* ReallyGetsAround: She's developed [[ExtremeLibido hypersexuality]] as a result of her trauma. Among her conquests are [[CatFolk Kincaid]], [[TeensAreShort Yvette]], [[ScrewballSquirrel Crispin]], and [[PlayingWithFire Spencer]] at the very least. It's implied she has far more.

* TeensAreShort: Since any injury will force her to shrink down, Yvette is typically just over five feet tall, and when she was in middle school, she once shrank down to '''3'8"''' after a serious injury that nearly cost Yvette her hand.

Per TRS. Bishonen is a Definition-Only fan-speak term used only for Japanese/East-Asian media. Examples or audience reactions are not allowed. Moving In Universe acknowledgements/relevance to Pretty Boy. Removing any ZCE or misuse.


* {{Bishonen}}: He has rather pretty, androgynous features. The art only brings it out more.

* ScaryTeeth: While it’s typically not visible under her mask, Nora has a set of sharp pointed teeth to go with her toxic saliva. Kennedy compares her to [[VideoGame/MortalKombat Mileena]] for this reason, and Nora and Anatoly have a quick convo about it after she destroys her mask.

* TheBeastmaster: Her Gift allows her to communicate with any insect, arachnid, or bug, with the drawbacks being [[NotGoodWithPeople difficulty socializing with humans]] and the possibility of being influenced by the bugs around her.
* NotGoodWithPeople: Because of her ability to communicate with bugs she is seen as a weird, socially stunted person with a bizarre obsession. She generally prefers to interact with bugs more than people.

* AllWomenAreLustful: Blatantly discusses what Kennedy might use as [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbation fuel]] while ''[[MasterOfTheMixedMessage insulting her]]'', and has an ExtremeLibido brought on by trauma. She doesn't seem to have very strong boundaries when it comes to sex.

Due to misuse plus a TRS decision, Kill Em All is no longer a trope


* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: On the first day, she threatens the students with triggering a random ExplosiveLeash every hour if nobody is killed. She also threatens that ThereCanBeOnlyOne at the end of five days, and she will KillEmAll with no hesitation if more than one is alive.

* LipstickLesbian: Nora has almost stereotypically tradwife-like interests, including [[NeatFreak cleaning]], [[TextileWorkIsFeminine sewing, embroidery]], and [[FeminineWomenCanCook cooking]]. Her appearance is in a similar vein, as she typically wears long dresses and leggings. In one flashback she has a conversation with a study buddy about crushes on boys, and her narration notes that while she acknowledges some men as attractive she can’t imagine herself being with them in any way. It’s also mentioned post-game that she’s working on an embroidery project with orange, pink, and white stripes, specifically noting that her parents either don’t notice, don’t know the meaning, or don’t care as much [[note]]in other words, it resembles one variant of the lesbian flag[[/note]]. She also gets ShipTease with Melodie. It’s implied but not stated outright that she’s a ClosetGay who only started to come to grips with it as a side effect of attending therapy.

Added DiffLines:

* MaliciousMonitorLizard: Downplayed. Nora explicitly has traits similar to a komodo dragon, which she uses to seriously harm someone. However, she’s less overtly evil and more of a DirtyCoward who [[HeelRealization comes to regret it]]. A flashback showing her watching a nature documentary on komodo dragons plays more into this trope, as it depicts graphic animal predation.

* ShaggyDogStory: Her time at Duniway ultimately turns out this way. After a long time being homeschooled she finally is allowed to attend public school in her Freshman year, and despite her anxiety and more sheltered upbringing she begins to adjust. After her suicide attempt post-game, she’s pulled out of Duniway and back into homeschooling due to her trauma.

* BlessedWithSuck: Being a Poisonous Person means that Nora spent much of her education being homeschooled, is prone to anemic episodes, and is unable to fully pursue her dreams in the way she would like. Her own narration notes the irony in it being called a 'Gift' when to her it's a 'Curse.'

to:

