History ComicBook / Peculia

* TranshumanTreachery: The newly vamped babysitters who Peculia runs into while fleeing from Nicola.
-->'''Honor''' It'll be some much better if you don't resist.\\
'''Noelle:''' Only a brief feeling of obliteration, then you will live forever!\\
'''Wren:''' It feels wonderful! Join us!\\
'''Noelle:''' Yes! Join us!\\

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Peculia originally wore shoes, but in the second story she is [[LosingAShoeInTheStruggle forced to leave them behind]] when [[MidnightSnack she gets up to raid the fridge in the middle of the night]], only for the inn to be attacked by [[TheGrimReaper Death]]. After she defeats Death, she is abruptly "[[DamselOutOfDistress rescued]]" by a robotic Obscurus duplicate and carried off before she can go back for her shoes. She continues to go barefoot in every story after this, and she is wealthy enough to have her own butler, so she could definitely afford to buy a new pair of shoes if she wanted to, although given her extremely indifferent personality it's hard to say whether she ''prefers'' going barefoot or whether she just doesn't care if she has shoes or not. After all, [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight nobody else cares]]. This is a Richard Sala work, so [[AuthorAppeal permanently barefoot females are the norm here]].

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Peculia originally wore shoes, but in the second story she is [[LosingAShoeInTheStruggle forced to leave them behind]] when the inn she is spending the night at is attacked by [[TheGrimReaper Death]], because she got up to enjoy a MidnightSnack without bothering to put them back on (since she was trying to raid the kitchen unannounced). She does manage to defeat Death, but before she can go back inside for her shoes, she is abruptly "[[DamselOutOfDistress rescued]]" by a robotic Obscurus duplicate and carried off.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Peculia herself. The sitters needed four people to do the babysitting job and randomly asked Peculia to come along as they were desperate. [[spoiler: She unwittingly ends up being the vampires' downfall. If it had been anyone else, the sitters likely would've gone missing without anyone knowing. Granted they still get bitten, killed and turned, but their vampire forms are stopped before they spread more of the vampirism.]]

* NoSell: Nicola uses her powers on the sitters to bewitch them for some "fun" before feeding. Peculia oddly enough isn't affected.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Nicola can apparently go out into sun as long as she has her sunglasses on. Also a certain tree is quite deadly to vampires.

* TagalongKid: George, who was one of the sitter's charges. [[spoiler: He survives the events unscathed and it's implied he was the one who found the gypsy that later saves Peculia from the vampirized babysitters.]]

* UndeadChild: Two of them

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Peculia originally wore shoes, but in the second story she is [[LosingAShoeInTheStruggle forced to leave then behind]] when the inn she is spending the night at is attacked by [[TheGrimReaper Death]]. She continues to go barefoot in every story after this, and she is wealthy enough to have her own butler, so she could definitely afford to buy a new pair of shoes if she wanted to, but given her personality it's hard to say whether she actually prefers going barefoot or whether she just doesn't care if she has shoes or not. After all, [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight nobody else cares]]. This is a Richard Sala work, so [[AuthorAppeal permanently barefoot females are the norm here]].

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Peculia originally wore shoes, but was [[LosingAShoeInTheStruggle forced to leave them behind]] in order to escape from a house when a monster was after her (she had taken her shoes off to go to bed). She seems to have decided that she prefers going without them, since all issues after this have her barefoot. She is wealthy enough to have her own butler, so she could definitely afford to buy a new pair if she wanted to.
** Quite a few female characters go around barefoot. For instance, the group that causes the ZombieApocalypse mentioned below consists of two barefoot girls and two guys who wear shoes. Chalk it up to AuthorAppeal.

She seems to have decided that she prefers going without them, since all issues after this have her barefoot. She is wealthy enough to have her own butler, so she could definitely afford to buy a new pair if she wanted to.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Well she did wear them in early issues, but completely abandons them later on.
** Literally abandons them at that. She had to escape the house she was staying at during the night (where she had taken her shoes off to go to bed), but never bothered to go back for her shoes or buy another pair. After that, she remains barefoot out of preference.
** Probably AuthorAppeal since quite a few female characters go around barefoot. For instance, the group that causes the ZombieApocalypse mentioned below consists of two girls who go barefoot (among [[BareYourMidriff other bare things]]) and two guys who do not.

List of tropes in Peculia:

* {{Anyone Can Die}}: Well save for Peculia and her short list of recurring characters. Otherwise any new characters she runs into doesn't have a high chance of surviving.
* {{Big Brother Is Watching}}: The mysterious Obscurus whose taken an interest in Peculia.
* {{Creepy Child}}: One issue had Peculia run into a young neighbor of hers who overly cheery. The girl invites her to her house where Peculia finds the remains of the girl's parents. Without even dropping her nice tone, the girl admits she was the one who killed them. On yeah did I mention this girl can wield a shotgun too and her house sits on the edge of a cliff?
* {{Does Not Like Shoes}}: Well she did wear them in early issues, but completely abandons them later on.

* {{James Bondage}}: Happens every now and then.
* {{Lets Get Dangerous}}: Despite her dainty figure, Peculia can defend herself when prompted.
* {{Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant}}: Peculia herself again. As odd as she is innocent.
* {{Red Shirt}}: You can pretty much tell whose gonna meet a bad end in these stories.
* {{Weirdness Magnet}}: Seriously Peculia just tries to go through the days as normal as possible, but just seems to get into these situations without even trying.
* {{Widget Series}}
* {{Zombie Apocalypse}}: In one story, a experiment gone wrong rises zombies from a graveyard. Save the least, the experimenters quickly become snacks.

* FootFocus: Peculia and all the sitters wind up barefoot in some form or another.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Peculia herself, the sitters needed four people to do the babysitting job and randomly asked Peculia to come along as they were desperate. [[spoiler: She unwittingly ends up being the vampires' downfall. If it had been anyone else, the sitters likely would've gone missing and joined Nicola's "family".]]

* SacrificalLion: The babysitters.

* SacrificalLions: The babysitters.

* {{Zombie Apocalypse}}: In one story, a experiment gone wrong rises zombies from a graveyard. Save the least, the experimenters quickly become snacks.

* {{Fetish Fuel}}: As creepy as things are, Peculia's adventures can be rather...arousing.

* {{Nightmare Fuel}}: Oh yeah

Combined with Sala's artwork and his knack for macabre storytelling, it is a very interesting read to mystery and monster lovers alike. Along with the issues in Evil Eye, there a self titled book and a original graphic novel (Pictured) ''Peculia and the Groon Grove Vampires''.

* {{Fetish Fuel Station Attendant}}: Peculia, oh my.
