| 3 | On November 11th, 2017, What Pumpkin unveiled the "[[http://hs.hiveswap.com/trollcall/ Troll Call]]", which was a feature of trolls that will be appearing in Act 2, with two trolls being revealed every week. The Troll Call lasted until March 14th, 2018. The page was updated with some new information and where to find each troll's ''Friendsim'' volumes on December 6th, 2018. |

| 5 | ''VisualNovel/HiveswapFriendsim'' lets you get to know these trolls a little better. |

| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | [[folder:Tropes applying to all of them]] |
| 12 | * AlphabeticalThemeNaming: |
| 13 | ** Almost all of the Tealblood trolls (including Terezi) have first names beginning with T. The only exceptions to this rule are Latula[[note]][[JustifiedTrope although this could be because she's from]] [[AlternateUniverse Beforus]][[/note]] and Stelsa. Even then, it should be noted that all known Tealbloods still have at least one T somewhere in their names. |
| 14 | ** Similarly, all Jadebloods seen so far have at least one Y somewhere in their names, including surnames. All known purplebloods also have an A somewhere in their first names, except for Kurloz, who has it in his surname instead[[note]]and is also from Beforus[[/note]]. |
| 15 | * AffablyEvil: Some of them are AxCrazy [[FantasticRacism and discriminate against Lowbloods]], but can also be friendly and won't kill everything on sight. This is especially true in ''Friendsim'', where they can be nice to the MSPA Reader and consider them a friend if the right choices are made, and not all of their bad endings involve them killing the Reader. |
| 16 | * {{Expy}} - Given that this is a ''Homestuck'' spinoff, expies of characters from within the comic, as well as those outside of it, are inevitable. |
| 17 | ** Past ''Homestuck'' characters: |
| 18 | *** Both Mallek and (Vriska) have a buzzcut and piercings. Elwurd also has part of her hair shaved, similarly-shaped horns, and her bio explicitly states that she's "Not Vriska." |
| 19 | *** Chahut and The Grand Highblood both have long hair and are accompanied with splatters of all blood colors (though, GHB has the splatters in his background and not on himself). |
| 20 | *** Kuprum is reminiscent of Mituna in the sense that they’re both psiionic Goldbloods based off the website Website/FourChan and have eye/headwear of two different colours (although his are purple and yellow as opposed to red and blue). |
| 21 | *** Folykl, meanwhile, has eyes similar to how Sollux's eyes looked [[spoiler: after he went blind]], implying that [[spoiler:she's also blind]]. [[http://poinko.tumblr.com/post/169900554570/is-folykl-blind One of the game' artists later confirmed this]]. |
| 22 | *** Vikare is a Bronze troll with horns that look similar to those of Tavros, and shares Tavros' dreams of some kind of flight. His hat and goggles also make him look similar to Horuss, leading to jokes that he's the child of Horuss and Tavros or Rufioh. His ''Friendsim'' route reveals that he also has a thirst for adventure and speaks in antiquated language like Jake English. |
| 23 | *** In contrast to Elwurd's "Not Vriska," Ardata's profile says that she is "Probably Vriska." She has a ThirdEye which may or may not give her an ability similar to Vriska's Vision Eightfold, a large arachnoid lusus to whom she feeds dead trolls to (though the relationship between them appears to be far less abusive than Vriska and Spidermom's), and can control the minds of lower-blooded trolls. |
| 24 | *** Zebruh is an Indigo-blood with an interest in Olive-blooded females, which harkens back to Equius being moirails with Nepeta. Additionally, his horns look like Horuss' infamous horse dildo. |
| 25 | *** The unnamed Caprira troll's hair as well as his horns' shape resembles Gamzee's quite a bit, and they both look somewhat unusual by their caste's standards. Additionally, the Caprira troll has a gold tooth, possibly suggesting a connection to [[spoiler: Lord English]], similar to how [[spoiler: half of Gamzee]] was part of said demon. |
| 26 | *** While Remele is the only female Cobaltblood whose bio doesn't mention Vriska, her outfit suggests she's a PirateGirl (although not necessarily the traditional kind), and she may or may not have abilities similar to Vriska's Vision Eightfold due to her unconventional eyes (one is blank and the other has a strangely-shaped pupil). |
| 27 | *** Galekh's stuffy, formal mannerisms are reminiscent of his fellow indigo Equius, and their horns are very similar. |
| 28 | ** Characters outside of the comic: |
| 29 | *** Cirava's neon green eye and magenta eye patch, as well as their smug-yet-mellow demeanor causes them to resemble the Website/{{YouTube}} sensation [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC--LAVm36WiCmqQbekV17qQ Roy Purdy]]. Not too surprising given that their designs take heavy inspiration from 80s/90s trends. |
| 30 | *** Azdaja is a blatant Expy of [[Manga/DragonBallZ Vegeta]], given his somewhat smug demeanor as well as possibly being a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. He even has Vegeta's scouter, and his first bullet references the infamous [[MemeticMutation over nine-thousand]] scene. Similarly, his partner Konyyl resembles Nappa, given her muscular appearance and destructive nature. |
| 31 | * MeaningfulName - Given how ''Homestuck'' names its trolls, it's only natural. |
| 32 | ** Zebede is a shortening of Zebedee, the father of James and John in [[Literature/TheBible the New Testament]]. Tongva is a Californian Native American tribe. [[http://jamesroachmusic.tumblr.com/post/177102884292/this-track-presented-a-unique-problem-in-that-i These are in reference to James Roach, who lives in Long Beach, California (where he assumed the Tongva people once lived).]] |
| 33 | ** Tyzias references Tisias, a Greek philosopher on logic and debate, while Entykk is an allusion to Antyk, an anti-communist Polish operation. |
| 34 | ** Mallek’s first name could refer to malloc, a function group in C standard library, or Creator/RamiMalek, who plays the main character of Series/MrRobot. Meanwhile, his last name Adalov refers to Ada Lovelace, daughter of Creator/LordByron and a founder of programming. |
| 35 | ** Daraya could either be a trollification of WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}, or the Somali word for "darling". Her last name Jonjet is a clear reference to Music/JoanJett, who wrote the song “Cherry Bomb” (which is likewise referenced in Daraya’s Troll Call profile). |
| 36 | ** Barzum and Baizli are trollifications of the titular Barnum and Bailey Circus, which is the TropeNamer for TheBarnum, whereas Soleil brings to mind Creator/CirqueDuSoleil. |
| 37 | ** Nihkee is Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, but could also be a reference to WWE wrestler Nicki Bella. Moolah is either slang for money, or Wrestling/TheFabulousMoolah (more likely the latter since Nihkee appears to be the troll equivalented of a professional wrestler). |
| 38 | ** "Chahut" is French for "mayhem or "bedlam", and may also reference ''Le Chahut'' (The Dancers), which is a French Neo-Impressionist painting. Maenad refers to the maenads, who are maniacal female followers of Dionysus. |
| 39 | ** Diemen could either mean the river Diem (itself originating from di eme, meaning "the water"), the German phrase "die men" (the men), or its agricultural definition of "a layered pile of hay, peat, or straw in the open field". Most likely it's a reference to Van Diemen's Land, the old name for Tasmania; Diemen is an oppressed rustblood living off the grid and surviving by theft, and Australia is well known for having been originally colonised by transported criminals used for slave labour. Xicali could be a shortening of Mexicali, the capital city of Baja California, known for its high crime rate. Both are appropriate as Diemen lives by stealing food. |
| 40 | ** Skylla is a variant of "Scylla", a sea monster in Greek mythology. It also means "blame" in Swedish. Koriga is Uzbek for "cousin". |
| 41 | ** Folykl Darane is a trollification of “follicle[[note]]group of cells that encloses a cavity in which some other structure or material is contained[[/note]] drain". She’s able to ''drain'' psychic energy from others to keep herself alive. |
| 42 | ** Kuprum is the Latin name for copper, which is a material used in batteries. Maxlol references the “Topkek” meme popularly used in {{Imageboards}} [[WhatCouldHaveBeen (originally his last name was supposed to be “Topkek”)]]. |
| 43 | ** Charun refers to [[TheFerryman Charun]], a {{psychopomp}} in Estrucan mythology. Krojib is a backwards Trollification of the Icelandic surname Björk, meaning "birch"; the birch is a symbol of new beginnings, fertility, protection, and gentleness. |
| 44 | ** Amisia is derived from Artemisia Ginteleschi, who is known for the portrait ''Judith beheading Holofernes''. Erdehn is based on the German word for earth (ground), "erden". |
| 45 | ** Tirona comes from either Daniel Tirona, a Filipino revolutionary, or "tyranny", as in His Honorable Tyranny. Meanwhile, Kasund is the Filipino word for "agreement". |
