Catherine/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Badass Normal]]

* [[Bad Liar]]: To an almost absurd degree.

* [[Butt Monkey]]

* [[The Cameo]]: Appears Persona 3: Portable as "Man Drinking Alone", where he [[Late Arrival Spoiler|talks about getting weird nightmares and how a strange girl who suddenly appeared has suddenly thrown his life for a loop.]]

* [[Chick Magnet]]: According to Orlando, he used to be very popular with girls when he was younger. Not so much the case now, though he did catch the attention of Catherine. {{spoiler|Though there are bigger reasons for that.}}

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: When he confronts {{spoiler|Boss}} about the nightmares, he's so pissed off that this is the result.

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: In real life, he's pretty meek and spineless all around. In the dream world, he's a lot more [[Determinator|determined]], and openly defiant to his tormentors. His ability to quickly devise climbing techniques shows he can be especially clever too.

* {{spoiler|[[Despair Event Horizon]]: Comes close to crossing it when he loses Katherine. Depending on how you play, he can either get back with her, get over it, or make the last leap over it.}}

* [[Shadow Archetype]]: {{spoiler|Shadow of Vincent of course, hinting towards a Continuity towards the [[Persona]] series.}}

* [[Take a Third Option]]: {{spoiler|The Neutral Endings, in which he rejects both girls}}.

* [[Team Dad]] & [[Warrior Therapist]]: Towards the other sheep. As the nights go on, they all really start looking up to him. Often he'll teach them any techniques he's learned thus far.

* [[This Loser Is You]]

* [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]]: The hijinks involving Katherine and Catherine are utterly hilarious{{spoiler|... until things start ''really'' going bad for him.}}

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: In the Nightmare Stages, where all he's wearing is his boxers.

* [[Character Title]]: The only one in the localized version. In the Japanese version, she shares this trope with Katherine.

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]

* [[Femme Fatale]]

* [[Giant Waist Ribbon]]

* {{spoiler|[[Happily Married]]: To Vincent in the True Cheater ending.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Horny Devils]]: Her true nature is that of a succubus.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Knife Nut]]: Her [[Weapon of Choice]] when she tries to kill Katherine in a dream sequence is one of these, but [[Hoist by His Own Petard|she ends up being stabbed herself]].}}

* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: A particularly dark version.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Enforced and [[Justified Trope]]. {{spoiler|Seeing as how she's a succubus, she takes on the appearance of Vincent's ''ideal'' [[Ms. Fanservice]].}}

* [[Naked Apron]]: {{spoiler|In one of the pictures in the Good Cheater ending.}}

* [[Only One Name]]

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]]: Even has a bit red on her outfit while Katherine has a bit blue.

 

* [[Betty and Veronica|Betty]]

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]]: Even has a bit of blue on her outfit while Catherine has a bit of red.

* [[Character Title]]: With Catherine in the Japanese version, where their names are spelled the same way.

* [[Financial Abuse]]: Says she'll be taking control of Vincent's finances after discovering her pregnancy, claiming that it's because he needs to be more responsible.

** When Vincent starts telling him about the pics that Catherine is sending him, he demands that he save those pics so he can see them later.

* [[Blue Eyes]]

{{quote|'''Vincent:''' "Does all this feel like a dream to you?"

'''Orlando:''' "Who dreams of taking a shit with another guy?" }}

* {{spoiler|[[All Love Is Unrequited]]: If you break up with Katherine, he reveals that he's had feelings for her for years.}}

* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: To Toby.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]]: Mostly towards Toby. He tends to be calm, level-headed and clad in duller clothing to represent his leaning towards stability as opposed to Toby's bright young enthusiasm.

* {{spoiler|[[The Bro Code]]: He'll break it if Vincent breaks up with Katherine for good, but gets turned down by Katherine. Somewhat subverted in that it isn't treated as too much of a big deal.}}

* [[Fan Nickname]]: An [[In-Universe]] example. Toby frequently calls him "Chief".

