| 14 | |
| 15 | Treat is the protagonist of the first and fifth game. She is an outcast in the bunny village due to her being a wolf, so she moves in an abandoned cabin nearby. Her life changes when a little bunny comes running into her house... |
| 16 | ---- |
| 17 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: This is her reaction to [[spoiler:Moxie's prank]] in the Mochi ending of "Date Treat". |
| 18 | * AgainstTheGrain: The whole story happens because Treat doesn't want to go through with the wolves' tradition called a moon ceremony and have one soulmate, as she has polyamorous feelings and wouldn't be happy with one. |
| 19 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: When she first moves in near Frosting, she's ostracized by all the rabbits for being a wolf. They would insult her everytime she came to Danny's store and demand she stops coming. |
| 20 | * ApologizesALot: A cupboard in Treat's cabin contains a pile of written apologies addressed to the cabin's real owner, since she's been staying there without permission and all. She's also exceedingly apologetic in general, as it is her default response to being discriminated against by rabbits. |
| 21 | * AscendedExtra: Treat first appeared in ''VisualNovel/SyrupAndTheUltimateSweet'' as a minor character. |
| 22 | * BadassAdorable: Treat is a gentle wolf who look endearing, but Salt and Pepper learned the hard way this doesn't mean she's a weakling. |
| 23 | * BadassPacifist: She only had to show up to scare off Moxie. Also in the second game, you can choose to not hit Salt and Pepper and they will eventually stop fighting her and let Juju go. |
| 24 | * BadLiar: |
| 25 | ** Moxie is able to see through her embarrassed attempts to cover up her feelings for Mochi very easily. This is possibly why she hates keeping secrets. |
| 26 | ** This is also highlighted in one of the endings of ''DATE MOXIE'' where she admits to trying to prank Moxie and how wrong it felt for her to lie to her friends. |
| 27 | * BeautifulDreamer: When Treat wonders why Mochi didn't wake her up early to buy seeds for the garden, Mochi says it's because of the cutesy sleepy face Treat has, much to the wolf's embarrassment. |
| 28 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Mochi was the first rabbit to be nice to Treat, and the two grow very close as a result. |
| 29 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Treat is usually a NiceGirl and an ExtremeDoormat, but in the second game, we find out that she's strong enough to knock down two foxes if provoked. |
| 30 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: As detailed above, you do not want to provoke her wrath. |
| 31 | * BigDamnHeroes: She comes to Juju's rescue when she's about to be eaten by Salt and Pepper. Unfortunately, not only is Juju ungrateful, but she also kicks Mochi out of Frosting following an argument about the incident. |
| 32 | * BodyguardCrush: Downplayed. Treat only ever acts as a bodyguard for Mochi in the first game, first scaring off Moxie for the rabbit then accompanying her into fox territory to buy meat for the curry, and it appears the wolf girl was the first of the two to catch feelings. |
| 33 | * BreakoutCharacter: According to Nami, one of the reasons that inspired the series' creation was Treat's popularity even when she was just a minor character in her first appearance on ''VisualNovel/SyrupAndTheUltimateSweet''. |
| 34 | * BreakTheCutie: |
| 35 | ** The plot of the first game start with Treat being isolated from her pack, getting insulted by racist rabbits ''and'' moving into an abandoned cabin where she almost starves. It only gets worse from there. |
| 36 | ** Happens again in the sixth game where she blames herself for [[spoiler:the destruction of Mochi's garden]]. |
| 37 | ** And again, albeit it briefly, in Chapter 7. Treat accidentally reveals that [[spoiler:Mochi's uncle Mango has been living with her pack when his family thought he was eaten by them, causing Mochi distress]], and Treat to feel guilty. |
| 38 | * BrutalHonesty: While she's normally too nice or flustered to display this trait, Treat can still surprise other characters with it. Moxie even lampshades it to Fennel: |
| 39 | -->'''Moxie:''' You never know with Treat. Sometimes, she just goes ahead and says exactly what's on her mind. |
| 40 | * CannotSpitItOut: |
| 41 | ** Treat was unable to tell Fennel (and by extension, her whole pack) that she doesn't want to be stuck with one partner because she feels she'll be happier with more partners. This is what leads to her running away and kickstarting the plot. |
| 42 | ** She finds herself struggling to admit her true feelings to Mochi due to a combination of shyness, insecurity and fear. It isn't until the fifth chapter that she overcomes this thanks to Moxie's help. |
| 43 | * CannotTellAJoke: In ''DATE TREAT'', one of the endings has [[spoiler:Treat unintentionally dragging Moxie to the Netherworld because she failed to reveal her prank by saying "April Fools"]]. |
| 44 | * CassandraTruth: None of the rabbits believe that she genuinely means no harm, even after she's been living near them for a while and only eating instant noodles. Mochi is instantly convinced upon meeting her, while Danny takes some time to accept it. |
| 45 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: In her first appearance on ''VisualNovel/SyrupAndTheUltimateSweet'', Treat seems more like a stern PerpetualFrowner. |
| 46 | * ClassicalAntiHero: Although she is sweet, Treat is plagued with self-doubt for being different than her peers when it comes to romantic feelings and due to discrimination from rabbits. Her journey to learn to love herself for who she is and embrace it forms a great portion of the story. |
| 47 | * TheComicallySerious: Treat's minimal or complete lack of reactions can sometimes result in humorous moments, such as [[LittleNo her plain and simple negative response]] to Mochi's question about being eaten when they first met, or her blunt CantKillYouStillNeedYou answer to Moxie wondering why she would buy chicken for curry when she can simply eat Mochi. |
| 48 | * CrushBlush: She's the one most prone to blushing out of the main characters, due to her shyness and later, crushes on Mochi and Moxie. |
| 49 | * CulturalRebel: In ''Dreaming Treat'', Treat reveals to Mochi why she ran away from her pack: Wolves have a tradition known as the moon ceremony, which is similar to a wedding, and wolves are required to choose their one true soulmate for this event. Treat, however, felt like it would be lying to herself if she went through with it because she dreamed of being happy in a polygamous relationship. |
| 50 | * CurbStompBattle: In ''Friendly Bunny Mochi'', she hands Salt and Pepper a beating that leaves them knocked out in one hit. |
| 51 | * DeadpanSnarker: |
| 52 | ** She's almost always too nice or timid to snark, but the seventh game actually has her ribbing Moxie lightly. A standout comment is her response to the fox's reassurance that she can still keep going after complaining about the long hike to Treat's pack: |
| 53 | -->'''Treat:''' Oh. You just wanted to complain. |
| 54 | ** An earlier example can be seen in Chapter 1 if you interact with Pepper, who tells Treat that the foxes only moved near Frosting to eat rabbits, despite having plenty to eat. The wolf girl responds: |
| 55 | -->'''Treat:''' [[BrutalHonesty Ah... In other words, you're all lazy]]. |
| 56 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Mochi is able to slowly break Treat out of her timid shell after becoming friends and Treat developing a crush on the bunny girl. |
| 57 | * TheDitherer: The Insecure/Submissive type. Treat's timid nature makes it hard for her to make even simple decisions: |
| 58 | ** For example, if you go to the vending machine near the end of ''Mochi in Frosting'', Treat will ask Mochi to choose a snack for her. |
| 59 | ** Another instance in ''Lucky Number Moxie'' is her inability to pick clothes from Gen's shop, even worrying about "picking wrong". |
| 60 | * DontYouDarePityMe: Treat never outright says it but in the first game, she briefly asks Mochi if she's making curry for her [[CondescendingCompassion out of pity]] following a conversation with Danny, who questioned why Mochi brought a wolf into the store. |
| 61 | * EmotionallyTongueTied: Whenever Treat is trying to speak about something intimate, she gets flustered and begins stuttering. |
| 62 | * EmotionlessGirl: Compared to GenkiGirl Mochi and LargeHam Moxie, Treat is much cooler in her disposition, though her emotionless frame of mind starts fading thanks to CharacterDevelopment. |
| 63 | * EmotionSuppression: Even after falling in love with Mochi, Treat tried to ignore her feelings and push them away out of fear that if she'd hurt Mochi somehow in their relationship, she'd have nowhere else to go. |
| 64 | * EroticDream: She starts to have these in ''Dreaming Treat'' involving both Mochi and Moxie. At one point, she dreams that the three of them are at the hot springs, and a prompt comes up to choose between either one, or both to go in the bath with. |
| 65 | * ExtremeDoormat: Treat never makes any effort to defend herself from the racism coming her way from the rabbits, because she doesn't want to live up to the bad reputation that wolves have. |
| 66 | * TheEeyore: She pretty much spends the majority of the first game being sad all the time because of her running away from her pack and the verbal abuse she receives from rabbits. It's only after meeting a GenkiGirl like Mochi that Treat's demeanor starts turning around for the better. |
| 67 | * FantasticRacism: Treat is constantly on the receiving end of this from most bunnies living in Frosting due to their xenophobia. |
| 68 | * FriendlyAddressPrivileges: When she encounters Gumdrop again in Chapter 5 and she starts referring to her as Miss Treat, the wolf girl reminds her that there's no need for such formalities. |
| 69 | * FreudianTrio: Treat is the unemotional, quiet Superego. |
| 70 | * FurryReminder: When Mochi asks her to sing together in Chapter 5, Treat is hesitant and ends up letting out a sheepish howl. |
| 71 | * GloomyGray: She's a gray wolf with a rather somber personality, though she later becomes less so thanks to Mochi. |
| 72 | * GoodIsNotSoft: We've only seen it once so far but when Treat gets serious at stopping people from doing something terrible, '''SHE. DOESN'T. MESS. AROUND'''. |
| 73 | * GrewASpine: Her character arc is focused on Treat becoming more open and confident about doing what makes her happy, specifically that she desires to have more than one partner and admitting to her pack about it. |
| 74 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Treat tries to turn down Mochi's offer of curry because she doesn't think she did anything worth being repaid for, despite the bunny's insistence that she really did help out. |
| 75 | * HiddenDepths: At the very end of ''Lucky Number Moxie'', Mochi urges Moxie to join everyone else playing cards, then tells her that Treat has a really good poker face. |
| 76 | * HomeschooledKids: [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/80/ This page]] from the webcomic reveals that Treat was homeschooled. Being from a WanderingCulture, it likely would have been difficult for her to go to a public school. |
| 77 | * IAmWhatIAm: By Chapter 7, Treat has gathered the courage to see her pack again and explain why she ran away, as well as introducing Mochi and Moxie as her girlfriends. While her parents aren't onboard at first, seeing their daughter's earnestness about her relationship slowly eases them into accepting it. |
| 78 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: All the hurtful words she heard from the rabbits in Frosting left her thinking that maybe she does deserve to be ostracized because of her species, and she confesses to Mochi that she only wants to be seen as a normal, good person. |
