| 15 | |
| 16 | A former history professor at Oxford University prior to the American Revolution, Ichabod Crane came to America with the British before switching sides and becoming a spy for the Patriots. Having beheaded the Horseman during a Battle in 1781, he was brought back to life along with the Horseman due to their blood mixing when they both died. Despite his skeptical knowledge of the supernatural in life, he has been an invaluable resource following his resurrection due to his detailed knowledge of supernatural traditions. |
| 17 | ---- |
| 18 | * TheAce: He's easily this among the heroes, being the best in literately everything, be it fighting, being smart, analyzing and searching for information. |
| 19 | * ActionDad: Is both a father (granted, one in complicated circumstances) and a brilliant fighter. |
| 20 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: The Ichabod Crane from the original short story is a spindly, lanky, nebbish type, with big ears and a long pointed nose, although [[KavorkaMan still suave and charming enough to be considered attractive]]. This Crane is played by that guy to the right. |
| 21 | * AdaptationalBadass: To go with his handsome new looks, this Ichabod has gone from a superstitious coward to a centuries-old badass. Even his credentials have been bumped up a bit; from simple country schoolteacher to an Oxford professor of history. |
| 22 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In ''Literature/TheLegendOfSleepyHollow'', Ichabod is portrayed as a selfish GoldDigger who wanted to get the daughter and land of a wealthy farmer. This version is far more honorable and selfless and a devoted soldier of justice to the go. |
| 23 | * AdaptationalNationality: In the original short story, he was American but this version has him being an English defector. |
| 24 | * AgentMulder: It helps that, skeptic though he was in his own day, he has...well, let's just say he's seen and been through a lot. |
| 25 | * AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: His outfits definitely qualify. Justified as he’s shown to have an aversion to modern day clothing. |
| 26 | * BadassBookworm: Ichabod was a history professor before he was conscripted. |
| 27 | * BadassLongcoat: Rarely seen without it as he always wears something evocative from his era. |
| 28 | * BadassTeacher: Both his original pre-war occupation and his modern-era cover story. |
| 29 | * BeenThereShapedHistory: Name an American historical figure or event; chances are that Crane has met them or influenced their outcome in some way. |
| 30 | * BerserkButton: Modern history's version of the Revolutionary War era, taxes on food, and having to buy water. |
| 31 | * BigBrotherInstinct: He starts looking out for Joe Corbin over the course of Season 3, to the point of giving him relationship advice. |
| 32 | * BlueBlood: He was part of the English nobility. Didn't really like it, though, and he doesn't miss the fox-hunting. |
| 33 | * BornInTheWrongCentury: Ichabod is uncommonly open-minded and progressive for someone who was born in the 18th century, which is a very good thing when he wakes up in the 21st century and has to work with a black female police officer. He still has trouble adjusting, but he does fairly well for a man who slept through just about every civil rights movement. He was also friends with Native Americans. |
| 34 | * BrokenPedestal: PlayedForLaughs with Ichabod and UsefulNotes/ThomasJefferson, after the former finds out that the latter not only fathered six children by one of his slaves, but also took a quote of Ichabod's and claimed it as his own. Ichabod initially tries to discount the former as "prurient gossip" until Irving gives him a [=CliffsNotes=] on DNA and how it proves Sally Hemmings' children were indeed Jefferson's. |
| 35 | * BuriedAlive: At the end of Season 1. For extra irony, it's his son's former grave. |
| 36 | * TheChosenOne: Ichabod and Abbie are the two Witnesses foretold in the [[Literature/TheBible Book of Revelation]]. After Abbie's death at the end of Season 3, the title falls to Ichabod and Molly. |
| 37 | * CulturedBadass: Being an 18th-century gentleman, Ichabod has a thing for correct manners as well as works of Latin and Greek; knows Shakespeare's plays well enough to place a quote to its act and scene, and has read Chaucer's ''Literature/TheCanterburyTales'' in the original Middle English. Also, he's perhaps the best human fighter who can take on and even defeat supernatural creatures. |
| 38 | * CluelessChickMagnet: Handsome, British, moral, intelligent, respectful; in short, a perfect gentleman. Crane has managed to attract the attention of many ladies, both in the present and the past, and has no idea how in either. |
| 39 | -->'''Abbie:''' She dumped her fiancé for you. Wow. You got some game. |
| 40 | -->'''Ichabod:''' I neither wanted nor did I invite "game." |
| 41 | * TheComicallySerious: Ichabod is extremely poised despite the modern world's attempt to fluster him. |
| 42 | * DeadpanSnarker: Can be just as snarky as Abbie. Let's just say: |
| 43 | -->'''Ichabod''': Yours isn't the first generation to invent sarcasm. |
| 44 | * DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: He makes one to get a piece of the Philosopher’s stone in order to strip Dreyfuss of his immortality, at the cost of his soul being forfeited to the devil when he dies. He is optimistic that he can find his way out of it.]] |
| 45 | * DefectorFromDecadence: In this interpretation, Ichabod started out as a British soldier before coming to agree with the American revolutionaries and switching sides. |
| 46 | * DisappearedDad: His son, Jeremy, was born after his battle with the horseman and, until "Sanctuary," he didn't even know that he had one. |
| 47 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: By Season 2, he has some impressive driving skills, the kind that are more suited to a combat situation than peak-hour traffic. |
