History Characters / SaintsRowTheThirdStreetSaints

* DistressedDamsel: In two levels. The boss actively questions her ActionGirl credentials, concluding in the final missions of the Samedi arc that the only character she could take on is Veteran Child, and only because of his recent death.

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: He doesn't use the most respectful terms for prostitutes whenever he's speaking about them to the Boss, but ultimately he's a more considerate caretaker for them than the Syndicate.

* PetTheDog: After he returns to the crew in ''IV'', a homie conversation he has with Shaundi can be summed up as "What happened on the plane was never your fault. I'm here now, so stop blaming yourself."

* HotterAndSexier: She was by no means unattractive in the second game, wearing a [[FormFittingWardrobe tight spagetti-string tank top]] and low riding jeans (giving her an exposed midriff), but in the third game her look is more "photogenic" with the jeans having become as skin-tight as her top, her hair in a smooth ponytail, and her breasts seem to have increased in size.

** In the second game, this was present in a more downplayed form with her wearing a revealing tank top and low-rider jeans and having a ReallyGetsAround backstory. A promotional banner for the second game even depicts her wearing a bikini.

* HotterAndSexier: She was by no means unattractive in the second game, but in the third game, she gets a FormFittingWardrobe (which even comes with an exposed midriff) and her breasts seem to have increased in size.

* MsFanservice: Starting with ''The Third'', she seems to become the token sex symbol of the Saints in terms of appearance as well.

* Didn'tThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: While he may have a point about the Boss being a sociopathic killer, he never considered the possibility of them surviving the explosion on the boat or how pisses they would be if they found out he tried to kill them. The Boss even calls him out on being the one to betray them and the Saints to begin with.]]

* HeroesWantRedheads: In the ShowWithinAShow ''Gangstas in Space'', she plays Cornell, the MissionControl and LoveInterest for the hero (played by the Boss).

* GutturalGrowler: When he gets worked up in his Nyte Blayde persona.

* GutturalGrowler: He has a distinct gravelly voice.

* CloningBlues: He serves as the genetic model for brutes and as such remained a prisoner of the Syndicate until the Saints rescue him. Apparently, he wasn't even allowed a pair of underwear.

* AnythingThatMoves: If ''IV'' is anything to go by, Shaundi is not only bisexual (the Boss can romance her regardless of gender), but her past self will also go on a date with a robot, and "Enter the Dominatrix" sees her marrying King Cirano at the end (who, it should be noted, is a literal Velociraptor).

* PreAsskickingOneLiner: He delivers one during the mission "Gang Bang" right before jumping on one of STAG's VTOLs (and taking it out single-handedly:)

[[folder:Viola]]

* ButNotTooBlack: Her skin is far lighter in the second game than it was in the first.

* TheFaceOfTheBand: InUniverse: The majority of the Saints' merchandise is based on him, from the Gat-faced Gatmobile, to the bobblehead-Gat mascots.

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Like fellow Russian giant [[Videogame/StreetFighter Zangief]], Oleg can do the Pile Driver to finish off enemy Brutes.

* Expy: He bears a striking resemblance to Marvel Comics' Kingpin.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Danielle Nicolet voices Shaundi with a deeper, more serious voice than Eliza Dushku in ''Saints Row The Third''.

* BadassBaritone: A given, as he is one of the go-to voices for such an archetype in Hollywood.
