Line 45:
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Since roughly ''age six''. She'll go far out of her way and ignore any boundary or consequence to help anyone in serious trouble, no matter who, whether or not they want her to.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]] There are times where Annie seems to operate on a completely different frequency from her classmates. This may be due to her lack of social skills from being raised in hospital most of her early life. {{spoiler|It may also have to do with her status as a [[Half-Human Hybrid]], and her interactions with Coyote.}} Either way Annie is [[Strange Girl|not exactly normal.]]
* [[Common Eye Colors]]
* [[Creepy Child]]: She's perceived as such by her classmates.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Emphasis on the [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=579 deadpan]. She isn't yet very good with one-liners.
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
* [[Kid with the Leash]]: Towards Reynardine, to the extent of [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=general&thread=361&post=11336 leaving instructions to not mess up when she's absent]. If Annie dies, [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=general&thread=361&post=11892 the ownership passes on to someone else she decides.] Kat and Jones {{spoiler|the latter during Annie's time in Gillitie Wood}} also took care of him for her at times.
** The ownership gets nullified [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=general&thread=361&post=11349 if Annie orders him to take a new body which isn't controlled by her] or [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=general&thread=361&post=11361 if Annie steals a body for him to take, which isn't of her own property].
<!-- %% The part of the ownership break belongs to a different trope, although I can't remember which one. -->
* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]: Concerning just about '''[[Paranoia Fuel|EVERYTHING]]'''. Including her very nature and the issues of life-and-death importance to her. After all, it would be ''awkward''.
* [[Loose Lips]]: She never thinks about consequences when angry. Since the relations between the Court and the Wood is one big old minefield, this endangers not just herself. Trickster gods generally don't hold back much, so Annie was given a lesson of silence [[Explosive Leash|the hard way]].
Line 89 ⟶ 87:
** [[Psychoactive Powers]]: Her ability to manipulate fire seems to be tied to her inner passion.
** [[Wreathed in Flames]]: She learned the [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=412 trick] with [[Cold Flames|torch-hand]] when she experimented with Blinker stone. Much more so in her winged etheric form - she produces great flames merged with herself.
* [[Power Incontinence]]: After her attempt tomake herself ''more'' stoic, and while still learning to use her powers on her own Annie ended up not only in a bad shape mentally and physically, but also with her fire on a hair trigger and began to occasionally [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1621 incinerate things].
* [[Rage Breaking Point]]: Happens to her twice.
* [[Redheaded Hero]] / [[Fiery Redhead]]: ''Literally.'' Tom even says that [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=general&thread=361&post=11772 it isn't a common hair color].
Line 106 ⟶ 105:
* [[Weirdness Magnet]]: Annie's curiosity and desire to help constantly puts her in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's implied to be a typical property of a natural medium.
{{quote|'''The Headmaster:''' Tell me, do you find strange things seem to happen around you?}}
* [[Wound That Will Not Heal]]: Got it from Jeanne after falling into the ravine. Present for the ethereal vision and serves as the main indicator of this—at least, normallywhen things are not [[Mind Screw|too mixed up]].
 
 
Line 137 ⟶ 136:
* [[Head Pet]]: Not really, but {{spoiler|[[Mind Screw|when one of Zimmy's illusions is in play, a pigeon is visible on her head, echoing her thoughts]]}}.
* [[Hot for Teacher]]: "[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=87 It's not everyday you find out your games teacher is some kinda big, handsome, dragon slayer guy!]"
* [[If It's You It's Okay]]: {{Spoiler|All her crushes were for men and boys ... until Paz....}}
* [[Living Emotional Crutch]]: For Annie.
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=112 Here, 5th panel.]
Line 142:
* [[The Messiah]]: To the robots, or at least [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=900 Robot.]
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=925 By Paz.] Unlike most other examples of this trope being used for comedy, this serves the purpose of setting up a sub-plot of Kat becoming unconfident with her sexuality, later attempting to present herself as more girly by wearing a [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics|generic flower hairpin]] and Annie's clothes. According to Zimmy, rumors about her are circulating among the "rats", and other characters have commented as if she really ''was'' gay and it was just something that has always been.
** After Chapter 42 and especially [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1274 45], {{spoiler|it's not a mistake anymore. And '''with''' Paz}}.
** [[Ambiguously Gay]]: She's clearly more comfortable [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=970 with being herself] when nobody is around in her own environment, without trying to present herself as girly.
* [[Muggle Best Friend]]: Well, as mugglish as a gadgeteer genius can be. And it's inverted when it comes to robotics, where Antimony has ''no'' clue what's going on.
* [[Oh Crap]]: InWhen reactionshe torealizes, from ''Annie's'' [[Oh Crap]], when she realizesthat the giant crab is, indeed, real.
* [[Otaku Surrogate]]: She often becomes excessively enthusiastic about wide variety of things.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Originally, in the middle. After her [[Character Development]], more of Blue Oni, though still a [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: For Parley/Andrew. And even more hilariously so, {{spoiler|Juliette/Arthur}}
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: With Alistair. This seems to have made her something of a bird enthusiast... or possible [[fetish]]ist.
* [[Teen Genius]]:
Line 154 ⟶ 155:
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]
* [[Wrench Wench]]: The outfit she's most comfortable in seems to be a mechanic's boilersuit. Sometimes holds a literal wrench.
 
