* BullyingADragon: He finds himself on ''both'' ends of this trope.

** On the flip side, he becomes the Bully when [[spoiler: the Unown]] are dealt with, seeing it fit to blame everybody around him, which includes not only the Champion of Alola, with his cluster of Pokémon, but his family, the only people who can actually save his sorry ass after what he did.

* TheCorruptible: He was already pretty bad with his untreated anger issues, but once [[spoiler: [=UnChloe=]]] enters the picture, Parker devolves into an absolute monster.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While he hates everyone in Vermillion City with a burning passion, his love and admiration for Chloe, and his sympathy towards her situation, are entirely genuine.
* EvilerThanThou: After [[spoiler: the Unown]] are in his control, he proves himself to be this to Sara, not only ''traumatizing'' her and a dozen more students, but turning Vermillion City into a living hell and driving [[spoiler: Goh]] to near-suicide, causing much more damage to everyone around him in a few days than Sara did in her high school career.
** A need to justify himself. Not only does he play the BlameGame, but whenever he does, he always comes up with some sort of justification for his actions, whether they actually justify it or not.
** Extremism. [[NotSoDifferent Just like Goh]], Parker goes above and beyond necessary in order to achieve a goal, whether it is making people pay for hurting his sister, or ensuring Vermillion City's a paradise for when she returns.

He then has the ''gall'' to try justify everything he did to Ash and friends, ''to his own mother'', by saying how Ash took everything away from him, again, conveniently ignoring not only his, but Chloe's role in it. Finally, when his father comes to tell him about his court date, [[WhatTheHellHero he decides to snap at his father how he should've done more so this wouldn't have happened]].
* NotSoAboveItAll: Not only is he just as capable of going how it's NeverMyFault like his father and sister, but he's just as willing to play the BlameGame and act like he's superior just because he's technically WiseBeyondTheirYears. [[NotHelpingYourCase This doesn't help him in the slightest]].

* AllForNothing: He did all of the horrible, unspeakable things he did in Act 2 to try and get the catharsis that he ''thinks'' Chloe deserves. As a result, [[spoiler: his family is in ruins, the campaign made in Chloe's name has been tarnished alongside Chloe's reputation, just about everybody hates him for what he's done, and to top it all off, even ''Chloe'' is disappointed in him.]]
* BigBadSlippage: Parker grows progressively angrier and angrier as the events of Act 1 and 2 go on, with not only Goh worsening and Chloe still nowhere to be found, but with everybody either throwing blame or denying it. [[spoiler: And once the Unown appear, he evolves into the BigBad]]

* BlameGame: Has a very bad habit of blaming others for their faults while assuming he's innocent. He ''does'' make good points but ultimately him not telling anyone about his sister's problems prevented them from doing more to help her. When he's asked why he never told this to his parents sooner, Parker points out that he heard them argue the night of the paint-can incident and it convinced him that telling them about Chloe would just make them hate her.

Chloe's younger brother, who is into Pokémon and also share some of the same interests as his sister, essentially being her Number 1 fan. Although, he might have been a bit too supportive...
----
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Was essentially like Max in the anime -- a young boy who is into Pokémon -- but this one has him as a NightmareFetishist like his sister and that the two had a pretty close bond who encouraged and would stand up for her. WordOfGod stated that she wanted to make sure that she did ''not'' make Parker just another copy of Max.
* AesopCollateralDamage: [[spoiler:After the Cyan Desert Car/Unown Arc, Parker realizes how he had done more harm than good and vows to be a good boy from now on. But this came at the cost of his family's reputation destroyed, them possibly losing their house and Chloe losing a lot of self-confidence just before she has to stop a cult.]]
* AmbiguousInnocence: Parker knows what is "Good" and "Bad" on what he feels and how he's seen his sister react. So he bases people who are "good" and "bad" based on those actions. For example, Ash is a good person at heart, but Parker sees him as "bad" for not making his sister feel like she was a person and never doing anything more to help her. [[spoiler:And it's gotten worse now that he has the power of the Unown on his side...]]
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Apparently likes to tease his sister about her dislike of curry. That said, he doesn't hate her enough that he wants her gone. Later chapters reveal he was the only person in Chloe's life who shared her interests and was essentially the closest thing she had to a friend, which makes his line that he loved her harder to look at.
* AscendedExtra: Has even ''less'' screen time than his sister in the anime, but in this fanfic, he has a storyline when he's trying to become more mature and be Yamper's trainer in his sister's place and also revealing that he knew more about Chloe's HiddenDepths than anyone ''else'' did. A comment from the author says that starting at Chapter 13, he'll have a bigger role, [[spoiler:and that role is to be the one to unleash the Unown in Chapter 17]].
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Tragically deconstructed. Being five, his mind can shift into different directions with little stimulation. [[spoiler:This is not good for Professor Cerise because when Parker gains terrible power and starts abusing it even when someone can get Parker to start coming down from it it doesn't take much to make his mind leave self-reflection and go to topics like sleepovers and amusement parks]].
* BatterUp: Carries his sister's softball bat in Chapter 13...and was about to use it to crack someone's head open. He starts carrying it in future chapters, mostly as a way of using it to fight back bullies. [[spoiler:And he puts it to good use to beat Yeardley up four chapters after he nearly crushed the bully's skull in.]]
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He loves his sister's stories and wishes to be in one. [[spoiler:Zeno]] gives him what he wanted...and learns there's a difference between reading a book or seeing a horror show compared to ''living'' in a nightmare.
* BerserkButton:
** Insult Chloe at your own peril around him, else he will either get his sister's softball bat to break your bones [[spoiler:or perhaps you'd like the Unown to prepare your punishments for you.]]
** Mentioning Goh is another one too since the boy stopped caring for Chloe after he became obsessed with Mew.
* [[BigBrotherWorship Big Sister Worship]]: Looked up to his big sister and found her horror stories to be the best thing ever. He feels horrible upon learning that she ran away and felt like it was because he didn't love her enough. According to the author notes in Chapter 11, it's thanks to Chloe that Parker is more confident in being okay with his interests. He also stands up to his sister's bullies when they start gloating about how they harassed her. [[DeconstructedTrope This isn't without issues, however]] - he doesn't acknowledge Chloe's flaws and defaults to thinking the absolute worst of everyone who didn't support her as he did.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: White to him is "being there for his sister". What's black to him is "those who hurt his sister be it bullying her or ignoring her". [[spoiler:Combine this with the power of the Unown and you have a child who will unleash hell on '''everybody in Vermillion City''' for leaving his sister behind.]]