| 46 | ** Polypa is from the juvenile form of organisms in the phylum Cnidaria (jellyfish). Goezee refers to Albert Goozee, a 20th century British murderer. In her ''Friendsim'' route, it’s established that she’s a ProfessionalKiller who uses poison to kill seadwellers. |
| 47 | ** Tegiri is "a hand that performs its duty" in Japanese. Te-Giri is also a form of martial arts. Meanwhile Kalbur refers to Excalibur, the sword from the Arthurian legends. |
| 48 | ** Lynera refers to Álvaro García Linera, a Bolivian vice president and a fan of Marxism. Skalbi, meanwhile, recalls Kārlis Skalbe, a Latvian writer. |
| 49 | ** Galekh means '(Christian) priest' in Hebrew. Xigisi is short for "Exígisi" (εξήγηση), the Greek word for "explanation". Taken together, both names sound like the word "galaxy". |
| 50 | ** Vikare is the Etruscan name for Icarus, who famously flew too close to the sun and melted his wings. The name could also refer to valkyries, a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live. Ratite is the name given to classify large flightless birds. |
| 51 | ** Boldir sounds like either [[Series/TheXFiles Mulder]] or the [[Myth/NorseMythology Norse god Baldr]]. Lamati also sounds like 'Illuminati', especially when paired with the second syllable of her first name. |
| 52 | ** Cirava is a corruption of "cīvara", a type of religious robe that Buddhist monks wear. Meanwhile, Hermod refers to a Norse god of war. |
| 53 | ** Tagora means "that mountain" in Russian and various forms of 'mountain' in multiple East-European languages; appropriate, since he's trying to obtain mountains of money and climb the social ladder. It can also be derived from "Pythagoras". Gorjek is phonetically similar to the word "горек" (means "bitter" in Russian). |
| 54 | ** Ardata refers to a character from the fantasy series Literature/MalazanBookOfTheFallen who was known as the 'Spider Queen'. Carmia is Hebrew for 'Song' and also possibly a reference to 'Carmilla', a female vampire. |
| 55 | ** Marvus, in addition to being an abbreviation of "marvelous", also may be derived from Marvus the Strong, the overseer of the [[CircusOfFear Dark Carnival]]. Xoloto is juggalo slang for when a fake juggalo tries to be "in" with one's group. |
| 56 | ** Fozzer may come from the word "fossil", but also from the Spanish word "fosa", which is a hole dug specifically to bury one or more corpses. Velyes is the Russian god of the earth and underworld. |
| 57 | ** Stelsa could be from the word "stealth", whereas Sezyat refers to Seshat, the Egyptian goddess of writing and maths. |
| 58 | ** Wanshi comes from Wan Shi Tong, a Chinese phrase which means “He who knows ten thousand things”, and may also be a reference to the all-knowing owl from ''Franchise/{{Avatar|The Last Airbender}}'' franchise. Meanwhile Adyata means "child of Aditi" and is another name for the sun god Surya. |
| 59 | ** Bronya is Russian for 'Armor', while Ursama could be derived from the constellation Ursa Major. This likely explains her MamaBear tendencies. Ursama could also be a combination of "ursa", [[TeamMom "ma",]] and "-sama", a Japanese honorific used to refer to someone of higher status, as her design evokes a Japanese class representative. |
| 60 | ** Chixie has multiple Chinese meanings: ‘armored’ (持械), ‘to eat (crab)’ (吃些/吃蟹) or ‘later’ (迟些). Meanwhile, Roixmr might be derived from "Roxim", which is a brand name for the antibiotic Cefixime. |
| 61 | ** Zebruh is clearly a pun on the word “zebra” and the slang term “bruh”. Incidentally he has a zebra lusus and appears to have unconsciously learned his FantasticRacism tendencies from it, while simultaneously adopting black-and-white views on social justice. [[http://veedragon.tumblr.com/post/174728342124/so-i-just-learned-that-the-reason-zebruh-is-such-a Real zebras are apparently known for actually behaving in a way not entirely dissimilar to him.]] His last name Codakk references ''Webcomic/DresdenCodak'', specifically the controversy that its author was involved in; said author has also talked about how much he likes zebras. It also sounds like Kodak, the camera brand, and Zebruh was known as "Groupie" in the leak and behaves like a stalker towards lowblood singer Chixie. |
| 62 | ** Azdaja is Serbian for "dragon", likely tying in to the fact that he references ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. It could also come from the demon Kasdeya from the Book of Enoch. |
| 63 | ** Konyyl could be a trollification of the word "konul", which is Azerbaijani for "heart, soul", whereas Okimaw is a Plains Cree word for the leader of a tribe. |
| 64 | ** [[spoiler: Karako]] is both the shortened version of the Arabic word 'karakoze', meaning clown, and refers to a Japanese genre of art themed around the innocence and youth of Chinese children playing, while [[spoiler:Pierot]] is a shortened version of "pierrot", a character type from French pantomime which is similar to a clown. |
| 65 | ** Marsti is a Sanskrit word meaning (among other things) "purify" and "cleanse", a reference to her being in the "scrub life". Her last name Houtek alludes to the comet Kohoutek, a celestial body infamous for being considered underwhelming compared to the hype for its once-in-an-epoch appearance. It could also be a corruption of "Houdek", a type of soil unique to South Dakota. |
| 66 | ** Lanque could be derived from the word "langue" (both "language" and “tongue” in French, possibly referencing his former bullet point in which he was stated to have a sharp tongue), or from the word "calanque", a cove or inlet on the Mediterranean coast of France. Meanwhile, Bombyx comes from ''Bombyx mori'', the taxonomic name of the silkworm. |
| 67 | ** Remele in Hungarian translates to "expected", while Namaaq could be either be a rendition of the Dutch word 'namaak' (which means 'fake') or translation of "sack" in Swahili, which may refer to her "taking your shit and making it better." |
| 68 | ** Elwurd is a reference to the word lesbian, sometimes colloquialized as "the l word". |
| 69 | * PlanetOfCopyhats: Most of the trolls have some kind of similarity to the ''Homestuck'' trolls they share a blood colour with: |
| 70 | ** All known Purplebloods wear face paint [[MonsterClown and are associated with circuses in some way]], implying that the religious following Gamzee was part of is common among Purplebloods, if not exclusive to them. Knowing [[CrapsackWorld Alternian]] culture, being part of that religion might be ''required'' of all Purplebloods, [[DisproportionateRetribution or else]]. |
| 71 | ** Similarly, most of the revealed Goldbloods have TechnicolourEyes and some sort of psiionics. The only exceptions to this rule are Folykl, who lacks eyes and drains the powers of others as a result of a condition called voidrot, and Zebede, who has normal eyes and no known proof of psychic powers (except possibly being able to communicate with bees). Most Goldbloods also have four horns, except for Azdaja, who only has three, and it's unknown if he was always that way or if he once had a fourth horn that he lost. |
| 72 | ** All known Jadebloods have a single notched horn, except for Lanque, who has two. |
| 73 | ** Similarly, all Colbaltbloods have at least one spiked horn, with the exception of Ardata Carmia. Some of them also have unusual eyes, and it's implied this ties in with them having the same mind control abilities as Vriska. |
| 74 | ** Most known Tealbloods, namely Tyzias, Tagora, Tegiri, and Tirona, have jobs relating to Alternian Law. It's implied that they must be involved in the legal system, and are culled if they don't perform their duty. |
| 75 | * TakeThat: Some of the trolls are partly based off of internet archetypes. For example, Kuprum is most likely a call-out to Website/FourChan trolls, being a “stringent online crusader for the empire”, while Tegiri is based off of [[OccidentalOtaku otaku]] tough guys. |
| 76 | * TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: All of them are children or teenagers, and almost all of them display extremely violent and/or occasionally inappropriately sexual behavior. Cirava doesn't do the latter and has only been seen to physically harm themself, but openly does drugs with the MSPA Reader. |
| 77 | * UniquenessDecay: PlayedWith. The mutations that both Vriska and Sollux had seem to be more common comparatively in gold bloods and cerulean bloods that we see, but as they do not make up the whole caste, this is likely the Reader running into the very small minority that happens to have these mutations. Played straight with Jadebloods, as Kanaya's blood was noted to be pretty rare but they appear just as much as any of the other trolls (bar sea dwellers). Purple bloods are from the same cult as Gamzee despite it being described as ''very'' obscure and yet it seems to make up the ''whole'' caste. Then again, ''Hiveswap'' does take place at least a hundred sweeps before ''Homestuck'', so it might have become more obscure during that time. |

