== The Frank's Gang ==
Line 20 ⟶ 22:
** [[The Heart]]: Gus.
** [[The Chick]]: Piruja.
** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Victor, who is also [[The Lancer]] and [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]].
* [[True Companions]]: They're pretty much portrayed as this. Despite their occasional disputes, they're almost always together, and the original artwork confirms them as such.
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: While this trope isn't applied to the gang itself, this is the gang's relationship with [[The Friend Nobody Likes|Victor]], since he acts like a dick towards everyone in the group. As such, only [[Dogged Nice Girl|Piruja]] likes him.
Line 26 ⟶ 28:
=== Victor Von Piro ===
* [[Accidental Kiss]]:
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: If not for Frank feeling pity for him, he would have been victim of this trope. [[Jerkass|With]] [[Spoiled Brat|good]] [[No Social Skills|reason]].
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Subverted/Deconstructed. He drives people away due to acting like this trope.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type V.
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]
* [[The Chew Toy]]: The sheer amounts of [[Amusing Injuries]] he takes are astounding.
* [[Cry Cute]]:
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: To the point of being obnoxious.
Line 126 ⟶ 128:
* [[Redhead in Green]]/[[Green Eyed Red Head]]
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: She seems to form one with [[Rose-Haired Girl|Henrietta]].
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: She's more than happy to ship Lupo and Nieve together.
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: The only confirmed member of the gang to be female.
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: A fairly innocent and sympathetic example, but still.
Line 133 ⟶ 136:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Messing with his siblings is a huge one for him.
* [[Beta Couple]]: Seems to form one with Nieve.
* [[Beware the Quiet Ones]]: He's pretty calm and laid-back, but it's not a good idea to piss him off.
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: He's very protective of his siblings. Messing with them is his main [[Berserk Button]].
Line 140 ⟶ 144:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Hell yes. Even in a [[World of Snark]], he reigns supreme with his quips and putdowns.
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: This guy eats anything. And we mean '''anything'''.
* [[Fire-Forged Friends]]:
* [[Foil]]: He's one for Victor. He's a cool-headed werewolf who comes for a poor family, while Victor is a rich, hot-headed vampire. As a result, [[Headbutting Heroes|the two don't get along at all]].
* [[Fun Personified]]
Line 154 ⟶ 158:
* '''[[Sleepyhead]]''': He's the walking embodiment of this trope, often taken to [[Up to Eleven|ridiculous levels]].
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: The sensitive to Momses' manly.
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Nieve.
* [[Stepford Snarker]]: Implied, considering his family situation.
* [[Translator Buddy]]: He serves as this to Momses.
Line 166 ⟶ 171:
* [[Berserk Button]]: The only times he's shown to get angry is when someone messes with his friends and Lupo's [[Sleepyhead]] behavior taken too far from him.
* [[Black Best Friend]]: To the Frank's gang, but especially [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Lupo]].
*
* [[Competition Freak]]
* [[Cool Loser]]: While his friends have some commonly associated "loser" traits, Momses is only considered a loser for associating himself with them. Even taking into account his clumsiness, he's still the "cool dude" of the gang in comparison.
Line 213 ⟶ 218:
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: Has red eyes, with black eyeballs.
* [[Tender Tears]]
* [[Undignified Death]]: It's revealed that
== Other Minimonsters ==
Line 221 ⟶ 226:
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Type II/IV. It's not her fault she has a crazy evil side trying to take over...
* [[Apologises a Lot]]: Mostly because of [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Miss Hit]].
* [[Berserk Button]]: Never tell her [[Split Personality|split personalities]] are funny. Mienai learned this the ''hard'' way.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: She's a sweet, polite and adorable little girl with a [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] that can kick ass in less than a second.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Having to deal with [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Miss Hit]] hasn't done any good towards her. She gets better.
Line 245 ⟶ 250:
* [[Team Mom]]: If she becomes a full member of the Frank's Gang, she would fill this role nicely.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The girly towards [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Miss Hit]]'s tomboy.