 
== Annie's Inner Circle ==
Line 213:
* [[Metaphoric Metamorphosis]]: [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=158 Uh... Oh geez... <tombstone>]
* [[Monster Clown]]: How he was able to scare Paz in Chapter 4.
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Until Chapter 47, all that was known about his death was that he apparently died for his country. That turned out to be an exaggeration: he died {{spoiler|as a young boy while trying to warn Jones she was in danger. She wasn't, actually}}. He ''was'' killed by a German bomb in one of the World Wars.
* [[Shape Shifter]]
** [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]
Line 288:
* [[Dude Magnet]]: Three different guys fell for her, one of them not even human.
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: And yet, the most traditionally heroic of her three suitors doesn't marry her.
* [[Hidden Heart of Gold]]: Surma is ready to go out of her way to help her friends... [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1866 uh... if it's important an' all].
* {{spoiler|[[Honey Trap]]: She lured Renard into the court by makingflirting him think she lovedwith him.}}
* [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]: She was beautiful and was quite popular at some point - "[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=489 All people in the Forest]" loved her and people in the Court remember her with admiration and/or awe. She actively used her charisma, at least {{spoiler|in the [[Honey Trap]] gambit with Renard}}, but was generally nice to peopleher friends, excludingand a fury ever ready to get medieval on onea jerk.
* [[The Matchmaker]]: Pushed together Anja and Donald who liked each others, but were shy about it. "Those two ended up married, you know."
* [[Meaningful Name]]: The name Surma Stibnite is probably the single most symbolically-dense name in the whole comic. Stibnite (from Latin "stibium" for antimony) is an ore containing the element antimony, used as a component in cosmetics at least from [[Ancient Egypt]]. Surma's meaning depends on the language: in Russian and several other slavic tongues, it's another name for antimony; in Punjabi, it's another name for kohl, anstibnite based eye-shadow containing antimony (used in some cultures to protect infants from The Evil Eye); in Finnish, it's a word for ''death''.
* [[Mysterious Parent]]: Surma's powers are more mysteries to the readers than to Annie, but Annie had no idea of her mum's career at the Court, or of her true nature.
* [[Posthumous Character]]: She died just before Annie was sent off to the Court (so right before the story begins).
Line 305 ⟶ 306:
What is known about Tony: He attended the Court, and was in Queslett House, the same year as Surma. He and Surma married and left the Court, and did not maintain contact with their friends/acquaintances who remained. He worked as a surgeon at Good Hope hospital, the same hospital where his daughter was born and his wife was bedridden. For twelve years, he searched in vain for a way to save Surma from impending death. Shortly after his daughter's enrollment at the Court, he quit his job at Good Hope and completely dropped off the map.
 
What others have said about him has not been positive: Donald Donlan says that his disappearance has precedent—that he had a habit of taking off on his own for months at a time without telling anyone. James Eglamore (who admittedly [[Love Triangle|may not be completely impartial]]) claims that he had always been selfish. Jones (another possibly unreliable source, as she admitted to [[I Shall Taunt You|deliberately trying to provoke Annie with this information]]) claimed that he was completely devoid of emotion and that he rejected anything—such as his wife's skills as a Medium—that wouldn't permit [[Magic Versus Science|a scientific explanation]]. Reynardine (incapable of lying, but not necessarily a good judge of character) stated that Tony was incapable of love, or of experiencing anything besides disdain. It's painfully (mostly, for Annie) evident that he's very bad at communicating with people.
 
