* SadClown: For all of his goofiness, Fred frequently alludes to experiencing feelings of emptiness, which he attempts to fill with obsessive fixations on solving mysteries and building traps. When these feelings come to the forefront they are decidedly ''not'' played for laughs.

* BookDumb: While Daphne generally comes off as quite clever, being capable of keeping up with [[TheSmartGuy Velma]] and [[DitzyGenius Fred's]] logic fairly easily and even putting together the clues to find the culprit on her own on a few occasions, her grasp on the English language is substantially lower than it probably should be; falling victim to {{Malapropism}} and {{Metaphorgotten}} with alarming frequency. This is justified to a degree, as she frequently cuts class to solve mysteries.

!The Gang

[[folder:As a whole]]
* AmateurSleuth: It's ''Scooby-Doo''. Par for the course.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: In "The Horrible Herd," the gang hatches a plan to dispose of the titular herd by luring them into the ocean. The plan succeeds, but the gang forgot that [[BigBad Professor Pericles]] used piranha DNA in the herd's creation, and thus, the creatures can ''swim''. The episode ends with the gang [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone dreading the]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero long-term consequences]].
* HeroWithBadPublicity: During the first season, most of the adults don't appreciate the gang busting the various crooks in town, as the various [[ScoobyDooHoax Scooby-Doo Hoaxes]] are a big part of the tourist industry. This changes after they expose Mayor Fred Jones, Sr. as the Freak of Crystal Cove.
* KidHero: They're all still in high school.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: What enables them to destroy the Nibiru Entity in the GrandFinale.
* TookALevelInBadass: All the characters are much smarter and braver than in the franchise's previous incarnations, and they even fight back on occasion.

* ADayInTheLimelight: He doesn't do nearly as much in this series as he has in the past, so he gets several episodes that focus almost solely on him to make up for it.
* AntiAntichrist: It was stated by several characters that, since [[HistoryRepeats previous mystery-solving groups]] that appeared in Crystal Cove were betrayed by the TeamPet thanks to the Nibiru Entity's influence, Scooby would inevitably be corrupted as well. Instead, Scooby's the one who ''destroys'' the Entity.
* {{Badass}}:
** AdaptationalBadass: This is probably the bravest and most active incarnation of the character, and when he steps up, nothing can stop him.
** CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
** TookALevelInBadass: Like Shaggy, he steps up and takes action more often.
*** He's also the one to deliver the killing blow to the Nibiru Entity by hurling the Heart of the Jaguar in its weak spot with ''a single karate kick''!
* BerserkButton: Mess with the gang, and he won't hesitate to bring you down. Case in point: in the third-to-last episode of the show, when Shaggy is being held at gunpoint by Pericles' MechaMooks, Scooby lets out a BigNo, jumps on Shaggy's shoulders, and unloads on them with machine guns.
-->'''Scooby''': You mess with my Shaggy, you mess with ''me''!
** Professor Pericles is this in general (especially after Pericles taunts him in the 1st season finale).
* BigDamnHeroes: In episode 10.
** Also in the series finale. Shaggy throws him the heart of the jaguar, and he freakin' ''kicks it in midair'' and hits the Nibiru Entity clear in its only weak spot, thus destroying it for good.
* BigEater: In episode 23, Scooby says his stomach needs a stomach.
* BigFriendlyDog
* TheBigGuy
* BrainBleach: In episode 8 after witnessing the "secret pirate".
--> '''Scooby:''' My brain needs a shower.
* ButtMonkey: More than Shaggy in this series.
* CatchPhrase: "Scooby Dooby Doo!", as usual
** And taken into a Badass extreme when he uses it to punctuate his quest to bring the gang back together to stop Pericles.
** Also to declare that Pericles will regret the day he messed with him and the Gang.
* ClearMyName: Went through this in episode 10.
* CompanionCube: Scooby uses Shaggy's old ventriloquist dummy to replace Shaggy as a best friend. It's no longer seen at the end of episode 7.
* CowardlyLion
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Where Walks Aphrodite", if only for the first two acts.
** Don't forget him taking charge in "Mystery Solvers Club States Finals"!
** And he does a little more in the later episodes that draw the series to a close.
* DeadpanSnarker: Surprisingly.
-->'''Shaggy:''' I can sure go for a big stack covered with clams and syrup at the Clam Cabin. Right, Scoob?
