| 10 | !Nina Delacroix |
| 11 | [[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/NinaEC_4515.jpg]] |
| 12 | The main character (sort of). A young vampire born on Easter, she feeds on chocolate instead of blood. |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * ACupAngst: For awhile, she was convinced that she needed boobs like her sister's for guys to be interested in her, but gets over it when her body starts maturing. |
| 15 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Towards Kade for the first three books and Ace, starting in volume 4. Neither returned her affections, since Kade failed to notice Nina's crush on him [[SingleTargetSexuality because he was dating her big sister]], Layla. Nor does Ace, due to being annoyed by Nina pestering him. |
| 16 | * AllLovingHeroine: Nina doesn't hate anyone, and likes to see everyone she meets as a potential friend, even the villains. Justified because she usually doesn’t even understand that they are bad guys. |
| 17 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: While she obviously respects and loves Layla a lot, Nina is nevertheless a handful, whiny, borderline spoiled little sister. |
| 18 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Annoying as she can be, Nina will put it all on the line for Layla. |
| 19 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: Didn't take long for her to get drunk after consuming some "Liquid chocolate" Layla gave her (it was actually Bailey's). |
| 20 | * CharacterDevelopment: Nina starts out extremely childlike and innocent for her age, for good and [[KidsAreCruel for ill]], and gradually becomes more mature as the series progresses. Though much of the humor still comes from her ComicallyMissingThePoint due to maturing faster physically, than mentally. |
| 21 | * CloudCuckoolander: To say that she doesn't have a fair grasp on reality is beyond an understatement. |
| 22 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: Many of the comic's gags come from the fact that she doesn't understand the most simple things and freaks everybody out with them. |
| 23 | * CuteLittleFangs: Seen at all times, unless she's pouting. |
| 24 | * DealWithTheDevil: She made a bargain with [[spoiler: Tia]], out of fear that she was losing [[spoiler: her sister, Layla to Queen Lamia's possession]]. So she asks [[spoiler: Tia]] to help her, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/know_all_this_dark_magic in exchange for Blair]]. |
| 25 | * DisproportionateRetribution: When Nina went to Layla to ask about her boobs, she [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/layyyyylaaaaah! poked fun at her.]] How did Nina respond? By hijacking her sister's body, then using it to go on a date with her sister's boyfriend. According to her, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/extra_honey it was totally justified.]] [[DudeNotFunny The fandom disagreed, ]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/best_friend as did her parents.]] |
| 26 | * EveryoneCanSeeIt: It's glaringly obvious to everyone watching that Nina is in love with Ace. Even people who have only known her for an incredibly short time (such as Tia) are quick to pick up. Of course, it takes her a lot longer to realize what everyone else has known from the beginning. |
| 27 | -->'''Tia''': It's a shame that handsome werewolf boy isn't here to see you be "the bigger woman". |
| 28 | -->'''Nina''': P-puppy? H-how do you know about...you said you weren't spying on me! |
| 29 | -->'''Tia''': I don't really need to. You're not that hard to figure it out. |
| 30 | * GenkiGirl: Very much so. |
| 31 | * TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Nina is an extremely childish and oblivious KiddieKid who is clueless about everything while her older sister Layla is a prideful AlphaBitch who is extremely prtotective of those she loves. While Nina finds her overprotectiveness annoying and is jealous of her sister's more mature body, she'll still do anything for her, such as trying to save her from Queen Quintessa in the final volume. |
| 32 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Due to her naivety, as seen in AllLovingHeroine above. For example, she's oblivious to Ace's initial aversion towards her and accidentally helps Cess and Laura to humilliate Layla by "outing" her as a lesbian in front of the school. She does recognize bad people (like Tia), but it only happens very rarely. |
| 33 | * IGaveMyWord: Vol.4 concludes with Nina keeping her agreement with [[spoiler: Tia]] by giving her [[spoiler: Blair]], as payment for helping her save her Layla. |
| 34 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: Nina is mischievous and bratty but never malicious, has a kind and pure heart, loves everyone, and sees the good in everyone. |
| 35 | ** In Chapter 7 Doompantied Chloe made note of Nina's innocence and was compelled [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/make_her_like_me to corrupt her.]] But simply being near Nina [[KarmicProtection caused Chloe to become physically ill]] and rush to the bathroom to vomit. |
| 36 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: She is generally very sweet and caring, though she does have a habit of not realizing when she's causing problems for other people. |
| 37 | * KiddieKid: While she's supposed to be around 14 years old (at the start of the series), Nina looks and acts like a child half that age, and her favorite hobby is eating chocolate. |
| 38 | * KindheartedSimpleton: She is a very naive, childish girl with a total lack of common sense but clearly she is a being with a pure heart, always sweet and kind who is more than willing to help others. |
| 39 | * LiteralMinded: To the point that she thought getting to "second base" was about baseball and actually bought tickets so Ace could take her to a game. |
| 40 | * MagneticHero: She is able to make friends with anyone and her charisma captures almost everyone. Also, although she can be annoying at times, she is certainly loved by almost everyone, to the point Ace warms up to her despite initially not wanting anything to do with her. |
| 41 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/need_to_be_more_careful When she gets her first taste of blood]] (well technically second, but she was in Layla's body the first time) [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/that_sort_of_tickles her demeanor suddenly changes and she]] [[OhCrap swats away a chocolate bar Ace brought for her.]] |
| 42 | * OperationJealousy: Thanks to Tia's manipulations and getting Laura's size and bust size (long story), she decides to try making Ace (who was dating Brooke at the time) jealous, but it didn't work. |
| 43 | * OurVampiresAreDifferent: See the VegetarianVampire entry. |
| 44 | * RedHerring: She only had part of [[spoiler: Quintessa's spirit sealed inside her, but Layla was her true reincarnation]]. |
| 45 | * RelationshipUpgrade: Her feelings eventually shift from Kade to Ace, starting toward the end of volume 3. But she didn't begin actively pursuing him until volume 4, during her 15th birthday party. It took a bit of coercion from Neige and Sorbet, but Ace finally asked her out. |
| 46 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Energetic Girl to Ace's Savvy Guy. She's a hyperactive GenkiGirl, while he is gloomy and sensible. |
| 47 | * SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: Blair suspected her to be [[spoiler: Queen Lamia Asra-Pa Quintessa's reincarnation, but he was monitoring the wrong sister]]. |
| 48 | * SheIsAllGrownUp: In Volume 3, Tia switches Laura's breast and height sizes to her and she becomes attractive enough to catch other boys' interest, like [[LoveInterest Ace]] and Dio. She eventually returns to normal....only for puberty to finally hit her in Volume 4. |
| 49 | * SpoiledBrat: At her worst, she falls into this. |
| 50 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate. It can be used to motivate her and she can and will go out of her way for especially high-quality chocolate. |
| 51 | * VegetarianVampire: Nina's preference for chocolate, rather than blood, makes her an oddity among vampires, supposedly because she was born on Easter Sunday. [[spoiler: The truth comes out in chapter 15 when Blair explains that he purposely conditioned her that way in an effort to prevent Queen Quintessa's reincarnation. Except he'd been wrong about which of the Delacroix children it was to be: [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/all_the_signs_pointed_to_nina it was her older sister, Layla]]]]. |
| 52 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Ace. Even though he can't stand her idiocy, she's the only person who'll be at his side through thick and thin, as he's ditched by Brooke and Melissa once he regains his plain appearance. |
| 53 | [[/folder]] |
| 54 | |
| 55 | [[folder:Layla]] |
| 56 | !Layla Delacroix / [[spoiler: Queen Quintessa]] |
| 57 | [[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/LaylaEC_2519.jpg]] |
| 58 | Nina's older sister, who's determined to make her into a proper vampire by getting her to drink blood. |
| 59 | ---- |
| 60 | * ACupAngst: Layla learned what it was like during a set of guest strips where she snarked on Melissa. Melissa [[EvilIsPetty retaliated by casting a spell]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/art_scholarship_-_interlude_(guest_strip)_2_of_4 that shrank her breasts.]] Layla goes through it again in a later chapter when Nina temporarily acquires a fully mature and very voluptuous figure, |
