The Ladies Book Club in General
The Ladies Book Club in General
- Admiring the Abomination: They've all done it on occasion, but Ryjinah seems especially prone to it.
- Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: Invoked in Season Three, where the players wear normal clothes reminiscent of their characters.
- Nathan/Legzi wear green jackets with brown undershirts.
- Jacob/Ryjinah wear black leather jackets over red shirts.
- Julia/Rah'ōxah both wear white shirts with rolled-up sleeves. Julia also pairs it with a sport jacket, invoking Rah'ōxah's look in the Ladies Book Club comic.
- Canon Immigrant: The concept of the Ladies Book Club, as well as its four main members — Tiffany, Rah'ōxah, Ryjinah and Legzi originated in an art challenge back in 2014, and weren't brought into Drawga until two years later.
- Costume Evolution: They get new outfits multiple times, generally to indicate a Time Skip or an increased Character Level.
- Does Not Like Guns: Rah'ōxah firmly believes that "only cowards use guns." Legzi does use one in the series finale, but this was treated like an exception to her moral views.
- Dreadful Musician: They had their own ska band, Trombone Epiphany, in their somophore year... and were apparently terrible performers. (However, the dragon Snowcone still loves them, as she's not very musical or familiar with the genre.)
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: In Season Three, they're not given any privileges for any of their previous accomplishments (up to and including saving the world) and have to work their way up from the bortom just like any other college graduates.
- Fighter, Mage, Thief: Rah'ōxah, Ryjinah and Legzi fits this version extraordinarily well.
- Generation Xerox: It's been said that the mothers of the main trio are adventurers too, and probably off fighting a god somewhere.note Not only that, their fathers also used to have their own little adventuring club when they were younger.
- Incorruptible Pure Pureness: To the point that it's noted by [[spoiler: and leads to the eventual destruction of a demonic soul collector. Good is Not Nice is very much in effect, though.
- Non-Indicative Name: They really aren't a book club by any definition of the word. The name was originally a cover story used by Tiffany to hide her dangerous hobby from her worried husband, and it stuck long after she ceased to be an active member of the group.
- Parodied in Season Three, where Rah'ōxah — who has severe reading difficulties — admits to not having done any of the (likely nonexistant) assigned reading over the summer.
- Only in It for the Money: Initially, they are only interested in doing quests to pay their bills.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: In the prequel comic, Rah'ōxah and Ryjinah are referred to exclusively as Rox/Roxy and Gina, respectively.
- Soul Power: Their souls are so perfectly linked that they unwittingly become a Living MacGuffin trio for the villains of both Seasons Two and Three of Drawga. Though that very same power is also what allows them to save the day in the end.
- True Companions: Through and through. Rah'ōxah even calls Legzi her sister at one point in the prequel comic.
- Unwitting Pawn: In Season Two, they all take on the quest to find Darryl's killer, only to learn that it's all an elaborate plan to use them as test subject in an experiment involving cross-dimensional portals.
- Xtreme Kool Letterz: The main trio are all guilty of this, but Rah'ōxah especially stands out.
Rah'ōxah
Rah'ōxah
- Badass in a Nice Suit: Dons a suit in Season Three, after a suggestion from her father. However, it's impracticality is pointed out this would be in a fight, so she removes her tie and uses it as a wrist wrap.
- Big Eater:
- Eats about eight sandwiches per day, not counting snacks.
- In the prequel comic, after Ryjinah says that she could eat a horse, Rah'ōxah claims to having once done just that, in only 15 minutes!
- The Big Gal: The tallest and most muscular member of the Ladies Book Club, Rah'ōxah was conceived as a working-class Eladrin with a lot of strength and little charisma.
- Daddy's Girl: She has the most functional relationship with her father out of the main trio. There may be some Reality Subtext here, as the team thought Julia Lepetit's father would be the one most willing to make a cameo. (Ultimately, none of the players' real parents did.)
- Genius Ditz: She is very forgetful and easily distracted — possibly coming across as an outright Dumb Muscle at first glance — however she knows the importance of proper training techniques, and has served as The Heart of the trio on multiple occasions. Basically, it seems like she can pay attention to important information, but rarely has the motivation or the energy to do so.
- Good Old Fisticuffs: She really likes punching people, lives as though there are no problems which can't be solved in this manner, and does her all to convince the rest of the world of this.
- Hidden Depths: While often seemingly emotionally distant, she's actually quite emphatic, and it is her conversations with Parker the Cat that pushes along his Heel Realization.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She might come across as the coldest member of the cast, but she does have some When She Smiles moments. Out of the main trio, it's also she who brings up friendship when forced to name something good about the world.