Prior to Chapter 37, he only appeared in-comic twice, both in [[Flash Back|flashbacks]]. In the first, he was present for a group photo alongside Surma, Anja, Brinnie, Donald, and James. He declined to join James and Donald for lunch immediately afterwards, claiming he had “[[Spock Speak|matters to attend to]].” In the second, he was crying at his wife's bedside; he composed himself and silently left the room upon realizing that his daughter was watching. The chapter proper has Donald, apparently his closest friend, reveal the personality hidden beneath his usual stoic mask.
Line 313 ⟶ 314:
* [[The Atoner]]: For agreeing to {{spoiler|have a child with Surma, which he knew inevitably caused her death}}. Even moreso if he knew this prior to doing so. {{spoiler|1=On the other hand, [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=815 he may blame Annie as well.]}}
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: {{spoiler|1=After one thousand pages and two in-story years, [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1002 he finally contacts Annie] [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1011 ...to pass a message to Donnie] [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1016 ...and to hear his daughter's voice again.]}}
* [[Hubris]]: Not the blustering type at all, but from what we have seen, his main blind spot is consistent failure to consider other possibilities if one explanation supports his own importance. Evidently he doesn't suspect the reason for a long, important yet not time-constrained mission far away from the Court may be simply that [[Reassigned to Antarctica|someone wanted him to go away and stay away]] (despite most people disliking him), and until and unless hard facts not just stare in his face, but knock him off his feet, seems to be never have doubted that:
*# saving his wife somehow was entirely in his reach;
*# the Court officials told him pure truth to let him ride in and save the situation (rather than plan to use him as a pawn and throw to the dogs if things go Coyote-shaped);
*# they bother to spy on him once he returned;
*# his countermeasures for the above are entirely adequate despite him being out of the loop for more than a decade and the Court being more or less a [[Mad Scientist]] institute;
*# weird creatures he met must be who he wanted to meet and they want to help him - rather than, say, some [[Fair Folk]] messing with him.
* [[Jerkass]]:
** He comes off as cold and arrogant to most people, though his closest friend swears he has [[Jerkass With a Heart of Gold|a Heart of Gold]] and just isn't good with people.
** In the recent present, he abandoned his daughter soon after his wife's death {{spoiler|and only briefly spoke to her after two years}}. We don't yet know why, but he's not going to win any awards for great parenting from Kat for how much this has hurt Annie.
** Most people quickly start to dislike him, and don't stop. It's very consistent. When {{spoiler|Kat, with her [[Otaku Surrogate|fangirlish]] impulsiveness}} suddenly acts friendly with him, Annie is shocked and perplexed, and is more ready to believe that he dabbles in mind control than that previous deep loathing reverted naturally.
*** This led into a [[Whole-Episode Flashback]], Chapter 64, which reveals that when {{Spoiler|he's with '''only one person''' at a time, he typically becomes open, cheerful, and charming}}. The exception is Antimony, because of My Greatest Failure below.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Carver. He's a surgeon.
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: Surma's death; he'd believed he could prevent it. '''This''' is why he's been avoiding Annie, and since he came back so cold to her: "How could she live with the man that killed her mother?" Those are '''''his''''' words....
* [[Mysterious Parent]]
* [[Not So Stoic]]: Apparently, he did have a sensitive side, but Surma and Donny may very well have been the only people who ever saw it.
* [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]]: Good enough with etheric sciences to teleport himself, competentCompetent enough in electronics and physics to have created a satellite in high school, and a medical doctor on top of that.
* [[Present Absence]]: As of Chapter 51, he's back.
* [[Spock Speak]]: If [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=540 his first line in-comic] is an accurate representation... "who talks like that?"
* [[Straw Vulcan]]: [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1013 Passionate talking about passions not making a sense to him].
* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: To most people Tony is so quiet and reserved that he comes off as rather cold. Around his best friend Donald, however, [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1013 he has no problem dropping the stoic mask.]
** In a conversation with Donald in Chapter 53, Anthony refers to Eglamore by his first name, James. This implies that in some degree, and despite what Eglamore thinks of him, Anthony thinks of Eglamore, too, as a friend.
 
 
Line 329 ⟶ 340:
[[File:s Anja and Donald Donlan 8621.jpg|frame]]
 
Kat's parents. Both of them are [[Magic Versus Science|science teachers and magicians]] (Donald isn't a magic user as such, but see below).
 
