Line 1,180:
Did not have time for return yet, but she's clearly set up for this. At very least as the most obvious candidate for an important position, because someone will have to run the weasel menagerie after she and her charges will be "unfrozen" and healed properly.
----
* [[The Beast Master (trope)|The Beast Master]]: The Vespiary's weasel handler.
* [[Berserker Tears]]: Of course she ''is'' distraught - they've hurt her weasels.
* [[The Hunter]]: Mostly took care of the weasels, but she ''is'' a dedicated and trained Vesper.
Line 1,270 ⟶ 1,271:
** Grandmother also got that close to {{spoiler|Zola}} in the first place by pulling a ninja swap, as she'd standing arm-in-arm with Tarvek until suddenly noticing that Tarvek had vanished and Grandmother had her by the arm instead. Given that {{spoiler|Zola}} is herself a high-end Smoke Knight and that sort of off-panel substitution maneuver is Violetta's signature move, its strongly implied that Grandmother is a ''very'' high-end Smoke Knight.
* [[No Name Given]]: Until old Voltaire met her, she was mentioned only as "Grandmother" or by title. Given that most of the clan seems to be trained as Smoke Knights, it's likely to also be an allusion to [[The Hashshashin|"the Grandfather" of Assassins]].
* [[Properly Paranoid]]: The quote at the start of this character section is Mr. Obsidian's response to Grandmother ''stabbing him in the
{{quote|'''Grandmother:''' Oh, spare me the outrage. Disguises are easy, and anyone can learn a code phrase.}}
Line 1,288 ⟶ 1,289:
=== Dimitri Vapnoople / Dr. Dim ===
----
* [[The Beast Master (trope)|The Beast Master]]: Used to be "[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20181116 the greatest monster wielder of the century]".
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: He's just an unsettling evidence of Klaus's unsavoury experiments. Then we find out what sort of things he was making before plush bears (or even Krosp). And that Martellus used to be his apprentice. That he managed to ''really upset'' Albia, too (and survive). And that he was dealing with [[Cosmic Horror|otherworldly]] monsters…
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: We are introduced to the pitiful post-lobotomy version of the guy. Vapnoople used to be quite tough and aggressive, even for a Spark.
** Eventually Dr. Vapnoople is cured by the intervention of an extradimensional entity. He then goes on to fight and resoundingly defeat a
* [[Evil Mentor]]: Wants to be one to Agatha. After all, he and Agatha's grandfather were fraternity buddies! Even when Agatha ''fights'' him he just praises her on her combat ability and says it's good that she can take care of herself.
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: He does not exactly have ill will toward the people he doesn't see as rivals, but made monsters because humanity as the uncontested apex predator tend to go decadent. Of course, his idea of optimal evolutionary pressure is so crazy even his creations can see it.
Line 1,304 ⟶ 1,305:
* [[Expy]]: Whimsical, brightly-colored God-queen who loves practical jokes and is simultaneously worshipped yet seen as mostly harmless by her subjects, who is actually a terrifyingly ancient and wise being who maintains this facade because she doesn't want to frighten the mortals around her? Are we talking about Albia of England or [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Princess Celestia]]?
** Ever since the [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200501 candy hair incident], some fans have been calling her "Trollbia". As in 'Trollestia'.
* [[God-Emperor]]: One of the last Immortal God-Queens<ref>A few of the old ladies survived, but are hiding. Lucrezia (as The Other) may have reached the same power level, and even killed several God-Queens, but she didn't perfect this (and is somewhat bitter about Albia not having her problems), and in other ways still is a fake in the boots of a giantess
** Albia and those trying to "ascend" like her consider this ''sufficiently godlike'' state the next stage beyond Spark, even calling the process of attaining it the "''second'' breakthrough".
* [[Hidden Depths]]: We've already known that Albia was powerful, whimsical, charismatic, and even serious when it came time to really throw down, but during the grand ball sequence Albia suddenly started being ''devious'' as well... to the point that she had three of the most devious members of the most devious family in Europa (the Valois, of course) all hopelessly split up, distracted, and chasing shiny diversions instead of spotting the intrigue in progress in ''five minutes''.
Line 1,322 ⟶ 1,323:
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: She was barely saved by Sianna's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] when the enemy came for the Queens. Now ''unlike other surviving God-Queens'' Albia sends her representatives and explorers everywhere and doesn't hide who and what she is. Which delivers an implicit yet obvious challenge: "I'm right here — go on, come at me ''now''". And when she met {{spoiler|Lucrezia ([[Grand Theft Me|sort of]])}} the next time, Albia specifically made a point that she was preparing for their eventual rematch:
{{quote|(deflects lightning) We have ''learned'', demon. You will not kill ''Us'' that easily!}}
* [[You Kill It, You Bought It]]: Albia started with spying upon and deposing the neighbour "Witch Queen" Lozz who was raiding her people. Then she walked to the mirror... The rest seem to have decided Albia is easy to deal with (she
=== Princess Neena ===
One of the British Royal Princesses. Dark skin, wavy black hair, blue eyes, rather short — much like [https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200605 one of] Albia's current favourite shapes. [https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200504 First appearance]: right before the great ball. Have studied in Paris, seems to specialize in ancient history. Accidentally helped to move the [[Myth Arc]] along by fussing around when Zeetha was sparring with Bang.

* [[Love Dodecahedron]]: In the second layer. Neena [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200506 hotly defends the notion that "Prince Tarvek is nice"], then it turns out they [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200817 are on very good terms] back from Paris and then she tempts him with one of his obsessions to spend more time together.
* [[Not Me This Time]]: Has a reputation for making mess in museums, overblown but [https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200817 not ''entirely'' unjustified].
* [[Tomboy Princess]]: At least, Enthusiastic Adventuring Princess. She is [https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20201113 excitable] and [https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200504 easily bored by Court functions] (or just restless in general). We have seen her in a fancy dress on a sort-of-official event, but otherwise she prefers [https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20201111 pants-blouse-corset-jacket ensemble]. Either way, her colors are light or greenish blue and gold.
