Added DiffLines:

* DelusionsOfBeauty: Courtney cares a lot about her own beauty, something that becomes more exaggerated when her SanitySlippage begins. She spirals into madness while attempting to make herself look stunning, with efforts that includes putting on ''way'' too much lipstick and, at the end, covering her entire face in rhinestones. She also keeps asking her callers if she's beautiful, and most play along to avoid offending her, which means that she continues to double down on thinking her efforts are working even as she begins to look much more obviously bizarre.

Added DiffLines:

* SensitiveArtist: Jack is the EccentricArtist of the family, and he also seems to be the most sensitive and emotional among his siblings and most of the other cast as well. He's incredibly reactive to anyone's criticisms, from flipping out at "[[AudienceParticipation Palmer]]" for thinking his paintings are bad to having a SanitySlippage meltdown after his failed art show. He's also the most receptive and kind to his callers, addressing them all as the same entity - the aforementioned Palmer, who he develops a complicated friendship with - while the other characters are quick to dismiss or snap at their own callers. He even [[RestorationOfSanity temporarily snaps out]] of his SanitySlippage [[spoiler:when he realizes Jouglat is dead]], nearly breaking down in tears when he talks about [[spoiler: how much his brother meant to him]], something not even [[OnlySaneMan Berry]] did.

* KnifeNut: He's quick to pull out his knife at any moment, and is just as willing to kill anyone who even so much as startles him.

Added DiffLines:

* HighPoweredCareerWoman: Courtney's an ambitious, intelligent, and hard-working woman who came up with the idea for the Battle Machines that not only changed the tide of the "warr", but also made [=MannCorp=] as rich and powerful as it is. However, despite this, she was constantly pushed aside and her husband Tank took the credit, leading her to grow bitter and resentful of him and his company, and spurring her on to start sabotaging the company as soon as Tank disappeared.

* ShortLivedLeadership: hen Gravesite starts neglecting his duties, Prince decides to overthrow his leadership and name himself the leader, instead. This lasts for, at most, two days- [[spoiler:he puts the girls on trial for Witchcraft, goes crazy, and dies, after Gravesite took his position back.]]

* HateSink: As portrayed in the show, he's a narcissistic asshole who is repeatedly shown to be found annoying, manipulative, unprofessional and selfish, even to the point of the other characters wanting little to do with him. As "Tanking Mann" lacks a structured narrative like "Mann" or "Warr", He acts as the main antagonistic force and someone the audience can root against, tying into the theme of harmful misuse/abuse of communication.

* BaldOfAwesome: Inverted and PlayedWith; Gravesite had long, flowing hair, contributing to his over-all badass look, befitting a badass leader. However, as soon as Prince proclaimed himself leader... the hair turned out to be a wig. A wig symbolizing the captain of the unit. Gravesite was left with his natural bald head, now in a position where he is no longer considered awesome or badass in-universe.

* RestorationOfSanity: Jack undergoes some serious SanitySlippage which eventually [[spoiler:leads to him transforming into a buff orange monster]]. This almost sends [[spoiler:Jouglat's funeral]] into chaos, but the day is saved when [[spoiler:Tank Mann comes home]]. Afterwards, Jack, for the most part, returns to acting normally.



* RestorationOfSanity: Courtney undergoes some serious SanitySlippage, thanks in part to her [[TheAlcoholic alcoholism]]. This almost sends [[spoiler:Jouglat's funeral]] into chaos, but the day is saved when [[spoiler:Tank Mann comes home]]. Afterwards, Courtney, for the most part, returns to acting normally.



* RestorationOfSanity: As the story progresses, Gravesite's deteriorating sanity causes him to become more and more obsessed with making an action movie over performing his actual role as leader. However, he's eventually reminded of just how important his role is, and quickly returns to a right state of mind.




to:

* RestorationOfSanity: Prince's deteriorating sanity leads him to not just trying to kill Prisoner Sarah, but also other characters. Luckily, Gravesite stopping him from [[spoiler:killing Mable and Ashes]] causes Prince's sanity to quickly return... [[spoiler:just in time for him to die of an AgonizingStomachWound]].

Added DiffLines:

* RoundHippieShades: He initially just wore normal round glasses. As his work takes on a more abstract style and he begins to undergo SanitySlippage, however, he drifts away from the old routine. And it is highlighted by his SignificantWardrobeShift to darker colors and a more alternative style - including black circular glasses.

* {{Adorkable}}: He's a kind, sweet, and awkwardly dorky fellow, who doesn't really fit-in with the other soldiers. In-universe, this attitude certainly works on the girls, who take a quick liking to him, despite Mabel not even trusting soldiers as a general rule. It even works on Prince, who calls him "sweet", "funny", "handsome", etc.

* AllianceWithAnAbomination: Frank seems to be at first just working for Courtney, in order to bring down [=MannCorp=]. However, he's actually the servant of the HumanoidAbomination Gergiev, who promises him great rewards for helping him destroy the Mann family itself. Frank became increasingly frustrated and concerned about their partnership, however, as his payment didn't come right away, and the work kept getting more dangerous and cruel. [[spoiler:He does follow through with the plan, however, and kills Jouglat for Gergiev, earning his reward.]]

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachother: The Mann children. Quirky as they may be, and all clashing over the course of the story due to their personal struggles, they do sincerely love each other. [[spoiler:Being told Jouglat was dead]] snapped Jack out of his "Jack Prime" state, leading to an emotional monologue where Jack expressed his sincere love for his brother. In the same scene, Berry was struggling to keep everyone respectful during the ceremony, and was incredibly worried during Jack's outburst, telling him that he's not a buff monster, but a sweet boy who paints sweet trains.
