!"Carnists"
!!Tropes Common To All:
* DesignatedVillain: "Not vegan" is their collective defining trait. According to Yerdian, this automatically qualifies them as morally bankrupt.
* InsistentTerminology: They're rarely referred to as anything except "carnists," aside from the occasional designation as "omnifails" or "[[TakeOurWordForIt anti-vegans]]."
* StrawVegetarian: Inverted; they're straw-''omnivores''.
* UnintentionallySympathetic: The narrative paints them as ignorant, hypocritical, mean-spirited, self-centered, aggressive, and wrong about literally everything, and insists that they hate vegans. When the vegans scold, bully, assault, or even ''kill'' them, we're expected to cheer. Never mind that they're not only more likely to have genuinely valid points than the vegans, but are a hell of a lot more tolerant of the vegans than the vegans are of them.
!!Shawn
The most frequently appearing "[[InsistentTerminology carnist]]." The meat loving brother of [[GranolaGirl Plausibell and Cherry]], his status as a hardcore meat eater in a webcomic about veganism makes him a primary antagonist. Those that hate the comic, however, tend to root for him.

A sweet vegan that doesn't appear as often as Plausibell, Legua, or Dolly. She was introduced to show that being skinny wasn't a requirement for being vegan, though the fact that her obesity is blamed on her mother feeding her unhealthy non-vegan foods [[BrokenAesop kind of destroys that message.]] Her mother Elise and her brother
* AllLovingHero: Definitely shows this trope more than most of her fellow vegans, though even she has her [[JerkassBall jerk moments.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Like Legua, she's a sweet vegan. Unlike Legua, she chose to [[http://archive.is/X7dqX give him burns with her tea]] rather than wreck his reproductive system.
* BigBeautifulWoman: She's one of the fattest recurring characters in the series, but also sweet-faced, bright-eyed, and described as "cute" on her cast page.
* IdiotHair: Has one in the shape of a heart.
* JerkassBall: Although Mike is one of the nicer [[DesignatedHero protagonists]], she does have moments where she can be just as mean to [[ButtMonkey Shawn]] as the others. The two most prominent examples are [[http://archive.is/epBsb stealing Shawn's fries when he refuses to eat fake meat]], joining her friends in [[MisplacedRetribution beating him up]] after [[http://archive.is/7eaXM Sterk uses him as an excuse to be apathetic]], and [[http://archive.is/X7dqX scalding him with tea]] for calling her "{{human|sAreTheRealMonsters}}."
* NiceGirl: One of the better examples of this among the vegans. While she can be a jerk sometimes, she isn't a jerk as often as her friends.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Likes "vegan junkfood," which seems to mean "French fries [[EnemyEatsYourLunch stolen from Shawn]] in order to [[ButtMonkey make a point]]."
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Like Dolly, she has pink hair, though hers is a darker shade of pink than Dolly's.

This is treated like a HeelFaceTurn due to the comic's stance on omnivory, but is better defined as this trope in any other context.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Is dating fellow vegan Sanc. This is also why she is not interested in Shawn, since she considers his meat eating [[http://78.media.tumblr.com/0774d2b21b5552e1342a17c2298aeeb7/tumblr_n6t31ej2yy1rkwrmdo1_400.png to be morally wrong.]]

The most frequently appearing omnivore/[[InsistentTerminology carnist]]. The meat loving brother of [[GranolaGirl Plausibell and Cherry]], his status as a hardcore meat eater in a webcomic about veganism makes him a primary antagonist. Those that hate the comic, however, tend to root for him.

