History Characters / KungFuPandaTheDragonKnight

* AmbiguousSituation: How much of Alfie's behavior after his resurrection would've been unchanged if he hadn't died and been stuck for 15 years as a corrupt soul before getting the Tianshang Weapons? While him forging Luthera's Shield from one of the Storm Wheels and Akna's belief that Alfie was just using her to get his way point to him having been full-on extremist already, some of his other behaviors such as listening to Duncan's side of the story despite him causing conflict and his general lack of malice anywhere else, along with alluding to having had a genuine friendship with Akna (until she turned against him in the present) point to him having only turned into a true extremist after his time as a ghost warrior instead.

* TookALevelInJerkass: In the first season, she was already bad enough as-is but was given some minor sympathetic qualities in her relationship with Klaus. In the second season, she grows even more evil and unhinged, first [[spoiler:trying to kill the archmage Kyle (she fails but leaves him in a FullBodyCast regardless) and then leaving her former fellow mages to die of starvation and then abandoning her brother near the end of the season when Luthera is holding him hostage]].

* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler:She and Mr. Ping are connected, with the latter being her lover in the past. They eventually rekindle their relationship.]]
* TheDreaded: Weimin, a member of the Forbidden Company, was willing to quit his quest of capturing Po the moment he realized that Forouzan was needed to find them.
* NewOldFlame: [[spoiler: She and Ping were in a relationship in their youth. After the Dragon Knights earn their freedom from her, she and Ping resume their relationship.]]
* {{Pirate}}: She's a pirate and the captain of a pirate ship.

* FatalFlaw: His pride causes him to take defeats very personally. This goes so far that he's willing to kill them on sight rather than subject them to a trial.
* {{Foil}}: Like Colin, he's determined to bring Luthera to justice for taking the sword and impersonating a knight. Unlike Colin, who does so because he sincerely believes she's betrayed the knightly code, it becomes apparent that he's mostly doing it out of pride and because he actually hates the Landreth family for thinking they're better than him, and he's prepared to ignore orders to stop, while Colin's flaw has been obeying orders unquestioningly.

* MaliciousMisnaming: Makes a point of calling Colin any name starting with a hard C or K-sound except Colin.

* TookALevelInJerkass: In the third season, he's starts out as an InspectorJavert antagonist who's disrespectful to Colin and goes after the Dragon Knights but still acts within royal law to do so. But by "The Battle of Tianshang" two parter, he outright decides to disobey the Queen when she tells him to stop his pursuit of Luthera and goes rogue to try to kill Luthera unlawfully because his pride couldn't handle Luthera getting the best of him.

* PetTheDog: She is the first character, other than Mr. Ping, who doesn't turn on Po for accidentally destroying a village with the Wugao Gauntlet. Her reasoning is that a single mistake shouldn't supersede Po's service to China over the years. Needless to say,Poi's moved to see someone in China still refer to him as Dragon Master.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She welcomes Po to Lotus Village, believing that he doesn't deserve to be a fugitive for accidentally destroying a village when he saved China multiple times. Subverted in her suspecting Zhen for causing havoc in the village without proper evidence.

* TheDreaded: Even the Emperor's imperial guards are afraid of them.

The new Archmage following Veruca's arrest. He is the keeper of the Wind Helmet, which he uses to bring ships to an island where his fellow mages steal supplies to survive.

* FullBodyCast: [[spoiler:After Veruca drops him to his intended death, he survives by the skin of his teeth but is forced to be in a full body cast to recover from his injuries, taking several months for him to be back in good shape.]]

* NiceGuy: He is happy to see Veruca and Klaus alive and offers them the chance to live alongside the other mages in peace, despite Veruca's aggressive attempts to steal the Helmet from him, he tries and continue to reason with her in the midst of their battle. [[spoiler:It takes Veruca almost killing him and Klaus not helping save him for him to shun both and especially Klaus once he returns, but then once Klaus does provide the means for the Mages to survive and the Helmet gets away again, he welcomes him back.]]

* EvilBrit: They are from England like Klaus and Veruca. Subverted in that they don't want to conquer England like the weasels, as they'd rather steal from ships to survive.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: They are very abrasive siblings constantly annoyed with each other, but make no mistake, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes they do care deeply about one another]] and harming one is sure enough to provoke the other.

** This is Subverted in season two, when Veruca stops treating Klaus as an equal, and starts treating him like a lackey.

* TheRemnant: They're the last members of their coven, as their peers were hunted down and killed by orders of the Queen.

* TheArchmage: She was the Queen's archmage before her imprisonment. It shows thanks to her {{Lunacy}} powers being exclusive to her.
** Season 2 reveals that Archmage is a rank within her order of mages denoting their leader [[spoiler: and that she's been replaced by another mage.]]

