9	* ChildhoodFriends: A majority of the chosen protectors happen to be incredibly close to each other including with friendships, and continue to be close even during adulthood.
10	* TheChosenMany: Through the ages, countless people had been chosen by the cookbook to harness its magic and usually they're given to groups of two or three.
11	* CrazyPrepared: Despite no longer having access to the cookbook, several ex-protectors are shown to still have access to magic thanks to having their own supply of magic spices and either knowing how to make recipes by heart or having them written down separately.
12	* HeroOfAnotherStory: The various people who were protectors before Kelly, Hannah and Darbie have all had their own adventures as the saviors of magic. Sometimes former protectors would be mentioned and somehow tie into the storyline.
13	* KidHero: At least three times the book had chosen duos or trios to own the book while they're children or young teens.
14	* LegacyCharacter: The Cookbook has been around at least since the Middle Ages, and naturally ''dozens'', if not ''hundreds'' of protector generations had been around to use the cooking magic.
15	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Every generation of protectors has managed to create at least one custom recipe using their knowledge of magic that would stick around to influence a future generation in some way.
16	* SupremeChef: Nearly all of the Protectors are excellent cooks.

22	* AllThereInTheManual: Prime Video's trivia section reveals quite a bit of history about the cookbook not discussed in the actual show proper. For example:
23	** The owners of the book aren't limited to just Saffron Falls, it's been passed over all around the world. Including various owners between the OCs and the main girl trio other than the "Inbetweeners".
24	** The cookbook doesn't always end up in responsible hands, it just goes to owners who have a mystery to solve around them whether they're ready for it or not.
25	** "Bitter Truth Truffles" from "...Mom" and "...Betrayal" were created by the protectors who had the book right before the OCs, who created it so they could get their parents to them what they got for Christmas before the actual holiday.
26	** "Tele-Pâté" from "...Telepathy" was created in the late 1840s when the first telephone was invented.
27	** "Extract The Mac N' Cheese" from "...Contagion" was founded by a group of protectors in the early 1900s who wanted to know how traveling magicians were doing their tricks.
28	** "Preserve A Memory Fruit Preserves" from "...Beginnings" was first made in the 16th century by protectors in England.
29	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: If you place the different spice families through a spice detector spell, different colors will turn up depending on the type of spice being used:
30	** Pink -- Cedronian
31	** Red -- Werpoes
32	** Maroon -- Kalimba
33	** Salmon -- Gründe
34	** Auburn -- Taurian
35	** Brown -- Carnejian
36	** Gold -- Elysian
37	** Yellow -- Galifrazian
38	** (Lime) Green -- Lapsus
39	** Periwinkle -- Tengu
40	** Teal -- Merwaldian
41	** Blue -- Livonian
42	** Purple -- Night-blooming
43	** [[spoiler: Orange -- Morbium]]
44	* FunctionalMagic: The various types of magic spices are placed into their own families with different effects, purposes and ways to get broken.
45	** Carnejian is the emotional family
46	** Cedronian is the balance family. Whoever added adds the magic spice will have a pay price that contrasts the main spell.
47	** Elysian is the truth family
48	** Galifrazian is the skill family
49	** Gründe is the vision family
50	** Kalimba is the element family. It usually involves earth, wind or fire.
51	** Lapsus is the mobility family
52	** Livonian is the mind/intellect family
53	** Merwaldian is the unpredictability/opposite family. Spells with one of these spices need to be countered with spell using an opposing Merwaldian spice.
54	** Morbium is an amplifier
55	** Night-blooming is the attraction/repulsion family. The user needs to complete a task depending the spell in order for the spell the break. Though some of those recipes tend to bend the rules a bit. The BFF PBJ for example -- which used a night-blooming spice -- ''doesn't'' break after a task is completed. [[NotHyperbole It takes the "forever" part in BFF literally.]]
56	** Taurian is the time family. The spells will wear off on their own after a certain amount of time depending on the how much of the spice is added.
57	** Tengu is the space family.
