The various [[Public Domain Character|public domain monsters]] of the ''[[Darkstalkers]]''/''Vampire'' series are compiled here for your convinence. Names are listed as English/Japanese.
'''Before we get started, here are a few tropes that apply to (at least) most of the cast.'''
* [[Action Girl]]: Just about every female playable character.
* [[Cool Versus Awesome]]: The series' reputation for actually adhering to continuity aside, this trope is the backbone of the plot.
* [[Cute Monster Girl]]: Again, all of the playable females, barring B.B. Hood, who's a human ([[Cute and Psycho|but]] [[Enfant Terrible|a monster]] [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|on the inside]]).
* [[Fan Service]]:
* [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]]
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Some of these are blatantly obvious, but the more notable examples will be explained.
* [[Our Monsters Are Different]]/[[Our Demons Are Different]]: The demons of Makai are a mixed bag; [[All Myths Are True|some of them are classic takes on common monsters]], while others stray from the norm. Overlaps with [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]] in some cases.
* [[Power Levels]]: The characters of the series are gauged by their strength:
** Class S Darkstalkers are
** Class A Darkstalkers are the exceptionally strong demons, most of them filling the ranks of the Eight Noble Families of Makai.
** Class B Darkstalkers are the more powerful demons with sufficient training.
Line 30 ⟶ 26:
** Sasquatch: Whereas the typical yeti/Abominable Snowman/Sasquatch/Bigfoot was originally sighted in 1811, Sasquatch was born in 1903. This was the same date that Western scientists discovered Central Africa's breed of mountain gorillas. That same year, a newspaper printed the testimony of a man who said he watched as a man was killed by aborigines, which he said looked like a black man, but covered all over with gray hair.
* [[Stripperific]]: Most prominently seen with Morrigan, Felicia and Lilith.
* [[You Sexy Beast]]: Morrigan, though most of the cast counts.
== Introduced in ''Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors''/''Vampire'' ==
=== Demitri Maximoff ===
[[File:demitri 647.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|'''Class:''' Vampire
Line 50 ⟶ 43:
Tropes associated with Demitri Maximoff:
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: He's the main character of the series [[Word of God|according to Capcom]]. He is also a narcissistic and arrogant vampire who views everyone else but himself as nothing but food and wants to take over the demon world.
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: He's high nobility and definitely dangerous to know.
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: Before being exiled and more in the present day. He looks on everyone, human and darkstalker, as inferior and below him in any sense. Only a few people have his respect, Morrigan and Jedah being some of them.
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Midnight Bliss.
* [[Badass Cape]]: Which is capable of changing form.
Line 60 ⟶ 51:
* [[Blood Knight]]: Combat and seduction are [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|the only amusements of his endless life]].
* [[Cape Wings]]: His cape corresponds to the bat-like wings of his true form. The wings alone are revealed and used during certain attacks, such as Demon Cradle and Negative Stolen.
* [[The Dragon]]: To Pyron in the American cartoon.
* [[Evil Duo]]:
* [[Flash Step]]: Has [[Street Fighter|Akuma]]-styled dashes that make him disappear for a while.
* [[Gender Bender]]: His [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOPNAB4C_uQ Midnight Bliss] attack will do this to males it's used on, though in some games outside the series proper, it's a little hard to tell with some characters.
Line 73 ⟶ 61:
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Especially apparent in his endings, where we get close ups of his scowling or fang baring face, red eyes all wide.
* [[Ryu and Ken]]
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Mostly when he unleashes some special attacks like midnight bliss, or is about to win a fight.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: The Udon comics sometimes spell his name as "Maximov" instead of "Maximoff".
The ''[[SNK vs. Capcom SVC Chaos]]'' games spells it as "Maximov".
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]: What some ladies think anyway.
* [[Vampires Are Sex Gods]]: His way of drinking blood from people is clearly a reference to sexual activity. He himself has a preference for drinking womans' blood and refuses to feed on any other blood. His main target is Morrigan, but unfortunately for him, she is not interested at all in him.
