* {{Foil}}: To Chloe of the Vermillion:
** Both are red haired young kids with a parental figure serving as an authority in their societies. Both have a hard time socializing with their peers and have been doubled as troubled“ in their community for being into non-conventional things (with Rigel being interested in alchemy and tinkering and Chloe into writing and horror) and not being as gifted in what they are expected to be. The differences come in their relationships with Goh, while Chloe cares for him as her childhood friend, their relationship has been tainted by neglect, traumatic experiences and bitterness. Rigel started as antagonistic to Goh but they quickly learnt to work together, with Rigel even starting to harbor feelings for the boy.

* GiverOfLameNames: In his introductory chapter he tried to give newly formed group a name, each worst and more corny than the last. Recently he had also started to call the Regisvid, Miriam, because he thought it was rude to not give her a name

* FeudingFamilies: Goh reveals he is studying the history of the kanin because there are two families with a long feud between them and is afraid of saying something wrong and unleash another decade of infighting.

* AnimalMotifs: Owls. After joining the Aurora Court she gains an owl themed mask and goes by the pseudonim 'Eule' meaning Owl and Ursa takes to call her 'Tecolotl' as a nickname. Venti on the Jolly Bard Car calls Owls harbingers of death, something Grace was as the Apex leader.

* HumbleGoal: Grace no longer wants to take over the Train or wheel Denizens to earn points, instead wanting to atone for her actions and finally get off the Train.




to:

* SparedButNotForgiven: Goh eventually saves her from dying a chilling death in the Aurorae Car, but this doesn't earn her forgiveness for her actions, as it's not in Goh's power to do so.

Added DiffLines:

* LovedByAll: Ash's heroism and [[AllLovingHero kind nature]] make him a popular guy in general, but his fame ''definitely'' reaches this level in Alola. Between leading his class to defend the islands ''[[ChronicHeroSyndrome repeatedly]]'' from Necrozma and the other Ultra Beasts and being crowned as [[FamedInStory the inaugural Champion of the Alola League]], Ash Ketchum is a source of love, pride, and inspiration for basically every citizen of the region. Seeing the crowd at the Battle Royale Dome cheering for him makes Chloe [[GreenEyedMonster think back to her days as the Hero of the Infinity Train with envy]].

Kill Em All is no longer a trope


* AesopAmnesia: When the story begins, the Red Lotus Remnants are fresh off the battle of the Fog Car. ''That'' particular crisis came about after [[ObviouslyEvil Walter and Henry]] decided that the crimes of the Apex could only be stopped by [[KillEmAll killing the entire group]]- regardless of the group's ignorance, or the fact that ''[[WouldHurtAChild they were almost all preteens]]''. Not only that, but [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the Red Lotuses]] share some of the blame for that situation, because they were so focused on the Apex that [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter they trusted the first Denizens who came forward with a plan for dealing with them]]. Now, after meeting [[FaceHeelTurn Goh]] all of ''one time,'' [[GoodIsNotSoft Amelia]] is already considering the possibility that he's such a threat, [[ShootTheDog he'll need to be killed]]! Not only has she failed to learn from the atrocities [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Walter and Henry]] committed, but she's gotten ''even worse'' about judging children as irredeemable based solely upon hearsay! At least [[TheDreaded the Apex]] were the talk of the Infinet, even if [[PaperTiger a lot of their reputation was overblown]]. If the Red Lotus Remnants had so much as bothered ''investigating'' the Aurorae Car properly, they would have learned that [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen the previous ruler]] was hated a lot more than Goh is!

* AdaptationalBadass: Goh remained a NonActionGuy through most of ''Voyage of Wisteria'' until the climax of the story. In here, he ends up [[spoiler:killing Holda and taking her powers, all while becoming the new princess of the Aurora Car in the process.]]





Added DiffLines:

* SheIsTheKing: Gender-inverted. He's constantly referred to as the new "princess" or "queen" of the Aurora Car after [[spoiler:killing Holda and taking her powers.]]

He thought Ogami was dead at the time. This feels like a cheap shot.


* AdaptationalIntelligence: Rather than sticking around the Canals of Fondue Car after surviving an assassination attempt, he decides to call it quits and leaves on his own accord. He still ends up facing a life-threatening situation, but at least he's trying to avoid Ogami.

Added DiffLines:

* OurGiantsAreBigger: One of the denizens residing in the car are the Frost Giants, who, as their name implies, are massive humanoids with an ice theme to them.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: It's not enough for him to have his first day on the train have him ''nearly assassinated'' by Ogami; he then wanders into another car that has its ruler ''try to kill him'' as well because of the misinformation that Chloe spread about him.

