7!!The Main Trio
8
9[[folder:In General]]
10* TheChosenMany: [[spoiler:The trio are apparently a prophesied set of saviors for the Trog people.]]
11* EarnYourHappyEnding: After many trials and tribulations for the trio, and even literally going through hell, they end the story with their respective happy endings.
12** Bean [[spoiler:ditches royalty and gets to live an idyllic life with Mora on a beach.]]
13** Elfo [[spoiler:gets together with Miri, the Mop Girl, and rules Dreamland with her as her consort.]]
14** Luci [[spoiler:goes to Heaven, sticking by God's side and having Jerry for companionship.]]
15* TheFellowshipHasEnded: [[spoiler:After saving Dreamland and stopping Queen Dagmar for good, the trio go their separate ways with Bean leaving Dreamland to be with Mora on a beach, Elfo staying in Dreamland to be with Miri the Mop Girl and rule it as her consort, and with Luci [[KilledOffForReal permanently dead]], he remains in heaven sticking with God and Jerry]].
16* FreudianTrio: With Elfo as superego, Bean as ego and Luci (obviously) as id.
17%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Elfo, Luci and Bean respectively fit this dynamic.
18* VitriolicBestBuds: They have a genuine bond, but they also bicker constantly, with Elfo's infatuation with Bean and Luci's general amorality causing a lot of drama, leading to some cases of...
19* WithFriendsLikeThese: By season 3, Bean acknowledges that their group is very dysfunctional and not working as well as she would like.

23!!!'''Princess "Bean" (Tiabeanie Mariabeanie de la Rochambeaux Grunkwitz) of Dreamland'''

26->'''Voiced by''': Creator/AbbiJacobson (English), Karen Vallejo (Latin American Spanish), Graciela Molina (European Spanish), Momoko Taneichi (Japanese)
27
28The main protagonist of the series. Bean is the 19-year-old daughter of King Zøg and Queen Dagmar of Maru, who's tired of following her social expectations as a princess, and wants to choose a different path in life.
29----
30* AccidentalHero: [[spoiler: As an infant, she absent-mindedly saved her father's life by switching the glasses of wine so she could reach some grapes.]]
31* ActionGirl: Even while drunk, she can handle herself in a fight, be it with fists or swords.
32* TheAlcoholic: She's a heavy drinker and is constantly seen guzzling down beer. She drinks to cope with her [[ParentalIssues daddy issues]].
33* TheAloner: She begins the series with absolutely no friends. Elfo and Luci mostly average her friend count out to two. Bean hints that Zøg has either driven away or just murdered any friend she's ever had.
34-->'''Bean:''' So typical of my family to get rid of all my friends like this. I'm sure one day, you'll wake up with them trying to smother you [Elfo].
35* AmbiguouslyBi: While Bean is constantly lusting after men, it's implied that she may be interested in other women as well. In "The Very Thing", she seems to have spent a night with a mermaid biting her earlobe, and may or may not have run as a walk of shame. Ambiguity is thrown out the window when [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/d78ac1a744c35f51154c6360677b7fa1/19561572226ecb6a-f6/s2048x3072/5e8a5b7bc733b81bc9fddad9f186b9476b9406a2.jpg part 3 came out]]. At the same time, this made her a rare case where it's the ''hetero'' part that's ambiguous, as the dialogue goes a bit out of its way to point out there was never any emotional component to any of her male flings, in stark contrast to her deep connection with Mora.
36* AmbiguouslyGay: Bean was AmbiguouslyBi for the first two seasons before meeting [[ClosetKey Mora]] in season 3. After that, she becomes noticably less attracted to men and even refers to Mora as the love of her life at one point. It's also stated that while she kissed many men, she never felt any emotional attraction to any of them.
37* AntiHero: Bean is a selfish, irresponsible hedonist who's prone to getting into trouble just for fun. However, she's not completely without a moral compass (even if it's rather unpredictable), and she might (sometimes) try to do the right thing in the end.
38* ArousedByTheirVoice: [[spoiler:With Mora the mermaid. On hearing the animated squirrel she voiced, Bean laments that "it's the squirrel of my dreams". This weirds Luci out.]]
39* AssInAmbassador: At first this is averted, when Bean is appointed as an ambassador to Dankmire, managing to do a good job with covering up from her father's diplomatic blunders. But then Luci slips her two shots of Dankmire booze, resulting in a heavily drunken Bean making a fool of herself and embarrassing her whole family in front of their Dankmirian hosts, causing an international incident.
40* BadassAdorable: She's a small, thin, buck-toothed girl in her late teens who's braver and tougher than she looks.
41* BerserkButton:
42** Her father telling her what to do with her life (like getting married to someone she doesn't love) is the biggest motivation for her rebellious actions.
43** She also doesn't tolerate [[StrawMisogynist sexism]] well, as shown when she headbutts Pendergast for denying her entry to board a ship, as he was mistaking her for a [[WomenAreDelicate fragile female]] who couldn't handle the high seas. This comes ahead in 'Electric Princess'.
44** She also ''hates'' it when someone makes fun of her buck teeth to the point where she threatened her own father after he did just that.
45* BigSisterBully:
46** Downplayed, as Bean doesn't interact much with Derek, nor is she especially cruel to him most of the time. But once when she was bored with attending a royal function, she sneaks out to get drunk, stopping only to coerce her brother into not telling anyone by threatening to harm his teddy bear. [[KickTheDog Then she tears the bear's head off anyway.]]
47** The trope is more explored in Season 2, as Derek is revealed to be a really lonely child who wishes to spend time with his sister and her friends after his mother left. Bean pays little attention to him, and outright expresses disdain at him for being born due to him being the heir to the throne and having more privileges than her, who was just seen as a potential wife and baby maker for most of her life, until he gets in real danger. After that, [[JerkassRealization she does start to admit how much she's mistreated him over the years]].
48* BornInTheWrongCentury: Bean is a very modern and forward-thinking girl, born in a land of very [[TheDungAges regressive]] and [[StayInTheKitchen sexist]] thinking. [[spoiler:She's also revealed to be born in the wrong country, since Steamland is apparently much more egalitarian gender-wise than Dreamland.]]
49* BrattyTeenageDaughter: For all that she complains about not having any freedom, Bean spends an awful lot of time drinking, carousing, committing crimes and generally avoiding any royal duties that she does not find interesting. She is also oblivious to the fact that Zøg actually treats her a ''lot'' better than anyone else in the kingdom and that, were she a commoner and not a princess, her head would likely be on a pike. Yet still she acts out unapologetically. Late Season 2 and 3 help her grow out of this.
50* BrilliantButLazy: Due to frequently being drunk and [=/=] or high, and just generally lazy anyway. [[spoiler:Bad Bean shows what would happen if Bean was none of these things, and actually applied herself. She'd be ''dangerously'' clever.]]
51* ButtMonkey: Not to the same extent as Elfo or Luci, but Bean does occasionally get put through some comical physical abuse. There's also all the crap she has to suffer whenever her dad forces her to go marry some guy she doesn't like, or whenever [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin she gets punished for her disobedience]].