-->'''Scooby-Doo:''' Choke on it.
* {{Determinator}}: If his ending phrase to Pericles isn't this, then what is? He's promising to the bird that he'll get the gang back together to stop him.
* [[WomanScorned Dog Scorned]]: Scooby becomes extremely jealous of Shaggy's relationship with Velma and does everything he can to break them up.
* [[FourTemperamentEnsemble Five Temperament Ensemble]]: The Leukine.
* FriendVersusLover: Scooby [[JerkassBall tries his hardest to drive a wedge between]] Shaggy and Velma and succeeds, as she gets fed up with the fact that Shaggy seems more interested in hanging with Scooby that dating her.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Shaggy. When he discovers Shaggy's relationship with Velma, Scooby outright accuses Shaggy of cheating on him.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: In episode 5, when Scooby and Shaggy are moments away from impending doom at the hands of spookified children.
-->'''Scooby:''' Goodbye Shaggy. You were a dog's best friend.
* JerkassBall: During the height of the "love triangle" between him, Shaggy, and Velma, Scooby was doing everything he could to break the latter two up.
* LetsGetDangerous: Scooby is the same LovableCoward he always was, but if you're trying to kill his friends, he will ''[[ForkliftFu murder you with a forklift]]''.
** The Nibiru Entity also finds it out the hard way when Scooby sends an ancient spear right into the Entity's SoulJar, ''erasing him from existence!''
* NonHumanSidekick: To Shaggy.
* OutOfFocus: More focus so far has been going into pulling out the human cast from their "traditional" characterizations, so Scooby is not in the [[SpotlightStealingSquad spotlight]] as much. He is given several spotlight episodes to rectify this, but sticks to the background in all other ones.
* PluckyComicRelief: The show's darker tone contrasts with his character heavily, meaning he tends to stay out of the plot and stick to screwing around instead.
* PreMortemOneLiner: In episode 10. "PLAY DEAD!" Granted, he said it to a robot, but still, Scoob was all business as he delivered the final blow.
* SpeechImpairedAnimal: Your TropeCodifier at work. Arguably upgraded to TalkingAnimal, as he is far more articulate and intelligent than any prior version of the character, tends to speak in much longer sentences, and no longer begins each word with an "R" sound.
** In Episode 20, Velma reminds him that he's next to impossible to understand on the phone.
* SkywardScream: In episode 8.
--> '''Scooby:''' Where's my Raggy!?
* StealthInsult:
** "Freddie. You're a special boy."
** After forgiving Shaggy, Scooby tells him "You're the only dummy for me."
** At the end of episode eighteen:
---> '''Barty Blake:''' Fred Jones, you buffoon!!
---> '''Scooby:''' [[MythologyGag Yeah. Buffoon.]]
* TeamPet
* UnwittingPawn: Episode 16 has him get hoodwinked into helping Professor Pericles steal a treasure so he can stop a lesser deluded maniac.
* WeirdnessCoupon: In the few scenes in which we actually see the gang at school, Scooby seems to attend Crystal Cove High right alongside Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, Velma, Brenda, Cheryl, Dylan, Ethan, Gary and Hot Dog Water. This [[{{Understatement}} probably has something to do with the fact that he's a talking dog]].
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Shaggy sees Scooby as not just a dog, but his best friend. Which leads to [[FriendVersusLover problems]]...

* AdaptationalBadass: Shaggy is quite a bit more competent and level-headed in this adaptation.
* AdaptationalComicRelief: Actually inverted. While he still engages in slapstick with Scooby from time to time, his cartoonier characteristics are downplayed.
* AskAStupidQuestion: Shaggy does this all the time, though he did provide the sarcastic answer once:
--> '''Velma:''' What kind of Man Crab needs to use stairs to get under the volleyball tournament?\\
'''Shaggy:''' One that's industrious and has a degree in engineering?
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* BigEater: As usual.
* BoundAndGagged: "The Grasp of the Gnome".
* BreakTheCutie: Shaggy was shaved bald when he got to military camp, and it became the butt of jokes.
** The bad part for him wasn't necessarily the abuse, but being separated from his pal Scooby.
* CatchPhrase: "Zoinks!"
* CowardlyLion: As per usual.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's more consistently on the ball than in previous shows.
