| 28 | * Pampered. Wealthy. Classy. Young. Beautiful. A cut above the rest, treated like it, and damn well knows it. Genuinely first-class in all her ways and thoroughly respected for it. Emilie de Rochefort is the only daughter of a wealthy oil magnate from Monaco whose company is one of the most powerful economic forces in the universe hosting the King of Iron Fist tournaments. Emilie, or Lili, believes in and practices good manners and doesn't take kindly to those who she described as having bad manners. Though she can be somewhat snobbishly flippant or dismissive of others' opinions and talents, she also has a sense of curiosity when taking notice of novel qualities said others may possess. She's secure enough in her family's wealth to assume the right to both take whatever she wants by purchase and give away any gifts she doesn't find appealing. In short, she's a materialistic and naïve rich kid. Who's actually far more compassionate and competent than she sounds. |
| 29 | ** For one thing, Lili has had a taste for combat ever since was kidnapped and held for ransom at twelve years old and had to fight to free herself. In order to satisfy this taste, she travels the world on vacation on her family's dime, but secretly uses the time to seek out street fighting tournaments to participate in. Let's be honest, usually it's to win. After receiving an invitation to the fifth King of Iron Fist tournament from an opponent she defeated in San Francisco, she would compete in the tournament after realizing that its hosts were the Mishima Zaibatsu, a financial conglomerate that was in business with her father. She ultimately was defeated in the tournament by Asuka Kazama, forming the basis of her leading rivalry, as well as found out by her father and subsequently grounded. |
| 30 | ** Later, though, the Mishima Zaibatsu decided to take over the Rochefort oil fields as part of its war campaign under new CEO Jin Kazama, driving her father's business to near bankruptcy and causing him to collapse in stress. So she went into battle ''again'', this time entering the sixth Tekken tournament in hopes of using the winnings to recover the oil fields and help her father. While she still didn't win the tournment, or kill Jin for that matter, it appears Heihachi has relented control back to Rochefort Enterprises after retaking his company. |
| 31 | * When it came time to look for a proper and respected young lady to cover the throne of Ojous, the Trope Pantheon could not avoid making the invitation to the Monegasque oil heiress, despite the trepidation her rivalry with Asuka, and the trouble she would cause to provoke the Kansai girl into fighting her, gave some of the Court of the Gods' judges pause. She accepted the invitation and flew into the Pantheon, appearing before the Court while flanked by her loyal butler Sebastian. Sebastian would vouch for her good nature, examples being how she kept her fighting endeavors a secret to avoid displeasing her father, gave away an SUV because [[Pantheon/FamilialPerspective Lars Alexandersson]] needed it to get to Jin, and was genuinely happy whenever she got to fight Asuka as she truly is fond and respectful of the Peacemaker's skill. The court's judgment found Lili a fitting representative goddess for the Ojou temple. |
| 32 | * Gets along very well with Charlotte [=LaBouf=], having tea and beignets every now and then. |
| 33 | * Amongst her antics regarding Asuka, she once enlisted her rival to cooperate with her [[VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken in the quest for Pandora's Box]], which Asuka had refused at first due to the arrogance of Lili's invitation, before accepting when continuing news about the box piqued her interest as well. It was there that they met up with Chun-Li and Cammy, battling twice. One was on Lili's tanker, which took off which only Lili on it, forcing Asuka to evade the officers and catch up with her partner. The other was at a half-pipe skateboarding area on the east coast of the United States, where Chun-Li and Cammy intercepted the girls while they were arguing Asuka's plan to sneak onto a less obvious boat to get to Antarctica. How the battle went down is unclear, though neither duo would come out with Pandora in the end. |