52* CopeByCreating: In late Season 2, Bean receives advice that she try to channel her angst into playwriting rather than just try to [[DrowningMySorrows drink it away]]. It helps a lot.
53* TheChosenOne: Well, sort of. "Dreamland Falls" reveals that her mother Dagmar has some very big plans in mind for Bean; apparently, she wants her to be involved in some vaguely described ancient conflict, and claims that this is Bean's ultimate destiny. However, we don't know yet if this alleged prophecy is even true, and what Dagmar wants Bean to become [[DarkMessiah isn't necessarily heroic]].
54* TheCorruptible: Luci was sent to turn her evil. He doesn't exactly have to try very hard, most of the time. Cloyd and the Enchantress expecting him to take months or even years, and are surprised at her progress in a matter of weeks.
55* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Whenever she isn't goofing around and getting drunk, she's off on an adventure and fighting with the VillainOfTheWeek.
56* TheCynic: Her life sucks, and she barely copes with it with lots of alcohol. When she actually feels hope for the first time, she's baffled by a feeling she doesn't want to drink away.
57* DarkAndTroubledPast: When Bean was four years old, she saw her mom get [[TakenForGranite turned to stone]] ''right in front of her''. She apparently blocked out this memory or forgot it however.
58* DeadGirlJunior: Dagmar named her "Tiabeanie Mariabeanie" after Dagmar's grandmother, the late Queen Mariabeanie of Maru.
59* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Bean is one of the [[RebelliousPrincess Rebellious]] TomboyPrincess. The show emphasizes Bean being a troubled teenager who [[DrowningMySorrows drinks]] and [[RebelliousPrincess acts out]] due to living in a world where ThereAreNoTherapists. She lost her mother young [[spoiler:or seemed to]], her father remarried and had his [[HeirClubForMen son and heir]] soon after, so Bean's angst largely stems from feeling replaced and like she doesn't fit in her dad's new family [[spoiler:and then not wanting to be evil like her mother]]. Her not having any official royal duties like her family (aside from [[AltarDiplomacy getting sold off to an arranged political marriage]] [[BabyFactory and pop out tons of kids]]) nor any job like her peasant subjects further gives her lots of free time to dwell on her depression and insecurities, which she tries to [[DrowningMySorrows drink them away]]. None of the skills or interests she does have are the kind her society [[StayInTheKitchen allow women to do]] either, which eventually leads to her internalizing that she's a worthless failure who doesn't belong anywhere (not with her dad's family, not in society), which just feeds into her downward spiral.
60* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:After she's tricked into killing Mora, Bean shuts down and retreats to her room to mourn, disregarding everyone's attempts to get her to focus on saving Dreamland from Dagmar.]]
61* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: This young lady just isn't sure of what she wants in her future. As she says it herself:
62-->"Isn't there a point in everyone's life where they have to figure out who they are?"
63** Several episodes explore this trope. Bean tries her hand at a number of different jobs (executioner, ambassador, then later playwright) as she tries to figure out who and what she wants to be.
64* TheDitherer: On occasion, like when trying to get rid of Merkimer. She considers several options for getting rid of him, but demurs on any that require deliberate action on her party, prompting Luci to suggest she just drive him to madness with her indecisiveness. And when working as a torturer, she tries to just give a victim his last meal, but is utterly unwilling to cook anything for him, even when she insists she doesn't mind.
65* DrunkDriver: In "The Princess of Darkness", Bean takes Luci and Elfo for a drunken joyride in a stolen carriage (per Luci's suggestion). It ends about as well as can be expected, given that Bean is both intoxicated and has never driven a horse carriage before. It doesn't stop her from overestimating her abilities though.
66* DudeMagnet: Her suitors include Prince Guysbert, who seemed to have no problem with marrying her in their arranged marriage; Elfo, who has a big crush on her; Sir Pendergast, who expressed interest in courting her; Sven the Land Viking, who liked her to the point of wanting to marry her; and Sky Gunderson, who was implied to be attracted to Bean; along with other men she has slept (or tried to) with. Season 3 also adds Alva Gunderson.
67* EarnYourHappyEnding:[[spoiler:After a metric ton of pain and suffering, she ends the series living on a beach with the love of her life.]]
68* EpicFail: "Faster, Princess! Kill! Kill!" is one long string of Bean failing at everything she tries, up until she manages to kill Hansel and Gretel by accident.
69* EstablishingCharacterMoment: We first meet her playing hooky on her wedding day by playing poker in a bar, and after getting in a fight with her opponent, she gets out by tossing the whole pot on the floor, getting the whole place to fight over it. Thus it's made clear that she's rebellious, can handle herself in a fight, can also use her smarts to avoid fighting, ''and'' doesn't really care about the money.
70* EveryoneHasStandards:
71** Despite her long list of misdeeds, there are times when Bean actually listens to her conscience instead of ignoring it. In particular, she has occasionally shown a reluctance to engage in totally unnecessary violence against innocent people.
72** While Bean does consider buying poison to kill her obnoxious fiance Prince Merkimer, she doesn't go through with it because she's not comfortable with committing murder. Which is why she comes up with a [[ItMakesSenseInContext convoluted plan to get rid of Merkimer by sending him away to an island of mermaids/sirens]].
73** Bean can't bring herself to execute a harmless, insane old lady in cold blood, with her guilty conscience keeping her from severing the woman's head. Even if (for all everyone knew at the time), that old lady was a witch accused of multiple murders. Given that this woman turned out to be completely innocent, Bean made the right call in sparing her life.
74** While she can't stand Guysbert, and even mocks his fate, she looks appalled at what's become of him afterward.
75* TheExecutioner: Bean temporarily serves as an apprentice to the royal executioner Stan (who is himself a fairly comical, punch-clock version, of the Professional style); and realizes she is a "natural" at killing and torturing people, even when she doesn't really mean to. Nevertheless, she seriously struggled with the job due to the sheer lack of actual investigation to determine if the woman in question was guilty, to the point she couldn't bring herself to execute her.
76* TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest: [[spoiler:Mora the Mermaid is the first person Bean really opens up to and allows herself to feel romantic attraction for (and receive from), and Bean is devastated when it's over]].
77* FriendlessBackground: According to Bean herself, she didn't really have any close friends before she met Luci and Elfo.
78* FunctionalAddict: In late Part 2 and Part 3, while Bean is still obviously TheAlcoholic, she doesn't get blackout drunk in the streets like she used to, and is able to balance her drinking with getting things done.
79* {{Gasshole}}: She may belch out loud after swallowing a whole mug of beer.
80* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Much to her father's endless frustration.
81* HasAType: [[spoiler:Aquatic women. At one point, Dagmar snarks that Bean has underwater sex fantasies. Bean also shows attraction to two separate mermaids at different parts of the series, one of whom is her FirstLove]].
82* HealingHands: [[spoiler: In Season 4 episode “ Goon Baby Goon” it’s revealed that she has healing powers as she accidentally heals Zog’s “goon infected” scratch by touching it.]]
