Robert: I've put Character Derailment etc here for now, but it may be worth creating a Character Arc index under Characters for all the various ways characters develop or devolve. Any thoughts?
Shire Nomad: If I'm understanding this category correctly, the following tropes don't fit at all, as they all have little if anything to do with the actor or directorial decisions:
- The Clavin
- Defector from Decadence
- The Empath
- Failure Knight
- Five Races
- One-Gender Race
- The Ditz
- Straight Man
- The Straight Will And Grace
I'm moving them all to other categories.
Fly: I don't think Always Female has a lot to do with this trope either, so I'm cutting it out.
Trogga: Wasn't there a page called Overused Recurring Character?