| 61 | * AlphaBitch: She's the most popular girl at Charybdis Heights. Several other girls have tried to overthrow her - including [[Webcomic/MagickChicks Melissa Hellrune]], Cessily & Laura, and even [[spoiler: Doompantied]] [[WebComic/DangerouslyChloe Chloe!]] but she's almost always [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/my_next_plan the talk of the school.]] |
| 62 | * AloofDarkhairedGirl: ...and she's snarky to boot. |
| 63 | * ArmorPiercingQuestion: She delivers one to her parents, at the start of chapter 16: |
| 64 | -->'''Layla:''' "Mom? Dad? When were you going to tell me that I was [[spoiler: the {{reincarnation}} of an ancient (and fabulous) [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/chapter_16_-_from_teen_to_queen vampire queen?"]]]] |
| 65 | * BadLiar: Count the number of times [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/you_like_them_too%EF%BC%9F here.]] If Tiffany wasn't so [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny easily distracted]], she might've noticed some of those slip-ups. |
| 66 | * BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: with her previous incarnation, Queen Quintessa [[spoiler: turns out to be not much of a contest, since Layla is very strong willed and Quintessa's worldview is obsolete.]] |
| 67 | * BigSisterInstinct: She is usually a bit overprotective with her sister Nina, and does not let her do things that are inappropriate for her age like frolicking around boys and forcing her to drink blood. |
| 68 | * CoolBigSis: To Nina, who went so far as to [[spoiler: offer to give Blair to Tia, once she realized Lamia was trying to take over her sister's personality]]. |
| 69 | * CuteMonsterGirl: So much so, that EvenTheGirlsWantHer, as evidenced by Brooke's unrequited attraction to her, and even [[spoiler: [[Webcomic/MagickChicks Faith]]]] paused long enough to remark on Layla's beauty, [[spoiler: [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/something_something_avenger right before she intended to stake her.]]]] |
| 70 | * CuteLittleFangs: Hers become visible whenever she's nervous, or angry. |
| 71 | * DeadpanSnarker: She's quick with a one-liner, or a clever remark, and [[AlphaBitch brimming with smug superiority.]] |
| 72 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Her warmer side is mainly seen during [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/final_showdown her interactions]] [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/what_friends_do with Tiffany]], which reveal she isn't as standoffish as pretends to be, when she opens up. They've even become [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_am_your_best_friend best friends.]] |
| 73 | * DudeMagnet: Has a legion of male and female fans due to her confident persona and Brooke has expressed outright attraction to her on several occassions. |
| 74 | * EngineeredPublicConfession: When Doompanty-possessed Chloe nearly devours Kade's soul, Layla's jealous side comes out and [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/for_my_next_trick tells her]] "Get...Get your stinking claws off my boyfriend!!" Only thing was...[[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/some_alone_time this]] was in front of the whole school...and her then-fiance, Dio (which results in Layla's engagement being voided, part of Chloe's plan.). |
| 75 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Has a legion of male and female fans due to her confident persona and Brooke has expressed outright attraction to her on several occassions. |
| 76 | * ExplainExplainOhCrap: She explains to Nina that she didn't ''technically'' seduce [[spoiler:Nina's boyfriend]] because he was possessed by Blair at the time. Then it suddenly sinks in that she kissed ''[[AbhorrentAdmirer Blair]]'' and she quickly darts off to brush her teeth. |
| 77 | * ExpressiveAccessory: Wears a skull hairpin that always mimics her expression. |
| 78 | * FilleFatale: Seen during the earlier parts of the comic (noted in the ProudBeauty entry). Now that she's recovered [[spoiler: her [[{{reincarnation}} true memories]] as Queen Quintessa]], she's become a full-fledged FemmeFatale to the point where she ''[[InstantSeduction embodies]]'' [[http://eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/a_better_chance_than_this the trope.]] |
| 79 | -->[[spoiler: '''Blair:''']] ''[weakly]'' I-I'll... follow you to Hell and back!\ |
| 80 | '''Layla:''' ''[smugly]'' Of course you will. |
| 81 | * HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: After being MistakenForGay, she often finds the need to insist that she's not a lesbian. |
| 82 | * HypocriticalHeartwarming: Teases Nina relentlessly about her refusal to drink blood, but she's genuinely trying to get Nina to change what she views as unhealthy behavior. |
| 83 | * IceQueen: She's even referred to as such [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/(chapter_9)_big_girls_do_not_cry by Melissa]] and Cessily (seen in the AlphaBitch entry). |
| 84 | * IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Uses the technique on [[http://eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/a_better_chance_than_this Blair.]] |
| 85 | * IncompatibleOrientation: Despite prior implications of Layla possibly being bi-curious, she was later confirmed to be straight. Much to the disappointment of Layla/Brooke and Layla/Tiff shippers. |
| 86 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's self-centered, haughty and rude to pretty much everyone. But she really does love Nina. [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/d/20101103.html And]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/d/20110627.html Kade]]. And doesn't hold grudges much. |
| 87 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Layla falls victim to this repeatedly. |
| 88 | ** During the Chloe-zombie scare, she was preapared to ditch Chloe and the others, believing it was [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/smell_the_pink "their problem"]], but forgot she was covered in Chloe's pheromones too and wound up [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/so_unfair! eating her words.]] Whoops. |
| 89 | ** Later, at Nina's slumber party, she volunteers Ace and Brooke for [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/first_step surprise makeovers.]] Brooke pays her back on the [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/watch_the_hands! next page]] and the resulting catfight lands her in hot water [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/no_buts with her mother.]] |
| 90 | ** Oh and the liquor she pilfered from her dad's stash? She tricks Nina into [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/first_swig! drinking it]], causing her to become sick and throw up. Guess who winds up on [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/pizza_in_the_kitchen cleaning duty?]] |
| 91 | ** During the ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'' crossover, she agrees to go with [[spoiler: [[SmugSuper Faith]]]] back to her home, [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/sugar_buzz thinking she'd get bite]] and almost ends up paying for it [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/something_something_avenger with her life.]] [[spoiler: Good thing Tiffany showed up.]] |
| 92 | * LovableAlphaBitch: In spite of her aloofness and snark, Layla's not so bad, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/lookit_me! once anyone gets to know her.]] Which is often seen in her interactions with Tiffany, with whom she's become best friends. She also helps Jeffrey to keep the school safe [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/sneezeweed by keeping humans from nosing around]], and also helps organize events at the school - as seen in the ''"Kissing Both"'' bonus story in the print edition of vol.1. |
| 93 | * MaybeEverAfter: Breaks up with Kade in the final volume, but it's hinted they'll get back together soon. |
| 94 | * MsFanservice: Often without even trying, but she deliberately invokes it whenever she wants Kade to do something for her. |
| 95 | * ObliviousToHints: As a part of her general obliviousness. When [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/boys her mom tried]] to let slip the ArrangedMarriage business, she was dead set on immediately clearing the miscommunication which no one else had seen as a big deal. And during the Doompanties incident, Chloe had to spell out exactly what just happened after setting her up. |
| 96 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: You know things are getting bad when Layla stops wearing her skull hairpin and loses her BigSisterInstinct for Nina. |
| 97 | * ParentalFavoritism: Layla complains that their older sister Luna got a car for her birthday during her BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind with Quintessa. |
| 98 | * ParentalIncest: In a sense. Layla is rather disturbed to recall that a past incarnation of her, [[spoiler:Queen Quintessa]], kissed both of her parents. |
| 99 | * PastLifeMemories: Her memories from a previous incarnation are unlocked when [[spoiler:Nina bites her, reuniting the entirety of Queen Quintessa's soul]]. |
| 100 | * ProudBeauty: Layla's got it going on, she knows it, and won't hesitate to use [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/teeny-weeny_favor her looks]] or [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/three_kisses her charms]] to get what she wants. |
| 101 | * {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:She is supposedly this to Queen Quintessa. Though Queen Quintessa's attempt to replace Layla's mind with her own places this in doubt]]. |