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: His demonic form.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Baraba Kreutz, the leader of the royal guardsmen of the Makai's Kreutz clan (as well as {{spoiler|Jon Talbain's [[Disappeared Dad|father]]}}). Demitri was said to have seen a certain beauty in his fighting style and even said, "He is my best rival in my life."
=== Morrigan Aensland ===
[[File:morrigan 1940.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|'''Class:''' Succubus
Line 93 ⟶ 77:
The daughter of Belial Aensland, she was born with power that rivaled [[Rank Inflation|S class]] high nobles. Fearing that that Morrigan would lose control of that power, Belial split her soul in half, taking part of her power. But since the two halves of her soul were trying to return to each other, Belial further split one half of her soul into two in order to weaken the drawing effect. And so Morrigan's soul was split into three: half of the soul was in herself, another 1/4 was sealed in Belial's body and the last 1/4 was sealed in a separate dimension, and it eventually materialized as her "sister" Lilith.
But Morrigan grew up not knowing anything about the above events. She spent her days as a [[Rebellious Princess]],
----
Line 100 ⟶ 84:
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: Her iconic outfit technically "only" possesses an [[Impossibly Low Neckline]] and a cut-out right below said neckline that, combined, reveal her entire cleavage ''and'' the top part of her stomach.
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: Morrigan gets the worst of this in every adaptation.
** In the American cartoon, she and Dimitri are working for Pyron to help him take over the world. Although this is not her choice, she's still an evil succubus who wants to destroy the main characters and is malevolent by himself.
** In the manga ''Maleficarum'', she is less terrible, but still does eat human souls after seducing men. She has never killed a human in canon. She also seduces and almost kills Jon Talbain.
** In the manga ''Vampire Savior'', her main goal is to fuse with Lilith, but she is willingly to force and threaten her life if it is necessary to accomplish her goal. She also kills a bunch of dark hunters and even attempts to kill the man who Lilith loves along Lilith himself.
** In the Udon comics. Morrigan's hobby is going around the human world, seducing and killing countless men eating their souls. She's also completely apathetic to the life of humans, to the point she attacks and tries to kill Chun Li after she saves one of her partners from her seduction in a crossover with the Street Fighter comics.
* [[Anime Chinese Girl]]: She dresses as one in one of her winning poses.
* [[Anything That Moves]]: Subverted. Despite all the suggestive comments she has for females just as for males, and being canonically bisexual, Morrigan never truly express desire for anything except men. Although, this trope is played straigth in the sense she'd hit into anything male, even non-humans beings.
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Subverted, she's a Makai high noble, but has been explicitly confirmed as [[Chaotic Neutral]] by Capcom.
* [[Badass Princess]]: If only by a technicality. As Belial's handpicked heir, Morrigan is poised to [[Awesome Moment of Crowning|take the throne]] and become Makai's [[The High Queen|ruler]] (what the [[Back from the Dead|revival]] of Jedah, the only remaining High Noble of Makai, entails is unknown)
* [[Battle Aura]]: It's a bit hard to notice, but Morrigan is usually surrounded by a circular blaze of white or green fire.
* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]: The succubus race lives roughly for 400 years. At age 10, they gain their curvy, voluptuous adult forms and retain their beauty even in death. The incubi, [[Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism|on the other hand]], were (usually) never attractive to begin with, with 60% of them being gigantic [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|mutant insectoid dragons]] [[Biological Mashup|and all]].
* [[Big Fancy Castle]]: Inherited from "daddy". Because of her thrill-seeking nature, Morrigan does not spend much time in it, considering her life in the castle boring and confining.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Combat and seduction are [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|the only amusements of her endless life]]. She becomes less of this after {{spoiler|merging with Lilith as she now seems more interested in taking her duty as heir to the Aensland clan seriously}}.
* [[Breakout Character]]: Her popularity with fans led to her being included in tons of spinoff and crossover games. By the turn of the century, she was more widely recognized than the entire ''Darkstalkers'' franchise! Ironically, given that the goal of a succubus is to seduce mortals, Morrigan may be the most successful of her kind in existence, from a meta and allegorical point of view.