* BlameGame: Has a very bad habit of blaming others for their faults while assuming he's innocent. He ''does'' make good points but ultimately him not telling anyone about his sister's problems prevented them from doing more to help her. When he's asked why he never told this to his parents sooner, Parker points out that he heard them argue the night of the paint-can incident and it convinced him that telling them about Chloe would just make them hate her.
* BreakTheCutie: Combined with RageBreakingPoint when faced with Sara and the other bullies' EvilGloating, as they make clear just how much they ''relished'' hurting his sister, and are clearly enjoying seeing him in pain as well. [[spoiler:Seeing them in the lab under punishment by their parents makes his anger boil over and he triggers the Unown in response.]]
* BrutalHonesty: Is very blunt at Ash finally showing up at the Cerise house ''after'' Chloe ran away and only arriving to ask for help about what type of person she was ''now'' instead of when she was still at the Cerise Lab.
* ChildProdigy: He is able to write a re-telling of ''The Little Match Girl'' at age 5.
* CompositeCharacter: As the younger sibling figure, he combines Max and Bonnie -- being cheerful children that don't have a problem with horrifying stuff and are unable to have a Pokémon as of yet -- but Part 2's author notes have him also gain the role of [[VideoGame/SilentHill2 Laura]] as they are bratty kids who have a hatred towards the James Sunderland (Goh) figure due to blaming them for what happened to Mary (Chloe).
* CruelMercy: Gives this to Sara and Yeardley, [[spoiler:letting them live purely so they can suffer from everything he and [=UnChloe=] made them confess to.]]
* DeathGlare: Gives one to Patricia when she tries to explain that all the bullying on his sister stemmed from jealousy issues.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Started when he attempted to bash Yeardley's skull in, but firmly crosses into this when [[spoiler:he gleefully has [=UnChloe=] MindRape and torture the two bullies ater their lives were pretty much ruined -- albeit it ''did'' reveal more as to why said bullies tortured his sister -- and then starts working on everyone else...]]
* TheDreaded: A kindergarten class runs away from him in fear when he stands up for a student, Jinny, they were picking on. [[spoiler:And now ''everyone'' is going to fear him as long as he has the Unown on his side.]]
* EasilyForgiven: Completely averted. [[spoiler:After everything he has done in the Unown Arc, there is no way in Hades that people are going to forgive him so quickly. Delia and Ash, two of the kindest people in story, spell out that they'll ''never'' forgive him for what he did.]]
* EnfantTerrible: [[spoiler:A 5-year-old RealityWarper with a sadistic streak spells doom for ''everybody''.]]
* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:When you have god-like power]], getting upset at the idea that Goh gets a gift card when he 'doesn't deserve it' in your eyes is a bit petty.
* FatalFlaw: Wrath. His rage against anyone who ignored or hurt his older sister -- regardless of whether they're good people at heart -- causes Ash's guilt complex to worsen and nearly gets Parker in trouble when he attacks Yeardley. The fact that he's convinced he's completely justified in lashing out blinds him to others' feelings or the consequences of his actions. This later just stems to those who pick on others. [[spoiler:And in his anger, he unleashes the full wrath of the Unown.]]
** A lack of consideration for how people handle fear. He seems to believe that if ''he'' can handle something scary, everyone else can. This compromises his ability to feel [[spoiler: guilt at what he did to Goh and the class...if he could come out the other side of a really scary story unscathed, why can't they? Besides, it's not like they feel bad for what ''they'' did to his sister and how they made ''her'' afraid to raise her voice.]]
* TheFinalTemptation: He is given this at the end of the Unown arc involving Goh. [[spoiler: he fails it, choosing to torture Goh]].
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Just before he goes to watch ''The Noctowl House'' in Chapter 9, the game he was playing depicted [[VideoGame/{{Limbo}} a boy in a dark woods who just had his neck pierced by the leg of a giant Ariados]], hinting that Chloe's not the ''only'' child in the Cerise family who likes dark stuff.
* FiveStagesOfGrief: Goes through Denial and Bargaining, the former when Professor Cerise tells the truth of Chloe disappearing and the latter when he convinces Yamper to take food from him in the hopes of making Chloe return. Quickly defaults to Anger, against Ash, Goh, the school bullies, and everyone who did not help his sister. [[spoiler:This leads him to unleash the Unown in retaliation.]]
* FreakyIsCool: His reaction to his sister reading one of her stories was that he loved it. It's deconstructed as it's made clear that he only enjoys horror stories like his sister does if the things he reads about are happening to other people, and as Zeno points out, ''reading'' about something is completely different from actually ''experiencing'' it. This is why he saw nothing wrong with showing other people his horror stories regardless what they thought of it, and looks down on those who don't like horror, [[{{Hypocrite}} making him no different from those who bullied his sister for not liking Pokemon]]. Once Zeno takes him into a simulation straight of a horror story, he gets excited, only to quickly change his tune and be reduced to tearfully begging Zeno to stop when Zeno warps it so he'll get to see exactly what he put Goh through for himself.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Parker in Act 1 was a little brother who was shocked to learn his sister ran away from home and revealed himself to be very supportive of her, with Chloe's classmates believing he couldn't do anything to stop them. Parker in Act 2 shows off his rage at everyone who harmed said older sister [[spoiler:and then gives him the power of the Unown to unleash hell in the name of his sister and ends up causing a ''lot'' of damage in the process]].
* HiddenDepths:
** Outside following his sister's love of the macabre, he likes girly shows like ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic My Little Ponyta: Friendship is Magic]]'' and ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst''.
** He's also into ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'' and ''Manga/TheNightmareBeforeChristmasZerosJourney''.
** He's just as good as his sister when it comes to writing stories as he put his own spin onto "The Little Match Girl" that ends with the abusive father and eldest daughters burned alive.