| 102 | * SealedInAPersonShapedCan: Major Spoiler: During vol.4 it's revealed that she's the [[spoiler: reincarnation of the evil Queen Lamia Asrapa Quintessa. Layla wasn't immediately aware of it since part of Quintessa's spirit resided in Nina. But once Nina bit her, the remainder of Quintessa's spirit was transferred into Layla. Thereby, restoring her memory as her former self and completed her rebirth]]. |
| 103 | * ShipSinking: Both fandom ships with Tiffany and Brooke were officially torpedoed in volumes 3 and 4 respectively[[note]]noted under the ShipSinking entry on [[Webcomic/EerieCuties the main page]] and the WhatTheHellHero entry in Brooke's section[[/note]], since Layla is canonically straight. |
| 104 | * ShutUpKiss: She invokes this at the end of the "War Dance" arc, [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2011-06-22 when she finally makes up with Kade.]] Which segues into a BigDamnKiss. |
| 105 | * SoProudOfYou: She's been [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/go_bitey_bite! trying to make a proper vampire out of Nina]] since the beginning of the comic, by trying to get her to drink blood, instead of eating chocolate - without success. But when Nina finally does it, while [[spoiler: possessed by Quintessa]][[note]]though unbeknownst to Layla[[/note]], [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/hard_not_to_notice Layla couldn't be happier for her kid sister.]] |
| 106 | * SplitPersonalityMerge: For a brief period of time, she does this with her supposed previous incarnation. Layla's teenager personality and [[spoiler:Queen Quintessa]]'s adult personality both poke through in alternating moments. But this eventually starts turning into SplitPersonalityTakeover. |
| 107 | * SplitPersonalityTakeover: [[spoiler:Queen Lamia gradually erases Layla's identity so as to replace it with her own. It eventually gets to the point that Layla can no longer remember her own sister's name. However, after Nina's intervention, Layla manages to fight back to the point of reversing it on Lamia]]. |
| 108 | * TemptingFate: |
| 109 | ** After setting her human friend, Tiffany, up on a date with her vampire ex, Dio, she has a CatapultNightmare after realizing what she's done, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/stake_me_with_a_jackhammer then asks the inevitable question.]] |
| 110 | ** During the "Art Scholarship" interlude strips, she tells Melissa she has no chance of Brooke choosing her as the subject of her painting, versus her curvy perfection. Since Mel couldn't think of a comeback, she [[spoiler: zaps Layla with a spell, to take away her boobs! Melissa gives 'em back though... begrudgingly.]] |
| 111 | * TheNicknamer: She has one for each of the main cast: |
| 112 | ** Nina - [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2009-11-23 "Short stuff"]], [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/layyyyylaaaaah! "Muffin"]] or "Kiddo" |
| 113 | ** Brooke - "[[Franchise/GIJoe Serpentor]]" |
| 114 | ** Chloe - "[[Franchise/GIJoe Baroness]]" or "Blondie" (thus she and her mother, Adora, are "[[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/blonde_and_blonder Blonde and blonder]]") |
| 115 | ** Ace - "[[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent dog]]" or "the mutt". (though Nina had already dubbed him "Puppy!") |
| 116 | ** [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2010-04-26 Tiff-ghost]] - "[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Fruit Loops]]". |
| 117 | * {{Tsundere}}: Layla has shades of it, [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2012-06-11 as seen, here]], when Kade reminds her of what she said at Chloe's party. |
| 118 | |
| 119 | [[/folder]] |
| 120 | |
| 121 | [[folder:Chloe]] |
| 122 | !Chloe Love |
| 123 | |
| 124 | A succubus, who considers herself to be ugly by succubus standards (though she acknowledges that she's pretty by human standards), despite her many admirers. Much to the surprise of readers, she now has her own webcomic SpinOff -- ''Webcomic/DangerouslyChloe''. See that character page for her entry. |
| 125 | |

| 129 | !Brooke Lynn |
| 130 | [[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/BrookeEC_1635.jpg]] |
| 131 | A [[SnakePeople melusine]]. She can turn into a snake monster, but, true to the tale of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melusine Mélusine]], resents her monster form and tries to hide it. Generally laid-back and cool, but confused and shy when it comes to romance. |
| 132 | ---- |
| 133 | * ACupAngst: While she didn't obsess over it, like Nina, she ''did'' [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/premium_set use to be self-conscious about her breasts.]] Though she's gotten over it since she's started dating. |
| 134 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: When she accuses Ace of being a skirt chaser, he replies [[ComicallyMissingThePoint she's never worn a skirt besides the one with her uniform.]] After a moment's thought, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/you_have_turned_into_kade she had to admit he had a point.]] |
| 135 | * {{Bifauxnen}}: A running gag in the comic is that everyone mistakes her for a boy, due to her short hair and lean figure. |
| 136 | * BlackEyesOfEvil: Whenever she [[ScaledUp scales up]]. |
| 137 | * BoyishShortHair: As befitting [[{{Tomboy}} her personality]] and [[SugarAndIcePersonality her temperament]]. And so long as no one does anything to piss her off, she'll stay that way... Oh hi, [[spoiler: [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/do_you_feel_him_breathing Ash!]]]] |
| 138 | * ComingOutStory: Done in chapter 3, thanks to Nina [[MistakenForGay mistaking her sister as a lesbian]] and assuming Brooke was her girlfriend, when she caught them kissing (see the PracticeKiss entry). Before either them could explain, Nina ran off and told Cess and Laura about it, who set up a rally [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2011-04-06 in front of the entire school]][[note]]in order to humiliate Layla[[/note]]. |
| 139 | * CovertPervert: She has her moments, like how she used Ace's experiment to peek in the guys' shower room [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2011-05-11 for "evidence".]] [[BlatantLies Honest.]] |
| 140 | * DeadpanSnarker: Enough to rival Layla, whom she often acts as [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/ladybug a foil]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/extra_womanly to.]] |
| 141 | * DistractedByMyOwnSexy: Brooke got so caught up in [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/dude...= checking herself out]] in Ace's old uniform, that she forgot she was [[spoiler: in the boys shower room]]! |
| 142 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Back when the comic was in color, she could [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2009-09-21 almost pass for a boy.]] But once it changed to black-and-white, her appearance became more feminine. Now she has the look of a boyish, albeit, very cute young woman. |
| 143 | * FeatherBoaConstrictor: She almost always wears her pet snake, Seth around her neck. |
| 144 | * {{Foil}}: To Layla, as seen in the DeadpanSnarker entry. |
| 145 | * FriendsWithBenefits: With [[spoiler: Ace]], by the time they're in college (revealed in the ''Wolf Harts'' one-shot). |
| 146 | * GirlishPigtails: Brooke wore her hair like that when she was a little girl, as shown in flashbacks. |
| 147 | * HomoeroticSubtext: In moments [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2011-03-21 like these]] [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2011-03-23 with Layla.]] |
| 148 | * HulkingOut: When Ash pushed her one step too far, she went snake-girl on him. |
| 149 | * LoveMakesYouDumb: She was among the first to be swayed by [[spoiler: Quintessa]], so when Brooke saw her preparing to [[spoiler: replace Kade's consciousness with her deceased pet, [[KillerRabbit Mr. Boodles]]]], [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_can_do_whatever_i_please she still made a feeble attempt to rationalize it.]] |
| 150 | * LovesMyAlterEgo: {{Subverted}}. In vol.4, she learns that Layla was [[spoiler: Queen Quintessa's reincarnation]]. So when [[spoiler: Quintessa]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_shall_compensate_you comes onto her]], it causes Brooke's [[AllLoveIsUnrequited repressed feelings for Layla]] to resurface, in hopes that she now had a chance to be with her crush. |
| 151 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Brooke went feral, after being provoked by [[spoiler: Ash]] and nearly constricted him to death. It wasn't until [[MagicalGirl Melissa]] snapped her out of her out of it, that she saw [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/do_you_feel_him_breathing he was no longer breathing]] and asked Melissa to apply CPR. |
| 152 | * OnlySaneMan: She and Ace share this distinction, among the cast: |
| 153 | ** She's typically the most levelheaded member of the bunch and shows a surprising amount of maturity to say she's only 14 years old [[spoiler: (now 15, as of the timeskip)]]. Such as the time she exhausted herself while trying to keep an eye on [[GenderBender girl-Kade]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/hello_aceford so he wouldn't do anything he'd regret, later.]] |
| 154 | ** And, while they were dating, she and Ace tried to resolve the problems they were having in their relationship [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/couples_counselling by openly discussing it.]] Though they were abruptly cut off [[JerkassGenie by Tia's meddling.]] |