* BigBadWannabe: Despite being the most recurring villain of the series, being the one ''KFP'' ArcVillain to last more than one season, defeating Po and Luthera at the end of the first season, and gaining great power with the Tianshang weapons, she's ultimately this. She's able to threaten the heroes after gaining power but doesn't get the chance to put into practice her dream of remaking the world. And ultimately when measured up against the other major villains of the series, Veruca always ends up getting upstaged and defeated, with [[spoiler: Zuma solidly defeating her and eventually, Sir Alfred killing Veruca and turning her into one of his undead warriors]].

* GoMadFromTheIsolation: She was locked in a jail with no moonlight for 15 years. By the time Klaus saved her, Veruca's mental health and connection to the moon have been damaged. [[spoiler:It makes her go from simply being cruel to her foes to outright psychotic to degrees that Klaus is disturbed by, betray all her allies (even Klaus) by leaving them to die whenever they impede her progress in her quest and attempt to ravage the world with the Weapons.]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler: Once she discovers that the other mages are alive and have found happiness on an island, Veruca is ''furious'' that they no longer recognize her as their leader and feels that they just abandoned her, so she abandons them to starvation by stealing the Helmet of Winds, despite Klaus' attempts to dissuade her. She also bullies Klaus even more than usual and eventually leaves him to die as well and declares that the whole world doesn't care for her so she intends to [[TakeOverTheWorld take it over]] and remake it all for herself. She drops this aspect after reviving, giving up on her ambitions to instead help her brother destroy the weapons.]]

** While Veruca does manage to [[spoiler: escape capture by Luthera at the end of the second season, she gets a bit more comeuppance during that time than in the first season. Previously, Veruca had attacked and left for dead Kyle and the other mages, taking away their Tianshang weapon for herself. Towards the end of the season, Zuma pulls a EvilerThanThou on Veruca, taking away her Tianshang weapons, destroying her ship, seriously injuring Veruca, and basically leaving Veruca for dead]].
** In the third season [[spoiler:she summons an undead Alfred and tries to use him to kill Luthera; Alfred eventually breaks free of her control when she drops one of the Storm Wheels in anger, kills her with the sword she once killed him with and then turns her into one of his undead servants for the rest of the season.]]

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: He rescued Veruca and helped her with her plans because she was the only loved one, he had left. By the end of the second season, Klaus is no longer welcomed by the mages after Veruca stole the Wind Helmet then left them to starve, and then Veruca abandons him to his fate when Luthera is about to kill him, with him only surviving because Luthera finds him too pathetic and worthless to kill anymore. The last scene that Klaus has is him standing alone. Afterwards he makes good on never going after the weapons again and wants nothing to do with them after the quest to obtain them cost him everything.]]

* BlowYouAway: [[spoiler: The final season reveals that Klaus does have magic like Veruca. In his case, it's wind magic that allowed him to find Veruca subconsciously.]]
* DemotedToDragon: In the second he goes from being an equal ally for Veruca, to being basically her lackey.

* FriendOrIdolDecision: [[spoiler: He has to choose between living with the surviving mages or help Veruca with her vengeance by stealing the Wind Helmet. Sadly, Veruca makes the choice for him by attempting to kill Kyle, alienating him from his fellow mages. Thankfully he mends fences when he brings plants for them to grow food on the island, allowing him to find his place once more.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: He eventually helps Po and The Dragon Knights in their mission to destroy the Tianshang weapons.]]

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: He's definitely the less evil and unhinged of the two siblings and when they were on the island, he [[spoiler: tried to talk Veruca out of taking away the mages' source of livelihood but to no avail, after she leaves him for dead he drops his entire quest to instead bring back crop seeds for the mages to grow on the island so they can survive]].

* TookALevelInJerkass: In the first season, she was already bad enough as-is but was given some minor sympathetic qualities in her relationship with Klaus. In the second season, she grows even more evil and unhinged, first [[spoiler: killing the archmage Kyle and leaving her former fellow mages to die of starvation and then abandoning her brother near the end of the season when Luthera is holding him hostage]].

* WeCanRuleTogether: Offers Po the chance of joining her, mainly due to her VillainousCrush on him. He rejects it.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: She's definitely a BitchInSheepsClothing and the moment she abandons Pelpel to die is what establishes her as a true villain. But in that moment, she also fights Veruca, steals her Tianshang weapons, and knocks her and her ship into the distance, leaving them for dead. By that point, Veruca had been nothing but an AxCrazy maniac who killed Luthera's brother and condemned her former fellow mages to die of starvation. And even though Zuma turned out to be FauxAffablyEvil, she's still done more to help other people and bring peace to her own kingdom as both Queen and Protector so by that point, it's likely Veruca will have run out of sympathy points and the viewer might be more inclined to root for Zuma. And that's not even getting into how Veruca abandons her brother one episode later]].