58	** Werpos is the body family
59	** [[spoiler: Parquinnien is the bonding/friendship family, founded by Kelly, Hannah and Darbie and used their combined surnames.]]
60	** There are also a couple of additional families with unknown purposes and effects such as Atlantian and Nakian.
61	%% Infinite:
62	* ItCanThink: The cookbook itself shows signs of sentience, apart from choosing its protectors and taken as a given that it can leave once it decides to, its shown that it can fight back if someone tries to destroy it, write down recipes as the girls make them (and even write the riddles), and take the girl's requests into account, from automatically flipping to a specific recipe fitting the girl's situation to changing their recipe's name to a more appropriate one.
63	* MundaneMadeAwesome: It's cooking that allows the cook to use several advantages and powers. This is only natural.
64	* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Season 2A reveals the only the current protectors of the cookbook are capable of cooking the recipes within it, with anyone else trying being prevented. [[note]] When Mama P tried to look in the cookbook, it reverted back into a blank cookbook within a second of opening, and then the girls tried to cook a counter spell using Chuck's Cookbook, it prevented the ingredients from cooking in the oven due to them not being the protectors of said cookbook.[[/note]]. Though this ends up being played inconsistently, with the most egregious being [[LaterInstallmentWeirdness RJ in Season 3A being able to cook using it, despite also being an ex-protector who stole it from the girls.]]
65	* PlotTriggeringBook: Any group of people who has the cookbook appear or them or is provided it, will wind up becoming its protectors, regardless of whether said people want to or not. Whenever it appears to a set of people, it's typically because there's a mystery to solve within their area.
66	* RiddleForTheAges: So far, it's currently unknown just how old the cookbook is or who the author is or even ''if'' there's an author. Although, it's known the book's been around since at least the middle ages, the exact year is not specifized.

69	!!Specific Protector Groups
70	* [[Characters/JustAddMagicTheGirls The Girls]] (2014-2019)
71	* [[Characters/JustAddMagicTheOCs The OCs]] '''(Unmarked spoilers for Season 1)''' (1965-1975)

73	!!Main Protectors (Seasons 3B-present) (2019-2020)
74	[[folder: In General]]
75	* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter:
76	** Unlike the previous trio of protectors, this trio is composed of various different raced-teenagers as mentioned in TokenTrio.
77	** While Kelly, Hannah and Darbie of the original series, were childhood friends, great chefs even prior to being chosen, and knew each other long before the series began, Zoe, Ish and Leo were not exactly what you'd call "friends" and had never even met prior to cookbook choosing them. Additionally, their first spell as protectors went off to a rocky start as they didn't work very well together, and messed it up.
78	* KidHero: Just like the previous trio of protectors, they're the protectors of magic... and also teenagers.
79	* TokenTrio: In stark contrast to the previous protector trio who were all white, this trio is racially diverse. Zoe is Jewish, Leo is Caucasian and Ish is Indian.

91	[[folder: In General]]
92	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/inbetweeners.png]]
93	[[caption-width-right:350:The trio as teenagers]]
94	* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: A played with example considering one of the members is a male, but otherwise RJ would be the Brawn of the group, and Caroline would be the Brains, which leaves Noelle as the Beauty.
95	* LaboriousLaziness: For a trio that supposedly hates hard work, the cooking and recipes they would occasionally do require precise measurement, patience, and careful thinking. Clearly these three are capable of hard work, but just aren't willing to do it for their school work.
96	* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: While all three of them are equally willing to cause mayhem, and slack off with magic, the two women of the trio, Noelle and Caroline, are far more cunning, skilled and ruthless than RJ is. Plus RJ's not such a great cook, while the other two are excellent cooks.
97	* ThePoorlyChosenOne: Kelly, Hannah, Darbie are rightfully confused as to why the cookbook would go to these three slackers who care more about their own self-interests than solving the mysteries.
98	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: They would constantly use the cookbook's magic to break various school rules, cheat on tests, pull various harsh pranks on people, and various other dirty deeds.
