Here's a list of characters from the [[Web Comic]] ''[[Misfile]]''.
 
Line 8 ⟶ 9:
== Humans ==
 
== = Ash Upton ===
 
The girl who was a boy.
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
'''Associated tropes:'''
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: In full effect, to Ash's constant chagrin. In his/"her" own words, "What I wouldn't have given to be a flat chested no-looker that no one noticed."
** Justified in that Ash's mom is a former lingerie model.
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]]: Ash's father Dr. Edward Upton is a gynecologist who "never forgets a vagina" (and isn't at all shy about talking about them--seethem—see [[Ultimate Job Security]] below) while Ash's mom Marie is a former lingerie model who has appeared in her fair share of racy catalogs. Ash notes that trying on bras would be awkward enough even if there wasn't a [http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=601 large poster of his topless mother hanging in the fitting room.]
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Played with: Ash relies on [[Don't Think, Feel]] for her driving techniques, but Ash's ''racing'' technique is to constantly analyze the situation until she finds an advantage she can capitalize on. Ironically her reflexive driving skills leave her mind free to to concentrate on the race itself.
* [[Badass Driver]]
Line 33:
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Though Ash isn't thrilled about the prospects
* [[Tomboy]]: Given that Ash is a gender bended boy, he/she dresses accordingly. But sometimes he/she is put into [[Dragged Into Drag|drag]].
* [[TranssexualTransgender]]: Ash acts more like a real transgendered teenager than most [[Gender Bender]] [[Web Comic]] protagonists. Emily even suggests gender reassignment surgery as an option at one point.
** The possibility was addressed in Ask Ash, where he/she/it is worried that girlAsh getting gender reassignment surgery prior to Rumisiel fixing everything would result in guyAsh retroactively getting gender reassignment surgery.
** Not to mention F-to-M surgery is pretty damn crappy at this point in time.
Line 39:
* [[Tsundere]]: Mix of A and B, though more often A since it's not common to see Ash become mushy and sweet.
* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]: Part of her preferred swimwear, as seen in book 5.
* [[Would NotWouldn't Hit a Girl]]: Minor BSOD when Ash punches a girl in the face, something boy-him would have never done and something Emily had already lampshaded as being tantamount to surrendering his manhood.
* [[Wrench Wench]]: Girl-Ash was called "Crazy Car Girl".
* [[Yaoi Fangirl]][/][[Yuri Fanboy]]: Girl-Ash was apparently the prior, so logically boy-Ash is the latter.
 
=== Emily [[Mc Arthur]]McArthur ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
'''Associated tropes:'''
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Emily's basic MO throughout the comic but really comes to the fore in the arc centered around her first race where she reads up on psychology in order to rattle her opponent.
** She reads a psychology text book, but it's probably just to aid her own self confidence. What she really ends up doing is channeling "Bitch Emily" from the time before Ash and Emily met.
Line 63:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: When colored, Emily's hair is depicted as a dark blue. It's unknown whether this is a dye job, her natural color via a small tweak to reality (as in [[El Goonish Shive]]), or simply a bit of [[Artistic License]].
 
=== Dr. Edward Upton ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
'''Associated tropes:'''
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]]: It's not enough that he memorizes women's vaginas, due to his job as a gynecologist... it's the fact that he'll ''describe'' them for everyone in earshot at the drop of a hat.
* [[Blackmail]]: Of sorts - to make sure that Ms. MacArthur doesn't prohibit Emily from spending time with Ash, he notes that he could really help Emily get into Harvard, as he knows several people there. But he'd really only go that far for his daughter's friends.
Line 79:
* [[Ultimate Job Security]]: He might be creepy, but he's apparently just that damn good at gynecology.
 
=== Molly ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
'''Associated tropes:'''
* [[Calling the Old Man Out|Calling The Old Woman Out]]: Though it's Emily's mother, not her own, that's on the recieving end. She then reveals that she was going to do it anyway before leaving for college, and Ms. McArthur's recent ABRASIVENESS toward her own daughter has provided her with an opportunity to let loose what she REALLY thinks of Emily's [[My Beloved Smother|beloved smother]].
* [[Character Development]]: Goes from [[Alpha Bitch]] to [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]
Line 87:
* {{spoiler|[[Near-Death Experience]]}}
 
=== Colin ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
'''Associated tropes:'''

'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

=== Missi Fuller ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''

'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

Line 170 ⟶ 169:
** And then when Ash finally tries to make ammends ''weeks'' later, it turns out 'Nine had let it go after only a few days and is quite willing to forgive. [[Nice Girl]]? Without a ''doubt''.

* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

Line 202 ⟶ 201:
* [[Missing Mom]]: Male Ash lived with his father, his mother leaving when she was little, and had to be told a certain picture was of his Mom. Girl Ash, however, had more contact with her Mom. The discretion is that both had written a letter to her, but Girl-Ash sent the letter, while Boy-Ash ripped it up because it made him feel 'like a sissy boy'.
 
=== Ms. [[Mc Arthur]]McArthur ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
'''Associated tropes:'''
* [[Education Mama]]: Ms. McArthur pretty much has an obsession with seeing Emily go to an Ivy League school. She prefers Harvard, although she's more than willing to consider other options.
* {{spoiler|[[Hidden Depths]]: She shows some unexpected appreciation and insight about cars, as she reveals when she sees the classic Mustang Emily received from Ash's winning against Burt - her father actually owned a car of the same kind when she was a girl. Emily states the next day that they talked for a good while, her mother giving Emily insight into her grandparents.}}

''[http://www.misfile.com/?page=136 My name is Vashiel of the second order of holy swords, divine punishment division. I am here to see Rumishiel. Is he here ?]''
 
Rumisiel's loving big brother. He takes an administrative leave after this one was kicked out of Heaven to come to Earth and to help him get back. Since he is incapable of telling a lie, he is kept in the dark about Ash and Emily's little problems.

* {{spoiler|[[The Atoner]]: For past misdeeds unknown to his little brother.}}
* [[Badass]]: Though his powers are partially sealed due to being based on
Line 272:
 
 
== = Cassiel ===
 
Rumisiel's ex, who has taken some time off to pop down and see how he's doing with his punishment. But not in a good way; things apparently went south between the two, and she seems quite eager to make sure his sojourn to Earth becomes a bit more permanent. She's also [[Satan]]'s neice.