When they were younger, both attended school at the Court. Like Surma, Anja spent her first year in Chester and was subsequently transferred to Queslett. She was close friends with Surma, [[Generation Xerox|a friendship that mirrored the one her daughter would eventually have with Surma's daughter.]] Donald was a Queslett student from the start, and a friend of James and Anthony. Upon becoming classmates, Anja and Donald hit off almost immediately, dated steadily through school, eventually wed, and have remained [[Happily Married]] since.
Line 341 ⟶ 352:
** She later {{spoiler|made some sort of magical computer with a similar effect}}, so adult Donald also can make a barrier strong enough to [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=285 repel Ysengrin's attack.]
* [[Bonnie Scotland]]: Donald, according to [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=361&page=40#20411 Tom].
* [[Common Eye Colors]]: Inverted.
* [[Expressive Mask|Expressive]] [[Eye Glasses]]: [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1011 Donald].
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Anja.
Line 418 ⟶ 428:
* [[Badass Boast]]: Jones proves that one doesn't need to be long-winded, eloquent, or loud to deliver one of these when she tells Coyote (a ''god'') that {{spoiler|she could take Annie back to the Court against his wishes, inside his own domain.}}
{{quote|[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID{{=}}818 "You know I can take her if I wish."]}}
* [[Black Eyes]]: the color of obsidian, they fit her emotionless nature.
* [[British Accents]]: [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=361&page=40#20411 Pointedly averted by Tom]—to the point of her being devoid of an accent—to emphasize her enigmatic nature.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: The first reference to Jones (her office door, with her name on it, is shown in Ch 8) was so subtle that none of the readers noticed it until after Jones herself appeared in-comic.
Line 423 ⟶ 434:
** Her [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=841 cameo] in ''City Face 2''.
** In ''Microsat 5'', Donald stole her phone to trace Anthony's call. Her deadpan reaction when she needs to make a call is hilarious.
* [[Common Eye Colors]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Not frequently, but ''[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=478 how]''. Sometimes it's hard to tell for sure -- "[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1000 Full of subtlety]"? "''[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1001 Very bright]'' young man"?
* [[Emotionless Girl]]
Line 441 ⟶ 451:
* [[The Stoic]]
* [[Team Mom]]
* {{spoiler|[[Time Abyss]]: [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1113 "You ... were there at the formation of the Earth?"]}}
* [[The Un-Reveal]]: Ysengrin explained to Annie what Jones was over the summer break she stayed in the Woods. Reynardine comments that she's "interesting company."
* [[The Un-Smile]]: "I can mimic the facial movements for a smile, but I tend to avoid it, as it often leaves the onlooker somewhat unnerved." Annie asked to see it anyway, and was still "somewhat unnerved" hours later.
* [[Walk, Don't Swim]]: She prefers to walk across the lake bottom rather than trust her weight to a rickety pier. She can't swim because her body is too dense.
Line 457 ⟶ 467:
 
=== Juliette ===
[[Meganekko|A fine lady in glasses]] working in the Court with the Shadow Men (security, operating "ether stations"). Accompanied by a humanoid robot friend. When idle, they amuse themselves by playing amateur theater without viewers.
 
* [[Dark-Skinned Redhead]]
* [[Meganekko]]
* [[Robosexual]] for Arthur, [http://gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1845 complete with flower border].

{{quote|'''Kat:''' ''Self''-regulated?! That just means they can do what they want!
'''Paz:''' ''No!'' You see, to do that, they would have to get through ''me'' first. }}
* [[Heart Is an Awesome Power]]: In one chapter, an adversary thought Paz's ability to communicate with animals made her no threat to its plans. Genre Savvy readers immediately realized this enemy was about to get "smacked in the face with the [[Aquaman]] lesson." Awesomely.
{{quote|"Que no soy una amenaza?" ("I'm not a threat?")}}
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Paz's level-headed little speech about working within the system to make the Court better took a lot of readers—who had previously thought of Paz simply as a Chew Toy—by surprise.
* [[If It's You It's Okay]]: After her crush on Matt, and her "I'm not ... that way" reaction to [[Mistaken for Gay|what she '''thought''' was an advance from Kat]], {{Spoiler|she later realized she '''is''' "that way" ... for Kat.}}
* [[Internal Reformist]]:
{{quote|The Court isn't a big monster that does as it pleases. Es a collection of people. Working to do what they think is right. And, over time, other people see what is wrong, what mistakes were made, and work hard to fix them. I cry too, when I find this place. But I ask to help. To change things and make them better.}}
* [[Smitten Teenage Girl]]: She gets a rather ferocious (unreciprocated) crush on Matt at the start of year 3.
* [[Speaks Fluent Animal]]
* [[What Beautiful Eyes!]]: When Antimony gave Mort tips on scaring people, Paz was his first victim. The [[Monster Clown]] he produced brandished a rusty saw and said, in Spanish Annie taught him, "What lovely eyes you have, Paz. [[Eye Scream|Will you give them to me?]]"
 