99	* TeensAreMonsters: During their high school years, the three of them would go around the school playing nasty pranks on others. RJ's also notable for creating the "Itchy Ice Cream" recipe just to get revenge on one of his teachers.

102	!!Caroline Palmer
103	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/caroline_palmer.png]]

105	[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:[[spoiler:Click here to see her disguise]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jill1.png]]]][[/labelnote]]
106	* AntiVillain: Despite being a bad guy, her motives are incredibly sympathetic and semi-relatable.
107	* ArcVillain: She serves as the mysterious main villain of Season 2B.
108	* TheDogWasTheMastermind: [[spoiler: So who was Caroline masquerading as to get close to her targets and erase magic? Mrs. Quinn's mayor campaign manager Jill who was very seldom seen in season 2B.]]
109	* TheFaceless: Her being the mastermind behind the cookers losing the knowledge of magic is unknown until the season 2B finale.
110	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Not that she was ever really a nobody with her being a protector, but she used to be the leader of a petty prankster trio that didn't like hard work. Then after disappearing for 20 years and posing as "Jill", she slowly evolved into the natural enemy of all things magic as they know it, and nobody forgot about her since.
111	* FreudianExcuse: The main reason she's wiping everyone's memories of magic, and eliminating a lot of magic-related artifacts is because she personally had a bad experience with magic as a teenager, as a time-travelling recipe/spell gone wrong caused her to miss out on a ballet performance and was left unable to attend tryouts.
112	* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: ...however, the issue is primarily her own fault as she stubbornly chose to alter the recipe to go forward rather than back, despite Arthur warning her it was too risky and unsafe. And her wiping magic and everyone's memories is basically her way of blaming the magic for her problems, and taking out her misery on everyone else, instead of owning up to her mistake and admitting she was at fault for her mishap. The present-day girl trio even calls her out on this.
113	* HiddenDepths: She's shown to have an interest in being a ballet dancer, and even wanted to potentially audition for the role. It got to the point where she tried to alter the Pick-A-Date Date recipe just to see if she made the cut, and she very depressed upon realized she didn't.
114	* TheIrredeemableException: She's the only main antagonist of a season/StoryArc who never truly redeems themself (In contrast to Mama P, Chuck Hankins, The Night Bandit, and even Pierce Hamilton from the spin-off series). She simply uses her recipe on herself to make her forget about the magic after thinking she had wiped the girls' magic-related memories, which isn't the same as changing her ways for the better.
115	* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: As far as we know, Caroline never got any comeuppance for nearby eradicating magic. And she was never seen in any of the following seasons.]]
116	* MasterOfDisguise: She used a recipe to pose as Terri Quinn's campaign manager and barely even resembled Caroline.
117	* NearVillainVictory: She comes within a ''hare's breath'' of erasing magic from existence and everyone's memories of them, including the three lead girls.
118	* NeverMyFault: Why does Caroline hate magic so much, and see it as a burden? She once tried to alter a time-travel recipe to go forward rather than back, despite being warned by Arthur that it was too risky and unsafe, just to see if she made the ballet audition, and when she didn't, she tried to go back to the past only to be unable too. Caroline has only herself and her stubbornness to blame for that incident, and yet she blamed it on the magic, claiming it ruins lives.
119	* ObliviouslyEvil: She thinks she's doing the world a favor by eradicating all sources of magic and wiping it from everybody's memories, and in some cases, she's not too far off.
120	* VillainHasAPoint: She has a rather valid reason to assume magic was a burden on everyone and only brought trouble. Also, there's the fact that magic had broken the OCs up back when they were protectors. Once their magic memories were gone, they were back to being the best of friends, as if nothing had happened. What about the incident with Charles and Rose where Charles tried to become immortal using magic, only for the spell to backfire and imprison Rose in the cookbook for a century and a half?
121	* WalkingSpoiler: Was there ever any doubt?
122	* WellIntentionedExtremist: She's a former protector who believes that magic is dangerous to those who use it and needs to be destroyed for the good of everyone.