| 48 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: Although he has adapted to a surprising degree. He still doesn't understand or anticipate everything, but he's not floundering and freaking out. |
| 49 | * TheFutureIsShocking: {{Averted|Trope}}, largely. He takes his time displacement in stride and is more bemused rather than overwhelmed by the changes in American society and technology. However, the plastic packaging on his newly-purchased razor quickly frustrates him, and he is unnerved by computers and the Internet. In fact, what upsets him isn't the things that are entirely strange, but the familiar things that are ''slightly'' different, like the fact that you have to pay for water, ten-percent taxes on baked goods, and prices in general. |
| 50 | * GentlemanAndAScholar: Ichabod was originally a professor before he became a soldier, and retains his high intelligence. He's also a perfect 18th-century gentleman. |
| 51 | * GentlemanSnarker: See above. Even when dishing out some dry sarcasm, he still maintains his chivalrous and noble composure. |
| 52 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: Ichabod is at least a foot taller than Abbie. |
| 53 | * HeroesPreferSwords: He is exceptionally skilled in literately all forms of combat, be it hand-to-hand, marksmanship, or even using unique weapons, but his greatest specialization appears to be swordsmanship. While he doesn't normally carry or truly own one (he has access to several, but none of them are his), his first choice of a weapon if available would be a sword. |
| 54 | * HeroicBSOD: Has a noticeable one when he finds out that [[BigBadFriend Abraham is the Horseman of Death]]. Same thing happens when he finds out his son is dead (or so he thinks...). |
| 55 | * IconicOutfit: It's impossible to imagine him without the BadassLongcoat. |
| 56 | * IHaveNoIdeaWhatImDoing: Abbie lets Ichabod use a computer: |
| 57 | -->'''Ichabod:''' Lieutenant, I may have done something catastrophic. |
| 58 | * LargeHam: Occasionally, he's not above big speeches generally referencing the past, often his response when he meets something modern he feels is wrong. Abbie comes to expect it as the seasons go on. |
| 59 | * LimitedWardrobe: He's always wearing the same clothes he was buried in. In the fifth episode, he asks Abbie if he looks out-of-place in this century; while reassuring him he looks fine, Abbie does say that a change of clothes wouldn't hurt. Two words: skinny jeans. Ichabod is visibly uncomfortable with them and ends up in a similar outfit to his initial one, but keeps his coat. Upon discovering colonial-era historical re-enactors, he purchases several replica costumes to wear as day clothes. |
| 60 | * MrFanservice: Because there is a perfectly good reason to see Ichabod wet and wearing just a towel. And that reason is Tom Mison's body. |
| 61 | * MyGreatestFailure: Ichabod defected from the British after failing to save Arthur Bernard, the man who showed him the truth about the SecretWar, and he's carried that guilt ever since; in fact, that's what Death's been using to keep the two of them linked. In "The Sin Eater," Henry channels Bernard's spirit to help Ichabod let go of his guilt, severing the link. |
| 62 | * OfficerAndAGentleman: An army captain who’s father was a nobleman |
| 63 | * {{Omniglot}}: He speaks several languages, including Greek and Middle English, due to having PhotographicMemory. |
| 64 | * PapaWolf: In "Sanctuary," when he learns Katrina gave birth to his son, he makes Moloch's minion regret ''ever'' screwing with them. |
| 65 | -->'''Ichabod''': Give Moloch my regards. |
| 66 | * PhotographicMemory: Although being a physician and a gentleman, learning multiple ancient languages would have been par for the course. The memory just helps explain why he remembers all the myriad tiny details of the mystic stuff happening during the Revolution that are still quite relevant today and why he can draw a map from memory to the exact detail. |
| 67 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He gives a truly awesome one to Henry in "Awakening," outright calling him "an angry, unruly child." |
| 68 | * SealedGoodInACan: Basically what happened to Ichabod in the past; his blood mixed with the Horseman's when he cut off his head, linking them, so Katrina had to put Ichabod into a sort of stasis to keep the Horseman sealed in its own can. However, the Horseman's awakening caused Ichabod to awaken as well. |
| 69 | * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: To Abbie's frequent frustration. |
| 70 | -->'''Abbie''': I don't have any idea what that means. Just say "yes!" |
| 71 | * SesquipedalianSmith: Compared to his first name, ''Crane'' is fairly common. |
| 72 | * SherlockScan: This is a talent of Ichabod's. In "The Sin Eater," from a quick study, he is able to determine the surname of his captor, his lineage, his occupation, and that he is a Freemason. |
| 73 | * TheSnarkKnight: For a guy with a vocabulary two centuries out of date, he can handle himself quite well. |
| 74 | * SupernaturallyYoungParent: His son, Jeremy/Henry, is physically an old man while Ichabod himself still appears young. |
| 75 | * [[TallDarkAndHandsome Tall, Dark, and British]]: Described as such by Jenny. |
| 76 | * TallDarkAndSnarky: Most of Ichabod's snark is aimed at modern inventions and ways. |
| 77 | -->'''Ichabod''': (''to Abbie'') The extent of which your generation has defiled this earth is truly mind-boggling. |
| 78 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: By season 3, donuts have become his favorite food, and among all varieties, maple bacon donuts are his absolute favorites. |
| 79 | * {{Troll}}: The opening to 2x04. Crane spends a few minutes acting terrified to drive...then he pulls some expert-level rally-driver stunts, freaking Abbie right the hell out. |