 
Line 578 ⟶ 592:
* [[Creepy Child]]
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]/[[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Zimmy doesn't like her real name.
* [[Eye Tropes]]: Applicable to Zimmy, we have:
** [[Hidden Eyes]]
Line 626 ⟶ 640:
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Blue. She's not human, of course, but her human form looks like someone of Indian ethnicity.
* [[Buffy-Speak]]: Red describes rooms and chairs as "big boxes" and "sitty-downy things", respectively.
* [[Common Eye Colors]]: Inverted.
* [[Emergent Human]]: Red shows signs of this; namely, when she learns that you can cut your hair, and then assumes that you can cut ''anything'' of "these bodies" and [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=325 attempts to cut off her finger]
* [[The Fair Folk]]: Even after being turned into humans Red and Blue can be alien enough to leave Kat and even Annie round-eyed and slack-jawed. [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=332 Love for mischief] is one of more [[Comedic Sociopathy|endearing and understandable]] traits of ex-fairies.
Line 640 ⟶ 653:
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Red is definitely the more fiery of the two while Blue is more pouty and vindictive.
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: Hard to tell. They're considered best friends and are also [[Cuddle Bug]]s. While they were fairies, they literally were hanging all over each other. Now that they're human, it's different—but they get moments of [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=995 devoted adoration], though [[Tsundere|interlaced]] with [[Vitriolic Best Buds|taunting and fighting]].
** Blue even [[Luminescent Blush|blushes]] when Red [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1704 praises her].
* [[Tsundere]]: In different ways, both are rude, yet caring about each other and occasionally enthusiastic or helpful to others.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Other fairies see their taunts and fighting as signs of attachment.
{{quote|'''Cyan'''-haired, '''[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID{{=}}1003 This Girl]''': ([[Tearful Smile|wiping a tear]]) Such... such good friends...}}

* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Zimmy, at first. Annie, after the incidents of ''Chapters 27 & 28: Spring Heeled''.
** {{spoiler|Turns out it's still Zimmy.}}
** In Chapter 49, he shows up with a girlfriend, Jenny—who several people at first mistake for Zimmy.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Quite a bit of his appearances show him wearing a trenchoat, to the point of being iconic for the fandom.
Line 731 ⟶ 744:
** [[Fighting From the Inside]]: Until {{spoiler|a calmed Zimmy destroys the spider}}.
{{quote|'''Zimmy:''' {{spoiler|But he put up a fight}}.}}
** [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]] / [[Sanity Slippage]]: His brief odyssey through Zimmy's mental hellscape seemed to have had serious effects on {{spoiler|his mind}}. His appearance became progressively more ragged, and his behavior increasingly unnerving. {{spoiler|The bulk of this was due to the spider's presence}}.
** [[Gotta Catch Em All]]: To secure its control over Jack, {{spoiler|the spider}} had to control all the pieces of his mind/soul/whatever. {{spoiler|It failed.}}
** [[Hannibal Lecture]]: He pulls one of these on Kat and Annie in this state.

* [[Cat Smile]]: Lily wears this as one more accessory.
Line 769 ⟶ 782:
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Lily goes by "Cookie Monster" as a riff on her surname.
* [[Multicolored Hair]]: Lily rocks blue streaks in her purple hair.
* [[Perky Goth]]: Lily. Her style is also evidently "[https://web.archive.org/web/20111217182744/http://www.formspring.me/gunnerkrigg/q/253845298210683534 a little inspired by]" the ex-[[The Fair Folk|fairies]].

* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: [http://www.formspring.me/gunnerkrigg/q/293654759934533599 Went out]{{Dead link}} with Jeanne "when they were younger."