!!Tropes:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Is this towards Legua, since she is a vegan with a distaste for omnivores like him.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: According to [[WordOfGod Yerdian]], Shawn is a [[http://archive.is/J9UFK year younger]] than his sister. The comic certainly treats him as this trope, due to butting heads with his sisters over their veganism.
* ArchEnemy: To his older sister, Plausibell
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Subverted; he is attractive, but the narrative certainly doesn't treat him as sympathetic.
* BigEater: Is often portrayed as [[http://archive.is/2EYeg having a monstrous appetite]], to the point he can be seen emptying a whole fridge.
* {{Bishonen}}: Is quite handsome, oddly enough.
* BlackSheep: Due to still being a practicing omnivore, he is considered this in comparison with his vegan [[http://archive.is/BpqH5 sisters]].
* BreakTheHaughty: Whenever he gets too cocky (which is basically every time he appears), he usually gets a harsh wake up call, that leaves him [[TheChewToy rebuked, ridiculed, mistreated, or physically injured]] by the [[DesignatedHero protagonists]].
** Although in many cases, it's less justified when [[JerkassHasAPoint he has a stronger, valid argument]] and the narrative just punishes him [[TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong for being an omnivore and daring to have the opposite opinion of everyone else ]].
* TheBully: Supposedly bullied vegans alongside Dolly before her HazyFeelTurn.
* ButtMonkey: [[UpToEleven And how!]] He gets the most amount of abuse out of all the "carnists." Just to give a brief sampler: he's been assaulted by the vegans for affronts that range from "saying something wrongheaded" to "giving Sterk an excuse to be apathetic," had most of his dinner stolen by the vegans for refusing to eat fake meat, got fat and sick [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext trying to show up Lilith by eating more meat]], was made a mockery of for apparently being allergic to some vegan staple or another, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking failed a biology test for pointing out that humans are omnivores]] (if mainly because this [[InsaneTrollLogic apparently required making bizarre physiological claims and advocating "needless violence" without irony]]). Poor guy...
* CainAndAbel: As mentioned in Plausibell's section, he plays the Cain to her Abel. He is also a Cain towards [[CheerfulChild Cherry,]] his younger sister.
* ChewToy: [[http://s22.postimg.org/4mih5h99t/Look_How_Nonviolent.jpg This strip]] roughly sums up the entire apparent purpose of Shawn's existence.
* ChivalrousPervert: Will perv on Legua, but he has [[http://archive.is/McVtu called out an unsolicited postcard depicting a naked woman with several babies,]] saying it objectified women. Being a DesignatedVillain, the narrative treats him as more of a HandsomeLech.
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Poor Shawn. He really should find a better group of friends.
* DumbBlonde: Is one of the few blondes in the series, and Yerdian has outright described him as "stupid." He's always [[InformedWrongness treated by the narrative]] [[http://archive.is/RLeRM as being ignorant]] (even when [[SmarterThanYouLook he's actually right]]).
* {{Fanboy}}: Implied to be one of [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}}]] and [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros]] in [[http://archive.is/SsNsM this strip]], where the hallucinated Pirhana Plant says he has played way too much of both of those games.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Shawn is portrayed as the more foolish sibling compared to Brie, due to being a straw "carnist" whose only defense is that he just doesn't want to give up bacon.
* FreudianExcuse: Shawn hates veganism (or Yerdian [[InformedFlaw insists that he does]], anyhow) because he believes his sister converting his crush to it ruined his chances with her.
* GreenEyedMonster: In one comic, it shows Shawn is jealous of Legua's [[TheGhost unseen love interest]], [[http://pupavegan.deviantart.com/art/Real-men-eat-meat-531807328 Sanc]].
* HopelessSuitor: Shawn to Legua, due to the latter being a vegan, who distance herself from him for being an omnivore, and already having a [[TheGhost unseen boyfriend]].
* IgnoredAesop: The lessons Shawn learns about veganism never stick. Most readers prefer it that way.
* LazyBum: [[WordOfGod Yerdian]] describes Shawn as being a lazy teen, [[http://archive.is/PTxTz who sits in front of his television all day eating chips and bacon]]. However, this trait is not [[InformedFlaw really displayed in the comics itself]].
* LightIsNotGood: Shawn—who's the only recurring blond male character (as contrasted with Rohit, Sterk, and the [[TheGhost off-screen]] Sanc, all of whom are dark-haired) and tends to wear paler colors—is meant to be viewed as this. However, non-vegan readers (and, for that matter, most vegan readers less militant than Yerdian) are more likely to view him as [[DesignatedVillain unjustly labeled a villain]] due to his dietary preferences.
* MistakenForGay: When Shawn was trying to troll Brie by showing off his new leather pants and coat, she responds by saying that he's trying to come [[http://archive.is/DInas out of the closet]].
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Whenever [[TookALevelInJerkass the plot so demands]], Shawn will [[http://archive.is/cqx2Q display]] an EntitledToHaveYou attitude towards Legua, [[http://archive.is/EFHKR body-shame]] [[http://archive.is/JZKYp the female characters]] or [[http://archive.is/jXCGv compare]] them to [[TrademarkFavoriteFood bacon]], and otherwise act like a sexist creep. And then, there's the time when he panicked and got rid of an outfit because Brie insinuated that it [[MistakenForGay made him look gay]].
** In one case of InformedWrongness, Shawn's criticism about respecting people's choices and not forcing them into being vegan (by contrasting how some try to force gay people to be straight), is [[InsaneTrollLogic misconstrued]] as [[http://archive.is/ndAVk comparing systematic violence and destruction of the habitat to being gay]].
* SiblingRivalry: With Plausibell, due to their differing diets.
* SiblingYinYang: As seen in Plausibell's entry, he has this dynamic with her.
* SmugSnake: Shawn tends to be smirking at the start of his appearances.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Bacon.
* {{Troll}}: [[StrawLoser Shawn]] is sometimes shown trolling his sister and other vegans with comments ranging from talking about his love for meat to jokes poking fun at veganism.
* VillainousCrush: Has one on Legua.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Legua used to be very close, before the latter distanced herself from him after embracing veganism. Of course this being [[DesignatedVillain Shawn]], the narrative doesn't give him any sympathy for losing his bond with Legua due to being a "carnist".
* SuddenNameChange: Her name was changed to Plausibell in Pupa Vegan. One wonders if it had anything to do with her originally having been named after a type of cheese.

