History Characters / EpithetErasedAntagonists

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: While Millie in Anime Campaign is much more of a one-note teenage girl, Lorelai is a lot more complex, [[spoiler: due to being affected a lot more by trauma from her mother's death, resulting in fear of her own powers and becoming a shut-in]], and while Millie was shown to still have friends and a social life, Lorelai notably is an extremely lonely shut-in, with her only companionship before the start of the book being her own creations and Molly.

** In Anime Campaign, Millie and Molly were shown to still care for each other despite Millie's brattiness, and their relationship only grows with resentment once [[spoiler: Millie runs away from home with Giovanni]]. In comparison, Molly and Lorelai begins with complicated resentment and [[spoiler: by the end of Prison of Plastic, is shattered to pieces.]]
** Millie and Giovanni in Anime Campaign start dating immediately after they meet and [[spoiler: run away together by the end of adventure 2]] but in Prison of Plastic, this is reduced to Lorelai simply having a crush on him, due to [[AdaptationPersonalityChange Giovanni's changed personality no longer fitting their previous dynamic.]]

* AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: One of the main reasons why she tries to keep her powers encapsulated in her Dream Bubbles. She's secretly afraid of her epithet getting out of control [[spoiler: and believes her epithet was the reason their mother died due to the smoke from the fire. She cries to Naven that she doesn't have much control over it anymore, and is afraid she'll end up hurting someone. Especially Molly.]]

* AnimalMotifs: Where Molly has bears, Lorelai has rabbits, which is why she's wearing a bunny apron and her hat has rabbit ears, and the blonde streaks in her hair resemble the same. Most of her fantasies are shown to involve her turning into a rabbit-themed "heroine", such as the [[MoonRabbit Lunarian warrior]] or the Hare-idan witch.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Lorelai can create food with her epithet, which is a major part of why social services ruled to have Molly stay with Marten when Naven called them on him. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, said food cannot provide nourishment, so while it's good for eating all the candy you want without getting fat, it's useless in normal circumstances, something Molly ''tried'' to point out but was ignored.]]
* BigSisterInstinct: Played with. She used to look out for Molly when they were younger, nowadays she's indifferent and rude to her. [[spoiler: During the group's fight against Graham when she realizes her creations actually ''hurt'' Molly, she panics and gets scared of her sister being hurt far worse.]]

* FreudianExcuse: Her immense immaturity, irresponsibility, and self-centeredness, which edge into downright abusive territory and make her the BigBad of ''Prison of Plastic'', are in fact an attempt at coping with the loss of her mother, who died in a house fire [[spoiler:which Lorelai believes she unintentionally started due to PowerIncontinence]].

* HateSink: As much as you may hate her at the start of ''Prison of Plastic'', she's ultimately a {{Subversion}}. Early on, Lorelai can come across as being just as loathsome as her father: her immaturity, irresponsibility, and self-centeredness have caused no ends of stress and suffering to Molly, and it's indicated that for years, she hasn't faced any repercussions for her nasty behavior. As such, much of the appeal of her character comes from wanting to see her finally get called out, defeated, and humbled. However, later in ''Prison of Plastic'', she does earn a certain amount of sympathy as we learn that she only became this way due to the trauma of losing her mother and [[spoiler:the guilt of believing she may have been responsible for it]]. We do get to see her pay, and it is ''definitely'' satisfying, but afterwards, the possibility of her redeeming herself is put on the table.
* HatesBeingAlone: [[spoiler: Her primary motivation, from making dream bubbles to bothering Molly to trying to impress Giovanni. She does all of it in an attempt to stave off her loneliness, but the dream bubbles are empty of real connection, and she's afraid of making real connections with people due to her powers]].

* {{Hikikomori}}: Functionally one, she doesn't go to school anymore and spends all her time in her dream bubbles. [[spoiler: [[{{Escapism}} The way she immerses herself in fake worlds modeled after fiction to cope with her loneliness and trauma]] can be likened to how a real life shut-in can obsess over media for similar reasons]]. Superpowers aside, she can be considered analogous to a teenager who refuses to leave her house immersing herself in creating and consuming fictional media.