83* TheHedonist: She tries to drown out her miserable life under her dad by indulging in booze, drugs, gambling, and sex.
84* HiddenDepths: While earlier seasons show her to be a rebellious and hedonistic teenager, beneath it all she is shown to be a natural at actually being a leader, [[spoiler:managing to hold the Kingdom together when her father [[SanitySlippage is unable to govern]] and manages to defend the Kingdom from invasion even with obstructive usurpers getting in her way.]]
85* HowDoIShotWeb: Even once she starts figuring out she has some kind of magic powers, she has no idea how to use them. [[spoiler:Bad Bean starts coaching her on how to utilize them.]]
86* IAmNotMyMother: [[spoiler:In Part 2, after discovering that her mother Dagmar is evil and manipulating Bean for her own purposes, she declares that "I am nothing like you." However, in Season 3, she's afraid that she's slowly becoming like her.]]
87* IdiotHero: Not always; Bean is actually fairly intelligent and street-smart, but her [[AlcoholInducedStupidity alcoholism]] and [[TheHedonist impulsive recklessness]] do result in making some stupid mistakes at times. Also, [[ItMakesSenseInContext she once obliviously butchered an entire pet shop before realizing that it's not a slaughterhouse]] (this happened when she was sober, by the way).
88* InformedAttribute: Her eyes are blue, according to Luci. Not that we would know, seeing as they are drawn as black dots.
89* InSeriesNickname: Her actual birth name is Tiabeanie, but everyone just calls her Bean, except for her "best friends and worst enemies".
90* {{Irony}}: Bean herself is unaware of this as she frequently rants to her father about the unfairness of having to enter into an ArrangedMarriage for the benefit of the kingdom, when he is in just such a marriage with Oona.
91* ItRunsInTheFamily: Her indecisiveness comes from her father, at the very least. It turns out both of them are also attracted to mermaids. As Dagmar reveals, Bean gets a lot of her traits from her. Particularly the fondness for drinking. (She also worries that she might end up being a psychotic murderer like her dad [[spoiler:and mom]].
92* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Bean isn't overly mean-spirited, but she is certainly very cynical, an alcoholic, rebellious, reckless, irresponsible and occasionally self-centered. However, she has proven to be a relatively decent person who is good-hearted, friendly and caring towards her loved ones.
93* JekyllAndHyde: Part 4 reveals that Bean has [[spoiler:a malevolent split personality she dubs Bad Bean, who is intelligent, cunning, and ruthless... and also in league with Dagmar. Bad Bean [[SplitPersonalityTakeover hijacks control of Bean's body]] in the finale, only for the original Bean to manifest as a LiteralSplitPersonality and kill her]].
94* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Due to being [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections King Zøg's daughter]], Bean gets away with an amazing amount of criminal behavior that would see almost anybody else in the kingdom thrown in the dungeons for life, if not outright executed. [[spoiler:Until Odval actually does prosecute her on largely bogus charges (including attempted murder and witchcraft); and Derek, now acting king, finds her guilty when he catches her at a bad moment trying to remove a bullet from their father, with a knife.]]
95* TheLadette: Both of her closest friends are male, and she enjoys hanging out in taverns. Also, she prefers wearing pants as opposed to dresses and can be a capable fighter.
96* LonelyRichKid: This princess didn't have many friends growing up, aside from occasional "drinking buddies" she meets in the local taverns. She also implies that her father either kills them or scares them away. Fortunately, she's now got a pair of loyal elf and demon pals.
97* ModestRoyalty: Her usual clothes are a simple tunic and breaches combo.
98* MeaningfulName: Bean's full name, "Tiabeanie Mariabeanie de la Rochambeaux Grunkwitz". It contains a subtle hint that she's an alcoholic; "Tiabeanie Mariabeanie" seems to be a StealthPun on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tia_Maria Tia Maria]] (a type of coffee liquor).
99* MissingMom: Bean's mother Queen Dagmar died when she was young by being [[TakenForGranite turned to stone]]. This is one of the [[FreudianExcuse biggest reasons why she's so depressed]].
100* MyGreatestFailure: Choosing to revive her mother over Elfo. Her mother turned out to be evil and Elfo eventually learned she left him for dead.
101* MysticalWhiteHair: She inherits Dagmar's white hair color, rather than her father's ginger, [[spoiler:along with the magical powers.]]
102* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Bean chooses to use the Eternity Pendant to revive Queen Dagmar instead of Elfo. Turns out, Dagmar was an accidental victim of her own poisoning plot, and Bean's choice leads to the entire kingdom of Dreamland being turned to stone, while Dagmar is now free to carry out her plans.
103* NiceToTheWaiter: Provided they're not a knight, or trying to rob and/or kill her, Bean is pretty cordial to regular folk.
104* ObliviousToLove: She seems pretty oblivious to Elfo's obvious crush on her. Season 3 shows Bean being oblivious to several Steamland residents' obvious interest in her. She explains to Mora the Mermaid that while she's slept with many people, she doesn't believe anyone would really love her if they got to know her.
105* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Bringing her mother back to life rather than Elfo. After Elfo is also brought back, he makes clear that he intends to passive-aggressively guilt-trip Bean about it for quite some time.
106* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Bean is almost never called by her full first name, Tiabeanie.
107* OnlySaneMan: Bean is an alcoholic who frequently spends her nights face-down in a muddy alleys after all-night benders. And yet she's ''still'' one of the only people in Dreamland who's actually on the ball about anything.
108* OverlyLongName: Bean's actual full birth name is [[TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard Princess Tiabeanie Mariabeanie de la Rochambeaux Grunkwitz of Dreamland]]. In "Swamp and Circumstance", Bean (sort of) reveals her full name while on a drunken tirade, though she humorously mangles her last name as "Drunkowitz". Series co-creator Josh Weinstein [[https://twitter.com/Joshstrangehill/status/1036757478392750081 revealed her surname is actually Grunkwitz]]; it's also the family name of Dreamland's royal dynasty, the House of Grunkwitz.
109* PimpedOutDress: Befitting her station she wears several, including both her wedding dresses, and the dress she wears while hammered to a state function in Dankmire. Though of course, she prefers wearing a tunic and trousers.
110* ReallyGetsAround: Played with. In the first episode, Bean already admits that she's not a virgin, and has had premarital sex before. However, while Bean tries to sleep around with random men, they're all too afraid of actually fornicating with her out of fear for incurring her father's wrath. In short, she's more of a female CasanovaWannabe who has difficulty with getting laid (due to circumstances beyond her control).
111* RebelliousPrincess: Since adolescence, Bean has been disobeying her father whenever she can, whether it's trying to avoid marrying another suitor he's sent for her, or committing various vices and petty crimes just for fun.
112* RunawayBride: In the series premiere, Bean gets fed up with her [[ArrangedMarriage planned wedding]] to Prince Guysbert (and then Prince Merkimer), so she escapes the castle and flees into the woods. By the next episode though, she gets recaptured by Merkimer and Pendergast's knights to be delivered back into the wedding chapel.
113* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She takes her shirt off in public with no shame in the first episode, and actively enjoys being nude on Wash Day. According to Zøg, she publicly strips fairly often.