* [[Tsundere]]: A rare case in that she's the "dere" side, with Miss Hit being the "tsun".
* [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot]]: A [[Running Gag]] concerning her, especially with [[Love Interest|Frank]].
Line 250 ⟶ 256:
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: He's ostracized due to his smell. He doesn't care that much for this, though, since he doesn't even want to join a particular gang.
*
* [[The Friend Nobody Likes]]: Played with. He's generally avoided due to being [[The Pig Pen]]. That said, how well or badly they treat him depends on the character being either a [[Nice Guy]] or a [[Jerkass]] respectively.
* [[Hates Baths]]: See [[The Pig Pen]] below.
Line 260 ⟶ 266:
* [[Nice Guy]]
* [[No Social Skills]]
* [[The Pig Pen]]: His main trait. He's always in a bin, and even lives in the town dump.
* [[The Pollyanna]]
* [[The Reliable One]]: In the fourth album, the Frank's Gang treat him like this, since Piruja was nowhere to be seen and needed another member on their team to not get them disqualified.
=== Dayana Von Piro ===
*
* [[French Jerk]]: Downplayed. She's snobbish and kinda unpleasant, but is nowhere near as a haughty [[Jerkass]] like her cousin Victor.
*
* [[Original Character]]: Was actually a fanmade character, and the author included her.
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: Her drawings.
* [[Terrible Artist]]:
===
* [[An Ice Person]]: As a snowwoman, this is expected.
* [[
* [[Blinding Bangs]]
* [[Braids of Action]]
* [[Fire-Forged Friends]]:
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: She's introduced as a thief who epically screws over Lupo, yet she's willing to put that aside to save the town, becoming much kinder.
* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]]: It says a lot about the state of Villa Susto [[Sticky Fingers|she]] is the voice of reason.
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]:
* [[Sticky Fingers]]: They're a master thief.▼
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Lupo.
* [[Took a Level in Kindness]]
* [[Troll]]
Line 295 ⟶ 304:
** [[The Brute]]: Skin.
** [[The Dark Chick]]: Mienai.
** [[Sixth Ranger|Fifth Ranger]]: Victor in the fourth album.
* [[Gang of Bullies]]
* [[Go-Karting with Bowser]]: When they're not bullying the Frank's Gang, they're seen hanging around with them, bordering on [[Friendly Enemy]] territory.
Line 382 ⟶ 391:
* [[Big Eater]]: Only surpassed by Lupo.
* [[Black Eyes of Evil|Black Eyes of Jerkassery]]
*
* [[Dem Bones]]: He's a living skeleton. Which is why [[Big Eater|Lupo]] wants to eat him.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: He's a jerkier (and stupider) version of Lupo.
Line 402 ⟶ 411:
* [[Bad Boss]]: He treats his fellow rat minions like crap. {{spoiler|After being [[Brought Down to Normal]], one of them clearly intends to [[The Dog Bites Back|get back at him]].}}
* [[Big Bad Ensemble]]: With [[The Bully|Quasim]] in the first album.
*
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: Literally.
* [[Ditzy Genius]]: He prides himself as an [[Evil Genius]], but he's constantly foiled due to him being easily distracted. {{spoiler|This ends up being his [[Fatal Flaw]].}}
Line 444 ⟶ 453:
* [[Badass]]: You bet.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Calling her "little" or "weak".
* [[Big Bad]]: Of the second album.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: In the fifth album [[Super Powered Evil Side|by proxy]].
Line 449 ⟶ 459:
* [[Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male)]]: Zigzagged. While her punching Frank is [[Played for Laughs]], at no point this is seen as admirable or justifiable, as Miss Hit is clearly a psychopath. The only reason Frank lets this slide is because of her good side Henrietta, and both are terrified of her.
* [[Evil Redhead|Evil]] [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Inferiority Superiority Complex]]: She constantly demeans [[Jekyll and Hyde|Henrietta]] as a "weakling", considering herself the "superior" personality and [[Split Personality Takeover|usurping]] her,
* [[Jekyll and Hyde]]: The Hyde to Henrietta's Jekyll, obviously enough.
