* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Takes on the persona of a poet in emulation of his ex-owner]] and admits in his lore finale that he has no idea what he's doing, but as the other rats point out, he's actually doing a decent job at it.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: [[spoiler:They have [[HatesBaths avoided touching water]] through their time in the Rattic to prevent the purple ink spilled on them from washing off, as [[StillWearingTheOldColors a connection to their past]]; they undye their fur using the humans' washing machine after embacing FreedomOverProsperity, saying they'd rather "rip the band-aid off" and get it over with rather than taking it slow.]]

* LibertyOverProsperity: [[spoiler:Being a former pet, Acho spends a significant part of the series having an IdentityBreakdown from struggling to find a sense of belonging, and the hectic life in the Rattic [[NotUsedToFreedom gradually sends him into a state of delusion that he's better off retreating into a pet cage]].

Apo, or Ratpo, is the Cosplayer of the group. They started out in the Laundry Room with Acho and Sniff. %%[brief backstory? and personality] used to live in a cabin\\
\\
Apo has one life left. He was first [[PushedAtTheMonster pushed into a clowder of cats by Oli to save ratself]] on Day 29, then was blown up by Owen [[spoiler:in the destruction of the future DoomsdayDevice's core]] during the Jingle Jam Christmas event on Day 60.
----
* {{Cosplay}}: Apo is designated as the Cosplayer of the group, and spends most of the series wearing one of Literature/LittleRedRidingHood, nicknaming themself "Little Rat Riding Man".
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: A subtle change; following his "Forgotten Memories" lore finale, Apo can be seen with longer hair, implying that he's growing it out as he [[spoiler:embraces his gender identity]].
* FriendlessBackground: Has spent months living alone in the woods prior to the start of the SMP, and mentions on Day 29 that xe made xyr first friends in the Mansion with the other rats.
* GiftGivingGaffe: On Day 39 and following Ratsgiving, in honour of Oli's initiative of "Garbage Day", Apo -- clearly still resenting rat for having them PushedAtTheMonster and being acquitted for it -- decides to give rat a globe "because I know you can't read it whatsoever" (and thus garbage to rat) and glass shards because they hope "it pokes through your intestines". [[InsultBackfire Oli takes it all in rats stride]].
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Describes the interior of the Janitor's Van on Day 29 to be white, desolate, and empty, designed to invoke this reaction, and invoke it, it does -- sending her into a pessimistic spiral to the point of yelling at her flea-chat to find another rat companion lest they be sent to be poisoned and killed too.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: After trying and failing to [[spoiler:coax Acho out of the Son's cage]] on Day 80, Apo retreats to the Rattic Bar to ask Martyn for the strongest drink he's got.
* {{Meido}}: Dresses up as Haru for the Halloween event on Day 16 in emulation of human festive practices, having learnt that from living in a cabin before coming to the Mansion; Martyn quickly also joins in on the bit by donning his own maid dress. He wears the outfit again [[spoiler:while grieving]] during the Christmas event on Day 64.
* SweetTooth: Makes a dark joke on Day 29 that the Janitor didn't even offer him candy before capturing him, and the Grandmother gives him several packets of "Scootles" for Christmas.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to their Twitter character bio, watermelon, and by extension, melon juice.
* TraumaCongaLine: Day 29 has been ''rough'' for Apo -- first, ze gets caught by the Janitor raiding the Laundry Room, who openly expresses murderous intent to the rats whom he ''knows'' are sentient, then ze's trapped in his Van to the exterminator's and left to GoMadFromTheIsolation while preparing to ''die'', and after being rescued and having a philosophical moment to live by CarpeDiem, ze raids one of the Storage Rooms with Oli for cosplay gear, only for both of them to get cornered by Oy and Oreo and for Oli to [[PushedAtTheMonster shove hir off a ledge to be mauled to death]] while he escapes.

'''Personal pronouns:''' All pronouns\\
'''Specialties:''' Combat and navigating
Bek is the Fighter of the group. She used to live in the subways in the city before moving to the Mansion, and started out in the Lobby with Oli.\\
\\
Bek has two lives left. He was accidentally killed by Eloise during their date due to an underestimation of the rats' toughness. %%How did they die? It's definitely after Day 47.
----
* ActionGirl: From a rat whose specialty includes combat, this is obvious.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: {{Downplayed|Trope}} and {{subverted|Trope}}. While running from two oversized cat clones on Day 47, Bek rushes to the Mother to get captured and teleported away from the cats, as opposed to being mauled to death on the spot. Unfortunately for her, the Mother captures the cat clone ''with'' her, which almost kills her in the cage, but she is luckily freed in time.
* {{Bouncer}}: She works as this for the Rattic Bar, and is usually there to keep an eye on any visitors, who may or may not have been previously banned from the place (or had restricted access) for various reasons. Her fleas are also quick to check the rules of the establishment in case she has to throw anyone out.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: They prefer to use fists to fight as opposed to weapons like swords and knives.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Briefly on Day 19, as pointed out by Will and Krow; while on their way to rescue another rat from the Maid's Room, Bek laughs at the Maid and calls her an idiot for not being in her room to keep an eye on the rats trapped there, which is immediately followed by them being captured by the Maid.
* LesbianJock: Vehemently denies any attraction to men, and runs a fighting ring.
* NoodleIncident: On Day 2, she mentions that she once got stuck in a tin can.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Bek, a small rat, almost manages to beat Ponk, a badger guest wearing a leather tunic, in a fight and possibly ''could have'' if he wasn't wearing the armour.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to her Twitter character bio, pizza.
* VisualPun: Bek operates a [[Film/FightClub secret]], underground gym-slash-combat club under the cover of a rat laundromat built into an upturned laundry basket. As he puts it, it's a [[WhiteCollarCrime money-laundering]] scheme.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: GenderInvertedTrope. She is shirtless, no matter the weather. She explains that it's to have the widest range of motion in a fight. Of course, being a rat in Minecraft probably helps with getting past the media nudity taboo… [[spoiler:and she's left in dismay when everyone else forces her to put on a shirt in the finale so that she won't ''freeze to death'' in the January cold.]]

\\
El has one life left. She was first killed by a wolf while exploring the woods with Scott on Day 53, and was later blown up by Owen [[spoiler:in the destruction of the future DoomsdayDevice's core]] during the Jingle Jam Christmas event on Day 60.
----
* BlueBlood: According to her 1st episode, El is an "aristo-rat" whose family owns three alleyways and two garbage bins, one of which she inherited at birth.
* CityMouse: El proclaims herself to be from the city and unprepared to handle constant threats like wild wolves. According to Scott, she's more from the suburbs, at least in contrast to Shelby being from the BigApplesauce.
* CutenessProximity: Her first reaction to the axolotls in one of the garden ponds is to coo over them, calling them "sea rats".
* DefectorFromDecadence: In spite of being from rat nobility, El left "aristoracy" behind because she thought it wasn't right for her family to treat commoner rats poorly and leave them to go hungry.
* ForcedTransformation: Is temporarily turned into a cat after a potions mishap courtesy of Oli on Day 39. Thankfully, the transformation is reversible.
* HandwritingAsCharacterization: El is one of the few rats who can write for much of the series, and is the go-to scribe whenever the rats have to leave {{Forged Message}}s to the humans; it's suggested that her "passable for human" and implicitly good handwriting is a remnant of her noble upbringing.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: After a long day of wrangling [[WildCard Tubbo's]] shenanigans and the start of the feline invasion on the household on Day 10, El decides to "hit the Rattic Bar".
* NoodleIncident: On Day 15, while trying to convince Ponk that they have to leave the Mansion as soon as possible, El recounts sneaking into a big house when she was younger and finding a taxidermied badger mount on the wall there.
* PassThePopcorn: When Tubbo runs to [=1v2=] the cats of the Mansion, some of the other rats watch on from the table in the Lobby, with El asking if anyone has popcorn while watching with a spyglass.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: After her ForcedTransformation into a cat on Day 39, El starts gaining a craving for [[StockAnimalDiet milk]] and meowing in between reading.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to her Twitter character bio, pine nuts.

'''Specialty:''' Safety\\
''"There's one thing Safety Man needed, and it was a knife."''
Jimmy is the Safety Rat. He started out in the Play Room with Krow and El. In spite of his designated role, he has a boisterous streak and dubiously violent tendencies.\\
\\
Jimmy has two lives left. He was killed by a massive cat clone on Day 47 [[spoiler:when Scott's revenge plan against the cats backfires]].
----
* DarkAndTroubledPast: As he states on Day 10, the reason Jimmy is the Safety Rat is apparently because he took a pledge after his old house burnt down with everyone in it.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:After attracting the attention of the Gardener, Jimmy runs off into a pond to escape, and leads on the Gardener enough for him to ''drown'' in the garden pond. Thankfully for the humans, the Gardener respawns.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: In spite of being designated as the "Safety Rat", Jimmy has a fairly reckless streak that lands him in trouble every so often, has gotten himself and many of the other rats caught by humans on numerous occasions, and is more than willing to try and ''stab'' humans with a knife. When El comments on his hi-vis safety vest at the very start of the series, Jimmy describes himself as "all about safety", and accidentally shoves her off the toy box they were on literally two seconds later.
-->'''Krow:''' That didn't seem very safe!
* LackOfEmpathy: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. On Day 29, when Apo is captured and imprisoned in the Janitor's Van, Jimmy questions if the rats even cared if the Janitor drove off with Apo, essentially questioning if they should even bother saving them. Only when ''just about everyone else'' responds with a resounding BluntYes and/or start protesting does he declare himself on board with the rescue mission as well.
* MetaphorIsMyMiddleName: He claims on Day 1 of the SMP that 'Safety' is his middle name.
* NoSocialSkills: While he's able to get along with most of the other rats, Jimmy can get quite tactless at times, especially when he's angry.
* NoodleIncident: Apparently, there's a course one has to take to run around with a knife, and another to take to hold scissors properly; Jimmy has alleged to have failed the latter due to a bad accident.
* PsychoKnifeNut: Jimmy is decidedly one of the more… ''unhinged'' rats, shall we say, and has been constantly running around with a knife since Day 1 and threatening humans every other day. [[spoiler:He also endorses Scott's RevengeBeforeReason plan against the cats when he first hears of it, though his opinion immediately shifts to opposition when it's clear it's not working as intended.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to his Twitter character bio, porridge.