| 87 | An [[http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Arrius Arrius]] with a fascination with [[CallARabbitASmeerp "oblong meat products"]]. Revealed on December 6, 2017. He appeared in the first volume of ''VisualNovel/HiveswapFriendsim'', which released on [[ArcNumber April 13th]], 2018. |

| 92 | ---- |
| 93 | * AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler: Can become a victim of this in ''Friendsim'' at ''your'' hands if you eat a hotdog with him "''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' style", in which he chokes on his end of the hotdog before falling back and snapping his neck on a sharp rock.]] |
| 94 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: He reveals that he's always been made fun of due to his obsession with hotdogs. It doesn't help that he's a Rustblood, meaning that he’s constantly at risk of being culled. |
| 95 | * ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: His official aspect is Hope. |
| 96 | * ConditionedToAcceptHorror: According to ''Friendsim'', he isn't used to being treated nicely. This makes sense because he's the [[FantasticRacism lowest blood caste]], and fellow Rustblood Xefros feels a similar way. Unlike Xefros, however, he does get quite emotional about it. |
| 97 | * DoomedHometown: ''Friendsim'' reveals that his hive was destroyed by drones. Hence he’s forced to live on the streets and prioritise food-finding, all while avoiding being killed. In a later volume, Mallek offers to find him a place to live, but he declines, likely because he could still get in trouble for having a dead lusus. |
| 98 | * EyesOutOfSight: His eyes are always hidden behind his hair. |
| 99 | * InnocentInnuendo: His repeated mentions of his hotdogs in ''Friendsim'' are often misworded to the point where they could be easily mistaken for [[UnusualEuphemism sexual euphemisms]]. This isn’t helped by the fact that hotdogs are generally seen as a [[EroticEating phallic food]], nor the fact that his route often plays saxophone music that could probably [[{{Sexophone}} fit in an H-game]]. |
| 100 | ---> (| you just want a friend and not my Sweet Meat |) |
| 101 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/moonshine "Moonshine"]] by Alexander Rosetti. An exaggerated piece with prominent saxophone. |

| 103 | * MysteryMeat: |
| 104 | ---> oblong meat product contents: uncertain |
| 105 | * OlderThanTheyLook / VagueAge: His Troll Call sprite is proportioned like a literal toddler, and his haircut and clothes look like the sort a very small child would have. In-game he's clearly older than that, but still looks very young. The PC doesn't note that he's especially young, though, while they do with some of the other trolls. |
| 106 | * StepfordSmiler: While he has one of the cutest mugs of all trolls, he has a ''lot'' of emotional baggage given that his lusus died, he's currently homeless, and he's part of the lowest blood caste, meaning that he's often ostracised and is typically at risk for execution. |
| 107 | * TrademarkFavouriteFood: Apparently he really likes Alternian hot dogs, or "oblong meat products." His horns even resemble the ends of hot dogs. |
| 108 | * TheUnreveal: In ''Friendsim'' he mentions his lusus died, but doesn't say what kind of creature it was. Act 2 doesn't reveal anything about it. |
| 109 | * YouthfulFreckles: In fact, Diemen's freckles prove that trolls ''can'' have freckles. While his actual age is unknown, they make him appear to be younger than most trolls as well. |

| 119 | Ends her sentences with a face reminiscent of her goggles -_-@@ |
| 120 | ---- |
| 121 | * BerserkButton: The MSPA Reader innocently asks if she's considered going into medicine, and Marsti flips out at them, saying that if she applied to be a medic off-world, the best she'd get is being laughed at and handed a mop. |
| 122 | * ChallengeSeeker: Has this attitude when it comes to finding places to clean. She'll dismiss places that seem too quick and easy, or places that she's cleaned before. |
| 123 | * DeadpanSnarker: She talks like this most of the time. She even ends her sentences with "-_-" which is supposed to represent her goggles, but can easily represent an unamused face. Sometimes she stretches it out when she's particularly annoyed. |
| 124 | * DispenseWithThePleasantries: Her ''Friendsim'' route has her dismiss the MSPA Reader's attempts to befriend her, though she does open up slightly when they stay around. |
| 125 | * DontYouDarePityMe: Seems to have this attitude towards those who want to help her, thinking that she can handle herself well enough even if she is a lowblood, and when she does let you help her, it's not presented as her being in need. |
| 126 | * HiddenDepths: She seems to have some knowledge on troll biology and diseases, as she's able to tell Folykl has voidrot and advises that cleaning herself makes it easier to absorb energy. When presented with the idea of getting a medical job, she dismisses it because she doubts someone of her blood caste would be able to. |
| 127 | * IceQueen: She's rather cynical and most of the times she smiles are when she snarks. |
| 128 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She has a sour personality, and can abandon you when [[spoiler: Galekh's lusus eats some of his books just before he gets home]], but she hardly goes out of her way to be mean to people unless they're mean to her first, or are just annoying. She's mostly just snarky. |
| 129 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://soundcloud.com/jamesroachmusic/service-car "SERVICE CAR"]] by James Roach. It is a song originally written for an area full of other burgundy blooded trolls. |
| 130 | * MakingASpectacleOfYourself: It's debatable as to whether or not she can see out of those goggles. |
| 131 | * NeatFreak: Played with. She claims to not enjoy cleaning, only doing it because someone has to. That said, she'll clean just about anything that needs cleaning, even actively searching for places where she can do it. She also smiles when she sees how dirty Folykl is. |
| 132 | * PowerOfTheVoid: Her official aspect is Void. |
| 133 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: She's mostly cold and aloof, just wanting to be left to clean in peace, but she's open to ideas of places where she can clean, and gives Folykl some useful advice about how she could improve her condition by bathing. |

| 143 | * DueToTheDead: He digs graves even though trolls do not commonly bury their dead. He does so because something has to be done with those bodies, and because he doesn't want to be bothered by ghosts. |
| 144 | * FlatEarthAtheist: He says that if he encounters ghosts he'll tell them to go away since he doesn't believe in them. |

He's shown to be happy at first, but gets annoyed when the MSPA Reader tells him they think Alternia is alright instead of bad, and will be happy if they tell him it's bad. But then after [[spoiler: the flash of light causes time to reset]], if the Reader tells him Alternia is bad, he'll get annoyed, and they'll have to tell him it's alright to get the good ending. |

| 151 | * SoulPower: His official aspect is Heart. |
| 152 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: He goes out of his way to insist repeatedly that he doesn't believe in ghosts, though, as a member of the caste known for being able to speak with them, he knows damn well that ghosts exist in-'verse. |
| 153 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In Act 2, he is seen at the train station, and he's planning to catch the train to Jeevik week, yet he's nowhere to be found once you get on the train. It's unclear if he changed his mind, missed the train, couldn't even get on the train because of the lack of room in the lowblood car, or if he was there but was hidden behind the many trolls in the background. |

| 189 | * AntiquatedLinguistics: Downplayed, though his manner of speaking is strangely flowery and reminiscent of the early 20th century. |
| 190 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Where do we begin? Vikare is one of the stranger trolls in the Hiveswap Friendsim because all of his endings end in such unexpected ways, highlighting the truly bewildering social dynamics of Alternia. [[spoiler: Vikare scoffs at the existence of flying machines that aren't spacecraft, he mistakes the main character's paranoia as blackrom advances, and he delights in having fallen off a cliff.]] |

| 210 | * AttentionWhore: Implied with her bio saying she has "Self-promotion sickness." Very downplayed and justified by her appearance in ''Friendsim'', though; she's a lowblood and highbloods are likely to get more attention than her, and indeed, in her route, a music group of higher-blood trolls steals her gig and one of her songs. |
| 211 | * BerserkButton: Being kicked out of a concert in favour of a more popular band is already upsetting, but stealing her songs makes her extremely angry. |
| 212 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She's rather friendly, but you don't want to make her angry, especially not by stealing her songs. |
| 213 | * IdolSinger: She's cute and likes to sing a lot, even being well known, though she doesn't have a lot of followers online. |
| 214 | * LaResistance: In Act 2, it's revealed that [[spoiler: she has continued doing protest raps under an alter ego known as "The Mask", and that she knows about Dammek and his rebellion plans. She's planning on doing a protest at Jeevik Week, but she can be talked out of it in multiple ways]]. |

| 217 | * MessyMaleFancyFemale: In terms of who she was revealed with, she inverts this with Zebruh. |
| 218 | * NiceGirl: Somewhat enforced in that she ''has'' to play nice with the higher-blood trolls in charge of the clubs she sings at, since she's a lowblood and could easily lose chances to perform for no good reason at all. That said, she is genuinely polite, friendly, and kind to the Reader and appreciates their help, and even in her bad ending, is more upset with them (for justifiable reasons) than outright mean. |
| 219 | * PantsFree: She's not even wearing a skirt; it's just a really long hoodie. It's referred to as a "Sweater dress." |
| 220 | * PaperThinDisguise: In one path of her ''Friendsim'' route, she wears a mask to stand up to the band who stole her song, yet the symbol on her outfit is still visible and no one seems to notice except a troll who may or may not be Dammek, depending on when ''Friendsim'' takes place. |
| 221 | * PsychicPowers: Her official aspect is Mind, she also presumably has the animal communion powers that are common on brozebloods, though we have yet to see her use them. |
| 222 | * StepfordSmiler: As a lowblood who not only faces the dangers of being culled, but also being hit on by many of her fans, her expression hardly matches her true feelings. In fact, most of her smiles are nervous-looking. The new Troll Call page even describes her as having a "Customer service smile." |

