4
5!!The Shane Gang
6[[folder:The Shane Gang as a whole]]
7The hero team of the show, dedicated to stopping Dr. Blakk and other bad guys.
8----
9* ActionHero: All of the Shane Gang are always wanting in on the action and being the good guys while they're at it.
10* BackToBackBadasses: They often fight with each other back to back and boy, are they good at it.
11* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted, we see that the Shane gang is training a lot of the time.
12* InvincibleHero: Despite their losses, the Shane Gang has never gotten terribly hurt from their battles. Except for [[spoiler:that one time Eli got ghouled]].
13* MyHorseIsAMotorbike: The Shane Gang all ride Mechabeasts which can turn into motorbikes and vehicles of the like.
14* NonHumanSidekick: Technically there's ''two'', but Pronto is distinctly more nonhuman than Kord. If you wanna start counting ''the slugs'' though...
15* TrueCompanions: They are all close to each other and treat each other like family.

18[[folder:Eli Shane]]
19->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SamuelVincent
20
21The current Shane, a family dedicated to protecting Slugterra.
22----
23%%* ActionHero
24* AFatherToHisMen: Despite being just his slugs, Eli cares deeply for all his slugs he uses in battle. He also cares a lot for his teammates whom he considers his family.
25* AllLovingHero: Cares for the inhabitants of everyone in the caverns, no matter who they are.
26* AnimalEyeSpy: [[spoiler:While using Slug Fu in the Eastern caverns, he gains the ability to see through Burpie's eyes]].
27* BadassAdorable: Eli's a cool slugslinging prodigy, but there's a reason why [[PeripheryDemographic so many girls watch this show...]].
28* BadassNormal: He doesn't have the muscle and strength of a troll or the tracking skills of a molenoid, Eli's pretty normal as humans can get, but it doesn't make him any less badass.
29* TheChampion: One to the 99 Caverns, and possibly to all of Slugterra.
30* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Has a tendency to go help anyone in need when possible.
31* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: While he's not ''exactly'' one persay, both of his parents have been absent from his life. Eli's father does still have a part to play, but [[spoiler:Eli's mother left him]]. However, their absence makes it much easier for Eli to go to Slugterra and start adventuring.
32* TheCorruption: [[spoiler:Became corrupted by Goon Doc and fell under his control for a moment. He did manage to break free though thanks to Burpy and Doc.]]
33* DisappearedDad: His dad went missing in the first episode.
34* {{Determinator}}: As long as there's just a sliver of hope, Eli will never back down from what seems like an impossible victory.
35* FamilyOfChoice: Eli has lost most of his family, but he considers The Shang Gang his family.
36* FriendToAllLivingThings: Almost every slug Eli meets are extraordinarily friendly to him, even if they may be the slugs of enemies.
37* FullPotentialUpgrade: [[spoiler:In the fourth episode, Eli's slugs have become so powerful that firing Burpy causes his blaster to break, necessitating a visit to Red Hook in order to get it repaired. Red Hook ends up giving Eli a custom-made blaster that is just as powerful as [[ActionDad Will Shane's]].]]
38* GenreSavvy: Eli often tries to apply tropes from things he watched on the surface to things down in Slugterra, like ghosts and zombies. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope It doesn't end well.]]]]
39* GoodSamaritan: Even if it costs his something in the process, Eli always puts others first before himself.
40* TheHeart: Undoubtedly one to the Shane Gang and the 99 Caverns. If he falls, a Shane falls, which is usually a bad thing. He's the only thing between the bad guys and Slugterra. Whenever he goes missing or gets incapacitated, the Shane Gang gets heavily handicapped.
41%%* TheHero: But of course.
42%%* HeroProtagonist
43* ICallHerVera: Not a straight example, but Eli may come across as this to some people in-universe, as evidenced by Pronto's reaction to hearing Eli talking to his slug, Burpy. He ''is'' technically naming his ''ammo''.
44* InstantExpert: It should be noted that Eli's entire slug experience until he turns 15 is probably from ''books'' until he got to enter Slugterra.
45* KidHero: He's only fifteen years old. [[spoiler:He hits his 16th birthday by the end of "Into the Shadows", so he's growing out of it.]]
46* TheLeader: To the Shane Gang.
47* LikeFatherLikeSon: In addition to taking up his legacy, Eli even looks a heck of a lot like his father, Will.
48* MissingMom: [[spoiler:Eli reveals in "Into the Shadow" that his mother had left him when he was only 10 years old for an unknown reason and that he hasn't seen her since.]]
49* MindRape: [[spoiler:Was done so by Goon Doc when he tried to turn Eli into his Dark Slinger. He was forced into submission into his own mind and lost control of his body.]]
50* MysteriousPast: Other than his father being Will Shane and that he was from the surface, not much is known about Eli's life before Slugterra. [[spoiler:Later it is revealed that he has never talked about his past, even with his friends who he considers his family. He reveals that he had a less than satisfactory life after his father disappeared and his mother left him, leaving him to go live with his uncle.]]
51* NaiveNewcomer: Was this at the beginning of Slugterra. Effectively graduated from this after the first season.
52* NiceGuy: Is inherently nice and a good person at heart. He is prone to trust people and giving second chances.
53* ParentalNeglect: [[spoiler:Eli was abandoned by his mother when he was only ten years old and had been picked up by his uncle.]]
54* ParentalAbandonment: When he was only 10 years old, [[spoiler:Eli was abandoned by his parents. It couldn't be helped by his father's situation, but his mother apparently willingly abandoned her ten-year-old son]].
55* PursuingParentalPerils: Eli knows that his father disappeared protecting Slugterra, but he's still determined to follow in his footsteps.
56* SecretKeeper: As the current Shane, Eli has a lot of secrets to keep.
57* StockShonenHero: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. While Eli is a NiceGuy [[KidHero teen hero]] with ChronicHeroSyndrome and a deep love for his friends, he's quite intelligent and doesn't seem to be a BigEater.
58* TakeMeInstead: Does this when he drags his friends into trouble in the episode "A Distant Shore".
59* TheWatson: Because Eli grew up on the surface and not on Slugterra, what is common knowledge for other characters is not something he could be expected to know and he would need an explanation from his friends. This includes the caverns dying if the slugs abandon it and notable baddies his dad took on, like Blite. The situation then gets reversed when the gang learn from Eli [[spoiler: that the surface world is real. They don't really understand the astrophysics that would explain the Sun or how the Moon would stay in the sky]].
60* WorldsBestWarrior: Eli is undoubtedly one of the strongest and most adept slugslingers in all of Slugterra.
61* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Between Season 1 finale "Light as Day" and the movie ''Slugterra: Into the Shadows'', the Drop was sealed by Eli (who originally used it to get down to Slugterra) to prevent any stranger from the surface finding out about Slugterra. However, even with hole from the Drop open, he doesn't know a way to get back up to the surface where he grew up (due to the fact that there's no aviation technology in Slugterra). But then again, Eli doesn't really want to leave, especially since he considers his friends as his family and the fact that Slugterra still needs a hero.