| 80 | * UnwittingPawn: He played right into Henry's hands most of all. |
| 81 | * WeakButSkilled: While he is very obviously not superhuman and thus physically inferior to that of the supernatural creatures he hunts, Ichabod can be considered to have reached the peak of human physical conditioning and is also an exceptionally skilled warrior, which makes him able to handle himself. Case to point, he defeated the Horsemen of Death when he was weakened due to being superior in terms of skill and even when Death was at full power, he still puts up quite a valiant fight and manages to outskill him for a decent period of time. He was outmatched by the Pied Piper due to his speed and superior weapon, but managed to cut off his arm and temporarily gain the upper hand due to again having more skill. |
| 82 | * WorfHadTheFlu: His first two losses against Abraham is this: In the first occasion, he had absolutely no intention at all to hurt his friend while Abraham was more than willing to duel him and it's heavily indicated he let Abraham win in the end. In their second duel, Ichabod was reeling from all the buildup to the horrifying truth that Abraham is Death, preventing him from using the full extent of his skills. As displayed in their third duel, Ichabod is more than a match for a weakened Abraham even when he was using his axe. |
| 83 | * WorldsStrongestMan: Among human standards in the series, Ichabod is this along with being WorldsBestWarrior. Already Washington's greatest soldier three centuries ago, in the current modern era, rather than lagging behind the times, Ichabod's skills only kept growing. In a world where many BadassNormal end up getting beaten or killed/incapacitated numerous times, Ichabod has been able to handle himself pretty well and tends to perform feats that would outclass his fellow supernatural-fighting heroes by a rather wide margin. He's survived some of the most grievous of injuries that would have easily killed other human and at some cases is even able to still remain fighting, and has displayed he can take out scores of enemies at once with ease, including supernatural creatures, and the few times he has been beaten in a straight fight are against some of the most hardcore supernatural beings and even then he tends to give quite the fight. |

| 92 | |
| 93 | -->''"I have more than faith. I'm a mental patient with a gun."'' |
| 94 | |
| 95 | Abbie's younger sister who was confined in a mental institution. They both witnessed the rise of the Second Horseman when they were children. She briefly broke out of the institution, but has since returned after Abbie assured Jenny that she accepted what they had seen and would work to get her released legally. She eventually told Abbie that she was once possessed by a demon that told her to kill her sister and that she would purposely get herself arrested to protect her. She later takes part in helping to solve the mysteries surrounding the Horseman. |
| 96 | ---- |
| 97 | * ActionGirl: She's quite skilled with a gun, and most people struggle to keep up with her in a fight. |
| 98 | * AdventurerArchaeologist: Almost. The tie-in material mentions she was going to be an archaeology major before fate decided to change her plans. |
| 99 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: Like her sister, she tends to distance herself from people. |
| 100 | * AmbiguouslyChristian: Abbie mentions that her mom had her and Jenny attend Bible classes. Jenny can even recite passages by heart, specifically the Book of Revelation. |
| 101 | * [[BigLittleBrother Big Little Sister]]: Jenny is noticeably taller than Abbie. |
| 102 | * BrainyBrunette: She's well-versed on Sleepy Hollow artifacts. |
| 103 | * BrokenBird: She was also affected by her and Abbie's encounter in the woods, albeit in a different way. Instead of bottling up her emotions and never telling anybody, she confessed what she saw and ended up in an asylum. |
| 104 | * BrutalHonesty: She's not hesitant to say what she thinks. |
| 105 | * TheCassandra: She saw Moloch in the woods and knows about the impending Apocalypse, but no one believes her and she's institutionalized because of it. |
| 106 | * CrazySurvivalist: How she is seen. She's definitely a survivalist, if not crazy. She was also associated with a group of Crazy Survivalists in the past. |
| 107 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Abbie and Jenny were burgeoning delinquents getting in and out of trouble until their episode in the woods, which separated them and left scars on them both. |
| 108 | * DeadpanSnarker: Even more so than her sister. |
| 109 | * DemonicPossession: |
| 110 | ** "The Vessel" shows that a demon named Ancitif possessed Jenny on and off for years. |
| 111 | ** In Season 3, [[spoiler:she gets taken over by the "mystical energy" of the Hidden One, an old divine being.]] |
| 112 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay Sarah Connor]]. Jenny is [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first introduced]] locked in a mental institution, working out to prepare to fight her enemy. She's also been trained all over the world to prepare for the Apocalypse. She later [[DungeonBypass cuts a hole in the ceiling to get out of her room]]. |
| 113 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. Abbie and Jenny ''both'' saw Moloch in the woods. They both went on to become troubled women. Abbie turned her life around while Jenny sank deeper into her "insanity" and stole survival gear in preparation for the End of Days. |
| 114 | * FosterKid: Along with her sister. It didn't do any favors for her emotional issues later in life. |
| 115 | * TheLadette: Jenny is a tough fighter and she certainly loves her guns, even quipping that she thinks the guns that Irving loaned her were a gift. |
| 116 | -->'''Irving:''' Cigars are a gift. Jewelry is a gift.\ |