* [[Foil]]: Given his similar appearance, his leaning towards order and {{spoiler|eventual asking of Katherine out}}, he's basically what Vincent could become if he actually made up his mind for once.

 

* [[All Men Are Perverts]]

* [[Butt Monkey]]: He's always picked on by his buddies, usually for being the youngest, for being a virgin, or for his shyness towards Erica. {{spoiler|And then he eventually finds out that the woman he's been crushing on the entire time and whom he lost his virginity to used to be a man.}}

* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: He's quite clearly a good guy at heart although he's definitely one of the more perverted of them, proudly announcing his preference for older women and asking "What's so wrong with having some adult fun with someone older?"

* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: He's the youngest of the group by almost a decade.

* [[Likes Older Women]]: Rather unashamedly, too.

* [[Naive Newcomer]]

* [[Nice Hat]]

* [[Significant Double Casting]]: Subverted in both the Japanese and English dub in regards to Trisha. The only thing they share is a rather similar appearance.

* [[The Tease]]: Especially so far as Toby is concerned.

 

 

* {{spoiler|[[Friendly Enemy]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Glowing Eyes of Doom]] & [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Turns out that ''these'' are what his sunglasses are hiding.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Mr. Exposition]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Not So Omniscient After All]]: Vincent calls him out on this after the final battle.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: His weapon of choice when you face him in the penultimate level.}}

* [[Shrouded in Myth]]: Mostly played for laughs. There are quite a few wacky rumours about the Boss.

* {{spoiler|[[Smug Snake]]: After Vincent beats him, he can do little more than sulk at his defeat.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Turns out all he really wanted was for men and women to "continue populating the planet" and he intended to weed out cheaters in order to assist with that. Subverted in that he himself was cheating on Ishtar and fell out of favor with her as a result.}}

 

* [[Arranged Marriage]]

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Averted.

* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Daniel envies Vincent's carefree life. It's a small case; bonus for actually having [[Green Eyes]], too.

* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: He's been dating Anna, but his parents won't accept someone of her financial status for a daughter-in-law. If he survives the Nightmare, they end up eloping.

 

* [[Absolute Cleavage]]

* [[Everything's Better with Sparkles]]: Her afro is always glittering with golden sparkles.

* [[Funny Afro]]: A gigantic red one that is ''almost bigger than her body''.

** She lets it down if you complete the Axis Mundi Babel stage.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Not in the main game, but after you complete Axis Mundi {{spoiler|there's a scene where she basically seduces you through the fourth wall. Makes sense, given how she's a [[Love Goddess]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[Significant Anagram]]: Rearrange "Trisha" and you get "Ishtar"; her true identity.}}

* [[Significant Double Casting]]: Same {{spoiler|subverted}} deal as Toby in regards to Erica in both dubs. {{spoiler|Not so much with Astaroth in the Japanese dub.}}

** [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: {{spoiler|He's the sheep who gave you tutorials on the first Nightmare.}}

* [[Evil Phone]]

* [[Sanity Slippage]]: First, Catherine leaves him, and Steve becomes desperate to win her back through the Nightmares. ''Then'' he finds out that {{spoiler|she didn't really exist}}.

* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: He had an affair with, and later left his wife for, Catherine.

* [[Large Ham]]: It's Jamieson Price. What did you expect?

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: It's probably unintentional, but his broad face and gigantic beard are somewhat reminiscent of '''[[Brian Blessed]]'''.

* [[Parental Marriage Veto]]: He's not too fond of the idea of {{spoiler|Catherine marrying Vincent}}. Not that any attention is paid to his opinion...

* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: This is not the first time that [[Troy Baker]] and [[Jamieson Price]] [[Tales of Vesperia|have come to blows over]] {{spoiler|a woman and a world}}. Nor the first that [[Code Geass|the latter has]] {{spoiler|[[Code Geass|ended up subservient]]}} to the former.