64[[folder:Beatrice "Trixie" Sting]]
65->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShannonChanKent
66
67She was tired of bad people getting away with their crimes and set out to make a difference.
68----
69* BadassNormal: She's just a regular old human, but oh, is she badass.
70* CameraFiend: She has the camera and she's going to use it.
71* TheChessmaster: Shows signs of having this when manipulating the Hooligang, notably Billy, to do things she wants.
72* DeadpanSnarker: Trixie does the most of this out of the entire Shane Gang.
73* FieryRedhead: When Trixie gets mad, you don't want to stand in her way. Pronto seems particularly terrified of an angry Trixie.
74* IntrepidReporter: She loves recording stuff with her camera and putting them up on the Slugterra equivalent of an internet.
75* LittleMissSnarker: Trixie loves making those smart remarks.
76* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: She prefers to go by the name Trixie, though her full name is Beatrice.
77* RedheadInGreen: Has red hair and her outfit/eyes are green.
78* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: She has green eyes and red hair and is one of the main characters.
79* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female on the Shane Gang.
80* {{Shorttank}}: A rare example of a Western one played completely straight, from her [[FieryRedhead red hair]] to her formfitting and tomboyish outfit to even a bit of ShipTease with Eli.
81* StrongerThanTheyLook: Despite being the second smallest person on the gang, she can knock down people towering over her.
82[[/folder]]
83
84[[folder:Kord Zane]]
85->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AndrewFrancis
86
87A Cave Troll who is skilled in slug slinging and engineering.
88----
89* AscendedFanboy: When Kord gets to join his favourite slugball team in "Slugball". He also becomes a Mall Cop during "Dawn of the Slug".
90* TheBigGuy: He's the biggest of all the members of the Shane Gang.
91* BlueIsHeroic: He's on the force of good and he also has blue skin.
92* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Despite being the strongest of the team, Kord also has one of the biggest hearts.
93* TheEngineer: Kord maintains and upgrades the team's mechs beasts. [[spoiler: He also made the upgrade that turns the mechas into vehicle mode allowing them to go faster.]]
94%%* {{Fanboy}}: Kord is this to Mario Bravado.
95* GeniusBruiser: Kord is incredibly smart, but he also packs just a big a punch.
96* GentleGiant: Kord is huge and imposing but very friendly. And according to Eli's father, you'll never find a more loyal friend than a cave troll.
97* LanternJawOfJustice: Kord has this.
98* NeverBareheaded: His helmet spins around at times, but we never see a troll's bare head.
99%%* NoseArt: His blaster.
100* TheSmartGuy: He's one of the most tech-savy guy on the Shane Gang. He's always the one doing the calculations and anything of the sort.
101[[/folder]]
102
103[[folder:Pronto Geronimole]]
104->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LeeTockar
105
106A Molenoid who acts as the tracker for the team.
107----
108* AmbiguouslyGay: He has been seen ogling a bejeweled purse, been okay with crossdressing (Even asking "Do these shoes go with my outfit or are they too matchy-matchy?" Keep in mind that he was in a dress and heels at the time), and so far the only love he's shown to anyone was in the final episode of Season 1, "Light as Day", when he latched onto Eli's leg with a lovey-dovey look on his face.
109* ButtMonkey: While the Shane Gang as a whole isn't immune to slapstick, Pronto is usually the main victim of said slapstick, whether it's pranks from his teammates, getting stuck to the ceiling by the team's Slugs or even getting hit by stray shots.
110* ComedicUnderwearExposure: Pronto's underwear has been seen several times in the series. The best two Pronto underwear scenes are from episodes "Keys to the Kingdom", where Pronto and Sedo get hit by Thresher slugs and end up fighting in their undies, and "Upgrade", where Pronto's Mecha Beast rips off his pants.
111** Also, in the first few minutes of "Slug Fu Showdown", Pronto gets stuck in Jellyish Slug goop and the Shane Gang pulls him clear out of his pants, which are then eaten by a giant turtle.
112** Also in the same episode, Pronto is demonstrating his brand of Slug Fu when the Elementals start swarming him. When they leave, Pronto smiles thinking he's won. Then he suddenly looks down and realizes he's once again in his underwear. Then, he has to ride into Quiet Lawn Caverns with his undies exposed.
113* FriendlySniper: Averted. His blaster has a scope and a longer barrel, so in theory, he ought to be capable of more accurate shots. But his bravado and poor choice of slugs in combat make these attachments the only things keeping him from being completely ineffective as a slinger.
114* FunnyForeigner: He has... some sort of accent, though most of the Molenoids in the show speak in fairly standard North American accents.
115* {{Gasshole}}: Not only is Pronto's favorite slug a Flatulorhinkus, but every time Pronto is scared or surprised, a fart sound can be heard.
116* LargeHam: Pronto is this '''in SPADES'''.
117* TheLoad: While he proves useful on occasion, most of the time his SmallNameBigEgo and LargeHam tendencies cause much more harm than any good he performs in the same episode. Most of the ''Slug Fu Showdown'' 2-parter is completely his fault, due to him sharing crucial information to ''all of Slugterra''.
118* NoSenseOfDirection: Zigzagged. Sometimes he gets the gang where they need to go without a hitch, sometimes it would be through unnecessary peril via the scenic route.
119* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: [[spoiler:He may be king of the Molenoids, but this doesn't stop him from taking an active part in helping save and protect Slugterra.]]
120* SmallNameBigEgo: Has an inflated opinion of himself.
121* SpannerInTheWorks: The fact that the Gamemaster researched our heroes to get into their heads ''but didn't bother with Pronto'' [[BewareTheSillyOnes is precisely what allows our heroes to turn the tables]].
122* ThirdPersonPerson: Pronto refers to himself this way.
123* {{Wedgie}}: Pronto gets these A LOT. They first start in the episode "Undertow", when Pronto gets wedgied on a giant hook, then several more times from such things as a fishing pole, a crystal worm, and Kord.
124[[/folder]]
125
126[[folder:Slugs]]
127->'''Voiced by:''' None
128
129These slugs are the arsenal of the gang. There are many of them.
130----
131* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Buzzsaw can transform into a buzz saw like thing to saw through things.
132* ActionBomb: Rocky and Sparky both explode as part of their attacks. They always come out fine afterwards. Those they hit on the other hand...
133* ActionPet: They're often treated like pets, but they're also one the only way to effectively battle in Slugterra.
134* AuraVision: Mo the Enigmo can allow Eli to see the aura of slugs.
135* BlowYouAway: Bluster can form tornadoes.
136* ChekhovsGunman:
137** [[spoiler:Doc was known to be a key player in the story since it was the only slug the heroes had with them that can cure ghouls, but it turns out Doc was so much more important than that. It became a Guardian slug, and it turns out it is also one of the original five elemental slugs, specifically, the Energy elemental.]]
138** Mo's ability to let Eli see the aura of slugs [[spoiler:allows him to figure out which slugs are compatible for a fusion move]].
139* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Mo (though it could also be TooDumbToLive, since it fails to realize that some of the traps are deadly).
140%%* ElementalPowers: A lot of them have this.
141%%* {{EMP}}: The Xmitter slug from "The Hard Part".
142* GoodOldFisticuffs: Bludgeon punches things after hitting velocity.
143* AnIcePerson: Chiller has power over ice.
144* LightEmUp: Glimmer can make bright flashes of light.
145* MakingASplash: Beeker can shoot water.
146* TheMedic: Doc, and was a key slug in the battle against Blakk since Doc can cure ghouls.
147* OhCrap: During "The Journey Home", the slugs manage to show this by expression alone when they encounter various perils, like falling down a canyon, getting chased by a slughound, dealing with sharp electric saws and getting chased by Locke and Lode.
148* PlayingWithFire: Burpy has power over fire.
149* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Look how adorable they are in proto-form.
150* ShockAndAwe: Joules has power over electricity.
151* SilentSnarker: The slugs on occasion. Most commonly expressed by Burpy after something Pronto said or did.
152* StinkBomb: Stinky gives of smelly smells.
153* UndyingLoyalty: The Shane Gang's slug has an undeniably strong loyalty to the Shane Gang. Especially Eli's slugs who share a special connection with him; Burpy being the most notable one.

