History Characters / ArrowverseGothamCityCitizens

* IWasQuiteALooker: Mabel often boasts of how attractive she used to be and is bitter about her youth being "wasted" in an unloving marriage and how she's aged to the point of needing an oxygen tank.

* TheBeard: He was unknowingly one for Sophie. Tyler realizes she never loved him, and Sophie later admits it herself. It seems that she was trying to convince herself of being straight through marrying him (though she does show fondness for Tyler).
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Sophie never told him about her relationship with Kate, and he just assumes they were friends at Point Rock. Sophie is in no hurry to tell him otherwise, despite his prodding. When he finds out, he is naturally not amused.

* TheGenericGuy: Doesn't display many character traits, aside from being a honest, reliable agent.

* TheReliableOne: Always assists Jacob and Sophie in their work and seems quite competent at it, too.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: She not only knew who Alice really is, but she also went out of her way to cover up the secret. She later reveals to Jacob that she only wanted to help him and Kate move on. "The Mad Tea-Party" also has her confess to selling her weapons to criminals, although the fact that said confession was made at bombpoint makes the veracity of this confession a bit suspect. However, the fact that her company designed a weapon specifically designed to pierce the Bat-suit doesn't do her many favours. Nor, for that matter, does the fact that the neurotoxin Alice steals and uses to kill Catherine herself was designed by her company to apparently cause a slow, agonising death, without no antidote even developed as a fail-safe. As the use of biological weapons such as neurotoxins is considered a war crime in most forms of armed conflict, one really does have to wonder what a legitimate defence contractor was making it for.

* MamaBear: When Alice poisons her and Mary and only gives them enough antidote to save one, she orders Mary to drink it without a second thought. Before that, she explained to Alice that it was like seeing her own daughter when she saw Kate mourning at Gabi and Beth's funeral, [[IDidWhatIHadToDo motivating her to help Kate and Jacob move on]].

* IJustWantToBeBeautiful: Deconstructed and PlayedForHorror. She is so obsessed with regaining her beauty that she wants a dead younger woman's face to be transplanted onto hers, despite the obvious holes in this plan.

* {{Narcissist}}: She's completely fixated on her vanity to the point of wanting to take on someone else's looks to become as beautiful as she thinks she deserves ''forever''.

* IJustWantToBeBeautiful. Deconstructed and PlayedForHorror. She is so obsessed with regaining her beauty that she wants a dead younger woman's face to be transplanted onto hers, despite the obvious holes in this plan.

* GutturalGrowler: He has a very gravely voice and it increases when he's angry.

* AbusiveParents: While she isn't Alice's mother, her repeated physical and emotional abuse of her over the years they lived together still counts. It's implied that she was like this towards August too. Jonathan is also clearly scared at the prospect of his grandmother moving in with them and considering how she's pleased at his face being fixed, she probably mistreated him due to his burned appearance.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Routinely towards Alice, if she made Mabel's tea too sweet, too hot, or didn't get her what she wanted to eat.

** Her cruelty turned Beth into a traumatized, submissive NervousWreck for a decade, until her desire to steal Gabi Kane's face finally drove Beth over the edge in becoming Alice, making Mabel her first kill.
* GreenEyedMonster: She hated Alice because the girl was blossoming into a beautiful young woman while Mabel was withering away.

* IWasQuiteALooker: Mabel often boasts of how attractive she was in her youth. Deconstructed in that she is so desperate to regain it that she wants a dead younger woman's face to be transplanted onto hers, despite the obvious holes in this plan.

* WouldHurtAChild: Aside from the emotional abuse, she also poured hot tea over Alice's hands several times.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Routinely towards Alice. Mabel would beat Alice if her tea was too sweet, pour it on her hands if it was too hot, and violently attack her if Mabel didn't get what she wanted to eat.
* TheDreaded: To Alice, who remains haunted by everything Mabel put her through well over a decade after the old crone's death to the point of referring to her as the "[[Literature/AliceInWonderland Queen of Hearts]]". She even hallucinated Mabel when dosed with Fear Toxin.

* EvilMatriarch: Of the Cartwrights. In fact, Mabel was likely [[TheChainOfHarm responsible for her son, and in turn her grandson, growing up into such twisted, murderous individuals]]. She even had Alice

** It's implied her domineering nature is why August became a [[MadDoctor psychopathic doctor]] and AbusiveDad to Jonathan.
** Her abuse and desire to steal Gabi Kane's face finally drove Beth over the edge in becoming Alice, making Mabel her first kill.

* HateSink: A savagely abusive and utterly despicable scum of a person who hurts anyone for the most senseless of reasons and only sees others, including her own family, as her slaves or tools to get what she wants. This cruelty turned Alice into a traumatized, submissive NervousWreck for a decade before finally snapping.

* EvilMatriarch: Of the Cartwrights. Heck, Mabel was likely [[TheChainOfHarm responsible for her son, and in turn her grandson, growing up into such twisted, murderous individuals]].
* EvilerThanThou: She somehow manages to be even ''more'' deplorable than August with her horrific treatment of Alice, which damaged her mental and emotional state further. It's telling that even August is afraid of angering his mother.

* GreenEyedMonster: She hated Alice because the girl was blossoming into a lovely young woman while Mabel was withering away.
* HairTriggerTemper: Even something as minuscule as her tea being too sweet causes her to lash out ''violently''.

* IWasQuiteALooker: Mabel often boasts of how beautiful she was in her youth, and is so desperate to regain it that she wants a dead younger woman's face to be transplanted onto hers, despite the obvious holes in this plan.
* {{Narcissist}}: She's completely fixated on her vanity to the point of wanting to take someone else's looks to become as beautiful as she thinks she deserves.

* TheSociopath: Completely self-absorbed, narcissistic, expects everyone to bend over backwards to please her, engages in sadistic punishments when denied anything, wantonly rageful and cruel, and [[LackOfEmpathy devoid of empathy]] for anyone.

* HateSink: A savagely abusive and utterly despicable scum of a person who hurts anyone for the most senseless of reasons and only sees others, including her own family, as her slaves or tools to get what she wants.

* HeteronormativeCrusader: Diane clearly dislikes Batwoman for coming out as a lesbian and believes all homosexuals are "degenerate sinners". Sophie coming out to her also makes her quite unhappy, saying her daughter's "choice" will simply make things harder for her.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Diane sees Batwoman as "a criminal who gets away with it", while having no problem with Batman, who apparently represents values she actually believes in. Sophie quickly zeroes in on the fact that her mother's problem with Batwoman is just homophobia.

* AbusiveParents: While she isn't Alice's mother, her repeated physical and emotional abuse of her over the years they lived together still counts. It's implied that she was like this towards August too. Johnathan is also clearly scared at the prospect of his grandmother moving in with them and considering how she's pleased at his face being fixed, she probably mistreated him due to his burned appearance.

** It's implied her domineering nature is why August became a [[MadDoctor psychopathic doctor]] and AbusiveDad to Johnathan.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: She was an Army intelligence officer who was kidnapped and murdered by terrorists in the comics, while here she was an InnocentBystander who died in a random accident caused by the Joker. Her fate still plays a role in her daughters' [[SuperheroOrigin Origin]] [[StartOfDarkness Stories]] in a way.

* AssholeVictim: No one is the least bit sorry about her gruesome death, as it was well-deserved.

* AbusiveParents: While she isn't Alice's mother, her repeated physical and emotional abuse of her over the years they lived together still counts. It's implied that she was like this towards August too. Johnathan is also clearly scared at the prospect of his grandmother moving in with them.

* AwfulWeddedLife: She claims her husband never loved her and "took too long" to die.
