* UngratefulBastard: She mutated thanks to Wally and Holly's assistance in order to cure her cancer. At the climax of Unity arc, she immediately pins the blame for Unity's destruction on them and is all too happy to leave them at the mercy of incoming Topsider drones, while gleefully commenting to herself how this act will help her become the ruler of the remaining survivors of the colony.

Added DiffLines:

*TookALevelInKindness: Arguably. Over the two years of being mayor of Endtown, Jacob has seemingly abandoned his anti-human propaganda and is more focused on running the colony. When Foxworthy is framed for the murder of Cooper and being the mastermind behind disappearance of pig mutant citizens, Jacob clears him of those charges and spares his life, knowing well that he's innocent, though he still charges him for sedition and sentences him to exile. [[spoiler: Too bad that the rats ignore this and still hang Foxworthy, branding him as pig murderer to the general populace.]]


Added DiffLines:

** This subplot has seemingly been abandoned as of the Pigs arc, as Jacob has apparently taken his duties as mayor seriously and is more focused on keeping the peace and investigating the disappearance of Endtown's pig mutant citizens.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In an attempt to expose the group of cannibals who were behind the disappearance of pig citizens of Endtown, Jacob and Velda set up Walt's girlfriend Portia as bait, and stalk her location without knowing she actually moved to Walt's place. [[spoiler: As a result, Portia is killed and Walt is sent into a frenzied RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the butcher, eventually getting themselves both killed in the ensuing confrontation at the bridge.]]

[[folder: Jacob Jackrabbit]]
An ultra-conservative reporter for the Endtown newspaper, is also the leader of an anti-human association. His fear and loathing of humans (mutated or not) mirrors that of the Topsiders towards anthros. Jake holds "self-acceptance seminars" which are really recruiting sessions for his lynch mob. In Jake's association, changing one's last name to that of one's anthro type shows that you've come to terms with being an anthro.

His scheme to take over Endtown involves manipulating the town's resident KnightTemplar, Octavius Allgood, and the rat security forces, into causing such a mess that the citizens will be more than happy to accept him as their new leader. Milk Trial (and Aaron Marx's intervention) only helped him achieve his goals sooner than expected.

Much of the "Holly's Flashback" arc focuses on an illusory image of Holly's past self - the real Holly disappears shortly after she reaches the ship and never really reappears, though at the end of the arc we are briefly given a sort of supplementary flashback to the real Holly writing the "Dear John" letter she left for Wally. Since the arc ends with her being PutOnABus and we are never treated to an explanation of what, exactly, happened to her to put her in charge of the ship, the whole thing is rather unsatisfying.]]