155
156!!Supporting Characters
157[[folder:Junje]]
158->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/VincentTong
159
160* AndIMustScream: The very fact that he was trapped in his own mind, possessed by a ghouled slug for 'twenty years of his life'. He doesn't remember much, thankfully, which makes it easier for him to recover from.
161* ArcHero: He was one of the main characters in Season 4 & 5, but he was demoted to a minor character once the Shane Gang returned to the 99 Caverns.
162* TheAtoner: When he realized how much carnage he had caused to the Eastern Cavern as the Dark Slinger, he and the Shane Gang went and fixed it all; redeeming himself in the process.
163* CartesianKarma: Many in the Eastern Cavern hated him for his actions as the Dark Slinger, despite being under the Goon Doc's control for twenty years. He spent much of the arc atoning for his past actions.
164* HeroWithBadPublicity: The years he spent as the Dark Slinger have resulted in him being hated by the people of the Eastern Caverns.
165* LonerTurnedFriend: Subverted. While he never rejects the Shane Gang's friendship, he is quite used to fighting alone. This causes some tension, at least at first.
166* MindOverMatter: In his first appearance as part of the Shane Gang ("Return of the Elementals"), he demonstrates that he can change the direction of his fired slugs through "slug fu".
167* OlderThanTheyLook: Turns out he was the dark slinger for 20 years.
168[[/folder]]

