* {{spoiler|[[Alas, Poor Villain]]: An [[In-Universe]] example. After Paz is defeated and is launched into the Carribbean Sea as a result of ZEKE's destruction, Big Boss's only response to Paz's last speech is a melancholical "Paz..." and a pitying sigh.}}

* {{spoiler|1=[[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Paz turns out to be an [[Ax Crazy]] [[Manipulative Bitch]]. Don't take our word for it; just listen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVeGrGWG2Po&feature=related her audio diary] and you'll agree.}}

** {{spoiler|It might serve more as a horrific statement of just how far Zero had fallen, over the previous decade. Her diaries make clear that she was far more terrified of him than of death, to the point of [[Fate Worse Than Death|verbally saying that]].}}

** {{spoiler|[[Disney Death]]: Although Big Boss implies otherwise in a briefing file with a grieving Chico. See [[He's Just Hiding|She's Just Hiding]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Although Paz ultimately went through with Zero's plan and attempt to launch a nuke at the East Coast, she implies in her diary tapes that, loyal to Cipher or not, even she felt that launching a nuke at the United States and framing MSF as an extremist cult was far too extreme.}}

* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: {{spoiler|Pacifica Ocean implies that she'd suffer this should she either fail or disobey her mission at the hands of her boss, Zero.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Femme Fatale]]}}

----

* [[A Father to His Men|A Mother To Her Men]]: She cares for her troops.

* [[Mama Bear]]: Amanda does deeply care for her younger brother Chico, and was willing to risk her life to rescue him when he was captured by the Peace Sentinels. However, she also doesn't have any qualms about killing him immediately when he was captured, rationalizing that its better for him to die than be tortured by the Peace Sentinels and then executed afterwards.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Her goal is to free her native country, Nicaragua, at any cost.

 

 

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Had a relatively minor one when Big Boss met him at the village, due to having talked under torture. He later has a much bigger one after {{spoiler|Paz was revealed to be an enemy spy and he failed to stop her. The fact that he had a crush on her beforehand didn't help things either.}}

* [[The Stool Pigeon]]: Lacerated Larry type: He was captured by the Peace Sentinels early into the game, and ended up revealing the locations of his comrades due to his being tortured by them. It's also implied that this happens to any FSLN member who is captured, and that most of them don't even live to see the light of day after they end up breaking from it.

 

 

* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Huey isn't actually his real name. It was a nickname given to him by Strangelove, derived from the disabled service droid from the film [[Silent Running]], in a not-too-subtle insulting reference to his being handicapped.

* [[Persona Non Grata]]: He ends up being blacklisted from the Central Heredia AI Lab's security clearance, apparently because he irritated Strangelove one time too many.

 

 

* [[The Chessmaster]]

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: A notably spiteful version. {{spoiler|After Zadornov changed the target to Cuba, as well as shot him, he activates Peace Walker with the implied intention of dying before he could divulge the abort code to ensure that no one can stop his plan.}}

* [[The Exile]]: It is strongly implied that he was sent to Central America as a Station Chief after being demoted from CIA Director because the CIA was disgusted enough with {{spoiler|his planning Operation Snake Eater}} that they demoted him and packed him away, especially with the implication that he attempted to basically brag about it beforehand.

* [[Expy]]: Most of Coldman's character traits (including being responsible for a destructive and quite tragic event that sets off the game series with no remorse, not to mention being exiled for reasons relating to said destructive and tragic event) are eerily similar to that of [[Mega Man Zero|Doctor Weil]]. Ironic, seeing how Naked Snake's [[Chikao Ohtsuka|real-life father]] also voiced that character.

* [[Kicked Upstairs]]

* [[Lack of Empathy]]: {{spoiler|For planning The Boss' death.}} His exchange when encountering Snake tells all:

----

* [[Dirty Communists]]: He's a KGB Agent. In case you're wondering why this is unspoilered, that's because his affiliation to the KGB was revealed in quite literally his first appearance (albeit in flashback in the intro mission).

* [[Obviously Evil]]: He reveals he's working for the KGB... in the first cutscene.

* [[Rocket Punch]]: {{spoiler|Tries to kill Big Boss in this way before his death. It doesn't work.}}

* [[Smug Snake]]

* [[Unwitting Pawn]] / [[Double Agent]]: {{spoiler|Paz's}} choice of words imply that he {{spoiler|could either have been unknowingly working for Cipher, or that he could have actually been a Cipher agent like Paz herself.}}

----

* [[Anti-Villain]]: She who only worked with the Peace Sentinels so she'd have a chance to {{spoiler|revive The Boss}}.

* [[Bi the Way]] / [[Depraved Bisexual]]: {{spoiler|It's implied in the second ending as well as in one of the briefing tapes that she does possess some attraction to someone who is of the opposite sex, namely Huey, and we already know about her attraction to The Boss and possibly Paz. Was [[Depraved Bisexual]] near the start of the game before settling for simply being [[Bi the Way]].}}

* [[Covert Pervert]]: Unlike most examples, she really doesn't let it known until well after the main game is over - and that's if you bother to listen to tape files. Paz has no idea she's getting fondled by her.

** [[Heroic Albino]]: {{spoiler|She ''is'' working with Coldman, but her primary motivation is to resurrect the Boss. She really doesn't care about his ulterior motive, and helps Snake destroy the AI since it'll turn the world into ash and nuclear waste if he doesn't.}}

* [[Evil Brit]]: Subverted, Strangelove just has her own reasons for serving evil.

* [[Luke, I Might Be Your Father|Otacon, I Might Be Your Mother]]: It's never confirmed, but the scene in the second ending where {{spoiler|Strangelove and Huey come to a better understanding that had a somewhat romantic undertone}} has led some people to speculate that Strangelove at the very least married Huey, if not gave birth to Otacon/Hal Emmerich. The fact that Nastasha Romanenko's book also made it clear that Hal had some British relatives seemed to support it.

* [[I Am Very British]]

* [[Lipstick Lesbian]]: Though her attire is definitely masculine.

** {{spoiler|Goes a bit towards butch in her backstory - she scorned the other girls for being girly. Turns out to be [[Bi the Way]] after the true ending.}}

* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Strangelove's nickname, despite sharing the same name as the title of a certain film, is derived from her evident sexuality, and was used in a rather insulting manner.

* [[Persona Non Grata]]: When Strangelove requested to join MSF to Big Boss via Kazuhira Miller, Miller stated that she was unable to return to England for reasons that, despite Miller telling Big Boss that she'll explain why, [[Noodle Incident|we never actually find out]].