123	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: More like "Destroyer of Innocence", but she's still an excellent example of this trope.

126	[[folder: RJ White]]
127	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rj.PNG]]
128	[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see him as a teenager]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/youngrj.png]][[/labelnote]]
129	* AlasPoorVillain: A non-fatal example as he simply loses his memories of magic. While, it's true that he misused the cookbook's magic for personal gain (i.e.: winning the lottery and the Trifecta), he wasn't actually all that malicious, and simply wanted to make his own life more convenient and seemed to have some rough times. Plus, he even tries to warn the main girl trio that they were all in danger, clearly in a panicked state, only to lose his memories and knowledge of magic mid-sentence. This is actually portrayed in a sympathetic manner, to the point where the girls actually showed some pity for him.
130	* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Scott Quinn goes to RJ after the latter claims to know how the former's mother Becky got "sick". RJ tells Mr. Quinn that his mother was probably under a magic spell, leading Scott to brush him off as "a crackpot"... However, Kelly and her grandma Becky -- and by extension the audience -- knows that magic is indeed real, and that Becky ''was'' under a magic spell that left her "sick".
131	* DualityMotif: He's got two different colored eyes, and he just happens to be a self-centered and petty protector.
132	* EarlyBirdCameo: He makes a brief appearance in "Just Add Secrets" as the man who Mr. Quinn goes to try discovering the source of his mother's "illness", [[CassandraTruth although Mr. Quinn doesn't believe him when he claims Becky was under a spell.]] He then makes another cameo in the last episode of Season 2A ("Just Add Rose") spying on both of the main female trios.
133	* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Upon realizing someone was after the magic, he immediately tries to warn the girls that they were all in danger. Had he not gotten his memories of magic wiped, he likely would have considered redeeming himself and aiding the heroes in stopping the threat.
134	* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: It's hard not a feel at least a little bad for him when he winds up losing his memories of magic mid-sentence, especially considering he's the ''least'' malicious member of the Inbetweeners.
135	* LethalChef: He's shown to be an terrible cook during a montage of him creating a muffin. Getting some shells in the bowl when cracking some eggs (and having to take them out with him hands), rapidly dumping the cake mix into the bowl, not properly measuring the olive oil or the water (which he ''drank'' out of), and using a ''large spoon'' to mix everything up, and pour the mix in the cupcake wrappers. Considering there's magic involved in the recipes, this can be extremely dangerous, and make the spell act differently than it should.
136	* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Compared to both of his former partners, Noelle (who loved taking shortcuts, would grow to own a successful restaurant by essentially brainwashing everyone into loving her food, and isn't afraid to use threats and blackmail) and Caroline (who was the leader of the trio who blamed magic for ruining her life, and tried to destroy any and all sources of it, and wipe people's memories of magic, including people who weren't even in her life), RJ was simply a prankster who used the book to become popular in school, and as a adult, used the book to commit actions that don't place a lot innocent people at risk or in danger, in contrast to his partners, though he's still not necessarily a good person.
137	* ManChild: Let's see. He's a grown man, he stole the cookbook back just he could make his ex-girlfriend's fiancee unlikable and he and his girlfriend could reunite, constantly uses the power for self-centered pitiful reasons, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and eats chicken fingers off the kids' menu]]. Even Hannah calls RJ a man-child.
138	* TheOneGuy: He's the only member of the In-betweeners to be male.
139	* ThePrankster: He's been described as the prankster of the trio.
140	* RedHerring: In the first three episodes of season 2B, we're led to believe that RJ would be the main ArcVillain, but near the end of third episode someone comes after him, and he tries to warn the main girl trio about how they were all in danger, only to lose his memories of magic mid-sentence.

146
147	* BitchInSheepsClothing: To the public, Noelle is a friendly, polite, diligent, well-mannered woman who loves cooking and making people happy. In reality, she's a shallow, jealous, rude, lazy woman who cheats to get things, like adding magical spices to her food to make it taste better than it actually is. In high school, she was notably the meanest and most vain of the trio, who cheated on her schoolwork even ''before'' magic came involved.