The most frequently appearing vegan. Her name was changed from Brie to Plausibell during the [[ArtShift change to the simpler art style.]] Has a younger brother, Shawn, who she frequently butts heads with, along with a younger sister, Cherry, who is being raised vegan.
!! Tropes:
* AuthorAvatar: Is Yerdian's usual mouthpiece; additionally, Cuntons [[TakeOurWordForIt allegedly]] [[StalkerWithoutACrush stalking and harassing her in an attempt to silence her]] is based on Yerdian's [[http://archive.is/2TGtn account of a conflict]] between herself and a critic.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Meta character-wise, she is supposed to be seen as the NiceGirl heroine of the story, however, non-vegans (along with non-extreme vegans) find her to be condescending, intolerant, and unsympathetic to those who don't agree with her views.
* CainAndAbel: Has this dynamic with her brother, Shawn, due to her being a vegan while he is a dedicated meat eater. Since the comic always sides with the vegans, Shawn is portrayed as the Cain while Brie/Plausibell is the Abel.
* DeadpanSnarker: [[CharacterizationMarchesOn Early in the comic]], she was more sarcastic until Yerdian dropped that aspect of her in order to make her [[InformedKindness nicer.]]
* DumbBlonde: [[InformedAttribute Supposedly averted,]] since she is ''[[DesignatedHero never]]'' treated as being wrong about anything, ''[[CreatorsPet ever]]''.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The narrative of the comic depicts [[DesignatedHero Brie/Plausibell]] as being the more responsible sibling due to her status as a vegan and is portrayed as always have the better argument for her stances, in comparison to her brother Shawn, who is seen as the foolist sibling.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Averted; she gets along well with her younger sister Cherry, presumably because Cherry is a fellow vegan.
* GranolaGirl: Like the other female vegans, she is depicted as one.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Seen as this by the narrative. For those that don't agree with her dogmatic views, she subverts this trope.
* IronicName: Her former name, Brie, also happens to be the name of a type of cheese, a decidedly non-vegan food. This may have something to do with her SuddenNameChange.
* InformedKindness: While she is billed as absolute angels of sweetness and compassion, she can more accurately be described as sanctimonious, mean-spirited, and underhanded.
* MeaningfulName: Her new name, Plausibell, was most likely intended to invoke this. In light of her being an AuthorAvatar whose purpose is to spout propaganda, [[IronicName it comes off as quite the opposite]].
* NiceGirl: Meant to be an example of this, shown by her refusal to eat meat and her love of animals. However, she averts this for anyone who doesn't agree with the views of the comic.
* NotSoDifferent: Even though the narrative tries to paint her as being morally better than her "carnist" brother, [[DesignatedVillain Shawn]], she has shown she can be just as [[SmugSnake smug]] and rude as him on many occassions.
*PimpedOutDress: Frequently seen wearing one.
* SiblingRivalry: She and Shawn are often shown butting heads with each other on the issues of veganism and omnivorism. Shawn sometimes tries to [[http://archive.is/71oXC troll his sister with meat-eating comments]], while Brie/Plausibell decries [[http://archive.is/dYDXq his omnivorous diet]].