114* ShockAndAwe: [[spoiler: From her mother side, she can cast black lightning bolts powerful enough to blackout an entire city, and strip the flesh off a person's bones]].
115* SpannerInTheWorks: As a kid, Bean spun around a drinks tray to get at some grapes, inadvertently performing a PoisonedChaliceSwitcheroo on her mother, who'd been planning to turn Zog to stone.
116* StayInTheKitchen: An interesting take on the trope as most of Bean's interests and talents happen to be in areas women are not allowed (including playwriting, but women are not permitted in the theatre), while all the professions she is allowed to try are ones where she has no talent, or she's sabotaged by external forces. (Like Luci spiking her drink and causing her to put the AssInAmbassador.)
117* StonersAreFunny:
118** After stealing some of Oona's [[FantasticDrug snakeroot]], she goes on a massive daydream/rant about forming a band with Elfo and Luci, laying out their entire "history" in the space of a minute.
119** Later on, she and Oona split the stash (though Oona later clarifies Bean took far more than she should have). They spend several hours running and jumping around the castle grounds talking a mile a minute.
120* StrongFamilyResemblance: Bean obviously looks ''a lot'' like her mother Dagmar, though her figure is not as curvy as her mom's, and her nose and jaw look more like her dad's.
121* SweetTooth: According to [[spoiler:Bad Bean]], she's got a serious thing for muffins, and hides them all around her room. An indignant Bean insists this is just in case anyone ever visits, and she just ''happens'' to occasionally eat them all.
122* ThereAreNoTherapists: PlayedForDrama. Bean is clearly a troubled teenager struggling with losing her mother young [[spoiler:and then learning said mother is evil]], feeling like she doesn't belong in her dad's new family or having any purpose anywhere. Yet, she lives in a LowFantasy resembling TheDungAges, so there's no one she can talk to or find a healthy outlet for her emotions.
123* TomboyPrincess: She doesn’t seem to be especially feminine, and looks more comfortable wearing trousers than dresses.
124* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Downplayed somewhat, due to her "weak chin" and "buck teeth," while also lacking her mom's curvy figure (though she also tends to avoid more flattering gowns in favor of her tunic). However she's nonetheless attractive enough to get the attention of numerous characters, [[spoiler:and it's even one of the pieces of "evidence" Odval uses against her at her trial for witchcraft.]]
125* UseYourHead: In "For Whom the Pig Oinks" she responds to Pendergast's sexist comments with a headbutt that knocks him to the ground.
126* VictoriasSecretCompartment: She shoves [[spoiler:Luci's severed head]] down the cleavage of her dress in order to hide it.
127* WaifFu: She is a strong and slim young woman who has accomplished a great many physical feats, but "The Very Thing" shows her able hold on (with some help) her obese father from falling to his death.
128* WarriorPrincess: Bean's not a professional soldier or a trained warrior by any means, but she's surprisingly capable with a sword.
129* WellDoneDaughterGal: She hides it, but she does want her dad to say he's proud of her for ''something''.
130* WhatIsThisFeeling: Bean had apparently never felt much hope before; because when she finally feels it, she wonders what is it about that feeling that makes her not want to drink it away. Elfo is the one who tells her she is feeling hope.
131* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Elfo. He clearly has a crush on her but Bean's feelings towards him are unclear, aside from seeing him as her best friend. When they do kiss, under the influence of Bliss, she determinedly avoids discussing the situation at all. After season 2, the matter is clarified; Bean feels no romantic attachment toward Elfo at all, [[spoiler:and eventually ends up with Mora.]]
132* YoureNotMyFather: She claims that Zøg isn't her dad anymore, after her father's men have killed Elfo in an attempt to breach into Elfwood to steal elf blood. Played with in that Bean doesn't exactly say this to Zøg himself, just to Luci and a dying Elfo.

135[[folder:Elfo]]
136!!!'''Elfo'''
137[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elfo.jpg]]
138[[caption-width-right:350:''"I wanna see the outside world."'']]
139->'''Voiced by''': Creator/NatFaxon (English), Carlos Hernandez (Latin American Spanish), Masayuki Akasaka (Japanese)
140
141Bean's best friend, an 18-year-old elf from the land of Elfwood. He's cheerful and optimistic, but has grown very bored of his hometown, and wants to explore the outside world.
142----
143* AllLoveIsUnrequited: He develops a crush on Bean, who doesn't reciprocate. [[WillTheyOrWontThey Maybe, at least for now]].
144* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: He came from a HiddenElfVillage, but left because he doesn't agree with the lifestyles of the rest of his own kind, and hates following his endless routine of singing, dancing, and making candy all day long.
145* ApologeticAttacker: Once during a fight, he repeatedly apologized to a guy he was beating the crap out of.
146* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Is legitimately upset when Luci briefly gets kidnapped by an exorcist, even though he tries to act like Luci's absence is a good thing.
147* BackFromTheDead: Bean and Luci bring him back to life in "Stairway to Hell", by putting his soul back into his body.
148* BadassAdorable: Elfo is a small, goofy elf from a SugarBowl village who got so tired of his hometown's saccharine atmosphere, that he leaves in search of the outside world, which is a much more dangerous (yet far more exciting) place. While Elfo doesn't even understand what {{war|IsHell}} is when he sees it for the first time, he's brave enough to do what it takes to survive in a CrapsackWorld. In "Our Bodies, Our Elves", he single-handedly took down a group of ogre guards to rescue Bean.
149-->'''Bean:''' Whoa, Elfo. You're kinda scary when you're in a blood rage.
150* {{Badbutt}}: By human standards, Elfo's a pathetic wuss. By elf standards, he's a renegade. On seeing Elfwood for the first time, Bean admits that by comparison to everyone else, Elfo does suddenly seem like a total badass. Note that his crimes include complaining about their [[HappinessIsMandatory overly happy lifestyle]], criticizing their candy-based economy, sleeping with the king's daughter, and never returning library books.
151* BerserkButton: Hates being tickled. He'll laugh along at first, until he screams his head off for whoever's doing it to stop, his own mother included.
152* BloodMagic: It's said that elf blood has magical properties, which Zog hopes to use to create the ElixirOfLife. In one case, after Elfo's blood is mixed with pig's blood, and Prince Merkimer ends up turning into a pig after drinking the concoction ([[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext he had mistaken it for an aphrodisiac]]). Eventually though, Elfo's blood fails to create an actual ElixirOfLife, due to Elfo not being a pure elf.
153* ButtMonkey: Elfo seems to have quite a knack for bad luck and AmusingInjuries. For example, when attempting to swim across a river with his friends, he only ends up getting carried away by the current and falling off a cliff.
154* CannotSpitItOut: He's blatantly attracted to and crushing on Bean, but refuses to admit it, and gets incredibly uncomfortable when Luci gets annoyed by this and tries to make him just admit it.
155-->'''Luci:''' Just say "Bean"! You wanna watch the sun rise with Bean!\
156'''Elfo:''' Stop saying what I mean!