* [[Capcom Sequel Stagnation]]: The living embodiment and prime example of this trope. Her sprite and voice has remained the same in every single installment of the series.
* [[Cape Wings]]: Her clothing can be changed into a multitude of forms at will
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: Not that she walks much or kicks with them, due the changing nature of her clothing.
* [[Combat Tentacles]]: When she's not turning her wings into blades, Morrigan sometimes uses her bats as these. This is made much more explicit in the OVA, manga and Udon comics.
* [[Comes Great Responsibility]]: The main reason Belial seals her powers is that he feels she will lack the maturity and control to use such strength and will turn into a [[Person of Mass Destruction]]. Luckily, this is subverted when Morrigan ''does'' finally gain back her full powers.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Gorgeous [[Green Eyes]] to go along with her [[Rule of Glamorous|gorg]][[Rule of Sexy|eous]] green hair.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Despite wielding dark powers, she's not an evil demon
* [[Deuteragonist]]: She was originally this (with Demitri as the protagonist) until she graduated to [[Breakout Character]].
* [[Dimensional Traveler]]: The only means of travel between the Human World and Makai is a portal located roughly in the middle of Makai (The Gate). Morrigan is unique in that she is the ''only'' Darkstalker alive who can bypass this and directly travel to our world without the need to use The Gate.
Line 125 ⟶ 114:
* [[Femme Fatale]]: A more benevolent version, taking cues from the [[Good Bad Girl]] and [[The Tease]]. She's the closest you'll get to a heroic [[The Vamp|Vamp]].
** The American cartoon, on the other hand, turns Morrigan into something of a typical female villain: she's extremely [[Vain Sorceress]] (even moreso than in the game) and (with few exceptions; the [[Running Gag|"curiously attractive"]] Rikuo is one of them) [[Does Not Like Men|hates members of the opposite sex]]. There, she most definitely qualifies as a [[The Vamp|Vamp]].
** The Udon comics also turns her into a malevolent version of this, since she uses her charms to seduce humans to eat their souls.
* [[Foreign Fanservice]]: '''[[Sublime Rhyme|HOT SCOT!]]'''
* [[Fusion Dance]]: With Lilith, in both of their endings in ''Vampire Savior'', with slightly different results in each. The original ending(s) implied Type 1 (Composite), but this was apparently [[retcon]]ned [[Executive Meddling|by Capcom]] in the pair's following appearances into a mix of Type 2 ([[Super Empowering|Power Booster]]) and sort-of Type 3 (Switcher), in that while it's Morrigan who is dominant, Lilith has been shown to exist as some sort of [[Split Personality]]-like entity, and is able "[[Literal Split Personality|come out and play]]" at her own discretion. It should be noted that the ''Vs.'' titles are non-canon, and Morrigan's appearances there [[What If|are supposed to represent]] the full scale of her powers.
Line 130 ⟶ 120:
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Listen to her audio for Soul Fist and Shadow Blade.
* [[The Hedonist]]: It kinda comes with the territory. She ''is'' a succubus, after all.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]:
* [[Horny Devils]]: She is a succubus, so it's justified. However, most crossovers and darkstalkers games downplay her lust, since she's mostly a thrill seeker and seductress than a sex addict.
* [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire|Friendly Neighborhood Succubi]]: In canon and crossover appearances, that's it. Morrigan is mostly friendly and seductive around other people (specially humans) and does truly care about her kingdom as well her underlings. Not so much in other adaptations. See [[Adaptational Villainy]] above.
* [[Impossibly Low Neckline]]: Justified, as she actually wears part of her own substance as clothes, thus explaining how it manages to not slip off with every breath she takes.
* [[Famous Ancestor|Infamous Ancestor]]: Cartoon-only; she's descended from none other than ''[[King Arthur|Morgan]] [[Breakout Villain|le]] [[Public Domain Character|Fay]]''.
