15!!Stephanie Kane
16[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pms-steph_5748.jpg]]
17'''Associated tropes:'''
18* ExpressiveAccessory: Her [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/treasure_it_always_-_guest_strip hairpin]] was a gift from [[Webcomic/EerieCuties Layla Delacroix]]. It reflects her thinking, at times [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/charlotte_and_the_3_goddesses "winking"]] as well.
19%%* {{Goth}}
20* {{Irony}}: In the possibly non-canon ''Vampire Cheerleaders In Space And Time'' [[spoiler: Steph not only becomes a cryptid herself she cheerfully embraces her new role producing scores of cryptid eggs as the new HiveQueen of the moth men.]]
21%%* {{Jerkass}}: She is always so quick to point out someones flaws.
22* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Very ''rarely'' comes up. But she does try to keep innocents out of the crossfire and looks out for her teammates if nothing else.
23* MercyKill: How She views slaying monsters that were born human.[[spoiler: She initially plans to do this with her sister, but is talked down by JC and Charlotte.]]
24* MsFanservice: She channels [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/where_fan_service_reigned_supreme Samus]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/emergency_order Aran]] in an effort to help break the hold the Webcomic/VampireCheerleaders have over Leonard. And she rubs her bosom in his face to [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/pew_pew weaken him further.]]
25* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Her hatred of cryptids has some unfortunate levels.
26* VanHelsingHateCrime: She who believes ''all'' cryptids are evil roughly stemming what happened to her parents. Things gets complicated when her sister is turned into a werewolf and the newest member of their team is revealed to be a Dhampyr.

28!!Katie Kane
29[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pms-katie_5729.jpg]]
30'''Associated tropes:'''
31%%* CuteMonsterGirl
32* EmergencyTransformation: Somewhat, she gets infected with lycanthropy but Charlotte manages to use a spell so she doesn't become a mindless creature.
33* IdiotHair: She has one sticking up in the back. Reflects her tendency to act without thinking.
34* TheLoad: Initially in the first chapter, as she didn't have as much combat experience as Steph or Charlotte and mostly just carried around equipment. Steph insisted on bringing her on the cryptid hunts anyway. The second big case of which she wound up wandering off and getting bitten by a werewolf. After she herself became a werewolf, she put her new monster strength to good use.
35* MsFanservice: She [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/try_even_harderer channels]] [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Slave Leia]] to aid the others after Lita [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/nerd_burlesque taunts]] her. JC does a Double FacePalm when he sees Katie. But it seems to have [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/aloha_oe worked]] as he "responds to her" doing a hula in that outfit more than the others.
36* NearRapeExperience: What Theodore tried to do to her [[spoiler:twice]], with his father's encouragement.
37* NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted. Katie seems to delight and using her teenaged PMS as an excuse to [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/fine_whatever_pout ignore diplomacy]] (and [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/one_blue_one_green propriety]]).
38** When Charlotte [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/heavy_flow_month opens her purse]] for smelling salts and out come lots of tampons, Katie snarks "Heavy flow month?" Stephanie tells her "It's the whole team's supply, you dingbat!" before giving her a fist upside the head.
39%%* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent

51%%* {{Dhampyr}}
52%%* TheOneGuy
53%%* RedEyesTakeWarning: Black eyes due to the B&W style of the comic but same thing.

63'''Associated tropes:'''
64%%* BigBad: of Volume Two
65%%* DefeatMeansFriendship: In her case its more like defeat means bonded
66* DemonicPossession: The body she has isn't her real one (in fact its the corpse of a recently deceased woman), her true form is a black mist.

80!!Marcy O'Keeffe
81[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pms-marcy_3508.jpg]]
82'''Associated tropes:'''
83* ArtificialLimbs: Marcy wears high-tech prosthetic legs. Steph speculates they have something to do with her pro-cryptid sympathies but J.C. can't confirm it
84* LawfulStupid: Is more concerned about an [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/it_makes_perfect_sense "innocent cryptid"]] than the thousands of people said cryptid's actions are going to put at risk.
85* ObstructiveBureaucrat: With some overlap of TooDumbToLive - seeing as she contacted offices in Washington to confirm that K'AAN'NGUA is protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Effectively making it impossible for the military to do anything to stop it. You know, despite the fact that it will probably kill everyone.
86* StraightGay: [[spoiler: [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/a_little_office_pool Was a surprise to them too but J.C. confirms it.]]]]

126!!General Briggs
127'''Associated tropes:'''
128* FourStarBadass: Apparently ready to lead an attack on K'aan'ngua from the front lines. His moment of glory gets stolen by O'Keefe when she gets the President to order him to retreat. [[spoiler: He gets even by having the PMS team cleared of their community service much to O'Keefe's chagrin.]]
129* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He is put in charge the incident in Volume 2 comes off sympathetic to the PMS crew, and most definately does not like O'Keefe's presence and interfeerence.
130%%* TheBrigadier: Fits to a tee.