Krow has one life left. It lost its first life from not being saved from a cage in time, then was mauled by a cat on Day 19.

----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: {{Justified|Trope}}; Martyn and Owen mention on Day 2 that Krow's red fur streaks were dyed using tomato paste, while Krow claims it's dyed from fox blood.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Loses its third and final life in the Jingle Jam Christmas event, in which death in any time period is equivalent to a death in the Mansion's present day, but is brought back to life through the other rats' asynchronous singing to "wish upon a star" and Oli's second life.]]
* ClosestThingWeGot: On Day 59, Krow is roped into brewing healing potions in an attempt to repair Phil and Kara's wings, as the only rat who has remotely ''any'' brewing experience after [[spoiler:Scott enlisted its help in his revenge plan that ultimately led to the Cat-astrophe.]]
* ADogNamedCat: A rat named 'Krow', specifically. This has caused [[WhosOnFirst some occasional confusion]] during Phil and Kara's guest appearance on Day 59; it also takes offense when Owen finds a quest-book from the Gardener titled "Stupid Crows".
-->'''Krow:''' Pay attention to ''the'' Krow. You guys may be crows, but I am always ''the'' Krow.
* EarNotch: Is vehemently anti-cat and the one time it tries to play nice with a cat, it loses a canon life to the cat and receives this. Martyn's "Secret Santa" makes a nod to this incident:
-->''I'm the S to the A to the N-T-A\\
I've got a fat rat tum and my whip is a sleigh\\
Because I'm tuggin' on the reindeer\\
Humans better steer clear\\
Or I'll be taking out the chunk like cats did to Krow's ear''
* ExtremeOmnivore: Surprisingly {{enforced|Trope}}. Krow mentions on Day 59 that its fleas say it had a phantom membrane at one point, i.e. what Phil and Kara are looking for, but later reports back that it ate it. In reality, Krow picked one up from killing hostile moths (phantoms in-game) earlier in the series, but due to GameplayAndStorySegregation, wasn't supposed to have it in the first place.
* TheIllegible: {{Implied|Trope}} on Day 9, where Krow says it can write, but its handwriting is too shaky for writing any {{Forged Message}}s; it's suggested this may be related to its small size in contrast with much larger quill pens.
* MysteriousPast: Krow states on Day 1 that it doesn't really remember its past; this causes it to stand out among all the rats for being among the few with essentially no backstory details from before arriving at the Mansion.
* RidiculouslySuccessfulFutureSelf: In the version of the future the rats travel to during the Jingle Jam Christmas event, Krow will eventually be the first rat to set foot on the Moon, which causes the rats to question whether the future is unchangeable and if that makes Krow immortal. As it turns out, [[spoiler:it doesn't, and while Krow is brought BackFromTheDead at the end of the event, WordOfGod eventually [[https://twitter.com/krowfangtv/status/1713986306185805948?s=20 jokes about]] it getting run over by a car and losing its last life permanently at some point in the future, making Krow's true fate questionable.]] [[invoked]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Krow once straight-up logs out after being cornered and nearly killed by a cat. Given it's already on one life at a time, it's a perfectly understandable decision. %%my guess is day 47 but i need to check the vod

Martyn has one life left. He sacrificed his first life so Oli could win his court case against Apo on Day 36; he lost his second life by being mauled by a cat while trying to save Oliver on Day 57, and was burnt to death in the chimney trying to save Philza and Kara on Day 59. However, he previously made a [[LeonineContract deal]] with a spirit during the Halloween event on Day 16, who gave him a fourth life.
----
* TheBartender: He runs the bar in the Attic and has given out his share of advice when it comes to inter-rodential relationships between the rats.
* BigEater: On Day 1, he claims to have eaten four human-sized Scotch eggs in a row once, though what complicates matters is that he's [[DimensionalTraveler technically a human trapped in a rat's body]]…
* DimensionalTraveler: He shares CharacterOverlap with V-Tuber Martyn and his datastream-hopping lore.
* DisproportionateRetribution: PlayedForLaughs on Day 3, where Martyn bans Owen from his then-future Rattic Bar for making a WhatsAHenway joke at him in the in-game chat earlier that day; he's left only half-barred later that day after helping to stock up the alcohol supply, quarter-barred at the start of Day 16 for recognizing a Halloween decoration as a cat instantly, and fully unbanned for turning up to the bar's opening after the Halloween event on Day 16.
* FrenchMaidOutfit: Spends part of his time on the server wearing blond twintails and one such outfit in his "[[Music/HatsuneMiku Ratsune Miku]]" persona.
* GoldDigger: Gets engaged to Water during her guest appearance in an attempt to get his paws on her royal termite fortune.
* HurricaneOfPuns: As befitting of an establishment run by the Pun Master, every menu item in the Rattic Bar is named after a rodent pun, including Smirnoff Mice, Tailquila, Mratyni, Cosratpolitail, Whiskery, Rat on the Beach, Long Island Mice Tea, Piña Tailada, Strawberry Ratuiri, and Shots of Taileys.
* LaserGuidedKarma: On Day 57, Martyn lures the Gardener into walking into the Lounge's fireplace, who complies due to ArtificialStupidity. He's caught ''by'' the Gardener and put in a cage shortly afterward.
* LeonineContract: When the spirit Owen traps in his carved pumpkin calls out to Martyn to free it, Martyn only agrees in exchange for an extra canon life to be "beyond" normal rats and a piece of glowstone to "shine" upon everyone else.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: {{Discussed|Trope}}; Martyn claims to have [[ExplosiveBreeder 500 children]] by the time the series takes place, though none of them are ever seen in the livestreams or episodes.[[note]]A later livestream has him claim that he only has two kids, which is likely a reflection of his content creator counterpart's family life.[[/note]] Given his background as a DimensionalTraveler, it's unlikely for this to be true.
%%* TheNeedless: According to [[invoked]]WordOfGod, being a DimensionalTraveler, Martyn "doesn't need nutrition or sleep as he's currently not flesh and bone", but tries to act like everyone else to blend in and maintain a human sense of self.
* PungeonMaster: Martyn's designated specialty is being the "Pun Master", and he engages in this behaviour every so often.
* RuggedScar: Martyn has scars on his right arm, but no one knows for sure how he got them. He [[MultipleChoicePast lies about their origin every time]], like fighting off a large cat six times his size or activating a MouseTrap with a full block of cheese.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: PlayedForLaughs on Day 59; when Phil questions how no one has been asked for ID in the Rattic Bar, Martyn replies they only do so when Jimmy the Safety Rat is around, and Bek, his bouncer, jokes about how the resident Lawyer is paid off to turn a blind eye.
* TeamDad: While having a {{Troll}} streak a mile wide, Martyn is considered the oldest of the rats, is often seen as a leader figure, and has organized several activities in the series.

->'''IGN:''' [=OrionSound=]\\
'''Preferred name:''' Oli\\
'''Personal pronouns:''' He/Rat/Garbage\\
'''Specialties:''' Rummaging through garbage, eating things he shouldn't eat, and monologuing about rat life\\
''"I came in just to cause problems."''
Oli is the Garbage Rat. He started out in the Lobby of the Mansion with Bek. Born in the sewers and raised in the trash, he had a rough life prior to his arrival there.\\
\\
Oli has one life left. He was first murdered in self-defense by El, then has his second life [[spoiler:stolen to revive Krow]] at the end of the Jingle Jam Christmas event on Day 60.
----
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Oli repeatedly smashes the Fourth Wall out of existence on Day 1, making references to the rats' character sheets on Twitter and content creation on channels.
* BrooklynRage: Oli, like garbages sister Shelby, is from New York and used to be a street-fighter. Garbage also casually threatens to ''kill'' any rat who tries to steal garbages memoirs to the Butler.
* CannotKeepASecret: In his lovesickness, Oli writes in his memoirs to the Butler on Day 19 about the rats' presence in the Mansion and how "they're not all good" for ''stealing'' said memoir, to everyone else's dismay.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Oli's [[ParentalAbandonment mother apparently "died long ago from rat diseases" and his father was apparently flushed down the toilet of a night club and drowned as a result]], causing him to turn to rummaging through garbage for survival. He also has an absurdly large number of dead family members; the only one who's confirmed to be alive is Shelby, his [[LongLostRelative long-lost sister]] whom he thought was dead.
* DirtyCoward: Apo's first life was lost because Oli [[PushedAtTheMonster pushed them to the clowder of cats ambushing them to save himself]]. This results in a CourtroomEpisode, where he's acquitted.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Oli, befitting of the Garbage Rummager, has been known to eat substances like apple seeds and glue. He ''is'' a rat, though, which are known for eating just about anything and everything.
* InterspeciesRomance: Oli has a crush on the human Butler of the Mansion, and wants to, in his words in the finale, "pork" him; when the other rats find out, they decide to let him have "this one" in part due to his DarkAndTroubledPast. However, this ''is'' PlayedForLaughs throughout the series as [[BrattyHalfPint the Son]] has been blamed for several of Oli's attempts to catch the Butler's attention. [[spoiler:It doesn't work out in the slightest.]]
* PoopingWhereYouShouldnt: Has a tendency to leave rats faeces (various Chisel and Bits bits in-game) all over the Mansion and the Attic, including on windowsills and tables, behind and under furniture, and in other rats' houses.
-->'''Oli:''' Wherever I go, I leave my mark.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to rats Twitter character bio, [[ExtremeOmnivore garbage]].
* VagueAge: He often says a different number whenever someone asks about his age, and he claims to have been on the Titanic during its sinking. He also claims that his mother was the model for the face of the Statue of Libraty/Ratue of Liberty, yet its real-life counterpart was designed and assembled in the 19th century.