* AnimalMotifs: Reptiles. Aside from Nora’s own Gift, it’s mentioned that [[LizardFolk reptile-like traits]] run on both sides of her family. Her older brother Rusty has a [[MultipurposeTongue chameleon-like tongue]], her father can [[TearsOfBlood shoot blood from the eyes]] like a horned lizard, and her mother has a form of heat-based InnateNightVision similar to a snake’s. She also mentions an uncle who can unhinge his jaw and swallow a sandwich whole.[[note]]This is a ShoutOut to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAwcj6d8XTQ&ab_channel=thenowcorporation this]] infamous Burger King commercial.[[/note]]
* ArtificialCannibalism: Not shown on-screen, but it’s confirmed that Nora is one of the people who Melodie has served her MeatMoss to. Said MeatMoss is confirmed to be human in composition but non-sentient.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Played with. Nora at first appears to be a DelicateAndSickly ShrinkingViolet. As the game goes on she poisons someone [[DirtyCoward out of cowardice]], and later tries to devise a list stating that she hated everyone and why. However, she slowly comes to regret her decisions, and in the post-game it’s implied her apparent niceness wasn’t entirely an act. The issue here is repressed rage and trauma [[BewareTheNiceOnes that surfaced]] rather than the type of maliciousness you’d typically expect from this trope.

* BungledSuicide: She attempts suicide by hanging post-game some time after the full extent of her involvement in Orion’s death becomes public knowledge, but is saved by a neighbor spotting her as well as her brother intervening.
* DelicateAndSickly: Her Gift gives her chronic anemia, which was one reason why she had to be homeschooled for much of her education. Personality-wise, she’s described as shy and sweet-natured. Ultimately deconstructed: Nora has a lot of personal baggage associated with her Gift and its implications on her life, which is largely repressed until the game starts. Once her SanitySlippage starts she gets more openly resentful and envious of others who have less life-effecting Gifts and thus have lived better lives with less physical and emotional pain. She eventually comes to understand that this is the result of InternalizedCategorism, and acknowledges that some of her negative emotions were repressed partly due to an expectation that she’d have to deal with them [[InspirationallyDisadvantaged in the most graceful way imaginable.]]
* DirtyCoward: One of her major character flaws. What prompts her to poison Orion is Owl announcing that if no one died at the end of the day she’d kill everyone. This not only leads to Orion’s death, but the shattering of a previously stable group and later Nora’s SanitySlippage.
* GreenEyedMonster: A recurring theme with her. While not as outwardly vocal about it as Jenelle, she has a hidden resentment of people who have much less physically and emotionally painful Gifts, [[InnocentlyInsensitive especially if they show them off in front of her]]. Nora’s Gift in particular has led her to live a more isolated life due to her illness and the various safety precautions, meaning she had to miss out on a lot growing up. During a therapist appointment post-game, it’s even suggested as a factor in why she poisoned Orion [[DrivenByEnvy specifically]] instead of Joel or Lucine, as he introduced himself to the group using [[{{Telepathy}} his Gift]] which might have set this off before Owl made her announcement. Her envy is something she’s overall starting to unpack by the time her character arc ends.
* DreamCrushingHandicap: Nora is interested in food science and cooking. Unfortunately, being a PoisonousPerson puts a roadblock on that. She manages to share her passion through a [=YouTube=] channel that focuses on recipes.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: A significant source of her trauma is the fact that her Gift has made it so that, for most of her life, she has been able to have little interaction with others. Before arriving at Duniway she rarely left the house outside of occasional visits to the library, the hospital, or to family, and she had few people she regularly talked to that weren’t blood-related, tutors, or medical professionals. She also later starts to succumb to this after Orion’s death on top of her pre-existing trauma.
* HatesEveryoneEqually: She tries to tell herself this to better justify killing her classmates, even coming up with a list of why she hates each and every person in the game. However, it’s made clear that this isn’t the case.
* InternalizedCategorism: Nora does not have a healthy relationship with her Gift (or rather, [[InsistentTerminology Curse]]) due to it being inherently traumatizing, which comes more to the forefront as the game goes on.
* InsistentTerminology: While she refers to others’ Gifts as such, she refers to her own as a ‘Curse’ due to her InternalizedCategorism.
* KissOfDeath: One flashback has her cry her eyes out after realizing that she could never kiss someone without seriously hurting them due to her toxins.
* LipstickLesbian: Nora has almost stereotypically tradwife-like interests, including [[NeatFreak cleaning]], [[TextileWorkIsFeminine sewing, embroidery]], and [[FeminineWomenCanCook cooking]]. Her appearance is in a similar vein, as she typically wears long dresses and leggings. In one flashback she has a conversation with a study buddy about crushes on boys, and her narration notes that while she acknowledges some men as attractive she can’t imagine herself being with them in any way. It’s also mentioned post-game that she’s working on an embroidery project with orange, pink, and white stripes, specifically noting that her parents either don’t notice, don’t know the meaning, or don’t care as much [[note]]in other words, it resembles one variant of the lesbian flag[[/note]]. She also gets ShipTease with Melodie. It’s implied but not stated outright that she’s a ClosetGay who only started to come to grips with it as a side effect of attending therapy.
* LiteralMinded: Like August, she has a hard time picking up on memes and in-jokes. It’s mentioned that she thought the ‘devious lick’ trend was when someone went around licking things and not theft or property damage, and that she took a reference to ‘Astronaut in the Ocean’ as a serious question. When someone makes a joke about ‘monsters’, Nora becomes frightened at the possibility of someone using their Gift to create abominations to harm people.


