> OPEN CAST CABINET: UNDERDOCUMENTED AND EXTRANEOUS FILES

You open the last draw of your cast cabinet to see a mess of unsorted papers documenting miscellaneous figures. Upon reviewing them, you're not sure if you'd want to categorize them at all.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Assorted Animal Sidekicks

Caption

Over the course of their adventure, the kids (and some other characters) come into possesion of a number of animal sidekicks. In order of appearance, they are MAPLEHOOF, a beautiful pony given to Rose by her mom, SERENITY, a firefly appearified out of amber by WV, VODKA MUTINI, a friendly mutant kitten found in the lab near Rose's house, a small murder of RAMBUNCTIOUS CROWS who burst through the window of Dave's apartment, and CASEY, a salamander from the Land of Wind and Shade who played the part of Cameron Poe's daughter in one of John's emotionally charged Con Air reenactments.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Ambiguous Gender: John isn't quite sure what gender Casey is.
    • John thinks of Casey as being female, Rose thinks of "Viceroy Bubbles Von Salamancer" as male. Who's right? Who knows.
  • Bilingual Bonus: Serenity will occasionally blink out a message in morse code.
  • Clone Degeneration: Mutie is an imperfect clone of Rose's dead cat Jaspers.
    • Unless - given we know he travels back in time on Mom's meteor and presumably becomes her childhood pet - he's a perfect clone of himself. Or herself.
  • Crows and Ravens
  • Cute Kitten
  • Extra Eyes: Mutie has four eyes.
  • Head Pet
  • I Have Many Names: Mutie gets called "Dr. Meowgon Spengler" by John. Similarly, Casey gets called "Viceroy Bubbles Von Salamancer" by Rose. Turnabout is fair play?
  • The Ishmael: Maplehoof was briefly made playable during Act 4 to provide a window into what Rose's mom was up to. (It has since been confirmed that guardians can never be playable.)
  • Killed Off for Real: Maplehoof.
  • Punny Name: Serenity is a Firefly.
  • Sure Why Not: Before her name was made official, Mutie was Mutie's Fan Nickname.
  • You All Look Familiar: Casey looks the same as any salamander, only smaller and thus cuter.