'''Personal pronouns:''' They/He\\

''"Someone's been jailed! They need a lawyer!" (plays ''Series/LawAndOrder'' sound effect)''
Oliver is the Lawyer of the group. They used to live in the walls of a lawyer's office in New York until they decided to hop in a UPS box and shipped themself out to a random address in the countryside, i.e. the Mansion, and started out in a storage room with Will.\\
\\
Oliver has one life left. He was first killed by Martyn on Day 1 at Oli's request for telling Acho about the Attic's open window to the roof, and drowned while trying to access [[spoiler:the future DoomsdayDevice's satellite]] during the Jingle Jam Christmas event on Day 60.
----
* {{Bookworm}}: Other than law documents, living in an office means Oliver has read plenty of the books there in their time, including books on human civilization and how they're formed; they are also aware of concepts like the human education system and make a passing mention to the cat clones performing mitosis. However, their human knowledge isn't perfect either, as while they have heard of a xylophone as of Day 81, they assume it is a scientific instrument.
* ICallItVera: Names their letter opener knife "Justice".
* IngestingKnowledge: {{Discussed|Trope}} on Day 1. It's claimed that Oliver is smart and knowledgeable because whenever they eat a paper document, they absorb the information and knowledge printed on it.
* NonActionGuy: He's not great at fighting and running, in part due to his lawyerly background.
* NoodleIncident: They make references to several cases dealt with in the law office they were from, including one involving an escape room.
* ThePenIsMightier: Most of the other rats use {{Sewing Needle Sword}}s or safety pins; Oliver stands out by wielding a large pencil.
* APigNamedPorkchop: As they put it on Day 57, Babamari, their adopted Glow Squid child, is "like 'calamari' but baba".
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[DiscussedTrope Suggests]] running away from the Mansion during the Cat-astrophe on Day 47, saying it's not a safe environment for him to raise his adopted Glow Squid child with Sniff, Babamari.
* SecretKeeper: For most of the series, Oliver is the only one in the know that Will has stolen Oli's diary and read rats memoirs, in part due to Oli threatening to kill anyone who does so.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to their Twitter character bio, melatonin gummies and [[ExtremeOmnivore important time-sensitive documents]] in the law office they're from, though the paper holds no nutritional value.

->'''IGN:''' [=Owenge_Juice=]\\
'''Preferred name:''' Owen\\
'''Personal pronouns:''' He/Him\\
'''Specialty:''' Tinkering and engineering
Owen is the Tinkerer of the group. He started out in the piano in the Music Room with Martyn, having clambered in to try to fix it. He's incredibly passionate for his craft and embodies the analytical, curious scientist, but tends to act accordance to rules and order.\\
\\
Owen has two lives left. He died from the Wither effect after inhaling deadly fungal spores at the end of Day 39.
----
* AgentScully: He's skeptical of any claim unless he can see it with his own two eyes, including Tubbo's hunch about the cats' presence on Day 10 and Billzo's PunchedAcrossTheRoom ability on Day 62.
* AmbiguouslyRelated: Owen's mother alleges his father to have been a great inventor and scientist, which Owen later grows disinclined to believe due to a lack of evidence in writings and inventions. However, there ''is'' one rat who possibly fits the bill: [[spoiler:Rusty, the rat who pioneered {{dimensional travel|er}}, wrote a book on how to open portals to other realms (and indirectly helped Sneeg find his way back to the ''Origins'' worlds), and has since moved on to traverse the multiverse.]]
* BlackSheep: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Tubbo tries to frame Owen as this and as LesCollaborateurs for "the Ratsistance" for wanting to live in quiet hiding from the humans of the Mansion, as opposed to wanting to kill them or cause mass property damage. In reality, not even other members of "the Ratsistance" hold views as extreme as Tubbo's.
* CuriosityKilledTheCast: While destroying and removing patches of invasive fungus from the garden, Owen secretly ignores Scott's warnings of how deadly it is to investigate it for "science", first keeping one of the mushrooms in a containment chamber on Day 35, then after planting said mushroom in the Boiler Room to get rid of the moth infestation there later that day, ''going into the Boiler Room to investigate it further'' at the end of Day 39, albeit at his gear-chat's request[[note]](by an 87% poll victory)[[/note]]. By the time he's realized what a bad idea ''that'' is, it's too late. [[spoiler:His lore finale reveals this fiasco happened in the first place because he let his {{Pride}} get to him.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Was raised as the youngest in a massive single-parent household, who was separated from his family after the owner of the cottage they lived in the walls of called an exterminator on them.]]
* DelayedOhCrap: On Day 29, after insisting on how he told Bek's group in the Apo rescue mission [[spoiler:how ''not'' to overload a boiler to ensure it functions properly]], Martyn, Acho, and Scott are quick to point out Owen technically told them exactly what to do, and that Bek's group consists of some of the most volatile rats in the Attic, which can only end poorly.
-->'''Owen:''' ''({{Beat}})'' Oh no, they're gonna [[spoiler:blow up the boiler]], aren't they?\\
''(Everyone else affirms this)''
* DisappearedDad: The only things Owen really knows about his father are based on what his family told him, allegedly a great scientist himself, though he later assumes it must have been a MotivationalLie.
-->'''Owen:''' I was born to one of the greatest rat tinkerers that ever existed.\\
'''Krow:''' Go on.\\
'''Owen:''' I don't really remember his name.
* TheEngineer: Owen's specialties are listed to be tinkering and engineering, and has received several tools as presents throughout the series. His love for gadgets and machinery is {{exploited|Trope}} by Bek on Day 29; Bek's team in the rescue mission for Apo winds up utilizing Owen's knowledge on [[spoiler:how the boiler worked to sabotage it, causing its destruction.]]
* ExtremeOmnivore: He's practically on par with Oli, the literal Trash Rat, for having tasted the strangest items on a server of rats, and is willing to take a bite out of anything he can get his paws on. This includes a compass, a wither rose, oxidized copper, Scott's Christmas tree, and a ''Tide Pod''. {{Deconstructed|Trope}} in the latter case, as [[EnforcedTrope cc!Owen]] immediately gives his character the Poison status effect using commands for doing so. He also refuses to eat the invasive fungus with toxic spores, but moreso because he wants to investigate it ForScience.
* FictionalDisability: The only rat without a tail in the canon era, though the character bio artwork depicts him with one and it doesn't affect the gameplay out-of-universe. He has [[HidingTheHandicap denied this]] when asked about it.
* InSeriesNickname:
** "[[WebVideo/RatMovieMysteryOfTheMayanTreasure The Big Rat Who Makes All the Rules]]", for being one of the server admins out-of-universe and one of the tallest rats in-universe.
** Water refers to Owen as their "hero" for saving them from being trapped in a cage several times. Owen, not being a fan of bugs in general, doesn't like this.
* InexplicablyTailless: Owen stands out among the cast for being the only tailless rat in-game. It's implied that he lost it to a clock in the past, [[spoiler:and his lore finale all but confirms that it was in an accident while [[TooCleverByHalf attempting an ambitious tinkering project]].]]
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Owen has 461 older siblings.
* MysteriousCubeOfRubik: {{Implied|Trope}}; Owen picks up a Rubik's cube at some point off-screen, presumably from the toy store in New York on Day 60 (as he didn't livestream his perspective), and later mentions having spent a couple of days trying to solve it. Later on Day 62, he attempts to solve it ''while trapped in a cage'', waiting to be rescued, and proudly announces that he's solved it in the finale [[spoiler:[[SkewedPriorities while everyone's on the run]] from the Janitor after he invaded their home and figuring out how to survive the winter]].
* TheNotLoveInterest: To [[HeterosexualLifePartners Scott]]; they are affectionate and protective towards one another and even have a StargazingScene together, but the relationship is explicitly stated to be platonic.
* PsychologicalProjection: Upon being advised to carve a scarier design for his pumpkin to ward off the spirit [[HalloweenEpisode on Day 16]], Owen redesigns it to [[TraumaButton the scariest thing he can think of]] -- a clock. Martyn and Apo immediately interpret it as "ageing" and the passage of time, which Owen [[SureLetsGoWithThat goes along with]] whenever someone questions it (as he himself lives ''in'' a broken grandfather clock).
* RomanticWingman: Tries his best to give advice to Bek in her romantic pursuit of El.
* TheRuntAtTheEnd: Describes himself as such in his 3rd and 24th episodes for being the youngest of hundreds of siblings and thus not being the most nourished of the lot, though he mentions experiencing a growth spurt afterward[[note]](apparently at the age of 2 while being canonically 3)[[/note]]. It's this upbringing that has motivated him to [[TheSmartGuy think his way out of situations]] rather than brute-forcing things.
* TheSmartGuy: Being the resident scientist, Owen tends to be more knowledgeable and cautious than the other rats, though he has his moments of acting like a KnowNothingKnowItAll, and one instance of that [[CuriosityKilledTheCast got him killed]].
* TheSpock: He has a strong preference for logic and subtlety and grew up being on the cautious, rule-following side, and tends to be dismissive of intuition and struggles with emotions and tone at times; [[DownplayedTrope however]], there are several critical moments where [[NotSoAboveItAll his own emotions and pride cloud his better judgement]].
* SweetTooth: Has a large candy stash from the Halloween event on Day 16, hidden under his carpets so no other rats or spirits can find it.
* TooCleverByHalf: His FatalFlaw; he acknowledges that sometimes, his pride gets the better of him, including [[spoiler:losing his tail to an over-ambitious project involving a clock]] and his first canon death, which only happened because he thought he could think of a solution while not listening to the actual experts on related topics. [[spoiler:His insistence on fixing the FesteringFungus problem also almost kills him, as his homemade gas mask ends up being so stuffy that he almost suffocates in the smoke from the burning toxic fungus.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to his Twitter character bio, tangerines.
* TheUnfavourite: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Being the youngest of a giant litter and [[spoiler:not having realized his talents or any noteworthy traits yet]], he often felt overlooked and sidelined growing up, but it's clear that his mother was trying her best.