| 117 | '''Jenny:''' Maybe I'm a different kind of girl. |
| 118 | * [[BigBrotherInstinct Little Sister Instinct]]: In "The Vessel," Jenny reveals that she purposefully got herself institutionalized so that Ancitif wouldn't make her hurt Abbie. |
| 119 | * TheNicknamer: Ichabod seems to be her favorite target. |
| 120 | * TheOphelia: {{Averted|Trope}}. While she was institutionalized after she and Abbie saw the four trees in the woods, Abbie was the one to go into denial and delude herself, while Jenny had the entirely sane reaction of preparing for the upcoming Apocalypse. |
| 121 | * PromotionToOpeningTitles: Promoted to series regular starting in Season 2. |
| 122 | * QuirkyCurls: The "quirky" part coming from the fact that she's seen as paranoid ([[ProperlyParanoid there's a reason for that]]) and eccentric. |
| 123 | * SiblingTeam: With Abbie in "The Sin Eater" and "Necromancer." |
| 124 | * UnresolvedSexualTension: With Irving, and with Joe. [[spoiler:The latter actually gets resolved in "The Art of War."]] |

She is also the mother to Molly Thomas who is revealed to be the next Witness who was awakened after Abbie's death. Reluctant to involve her daughter in the war against evil, she takes up the mantle of Ichabod's partner until such a time when Molly is ready to step into the role of Witness. |
| 134 | ---- |
| 135 | * ActionMom: An action-prone Homeland Security agent and is also Molly's mother. |
| 136 | * DeadpanSnarker: Copes with the supernatural by making dry, cutting remarks. She also is this towards Ichabod and pokes fun at his more eccentric behavior. |
| 137 | * DefrostingIceQueen: She starts off distrustful toward Ichabod, and becomes especially hostile once she learns Molly is the next Witness and has a destiny to fight supernatural evil. She eventually comes around and warms to not just Ichabod, but Jenny, Jake and Alex as well when she realizes they are her best chance at preparing Molly for her role and defending herself against any supernatural threats. |

| 152 | * BlackAndNerdy: A dorky African-American research analyst whose bookworm habits are noted by many others. |

| 219 | |
| 220 | -->''"You know, there are two things in life I believe a person should hold on to for as long as possible: virginity and skepticism. Surprisingly, I already lost the first thing, so I'm going to hold on for the second one as long as possible."'' |
| 221 | |
| 222 | The (former) chief of the Sleepy Hollow Police Department (yet affiliated with the New York State Police) who is initially skeptical of Crane and Abbie's assertions. He later discovers the supernatural truth of them when the three of them confront, battle, and trap the Horseman of Death. |
| 223 | ---- |
| 224 | * ActionDad: He has a young daughter, Macey. |
| 225 | * AffectionateNickname: Macey is fond of calling him "Popski." |
| 226 | * AgentScully: Even more than Abbie. That is, until he finds out what's really going on. |
| 227 | * BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: In "The Akeda," he gets wounded and dies soon after defeating Henry's AnimatedArmor. |
| 228 | * CameBackWrong: DoubleSubverted. Katrina's spell in "Kali Yuga" says that he is freed of Henry's influence on his soul. However, he also casts no reflection, showing he's not quite human anymore. This is because Katrina's spell was tricked by a magic rune, and Frank really has been spending time under Henry's thrall since his resurrection. |
| 229 | ** {{Averted|Trope}} by "Awakening," after Henry dies, Irving regains his free will. |
| 230 | * DaChief: He was in charge of the Sleepy Hollow Police Department. |
| 231 | * DeadpanSnarker: It's his way of dealing with all the supernatural craziness all around him. |
| 232 | * DealWithTheDevil: In Season 2, he unknowingly sells his soul to Henry. When he finds out the truth, he isn't happy and immediately seeks a way out of the deal. |
| 233 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: In "The Akeda," he bests War in a one-on-one swordfight. |
| 234 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: In "The Akeda," he faces off against War, wielding the [[SwordOfPlotAdvancement Sword]] [[InstantExpert of Methuselah]], and wins. Unfortunately, [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu he sustains a mortal wound and dies]]. |
| 235 | * EnemyWithin: In Season 2, his soul was tainted by Henry, so he had a sort of alternate personality that served Henry obediently while his true self grew weaker over time. |
| 236 | * FairCop: Hot dad and (former) chief of police. |
| 237 | * MeaningfulName: He's presumably named after Creator/WashingtonIrving. |
| 238 | * NotQuiteDead: As shown in "Paradise Lost"'s [[TheStinger stinger]], he survived his wound in "The Akeda," albeit in ratty clothing and with no shoes, apparently exhausted and wandering alone in Sleepy Hollow. |
| 239 | * NoOntologicalInertia: Henry's binding contract with Irving was voided at the time of Henry's death in "Awakening." |
| 240 | * PapaWolf: He doesn't take kindly to demons threatening his daughter. He also takes the fall for the actions of a [[DemonicPossession possessed]] Macey in the Season 1 finale. |
| 241 | * PutOnABus: In Season 3, he is said to have moved away quietly to protect his family from further demonic activity. It's implied that Jenny helped them disappear undetected. |
| 242 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In "John Doe," Irving not only deflects questions about Ichabod's qualifications as a police consultant, but makes arrangements allowing Abbie to abduct two quarantined patients from CDC custody based only on her ''hunch'' of how to supernaturally cure them. Once he sees the Horseman in action with his own eyes, he's quick to help Abbie and Ichabod. |
| 243 | * SkepticNoLonger: Once he sees the Horseman with his own eyes, he can no longer insist that the Horseman isn't real. |