* DisguisedInDrag: Velma points out that Fruitmeyer's is currently hiring female servers, which gives the gang an opportunity to put people on the inside and investigate the place. Cut immediately to Shaggy and Scooby ''poorly'' disguised as women in Fruitmeyer's uniforms. When Shaggy questions ''why'' he and Scooby are dressed as girls when the gang already ''has'' two girls in it, [[NotEvenBotheringWithAnExcuse Daphne gives a very good reason - she and Velma refused.]]
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Norville.
* EruditeStoner: G-rated version.
* [[FourTemperamentEnsemble Five Temperament Ensemble]]: The Sanguine.
* FriendVersusLover: Caught between Scooby and Velma, mainly because he used the idea that Scooby wouldn't approve to avoid letting the others know they were dating. Shaggy tried to take Velma to the prom without telling Scooby first, leaving Scooby behind. Eventually, he caught them alone, accusing Shaggy of "cheating on him". It went downhill from there. In episode 10, he chooses Scooby. Velma, of course, is pissed.
** Shaggy tries to get back with Velma, and she seems to reciprocate before eventually telling him she no longer feels that way about him.
* TheHeart: He's actually the most emotionally grounded member of the group in this adaptation.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Scooby. And boy, did the decision break Velma's heart.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Severely averted in episode 5 by the tight pants Velma bought for Shaggy and insists he wears. He could barely walk in them, let alone look good in them. He goes back to his oversized pants at the end.
-->'''Shaggy:''' Shaggy likes it baggy!
* TheLancer: While Fred is a courageous but socially inept and frequently inadvertently insensitive, Shaggy is cowardly but reasonable and understanding. Notably, Shaggy begins the series in a committed relationship while Fred is ObliviousToLove.
* LetsGetDangerous: In "Heart of Evil" when Scooby Doo is kidnapped, Shaggy threatens Ricky Owens for information, and demands to be the one in charge of leading the rescue mission, and shows competence in hand to hand combat during said mission, which he claims are the result of his stay in military school where he TookALevelInBadass.
* LikeIsLikeAComma:
** Episode 5 lampshades this with Velma making him or someone else pinch him with a wristband every time he does it.
** Creator/HarlanEllison chews him out for it in episode 12.
--->'''Ellison:''' What if "like", like, were used, like, in its proper grammatical form and not, like, a conversational pause, like every third, like word?
* LookADistraction: Pulls this on Scooby and Velma in episode 9 when they have him cornered with a FriendVersusLover shake-down.
* LovableCoward
* NiceGuy: He's the only member of the gang who never puts his own interests above the rest of the group, and acts as a confidant to every member of the team at one point or another.
* OnlySaneMan: Bizarrely assumes this role frequently in the group's dynamic, being the least prone to getting caught up in interpersonal conflicts.
* PluckyComicRelief: Significantly more downplayed in comparison to previous versions of the show, as he now gets more focus as [[OnlySaneMan the most emotionally grounded member of the team]] and [[WillTheyOrWontThey a potential love interest for Velma]]. This reaches a point where ''Fred'' tends to get more jokes than he does.
* RaisedByWolves: If his parents' attitude toward him is any indication, he was probably raised more by Scooby than his parents.
* TookALevelInBadass: His military training may have been brutal on him, but it made him an effective field leader and skilled at hand to hand combat.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlcsnap-2011-05-18-11h47m36s34_1651.jpg]]

* ActionGirl: While she's still [[TheSmartGuy the smart one]], she's a lot more [[BuffySpeak actiony]] than previous incarnations.
* AgentScully: Velma is usually the one to say that there's a rational explanation for things, but that might begin to change. See OOCIsSeriousBusiness.
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Proclaims "Oy Gevalt!" after listening to her mother's old romances.
* AllWomenAreLustful: She's much more forceful than Shaggy is in their relationship, and all but outright states that she wants their relationship to go to the next level.
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Drops the occasional "oy gevalt", but otherwise it never comes up.
* BerserkButton: Don't tell her you don't want to go to prom with her. Or choose your best friend/dog over her.
* BlindWithoutEm
* BoundAndGagged: "The Wild Brood".
* BrainyBrunette
* BreakTheCutie: Episode 26 was probably the start of a ''long'' road of pain that Velma's gonna have to endure for her actions. See below as to why.