* AxCrazy: She's mentally unstable and enjoys fighting. Even before her imprisonment, her bloodthirsty nature was there when she fought Sir Alfred.

** [[spoiler: As of season 2, Veruca bullies Klaus a lot for her own amusement and abandons him, not caring if Luthera kills him or not. However, Season 3 has her go back on this aspect as she goes mad with grief when it seemed that Luthera truly killed her brother.]]

* GoMadFromTheIsolation: She was locked in a jail with no moonlight for 15 years. By the time Klaus saved her, Veruca's mental health and connection to the moon have been damaged.

* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler: Once she discovers that the other mages are alive and have found happiness on an island, Veruca is ''furious'' that they no longer recognise her as their leader and feels that they just abandoned her, so she abandons them to starvation. She also bullies Klaus even more than usual and eventually leaves him too, and declares that the whole world doesn't care for her so she intends to [[TakeOverTheWorld take it over]] and remake it all for herself.]]

** In the third season [[spoiler:she summons an undead Alfred and tries to use him to kill Luthera; Alfred eventually breaks free of her control, kills her with the sword she once killed him with and then turns her into one of his undead servants for the rest of the season.]]

* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Between her and Klaus, Veruca is the strongest of the two, as she has the [[PowerFist Wugao Gauntlet]] and has GreenThumb magic that Klaus lacks.

* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:Her undead self is more kinder towards her brother than she was when she was alive, even helping the very people she antagonized all through the series save the world.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: She suffers a panic attack [[spoiler: when she realizes her brother is not dead and has abandoned her, this also proves to be her undoing as Alfie takes advantage of her breakdown to stab her in back and kill her.]]

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: He rescued Veruca and helped her with her plans because she was the only loved one he has left. By the end of the second season, Klaus is no longer welcomed by the mages after Veruca stole the Wind Helmet and Veruca abandons him to his fate when Luthera is about to kill him. The last scene that Klaus has is him standing alone.]]
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: He returned to the mages to make up for stealing the Wind Helmet. He started doing agriculture so that the Mages can have something to eat rather than wait for ships to plunder for supplies.]]
* BlowYouAway: [[spoiler: The final season reveals that Klaus does have magic like Veruca. In his case, it's wind magic that allowed him to find Veruca.]]

* {{Determinator}}: Spent fifteen years trying to release Veruca from jail. He succeeded.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Over the course of the second season, he grows to resent how Veruca shows him no regard or gratitude for everything he's done for her.

* FriendOrIdolDecision: [[spoiler: He has to choose between living with the surviving mages or help Veruca with her vengeance by stealing the Wind Helmet. Sadly, Veruca makes the choice for him by attempting to kill Kyle, alienating him from his fellow mages.]]

* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler: He blames himself for Veruca's death because he enabled his sister's bad habits when they discovered her powers.]]
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: He's definitely the less evil and unhinged of the two siblings and when they were on the island, he [[spoiler: tried to talk Veruca out of taking away the mages' source of livelihood but to no avail]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:It is unknown what happened to Klaus after accepting his sister's death when the Tianshang Weapons were destroyed for good. Whereas we were shown what happened with the other Dragon Knights and he was seen being celebrated alongside them after the destruction of the Tianshang Weapons, nothing about Klaus' ultimate whereabouts was revealed.]]

The Queen of England.

* TheCameo: Makes one in Season 3 where he is seen trying to distract himself from the chaos of [[spoiler:Alfie]] reshaping the world by playing his guitar.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: The last time he's seen, he's floating in a void after his last fight with the Dragon Knights. By the end of the series, the Queen of England gives his title to Luthera and later Colin, implying that he died or he was demoted.]]

* BearsAreBadNews: He's a bear who happens to be the BigBad of the series while possessing power on par with a [[ShonenDemographic Shonen Anime]] villain who can move continents, has an undead demon army he can send anywhere in the world, and is an extremist KnightTemplar whom you have ''no'' recourse against if he decides for some reason you're part of the problem. Being an absolute powerhouse by the standards of the entire ''KFP'' franchise and a vengeful, ruthless TotalitarianUtilitarian who's willing to kill to create a better world, Sir Alfred is the kind of bear you ''really'' don't want to run into for whatever reason.
* BigBad: He is the overarching villain of the entire series, and is the final antagonist that Po and his allies must face.

He is an anthropomorphic beaver covered in moss. Not only did he know Alfie, but he told him about the Tianshang Weapons.

* GreenThumb: He uses plant magic like Veruca.