170!!Antagonists
171
172[[folder:Dr. Thaddius Blakk]]
173->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarkOliver
174
175* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:His father belittled and abandoned him as a child. This did not help his development at all.]]
176%%* BadBoss: Do not fail him.
177* BigBad: The primary antagonist of the show, and many other antagonists either work for him or otherwise receive their ghouls from him.
178* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Blakk acquired the land rights to build the Slugterran express by force.
179* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:When he was a child, his dad abandoned him to a ruthless criminal and said criminal enslaved him to be a miner working under terrible conditions.]]
180* EvilCannotComprehendGood: His entire obsession with changing slugs into ghouls is because [[spoiler: Will Shane convinced all his slugs-including Burpy-to leave him because Blakk was mistreating them]]. He literally cannot understand why the slugs would prefer someone who didn't mistreat them.
181* EvilMakesYouUgly: Dr, Blakk’s Dark Water experiments and [[spoiler: subsequent trip to the Deep Caverns]] made him uglier (and his mundane evil actions before that seem to have been doing this to some extent).
182* InTheEndYouAreOnYourOwn: He believes this due to his [[spoiler: DarkAndTroubledPast]] and MightMakesRight in contrast to the Shanes that practice ThePowerOfFriendship and ForGreatJustice.
183* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Dr. Blakk is talented with technology and science, but uses his technology for evil.
184* RivalTurnedEvil: Thaddius Blakk to Will Shane, after the Master chose Will over him. Though if his flashback about the decision is to be believed, Blakk was well on his way to evil by the time he met and dueled Will.
185* StartOfDarkness: "Back to Blakk" throws in a FreudianExcuse as well. [[spoiler:Blakk's own father was a SnakeOilSalesman who was run out of town, ''leaving his son behind to be enslaved in a mine''.]]
186* SuicidalOverconfidence: He honestly thinks that he can control [[spoiler:the Darkbane tribe after they invade Slugterra]]. Eli repeatedly points out how insane this is.
187%%* TakeOverTheWorld: Dr. Blakk's plan, using his Ghoul slugs.
188%%* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler: Before his father abandoned him to a gangster.]]
189* VillainTeamUp: [[spoiler:With the Goon Doc Slug in "Return of the Elementals". It doesn't last long when the latter eventually runs out of patience regarding Blakk's RevengeBeforeReason priorities ruining their plans]].
190* WeakButSkilled: Unlike the Shanes, Blakk was never an exceptional slinger but made up for it via his innovative tendencies. In a flashback, he actually wins against Will while trying to impress Shinai, but is shunned by her after he tries to kill an unarmed Will. Considering this is Blakk's flashback, though, there may be a hint of UnreliableNarrator involved.
191[[/folder]]

