History Characters / Dimension20FantasyHighJuniorYear

* LivingDistantAncestor: Has one of these in the form of an ancient dragon. He barely knows his ancestor, but gets his spell components from her.
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoilers: Is able to put on a convincing facade of being the TokenGoodTeammate among the Rat Grinders, even [[DatingCatwoman eliciting hints of attraction from/to Adaine]], but it is all a ruse to lower the Bad Kids' guard. It's later revealed that his ancestor was a contemporary of Kalvaxus, hinting at ItRunsInTheFamily.]]

* AuthorSurrogate: Brennan states that Agent Clark was created specifically to counteract Emily's flagrant use of Disguise Self throughout ''Fantasy High'' as a whole.

FreudianExcuse: Apparently his disdain for disguise magic is the result of doppelgangers burning his nest.

* InspectorLestrade: ... All of which is fully undermined by his inability to see through Fig's various disguises; the few times he gets close to figuring it out are subverted by bad rolls or player shenanigans.

* FailedASpotCheck: At one point he gives a speech at Aguefort' assembly hall about the dangers of doppelgangers... oblivious to the fact Fig is disguised as Kristen in the audience; he initially got a nat20 on Perception which Adaine counters with a low portent roll.

* InspectorLestrade: ... All of which is fully undermined by his inability to see through Fig's various disguises; the few times he gets close to figuring it out are subverted by bad rolls or player shenanigans.

* InspectorJavert: He's chasing after someone (read: Fig) at the school who keeps using various disguises and alter egos to dodge classes and cause chaos. It turns out part of it is due to a personal hatred of doppelgangers.

* BlankAffect: Her default mode of expression.

* [[DecoyAntagonist]]/DiscOneFinalBoss: Set up as a authoritarian figure for the Bad Kids to rebel against, and is defeated midway through the season whilst rampaging at the Frosty Faire Festival.

* DecoyAntagonist/DiscOneFinalBoss: Set up as a authoritarian figure for the Bad Kids to rebel against, and is defeated midway through the season whilst rampaging at the Frosty Faire Festival.

* OrderIsNotGood: Very authoritarian, focused on "perfect order". He isn't directly hostile, but isn't particularly good either. [[spoiler:Until he determines that the best way to create order is to be omnipresent in all the students' lives and attempts to kill those who attend a festival. However, as Grix targeted Ruben Hopclap specifically, it may be that he was trying to stop a direct threat to the school due to the ritual Ruben's performance was secretly powering.]]

* {{Hypocrite}}: They hold a grudge against the Bad Kids for being "favored" by the system, but it's later revealed that [[spoiler:their patron would subdue powerful monsters and have one of them strike the death blow, allowing them to reap the rewards of defeating high level foes with none of the risk or effort]].
* LevelGrinding: They're experienced adventurers not because they've gone on any noteworthy quest, but because they were farming XP by killing rats behind the school; hence the party name The Rat Grinders.

* TheCorrupter: [[spoiler: As a paladin of the corrupted Ankarna's domain of rage and conquest, he is able to cast Revivify, [[bringing people back from the dead... but as rage-fueled sociopaths]] - he has attempted to this to some or all of the Rat Grinders as well as Jace Stardiamond and Yolanda Badgood, with only Yolanda and Lucy Frostblade resisting the effect. On a more mundane note, the Rat Grinders only became a legitimate threat after he became their patron, turning them [[FromNobodyToNightmare from a group of nominally obnoxious students into cold-blooded killers.]]]]

* SitcomArchNemesis: Fig is absolutely convinced Porter is evil and is determined to prove it by attending his classes. On Porter's part, he considers Fig one of his best students despite the fact she isn't even enrolled in his class. She even hires Riz between freshmen and sophomore year to spy on him. [[spoiler: Turns out she's right, as he's been the secret patron of the Rat Grinders since at Spring Break of Sophomore Year]].

A devil that terrorized Spire in an attempt to revive his master. He was defeated by Lydia Barkrok's party and sealed in a gem in her chest. [[spoiler: He was originally an elf named Athenriel, Fig's ancestor who worshipped Ankarna and fell with her into the Infernal pantheon.]]

* ThoseTwoGuys: In Freshman and Sophomore Year, was frequently referenced as being paired up with Porter the Barbarian teacher. [[spoilers: Turns out the two were [[EvilAllAlong co-conspirators in a plot to usurp the domain of a dead god.]]]]

* WeAreStrugglingTogether: The story of how their name was changed implies that their teamwork is not the best, as Ruben relishes in the chances to antagonize Kipperlilly and Mary-Ann is too uncommunicative to be helpful. [[spoilers: In addition to their tendency towards in-fighting, they are shown to be secretly derisive of their newest member, cleric Buddy Dawn, and when her plan to assassinate proctor Gavin Pundle during The Bad Kids' Last Standard Exam goes awry, Kipperlilly slits Buddy's throat without hesitation by way of a plan B.]]

* ThePsychoRangers: They're a party of juniors that share the same class composition as Bad Kids, but possess none of their endearing qualities.

* WeAreStrugglingTogether: The story of how their name was changed implies that their teamwork is not the best, as Ruben relishes in the chances to antagonize Kipperlilly and Mary-Ann is too uncommunicative to be helpful.

* LightIsNotGood: A cleric of the sun god dressed in white and one of the most bitter staff members our heroes have had the displeasure of meeting.

* CoolTeacher: He is not really a proper teacher because sorcery is an innate ability in people to cast magic, so a he's really just an older adult friend to hang out and talk-shop with for the most part.

* [[spoiler:BigBad]]: [[spoiler:Of Junior Year. He is the one behind the Rage Crystal conspiracy, and is planning to go against the wishes of Ankarna in order to ascend himself.]]

* ImpoverishedPatrician: [[spoiler:The Sunstone family was once a mighty dynasty that ruled over the Mountains of Chaos with an iron fist, but after the War of Shattered Stones, their empire was wiped off the face of Spyre, and the remnants of the Sunstones became the Cliffbreaker family. Nowadays, Porter is their only representative in the series and works as a high school teacher.]]

* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler: When investigating the Rat Grinder's private server after breaking into lair, the Bad Kids discover texts from Jace Stardiamond [[ManBehindTheMan (one of the teachers acting as their benefactor/co-conspirator)]] pointedly telling them to stop antagonising the Bad Kids, implying that their thirst for vengeance is actively undermining their schemes and drawing unwanted attention.]]

* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler: When investigating the Rat Grinder's private server after breaking into lair, the Bad Kids discover texts from Jace Stardiamond [[ManBehindTheMan (one of the teachers axting as their benefactor/co-conspirator)]] pointedly telling them to stop antagonising the Bad Kids, implying that their thirst for vengeance is actively undermining their schemes and drawing unwanted attention.]]
