| 13 | \ |
| 14 | The son and squire of Henri of Orange, Jimmy is the protagonist of the series and is known for using his smarts to solve problems as opposed to strength. |
| 15 | ---- |
| 16 | %%* AcquiredSituationalNarciccism: At the beginning of 'The Mean Team', the trio's victory against the Black Rats, the Cursed Forest Witch and Bad Jack goes to his head. |
| 17 | * AffectionateNickname: Cat and Henri call him anything from "Jim", "Jimbo" or "Jimster" from time to time. |
| 18 | * AllTheOtherReindeer: He's given this treatment due to his out-of-box thinking, which clashes with the more traditional mindset of other knights. "How to Save a Princess" is a perfect example of this. |
| 19 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: As the episode "Attack of the 50ft Squire" implies, Jimmy becomes huge due to drinking a growth potion he stole from Perlin, while the latter was nodding off in the forest of Epic. |
| 20 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: In "Fashion Victims", he's initially uninterested in a smart-mirror that Wilfreid seemingly advertises to him specifically as part of the white knight's B.W.K. product line... until Wilfreid mentions that it comes with the latest "Angry Knights" game. |
| 21 | %%* Attack Reflector: |
| 22 | %%** In 'Witch Hunters', while he and Cat disguise themselves together as a knight, |
| 23 | %%** He does it again in "The Helmet of Epic" by using the helmet's horns to redirect the Cursed Forest Witch's frog transformation spell. |
| 24 | * BehemothBattle: After becoming a giant in "Attack of the 50ft Squire", his tussle with the Cyclops counts as this. |
| 25 | * BigThinShortTrio: He's the short to Cat's thin and Henri's big on a regular day, with Bjorn being the occasional substitute on the big part. |
| 26 | * BirdsOfAFeather: He (the brainy squire) and Cat (the brawny princess) are both steadfast nonconformists when it comes to the roles they're meant to play in the Kingdom of Epic. Additionally, they are both primarily raised by single parents that are the same gender as them (him by Henri, Cat by the Queen), with no mention as to what happened to the opposing gender parents in their respective families ([[MissingMom his mother]] and Cat's father). |
| 27 | * BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The redhead to best friend Cat's brunette and arch-enemy Lance's blonde. |
| 28 | * CowardlyLion: Jimmy's physical attributes aren't his strong point, and he's well aware of this. As a result, he gets nervous when faced with situations where he needs to rely on physical skills. He gets on with it, certainly, but there's a reason he prefers to think his way out of a jam. Of course, if Henri or Cat are in danger, he becomes almost completely fearless. |
| 29 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His eyes appear to be the same carroty color as his hair. |
| 30 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: This sometimes happens with his plans, such as the time he and Cat managed to get the Witch's wand away from her, only for her to correctly point out he has no idea how to use it. |
| 31 | * EmbarrassingMiddleName: His is Ralph. Cat teasingly reveals this in 'Epic Ballroom'. |
| 32 | * EurekaMoment: In almost every episode, when Jimmy thinks of a plan to save the day. His eureka moments are usually punctuated by flashbacks to events earlier in the episode. |
| 33 | * EvilDoppelganger: He winds up getting several by accident after saving the Knight of Red from being cloned in the "Red Dawn". |
| 34 | * FakeUltimateHero: Jimmy becomes one in "Queen's Guard", taking all the credit from rescuing the Queen from the Black Rats. Cat, who helped him but wasn't supposed to be there, is extremely upset and betrayed by this. |
| 35 | * FightMagnet: The titular helmet he gets from Bjorn in "The Helmet of Epic" causes him to become this. |
| 36 | * ForcedSleep: It's revealed towards the end of "Epic Dream" [[spoiler: that ''he'' caused everyone in Epic to fall asleep and get caught up in the same SharedDream by accident, after carelessly reading a sleep-inducing spell from a spell book that was lying around.]] |
| 37 | %%* ForcedTransformation: After Jimmy, Cat and Henri get captured by the Cursed Forest Witch at the beginning of "Getting Cheesy", with the help of the Black Rats, the witch places a [[{{Curse}} curse]] on him and Henri that will turn them both into cheese wheels if Cat doesn't take her to the castle by [[WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve midnight]]. Unfortunately, due to a failed attempt on his part, the leader gets the idea to speed up the witch's clock to invoke the curse. If not for the fact that Jimmy and his father were still able to talk, think and move to some degree, they would've been done for. |
| 38 | * FriendlyEnemy: While he and Lance remain enemies for the entirety of the show, they briefly share a surprisingly chummy moment or two with each other while being chided by Colbert for not being able to work together at the beginning of "Epic Ballroom". |
| 39 | * GadgeteerGenius: At the start of "Who's the Squire", Jimmy reveals that he and his father have been developing a "telescopic" [[JoustingLance lance]] for quite some time. |
| 40 | * HeroesGoneFishing: "The Cat and the Swan" starts with Jimmy and Henri fishing. |
| 41 | * HornedHumanoid: He counts when wearing the cursed helmet in "The Helmet of Epic", which has horns on it. |
| 42 | * IgnoredEpiphany: After he seemingly learns his lesson at the end of 'The Helmet of Epic' (that great knights don't need fancy armor), an old lady shows up offering to sell the trio armored boots that supposedly make the wearer [[{{Invisibility}} invisible]]. Jimmy immediately gets excited about them, prompting Henri and Cat to grab him, hop on Torpedo and hurry back to Epic. |
