History Characters / SandersSides

* {{Megane}}: One of his notable characteristics in the animatic art form are his glasses, which make him look sweet and intelligent.

* MismatchedEyes: Of the RedRightHand variety. The snakey half of his face includes a lime green eye with a slit pupil. The other eye is human and brown.

* UnseenNoMore: Joan has frequently been mentioned by Thomas, but so far they have only appeared onscreen one single time at the beginning of "Why Do We Get Out of Bed in the Morning". They have been frequently impersonated, though, usually by Roman through shapeshifting.

'''Janus:''' You're right, we wouldn't want to plant too many trees. Just think of all the CO2 that might be absorbed.

* DualityMotif: Deceit has one half of his face of a regular human shape and the other one as a snake, to reinforce the idea of the inherent duality of lies, attractive and sweet on the surface but dangerous and potentially poisonous on the inside.

* OutrightLie: This is pretty much Deceit’s main language. He also temporarily puts Thomas into a panic by claiming he was Patton all along, though none of the other Sides are fooled.

* NotSoDifferent: With Virgil. Logan even told Virgil that he feels so, since in his opinion Patton and Roman "bring in a lot of sunshine."

* EvilMeScaresMe: After "Dealing with Intrusive Thoughts", he tries as hard as he can not to be like Remus, as he noticed they were becoming NotSoDifferent, with both of them giving [[TheNicknamer mocking nicknames to the others (especially Logan and Virgil)]], loving wordplay and big musical numbers, general mean behaviour, and Roman sometimes saying very Remus-like stuff (like the "naked Aunt Patty" visualisation he gave Thomas).

* NotSoDifferent: Downplayed with Virgil. They're both NotEvilJustMisunderstood, cynical, [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]], and both act as Thomas self-preservation. They even occasionally engage in the other's preferred view about honesty, such as Virgil trying to hide that his anxiety worsening in Patton's room or his status as a former Dark Side, and Janus [[BrutalHonesty denouncing very brutally]] Thomas' selfishness and Roman being a jerk after he revealed his name to them. However, see Janus' {{Foil}} entry.

* AttentionWhore: From his random, disturbing comments, to his apparel, to his habit of screaming and singing at the drop of a hat, everything about Remus just screams "PAY ATTENTION TO ME." ([[NotSoDifferent Hm, kinda sounds like a certain prince, doesn't it]]?) Just like a schoolyard bully, once Thomas stops giving him the reaction he's after, Remus quickly gets frustrated and leaves.

* ShadowArchetype: All the Dark Sides as a group are this for Thomas, but Remus is a literal shadow archetype for Roman. If Roman wears white and red, Remus wears black and green, the opposite colors. If Roman is chivalrous and noble in a fight, Remus is sneaky and treacherous, attacking from behind. If Roman is a romantic, Remus is a pervert. If Roman is dreams and fantasy, Remus is intrusive thoughts. Roman summarized it all in one phrase when Thomas inquired about him:

* ItsAllAboutMe: If we know anything about Roman, it's that he's got a bit of an ego. Which makes sense, given that he ''[[ShapedLikeItself is]]'' Thomas' ego.

* LatinLover: Downplayed. He has a Latin name (and drifts slightly into a Hispanic accent when introducing himself) and Thomas finds him very attractive, but he's not overwhelmingly suave or flirtatious.

* BerserkButton: The thing Logan fears most is not being taken seriously. If someone makes fun of him or tries to put him as the butt of the joke, Logan will react violently against them in an explosion of wrath, even if he'll quickly regret it afterward.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: No-one likes him. Even ''Remus'', a fellow Dark Side, calls him a "snake".[[note]] Though given this is '''[[NightmareFetishist Remus]]''', it’s possible he meant it as a compliment.[[/note]] As of "Putting Others First," Thomas and Patton have tentatively extended him some trust, but it remains to be seen how it will work out.

* MoralityPet: To Thomas and the main Sides. Roman's ego, Logan's coldness, and Virgil's sarcasm will all curb themselves for the sake of not hurting Patton's feelings. Even before befriending the others, Virgil admitted to genuinely care about him. And even Janus, who was very critical of his behavior and antagonistic of him to the point of making him go over the edge in ''SvS Redux'', eventually showed to care about Patton's feelings too, toning down a harsh remark he made when he realized that Patton was taking it personally and self-deprecating over it. Only Remus averts this as he doesn't care about Patton's feelings, although it is to be taken in mind that Remus doesn't care about anything or anyone at all as he says anything to anyone whenever he wants with no filter.

* MoralityPet: To Thomas and the main Sides. Roman's ego, Logan's coldness, and Virgil's sarcasm will all curb themselves for the sake of not hurting Patton's feelings. Even before befriending the others, Virgil admitted to genuinely care about him. Averted with the Dark Sides, who don't care at all about his feelings.

* InTheHood: Even though the hood of his jacket is normally kept down, he does put it up when he's heightened. Specifically, when he hears Logan's part of the "Aggressive Bouts of Beat Poetry", when he starts having a panic attack in Patton's room, when Logan and Roman make him cringe over the "Rain Forest Rap", and when Deceit makes him go through the roof with his remarks during the court scene.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Each Side is a literal embodiment of one facet of Thomas' personality.