* [[Kiss of Death]]: In her non-canon ending to ''Vampire'', she sucks out Pyron's soul (leaving a withered husk) with a kiss
** The Udon comics feature her doing this more frequently, It's actually this ability what she uses to steal souls from men instead of seduction in the comics.
* [[Living Aphrodisiac]]: Being a member of the Succubi race, she's able to magically generate intense and spontaneous lust in mortal humans. Only those with strong enough wills can resist her charms.
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: Finishing Shower.
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Named after [[wikipedia:The Morrigan|a figure from Irish/Celtic mythology]] whose name can mean "great queen", "phantom queen" or "terror". While Morrigan wasn't born in Ireland (she was actually discovered in Scotland), she shares more than a few traits. For one, due to the death of adopted father Belial (as well as the lack of Jedah at the time), Morrigan is technically the ruler of Makai (
* [[The Messiah]]: This is what her adoptive father Belial believes her to be.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Morrigan is one of the best videogames examples. Morrigan isn't really wearing anything to begin with, her "clothes" being just the bats she summons and turns into clothes. Giving her race and personality, this is logical.
* [[My Significance Sense Is Tingling]]: She's originally drawn by Pyron's presence, and later senses Lilith's sadness, prompting her to fuse with Lilith.
* [[Naughty Nurse Outfit]]: One of her cosplays in ''Pocket Fighter''.
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]:
* [[Not Even Bothering with the Accent]]: Whenever Morrigan is given an English voiceover, she usually has an [[American Accents]] instead of a [[Brave Scot|Scottish one]]. To date, the only exceptions inside of the franchise have been the cartoon and the ''Night Warriors'' OVA.
* [[Out with a Bang]]: Her bodily fluids (produced by any form of pleasure) can cause instant death.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Belial [[Happily Adopted|adopted]] a young Morrigan ([[Parental Abandonment|her parentage is unknown]]) when he discovered her in Scotland. Sadly, he too would soon pass away.
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: The reason why Belial sealed away part of her power when she was born was because of the fear that she might lose control of it and end up destroying the netherworld.
* [[Power Floats]]: Unless she's dashing, Morrigan levitates to approach her opponents.
* [[Prehensile Hair]]
* [[Qipao]]: She wears one in a victory pose.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Downplayed, surprisingly. While Morrigan is a succubus and thus feeds on sexual action, she, unlike other succubus, can feed from other things like dreams and entertainment. It's because of this that she has never killed a human, which is not saying she never had sex with humans or other species, that's just not her main activity or trait.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Her official profile lists her birth year as 1678 AD.
* [[Rocket Punch]]: One of her throws.
Line 158 ⟶ 148:
* [[Scotireland]]: Irish name, has elements characteristic of an Irish/Celtic goddess, Scottish ancestry, Scottish accent.
** Regarding her accent, in the ''Darkstalkers Maleficarum'' manga, Jon Talbain remarks on Morrigan's "strong [[British Accents|Glasgow]] accent".
* [[Series Mascot]]: If not the main character.
* [[Sex Is Violence]]: Justified by the fact that Morrigan needs some sort of stimuli to keep herself alive (apparently, incubi and succubi [[Stalked by the Bell|can't survive for much longer than]] ''[[Stalked by the Bell|two full days]]'' [[Stalked by the Bell|without pleasure]]); of course, she'll be enjoying the fight a ''little'' bit more than most.
Line 165 ⟶ 154:
* [[She Fu]]: It's [[Distracted by the Sexy]] refined into an artform. A particularly ''lethal'' artform.
* [[She's Got Legs]]: Played up ''especially'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJtQ7VLSuoM in the OVA].
* [[Soul Jar]]: A humanoid version of one.
** In her ending in the first game, before absorbing Pyron's soul:
*¡'''Sleep Pyron. Dream of me, and my victory over you. Dream forever, and ever, and ever'''¡
** The UDON comic claims that Morrigan's body is a host of sorts for the [[Our Souls Are Different|souls]] of many humans (her reasoning is that she's giving them pleasure and a reprieve from the hardships of the world; [[Your Soul Is Mine|the souls]] [[Deader Than Dead|aren't destroyed]], [[Immortality|but live on within Morrigan]] [[Happiness in Slavery|in eternal bliss]], taking the form of the bats she wears as clothing and her wings). The Udon comics, however, are not canon.