In spite of this, he's happy to be in the Mansion after making many friends there.\\
\\
Scott has two lives left. He was killed by one of the cats on Day 43.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: {{Justified|Trope}}; as apparently he got caught in some flower dye pre-canon and part of his fur went cyan.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: One of the friendliest rats, who once blithely suggested to burn the Maid alive with a fire charge he found, and has threatened to turn any rat [[BerserkButton who messes with his crops or gardens]] into compost on more than one occasion.
* BookDumb: Being raised in the country means he doesn't quite learn to read until after settling in the Mansion, but he ''really'' knows his stuff when it comes to agriculture and invasive species which can affect it.
* CabinFever: Is notably more irritable when cooped up in the Mansion and unable to go out into the Garden, and it's suggested that not being able to have a hand in food production has contributed to his ChronicSelfDeprecation tendencies.
* CountryMouse: Scott's backstory; being raised in a farming family means he gets stressed easily indoors and is much more comfortable outdoors. He takes to learning about more 'urban' aspects like enchanting quickly.
* ItWasAGift: Scott refuses to throw in the Nether star Sneeg gives to him to try to open the portal for Sneeg to leave, and even [[spoiler:packs it up to take it with him before fleeing the Rattic in the finale]]; Sneeg himself cites that Scott sounds similar to and reminds him of "[[WebVideo/OriginsSMP a space man [he] once knew]]".
* TheNotLoveInterest: To [[HeterosexualLifePartners Owen]]; they are affectionate and protective towards one another and even have a StargazingScene together, but the relationship is explicitly stated to be platonic.
* PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars: Receives a nasty gash from losing his first canon life to a cat, immediately responds with a RevengeBeforeReason plan, and later mentions having "horror flashbacks" on Day 57 when Martyn dives down to save Oliver and dies distracting the cat.
* RevengeBeforeReason: After his first canon death, Scott [[PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars gains a large scratch scar on his right arm]] and is adamant on getting his revenge, even if the normally cat-hating Krow, Owen, and most of the rat population all try to dissuade him due to the danger; they even compare his behaviour to the [[WildCard typically-unhinged]] Tubbo. [[spoiler:The plan ultimately backfires; under his potion's effects, the two cats multiply in numbers, one of those cats gets killed by another cat, two more suddenly drop dead, and the rest shift in sizes -- either enlarging to half the height of a human or shrinking to the size of a termite. The resultant disaster, which Scott ultimately ''very much'' regrets, ultimately causes two canon deaths.]]
* SkewedPriorities: Upon realizing [[ViolentGlaswegian how thick of a Scottish accent the Janitor has]] [[spoiler:in the finale]], he cannot help but comment on it while everyone's running for their lives.

* StepfordSmiler: Accidentally shoot your best friend? Run off into self-isolation, beat yourself up about hurting another individual, and showcase [[ChronicSelfDeprecation horrifying levels of self-worth issues]] while falling into a depressive daze.
* TeamChef: Since Scott is the one in charge of the food supply as the resident Farmer, this eventually extends to cooking as well. [[spoiler:However, contrary to his belief, brewing potions is ''not'' like making soup, and when his potion-fuelled revenge plan goes outright catastrophic, Owen physically bars him from trying to brew an antidote which he doesn't know how to make anyway.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to his Twitter character bio, carrots and pumpkin pie.

* FaintInShock: Tubbo apparently faints and drops whenever he hears a bell. Out-of-universe, it's because his game crashes whenever it happens.
* InSeriesNickname: He's often referred to as "Tub-rat".
* NoPartyLikeADonnerParty: Tubbo is first found locked in a cupboard with Shelby, allegedly for three years as their food supply ran out in the first ten days. This, alongside the lack of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood sugar]], has apparently caused him to turn a nest of ratlings on the lower shelf into "rat burgers" for survival; but Shelby has no recollection of this. This also causes him to [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies trick Bek into engaging in cannibalism without her foreknowledge]], to just about ''everyone else's'' disgust.
* LaResistance: Tubbo declares himself the leader and representative of "the Ratsistance" (or "the Ratbellion") against Owen, whom he assumes is "the big rat that makes all the rules" in-universe, and whom he calls "an evil dictator" for not wanting to bring harm to the humans and the cats in the face of extermination. When he gets the memo that Owen is not, in fact, in charge of the rats in-universe, Tubbo runs off to form a government to fill the power vacuum.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to his Twitter character bio, [[SweetTooth sugar]]. Not sweets, ''sugar''.
* TunnelNetwork: Has constructed one in the Rattic, which he uses to get around all the bases within; as he says, he "lives with everyone".
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Tubbo is quick to infer and connect the dots that the humans introduced cats to the Mansion on Day 10 in an attempt to exterminate the rat population, but his attempts at protecting the rats -- by trying to ''kill'' the humans and the cats -- are seen as overzealous at best.
* WildCard: Tubbo is ''extremely'' prone to starting conflicts for no reason and is, in essence, a menace to rat society. The first thing he does on the server is try to start an uprising, and it goes to the point Apo strongly suspects that he might have "ratbies" (rat rabies).

''Without'' any alcoholic influence, as El otherwise alludes to?]] They also threaten Kyle with a sword in private on Day 42 over him and Nuke calling the rats stupid.
* ChekhovsGun: Finding about a dozen potions in the Drawing Room bar on Day 2, Will ultimately trades two of the Potions of Weakness they obtained and stashed away to Tommy for a red bottle cap, which Martyn then modifies into a cute hat.
* ChildLikeVoice: Has a voice high-pitched enough to be mistaken for a child, but is actually an adult.
* {{Claustrophobia}}: Is sent into distressed spiralling nearly every time they're trapped in a cage, and once describes the cages to be "too small". Talking to anyone who may be stuck in the cage with them helps as a distraction.

* HeightAngst: Has his moments, being one of the shortest rats and thus not exactly the fastest… which is ''not great'' for running from humans.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: PlayedForHorror; after their ForcedTransformation into a cat on Day 39, Will starts gaining more cat-like traits, including being more combative and having a distinctively feline appetite preference, to the point of having to visibly resist eating their own close rat friends… and mentions on Day 57 that they still have occasional intrusive thoughts about [[ImAHumanitarian the latter]] despite being returned to their original form and ''being vegetarian''.

[[spoiler:When Scott finds they have this in their possession at the end of Day 47, he has it burnt to make sure the fungus has no chance of spreading, even if none of the rats Will has interacted with since have died from toxic spore inhalation ''because of'' interacting with them. [[PlayedForDrama This ends up causing quite a lot of conflict even after the Cat-astrophe]] due to Will's general refusal to ''give up'' the mushroom since it hasn't caused anyone harm so far; Scott ends up giving them a Chisel and Bits replica of the fungus as a gift to make up for it later on.]]