** He shows love for Music/TheBeatles as he references how [[Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand Billy Shears gets by with a little help from his friends.]] Chloe also notes that Parker would've loved how she was emulating a line from [[Music/MagicalMysteryTour "I Am The Walerin"]] for how she was "sitting in a Galar garden, waiting for the sun".
* IllKillYou: Like his sister, he declares this to her bullies. [[spoiler:And it's this declaration that activates the Unown.]]
* {{Irony}}:
** He is the last person in Chloe's circle of family and friends to learn about the Infinity Train, yet was the first person to actually know who Chloe was as a person.
** For all of his desires to do the right thing for Chloe, he may be doing the ''most'' damage with the [[spoiler:Unown and [=UnChloe=]'s actions]] and is missing the mark on a lot of what Chloe actually wanted.
** As lampshaded at the end the last horrible thing he does with the Unown, [[spoiler: putting Goh into mental torture]], is actually motivated as much by empathy, a positive emotion that his parents encouraged, as the wrath and anger issues his parents missed.
* ItsPersonal: Deconstructed. His grudges against even those who had little to no involvement in Chloe's misery at home motivated him to unleash the Unown on Vermillion City, leading to many innocents getting hurt and psychologically traumatized in the name of "justice" for his sister. While it does give him catharsis, it also makes ''everyone'' hate him for what he did, yet being a young child with a black-and-white mindset, he can't and refuses to understand how his actions had the opposite effect of what he wanted.
* JerkassToOne: Barring Chloe's classmates, Parker is nice and friendly to everyone and warms up to Ash after the Pallet Town trainer wows him with a ghost story. The person Parker hates is Goh, for abandoning his sister for Mew. [[spoiler:Or not...it turns out he never truly forgave Ash for leaving his sister behind. Goh is just the one person he hates ''most''.]]
* JustAKid: He was mocked by Class 5-E for being unable to stop them since he was too little and Parker feels so insignificant since barely ''anyone'' notices his problems. [[spoiler:He then gets attention when he uses the Unown.]]
* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Inverted, as he's only five, but he shows increasing signs of becoming this, lashing out at Ash when he tries to make amends and trying to outright murder Yeardley after he's already gotten his confession and publicly humiliated him. Heaven help Goh when Parker sets his sights on him...[[spoiler:and then to everyone ''else'' after Parker unleashes the Unown.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: For his using the Unown as torture instruments to "punish" everyone for harming his sister, he has to watch as everyone turns against him and his family, with his parents facing lawsuits and his father facing potential unemployment for what he did. The Calling Chloe movement, the one good thing that spawned from Chloe's disappearance, is now reviled as a symbol of the destruction the Unown caused. His attempts to have Goh go through EpiphanyTherapy only succeeds in making the older boy suicidal since his attempts to "help" were born out of vengeful sadism, and he is forced by Zeno to see the horrors of what he put Goh through. He also gets slapped hard in the face by Ash for his actions, with no one interfering.
* LongList: He brings up a huge list of horror shows that his sister loves from the mainstream (''Are You Afraid of the Dark?'') to somewhat obscure (''Phantom Investigators''). [[spoiler:He makes a new to-do list when he starts using [=UnChloe=] to check off everything he wants to do to ''everyone''.]]
* MeaningfulName: His name means "Park keeper" which relates to how he protected Chloe from others by keeping her secrets for her. It could also refer to [[spoiler:his desire to turn Vermillion City into a park for Chloe, where she can be completely safe and never run away again...no matter what he has to do to create it.]]
* MrImagination: Being five and around a sister who loves writing horror stories gives him a lot of ideas for his own. [[spoiler:Then you combine it with the power of the Unown...]]
* NeverMyFault: A tragic case as he's only five.
** [[spoiler:While he isn't without remorse after the Unown incident, it's quite clear that he ''still'' blames the others for not 'doing enough' first.]] This attitude doesn't earn him any favors.
** [[spoiler:He doesn't show that much sympathy for the torture he put Goh through as he felt like Goh needed some ToughLove for all that he did to Chloe, albeit he probably isn't aware that Goh just got transferred into a ''suicide ward''. He changes his tune quickly when he sees firsthand just what Goh went through.]]
* NightmareFetishist: Turns out he ''also'' had the same love of macabre things like his sister. In particular, he loved Chloe's story of the Specter of the Black Forest. He himself likes horror stories that take place at a summer camp: his favorite horror series was ''Series/ScaredyCamp'' and he loved the "Dreamcatcher" episode of ''Series/TheHauntingHour''. [[spoiler:And he ''really'' enjoys watching the horrors [=UnChloe=] unleashes on his behalf.]]
** Deconstructed in Chapter 22 when [[spoiler:Zeno decides to place Parker in one of Chloe's stories. At first, Parker is excited to actually see all of the characters Chloe made...then Zeno shows off [[SarcasmMode the new and improved]] [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Revolver]], [[MonsterClown Playmaker]] and [[LivingShadow Soulburner]].]] He only enjoys scary things if they're happening to ''other people'', be it imaginary characters in fiction or people he feels deserve it. As soon as ''he's'' living a situation that actually terrifies him, the fun abruptly stops.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His DisproportionateRetribution all but invalidates everyone's efforts to improve things for when Chloe returns and traumatized Chloe just before she needed to be strong to fight the Apex. His father spells out that he's risked their future and Chloe's well-being with his actions.
* NotSoDifferent:
** Really dislikes how Goh is also suffering because of how he deserved it for abandoning Chloe, but when Serena points out how unfair it is, he only replies it makes ''him'' happy to see Goh in pain. Serena then brings up that this mindset makes Parker no better than the bullies who hurt his sister...not that Parker seems to notice it as he points out that at least he's doing it in the name of Chloe.
** He hates Sara with a passion for making his sister miserable, but considering the sort of horrible things he does to people he wants to make miserable, he might not be as far from her as he thinks he is.
*** Sara mocked Chloe for liking something different from everyone else and not liking what others do. He mocks Renji for being scared of horror (or rather it's more how Renji was coward that never did more to ''help'' Chloe and only revealed this '''long after''' Chloe vanished).
** He is as capable of going NeverMyFault as much as his father and Goh are.
** Resents people for assuming that ''everybody'' should like Pokémon, when he assumes that everyone could handle the same horror he can.