| 43 | * IndyPloy: While his plans don't always work out, he is quite capable of modifying them on the fly or coming up with new ones. |
| 44 | * InterspeciesFriendship: Jimmy and Cat are both good friends with Bjorn, Bad Jack's son. Unfortunately, because dragons are mortal enemies of knights and princesses, they have to keep their friendship with Bjorn a secret. |
| 45 | * ItsAllMyFault: |
| 46 | ** In "How to Save a Princess", he thinks that because he was trying to be clever, he caused Cat to be kidnapped (or at least, it caused him to not be there when she needed him). |
| 47 | ** In "Old Red", because it was him that let it slip to the Knight of Red's father that he was a gym teacher rather than an acting knight, he feels responsible for the Red Knight's decision to go off and fight Bad Jack on his own. Granted, being the given the privilege of driving the wagon for the ClassTrip that Henri takes the kids [[SubvertedTrope does help to alleviate some of his guilt]], but only briefly. |
| 48 | * KidHero: He's a squire who happens to also be the protagonist. |
| 49 | * LostHimInACardGame: He loses Torpedo in a horse race against Lance at the start of 'Not So Fast'. To be fair, he and Torpedo were actually ''very'' close to winning the race fair and square. They only lost because Lance was able to use special horshshoe gadgets called "Hipster Hooves" to make Torpedo break into a dancing frenzy when he and Jimmy were ''mere feet'' away from the finish line. |
| 50 | * MagicPants: When he becomes a giant in "Attack of the 50ft Squire", his clothes grow with him. |
| 51 | * MirrorsReflectEverything: While he and Cat are [[TotemPoleTrench disguised together as a mystery knight]] towards the end of 'Witch Hunters', they redirect the Cursed Forest Witch's frog spell back at her with a mirror attached to a shield, which they hide under a wooden makeshift shield. |
| 52 | * MissingMom: No sign of Jimmy's mother to be found. |
| 53 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After Cat is captured by Bad Jack in the first episode. |
| 54 | -->'''Jimmy''': What... did I do? |
| 55 | * MyGrandmaCanDoBetterThanYou: He gets under Bad Jack's scales with this type of insult towards the end of "How to Save a Princess". |
| 56 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: |
| 57 | ** Lance reacts this way towards him after Cat gets kidnapped by Bad Jack at the start of "How to Save a Princess", claiming that it was Jimmy's attempt at being "fresh" that caused the kidnapping. |
| 58 | ** Agreeing to Lance's horse racing challenge at the start of 'Not So Fast' can be seen as this for Jimmy, not only for the sheer fact that it was wrong of Jimmy to gamble with Torpedo's freedom in the first place, but also because it was unusually shortsighted of him to think that Lance would race him without cheating in some way. |
| 59 | ** Much to his dismay, he finds out from Perlin toward the end of "Epic Dream" [[spoiler: that it was ''his'' fault that all of Epic is asleep and [[SharedDream sharing the same magic dream]].]] |
| 60 | * NoSell: Towards the end of "The Helmet of Epic", the one ''good'' thing that helmet does is protect Jimmy from Bad Jack's [[BreathWeapon fire breath]]. |
| 61 | * SaveThePrincess: An interesting case, as he and Henri ''do'' manage to save Cat from Bad Jack in "How to Save a Princess", but only after he goes back to being the "man with the plan" that he is. |
| 62 | * SkewedPriorities: |
| 63 | ** At the start of "Fashion Victims", he's initially on one accord with Cat in terms of being both unimpressed by and suspicious of Wilfreid's B.W.K. products...until Wilfreid ropes him in with a B.W.K. smart-mirror that has the latest Angry Knights game on it. |
| 64 | ** Throughout "The Road Knight", he's anxious to help Henri recover the supply carriages that have been stolen by the Black Rats, but only because said carriages contain a box of Angry Knights 2 games. |
| 65 | * TheSmartGuy: He comes with lots of plans, some more practical than others. |
| 66 | * TheSquire: Like many of his peers in Epic, he's a knight-in-training. |
| 67 | * StrongGirlSmartGuy: With Cat. He's more of a thinker and a planner despite being a knight in training, while Cat is the fighter of the duo despite being a princess. This dynamic unsurprisingly makes them outcasts in their respective peer groups. |
| 68 | * TakeAThirdOption: Prone to doing this to solve a problem. |
| 69 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: He and Lance are forced to attend dance class together in "Epic Ballroom", as a means of learning teamwork. |
| 70 | * TenMinuteRetirement: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. While Cat getting kidnapped by Bad Jack in "How to Save a Princess" doesn't discourage him from his knight training entirely, it ''does'' discourage him from trying to being "fresh", as he feels that it was his nontraditional attempt at rescuing Cat (by using the service elevator) during the princess-saving exercise that got her kidnapped in the first place. Thankfully, Cat gets him to snap out of it. |
| 71 | * TotemPoleTrench: While sitting on Cat's shoulders, they disguise themselves as a newly arrived knight as part of their plan to defeat the Cursed Forest Witch in "Witch Hunters". |
| 72 | * TwoGuysAndAGirl: He and his father Henri are the two guys to his best friend Catherine's lone girl. |
