For Good/Characters: Difference between revisions

=== Erin Elisheba Frame {{spoiler|Darkmatter}} ===

* [[The Ace]]: {{spoiler|Beat an apparently [[Unwinnable Training Simulation]],}} surprising her teammates with her tactics.

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Subverted in that {{spoiler|she didn't know Warp was Warp when they first met}}. It's up for debate whether Erin would really have wanted a romantic relationship with Warp if their first couple of meetings had been in a firefight with the two on opposite sides.

* [[Ascended Fangirl]]: Erin, from fangirl to Ranger - pretty much the original reason for the whole thing: a fangirl who has to make a life for herself in the [[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command|BLoSC]]-verse.

* [[Fish Out of Water|Fish out of Temporal Water]]

* [[Forgotten Fallen Friend|Forgotten Family]]: As one reviewer [http://blosc.forumotion.com/t380-fanfiction-reviews#11030 pointed out], Erin seems to forget about her family. The author admitted to the reviewer that, in the long course of writing the fic (the rewrite has been going since early 2010), she actually forgot about the Frame family!

* [[Happily Adopted]]: By Buzz Lightyear, of all people (and by Mira, as an honorary sister).

* [[Held Gaze]]: Warp could tell you that Erin is pretty good at this.

* [[Hidden Depths]]

* [[Important Haircut]]: Played with. In the original series, Erin's hair was waist-length, in the [[Long Hair Is Feminine]] tradition. However, in ''Breakaway'', her long hair is burnt in the first chapter and ''must'' be cut. She does not let it grow back, out of sheer pragmatism - ''long hair gets in the way''.

* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: Despite the fact that Erin's getting a bit [[Darker and Edgier]], she will ''always'' be pure in heart. It's just a long-established part of her character.

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: With Warp(the shipping label is "Dare").

* [[Jumped At the Call]]: Buzz initially tries to discourage Erin from becoming a Ranger, but, having literally nowhere else to turn, [[Challenge Seeker|she overrides his objections]].

* [[Love Redeems]]: Another long-established part of Erin's character... {{spoiler|her love helps Warp to make a [[Heel Face Turn]].}}

* [[Must Have Caffeine]]: In ''Watermark'', she averted this trope - now she lives and breathes it.

* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: Erin shoots for this at times.

* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: And an effective user of them, as well.

* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: The best example of this is the use of Erin's scoliosis - a condition she shares with the author - as a plot point.

* [[Secret Relationship]]: Buzz doesn't know Erin is keeping in touch with {{spoiler|Warp Darkmatter before the dinner party. To be fair, Erin doesn't know, herself.}}

** {{spoiler|Nor does Zurg.}}

* [[Take a Third Option]]

 

=== Rikaena "Ricki" Amata Sunflare ===

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]

* [[Badass Bookworm]]: She's an alien ''Sherlockian''.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Ricki warns Windy to stop pushing her buttons before Ricki decides to... make her stop...

* [[Child Prodigy]]: Graduated at age 14, entered college the next semester, got her M.S. in astrophysics ''before'' entering the Academy at age ''19''.

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Like Erin, dark coloring in a dark cadet uniform.

* [[Death Glare]]

* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: Ricki's second-scene-ever has her performing a [[Sherlock Scan]] on Erin, after being established as a [[Child Prodigy|prodigy]].

* [[Expy]]: As with Erin, an in-universe example, due to roleplaying [[The Spock|Mr. Spock]].

* [[Purple Eyes]]: Ricki is described as having prominent violet eyes, the color and size contrasting sharply in one scene with Erin's very normal, very human [[Brown Eyes]].

* [[Sherlock Scan]]: Ricki isn't ''just'' a Sherlockian - she's a Sherlockian who can do the same kind of analysis Holmes did.

* [[The Spock]]: Though Ricki goes more for [[Memetic Mutation|the idea of Spock's ''friendships'' with Kirk and McCoy than playing the trope straight]].

* [[Tomboyish Name|Tomboyish Nickname]]

 

* [[Deep South]]: Her point of origin.

* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: Windy's first scene establishes her very well as impatient, [[Deadpan Snarker|sarcastic]], and [[Genre Savvy]].

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[The McCoy]]: See [[Expy]] above.

* [[The Medic]]: Specifically studying battle surgery to be one of the few Space Rangers actually certified to do so.

* [[Odd Friendship]]: With each of her dorm-mates: something like occasional partners-in-crime with Erin, one-sided antagonism with Ricki, and just plain friendship with the much more [[The Idealist|idealistic Ice]].

 

=== Isadore "Ice" Ellemore ===

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]

* [[Blue Eyes]]: Of the aquamarine variety.

* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: The same scene that introduces Windy also introduces Ice... as a [[Genre Blind]], [[Naive Newcomer]].

* [[Fan Girl]]: Of [[Jeremy Brett|Jeremy Brett's]] [[Sherlock Holmes]]... and Princess Mira.