* CatchPhrase: "Jinkies!"
* ClingyJealousGirl: To Shaggy.
** When Scooby is incarcerated, she pretends to be him by wolfing down Shaggy's fries, licking her lips and saying Scooby's catch phrase.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Even shorter than the original incarnation. Which is made worse by the fact that she's also a lot more [[ActionGirl active]] than her previous incarnation.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like you would not ''believe''. Her snarkiness is so innate it allows the generally-clueless Fred to see right through her Rorschach disguise in the Season two premiere.
-->'''Fred''': Wry sense of humor, tinged with a whiff of disdain and superiority.
* FanservicePack: A pretty massive one compared to previous incarnations. While she was usually awkward, and a little [[HollywoodPudgy Hollywood Pudgy]], here, she's a [[OnlySaneMan comparatively sane]] [[DeadpanSnarker snarker]] [[ActionGirl action girl]] [[DangerouslyShortSkirt with a comedically short skirt]].
* [[FourTemperamentEnsemble Five Temperament Ensemble]] The Phlegmatic.
* FriendVersusLover: With Shaggy vs. Scooby, and Velma suffered the ignominy of losing her romantic interest to ''his dog''.
** Late in season 1, Shaggy comes back around to showing romantic interest in Velma. She seems to reciprocate at first, then tells him she no longer feels that way and hopes they can still be friends. The following episode, she says she "sent him back to his dog," implying that she may very well still feel romantic feelings for Shaggy, but is afraid she'll give into them, only to be dumped for Scooby a second time.
* HairDecorations: Velma now has small side hairbows.
* HollywoodNerd
* IWishItWereReal: In episode 20, she became friends with a mermaid. Or rather it was a professional swimmer disguised as a mermaid. She then quips that she wished that the supernatural stuff was real.
* JerkassBall: In the first half of the first season, she gets better in the second half.
* MagicSkirt: Usually, but averted in episode 4 - Velma has to hold her skirt down, denying a PantyShot, after she gets catapulted into the air by the Man Crab.
* {{Meganekko}}: It helps that this version is quite different than past ones. In past incarnations, Velma was a kinda pudgy, HollywoodUgly stereotypical nerd. ''This'' Velma, however, is quite svelte, while keeping the bust & butt, much cuter, and apparently has a libido to match Shaggy's appetite.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: You know that whole thing about keeping Angel's identity a secret? Well, remember your line of 'I guess we're not a team anymore' in episode 11? Well, you ''definitely'' called it, kiddo!
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When VELMA, who is usually the one saying there's a rational explanation the the stuff going on around town, admits that SHE'S starting to think the curse of Crystal Cove is real, you KNOW things are bad!
** It comes to a near boil in episode 48 when Velma bursts into tears after she feels that logic and fact have deserted her.
* PantyShot: Episode 33.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Well, holding onto the identity of a former Mystery Inc. member wasn't the brightest idea you had. Many of your friends are pretty much pissed off at you now!
* SecretKeeper: Kept Angel/Cassidy's real identity secret, and got everyone hating her for it.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Seen in episode 17; when she, Scooby and Shaggy are in a trap, it states that only the smartest of the group could get out. Velma assumes it's her... until we see that the one who created the trap isn't seeing 'Cassidy' as the smartest; it's 'Pericles'! (Scooby). Velma tries to hide the fact that she made an error once they're free.
* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]
* TeenGenius: Of course.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Daphne's Girly Girl.
* {{Tsundere}}: Very much. One scene has a quick glimpse of her as a borderline {{Yandere}}.
* WhatTheHellHero: Chewed out by Daphne after Fred is going to leave to find his parents and breaks up Mystery Inc. because of her hiding the fact that she knew who Angel was all along.
** The others chastise her in episode 33 for automatically suspecting the phantom that spoiled a movie party at a graveyard the night before was the graveyard groundskeeper, saying it was "villain profiling" and against team standards.
* WomanScorned: When Shaggy tries backing out of going to the prom, Velma gets so mad that she kicks down, not one, but two tombstones.
* WorkingWithTheEx: After she and Shaggy break up, she's noticeably antagonistic for a while, but it goes away, and by season two, they are friends again, and WordOfGod is that she's [[https://twitter.com/kooltoecee/status/296271755515932672 gotten over him.]] When the gang find Shaggy and Daphne making out because of a trance, she doesn't bat an eyelash, while Fred and Scooby freak out.
