* HardHead: Despite his lack of horns, Remmy's skull is thicker than most sheep, as he demonstrates ramming a punching bag with Avo behind it and knocking her backwards through it.

Added DiffLines:

* EthicalSlut: As an adult shop owner, she has elements of this. She's admired by others for keeping it SafeSaneAndConsensual, and in a few comics she returns Remmy's clear attraction to her with sex.
* FriendlyShopkeeper: Keeper and owner of ''Pandora's Box'', the local sex shop.


Added DiffLines:

* LovedByAll: When [[spoiler: she goes savage]], it becomes clear just how many people care about her from the outpouring of grief after. Even Don seems to have had a soft spot for her, as he demands Remmy keep her name out of his mouth while [[spoiler: beating him.]]

* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: As with Dawn Bellwether, he often gets taller predators feeling his pompadour hair out of affection or interest, which tends to bug him.



* InSeriesNickname: "Yarn Ball", generally by Avo and Betty, "Woolly Bully" (after the song of the same name) by Ozzy, "Mutton" by Al and "li'l lamb" by Dora. More generally, he's called "Grazer" at first and "Wannabite" later.

More generally, he's called "Grazer" at first and "Wannabite" later. Most of these began as InsultOfEndearment before he got used to it.

* BrotherSisterIncest: There's nothing ever confirmed, but, there are occasional hints they may have sex with each other.

* BrotherSisterIncest: There's nothing ever confirmed, but, there are occasional hints they may have sex with each other. When meeting with Anna's ex, he accuses the two of them of inbreeding, which Wolter avoids responding to.

* UnreliableNarrator: On top of all the information he refuses to share with the audience, such as what made him move to Pack Street in the first place, he'll sometimes leave out parts of the narrative entirely. When the story starts, he's implied to have just moved in and is still getting to know everybody. In 'Cooking With Cormo', we find out through Avo chewing him out that he was actually living here for a ''week'' before that, during which time he refused to talk to or even look at anyone. With this context, their hostile and teasing attitudes near the start make a lot more sense, and we see just how deep anti-pred sentiment runs in him even if he learns to overcome it.

Added DiffLines:

* ShoulderTeammate: Certain comics depict him getting around by laying on a larger packkmate's shoulders, such as Al.


Added DiffLines:

* HiddenDepths: Owing to her backstory explained in more depth in the comics, she surprises Remmy by demonstrating a good knowledge of cooking she uses to cook for him after he burns a mac and cheese.

** When he found [[spoiler: Kenny's stash]], it included a pinup photo of Betty he became very interested in. Although he tried to hide it from Ozzy, it wasn't hard for them to put two and two together, and Ozzy agrees not to tell Betty or the rest of the pack about his peeking.

* NWordPrivileges: A variation. According to "Sheepfacts", he sees absolutely no problem with being called "hoofer", an implicitly oft-derogatory nickname for ungulates, simply because, well, it's accurate, and it rolls off the tongue more readily than "ungulate" does. Subverted in "Cooking with Cormo", where Remmy mentions his distaste for 'grazer', and Avo accordingly tells the pack to avoid using the 'g-word.'

** Betty also gets ugly to him when he calls her a bitch behind her back, less because of the insult and more because he's a sheep using a term aimed at canines.


Added DiffLines:

* FeminineWomenCanCook: Zigzagged. She's rather masculine, but while caring for Remmy in bed she demonstrates a rare feminine trait by making vegetable soup for him. It tastes good enough for him to recall it while eating fish much later.


Added DiffLines:

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Less so than Charlie, but it's there. She invites herself into his place twice, once to shear him against his will and once to take his temperature and care for him during his fever, including putting a thermometer in his mouth without asking.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationDeviation: Bizarrely, his 'Meles Meles' shirt he wears frequently in the comics to the point of LimitedWardrobe, is never given a mention in the prose story. He brings up Meles Meles as one of his favorite bands, but that's the extent of it.


Added DiffLines:

* YouAreFat: Crossed with InformedDeformity, Remmy is repeatedly made fun of for being fat by the pack. He resents this, as his roundness mostly comes from having as much wool as he does, and goes away when he shaves; he's actually quite slim under it.


Added DiffLines:

* SmokingIsCool: She tends to chomp on cigarettes a lot, to the point that Remmy learns early on to recognize her coming just from the smell.

Added DiffLines:

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Her EstablishingCharacterMoment. After insulting Remmy for his lack of horns, he turns it around on her by calling her pants 'mom jeans', which Anneke and Wolter both get a laugh out of. She's initially cold to this, demanding to be left alone with him, and he fears the worst before she ends up picking his lock so he can get in and leaving without retaliating.

* ScullyBox: Evoked. Whenever art depicts him behind the counter, he's always standing on a box to make himself taller. In a cast shot, he's among the smallest of all the characters.

Added DiffLines:

* BurgerFool: Slightly averted. He actually doesn't seem to mind his job much, and is never anything but polite and chummy to customers, especially Remmy.
* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: As seen in the image, he's drawn and described with these.


Added DiffLines:

* ThePigPen: Rex is routinely noted as being filthy, covered in grease and doing things like scratching his chin with the spatula he uses to cook on top of it.
* SpeciesSubversives: Of BadOlBadger. Rex has no temper on him, even when yelled at, and responds to Remmy's burst of anger with unexpected kindness in turn.

* GRatedStoner: His attitude, physical attributes, and habits highly suggest drug usage, which Remmy notes, but he's never actually seen or said to consume anything.



* TheStoner: He constantly acts slow, relaxed and mellow. It's unclear if he's really on drugs, though.

* OnlySaneWoman: Zig-Zagged. She ''is'' the first one to realize that maybe the preds have been making their own unfair assumptions about Remmy. This is why she's the first one to talk to Remmy during "Stray" and actually make some show of asking why he blew up at Al.

* BadassBaritone: Despite his fluffy appearance and the VocalDissonance, WordOfGod says that he sounds approximately like the rough-voiced Gary Cole (Gary Duncan) in The Brogues' GarageRock classic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdymJQttzIU "I Ain't No Miracle Worker"]].

-->I can't hold the facade. My eyes are wide, I'm grinning so hard my face hurts, and all of a sudden the laughter's coming out of me so hard and fast I'm having trouble breathing. Also, my heart is going like four thousand miles an hour.\\