Acho has one life left. They were chased down and killed by an oversized cat clone on Day 47 [[spoiler:when Scott's revenge plan against the cats backfires]], and was mauled by another cat on Day 57 after aggravating it.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Acho has lilac fur; it's justified from him being a former pet fancy rat [[spoiler:who had purple ink spilled over him, and his fur is revealed to be naturally greyish white in his lore finale.]]
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Takes on the persona of a poet in emulation of his ex-owner]] and admits in his lore finale that he has no idea what he's doing, but as the other rats point out, he's actually doing a decent job at it.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: [[spoiler:They have [[HatesBaths avoided touching water]] through their time in the Rattic to prevent the purple ink spilled on them from washing off, as [[StillWearingTheOldColors a connection to their past]]; they undye their fur using the humans' washing machine after embacing FreedomOverProsperity, saying they'd rather "rip the band-aid off" and get it over with rather than taking it slow.]]
%%* FriendlessBackground:
%%-->[[spoiler:The truth is, I was always alone,\\

* HatesBaths: Has consistently and desperately tried to avoid touching any bodies of water throughout their time on the SMP.
* HighClassGlass: They wear a monocle over their left eye and are immediately assumed to be posh and caring for expensive brands. [[spoiler:In truth, they only do so to emulate their poet ex-owner.]]
* LibertyOverProsperity: [[spoiler:Being a former pet, Acho spends a significant part of the series having an IdentityBreakdown from struggling to find a sense of belonging, and the hectic life in the Rattic [[NotUsedToFreedom gradually sends him into a state of delusion that he's better off retreating into a pet cage]]. It takes a while for him to break out of this and embrace "freedom" rather than going back to "before".]]
* APetIntoTheWild: Used to be a pet fancy rat who somehow escaped and arrived at the Mansion, and is hesitant to talk about his life before the Mansion. It's heavily PlayedForDrama in fuelling his personal arc and internal conflict. His lore finale reveals that [[spoiler:he chewed through the wooden cage he was kept in and escaped that way]], and he comes to realize that [[spoiler:his ex-owner was quite neglectful towards him]].
* SafetyInIndifference: [[spoiler:The reason Acho decides to let himself get adopted by the Son in the middle of an IdentityBreakdown on Day 80 is ''because'' of this, citing FreedomFromChoice and not having to worry about death or danger or ''grief''. He soon finds he misses his friends and the joy and purpose he's found with them more than he does life ''before'' meeting them, and [[LibertyOverProsperity rushes to break out]].]]

\\
Apo has one life left. He was first [[PushedAtTheMonster pushed into a clowder of cats by Oli to save ratself]] on Day 29, then was blown up by Owen [[spoiler:in the destruction of the future DoomsdayDevice's core]] during the Jingle Jam Christmas event on Day 60.
----
* {{Cosplay}}: Apo is designated as the Cosplayer of the group, and spends most of the series wearing one of Literature/LittleRedRidingHood, nicknaming themself "Little Rat Riding Man".
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: A subtle change; following his "Forgotten Memories" lore finale, Apo can be seen with longer hair, implying that he's growing it out as he [[spoiler:embraces his gender identity]].
* FriendlessBackground: Has spent months living alone in the woods prior to the start of the SMP, and mentions on Day 29 that xe made xyr first friends in the Mansion with the other rats.
* GiftGivingGaffe: On Day 39 and following Ratsgiving, in honour of Oli's initiative of "Garbage Day", Apo -- clearly still resenting rat for having them PushedAtTheMonster and being acquitted for it -- decides to give rat a globe "because I know you can't read it whatsoever" (and thus garbage to rat) and glass shards because they hope "it pokes through your intestines". [[InsultBackfire Oli takes it all in rats stride]].
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Describes the interior of the Janitor's Van on Day 29 to be white, desolate, and empty, designed to invoke this reaction, and invoke it, it does -- sending her into a pessimistic spiral to the point of yelling at her flea-chat to find another rat companion lest they be sent to be poisoned and killed too.

* {{Meido}}: Dresses up as Haru for the Halloween event on Day 16 in emulation of human festive practices, having learnt that from living in a cabin before coming to the Mansion; Martyn quickly also joins in on the bit by donning his own maid dress.

'''Personal pronouns:''' All pronouns\\
'''Specialties:''' Combat and navigating
Bek is the Fighter of the group. She used to live in the subways in the city before moving to the Mansion, and started out in the Lobby with Oli.\\
\\
Bek has two lives left. He was accidentally killed by Eloise during their date due to an underestimation of the rats' toughness. %%How did they die? It's definitely after Day 47.
----
* ActionGirl: From a rat whose specialty includes combat, this is obvious.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: {{Downplayed|Trope}} and {{subverted|Trope}}. While running from two oversized cat clones on Day 47, Bek rushes to the Mother to get captured and teleported away from the cats, as opposed to being mauled to death on the spot. Unfortunately for her, the Mother captures the cat clone ''with'' her, which almost kills her in the cage, but she is luckily freed in time.
* {{Bouncer}}: She works as this for the Rattic Bar, and is usually there to keep an eye on any visitors, who may or may not have been previously banned from the place (or had restricted access) for various reasons. Her fleas are also quick to check the rules of the establishment in case she has to throw anyone out.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: They prefer to use fists to fight as opposed to weapons like swords and knives.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Briefly on Day 19, as pointed out by Will and Krow; while on their way to rescue another rat from the Maid's Room, Bek laughs at the Maid and calls her an idiot for not being in her room to keep an eye on the rats trapped there, which is immediately followed by them being captured by the Maid.
* LesbianJock: Vehemently denies any attraction to men, and runs a fighting ring.
* NoodleIncident: On Day 2, she mentions that she once got stuck in a tin can.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Bek, a small rat, almost manages to beat Ponk, a badger guest wearing a leather tunic, in a fight and possibly ''could have'' if he wasn't wearing the armour.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to her Twitter character bio, pizza.
* VisualPun: Bek operates a [[Film/FightClub secret]], underground gym-slash-combat club under the cover of a rat laundromat built into an upturned laundry basket. As he puts it, it's a [[WhiteCollarCrime money-laundering]] scheme.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: GenderInvertedTrope. She is shirtless, no matter the weather. She explains that it's to have the widest range of motion in a fight. Of course, being a rat in Minecraft probably helps with getting past the media nudity taboo… [[spoiler:and she's left in dismay when everyone else forces her to put on a shirt in the finale so that she won't ''freeze to death'' in the January cold.]]

----
* BlueBlood: According to her 1st episode, El is an "aristo-rat" whose family owns three alleyways and two garbage bins, one of which she inherited at birth.
* CityMouse: El proclaims herself to be from the city and unprepared to handle constant threats like wild wolves. According to Scott, she's more from the suburbs, at least in contrast to Shelby being from the BigApplesauce.
* CutenessProximity: Her first reaction to the axolotls in one of the garden ponds is to coo over them, calling them "sea rats".
* DefectorFromDecadence: In spite of being from rat nobility, El left "aristoracy" behind because she thought it wasn't right for her family to treat commoner rats poorly and leave them to go hungry.
* ForcedTransformation: Is temporarily turned into a cat after a potions mishap courtesy of Oli on Day 39. Thankfully, the transformation is reversible.
* HandwritingAsCharacterization: El is one of the few rats who can write for much of the series, and is the go-to scribe whenever the rats have to leave {{Forged Message}}s to the humans; it's suggested that her "passable for human" and implicitly good handwriting is a remnant of her noble upbringing.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: After a long day of wrangling [[WildCard Tubbo's]] shenanigans and the start of the feline invasion on the household on Day 10, El decides to "hit the Rattic Bar".
* NoodleIncident: On Day 15, while trying to convince Ponk that they have to leave the Mansion as soon as possible, El recounts sneaking into a big house when she was younger and finding a taxidermied badger mount on the wall there.
* PassThePopcorn: When Tubbo runs to [=1v2=] the cats of the Mansion, some of the other rats watch on from the table in the Lobby, with El asking if anyone has popcorn while watching with a spyglass.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: After her ForcedTransformation into a cat on Day 39, El starts gaining a craving for [[StockAnimalDiet milk]] and meowing in between reading.

'''Specialty:''' Safety\\
''"There's one thing Safety Man needed, and it was a knife."''
Jimmy is the Safety Rat. He started out in the Play Room with Krow and El. In spite of his designated role, he has a boisterous streak and dubiously violent tendencies.\\
\\
Jimmy has two lives left. He was killed by a massive cat clone on Day 47 [[spoiler:when Scott's revenge plan against the cats backfires]].
----
* DarkAndTroubledPast: As he states on Day 10, the reason Jimmy is the Safety Rat is apparently because he took a pledge after his old house burnt down with everyone in it.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:After attracting the attention of the Gardener, Jimmy runs off into a pond to escape, and leads on the Gardener enough for him to ''drown'' in the garden pond. Thankfully for the humans, the Gardener respawns.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: In spite of being designated as the "Safety Rat", Jimmy has a fairly reckless streak that lands him in trouble every so often, has gotten himself and many of the other rats caught by humans on numerous occasions, and is more than willing to try and ''stab'' humans with a knife. When El comments on his hi-vis safety vest at the very start of the series, Jimmy describes himself as "all about safety", and accidentally shoves her off the toy box they were on literally two seconds later.
-->'''Krow:''' That didn't seem very safe!
* LackOfEmpathy: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. On Day 29, when Apo is captured and imprisoned in the Janitor's Van, Jimmy questions if the rats even cared if the Janitor drove off with Apo, essentially questioning if they should even bother saving them. Only when ''just about everyone else'' responds with a resounding BluntYes and/or start protesting does he declare himself on board with the rescue mission as well.
* MetaphorIsMyMiddleName: He claims on Day 1 of the SMP that 'Safety' is his middle name.
* NoSocialSkills: While he's able to get along with most of the other rats, Jimmy can get quite tactless at times, especially when he's angry.
* NoodleIncident: Apparently, there's a course one has to take to run around with a knife, and another to take to hold scissors properly; Jimmy has alleged to have failed the latter due to a bad accident.
* PsychoKnifeNut: Jimmy is decidedly one of the more… ''unhinged'' rats, shall we say, and has been constantly running around with a knife since Day 1 and threatening humans every other day. [[spoiler:He also endorses Scott's RevengeBeforeReason plan against the cats when he first hears of it, though his opinion immediately shifts to opposition when it's clear it's not working as intended.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to his Twitter character bio, porridge.