157* CasualKink: He's got a spanking fetish. Alarmingly, it's implied to come from his dad hitting him on the ass as a kid.
158* CatchPhrase: "Hi! I'm Elfo!" [[spoiler:Season 4 reveals his mother drilled it into him so he'd be proud of his half-elf heritage.]]
159* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: He states that he's become completely inured to death due to the harrowing adventures he's gone through in "The Dreamland Job", but this is disproven later in Part 2.
160* CovertPervert: Has tried to sneak a peek at Bean changing at least once. Eventually, Bean even calls him a stalker.
161* CowardlyLion: Starts out as a FearlessFool, what with not even knowing ''what'' to fear in the outside world at first, and gradually works himself up to this through alarmingly regular [[ActionSurvivor action-surviving]].
162* CrazyJealousGuy: He gets incredibly bent up at the thought of Bean being with another man, and sabotages her attempt to sleep with Sven the Viking, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero which inadvertently leads to a massacre in the castle]].
163* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Elfo is a naive, goofy, airheaded elf who doesn't understand too much about the way things work in the world outside of Elfwood. Despite this, he's still willing to back up Bean and Luci in a fight when necessary; and even has a pretty impressive punch that knocked out a chicken in one blow, and was able to pummel a full grown man to unconsciousness. [[spoiler:Elevated further in part 2 when he takes out a handful of ogre guards with just a vegetable peeler (and a lot of StopHittingYourself).]]
164* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He's fairly eccentric and airheaded. Some of that is simply because of elf upbringing, but even then he's hinted to be a doofus even among them.
165* CommanderContrarian: A RunningGag is Elfo doing something stupid because he's been told not to, such as opening his mouth when stuck in a room full of coins, or yelling at someone who's come to rescue him because they tell him to be quiet.
166* TheConscience: Elfo (usually) tries to provide more morally good advice to Bean, in contrast to [[TheCorrupter Luci]].
167* CutenessProximity: Even ''Zøg'' of all people thinks he looks adorable, calling him a "marshmallow with legs" while tickling him like a baby.
168* TheDitz: He looks like a nice guy and all, [[DumbIsGood but he isn't very intelligent either]].
169* ADogNamedDog: Sort of, he's an elf named Elfo. Despite the {{iron|icName}}y that he isn't even a full-blooded elf.
170-->'''Sorcerio''': Tacking an '-o' on the end of 'Elf'? [[LampshadeHanging It's suspiciously on the nose]].
171* DoggedNiceGuy: He has a huge crush on Bean, but is too cowardly to admit it. This aspect of him gets downplayed in Season 2, where he supposedly makes peace with their just being good friends. Later on, it's made clear he's still crushing on Bean but she refuses to even acknowledge it.
172* EarNotch: He has one in his left ear. In “Freak Out!” he admits that he’s quite self conscious about it.
173* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When we first meet Elfo, he's the only visibly dissatisfied elf, ignores his job, and then makes out with the King's daughter.
174* FishOutOfWater: As much as Elfo dislikes the monotonous lifestyle of his hometown Elfwood, it's made obvious that [[NaiveNewcomer he's clearly out of his element once when he leaves for the outside world]]. He doesn't even understand concepts like war and non-sweet food at first. That said though, it doesn't take too long for Elfo to adapt to living in Dreamland.
175* {{Foil}}: To Luci. Elfo is stupid, happy-go-lucky and kind, but not quite as nice as he thinks he is. Luci is smart, cynical and mean, but [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold not quite as mean as he wants people to think]].
176* {{Foreshadowing}}: Elfo's nose is different from all the other elves' noses [[spoiler:but identical to the ogres' noses]], implying he's part elf and part [[spoiler:ogre]].
177* FourFingeredHands: He has exactly four fingers on each hand.
178* FreakinessShame: He's self-conscious about the notch on his ear.
179* TheFriendNoOneLikes: Pretty much everyone in Dreamland hates him. Even Derek, usually a naive twit, admits he's wanted to beat Elfo up for ages. The other elves all despise him, partially because of his association with Bean, but also because he uses the word "bum-bum".
180* GirlfriendInCanada: "Love's Tender Rampage" is about him telling this sort of lie. Much to his chagrin, Bean dispatches the knights to find the woman he described... and they do.
181* HasAType: Bigger women, by his own admission. (First Bean, then [[spoiler:Edith]]).
182* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:When ogres are invading Dreamland and are demanding Elfo in exchange for the lives of Dreamland’s residents, Elfo decides to sacrifice himself to save his friends.]]
183* HumanResources: More like Elf Resources; Zøg only continues to keep Elfo captive in the castle, in order to gradually drain his blood for magical experiments. He seems to be living elsewhere in Dreamland, in part 2, once they stop needing his blood.
184* IncrediblyLameFun: His idea of fun when Luci's not present is picking daisies. He loses it when Bean puts a dandelion in it, and then has a sobbing breakdown as he admits he doesn't know how to have fun.
185* InLoveWithLove: Downplayed. In Season 3, Elfo laments that he has so much love to give, but no one to give it to.
186* InnocentlyInsensitive: He can be insensitive without knowing it.
187* ItRunsInTheFamily: Elfo's father says he probably got his fondness for tall women from him. [[spoiler:In fact, Elfo is the product of an InterspeciesRomance between his elf father and his mother, who is the Queen of the Ogres.]]
188* InterspeciesRomance: He's an elf with a (so far one-sided) crush on Bean, a human woman. [[spoiler:He's also the result of one, with his father having seduced an ogre.]]
189* IronButtMonkey: He takes a lot of punishment, starting from getting nearly all his blood drained by Sorcerio.
190* IronicName: [[spoiler:Elfo is not really a full-blooded elf; in fact, he might be the only elf that isn't, despite being named Elfo.]]
191* ItsAllAboutMe: He's pretty upset that Bean passed up a chance to save him in favor of reviving her mother.
192* KnightInSourArmor: Has shades of this in Season 2, out of situational necessity - particularly in "Our Bodies, Our Elves", where it's clear he's only searching for the Legendberries because he feels he ''has'' to.
193* LikeFatherLikeSon: Elfo gets his love of bigger women from his dad, who himself [[spoiler:hooked up with a bigger ogre woman who had Elfo]].
194* LiteralMinded: When Lady Lingonberry yells out "I'm drowning!" while trapped in a carriage sinking into water, Elfo only greets her back with, "I'm Elfo!".
195* LoveAtFirstSight: Falls for Bean the moment he first sees her.
196* LoveBeforeFirstSight: Falls for [[spoiler:Edith the Fortuneteller]] just from hearing her voice the next room over, despite being told she's [[spoiler:just a head]].
197* {{Manchild}}: Due to growing up in [[SugarBowl Elfwood]], he still has the mentality of a young child. Once, Elfo even [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext allowed Bunty to treat him like a baby]] until he got sick of it.
198* TheManTheyCouldntHang: On account of being an elf, and therefore not having the body-weight necessary to pull the rope tight. Most elves hung die of old age.
