* BrokenPedestal: Like many other painters he idolized the Dreamwatch and dreamt of becoming part of their group. This image was shattered upon realizing that the group is actually comprised of people who got in through connections rather than any skill of their own.

* TooUpsetToCreate: a combination of being rejected by the Dreamwatch, falling out with his friends and facing the mundane reality of being a nightmare painter completely smothered what passion he used to feel for his craft. By the time the story starts, Painter has defaulted to just painting bamboo for the sheer practicality of it.

* GentleGiant: A large man who takes pride in his body and size. Despite that he is still very gentle and actually quite shy.
* ShirtlessScene: Takes off his shirt in the middle of a resturant ( much to Yumi's shock) to show off the gains of his bodybuilding regimen to his exercise buddies.

* AIIsACrapshoot: The scholars programmed it to stack rocks, attract and imprison spirits, and then convert those spirits into power for itself and whatever else . Thanks to a mistake in the programming, it saw the souls of the humans around it as viable power sources, and proceeded to rip out and consume those souls for an initial power boost. It went on to imprison every free spirit on the planet, trapped the fourteen ''yoki-hijo'' in an AmnesiaLoop, and then went on stacking rocks for the next seventeen centuries.

!!Nikarro

An isolated and rather EmoTeen who likes to pretend that he is some legendary hero rather than an exterminator who went to art school.
----
* MyGreatestFailure: He applied for a position with the Dreamwatch, and was so certain he would be able to get in that he and his friends built their plans for the future around that assumption. Not only was he rejected, but he then refused to admit that to his friends and pretended for most of a year that he ''had'' been accepted.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: When he first encountered the stable nightmare, he could have run away. In fact, that's what he was ''supposed'' to do: run away and alert the Dreamwatch. Instead, he challenged the nightmare and managed to rescue the boy it was threatening.
* WrongGenreSavvy: As Hoid points out in his narration, the story of Yumi and the Nightmare Painter was clearly supposed to end on a tragic note, with Yumi sacrificing herself to destroy the Father Machine and save the world. Painter, however, refuses to acknowledge that and instead paints Yumi back to life.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: While the father machine is able to erase her memories each day, her rock-stacking skills gradually improve and eventually reach awe-inspiring levels.
* PhysicalGod: According to Design's Investiture-scanner, she holds a tremendous amount of Investiture, more than even a [[Literature/{{Warbreaker}} Returned]] or an [[Literature/{{Elantris}} Elantrian]]. When she finally calls on her full power, she is able to reshape fragments of the shroud and dominate nightmares with nothing more than sheer force of will.
* WorldsBestCharacter: Thanks to seventeen centuries of practice, she is the single best rock-stacker ever to exist, and almost certainly the best one who ever will exist.