Also, their description says "They shouldn't be alive," implying that whatever it was that happened to their eye may have almost killed them.

| 261 | * ActuallyFourMooks: Similar to the Soleil twins, these two ended up being two trolls sharing one card, with the odd "tools" poking out of the backpack actually being Folykl and her horns. This extends to ''Friendsim'', where they share a route. |
| 262 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Shown in their ''Friendsim'' route after they are [[spoiler: briefly separated by an attack from a drone]]. They're each relieved that the other is fine when they're reunited. |
| 263 | * CasualKink: Kuprum is obviously ''way'' too jazzed to be a living battery for his empress, but both of them seem to get off on their mutual power-drain dynamic. Make the wrong choices in their route and they tag-team you in the alley, him pouring his excess energy into you as she drains it out while kissing you. |
| 264 | * TheDividual: The Syndividual. Folykl is "Voidrot", which means she always need energy -- and Kuprum is her life support. They almost always together. Kuprum has more fun and optimistic personality, while Folykl is a more realistic troll. They're constantly making fun of and insulting each other, but still very good friends. In the game, they share the same route. |
| 265 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Folykyl and Kuprum are fond of pulling pranks on highbloods and make fun of the MSPA Reader, but they both keep them from trying to catch the bus (which will get them killed) and Kuprum (after a second of hesitation) levitates them as well [[spoiler:when a drone shows up]]. |

| 277 | * TheCameo: She unexpectedly turns up in Marsti's route, sans Kuprum. |
| 278 | * CantLiveWithoutYou: She has to drain energy from other trolls to survive, mainly doing it to Kuprum as he's a psionic Goldblood whose energy is presumably renewable. However, she can spend ''some'' time without him, as demonstrated when she appears in Marsti's route and at the train station in Act 2. |
| 279 | * EyelessFace: She doesn't have black eyes, ''she has no eyes at all'', just empty sockets. |
| 280 | * HorrorHunger: Downplayed. She needs to drain energy from others to live, which can kill those who don't have psychic powers, but doesn't need to do it ''all'' the time and can spend some time separated from Kuprum without dying instantly, which she compares to a laptop not dying the moment it's unplugged. |
| 281 | * ThePigPen: Her character description is "what's a shower". The MSPA Reader in ''Friendsim'' remarks that she smells just as bad as the surrounding garbage, if not worse. In Marsti's route, it's implied that she avoids showering because she mistakenly believes that being dirty would help insulate her. Marsti tells her that cleaning herself would actually make the energy transfer go easier. |
| 282 | * PowerNullifier: She drains psychic power "like an app you forgot to close out." So far, the only troll in the entire Homestuck canon known to have this power. This is caused by a condition called Voidrot that some Goldbloods have. |

| 328 | ** It's hard to tell, but he [[https://twitter.com/shelbycragg/status/968960286827855872?s=19 only has]] 3 horns compared to the 4 horns that Goldbloods normally have. Whether he once had 4 horns but lost one of them is unknown, since the area where his 4th horn should be is hidden by his hair. |
| 329 | ** Another trait differentiating him from the other Goldbloods is that he doesn’t have his teeth poking out of his mouth. However, this may be [[JustifiedTrope to make him more of a]] [[{{Bishounen}} bishie]]. |
| 330 | ** Among the known psionic trolls, his eyes are the only ones to not follow the hot/cool coloring convention, as both of his eyes are cold blues[[note]]This is assuming that Cirava's concealed eye was pink, given that their eyepatch also has pink on it, along with the rest of their outfit. Also, Folykl would have colored eyes if not for her Voidrot[[/note]]. However, other psionics seen in the background in Act 2 have similar colored eyes (and some of them even have two eyes of the same color). |
| 331 | * OfficialCouple: With Konyyl. [[spoiler:They seem to flip which quadrant it's in, though.]] |
| 332 | * ProfessionalKiller: The fifth volume of ''Friendsim'' implies that this is his job, before it was confirmed in the seventh volume. Although he may not have done as much direct killing as his partner Konyyl, instead being a strategist for her. Not that that stops him from taking part in a DeadlyGame, or trying to attack the MSPA Reader if they refuse to help him. |
| 333 | * PsychicPowers: His official aspect is Mind, he is also a powerful psionic. |
| 334 | * RedOniBlueOni: In contrast to Konyyl's aggressive personality and tendency to act without a plan, he is much calmer in comparison, unless he's caught off guard. |
| 335 | * TechnicolorEyes: Similar to the Captors, Kuprum, and Cirava before him, his eyes are solid shades of blue. |
| 336 | * WorthyOpponent: Considers Xefros this when he defeats Azdaja in a psychic duel. |

Given that she had bandages when she was revealed, it can be assumed that the authorities at least managed to give her a beating over the crime. |

Although her description states "Can't catch her if she's on fire" a footnote clarifies the bandages are not related to fire, so it's unclear whether it's meant metaphorically or literally.

| 435 | * ConspiracyTheorist: An uncommon female example. She's out to expose the "deep-state lunacracy," and her hat is lined with foil that she believes will protect her from "celestial influences." Basically, she's convinced there's some force on the moon that secretly controls troll society... which, as we know from ''Homestuck'', [[ProperlyParanoid is 100%]] [[TheCloudCuckooLanderWasRight true]]. |

She also dresses smartly, as if she's wearing a school uniform, and seems to take her Jadeblood duties seriously, though she uses it as an excuse for not wanting anyone else to be involved with Bronya. |
| 522 | * IronMaiden: [[spoiler: She keeps one in her Study Cave. It's bleeding out jade-colored blood]]. |
| 523 | * KilledOffscreen: Quite possibly. [[spoiler: If she is accused of stealing the book, she'll be taken away to the purpleblood car. By the time you get to that car yourself, she's nowhere to be seen]]. |
| 524 | * KnowNothingKnowItAll: About her relationship with Bronya. She claims that she is Bronya's best friend and threatens anyone who also wants to be friends with her, and acts as if she knows what's best for her instead of thinking about what Bronya herself wants. |
| 525 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/frostbite "Frostbite"]] by Toby Fox. Lynera shares this theme with Echidna. It is a coldblooded melody full of synths, appropriate for a Jadeblood girl who defends those she loves. |
| 526 | * LonersAreFreaks: She is hated by all her cloistermates (except Bronya) for damn good reasons, not least the fact that she proclaims her desire to be the "whip" keeping them in line. |
| 527 | * LovingAShadow: It's unclear whether she actually likes Bronya or just latched onto the only person who was willing to tolerate her. |
| 528 | * MoralMyopia: Although she was on the verge of murdering the MSPA Reader, she's horrified when the knife almost goes in accidentally, and frees them not long afterwards. |
| 529 | * MurderTheHypotenuse: Lynera's logical conclusion when the MSPA Reader chooses to make wild claims about their friendship with Bronya, specifically when the MSPA Reader claims to be getting red with her, is to try and kill them. |
| 530 | --> [[spoiler:"-oh no"]] |
| 531 | --> [[spoiler:"[[Music/TaylorSwift -look what you made me do!]]"]] |
| 532 | * NumberTwo: Allegedly this to Bronya in the Jadeblood hierarchy. |
| 533 | * ThePowerOfHate: Her official aspect is Rage. |
| 534 | * PsychoKnifeNut: Her route has a meter with the levels represented by knives that changes depending on her mood. She also threatens the MSPA Reader with a knife a few times. If it's up to 5 knives, you should be worried. |
| 535 | * ScaryShinyGlasses: At one point, if you've really made her unhappy, one of the lenses of her glasses turns white. |
| 536 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: An honor roll student who wears prominent purple glasses. |
| 537 | * StalkerWithACrush: To Bronya. She looks through her phone and even has a StalkerShrine with pictures of her everywhere. |
| 538 | * TragicVillain: She exhibits many signs of insanity: rapid switching between anger and regret, impulsive acts of violence, and a self-admitted lack of fufillment or happiness in her life. |
| 539 | ->''You'' [the Reader] ''don't feel guilty for doing what you had to do to escape unharmed, but you can't help but wish that you had been able to actually help her.'' |
| 540 | * {{Yandere}}: She's like this about Bronya- not to her face, but rather to those who want to spend time with her. She can also be like this about the MSPA Reader in the good end of her ''Friendsim'' route. |
| 541 | * YouCantFightFate: She is one of few cloistered Jades who actually likes her job (if not her coworkers), and seems pretty good at it, if Bronya's good ending is any indication. |