193[[folder:Maurice]]
194->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrianDrummond
195
196One of Dr. Blakk's minions.

203
204One of Dr. Blakk's minions.

209[[folder:The Hooligang]]
210->Billy '''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrianDrummond
211->Shorty '''Voiced by:''' Unknown
212->Glasses '''Voiced by:''' Unknown
213A trio of slug-slinging punks who have a grudge with the Shane Gang.
214----
215* GoldfishPoopGang: Their debut had them as a genuine threat, riding into a small quiet town causing mayhem, and curb stomping the Shane Gang's inexperienced slugs with powerful Ghouls. After a sound defeat, they are fired by Blakk, and reappear only to cause problems for Eli due to Billy having a very personal vendetta against him. If they cause major problems, it's usually indirectly due to Billy's stupidity.
216* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Eli only acquired Doc because Billy, the original owner, discarded it because it couldn't do anything violent or explosive like his other slugs, inadvertently giving the Shane Gang one of their most powerful trump cards against Blakk's technology and machinations.
217* SmallNameBigEgo: Billy thinks VERY highly of himself, in regards to Eli. After being defeated in their debut episode, he's become hyper fixated on proving to the world that he's better than Eli in every way.
218* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Billy is ''obsessed'' with beating Eli and proving that he's the better slinger.

236* BigBadWannabe: They have visions of grandeur, but lack the brains and slinging skills to make them a reality.
237* FatBastard: Boss Ember is rather portly and the nastiest one out of the bunch.
238* GoldfishPoopGang: They aren't that much of a threat on their own unless backed up by another party.
239* VerbalTic: Boss Ember tends to use the word "Puke" in a lot of his sentences.
240* VillainTeamUp: With [[spoiler:Tad Blakk in "Into the Shadows"]].