| 244 | * TheSnarkKnight: A lot of the time, he fills the role of cynical commentator. |
| 245 | * TallDarkAndSnarky: Easy on the eyes and possesses a great deal of snark. |

| 252 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/KatiaWinter |
| 253 | |
| 254 | Ichabod's wife and secret witch who cast the spell to bind Ichabod to the Horseman. She appears to him in dreams in the present, claiming that she is trapped in a place between worlds and can only be freed with the defeat of the Horseman. |
| 255 | ---- |
| 256 | * AdaptationalBadass: The source material describes Katrina simply as the daughter of a wealthy farmer. This version is now a witch and the leader of the good coven in Sleepy Hollow. |
| 257 | * AmbiguouslyJewish: She claims to be a Quaker when she first meets Ichabod, but she's shown buried in a Jewish cemetery. Possibly {{justified|Trope}} in that her maiden name indicates that she's of Dutch ancestry, and Amsterdam had one of the largest, most prosperous, and most assimilated Jewish communities in Europe prior to UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. |
| 258 | * BigGood: Was the leader of the Sisterhood of the Radiant Heart, the good coven of Sleepy Hollow. |
| 259 | * BreakTheCutie: Watching her husband sort-of-die and then being trapped in Purgatory by her own coven. And ''before'' being trapped, giving birth to a child she can't raise because being associated with her is dangerous for him. Then said child is punished anyway and buried alive, again by her own coven. And when her family is finally altogether after so many years? Her son betrays her to Death for [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom (understandably) causing ALL of his problems and then buries her husband alive in his old grave]]. [[TraumaCongaLine Fate itself seems out to get Katrina]], and it only gets worse when her own son magically impregnates her with Moloch and she is forced to suffer excruciating pain before she is saved. |
| 260 | * BurnTheWitch: Katrina was convicted of witchcraft, and though she is still able to contact Ichabod and there's no body in her grave, according to her headstone, she was burned alive. |
| 261 | * CharacterDeath: In "Tempus Fugit," she's stabbed by Ichabod and dissolves. |
| 262 | * DamselInDistress: Katrina can't catch a break as she is first stuck in Purgatory, then captured by the headless horseman. When Ichabod attempts to rescue her, she stays behind so she can relay any information to them. Finally, she needs Abbie and her husband’s help to get rid of her demonic pregnancy. |
| 263 | * DiedInYourArmsTonight: As Henry/Jeremy is disintegrating, she is seen holding his head. |
| 264 | * EvilRedhead: As of "Awakening." It took Henry’s convincing to turn to the dark side. |
| 265 | * FaceHeelTurn: In "Awakening," when she joins Henry in his plan to awaken the witches living in Sleepy Hollow and form a new coven. When Henry is shot and killed by Abbie in the attempt, she goes completely off the deep end and travels back in time to try to kill Ichabod, whom she blames for all of her misery. |
| 266 | * GuileHeroine: By making sure Ichabod got resurrected, she basically set most of the plot into motion. |
| 267 | * HospitalHottie: She was a nurse during the war. |
| 268 | * HotWitch: Her husband certainly thinks so. |
| 269 | * IHaveYourWife: Moloch was holding her hostage in Purgatory as a reward for the Horseman. |
| 270 | * IncitingIncident: After Henry's death, Katrina casts a spell that transports her consciousness into her past self so she can change things, namely by making sure Ichabod dies in his confrontation with the Horseman. |
| 271 | * LadyOfBlackMagic: Graceful, lady-like, and a powerful witch who derives her magic from the elements and can tap into darker forces for stronger, corrupted magic. |
| 272 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: After Henry's death in "Awakening," her grief drives her to travel back in time in order to kill Ichabod. |
| 273 | * MissingMom: To her son Henry/Jeremy. |
| 274 | * [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou Mommy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You]]: The Sisterhood of the Radiant Heart went after her for messing with Ichabod's fate, and Katrina left the newborn Jeremy with Joseph and Grace Dixon (Abbie's ancestors) so that he didn't have to live life as a fugitive. |
| 275 | * TheMole: In Season 2, she decides to stay with Headless and Henry to find out more about their plans. |
| 276 | * [[MrExposition Ms Exposition]]: One of her key roles is to appear and warn Ichabod about whatever evil force is next due to arrive. |
| 277 | * MySecretPregnancy: "Sanctuary" reveals that she hid the fact that she was pregnant and secretly gave birth to Jeremy. |
| 278 | * MysteriousPast: We don't know much about her other than the fact that she was a Quaker, served as a nurse during the war, and used to be engaged to Ichabod's (former) best friend. |
| 279 | * NeverFoundTheBody: She wasn't in her grave, and it's likely that she was never [[BurnTheWitch burned]], which means Ichabod has no idea where his wife might lay. Turns out she was in Purgatory, and is brought to the real world in the Season 1 finale. |
| 280 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: She abandons her son so he can have a better life since she was on the run from her coven. However this lead to her son having a miserable childhood and ends up getting buried alive. This in turn resulted in him becoming a psychopath as one of the first things he does, when he’s reunited with her, is to hand her over to the Horseman of Death. |
| 281 | * SealedGoodInACan: Katrina was trapped in Purgatory by her own coven. |
| 282 | * SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Due to being the wife of the main character and the one who set many of the show's events into motion. |