She defends herself by saying that [[spoiler:Lynera was ''that'' difficult to live with]]. If you get the standard ending, [[spoiler: she'll happily wave Lynera goodbye as she is convicted and taken away by Marvus to be killed]]. |
| 554 | * {{Bookworm}}: Her leaked codename was "Book Girl" and her description says she's active in the [[Literature/WarriorCats Soldier Purrbeasts]] fandom. She's also referred to as a "tomewriggler," which is most likely a troll's way of saying bookworm. Her ''Friendsim'' route begins with her curled up in a library shelf reading ''[[Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid Scribblejournal of a Cullable Wiggler]]''. |
| 555 | * BreakTheCutie: Happens on the bad path of her ''Friendsim'' route. First, she [[spoiler: sees a dead body for the first time]]. Then, after arriving at the convention, [[spoiler: an escaped cholerbear shows up with blood all over it, and the MSPA Reader kills it, only for it to fall on them and kill them too while Wanshi looks on in horror]]. |
| 556 | * FanGirl: Of "[[Literature/WarriorCats Soldier Purrbeasts]]". |
| 557 | * FreeRangeChildren: Averted. Even though other trolls who are younger than her are seen out by themselves, Wanshi has to stay in the Caverns until she's older because she's a Jadeblood and must be taught her duties. She has to sneak out to experience life outside the caverns. |
| 558 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://soundcloud.com/jamesroachmusic/wanshis-theme-idk-man-you-name-it-im-tired "idk man you name it im tired"]] by James Roach. It is a somber piece, that reflects the loss of innocence at the hands of not one single person but the society one grows up with. |
| 559 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Despite her youthful appearance which comes from looking short and chubby with a round face (Especially in her ''Friendsim'' sprite), she's actually five and a half sweeps, which is the troll equivalent of about twelve years old and not too much younger than ''Homestuck'' trolls when they are introduced [[KilledOffForReal (And only a few of those get to age anyway)]]. |
| 560 | * TheRunaway: Downplayed in her ''Friendsim'' route, where she sneaks out of the caverns because she was bored and wanted a chance to experience life outside, and also wanted to visit a convention, but shows no signs of never returning there. |
| 561 | * DreadlockRasta: Unlike the other trolls revealed so far, she has dreads. |
| 562 | * TheSmartGuy: She knows it. [[MythologyGag All of it]]. She also has a few moments of maturity, such as in one path of her route when she [[spoiler: sees a dead body for the first time]], and the other path when [[spoiler: she gets annoyed at the MSPA Reader for lying to her about taking her to the convention when really they were taking her home, but understands why they would do that even if it is upsetting]]. |

| 576 | * DefrostingIceQueen: She may seem aloof and pessimistic, but she's actually quite sad about her fate as a Jadeblood and can be quite friendly towards the MSPA Reader and Tyzias on her ''Friendsim'' route. |
| 577 | * {{Delinquents}}: Has apparently been in detention for all of her life, and she certainly looks the part. It's likely part of her wanting to rebel against Alternia's caste system. |
| 578 | * DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Implied to happen in the bad end of her ''Friendsim'' route when she sets the abandoned mall on fire and refuses to leave]]. [[spoiler: In Act 2 of ''Hiveswap'', she isn't that bothered about the possibility of being killed for a crime she didn't commit]]. |

A rockabilly song that tries hard not to feel too Jadeblood but still falls in the same trappings as a Jadeblood song with harps, bells, arpeggios, and quiet introspective moments. |
| 581 | * TheRunaway: Downplayed at first (her route has you running into her when she sneaks out for the night), but played more seriously later on, where she pleads with the MSPA Reader to take her with them when they go back to Earth. Unfortunately, this conversation is a sign that [[spoiler:you’re heading for a bad end]]. |
| 582 | * ShoutOut: Her {{Leitmotif}}'s title is a reference to ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''. |
| 583 | * SourOutsideSadInside: She's sarcastic, aloof and dismissive on the surface, but her route reveals that she's very depressed, and has cultivated her rebellious persona to hide it. |

| 626 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Well, in ''Friendsim'' anyway. The MSPA Reader seems to have stayed in contact with him, and one of the bad endings in Tirona's route implies that he values their friendship and thinks he's been betrayed if they decide to break into his office. The volume after that also states that he got the Reader a coffee machine that he apparently said was an old one he no longer used, but it still has the price tag, implying he might have bought it for them instead. |

| 629 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: Pretty much the only reason that he's a lawyer is so he can overcharge his clients. In fact, the only way you can continue on with his route is by pretending you're loaded with cash. |

| 651 | * BadassBoast: Stelsa suggests that she investigate the jadebloods as a way of practicing for "the cruelest bar" (the troll version of a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_examination bar exam]], which students are '''poisoned''' at the outset of and only given the antidote if they finish). Tyzias snarks that her not falling for such an obvious persuasion attempt shows she doesn't ''need'' to practice. |

While Joey calls her out on the blatant injustice, she does so from the perspective of a child raised in a human society; Tyzias agrees she has a point but reasons that if she's ever going to reform Alternian law, she has to sell the concept of a fair trial, and to do that her trial needs a satisfying ending. She describes her actions as planting the seed that could one day blossom into the justice system Joey expects.]] |
| 667 | * ThePowerOfBlood: A potential hero of blood, who values harmony above all else. |
| 668 | * TheSleepless: She "sleeps once a week", staying up to study law, which is probably responsible for her eye bags and her quirk which brings to mind slurring speech. |
| 669 | * {{Uncoffee}}: The only comment on the cup Tyzias is holding is "that's not coffee". In Volume Three of Friendsim, it is revealed that coffee is also called coffee by trolls, so one has to assume it to be something else. [[spoiler: It's just water]]. |
| 670 | * TheUnsmile: The few times her sprite has anything resembling a smile, it comes off as more of a grimace due to her overall dour demeanour. |
| 671 | * WhatYouAreInTheDark: As a Tealblood, her middle caste status guarantees her a relative amount of safety and power within Alternian society, enough for her to live comfortably without fear of being culled so long as she performs her duties as expected. [[spoiler: She chooses instead to try and reform the system from the inside, despite the very real risk of being killed for it.]] |

| 693 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: ''Friendsim'' reveals that he saved [[spoiler:Polypa]] from death while she was trapped in her hive. They've become friends since then. |
| 694 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Seems to be along this line when he attempts to congratulate Polypa for "finding love" when she declares she and the MSPA Reader are moirails, [[spoiler: despite it being hinted he may be pale for her.]] |
| 695 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: Carries one around with him, and has apparently killed many trolls with it (Although according to him, he only kills trolls who have broken the law in some way, which is understandable considering that Alternia's punishment for everything is death). The fifth ''Friendsim'' volume implies that it's not a genuine one. ''Hiveswap: Act 2'' outright confirms that his sword is fake. |
| 696 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/assault ASSAULT]] by Toby Fox. Tegiri shares this theme with Roxy Lalonde. An exciting chiptune song fitting for a cop who does lives his life upholding the law. |
| 697 | * NonstandardCharacterDesign: In his ''Friendsim'' route, when his eyes are open, his irises are shown to be purple instead of grey like young trolls are stated to have. Not only that, he seems to have multiple pupils instead of just one, something that has only been seen in Cobaltbloods. Subverted when he reveals that they're just contact lenses. A slightly straighter version comes with how he is drawn on his route's selection screen when hovered over, which is a ShoutOut to ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. |
| 698 | * OccidentalOtaku: His design, fondness of katanas, and his description referencing the infamous [[BlindIdiotTranslation “all according to keikaku”]] meme implies that he falls into this. His ''Friendsim'' route is just ''full'' of anime references, and his hive has loads of merchandise. In fact, his route is basically about going to watch anime with him, until he finds the DVD isn't exactly what he was expecting when he bought it. [[SeriousBusiness He takes it very seriously]]. |
| 699 | * ThePowerOfTheVoid: A potential hero of the Void. |
| 700 | * ScaryShinyGlasses: His eyes are obscured either by [[EyesAlwaysShut being closed]] or the light on his glasses. |
| 701 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Seems to feel this way about [[spoiler: Polypa]]. He rescued her but then realised he should kill her for having a dead lusus. However, he feels conflicted about this, and is friends with her instead. |
| 702 | * ToBeLawfulOrGood: His reluctance to kill [[spoiler: Polypa]] for having a dead lusus comes from this. "Lawful" is a bit of a stretch, though, [[AllCrimesAreEqual considering how Alternian law works]]. |
| 703 | * TooDumbToLive: In ''Hiveswap: Act 2'' he implicates himself during a trial purely so he can brag about how cool he is. Tyzias tells him to shut the hell up about it, but he forces Joey to ''prove he '''didn't''' commit the crime'' before he stands down. |

| 713 | * AffablyEvil: She may support TheEmpire, but she's still nice enough to save the MSPA Reader after they get caught by a drone and imprisoned in her ''Friendsim'' route, and even clears their offences that they've gained over the previous volumes. |
| 714 | * AstroTurf: [[spoiler: Tirona creates propaganda memes for Trizza, which she spreads through fake Chittr accounts]]. |

| 740 | * AffectionateNickname: She calls Tyzias "Zizi." |
| 741 | * AlliterativeName: '''S'''telsa '''S'''ezyat. |
| 742 | * BrickJoke: Her last bullet, which references how Marvus is supposedly “texting your sister”. |
| 743 | ---> wait, what did you mean, “texting your sister” |
| 744 | * CasualKink: She's implied to bottom for Tyzias. If you try to name her as a suspect in your trial, Tyzias will casually remark that she would be "punished... privately" if she were guilty. Stelsa is, of course, moritifed. |
| 745 | * GeekyTurnOn: Tyzias guesses, correctly, that a proper legal battle will "awaken" things in her. |
| 746 | * ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Her profile states that she has no accounting for taste, and it’s... quite apparent. |
| 747 | * JewishAndNerdy: Stated to be “troll jewish”, and is implied to be a bit of a nerd, since she has even less regard for her fashion than most other trolls. Also, her name refers to the Egyptian goddess of writing and maths. |
| 748 | * KnowNothingKnowItAll: She thinks she has a good taste in fashion, but as you can tell by her outfit, it's not that good of a taste. |