* [[Split At Birth]]: Well, Lilith's birth was a result of Morrigan being split.
* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: Makes the cut at 172 cm/5'8".
Line 173 ⟶ 163:
* [[Taken for Granite]]: She turns herself into stone to avoid becoming Demitri's slave in his ending.
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Some of her attacks uses her wings to form drills, most notably in her Shell Kick special and Valkyrie Turn super move.
* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Morrigan never had a way to control her immense power well, to the point Belial had to split her power in three parts to avoid any danger. She also has no defense or knows how to physically fight well, since she relies on her dark powers and shapeshifting abilities to perform her attacks. However, since she is an immensely powerful succubus with power above galactic beings like Pyron and Jedah, she can handle problems. She even defeats Jedah after fusing with Lilith.
* [[Upper Class Twit]]: An insanely powerful demon who just wants to party. She also mixes this with shades of [[Rebellious Princess]] (she ''is'' the adopted daughter of the former ruler of Makai). For the most part, expect Morrigan to shirk her responsibilities and cause headaches for her caretakers. It isn't until her father dies and ''especially'' when she fuses with Lilith that [[Character Development]] rolls in, and [[Royals Who Actually Do Something|she begins to feel the need to be responsible]].
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Her ''Vs.'' series-exclusive Soul Eraser.
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: With an extra pair of miniaturized, presumably decorative ones on her head.
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Anyone else want to explain her [[Spinning Piledriver|Vector Drain special]]?
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifter]]: In the Udon comics, she has the ability to turn herself into human and other forms. She uses this to infiltrate in the human world and trick men into her seduction to eats their souls. She also uses this to fool Lucien (one of her guards) and leave Makai without being noticed.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: Seems to be her natural color.
=== Felicia ===
[[File:felicia-ds 68.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|'''Class:''' Catwoman
Line 204 ⟶ 196:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Just because she ''chose'' a pacifistic lifestyle, and just because her motto is always turning the other cheek, it doesn't mean that she cannot punch your head off or cut you into ribbons if you piss her off enough.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: She has a bit of it. She is also fond of tossing horrible puns here and there.
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: At
* [[Breakout Character]]: Alongside Morrigan, Felicia's popularity with fans led to her being included in tons of spinoff and crossover games.
* [[Cast of Snowflakes]]: Her seven younger cat girl friends - Alto, Grace, Lucy, Nana, Mimi, Nonno, and Piko - are all given brief backstories in the instruction booklet.
* [[Catfolk]]
* [[Catgirl]]: She is the living embodiment.
* [[Cat Smile]]: Naturally. Depending on the artist, Felicia will flash one from time to time.
* [[Celibate Hero]]: Not explicitly stated, but seeing as she's a nun, she fits the Trope.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: This lady fights ''dirty''. One grapple attack involves grabbing with her legs while dicing her foe's face, another involves kicking sand in their eyes. While many fighters in the game have one or two [[Assist Character]]s, Felicia has ''seven''. Not exactly fighting fair.
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Felicia '''technically''' becomes this, albeit in an obverted sense of the trope: In her ''Darkstalkers 3'' ending, Felicia becomes a nun and founds the orphanage "Felicity House", and all of the children look up to her.
* [[Cool Pet]]: Plays the role of one to Harry Grimoire in the cartoon, [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|assuming the form]] [[Sleep Mode Size|of an actual cat]] to ward off suspicion. In one of the official mangas, Felicia was the "pet" and secret best friend of a rich (and lonely) kid, acting as his bodyguard when two bumbling kidnappers took the kid away. Some chapters later, Felicia meets Jon Talbain and retakes the pet charade after they start living together.