| 34 | * Aside from putting Asuka's relative on thin ice with her, Lili's ordeal with the Mishima Zaibatsu almost driving her father into bankruptcy has given her a healthy distaste for those who would use vast holdings of money for evil or capricious purposes. Amongst her housemates, this has particularly given the Reagan Siblings, Princess Morbucks and Looten Plunder a prominent position on her black list. She also avoids Prince Charmles as best as possible due to his cheap ass habits, although she admits that she never will call him "Charmless" as she finds the insult to be cheap in its own right. |
| 35 | * [[VideoGame/DigimonWorldReDigitize In one world]], a Numemon named Catherine became partners with Lili. Yes, *this* Lili. Interestingly, she managed to find a way to Digivolve it into a Monzaemon, and then into a Lilithmon. |
| 36 | * ''"My battles... are for my father."'' |

| 49 | * Rivals: [[Pantheon/SpaceManipulation Shu Shirakawa]], [[Pantheon/FacialAttributes Momo Karuizawa]] |
| 50 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/EvilActions Kurogiri]], The House of Pantheon/{{Villainy}} and the evil deities in the House of Pantheon/CrimeAndTransgressions, Eliza and Neil Reagan, Princess Morbucks |
| 51 | * Respects: [[Pantheon/SpaceManipulation Enigma]] |
| 52 | * Respected by: [[Pantheon/{{Commerce}} Scrooge McDuck]] |
| 53 | * A sweet and outgoing young girl who aspires to be a hero, which is the reason why she joined the U.A. Academy, Ochaco Uraraka also wants to help her parents economically and when she becomes a hero she promised to help them with their business. Her economic situation compared to that of her classmates is why she was given this position in the pantheon, something that embarrassed her a little but nothing that she couldn't deal with. |
| 54 | * Was extremely happy to learn that Izuku Midoriya was among the pantheon ranks and quickly tried to visit him to see how he was doing. She didn't expect All Might to be sharing a house with him but nonetheless feels glad that the number one hero and her best friend are ascended. |
| 55 | ** She was also very excited when she heard the news that her friend [[Pantheon/SupportPowers Tenya]] had ascended, and visits him on occasion. |
| 56 | * Her quirk allows her to control the gravity of anything she touches, which usually comes in handy when having to levitate certain objects or when having to quickly incapacitate someone. Originally she tried to audition for GravityMaster but learned that it was taken, but nonetheless she considers Shu Shirakawa a personal rival of hers. |
| 57 | ** As the entities that embodies and represent gravity itself, Ochaco has a lot of respect for Enigma. She is interested in learning how he functions but fears that the fundamental is so out of her league that it might become dangerous if she decides to train under him. |
| 58 | * Even if Ochaco's general appearance of a cute and fragile girl may say otherwise, she is a rather talented fighter as well (Who was at one point praised by none other than [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Bakugo]] and often likes to train the House of Pantheon/FightingAndCombat whenever it's possible. She often brings Deku along, since she admires his fighting style and analytical mindset. |
| 59 | * Gatsby sympathizes with her situation since he had to go through the same when he was younger until he became rich. While Ochaco appreciates and understands the circumstances of Gatsby's past, she doesn't like how he relied on bootlegging to earn quick money. |
| 60 | ** Sharo Kirima was another deity who bonded with Ochaco, telling her that she got into her school on a scholarship and still was poor compared to her classmates. Plus, she finds it really cool that Uraraka is attending a school full of super heroes. Sharo also noticed that she [[Creator/AyaneSakura sounds a lot]] like her friend Cocoa. |
| 61 | ** Scrooge [=McDuck=] of all people is someone that respects Ochaco's goal of supporting her family financially in a respectful way, something that caught her off guard. |
| 62 | * Surprisingly got along with Hinata Hyuga after learning that both are {{Nice Girl}}s who [[FanOfTheUnderdog always believed in someone that others doubted]] and [[CannotSpitItOut have hidden feelings for them]]. After hearing the later statement, [[LuminescentBlush Uraraka's face instantly turned red]] and insistently denied having feelings for Deku, but [[EveryoneCanSeeIt nobody buys it]]. Also the most noticeable coincidence between Ochaco and Hinata is that they share birthdays (27th of December to be exact). |
