Moving tropes from Characters Page

Added DiffLines:

* BigBrotherInstinct: Marnax Three is extremely protective of her niece, Kate when it comes to boyfriends, to the point that when Kate and [[{{Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann}} Kamina]] faked a relationship as a prank, she [[spoiler: literally exploded from sheer rage.]]


Added DiffLines:

* DeathsHourglass: When asked by someone how much time the person has left, Mortimer would consult the respective hourglass before giving a (mostly vague) answer.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Determinator}}: Nash kept killing the piss out of raiders even after getting blown the fuck up by two nests of landmines. Not to mention all the bullets he'd soaked up beforehand.


Added DiffLines:

* NotAfraidToDie: Nash, in his own words:
-->'''Shining Armor''': "And as for not fearing death.. there is a difference between not fearing it and actively seeking it..."
-->'''Nash''': "True, but I'm more indifferent towards death than anything. If I manage to survive an engagement, sweet! Another victory under my belt. If I get killed, oh well. Valhalla awaits."


Added DiffLines:

* ThePowerOfRock: Nash is firm believer in it. He'll often blast heavy metal in battle, and uses the Flying V mentioned above whenever bullets and blades are proving ineffective in battle. Or just when he gets bored.

* CityOfAdventure: Ponyville.
** Also Cloudsdale and Canterlot have been subjected to this several times.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Occasionally. Crossover characters in particular tend to come from places less friendly than Equestria.
* DebutQueue: Justified.