| 155 | * PracticeKiss: Near the end of Nina's slumber party, she confided in Layla that she hadn't been kissed by a boy, because of her shyness, and [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_like_to_think_so asked Layla]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/the_spoils_of_war! to teach her how.]] The following day, Layla made good on her promise by giving Brooke [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2011-03-23 a kissing lesson]], since Brooke had given her some of her blood. |
| 156 | * [[spoiler: PropertyOfLove: A past incarnation of Brooke appears in Ace's dream, together with Lamia, which prompts him to ask what she's doing there. Lamia tells him it's because [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/need_your_love_to_survive Brooke belongs to her]], just as he does; implying a deeper connection between them]]. |
| 157 | * PunnyName: Say it fast. |
| 158 | * RelationshipRevolvingDoor: She's been dating [[spoiler: Ace]] on-again/off-again since the end of vol.1. The comic went on indefinite hiatus during another of their "off" periods, at a time when he was developing a romantic interest in [[spoiler: Nina]]. But an upcoming bonus story is said to illustrate how things stand [[LoveTriangle between the three of them.]] |
| 159 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: {{Averted}}. She's pretty down-to-earth and well liked by her friends. In fact, she's ashamed of her snake form and [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/going_through_a_phase would rather no one know about it]], which is why she prefers to remain in her human form. |
| 160 | * ScaledUp: Her melusine form is a snake-girl. One with a LONG body and coiling ability. When her eyes go from human to snake, it might not end well. Usually caused by getting her mad. |
| 161 | * SharedUniverse: She [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/too_much_with_the_lovemaking appears in this]] ImagineSpot as a "monstre" about to kill a movie couple "too much with the lovemaking" (except not really) |
| 162 | * SheCleansUpNicely: Despite all the jokes about Brooke [[{{bifauxnen}} looking like a boy]], and her [[OneOfTheBoys tomboyish behavior]], she's defintely all woman... [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/worth_a_shot when she tries.]] |
| 163 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Brooke is usually collected, rational, and snarky, but she cried when Chloe was transfered and exhausted herself taking care of girl-Kade, for fear the latter would do something harmful to himself. |
| 164 | * {{Tomboy}}: Brooke's lack of femininity has been shown and outright stated more than once, from [[LampshadeHanging Ace pointing out]] [[RealWomenDontWearDresses that she doesn't wear skirts]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/you_have_turned_into_kade (excluding her school uniform)]], to besting [[spoiler: [[WebComic/MagickChicks Ash]]]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/top_of_my_class in a sparring match!]] |
| 165 | ** Bound to be lampshaded by at least one of her friends every time she ruins her pants by manifesting her monstrous form. [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/make_a_skirt_for_yourself Melissa even points out that Brooke is an idiot]] for ignoring the MundaneUtility skirts would provide to a snake girl, |
| 166 | * ShrinkingViolet: She's usually confident, but [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_like_to_think_so she's very shy about romance]] and prone to [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/you_are_funny suddenly disappearing]] when she acts on it. |
| 167 | * TakeAThirdOption: When the "Art Interlude" Guest Strips have her deal with Melissa, Layla, and Cerise who are ALL wanting to be Brooke's model (and showing their diva egos), the artist takes an award-winning approach. [[spoiler: She paints a nude self-portrait.]] |
| 168 | * VegetarianCarnivore: As a result of the 'Skittles incident'. |
| 169 | * WhatTheHellHero: Brooke gets called out, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/less_tied_up by Layla]], for her complicity in enabling [[spoiler: Lamia]] to nearly replace Kade's consciousness with her deceased cat's. |
| 170 | * YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: [[spoiler: Ash]] learns this the hard way and nearly pays for it with his life, when he makes the mistake of [[BullyingADragon deliberately provoking her]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/then_do_something_about_it so she wouldn't hold back on him.]] |

| 174 | [[folder:Kade]] |
| 175 | |
| 176 | !Kade Whiteclaw |
| 177 | [[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/KadeEC_3293.jpg]] |
| 178 | A {{catboy}} who's Layla's ''[[RelationshipRevolvingDoor sometimes]]'' boyfriend, and the object of Nina's affections. |
| 179 | ---- |
| 180 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: To girl-Ace. |
| 181 | ** First seen during the time Ace was stuck as a girl as a result of the Tiresias Orb incident (Vol.0-1). Despite repeatedly rejecting Kade's advances, he remained undeterred and continued to pursue Ace regardless. |
| 182 | ** During the post-comic extra stories, Ace begins to wake up in girl's clothing whenever there's a full moon and turns to Kade and Dio for help. They soon discover that [[spoiler: Ace's girl persona has resurfaced and takes over his body during full moons]], leaving Ace with no memory of what occurs during that time. Rather than tell Ace the truth, Kade and Dio [[FalseFriend both conspire to cover it up]] so they can [[spoiler: continue to have sex with Ace's girl form]] without Ace's knowledge, or his consent. |
| 183 | * AttractiveBentGender: Kade had just as many romantic interests as a girl, as he did while in male form. Enough that Brooke demanded Ms. Twigget do something about it before Kade wound up going too far. |
| 184 | * TheCasanova: He's an incorrigible playboy type, who'll hit on any cute girl that catches his eye. Which is why Layla kept dumping him. |
| 185 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Kade started out as a nice guy who was ditzy and philandering to a fault. [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2009-10-21 He was more romantic in his pursuit of Layla]] and in Ace's first appearance, [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2009-07-20 he tries befriending him because he seemed lonely]]. Within a few chapters though, he made the transition to full-on playboy and CloudCuckooLander. |
| 186 | * ChickMagnet: |
| 187 | ** Pretty much every girl in the school wants him. |
| 188 | ** And as [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/carefully_hidden this page]] shows, his gender bended self might be a DudeMagnet. |
| 189 | * ChivalrousPervert: Is this PlayedForLaughs. How far he falls onto the chivalrous or pervert side, usually depends on RuleOfFunny. He typically is much more pervert than chivalrous when dealing with Layla or "the short-haired beauty", recurringly glomping them out of nowhere or asking them for dates. |
| 190 | * TheDitz: Several instances have emphasized that Kade isn't very bright. Despite the glaringly obvious signs, he is never able to figure out that the "short-haired beauty" he loves and his friend Ace are one and the same. He'll ask the wrong questions, woo girls at innoportune moments, and is dumb enough to believe in obvious lies (he even accidentally releases Blair at one point). |
| 191 | * DoggedNiceGuy: Kade is more submissive compared to the short-tempered Layla, to the point he enjoys being bossed by her. He even admits in Chapter 15 that he had to beg for a long time until she returned his feelings. |
| 192 | * FalseFriend: The only way to describe someone who'd lie about [[spoiler: Ace's blackouts]] just so they can take advantage of the situation for [[spoiler: free sex]] (noted in the second AbhorrentAdmirer example). |
| 193 | * GenderBender: [[LaserGuidedKarma It's not like he didn't deserve it.]] |
| 194 | * LadykillerInLove: He may ogle other girls, but none of them are half so important to him as Layla. |
| 195 | * LaserGuidedKarma: His wandering eye [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/kiss_boys comes back to bite him in the ass.]] |
| 196 | ** But then, Kade [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/phone_numbers_and_twitters quickly]] learned to [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/my_girlfriend_-_mc_crossover_strip enjoy]] this. Very much. He even managed to stay comfortable enough to joke about his reaction on Ash ''after'' turning back. |
| 197 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: Kade is the guy with the longest hair of the cast, and isd clearly to meant to be very attractive. |
| 198 | * LovesMyAlterEgo: He loves "the short-haired girl", lusting after her hugely, but is completely unaware that she is actually Ace's female form. |
| 199 | * AManIsAlwaysEager: This applies to Kade regardless whether he happens to be [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/the_ground_was_fine male]], or [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/lickably_hot female]], at the time. |
| 200 | * NiceGuy: [[ZigzaggingTrope Zig-zagged.]] Kade initially qualified, during the comic's first three volumes which presented him as quirky and well-meaning, despite his habit of repeatedly two-timing Layla. But by the extra stories, he's [[FalseFriend perfectly willing to lie]] [[NiceGuy to Ace]] about what happens to him during a full moon so he and Dio can [[BlackComedyRape take advantage]] of him. |