| 283 | * SomeoneToRememberHimBy: She gives birth to a son after Ichabod's fatal encounter with the Horseman. |
| 284 | * SpiritAdvisor: Katrina's soul was trapped in [[MirrorWorld Purgatory]] by her own coven, but she can occasionally contact Ichabod. |
| 285 | * SupernaturallyYoungParent: Her son, Henry/Jeremy, is physically an old man, while Katrina still appears young. |
| 286 | * SuperpowerfulGenetics: Katrina's powers are apparently genetic, as seen by her son, Henry/Jeremy, inheriting her abilities. |
| 287 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: If she hadn't broken off her engagement with Abraham, he and Ichabod wouldn't have dueled and Abraham wouldn't have fallen in with the Hessians, sold his soul to Moloch, become Death, the works. In her defense, she wanted to MarryForLove. Of course, some of this may be the [[SharpshooterFallacy Sharpshooter's Fallacy]]: if she hadn't so upset Abraham, Moloch probably would have found someone else to be the pale rider's avatar. |
| 288 | * UnwittingPawn: To Henry as at one point Abraham tells him suspects that she is somehow getting around the barrier, on where they are staying, that prevents her from using her magic. She briefly talks to Ichabod and Abbie in the mirror before abruptly ending her conversation when she hears a door being open. This allows Henry to spy on Ichabod and Abbie. |
| 289 | * WhatTheHellHero: Ichabod calls Katrina out in "The Weeping Lady" for always keeping secrets from him, such as being a spy for Washington, being a witch and, relevant to the episode, covering up the accidental death of Ichabod's childhood friend, whom he was supposed to accompany back to England and marry. |

Abbie is the driving force in the future of understanding the new Sleepy Hollow. In Season 3, she actually does go to work for the FBI. |

| 303 | * AgentScully: It's explained as a decades-old habit from childhood, learned in order to defend herself from the twin evils of psychiatry and the foster care system. She gets over it. |

| 305 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: She doesn't get close to people. Again, explained by her childhood. |
| 306 | * AmbiguouslyChristian: She mentions that her mom had her and Jenny attend Bible classes. |

| 309 | * BrokenBird: Abbie is still very much affected by her encounter with Moloch in the woods when she was a kid. |
| 310 | * TheChosenOne: According to Ichabod, Abbie is the second Witness. |
| 311 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She saw the trees and Moloch in high school, was pretty much ostracized after the fact because of it, then turned to drugs and running with bad people to just try and forget before she was arrested and managed to turn her life around. |
| 312 | * DeadpanSnarker: She tells Ghost!Corbin to only haunt her if he's going to be helpful. |
| 313 | * DeadGuyJunior: "Sanctuary" reveals that she's named after her ancestor, Grace Dixon. |

| 317 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler:In the final act of "Awakening."]] |
| 318 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. Abbie and Jenny ''both'' saw Moloch in the woods. They both went on to become troubled women. Thanks to Corbin, Abbie found a better path and became a cop; Jenny, on the other hand... |
| 319 | * FormerTeenRebel: Used to be a drug-addicted criminal until Corbin convinced her to turn over a new leaf. |
| 320 | * FosterKid: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. Abbie had a number of problems in her youth (drugs, alcohol, crime) stemming from a lack of a stable home or dependable guardians. She turned her back on Jenny because she didn't want to be put back in the system. |
| 321 | * HeroicNeutral: She was going to leave Sleepy Hollow for Quantico and not deal with what was going on, but after the events of the pilot, she decides to stay. |
| 322 | * HeroicSacrifice: She has a knack for these, pulling off [[spoiler:three in just as many seasons]]. In the Season One finale, she agrees to stay in purgatory so that Ichabod can save Katrina, effectively dooming herself to eternal torment (it doesn't last, fortunately). [[spoiler:Then, in the Season 3 mid-season finale, she jumps into a portal with the exploding [[ArtifactOfDoom Eye of Providence]], to keep it from destroying Sleepy Hollow, leading to everyone thinking she's dead (this, too, is only temporary). Finally, she gives her life in the season finale to enable the others to destroy [[BigBad Pandora]], and it seems like this time, it's going to [[KilledOffForReal stick]].]] |

| 324 | * ISeeDeadPeople: She sees and communicates with Corbin's spirit the end of "Blood Moon." |
| 325 | * MoralityPet: Possibly to Andy. In "Blood Moon," he appears behind her when she's looking for Serilda but does nothing to stop her. |
| 326 | * MyGreatestFailure: Abbie pretended she saw nothing and let her sister get taken away and committed for insisting they saw a demon in the woods. It nigh-permanently damaged their relationship, to the point where they stopped speaking altogether after ending up on opposite sides of the law. |
| 327 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: She's only 5'1", but she proves to be more than capable in both shootouts and close-up scraps. |
| 328 | * ReformedCriminal: She was arrested after trying to rob a pharmacy when she was a teenager, but she's turned her life around since then. |
| 329 | * SiblingTeam: With Jenny in "The Sin Eater," "Necromancer," and "Mama." |
| 330 | * UnwittingPawn: To Henry when she decides to stay in purgatory to free Katrina so she can use her magic to stop the Horseman of War from rising. However, it turns out to be useless as War (Henry) was already risen. The real purpose was to separate the witnesses so Henry can break the second seal the apocalypse. |
| 331 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She ''really'' doesn't like haunted houses. |