| 73 | * UseYourHead: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Midway through "The Helmet of Epic", Jimmy, while wearing said helmet, defeats the Cyclops by headbutting the giant's feet, causing him to trip and fall over the edge of a cliff. However, the feat is seemingly accomplished by virtue of the magic energy surrounding the helmet, with no real physical contact between Jimmy and the Cyclops at all. |
| 74 | * YouthfulFreckles |

| 84 | |
| 85 | \ |
| 86 | Jimmy's dad. He is both a knight and a minstrel. |
| 87 | ---- |
| 88 | * TheAce: Despite being goofy and eccentric, Henri is an extremely courageous and competent knight. He's been able to put up a good fight against Bad Jack solo on at least two occasions. |
| 89 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: His personality was a bit more glory hound in 850 Meters than it is here. |
| 90 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: In "Old Red", when the Knight of Red goes on a borderline ''suicidal'' quest to capture Bad Jack, Henri ends up being the new teacher in his stead. When Jimmy's expresses concern over the Knight of Red's safety during said quest, Henri assures him that the Red Knight will be alright while tousling his hair, which causes Lance and a few other classmates of Jimmy to snicker amongst themselves. |
| 91 | * ApologeticAttacker: After knocking out one of Jimmy's clones in 'Red Dawn', he feels bad and apologizes. |
| 92 | * BerserkButton: The only thing that makes him angry is when a dragon ruins everyone's good time. Which when you take into account his first appearance (Where a group of dragons tricked him into becoming a human projectile) make sense. |
| 93 | * TheBet: Jimmy essentially forces him into one with Wilfreid at the beginning of 'Epic Traffic', where the one who gets the least points for the title of First Knight has to shine the winner's armor. Thankfully, he wins, but not without getting tripped up by some unsurprisingly underhanded actions on Wilfreid's part. |
| 94 | * BigThinShortTrio: He's the big to Jimmy's short and Cat's thin on a regular day, with Bjorn being an occasional substitute for him on the big part. |
| 95 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His eyes appear to be the same carroty color as his hair, a trait he passed on to Jimmy. |
| 96 | * CutenessProximity: In 'Fashion Victims', he politely refuses a special saddle that Wilfreid offers him as part of the latter's B.W.K. product line. That is, until Wilfreid convinces him to buy it by claiming that ''kittens'' come with it. |
| 97 | * DemotedToExtra: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. While he's one of the main characters of the show, the show revolves more so around his son Jimmy. |
| 98 | * ElegantClassicalMusician: A male variant, Henri is quite skilled on the mandolin. |
| 99 | * EnemyMine: |
| 100 | ** He and Wilfreid form a temporary alliance midway through 'The Challenge' to save Jimmy and Lance from Bad Jack. Granted, despite being SarcasmBlind to an insulting question from Wilfreid moments earlier, Henri has enough sense to be suspicious of the white knight when the latter suggests they team up. |
| 101 | ** When he and Bad Jack find out that both Jimmy and Bjorn are being held captive by the Cyclops in 'My Knight, My Dragon and Me', they agree to team up and confront the Cyclops together for the boys' sake. |
| 102 | * ForcedTransformation: In 'Getting Cheesy', the witch places a curse on him and Jimmy that turns them both into cheese wheels for the Black Rats to eat. |
| 103 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: 'Guess Who's Coming for Dinner' implies that he's this to a fault. According to Jimmy, Henri has brought home very problematic animal "guests", including a porcupine (that stung Jimmy when he tried to relax on the couch), a skunk (that stunk up the Oranges' house), a boar (that ate Jimmy's dinner) a bear (that tried to make Jimmy ''its'' dinner), an alligator (that ate their couch), and even a ''dragon'' (that ate their ''house''). Henri explains himself by reminding Jimmy that "a knight must always help creatures in distress", and not just people. Unfortunately, this personality trait influences him to temporarily [[spoiler: take in the ''Cursed Forest Witch'' until she gets back on her feet.]] |
| 104 | * HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Though to his credit he does wear chain mail around his head. |
| 105 | * HeroesGoneFishing: 'The Cat and the Swan' starts with Henri and Jimmy fishing. |
| 106 | * ICallItVera: Calls his mandolin Mandi. |
| 107 | * Irony: The fact that a dragon was amongst the many animal "friends" that Henri brought home with him (as noted by Jimmy in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner") is odd given that, as nice and open-minded as he is, dragons being mortal enemies of knights is one of the few things Henri won't budge on. |
| 108 | * KnightInShiningArmor |
| 109 | * MorphicResonance: When transformed into a frog in 'Witch Hunters', he has orange spots all over his otherwise green skin, for obvious reasons. |
| 110 | * NiceGuy: He's both a loving, supportive father to Jimmy and arguably the most noble knight in all of Epic. Furthermore, despite his fear of what would happen if it ever got out that he and Jimmy took Cat with them on their adventures, he's more than happy to have her tag along otherwise. |
| 111 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: He almost lets Cat's name slip as he cheers her on in 'Who's the Squire'. Though he tries his best to clear it up at the last second by suddenly saying "Mystery Squire", the Queen gets suspicious nonetheless. |
| 112 | * OlderThanTheyThink: First appear in in 850 Meters. |