| 63 | * One of the most notable physical traits are her BlushStickers, which highlights her cuteness a little bit. Her friends initially thought Ochaco would be a great fit for that in the pantheon but the spot was already held by Momo Karuizawa, which Ochaco considers a rival as well and admires the little girl's fighting style ([[OlderThanTheyLook Even if Momo is actually her age]]). |
| 64 | * [[CannotSpitItOut Despite her intense feelings toward Midoriya and her inability to act on them,]] she has been working to [[LoveIsAWeakness suppress her feelings to focus more on her goals]]. While some admire her for her work ethic, others worry if this is a healthy way of dealing with the problem, with one even warning her on the potential regrets she could have since heroes have dangerous lives and one day may die suddenly. [[TwiceShy Appropriately, Deku may feel the same way, but has not come to terms with his feelings nor is it known whether he'd do the same as Uraraka.]] |
| 65 | * Her quirk has been proven to be useful when a building is destroyed and is need of repairing, which has made the life of deities like Emmet and Fit-It Felix much easier. [[FridgeLogic Some people wondered]] since that would also help a lot with her parents' construction business then why she hasn't done that instead. The reason for that is that her parents have encouraged her to follow her dreams instead of being stuck working for them. |
| 66 | * Even if she personally doesn't mind other people being rich, she isn't fond of those who [[RichBitch are both rich and bad people]]. Special mention goes to the Reagan siblings and Princess Morbucks, the latter especially for being a villain. |

| 82 | * Coming from the land of [[IstanbulNotConstantinople Gal]][[UsefulNotes/{{France}} lia]] is Perrine H. Clastermann of the 501st JFW. Before the Neuroi invaded and took over Gallia, Perrine came from an extremely wealthy family and after Gallia was liberated, Perrine donated all her funds to rebuilding her homeland. |
| 83 | ** Perrine's magic is called "[[GratuitousFrench Tonnerre]]", it gives Perrine a wide AOE lightning attack. Despite being really powerful, Perrine doesn't use it very often because [[VanityIsFeminine it messes up her hair]]. |
| 84 | * Originally, Perrine was much more antagonistic towards not only Yoshika because Yoshika and Mio were more friendly with each other than [[ClingyJealousGirl Perrine would have liked them to be]] but also the other Strike Witches because Perrine didn't like how a lot of them were too lax despite being in a war with the Neuroi. |
| 85 | ** However, after the liberation of Gallia from the Neuroi, [[TookALevelInKindness Perrine started to lighten up around her teammates and became a lot closer with them.]] Perrine never really got over Mio though. |
| 86 | * It's not uncommon to see Perrine trying to raise money however she can so she can give it all to the Gallia reconstruction efforts. This has earned Perrine the friendship of other generous and kind rich deities such as Elizabeth, Jerrica Benton and Rarity. |
| 87 | * Perrine can sometimes be seen playing with the orphaned children of the pantheon as she converted her manor into an orphanage for children whose parents were killed during the war against the Neuroi. |
| 88 | * Even though Perrine enjoys being in the house of commerce because she's good friends with Jerrica Benton and Emilie de Rochefort due to their shared [[UnclePennybags generosity]] and [[{{Ojou}} upbringing]], Perinne is simultaneously reluctant to go the Demigods and Quasideities section due to the existence Princess Morbucks who Perrine finds to be completely despicable due not only to her [[SpoiledBrat per]][[{{Jerkass}} son]][[LackOfEmpathy ali]][[RichBitch ty]] but also due to her [[ConspicuousConsumption views on spending money]]. |
| 89 | ** The same applies to Eliza and Neil Reagan. |
| 90 | * Perrine gets along well with Mirai, Azusa Nakano, Len, Yoruichi Shihoin and Mako because they all share Perrine's motif of a black cat. Don't ask Perrine if she likes Bernkastel though, it'll likely end with you being electrocuted. |