| 79 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: When Moxie in confused on why Treat won't eat Mochi instead of trying to buy meat for curry. The obvious answer is that Treat doesn't want to eat anybody, but she instead bluntly states that she won't know how to make curry on her own. Mochi is hurt by this. |
| 80 | * InsecureLoveInterest: In the final act of ''Dreaming Treat'', Treat finally reveals why she's been trying to ignore her feelings for Mochi all this time: The circumstances that led to Mochi moving in with her in the first place. Treat fears that if she ever got in a fight with Mochi, the latter would have nowhere to go, though Mochi assures her that she can't imagine they'd get in a fight. |
| 81 | * InternalizedCategorism: Briefly, in the first chapter, Treat considers the possibility that she ''deserves'' to be ostracized by the rabbits because being a wolf makes her inherently bad, even though the only "bad" thing she has done at that point is telling Juju to shut up. Suffering constant racial harassment for two whole months really left her in a sorry state. |
| 82 | * InterspeciesFriendship: So far, Treat has become friends with rabbits, foxes, mice, an owl, a human, a candy golem, and possibly a cat and a witch or two. Not so lonely anymore, huh? |
| 83 | * InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler:She and Mochi finally decide to become an OfficialCouple in the sixth game]] and the ''indulgence'' comic focuses on them after the events of that game. She's also been involved with Moxie, as detailed in the ''delicacy'' comic. |
| 84 | * ItsAllMyFault: Poor Treat feels really guilty about keeping Mochi around when an unknown wolf-hater [[spoiler:wrecks Mochi's garden]], and Mochi has to keep reassuring her that it's not her fault. Later on, after Treat accidentally reveals that [[spoiler:Mochi's family lied to her about the death of her uncle Mango]], she breaks into tears thinking she brought everyone's mood down. She's very sensitive when it comes to Mochi. |
| 85 | * KeepingSecretsSucks: She doesn't like keeping secrets, but still did so when Moxie asked her not to tell Mochi that she's living in a tent. |
| 86 | * KeepTheReward: This is Treat's reaction to Mochi's curry offer after scaring off Moxie in the first game, because Treat felt like she didn't do much to be repaid, though Mochi's persistence (and the promise of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood meat]]) wins her over in the end. |
| 87 | * {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://soundcloud.com/nomnomnami/lonely-wolf-1 Lonely Wolf]]'' and ''[[https://soundcloud.com/nomnomnami/date-treat Date Treat]]''. She also shares ''[[https://soundcloud.com/nomnomnami/our-home Our Home]]'' with Mochi. |
| 88 | * LetsGetDangerous: When Juju is captured and almost eaten by Salt and Pepper, Treat changes from the quiet ShrinkingViolet she usually is to a determined, fearless wolf who's ready to confront two foxes on her own and potentially take them down in one hit. |
| 89 | * LittleNo: Her response to Mochi fearing that she'll be eaten is a nonchalant, matter-of-factly "I won't". |
| 90 | * LonerTurnedFriend: By the end of the first chapter, Treat made friends with Mochi, the very first friend she had outside her pack. |
| 91 | * LoveConfession: [[spoiler:With Moxie's help, Treat is able to build the confidence to admit her feelings for Mochi, as well as explain why she was so hesitant to do so in the first place]]. |
| 92 | * LoveConfessor: Moxie was the one Treat turned to when her feelings for Mochi became overwhelming, not that Moxie was surprised with the confession since she already guessed Treat loves Mochi. |
| 93 | * MasturbationMeansSexualFrustration: Alluded to in the ''delicacy'' comic. Treat suffers from pent-up feelings towards Mochi after having lived together with her for two months, and she needs Moxie's help to relieve those feelings because trying to "deal with it" herself is not enough. |
| 94 | * MinoredInAssKicking: Treat is mostly a reserved girl, so it's a surprise when she knocks down Salt and Pepper in one hit if you choose to fight them. |
| 95 | * MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: All the rabbits view the lonely wolf living in the cabin nearby as an evil, vile creature planning to eat them all at any given moment. When Mochi meets Treat, she's pleasantly surprised to find out that none of what her peers fear is true. |
| 96 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: Treat's slim appearance is commented on by Mochi in the first game, but apparently that doesn't stop her from being able to take down two foxes in one hit. |
| 97 | * MustMakeAmends: After running away from her pack unannounced and causing grief and worry for her parents, friends and ex-girlfriend, Treat resolves to go see them again and explain herself after gaining the courage to pursue her dream of having more than one soulmate. |
| 98 | * NiceGirl: Mochi constantly reminds her how nice she is to not just her, but to everyone. Indeed, Treat is nice to a fault. |
| 99 | * NiceMeanAndInBetween: Treat is the in-between one. She is not mean-spirited like Moxie, but she also doesn't go out of her way to be nice to people, like Mochi does. |
| 100 | * NobleWolf: Treat doesn't live up to the bad reputation wolves have ''at all'', although she did show herself to be strong once so messing with her is probably not a good idea. |
| 101 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: After Juju kicks Mochi out of Frosting, Treat invites her to live together. This ends up backfiring in Chapter 5 when [[spoiler:an unknown assailant destroys the garden they've been working on and sends Mochi into a mental breakdown]], much to Treat's guilt. |
| 102 | * NoMouth: Her mouth is covered up by her winter coat when she wears it, adding to her expressionless, quiet nature. |
| 103 | * TheNoseKnows: As a wolf, Treat possesses a sharp sense of smell, and can even recognize the scent of magic. This ability comes into play in ''Syrup and the Ultimate Sweet'', but only gets a passing mention in the ''Treat'' series. ''Date Treat'' also suggests that Treat can recognize Mochi by her scent. |
| 104 | * NoSenseOfHumor: Downplayed. Treat isn't devoid of humor and can appreciate jokes, but in the Moxie ending of "Date Treat", [[spoiler:she doesn't have much of a reaction to Moxie's prank on her, merely stating that the fox has an odd sense of humor]], though in the Mochi ending, she will say that the whole thing was pretty funny when she thought about it [[spoiler:after Mochi unmasks herself]]. |
| 105 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Normally Treat is the down-to-earth one between herself, Mochi and Moxie, reacting to hijinks with appropriate reason. [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/313/ One instance]] where she didn't was in "Another Piece of Candy" where Moxie's game of RockPaperScissors with Trick was getting intense and Treat was spectating with a gleeful smile of anticipation, whereas Mochi was the one who intervened to stop it before it went too far. |
| 106 | * NotSoWeak: At the beginning of the series, Treat has very low self-esteem and doesn't bother defending herself from the bullying of the rabbits. However, when Juju tries to scold Mochi for associating with a wolf, Treat steps up to defend her. |
| 107 | * OddNameOut: |
| 108 | ** The only one in her family whose name does not start with a C. |
| 109 | ** She's also the only main character without an I in her name. |
| 110 | * OneHitKO: If you choose to fight Salt and Pepper, Treat knocks them both out in one blow. |
| 111 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In Friendly Bunny Mochi, she looks unusually angry when rescuing Juju from Salt and Pepper, before proceeding to show that she's unexpectedly strong by taking them down in one hit. |
| 112 | * OverlyNarrowSuperlative: Annie and May care very much about her, because she is their star employee. Sure, she is also their ''only'' employee, but she is still a star to them. |
| 113 | * {{Polyamory}}: It's been hinted several times that Treat has feelings for both Mochi and Moxie, and in ''Dreaming Treat'', she finally reveals to Mochi why she ran away from her pack: [[spoiler:she was afraid of being trapped in monogamy]]. |
| 114 | * PoorCommunicationKills: |
| 115 | ** Treat's unannounced departure affected Fennel the most out of the wolf pack. Because they were dating, Fennel thought Treat hates her. |
| 116 | ** She also didn't think to bring up that a rabbit is living with her pack to Mochi. [[spoiler:Said rabbit turns out to be Mochi's uncle and Juju's missing father. Mochi is angry when she finds out, but not at Treat, thankfully]]. |
| 117 | * PrimAndProperBun: When she's working in the hot springs, she puts her hair into one of these. |
| 118 | * ProtagonistTitle: While all four main characters have this for their individual games, the series is NamedAfterFirstInstallment, which is Treat's game. |
| 119 | * TheQuietOne: Because she is exceedingly shy, Treat is a wolf of few words. |
| 120 | * RedOniBlueOni: The withdrawn, quiet and shy blue to Mochi's, Moxie's and Trick's energetic and outgoing red. |
| 121 | * RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler:As of "Dreaming Treat", she's officially girlfriends with Mochi and Moxie, just like she always wanted]]. |
| 122 | * RememberedTooLate: In the Netherland ending of ''DATE MOXIE'', Treat convinces Moxie that the government is hunting her, and the two have to escape into the Netherworld together. After they reach the Netherworld and Moxie wanders off with Eleni and Kamilla, Treat suddenly remembers that she was supposed to say "April Fools". |
| 123 | * TheRunaway: The story is kicked off by Treat running away from her pack and being unable to come back due to an avalanche. Her reasons for running away were [[spoiler:feelings of inadequacy as a wolf for being unable to go through with a ceremony to be together with one partner because she feels happy with more than one]]. |
| 124 | * SaveTheJerk: In the second game, Juju is captured by Salt and Pepper so they can eat her. Despite Juju's mistreatment of her, Treat wastes no time coming to her aid, but unfortunately, [[UngratefulBitch Juju still hates her]]. |
| 125 | * SecretKeeper: Treat is aware that [[spoiler:Moxie became homeless after the events of the third game]] but the fox insisted on not telling Mochi as to not worry her, and Treat complied even though she normally [[KeepingSecretsSucks hates keeping secrets]]. |
| 126 | * ShipTease: In the fifth game, Treat has a dream where she has to marry either Mochi, Moxie, or Trick. Considering Mochi and Moxie are Treat's primary love interests, the fact that Trick is also there has certain implications. The seventh chapter confirms that Treat ''thought'' she had feelings for Trick, but it was different from the feelings she has for Mochi and Moxie. Plus, [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/113/ Trick is aromantic]], so [[IncompatibleOrientation it's not like they could have returned her feelings anyway]]. |
| 127 | * ShrinkingViolet: Painfully quiet and shy and while she proved she can be dangerous if she wants to, Treat doesn't want to prove the rabbits' paranoia to be true. |
| 128 | * ShutUpHannibal: |
| 129 | ** Treat stands up to Juju for Mochi in the first game after she started berating her for hanging out with a wolf. |
| 130 | ** She gives another short one to Juju at the end of the second game, after the latter kicks Mochi out of Frosting. |
| 131 | -->'''Treat:''' ...You'll regret this. |
| 132 | -->'''Juju:''' What are you gonna do? Beat me up like you did to those foxes? I know you're like them, waiting for an excuse. |