Stelsa's theme is an upbeat song that parodies the opening of 90's sitcoms such as [[Series/FullHouse Full House]] and [[Series/FamilyMatters Family Matters]], proper for she who lives her life idyllically. |
| 750 | * MotorMouth: She's described as talking loads without having to stop for breath. Her lack of commas in her sentences supports this. Her text also scrolls really fast in ''Hiveswap''. |
| 751 | * NoIndoorVoice: The only troll in Hiveswap so far whose quirk involves talking in capital letters at all times. Not only that, but she doesn't use punctuation, which gives the impression of her continuously shouting rather than putting breaks between parts of her sentences. |
| 752 | * PinkMeansFeminine: One of the only non-Fuchsia trolls to prominently wear pink, and she definitely has a feminine design. |
| 753 | * ThePowerOfBlood: Her official aspect is Blood. |

| 770 | * AnimalMotifs: Ticks, thanks to her lusus. |
| 771 | * ArcNumber: 3. She has 3 eyes, which she reflects in her quirk, and ''Friendsim'' shows lights in her hive in groups of three, and a camera stood on three legs. Her horns also have 3 chips each in them. |
| 772 | * AxCrazy: Described as “bloodthirsty on main”, and [[ObviouslyEvil definitely looks the part]]. According to ''Friendsim'', she keeps other trolls in cages and films them as some kind of entertainment. Also, she decorates her hive with troll horns. In Act 2, [[spoiler: you can get a Game Over by accepting her invitation into her train cabin, [[NothingIsScarier though it's unknown exactly what she does to you in there]]]]. |
| 773 | * BeingEvilSucks: Played with. In ''Friendsim'', she says that she fears punishment if she stops harming others and sharing videos of it online, and a later volume implies that once you choose a job, you're stuck with it or you'll be culled. It doesn't help that, similar to Vriska, she has to use other trolls to feed her lusus (although she seems to get on better with said lusus than Vriska did with hers). It's unknown how reliable she is, though, and she ''is'' a threat in Act 2. |
| 774 | * CollectorOfTheStrange / CreepySouvenir: She collects other trolls' horns (presumably leftover from either dying in her videos or being fed to her lusus) and decorates her hive with them, even using them as handles and switches. |

| 779 | * NoblewomansLaugh: One of her sprites has her striking the pose, though her actually laugh is more of a mix of boisterous "Wahaha"s and "Hmhmhm"s. |
| 780 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Disregarding the obvious extra eye, all of the other known Colbalt-bloods have horns that curve inward, with at least one of said horns having some sort of spike on it. Ardata's horns, however, curve outward and don’t have any sort of spikes to speak of, instead being chipped. Additionally, they're a bit thicker than the other Colbalts' horns. |
| 781 | * ObviouslyEvil: Her heinousness may not be as blatant as [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Chahut's]], but her conniving pose, meanacing face, and dark outfit as well as being described as "bloodthirsty [[Website/{{Tumblr}} on main]]" gave fans the impression that she was kind of crazy. Their suspicions were later verified come ''Friendsim'', as she uses caged trolls as entertainment for her fans, although she implies she only does so because she's required to harm others as a highblood, or couldn't stop doing it after she became famous for it. |
| 782 | * PoisonAndCureGambit: In Volume 13 of ''Friendsim'', she considers adding something new in her streams: poisoning trolls and making them find the antidote hidden somewhere in her hive. [[spoiler: The MSPA Reader tries to steal the poison but ends up stealing the antidote instead, which just happens to be useful when Boldir gets poisoned]]. |

| 863 | * PetTheDog: Despite his insistence that he only really looks after himself, he still pays Diemen and another lowblood to bring the MSPA Reader to him, and even offers to find a place for Diemen to live. |
| 864 | * PlayfulHacker: He likes to hack technology, and even considers taking control of the drones, though he is hesitant to go too far with it in case he gets in trouble, and because he thinks there's not much point as he will have to leave the planet soon. |
| 865 | * PrettyBoy: His ''Friendsim'' sprite shows him as one of the more attractive trolls. It helps that he has a ShirtlessScene at one point. |
| 866 | * ShipTease: His friendsim is one of the flirtiest in the entire game. The good route has the MSPA Reader character think about Mallek's appearance and accessories far more than any other (oftentimes thinking of his specifically attractive characteristics, like his "impossibly blue eyes"). Not only that, but Mallek openly checks you out, and in the good route you directly flirt with him, trying to be "cute", hinting towards an attraction [[spoiler:that, based on his blush, might be mutual.]] |
| 867 | * ShirtlessScene: Happens when he [[spoiler: rescues the MSPA Reader from the water that he impulsively threw them into]]. |
| 868 | * SuddenAnatomy: His ''Friendsim'' sprite has visible ears, while his normal sprite does not. Elwurd's ''Friendsim'' sprite doesn't have visible ears despite having a partially shaved head like him, so it's possible he's only an exception to show off his piercings. |
| 869 | * TechnoWizard: Described as a “master of the blockchain”. A blockchain refers to a series of records that are linked and secured by cryptography, often used for cryptocurrency. Indeed, he does have experience with technology and hacking. |
| 870 | * TimeMaster: A potential hero of time. |

| 883 | * AffectionateNickname: Chahut calls her "liTTle blue." |
| 884 | * AxCrazy: Her bio states that “cutting heads is harder than you'd think”, and she makes her own paint (which is made of troll blood, for the record). She’s an indigoblood, so this doesn’t come as a surprise. |
| 885 | * BerserkButton: Other artists. |
| 886 | * BespectacledCutie: Wears large, round glasses, adding to her deceptively cute appearance. |
| 887 | * BigOlEyebrows: Possesses significantly thicker eyebrows than the rest of the cast. |
| 888 | * CorruptedCharacterCopy: Like Nepeta, she loves making art, is very cute, and is in love with someone. But while Nepeta hunts wild animals and uses their blood for paint, Amisia is a MadArtist whose paint comes from the blood of other trolls. And while Nepeta loves Karkat but is content with admiring him from afar, Amisia is a {{yandere}} towards the MSPA Reader. |
| 889 | * CuteAndPsycho: Aww, look at her adorable pose! Aww, look at her sweet smile and wide eyes! Aww, look at how she... [[OffWithHisHead cuts off a troll's head]]... so she can [[HumanResources extract the blood to use as paint]]... |
| 890 | * FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: She's described as angelic and cute by [=MSPA=] Reader in Friendsim. She also kills trolls to use their blood as paint. |
| 891 | * FlippingTheBird: Does this in ''Friendsim'' if you tell her you're an artist. Turns out she doesn't like other artists. |
| 892 | * TheGlomp: Chahut's route starts with her tackle-hugging you down a hill after you get off a train. |
| 893 | * GoryDiscretionShot: |
| 894 | ** Technically, the splatters on her smock are paint. However, Alternian paint is made of blood, so it still counts. |
| 895 | ** Also happens in ''Friendsim'' when she gets you to kill a troll, and although it doesn't work, the screen still has blood on it. In the other path of the route, the screen will be covered in [[spoiler: your own]] blood from [[spoiler: accidentally hurting yourself with her axe]]. |
| 896 | ** Happens again in a later ''Friendsim'' volume when she and Chahut kill a Bronzeblood. It's at this point that [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere you get fed up with all the murder, and leave]]. |
| 897 | * HumanResources: Paint on Alternia is made of troll blood, and she gathers it herself, with some help from Chahut. |
| 898 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: Has one with Chahut, as she appears to be quite a young troll, while Chahut is almost an adult. |
| 899 | * InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler: The fact that she angrily yells that she was going to let you into her "pusher"[[note]]shorthand for "Blood Pusher", the Troll term for the Heart.[[/note]] during one of her bad ends and the fact that the exclamation mark in her good ending's "You will never escape!" is dotted with a heart implies she might be flushed for the MSPA Reader, though it's ambiguous if she knows you're an alien or not.]] |
| 900 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://soundcloud.com/jamesroachmusic/i-guess-its-called-artchop-i-didnt-name-it-but-im-down "ARTCHOP (I GUESS)"]] by James Roach. A smaller orchestral piece for a curious little artist. |