* WrenchWench: She's seen fixing the Orcs' motorcycles in "The Wild Brood".
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: You know Velma's really pissed at Shaggy when, in episode 11, she calls him by his proper name.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlcsnap-2011-05-18-11h47m28s219_1071.jpg]]

* AdaptationalBadass: His traps more or less failed OncePerEpisode in previous incarnations. His traps in this series, however, are ''far'' more effective and have a greater success ratio, without losing their complexity.
* AdaptationalComicRelief: One of the greatest examples of this benefiting a character. While Fred is now perhaps an even greater source of comic relief than Shaggy or Scooby in this adaptation, he is also given a surprisingly complex character along with it, something that he has never possessed in any previous incarnation of the show.
* {{Asexuality}}: While Fred is capable, after a considerable amount of time, of becoming romantically attracted to Daphne, he is the only member of the Gang who doesn't show any physical interest in the opposite sex, preferring to focus on his traps instead. This actually seems to have been enforced by his father, who convinced him from a young age that men are incapable of feeling real emotion.
* {{Badass}}: In addition to all the traps and crazy plans he makes, Fred has the most physical prowess of the gang and has occasionally used that to his advantage, like when he punched out Crybaby clown and in the Man in the Mirror where he fought his biological dad.
** BadassDriver: Some of the moves Fred pulls of in the Mystery Machine are pretty impractical, but you don't question them because they're that {{Badass}}.
* BreakTheCutie: Mostly of this happens in the season one's finale.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: For all of his quirks, Fred is ''very'' competent at catching criminals. Whereas the rest of the gang all have some semblance of lives outside of solving mysteries, Fred has devoted himself to it, and it shows.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Does to this to Mayor Jones in the last episode, pointing out that he ruined the lives of the original Mystery Inc., framed Professor Pericles for a crime he didn't actually commit, stole Fred from his birth parents, lied to him for his ''entire life'', and pretty much manipulated everything all for a treasure that might not even exist.
** And he does it again to his ''real'' parents, Brad and Judy Chiles, for trying to steal the gang's pieces of the Planispheric Disc and declares to them that he will not return to their home.
* ChasteHero: Made ever-so-evident in episode 17 after Fred pulls Daphne from Danny Darrow's swimming pool trap. She needs artificial respiration and is expecting mouth-to-mouth. He presses on her stomach instead.
** Later becomes a CelibateHero when in episode 24 the two kiss and are going to be engaged, but after Fred go away to find his real parents.
** Season 2 has him drop this trope also trying to reconcile with Daphne.
* CharacterDevelopment: The most out of the gang. Fred goes from a naive man child who pursues mysteries out of obsession to a caring leader who solves mysteries to help the innocent.
* CharacterExaggeration: Fred used to always build the traps. This Fred is trap obsessed! He has gone on record saying "For trap's sake", meaning his obsession is either religious, sexual, or, god willing, both.
* ChickMagnet: Downplayed. Several attractive women flirt with him, but his obliviousness puts an end to it pretty quickly. Daphne is also hopelessly in love with him.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Let's just get it out there: Fred's nuts.
-->'''Daphne (hair being chewed on by animated, mounted moose head)''': Ah!! Freddy!
-->'''Fred (whacks moose head with snow shoe)''': Knock it off, ''Tyler''!
-->'''Daphne''': Fred, you know that moose?!
-->'''Fred''': I spend a lot of time alone. He's a good listener!
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Fred's almost [[CargoShip fetishistic]] obsession with traps extends to his decor. He has an ''open BearTrap'' sitting on the floor of his bedroom.
* ComplexityAddiction: Fred's traps are frequently more complicated than they probably need to be.
* CrazyJealousGuy: Ironically, after he realizes how much Daphne means to him, turns into this when Daphne doesn't want him anymore.
* CrazyPrepared: He has made insane customizations to the Mystery Machine, and has even booby-trapped all of his friends' houses in case a monster strikes.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Fred may be naive when it comes to relationships and other people skills, but he exhibits great cunning when it comes to traps and considerable intelligence while pulling off a complicated XanatosGambit in "Wrath of the Krampus".