* [[Cosplay]]: Played for laughs but with a more adult tone in the 1996 manga version, where Jon Talbain and Felicia share a tiny apartament, with Jon posing as a plain (and antisocial) human, while Felicia stays in her cute kitty form to avoid attracting unwanted attention. One of their neighbors casually sees Felicia in her normal form, but she assumes Felicia is just a plain woman wearing a sexy cat costume, visiting Jon for some, ah... ''fetish sex''.
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Usually. [[Media:Nw-felicia 8285.gif|Some older artworks]] are decidedly [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family|less cute]] about this.
* [[Dance Battler]]: Felicia's both a fighter and an exotic dancer.
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: As was shown in the UDON comic, the size and volume of Felicia's feet makes wearing shoes a painful and
* [[Dogpile of Doom]]: Her "Everybody Help!" Hyper Combo in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' has ''all'' her [[Cat Girl]] friends appear and decimate her opponent.
* [[Dying Race]]: She not the only Cat Woman left (she has several friends who appear in her combos), but her species numbers only in the hundreds. Simply put, Cat Women cannot replenish their species at present; mating with humans only results in human children. Thus, her species is quickly dying out.
* [[Exposed to the Elements]]: Felicia can fight anywhere in her [[Fur Bikini]], be it in the hot depths of the Makai, or the arctic regions of Canada/Japan.
* [[Failed Attempt At Drama]]: Some of her victory poses involve Felicia attempting to strike a dramatic stance, and after a couple of seconds bursting into laughter, getting distracted by moving objects, or having the moment ruined by one of her kitty helpers photobombing out from nowhere.
Line 223 ⟶ 219:
* [[For Happiness]]: Her outlook on life in a nutshell.
* [[Friend to All Children]]: Felicia loves children and wishes to take care of those who cannot defend themselves. In the UDON comic, she brings Jon to the orphanage she grew up in, and the children there were more than happy to see her. Jon also fell into this category after spending a night there.
* [[Full-Frontal Assault]]: Technically, her "costume" being patches of fur grown for a small modicum of modesty.
* [[Fur Bikini]]: In the American cartoon. In everything else, she has nothing but her own naturally-grown fur barely covering certain parts.
* [[Genki Girl]]: Her eccentricities sometimes approach [[Cloudcuckoolander]] levels.
* [[A Handful for an Eye]]: Although not intentionally, one of her specials involves kicking [[Ki Attacks|ki-infused]] sand at her opponent.
* [[Head Pet]]: She can actually jump on top of someone's head and they'll go into an idle pose.
* [[Humble Hero]]: In many of her game endings, Felicia achieves the fame and wealth she desires, only to give it all up in order to help the less fortunate.
* [[Idol Singer]]: What she aspired to be... or more specifically, her goal was to be the Western equivalent of it, a superstar diva starlet.
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]] ''and'' [[Ms. Fanservice]].
* [[Jiggle Physics]]: It's hard to notice at first, but she does indeed have very large breasts (the largest in the series in spite of what the anime and a lot of fanart may suggest), and they are in fact the only ones that bounce. They are bigger than [[Fatal Fury|Mai]] [[The King of Fighters|Shiranui]]'s by 1 cm. Just think about it.
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: In one of her supers, [[Hero Secret Service|Felicia calls for help]]. Four other catwomen (Pico, Alto, Grace
** Even deadlier is her "Everybody Help!" Hyper Combo in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'', where ''all seven'' of them attack the opponent.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Felicia (and male name counterpart Felix) means happiness. Fits well for Felicia since she wishes to coexist with humans in peace. There's also the obvious similarity with "feline" too.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Competes with Morrigan on this.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Her year of birth is given as 1967, the same year [https://poets.org/poet/edward-field Edward Field] wrote the poem ''Curse of the Cat Woman'', which can be read [https://poets.org/poem/curse-cat-woman here].
* [[Naughty Nuns]]: She becomes a nun in the ending of the third game, just like her [[Parental Substitute|foster parent]] Rose. Subverted, as while she's pretty much naked under that fur, she's merely a [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]].