| 91 | * You can sometimes see Perrine hiding behind a corner, watching [[Pantheon/TypesOfService Major Mio Sakamoto]] from a distance, when asked what she's doing, Perrine will frequently answer with a very flustered "Nothing in particular!" Don't get too friendly with Mio though otherwise Perrine will start to act [[GreenEyedMonster somewhat]] [[ClingyJealousGirl antagonistic]] around you, unless your name is Ooi who acts the same around people who get too friendly with Kitakami. |
| 92 | * Perrine finds it kinda jarring how many people [[Creator/MiyukiSawashiro sound]] [[Creator/JadSaxton like]] her including but not limited to: Koneko Toujou, Nico Robin, Twilight Sparkle, Robin, Cammy White, Carl Clover and Sakuya Izayoi. |
| 93 | * Perrine found herself enjoying being with Charlotte Dunois as she seems to have come from a [[IstanbulNotConstantinople similar but different]] Gallia to Perrine and finding they knew a surprising amount about the other's culture despite never being there. |
| 94 | ** Although Perrine doesn't like Remy or The Spy very much due to the fact that Perrine can't trust either of them; one because he's an asshole and the other because no one can trust him due to supposedly working for multiple sides at the same time. |
| 95 | * Perrine is well liked by Yomi due to the fact that she spent her family's fortune towards rebuilding her homeland rather than spend it on something selfish as that is the kind of person that Yomi absolutely hates. |
| 96 | * Perrine gets along pretty well with Emilie de Rochefort, Tsumugi Kotobuki and Aoi Futaba due to their [[{{Ojou}} shared upbringings]]. |
| 97 | * Perrine is good friends with Weiss Schnee as she too is familiar with how to use a rapier, came from a wealthy family and was a jerk to one of their friends upon meeting them but warmed up to them eventually. |
| 98 | * Also has a spot in the House of [[Pantheon/RoyaltyOther Royalty]]. |

| 121 | * Son Goku's first friend, the vain yet smart and beautiful scientist whose inventions have helped Goku and the Dragon Team to navigate their way through many adventures, heard one day about how most of her friends had ascended to the Pantheon. She then decided to join just because, gaining no complaints from the Court of the Gods when she showed off both her beauty and the [=DynoCaps=] that her family's company is famous for. During her ascension he was immediately greeted by her friends and they celebrated with a party. |
| 122 | * Now she has some of the most devastating slaps, only rivaled in her world by those of Chi-Chi. She will slap anyone who pisses her off and she doesn't care who or what you are. ''She freaking slapped the God of Destruction.'' And got knocked out for it, sure, but even that jump-started her husband's road to ascension to PhysicalGod tier, so kudos to her. |
| 123 | * She doesn't like to be reminded of the time [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged she solicited her future son for sex]]. With the exception of Krillin and a few other brave members of the Pantheon who are willing to mock her for it, not many will point this out in fear of receiving her signature slaps. For a short while, things would get veeery awkward whenever she had to see her son, as both of them would rather forget that said moment ever happened. Eventually they processed the fact that she didn't know who he was at the time and were able to get over it enough to speak to each other naturally, but it is still a sore spot. |
| 124 | * She is an absolute genius when it comes to robotics and has become one of the go-to deities when you need something fixed, such as cyborg repairs. She even singlehandedly built a time machine, and it's possible she could fix an I.S. She can be seen talking with Tony Stark on occasion, mainly about that subject. Vegeta doesn't like this knowing [[TheCasanova the latter's reputation]] and [[{{Tsundere}} not because he's jealous or anything]]. |
| 125 | * She, like many, dislikes Ryoma Sengoku and views him as a good for nothing scientist. |
| 126 | * She is [[BlatantLies currently 38]]. Do not insinuate that's she older because [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial she's not]]. Well some of more snarkier gods tend to notice that at least she isn't faking her age too much unlike some others. |