* DumbBlonde: Downplayed. See {{Cloudcuckoolander}} and DitzyGenius.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud:
** Fred yells this during his HeroicBSOD in episode 4 after he blurts out that Daphne's voice sounds as "sweet and perfect as a trap snapping shut on a criminal".
** Again in episode 13. Daphne overhears him call the biology teacher, whom they think is behind the cicada attacks, a "girlfriend stealer".
** Zig-zagged in episode 15 after Daphne kisses him:
--->'''Fred:''' She digs me! She digs me!!! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis SHE!! DIGS!! MEEEEE!!!!]]
* DitzyGenius[=/=]GeniusDitz: As usual, though he keeps a closer balance between brilliant but oblivious, a la ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'', and a moron with a few smart areas, a la ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'', than ever before.
* [[FourTemperamentEnsemble Five Temperament Ensemble]]: The Melancholic.
* TheGenericGuy: Deliberately avoided. Even Fred, the former TropeNamer himself, is given a much more developed personality than ever before.
* GenreSavvy: Has his moments, such as when its revealed he has all his friends houses booby-trapped to protect from monsters or how he gives the disc to Shaggy and Scooby in episode 21 because no one would suspect them of carrying anything important...but then THAT was discovered by Angel...
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: While he's quite insensitive, it's clear that he's a good guy who simply doesn't understand what he's saying is hurtful.
* HeroesWantRedHeads
* HeroicBSOD:
** Has one after he thinks his meddling got Professor Rockelow attacked by the monster. PlayedForLaughs.
** An even more devastating one occurs during episode 4, when he believes his latest trap has led to Daphne being hurt. Also PlayedForLaughs.
** Yet another in episode 7 after his trap fails and Daphne is kidnapped. Again.
** The reveal of who he really is in episode 26; this time NOT played for laughs
* HeroProtagonist: For the first time in Scooby Doo history, Fred could actually be described as the main character of the show, having more direct involvement with the plot than any of his teammates.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: A weird case. He seems to ''believe'' that he and Shaggy are this, and assumes the two of them will be living together for the rest of their lives, but they actually spend the least amount of time together out of all of Mystery Inc.
* HiddenDepths: Fred is a much more conflicted character than he initially seems.
** In the second season (notably "Wrath of the Krampus" and "The Man in the Mirror"), Fred proves himself quite the competent strategist.
* {{Hunk}}: Especially noticeable when opposite Shaggy.
* IAmWho: The HeroicBSOD in episode 26 should explain this.
* InnocentInnuendo: Has a habit of spouting accidental double entendres when talking with other men. Naturally, everyone notices but him.
* IReadItForTheArticles: His exact words when Daphne finds a "Traps Illustrated" magazine at his house.
* LanternJawOfJustice: Fred isn't so much about the justice as the traps, but that chin certainly fits the trope.
** Danny Darrow calls him "Mr. Perfect Big-Chin Man" to which Daphne asks if they've met.
*** It came from his father Brad from Mystery Inc.
* LeavingYouToFindMyself: Well, himself via finding his real parents
* TheLeader: Actually deconstructed to a degree. Fred's singleminded obsession with solving mysteries has clearly negatively impacted the lives of his friends, and each of them has expressed an interest of leaving the mystery solving business entirely. CharacterDevelopment sees him become more attentive and understanding to his teammates.
* LetsGetDangerous: Fred in episode 26 is ''far'' more focused and serious than he is for most of the series. Other times involve taking on other trap masters.
* MissingMom: Who's either dead or divorced from Mayor Jones.
** Episode 23 has Fred waxing emotional after seeing a picture of his mom, whom Shaggy said disappeared when Fred was very young.
** Episode 26 shows that he's really NOT the mayor's son and the picture is from a magazine! He's really the son of Brad and Judy of the original Mystery Inc.
* MrFanservice: He spends a good portion of one episode shirtless. He leaves his ascot on.
* NamelessNarrative: in his episode 26 backstory, he is only called a "baby boy", so he is now a character with [[NoNameGiven no real name known.]]
* NoSocialSkills: Fred's crippling lack of any sort of social awareness is played for both laughs and drama.
* ObliviousToLove: Initially Fred didn't seem to pick up that Daphne is flirting with him, now he's actively in denial about it.