| 113 | * ParryingBullets: In 'Operation Apple Pie', he defeats the Poison Apple Witch by knocking one of her sleep-inducing apples back at her with his sword. |
| 114 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When Jimmy admits he accidentally destroyed his prized mandolin, Henri tells him that he's far more important than a mandolin. |
| 115 | ** He proves to be this throughout the series |
| 116 | * SarcasmBlind: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]]. About halfway through 'The Challenge', when Wilfreid mockingly asks him if he's helped any old ladies cross the street lately, Henri cheerfully answers yes, clearly missing the scathing tone of the question. Not only that, he also mistakes the question as a sign of Wilfreid's genuine interest in caring for the elderly. ''Wilfreid'', of all people. |
| 117 | * ShieldSurf: At the end of 'Epic Traffic', he decides to teach Jimmy the "importance" of a shiny shield. Cue him and Jimmy happily surfing on his shield, after it had ''just'' been cleaned by Wilfried no less after the latter lost the wager between him and Henri in the First Knight competition. |
| 118 | * TeasingTheSubstituteTeacher: He falls victim to this in "Old Red", when (as said above) he has to temporarily take the Knight of Red's place as teacher when the latter goes on a quest to fight Bad Jack. |
| 119 | * TopHeavyGuy: He has a buff torso yet reasonably skinny legs. This is pretty much the standard build for all the knights in Epic. |
| 120 | * TwoGuysAndAGirl: He and his son Jimmy are the two guys to Catherine's lone girl. |
| 121 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: In 'Witch Hunters', after hearing his son's plan, Henri allows himself to be turned into a frog over and over again, in an attempt to wear out the batteries in the Witch's wand. |
| 122 | * WeaponTwirling: In 'Henri the Rockstar', he does this with his mandolin cleverly defeating the RockMonster. |

| 129 | %%[[caption-width-right:260:some caption text]] |
| 130 | |
| 131 | \ |
| 132 | Jimmy's best friend and partner in adventure. Also the crown princess of Epic, as her mother is the Queen. More of a fighter than a typical damsel in distress, her goal is to one day become a "princess knight". |
| 133 | ---- |
| 134 | * ActionGirl: Despite still being a child like Jimmy, she's clearly much more physically capable than he is when it comes to fighting. |
| 135 | * AffectionateNickname: "Cat" by Jimmy, and occasionally Henri. |
| 136 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Cat's tanned, lightly-freckled skin and brown hair are apparently of some indeterminate ethnic background. |
| 137 | * BadLiar: Midway through 'The Challenge', Wilfreid calls her out as such when she tries to come up with an excuse to Henri and him as to why Jimmy and Lance are late for the Squire-Knight Monster Calling Competition. |
| 138 | * BedsheetLadder: At the beginning of 'How to Save a Princess', Cat tries to use one during the Red Knight's princess saving class before getting captured by Bad Jack. At the end of the episode, while she's stuck in Bad Jack's tower, Jimmy gets her to make another one, which they use to defeat Bad Jack. |
| 139 | * BigSisterInstinct: A cousin variant towards Louie in 'Operation Apple Pie'. While Cat isn't exactly thrilled about having to babysit him, it's shown over the course of the episode that she still loves him dearly. When she and Jimmy break into the Poison Apple Witch's house to rescue him after he accidentally traps himself inside, she's quick to hug him and express how glad she is that he's unarmed. Additionally, after she gets hit by one of the witch's sleep-inducing apples, she tries to get Louie to run away to safety by suggesting it as a "new game". He chooses to [[MagicKiss kiss her]] instead, which breaks the spell and reveals that he has a "''prince's'' kiss" in conjunction with her own "princess' kiss". |
| 140 | * BigThinShortTrio: She's the thin to Jimmy's short and Henri's big on a regular day, with Bjorn being the occasional substitute on the big part. |
| 141 | * BirdsOfAFeather: She (the brawny princess) and Jimmy (the brainy squire) are both steadfast nonconformists when it comes to the roles they're meant to play in the Kingdom of Epic. Additionally, they are both primarily raised by single parents that are the same gender as them (her by the Queen, Jimmy by Henri), with no mention as to what happened to the opposing gender parents in their respective families ([[DisappearedDad her father]] and Jimmy's mother). |
| 142 | * {{Blackmail}}: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]]. She's initially the victim of this by Lance at the start of "Caught on Tape", due to the latter finding a video of her fighting the Cyclops, knowing it would disgrace the Queen. However, Cat manages to get back at him in the same manner by the end of the episode, by claiming she recorded an video of him screaming and fainting after getting "captured" by Bjorn (really a plan by her and Jimmy). |
| 143 | * BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The brunette to best friend Jimmy's redhead and enemy Lance's blonde. |
| 144 | * ComicalOverreacting: When Cat fails to stop Jimmy from putting on the helmet and fleeing the Orange's house, she tries to go after him, but he's blocked the door with a huge hunk of rock. After her punches and kicks fail to make a dent, Cat falls to her knees crying Jimmy's name (complete with a BigNo) and pounding her hand against the floor. That is until Henri coughs and opens the other exit. |