148	* BrilliantButLazy: She clearly has skills of her own as a cook, considering her era as a protector, and yet she prefers to not put in the necessary effort, and simply use magic on her mediocre food.
149	* ChekhovsGunman: Gun''woman'', actually. She's introduced in Season 2A's "Just Add Saphron" as a seemingly unimportant character, who just happened to own a popular restaurant across from Mama P's, but then Season 2B reveals she's actually a former protector who's restaurant was popular because her meals always had rosemary popovers that would magically enhance her food.
150	* FauxAffablyEvil: Don't let her charisma and calm Zen-like demeanor and voice deceive you: She's actually a skilled magic user, who will stop at nothing to get want she wants and isn't afraid to use threats, play mind games or even resort to blackmail.
151	* FromNobodyToNightmare: It's tough to believe that the owner of one of the most popular restuarants in Saffron Falls and a powerful magic user, started off stuck at a worthless job as a fry cook in a diner, ''and'' got fired from her job.
152	* HiddenDepths: Noelle's apparently a fan of ''Series/{{Friends}}''.
153	* RedHerring: We're led to believe that she would be the main ArcVillain due to her high position of authority and being more actively malicious than RJ, but she too loses her memories of magic to the real culprit.
154	* SoftSpokenSadist: She always speaks in a calm, gentle Zen-like voice -- like in public -- even after she reveals true her nature, and is making threats to her foes.
155	* TwoFirstNames: "Jasper" is a far more common first name than "Noelle".

161	* EarlyBirdCameo: He first shows up in the GrandFinale of the original series as an unknown man with the arms of the mysterious pocket watch. He'd then play a larger role in the spin-off series.
162	* LukeIAmYourFather: She turns out to be Zoe's late father, who went to the future to start a family with Erin Chua even though [[HeroicSacrifice he knew he would lose 3 days of his life for each day he stayed in the future, and eventually die.]]
163	* PosthumousCharacter: He's dead before the events of ''Mystery City''.
164	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Without him traveling to the future, he never would have met Erin and Zoe never would have been born.
165	* TokenGoodTeammate: He's revealed to be this in the original trio among the greedy Wessons, when he finds out about the gold-attracting sourdough recipe and hides it in the future when it caused trouble.

173	* SmallRoleBigImpact: After Chuck accidentally got his sister trapped in the cookbook and went through hell and back to recuse her, the protectors from that point on would be comprised of trios to avoid a similar fate in the future. In other words, you can thank Chuck and Rose for all the protector trios that came after them. This includes Becky, Ida and Gina, ''and'' Kelly, Hannah and Darbie.

181
182	* AffablyEvil: When nobody's trying to interfere with his plans, he's an absolute gentleman and not such a bad person. Even when he is being nasty, he's a man of his word and a fair opponent.
183	* AntiVillain: Read some of the various tropes to get the point.
184	* ArcVillain: He's the main antagonist of Season 2A -- the first half of season 2.
185	* BigBrotherInstinct: [[spoiler: Well, considering he immediately tried to help his sister out of the cookbook and showed deep regret and concern, he definitely cares about her safety.]]
186	* BigEater: He once went to a restaurant with Mama P (while in Jake's body) as part of her plan to stall him and Chuck manages to go through three separate meal plates. Even he admits he was stuffed afterwards.
187	* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Mama P/Ida Perez vs Chuck Hankins/[[spoiler: Charles Peizer]].
188	** First off, there's the fact that Mama P is in her 60s and Chuck is a teenager. [[spoiler: Actually he's at least a century and a half old thanks to an immortality spell.]]
189	** [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Mama P is well-known and beloved by the people of Saffron Falls]], [[TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse whereas Chuck blends right into the crowd.]]
190	** As a protector, Ida was known for being occasionally two-faced and ruthless. Meanwhile, Chuck had shown nothing but love, passion, and respect for his partner [[spoiler:who's also his sister]].