| 201 | * RelationshipRevolvingDoor: He and Layla broke up and made up several times, until she finally ended their relationship for keeps. At the end of the strip, it seems that they'll get back together again. |
| 202 | * SomethingElseAlsoRises: We don't normally see his cat ears, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/speak_for_yourself but...]] |
| 203 | * YouRemindMeOfX: [[spoiler: Following Layla becoming fully incarnated as Queen Quintessa she mentions that Kade reminds her of Mr. Boodles and muses that's might be why she's kept him around after so long.]] |
| 204 | |

| 207 | [[folder:Ace]] |
| 208 | !Ace Wolfhart |
| 209 | [[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/AceEC_156.jpg]] |
| 210 | A werewolf, who's Nina's [[ButtMonkey unwilling friend]], though generally nice and well meaning. |
| 211 | ---- |
| 212 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: Had a crush on Melissa before meeting Nina and her friends. She rejected him because he was too short and young for her, but briefly dates him in Chapter 10 after he becomes taller. |
| 213 | * AngerBornOfWorry: Although most of his anger at Nina is due to annoyance with her, a significant part of it is genuine concern for her wellbeing. |
| 214 | * AttractiveBentGender: Becomes this in Chapter 9 due to Blair messing with the Tiresias Orb. Notorious girls-lover Kade tried to seduce him, and resident pervert Blair harassed him like any other attractive girl he met. |
| 215 | * BlackComedyRape: In the ''I Was a Teenage Weregirl'' he becomes Acina during full moon, where she uses her free time to have fun with boys. Aware that something is happening to his body, but unaware of Acina's hijinks, he asks Kade and Ash for help....[[WithFriendsLikeThese only for them to have their way with her once full moon strucks]]. |
| 216 | * BreakUpMakeUpScenario: Breaks up with Brooke due to Tia and Melissa's manipulations and his own believing that Brooke still likes girls. They decide they should see other people, until eventually they reconcile. However she breaks up with him for real because she's still confused about her sexuality. |
| 217 | * ButtMonkey: He's always gotten the short end of the stick ever since he's met Nina and her sister, Layla. |
| 218 | ** In their very first meeting, she cost him a chance at setting a new track record, by glomping him [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/hello_self-esteem! just as he'd been about to cross the finish line.]] |
| 219 | ** Then he wound up being humiliated after agreeing to deliver a note to Kade for her, since Kade [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_am_too_bashful! thought it was from him.]] |
| 220 | ** The previous incident got him [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/yipe! yelled, at, by Layla]], for losing his temper with Nina. Not only was he forced to apologize, Nina paraded him around the school in a sweater she'd made to declare her love for Kade, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/you_will_wear_the_sweater%EF%BC%9F humiliating Ace again.]] |
| 221 | ** Layla [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/three_kisses blackmailed him]] into posing as Kade, by kissing him and said she'd keep it a secret, so long as he cooperated. But the moment she saw Dio, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/the_beauteous_layla_delacroix she didn't need him anymore.]] |
| 222 | ** When Tia [[spoiler: removed the confidence boost she gave him]] along with the leftover magic from the Tiresias Orb, it [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/remove_the_leftover_magic reverted him back to his former self]], just to spite Brooke. |
| 223 | ** And, in chapter 15 he gets stuck with [[spoiler: Blair]]'s consciousness [[EnemyWithin in his body.]] The guy just can't catch a break. |
| 224 | * TheChewToy: If there's ever a chance of anything bad happening to anyone, 8 times out of 10, you can expect Ace to be the victim; [[WithFriendsLikeThese especially if Nina's involved.]] |
| 225 | * CPRCleanPrettyReliable: When Mel (who doesn't know how to do CPR) or Brooke (who doesn't have lips) can't do this for a not-breathing Ash, Ace must. |
| 226 | * DeadpanSnarker: Occasionally, usually in regard to Layla. |
| 227 | * DistractedByMyOwnSexy: Seen during Nina's slumber party, after Chloe gave "her" a makeover[[note]]Ace was still stuck as a girl at the time[[/note]]. Ace was so taken by his own appearance, that he couldn't help [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2010-12-08 admiring "herself".]] |
| 228 | -->'''girl-Ace:''' "I should be looking for a way to change back into a-- Boy. Oh! Oooooh boy." |
| 229 | -->'''girl-Ace: (smiling and posing)''' "Hmm... ooo, yeah..." |
| 230 | -->'''Layla: (wry grin)''' "Are you and that mirror gonna need some time alone?" |
| 231 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Back when the comic was in color, [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2009-07-22 he had a slimmer build and softer facial features]]. He also wore gloves to hide his furry hands. But once it changed to black-and-white (and stopped being a girl), he looks the same as the more muscular grown-up look he had before Tia reverted it, only shorter. |
| 232 | * EmbarrassingNickname: Gets it from both of the Delacroix sisters, who refuse to refer to him by his name. Nina insists on calling him "Puppy, despite knowing how it upsets him. While Layla refers to him as mongrel, or more commonly, "the mutt". |
| 233 | * EnemyWithin: In Volume 4, Blair's consciousness was [[spoiler: [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/we_have_to_contain_me_before_i forcibly released from the doll]]]] by Nina, who was possessed by [[spoiler: Quintessa]] at the time, and has wound up in Ace's body. Now, not only is Ace stuck with him for the foreseeable future, he's threatened to [[spoiler: [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_was_bitten take him over if he falls asleep]]]], to satisfy his perversion. |
| 234 | ** And as it turns out in ''I Was a Teenage Weregirl'', his female self Acina was never gone, but simply takes over his body during full moon to have her way with boys. |
| 235 | * FreakinessShame: Has furry hands and feet, due to puberty being slower on male werewolves and Ace being a late bloomer in general. He's understandably ashamed of them, although Nina finds them cute. |
| 236 | ** However, ''I Was a Teenage Weregirl'' shows that he doesn't have furry feet anymore in college. |
| 237 | * FriendsWithBenefits: The ''Wolf Harts'' one-shot shows he and [[spoiler: Brooke]] have become casual sex friends by the time they're in college. |
| 238 | * GenderBender: Ace was stuck as a girl from [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2010-08-16 Chapter 0]] until the end of Chapter 4, when the effect [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2011-10-03 was finally reversed.]] |
| 239 | * [[ShesAllGrownUp He's All Grown Up]]: When he is restored to a male body, [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2011-10-05 he gets taller and loses his furry hands.]] At least until Tia reverts him to his original appearance. |
| 240 | * InSeriesNickname: |
| 241 | ** Nina almost always calls him Puppy, no matter how times he tells her to stop. |
| 242 | ** Brooke calls him "Acey". |
| 243 | ** His father calls his genderbend form "Acina", though Ace goes with it for convenience's sake. |
| 244 | * InsecureLoveInterest: Due to his low steem, he's very shy when it comes to his feelings towards girls. When he's dating Brooke he's often wondering if he is worthy of being with her or if she loves him. |
| 245 | * LampshadeHanging: He outright tells Layla that Nina liking chocolate just because she was born on Easter doesn't have any sense. Turns out he's right, as [[spoiler: Blair conditioned her that way in an effort to prevent Queen Quintessa's reincarnation.]] |
| 246 | * TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: The time spent as a girl appears to have had a lingering effect on part of Ace's psyche. When he admisters CPR to resuscitate [[spoiler: Ash]], his girl half is beside herself with glee. |
| 247 | -->'''girl-Ace''' ([[{{squee}} squeeing]]) "EEEEEE! He's such a cutie!" |
| 248 | -->'''guy-Ace''' (irately)''' [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/do_you_feel_him_breathing "Sh-shut up, girl-me!"]] |
| 249 | * NiceGuy: [[ButtMonkey Despite all the crap he goes through]], Ace is generally a nice guy, and even HELPS the same friends who humilliate him on a daily basis when they are in need. |
| 250 | * NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted by girl Ace [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2011-04-25 here.]] |
| 251 | * OhCrap: A rare [[Funny/EerieCuties comical example]], when Ace couldn't help laughing at the sight of Brooke [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2010-12-06 yoinking the pads out of Layla's bra]] and the resulting pillow fight... until they decided to join forces and come after her. |
| 252 | * OnlySaneMan: He occasionally shares this role with Brooke, as the rest of the cast are usually off their rocker. |
| 253 | * ProneToTears: While he's prone to sulking, his female version is very sensitive and it doesn't take much to make her cry. In fact, that's the first thing she does after being turned into a girl. |
| 254 | -->''I don't wanna be a girl! I liked being a boy...AND MY CLOTHES DON'T FIIIIT!'' |
| 255 | * SharingABody: With [[spoiler: Blair, due to his spirit being launched at Ace after his doll was broken]]. But he's eventually returned to his proper place, thanks to Tia. |