** Even when she [[PetTheDog tries to do something nice for Molly]], it falls flat because she hasn't bothered to try and see things from Molly's perspective. She puts a lot of work into a shared bubble for them to adventure in for a birthday celebration...assuming that, like herself, Molly is eager for a ton of activities, when in fact Molly is [[TripleShifter running on fumes]] (especially after Lorelai spent all that time working on the bubble instead of manning the register or doing her chores) and the ''last'' thing she wants out of life is ''more stuff to do''. Then, when Molly opts to spend one of her few moments of free time in the week of her birthday just relaxing for a moment, Lorelai takes it as a personal insult, and her demand for an apology for that on top of every other apology she gets out of Molly [[RageBreakingPoint is the straw that breaks the camel's back for Molly's patience]].

* NeverMyFault: Lorelai has a tendency to blame other people for everything that goes wrong for her. It's most noticeable in her resentment that Molly doesn't play with her any more...which, to Lorelai, is ''obviously'' Molly's fault and couldn't possibly have anything to do with Lorelai constantly blowing off her responsibilities.

* PowerIncontinence: Her epithet is so strong that she often creates images or warps reality while she's asleep. [[spoiler:This is why she's so scared of it getting stronger and potentially hurting someone else, and part of why she locks herself away in the bubbles. It's implied that she might even be responsible for the fire that took her mother's life.]]
* RhymesOnADime: When she casts her "spells" she usually goes for a rhyme to spice it up. The few times she drops this is when she's startled or scared, [[spoiler: like when she believes she had accidentally killed Rick who [[TakingTheBullet protected Molly from one of her spells]].]]

** [[spoiler: ''Prison of Plastic'' reveals that she once went to a play that hit too close to home regarding maternal death, but when her friends noticed and offered to let her go home if she was too uncomfortable, Lorelai's external response was "It's just a silly show about ghosts." As soon as she was alone at home, she burst into tears, and spent days afterward trying to "fix" it]]

* VerbalTic: WordOfGod [[https://youtu.be/mJxle7Bui00?t=420 states that]] her tendency, when panicking, to get out several "no"s in a rushed tone is a tic she and Molly share.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Downplayed. The only thing that can pry open her reality bubbles and negate her creations is Molly's epithet... of course, since Molly is her sister, she's always nearby in order to do just that, which is presented as part of the reason for Lorelai's animosity towards her.

* TheBully: To Giovanni, at least, which he calls them out on after they [[spoiler:steal the Arsene Amulet from him.]]

* StoutStrength: Bugsy is rotund, but at four stars of stamina he's only slightly less bulky than Indus.

* UnskilledButStrong: Bugsy's power is capable of some damage and he's even got some physical might to use, but its randomized nature makes it inconsistent and he himself doesn't have much actual skill. Fittingly his stats have fairly high stamina, but very low on creativity and proficiency.
* WeakButSkilled: Arnold isn't very useful in a head-on fight, but compensates through buffing and helping out his allies, shown by his stats being low on stamina but higher creativity and proficiency.

* CurseCutShort: Happens to her two times when she [[spoiler:gets electrocuted by Percy's wizard towers via golden Ramsey, and when she realizes he swapped out the real amulet with a fool's gold copy.]]

* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: [[spoiler: Part of her epithet allows her to create weapons and objects made of glass. During her fight with Sylvie, she creates jagged barriers, throwing knives, a spear, and ''ice skates'' while trying to get past his defenses.]]

* TouchOfDeath: [[spoiler: Voluntarily [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]]. Her Epithet could allow her to kill whoever she touches, but the only time we see something similar is when she grabs Sylvie and harms his ribcage so much that it's about to shatter.]]

* TragicVillain: She plans a museum heist for months in advance, wants to steal a small child's epithet against her will, and will gladly hurt or kill anyone who stands in her way, but her motivations are sympathetic: [[spoiler:she wants relief from the constant pain her frail body suffers every day under her Epithet, and since the only other way to heal herself is to [[LifeDrain steal stamina from others]], she figures she may as well lean into that]].

Molly's bratty older sister. Like their father, she pushes all of her responsibility onto Molly and instead spends her time playing in her own little world; literally!. She acts as the main antagonist of "Prison of Plastic," in which Molly and friends must save Giovanni and Naven after Lorelai kidnaps them and traps them in a fantasy world created by her Epithet.

