Line 37:
* [[Little Miss Snarker]]: Ten-ish years old, serious and critically snarky.
* [[Tsundere]]: She spent most of her time picking on Raz before admitting that she likes him.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Right between grades C and B, at least according to [http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/4938/834910-lili_med_large.jpg this picture]{{Dead link}}. She's got the [[Tsundere]] attitude and legendary [[Twin Tails]] requisite for grade S, though.
 
== Bobby Zilch ==
Line 119:
* [[American Accents]]: Definitely Texas, though he's from Oklahoma.
* [[Cowboy]]
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: Doesn't like to be called "James". Elka does it anyway.

* [[First-Name Basis]]: With Elka.
Line 144:
 
* [[Aloof Big Brother]]/[[Aloof Ally]]/[[Psycho Sidekick]]/[[The Lancer]]: See Maloof's entry.
* [[Badass]]: This is a guy that not only easily out-psychics Bobby and Benny, he is looking for a fight with [http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/4938/834982-lungfish_med_large.jpg Linda]{{Dead link}}.
* [[The Big Guy]]: Seems this way at first.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]/[[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]/[[Who's Laughing Now?]]: See Maloof's entry.
* [[Funny Foreigner]]: Has a thick Russian accent and is generally more interested in wandering the fringes of the woods looking for bears to fight (an act he talks about as if it's the most everyday thing in the world) than interacting with the other kids.
* [[Funny Foreigner]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Taken directly from a Russian playwright famous for his novel The Master and Margarita.
* [[Russian Guy Suffers Most]]: Averted.
Line 162:
A [[Seemingly-Wholesome Fifties Girl|Seemingly Wholesome Fifties Boy]], [[Kidanova]] and [[Casanova Wannabe]] all rolled up into one [[Most Writers Are Adults]] package.
 
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: Raz first gets a chance to talk to him while he's trying to use Clairvoyance on a squirrel he's jammed into the girls' cabin.
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]
* [[Children Are Innocent]]: Oh so ''very'' averted. "My parents let me watch R-rated movies."
* [[Kidanova]]/[[Casanova Wannabe]]/[[Most Writers Are Adults]]: And ''HOW''.
Line 195:
* [[Blood-Splattered Innocents]]: See {{spoiler|[[Freudian Excuse]]}} below.
* [[The Butcher]]: His father, both literally and figuratively. {{spoiler|Also the source of the [[Blood-Splattered Innocents]] and Oleander's [[Freudian Excuse]]/[[Start of Darkness]]}}.
* [[Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys]]: Weirdly, both averted and played straight. {{spoiler|See [[Miles Gloriosus]] below}}.
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Takes a strict and rigorous attitude with his students tinged with army-speak.
* [[Dueling Scar]]: He comes complete with dueling scar and pickelhaube despite sounding suspiciously American.
* {{spoiler|[[Easily Forgiven]]: In the game's ending cinematic, he explains that his world domination scheme came as the result of temporary insanity and psychological demons which have now been vanquished, and that a CAT scan has cleared him}}.
Line 238:
* [[Dirty Mind Reading]] When he was a boy, Sasha tried to find out what {{spoiler|his [[Missing Mom]]}} was like by reading his father's mind. Child-traumatizing ensued, no question about that.
* [[Expressive Mask]]: His sunglasses.
* [[Germanic Depressives]]: Nearly always poker-faced and unexpressive, down to him being the only character in the game who doesn't laugh if Raz uses the Crow Feather item.
* [[Germanic Depressives]]
* {{spoiler|[[Missing Mom]]}}: She died when he was just a baby.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Cigarettes. He's even seen levitating one.
* [[The Spock]]: He's rather logical about many things.
* [[The Stoic]]: Hard to rattle and generally deadpan in expression and speech.
* [[The Stoic]]
* [[Sunglasses at Night]]: He can be seen wearing them, no matter what time of day it is.
 
'''''Thorney Towers Residents'''''
Line 252:
* [[Artificial Limbs]]: His right arm has been replaced with a three-pronged claw. That doubles as a ''pepper grinder''. Also, his eyes look like a pair of penlights.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Albeit a dangerous one, bringing us such lines as "You have the insanity of a ''manatee!''".
* [[Depraved Dentist]]: Amoral but cheerful at best and actively sadistic at worst.
* {{spoiler|[[Disney Villain Death]]: Even less than that. You don't fight him at all. Instead, Raz uses telekinesis to drop Sam/Mr Pokeylope's brain into the tank, which blasts Loboto off the top of Thorney Towers, presumably to his doom}}.
* [[The Dragon]]: His orderly Crispin Whytehead. {{spoiler|He's this himself to Coach Oleander}}.