* OnlySaneMan: He appears to be this in regards to Chloe, being the only one in her immediate circle who supported and gave her the love and attention she needed. [[DeconstructedTrope This feeds into his justifications for lashing out at everyone else and it soon becomes clear he]] ''[[DeconstructedTrope isn't]]'' [[DeconstructedTrope so sane after all]].
* ParentalFavoritism: Chloe assumes that her little brother is the favorite in the family because he's extroverted and likes Pokémon, two traits she doesn't have. Turns out that it's not true at all as Professor Cerise himself was shocked to learn about his son's love of girly things.
* PinkySwear: Did this with his sister to not tell anyone about her entering a horror writing contest. Unfortunately, he's had to break that promise if it means there's a chance of finding her (his sister messaged Parker that it's okay as she knew that he was going to break it eventually).
* PrecisionFStrike: Calls one of Chloe's classmates a "dumbass" for thinking that Chloe is into Pokémon. Making this more notable, he's only ''five''.
* PsychologicalProjection: Thinks Chloe wants her bullies to suffer painfully, [[spoiler:and uses [=UnChloe=] to echo this belief]], because that's what ''he'' wants to do.
** He also assumes that Goh and everyone else should be able to handle the nightmares because ''he'' could.
* PureIsNotGood: At age 5, he is shown to be the most innocent character in the Pokémon world with wisdom about Chloe being okay. At the same time though, this blinds him to the more complicated relationships others have and he takes a black and white view when it comes to his sister. If you're like him and were concerned and took care of her, he's on your side. If you ''aren't'', then he's just a few seconds away from bashing your head in with his sister's softball bat. [[spoiler:And then he gets his hands on the Unown...]]
* RageBreakingPoint: Just like his sister but he's quicker to give in to his rage due to his youth.
** Parker snaps after hearing everything that Chloe's classmates did to his sister and would've broken someone's skull with a bat if Ash and Gengar didn't intervene in time.
** Then he snaps even more in Chapter 17 when [[spoiler:the Unown senses his anguish at how he wants Sara and Yeardley to pay for all they did to his sister.]]
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:He obtains the powers of the Unown in Chapter 17 and he uses it to create a copy of his sister.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He loves his sister's spooky stories and is also familiar with the Pokémon world's equivalent of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' as he quoted two lines from the episode "Luna Eclipsed". The author notes confirmed that he's a fan of ''My Little Ponyta: Friendship is Magic''. Chapter 12 reveals he also loves ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst''.
* RejectedApology: He cannot accept anyone's apologies as long as Chloe is gone, since they cannot fix anything without Chloe being present so they can prove that they're sincere. But since Chloe ''can't'' come back at the moment due to the fact that she still has a number, this makes Parker view ''every'' apology as hollow, regardless of whether or not they truly are. And every single one makes him angrier and angrier...
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Initiates one when he obtains the power of the Unown in an attempt to avenge his sister on every single person who hurt her.]]
* {{Sadist}}: Downplayed, but he admits to Serena that the bullies suffering would make him happy, and [[spoiler:very much enjoys watching the MindRape [=UnChloe=] puts Sara and Yeardley through and is quite happy to do similar tortures to other classmates of hers.]]
* SecretKeeper: He was the only one who knew about his sister's NightmareFetishist tendencies and is horrified at having to break that promise if it means finding out where she's gone. The Intermission has Chloe email her father that she forgives Parker for revealing everything. This gets deconstructed; he had all the chances to tell what was going on with Chloe and not doing so made it even harder for his parents to ''do'' something. He was afraid of telling them because he felt like his parents wouldn't like how Chloe was "different".
* SelectiveObliviousness: Tunes out ''anything'' that would mess up his perfect image of Chloe. [[spoiler:When Renji points out that Chloe did ''less'' to make a connection than Ash had and he wasn't punishing her by 'making ''her'' dance like a freak', all Parker hears is his sister being called a 'freak'.]]
** Acts as though the class hadn't been punished for their actions and that nobody was doing anything to make amends in order to justify his actions with [[spoiler:[=UnChloe=]]]...ignoring how they ''were'' punished and Ash and co. ''were'' doing everything they could to make amends. He is harshly called out on this when [[spoiler:the Unown]] are dealt with.
* SoProudOfYou: Talia praises Parker for actually trying to understand his sister when everyone else failed to do so. Professor Cerise also expresses this once he realizes how horrible he had been to both his children. [[spoiler:Well, until the Unown attack...]]
* SpidersAreScary: As part of his love of the macabre, he's into spiders. He just got to the part in ''Limbo'' when the boy got attacked by a giant Ariados, and the "Dreamcatcher" episode had a giant demon spider as the antagonist.
* StealthPun: Parker is into spiders, [[Franchise/SpiderMan huh?]]
* ThisIsUnforgivable: Insists that everyone's treatment of Chloe is this, and refuses to acknowledge either apologies or acts of atonement since they came too late. [[spoiler:In turn, after he goes too far in retribution thanks to the Unown, his father acknowledges that he will ''not'' go without punishment or be forgiven by the people he's hurt.]]
* TouchedByVorlons: His encounter with the Unown give him a minor ability to predict the future, or at least "possible futures" that carried on with an idea in his head. This is demonstrated when he considers what he'd have done to Bede had Ash not stopped him...despite not knowing Bede's name at first, he's still able to perceive what his punishment would've been had his plans gone on as normal.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Napolitan pasta with extra peas, especially if Chloe makes it.
* UnstoppableRage: After hearing all of his sister's classmates revealed how they bullied her, Parker is ready to send them to Hell by beating them up with Chloe's softball bat. [[spoiler:It's his anger and rage at them that gets the Unown's attention.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: What do all these spoilers have in common, you ask? [[spoiler:They're related to him obtaining the power of the Unown.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Claims that he wants to ensure that Chloe returns home to a better, kinder Vermillion City with no 'monsters' waiting for her. To that end, he attempts to kill Yeardley with a bat, and [[spoiler:uses the Unown's power to give what he thinks are fitting punishments to everyone who hurt Chloe.]] Thing is...
** NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He admits to Serena that he wants to hurt everyone who he blames for Chloe's disappearance because it will make him feel good. [[spoiler:His visible glee at everything [=UnChloe=] does to Sara and Yeardley, and him attacking the people who were honestly trying to make things right or who had nothing to do with Chloe's disappearance make it clear that he's doing this for himself, not Chloe.]] And he later confesses that he was less afraid of Chloe being hurt by Ash than he was of Ash taking Chloe away from ''him''.
* WesternZodiac: The author notes that he's a Sagittarius (born Nov. 28) and that they're all about being optimistic and supportive, reflecting his bond with Chloe.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Despite being only five years old, according to the anime, he's shown to be the most insightful character outside Trip.
** When he learns that his big sister ran away from home, he asks if it was because she thought he didn't love her enough. The fact that he gets it on his first try compared to how Chloe had to spell it out to their father (who still doesn't get the memo) shows how observant he is. He also points out that his dad never noticed Chloe's talents because he's so busy with his work.
** He embraced his sister's macabre tastes and became her confidant, seeing nothing wrong with her compared to how their father is struggling to understand this new world of horror and considers learning about her like he was studying Pokémon instead of just accepting it. He also knows Chloe well enough to state what type of phrase she'd speak if their mom brought up this "monster phase" she was in.
** He knows well enough that Goh and Chloe aren't friends since Goh never comes to visit them anymore.
** However, he is ''still five'': Part 2 makes it very clear that for all of his awareness he is still a five-year-old and that wisdom cannot change that and that he also was held responsible for not addressing Chloe's problems sooner.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Has the power of the Unown and knowing his anger, he's about to lash out at everyone, but deep down he's a little boy who just ''really'' wants his big sister back.]]
* YaoiFangirl: Gender-flipped, he thinks seeing Ash and Trip together as "cool". Then again, he's only a child.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: As Renji points out Parker looks down on people that don't like horror the same way people look down on Chloe for not liking Pokémon, the very people he hates with a passion.
* YouExclamation: States this to Sara and Yeardley when he sees them in the Cerise Lab.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: The author assumed Parker was 7 when she wrote him; she was shocked to learn in the anime that he's in kindergarten, making him 5.
----
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Was essentially like Max in the anime -- a young boy who is into Pokémon -- but this one has him as a NightmareFetishist like his sister and that the two had a pretty close bond who encouraged and would stand up for her. WordOfGod stated that she wanted to make sure that she did ''not'' make Parker just another copy of Max.
* AesopCollateralDamage: [[spoiler:After the Cyan Desert Car/Unown Arc, Parker realizes how he had done more harm than good and vows to be a good boy from now on. But this came at the cost of his family's reputation destroyed, them possibly losing their house and Chloe losing a lot of self-confidence just before she has to stop a cult.]]
* AmbiguousInnocence: Parker knows what is "Good" and "Bad" on what he feels and how he's seen his sister react. So he bases people who are "good" and "bad" based on those actions. For example, Ash is a good person at heart, but Parker sees him as "bad" for not making his sister feel like she was a person and never doing anything more to help her. [[spoiler:And it's gotten worse now that he has the power of the Unown on his side...]]
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Apparently likes to tease his sister about her dislike of curry. That said, he doesn't hate her enough that he wants her gone. Later chapters reveal he was the only person in Chloe's life who shared her interests and was essentially the closest thing she had to a friend, which makes his line that he loved her harder to look at.
* AscendedExtra: Has even ''less'' screen time than his sister in the anime, but in this fanfic, he has a storyline when he's trying to become more mature and be Yamper's trainer in his sister's place and also revealing that he knew more about Chloe's HiddenDepths than anyone ''else'' did. A comment from the author says that starting at Chapter 13, he'll have a bigger role, [[spoiler:and that role is to be the one to unleash the Unown in Chapter 17]].
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Tragically deconstructed. Being five, his mind can shift into different directions with little stimulation. [[spoiler:This is not good for Professor Cerise because when Parker gains terrible power and starts abusing it even when someone can get Parker to start coming down from it it doesn't take much to make his mind leave self-reflection and go to topics like sleepovers and amusement parks]].
* BatterUp: Carries his sister's softball bat in Chapter 13...and was about to use it to crack someone's head open. He starts carrying it in future chapters, mostly as a way of using it to fight back bullies. [[spoiler:And he puts it to good use to beat Yeardley up four chapters after he nearly crushed the bully's skull in.]]
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He loves his sister's stories and wishes to be in one. [[spoiler:Zeno]] gives him what he wanted...and learns there's a difference between reading a book or seeing a horror show compared to ''living'' in a nightmare.
* BerserkButton:
** Insult Chloe at your own peril around him, else he will either get his sister's softball bat to break your bones [[spoiler:or perhaps you'd like the Unown to prepare your punishments for you.]]
** Mentioning Goh is another one too since the boy stopped caring for Chloe after he became obsessed with Mew.
* [[BigBrotherWorship Big Sister Worship]]: Looked up to his big sister and found her horror stories to be the best thing ever. He feels horrible upon learning that she ran away and felt like it was because he didn't love her enough. According to the author notes in Chapter 11, it's thanks to Chloe that Parker is more confident in being okay with his interests. He also stands up to his sister's bullies when they start gloating about how they harassed her. [[DeconstructedTrope This isn't without issues, however]] - he doesn't acknowledge Chloe's flaws and defaults to thinking the absolute worst of everyone who didn't support her as he did.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: White to him is "being there for his sister". What's black to him is "those who hurt his sister be it bullying her or ignoring her". [[spoiler:Combine this with the power of the Unown and you have a child who will unleash hell on '''everybody in Vermillion City''' for leaving his sister behind.]]
* BlameGame: Has a very bad habit of blaming others for their faults while assuming he's innocent. He ''does'' make good points but ultimately him not telling anyone about his sister's problems prevented them from doing more to help her. When he's asked why he never told this to his parents sooner, Parker points out that he heard them argue the night of the paint-can incident and it convinced him that telling them about Chloe would just make them hate her.
* BreakTheCutie: Combined with RageBreakingPoint when faced with Sara and the other bullies' EvilGloating, as they make clear just how much they ''relished'' hurting his sister, and are clearly enjoying seeing him in pain as well. [[spoiler:Seeing them in the lab under punishment by their parents makes his anger boil over and he triggers the Unown in response.]]