| 127 | * The biggest conundrum is trying to find out how she and Vegeta got together. It just seems so random though one would think it's BirdsOfAFeather but even then it was difficult to see. Eventually, Vegeta admitted casually that, being a true Saiyan, he loves her strong will. Most of the Pantheon were shocked because it makes so much sense now. |
| 128 | * Despite not being much in a physical situation, it's been noted that her gadgetry frequently advances on the territory of godly power. Among her creations are radars that can locate artifacts that summon wish-granting dragon gods, machines that can travel through time even more freely than the trinkets of her world's deities, artificial energy barriers strong enough to contain higher-order Super Saiyan powers, and pocket-sized capsules that are theoretically capable of storing entire armies. It is terribly underestimated how absurd her skills can get. |
| 129 | ** Given her reputation, it's no surprise other gadgeteer ladies have visited her temple while making their rounds. The most notable of those who've become her friends include Winry Rockbell and Karen Starr. Much to her relief, Vegeta didn't think ill of either one; in fact he entertained the notion of playing matchmaker for Trunks when it came to Winry (though knowing that Winry is closely attached to the Elric brothers [[spoiler:as Edward's destined wife]], it didn't last long), as well as included Power Girl on his list of those who would make pretty good Saiyans. |
| 130 | * Following her [[spoiler:fission from her evil side]], Android 21 visited Bulma to talk science and ended up admiring the heiress' engineering genius. To her annoyance, 21 also gorged on all the string cheeses. They're still good with each other, though, as 21 since ascending has made it a point to come by Bulma's temple often. |
| 131 | * After the Tournament of Power, Bulma convinced Vegeta to make that aforementioned "honorary Saiyans" list into a team, especially after meeting Cabba when he became the herald of Vegeta's temple. He agreed to this, even asking her to join in as their personal engineer. Heartened that he would consider her for this so quickly, he again reminded her that as his chosen bride due to her strength of will, she fits the criteria better than anyone despite not being a fighter. For example; she just encouraged the idea. She's not about to be left out in the cold. |
| 132 | * She also gave Android 17 the boat he planned on wishing for to travel the Earth with his family [[spoiler:after being told how he'd decided to forgo that wish and revive the erased Universes from the Tournament, saving the entire multiverse from a GodzillaThreshold judgment in the process]]. |
| 133 | * Way too many people think Brief(s) is her last name as opposed to her father's given name. Future Trunks has only recently found the time to be able to address this issue, but she's glad it's finally being pointed out. |
| 134 | * Is fascinated with the feats of one genius physicist Sento Kiryu, the greatest one being [[spoiler:[[MergedReality combining two parallels worlds to create a completely new one]]]]. To say Bulma was impressed by this phenomenon that defies the laws of physics would be an {{Understatement}}. |

| 146 | * Heralds: Eli "Big Daddy" [=LaBouff=] (her father), Stella the Basset Hound (her pet dog). |
| 147 | * Allies: '''[[Pantheon/{{Transformations}} Tiana and Prince Naveen]]''', [[Pantheon/CausesOfSadness Karen Minazuki]], every good goddess in the House of Royalty (particularly the princesses!), [[Pantheon/CouplesArchetypes Belle and the Beast]], [[Pantheon/FanserviceAttires Jasmine]], [[Pantheon/OtherCriminals Aladdin]], Lili de Rochefort, [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Rarity]], [[Pantheon/{{Destinies}} The Cutie Mark Crusaders]], [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Carly Nagisa, Mulan]], [[Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture Ariel]], [[Pantheon/CausesOfSadness Jay Gatsby]] |
| 148 | * She believed that she ascended after making a wish on the wishing star. What ''really'' made her ascend was her friendship with Tiana, whom she helped get her dress up for a lavish ball she held and paid her enough money to open her restaurant. This moment made the Gods realize that Lottie deserved her position. |
