The Inkworld Trilogy/Characters

The characters of The Inkworld Trilogy. Additions welcomed.

Blessed With Suck: How he views his powers, which robbed him of his wife years ago. He gets over it eventually, but he never reads out loud to Meggie.
Casting Gag: Brenden Fraser is stated to be the vocal inspiration for him. Not only does he take up that role in the movie but also did the audio book for Inkspell.
Curtains Match the Window
Happily Married: To Resa.
The Hero: Eventually, in Book 3.
Nice Guy: Compared to some of the other heroes - who can at times be petty and selfish - Mo is the straightest example of this.
Papa Wolf

Demoted to Extra: Always prominent in the plot, Meggie nonetheless diminishes in significance after the first book, going from The Protagonist to Supporting Protagonist. A common criticism of Book 3 is that her only Arc was "choosing between two suitors".
Hair of Gold
The Hero: In Book 1, and arguably in Book 2 (which is more of an Ensemble piece).
Kid Heroine
Plucky Girl

Anti Hero: Type IV
Back From the Dead
The Big Guy: Somewhat, during the first two books before he ascends to The Lancer.
Cynical Mentor: To Farid.
Disappeared Dad: He left two daughters (and his wife, Roxanne) behind in the 'Inkworld' when Mo read him out. One has since died of illness.
Good Scars Evil Scars
Heroic Sacrifice
The Lancer: Becomes this to Mo in Book 3.
Lovable Traitor
Playing With Fire
Redheaded Hero
- Adaptation Dye Job: Was made a blond in the film.
Scars Are Forever: Til Inkdeath, where they're erased
Wild Card

The Chick
Cute Mute: Until Inkspell.
Hair of Gold: Though, it had gotten darker over stress while being forced to serve Capricorn during Inkheart.
Happily Married: To Mo.
Hot Mom
Missing Mom: In Book 1, due to having been sucked into "Inkheart" years ago.
Plucky Girl
Shapeshifting: Inkdeath. Transformation type, she turns into a swift.
Trapped in Another World: Though as it turns out, she was read out by Capricorn's 'reader', Darius, years before the main story began.
Wholesome Crossdresser: Her first time in the Inkworld had her in men's clothing.
Yamato Nadeshiko

Heroic BSOD: He descends further into one the more out of control his own story's plot goes
Jerkass: At times, and always appropriately called out on it.
- Jerk With a Heart of Gold
My God What Have I Done: Unfortunately for Fenoglio, the Stormtrooper Effect does not exist in the Inkworld...
The Smart Guy

Bald of Evil: In the film, due to having shaved it off. It also shows there that he used to have a Beard of Evil. It's unclear how much of this holds true in the novel itself.
Big Bad: Of Inkheart.
Book One Final Boss
Complete Monster
Expy: Of Adolf Hitler himself, according to Word of God. Holds true in-story, though it's not stated outright.
Freudian Excuse: It's not used to excuse his actions though, just to explain them. Fenoglio even points out that while it always existed, he deliberately left it out of the story.
Karmic Death
Lack of Empathy
The Sociopath

Animal Motifs: Foxes.
Arch Enemy: To Dustfinger.
Came Back Wrong: Deliberately, thanks to Orpheus.
The Dragon: To Capricorn in Book 1, to Mortola onwards.
- Dragon Ascendant: Subverted, he doesn't actually lead Capricorn's fireraisers after his demise, due to the fact that most of them perished in Inkheart.
Even Evil Has Standards: Unlike the other Fireraisers, Basta - despite his capacity for evil and cruelty - isn't really a sadist, nor does he Kick the Dog (certainly not For the Evulz). Even Dustfinger acknowledges this.
- It may explain why he wasn't Retconned in the first book's climax, as well.
Killed Off for Real
Knife Nut
Start of Darkness: According to Fenoglio, he has one of these, which is actually surprisingly sympathetic.
