History Characters / NoStraightRoads

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her current outfit is a black leotard and two cups on her chest. Needless to say, it doesn't leave much to the imagination.

* MildlyMilitary: Their band gimmick is having a military theme: their mobile stage is shaped like a battleship, they "salute" their groupies, refer to their performances as "missions", their mansion's name is a corruption of the word "barracks" (aka military housing) and their outfits resemble navy uniforms. More darkly, it also shows how 1010's members are replaceable foot soldiers, and that their music is regimented and curated. As stated above, the band's [[HolidayMode Christmas Edition]] makeover keeps the military theme intact by giving them toy soldier/nutcracker-like duds.

* HiddenDepths: He seems to leigitimate enjoy the Natura District for all the plantlife there despite being a product of NSR's rule. Considering how much he hates NSR, that means a lot.

* SinisterShades: Wears a small pair of round sunglasses. They don't cover her eyes but they do enhance her haughty looks of disdain. She loses them after rediscovering her love of rock.

* LimpAndLivid: When she decides to fight, she's hunched over quite a bit with her arms limply hanging down so that the clock hands she's holding are almost touching the floor as she paces around. She's also hit her breaking point having given up entirely on trying to reason with or talk down Mayday and choosing instead to simply take her down herself.

* ObviouslyEvil: Compared to the rest of NSR who just look like the extragant performers they are, Tatiana's intimidating stature, somewhat inhuman characteristics, choice of clothing, don't give a particularly inviting image. The faces she makes both in-game and in a lot of pictures and animated sequences are also disconcerting ranging from stern looks, to utter disdain, to oddly off-putting smiles.
** We later find out that she [[WellIntentionedExtremist truly isn't that evil at all]] but in the process of saving Mayday, Zuke, and the city as a whole, she takes on an [[FlamingHair ignited look]] with [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]] that's [[FaceOfAThug rather hardcore-looking]] though Mayday seems to like it.

* RetiredBadass: She used to be a great musician and is shown to be powerful enough to destroy an entire army of robots with one cord...but she's largely retired from music to become a CEO. She's still powerful enough to be the FinalBoss. This is why she gives Mayday her guitar: while her love of rock has been reignited, she's retired and thus wants her to act on it instead.

* WillfullyWeak: She keeps her guitar inside her crown to give her TimeMaster powers...but the one time we see her actually use it to directly attack with music, she obliterates an entire army with a single cord, making it clear using it this way was actually ''weakening'' her. She does this this way due [[IHatePastMe her feelings about her past self.]]

** As her boss battle progresses, Tatiana becomes a person of fire just like Kul Fyra and the backdrop displays a Goolings concert. Though at that point it's almost more just spelling it out rather than foreshadowing. Tatiana ends up having to actually spell it out to Mayday afterwards, anyways.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Is repeatedly stabbed in the chest by a metal golden key throughout her boss fight.

* PlayingWithFire: She throws out large fireballs during her boss fight.

* MirrorBoss: Compared to every other member of NSR who rely on either fantastical abilities or technology to fight, Tatiana's primary means of offense is either rushing in with melee attacks or blasting May and Zuke with projectiles from a safe distance. Much like how May and Zuke fight enemies.

* HiddenDepths: He apperently really likes the Natura District for all the plantlife there despite NSR being the one maintaining it through Yinu's contributions. Considering how much he hates NSR, that means a lot.

* ShootTheTelevision: Mayday punches the TV in Bunk Bed Junction's hideout ''twice'' to vent her anger at NSR. The first time is after BBJ's victory over DJ Subatomic Supernova, which, to May's anger, was seemingly all for nothing thanks to the launch of a new NSR satellite that the pompous DJ was apparently supervising behind the scenes. The second time is after the band's victory over 1010, where she does it out of frustration over not being able to find any more news concerning NSR. As noted above, she somehow believed the TV chef whose program was running at that moment [[InsaneTrollLogic "had it coming" and could be related to Tatiana somehow]].

* RedGreenContrast: While both colors are naturally present in each member of [=B2J=]'s [[HolidayMode Christmas Edition]] outfits, the red is more prominent in Mayday's, fitting her cheerful and energetic yet rash personality.

* [[RedGreenContrast Red/Green Contrast]]: While both colors are naturally present in each member of [=B2J=]'s [[HolidayMode Christmas Edition]] outfits, the green is more prominent in Zuke's, fitting his peaceful and more levelheaded demeanor.

* WingdingEyes: May sometimes gets heart eyes when fawning over how cute Sayu is or how hot 1010 are.

* PointyEars: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. While Mayday has some pretty pointy ears, they're not exactly a sign of supernatural origin on her part. Plus, in a world where all the characters' [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation different skin tones]] will catch the player's eye before anything else, her elfin ears would probably go unnoticed.

* PointyEars: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. While Mayday has some pretty pointy ears, they're not exactly a sign of supernatural origin on her part. Plus, in a world where the players will likely notice all the characters' [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation colorful skin tones]] before anything else, her elfin ears would probably go unnoticed.

* PointyEars: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. While Mayday has some pretty pointy ears, they don't exactly serve as a clue to her being of supernatural origin. Plus, in a world where all the characters' [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation multicolored skin tones]] catch most players' eyes than anything else, her elfin ears would probably go unnoticed anyway.

* WhenTreesAttack: Similar to her daughter's rose motif, she visually resembles a giant tree. Her hair looks like the branches of a leafless tree, her torso is tall and narrow like a tree trunk, her legs aren't visible and the arena becomes surrounded by roots once the fight moves away from the concert hall. In addition, the sounds of creaking wood can be heard when she moves. Naturally, the [[HolidayMode Christmas Edition]] takes the tree correlation further by giving her a white dress with garlands incorporated into its design, which makes her look sort of like a giant Christmas tree come to life.

* PointyEars: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. While Mayday has some pretty pointy ears, they don't exactly serve as a clue to her being of supernatural origin. In a world where the characters' [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation multicolored skin tones]] jump out at most players than anything else, her elfin would probably go unnoticed anyway.

* TearsOfJoy: In the epilogue of the game, Mayday falls to her knees bawling [[spoiler: while thanking Tatiana/Kul Fyra profusely when the latter entrusts Mayday with her guitar and encourages her to keep rock music alive and succeed where she (Tatiana) has failed.]]

* TearsOfJoy: Mayday falls to her knees bawling [[spoiler: while thanking Tatiana/Kul Fyra profusely when, by the end of the game, the latter entrusts Mayday with her guitar and encourages her to keep rock music alive and succeed where she (Tatiana) has failed.]]

* ImprobableHairstyle:Blue hair that seems to jut out straight backward ending in short dreadlocks.

* ShootTheTelevision: Mayday punches the TV in Bunk Bed Junction's hideout ''twice'' to vent her anger at NSR. The first time is after BBJ's victory over DJ Subatomic Supernova, which, to May's anger, was seemingly all for nothing thanks to the launch of a new NSR satellite that DJSS supervised at some point. The second time is after the band's victory over 1010, where she does it out of frustration over not being able to find any more news concerning NSR. As noted above, she somehow believed the TV chef whose program was running at that moment [[InsaneTrollLogic "had it coming" and could be related to Tatiana somehow]].

* InsaneTrollLogic: The second time Mayday punches the TV in her and Zuke's hideout, she feels hilariously unwarranted vitriol towards the TV chef whose program she and Zuke are watching at the time. Zuke is understandably worn out.