199* MissingMom: Elfo never knew who his own mother was, and he was evidently raised by a single father. The only fact that Elfo has learned about his mom so far is that [[InterspeciesRomance she wasn't an elf]]. [[spoiler:Part 2 reveals she's dead by the present day, and hints she might be an ogre. Part 4 eventually clarifies that his mother is the Queen of the Ogres, and that his father only thought that she had died; she's actually alive and well and eventually reunites with Elfo and Gramps]].
200* MoodSwinger: Can go from calm to raging fury at a moment's notice. Mora finds it worrying, and asks Bean if there's some kind of stable Elfo she just hasn't seen.
201* NiceGuy: He's very kind and friendly to Bean, and empathizes with her personal struggles. Having said that, he can also [[BewareTheNiceOnes turn quite nasty]] if Bean pays more attention [[CrazyJealousGuy to other guys than to him]], and he gets more [[BitchInSheepsClothing passive-aggressive]] as time passes.
202* NonhumanHumanoidHybrid: Elfo's father is an elf and his mother is revealed in Part 4 [[spoiler:to have been the princess of the ogres, explaining his green skin and flat nose]].
203* NonStandardCharacterDesign: He looks a lot different from all the other elves. [[spoiler:Which actually turns out to be a big hint as to the reveal that he's half-ogre]]. Also, he has a completely different nose to anyone else encountered in all the lands explored by the trio thus far.
204* OnlySaneMan: To an extent, Elfo may be the Only Sane Elf in all of Elfwood. He seems to be the only one who sees the absurdity in their monotonous lifestyle of singing, dancing, producing and consuming candy all the time. Furthermore, it's implied that the reason why Elfo is so much more (openly) depressed than the other elves, is because he's the only one who's willing to admit how [[HappinessIsMandatory forced]] and [[StepfordSmiler fake]] the "happiness" in [[CrapsaccharineWorld Elfwood]] really is.
205* OnlyOneName: Implied to have no last name.
206-->'''Luci:''' On checks, he just writes "Elfo" and then puts a little heart at the end.
207* OurElvesAreDifferent: Elfo is a small green elf from Elfwood. [[spoiler:Though it turns out that he isn't actually a full-blooded elf; his mother was an ogre.]]
208* PaperThinDisguise: When sent to infiltrate the elves (since they all hate him), he puts on a fake mustache, deepens his voice and calls himself "Mustachio". Would've worked, had he not given it away trying to talk himself up.
209* SecondLove: Elfo falls for [[spoiler:Edith the Fortuneteller]] in Season 3, and is distraught when she ends things.
210** Fortunately, [[spoiler: Mary the Mop Girl]] becomes his third love and happily ends the show with her.
211* StarCrossedLovers: He falls for [[spoiler:Edith the Fortuneteller]] in Season 3, but she's [[CartwrightCurse cursed so that anyone who falls in love with her will meet a horrible end]], so she [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim ends things before they begin]] to spare Elfo.
212* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: Despite being a main character, he dies at the end of "To Thine Own Elf Be True", after being hit by a stray arrow and then bleeding out in Bean's arms. Bean later has a chance to revive him with the ElixirOfLife, but only has enough for one use, and chooses to revive her mother instead. He's resurrected in Season 2, though he's initially bitter towards Bean for resurrecting her mother instead of him.
213* SweetTooth: Like all elves, Elfo still loves candy and other sweets. This is part of the reason why he's easily enticed by a suspicious GingerbreadHouse in the middle of the forest.
214* TooDumbToLive: Elfo doesn't have much in the way of common sense at first, which gets him into a lot of trouble in Part 1.
215** When stumbling upon an active battlefield where gnome and ogre armies were slaughtering each other, Elfo simply watches on with cheerfully oblivious curiosity, and only survives the carnage due to sheer dumb luck.
216** Elfo finds a strange GingerbreadHouse in the middle of the forest. The homeowners, Literature/HanselAndGretel, [[ObviouslyEvil are heavily implied (and soon confirmed) to be a pair of psychopathic serial killers]]. Elfo isn't wary of them at all, and even eats their candy bowl (laced with sleeping powder); while semi-conscious, ''he butters himself'' before they even start cooking him.
217-->'''Gretel:''' He might as well butter himself.\
218''(Elfo starts doing just that)''\
219'''Hans:''' He is!\
220'''Gretel:''' I'm confused. Does he ''vant'' to die?\
221'''Elfo:''' No, I just don't wanna stick.
222** In "Who Shot Elfo?", against Mary and Luci's wishes, he travels back in time to see who shot an arrow at him during "To Thine Own Elf Be True," thinking that undoing the event would prevent a lot of headache to his friends, [[spoiler:only to find that it was ''him'' traveling back in time who shot ''himself'' with an arrow, [[StableTimeLoop rendering his point moot...]][[DidntThinkThisThrough until Mary points out after he had broken the crystal ball that he could've just stopped his time-travelling self from shooting an arrow in the first place.]]]]
223* TookALevelInBadass: In part 2, Elfo goes from being so naive that he doesn’t know what war is to being able to take out a room full of ogres with a potato-peeler (albeit with a lot of luck involved). He also states that Bean has put him in so many life-threatening situations that his body no longer registers fear.
224* TookALevelInJerkass: He was never the nicest elf, but he grows far meaner, self-centered and cynical as the show progresses, despite still retaining some solid virtues.
225* TooKinkyToTorture: He's pretty cheerful about getting his blood drained by Sorcerio. And this is PlayedForLaughs in part 5, where Dagmar torturing him is treated as a ''literal'' fetish session, not only by him but to a certain extent by Dagmar; naturally it accomplishes nothing.
226* WideEyedIdealist: While Elfo is a cynical pessimist by [[SugarBowl Elfwood]]'s standards, in the outside world he's unusually cheerful and optimistic, to the point that Elfo naively trusts the first few strangers that he meets.
227** The events of the end of Part 1 and the beginning of Part 2 seem to have tempered his idealism somewhat, and he is noticeably more sour and pragmatic from then on.

230[[folder:Luci]]
231!!!'''Luci'''
232[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/luci.jpg]]
233[[caption-width-right:350:''"I want to get rid of all the diseases plaguing mankind... and replace them with '''worse ones'''."'']]
234->'''Voiced by''': Creator/EricAndre (English), Geno Sanchez (Latin American Spanish), Tsuyoshi Aoki (Japanese)
235
236Bean's other companion, her very own personal demon. Luci was sent to Bean as a "gift" (curse) from an unknown entity, and tries to bring evil and chaos into her life.
237----
238* ActOfTrueLove:[[spoiler:God gives him a wish in the series finale. He chooses to revive Bean's love interest because he loves Bean and wants to see her happy.]]
239* AffablyEvil: He is a demon who actively seeks to spread evil and mischief. That said, he is more of a LaughablyEvil ComedicSociopath with a very laid-back demeanor, and he's rather friendly with Bean and Elfo. Heck, Luci usually doesn't really try that hard to do something bad unless he finds it to be amusing.
240* AntiVillain: Despite being a devious demon and proud of it, Luci has shown to be capable of feeling love and empathy, and will selflessly protect his friends when they're in danger.