----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: {{Justified|Trope}}; Martyn and Owen mention on Day 2 that Krow's red fur streaks were dyed using tomato paste, while Krow claims it's dyed from fox blood.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Loses its third and final life in the Jingle Jam Christmas event, in which death in any time period is equivalent to a death in the Mansion's present day, but is brought back to life through the other rats' asynchronous singing to "wish upon a star" and Oli's second life.]]
* ClosestThingWeGot: On Day 59, Krow is roped into brewing healing potions in an attempt to repair Phil and Kara's wings, as the only rat who has remotely ''any'' brewing experience after [[spoiler:Scott enlisted its help in his revenge plan that ultimately led to the Cat-astrophe.]]
* ADogNamedCat: A rat named 'Krow', specifically. This has caused [[WhosOnFirst some occasional confusion]] during Phil and Kara's guest appearance on Day 59; it also takes offense when Owen finds a quest-book from the Gardener titled "Stupid Crows".
-->'''Krow:''' Pay attention to ''the'' Krow. You guys may be crows, but I am always ''the'' Krow.
* EarNotch: Is vehemently anti-cat and the one time it tries to play nice with a cat, it loses a canon life to the cat and receives this. Martyn's "Secret Santa" makes a nod to this incident:
-->''I'm the S to the A to the N-T-A\\
I've got a fat rat tum and my whip is a sleigh\\
Because I'm tuggin' on the reindeer\\
Humans better steer clear\\
Or I'll be taking out the chunk like cats did to Krow's ear''
* ExtremeOmnivore: Surprisingly {{enforced|Trope}}. Krow mentions on Day 59 that its fleas say it had a phantom membrane at one point, i.e. what Phil and Kara are looking for, but later reports back that it ate it. In reality, Krow picked one up from killing hostile moths (phantoms in-game) earlier in the series, but due to GameplayAndStorySegregation, wasn't supposed to have it in the first place.
* TheIllegible: {{Implied|Trope}} on Day 9, where Krow says it can write, but its handwriting is too shaky for writing any {{Forged Message}}s; it's suggested this may be related to its small size in contrast with much larger quill pens.
* MysteriousPast: Krow states on Day 1 that it doesn't really remember its past; this causes it to stand out among all the rats for being among the few with essentially no backstory details from before arriving at the Mansion.
* RidiculouslySuccessfulFutureSelf: In the version of the future the rats travel to during the Jingle Jam Christmas event, Krow will eventually be the first rat to set foot on the Moon, which causes the rats to question whether the future is unchangeable and if that makes Krow immortal. As it turns out, [[spoiler:it doesn't, and while Krow is brought BackFromTheDead at the end of the event, WordOfGod eventually [[https://twitter.com/krowfangtv/status/1713986306185805948?s=20 jokes about]] it getting run over by a car and losing its last life permanently at some point in the future, making Krow's true fate questionable.]] [[invoked]]

Martyn has one life left. He sacrificed his first life so Oli could win his court case against Apo on Day 36; he lost his second life by being mauled by a cat while trying to save Oliver on Day 57, and was burnt to death in the chimney trying to save Philza and Kara on Day 59. However, he previously made a [[LeonineContract deal]] with a spirit during the Halloween event on Day 16, who gave him a fourth life.
----
* TheBartender: He runs the bar in the Attic and has given out his share of advice when it comes to inter-rodential relationships between the rats.

* DisproportionateRetribution: PlayedForLaughs on Day 3, where Martyn bans Owen from his then-future Rattic Bar for making a WhatsAHenway joke at him in the in-game chat earlier that day; he's left only half-barred later that day after helping to stock up the alcohol supply, quarter-barred at the start of Day 16 for recognizing a Halloween decoration as a cat instantly, and fully unbanned for turning up to the bar's opening after the Halloween event on Day 16.
* FrenchMaidOutfit: Spends part of his time on the server wearing blond twintails and one such outfit in his "[[Music/HatsuneMiku Ratsune Miku]]" persona.
* GoldDigger: Gets engaged to Water during her guest appearance in an attempt to get his paws on her royal termite fortune.
* HurricaneOfPuns: As befitting of an establishment run by the Pun Master, every menu item in the Rattic Bar is named after a rodent pun, including Smirnoff Mice, Tailquila, Mratyni, Cosratpolitail, Whiskery, Rat on the Beach, Long Island Mice Tea, Piña Tailada, Strawberry Ratuiri, and Shots of Taileys.
* LaserGuidedKarma: On Day 57, Martyn lures the Gardener into walking into the Lounge's fireplace, who complies due to ArtificialStupidity. He's caught ''by'' the Gardener and put in a cage shortly afterward.
* LeonineContract: When the spirit Owen traps in his carved pumpkin calls out to Martyn to free it, Martyn only agrees in exchange for an extra canon life to be "beyond" normal rats and a piece of glowstone to "shine" upon everyone else.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: {{Discussed|Trope}}; Martyn claims to have [[ExplosiveBreeder 500 children]] by the time the series takes place, though none of them are ever seen in the livestreams or episodes.[[note]]A later livestream has him claim that he only has two kids, which is likely a reflection of his content creator counterpart's family life.[[/note]] Given his background as a DimensionalTraveler, it's unlikely for this to be true.
%%* TheNeedless: According to [[invoked]]WordOfGod, being a DimensionalTraveler, Martyn "doesn't need nutrition or sleep as he's currently not flesh and bone", but tries to act like everyone else to blend in and maintain a human sense of self.
* PungeonMaster: Martyn's designated specialty is being the "Pun Master", and he engages in this behaviour every so often.
* RuggedScar: Martyn has scars on his right arm, but no one knows for sure how he got them. He [[MultipleChoicePast lies about their origin every time]], like fighting off a large cat six times his size or activating a MouseTrap with a full block of cheese.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: PlayedForLaughs on Day 59; when Phil questions how no one has been asked for ID in the Rattic Bar, Martyn replies they only do so when Jimmy the Safety Rat is around, and Bek, his bouncer, jokes about how the resident Lawyer is paid off to turn a blind eye.

'''Specialties:''' Rummaging through garbage, eating things he shouldn't eat, and monologuing about rat life\\
''"I came in just to cause problems."''
Oli is the Garbage Rat. He started out in the Lobby of the Mansion with Bek. Born in the sewers and raised in the trash, he had a rough life prior to his arrival there.\\
\\
Oli has one life left. He was first murdered in self-defense by El, then has his second life [[spoiler:stolen to revive Krow]] at the end of the Jingle Jam Christmas event on Day 60.
----
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Oli repeatedly smashes the Fourth Wall out of existence on Day 1, making references to the rats' character sheets on Twitter and content creation on channels.
* BrooklynRage: Oli, like garbages sister Shelby, is from New York and used to be a street-fighter. Garbage also casually threatens to ''kill'' any rat who tries to steal garbages memoirs to the Butler.
* CannotKeepASecret: In his lovesickness, Oli writes in his memoirs to the Butler on Day 19 about the rats' presence in the Mansion and how "they're not all good" for ''stealing'' said memoir, to everyone else's dismay.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Oli's [[ParentalAbandonment mother apparently "died long ago from rat diseases" and his father was apparently flushed down the toilet of a night club and drowned as a result]], causing him to turn to rummaging through garbage for survival. He also has an absurdly large number of dead family members; the only one who's confirmed to be alive is Shelby, his [[LongLostRelative long-lost sister]] whom he thought was dead.
* DirtyCoward: Apo's first life was lost because Oli [[PushedAtTheMonster pushed them to the clowder of cats ambushing them to save himself]]. This results in a CourtroomEpisode, where he's acquitted.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Oli, befitting of the Garbage Rummager, has been known to eat substances like apple seeds and glue. He ''is'' a rat, though, which are known for eating just about anything and everything.
* InterspeciesRomance: Oli has a crush on the human Butler of the Mansion, and wants to, in his words in the finale, "pork" him; when the other rats find out, they decide to let him have "this one" in part due to his DarkAndTroubledPast. However, this ''is'' PlayedForLaughs throughout the series as [[BrattyHalfPint the Son]] has been blamed for several of Oli's attempts to catch the Butler's attention. [[spoiler:It doesn't work out in the slightest.]]
* PoopingWhereYouShouldnt: Has a tendency to leave rats faeces (various Chisel and Bits bits in-game) all over the Mansion and the Attic, including on windowsills and tables, behind and under furniture, and in other rats' houses.
-->'''Oli:''' Wherever I go, I leave my mark.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to rats Twitter character bio, [[ExtremeOmnivore garbage]].
* VagueAge: He often says a different number whenever someone asks about his age, and he claims to have been on the Titanic during its sinking. He also claims that his mother was the model for the face of the Statue of Libraty/Ratue of Liberty, yet its real-life counterpart was designed and assembled in the 19th century.