Said Epithet is called "Augment", and it allows her to augment reality in any way she sees fit. She mainly uses to create "Dream Bubbles", tiny pocket dimension-like spaces in which she has total control.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Lorelai can create food with her Epithet, which is a major part of why social services ruled to have Molly stay with Marten when Naven called them on him. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, said food cannot provide nourishment, so while it's good for eating all the candy you want without getting fat, it's useless in normal circumstances, something Molly ''tried'' to point out but was ignored.]]

* EveryoneHasStandards: As bratty and self-centered as Lorelai can be, she draws the line at physically hurting people with her Epithet. She's devastated when [[spoiler:Rick jumps in front of a spell intended for Molly and is seemingly killed and doesn't fight back when Molly starts tearfully hitting her in response, she panics when Naven stops talking after she covers his cage with a blanket and takes time to poke holes in the blanket afterwards when she sees he's okay, and she undergoes a full on traumatic breakdown during the final battle when Molly and Naven are injured and seemingly crushed by Graham respectively. This mainly stems from her belief that her Epithet may have caused the fire that killed her mother, and could one day become so powerful that she can't stop it from accidentally murdering someone else.]]

* LiteralMinded: Giovanni gives her an assignment to test her evil minion potential: bake some cookies! After she uses her Epithet to instantly conjure the cookies, he specifies that they have to be "from the heart". So she uses her Epithet once again to [[OrganAutonomy make her own heart come to life and pop out of her chest]], and has it summon the cookies instead.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Downplayed. The only thing that can pry open her reality bubbles and negate her creations is Molly's Epithet... of course, since Molly is her sister, she's always nearby in order to do just that, which is presented as part of the reason for Lorelai's animosity towards her.

A giant bee-teacher created by Lorelai's Epithet.

A living scarecrow created by Lorelai's Epithet.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: She's a dirty mugger with a knife herself, but Trixie is able to frighten her so bad she actively avoids the alley they met in for ''years'' after the fact according to the narration.
* UnSorcerer: Lacks an Epithet of her own, but she does try and bluff she does when threatened by Trixie.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: They pick a fight with [[BadassNormal Howie Honeydew]] because he's too focused on his work to care that they want him to freeze. The battle is swift, and between Howie's CharlesAtlasSuperpower and [[GunsAreUseless the general ineffectiveness of guns in EE]], it [[CurbStompBattle does not go in their favour]].

* EliteFour: There are four leading officers, called the Corps Officers, that work for them. Currently, only Zora is revealed to be #3.

* NebulousEvilOrganization: Not many details about them are known. From what's been shown and stated in season 1, it's clear that they're a terrorist group made up of mundies and epithet users that share similar ideals, and they seem to want to get rid of epithets entirely. In addition, we only have clear looks at two of their members, one of which hasn't even been named yet beyond being referred to as "Robot Girl" in the credits. There's a third member in a red cloak with CoolShades, but that's it.

* CurseCutShort: Happens to her two times when she [[spoiler: gets electrocuted by Percy via golden Ramsey, and when she realizes he swapped out the real amulet with a fool's gold copy.]]

* FacialMarkings: Has three triangles around each eye. This is a result of her Epithet manifesting on her body due to its strength.
* FairPlayVillain: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged.]] As a thrill-seeker, she likes to give her targets a chance to escape her, but she also abuses her Epithet's power when she tries to catch them and is not above flaunting her superiority over Mundies when she has them at her mercy because of her Epithet. During the climax, she agrees to face Percy and Ramsey in an Epithet-free battle, before revealing that turning off her Epithet will also release on them a butt load of bullets she previously froze in time. [[spoiler:Then, the moment Ramsey makes her lose her temper by breaking her gun, she cheats by using her Epithet. However, after they manage to briefly knock her out and she calms herself, she decides to stop fighting, even though she would still be able to crush them. She admits that she lost because she didn't respect the rules and leaves without any more fuss, though she doesn't give up the Arsene Amulet like she said she would do if she lost.]]

** Hates Epithets because they make competitions of skill inherently unfair, but also likes to flaunt her superiority over others when she has them at her mercy because of her Epithet, such as with Howie. Her treatment of Howie is particularly egregious, since in theory he's the embodiment of everything she claims to respect-- a Mundie who's the best in his field through sheer hard work and dedication. During her fight with Percy and Ramsey, she [[spoiler:abuses the time-stopped bullets she set up beforehand and starts cheating to outright kill her opponents as soon as the fight becomes frustrating.]]

** Her epithet cannot age [[spoiler:Ramsey when he's made entirely out of gold since gold in its pure state does not corrode.]]

