Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

[[Captain Obvious|The heroine of the comic]] As the [[Chosen One|'Swordmaiden of the Goddess]], she's charged with defending the balance between the mortal and magical realms. Currently in a relationship with Jon and Boo Cat.

* [[Action Girl]]: Allegedly; she becomes a [[Faux Action Girl]] whenever there's a chance for the enemy to strip, molest or rape her to provide maximum [[Fan Service]].

* [[Chainmail Bikini]]: Her 'armor'.

* [[Evil Costume Switch]]: When Tarot becomes the 'Assassin of the Black Rose', although you could hardly call it [[Body Paint|a costume]].

* [[Hot Witch]]

* [[Impractically Fancy Outfit]]: Tarot's [[Combat Stilettos|boot-spikes]].

* [[Kids Are Cruel]]: Was bullied along with her sister as a child.

* [[Love Triangle]]: In a [[Triang Relations|Type III love triangle with Boo Cat and Licorice Dust]]. Licorice is really unhappy with this arrangement.

* [[Magical Girl]]

* [[Tarot Motifs]]: Besides her name, she uses tarot cards for divining the future.

 

The older sister of Tarot, Raven is diametrically opposed to the idea of balance between the worlds, instead working to achieve witch dominance over the mortal world. However, she's still an occasional ally to her mother and Tarot.

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Tends to slide between [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type II-IV]].

* [[Dark Is Evil]] / [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Tends to be the latter most of the time, or at least somewhat ambiguous.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Seeks to make a world where witches can freely live and practice magic. In practice, her activities give non-witches ''reason'' to fear them.

 

The only recurring male in the comic and Tarot's boyfriend. Jon gained the ability to [[I See Dead People|see the dead]] and help them materialize after a near-death experience. Taking on the identity of the Skeleton Man, he defends the dead from would-be vandals and thieves (of which there are many in Salem for some reason) and attempt to help Tarot in her various trials.

* [[Author Avatar]]: Jon looks remarkably similar to Jim Balent himself, and if [http://www.the-isb.com/ certain people] are to be believed, Balent also used to work as gravedigger.

* [[Bigger Is Better in Bed]]: Remarked and complimented on by a large amount of women. [[Double Standard|It's never actually shown, mind]].

* [[Boring Failure Hero]]: Jon's ineptitude is legendary. The most notorious example is probably when he's forced to stop pursuing a cadre of homicidal ghosts ''because they refuse to tell him the address of their next victim''.

* [[Chick Magnet]]: Any [[Cute Monster Girl]] who sees him has a high chance of eventually taking advantage of him - see below.

* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Tarot

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Though it's not discussed, Jon won't hesitate to hit a female during a fight, monster or not. Oddly, in one issue he says he doesn't hit girls, despite having done so at least twice in past issues. However, right after saying that his opponent irritates him enough to change his mind... and give her a spanking.

 

A bisexual were-cat manager of a lingerie store, she was Tarot's first love(r). Currently the girlfriend of [[Love Triangle|Licorice Dust and Tarot]], which has begun to create tensions between Licorice and Tarot

* [[Action Girl]]: Occasionally.

* [[Catgirl]]: The exact kind of cat she is is never mentioned, although her fur coloring suggests a panther.

* [[Rape Is Ok When It Is Female On Male]]: She's had sex with Jon while he's been unconscious, but no one, even Tarot, has ever called her out on it.

 

[[Captain Obvious|Tarot and Raven's mother]]. Living with Tarot in their home, she's often a source of advice and help.

* [[Big Beautiful Woman]]: Tarot's mother. She's not really fat, just a ''wider'' version of her daughter, and with an increased bust size to match.

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Despite the comics 10+ year run, she has yet to be called her real name. Hilariously enough, even Jon calls her 'Tarot's mom' when {{spoiler|he swears vengeance on her after she's killed by the World Serpent}}.

* [[Naked First Impression]]: The first time Jon meets her. (He's the one naked, not her).

 

A vampire, currently the lover of Boo Cat (she's really unhappy about sharing her with Tarot)]]. A high school student who was rejected from the cheerleader squad along with her friends, all of them became vampires, killed their master, and killed the cheerleaders via [[Nightmare Fuel|swarm of rats]]. Her role in the story is rather limited, mainly appearing with Boo Cat.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Child molesters; she spent two years murdering at least dozens of them, leaving Boo for two years while she did it. She's also displayed a hatred of the [[Twilight]] series.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Surprised that a recurring female character is used for fanservice?