241* AscendedDemon: [[spoiler:He ends up in heaven after dying in the Part 3 finale, much to his regret.]] [[spoiler:And then again after dying in part 5.]]
242* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: He genuinely does care for Bean. [[spoiler:He's also legitimately upset when Elfo dies.]]
243* BaitAndSwitchComment: He seems to be especially fond of these:
244-->"Entertainment is just a tool that pacifies the masses, and leads to the decay and ultimate collapse of civilization... let's clap along!"
245* BarbieDollAnatomy: Elfo points out in-universe that Luci has no genitals.
246* TheBartender: He takes over The Flying Scepter pub in Part 2, renames it "Luci's Inferno," and spends much of it there serving alcohol and demon pee.
247* BlueAndOrangeMorality: His mischievous moments generally seem devoid of spite or malice. He's just doing what's considered normal for a demon.
248* BigEater: In season 1 episode 2, he swallows a bird as big as him in a single gulp.
249* BigNo: Happens at the end of the Part 3 finale, [[spoiler:when Luci wakes up in Heaven after dying while trying to save Bean from Dagmar. His reaction is a big "HELL NO!!!"]]
250* BizarreAlienBiology: Or Bizarre Demon Biology. He mentions he secretes peanut-butter from the tip of his tail, and evidently has a hot enough body-temperature that tears turn to steam the minute they leave his eyes.
251* BreadAndCircuses: He believes that any form of entertainment serves to distract people from the structural problems of society, and will eventually lead to the downfall of mankind, [[CardCarryingVillain which is why he loves it so much]].
252* ButtMonkey: Not as much as Elfo, but Luci does seem to suffer a fair amount of AmusingInjuries too. Even in his introductory scene where Luci meets Bean for the first time, she smacks Luci around [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain despite his attempts at scaring her]].
253* CainAndAbel: Claims he murdered his brother Guci, in a rambling monologue where he also seems unsure if he did or if he actually is Guci, or he's lying about the whole thing. Though in his case, Luci says it was a case of "evil brother and ''evil-er'' brother". And later on, Zog mentions he sees Guci in his dreams.
254* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Thanks to an application of the Sacred Goo, his body's revived, but his head has some difficulty staying on.]]
255* CardCarryingVillain: Being a demon from Hell after all, Luci openly and proudly claims himself to be an agent of darkness.
256* CatchPhrase:
257** "Do it!" Sometimes with an extra, "Do-it-do-it-do-it!"
258** "Noice!" Whenever someone knocks something over.
259* TheCatCameBack: When they first meet, Bean locks him in a box, then sits on it, to find him standing right next to her. Then she kicks him down a long staircase. The minute she turns around, he's standing there, with a little crutch.
260* CheatedAngle: It's actually implied that Luci's flat-black character design (and other demons like him) is not just stylistic but literal. You only ever see one eye regardless of where he is facing, and he once says "look into my ''eye''."
261* CompleteImmortality: Had this, but was stripped of it after he helped Elfo escape from Hell.
262* TheCorrupter: Luci acts like a proverbial devil on one's shoulder, constantly tempting Bean towards the dark side, in contrast to [[TheConscience Elfo]].
263* DarkIsNotEvil: It just gives people really bad ideas.
264* DeadpanSnarker: He's got the most zingers out of anyone in the show. Especially when conversing with [[LiteralMinded Elfo]].
265* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler: Luci suffers this fate at the end of the series, when Dagmar dumps his body in lava. Resurrection relies on a body being intact before the soul can renter it. While he did return from the dead once the lack of a physical corpse means that his 2nd death is permanent. However he’s still able to save the day for Bean despite this, and is now in Heaven due to his kind nature.]]
266* DealWithTheDevil: The demon offering the bargain. Of course, being LaughablyEvil, his price is horsey rides. Still follows the [[HonestJohnsDealership "cheats you blind"]] trope though.
267* DemonicPossession: Being a demon after all, Luci has the ability to get inside a mortal body and take control of it. However he hasn't ever been seen doing this with his own free will; it only happens once when the Enchantress casts a spell that forces Luci to possess Bean, in an attempt to hide himself from the exorcist Big Jo. When this fails to fool Jo, Luci just plays along with the situation and even [[ExorcistHead spins Bean's head around just for fun]].
268* DePower: After backstabbing Asmodium at the beginning of Part 2, he's stripped of his newly-attained Level 4 Uber-Demon powers and returned to his original form. [[spoiler:The Part 2 finale reveals that he's been completely depowered, and even his immortality is gone.]]
269* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Although Luci is loath to admit it, he's far from being a heartless monster, because he truly cares for Bean and Elfo as his best (and only) friends.
270* EvenEvilHasStandards: While Luci is definitely a very mischievous fellow, and has casually suggested that Bean should kill her enemies a few times, for the most part [[HarmlessVillain he's not really as malevolent as he makes himself out to be]]. Luci also tends to be [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters nowhere near as bad as the]] [[VillainOfTheWeek episode's main antagonist]].
271* {{Expy}}: He's pretty much [[{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}} Bender]], if Bender was a demon living in a fantasy world. Though where Bender was loud and obnoxious, Luci tends to be more aloof and indifferent.
272* ExtremeOmnivore: He'll eat a diseased chicken whole (while it's still alive), as well as crab shells (he leaves the meat for everyone else), and even [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies meat dishes made from people]] (even thinking it's Elfo does nothing to deter him).
273* {{Foil}}: Luci is this to Elfo. Luci is smart, cynical and mean, but [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold not quite as mean as he wants people to think]]. Elfo is stupid, happy-go-lucky and kind, but not quite as nice as he thinks he is.
274* ForTheEvulz: Luci's only discernible motive is spreading chaos and destruction. He even proclaims that he dreams of making all the diseases affecting humanity ''even worse''.
275* FourFingeredHands: He has ''three'' fingers on each hand.
276* GenderBlenderName: He's a demon named Luci (pronounced Lucy). According to Elfo, it’s short for Lucille, rather than Lucifer.
277* GivenNameReveal: [[spoiler: In the finale, Luci's name in the Book of the Dead is shown to be "Luci" Lucille Lucifer Jr. DCLXVI, Son of Satan]]
278* HarmlessVillain: Zig-zagged. For all his big talk about being evil and doing bad things, Luci is (usually) much more annoying than threatening. He seems content with just [[PokeThePoodle causing simple mischief]], {{trolling}} people, and encouraging his friends to [[TheCorrupter give into their vices and commit petty crimes]]. Luci may be a bit of an asshole, but he's not some megalomaniac supervillain.
279* HeelFaceTurn: Whatever his motives and purpose, at the very least he genuinely ''does'' seem to care for Bean in his own way, [[spoiler:and when he learns that Queen Dagmar is up to no good, he immediately warns King Zøg and tries to help stop her in the finale. It's revealed later Dagmar is connected to the ones who sent him, who are her siblings, and have been plotting Dreamland's fall. By the end of the series he is not just in Heaven, but God gives him a halo and wings to make it clear he sees Luci as a benevolent and noble being.]]
