* CardCarryingVillain: The Sheriff knows full well he's a villain and doesn't hide it from anyone, casually telling people he's evil when the opportunity arises. Bertram and Prince John are similar, but it's harder to tell for them where the line is drawn between villainy and [[ManChild immaturity]].


Added DiffLines:

* PuppetKing: Prince John is only in power because he's King Richard's brother and the Sheriff needs to take advantage of that to hold his position.