279[[folder:Tad Blakk]]
280* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:He hates being compared to his father]].
281* DidntThinkThisThrough: Threatens to squish [[PlayingWithFire Burpy]] [[TooDumbToLive in his]] ''[[TooDumbToLive bare hands]]'' at one point in a desperate attempt to get Eli to surrender. Even Eli comments on how poorly thought out that idea was.
282* {{Foil}}: To Eli. [[spoiler:He's a powerful slinger with a strong bond with one of his Slugs who set out to walk the same path his father. But while Eli loves all his slugs and his against ghouling them, Tad's love only extends to his main slug Pieper and he has no problems ghouling the rest of his slugs. And while Eli holds his father in high regard and wants to live up to how great he was, Tad has a low opinion of his father and wants to be better than him.]]
283* IAmNotMyFather: [[spoiler:Tad wants to be seen as better than his father in how he runs the family business of slug ghouling.]]
284* ICallHerVera: Like Eli, he's named his main Slug, Pieper.
285* LikeFatherLikeSon: [[spoiler:He was very eager to take over his father's business.]]
286* PetTheDog: Zig-zagged with his slugs. He treats them kindly, but ''still'' ghouls them. But played straight with his main slug Pieper, who he treats kindly, ,loves her and keeps her just as she is.

294One of the competitors in the tournament who was defeated by Trixie.
295----
296* ADayInTheLimelight: Received significant focus and development in his titular episode.
297* FakeUltimateHero: The people of his home cavern treat him like a LivingLegend even though he's this. [[spoiler: Turns out they already know he's fake, but enjoy his grandstanding because they would be bored out of their minds without him.]]

300[[folder:Red Hook]]
301->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrianDrummond
302
303One of the most well-known blastersmiths in Slugterra.
304----
305* ArtificialLimbs: The OldMaster engineer Redhook. Let's just say it's a MeaningfulName.
306* MeaningfulName: He has a red hook, and is named Red Hook.
307* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: Not a friendly fellow, even to the Shane Gang. [[spoiler: When he greets the Gang warmly when they come to upgrade their blasters, Eli and Trixie are instantly suspicious, and with good reason as it's actually Twist.]]

310[[folder:Mario Bravado]]
311->'''Voiced by:''' Unknown
312
313A trick-shot legend who retired from the spotlight and now runs a pizza store.
314----
315* ImprobableAimingSkills: What he is known best for and what he teaches to Eli.

317
318[[folder:Dana Por]]
319->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarykeHendrikse
320
321%%* ClassyCatBurglar: Dana plays this one straight -- [[RecycledInSpace but with SLUGS!]] [[spoiler:And a Shadowtech MacGuffin.]]%%Does not explain how she fits this trope in particular.
322* ImpossibleThief: Dana Por portrays herself as such using Shadow Clan Tech. The beginning of "The Gentleman and the Thief" is a lovely example. She takes Mario Bravado's pizza ''while he's still tossing it!''
323* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Played with. The Shane Gang faked Dana Por’s death to Blakk so he'd stop hunting her. And in return she turns over a new leaf and gets along better with Eli.

326[[folder:The Powers Triplets]]

331* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The brothers wear red and green while the sister wears purple.
332* LadyLooksLikeADude: Somewhat exaggerated with the sister. In addition to looking almost exactly like her brothers aside from wearing lipstick and having slightly longer hair, she also shares the same deep-pitched voice as them, to the point where Eli first mistook her for a boy.
333* NoNameGiven: Zig-zagged. Their names are [[AllThereInTheManual given in the credits]], but it isn't clear exactly which ones belongs to who since they only ever refer to themselves in-story as "brothers" and "sister".
334* TwinTelepathy: According to Trixie, the three of them have been slinging together since they were born, to the point where they can apparently predict each other’s moves before they make it.
335* VocalDissonance: The sister speaks with the same deep, masculine tone as her brothers.
336* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: They all speak with some kind of German or Swedish-sounding accent.

343* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:She was killed by Blakk in the episode she debuts in]].
344* RenownedSelectiveMentor: Shinai, the Unbeatable Master shows up at her own choosing to pick one student out of many hopefuls to teach.
345* OldMaster: She taught pretty much every generation of the Shane family slingers, and developed a reputation as the greatest teacher any aspiring slinger could ever learn from.