| 133 | -->'''Treat:''' No, it isn't worth it. |
| 134 | * SpannerInTheWorks: ''Almost'' unintentionally ruins Moxie's money-making scheme in "Clever Fox Moxie'' by unexpectedly showing up to buy food and scaring one of the cats staying there. Moxie quickly saves by claiming she was another actress who showed up at the wrong time because they aren't doing her part of the story yet. |
| 135 | * StraightMan: Usually plays this role to Moxie as the foxgirl gets a lot of mileage out of teasing Treat and embarrassing her for laughs. |
| 136 | * StrongerThanTheyLook: Turns out her meek demeanor doesn't apply to her physical prowess in a fight. This is even lampshaded by Salt and Pepper immediately after getting their butts kicked. [[spoiler:With the later implication that wolves have a stronger form when they hunt]], that might explain this. |
| 137 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler:In Bad End 1, Tundra seemingly mistake her for a younger Candy before realizing Treat's her daughter instead, further commenting that she looks just like her mother]]. |
| 138 | * TastesLikeFriendship: She initially becomes friends with Mochi after the latter made curry for her. |
| 139 | * TheTeamBenefactor: As of chapter 3, she's the one who works to provide money for herself and Mochi, who can only rely on her parents for money. |
| 140 | * TerribleArtist: |
| 141 | ** There are drawings hanging in Treat's cabin that she and Mochi did, and if Treat interacts with them in ''Dreaming Treat'', Treat will say that Mochi is a better artist. Then again, this is [[HeroicSelfDeprecation Treat]] we're talking about so it might not be the case. In ''Mochi in Frosting'', if Mochi examines the drawings, she says that she likes Treat's art style and calls it "simple, but unique". |
| 142 | ** A strip in ''another piece of candy'' gives us more insight. As Moxie puts it, Treat's not actually half bad but her style is still...odd enough for Mochi and Moxie to incredulously comment on it. [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/81/ See for yourself]]. Of course, that strip takes place long before ''Dreaming Treat'', so it's possible that her drawing skills have improved since then. |
| 143 | * ThinkNothingOfIt: She brushes off Mochi's praise for helping her deal with Moxie because she doesn't believe she did anything praiseworthy, much less reward-worthy. |
| 144 | * ThrowTheDogABone: After enduring so much, from racism and hatred to feeling like a bad wolf for not being able the way tradition demands, Treat finally seems to find some peace around the sixth and seventh chapter, where she finally confesses to Mochi about her feelings and the two plus Moxie form an official polycule. She also makes up with Fennel, and while her parents aren't entirely okay with her being in a three-way relationship, they still make efforts to understand her feelings and be happy for her. |
| 145 | * TookALevelInCheerfulness: After meeting Mochi, Treat learns to be more upbeat. |
| 146 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Her status in the first game lists meat at her favorite. Curry also becomes her favorite to the point where she suggests planting onions in the garden for it in the fifth game. |
| 147 | * TranquilFury: The only time she's ever been remotely angry is in the second game when facing off against Salt and Pepper and even then, Treat remains calm despite the angry expression on her face. |
| 148 | * TroubledFetalPosition: Treat sits like this with Mochi near the end of Chapter 1 while gloomily explaining how she ended up living next to Frosting. |
| 149 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Treat is completely unfazed by a bunny running into her cabin all panicky and casually tells her she won't eat her. |
| 150 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:In Bad End 1, Glaze ends up with one more mouth to feed when Treat joins them, so Timber is forced to go out and hunt rabbit for food, which leads to him finding and killing Boreas. In other words, Treat unintentionally causes Boreas's death in this ending.]]. |
| 151 | * WhenSheSmiles: |
| 152 | ** A flashback in ''Wandering Wolf Trick'' shows that Treat was confused about Trick's perpetual optimism despite losing their master who raised them. Trick explains that they're able to stay optimistic because they know that they can still smile even when they're down. Trick then tells Treat that she should smile more often. |
| 153 | ** The first time we do see Treat smiling in-game is at [[EndsWithASmile the end of the first game]], after Mochi leaves while promising to try and make everyone friends with each other. |
| 154 | * {{Workaholic}}: Implied. In "Dreaming Treat", if you try heading for the hot springs instead of the [=InsteRail=] station, Mochi will remind Treat that it's her day off. Treat says that she got so used to work that her legs moved on their own, to which Mochi replies to with gratitude that the wolf has been taking more days off. |
| 155 | * YouCantGoHomeAgain: The plot is kicked off when Treat gets separated from her pack by an avalanche, preventing her from returning home and forcing her to find shelter in a vacant cabin near Frosting. And even though the snow is gone in the spring, Treat still can't return home because she has to take care of Mochi. |
| 156 | * YourTraditionIsNotMine: The moon ceremony practiced by wolves requires them to pick their one soulmate for the rest of their life. Treat was too scared to go through with it because being trapped in monogamy troubled her feelings, so she ran away. |

| 166 | Mochi is the protagonist of the second and sixth game. She was one of the many rabbits who lived in the village and were scared of predators. One day, she is unable to go home because a fox is blocking her way, so she runs into Treat who scares the fox off. And that's how their friendship started. |
| 167 | ---- |
| 168 | * AllForNothing: Her efforts to ease tensions between rabbits and foxes end up being for naught when Juju is almost eaten by Salt and Pepper, resulting in a wall being built around Frosting and a complete ban on all non-rabbits. |
| 169 | * AllJustAPrank: [[spoiler:The April Fools ending of ''DATE MOCHI'' has her reveal that she captured you as a prank and was never planning on actually murdering you]]. |
| 170 | * AllLovingHeroine: She genuinely believes that everyone can be friends. [[TookALevelInCynic Initially, anyway]]. |
| 171 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: |
| 172 | ** It turns out that [[spoiler:Mochi used to be a target of bullying from other rabbits due to her heterochromia, and Juju advised her to hide it via bangs to stop the teasing]]. |
| 173 | ** Seems like this has been slowly happening a second time ever since she befriended Treat and Moxie. |
| 174 | * AnguishedOutburst: She has a major one in Chapter 6 after finding out about [[spoiler:the wrecked garden]], angrily crying and screaming why this had to happen. |
| 175 | * AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Falls into this category in Bad End 3 where she's still fundamentally good; but went crazy in getting revenge on the rabbits for the garden]]. |
| 176 | * ArcVillainess: [[spoiler:Shares this role with Senbei for Bad End 3. While the latter indirectly led to the events of this timeline, [[TheHeavy Mochi is the one directly driving the plot by attacking other rabbits]]]]. |
| 177 | * ArmorPiercingQuestion: She hands one to Juju, asking her why she thinks foxes are dangerous when they haven't hurt anyone, leaving her struggling to come up with an answer. |
| 178 | * AscendedToCarnivorism: She actually has no problem eating meat, despite being a rabbit. |
| 179 | * AxCrazy: |
| 180 | ** [[spoiler:In two endings of DATE MOCHI, Mochi kills the player and ''everyone in Frosting'' over her destroyed garden]]. |
| 181 | ** [[spoiler:Happens again in the proper series during Bad End 2 for the exact same reason. Only this time, she's just killing rabbits in the Warren before one nice fellow snaps her out of it]]. |
| 182 | * BefriendingTheEnemy: This is subverted with Treat, who already desired to be on better terms with rabbits who view her as a vile creature. Mochi plays this straight with Moxie and her friends Salt and Pepper, who become friends with her after she puts in effort to be friends with them. |
| 183 | * BeingGoodSucks: All of the trouble Mochi goes through in the series is, ironically, the result her well-intentioned and honorable attempts to make peace between rabbits and predators, reflecting the reality that not everyone is as easily convinced as she is that not all PredatorsAreMean. |
| 184 | * BerserkButton: |
| 185 | ** Hurting Treat in any way, shape or form in Mochi's presence is ''a very bad idea''. |
| 186 | ** An example that is usually PlayedForLaughs is her being teased about her height/being OlderThanSheLooks. |
| 187 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Pushing Mochi too far does ''not'' end well. [[spoiler:Just look at what happened in Bad End 3]]. |
| 188 | * BoomerangBigot: Downplayed. Mochi doesn't become hateful of rabbits as a whole, just the ones in Frosting for all the crap they put her, Treat and Moxie through. |
| 189 | * BreakTheCutie: Mochi has it very bad. Her efforts to make everyone befriend each other end up in vain when her cousin Juju is kidnapped and almost eaten by the foxes, leading to a huge fight between the two that ends up with Juju evicting Mochi out of Frosting and Mochi falling into depression. |
| 190 | * BrokenPedestal: Needless to say, Mochi is utterly crushed by everything her cousin Juju subjects her and her friends to. |
| 191 | * BunniesForCuteness: Characters occasionally comment on her being a cute rabbit. |
| 192 | * ButNotTooBi: [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/231/ A Q&A strip]] from the comic reveals that she had a boyfriend before, but aside from that, her love interests are evidently only female. Nami further [[https://cohost.org/nomnomnami/post/5828914-treat-is-demisexual confirmed]] that she is bisexual, but it's unlikely it would be displayed onscreen. |
| 193 | * CaringGardener: After recovering from her funk from getting kicked out of Frosting, Mochi takes up gardening and seems to really enjoy it. [[spoiler: However, when it gets destroyed, she becomes upset and doesn't seem keen on retrying]]. |
| 194 | * CategoryTraitor: Mochi starts befriending predators after meeting Treat in an effort to try and make everyone friends. For this, she's seen as naive and weird by the other rabbits. |
| 195 | * CharacterDevelopment: Just as Mochi influenced Treat to become more upbeat, meeting Treat allowed Mochi to stop believing that all wolves are bad and even stand up for that belief against other rabbits. On a darker note, she also grows more cynical over time upon learning how unreasonably cruel the rabbits are towards Treat. |
| 196 | * CheeryPink: Her pink appearance and clothes symbolize her high spirit and optimism. |
| 197 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: |
| 198 | ** She has shades of it, especially compared to Treat and Moxie. When meeting the latter two, she insists on helping them cook a meal and find a new favorite food, respectively. |
| 199 | ** It also seems to be reflected gameplay-wise, as ''Friendly Bunny Mochi'' has some optional side quests that Mochi could do for certain characters, as opposed to the first and third game. |
| 200 | ** In ''Dreaming Treat'', she [[PlayerNudge encourages]] Treat to help Gumdrop when they encounter her in the witch town. Doing so [[KarmicJackpot will earn them some free candy]] from Syrup's shop, much to Mochi's delight. |
| 201 | * ColdBloodedTorture: [[spoiler:Subjects the player to this in the Darkest ending of ''DATE MOCHI'']]. |