Line 263:
[[The Dragon]] to Dr. Loboto and the orderly of Thorney Towers. Was once an inmate under Fred's orderly station, but turned the tables by driving Fred mad by beating him at a game of Waterloo-o. Is half blind.
 
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He pretty much spends his time mocking Fred, and snarking's pretty much his only defense. He crumples fairly quickly once Fred is able to assert authority once again.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[The Dragon]]: To Dr. Loboto.
* [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French|Everything Sounds Sexier With]] [[British Accents]]
Line 270:
A [[Cloudcuckoolander]] [[Conspiracy Theorist]] who once had a job as a department store guard, but was fired, resulting in him going crazy and burning down the store, and being taken into an asylum. Later, he's approached {{spoiler|by Coach Oleander}} to become the Asylum's guard, and the one to potentially destroy the Asylum in his "Milkman" persona to eliminate all evidence of {{spoiler|Oleander and}} Loboto's scheme.
 
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Even for a conspiracy theorist, he's weird.
* [[Conspiracy Theorist]]: And ''how''.
* [[Milkman Conspiracy]]: [[Trope Namer]].
Line 287:
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Her mother. See above.
* [[Evil Matriarch]]: The unnammed headmistress of Hagatha Home School For Girls.
* [[Follow in My Footsteps]]: She followed in the footsteps of her mother and even managed to outshine her.
* [[Mood Swinger]]: Aforementioned bipolar disorder, the theme of her mind along with her acting.
* [[Parent with New Paramour]]: One play has Gloria suspect her stepfather was responsible for sending her to Hagatha's
* [[Straw Critic]]: Jasper Rolls, who represents her self-hatred and insecurity.
* [[Tell Me About My Father]]: Implied by the "Knight of Joy" plays in her mind to have never known her father and to wonder if her life might never have gone off its rails if he'd been in it.
* [[Tell Me About My Father]]
* [[White Dwarf Starlet]]: Her once-glamorous career crashed after her mother's suicide. Raz finds her performing to the plants in the Thorney Towers' garden.
* [[White Dwarf Starlet]]
 
== Fred Bonaparte ==
Line 311:
 
* [[All Guys Want Cheerleaders]]: Him and Lana.
* [[Antiquated Linguistics]]: Has an evocative, semi-formal way of speaking.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: El Odio's name is Spanish for "hate". {{spoiler|It represents Edgar's anger issues}}.
* [[Gentle Giant]]: He seems to be one of the most pleasantly laid-back people Raz meets aside from Milla. [[Unstoppable Rage|Unless he's pissed off]], of course.
Line 335:
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: Her [[Mental World]], Lungfishopolis. "GOGGALOOOOR!"
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: She's actually a very nice sea creature when she's not being controlled.
* [[Cowardly Boss]]: Once she's hit three times, she proceeds to move the air bubble to a new area.
* [[Cowardly Boss]]
* [[Female Monster Surprise]]: There's no indication at all that she's female until she gives Raz her name. And yes, we are reasonably sure she's a "she", given the secret [[100% Completion]] ending video.
* [[Larynx Dissonance]]: Her voice is very deep and male.
Line 364:
* [[The Men in Black]]
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Apparently, just holding a phone makes you a skilled phone repairman. And that's just one example of many...
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: They actually have infrared vision, so sneaking past them using invisibility won't work.
* [[Steve Blum]]
 
Line 371:
 
* [[Ancient Conspiracy]]: Well, not that ancient. Still, they do seem to be about as old as the game-time state of Boyd's mind.
* [[Girl Scouts Are Evil]]: They are the defense for the manifestation of the [[Manchurian Agent]] brainwashing Boyd has been subjected to, making them essentially the villains of his mind. In particular, they guard the Milkman, until Oleanders order to destroy all the evidence is activated
* [[Girl Scouts Are Evil]]
* [[Mama Bear]]: The Den Mother.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: {{spoiler|The Den Mother, in the level's final boss fight}}.