* MasterOfAll: All of her stats are in their third and final Nova tier, putting her leagues above the other Epithet users in season one. Basically, take the star ratings under her folder here and add ten apiece.

* OrphansOrdeal: It's safe to say that losing both of her parents as a child affected her growing up; she remarks that her "heart is broke, but body willing," thus she continues to live on and fend for herself as long as she can. It's also notable that in the music video, the blood stain left behind when her parents die never disappears, only dries up and fades on the wood background, implying the event still affects her to this day.
* PetTheDog: [[BreakingTheFourthWall She used her Epithet to make the commercial break of the Season 1 finale one minute shorter by speeding it up.]]

* BewareTheCuteOnes: [[spoiler:Don't let her CatSmile and giggly attitude fool you into thinking she's harmless - if you can see past the glitch effects on her [[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1600960882229407745 character card]] for Prison of Plastic, you can see that ''all of her stats'' are at [[MasterOfAll the Max rank]]]]. [[spoiler:It should also be noted that if you can make out what it says for her epithet, she's actually a ''mundie'']].

!!??? / [[spoiler: Moot Tarbella]]

* ObliviouslyEvil: Or at least Obliviously An Asshole. Lorelai [[ItsAllAboutMe has trouble grasping that she's not the main character of the universe]] and as such tends to assume that her actions are justified, or at the very least are "no big deal". Of course, having trouble grasping that sometimes you're the {{Jerkass}} is hardly unusual for teenagers, especially in the context of Martin's ParentalFavouritism.

* SharedUnusualTrait: While her hair lacks the multicolored star-shaped patches her father and sister has, she does have similarly multicolored freckles on her face and shoulders.

* PersonalityPowers: Arnold's abilities are based around coupons, which is quite fitting considering he is obsessed with deals and savings.

* SmallNameBigEgo: The duo really let promotion get to their heads, using it as an excuse to act high-and-mighty and bully other Blasters. Naturally, they don't last long when faced with an experienced police officer.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: A platonic example; she's the tiny girl to Indus' huge guy.

* ShipTease: Indus' flexing gets her [[EatingTheEyeCandy attention]], they live together and she gets pretty flustered when asked if she likes him.

* PetTheDog: While it was wasted due to her

* ItsAllAboutMe: Lorelai often shirks her responsibilities, pushing them onto Molly in favor of spending all day playing in her Dream Bubbles. She also often criticizes Molly for ''daring'' to mention that having to take on Lorelai's workload on top of her own is unbearably stressful to her, and for asking her to take a break from exploring her fantasy worlds in order to help out a little.

* Jerkass: Being a proud villain and the main antagonist of the Western Arc, Zora is a terrible person. Even when not actively attacking her victims, she's insulting and mocking them relentlessly while toying with them for fun.

* DarkandTroubledPast: [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2eI7baXzw3M Great at Cowboy's extension]] reveals that she was the child of two paleontologists, who were shot right in front of her by a Banzai team after digging up an artifact they wanted. She grew up alone in the forest and learned to be a proficient marksman, murdering multiple Banzais. She then later joined Bliss Ocean after the leader sought out and recruited her.

* Orphan'sOrdeal: It's safe to say that losing both of her parents as a child affected her growing up; she remarks that her "heart is broke, but body willing," thus she continues to live on and fend for herself as long as she can. It's also notable that in the music video, the blood stain left behind when her parents die never disappears, only dries up and fades on the wood background, implying the event still affects her to this day.

* DarkandTroubledPast: [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2eI7baXzw3M "Great at Cowboy's extension"]] reveals that she was the child of two paleontologists, who were shot right in front of her by a Banzai team after digging up an artifact they wanted. She grew up alone in the forest and learned to be a proficient marksman, murdering multiple Banzais. She then later joined Bliss Ocean after the leader sought out and recruited her.

* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxEwDx5oPO8 "Countdown"]]

* Smurfette: Inverted. The only presumed male among the rest of the Bliss Ocean officers.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Bordering on VerbalTic, he has an almost reflexive habit of spouting out the fact that his epithet is Barrier. From being asked about it, to saying it in situations where barriers can be used, to using it as a conversation starter, all the way up to muttering about it in his sleep. If a situation has even a remote reason for him to tell people about the fact his epithet is Barrier, he will do so.