| 145 | * CoolBigSis: Again, for her little cousin Louie in 'Operation Apple Pie'. As mentioned above, she's annoyed about having to look after him at first, and after he accidentally sets off an alarm inside the Poison Apple Witch's house that traps him, she only seems worried about getting in trouble for not watching him. However, when she and Jimmy get inside the Poison Apple Witch's house to rescue Louie, the first thing she does is hug him, showing that she does love him. Additionally, when she then asks him why he followed her and the Oranges to the Poison Apple Witch's house, he answers that he wanted to "play adventure" too, leaving Cat moved to the point of [[{{Squee}} Squeeing]] that her love of adventure was rubbing off on him. After he uses his "''prince's'' kiss" to wake her up after she gets hit by one of the witch's apples, she gladly catches him in her arms when he jumps up to hug her again. |
| 146 | * DisappearedDad: No sign of Cat's dad, the King, though the King's armor is mentioned in "Attack of the 50 ft. Squire". |
| 147 | * ElegantClassicalMusician: Plays the flute to her chagrin (Though it did help in at least one situation) |
| 148 | * FashionableAsymmetry: She wears a single pauldron on her left shoulder as part of her adventuring attire. |
| 149 | * FeminineMotherTomboyishDaughter: The tomboyish daughter to the Queen's feminine mother. |
| 150 | * ForcedTransformation: Like many of the show's characters, Cat gets transformed into a frog in "Witch Hunters". In the episode right after, "Bad Bad Mandolin", she gets transformed into... a [[VisualPun cat]]. |
| 151 | * GirlInTheTower: Played with. In 'How to Save a Princess', she goes from simply being one for the princess saving exercise to being one for real once she gets kidnapped by Bad Jack. |
| 152 | * GracefulLadiesLikePurple: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Cat may wear purple, but she's very much a {{Tomboy}}. |
| 153 | * GreenEyedMonster: An interesting case as it only occurs due to her getting annoyed when Jimmy lets glory go to his head when they did it together (Doesn't help she can't reveal that since she not suppose to go on adventure so can't reveal to Jimmy revelers what really happen.) |
| 154 | * HeroicSacrifice: A non-fatal example given the nature of the show, but in 'Witch Hunters', she pushes Jimmy into some bushes just as the witch is about to turn him into frog, becoming one herself in his place. |
| 155 | * InterspeciesFriendship: She and Jimmy are both good friends with Bjorn, Bad Jack's son. Unfortunately, because dragons are mortal enemies of knights and princesses, they have to keep their friendship with Bjorn a secret. |
| 156 | * LeeroyJenkins: Cat occasionally has shades of this, preferring to quickly and decisively engage in violence against the bad guys. Unlike many examples of this trope, she's generally quite good at restraining herself (provided Jimmy is around to act as the voice of reason). |
| 157 | * LivingLieDetector: When Jimmy tries to lie to her about how he lost Henri's mandolin at the beginning of 'Bad Bad Mandolin', she not only sees right through his lie but also hypothesizes how she thinks he lost the mandolin in the way that it ''actually happened''. They ''are'' best friends after all. |
| 158 | * MagicKiss: As a princess, Cat has the power to undo frog transformation spells with her "princess' kiss", which serves as part of Jimmy's plan in 'Witch Hunters'. Given her tomboy nature, she's not exactly thrilled about having this power, to the point where she doesn't even want to use it on ''herself'' when ''she'' gets turned into a frog. |
| 159 | * MirrorsReflectEverything: While she and Jimmy are [[TotemPoleTrench disguised together as a mystery knight]] towards the end of 'Witch Hunters', they redirect the Cursed Forest Witch's frog spell back at her with a mirror attached to a shield, which they hide under a wooden makeshift shield. |
| 160 | * MorphicResonance: In her frog form, Cat has purple spots all over, fitting her purple attire as a human. |
| 161 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: |
| 162 | ** Midway through 'How to Save a Princess', she calls Jimmy's smart mirror while he and Henri are trying to quietly scale Bad Jack's tower, which causes them to abandon their attempt and try a straight up frontal assault. |
| 163 | ** In 'Mischief at Princess High', Cat inadvertently convinces Lady Fontaine to quit teaching at Princess School to take up her old hobby of "equestrian dancing", which unfortunately leaves her (Cat) and the other princesses-in-training in the hands of the Cursed Forest Witch, or "Lady Minerva" (her substitute teacher name). |
| 164 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: Pretends to be a stereotypically helpless princess around people who aren't her mother, Henri or Jimmy. |
| 165 | * PaperThinDisguise: Jimmy has her put on a blonde wig and used the pseudonym of "Candy" to disguise her in front of the Witch in "Bad Bad Mandolin". |
| 166 | * RebelliousPrincess: She doesn't like to conform to the DamselInDistress conventions. |
| 167 | * RedBaron: After excelling in the jousting competition for squires in 'Who's the Squire' (albeit while in disguise), she becomes known as the "Diamond Squire". |
| 168 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Despite her mother's best efforts to stop her, due to society expecting her to be a prim and proper princess, Cat, being the battle-ready tomboy that she is, prefers to aid Jimmy, Henri and the other knights directly in protecting Epic. |
| 169 | * SilentSnarker: She becomes this in "Witch Hunters" when transformed into a frog by the witch, as she shoots Jimmy dirty looks and croaks at him in an upset manner while he apologizes for his plan going awry. |
