The precocious Dragon of Water, Omi believes himself to be [[Small Name, Big Ego|the greatest Xiaolin warrior]] and the leader of the team. Indeed, he believes himself to be [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|the greatest warrior]] on the planet, period. Socially inept and comically oblivious, Omi's flaws are many - but his [[Adorably Precocious Child|youth]], his [[The Messiah|deep and abiding love]] of his friends, and his [[Insufferable Genius|actual combat prowess]] make him loveable anyway.
 
According to the Bird of Paradise, his finest quality is [[True Companions|loyalty]].
Line 19:
* [[Bald of Awesome]]
* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]
* [[Big Ego, Hidden Depths]]: Many episodes (particularly ones where the Dragons have strained relations) suggest that Omi fears being alone and believes that if he is perfect, he will be surrounded by adulating friends and admirers.
* [[Black Bead Eyes]]
* {{spoiler|[[Blood Knight]]: When turned evil by the Ying Yo-Yo.}}
Line 29:
** [[An Ice Person]]
** [[Making a Splash]]: His primary element.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: The Melancholic.
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Played with - Omi wants desperately to be a [[Friend to All Living Things]] and even fits the appropriate [[The Messiah|character type]] for it, but animals find him (and his ego) amusing at best. All except... squirrels.
* [[Funny Foreigner]]
Line 43:
* [[The Messiah]]: A trait played up in "The Apprentice."
* [[Morph Weapon]]: The Shimo Staff.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Omi is usually responsible for a lot of the evil they face.
* [[No Social Skills]]
* [[Parental Abandonment]]
* [[Signature Move]]: Tsunami Strike, Tornado Strike, Wudai Neptune - Water/Ice, Leopard Strike, [[Calling Your Attacks|and so on...]]
* {{spoiler|[[Slasher Smile]]}}: Has one to go along with his {{spoiler|[[Blood Knight]] behaviour when turned evil by the Ying Yo-Yo}}
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]
 
=== Raimundo Pedrosa ===
Line 65:
* [[Bash Brothers]]: With Clay.
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: With Kimiko.
* [[Big Ego, Hidden Depths]]: Rai becomes angry whenever he feels helpless or inadequate, as shown during {{spoiler|the events leading to his betrayal}}. It's straight-up stated in "Dream Stalker" that his lazy, jerk-ish attitude results from his fear of not being good enough and letting others down.
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]
* [[Blow You Away]]
* [[Breakout Character]]
Line 76:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Determinator]]
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: The Choleric.
* [[Green Eyes]]: Of the "spitfire" {{spoiler|and the "[[Heel Face Revolving Door|untrustworthy]]"}} variety.
* [[Handsome Lech]]
Line 101:

The [[Incredibly Lame Pun|warm-hearted but hot-headed]] Dragon of Fire, Kimiko is intelligent and independent. The daughter of [[The Ojou|a wealthy Japanese businessman]], she is accustomed to getting what she wants, be it the latest fashions or the newest technology. However, she never uses that as an excuse to [[Spoiled Sweet|tread on people]] (not that she's [[Hair -Trigger Temper|never]] [[Tsundere|mean]]), and in truth, she's more interested in [[Don't You Dare Pity Me|proving that she can hold her own]] as well as [[One of the Boys|the boys]].
 
According to the Bird of Paradise, her finest quality is [[Action Girl|courage]].
Line 108:
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: With Raimundo.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Jack's flirtations, Omi's oblivious sexism.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Kimiko deeply cares for others, treats people with kindness, and tends to protect the boys, particularly Omi. That does not make her [[Hair -Trigger Temper]] any less terrifying.
* [[Big Ego, Hidden Depths]]: As early as the third episode, it's revealed that Kimiko fears [[Damsel in Distress|being weak or needing help]] and wants to prove that she can keep up with the boys.
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Of the "beautiful" variety when she's normal, but also the "piercing" variety when she's angered.
* [[The Chick]]
Line 115:
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: To Omi.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]
* [[DaddysDaddy's Girl]]
* [[Dye Hard]]: Not only does she have an [[Unlimited Wardrobe]], but also some kind of Unlimited Hair Dye Supply or Unlimited Wig Case.
* [[The Fashionista]]
* [[Flechette Storm]]: The Arrow Sparrow.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: The Sanguine.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]/[[Glass Cannon]]: Depending on the situation, Kimiko alternates between these.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Normally.
* [[Hair -Trigger Temper]]
* [[Lady in Red]]: When in her monk attire.
* [[Kick Chick]]
Line 154:
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Of the "beautiful" variety.
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: The Phlegmatic.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: "Nothin' I dislike more than a smart-alec ''Tersiops truncatus''. ([[Beat]]) Bottlenose dolphin."
* [[Gentle Giant]]
Line 163:
* [[Nice Guy]]
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[Peek -a -Bangs]]
* [[The Quiet One]]
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: From "Screams of the Siren":
Line 169:
* [[Signature Move]]: Seismic Kick, [[Elemental Punch|Wudai Crater - Earth]]
* [[Stout Strength]]: Something of an [[Informed Attribute]]; sideways references are often made to Clay's weight, but he's designed as a [[Top Heavy Guy]] more than anything.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Especially in "Big as Texas," when his father actually appears.
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: Only won against Katnappe after bear-hugging her to near suffocation.
 