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: While not exempt of comedic quirks, "El Perfeccionator" has a more serious plotline due to her putting both Frank and Henrietta through the ringer.
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Henrietta's. So obvious there's no need for spoiler tags to cover it.
* [[Super Strength]]
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The tomboy to Henrietta's girly girl.
* [[Took a Level in Kindness]]: Not "kindness" ''per se'', but she seems to have started to see the Frank's Gang as her friends, even sharing Henrietta's crush on Frank.
* [[Tragic Villain]]
* [[Tsundere]]: The "tsun" to Henrietta's "dere".
▲* [[Villain Decay]]: {{spoiler|After the second album.}}
* [[Villain Decay]]: After the second album.
* [[Villainous
* [[Villainous BSOD]]: Has one when she looks at the truth mirror and realizes that, even with the Perfeccionator, her true self is still Henrietta.
=== Arrmando el Arraña ===
*
* [[Bait the Dog]]: Double-subverted.
*
* [[I'm a Humanitarian|I'm a Minimonsterarian]]
*
*
*
* [[Love Redeems]]: He ends up falling for Piruja's mother.
* [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]]
* [[Obviously Evil]]
* [[Spiders Are Scary]]
*
* [[Trrrilling Rrrs]]: He speaks like this.
* [[Vile Villain, Saccharine Show]]:
* [[Walking Spoiler]]: It's hard to talk about him without spoilering several events in the fourth album.
Line 493 ⟶ 505:
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: [[Humans Through Alien Eyes|From the monsters' perspective]], he's shown to be this, since he's a monster-hunting human who has been allowed to reach the breach between human and monster worlds. From the readers' perspective, though, he's [[Harmless Villain|anything]] [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|but]] [[Laughably Evil|this]].
* [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]]: Once hit with the Confusion Gem, he becomes a Yeti and proves himself to be a match for the heroes. Unfortunately for him, his lack of intelligence renders him down to [[Harmless Villain]] status.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Hell yes.
* [[Tears of Joy]]: When Victor proves that monsters are indeed real.
== Other Characters ==
Line 501 ⟶ 515:
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: He's by far the only adult who tries to avert this trope, with varying results.
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: His hat turns out to be this.
* [[Cool Teacher]]: At least according to Gus.
* [[Hat of Power]]
Line 513 ⟶ 527:
* [[Ambiguously Bi]]: Despite having a daughter, he has a lot of campy mannerisms: He dresses in pink, has feminine manners and interests, and talks in diminutives like [[The Simpsons (animation)|Ned Flanders]].
* [[Berserk Button]]: Never, ''ever'', cheat in front of him.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Just like his daughter.
*
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: His [[Super-Powered Evil Side]].
* [[Jerkass]]: Again, his [[Super-Powered Evil Side]].
Line 577 ⟶ 591:
* [[Lady Drunk]]: Implied in one story, when she suggests to her kid daughter to [[Drowning My Sorrows|drown her sorrows]] in wine.
* [[Like Father, Like Son|Like Mother, Like Daughter]]: Piruja definitely inherited her looks and stalking tendencies. Unlike [[Everyone Has Standards|Piruja]], she takes her man obsession [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[Mama Bear]]: Mess with her daughter, and she'll unleash hell upon you.
* [[Really Gets Around]]
* [[Redhead in Green]]
Line 589 ⟶ 603:
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling|Annoying Younger Siblings]]: Lupo's little brothers have shades of this, although they turn out to be more responsible than expected once Lupo falls asleep, [[Running Gag|as usual]].
* [[Big Brother Worship]]: Lupe, Lupín and Segismundo towards Lupo, as long as he doesn't [[Sleepyhead|fall asleep]].
*
* [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]: Lu. The fact she's best friends with fellow BTD Francesca confirms this.
* [[The Cutie]]: The triplets.
