* CowardlyYellow: Yellow is associated with fear on the emotional spectrum, with [[CosmicEntity its embodiment]] Parallax needing a host to be afraid before possessing it. The Sinestro Corps play with this idea somewhat, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers as unlike the other lantern corps]] they inflict their emotion rather than feeling it. Among their ranks Amon Sur plays it straight, being a DirtyCoward who could never overcome fear [[LikeFatherUnlikeSon like his father Abin]] and fled when the Green Lanterns were authorized to use lethal force.

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Amon Sur was the son of the legendary Green Lantern Abin Sur. He grew up to be a leader of Black Circle Crime Syndicate. It was implied he was trying to live up to his father's accomplishments and angry that his father was not around to raise him. When he dug up his father body with Hal Jordan and he goes on to say how he should have been different and how his father was never there for him, and it the Green Lantern Corp fault. Hal Jordan had NoSympathy point out not having a father did not excuse his crimes

She was arrested and imprisoned on Oa, but broke free from her cell during a prison riot. While searching for her book, she found the mysterious Book of the Black, only for the Guardian known as Scar to trap her within it. During ''ComicBook/BrightestDay'', Krona freed her and recruited her for his plans.

* MsExposition: Her usual role in the Sinestro corps.

* {{Stripperific}}: Her outfit again.

* FaceHeelTurn: After Krona freed her, she turned against Sinestro for knowledge and not being rescued. [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor She eventually came back around, though.]]

* HorrorHost: "Tales of the Sinestro Corps", a back-up feature of the ''Green Lantern'' comic leading up to (and in the cases of the last two installments, occuring during) the ''ComicBook/SinestroCorpsWar'' arc, had her serve as a horror host by reading a story about a member of the Sinestro Corps from the Book of Parallax. The first three installments had her tell the newly recruited Amon Sur tales where the Sinestro Corpsmen Despotellis, Karu-Sil and Bedovian wreaked havoc (as well as how they were recruited into the Sinestro Corps in the cases of the latter two), the fourth and final installment was the back-up story for the ''Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special'' that began the arc and has her tell the audience a [[UnreliableNarrator considerably biased]] retelling of how Sinestro was disgraced and kicked out of the Green Lantern Corps, with the final installment appearing as the back-up story of the ''Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Superman-Prime'' one-shot and having Lyssa try to scare expecting Green Lantern couple Amnee and Matoo Pree by telling them a story where Sinestro Corps member Kryb took a Green Lantern's child after murdering her and her husband.

* HorrorHost: "Tales of the Sinestro Corps", a back-up feature of the ''Green Lantern'' comic leading up to the ''ComicBook/SinestroCorpsWar'' arc, had her serve as a horror host by reading a story about a member of the Sinestro Corps from the Book of Parallax. The first three installments had her tell the newly recruited Amon Sur tales where the Sinestro Corpsmen Despotellis, Karu-Sil and Bedovian wreaked havoc (as well as how they were recruited into the Sinestro Corps in the cases of the latter two), while the fourth and final installment has her tell the audience a [[UnreliableNarrator considerably biased]] retelling of how Sinestro was disgraced and kicked out of the Green Lantern Corps.

* PunnyName / MeaningfulName: A play on the word "carousel," as her three animal constructs circle around her like a demonic merry-go-round.
* RaisedByWolves / WildChild: Her origin story.

* PunnyName / MeaningfulName: [[DontExplainTheJoke She's a crib.]]

* CardCarryingVillain: While the Sinestro Corps as a whole may hover somewhere around [[KnightTemplar Knight Templar-hood,]] Parallax itself is utterly and gleefully ChaoticEvil, with absolutely no redeeming features or any real goals other than spreading fear.

* HorrorHost: "Tales of the Sinestro Corps", a back-up feature of the ''Green Lantern'' comic leading up to the ''ComicBook/SinestroCorpsWar'' arc, had her serve as a horror host by reading a story about a member of the Sinestro Corps from the Book of Parallax.

* AHouseDivided: In ComicBook/HalJordanAndTheGreenLanternCorps later recruits under Soranik don’t agree with Sinestro’s extremist ideology and they agree even less with being in the same Corps as a bunch of psychotic sadistic murderers and bullies. They willingly follow Soranik into an alliance with the Green Lantern Corps. This works so well that when Soranik goes nuts and embraces her fathers legacy, these recruits decide to stay and become Green Lanterns instead of following her.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Their depredation of Daxam while under Mongul II's control was absolutely brutal, with wholesale slaughter and enslavement of the few survivors that they left being the order of the day. That being said, Daxam was one of the most [[AbsoluteXenophobe xenophobic]] planets in the galaxy, with a cultural belief that they were the lone civilized species and that anything else was a mud race deserving of extinction. Sodom Yat was practically the only Daxamite who ''wasn't'' like this, and his disgust for the rest of his species was so great that he very nearly just left it to Mongul II and the rest of the Corps to tear apart.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Though originally shown in a pair of evil go-go boots, her every appearance since has been barefoot.

** Guy Gardner sees Arkillo as the Yellow Lantern equivalent to himself. Which he proves with a knock-down drag-out bare-knuckle brawl

* TheDreaded: To be part of the Sinestro Corps, you need to be able to inspire great fear, so it isn't surprising that many members of the Sinestro Corps are extremely violent and sinister criminals and monsters of the utmost notorierty. It really says a lot about this requirement when one Sinestro Corps ring came close to recruiting ''Batman''.

* MeaningfulName: A member of the authoritarian Sinestro Corps named ''Despot''-tellis.

* YourWorstNightmare: Members are first initiated by experiencing their worst fear in a "fear lodge", then they get the ability to weaponize others' worst nightmares.

* ADarkerMe: How it usually manifests in comparison to its hosts, Sinestro excepted - probably because he controls it and because there's not much further it can drive him. Indeed, it's a bit unclear how much of a personality it has on its own; it's perfectly intelligent, it just seem to really show much sign of it without a host.

* BodyHorror: Tends to do this to its hosts, with the tamest example being how it likes to give them grins with MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily

** It is repeatedly subjected to this by Sinestro, whose combination of raw willpower and mastery of fear means that he can leash it for extended periods of time. It is not, in any way, shape, or form, at all happy about this.

* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: It has rows and rows of needle-like teeth, a trait it loves to pass on to its hosts.

* VillainDecay: Since the ComicBook/{{New 52}}, Parallax has been not so much a villain of its own as much as a tool for greater power over yellow energy, with its own personality having been ignored for the most part.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Ever since ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'', Parallax’s appearances in comics have been sparse at best, and its current location and activities are unknown.

* ShoutOut: To the [[StarWars Death Star]].