191	** After her father lost her job and was unable to find another, Ida's family had been left poor. Chuck, on the other hand, grew up in a rich, wealthy family that co-founded the city.
192	** Mama P was most known for using magic to get what she wanted, but Chuck -- while also being incredibly skilled at magic -- isn't afraid to use other methods, such as scaring Ida by getting her father fired from his job, and nearly to the same to Kelly and her father.
193	* CrazyPrepared: Considering, he's had [[spoiler: over a century]] of practice and experience, it makes sense that Chuck prepares himself for just about any possible outcome. And even when those outcomes somehow fail, he can just as easily come up with a new plan.
194	* {{Determinator}}: Oh boy, he's this if there ever was one. [[spoiler: Chuck's been under the immortality spell since 1868 and tried rescuing his sister for ''at least'' a full century. Chuck will stop at nothing -- and we mean ''nothing'' -- to bring back her sister from her cookbook prison.]]
195	* EarlyBirdCameo: Chuck Hankins appeared in a photo in the first few episodes, who will later become the focus of Season 2 Part 1.
196	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Chuck Hankins was terrorizing the heroes for spices because he loved his younger sister, Rose Piezer, and didn't like showing his sensitive and caring side. Gina Silvers was right, there was good in Chuck.
197	* FeetFirstIntroduction: The first time the audience sees him in the present day, his feet are seen as a subtle way to establish how important he'll be.
198	* FreeRangeChildren: Chuck was stated to have no parental figures or adult supervision during the 1960s and even in the present day, he's pretty much free to roam wherever he wanted. [[spoiler: Although in this case it's justified considering he was under an immortality spell and his parents and family were long gone.]]
199	* GreaterScopeVillain: Before the events of the series, he had tried to swap out his sister Rose for one of the OCs (Becky, Ida and Gina), which in turn caused them to get worried about his vast knowledge and capabilities and they tried to erase his magic-related memories, but accidentally made him disappear instead. This would then cause the girl trio to get torn apart and slowly part from each other, which would affect them for a long time, all the way up to the events of the series.
200	** There's also the fact the Chuck stole Ida's morbium seed and got her father fired from his job, which tore Ida's family apart. This would turn Ida into a pessimist towards magic and eventually lead to Ida and Gina cursing each other, and Becky using her morbium to end their protector era and cursing herself in the process. Therefore, Chuck's indirectly responsible for Becky, Ida, and Gina's curses throughout Season 1.
201	* HeelFaceTurn: After he gets he sister back, he reforms himself and returns to his past time. Plus he would occasionally reappear as a companion to the protectors.
202	* HiddenAgendaVillain: For the majority of his half-season long arc, the heroes (and by extension the audience) knew that Chuck was a charismatic liar who wasn't afraid to interfere with their personal lives or go for drastic measures to have access to the cookbook and its recipes. Although, nobody actually knew just what Chuck ''wanted'' with the cookbook, not that anyone bothered to ask. [[spoiler: [[WellIntentionedExtremist Near of end of his storyline, it turns out Chuck was just trying to rescue his younger sister from the Cookbook after an accident with a spell he did in the distant past.]]]]
203	* IdentityAmnesia: After the Traveler ends up wiping his memory, he completely forgets his identity, living place, and even his ''name''.
204	* ImmortalitySeeker: He wanted to keep the book forever and created a recipe to allow him and his sister to live forever, unfortunately for the sister, things turned out differently than expected to say the least.
205	* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Season 1 ends with Chuck's long curse being broken and him reappearing from thin air walking off of a ferris wheel into a crowd... And he goes on to become a major force in Season 2.
206	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He says the second half word-for-word when he first realizes what he had indirectly done to Rose as he never intended to it to happen and just wanted the power.
207	** He shows this feeling again in the present day when he suddenly regains his conscience after a glance into his past and has to relive his painful past, and comes to realize just how much trouble and mischief he had caused since then.
208	* MyGreatestFailure: Chuck never forgave himself for what had happened to his sister, and knowing it was partially his fault.