* [[Non-Malicious Monster]]: Felicia's species is one of the few that are accepted by humans, mostly because she has tried her best to stay in the public spotlight her entire life as a performer. Her goal is peaceful coexistence with them, not just for Cat Women, but for ''all'' Darkstalkers.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: Felicia wants nothing more than to befriend humans; Talbain despised them. Despite this wildly different opinion of humans, both are close friends and allies.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Felicia was born in 1967, so she'd be over 40 right now, but still looks to be in her late teens to early twenties.
* [[One-Gender Race]]: The Catwoman race is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. They're able to reproduce with humans (and have been given rights like ordinary human citizens), but the offspring is always
* [[Orphanage of Love]]: Her ending in the third game shows her using her winnings to open one.
* [[Prehensile Tail]]: Felicia can use her tail to whip her opponents, or use it to hold her whole body up from her standing hard kick.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Felicia's hair reaches past her waist, and it encircles her whenever she flip jumps or does her Rolling Buckler. It also ''just'' happens to cover her bare butt from being seen during certain stances or when she's shown from behind.
Line 241 ⟶ 244:
* [[She Fu]]: Combines fighting with her natural cat-grace and flexibility. Some of her moves even flash her butt.
* [[She's Got Legs]]
* [[Ship Tease]]: She seems to be involved a lot with
** In the Chinese manhua adaptation, seems to be involved with both Jon Talbain AND Demitri.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
Line 249 ⟶ 252:
** "I hope I can have [[Street Fighter II|Blanka]] for my leading man!"
* [[Sideboob]]
* [[Sleep Mode Size]]: Her intro, as well
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Thin fur stripes. 'Nuff said.
* [[Thong of Shielding]]: Barely a thong at that, and she fights demons and monsters practically naked. Either way, she looks hot doing so!
* [[Underboobs]]: Some of her animation frames (such as her vertical kick) include this, purposely hiding her fur stripes.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifter]]: In some games, she can change herself into an ordinary white cat.
* [[Wall Jump]]er: With a twist. She can jump off of or cling to walls, but if she stays put for too long, she'll slide back down in typical cat fashion.
* [[Weak but Skilled]]: Only compared with the rest of the darkstalkers. Felicia is not as powerful as some heavy weigths like Morrigan, Jedah or Demitri (and that's not counting the likes of Pyron or Lord Raptor), but she is still a skilled martial artist and experienced fighter. Her attacks and moves usually has her using her agility, speed and martial arts skills to make a lethal combo on her foes.
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: In ''Namco X Capcom'', Felicia is paired with Tekken's King. One of their tag supers is a double Shining Wizard.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: She's got so much, you could lose yourself in it.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: By the time of the third game, thanks to Cecil's influence. The OVA presents a better case, as Huitzil's sibling robots valiantly fight a losing struggle against Pyron to save mankind.
* [[Humungous Mecha]]: In the first game, the battle with him takes place in a stage where a giant version of him is being built in the background; defeat him, and explosions start to erupt from it, indicating his plans to use it are foiled.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: He was originally a boss character, so...

The pack of Huitzils in the OVA band together to stop Pyron, as they see the value in humanity's existance. Unfortunately, they're unable to defeat Pyron.
Line 563 ⟶ 566:
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Many of his attacks involve drills, including his crouching light punch in every game, his crouching medium punch, crouching hard punch, and close-range standing medium kick in the first two games, and his pursuit attack in the third game.

=== Baby Bonnie Hood/Bulleta ===
[[File:bbhood 8175.gif|frame]]
Line 759 ⟶ 761:
Tropes associated with B.B. Hood/Bulleta:
* [[Assist Character]]:
* [[Ax Crazy]]: It is implied that is actually her extreme malevolence that allows her to damage Darkstalkers rather than the weaponry alone.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: In looks only.
Line 799 ⟶ 801:
* [[More Dakka]]: Her Cool Hunting special.