| 202 | * CrazyPrepared: If you spend all of Mochi's money before going with Moxie to the hot springs, Mochi reveals that she has some extra money hidden in her shoes. |
| 203 | * CreepyGood: [[spoiler:Her murderous anger in Bad End 3 is terrifying and provides much of the nightmare fuel of the route]]. |
| 204 | * CryIntoChest: Well, not quite the chest because she's way shorter than Treat but this is how the second game ends, with Treat hugging a crying Mochi after Juju kicked her out of Frosting. |
| 205 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Both her eyes and hair are pink. |
| 206 | * TheCutie: Mochi is considered adorable, she's also very nice and tries to be sweet to everyone. |
| 207 | * CynicismCatalyst: The [[spoiler: wreckage of her garden]] as well as her cousin abandoning her while searching for the culprit, and finding out [[spoiler:her uncle Mango is actually still alive]] the very next day proves to be the breaking point of Mochi's optimism. |
| 208 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: The second most important character after Treat, and the story revolves around Mochi as much as it does around the wolf girl. |
| 209 | * DisproportionateRetribution: |
| 210 | ** [[spoiler:Her response to the garden being destroyed in ''DATE MOCHI''? Kill the player character (who is [[MisplacedRetribution innocent]]) and possibly ''everyone else in Frosting'']]. |
| 211 | ** [[spoiler:Bad End 3 has her doing the same thing in essence. She luckily snaps out of it eventually]]. |
| 212 | * EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: Mochi is generally friendly to everyone she comes across, but as the games go on, her opinion on her own cousin Juju starts to rapidly deteriorate. |
| 213 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Mochi's hair grows long and loose during her melancholy episode. Once she cheers up, she ties it back into a pair of low twintails. She also loses her bangs when [[spoiler:she and Treat decide to move away from Frosting, revealing her heterochromia that made her the target of bullying from other rabbits]]. |
| 214 | * FirstFriend: Outside of her wolf pack, Mochi was the first person to form a bond with Treat in the series. Their friendship would go on to blossom into a romance later. |
| 215 | * {{Foil}}: |
| 216 | ** To Treat. Mochi is an outgoing girl with a positive outlook on life, Treat is quiet and reserved, and is very depressed most of the time (until Mochi starts rubbing off on her, anyway). Also they both end up outsiders in different ways: Treat is forced to abandon her pack because she couldn't follow traditions, while Mochi willingly alienated herself from other rabbits by defying the idea that PredatorPreyFriendship is impossible, and while Treat eventually gets welcomed back in her pack, Mochi remains ostracized, which in turn, led to opposing types of CharacterDevelopment: Treat TookALevelInCheerfulness while Mochi TookALevelInCynic. |
| 217 | ** Also to her cousin Juju. Mochi used to be afraid of predators just like most rabbits, but when she gets to know Treat, she becomes convinced that PredatorPreyFriendship is possible and works on making everyone friends, while Juju is a jerk to all predators and is so convinced that they're so terrible, she refuses to give them a chance. Mochi's positive attitude also contrasts with her cousin's perpetual grumpiness and negativity. |
| 218 | * ForcedFromTheirHome: As of the second game, Mochi is kicked out of Frosting by her cousin Juju and sent back to her parents. She ends up living with Treat instead. |
| 219 | * FreudianTrio: Mochi is the balanced Ego between Treat and Moxie. |
| 220 | * GenerationXerox: [[spoiler:Her presumably dead uncle Mango became friends with Treat's pack after Cotton helped him out of the snow following an avalanche, and Mango gave him a rice ball. It's just like how Mochi became friends with Treat after she saved from Moxie so Mochi made curry for Treat. Plus, that never would've happened if not for an avalanche blocking the way back to Vanilla]]. |
| 221 | * GenkiGirl: Mochi is very energetic and outgoing, contrasting with Treat. |
| 222 | * GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Mochi cannot fathom how Juju and other rabbits fail to understand that not all predators are bad news, even when the evidence is right in front of their eyes. She regards it as illogical and irrational. |
| 223 | * GoodIsNotSoft: She goes about looking for [[spoiler:her garden's destroyer]] in a very aggressive manner. If you talk with May before leaving the hot springs, Mochi even implies that she might be feeling like beating the culprit to a pulp. [[spoiler:And in Bad End 3, she does just that]]. |
| 224 | * GracefulLoser: Mochi takes [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/308/ her loss]] at RockPaperScissors against Moxie very well, even cheerfully telling her she won. |
| 225 | * HandHolding: On their way back home from shopping in ''Dreaming Treat'', Mochi offers to hold hands with Treat, who hesitantly accepts. |
| 226 | * HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Parsnip is the only rabbit Mochi spares in her rampage because he's too nice and also sickly. Later, she finds out he's the grandson of the Warren's owner and the one responsible for the wolves' taxidermy, causing her a breakdown as she struggles on deciding what to do before leaving in a panic]]. |
| 227 | * HeightAngst: She ''detests'' being teased about her height. |
| 228 | * HeroicBSOD: |
| 229 | ** This happens to her after the second game, losing her usual cheerfulness and falling into depression after a huge fight with her cousin Juju when the latter got kidnapped by Salt and Pepper who planned to eat her. |
| 230 | ** It happens again in Chapter 6 when [[spoiler:she discovers her wrecked garden]], and it worsens when she gets into a fight with Juju over it later. |
| 231 | ** And it happens ''a third time'' in Chapter 7 when [[spoiler:she discovers her uncle was alive this whole time, meaning her family has been wrong all along except for Castella]]. Keep in mind that this happened ''a day'' after the ordeal described above. |
| 232 | * HeroineWithBadPublicity: Implied. The sixth game suggests that Mochi became known to some rabbits in Frosting as "that freak who lives with a wolf", as the junior guard rabbit seems to pick up on it when Mochi is explaining the garden situation. |
| 233 | * HiddenEyes: Mochi's eyes are drawn like this in her CharacterPortrait for most of the sixth game, showing her sour mood and subtle anger over [[spoiler:the wreckage of the garden]]. |
| 234 | * HideYourOtherness: ''Lucky Number Moxie'' reveals that [[spoiler:Mochi has heterochromia and was forced to hide it due to bullying. The one who advised her to do this is none other than her {{Jerkass}} cousin]]. |
| 235 | * HidingBehindYourBangs: Mochi's left eye is perpetually covered by her hair. Usually it only serves to make her look cute, but it also highlights her gloomy and depressed mood in the third, fourth, and sixth games. It finally comes off in the seventh chapter, where [[spoiler:it is revealed that Mochi has heterochromia and was forced to [[HideYourOtherness hide her left eye due to bullying]]]]. |
| 236 | * {{Hikikomori}}: She spends about two months cooped up inside Treat's house during her depressed episode. |
| 237 | * HunterOfHerOwnKind: [[spoiler:Having gone off into the deep end in Chapter 6's bad ending after too much mistreatment, Mochi starts coming after the other rabbits]]. |
| 238 | * HypocriteHasAPoint: She lectures Nutmeg on how wrong it is for her to be racist against predators despite being one herself. Mochi does ends up becoming something of a BoomerangBigot later in the series, but only because rabbits pushed her over the edge with their IrrationalHatred of Treat and Moxie. |
| 239 | * InnocentBigot: At first, she would unintentionally invoke YouAreACreditToYourRace when trying to compliment Treat. |
| 240 | * IOweYouMyLife: Treat's first meeting with Mochi was a result of Moxie blocking the bunny's way back to Frosting, so when Treat scares off Moxie, Mochi feels like she has to repay the wolf somehow, deciding to make curry for her, despite Treat's insistence that [[ThinkNothingOfIt she didn't do anything worthy of being repaid]]. |
| 241 | * JadeColoredGlasses: By the time Chapter 7 rolls around, Mochi comes to realize that her fellow rabbits are just too illogical in their racism that there's no ground for negotiation. |
| 242 | * KidHero: Mochi is 19 by the start of the series, making her the youngest protagonist. She detests being looked down on for being young and enjoying things that are considered kiddie, and especially equating it with being naive, like how Juju did in the second game. |
| 243 | * KnightInSourArmor: Despite growing more cynical after her fellow rabbits' cruelty angers her one too many times, Mochi still retains the belief that we should be kind to each other regrdless of the differences between us. |
| 244 | * KnightOfCerebus: An unusual protagonist example. [[spoiler:Bad End 3 is mostly driven by her revenge quest against the other rabbits for the destruction of her garden and upsetting Treat]]. |
| 245 | * {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://soundcloud.com/nomnomnami/mochi-1 Mochi]]''. She also shares ''[[https://soundcloud.com/nomnomnami/our-home Our Home]]'' with Treat. |
| 246 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Invoked by Moxie who told Treat not to say anything about [[spoiler:her homelessness]] to Mochi to not make her worry. Treat obliged, of course. |
| 247 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:It's only because she loves Treat so much that she ends up killing rabbits in Bad End 3. Their jerkassery towards the wolf girl became too much for her to bear]]. |
| 248 | * MagneticHero: After meeting Treat, Mochi is able to become friends with some predators because now she genuinely believes everyone can be friends. |
| 249 | * MisplacedRetribution: Technically speaking, [[spoiler:the only ones directly responsible for wrecking her garden are the Dazed Rabbit, Snickering Jerk and Senbei. Still, she goes out of her way to kill any rabbit she finds because she puts their apathy towards the situation on the same level of the act itself]]. |
| 250 | * MistakenAge: It peeves her to no end whenever someone thinks she's a child, when she's actually nearing her twenties. |
| 251 | * MoodSwinger: In the second game, Mochi is helping Moxie to find a new favorite food for her. She suggests juiceboxes, to which Moxie scoffs at and sarcastically ask how old Mochi is. Mochi is annoyed by this and defends her love for juiceboxes. After Moxie apologizes, Mochi goes back to being cheery and Moxie notes how freaky the speed she changed was. |
| 252 | * MoralityPet: Towards Danny. Their concern for Mochi and her efforts to befriend the predators eventually lead to Danny abandoning their prejudiced views and possibly becoming friends with Treat and Chai. |
| 253 | * NatureLover: Mochi appreciates the outdoorsy sights like rivers and trees during the trip to Treat's pack in "Lucky Number Moxie", in contrast to the titular fox. |
| 254 | * {{NEET}}: Unlike Treat and Moxie, Mochi has no source of income apart from the money her parents send her. She briefly considers looking for a job in the second chapter, but nothing ever comes of it since she is forced to leave Frosting shortly after. |
| 255 | * NeverAcceptedInHisHometown: After the incident in the second game and getting booted out of Frosting by Juju, Mochi seems to have become a pariah to the other rabbits in Frosting, who see her as a freak for living with Treat as shown in Chapter 6. |
| 256 | * NiceGirl: Mochi is one of the few rabbits in the series who isn't consumed by paranoia and fear, thus making her able to befriend predators easily. |