| 372 | * SemperFi: He's a former Marine. He was given an honorable discharge after being wounded in action. |
| 373 | * ShellShockedVeteran: In his first appearance, he just got back from Afghanistan after his whole platoon was killed and seems to have a pretty bad case of PTSD (granted, partly that was likely because he was cursed to turn into a Wendigo and subsequently ate his comrades). |

| 428 | * FreudianExcuse: Her abusive father sold her into slavery, then she convinced her master to feed him to his lion. |
| 429 | * GreenThumb: Whatever she's doing, it involves making some sort of tree grow. [[spoiler:Turns out the tree is a gate to the Underworld, so she can enter and rescue her husband.]] |
| 430 | * HappilyMarried: To [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Hidden One]], an ancient Sumerian deity. [[spoiler:Resurrecting him seems to have been her primary reason to raise hell in Sleepy Hollow.]] |
| 431 | * HiddenAgendaVillain: So far her motives and goals are a complete mystery. [[spoiler:Turns out she wants to rescue her divine husband and reshape the world.]] |
| 432 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: She usually appears in the guise of a beautiful woman, but at rare times, she displays features that recall a snake or crocodile. |
| 433 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: They're usually visible when she's working magic. |
| 434 | * WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: So far, Pandora has been seen disguised as a bookstore lady and a nurse. |

| 443 | ->'''Played By:''' Creator/JohnNoble, Creator/BradenFitzgerald (child), Creator/DannyRawley (teenager) |
| 444 | |
| 445 | -->''"Now you'll know what it is to lose faith. When it's gone, you have nothing. And when you have nothing, there's nothing holding you back from what you're capable of."'' |
| 446 | |
| 447 | A Sin Eater who helped Crane break the curse connecting him with Death. Later, Parrish was revealed to be Jeremy Crane, Katrina and Ichabod's son, as well as War, the Second of the Four HorsemenOfTheApocalypse, bitter over how his parents' actions led to him being trapped in a coffin for two centuries in a state of living death until he was released by Moloch. |
| 448 | ---- |
| 449 | * AmoralAttorney: Starting in Season 2, he begins posing as a lawyer. |
| 450 | * AndIMustScream: Coupled with BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil, he was left nearly dead, with his heart stopped, feeding on just the vines that crept into his pine box for two hundred years until Moloch found and resurrected him on the day Abbie and Jenny saw him (Moloch). |
| 451 | * AntagonisticOffspring: To Ichabod and Katrina. By the end of Season 2, he persuades his mother to join with him in forming a new witch coven, but remains staunchly opposed to his father. In the end, though, he makes amends with both his parents as he dies from a gunshot wound. |
| 452 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: He's not the gentle old fuddy-duddy he appears to be; he's a ruthless and crafty enemy. |
| 453 | * BlackEyesOfEvil: His eyes turn black whenever he uses his Sin Eater powers and when he's animating his Horseman armor. |
| 454 | * BlessedWithSuck: He has the ability to see the sins of others, but it's taken a hefty psychological toll and led him to become a recluse; although his status as a hermit may have been part of the ruse, he doesn't seem to want to interact with people all that much, even in his real persona. |
| 455 | * BloodMagic: His blood created the Golem and let him survive the Sisterhood's hex. |
| 456 | * BreakTheHaughty: His failure in "The Weeping Lady" results in him breaking down crying. Less from the fact that he's failed, however, than from the fact that he [[WellDoneSonGuy is reprimanded by Moloch]]. After that, he stops pursuing his own goals, instead just working toward helping Moloch directly. |
| 457 | * BulletDodgesYou: He manages to stop a bullet fired from Ichabod twice in “Awakening”. However, the second time he stopped a bullet fired from Ichabod, he fails to notice Abbie aiming a gun at him resulting in him getting shot. |
| 458 | * ChekhovsGunman: He was the owner of the distorted hand that reached out of the earth when Abbie and Jenny saw Moloch for the first time, as they were witness to his resurrection. |
| 459 | * DeadpanSnarker: When he reveals his true nature, he becomes much more witheringly sarcastic. |
| 460 | -->'''Ichabod:''' To begin, let us agree that, through neither your fault nor mine, I was not the most involved father.\ |
| 461 | '''Henry:''' Oh, my. Is this to be an attempt to start over? Are you going to take me down to the fishing hole? |
| 462 | * DeadGuyJunior: He was named after his paternal great-grandfather. |
| 463 | * DealWithTheDevil: In Season 2, he tricks Irving into one, gaining possession of his soul. |
| 464 | * DeathEqualsRedemption: After he's mortally wounded, he reclaims his birth name "Jeremy" and acknowledges Ichabod as his father. |
| 465 | * TheDogBitesBack: In "The Akeda," he kills Moloch with the Sword of Methuselah for insulting and disrespecting him and Abraham one too many times. |
| 466 | * EasilyForgiven: Both Ichabod and Katrina insist that he can be redeemed, even though he's made it very clear that he chose to serve Moloch long long ago. [[LampshadeHanging Abbie repeatedly brings up how ridiculous this is, given his many acts.]] |
| 467 | * EvilAllAlong: Henry Parrish is Jeremy Crane, the Horseman of War. |
| 468 | -->'''Henry''': War isn't coming to Sleepy Hollow. It's been here waiting all along. |
| 469 | * TheEvilGenius: To Moloch as gratitude for being freed from his coffin by him. |
| 470 | * EvilLaugh: Since TheReveal, he's been tossing out a sinister chuckle every now and then. |