* [[Parts Unknown]]: Unlike most other characters in the series, her country of origin is never specified in [[Word of God|Capcom's official]] ''Darkstalkers Graphic File'', and is simply listed as [[wikipedia:Northern Europe|"Northern Europe"]] in her bio, which could be anywhere from Finland, Denmark, the U.K., Norway, etc. The anglicized nature of her name (Bonnie Hood) implies a [[Evil Brit|U.K.]] origin as being the most likely.
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: This is a game where some fighters are over seven feet tall; Bonnie is only 4'8', and she is capable of lifting and body-slamming any of them during one of her specials.
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: She's not just killing monsters for the sake of it, she's getting paid to.
* [[He Who Fights Monsters|She Who Fights Monsters]]: Inverted, being evil is what gives her the nerves for monster fighting in the first place and could be the only reason she can even hurt them.
Line 816 ⟶ 819:
* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: Her back-dash, where she runs away screaming in B-movie heroine mock-horror.
=== Lilith Aensland ===
[[File:lilith 9805.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|'''Class:''' Succubus
Line 834 ⟶ 836:
* [[A-Cup Angst]]: Moreso due to her feelings as an incomplete Morrigan. She could make herself just as pneumatic as her sister. Oddly enough, in ''Pocket Fighter''/''Super Gem Fighter: Mini Mix'' (the [[Super-Deformed]] cousin of ''[[Street Fighter]]''), Lilith seems to attract all the men, making ''Morrigan'' (to whom this ending belongs) jealous.
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: Similar to Morrigan, she is completely uncaring and cruel to humans in the Udon comics. This despite not having killed any human in canon just like Morrigan. She is also far more sadistic and less innocent than she was in the games, were she only followed Jedah on his plan to get back at Morrigan and had no idea about his scheming, in the comics she is totally willingly to help him to achieve his goal if he gets her and Morrigan united again. Unlike games, she doesn't even really changes her ways, as she only agrees to help Morrigan and the rest of the characters to defeat Jedah and Jill to get Morrigan to accept to fuse with her.
* [[Anything That Moves]]: She has the same suggestive win quotes against male, female and "other" characters.
* [[Artificial Human|Artificial Succubus]]: She has a soul, or part of one, but her body is artificial.
Line 842 ⟶ 845:
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: Not that she uses them much for this effect or that they would even act as much hindrance to a flier like herself.
* [[Creating Life]]: Albeit serendipitously; originally 1/3 of Morrigan's power, she developed self-awareness after being sealed away by Belial for so long. Jedah, discovering this, created a body for her and convinced her to work for him. See [[Cloning Blues]] above.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Think Morrigan, but even more benevolent. The only reason she was following Jedah in ''3'' was due to Jedah's manipulation. Averted in the comic adaptation, where she pretty much plays this trope straight.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Most of her victory quotes.
* [[Doppelganger Attack]]: Her Luminous Illusion super and Mirror Doll dark force.
Line 850 ⟶ 853:
* [[Fusion Dance]]: See Morrigan's entry.
* [[Genki Girl]]: In fact, her behavior sometimes boarders on infantile
* [[Horny Devils]]:
* [[Impossibly Low Neckline]]: Since it is a copy of her "sister's" outfit.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Technically speaking...]]
Line 864 ⟶ 866:
* [[Shapeshifter Weapon]]: Her wings.
* [[Shotoclone]]: [[Ryu and Ken|Sakura]] variant.
* [[
* [[Split At Birth]]: Her birth was the split, actually.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Basically a lolita-style version of Morrigan's outfit with a different colour scheme. She ''is'' technically a loli version of Morrigan, after all.
Line 871 ⟶ 873:
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: One of her post-match poses has her wearing a grade-B, with striped socks and [[Hell-Bent for Leather|a leather skirt and jacket]].
=== Jedah Dohma ===
[[File:jedah 3448.png|frame]]
{{quote|'''Class:''' Demon Lord/Ressurected as Dark Messiah
Line 925 ⟶ 926:
* [[Womb Level]]: His stage, the Fetus of God, is literally a fleshy structure, complete with ''an actual fetus'' resting in the background. It provides the trope picture, by the way, [[Tempting Fate|so click at your own risk]].