* [[Genre Blind]]: Thanks to her [[Fantastic Racism|"Tangean Isolationist"]] parents. The other girls are helping her [[Character Development|overcome it]]... slowly.

* [[The Idealist]]

* [[Naive Newcomer]]/[[Fish Out of Water]]

* [[Odd Friendship]]: With the much more [[The Cynic|cynical Windy]].

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Ice is a Tangean Royal and a longtime [[Fan]] of her princess, none other than Space Ranger Mira Nova.

* [[Running Gag]]: Her [[Genre Blind|cultural ignorance]].

* [[Expy]]: Of [[Indiana Jones]], [[Captain Obvious|obviously]].

* [[Foil]]: Possibly to Erin, as both seem to be [[The Leader]] in their respective teams.

* [[Nice Guy]]

* [[Textual Celebrity Resemblance]]: To [[Harrison Ford]].

 

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Spanish, [[Captain Obvious|of couse]].

* [[Brown Eyes]]

* [[The Smart Guy|The Smart-mouthed Guy]]

 

=== Eda-Ji-Kep ===

* [[The Big Guy]]

* [[Genre Blind]]

* [[The Stoic]]

 

=== Clutch Donnell ===

* [[The Lancer]]/[[The Smart Guy]]: Apparently smarter than Cody, and seems to be Indy's second-in-command.

 

 

* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: To his adopted sis.

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: He can speak Spanish with Erin (this was written before ''Toy Story 3's'' release).

* [[Can Not Tell a Lie]]: At least, has major problems doing so.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Averted - the infamous "To infinity and beyond!" is never used in the fics.

* [[Character Development]]: One of the [[Word of God|long-established purposes of the series]] is to [[Dynamic Character|develop Buzz's characterization]] by giving him a sister. The original story, for all its faults, did well in this regard by showing enough scenes with Buzz and Erin that would bring them to a close sibling relationship. ''Breakaway'' still shows Buzz [[Adorkable|awkward with his new-found sibling status]] in the beginning, and it also shows Buzz giving Erin a [[Big Brother Instinct|brotherly hug]] before she enters the Academy. On the other hand, a lot of the development of the original version in-between the two points in time is lost, including driving lessons and pancakes.

* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]

* [[Famed in Story]]/[[Living Legend]]: [[Captain Obvious|Duh.]]

* [[Fearless Fool]]/[[I Like Those Odds]]

* [[Compressed Hair]]: Inside her thermal hood.

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: To Erin, in practice.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Fandom Nod]]: Mira actually does this when she lists some Zurg [[Fan Girl|fangirls]] at the "dinner party".

* [[Fearless Fool]]

* [[Genre Savvy]]

* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]

* [[Intangible Man|Intangible Woman]]

* [[Missing Mom]]

* [[Modest Royalty]]: From the way she usually acts, one would hardly guess that Mira is actually royalty.

* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Person]]/[[Team Mom]]

* [[Red Headed Heroine]]

* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]

* [[Large Ham]]/[[Evil Is Hammy]]

* [[Parental Abandonment]]

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]

* [[Wicked Cultured]]: [[Bing Crosby]], [[The Sound of Music]], comic books... well, it's not [[Wicked Cultured]] in the ''traditional'' sense of the word, but he's an ''alien'' emperor, for crying out loud! He's ''that'' interested in thousand-year-old human pop-culture!

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]

* [[Death Glare]]

* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]

* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: His cousin Sierra and her son Kit... as well as "Aunt Z".

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Made a bit painfully clear in what's commonly known as the dinner party chapter.

* {{spoiler|1=[[Heel Face Turn]]/[[Love Redeems]]}}

* [[I Need a Freaking Drink]]:

'''Warp:''' Nope. }}

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: With Erin.

* [[Large Ham]]/[[Evil Is Hammy]]

* [[Love Hurts]]: Like crazy.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: As long as Zomega is away from [[The Red Planet|Planet Z]], he is so very much this.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Was orphaned in the middle of high school by a speeder crash.

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Almost always featured in dark clothing.

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]

* [[Heroic Neutral]]: What she's been for most of her life.

* [[Older and Wiser]]: She's old enough to be Warp's mom, and she acts like it, at times.

* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Person]]: On [[The Red Planet|Planet Z]], even when Warp's around. See [[Team Mom]] below.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Hence her adoption as a royal ward.

* [[Purple Eyes]]: Zomega's one natural eye is described as indigo, a flexible name that could describe a dark blue or a blue-purple. It is actually her one visible human trait.

* [[Sherlock Scan]]: Can do this - whether ''because'' of her cyberbrain or not is unclear.

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: One of the few women in the galaxy willing to be involved with Zurg.

* [[Super Strength]]

* [[Take a Third Option]]

* [[Team Mom]]: Well, with Zurg being a weird [[A Father to His Men|Father to His Men]], ''somebody's'' got to do it.

* [[You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry]]