Line 199:
* [[Breath Weapon]]: Though he needs a little fuel for it to qualify at first, but later [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|does so without such against Chase Young]].
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: Newman from Seinfeld
* [[Lovable Coward]]: Just watch out when he stops being a coward. Man he can turn scary!
* [[Mr. Exposition]]
Line 215:
* [[Eccentric Mentor]]: Leading to...
** [[Crazy Prepared]]: One interpretation of why he made all those Shen Gong Wu.
** [[Erudite Stoner]]: The [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?|other]] interpretation.
* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: Appears once out of the puzzle box Omi was given, to turn Wuya back into a ghost.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: In his initial appearance.
Line 240:
* [[Ki Attacks]]: [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Repel the Beast!]]
* [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]]
* {{spoiler|[[One -Winged Angel]]: Heylin!Guan can turn into a form even more monstrous than Chase's [[One -Winged Angel]] form.}}
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: About as old as Chase Young, however he survived so long is never explained.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: At the end of his debut episode, he gives Omi his spear, before disappearing without a trace when the monks try to look at him again.

The main villain of the first season, [[Insistent Terminology|Jack Spicer]], [[Card -Carrying Villain|Evil]] [[Teen Genius|Boy]] [[Hypocritical Humor|"Genious"]], is a [[Spoiled Brat|petulant, spoiled rich kid]] with a talent for [[Robot Master|building mechanical contraptions]]. He's dreamed of world conquest for as long as he can remember, but that [[Freudian Excuse|might have something to do]] with his socialite parents busying themselves with [[Lonely Rich Kid|parties instead of parenting]]. By the second season, it's clear that Jack just wants to be taken seriously - something [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|easier said than done]].
 
* [[Adorkable]]
* [[Affably Evil]]
* [[Anti -Villain]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Villains|Type I]]
* [[Badass On Paper]]: Dispite being the laughing stock of the Heylin side he still has a fairly impressive bad guy Rapsheet.
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]
* [[Card -Carrying Villain]]: Literally.
* [[Contractual Genre Blindness]]: Jack is more interested in being a ''proper'' villain than being a successful villain.
* [[Dead Herring]]: Type IV
Line 278:
* [[Mecha Mooks]]: The Jack-Bots and variants.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: He arguably comes off as an accidental version of this trope.
* {{spoiler|[[Not -So -Harmless Villain]]: Omi is the one who keeps him in line [[Villain Decay|even as a heel]], so when Omi went to the future that limit is removed and ends up in a [[Bad Future]] which Jack Spicer's goal of [[Take Over the World|World Domination]] DID come to pass and is able to even defeat ALL of The Heylin.}}
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Chase's blue.
* [[Robot Master]]
* [[The Smart Guy]]: A perfect fit {{spoiler|when he's a good guy}}.
Line 294:
* [[Big Bad]]: Season 1.
** [[Demoted to Dragon]]: What she becomes when Chase Young revives her (with limited powers) at the end of season 2.

* [[Dark Action Girl]]
Line 310:
* [[Sexophone]]: A subtle one is her [[Leitmotif]] once she's human.
* [[Showing Off the New Body]]: The following physical tropes apply only when Wuya is human:
** [[Dark -Skinned Redhead]]
** [[Does Not Like Shoes]]
** [[Evil Redhead]]: Given that red hair was once considered a mark of a [[Hot Witch|witch]], this makes sense.
Line 339:
** [[The Dragon]] / [[The Starscream]]: What he previously was to Hannibal Roy Bean. Succesfully betrayed him and [[Sealed Evil in A Can|locked him away in another dimension]].
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Card -Carrying Villain]]

* [[MesMe's a Crowd]]: In its second appearence, it gains enough Shen Gong Wu that with the Ring of Nine Dragons, it splits into more Jongs.
* [[Four Is Death]]: The amount of Jongs it splits into, called the Fearsome Four.
 
Line 486:
* [[Badass Long Hair]]: The henchman in the black suit.
* [[Bald of Evil]]: The henchman in the white suit, though it's technically a queue, so not entirely bald.
* [[Co -Dragons]]
* [[Cool Shades]]
* [[Man in White]]: Obviously the white-suited henchman.
Line 496:

* [[One -Winged Angel]]: Turns into a larger version of itself to fight Kimiko in a showdown.

{{quote| Voiced by: [[Tom Kenny]]}}

Line 543:
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: While he doesn't exactly die, he is frozen alongside Dyris at the end of the episode.}}
* [[The Hunter]]
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: He's understandably very angry [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|that the monks basically provided the means for Dyris to escape]], but he does admit {{spoiler|that Omi did well at defeating Dyris}}.
* [[Peek -a -Bangs]]: Over his right eye...
** [[Eyepatch of Power]]: ...hiding what appears to be a dead eye.
* {{spoiler|[[Taking You With Me]]}}
