* IronWoobie



* TheWoobie: Ed, kind artist and exiled victim of [[FantasticRacism fantastic misandry]] and [[spoiler: [[DomesticAbuse spousal abuse]]]]. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. He manages to function pretty well for all he's been through.
** In a variation on the typical fan treatment of a Woobie, fans don't want to just comfort Ed, they seem to want to [[BewareTheNiceOnes KILL]] [[BerserkButton ANYONE]] [[MamaBear WHO]] [[PapaWolf HARMS]] [[BigNo HIM!]] Despite no Digger HurtComfortFic being known, certain commenters have made it clear that if any ''did'' appear, the time between it appearing and a ''[[KillItWithFire decisive]]'' [[ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum PPC response]] would be [[InternetBackdraft measured in nanoseconds.]]
** And then he [[TookALevelInBadass rocketed up the]] [[{{Homestuck}} Echeladder]] when facing down Sweetgrass-Voice.[[spoiler: Ed isn't nameless any more]].
*** [[spoiler: Not that he's going to have a chance to use it any longer...]]

* TheLibby: Blood Tail enacted a XanatosGambit that ended up getting her sister driven to madness and killed and her brother-in-law exiled over petty jealousy, because said brother-in-law didn't become her husband instead. She's not exactly popular with the tribe, since pretty much everyone knows that she was behind it; when she gets smug about what happened, Boneclaw Mother puts her in her place.

* ItGotWorse: Her firstborn child died, and she has nobody to take out her rage/grief on aside from [[DomesticAbuse the spouse]] [[LoveMakesYouCrazy she still deeply loves (when she's sane)]]. Meanwhile her sister is taking advantage of her vulnerable state, eventually driving her mad enough to start beating her daughter as well.

* [[ThereAreNoTherapists There Are No Grief Counselors]]: Blood-Tail probably made sure of that.

forgot to add those

Added DiffLines:

* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Since Ed had been exiled, he hadn't talked to anyone before Digger came along (presumably because no one but the hyenas would know where to find him, and they consider him to be unclean since [[AFateWorseThanDeath his name was eaten]] when he was exiled). After seventeen years of silence, he simply ''forgot how to speak'' and the syntax he uses is his best guess at how it works.

* WildChild: Digger at one point suggests that Shadowchild is more or less the demon version of this.

Not much is known
of the Veiled.her, but what is known makes her rather [[{{jerkass}} disagreeable]].


Added DiffLines:

Tropes associated with Bloodtail:
* IfICantHaveYou: She encouraged spousal abuse by her sister because she was envious after Ed chose the sister over herself, with an added TakeThat implying that he was still better off with the madwoman who beat him than he ever would have been with her.

* LoveMakesYouEvil: Blood Tail was [[StalkerWithACrush infatuated]] with [[BigScrewedUpFamily her sister's mate.]] So she goaded her sister into madness, then campaigned to have her former crush exiled for putting her down.
** Boneclaw Mother opines that it wasn't Love that Made Her Evil, and that she was so poisonous by nature that a madwoman with violent tendencies still made a better mate by comparison.