| 257 | * NiceMeanAndInBetween: Mochi is the nice one. While Moxie picks on rabbits for fun and Treat just keeps to herself, Mochi actively tries to help everyone become friends with one another. |
| 258 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: After meeting Treat, Mochi is convinced that rabbits and predators can be friends, and she starts working on easing the relationship between them. Her efforts are rewarded with her cousin yelling at her and kicking her out because of an incident involving Salt and Pepper. |
| 259 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: [[spoiler:When she meets her uncle Mango in Chapter 6 and they discuss him staying with wolves all this time, he laments that she must think he's a coward for his decision. Mochi reassures him that it's not true, since she knows what it's like to prefer living with a wolf over rabbits]]. |
| 260 | * ObliviousToLove: Unlike Moxie who picked up on it earlier, Mochi wasn't aware that Treat developed feelings for her after they started leaving together until her confession in Chapter 5. |
| 261 | * OlderThanSheLooks: She is the shortest protagonist and the most childish looking, so you'd be pretty surprised to hear she's 19 at the start of the series, and turns 20 by the end of the winter. |
| 262 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Throughout ''Mochi in Frosting'', she acts angry, depressed and even rude. This is due to [[spoiler:her garden being destroyed by an unknown wolf-hater]]. It's even more evident in [[spoiler:the alternative bad end; she straight up start killing rabbits with murderous looking eyes]]. |
| 263 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler:Her beating up Snickering Jerk and Dazed Rabbit for wrecking her garden]]. |
| 264 | * {{Polyamory}}: Having multiple partners is common in rabbit culture, so when Mochi learns about Treat's desire to have two girlfriends, she accepts it without a second thought. |
| 265 | * PredatorPreyFriendship: Like many rabbits, she's always lived in fear of being eaten by predators, but her chance encounter with Treat convinces her that friendship between rabbits and predators is possible. She tries to help Frosting form peaceful relations with Moxie's gang, but Juju's little incident causes everything to fall apart. |
| 266 | * PsychoKnifeNut: [[spoiler: In ''DATE MOCHI'', she's wielding a kitchen knife and threatening to kill the player character with it]]. |
| 267 | * RageBreakingPoint: Mochi ''absolutely loses it'' when Juju ditches her for an opportunity to talk to her crush when she was supposed to ask him about [[spoiler:Mochi's destroyed garden]], to the point where she yells at her cousin and gives up trying to find the culprit, then leaves in a huff. |
| 268 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:Her normally pink eyes flash in stints of red throughout Bad End 3 to illustrate her murderous desire for revenge]]. |
| 269 | * RedOniBlueOni: The energetic, outgoing and cheerful red to Treat's withdrawn, shy and quiet blue. |
| 270 | * RescueRomance: Downplayed. Treat is actually the first one to develop feelings for Mochi. Still, the wolf girl rescuing Mochi is what started their friendship that eventually blossomed into a romance. |
| 271 | * RighteousRabbit: She's one of the heroines and nicest rabbits in the series. |
| 272 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Bad End 3 revolves around Mochi going on one of these against Frosting rabbits for wrecking the garden and upsetting Treat]]. |
| 273 | * RoseHairedSweetie: Mochi is an adorable and bubbly NiceGirl with pink hair. |
| 274 | * RunningAwayToCry: After discovering [[spoiler:the wrecked garden]], Mochi takes Treat to the hot springs while she goes into Frosting to investigate. As soon as she's far away from the establishment, the poor bunny suffers [[HeroicBSOD a nervous breakdown]] while uncontrollably crying. [[ItsAllMyFault Treat already felt bad enough with the incident]] and Mochi tried her hardest not to make it worse by crying in front of her. |
| 275 | * TheScream: She lets one out in Chapter 6 after leaving Treat in the hot springs over [[spoiler:their wrecked garden]]. |
| 276 | * SheWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler:In ''DATE MOCHI'', by becoming an AxCrazy rabbit willing to kill people for revenge, she's essentially worse than a garden destroyer who hates wolves. She reaches the same level in Bad End 3]]. |
| 277 | * ShipperOnDeck: If she sees [[spoiler:Danny and Chai hooking up in "Mochi in Frosting"]], she will be happy that at least one rabbit stopped being scared of predators. |
| 278 | * SpoiledSweet: Being an only child, Mochi gets coddled by her parents a lot. When they send her money in ''Friendly Bunny Mochi'', she worries that they don't trust her to survive on her own, and plans to use the money to fund her future curry nights. |
| 279 | * StopBeingStereotypical: She wishes her kind wasn't the way it was towards wolves and foxes, since not all rabbits are racist jerks (or at least, not all of them are unwilling to change). |
| 280 | * SupremeChef: A very excellent cook. In the first game, she makes curry for Treat and later, holds curry nights for the foxes. She's also seen making two salads in the second game. Treat has commented that Mochi is an excellent cook. |
| 281 | * SweetTooth: She is super excited to visit Atelier Sweets in ''Dreaming Treat''. |
| 282 | * TastesLikeFriendship: Sharing food seems to be her main way of showing kindness to others. She makes curry for Treat as thanks for saving her, she makes more curry for the foxes in an attempt to befriend them, and she gets Moxie to show her nice side by finding her a new favorite food. Once she starts her garden, she intends to share the things she grows with all of her friends. |
| 283 | * TeamChef: After moving into Treat's house, she does most of the cooking for the two. |
| 284 | * ThrowTheDogABone: While the series is not kind to Mochi as detailed above in BreakTheCutie, she still gets some good in her way. [[spoiler:Getting the garden destroyed? She cheers up thanks to having Treat with her. Finding out that her supposedly dead uncle Mango is alive after all? Made her angry with her family for lying to her but she meets him and they talk things out]]. |
| 285 | * TookALevelInCynic: Mochi's WideEyedIdealist mind slowly breaks down more and more as the series goes on, and she sees how awful her kind is to other species. |
| 286 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Her favorite food is carrots, the StockAnimalDiet of rabbits. |
| 287 | * TranquilFury: Mochi alters between being deadly calm and outright angry in Chapter 6 after [[spoiler:seeing the destroyed garden]]. |
| 288 | * TraumaCongaLine: After her first BreakTheCutie moment in the second chapter, things start to get ''much'' worse for the poor bunny. In the fifth game, she's finally shown to be out of her funk after taking up gardening, but [[spoiler:said garden is destroyed by an unknown assilant]], leaving the poor girl outraged. In the sixth game, she requests the help of Juju to find the culprit but Juju ditches her, leading to another fight and Mochi going back with nothing to show for it. Thankfully, she cheers up in the seventh game...then [[spoiler:she finds out that her supposedly long dead uncle is actually alive and is mad her family was lying to her all this time]]. To say that Mochi can't catch a break would be a ''huge'' understatement. |
| 289 | * TurnTheOtherCheek: Mochi spends the majority of the second time being nice to Moxie in spite of all the threats that she will be eaten. This attitude is rewarded when she gets through to Moxie later. |
| 290 | * UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Bad End 3 ends with Mochi critically injured after Senbei curb-stomps her in one hit. It's not shown if Annie and Dango managed to treat her wounds in time or not]]. |
| 291 | * TheUnfettered: [[spoiler:She stops at nothing to get her revenge on the rabbits for wrecking her garden and upsetting Treat]]. |
| 292 | * VengeanceFeelsEmpty: [[spoiler:After beating up Dazd Rabbit and Snickering Jerk with the very same shovel they used to wreck her garden, Mochi coldly admits right after that she doesn't feel any better]]. |
| 293 | * WalkingSpoiler: Hefty spoilers might surround Mochi more than the other protagonists since [[spoiler:the bad ending of Chapter 6 is [[VillainProtagonist driven by her own actions]]]]. |
| 294 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Bad End 3 has her killing her fellow rabbits out of hatred for their mistreatment of Treat]]. |
| 295 | * WideEyedIdealist: Mochi's efforts to make rabbits and predators friends are often shut down very harshly and bring about a lot of trouble upon herself, due to the majority of rabbits being insistent that there's no such thing as a nice predator. |
| 296 | * YankTheDogsChain: After suffering BreakTheCutie in the second game and spending most of her time inside Treat's house being mopey, Mochi [[ThrowTheDogABone finally lightens up]] in ''Dreaming Treat'' by taking up gardening. [[spoiler:Then an unknown vandal comes by and wrecks the garden, leaving Mochi fuming for most of ''Mochi in Frosting''. Thankfully, she gets over it much more quickly this time]]. |
| 297 | * YouAreACreditToYourRace: During their first meeting, Mochi would keep complimenting Treat while adding "even though you're a wolf" beforehand. The wolf girl lampshades how the phrasing makes it seem like wolves are supposed to be bad, and Mochi grows out of it. |
| 298 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Mochi is always telling Treat that people treating her badly because she's a wolf is not her fault and does not make her bad at all. This is especially prominent in the sixth game when the due [[spoiler:find their garden destroyed]] and Treat blames it on herself for being in Mochi's life, but the latter persistently deflects it and tries to lift Treat's spirits up. |
| 299 | * YouCantGoHomeAgain: Not that Mochi had any intention of returning home, but [[spoiler:her house in Frosting gets demolished at an unknown point]]. |

| 308 | |
| 309 | Moxie is the protagonist of the third and seventh game. She is one of the foxes who moves into the Foxy Den near Frosting to prey on rabbits all day long. After Mochi's meeting with Treat, the former is convinced she can befriend predators, and tries to do so with Moxie. It takes time but eventually, the three girls become close friends. |
| 310 | ---- |
| 311 | * AccidentalHero: Her cornering Mochi is what leads the latter to meeting Treat, thus learning that not all PredatorsAreMean. |
| 312 | * AntiHero: Moxie means well despite her cockiness and blunt, rude nature. |
| 313 | * AsideGlance: Her sprite briefly glances at the viewer moments before Treat finds her in the middle of changing at the hot springs. |
| 314 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: After Mochi finds her a new favorite food, Moxie admits that she never had rabbit meat and the reason why she couldn't actually go through with eating Mochi was because the latter has been nice to her the entirety of the second game. With that much niceness, of course she wouldn't have the heart to do that. |
| 315 | * BeneathTheMask: Moxie presents herself as an overconfident, cocky and evil fox, but in reality, she's deeply hurt and insecure about being a burden on everyone around, and fortunately, she's a kinder individual as well. |
| 316 | * BigEgoHiddenDepths: There's more to her egotistical persona than meets the eye, it seems to be her way to cope with a fragile ego stemming from self doubt issues due to her upbringing. |
| 317 | * BookDumb: She's a clever fox in her own right despite [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/80/ flunking out of school when she was younger]]. |