** He's in love alright, but he's holding the engagement while he finds his real parents.
** He comes right out and tells Daphne he loves her in episode 50.
** ObfuscatingStupidity: Later episodes show he's not quite as oblivious as he leads the viewer on to be. He even becomes a [[ClingyJealousGirl Clingy Jealous Boy]] at times.
*** Lampshaded in episode 23: Fred has a multi-page list of everything Daphne does, and in his sleep he mumbles Daphne's name and "traps" in the same sentence.
* {{Otaku}}: Fred is a serious Trap Otaku.
* PungeonMaster: In "Howl of the Fright Hound" with a series of dog puns. He even [[DontExplainTheJoke explains his "flea" pun]] after capturing the robot dog. Daphne implores him to stop.
* TheReveal: He's really not the Mayor's son to begin with.
* ShoutOut: In season 2, it is revealed that Fred's appearance and demeanor will mirror that of Creator/TomHanks in "Cast Away."
* SingleTargetSexuality: Fred's only two loves are Daphne and traps. He's generally indifferent to everything else.
* StandardizedLeader: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]!
* Main/StealthPun: It's established fairly early that Fred's sport is soccer, but they don't explicitly state what position he plays until the final episode, though it's obvious in hindsight: he plays goal, a position that's sometimes known as the trapper.
* SuperOCD: Fred makes a multi-page schedule for Daphne so he'll know where she is every minute of the day.
* TastesLikeFeet: Fred sniffs a bookbag in episode 12, and declares that it smells like "a baboon smoking a cigar while bathing in a bath of moldy tuna and curdled ranch dressing".
* TinMan: Fred ''thinks'' that real men don't have feelings, and is very confused by the fact he ''does'', in fact, have feelings... for traps... and Daphne.
** Episode 23 shows that Fred is probably controlling of Daphne because his mom disappeared and he's afraid Daphne could as well. Daphne assures him it's not happening.
** Episode 24: After Fred's dad declines to thank him for solving the mystery, a disconsolate Fred finds consolation in the only person he believes understands him--Daphne. So much so that he proposes marriage to her after they graduate. She accepts and the two have their first real kiss.
** But now...the engagement's off thanks to the Mayor revealing that he isn't Fred's dad.
* TookALevelInBadass: Fred is at his most competent here, pulling off both impressive XanatosGambits and dominating in fist fights regularly.
* TrapMaster
** Episode 17 had him pitted against another, villainous TrapMaster, in which he treated him as if he were the ultimate rival. Which leads to a a great moment when they start discussing different types of traps.
** In episode 49 he led the gang through a TempleOfDoom without accidentally setting off any of the traps, later the MonsterOfTheWeek triggered all of them.
* WasItAllALie: Asks this to Mayor Jones after the truth comes out. His response is soul crushingly honest.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Which makes sense, because...
* YoureNotMyFather: Mayor Jones really ISN'T Fred's biological father. Brad and Judy, two of the original Mystery Incorporated members, are his real parents. He was NOT happy.
** Fred reconciles with Sr. in episode 48. He tells Sr. that while he wasn't his real father, he was the best "dad" he had to raise him.

!!Daphne Blake
!!!Voiced by: Music/GreyDeLisle
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlcsnap-2011-05-18-11h47m31s249_8994.jpg]]

* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Has one. This is [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by one of her mother's old friends, who thinks she's a vampire.
* AllWomenAreLustful: Like Velma, she makes some overtly sexual passes at Fred multiple times.
* BareYourMidriff: Her Hex Girl outfit.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished:
** Averted in episode 2, when she demonstrates that the alligator products are fake by invoking her allergies to synthetic animal skins. We're given a good long look at huge red pustules all along her arm.
** And averted in episode 4, when we're shown a flashback to her sister's wedding and her allergic reaction to shellfish. It wasn't pretty.
** Played Straight when Fred's ejection seat throws her out of the Mystery Machine. She only has some bruises on her face instead of scraped skin or broken bones.
** Averted again when she gets pimples after binging on chocolate.
* BigEater: In episode 19, she waits over 2 hours for a table at a restaurant, only to get dragged off to a mystery as soon as a table became available. By the time she ''finally'' gets a chance to eat, she's so hungry that she manages to out-eat ''Scooby and Shaggy''.
* BoundAndGagged: "In Fear of the Phantom" and "The Night the Clown Cried II - Tears of Doom".
* BreakTheCutie: Episode 26. She is absolutely devastated when Fred cancels their engagement.