Added DiffLines:

* NightmareFetishist: [[HiddenDepths While you might not think it]], Nora casually watches komodo dragon feeding videos. It’s implied it’s not entirely for healthy reasons, though. It’s also confirmed that she’s among the people who have sampled the MeatMoss Melodie generates.
* NightmareFuel: Discussed in-universe. Nora and her brother Rusty talk about the time they watched the infamous tapeworm episode of ''Series/MrMeaty'' as young children, and how [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids inappropriate it was for kids]]. Apparently, the show has been an in-joke between them.
* OnlyOneFindsItFun: While most of her other classmates find the idea of going to a potato farm boring, Nora is legitimately excited to go. It helps that she has an interest in food science and that she’d never actually been on ''any'' field trips before. Unfortunately for her and her class, the Deerstalkers had other plans.


Added DiffLines:

* PsychologicalProjection: It’s apparent when looking through her list of why she HatesEveryoneEqually that some of the reasons she gives are just her projecting her insecurities onto other people.
* SanitySlippage: She’s not in a great headspace after Orion’s death. She comes up with a list for why she HatesEveryoneEqually, rips up her face mask, threatens Anatoly, crushes a cockroach while thinking specifically of Isabella, and [[LaughingMad laughs her head off]] after discovering Joel’s corpse and hearing the news of Lucine’s death. She does get [[SanityStrengthening a little better]] post-game, but it takes some difficulty.
* ScaryTeeth: While it’s typically not visible under her mask, Nora has a set of sharp pointed teeth to go with her toxic saliva. Kennedy compares her to [[VideoGame/MortalKombat Mileena]] for this reason, and Nora and Anatoly have a quick convo about it after she destroys her mask.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Almost to the point of a RunningGag:
** During the infamous rock fight she starts out peacefully embroidering until rocks get flung in her direction. This leads to her and Melodie running for it.
** She runs away from Lucine when she confronts her over Orion’s water bottle containing lizard venom. After the announcement comes on and mentions Orion’s MercyKill, she bolts in the other direction.
** After ineffectually giving Anatoly death threats, she eventually decides to run the other way instead of engaging further knowing what he’s capable of.
** When the Vigilate announces that the remaining students are free to leave and that they should go to the outskirts as soon as they can, Nora responds by running out of the compound and into the desert blindly.
* SelfHarm: It’s implied that she has a habit of emotional self-harm. A flashback has her watch a documentary about komodo dragons that features on-screen predation and decay, potentially bringing up issues related to her InternalizedCategorism. It’s later mentioned in the Aftermath that her therapist warned her about putting herself in situations that may cause her emotional distress, a fact Nora remembers while interacting with a Circle K manager who acts skittish around Gifts.
* ShaggyDogStory: Her time at Duniway ultimately turns out this way. After a long time being homeschooled she finally is allowed to attend public school in her Freshman year, and despite her anxiety and more sheltered upbringing she begins to adjust. After her suicide attempt post-game, she’s pulled out of Duniway and back into homeschooling due to her trauma.
* ShrinkingViolet: One of the more timid and quiet members of the cast.
* TakeThat: A minor one, but when Melodie and Nora rest in a hotel post-game, they start watching the news before switching to Cartoon Network. Neither of them seems to have a high impression of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', as Nora refers to it as ‘loud background noise’, and both she and Melodie make comments about the childish nature of the show.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Early on she spits into a water bottle so that she has it in case it’s needed. Later Orion gets this water bottle, with deadly results.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Nora is among the first to willingly attack someone in a way that results in a death… and also one of the most pitiful among the cast.