280* HeroicComedicSociopath: Luci may be a demon, but he's actually not a bad friend or adventuring companion. Still, even outside of his mission to corrupt Bean, he is prone to doing things explicitly to cause mayhem. But he can also turn it off when he wants to, although he will almost certainly complain about having to do so.
281-->'''Luci:''' I should be the one killing everyone! I should be the one creeping everyone out!
282* HeroicSacrifice: When the exorcist Big Jo makes it clear that he is willing to hurt or even kill Bean to exorcise him, Luci willingly gives himself up to save her. Fortunately, Bean and Elfo rescue him just in time before he could be destroyed by Big Jo. [[spoiler: In "Stairway to Hell" he gives up his immortality to save Bean and Elfo.]]
283** [[spoiler: In the Part 3 finale, Luci ''actually dies'' while trying to save Bean from Dagmar, and the last shot of the episode is God welcoming him into Heaven for dying while committing a good deed. He is NOT happy about it.]]
284* IAmNotWeasel:
285** When Luci first introduces himself to Bean, she mistakes him for a "weird [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghost]] guy", before Luci corrects her by saying that he's a ''demon''.
286** Aside from Bean and Elfo, most people [[RunningGag consistently]] mistake Luci for a cat, much to his annoyance, though he doesn't ever bother to tell them that he's really a demon and even plays along with it on occasion.
287* ImmortalityHurts: Luci tells Bean he can still feel pain in "Stairway to Hell".
288* InsistentTerminology: He's not a "bad influence" on Bean, he's an ''[[DistinctionWithoutADifference enabler]]''.
289* IResembleThatRemark: After remarking that he's not a cat, Luci goes on to grumble in annoyance that he'll "be sitting in the window", much like a cat sunning itself. Sometimes, he just rolls with the misidentification to earn attention.
290* IronButtMonkey: Being a demon, he can recover from being squashed flat with a mace or kicked down a flight of stairs in the time it takes a person to turn around.
291* {{Jerkass}}: As a demon, he enjoys doing mean things to others, no matter how petty. For example, kicking Bean off a bed just to deprive her of sleep.
292* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being an evil creature who loves causing misery and strife, he cares a lot about his friends.
293* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Dagmar kills him by dumping him in molten lava, burning him to ashes. God informs Luci that he can't be resurrected this time; he's dead permanently.]]
294* LameLastWords: [[spoiler:His last words before his final death are to complain about his body parts being melted in lava, including his [[GroinAttack groin]]. He immediately lampshades this right before he dies.]]
295* LaughablyEvil: He's a ComedicSociopath somewhat similar to [[{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}} Bender]].
296* LivingShadow: He and the other [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]] shown seem to be made of darkness, and can interact with the shadows of other people.
297* LouisCypher: He's a demon named Luci, which is just a few letters away from Lucifer (another name of {{Satan}}). Elfo calls him [[GenderBlenderName "Lucille"]] at one point, however. [[spoiler:It is eventually revealed it is in fact both; Lucille Lucifer Jr. DCLXVI, son of Satan.]]
298* MortalityEnsues: His superior, Asmodium, straight out tells him that if he helps Bean and Elfo escape Hell, he will be stripped of his immortality. [[spoiler:In the Part 2 finale, he reveals to Bean and Elfo that he's just as mortal as they are.]]
299* NobleDemon: Pretty much literally. He's a demon trying to act as a corruptive influence on Bean, says he wants to get rid of all the diseases plaguing mankind and replace them with worse ones, and presents himself as a CardCarryingVillain. But despite his claims, Luci's brand of "[[PokeThePoodle evil]]" usually boils down to {{troll}}ing people, he'll act selflessly on occasion (though he'll grumble about it), and he truly cares about Bean and Elfo as friends.
300* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Luci's overtly simplified, silhouette-style art design is a striking contrast to the rest of Groening's humanoid artwork. And that is not only because he is literally two dimensional. If anything, it more resembles [[ComicStrip/LifeInHell Akbar and Jeff]].
301* NoSell: He's totally immune to fire and can even light his tail like a match. Lava, however, seems to fatal, or would at least banish him back to Hell. [[spoiler:He loses this immunity in Part 2.]]
302* OffWithHisHead: He is decaptiated at the end of Part 3. In Part 4, his head and body are united, but his head remains prone to getting detached.
303* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Like other demons seen in the show, he's a short, black, one-eyed shadow creature from Hell.
304* PassThePopcorn: He brings a box of popcorn to the Dankmire Community Theatre, and in fact seems to be the only being who enjoys it. If anything, learning it's a play where the actors come into the audience and, in their own words, "annoy the audience", makes him all the more eager to see it.
305* PrehensileTail: Explicitly described as such, and he frequently uses it to abuse Elfo.
306* RememberedICouldFly: It's established that demons can fly, but when Luci, Bean and Elfo were falling to their deaths he acts like he can't. Possibly subverted, in that Bean specifically asked him if he could use ''magic'' for flight when he uses wings. Also, he probably couldn't carry a human like Bean and it's not like the fall would kill ''him''.
307** It's revealed in Part 2 that he's only a sub-demon and didn't earn his wings yet. He had to trick his boss to give him wings so he can help Bean and Elfo escape hell, and as punishment he's promptly stripped of his powers, including the wings.
308** Then, in Part 4, he permanently [[GrowingWings gains wings]] when the Trog use their sacred goo on him.
309* RunningGag:
310** Being mistaken for a cat by other people.
311** He appears to enjoy riding people around like a horse.
312** He's often kicked by pretty much all humans in the cast due to his size.
313* SmokingIsCool: He's often seen lighting a cigarette (or a joint), and he does look cool while doing it.
314* SoProudOfYou: Praises Bean for killing Hansel and Gretel, or as he puts it, "killing two mentally ill siblings".
315* SurprisinglyCreepyMoment: He tells Bean to look deep into his eye at one point. She sees a multitude of damned souls who form a laughing face.
316* TokenEvilTeammate: Out of the main trio of protagonists, he's the biggest jerkass among them.
317* TokenImmortal: The only member of the main cast stated to be immortal. [[spoiler: He loses it along with all of his other powers at the end of "Stairway to Hell".]]
318* ToxicFriendInfluence: His main joy in life is constantly convincing Bean to commit crimes and morally questionable actions.
319-->'''Luci:''' You know that little voice in your head that tells you not to do things? I'm the guy yelling over it. Yeah, I'm the guy who makes you do bad things.\
320'''Bean:''' So, you're like a terrible friend?\
321'''Luci:''' I never said I was your friend.
322* VillainProtagonist: Being a [[AlwaysChaoticEvil demon]] after all, he's quite a bad guy. Groening even compares him to [[{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}} Bender]]. That said though, he's still not nearly as evil as the series' genuine villains.
323* WhatIsThisFeeling: Luci experiences sadness [[FirstTimeFeeling for the first time]] [[spoiler:after the death of Elfo]].
324-->'''Luci:''' If this is sadness, I don't like it one bit.
325* WickedCultured: For an evil little bastard, he seems to come off as being rather well-spoken and intelligent.