| 256 | * TookALevelInKindness: At first he wants nothing to do with Nina and is annoyed with her antics and constant reaching. However, after she tries to protect him from the Tiresias Orb he becomes noticeably kinder towards her, finally acknowledging her as a friend. |
| 257 | * UnluckyEverydude: He was a victim of low self-esteem, short height and terrible luck with girls, but his life has never been the same since the Delacroix sisters moved into his life. Getting involved in their antics, every day has become an ordeal for him. |
| 258 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Nina. She's easily been the biggest source of frustration in his life since they met. However, the fact he tries to put up with her foolishness shows that deep down, he really does care about her and wants to help her. |
| 259 | * YankTheDogsChain: If anything good happens to Ace, expect him to lose it soon. |
| 260 | ** When he's restored to a male body, he grows taller and loses his furry hands. This makes him more confident, enough to make a pass on Brooke. Only for Tia to revert him back to his original appearance in Chapter 13. |
| 261 | ** Ace's longest stint of good luck was his relationship with Brooke, which ended when Brooke dumped him due to Tia, Mel, and Nina's meddling at separate times. Eventually subverted by the ''Wolf Harts'' one-shot which reveals he Brooke have settled into being FriendsWithBenefits, during their college years. |
| 262 | ** His first date with Nina turns into a disaster due to running into Brooke and [[spoiler: Nina going berserk after accidentally drinking his blood]]. |

| 268 | !Blair |
| 269 | [[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/BlairEC_1240.jpg]] |
| 270 | Nina's doll, possessed by the spirit of a man; absolutely shameless pervert. [[spoiler: Nina gives him to Tia at the end of vol.4]]. |
| 271 | |
| 272 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: To all females, including [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/worth_it genderbent males.]] |
| 273 | ** AllMenArePerverts: Blair's perverted enough to rival [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Happosai.]] |
| 274 | * AnimalsHateHim: He constantly gets chased and chewed on by every pet he's ever met. |
| 275 | * TheCasanova: [[spoiler: When he get's transferred into Ace's body by accident he rather quickly shows himself able to charm three girls in one day now that he is no longer in a female doll.]] |
| 276 | * CreepyDoll: Oh yes. |
| 277 | * EveryoneHasStandards: |
| 278 | ** Blair lusts after most high-schoolers, but does not take advantage of Nina's "unique" mental state, finding her to be far too much of a KiddieKid. [[spoiler: It turns out he's the one stunting her growth, to avoid her maturing into Quintessa]] |
| 279 | ** He also wants nothing to do with Tia. Mainly since said [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe Demon actually wants to be around him]]. |
| 280 | * EvilGloating: Which was cut short, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/far_better_acommodations courtesy of Tia's magic]], when she came to collect payment for helping Nina save her sister -- as they agreed. |
| 281 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Nina tolerates him primarily because he's cute, and (mercifully) uninterested in her, so she's spared his worst behaviors. The same can't be said of Layla and the others who loathe him, due to being frequent targets of his unwanted advances. By the time Tia takes him away in the final chapter, even Nina isn't too sorry to see him gone. |
| 282 | * TheHedonist: He pretty much only lives to satiate his perversions and considers inhibitions to be "wussy". |
| 283 | * HiddenDepths: He has been trying to combat the upcoming |
| 284 | ** OhCrap: When he hears Tabitha [[spoiler: go "Sorry to interrupt, but DYING HERE!"]] in the back, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/everything_we_feared he fears the worst.]] |
| 285 | * {{Hammerspace}}: [[spoiler:When SharingABody with Ace]], he pulls a stake out of nowhere. Ace {{Lampshade}}s it by asking where it came from. |
| 286 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Blair name is a reference to Linda Blair. He does the ''Exorcist'''s neck trick in [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/sneezeweed his first apparition in the comic]]. |
| 287 | * TheNotSecret: Just about everybody knows his so-called "carefully hidden" weakness. So much so, that [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/carefully_hidden Twiggit]], [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/you_look_terrible Chloe]], and [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/those_are_the_rarest Layla]] have all exploited it at different points. |
| 288 | * PaintingTheMedium: He uses a slightly different font than everyone else. Which eventually comes in useful to distinguish him from Ace when they end up [[spoiler:SharingABody]]. |
| 289 | * PantyThief: As if his character image doesn't make it obvious enough. |
| 290 | * RunningGag: Blair's habit of either saying, or doing, something to annoy others, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/a_little_over-ambitious then getting]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/fully_blossomed_flower punt-kicked]] [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/physically_present_by_your_side for it.]] |
| 291 | * SpannerInTheWorks / WildCard: Blair has two cases of these which stand out. In both he showed he didn't mind interfering with the plans of others if it helped his goals or even jeopardized the good thing he had in the process. |
| 292 | ** He stole the Orb Of Tiresias from the Hellrune Coven to put the whole school into a major gender-bending fiasco that almost turned the school into his own paradise of blonde buxom bimbos, even Nina, who loved him. |
| 293 | ** When told the Doompanties were the rarest panties in the universe, he stole them off of Chloe, not caring if he lost the Heaven he was in with her. Or that he'd be locked in the box with them for a very very long time. |
| 294 | * TemptingFate: [[spoiler:When Nina gives Tia Blair's doll body sans Blair in it, he proclaims Tia won't be getting him as he has found better accommodations (i.e. Ace's body). Tia pulls his spirit out of Ace and back into the doll with a wave of her finger before he can even finish his sentence.]] |
| 295 | * TheUnreveal: The series ended without revealing how Blair's spirit became trapped in Nina's doll. Blair actually offered to reveal his "super secret origin story" in a last second bid to save himself from Tia but nobody wanted to hear it,[[TheFriendNobodyLikes they just wanted him gone.]] Likewise we never really see what he truly looks like. |
| 296 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Chapter 14 has him as one. [[spoiler: Tia boosts a magick on Blair that shrinks anyone he touches down to Blair's size. Unfortunately, while she's collecting the smaller characters, she grabs Blair as well--and suffers the same fate.]] |
| 297 | * VoicesAreMental: [[spoiler:After SharingABody with Ace, Dio mentions that Blair's voice is coming out of Ace's body. He also continues to use the same, slightly different font when speaking than Ace and everyone else.]] |

| 312 | A pair of [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain minor antagonists]], who aspire to become 'queen bees' by overthrowing Layla, but [[ZanyScheme their "plans"]] usually backfire. [[spoiler: As of Vol.4, they've become friends with Nina, and seem to be on good terms with Layla.]] |
| 313 | ---- |
| 314 | !!Both |
| 315 | * AlphaBitch: More wannabees than queen bees, but they are trying to get there. |
| 316 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Nina befriended Laura to cheer her up, after she and Cessily split up. By the end of chapter 13, when Laura returns to normal, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/still_gonna_be_grumpy she thanks Nina for her kindness.]] [[spoiler: Which results in Cessily & Laura becoming friends with her.]] |
| 317 | * BreastExpansion [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/whatever_you_say_layla Both girls were given breasts]] by Chloe about the same size as Chloe had [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/my_next_plan before she reduced them]] thanks [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/wanted_a_day_off to the Doompanties]]. This was to get some A-list students to come to Chloe's in-school party [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey when the two girls invited them]]. [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/happy_endings When the Doompanties returned to their boxes]], both girls were BroughtDownToNormal. Which leads to a DownerEnding as in their eyes [[TheBadGuyWins their opponents won.]] |
| 318 | * CharacterDevelopment: They began as a pair of minor antagonists, toward Layla. Their friendship was briefly severed by Tia's manipulation, but they've made up and have [[spoiler: made a change for the better. In Vol.4, it's revealed that they've both become friends with Nina.]] |
| 319 | %%* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Following the events of chapter 13.]] |
| 320 | * HaveIMentionedIAmSexuallyActiveToday: Needless to say, neither of them are. |
| 321 | * IneffectualSympatheticVillain: They usually foil themselves, often because their plans are either poorly thought out, or [[ZanyScheme just plain weird.]] |