Added DiffLines:

* UsedToBeASweetKid: ...Until both the events of ''Blossoming Trail'' and his first visit to the Aurora Car happened, at which point he ''snapped'' and StoppedCaring about clearing his name; if people will call him a monster over minimal evidence, then let them do so.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Sort of; Grace was mentioned a few times during ''Voyage of Wisteria'', but didn't really appear until [[spoiler:Warbler]] debuted at the Karaoke Car. In here, she appears at the Aurora Car, several cars beforehand.
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Grace never got to meet Goh [[spoiler:before reincarnating into Warner,]] but she meets him while at the Aurora Car and becomes one of his allies.

* GrewASpine: From the stuttering boy he was when he enters the train he becomes much more confident after after.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Thanks to Cyrene's teachings, he is able to shot a projectile kicked by Raboot in mid-air.


Added DiffLines:

* AnimalMotifs: Hounds. She is a hunter and has a loyal hell-hound at her side. She is also really protective of those she cares about, to the point Grace describes her as looking like an angry guard dog.


Added DiffLines:

* BigSisterMentor: She is Goh's archery teacher and is really proud to see his growing skills.


Added DiffLines:

* TheAtoner: After her attack and almost dying in the snow, Grace admits she is tired of the power plays and manipulations and truly feels guilty about her past actions.


Added DiffLines:

* GlorySeeker: Has shades of this. One of the things she misses the most of the train besides her friends is the respect, recognition and fame she got as the train's heroine.
* GreenEyedMonster: Had this in the original Blossoming Trail for Goh's freedom and the attention he had of her Dad for being into Pokemon. Now, even if she will never admit it, has dreams indicating she may wish to be in Goh's place.

Added DiffLines:

* ConsummateLiar: Goh's so used to being demonized and made to look worse than he actually is that whenever he's asked about his worst deeds, he doesn't even try to defend himself and just states they're all true. This actually works in Rigel's favor, as [[spoiler: Goh casually confirms him breaking Chloe's legs and burning her books, things the movie that demonizes him never even mentions.]]

New tropes I've been meaning to write for! I'm pretty sure that the links can be improved, so whoever wants to work on them is welcome to do so!

Added DiffLines:

* TinMan: Prince Goh is simultaneously this ''and'' a CardCarryingVillain. After [[WickedWitch Holda]] caused him ''[[TraumaCongaLine even more trauma]]'' by nearly killing him, Goh talks a big game about how [[FairyTaleMotifs his heart has been frozen]] and that the boy that [[TheScapegoat took abuse from everyone at home]] is [[ThatManIsDead gone.]] But even as he says this, he [[BenevolentBoss treats the members of his court well,]] is [[PapaWolf hugely protective]] of Raboot and Sobble, still thinks [[TheParagon "What would Ash do?"]] as an approach to conflict… oh, and ''he regularly emails his parents asking them to look after his Pokemon.'' [[SarcasmMode Definitely]] what you would expect from someone with a frozen heart.


Added DiffLines:

* HeelRealization: Played With. After his visit to the Grand Cineplex car, Rigel ''actually asks'' Cyrene "Do you think we are bad?" as if they were in the Mitchell and Webb Look sketch. Cyrene responds with [[LiterallyLaughableQuestion badly suppressed laughter,]] before basically telling him that it's not so easy to determine "bad" and "good" people, especially in a place like [[BlueAndOrangeMorality the]] [[DeathWorld Infinity]] [[EpiphanicPrison Train]]. The reason it's Played With is that Rigel originally ''asked'' the question because he'd watched the InUniverse ''[[OneSideOfTheStory Blossoming Trail]]'' movie, and was stunned to see his Prince [[FalseFriend ignoring,]] [[WithFriendsLikeThese belittling,]] and ''[[KidsAreCruel assaulting]]'' his "kind friend," Chloe Cerise. What Rigel [[DramaticIrony doesn't realize]] is that the movie he watched is about as reliable as J. Jonah Jameson's [[MaliciousSlander "Threat or Menace?" Spider-Man articles,]] and Goh was ''actually'' InnocentlyInsensitive at ''worst''. In reality, the Aurorae Court is pretty firmly on the side of [[CreepyGood good;]] they just need to worry about [[HeroWithBadPublicity their image]], since groups like the Red Lotus Remnants aren't going to take kindly to [[TheAtoner Grace]] and [[NotHelpingYourCase Goh]] being in positions of power.

Added DiffLines:

* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: He reacts to the horrible creatures he sees everytime he uncovers his eyepatch with nothing more than mild annoyance. He is not a fan of horror like Chloe but the multiple traumatizing experiences had made him numb to those kind of things.

None

Added DiffLines:

* {{Foil}}: To the Red Lotus Trio/Quarto.
** The Red Lotus never cared to keep a low profile, making videos to motivate denizens to rise against the Apex.
** While most members of the Court actively hide their identities and work on the downlow.
** Chloe's group was constantly moving from Car to Car, mostly camping and keeping provisions. The Court has a permanent base of operations in the form of an Ice Castle.
** Unlike the Red Lotus Remnants (besides Amelia) almost all members of the Court suffer from some degree of unpopularity with the Train denizens.
