History Characters / TheDaltons

* RedOniBlueOni: Both [[HairTriggeredTemper Joe]] and [[Keet Averell]] tend to act impulsively and are far more emotional in their ways compared to Jack and William, who are quieter, shyer and more rational, making them the Blue to the former's Red Oni. On his own, Joe is the Red Oni to Averell's Blue, due to a more kind-hearted, empathic and sensitive temperament from the latter.

* Keet: Downplayed, while he is not hyperactive, he is still a lot more enthusiastic and cheerful compared to his Brothers.

* RedOniBlueOni: Both Joe and Averell tend to act impulsively and are far more emotional in their ways (Averell is enthusiastic and cheerful, while Joe tends to behave in a brasher and more violent way) compared to Jack and William, who are quieter, shyer and more rational, making them the Blue to the former's Red Oni. On his own, Joe is the Red Oni to Averell's Blue, due to a more kind-hearted, empathic and sensitive temperament from the latter.

* DependingOnTheWriter: With the exception of the two [[BookWorm middle]] [[BookSmart brothers]], who often spend time reading newspapers or novels, it's not often clear whether they're illiterate or not. For instance, in "Last Will", the Daltons attempt to find an idea to escape by reading, while in another episode Joe had an hard time reading a letter, something that his brother Jack was capable of doing with ease.

[[folder: The Gang]]

* AdaptationalIntelligence: Every member of the quartet does show bouts of intelligence here and there compared to what we saw before in the original series:

[[folder: Joe]]

--> '''Averell''': But Joe, if we anger the buddies, wouldn't we be not buddies anymore?
--> '''Joe''': Justly Averell, this way we won't miss them once we've escaped.

[[folder: William]]

* AdaptationNameChange: The same deal as Jack here. In the original comics he's usually Jack, but is sometimes mistakenly referred to as William. Here, he's William full time.

[[folder: Averell]]

* TheBigGuy: To the rest of The Daltons.

* TheKlutz: Due to his occasional clumsiness when/while helping The Daltons escape, Averell is prone to be more of an SpannerInTheWorks because of this.

The single mother of The Daltons.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Although she may be part of the Dalton family and being a Dalton, In "Momma Knows Best", she's disgusted by her sons cheating as she evens tell them that Daltons never cheat.

[[folder: Rintindumb (''aka Rantanplan'')]]

An prison guard dog kept in The Penitentiary who is often tasked with watching over The Daltons.

* DogsAreDumb: No big surprise there, given that his English dub name is Rintin[[TheDitz dumb]] (from his name in french, Rantanplan translating this). Even for growing ''some'' new intelligence and [[MrImagination imagination.]]
* DumbassNoMore: In the ''"Inside Rintindumb"'' episode, when The Daltons were shrunk and plugged Rintindumb's plugs into his skull for his neurons to run; he becomes a more competent, devious, graceful, and smarter canine when following Joe's orders. [[StatusQuoIsGod Rintindumb returns back to normal, however.]]

[[folder: Melvin Peabody]]

* TheAce: Effortlessly good at stopping The Daltons whether he does this because of him interfering with their plans or his reliable guards/etc taking them back to prison.

* {{Catchphrase}}: ''"The Daltons Are Escaping! Stop Them!!"''
* ChivalrousPervert[=/=]CovertPervert: As seen in ''"The Director's Girlfriend"'' episode, Peabody can be quite the ludicrous one. However, the fact that he never gets this... insistent towards Miss Betty or any other beautiful woman, respecting them and treating them as colleagues and/ or equals (in opposition to The Daltons or Pete and Emmett who have [[ThePeepingTom peeping tom]] tendencies), proves that he is both of these tropes.

* {{Determinator}}: Never stops at stopping The Daltons from escaping the prison, especially by his repeated phrase being used whenever he spots The Daltons escaping in any way.

* JerkassBall: While mostly a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, he will have moments where he gets haughty, unreasonable or inconsiderate -- usually it's when he's trying to assert his authority, or when his {{Greed}} gets the better of him.
* LanternJawOfJustice: Has an cartoony, big chin and is [[TheHero pretty heroic]] when it comes to stopping The Daltons.
* NiceGuy: Usually an pleasant man to talk to (whenever its a important time at the very least), and can be ''too'' nice to others and such to The Dalton's delight at times.

* Ascended Extra: Downplayed, while in the Lucky Luke movies he, along with Jack, functioned only as an extra, here he has more depth in terms of personality and screentime, although not by much, considering he is still OutOfFocus.

[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]

* Characterization marches on: In the first few episode, he was almost as accident-prone and clumsy as Averell and there were moments in which he displayed high emotion (like when his foot was hit by a rock). Later on he became much stealthier compared to his brothers, like when he caught Peabody off-guard with a copper pan, quieter and more level-headed.

** William - Phlegmatic, The one who tries to break up fights, often open-minded and rational, but slightly
** laid-back and lazier than the others;
** Averell - Sanguine, The nicest of the Daltons, extroverted and easy-going with everyone,quirky and eccentric but ** very gullible and too much talkative according to Joe.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble:
** Joe - Choleric;
** Jack - Melancholic;
** William - Phlegmatic;
** Averell - Sanguine.

** William regains his original status of "family intellettual", which he has lost over the years;

* TheConsigliere: In many episodes he manages to highlight flaws in Joe's plans. This leads to Joe changing his mind or, occasionally, the latter, Jack or William coming up with a better solution.

* TheCharmer: Implied, He seems to be this to Miss Betty in a few episodes, with "Highly Gifted Daltons" being a perfect example.

One of the middle brothers, who mostly acts as a buffer between Joe and Averell, calming down the former and shutting up the latter. Jack, despite being one of the least characterized brothers, he is often presented as the one with the most common sense and the one who calls out the flaws in Joe's plans as well as being his main sidekick.