| 322 | * RedOniBlueOni: Cess is the calm (somewhat) levelheaded one, while Laura is prone to igniting whenever she's either excited, or upset about something. |
| 323 | * [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Girls]]: With the emphasis on "two". The others are so used to seeing them together, that Brooke failed to recognize Laura when she [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/usually_tied_at_the_waist saw her without Cessily!]] |
| 324 | * VillainousFriendship: Type I. Despite their hangups, they're virtually inseparable and care about each other. |
| 325 | ** ChildhoodFriends: According to Cessily, they've known each other since they were kids. |
| 326 | * ZanyScheme: Cess has got a million of 'em, and Laura usually goes along with them - including one that was gonna involve [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/my_next_plan paint, an exploding bra, and Laura in a mascot costume]] (don't ask). They never work. |
| 327 | |
| 328 | !!Cessily Frostblossum |
| 329 | A Snow Fairy. |
| 330 | ---- |
| 331 | %%* AnIcePerson |
| 332 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: She seems more comfortable with having bigger breasts thanks to Tia now than she did when Chloe did it earlier. |
| 333 | * InelegantBlubbering: After turning Laura away initially, Cess sees the now-shorter Laura in her Loli-outfit. Seeing this reminds Cess how Laura looked as a kid...and this causes Cess to tear up and hug Laura tightly to her bosom, wailing "I missed you SO muuuuuuch!" |
| 334 | * LaserGuidedKarma: She talked about having Chloe's E-cup breasts done in school colors, then rigging Chloe's bra to pop open and flash the football team. Cess is shocked when they see Chloe with smaller breasts (Chloe was tired of having to lug around those massive breasts). Eventually, Cess and Laura both get E-cups of their own thanks to Chloe, and Cess realizes how heavy they were. |
| 335 | ** And another piece of it when after she'd gotten used to them, they left once the Doompanties were sealed back in their box. |
| 336 | * OnlySaneMan: Much more sensible than Laura. |
| 337 | * VoluntaryShapeshifter: Cess can change her hand and part of her arm to be an ice-based hammer to knock some sense into Laura when she thinks Cess should dye her hair red. Later made a lockpick icicle on her finger. |
| 338 | |
| 339 | !!Laura Morningfire |
| 340 | A fire ifrit. |
| 341 | ---- |
| 342 | * BurningWithAnger: Her temper causes PowerIncontinence for her. |
| 343 | * ButtMonkey: Has run into a lot of misfortune as of late. She loses her breasts thanks to Tia, Cessily leaves her when she thinks Laura was manipulating her as per her species (once again thanks to Tia). And when Nina tries to help her, yet ''another'' run in with Tia results in her losing her height. But she might be having a [[WhenLifeGivesYouLemons means to deal with it]] (see IdeaBulb). |
| 344 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: |
| 345 | ** She was happy with her new breasts. Until she lost them when the Doompanties were relocked into their box. |
| 346 | ** Again when Tia briefly gave them back--then turned around to endow them to Cessily. She was told the only way to GET them back was for Cessily to give them to Laura willingly. And shortly afterwards Tia grabs Cess before Laura can do that. |
| 347 | * CutenessProximity: Laura's plan for getting back at Tia was to be the cutest, most adorable 'lil moeblob ever. [[spoiler: [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/aura_of_innocence It worked.]]]] |
| 348 | * TheDitz |
| 349 | ** ObfuscatingStupidity: Once out of Cess and Evil Chloe's influence, she challenges Tia on a "cute with cute" field and uses her ditziness to cover this up (and have Tia think this extra ditziness might have been a result of her stealing the height and curves from Laura). |
| 350 | * DumbBlonde: Previously until Tia did her nastiness to Laura. Then... |
| 351 | ** IdeaBulb: It takes effort, but [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/even_more_adorable Laura realizes]] when she lost her curves and height, [[WhenLifeGivesyouLemons what was left of her was pretty adorable.]] Going into "The Trendy Loli," she gets an ensemble to later be adorable enough to [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/she_is_so_adorable scare]] Tia Darkness, since she can now compete with the succubus. |
| 352 | * FunSize: Tia takes away Laura's height and gives it to Nina. However, this makes Laura realize she looks adorable--and realize she can challenge Tia on "adorability" now. Going to "The Trendy Loli," Laura uses this to win over everyone, and even use her "aura of innocence" to hurt Tia with a hug (as it "Burns" Tia in doing so). |
| 353 | * ObfuscatingInsanity: Tia initially thinks Laura's lost it. However, this is Laura trying to go "full Lolita" to give enough cred to her own plan to take on Tia. |
| 354 | * PlayingWithFire |
| 355 | * PuppyDogEyes: Uses this on Mr. Purvis to convince him not to punish her due to her non-uniform attire (she also adds that her uniforms don't fit her anymore given her height was taken away by Tia). |
| 356 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Tia Darkness claims that this is an ifrit's nature, using it to drive a wedge between Cessily and Laura by pointing out the latter can't HELP but mess up the former's plans. [[spoiler:When Laura [[IdeaBulb finally realizes that she can put this to use against ''Tia,'']] Tia's machinations begin to collapse hard.]] |

| 362 | [[quoteright:164:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ec20121105_7425.jpg]] |
| 363 | A dark-haired, childlike, demoness who first appears in Vol.3, when Cessily, Laura, and Nina try to summon Chloe back. She soon proves to be quite the troublemaker. Eventually got her own ADayInTheLimelight called '"Tia & Me"'' that delved deeper into her backstory. |
| 364 | ---- |
| 365 | * AppleOfDiscord: Delights in causing arguments and feeds off of them. |
| 366 | * BadassFamily: It turns out Tia has two older sisters: [[spoiler: Artemis and Hecate, from ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'']]! |
| 367 | * BroughtDownToBadass: The ''"Tia & Me"'' story finally sheds light on her background history. She was formally a [[spoiler: grand chaos demon of such power, that it took Artemis and Hecate's combined might to defeat her. It's implied that her sisters reduced her to her current childlike form]], as an added precaution. Despite their efforts, Tia has remained a competent mage, a master manipulator, and [[JerkassGenie a clever prankster.]] Made moreso, due to possessing near [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/right_about_something encyclopaedic level]] intellect. |
| 368 | * BriarPatching: Seen when she [[BatmanGambit used Laura's desire to get rid of her]], to trick Laura into doing her chores around the house instead. Cess saw through it and tried to warn her, but Laura [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_want_her_gone_for_good had already taken the bait.]] |
| 369 | * DeadpanSnarker: Spent most of the ''Queen Quintessa'' arc making dry comments about Layla's and Nina's psyches. |
| 370 | * TheDreaded: '''Major Spoiler Warning:''' as explained by "Tia and Me" Her real name is [[spoiler: Dementia Oblivion, a former Grand Chaos Demon of such power that she threatened to warp all reality into pure insanity. It took both her sisters' combined might to stop her from doing it]]. |
| 371 | * EmotionEater: She used the spat between Cess and Laura as a chance for a meal. |
| 372 | * EnfantTerrible: In appearance, anyway. See OlderThanTheyLook. |
| 373 | * EntitledBitch: Demands that Cessily give her lunch and thinks that Cessily should attend her birthday party despite neither being related to her nor nice to her. |
| 374 | * EvilGloating: [[Funny/EerieCuties Cut hilariously short]] as a result of [[HoistByHisOwnPetard falling victim to her own curse.]] See below. |
| 375 | * EvilIsPetty: How dare Nina have a birthday party on the same day as her?? Time to go teach her a lesson. |
| 376 | * ForTheLulz: Amusement is her sole motivation behind her actions. |
| 377 | * {{Goth}}: Though not yet clear, which variety. |
| 378 | * HoistByTheirOwnPetard: After using Blaire to shrink down everyone she grabs him while not paying attention and shrinks herself down as well. |
| 379 | * ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: ...and I will call you Bessy! And by the end of vol.4, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/far_better_accommodations it's for keeps]], as per [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/know_all_this_dark_magic the agreement Nina made with her.]] |
| 380 | * {{Jerkass}}: See the NecessarilyEvil entry. |
| 381 | * ManipulativeBitch: Quite good at it, she has a way of playing people like violins. |
| 382 | * NecessarilyEvil: She [[EmotionEater feeds on misery and discord]], while displays of kindness, friendship, and happiness can cause her to become physically ill. In extreme cases, it threatens to [[spoiler: [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/so_much_more_to_do make her fade altogether]]]]. Meaning, in all likelihood, she has to sow discord in order to sustain her existence. |
| 383 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: Sure, Tia, take away Laura's chest and give it to Cess, then make sure Cess won't give it back willingly. Then take her height and give it to Nina, and make HER miserable enough to not even think of returning it to Laura. It's not as if Laura can do anything about it, right? What, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/she_is_so_adorable she can out-Lolita]] YOU [[spoiler: and now Laura's touch [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/we_will_be_like_sisters can even BURN you]]]]? Whoops... |