| 170 | * SilkHidingSteel: Cat has to pretend to be a dainty princess, despite everyone she's close to knowing full well she is perfectly capable of fighting. Throwaway lines in "Witch Hunters" suggest this is enforced by rules, as Henri mentions that while Cat is free to join him and Jimmy on adventures, as a princess she's forbidden to join them on official knightly missions. |
| 171 | * SkippingSchool: At the beginning of "Queen's Guard", she tags along with Jimmy on a squire school assignment that he's meant to take on by himself in the Dark Lands, essentially skipping princess school to do so. |
| 172 | * StrongGirlSmartGuy: With Jimmy. She's the fighter of the duo despite being a princess, while Jimmy's more of a thinker and a planner despite being a knight in training. This dynamic unsurprisingly makes them outcasts in their respective peer groups. |
| 173 | * TomboyPrincess: Cat tries to be one of the boys, despite regularly being relegated to girly, passive roles because it's what society expects of her. |
| 174 | * TomboyishPonytail: She wears her hair up when adventuring with Jimmy and Henri. |
| 175 | * TotemPoleTrench: With Jimmy on her shoulders, they disguise themselves as a newly arrived knight as part of their plan to defeat the Witch in "Witch Hunters". |
| 176 | * TwoGuysAndAGirl: She's the only girl out of the three main characters of the show. |
| 177 | ** In "Fashion Victims", she's the only one in all of Epic who doesn't get drawn into buying any item from Wilfreid's B.W.K. product line, a stance that she and Jimmy were originally a united front on until Wilfreid drew the latter in with a new smart mirror that had the latest Angry Knights game on it. In fact, due to beating the info out of Lance midway through the episode, she's the one who finds out that the B.W.K. products are all enchanted with hypnosis-inducing magic, thanks to a deal Wilfreid made with the Cursed Forest Witch. |
| 178 | ** In "The Road Knight", Jimmy is just as anxious as everybody else to save the hijacked supply carriages, but only so he can [[SkewedPriorities get his hands on a copy of the second Angry Knights game]]. As a result, Cat has to constantly remind him that there are more important things worth saving on the supply carriages, like food and clothes for the citizens of Epic. |
| 179 | ** She's immediately and rightfully worried when she overhears Jimmy agree to a horse race against Lance at the beginning of "Not So Fast". Sure enough, [[ForegoneConclusion Lance wins the race by cheating]]. |
| 180 | ** In "Old Red", when Henri has trouble engaging her and Jimmy's class during his stint as the substitute teacher for the Knight of Red, she advises him that instead of trying to teach the class the way the Red Knight would, he should teach the class the same way he teaches Jimmy. |
| 181 | * WiseBeyondTheirYears: While Cat is normally characterized as hotheaded and rash compared to coolheaded and clever Jimmy, she has her fair share of episodes where she's shown to have her head on straight more so than him. |

| 192 | * CoolHorse: 'Not So Fast' makes it official that he's the fastest horse in all of Epic. |
| 193 | * IronicName: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Given the medieval setting of the show, him being named after a type of ''missile'' is rather anachronistic. Then again, because the show incorporates concepts of modern technology (i.e., mirrors and even a witch's cauldron that work like ''smart phones'', magic wands that need ''batteries''), Torpedo's name origin might not be so out of place. |

| 208 | * ExactWords: When Cat attempts to sneak away to rescue Jimmy and Henri from Bad Jack the dragon, the Queen tells her that she can't let Cat go off on her own. Cat runs off anyway, but the Queen quickly catches up and clarifies that she simply meant that she'd be going to the rescue too. |
| 209 | * FeminineMotherTomboyishDaughter: The feminine mother to Catherine's tomboyish daughter, though to some degree, she has an action-oriented side to her. |
| 210 | * TheHighQueen: She's a decent ruler. |
| 211 | * MamaBear: She tried to do a flying kick to a ''dragon'' who threatened Cat, and while she missed, she somewhat accidentally ended up taking out a whole party of them. It was so epic even Cat, who knew she was faking being the Swan, had to ask if she really was the Swan from the tales. |

| 214 | ** She seems aware that Cat gets involved with Henri and Jimmy's adventures often, but turns a blind eye to it. She does, however, put her foot down when it comes to official knight business, where Cat (as a princess) has no business getting involved. |

In 'The Challenge', when he and Henri go to Bad Jack's lair to rescue Jimmy and Lance from the dragon, he hangs back throughout the whole confrontation, while letting Henri do all the fighting and take all the punishment. |
| 227 | * EasilyForgiven: In 'Fashion Victims', Cat learns that Wilfried conspired with the Witch of the Cursed Woods to help her take over the Kingdom of Epic in return for being named the First Knight of the First Century. He doesn't seem to have been punished for this. |

| 250 | ---- |
| 251 | * BigJerkOnCampus: He's the most popular squire in Epic's knight school, to the point of arguably being the Knight of Red's favorite pupil, largely due to his willingness to adhere to the strict standards of being a knight. |
| 252 | * {{Blackmail}}: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]]. Lance does this to Jimmy and Cat with a video of the latter fighting the Cyclops at the start of "Caught on Tape", knowing it would disgrace the Queen. However, Cat does this back at him at the end of the episode by alleging having recorded an embarrassing video of him screaming and fainting after getting "captured" by Bjorn. |