| 902 | * TheMuse: [[spoiler: As it turns out, she's never actually painted ''anything'' due to lacking inspiration. After finally being inspired by you and your "messed-uup, disguusting muutant blood" ''you'' become her muse... [[{{Yandere}} And she's not too keen on letting you die or escape any time soon.]]]] |
| 903 | * OffWithHisHead: Seems to be her preferred method of execution. |
| 904 | * PrecociousCrush: During Chahut's route she gets rather flustered at the implication that she and Chahut are Moirails, stating that she's "too young for Quadrants." This would make her crush on the MSPA Reader during her route's good end, which is canon to Chahut's route, fall under this. Based on her blush it could be assumed that she also has a pale-crush on Chahut. |
| 905 | * PsychicPowers: Her official aspect is Mind. |
| 906 | * TerribleArtist: It's implied that, despite having lots of money to pay for top-tier lessons, she's still an awful, talentless artist. She was also lacking inspiration until you showed up. |
| 907 | * TheUnreveal: There's no sign or mention of her lusus. Presumably it was elsewhere in her hive. |
| 908 | * {{Yandere}}: Can become this towards you in ''Friendsim'' if you make the right choices. However, she seems to have lightened up as of Chahut's route. |
| 909 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Her Troll Call sprite doesn't look especially young, but in-game she's one of the youngest of the bunch. |

| 920 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: While he does behave formally towards Chixie, he makes her extremely uncomfortable by making sure that she’s obligated to comply to his demands, and appears to have romantic ulterior motives for doing so. He also has a lot of interest in Marvus, who does not feel the same way. |
| 921 | * AmazonChaser: He likes Olive-blooded girls for their strength, something that other trolls are afraid of. |
| 922 | * AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: In Marvus' route he can get his arms torn off by the concert's audience, and possibly other parts of him too, enough to kill him]]. |
| 923 | * AnimalMotifs: Zebras. Not only is his name a pun on the animal, the animal's black and white color scheme could possibly reference his thinly-veiled FantasticRacism towards lowbloods. Apparently he also [[http://veedragon.tumblr.com/post/174728342124/so-i-just-learned-that-the-reason-zebruh-is-such-a acts like a real one]]. |

| 925 | * CasanovaWannabe: He’s pretty desperate to have his quadrants filled, especially by low bloods. He also frequently drives the Reader into romantic situations despite their repeated desire to merely be friends. |
| 926 | * DepravedBisexual: Trolls come pansexual as standard, and Zebruh fits that in the creepiest ways possible, manipulating Chixie and Reader and practically stalking Marvus. |
| 927 | * HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: His zebra lusus invokes this with coat markings shaped like a bowtie. |
| 928 | * HasAType: Seems to have a preference for Olive-blooded female trolls because of how strong they are. |
| 929 | * HateSink: The developers heavily implied that he was designed to be as unlikable as possible, being a creepy, casteist, and privileged snob. It helps that his horns make him a [[VisualPun dickhead]]. |
| 930 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He declares himself to be a defender of lowblood rights and critiques his fellow highbloods for taking advantage of them, though it’s clear that he’s just as prejudiced and doesn’t actually care about the the welfare of lowbloods. He’s apparently unable to recognise his own hypocrisy, since in one of the bad endings, he [[spoiler:accuses [=MSPA=] Reader of not respecting lowbloods and treating him unfairly before kicking them out of his house]]. |
| 931 | * {{Jerkass}}: Sleazy and self-centered, he tends to monopolise entire conversations in favour of doing what he wants, and would either talk over or flat-out ignore the preferences of others. |
| 932 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/hollow-suit "Hollow Suit"]] by Alexander Rosetti. It's a jazzy piece, that feels just a bit sleazy, like Zebruh. |
| 933 | * MessyMaleFancyFemale: Inverted with him and Chixie, whom he was revealed with. |
| 934 | * MovingTheGoalposts: In ''Hiveswap: Act 2'' he offers his train ticket to Joey and Xefros if they're able to get him Marvus's autograph, then if they get Marvus to listen to his mix tape. They're finally able to get the ticket from him once they convince him to go to Slam or Get Culled tryouts instead of Jeevik Week. |
| 935 | * NonstandardCharacterDesign: The other known Indigo trolls so far have horns that are pointy in some way. His horns... well, let's just say they're not so pointy. |
| 936 | * SharpDressedMan: Even if he is a jerk, he does dress up quite nicely. |
| 937 | * VisualPun: His horns look like Horuss's horse dildo. This isn't just for a CallBack: it's also because he's a ''dickhead''. |
| 938 | * WaistcoatOfStyle: A snazzy-looking highblood with a nice waistcoat and bowtie. |
| 939 | * WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: He's a parody of this trope. He expects lowbloods to be grateful to him for treating them better than other highbloods, despite [[spoiler:effectively using his lowblood “guests” as ''slaves''.]] |

| 1049 | * NoNameGiven: His Troll Call bio just says "Who is this?" and "Seriously. I don't know who this is." His name remained unknown [[spoiler: until he got a ''Friendsim'' route, where it was revealed to be Karako Pierot]]. |
| 1050 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: His horns are grey and white as opposed to the shades of orange all other troll horns come in. His ''Friendsim'' route confirms that they're just painted. |
| 1051 | * IntelligibleUnintelligible: Despite only speaking in honks, he is perfectly understood by the MSPA Reader. |
| 1052 | * OneWordVocabulary: He only says "Honk." |
| 1053 | * PsychicPowers: His official aspect is Mind, he also has powerful chucklevoodoos. |
| 1054 | * PsychoKnifeNut: He's a weird. creepy MonsterClown and he carries some knives, and uses them when he gets aggressive. |
| 1055 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes turn from yellow to red when he gets angry. |
| 1056 | * TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: If he isn't held back from attacking the Violetbloods, they kill him. Then the MSPA Reader tries to avenge him and gets killed too, leading to the two being reunited in death on a carousel in the Dark Carnival]] |
| 1057 | * TheUnintelligible: He doesn't speak, only honks. Whether he can speak, but chooses not to, or cannot speak and honks instead is unknown. He's very expressive despite his lack of speech, though. |
| 1058 | * WalkingSpoiler: The fact that his real name is revealed in ''Friendsim'' makes him this. That, and what happens to him [[spoiler: if he gets killed]]. |
| 1059 | * WildChild: Implied by his lack of shoes and feral pose. He's certainly one of the younger trolls, perhaps even the youngest troll from the Troll Call. |
| 1060 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: His Hiveswap sprite makes him look around the same age as most of the other trolls. His ''Friendsim'' sprite shows him to look younger, but still not as young as he's implied to be, as his necklace says "If lost, call Bronya Ursama," implying he's not that much older than a grub. James Roach described him as "the one clown you are not allowed to be horny for" on Twitter due to his age. |