| 471 | * EvilOldFolks: He is a rather elderly Horseman of War, and while he almost never fights by himself, instead using his magic or his AnimatedArmor, he nevertheless proves to still be quick and strong enough to disarm, overpower, and choke his much-younger father (granted Ichabod was caught by surprise). |
| 472 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Comes from being played by Creator/JohnNoble. |
| 473 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: When Jeremy was resurrected, the church he stumbled upon (the church of Abbie's ancestors) was St. Henry's Parish; he took his name from there. Jenny figures it out, but Headless shoots out her tires, causing her to have an accident before she can tell Abbie. |
| 474 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Henry is charismatic, and often creates a believable façade of a cheerful and kind man, but truly, he is cold, bitter, and cruel. He's good enough to keep the heroes completely fooled right up till he reveals himself in the Season 1 finale. |
| 475 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: A lot of other things make a lot more sense when you realize he was a man OnlyMostlyDead for a long time. The episode where he reveals himself also shows a couple of his deliberate hints. |
| 476 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears a pair of thick glasses when doing his scheming and War-stuff. |
| 477 | * HatesBeingTouched: Only out of necessity, though. He's very sensitive to seeing sins and touch only makes it worse. This, however, might have been part of his ruse; after TheReveal, he's willing to use his powers as a weapon. |
| 478 | * TheHeavy: Takes up this position from Abraham in Season 2, as Abraham is focused primarily on keeping Katrina safe with him, whereas Henry is far more active in his fight for the Apocalyptic forces. |
| 479 | * TheHermit: Henry lived alone and was very much a recluse, seemingly because of his powers. While that may have been part of the reason, the bigger reason is likely to have been because he's the Horseman of War and he's playing a very long game. |
| 480 | * HumansAreBastards: He gives Ichabod a speech containing the malice in humans in "Root of All Evil." |
| 481 | * LegacyCharacter: His betrayal of Moloch is caused in part by the revelation that there have been other Horsemen of War before him and there will be others after him, making him a valuable but ultimately expendable resource. Henry, who thought that he had a special place at Moloch's side, does not take this well. |
| 482 | * LukeYouAreMyFather: Revealing to Ichabod and Katrina in the Season 1 finale that he is their son was quite a shock. |
| 483 | * ManipulativeBastard: He outmanuevers our heroes like a pro in the Season 1 finale. Thanks to him, Jenny is nearly killed, Katrina is a captive of Death, Ichabod is {{buried alive}}, and Abbie is trapped in Purgatory. |
| 484 | * MeaningfulName: Henry ''Parrish'', the ''Sin'' Eater. It's actually meaningful InUniverse, as he picked this name after the church where he was abandoned as a baby, St. Henry's Parish. |
| 485 | * NeverFoundTheBody: After stabbing Moloch with the Sword of Methuselah, the only thing left on the ground is a portion of Moloch's head. Henry is nowhere to be seen. |
| 486 | * PromotionToOpeningTitles: After recurring in Season 1, he was promoted to series regular for Season 2. |
| 487 | * PsychopathicManchild: Ichabod even calls him "an angry, unruly child" in "Awakening." |
| 488 | * SinEater: He has the ability to see and absorb people's sins. |
| 489 | * SquishyWizard: In contrast to the all-action Horseman of Death, he prefers to send his magical armour out to fight for him while he controls it from a safe distance. When forced to go into battle in person, he's still very dangerous due to his great magical power but also clearly hampered by being an out-of-shape elderly man with no real fighting skills and limited physical strength. |
| 490 | * TragicVillain: Henry/Jeremy truly has had a tragic life--raised in an abusive orphanage, tormented by powers he doesn't understand with only a living doll for company, and eventually {{buried alive}} for two centuries. It's little wonder he's so angry and tortured. |
| 491 | * TheUnfettered: He doesn't bat an eye at trading his mother away or burying his father alive. Considering [[AntagonisticOffspring the fact that he hates them and wants them dead]], this isn't surprising. However, when he tricks his mother into holding the baby Moloch, he seems very uncomfortable and seems to have finally found something that he hates having to do. |
| 492 | * WalkingSpoiler: From the Season 1 finale onwards, given that his true identity is War. |
| 493 | * WellDoneSonGuy: To Moloch. Moloch appears not to return any kind of parental feeling and tells him that he's a soldier and should obey rather than think for himself. Tellingly, when Moloch reprimands him at the end of "The Weeping Lady," [[BreakTheHaughty he breaks down into hysterical tears]]. |
| 494 | ** In fact, it's Moloch's terrible "parenting" that finally leads Henry to kill Moloch and save his real parents. |
| 495 | * WickedCultured: Very much so. |
| 496 | -->'''Henry:''' "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child." Theatre/KingLear.\ |
| 497 | '''Crane:''' Act one, scene four. Our mutual love of words is no coincidence.\ |
| 498 | '''Henry:''' [[SarcasmMode Perhaps I should thank you for the twinkle in my eye.]] |
| 499 | * XanatosSpeedChess: Every single time something seems to be going against him in Season 2 when he directly works for Moloch, it turns out to be {{Reconstruction}} in order to further his plans anyway. By "Heartless," Abbie, Ichabod, and Katrina are GenreSavvy to this. |
| 500 | * YoureNotMyFather: To Ichabod and Katrina during TheReveal. He feels bitter resentment towards them, and states that he considers Moloch to be his true father. |