* BrutalHonesty: Is very blunt at Ash finally showing up at the Cerise house ''after'' Chloe ran away and only arriving to ask for help about what type of person she was ''now'' instead of when she was still at the Cerise Lab.
* ChildProdigy: He is able to write a re-telling of ''The Little Match Girl'' at age 5.
* CompositeCharacter: As the younger sibling figure, he combines Max and Bonnie -- being cheerful children that don't have a problem with horrifying stuff and are unable to have a Pokémon as of yet -- but Part 2's author notes have him also gain the role of [[VideoGame/SilentHill2 Laura]] as they are bratty kids who have a hatred towards the James Sunderland (Goh) figure due to blaming them for what happened to Mary (Chloe).
* CruelMercy: Gives this to Sara and Yeardley, [[spoiler:letting them live purely so they can suffer from everything he and [=UnChloe=] made them confess to.]]
* DeathGlare: Gives one to Patricia when she tries to explain that all the bullying on his sister stemmed from jealousy issues.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Started when he attempted to bash Yeardley's skull in, but firmly crosses into this when [[spoiler:he gleefully has [=UnChloe=] MindRape and torture the two bullies ater their lives were pretty much ruined -- albeit it ''did'' reveal more as to why said bullies tortured his sister -- and then starts working on everyone else...]]
* TheDreaded: A kindergarten class runs away from him in fear when he stands up for a student, Jinny, they were picking on. [[spoiler:And now ''everyone'' is going to fear him as long as he has the Unown on his side.]]
* EasilyForgiven: Completely averted. [[spoiler:After everything he has done in the Unown Arc, there is no way in Hades that people are going to forgive him so quickly. Delia and Ash, two of the kindest people in story, spell out that they'll ''never'' forgive him for what he did.]]
* EnfantTerrible: [[spoiler:A 5-year-old RealityWarper with a sadistic streak spells doom for ''everybody''.]]
* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:When you have god-like power]], getting upset at the idea that Goh gets a gift card when he 'doesn't deserve it' in your eyes is a bit petty.
* FatalFlaw: Wrath. His rage against anyone who ignored or hurt his older sister -- regardless of whether they're good people at heart -- causes Ash's guilt complex to worsen and nearly gets Parker in trouble when he attacks Yeardley. The fact that he's convinced he's completely justified in lashing out blinds him to others' feelings or the consequences of his actions. This later just stems to those who pick on others. [[spoiler:And in his anger, he unleashes the full wrath of the Unown.]]
** A lack of consideration for how people handle fear. He seems to believe that if ''he'' can handle something scary, everyone else can. This compromises his ability to feel [[spoiler: guilt at what he did to Goh and the class...if he could come out the other side of a really scary story unscathed, why can't they? Besides, it's not like they feel bad for what ''they'' did to his sister and how they made ''her'' afraid to raise her voice.]]
* TheFinalTemptation: He is given this at the end of the Unown arc involving Goh. [[spoiler: he fails it, choosing to torture Goh]].
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Just before he goes to watch ''The Noctowl House'' in Chapter 9, the game he was playing depicted [[VideoGame/{{Limbo}} a boy in a dark woods who just had his neck pierced by the leg of a giant Ariados]], hinting that Chloe's not the ''only'' child in the Cerise family who likes dark stuff.
* FiveStagesOfGrief: Goes through Denial and Bargaining, the former when Professor Cerise tells the truth of Chloe disappearing and the latter when he convinces Yamper to take food from him in the hopes of making Chloe return. Quickly defaults to Anger, against Ash, Goh, the school bullies, and everyone who did not help his sister. [[spoiler:This leads him to unleash the Unown in retaliation.]]
* FreakyIsCool: His reaction to his sister reading one of her stories was that he loved it. It's deconstructed as it's made clear that he only enjoys horror stories like his sister does if the things he reads about are happening to other people, and as Zeno points out, ''reading'' about something is completely different from actually ''experiencing'' it. This is why he saw nothing wrong with showing other people his horror stories regardless what they thought of it, and looks down on those who don't like horror, [[{{Hypocrite}} making him no different from those who bullied his sister for not liking Pokemon]]. Once Zeno takes him into a simulation straight of a horror story, he gets excited, only to quickly change his tune and be reduced to tearfully begging Zeno to stop when Zeno warps it so he'll get to see exactly what he put Goh through for himself.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Parker in Act 1 was a little brother who was shocked to learn his sister ran away from home and revealed himself to be very supportive of her, with Chloe's classmates believing he couldn't do anything to stop them. Parker in Act 2 shows off his rage at everyone who harmed said older sister [[spoiler:and then gives him the power of the Unown to unleash hell in the name of his sister and ends up causing a ''lot'' of damage in the process]].
* HiddenDepths:
** Outside following his sister's love of the macabre, he likes girly shows like ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic My Little Ponyta: Friendship is Magic]]'' and ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst''.
** He's also into ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'' and ''Manga/TheNightmareBeforeChristmasZerosJourney''.
** He's just as good as his sister when it comes to writing stories as he put his own spin onto "The Little Match Girl" that ends with the abusive father and eldest daughters burned alive.
** He shows love for Music/TheBeatles as he references how [[Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand Billy Shears gets by with a little help from his friends.]] Chloe also notes that Parker would've loved how she was emulating a line from [[Music/MagicalMysteryTour "I Am The Walerin"]] for how she was "sitting in a Galar garden, waiting for the sun".
* IllKillYou: Like his sister, he declares this to her bullies. [[spoiler:And it's this declaration that activates the Unown.]]
* {{Irony}}:
** He is the last person in Chloe's circle of family and friends to learn about the Infinity Train, yet was the first person to actually know who Chloe was as a person.
** For all of his desires to do the right thing for Chloe, he may be doing the ''most'' damage with the [[spoiler:Unown and [=UnChloe=]'s actions]] and is missing the mark on a lot of what Chloe actually wanted.
** As lampshaded at the end the last horrible thing he does with the Unown, [[spoiler: putting Goh into mental torture]], is actually motivated as much by empathy, a positive emotion that his parents encouraged, as the wrath and anger issues his parents missed.