- Never Learned to Read: Subverted. She can read, it's just that she usually doesn't have the patience or interest to.
- Episode 2 of season 3 reveals that she deeply struggled in second grade to learn to write her own name, finally succeeding when she punched her desk into submission. She realized her true calling in life that very day.
- Percussive Maintenance: She fixes a defective printer by punching it. She rolls a natural 20 on the attempt and succeeds so well that the printer spontaneously prints a clue for where the LBC should go to next. Hand Waved in that it does have an artificial intelligence.
- The Quiet One: A Rare Female Example of the strong, silent type.
- Self-Imposed Challenge: For her second Season Two outfit, she decided to forego armor altogether, feeling that it made things too easy!
- The Stoic: Rarely deviates from her "resting bitch face", and when she does her expressions are generally more subtle than those of her teammates.
- Somewhat Deconstructed in the prequel comic, where she is portrayed as having genuine difficulties understanding emotions, feeling like they should be held back and not really knowing how to express them.
- On a more positive note, she has also been shown to be better at remaining calm during stressful situations than her friends, making her a bit of an Only Sane Woman, in spite of her Blood Knight tendencies.
- She has a Not So Above It All moment in season 3 episode 6 when she finally forgives Legzi and helps Q.U.A.I.N. kick a nug into his mouth, a single tear running on her cheek.
- The Teetotaller: After winning a drinking contest against the demon Bierruh'n the Brew-Bringer in the prequel comic, she claims to have "consumed a lifetime's worth of alcohol", and "shall never be able to drink again." She's keeping her promise in Season Three, only drinking "strong water", a simple homemade protien shake made out of eggs and water.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Pretty much only eats sandwiches, and doesn't even know what meals are, exactly. Exploited by Allon Pihs, who uses a sandwich as bait to lure hee into a trap.
- "Well Done, Daughter!" Gal: Perhaps Implied with the visions Allhands shows her. In a world where she doesn't have her friends, her greatest desire is being able to rely on the support of her father. Meanwhile, her worst fear is seeing him mock her.
- Xtreme Kool Letterz: Lampshaded in Season Three, where it's said that she threw her first frustraded punch after trying and failing to spell her own name in second grade.
Ryjinah
Ryjinah
- Attention Whore: In Season Three, which she spends a large chunk of trying to become an Instagram celebrity. The Final Temptation in the finale forces her to give up on this dream in order to help her friends defeat the Big Bad.
- The Charmer: Was initially conceived as a very manipulative person who used her charisma to get what she wanted.
- Everyone Has Standards: While a bit of a Nightmare Fetishist, she actually finds undead flesh gross, preferring to work exclusively with clean bones.
- Deal with the Devil: Made a pact with an Infernal named Brad, whom she also dated for a while.
- Dem Bones: She is a bone mage, and a big fan of creating skeletal creatures. Even in Season Three, where she's poor and unemployed, she still manages to have a pair of undead minions carrying her around the apartment. (Just don't ask where she gets the bones to make them...)
- Fog Feet: In a bit of Early-Installment Weirdness, her initial design had her dress turn into smoke, with the implication that her feet might be very strange looking. Later on, she's simply depicted wearing normal boots.
- Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Goes viral as "Barf Girl" after hitting herself with The Flail of Inibriation (forcing Jacob to draw wearing a pair of Inibriation goggles.) As far as Ryjinah is concerned, there's No Such Thing as Bad Publicity.
- Hot as Hell: An Ethical Slut variant. She's The Tease and a Ms. Fanservice — and apparently into S&M — but wouldn't want to seriously hurt anyone as long as they haven't done anything.
- I Do Not Like Green Eggs and Ham: Spends much of Season Three saying that she's never watched anime and isn't planning to either, despite encouragement from her friends. However, the show's final Crowded-Cast Shot shows her watching the Show Within a Show, enjoying it immensely.
- Kissing Cousins: Subverted. She starts Eating the Eye Candy when meeting Demon Johnny with his body restored and in full display. Then Jacob is reminded that the characters are meant to be cousins and quickly backtracks.
- Massive Numbered Siblings: Not Ryjinah herself, but her cousins, who all have the same mother.
- Selfie Fiend: Played With. In Season Three, she starts working towards becoming an Instagram star... without taking any pictures or even having an account. Instead, she relies entirely on strangers wanting to photograph her, with unsurprisingly limited success.
- Shout-Out: Her name is a reference to Regina from Mean Girls.
