* SexualDeviancyIsEvil: {{ZigZagged|Trope}}. By all standards, the relationship between Winston and Maxine puts her family in jeopardy of falling into debt due to the forbidden nature of InterspeciesRomance and she fully intends on escaping with him without considering Leslie's future. However, their sexual encounters are portrayed as very active and sexually and emotionally fulfilling for both parties, especially contrasting the non-existant sex between Maxine and Phil.

* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: {{Implied|Trope}}. Her conversation with Napoleon implies she was his favorite child before falling from grace. As her father is leaving her cell, she asks to tell her if it's true her stepmother Maxine hates her, even admitting how much her brother Jones "treats her like garbage", as she thinks they resented her success and may have done something to sabotage her.

to:

* DaddysLittleVillain: She was groomed into being the "perfect child" by Napoleon, even over his son Jones. Then something happened and she became a "disappointment".

As her father is leaving her cell, she asks to tell her if it's true her stepmother Maxine hates her, even admitting how much her brother Jones "treats her like garbage", as she thinks they resented her success and may have done something to sabotage her. Although the way she phrases [[NeverMyFault also makes it seem she'd rather blame them for her failures than anything else]].

* AmbiguouslyGay: In a flashback, she apologizes to her father over the fact she kissed a woman, one of the nurses, feebly lying that "it was just a joke". Curiously, this is ''not'' the reason Napoleon's punishing her as he mentions how she did something that made her a failure in his eyes.
* CureYourGays: Napoleon makes it clear Minerva's "deviancy" will be fixed, one way or the other.

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:As implied by Carol's revelations to Leslie in Issue #12, some of the members made Winston disappear so Maxine could get together with Napoleon, implying he already had his eye on her back then. His death comes at the hands of the woman he loved, possessed into admitting how much she despises him and how she still thinks about Winston, before she explodes his head.]]

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Much like his son, Napoleon was complicit and later became one of the main authorities of the Consiracy, creating many Recovery Centers where interspecies couples were tortured and brainwashed, not to say disappeared, all to satify his twisted mindset and sadistic tendencies. Thus, it makes all the more satifying when the one he loves, Maxine, reveals how much she truly despises him as she applies psychic, unbearable pressure to his head before exploding in a mass of membrane and bone.]]

Added DiffLines:

* MeaningfulName: His name is a reference to Winston, the protagonist of the novel ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'', who is similarly stiuck between following the government's rules and loving someone against society's wishes. [[spoiler:Unlike the novel, this Winston is disappeared by a GovernmentConspiracy rather than bending his will to society's manipulations.]]

* BirdsOfAFeather: A main reason him and Maxine hit it off was both possessed a similar sense of humor as well as a dim view of the Leader's proclamations and push for same-species coupling. In fact, the first thing he said to her was a joke about how the Leader's looks make it almost necessary to enforce such rules to even stand a chance of getting laid.



* InterspeciesRomance: He was involved in a torrid affair with Maxine, a pig.

* TheLadette: [[spoiler:Even before turning evil, Maxine was never one for tact. Despite having the look of a typical housewife, she'd frequently smoke, argue with her husband (with [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown often catastrophic]] [[DomesticAbuse results]]) and often swore a storm with the additional FlippingTheBird should anyone piss her off, as a young Mr. Hans finds out when bothering her in a phone booth.]]

* OneTrueLove: While Maxine's [[UnreliableNarrator memories of him are very rose-tinted]] [[spoiler:and as Leslie's flashback POV shows, she wasn't above being demanding of him, he was the love of her life, to the point that the maximum position in government, remarrying and gaining an evil spirit's powers never managed to make her happy after losing him.]]

* InterspeciesRomance: He was involved in a torrid affair with Maxine, a pig.
* MakeOutKids: As Maxine relates in her flashback in Issue #9 and #10, her relationship with Winston began as a mere friendship only to quickly evolve into fully romantic as the two regressed into a state of "teenage love" where they couldn't keep their hands of each other, at one point having a romantic picnic under the moonlight. [[spoiler:This got riskier as they progressed to having sex every time Phil would leave the house ''and even when he was in it''.]]

She barely lasts a minute before her body is taken over by the Albino, effectively ''killing'' Maxine's spirit.]]

* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler: She's the leader of a cult that seeks to snuff out InterspeciesRomance, and yet she herself was once in an affair with a lion, and she underwent her shaman training in a place that ''encourages'' interspecies couples. Her motivation ultimately boils down to: "If I can't love whoever I want, then neither can anyone else." It comes full circle right before she kills Napoleon (whom she just finished telling Leslie is the only person she's ever loved), telling him that every time they had sex, she was thinking of the lion.]]
* ImpliedDeathThreat: They imply to [[spoiler:Jones]] that they will kill him if he continues to fail to capture Leslie.

* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler:During her time in the cult. Carol was deeply involved in a FantasticRacism conspiracy against interspecies all while spouting swine superiority, but even then, she was never rude or dismissive of others. She remained a helpful friend to Maxine (up to a point) and during her transitional period in Tijoux, she was always friendly to others, [[FriendToAllChildren especially the children to whom she often read stories by the campfire]]. In the present time, she has fully dropped the evil part, as she now leads LaResistance.]]