* ItsPersonal: Deconstructed. His grudges against even those who had little to no involvement in Chloe's misery at home motivated him to unleash the Unown on Vermillion City, leading to many innocents getting hurt and psychologically traumatized in the name of "justice" for his sister. While it does give him catharsis, it also makes ''everyone'' hate him for what he did, yet being a young child with a black-and-white mindset, he can't and refuses to understand how his actions had the opposite effect of what he wanted.
* JerkassToOne: Barring Chloe's classmates, Parker is nice and friendly to everyone and warms up to Ash after the Pallet Town trainer wows him with a ghost story. The person Parker hates is Goh, for abandoning his sister for Mew. [[spoiler:Or not...it turns out he never truly forgave Ash for leaving his sister behind. Goh is just the one person he hates ''most''.]]
* JustAKid: He was mocked by Class 5-E for being unable to stop them since he was too little and Parker feels so insignificant since barely ''anyone'' notices his problems. [[spoiler:He then gets attention when he uses the Unown.]]
* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Inverted, as he's only five, but he shows increasing signs of becoming this, lashing out at Ash when he tries to make amends and trying to outright murder Yeardley after he's already gotten his confession and publicly humiliated him. Heaven help Goh when Parker sets his sights on him...[[spoiler:and then to everyone ''else'' after Parker unleashes the Unown.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: For his using the Unown as torture instruments to "punish" everyone for harming his sister, he has to watch as everyone turns against him and his family, with his parents facing lawsuits and his father facing potential unemployment for what he did. The Calling Chloe movement, the one good thing that spawned from Chloe's disappearance, is now reviled as a symbol of the destruction the Unown caused. His attempts to have Goh go through EpiphanyTherapy only succeeds in making the older boy suicidal since his attempts to "help" were born out of vengeful sadism, and he is forced by Zeno to see the horrors of what he put Goh through. He also gets slapped hard in the face by Ash for his actions, with no one interfering.
* LongList: He brings up a huge list of horror shows that his sister loves from the mainstream (''Are You Afraid of the Dark?'') to somewhat obscure (''Phantom Investigators''). [[spoiler:He makes a new to-do list when he starts using [=UnChloe=] to check off everything he wants to do to ''everyone''.]]
* MeaningfulName: His name means "Park keeper" which relates to how he protected Chloe from others by keeping her secrets for her. It could also refer to [[spoiler:his desire to turn Vermillion City into a park for Chloe, where she can be completely safe and never run away again...no matter what he has to do to create it.]]
* MrImagination: Being five and around a sister who loves writing horror stories gives him a lot of ideas for his own. [[spoiler:Then you combine it with the power of the Unown...]]
* NeverMyFault: A tragic case as he's only five.
** [[spoiler:While he isn't without remorse after the Unown incident, it's quite clear that he ''still'' blames the others for not 'doing enough' first.]] This attitude doesn't earn him any favors.
** [[spoiler:He doesn't show that much sympathy for the torture he put Goh through as he felt like Goh needed some ToughLove for all that he did to Chloe, albeit he probably isn't aware that Goh just got transferred into a ''suicide ward''. He changes his tune quickly when he sees firsthand just what Goh went through.]]
* NightmareFetishist: Turns out he ''also'' had the same love of macabre things like his sister. In particular, he loved Chloe's story of the Specter of the Black Forest. He himself likes horror stories that take place at a summer camp: his favorite horror series was ''Series/ScaredyCamp'' and he loved the "Dreamcatcher" episode of ''Series/TheHauntingHour''. [[spoiler:And he ''really'' enjoys watching the horrors [=UnChloe=] unleashes on his behalf.]]
** Deconstructed in Chapter 22 when [[spoiler:Zeno decides to place Parker in one of Chloe's stories. At first, Parker is excited to actually see all of the characters Chloe made...then Zeno shows off [[SarcasmMode the new and improved]] [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Revolver]], [[MonsterClown Playmaker]] and [[LivingShadow Soulburner]].]] He only enjoys scary things if they're happening to ''other people'', be it imaginary characters in fiction or people he feels deserve it. As soon as ''he's'' living a situation that actually terrifies him, the fun abruptly stops.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His DisproportionateRetribution all but invalidates everyone's efforts to improve things for when Chloe returns and traumatized Chloe just before she needed to be strong to fight the Apex. His father spells out that he's risked their future and Chloe's well-being with his actions.
* NotSoDifferent:
** Really dislikes how Goh is also suffering because of how he deserved it for abandoning Chloe, but when Serena points out how unfair it is, he only replies it makes ''him'' happy to see Goh in pain. Serena then brings up that this mindset makes Parker no better than the bullies who hurt his sister...not that Parker seems to notice it as he points out that at least he's doing it in the name of Chloe.
** He hates Sara with a passion for making his sister miserable, but considering the sort of horrible things he does to people he wants to make miserable, he might not be as far from her as he thinks he is.
*** Sara mocked Chloe for liking something different from everyone else and not liking what others do. He mocks Renji for being scared of horror (or rather it's more how Renji was coward that never did more to ''help'' Chloe and only revealed this '''long after''' Chloe vanished).
** He is as capable of going NeverMyFault as much as his father and Goh are.
** Resents people for assuming that ''everybody'' should like Pokémon, when he assumes that everyone could handle the same horror he can.
* OnlySaneMan: He appears to be this in regards to Chloe, being the only one in her immediate circle who supported and gave her the love and attention she needed. [[DeconstructedTrope This feeds into his justifications for lashing out at everyone else and it soon becomes clear he]] ''[[DeconstructedTrope isn't]]'' [[DeconstructedTrope so sane after all]].
* ParentalFavoritism: Chloe assumes that her little brother is the favorite in the family because he's extroverted and likes Pokémon, two traits she doesn't have. Turns out that it's not true at all as Professor Cerise himself was shocked to learn about his son's love of girly things.
* PinkySwear: Did this with his sister to not tell anyone about her entering a horror writing contest. Unfortunately, he's had to break that promise if it means there's a chance of finding her (his sister messaged Parker that it's okay as she knew that he was going to break it eventually).
* PrecisionFStrike: Calls one of Chloe's classmates a "dumbass" for thinking that Chloe is into Pokémon. Making this more notable, he's only ''five''.
* PsychologicalProjection: Thinks Chloe wants her bullies to suffer painfully, [[spoiler:and uses [=UnChloe=] to echo this belief]], because that's what ''he'' wants to do.
