Line 20:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Named for the Fenchurch Street railway station, where she was conceived in the ticket queue.
* [[Look Ma, No Plane]]: While entering the [[Mile-High Club]].
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: The reason she {{spoiler|gets [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him|abruptly written out]]}}, according to [[Word of God]].
 
=== Ford Prefect ===
Line 35:
* [[Crazy Awesome]]
* [[Foe Yay]]: With Arthur, though it's more present in the novels. (Though, in the movie, it goes into Tsundere territory because one head hates Arthur while the other one generally seems to like him).
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: In more than one way. He is a jerk, but is a nice guy at heart. Also, his ship is called The Heart of Gold.
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Not so much early on, but in ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to Thethe Galaxy (Franchise)/And Another Thing|And Another Thing]]''...
* [[Multiple Head Case]]: Subverted in most adaptations (where there's no distinction between the two heads), pretty much played straight in the movie, and zigzagged in the sixth novel, where the second head has a distinct personality after being removed and attached to the Heart of Gold.
* [[Rule of Cool]]: Pretty much what he lives his life by.
Line 45:
=== Tricia MacMillan/Trillian Astra ===
* [[Brainy Brunette]]: Originally an astrophysicist and mathematician.
** Directly in contrast to the [[Dumb Blonde]] from the TV-series and her ''Tricia Mac Millan'' reporter-self from ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to Thethe Galaxy (Franchise)/Mostly Harmless|Mostly Harmless]]''.
* [[Married to Thethe Job]]: As a reporter in ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to Thethe Galaxy (Franchise)/Mostly Harmless|Mostly Harmless]]''.
* [[My Biological Clock Is Ticking]]: At the time she had Random.
* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: "Trillian" is just a handle Zaphod gave her based on her real name, Tricia McMillan.
* [[Parental Neglect]]: Her [[Married to Thethe Job]] lifestyle means she is a pretty neglectful mother towards Random.
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]
 
Line 77:
* [[Sliding Scale of Robot Intelligence]]: Easily of [[Deus Est Machina]] levels intelligence, but it's ''never'' put to full use.
* [[Super-Powered Robot Meter Maids]]
* [[Talking the Monster Toto Death]]: In one instance, Marvin defeats a sentient armoured tank by asking it to guess what weapon he has been given with which to defend Zaphod against it. When he reveals that the answer is "Nothing", the tank gets so angry that it blasts out the floor, causing it to plummet to its destruction.
** In the first book, he kills two policemen on Magrathea by plugging up to the ship controlling their life support system and having a long chat, explaining to it his opinion and perspectives of the Universe...