| 318 | -->'''Moxie:''' Do I look like I can do math?! |
| 319 | * BreakTheHaughty: |
| 320 | ** In "Clever Fox Moxie", at first she does succeed in providing money to pay rent, but after a while, all her friends leave because it wasn't working out. Moxie tries to get some inspiration by walking around, until she reaches the hot springs where she's scolded by Annie and May for stealing customers from them, causing her to break down crying. |
| 321 | ** It happens again in "Lucky Number Moxie"; on the way to Treat's pack, Moxie is constantly haunted by a hallucination of her mother telling her she's a burden to everyone around her. |
| 322 | * BrutalHonesty: Moxie is easily the bluntest of the main characters, shown by her [[spoiler:not afraid of telling Mango that his daughter is a horrible person.]] |
| 323 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Or Fox Ears Lawyer, in Moxie's case. She initially comes off as a big talker who can't back up her claims of villainy, but once the focus shifts on her in the third entry of the series, we see her display her guile and resourcefulness to get money via a scheme. These qualities earn her the position of the fox gang leader. |
| 324 | * CunningLikeAFox: Duh, the first game you control her in isn't called "Clever Fox Moxie" for no reason. In said game, she comes up with a ZanyScheme to get some money to pay rent. She also engages in FriendlyScheming, such as in ''Dreaming Treat'' where she sets up a plan culminating in Treat giving Mochi an overdue LoveConfession. |
| 325 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Thanks to Mochi's kindness to her, Moxie is able to display her nicer side more often and even eventually becomes girlfriends with her and Treat. |
| 326 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: She is able to attract guests to the Foxy Lodge by promising to put on a murder mystery for the guests to solve. Once the guests get settled in, Moxie suddenly realizes she has to actually organize a murder mystery now. |
| 327 | * DisappearedDad: Her father is only mentioned in an optional conversation between Moxie's mom and Trick in the fourth game, which reveals that he left years ago with their sons. |
| 328 | * EroticDream: In the third and fourth games, Moxie has dreams about making out with Treat and Mochi at the same time. |
| 329 | * EveryoneHasStandards: In spite of her tough acting, she is mortified if she goes with Mochi to Eleni's demon SummoningRitual. |
| 330 | * FoeRomanceSubtext: It is implied that her initial desire to "eat" Mochi is just her expressing her feelings for the bunny in a weird way. She specifically targets Mochi because the latter is a cute girl, and refuses to eat a "gross boy rabbit". |
| 331 | * FoulFox: Downplayed. At first, she swears she's going to eat Mochi, but turns out she doesn't have the heart to go through with it, especially since the bunny girl has been nothing but nice to her in spite of everything. She still maintains a JerkWithAHeartOfGold streak even after getting on better terms with Treat and Mochi, though. |
| 332 | * FoxyVixen: She's the one who makes the most suggestive remarks in her relationship with Treat and Mochi, and has a lot of interest in sex. Although as mentioned below, Moxie is amusingly embarrassed if one talks about her own sexual activities. |
| 333 | * FreudianSlip: If you talk to her in the first game, she accidentally hints that she has a crush on Mochi. |
| 334 | -->'''Moxie:''' I'm just following my instincts. Who wouldn't wanna eat a cute girl? Uh, bunny. |
| 335 | * FreudianTrio: Moxie is the passionate and aggressive Id. |
| 336 | * GoodIsNotNice: She becomes more heroic in nature as the series goes on, although she's not as nice as Treat, Mochi or Trick. |
| 337 | * GoshDangItToHeck: When she is invited to see Eleni's demon summoning ritual. |
| 338 | -->'''Moxie:''' D-D-DEMON SUMMONING?!!?!? IS THIS WHAT RABBITS DO FOR FUN?! WHAT THE ACTUAL FRICK!!!!! |
| 339 | * {{Greed}}: Moxie really likes to have money, which is highlighted several times in the webcomic. |
| 340 | * GuileHeroine: In the third game, she comes up with a plan to quickly make money by turning the Foxy Den into a hotel. |
| 341 | * HarmlessVillain: Moxie keeps insisting that she is going to eat Mochi, but never actually goes through with it. She eventually admits that she doesn't have the heart to actually kill a rabbit, and has never actually eaten rabbit meat in her life. |
| 342 | * HatesTheirParent: [[spoiler:After being evicted from the Foxy Lodge]], Moxie (jokingly?) considers going back and vandalizing the building just to spite her mom. |
| 343 | * HeelFaceTurn: Downplayed in that she was never exactly a heel to begin with, but she does drop her antagonistic attitude towards Mochi and Treat from the third game onwards. |
| 344 | * HomelessHero: [[spoiler:After getting evicted, Moxie would rather live in a tent in the woods than go back to Ginseng and face her mom.]] |
| 345 | * IcyBlueEyes: She has these to go along with her overconfident persona. |
| 346 | * ImStandingRightHere: Moxie is left flabbergasted when her first two guests at the Foxy Lodge are making no attempts to hide their skepticism towards her simply because she's a fox. |
| 347 | -->'''Moxie:''' ''(in her thoughts)'' [[LampshadeHanging You cry about discrimination and then talk like this right in front of me...?]] |
| 348 | * IndyPloy: Her money making plan in the third chapter is pretty much just a series of spur-of-the-moment ideas. Some travelers are denied access to Frosting? Moxie invites them to her home and tells them it's a hotel. The travelers don't trust Moxie? She gets their attention by promising to put on a murder mystery drama. She doesn't actually have a murder mystery prepared? She improvises one in just two hours. |
| 349 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Her cocky, overconfident attitude hides the fact that she has really fragile self-esteem and sees herself as a disappointment to her mother and everyone else. She always cheers up when Treat and Mochi praise her, though. |
| 350 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: |
| 351 | ** Moxie genuinely didn't mean to hurt Annie's and May's hot springs by setting up her own inn and taking away potential customers. |
| 352 | ** She of course has Treat's best interest in her heart, but because Moxie's unaware of how difficult it is for Treat to admit her feelings for Mochi, her downplaying it as something easy troubles the wolf girl. Thankfully, it's all resolved shortly after. |
| 353 | * InsultBackfire: Fennel calls her "one of the evil seductresses who corrupted Treat". Moxie likes the sound of being a ''hot'' seductress, much to Fennel's displeasure. |
| 354 | -->'''Fennel:''' I said EVIL not HOT!!! |
| 355 | * ItsAllMyFault: Moxie's interactions with Mochi and Juju lead to an incident that greatly fuels Juju's anger towards predators, which prompts Mochi to run away from Frosting and spend weeks cooped up in Treat's house. Moxie blames herself for Mochi's situation and avoids talking to Mochi for a long time because of this. ''Dreaming Treat'' further reveals that Moxie is keeping the fact that [[spoiler:she is homeless]] a secret from Mochi to avoid worrying her. |
| 356 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Moxie, despite starting off wanting to eat Mochi, gradually begins to thaw out after Mochi shows her some kindness. Even though she stops acting tough from the third chapter onwards, she still likes to tease her love interests and has a tendency to bluntly speak her mind. |
| 357 | * JustJokingJustification: If you interact with the Foxy Den in ''Dreaming Treat'', Moxie comments that she has a desire to go in and vandalize the place just to spite her mom for kicking her out. [[DudeNotFunny Neither Treat nor Mochi are comfortable with the comment]], and Moxie responds that she was just joking around. |
| 358 | * KaleidoscopeHair: Much like the real-life arctic fox, Moxie's hair changes from white to brown in the summer. |
| 359 | * TheLeader: Moxie is the boss of the fox gang. It was her idea to settle near a rabbit village to snack on rabbits, she pays the rent for the Foxy Den, and she comes up with all the plans. |
| 360 | * {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://soundcloud.com/nomnomnami/moxie Moxie]]'', ''[[https://soundcloud.com/nomnomnami/clever-fox Clever Fox]]'', and ''[[https://soundcloud.com/nomnomnami/summertime-moxie Summertime Moxie]]''. |
| 361 | * LethalChef: By her own admission, she can't cook to save her life. |
| 362 | * LovableSexManiac: She instantly assumes Treat's dream about her is an EroticDream, and is very interested in hearing about Treat and Mochi's first night together as girlfriends. Amusingly, talking about her ''own'' sexual activities makes her really embarrassed, as shown when she interrupts Treat's confession before Treat can tell Mochi about the time they slept together. |
| 363 | * MeaningfulName: Moxie as a slang term can mean determination or enthusiasm, which describes her perfectly. |
| 364 | * MomentKiller: Amusingly enough, she does it to the very moment she helped create between Treat and Mochi in ''Dreaming Treat'' because Treat started telling Mochi about the time they slept together, as depicted in ''delicacy''. |
| 365 | * MsViceGirl: She's quite prideful and greedy (mostly depicted in the webcomic), but still a fundamentally good person who would never go as far as to hurt someone to indulge in these vices. |
| 366 | * NiceMeanAndInBetween: Between the cheerful Mochi and the down-to-earth Treat, Moxie is the most mean-spirited of the three. |
| 367 | * NotHelpingYourCase: In the third game when she goes to the hot springs, Annie and May are mad at Moxie for causing a decline in their guests with her murder mystery gimmick. Moxie desperately tries to explain [[NotWhatItLooksLike she meant no harm]] but when Treat shows up, Moxie offers her a position in her show. Aloud and in front of Annie and May too, which makes them think she's trying to steal their employee too. |
| 368 | * {{Polyamory}}: She develops feelings for both Mochi and Treat. She knows Treat likes Mochi, but in ''delicacy'' Moxie learns that Treat likes her too. She later helps Treat confess to Mochi so that all three of them can become girlfriends. |
| 369 | * ResentfulOutnumberedSibling: When we meet Moxie's mom in the fourth game, she reveals that along with having a DisappearedDad, Moxie is also the only girl in the family, and her brothers went away with their father. Though we never hear Moxie acknowledge this directly, it is possible that being the only girl in the household added to her insecurities. |
| 370 | * RomanticWingman: She helps Treat with confessing her feelings to Mochi in ''Dreaming Treat''. |
| 371 | * {{Schemer}}: By her own admission, she's always scheming. Fits well with her being a clever fox. |
| 372 | * SchoolIsForLosers: Implied. She never says anything about it in-game, but her answer in the webcomic about school days is proudly proclaiming she flunked out, though she seems embarrassed when Mochi question it. |
| 373 | * SelfImposedExile: The reason why Moxie [[spoiler:decided to live in a tent]] rather than go back to Ginseng is because she doesn't want to see her mother again. |
| 374 | * ShamelessFanserviceGirl: |
| 375 | ** When Treat walks in on Moxie changing at the hot springs, Moxie deliberately stops putting her clothes on just so she can tease Treat for seeing her half-naked. In ''Lucky Number Moxie'', she shows interest in wearing sexier clothing and admires fitting rooms for being among the few places where you can take your clothes off in public. |