| 384 | * OhCrap: [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/i_am_not_a_surper Aw, pitch-forks!]] |
| 385 | * OlderThanTheyLook: |
| 386 | ** Subtly implied, when Tia refers to Nina as, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/hot_cocoa_at_my_house "little one"]], despite appearing to be the same physical age. |
| 387 | ** Confirmed at the conclusion of "Tia and Me", which reveals [[spoiler: Tia was once a Grand Chaos Demon, who was presumably reduced to child form, after her defeat]]. |
| 388 | * PunctuatedForEmphasis: This [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/make_a_flashy_entrance piece]] after she and Cess' sisters, Neige and Sorbet, end up in a closet instead of openly to crash a party: |
| 389 | --> '''Tia Darkness:''' Who. Drew. The. Circle?\ |
| 390 | '''Neige and Sorbet:''' [each pointing to the other] ''She'' did! |
| 391 | * ThePrankster: Be careful what you wish for, with Tia, as Laura learns in short order. When she demands bigger boobs, Tia takes what Laura has and adds it to Cessily's bust size, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/finders_keepers leaving Laura flat as a pancake!]] |
| 392 | * SpannerInTheWorks: For [[spoiler: Queen Quintessa]]. Her magic was instrumental in saving [[spoiler: Layla]] from her influence. |
| 393 | * TsurimeEyes: Seen in the accompanying folder picture above. |
| 394 | * VagueAge: On the cast page of Vol.4's print edition, her age is marked "unknown". |
| 395 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Since she feeds off misery, the opposite leads to her own suffering. Meaning, displays of happiness and kindness hurt her. In the most extreme instance, when Laura spread joy around the school, Tia [[spoiler: almost faded from existence]]. |

| 404 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: Lamia slaughtered [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/kitty scores of innocents]] and [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/most_cross_indeed! would-be heroes]] in her time, without remorse.¨ |
| 405 | * BrainBleach: Upon realising [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/eerie-cuties/2014-06-30 that yes]], [[AllMenArePerverts she kissed Blair.]] |
| 406 | * ChekhovsGunman: She starts off as little more than a minor [[PosthumousCharacter recurring character]] in Vol.Ø. But she finally becomes a pivotal character in Vol.4, once it's revealed that [[spoiler: Layla]] is her reincarnation. |
| 407 | * TheDreaded: According to historical accounts, Lamia and her minions razed entire villages overnight, leaving countless dead. Anyone foolish enough to oppose her was usually decapitated or torn to shreds by her pet, [[KillerRabbit "Mr. Boodles".]] |
| 408 | * FemmeFatale: Queen Lamia used her wiles to gather supporters from both sexes and planned to rebuild her empire in the modern era. She began by influencing her [[spoiler: reincarnation, Layla]], into going on dates with Brooke, Kade, Dio, and has shown a special interest in [[spoiler: Ace]]. |
| 409 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: When Lamia returns to the living world, she has a lot of trouble adjusting to the many differences. She is taken aback to learn that vampires in current times maintain a low profile and avoid killing humans. Phones and Tumblr are strange to her. But most of all, she misses her pet Boodles. [[spoiler:When Layla defeats and regresses her to a child, she expresses great fear of her strange new world.]] |
| 410 | * GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Quintessa was quite ruthless during her rule managing to wipe out entire towns in one night before moving on to the next. |
| 411 | * KillerRabbit: Mr. Boodles may look cute, but he decapitated King Lupus [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/most_cross_indeed! with a single claw swipe.]] |
| 412 | * FormallyNamedPet: [[FluffyTheTerrible Mr. Boodles]]. |
| 413 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Receives one from [[spoiler: Layla]], for trying to take over her psyche because she refused to accept that her time had long passed. |
| 414 | * SealedInAPersonShapedCan: Blair suspected that Quintessa would be reborn among the Delacroix children, and assumed it would be [[spoiler: Nina. He was only partially correct, since part of Quintessa's spirit remained in Maria, 'til it was passed onto Nina through childbirth. However, she wasn't the one. When Nina bit her sister, that part of Quintessa's spirit was transferred into Layla's body; fully restoring her past life memories as Quintessa]]. |

| 430 | ---- |
| 431 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: As either sister will happily tell you. See LesbianVampire and TooMuchInformation. |
| 432 | * LesbianVampire: Not exactly (a bisexual vampire), but she apparently got involved with Queen Quintessa in Prague and also went through a "phase" with Adora Love, who happens to be Chloe's mom. This causes her to be very... ''friendly''... towards Chloe. |
| 433 | -->'''Maria:''' Of course! Adora Love's daughter!\ |

| 437 | '''Maria:''' Please, call me Maria!\ |
| 438 | '''Nina:''' Mooooommmm! |
| 439 | * MsFanservice: Maria is always seen in attractive, form-fitting gowns, has a curvaceous figure and youthful appearance to say she's over two centuries old, has been featured in [[ShowerScene a shower scene]] and [[FuroScene a bath scene]] (with her daughter, Layla), and [[LesbianVampire had a history with Queen Quintessa and Chloe's mother]]. |
| 440 | * [[NiceGuy Nice Lady]]: She's a very cordial, welcoming host to her daughters' friends and a good, supportive mother. |
| 441 | * OhCrap: Effectively sums up her and Eugene's reaction when Layla hits them with an ArmorPiercingQuestion in the beginning of Chapter 16: [[spoiler: "Mom? Dad? When were you going to tell me I was the reincarnation of an ancient (and fabulous) vampire queen?"]] |
| 442 | * OpenMindedParent: She's totally fine with the idea of her daughter going through an "experimental" phase with another girl, assuring her it's normal in her own... [[TooMuchInformation unique]] way, and is supportive when she gets it in her head that Layla actually ''is'' a lesbian. (She's not, but it's the thought that counts.) |
| 443 | * [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really 700 Years Old]]: She and her husband, Eugene, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/supportive_mother barely look a day older than their late 20's]], despite being over two centuries old. Maria has even [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/no_buts raised 13 children]], yet you'd never be able to tell by looking at her. |
| 444 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: During a cameo appearance in ''WebComic/VampireCheerleaders'', she had a phone conversation with [[WebComic/ParanormalMysterySquad Stephanie Kane and J.C. Summerfield]], who convinced Maria to help them protect the students at Bakertown Highschool, [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/keep_the_kids_safe after assuring her they wouldn't kill the cheerleaders.]] |

| 463 | * BreastExpansion: She briefly had it happen to her, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/boing here]], due to the [[ArtifactOfDoom Tiresias Orb]] acting on Blair's subconscious desire to change her and the rest of Charybdis to conform to his [[BuxomBeautyStandard his idea]] of the [[DumbBlonde "ideal woman".]] |
| 464 | * CelibateEccentricGenius: She's fairly attractive, yet doesn't seem to have an interest in romance. Likely because of her [[ForScience "other" interest.]] |

| 517 | ** [[spoiler: Then again, [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/my_work_here_is_done it may not be so hopeless after all.]] Though their roles have been reversed, with Layla having feelings for Dio, who's hooked up with Ash, thanks to [[MagicalGirl Melissa's]] wand!]] |
| 518 | * FantasticRacism: He wastes no time in bragging to Ace how Vampires are the superior race, and tends to call him ''mutt'' or any related names. |
| 519 | * FlatCharacter: Fans have begun to regard him this way, due to a lack of characterization, compared to the rest of the cast. |
| 520 | * FrenchJerk: Dio ''is'' French (from Marseille, to be precise), though his nationality is almost never mentioned and never comes into play in his jerkass moments. |
| 521 | * {{Jerkass}}: Dio is full of himself, dismissive of anyone he deems inferior to him, classist and displays FantasticRacism like it was nothing. His one redeeming trait is that he's not a womanizer, while it would be very easy for him. |
| 522 | ** BreakTheHaughty: And the universe responds to the above by knocking him down a few pegs in equal measure to his snobby antics. The best example is when he, after Ash slugs him thinking he is going to hurt Tiffany, picks a fight with Ash for "daring to lay a hand on his betters"...and then gets curb-stomped, and also when Layla tells him he got mistaken for a human by Nina on her blood-craving craze, his ego takes a HUGE blow. |
| 523 | * LaserGuidedKarma: After taunting a shrunken Kade, Kade tells him, "Why don't you come down here and say that to my face!" One POOF later, Dio's shrunk down too. |
| 524 | * PrettyBoy: Certainly enough to make Layla forget about Kade, and make Chloe [[LoveMakesYouEvil turn evil]]. |
| 525 | * UpperClassTwit: He comes from a prestigious vampire family himself, and he's ''very'' full of himself. |