| 258 | * MilesGloriosus: He kicks off "The Return of the Swan" by telling Jimmy, Cat, Henri, Lady Fontaine and half a dozen other squires and princesses a ''clearly'' untrue story about how he defeated a "mutant giant". Aside from the obviously overblown nature of the story, what makes it even more untrue is Lance's tendency to show himself for the coward he really is in the face of danger. |

| 272 | * AnimalMotifs: Bulls, it seems. He wears a helmet with bull horns, has the symbol of a bull's face on his belt buckle and, though he's not the only person in Epic to give Jimmy a hard time for not being an atypical squire or future knight, he's definitely the most [[{{Pun}} bullheaded]] about it. |
| 273 | * BadassInDistress: The plot for 'Red Dawn' is kicked off by him getting captured by Bathagalflupe, who aims to use him as the prototype for his CloneArmy. |
| 274 | * BaldOfAuthority: Despite having a huge afro in his youth, he's now bald and is the one in charge of training squires to be full-fledged knights. |
| 275 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: While captured by Bad Jack in "Old Red", he somehow convinces the dragon to do 100 push-ups as a way to stall him. Doing that ''does'' keep Bad Jack from eating him sooner, but it also ''increases'' the dragon's ''appetite'' for him, much to his dismay. |

| 419 | * BigThinShortTrio: On episodes that focus on his friendship with Jimmy and Cat, he's the big to the former's short and the latter's thin whenever Henri is off elsewhere. |
| 420 | * BirdsOfAFeather: Much like how Jimmy (the brainy squire) and Cat (the brawn princess) don't like to conform to the roles they're supposed to play in the Kingdom of Epic, Bjorn (the friendly dragon) also doesn't like to conform to the "evil monster" role he's meant to play in the Dark Lands. And of course like them also, he's raised by a single parent that's the same gender as him (both him and Jimmy by Henri and Bad Jack, Cat by the Queen), with no mention as to what happened to the opposing gender parents in their respective families ([[MissingMom both his and Jimmy's mothers]] and Cat's father). |
| 421 | * CantYouReadTheSign: An offscreen example. In "The Helmet of Epic", when Jimmy finds the titular helmet in a treasure chest full of junk that Bjorn claims his father "won't miss" and asks him about the helmet, Bjorn answers that he found it in a box that blatantly read "DANGER! DO NOT TAKE!"...and decided it was okay to take it anyway. |
| 422 | * InterspeciesFriendship: He's a dragon with two humans (Jimmy and Cat) as best friends. What makes this friendship even more taboo in the show's universe (aside from the differing species) is the fact that Jimmy's a knight-in-training (whom he's meant to kill) and Cat's a princess (whom he's meant to capture). |
| 423 | * MissingMom: His mother is nowhere to be seen. |
| 424 | * SuperToughness: Despite his young age, Bjorn has a durable dragon hide like his father and other full-grown dragons, as shown in "Treasure Trap", when arrows bounce off him as he runs away from Jimmy, who conversely has to dodge them as he chases after Bjorn to apologize for tricking him earlier in the episode. |
| 425 | * TokenHeroicOrc: Similar to how Jimmy and Cat don't want to follow the strict conventions that come with knighthood and royalty, Bjorn doesn't want to follow the trajectory of typical "accomplished" dragons (killing knights, kidnapping princesses, terrorizing people in general, etc.). |

| 448 | * AffablyEvil: |
| 449 | ** In "How to Save a Princess", he answers Cat's questions about why dragons do certain things in a fairly polite manner. Even when her constant barrage of questions eventually gets on his nerves to where he rages on her, he still pleads with her to quit with her "mind games" rather than demand her to do so, while making it a point to mention that dragons usually don't harm princesses. |
| 450 | ** In "The Cat and the Swan", after angrily getting his fellow dragons to stop dancing to Henri's "Song About Dragons", Jack announces for a second time how he's going to throw Henri and Jimmy down his supposedly BottomlessPit. After a cheeky {{Ahem}} from Jimmy, who points out earlier that the pit might just be really deep as opposed to bottomless, Jack reluctantly acknowledges the possibility, though he says in the same breath that he doesn't care. |
| 451 | ** In "Old Red", after the Knight of Red apparently has him do 100 push-ups as a way to stall being eaten by him, Bad Jack compliments the red knight by saying that he could use a trainer like him. However, much to his captive's chagrin, the rigorous exercise regimen naturally makes Jack ''hungrier''. |
| 452 | * BattleTrophy: When asked by Cat why dragons require the princesses they capture to scream, he explains that screaming princesses lure knights to him, allowing him to "toast" them, keep their armor and weapons as rewards, and mount them on his "Wall of Bad Fame" ("How to Save a Princess"). |
| 453 | * BehemothBattle: His battle with the Cyclops midway through "My Knight, My Dragon and Me". |
| 454 | * BigBadDuumvirate: Jack teams up with the Cursed Forest Witch in "The Mean Team", and they make a surprisingly formidable duo against Jimmy, Cat and Henri for the majority of the episode. That is until the end, when the trio come up with a ruse to turn him and the witch against each other. |
| 455 | * BottomlessPit: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. In "The Cat and the Swan", he has one in his lair, Dragon's Cove. It's at the end of the episode that it's not really bottomless, just really, really deep. |