** He also assumes that Goh and everyone else should be able to handle the nightmares because ''he'' could.
* PureIsNotGood: At age 5, he is shown to be the most innocent character in the Pokémon world with wisdom about Chloe being okay. At the same time though, this blinds him to the more complicated relationships others have and he takes a black and white view when it comes to his sister. If you're like him and were concerned and took care of her, he's on your side. If you ''aren't'', then he's just a few seconds away from bashing your head in with his sister's softball bat. [[spoiler:And then he gets his hands on the Unown...]]
* RageBreakingPoint: Just like his sister but he's quicker to give in to his rage due to his youth.
** Parker snaps after hearing everything that Chloe's classmates did to his sister and would've broken someone's skull with a bat if Ash and Gengar didn't intervene in time.
** Then he snaps even more in Chapter 17 when [[spoiler:the Unown senses his anguish at how he wants Sara and Yeardley to pay for all they did to his sister.]]
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:He obtains the powers of the Unown in Chapter 17 and he uses it to create a copy of his sister.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He loves his sister's spooky stories and is also familiar with the Pokémon world's equivalent of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' as he quoted two lines from the episode "Luna Eclipsed". The author notes confirmed that he's a fan of ''My Little Ponyta: Friendship is Magic''. Chapter 12 reveals he also loves ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst''.
* RejectedApology: He cannot accept anyone's apologies as long as Chloe is gone, since they cannot fix anything without Chloe being present so they can prove that they're sincere. But since Chloe ''can't'' come back at the moment due to the fact that she still has a number, this makes Parker view ''every'' apology as hollow, regardless of whether or not they truly are. And every single one makes him angrier and angrier...
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Initiates one when he obtains the power of the Unown in an attempt to avenge his sister on every single person who hurt her.]]
* {{Sadist}}: Downplayed, but he admits to Serena that the bullies suffering would make him happy, and [[spoiler:very much enjoys watching the MindRape [=UnChloe=] puts Sara and Yeardley through and is quite happy to do similar tortures to other classmates of hers.]]
* SecretKeeper: He was the only one who knew about his sister's NightmareFetishist tendencies and is horrified at having to break that promise if it means finding out where she's gone. The Intermission has Chloe email her father that she forgives Parker for revealing everything. This gets deconstructed; he had all the chances to tell what was going on with Chloe and not doing so made it even harder for his parents to ''do'' something. He was afraid of telling them because he felt like his parents wouldn't like how Chloe was "different".
* SelectiveObliviousness: Tunes out ''anything'' that would mess up his perfect image of Chloe. [[spoiler:When Renji points out that Chloe did ''less'' to make a connection than Ash had and he wasn't punishing her by 'making ''her'' dance like a freak', all Parker hears is his sister being called a 'freak'.]]
** Acts as though the class hadn't been punished for their actions and that nobody was doing anything to make amends in order to justify his actions with [[spoiler:[=UnChloe=]]]...ignoring how they ''were'' punished and Ash and co. ''were'' doing everything they could to make amends. He is harshly called out on this when [[spoiler:the Unown]] are dealt with.
* SoProudOfYou: Talia praises Parker for actually trying to understand his sister when everyone else failed to do so. Professor Cerise also expresses this once he realizes how horrible he had been to both his children. [[spoiler:Well, until the Unown attack...]]
* SpidersAreScary: As part of his love of the macabre, he's into spiders. He just got to the part in ''Limbo'' when the boy got attacked by a giant Ariados, and the "Dreamcatcher" episode had a giant demon spider as the antagonist.
* StealthPun: Parker is into spiders, [[Franchise/SpiderMan huh?]]
* ThisIsUnforgivable: Insists that everyone's treatment of Chloe is this, and refuses to acknowledge either apologies or acts of atonement since they came too late. [[spoiler:In turn, after he goes too far in retribution thanks to the Unown, his father acknowledges that he will ''not'' go without punishment or be forgiven by the people he's hurt.]]
* TouchedByVorlons: His encounter with the Unown give him a minor ability to predict the future, or at least "possible futures" that carried on with an idea in his head. This is demonstrated when he considers what he'd have done to Bede had Ash not stopped him...despite not knowing Bede's name at first, he's still able to perceive what his punishment would've been had his plans gone on as normal.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Napolitan pasta with extra peas, especially if Chloe makes it.
* UnstoppableRage: After hearing all of his sister's classmates revealed how they bullied her, Parker is ready to send them to Hell by beating them up with Chloe's softball bat. [[spoiler:It's his anger and rage at them that gets the Unown's attention.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: What do all these spoilers have in common, you ask? [[spoiler:They're related to him obtaining the power of the Unown.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Claims that he wants to ensure that Chloe returns home to a better, kinder Vermillion City with no 'monsters' waiting for her. To that end, he attempts to kill Yeardley with a bat, and [[spoiler:uses the Unown's power to give what he thinks are fitting punishments to everyone who hurt Chloe.]] Thing is...
** NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He admits to Serena that he wants to hurt everyone who he blames for Chloe's disappearance because it will make him feel good. [[spoiler:His visible glee at everything [=UnChloe=] does to Sara and Yeardley, and him attacking the people who were honestly trying to make things right or who had nothing to do with Chloe's disappearance make it clear that he's doing this for himself, not Chloe.]] And he later confesses that he was less afraid of Chloe being hurt by Ash than he was of Ash taking Chloe away from ''him''.
* WesternZodiac: The author notes that he's a Sagittarius (born Nov. 28) and that they're all about being optimistic and supportive, reflecting his bond with Chloe.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Despite being only five years old, according to the anime, he's shown to be the most insightful character outside Trip.
** When he learns that his big sister ran away from home, he asks if it was because she thought he didn't love her enough. The fact that he gets it on his first try compared to how Chloe had to spell it out to their father (who still doesn't get the memo) shows how observant he is. He also points out that his dad never noticed Chloe's talents because he's so busy with his work.
** He embraced his sister's macabre tastes and became her confidant, seeing nothing wrong with her compared to how their father is struggling to understand this new world of horror and considers learning about her like he was studying Pokémon instead of just accepting it. He also knows Chloe well enough to state what type of phrase she'd speak if their mom brought up this "monster phase" she was in.