| 376 | ** When Nami [[https://nomnomnamiart.tumblr.com/post/142539861753/cosplay drew the girls cosplaying as]] ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' characters, she gave Moxie the {{Stripperiffic}} outfit of Etna. |
| 377 | * ShipperOnDeck: As soon as Moxie finds out that Treat started developing feelings for Mochi, she starts supporting the relationship and goes on to plan for them to spend a day together in the fifth. Heck, even before it was confirmed, she thought they were a couple and that they were super cute together. |
| 378 | * StepfordSmiler: Moxie hates appearing weak in front of others and would put on a confident and carefree facade whenever her insecurities start acting up, as shown in the third and seventh chapters. |
| 379 | * StreetSmart: Moxie's cleverness shines particularly when she's scheming, as shown by her ability to deceive and improvise. Pepper even begrudgingly lampshades this by saying that she's nothing if not resourceful. |
| 380 | * SuperDrowningSkills: In the seventh game, while attempting another flirt with Treat, Moxie says she can't swim, and wants Treat to give her mouth-to-mouth if she falls in the water. |
| 381 | * TheTease: After spending the night with Treat in the ''delicacy'' comic, Moxie often acts this way towards the wolfgirl, taking delight in making her feel embarrassed. After her relationship with Treat and Mochi becomes official, her attempts to tease her girlfriends become a lot more frequent... [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/162/ and a lot less successful]]. |
| 382 | * TermsOfEndangerment: She gives Mochi the nickname "Dindins" because she wants to have Mochi for dinner. |
| 383 | * ThirdPersonPerson: She slips into third person whenever she says something boastful or reassuring. Considering her self-esteem issues, she may well be doing it as a form of positive self-affirmation, which is supported by her aggressive response to Powder lampshading this habit in ''Lucky Number Moxie''. |
| 384 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: In the seventh game, Moxie's opinion on Juju sours even further thanks to a few revelations: [[spoiler:Finding out she ditched Mochi in the sixth game, and that she was the one who told her to hide her heterochromia to avoid getting bullied. When the fox girl meets Juju's father Mango later, she [[BrutalHonesty bluntly]] tells him that his daughter is the worst because of all the trouble she gave them]]. |
| 385 | * ThrowTheDogABone: After the events of the third game where she [[spoiler:ends up homeless]], Moxie manages to land a job in a clothing store with a BenevolentBoss allowing her to live in it as well, and she completely cuts her mother out of her life. |
| 386 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Antihero variety. She's the meanest of the four protagonists. |
| 387 | * TokenWholesome: Inverted. She's the only one of the main cast who ever came close to being shown naked (outside of bathing scenes and NSFW side content). She's also the only one interested in dressing more {{fanservice}}-y. |
| 388 | * TookALevelInKindness: Moxie is shown acting much more caring and nice later on the series after Mochi was able to get through to her. |
| 389 | * ToplessnessFromTheBack: ''Dreaming Treat'' gives her a brief topless scene in the hot springs changing room, facing away from the player. Although she covers her chest with her shirt a couple seconds later, her bare back is still in full view for most of the scene. |
| 390 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: She initially claims to enjoy rabbit meat, but is eventually forced to admit that she's never tried it. When Mochi shares a blueberry tart with her, she discovers that she really likes blueberries. |
| 391 | * {{Tritagonist}}: The third most important character after Treat and Mochi, and her story forms a great portion of the plot. |
| 392 | * UnexpectedKindness: She's genuinely appalled to see Mochi go out of her way to be nice to her in the second game. |
| 393 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Moxie acting tough in front of Juju in "Friendly Bunny Mochi" indirectly leads to the latter's capture by Salt and Pepper, which in turn leads to Juju kicking Mochi out of Frosting, driving a big wedge in their relationship. |
| 394 | * WellDoneDaughterGirl: Moxie has a sour relationship with her mother and really hopes to earn her favor. [[spoiler:She gives up after being evicted from the Foxy Lodge]]. |

| 398 | !!Trick |
| 399 | [[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trick_portrait.png]] |
| 400 | [[caption-width-right:225:''"Have a good day tomorrow!"'']] |
| 401 | ->'''Appears in:''' ''Wandering Wolf Trick'', ''Dreaming Treat'' (dream sequence), ''Trick Comes Home''\ |
| 402 | '''Also appears in:''' ''DATE TREAT'', ''another piece of candy'', ''Dress Treat!'' (costume only) |
| 403 | |
| 404 | Trick is the protagonist of the fourth and eight game. They are an agender wolf that joined Treat's pack five years prior to the events of the series. They used to be a domesticated wolf, living with a human they only ever refer to as "Master". Trick ended up growing closer with Treat, becoming her best friend. When Treat disappears one morning, Trick sets out on a journey to find her. |
| 405 | ---- |
| 406 | * AccidentalHero: Drop meeting Trick is what leads to her leaving Wormwood and start a new life. |
| 407 | * AllLovingHero: Trick is kind to everyone they meet, and sees the best in everyone no matter what. |
| 408 | * AloneAmongFamilies: Since Trick joined as an outsider, they're the only one without immediate family in the pack. Not that it bothers them, because they're considered family by everyone regardless. |
| 409 | * AlwaysWithYou: Trick [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/104/ cites]] this trope as the reason they never feel lonely while traveling, because they know someone is thinking about them somewhere. |
| 410 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: We know Trick was raised by a human, but unlike the other three protagonists, no mention is ever made of their biological parents. A strip from "Another Piece of Candy" reveals that they abandoned Trick. |
| 411 | * AudienceWhatAudience: |
| 412 | ** [[spoiler:In the true ending of Date Trick, the protagonist will complain about this game being the only one that allowed them to have an actual date instead of a joke one like the previous two entries, leaving Trick confused]]. |
| 413 | ** A more dramatic example in the actual series, [[spoiler:going to the VisualNovel/BadEndTheater will lead to Trick meeting Orchid and Lilium, the two witches running the theater. Both of them seem to be aware of the fictional nature of the world. Lilium in particular also addresses the player with the offer of bad endings, which leaves Trick understandably confused]]. |
| 414 | * BeneathTheMask: While Trick's sunny disposition is real and true most of the time, sometimes it is a mask for their hurt feelings over their master leaving. |
| 415 | * BestFriend: Trick is Treat's best friend. |
| 416 | * BreakTheCutie: |
| 417 | ** When Trick found their master gone, they were distraught. They also face some hostility on their journey to find Treat. |
| 418 | ** Chapter 8 puts Trick through some more of this: [[spoiler:They find out that their master was hiding his involvement in writing the controversial All-in-one Book of Lore from them and this is why he had to leave them]]. Trick later helps an animals rights activist group in a mission to retrieve a chicken egg from a chicken farm for their campaign, and the sinister implications of what happens to the chicken later leaves the near-perpetually cheery wolf very distressed. |
| 419 | * BrokenHero: Was abandoned by their parents at a young age, then they were taken in by a human, only to be abandoned again years later. Despite their sad backstory, Trick turned out unfailingly polite and optimistic. |
| 420 | * BrokenPedestal: Downplayed. Trick discovers that there was more to their master than they knew, and they're heartbroken but still thinks what he preached is important and continues looking for him. |
| 421 | * BrokenTears: While we don't see them, it is implied Trick cried when they found out about their master's disappearance from Treat's comforting words: |
| 422 | -->'''Treat:''' H-hey... It's okay... You can still...stay with us, so...don't cry... |
| 423 | * TheBusCameBack: After being put in the background for three whole games, Trick is back in the spotlight as the player character of the eight chapter. |
| 424 | * ButNowIMustGo: At the end of ''Wandering Wolf Trick'', they tell Treat that they must leave because they want to travel more around the world. |
| 425 | * CelibateHero: |
| 426 | ** The webcomic states that Trick never had a crush before, and that they don't really have a type they'd be romantically interested in. Officially confirmed in ''Lucky Number Moxie'', when Powder reveals that he's not interested in having a romantic partner, and Trick is also like that. |
| 427 | ** This is also hilariously referenced in ''Trick Comes Home'' when Trick talks to a mouse in Krem who mistakes them for a jackal and thinks they're trying to trick people into thinking that by being hooded. If Trick talks to the mouse again, they'll comment that lying too much prevents you from finding a husband. Trick just internally thinks "I'm not looking for a husband..." |
| 428 | * DemotedToExtra: Trick goes from being the playable character of the fourth game to not appearing in the fifth (aside from sending postcards and a dream sequence), sixth (mentioned once or twice) and seventh game (only mentioned a few times). Justified because they are always travelling, thus they're not involved in the main plot. They finally get back in the spotlight with the eight chapter. |
| 429 | * {{Determinator}}: Trick never gives up on their search for Treat, even after they've been looking for weeks. This also gives them the motivation to look for their master. |
| 430 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: |
| 431 | ** After they find Treat at the end of the fourth chapter, Trick realizes how fun traveling is and sets off on a journey to explore more places. However, by doing this, they neglected to assure the pack that Treat is okay and because they live in [[WanderingCulture Vanilla]] and have no way to receive mail, Trick couldn't inform them that way either. |
| 432 | ** Minor example concerning the same situation: Trick didn't consider what to say to Treat after finding her, nor whether she wanted to be followed. Thankfully, both are easily resolved once they meet and talk. |
| 433 | * DramaticallyMissingThePoint: It never occurs to Trick that the mice of Wormwood [[spoiler:eat the travelers that come by them]]. |
| 434 | * DullEyesOfUnhappiness: If something manages to genuinely upset Trick, their smile falters a little bit and their eyes become greyed out. |
| 435 | * EasilyImpressed: Due to them being raised as pet, Trick doesn't have a lot of knowledge about the outside world and a lot of mundane things catch their attention. Case in point, they're amazed by the igloos the wolf pack builds as home, even though Treat pointed out that everyone helped build it and it was nothing. |
| 436 | * ExtremeDoormat: Trick may be more outgoing than Treat, but is actually not much braver than her. They tend to brush off any slight committed against them, and are no good at dealing with hostile people. |
| 437 | * FriendToAllChildren: Trick's incredibly friendly, approachable demeanor allows them to easily befriend children, even ones who are initially scared of them. Sadly, the children's parents are not so easily calmed. |
| 438 | * GenerationXerox: [[spoiler:Just as Trick was HappilyAdopted by their human master, Trick would adopt the chick that hatched from the egg they stole from the Chickpea Enchanted Farm and name it]]. |