| 456 | * BreathWeapon: He wouldn't be the fearsome dragon that he is if he couldn't breath [[PlayingWithFire fire]]. |
| 457 | * DragonHoard: Regularly loots golden treasures, some enchanted, and keeps them in his cave. |
| 458 | * DragonsPreferPrincesses: When asked by Cat why dragons capture princesses, he tells her that it is just to use them as bait to lure knights. When she then asks why he didn't just capture a knight when he went to the castle earlier, Jack loses his cool and tells her to be quiet. |
| 459 | * TheDreaded: He's the most fearsome dragon in the Dark Lands. While the knights will fight against him when he attacks, they generally try to avoid direct conflict with him. |
| 460 | * EmbarrassingNickname: Is called "Twinkle Toes" by the Swan in the 'The Cat and the Swan'. |
| 461 | * EnemyMine: When he and Henri find out that both Bjorn and Jimmy are being held captive by the Cyclops in 'My Knight, My Dragon and Me', they agree to team up and confront the Cyclops together for the boys' sake. |
| 462 | * EvilBrit: He speaks with what seems to be a Cockney accent. |
| 463 | * GiantFlyer: Like any classical dragon, he can fly. |
| 464 | * IGaveMyWord: As seen in "Cease Fire" where he refuse to take the treasure as he gave his word to at least uphold the truce. |
| 465 | * IllPretendIDidntHearThat: He reacts this way towards Bjorn at the start of "Treasure Trap", when the latter complains about treasure hunting while claiming that he forgot to "water his vegetables". |
| 466 | * MyGrandmaCanDoBetterThanYou: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]]. He's on the receiving end of this kind of insult from Jimmy in "How to Save a Princess", but later uses it against Henri in "Lucky Tooth" when the latter fails to hit him several times with a bow. |
| 467 | * NoodleIncident: In "The Challenge", when a sleeping Bad Jack is awakened by a "stink monster" call (really recorded sound bytes of Jimmy imitating one that he recorded on all the smart mirrors he borrowed), he angrily orders "it" to get away from his lair. When the "monster" keeps making its "call", an annoyed Jack gets up to deal with it, while muttering to himself that his lair stank for months the last time a stink monster was in it. |
| 468 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes glow red when he gets angry. |
| 469 | * SuperToughness: As is often typical for dragons, Bad Jack has a strong and durable hide, as evidenced in "Treasure Trap" when he and Bjorn make their way through the Collector King's castle. He instructs Bjorn that the best way for dragons to deal with traps is to simply let arrows bounce off them, and demonstrates as such. |
| 470 | * TailSlap: |
| 471 | ** He uses one to knock Jimmy into a cage (before tossing Lance into the cage with him afterwards) in "The Challenge". |
| 472 | ** During his second attack on the Kingdom of Epic in "Lucky Tooth", he takes out three knights fighting alongside Wilfred this way. |
| 473 | ** Several episodes later in "My Knight, My Dragon and Me", while [[EnemyMine temporarily teamed up with Henri]], he uses this form of attack to swipe away the hand of the Cyclops as he attempts to grab Henri, so that he can save Jimmy and Bjorn, who were being held captive by the giant. |
| 474 | * TearsOfJoy: He cries these at the prospect of Bjorn throwing his first human being (Lance) down the BottomlessPit near his tower in "Caught on Tape". |
| 475 | * TheyDontMakeThemLikeTheyUsedTo: He makes this comment about knights after easily thrashing Henri in 'How to Save a Princess'. |
| 476 | * ToServeMan: In "The Challenge", when a tied-up Jimmy asserts that he and Lance aren't afraid of Bad Jack, he responds by ominously pondering whether he should eat the two squires "raw, well-done, fricasseed (*evil giggle*) maybe in a ''stew''". |
| 477 | * WheelOfDecisions: He uses one in "The Cat and the Swan" to decide what to do with Henri and Jimmy. |

| 500 | ** After capturing Jimmy, Cat and Henri with the Black Rats' help in 'Getting Cheesy', she blackmails Cat into taking her to Epic by casting a spell on Jimmy and Henri that will turn them into cheese for the Black Rats to eat [[WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve at the stroke of midnight]]. |
| 501 | * MagicMusic: In 'Bad Bad Mandolin', the Witch gives Jimmy and Cat a bespelled mandolin that plays disco, hypnotizing those who hear it. |
| 502 | * MassHypnosis: As mentioned above, the replacement mandolin she gives Jimmy and Cat at the start of 'Bad Bad Mandolin' is bewitched and hypnotizes almost everyone in Epic into a dancing frenzy when played. |
| 503 | * MorphicResonance: Whenever she gets her frog spell redirected at her, she winds up with black skin to match her clothes and red spots to match her hair. |
| 504 | * PaperThinDisguise: When disguised as "Lady Minerva" in 'Mischief at Princess High' and Cat's "great-aunt" in 'Getting Cheesy', all she does is for these both disguises is tie her hair up and wear a small purple hat with some earrings and glasses. |
| 505 | * {{Teleportation}}: She commonly teleports in a puff of green smoke. |
| 506 | * WhenTreesAttack: When Jimmy lets it slip that everyone in Epic is stuck in a dream in (of course) 'Epic Dream', the Cursed Forest Witch, intrigued by the slip-up, uses her magic to animate trees to attack the the main trio. |

| 543 | ---- |
| 544 | * AffablyEvil: When his plan to clone the Red Knight is interrupted by Jimmy and Cat ringing his doorbell, he's surprisingly calm and genial about it, as (being an evil wizard and all) he hardly gets visitors. |