- She's All Grown Up: Inverted in that she's introduced as an attractive young adult, but flashbacks in the comic shows her to have been a very dorky-looking kid, complete with Pubescent Braces.
- Skeletons in the Coat Closet: With her second Season Two outfit she — perhaps inspired by Rah'ōxah — decides to incorporate the (undead, still sapient) skulls of Jonathan and Boneregard as shoulder pauldrons, replacing her bone staff with a pair of magic daggers in the process.
Legzi Shortstakk
Legzi Shortstakk/Shortstack
- Brawn Hilda: Briefly becomes one after downing The Potion that gets you Swole, making her bulk up and grow to the height of... 5'2.
- Chekhov's Classroom: While not shown, it's mentioned that many of Legzi's skills are things she learned from her classes at Darkmouth.
- Damsel in Distress: Serves this role in Drawga: LIVE, as Nathan Yaffe is busy being the DM.
- Meaningful Name: Out-of-Universe, she was given her name because of her tendency to wear fake legs (from her father's mannequin factory) to confuse the enemy. And she is — of course — quite short.
- No Honor Among Thieves: She somehow managed to cheat on her exams in pickpocketing and lock picking, both of which were of course based around lawbreaking to begin with.
- Older Than They Look: Legzi is 17 in the prequel comic, but is mistaken for a preteen due to her short height.
- Pirate Girl: Her Season Three outfit is based around this aesthetic.
- The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Has lamanted that she barely gets to do anything properly rogue-ish. Of course, theft is illegal even in Somewherica, and tends to earn her scorn from both her friends and the law.
- Ridiculously Fast Construction: Apparently a rogue-specific skill. In the third season, she constructs both a Rube Goldberg Device and a wooden shack which are immediately ready for use, and helps build one third of Crankenshaft's car pretty quickly too. That said, not all of her creations are particularly sturdy.
- Super Mode: Has one, where some of her manakin legs turn into armor and the rest blast away from her at great speed. Of course, she then has to go and pick up all those loose legs again...
- Supreme Chef: Is said to make a great breakfast, and even dreams about opening her own restaurant and call it "Eggsy Shortstakk".
- Whole Costume Reference: Her second Season Two outfit greatly resembles that of Green Arrow. This is lampshaded with her simultaneously becoming known as the "Veridian Arrow."
- Worf Had the Flu: Starts out Season Two at 50% health, as Caldwell got mad at Nathan for a pun he came up with. note In-Universe, Legzi was stabbed shortly before the story by a large-chinned stranger.
Tiffany
Tiffany
- Back for the Finale: She appears — for the first time since the character creation — in the penultimate episode of Season Two, being summoned by Rah'ōxah to help take down the Big Bad (and finally giving Caldwell a chance to actually play her.)
- Commuting on a Bus: Despite being conceptualized as a full-blown member of the Ladies Book Club, Tiffany basically just ends up becoming The Ghost and getting an extended cameo appearance at the end of Season Two. It's explained that she spent most of the season at church camp, and later became busy working as a substitute teacher.
- Girls With Mustaches: Being a dwarf, she sports a quite impressive-looking full beard.
- Hard-Drinking Party Girl: She's just getting started, but she's already tried booze at the church camp, and taken every drug at the same time.
- Hidden Depths: It turns out that she plays the ukelele (which is not a guitar) and is a very good singer.
- Knight Templar: She's referred to as the "Heathen Slayer" in the character creation episode. This doesn't really carry over into the actual show.
- Official Couple: Eventually gets married to a man named Ustess, whom she met at church camp shortly before Season Two.
- Shipper on Deck: She apparently ships the gods themselves, and is quite into smutty Pelor/Raven Queen doujinshi.
Basil
Basil
- Cat Folk: Is a Tabaxi, a catlike humanoid from Dungeons & Dragons.
- In the Hood: Being a monk, Basil naturally wears a... sleeveless hoodie? Granted, hoodies are occasionally referred to as "monk jackets."
- Official Fan-Submitted Content: The character was created based on suggestions collected from Comic Con attendees waiting in line for the Drawfee panel.
- Remember the New Guy?: Notably Averted. While Legzi and Tim know Basil from the summer course, the campaign starts with her meeting Rah'ōxah and Ryjinah for the first time.
- Squishy Wizard: Literally! Basil is a monk described as "squishy", which the artists interpret as slightly pudgy.
- Temporary Substitute: Essentially created to round out the trio in Legzi's absense.
- Vagueness Is Coming: All Basil tells Rah'ōxah and Ryjinah is that the school is attacked by some great evil. Partially Justified on a meta level in that the monster had yet to be designed.