| 439 | * GentleGiant: [[https://cohost.org/nomnomnami/post/5216234-no-they-only-have-he The tallest of the four main characters]] and also the purest and most kindhearted. |
| 440 | * GoodCannotComprehendEvil: It's completely lost on Trick that [[spoiler:the mice of Wormwood are a cult preying on travelers who pass near their village]]. |
| 441 | * {{Hammerspace}}: While this somewhat applies to all the main characters, it is the most obvious with Trick, who brings their lantern, sleeping bag, and winter clothes with them on their travels despite having no obvious way to carry them. At least Moxie has a backpack. |
| 442 | * HandHolding: Regardless of where you take them in Date Trick, they will always offer to hold hands with the protagonist while heading back. |
| 443 | * HappilyAdopted: Though not much is known about their life together, it is clear that Trick loved their master a lot. |
| 444 | * TheHeart: Their positive attitude helps keep everyone's spirits up in Vanilla. In the seventh chapter, Powder notes that Trick's departure caused a noticeable drop in the pack's mood. |
| 445 | * HeartwarmingOrphan: The only lead character who didn't grow up with both biological parents, and Trick's one of the kindest and most likeable characters as well. |
| 446 | * HelpMistakenForAttack: In the witch town, when they were trying to help a kitten find their mother, the latter shows up thinking Trick is intending to hurt them. |
| 447 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: The plot of Chapter 4 takes place over the course of the first three games, meaning Trick's journey to find Treat has been kept in the background for some time before being shown. It carries on till Chapter 8 as well, since Trick has been DemotedToExtra and sending postcards to Treat and Mochi about their travels. |
| 448 | * HeroicBSOD: |
| 449 | ** When they found out that their master abandoned them. |
| 450 | ** Part 1 of Chapter 8 also has them horrified over what happens to the chicken in the Chickpea Enchanted Farm. |
| 451 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 452 | ** Apparently Trick is a good chef, though that is currently stuck as a mere fact stated in the webcomic. |
| 453 | ** [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/310/ Another one from the comics]], albeit actually shown. Trick is good at RockPaperScissors, though weirdly they can only get a tie against Moxie four times in a row. They credit their master for teaching them, and even Treat comments that they never lose. |
| 454 | * HonestyAesop: Trick gives one in Date Trick when asked what they value most in a friend, their answer being sincerity. |
| 455 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Almost everything the mice of Wormwood say indicates that they [[spoiler:''eat travelers'']]. However, Trick is under the impression that they just save the best food for guests, and never figures it out even after Drop helps them escape. |
| 456 | * IAmNotWeasel: Trick is mistaken as a jackal by some characters in Krem due to the hood they have on to protect themself from the desert heat. |
| 457 | * IncompatibleOrientation: Treat reveals in ''Lucky Number Moxie'' that she thought she had feelings for Trick, albeit not the same feelings she has for Mochi and Moxie. Regardless, with the confirmation that Trick is aromantic, their relationship wouldn't have gone anywhere. |
| 458 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: The thought of doing something bad never crosses Trick's mind, even if they are mistreated by others, and they are always going out of their way to help and be kind. |
| 459 | * InformedAbility: The webcomic classifies them as one of the good cooks of Nami's universe, but we're yet to see that in-game. |
| 460 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Trick sometimes says offensive things to people without intending to, such as the mice of Wormwood where they assumed their caretaker The Highest Power is the sun, or the cat child whom they mistook for a girl upon meeting them. |
| 461 | * InnocentMeansNaive: Trick is a purely good wolf, and while they do understand things like wolves having a bad reputation, they completely fail to understand [[spoiler:the true intentions of the mice in Wormwood]]. |
| 462 | * InterspeciesAdoption: |
| 463 | ** After being abandoned by their biological parents, Trick was taken in by their human master. |
| 464 | ** Trick themselves pull this [[spoiler:with the egg they steal from the Chickpea Enchanted Farm, even giving it a name]]. |
| 465 | * IWillFindYou: |
| 466 | ** The whole premise of ''Wandering Wolf Trick''. After Treat's disappearance, Trick set out on a journey to find her. |
| 467 | ** The success of the endeavor above convinces Trick to try the same with their master. It remains to be seen if they'll be successful again. |
| 468 | * JourneyToFindOneself: Trick's conversation with Treat at the end of the fourth chapter has shades of this, with them talking about losing the home they've been looking for and now having to find a new one somewhere else. |
| 469 | * {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://soundcloud.com/nomnomnami/trick Trick]]'' and ''[[https://soundcloud.com/nomnomnami/vanilla Vanilla]]''. |
| 470 | * LineOfSightAlias: When infiltrating Chickpea Enchanted Farm, Trick's codename will be based on whatever they bought from the vending machine. If you don't buy anything, Trick defaults to "Granola". |
| 471 | * MeaningfulEcho: |
| 472 | ** Trick's goodbye to Treat at the end of the fourth game, which mirrors Treat's last words to Trick before running away from the pack. |
| 473 | ** Trick will also echo Drop's words to a witch in Krem who thinks it's ridiculous a mouse could eat a jackal. |
| 474 | * NaiveNewcomer: Trick shows signs of being this in the witch town due to it being their first time in a big city, such as not understanding how to make a wish with the water fountain. |
| 475 | * NiceGuy: Trick is considerate, cheerful, and polite to everybody they meet. |
| 476 | * NightmareFuelStationAttendant: In [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/314/ this strip]] of the comic, Trick gives off a rather...intimidating aura while asking Mochi not to interfere between their game of RockPaperScissors with Moxie, who ended up so scared that she gave up trying. |
| 477 | * NobleWolf: Like Treat, Trick is not at all like the perceived image of predators most characters have. |
| 478 | * NotWhatItLooksLike: In the witch town, Trick runs into a lost kitten child and tries to help them find their mom. [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished All this does is make the mother think Trick is trying to eat her child and yell at them]]. |
| 479 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Trick's optimism and cheerfulness almost never wavers, unless something truly personal shakes them, which was the case with their master's disappearance. |
| 480 | * ParentalAbandonment: |
| 481 | ** It was left ambiguous in-game how Trick ended up living with their human master, whether their parents died or abandoned them. [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/234/ This Q&A comic strip]] confirms it to be the latter. |
| 482 | ** You could argue this happened again with their human master when he left, even if it was done for Trick's sake. |
| 483 | * ParentalSubstitute: Like their master before them, Trick [[spoiler:decides to become a parent figure to the little chick who hatched from the egg they stole from the Chickpea Enchanted Farm]]. |
| 484 | * PerpetualPoverty: Trick spends months searching for Treat, all without a single dollar in their pocket. They rely on foraging and the kindness of strangers to survive. |
| 485 | * PerpetualSmiler: It even says so in their bio in-game, and indeed, Trick almost always has a smile their face. Even when they're sad or distressed, their smile wavers but does not completely fade. |
| 486 | * PlatonicKissing: At the end of ''Wandering Wolf Trick'', Trick has the option to kiss the sleeping Treat's forehead before leaving. |
| 487 | * ThePollyanna: Trick is unfailingly optimistic, and doesn't let anything, no matter how bad, weight them down. |
| 488 | * RaisedByHumans: Unlike most characters, Trick was raised by a human and they lived together in his cabin. |
| 489 | * RedIsHeroic: Trick is a red wolf and is very kindhearted and helpful to everyone. |
| 490 | * RedOniBlueOni: The upbeat, outgoing red to Treat's depressed and withdrawn blue. It even fits with them being a red wolf and a grey wolf, respectively. |
| 491 | * TheRedeemer: Unintentionally so for Drop, since [[spoiler:they never figured out that the mice are a dangerous cult eating passerbys]]. Meeting Trick convinced the mouse to leave her life in Wormwood behind. |
| 492 | * SadClown: It seems Trick occasionally cracks jokes about their master's disappearance to cope, as seen in Chapter 8: |
| 493 | -->'''Trick:''' ''(entering Myrrh's cabin for the first time in years)'' Master, I'm home~! Haha... just kidding. Of course you aren't here. |
| 494 | * SeriousBusiness: In [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/314/ this]] comic strip, after Trick ties with Moxie four times in a row playing RockPaperScissors, Mochi tries to stop them because it's getting too competitive. Trick however, tells her not to intervene with a strangely unnerving aura that actually made Moxie [[KnowWhenToFoldThem quit]]. |
| 495 | * SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers: When Treat's pack discovers her disappearance, Powder is worried and even suggests that she could've gotten buried under the snow during the avalanche, but Trick rebukes it by saying that there's no use in thinking something so sad and sets out to find Treat. |
| 496 | * StaticCharacter: While [[TookALevelInCheerfulness Treat]], [[TookALevelInCynic Mochi]] and [[TookALevelInKindness Moxie]] undergo CharacterDevelopment as the series goes on, Trick doesn't; remaining the nice optimistic person they are. Their journey revolves more around dealing with their master's disappearance and coming to terms with it. |
| 497 | * StepfordSmiler: Downplayed. Trick is a genuine [[ThePollyanna Pollyanna]] and tries to think positively about their master's disappearance, but deep down they still feel hurt by it. |
| 498 | * SupremeChef: Though [[InformedAbility we never actually see them cook in-game]], [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/91/ the webcomic]] says Trick is a good cook. It is implied that they were the pack's TeamChef before they left. |
| 499 | * TerribleArtist: Downplayed. [[https://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/82/ Their art]] is no worse than Treat's (who already thinks she's not very good) but it does get a laugh out of her, possibly from how silly it looks. |
| 500 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Trick enjoys eating trail mix in the games, but according to [[http://another-piece-of-candy.thecomicseries.com/comics/104/ the webcomic]], their favorite food is actually mushrooms. |
| 501 | * VegetarianCarnivore: Unlike Treat, Trick has never eaten meat in their life. |
| 502 | * VirtuousVegetarianism: When Trick arrives to the witch town, they meet a kitten who lost their mother in the market. The kitten is terrified, thinking Trick will eat them but the wolf assures them that they are vegetarian. |
| 503 | * WalkingTheEarth: Trick visits many different places while searching for Treat. Upon finding Treat, Trick realizes they love traveling and decides to keep going. In ''Dreaming Treat'', they periodically send Treat and Mochi postcards from the places they visit. |
| 504 | * WelcomeToTheBigCity: As Trick tells Nougat, the witch town is the first big town they ever visited. |
