Nature of Nature's Art/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Heroic RROD]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. Yes, his metanoia severely damaged his halo brain, but it turns out that ''Rule'' destroyed it.}}

* [[Idiot Hero]]

* [[Loss of Identity]]: {{spoiler|When Meander's halo brain is destroyed by Rule, the construct that was Meander dies, even if his body and its base animal instincts survive him.}} The court case that follows factors this heavily.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: "It means to worm around kind of leisurely." Turns out Meander chose that because his mind is constantly wandering.

** [[Badass Teacher]]

* [[Big Badass Wolf]]

* [[Determinator]]

* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]

* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Threatens (''possibly'' in jest) to kill Meander over an assignment, among other things.

* {{spoiler|[[Taking You With Me]]}}

 

=== Polarizing (Tamandua) ===

 

* [[Badass Teacher]]

* [[Deadly Doctor]]: Polarizing's metanoia grants him thorough knowledge of a patient (or enemy's) anatomy, which he uses to paralyze Quintet.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: And this time, it's ''extremely'' obvious.

* [[Stern Teacher]]: He's a lot more reasonable than Rule in general, {{spoiler|but he switches to full-on Sadist when Quintet pushes him.}}

 

=== Syncope (Kinkajou) ===

A law clerk and good friend of Meander.

 

* [[Love At First Sight]]: He fell for Fiat right away. This was amusingly lampshaded in the exact same panel.

 

* [[Hero of Another Story]]: On page 183, Fiat mentions that she was born with dextrocardia. When asked about why she mentioned this detail, Braun said that it's actually important to her own story (if it ever does get told). And by story, he means, well... this:

{{quote| ''Fiat's story would be a full-blown NofNA storyline, since it would have its own plot. She just happened to be enough of a character to have a foot in this story.''}}

 

=== Keratin Junior (Rabbit) ===

Fellow student and sparring partner of SV. They jointly develop the Dust Bath fighting style.

 

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: {{spoiler|She curb stomps SV in their first fight. A few deadly upgrades and a change in ideals later let SV do the same to her.}}

* [[Extremity Extremist]]: Albeit not by choice.

* [[Aloof Big Brother]]

* [[I Just Want to Be Badass]]

 

== ''Lycosa'' ==

* [[Mama Bear|Mama Spider]]: Gulosa is ''not'' happy to learn that her eggsack has been stolen.

{{quote| ''[[This Is Sparta|GIVE ME - MY - CHILDREN BACK!!]]''}}

* [[Talking to Themself]]: {{spoiler|What we're initially led to believe Gulosa is doing at one point, albeit with her unusually argumentative inner doubts instead of another personality. The reality of the situation is [[Puppeteer Parasite|quite different....]]}}

* [[Tomato in The Mirror]]: {{spoiler|So apparently she's not quite a real spider, but was created from the 'I's that the members of Venom 8 tried to discard... [[Mind Screw|or something]].}}

* [[Master of Illusion]]: Argiope Aurantia, AKA the Black and Yellow Garden Spider.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]

* [[Omniscient Council of Vagueness]]: In their first appearance. Then each one appears individually, [[Gotta Kill Em All|only to be killed by Lycosa]].

* {{spoiler|[[The One Guy]]: Gladicosa gulosa is the one male spider in the group.}}

 

* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Deliberately; [[Word of God]] has stated that he's supposed to look a little bit like every race. That said, judging by the name, he's probably Russian (or of Russian descent).

* [[Perpetual Poverty]]: Apparently he's seriously in debt and constantly broke.