| 1069 | * AffablyEvil: He really does seem to like Joey, still acting friendly even while forcing her to [[spoiler:kill three trolls for his amusement and never once doubting her word that she has done so... At least, not out loud where the other Purplebloods can hear [[note]]If Joey speaks to him just before leaving to get refreshments during the third round, Joey will start to confess that she hasn't actually killed anyone before Marvus cuts her off and gives her encouragement.[[/note]].]] Overall, he just doesn't seem concerned with whether anyone else thinks the joke is funny. |
| 1070 | ** He's also quite friendly when dragging off [[spoiler: Lynera, telling her she'll get to pick her favorite ride at the [[DeadlyEuphemism Dark Carnival.]]]] |
| 1071 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: His interactions with Joey in Act 2 are fairly friendly, but he still drags [[spoiler:Lynera]] off to the purpleblood car if they're found guilty in the trial, forces Joey to play a game requiring her to [[spoiler:kill three trolls of different colors (the last of which is his ''own'' blood color)]]... then accepts her flimsy evidence of having committed the deed, ''and'' [[spoiler:releases Xefros from Chahut when Baizli goes after Joey]]. It's a bit hard to know what his agenda is. |
| 1072 | * AxCrazy: Implied by the fact that he's a “midsummer nightmare”, and the fact that he’s a [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Purple-blood]]. |
| 1073 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: The earliest hint to what he's like is when [[spoiler: Zebruh manipulates Joey into extracting favors for him, from an autograph to making Marvus listen to his mixtape. Marvus doesn't get the slightest bit angry when Joey complains about it. Instead, he talks up Zebruh's ego, knowing he has no talent, and convinces him to go on "Slam or Get Culled" - the losers of which, of course, are executed.]] |
| 1074 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: It can be a bit difficult to take him seriously at first due to the way he talks. However, he ''is'' still a Purpleblood, and [[spoiler:he also seems to be aware of alternate timelines and the fact that this is a story]]. |
| 1075 | * TheCameo: He can be seen in Remele's route of ''Friendsim'' in the art gallery. And, of course, he's missing his hat. He is also implied to be visiting the same church Chahut takes you to in volume 9, though his own route doesn't confirm it. |
| 1076 | * CleavageWindow: A male example, in which he's rocking a suit with his pecs out. His ''Friendsim'' and Act 2 trial sprites exaggerate it. |
| 1077 | * EruditeStoner: Some of the backgrounds in his ''Friendsim'' route have [[FantasticDrug slime pies]], but he has quite a lot of knowledge about [[spoiler: alternate timelines and the choices that determine them]]. |
| 1078 | * ForTheLulz: Xefros describes his mentality, and that of all purple-bloods, as this. He'll help you, as long helping you strikes him as funny - up until he decides it's funnier to hurt you. [[spoiler:Xefros is right.]] |
| 1079 | * HatOfAuthority: He wears a fancy tophat as part of his circus ringleader look. Out of all the purplebloods so far, he's pretty much the one who exercises his authority the most with having the most say on the "games" they play. |
| 1080 | * HiddenDepths: If his appearance in ''Friendsim'' Volume 7 is anything to go by, he seems to have an appreciation for art. |
| 1081 | ** His own route shows that [[spoiler:he also has a notable bit of knowledge about time shenanigans, recognizing terms such as "non-canon."]] |
| 1082 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: In his ''Friendsim'' route, he helps the MSPA Reader after Zebruh takes them to his concert, either protecting them from the violence of the crowd (Which is apparently common) or by [[spoiler: pretending to kill them instead of actually going through with it when the crowd demands it]]. He says this was because he felt pity over them being there with Zebruh, who only wants to get on the purple caste's good side. |
| 1083 | * JiveTurkey: He uses a lot of slang and abbreviations in his speech. It also extends to his text, where he'll often use XtremeKoolLetterz. |
| 1084 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://soundcloud.com/jamesroachmusic/clownfucker-by-james-roach-and-toby-fox "Clownfucker"]] by James Roach and Toby Fox. A regular song that slowly adds in circus-related sound effects and musical instruments until the whole melody is just a hodgepodge of clownfuckery. |
| 1085 | * MessyHair: Not the worst of it, but still pretty bad. |
| 1086 | * MediumAwareness: Almost disturbingly so. |
| 1087 | * MonsterClown: Has elements of this in his design. |
| 1088 | * RepulsiveRingmaster: His main motif. He’s the head of the “shitshow” after all, and he’s a “midsummer nightmare”. |
| 1089 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: MSPA Reader notes that Marvus' rapping is specifically "not racist". Marvus later calls them a gutterblood and casually suggests seadweller genocide, so the implication is that MSPAR's obsession with him is colouring their view somewhat. |
| 1090 | * TimeMaster: A potential hero of time. |
| 1091 | * TopHeavyGuy: His ''Friendsim'' sprite shows his upper half to be significantly wider than his lower half, specifically his chest. |
| 1092 | * TheUnreveal: Played with. Just like Ardata, his sign is nowhere to be seen on his outfit, and his bio's icon has it hidden behind a curtain. However, on the Troll Call page, he was briefly seen wearing a hat with a Caprist symbol on it. It was soon removed, however, and [=WhatPumpkin=] denied that it was actually his sign, claiming that he was lying. He's wearing it in Act 2, but odds are good he's still lying. |
| 1093 | * XtremeKoolLetterz: Uses a lot of this in his speech. |

| 1101 | Barzum and Baizli, purpleblood twins (Barzum is a [[http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Capriun Capriun]], while Baizli is a [[http://hs.hiveswap.com/ezodiac/truesign.php?TS=Caprimini Caprimini]]) who "share everything". Revealed together on November 22, 2017, and even share a single slot and are not even considered separate features. They, along with Lanque, are the last in the Troll Call to be featured a ''Friendsim'' volume, released December 14th, 2018. |

| 1107 | which one of them talks in which case@@ |
| 1108 | ---- |
| 1109 | * ActuallyFourMooks: They were shown as a single silhouette, but the shadow's head turned out to be their masks combined together, and the rest of the features were thanks to them being near-identical twins. |
| 1110 | * AmbiguousGender: Excluding the non-binary trolls Cirava and Charun, they were the only trolls whose genders and pronouns were undisclosed when first revealed, not helped by their somewhat androgynous designs [[TrollingCreator and the staff's refusal to answer any questions about it]]. Eventually, their ''Friendsim'' route showed Barzum to be a girl and Baizli to be a boy, though since they switch their quirks and expressions often it remains to be seen if they switch their pronouns too. |
| 1111 | * AngstySurvivingTwin: [[spoiler:Barzum becomes this at the end of Act 2. It doesn't get much angstier for Barzum than writhing on the ground because she can't feel Baizli's presence anymore.]] |
| 1112 | * BlowYouAway: Barzum is a potential hero of Breath |
| 1113 | * CoolMask: Each twin wears half of one. Said halves resemble parts of the tragedy and comedy masks. |
| 1114 | * CreepyChild / EnfantTerrible: They're among both the youngest and the scariest of the Troll Call. |
| 1115 | * CreepyMonotone: Barzum talks with one most of the time, but when she and Baizli switch quirks, she talks more angrily. |
| 1116 | * CreepyTwins: Given that they are purplebloods, they already qualify for this trope ''without'' considering the fact that they look like ConjoinedTwins. |
| 1117 | * TheDividual: The new Troll Call page doesn't know whether to refer to them as "Two clowns, or two halves of one clown," and they state that they were supposed to be one troll but divided into two before they hatched. |
| 1118 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: It's hard to tell, but while their Troll Call image and ''Friendsim'' route showed them to have the same hair length, Baizli's hair is slightly shorter than Barzum's in Act 2. |
| 1119 | * FinishingEachOthersSentences: They often talk like this, though it's not as apparent as other examples. |
| 1120 | * HalfIdenticalTwins: Apart from their masks and mirrored hairstyles and outfits, they look identical but are both male and female. In fact, they are literal identical twins, as they hatched from the same egg.[[note]]Real life identical twins are the same sex, but it's unclear is this is the case for them too with one of them being transgender, one or both being intersex, or if it's just BizarreAlienBiology.[[/note]] |
| 1121 | * HiveMind: They claim to have this, saying that they were supposed to be one troll but split into two before they hatched, yet still share each other's thoughts, though it's unknown if their mind really is this way [[LiteralSplitPersonality and parts of their personalities]] are in separate bodies, or if it's just how their psychic powers happen to work. |
| 1122 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Happens to Baizli after Xefros pushes him off the bridge between the blue and purple cars onto the spikes below.]] |
| 1123 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Towards the end of Act 2, Baizli attacks Joey as she returns to the purple car, only for Xefros to come to her rescue, pushing Baizli off the bridge onto the spikes below.]] |
| 1124 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-final-clowntdown "the final clowntdown"]] by James Roach, a daunting tune with a few honks and laughter in the background for two [[CreepyChild creepy children]] who like to "play" with visitors. |
| 1125 | * MagicalClown: They seem to be able to create illusions strong enough for those affected to think it's real. |
| 1126 | * MasterOfIllusion: Their chucklevoodoo abilities are able to create very convincing illusions. |
| 1127 | * MonsterClown: Their designs are based prominently on the tragedy and comedy masks, they wear face paint like most Purplebloods, and have psychic powers that they use to make people hallucinate terrifying imagery. |
| 1128 | * NoIndoorVoice: Baizli is described as talking loudly and excitedly, as shown by his quirk, but when he switches quirks with Barzum and talks in lower case instead, he talks sadly while Barzum shouts angrily. |
| 1129 | * PolarOppositeTwins: Barzum is shown to look sad or worried and talks with a CreepyMonotone in lower case most of the time, while Baizli looks much happier and talks with much more emotion in upper case. However, if made unhappy they will switch quirks, with Barzum being angry and Baizli being sad. |
| 1130 | * SadClown: Barzum is a tragicomic and wears a somewhat worried look on her face. Baizli also becomes this when their quirks switch. |
| 1131 | * ThousandYardStare: One of their methods of communication involves this. |
| 1132 | * TwinTelepathy: Their other method of communication, as they share each other's thoughts. While they ''do'' have psychic powers, it's unclear if said powers are the reason behind their shared thoughts or if it's a case of LiteralSplitPersonality. |
| 1133 | * WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about their involvement in Act 2 without revealing that [[spoiler: one of them dies]]. |
| 1134 | * WrongContextMagic: Trolls hatch from eggs and do not form families. Having hatched from the same egg, Barzum and Baizli are the first pair of troll siblings to be seen in any ''Homestuck'' media. |
| 1135 | * YouCantFightFate: Baizil's official aspect is Doom. |
