History Sandbox / CharactersCloseToYourHeart

* ColourfulThemeNaming: Each of the knights have names associated with [[ColorCodedCharacters the color each of them are]]. Cyan is light-blue, Flax is yellow, Cider is orange and Shamrock is green.
* LightIsGood: They are all pastel-colored and they keep the artifact safe from the wrong hands in a white temple.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation:

* AmbiguouslyGay: ().
* ShockAndAwe: He has yellow lightning powers.

* SadClown:

* TheBigGuy:
* SuperStrength:

* FusionDance: With the knights' help, the two can fuse into a larger mech that looks like Hydro with added wings, and gold and white enhancements. They can shoot a stronger blast [[FastballSpecial that consists of the knights]] towards Cuda's machine.
* HumongousMecha: They appear as giant mechs in their debut as they fight Cuda's machine. [[spoiler:The two's enlarged appearances are due to them possessing the other two artifacts, which are {{Amplifier Artifact}}s, and once they remove it from themselves, they shrink to default size.]]
* SentientVehicle: Downplayed. Hydro (or [[ShapedLikeItself Boat]]) is modelled after a boat while Heli is modelled off a helicopter, but they're more anthromorphic. Although their default forms appear closer to their counterparts from the original game, they're far too small for vehicular use.

* ManipulativeBastard:

!!Blixer/Boss/New Fresh

* AdorablyPrecociousChild:

* DoesNotLikeSpam: He dislikes vegetables. [[ Cabbages especially]].

Two giant mechs of vehicular appearance. They were found in the woods in a bandits' wagon and taken in by the knights.

* FusionDance:

* DeadpanSnarker: His single
* ManipulativeBastard:

!!Blixer/"Boss"/New Fresh

* AmbiguouslyGay:

* SentientVehicle: Downplayed. Hydro (or [[ShapedLikeItself Boat]]) is modelled after a boat while Heli is modelled off a helicopter, but they're more anthromorphic.()

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: This civilisation shows that citizens come in way more shapes and sizes than just that of the main characters.

* SinisterScythe: She wields a large scythe that she has yet to use, but it's clearly based from the game's bonus boss that uses a scythe as a weapon.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: What starts his introduction as the jokester of the knights is ().

* {{Telepathy}}:

* HumongousMecha: They appear as giant mechs, as tall as (), in their debut as they fight Cuda's machine. [[spoiler:The two's enlarged appearances are due to them possessing the other two artifacts, which are {{Amplifier Artifact}}s, and once they remove it from themselves, they shrink to default size.]]

* AnimalMotifs:
** Blixer looks like a cat (since his design in the game is inspired off one(?)), which is taken a step further in the mini-comics "Blixer is a Freaking Cat" and "Cube Force", which feature Blixer as a {{talking|animal}} cat.
** Cuda's main weapon arsenal consists of mechanical snakes which he often controls and even hears with.

** Cuda wants the artifact's power to TakeOverTheWorld, but not to needlessly hurt anyone, and the times he had to along the way are his hidden regrets. [[spoiler:He is completely unaware that the artifact is connected to Cube, and when he tries to break the artifact for its power and realises that he's hurting her, he wants to stop, but [[IveComeTooFar tearfully presses on so that all his efforts would not go to waste]].]]

* TheRival:

* DeadpanSnarker:

Blixer's top minion and sidekick. ()

* CordonBleughChef: Zigzagged. His dishes are rather atrocious combinations of ingredients, but no one complains about the taste. In the mini-comic "Blixer and Lycan Make Soup", however, he and Blixer keep adding stuff to Lycan's soup because it's missing something, but the final concoction tastes so horrendous that they blow it up with a cannon.

* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: The mini-comics have him pursing his dream to be a princess.
** "Lycan Wants To Be a Princess"

* ShipperOnDeck:

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: 
* MoralityPet: While Cuda isn't completely bad, he's pragmatic in his operations. Rave is the only one Cuda is completely nice to, and Cuda will protect him at all costs.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: This civilisation shows that shapes come in way more shapes and sizes than just that of the main characters.
* DarkAndTroubledPast:? TownWithADarkSecret?

* NiceGuy:

* DoesNotLikeSpam: Interestingly, as a fruit seller, he hates vegetables. [[ Cabbages especially]].
* ExtremeDoormat:
* NervousWreck:

* CleavageWindow: Practically all of her outfits give a view of the top of her chest.
* MsFanservice:

This character sheet includes those found in the ''Just Shapes & Beats'' fan webcomic series ''Close To Your Heart'', from both the main story and the mini-comics.

The knights, mechs and guardian, who reside in an isolated temple in which they protect an artifact of great power.

* CharacterEstablishingMoment: What starts his introduction as the jokester of the knights is ().

* CorruptTheCutie: [[spoiler:]]

Two giant mechs of vehicular appearance. They were found in their default forms in the woods in a trespassers' wagon and taken in by the knights.

* AntiVillain: Despite their ambition to obtain the artifact making most of the story's conflict, neither of the bad guys are as truly malevolent.
** Despite how stand-offish Blixer seems, he wants the artifact to make the world in his own image to avoid being bossed around. Where he used to live, others never accepted him for who he was, which is why he and Lycan decided to get away and live by themselves. Blixer starts [[MotiveDecay rethinking his motives to have the artifact's power]] when he realises that [[LoveRedeems he's in love with Cube]].

* CordonBleughChef: Zigzagged.
* EliteMook: He looks just like the rest of Blixer's minions, only that he's way more expressive and implied to be the commander of the others, who appear to behave like a HiveMind.

* AdorablyPrecociousChild:

!!!Town Paradise residents

!!Sam/"Sam the Fruit Seller"
A blue town resident who sells fruit for a living. 

!Antagonists

!!Mini-comic characters

!!Main characters

* {{Foil}}:
* PsychoPink: All the antagonists are pink and black, and shapes that get "corrupted" turn pink [[spoiler:(like Cube)]]. [[ It is explained that]] in this world, shapes can be born pink, in a sense alike to a genetic mutation, and possess abilities unlike other shapes. This is due to the artifact being corrupted in the past.
