin will be 2000 gols a month, hardly anything for Musa to get excited about. Arvio actually takes this to heart and works on getting ''his sister'' more exposure and business, which, considering her works are of extremely high quality and wanted all over the Free Cities, but she's terrible at marketing them, is fantastically effective.]]