''"Someone's been jailed! They need a lawyer!" (plays ''Series/LawAndOrder'' sound effect)''
Oliver is the Lawyer of the group. They used to live in the walls of a lawyer's office in New York until they decided to hop in a UPS box and shipped themself out to a random address in the countryside, i.e. the Mansion, and started out in a storage room with Will.\\
\\
Oliver has one life left. He was first killed by Martyn on Day 1 at Oli's request for telling Acho about the Attic's open window to the roof, and drowned while trying to access [[spoiler:the future DoomsdayDevice's satellite]] during the Jingle Jam Christmas event on Day 60.
----
* {{Bookworm}}: Other than law documents, living in an office means Oliver has read plenty of the books there in their time, including books on human civilization and how they're formed; they are also aware of concepts like the human education system and make a passing mention to the cat clones performing mitosis. However, their human knowledge isn't perfect either, as while they have heard of a xylophone as of Day 81, they assume it is a scientific instrument.
* ICallItVera: Names their letter opener knife "Justice".
* IngestingKnowledge: {{Discussed|Trope}} on Day 1. It's claimed that Oliver is smart and knowledgeable because whenever they eat a paper document, they absorb the information and knowledge printed on it.
* NonActionGuy: He's not great at fighting and running, in part due to his lawyerly background.
* NoodleIncident: They make references to several cases dealt with in the law office they were from, including one involving an escape room.
* ThePenIsMightier: Most of the other rats use {{Sewing Needle Sword}}s or safety pins; Oliver stands out by wielding a large pencil.
* APigNamedPorkchop: As they put it on Day 57, Babamari, their adopted Glow Squid child, is "like 'calamari' but baba".
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[DiscussedTrope Suggests]] running away from the Mansion during the Cat-astrophe on Day 47, saying it's not a safe environment for him to raise his adopted Glow Squid child with Sniff, Babamari.
* SecretKeeper: For most of the series, Oliver is the only one in the know that Will has stolen Oli's diary and read rats memoirs, in part due to Oli threatening to kill anyone who does so.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to their Twitter character bio, melatonin gummies and [[ExtremeOmnivore important time-sensitive documents]] in the law office they're from, though the paper holds no nutritional value.

->'''IGN:''' [=Owenge_Juice=]\\
'''Preferred name:''' Owen\\
'''Personal pronouns:''' He/Him\\
'''Specialty:''' Tinkering and engineering
Owen is the Tinkerer of the group. He started out in the piano in the Music Room with Martyn, having clambered in to try to fix it. He's incredibly passionate for his craft and embodies the analytical, curious scientist, but tends to act accordance to rules and order.\\
\\
Owen has two lives left. He died from the Wither effect after inhaling deadly fungal spores at the end of Day 39.
----
* AgentScully: He's skeptical of any claim unless he can see it with his own two eyes, including Tubbo's hunch about the cats' presence on Day 10 and Billzo's PunchedAcrossTheRoom ability on Day 62.
* AmbiguouslyRelated: Owen's mother alleges his father to have been a great inventor and scientist, which Owen later grows disinclined to believe due to a lack of evidence in writings and inventions. However, there ''is'' one rat who possibly fits the bill: [[spoiler:Rusty, the rat who pioneered {{dimensional travel|er}}, wrote a book on how to open portals to other realms (and indirectly helped Sneeg find his way back to the ''Origins'' worlds), and has since moved on to traverse the multiverse.]]
* BlackSheep: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Tubbo tries to frame Owen as this and as LesCollaborateurs for "the Ratsistance" for wanting to live in quiet hiding from the humans of the Mansion, as opposed to wanting to kill them or cause mass property damage. In reality, not even other members of "the Ratsistance" hold views as extreme as Tubbo's.
* CuriosityKilledTheCast: While destroying and removing patches of invasive fungus from the garden, Owen secretly ignores Scott's warnings of how deadly it is to investigate it for "science", first keeping one of the mushrooms in a containment chamber on Day 35, then after planting said mushroom in the Boiler Room to get rid of the moth infestation there later that day, ''going into the Boiler Room to investigate it further'' at the end of Day 39, albeit at his gear-chat's request[[note]](by an 87% poll victory)[[/note]]. By the time he's realized what a bad idea ''that'' is, it's too late. [[spoiler:His lore finale reveals this fiasco happened in the first place because he let his {{Pride}} get to him.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Was raised as the youngest in a massive single-parent household, who was separated from his family after the owner of the cottage they lived in the walls of called an exterminator on them.]]
* DelayedOhCrap: On Day 29, after insisting on how he told Bek's group in the Apo rescue mission [[spoiler:how ''not'' to overload a boiler to ensure it functions properly]], Martyn, Acho, and Scott are quick to point out Owen technically told them exactly what to do, and that Bek's group consists of some of the most volatile rats in the Attic, which can only end poorly.
-->'''Owen:''' ''({{Beat}})'' Oh no, they're gonna [[spoiler:blow up the boiler]], aren't they?\\
''(Everyone else affirms this)''
* DisappearedDad: The only things Owen really knows about his father are based on what his family told him, allegedly a great scientist himself, though he later assumes it must have been a MotivationalLie.
-->'''Owen:''' I was born to one of the greatest rat tinkerers that ever existed.\\
'''Krow:''' Go on.\\
'''Owen:''' I don't really remember his name.
* TheEngineer: Owen's specialties are listed to be tinkering and engineering, and has received several tools as presents throughout the series. His love for gadgets and machinery is {{exploited|Trope}} by Bek on Day 29; Bek's team in the rescue mission for Apo winds up utilizing Owen's knowledge on [[spoiler:how the boiler worked to sabotage it, causing its destruction.]]
* ExtremeOmnivore: He's practically on par with Oli, the literal Trash Rat, for having tasted the strangest items on a server of rats, and is willing to take a bite out of anything he can get his paws on. This includes a compass, a wither rose, oxidized copper, Scott's Christmas tree, and a ''Tide Pod''. {{Deconstructed|Trope}} in the latter case, as [[EnforcedTrope cc!Owen]] immediately gives his character the Poison status effect using commands for doing so. He also refuses to eat the invasive fungus with toxic spores, but moreso because he wants to investigate it ForScience.
* FictionalDisability: The only rat without a tail in the canon era, though the character bio artwork depicts him with one and it doesn't affect the gameplay out-of-universe. He has [[HidingTheHandicap denied this]] when asked about it.
* InSeriesNickname:
** "[[WebVideo/RatMovieMysteryOfTheMayanTreasure The Big Rat Who Makes All the Rules]]", for being one of the server admins out-of-universe and one of the tallest rats in-universe.
** Water refers to Owen as their "hero" for saving them from being trapped in a cage several times. Owen, not being a fan of bugs in general, doesn't like this.
* InexplicablyTailless: Owen stands out among the cast for being the only tailless rat in-game. It's implied that he lost it to a clock in the past, [[spoiler:and his lore finale all but confirms that it was in an accident while [[TooCleverByHalf attempting an ambitious tinkering project]].]]
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Owen has 461 older siblings.
* MysteriousCubeOfRubik: {{Implied|Trope}}; Owen picks up a Rubik's cube at some point off-screen, presumably from the toy store in New York on Day 60 (as he didn't livestream his perspective), and later mentions having spent a couple of days trying to solve it. Later on Day 62, he attempts to solve it ''while trapped in a cage'', waiting to be rescued, and proudly announces that he's solved it in the finale [[spoiler:[[SkewedPriorities while everyone's on the run]] from the Janitor after he invaded their home and figuring out how to survive the winter]].
* TheNotLoveInterest: To [[HeterosexualLifePartners Scott]]; they are affectionate and protective towards one another and even have a StargazingScene together, but the relationship is explicitly stated to be platonic.
* PsychologicalProjection: Upon being advised to carve a scarier design for his pumpkin to ward off the spirit [[HalloweenEpisode on Day 16]], Owen redesigns it to [[TraumaButton the scariest thing he can think of]] -- a clock. Martyn and Apo immediately interpret it as "ageing" and the passage of time, which Owen [[SureLetsGoWithThat goes along with]] whenever someone questions it (as he himself lives ''in'' a broken grandfather clock).
* RomanticWingman: Tries his best to give advice to Bek in her romantic pursuit of El.
* TheRuntAtTheEnd: Describes himself as such in his 3rd and 24th episodes for being the youngest of hundreds of siblings and thus not being the most nourished of the lot, though he mentions experiencing a growth spurt afterward[[note]](apparently at the age of 2 while being canonically 3)[[/note]]. It's this upbringing that has motivated him to [[TheSmartGuy think his way out of situations]] rather than brute-forcing things.
* TheSmartGuy: Being the resident scientist, Owen tends to be more knowledgeable and cautious than the other rats, though he has his moments of acting like a KnowNothingKnowItAll, and one instance of that [[CuriosityKilledTheCast got him killed]].
* TheSpock: He has a strong preference for logic and subtlety and grew up being on the cautious, rule-following side, and tends to be dismissive of intuition and struggles with emotions and tone at times; [[DownplayedTrope however]], there are several critical moments where [[NotSoAboveItAll his own emotions and pride cloud his better judgement]].
* SweetTooth: Has a large candy stash from the Halloween event on Day 16, hidden under his carpets so no other rats or spirits can find it.
* TooCleverByHalf: His FatalFlaw; he acknowledges that sometimes, his pride gets the better of him, including [[spoiler:losing his tail to an over-ambitious project involving a clock]] and his first canon death, which only happened because he thought he could think of a solution while not listening to the actual experts on related topics. [[spoiler:His insistence on fixing the FesteringFungus problem also almost kills him, as his homemade gas mask ends up being so stuffy that he almost suffocates in the smoke from the burning toxic fungus.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to his Twitter character bio, tangerines.
* TheUnfavourite: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Being the youngest of a giant litter and [[spoiler:not having realized his talents or any noteworthy traits yet]], he often felt overlooked and sidelined growing up, but it's clear that his mother was trying her best.