209	* PoorCommunicationKills: When you stop to think about Chuck's overall goal/endgame that's left a mystery for nearly his entire story arc and isn't revealed until near the very end his story, Chuck's plan to rescue his long-lost sister from the cookbook would probably make him the hero/AntiHero of his own storyline. The main reason he ends up playing an antagonistic role against the girls and the OCs, is because everyone sees him as this dangerous, powerful foe... and ''that's'' because he never tries to explain his intentions to the protectors. Anytime he encounters the protectors, he always speaks in vague, ominous terms, such as "You haven't figured that out yet?"; "This all started long before you"; "What I want is far bigger than any of you. You're simply in my way" and "You're never gonna stop me from getting what I want". He never tries to explain to the protectors just ''what'' he wants, he just stole spices from the protectors, manipulates them and curses them. All Chuck had to do was gain everyone's trust, explain his dilemma with his lost sister and ask the other protectors if they could help save her. If Chuck did that, his storyline would be a ''lot'' shorter.
210	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: On the outside, he looks like a 14-year-old teenager, but in reality, he's over a century and a half old due to the immortality spell he had done on himself.
211	* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: No one would ever suspect someone with such a normal appearance to actually be a time-traveling magic chef from the 1860s.
212	* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about him without some of his backstory and motives.
213	* WellIntentionedExtremist: He doesn't mean to cause anyone any harm.
214	* WouldHarmASenior: He has no problem placing three elderly protectors -- who were close friends of his no less -- into a year-long slumber just so he could threaten them and take back his stuff.
215	* XanatosSpeedChess: Chuck is a master of improvisation when his plans don't work out. Oh, the cookbook won't let you touch the book for something you had done in the past? That's okay, just take some tree bark and create your own magic-stealing book. Someone stole your book even with all the magic security systems you put in place? Trap the thief in a MortonsFork and force them to return it. Locked out of the city ''all together''? Still, no problem! Just trick one of your opponent's friends to enter the city you're trapped in, do a possession spell on them, use them to return to the city you're being kept out of, and pose as him so you can access the enemy, the cookbook, and the spice pantry no problem! [[WorthyOpponent Even Darbie even lampshades how clever this one was.]]

220	* AndIMustScream: Being trapped within a magical book for a full century without any means of escape or anything to do can be extremely terrifying.
221	* DamselInDistress: Was there ever any doubt?
222	* GoneHorriblyRight: Oh, Rose became immortal all right. Unfortunately, while Chuck got to live the life and make good use of his eternal life, Rose on the other hand became a different kind of immortal, as in becoming a permanent sketch in the magic cookbook. Chuck immediately regrets this happening.
223	* LongLostRelative: As Chuck's seldom seen little sister who was unlucky enough to get imprisoned within the book for over a century and a half, she definitely fits this trope.
224	* MoralityChain: Chuck/Charles' genuine love and care for Rose is the main reason he bothered going through all of that effort to bring her back, as well as the key factor in preventing him from becoming a monster. Upon being forced to look back into memories of him and Rose having good times together, it makes Charles tear up and holds him back from sacrificing Hannah just to bring Rose back. And upon Rose being released, Charles instantly reforms himself and tries make amends for everything he had done.
225	* NiceGirl: She's stated to have been a friendly, respectful woman in the new timeline where she was never imprisoned in the cookbook and properly lived her life as she was stated to have "added a little magic to all who knew her" and had contributed greatly to Saffron Falls' community and improved the town. In fact, she even got her own park named after her in her honor after she passed away, [[LovedByAll which just goes to show just how beloved she was by the people of Saffron Falls]].
226	* SmallRoleBigImpact: She's barely physically seen on the show, but her disappearance is the reason behind everything Chuck had done. Also, you can thank her for the protector trios that follow her, including both of the main female trios, so yeah.
227	* WalkingSpoiler: She's impossible to talk about with revealing her relation with Chuck and his motivation. She's Chuck's missing sister who ended up stuck in the Cookbook and the first half of Season 2 was spent trying to rescue her.