* TheChick
* ClingyJealousGirl: To Fred.
* CloudCuckooLander: Sometimes.
-->'''Daphne:''' Is she trying to tell me that Alice May is the enemy and that Fred is pinned down on the beach and that I can't get up until he's safe! Or is Fred the beach and I'm the one pinned down? Or are we both the beach? It doesn't matter because I understand! ... I think.
* CompositeCharacter: Being most like the first show's version, but more clever and resourceful, like her later incarnations.
* DamselInDistress: Less so this time around.
* ExactEavesdropping: Because she's tied up above him, Daphne overhears Fred expressing frustration about his feelings toward her and how he wishes he didn't care so much about her. After she falls from her captivity, she misses his realization that he does love her.
* [[FourTemperamentEnsemble Five Temperament Ensemble]]: The Choleric.
* GenreBlind: One moment in episode 7 where, when a book drops off the shelf mysteriously, she puts it back instead of reading it. Then it keeps flying out, once with enough force to bounce off the previous shelf, and the mysterious TricksterMentor (probably Mister. E) {{lampshade|Hanging}}s it by saying "Oh, for crying out loud..."
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: She has this with her sister Daisy (the doctor), who acts condescending and casually insults her (to the point where Daphne jumps for joy when she believes Daisy's been attacked by a monster and possibly hurt). Daisy likes to hold her success in career and relationships over Daphne's head. Her relationship with her other sisters is ambiguous, save for Delilah (militant) whom she seems closer to despite all of her military talk and implied sadism.
* HairDecorations: Still has her Alice band.
* JerkassBall: In Episode Six, where she becomes 'Crush' in the Hex Girls. She even goes as far to ''write a song'' about how she just can't wait for Fred. She's back to normal in the next episode, though.
* LingerieScene: Her nightwear, in a gratuitous case of GettingCrapPastTheRadar that happens in multiple episodes.
* LipstickAndLoadMontage: Daphne undergoes one - instructing the other girls to "turn her into a rock star" - when she joins the Hex Girls in "In Fear of the Phantom".
* MagicSkirt: In her Hex Girls outfit.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Seems to be a common problem with Daphne.
--> '''Daphne's Mom:''' Why settle for ground beef when you can have a nice prime rib?
--> '''Daphne:''' But I don't even like meat! I like vegetables... like Fred.
* MsFanservice: Spends most of episode 4 in a bikini, and there's a scene where Velma rubs suntan lotion on her back. Her Hex Girl outfit in Episode 7 is also very revealing as is her nightie in Episode 15, when the gang and Sheriff Stone are in her bedroom.
* NoodleIncident: She has many to tell concerning her family. The latest is that her sister Dawn tried to train chickens to spell her name as part of an engagement announcement.
* PurpleEyes: Matching her dress.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt
* {{Redheaded Hero}}ine
* SelfInducedAllergicReaction: Daphne does this to check the quality of gator goods as fake animal skins make her break out.
* ShaggySearchTechnique: Pulls this off in episode 8.
* SweetTooth: She finds chocolate addictive.
* TastesLikeFeet: Daphne describes a book as smelling like "old clam chowder being gargled by a seal".
* [[ThatManIsDead That Girl Is Dead]]: Daphne pulls a temporary version, directed at Fred, when she takes the name Crush for her short stint with the Hex Girls. Naturally lost on Fred.
-->'''Fred:''' [[WhatAnIdiot Darn it lady]], I'm serious. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Where is she]]?
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Velma's Tomboy.
* TheUnfavorite: She seems to be this to her parents, who expect her to live up to her successful quadruplet (or is it quintuplet?) older sisters. When she balks at going to the same college where they all graduated before age 13, her mother tells her to her face she wishes Daphne had been a boy. Post-CosmicRetcon, this is reversed, as seen when her parents wish her sisters were more like her.
* WomanScorned: Subverted. She and Fred were about to be married after graduating, but now Fred's called off the wedding so he can search for his parents alone. She's not happy about this.
* YankTheDogsChain: Wow! Daphne's gonna get married to Fred after graduating! Oh wait, no she's not thanks to Mayor Jones revealing the truth and Fred leaving off to parts unknown.
* ZettaiRyouiki: In her Hex Girl outfit. Seemed to be a solid Grade A, too.