Raised in a large farming family, Scott fled his original home after the farm was sold and human construction work began there. In spite of this, he's happy to be in the Mansion after making many friends there.\\
\\
Scott has two lives left. He was killed by one of the cats on Day 43.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: {{Justified|Trope}}; as apparently he got caught in some flower dye pre-canon and part of his fur went cyan.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: One of the friendliest rats, who once blithely suggested to burn the Maid alive with a fire charge he found, and has threatened to turn any rat [[BerserkButton who messes with his crops or gardens]] into compost on more than one occasion.
* BookDumb: Being raised in the country means he doesn't quite learn to read until after settling in the Mansion, but he ''really'' knows his stuff when it comes to agriculture and invasive species which can affect it.
* CabinFever: Is notably more irritable when cooped up in the Mansion and unable to go out into the Garden, and it's suggested that not being able to have a hand in food production has contributed to his ChronicSelfDeprecation tendencies.
* CountryMouse: Scott's backstory; being raised in a farming family means he gets stressed easily indoors and is much more comfortable outdoors. He takes to learning about more 'urban' aspects like enchanting quickly.
* ItWasAGift: Scott refuses to throw in the Nether star Sneeg gives to him to try to open the portal for Sneeg to leave, and even [[spoiler:packs it up to take it with him before fleeing the Rattic in the finale]]; Sneeg himself cites that Scott sounds similar to and reminds him of "[[WebVideo/OriginsSMP a space man [he] once knew]]".
* TheNotLoveInterest: To [[HeterosexualLifePartners Owen]]; they are affectionate and protective towards one another and even have a StargazingScene together, but the relationship is explicitly stated to be platonic.
* PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars: Receives a nasty gash from losing his first canon life to a cat, immediately responds with a RevengeBeforeReason plan, and later mentions having "horror flashbacks" on Day 57 when Martyn dives down to save Oliver and dies distracting the cat.
* RevengeBeforeReason: After his first canon death, Scott [[PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars gains a large scratch scar on his right arm]] and is adamant on getting his revenge, even if the normally cat-hating Krow, Owen, and most of the rat population all try to dissuade him due to the danger; they even compare his behaviour to the [[WildCard typically-unhinged]] Tubbo. [[spoiler:The plan ultimately backfires; under his potion's effects, the two cats multiply in numbers, one of those cats gets killed by another cat, two more suddenly drop dead, and the rest shift in sizes -- either enlarging to half the height of a human or shrinking to the size of a termite. The resultant disaster, which Scott ultimately ''very much'' regrets, ultimately causes two canon deaths.]]
* SkewedPriorities: Upon realizing [[ViolentGlaswegian how thick of a Scottish accent the Janitor has]] [[spoiler:in the finale]], he cannot help but comment on it while everyone's running for their lives.
-->'''Scott:''' He's coming for my gig!
* StepfordSmiler: Accidentally shoot your best friend? Run off into self-isolation, beat yourself up about hurting another individual, and showcase [[ChronicSelfDeprecation horrifying levels of self-worth issues]] while falling into a depressive daze.
* TeamChef: Since Scott is the one in charge of the food supply as the resident Farmer, this eventually extends to cooking as well. [[spoiler:However, contrary to his belief, brewing potions is ''not'' like making soup, and when his potion-fuelled revenge plan goes outright catastrophic, Owen physically bars him from trying to brew an antidote which he doesn't know how to make anyway.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to his Twitter character bio, carrots and pumpkin pie.
* TranquilFury: Has been known to casually threaten various other rats for messing with his agricultural and later culinary domains with barely a change of tone in his voice.

Shelby has two lives left. She was killed by Scott for disrupting the rats' award show on Day 84.
----
* BrooklynRage: Shelby is from New York, her rat-house is constructed with the brick wall of the Attic exposed to remind her of home, and she speaks with a New York accent while in character. She has also broken into a Boiler Room filled with [[FesteringFungus deadly fungal spores]] (which have already claimed Owen's first life), ''survived'' the ordeal, and tried to murder a cat that was trying to kill her.
* CharacterWitness: Oli calls on Shelby to act as this for him in his trial.
* CityMouse: Subverted; while Shelby is from New York City, she takes to life in the rural Mansion quickly and proves herself to be quite hardy.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: While making a statement on Oli's behalf during [[CourtroomEpisode his trial]], Shelby defends that he could not have been guilty of [[DirtyCoward pushing Apo to cats to save himself]], but repeatedly comments on his lack of hygiene and manners in the process… which is just as much as you can expect from a pair of siblings.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to her Twitter character bio, garlic bread. While living in New York, she used to sneak into various humans' studio apartments to eat their garlic bread.

* FaintInShock: Tubbo apparently faints and drops whenever he hears a bell. Out-of-universe, it's because his game crashes whenever it happens.
* InSeriesNickname: He's often referred to as "Tub-rat".
* NoPartyLikeADonnerParty: Tubbo is first found locked in a cupboard with Shelby, allegedly for three years as their food supply ran out in the first ten days. This, alongside the lack of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood sugar]], has apparently caused him to turn a nest of ratlings on the lower shelf into "rat burgers" for survival; but Shelby has no recollection of this. This also causes him to [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies trick Bek into engaging in cannibalism without her foreknowledge]], to just about ''everyone else's'' disgust.
* LaResistance: Tubbo declares himself the leader and representative of "the Ratsistance" (or "the Ratbellion") against Owen, whom he assumes is "the big rat that makes all the rules" in-universe, and whom he calls "an evil dictator" for not wanting to bring harm to the humans and the cats in the face of extermination. When he gets the memo that Owen is not, in fact, in charge of the rats in-universe, Tubbo runs off to form a government to fill the power vacuum.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to his Twitter character bio, [[SweetTooth sugar]]. Not sweets, ''sugar''.
* TunnelNetwork: Has constructed one in the Rattic, which he uses to get around all the bases within; as he says, he "lives with everyone".
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Tubbo is quick to infer and connect the dots that the humans introduced cats to the Mansion on Day 10 in an attempt to exterminate the rat population, but his attempts at protecting the rats -- by trying to ''kill'' the humans and the cats -- are seen as overzealous at best.
* WildCard: Tubbo is ''extremely'' prone to starting conflicts for no reason and is, in essence, a menace to rat society. The first thing he does on the server is try to start an uprising, and it goes to the point Apo strongly suspects that he might have "ratbies" (rat rabies).

* BewareTheNiceOnes: One of the sweetest rats in the Rattic, who… [[spoiler:comes up with the plan to blow up the Boiler Room? Then helps to go through with it, and comes up with the idea to [[FrameUp frame the Janitor for it]]? ''Without'' any alcoholic influence, as El otherwise alludes to?]] They also threaten Kyle with a sword in private on Day 42 over him and Nuke calling the rats stupid.
* ChekhovsGun: Finding about a dozen potions in the Drawing Room bar on Day 2, Will ultimately trades two of the Potions of Weakness they obtained and stashed away to Tommy for a red bottle cap, which Martyn then modifies into a cute hat.
* ChildLikeVoice: Has a voice high-pitched enough to be mistaken for a child, but is actually an adult.
* {{Claustrophobia}}: Is sent into distressed spiralling nearly every time they're trapped in a cage, and once describes the cages to be "too small". Talking to anyone who may be stuck in the cage with them helps as a distraction.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Has been convinced since Day 37 that Scott is secretly a witch for his allegedly strange movements and SupremeChef skills, and later his passing knowledge of enchantments and building skills… [[spoiler:and cue the potion mishap known as the Cat-astrophe]]; he later manages to convince Acho and to a lesser extent, Oliver of this, but seems to drop it after adventuring with Scott and Bek at the start of Day 51.

That being said, beyond the "adorable, small, clueless" descriptor, they [[BewareTheNiceOnes do have a spine and a vengeful streak]], as well as some StepfordSmiler tendencies.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: {{Implied|Trope}}. Will has mentioned [[spoiler:being separated from and "left behind" by his biological family for not being able to keep up with them]] in an unknown context, and has made the occasional comment suggesting he has lingering issues with this. Despite this, he sends them a MessageInABottle on Day 81 to let them know he's okay.

* ForcedTransformation: Is temporarily turned into a cat after a potions mishap courtesy of Oli on Day 39. Thankfully, the transformation is reversible.
* HeightAngst: Has his moments, being one of the shortest rats and thus not exactly the fastest… which is ''not great'' for running from humans.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: PlayedForHorror; after their ForcedTransformation into a cat on Day 39, Will starts gaining more cat-like traits, including being more combative and having a distinctively feline appetite preference, to the point of having to visibly resist eating their own close rat friends… and mentions on Day 57 that they still have occasional intrusive thoughts about [[ImAHumanitarian the latter]] despite being returned to their original form and ''being vegetarian''.

[[spoiler:When Scott finds they have this in their possession at the end of Day 47, he has it burnt to make sure the fungus has no chance of spreading, even if none of the rats Will has interacted with since have died from toxic spore inhalation ''because of'' interacting with them. [[PlayedForDrama This ends up causing quite a lot of conflict even after the Cat-astrophe]] due to Will's general refusal to ''give up'' the mushroom since it hasn't caused anyone harm so far; Scott ends up giving them a Chisel and Bits replica of the fungus as a gift to make up for it later on.]]
