* HappyHarlequinHat: Hex' crown is a stylized, more regal version of this, in keeping with her MonsterClown aesthetic


Added DiffLines:

* MonsterClown: Downplayed in that she's pure chaos rather than pure evil, but her WhiteMaskOfDoom (with red lips and exaggerated eyes), MadArtist and CloudCuckoolander tendencies give off this vibe.


Added DiffLines:

* SecondaryColorNemesis: Though Daemon's design heavily features [[HeavenlyBlue teal]], her more prominent green and purple aesthetic makes her palette overall [[LightIsNotGood cold and ominous]].

* MaskOfSanity: Inverted. Hexadecimal really ''is'' crazy, but she can also be lucid and businesslike when she wants to be. In "The Medusa Bug", she cleverly tricks Megabyte into stealing the title artifact so he'll destroy himself. In "Infected", she demands control of half of Mainframe once Megabyte takes over, and makes it clear she'll be paying close attention to what Megabyte is doing.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: He never took the presence of Megabyte too seriously, until Megabyte finally took over Mainframe, exiled Bob into the Web, and pushed Enzo into despair until he was trapped in the games. When Enzo came back much older and much more serious, killing Megabyte was all he could think of. In the episode "Number 7," he ended up in a simulation of Mainframe, where he rebooted in Megabyte's body and easily played the part unconsciously. That same episode also shows that Matrix suffers from a ''lot'' of self-loathing over what he's become and fears he's truly become a monster like Megabyte.

[[folder:The User]]
The User is the owner of the computer that is Mainframe. He is HeWhoMustNotBeSeen because he's a human living in the ''real'' world, but he still plays a major role in the series, acting as an antagonist during the games. He is viewed by most of the inhabitants of Mainframe as some sort of god. Capable of both great evils (such as the sector-nullifying games) and goods (new files). The User is generally seen in game cubes under the guise of a PlayerCharacter which the inhabitants of Mainframe have to stop from winning.

* HatesBeingTouched: It's subtle, but close observation shows that Matrix tends to either flinch away from people trying to touch him or outright push them away - sometimes quite violently. He has at least once responded to sudden, unexpected physical contact by pulling his gun. In fact, it seems like Matrix doesn't even like people standing close to him in general, to the point of outright nudging a binome backwards with his boot when he got too close. The only regular excpetion to this seems to be his girlfriend [=AndrAIa=], with whom he is physically affectionate with.