| 149 | ** What cemented her case was during an incident when both Tiana and Prince Naveen —whom Lottie was going to marry to— had been turned into frogs, and that only a kiss from a princess (She was the princess of the Mardi Gras Fair that night, [[ItMakesSenseInContext just go with it]]) would save them. When she learned how much her friend was in love with Naveen, [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy she was happy for her friend's success and wished her good luck.]] This is because that while she wants her dream to marry a prince, she also wants Tiana to have happiness too. Many gods were moved by this, particularly during the time period that this took place in, and welcomed her to the Pantheon with open arms. |
| 150 | * Became good friends with Rarity due to their desire to marry princes. Lottie ''loves'' all of the dresses Rarity makes and pays her a lot to have them commissioned. After having some time wearing them, she lets young girls have them so they could all be princesses. |
| 151 | * Even though she's a goddess, she ''insists'' that she be called a princess. She also searches around the Pantheon, searching for a prince to marry. She doesn't mind if they say 'no'; she can wait. |
| 152 | * When Tiana finally made it to the pantheon, Lottie burst into joy and gave her best friend a hug. She makes frequent visits to the Food Pantheon because of this. When Prince Naveen ascended, she hugged him, handed him some beignets, and jokingly asked when his little brother was arriving. |
| 153 | ** When Gordon Ramsay ascended, Charlotte heard him shouting, afraid that he was insulting Tiana's cooking. Not wanting to see her friend in tears, she ran toward him and nearly got herself into a fist fight with him. It took some tea, beignets, gumbo and a 30 minute talk for Ramsay to explain that he was praising Tiana for working her way up to accomplish her dream as it reminded him of an individual who once entered Hell's Kitchen with that same passion and hard-work ethic. Charlotte has since forgiven him (although she still does wince when Ramsay starts his yelling once more). |
| 154 | * While traveling throughout the House of Emotion, she spotted Karen Minazuki. After some time together over beignets, gumbo and fairy tales, the two became fast friends. Lottie has now decided to help Karen on her mission to cheer up those who are rich yet lonely. Because of this, she decided to help Karen Minazuki with her plan to share her money with Jay Gatsby, and now visits Gatsby in the House of Sadness with tea and beignets. Jay Gatsby is thankful for Charlotte, especially for her love with her close friend Tiana. |
| 155 | * When the new Royalty House came to be, and Princess Peach arrived as the first honorary god in the house, Charlotte rushed toward her and was excited to see a true princess in front of her eyes. The two spent some time talking to one another over tea, cake and some beignets which ended with Princess Peach giving her an honorary title of princess-in-training. Charlotte fainted in happiness. With the addition of Snow White, Aurora and Cinderella, Charlotte has worked twice as hard to become a princess just like them, but she hasn't lost sight of being the generous girl that she truly is. |
| 156 | ** Has heard of Xehanort's plan of using the Princesses of Heart to unlock Kingdom Hearts. While she may not be a real princess in any sense of the word, she's willing to disguise herself as a Princess if need be. |
| 157 | * When Belle entered the House of Love, and Charlotte congratulated Belle for finding love with The Beast, she had the most brilliant idea ever. She began reading lots of books about fairy tales from Belle's personal collection and the House of Knowledge, deciding to use that knowledge for all young girls who desired to become princesses. After all, who better to teach them about how to be a princess when she herself was working hard to become one? |
| 158 | * Padme's ascension into the Pantheon made Charlotte happier than before. Alongside Padme's [[UnlimitedWardrobe beautiful clothes]], she's jumped at a chance to be one of her doubles because that means she'd be a PrincessForADay. Tiana has been talking to her about the dangerous that would be. |
| 159 | ** Unfortunately, even Charlotte can't control the Cutie Mark Crusaders' energy and curiosity. She's gotten many complaints from the gods in regards to the destruction the little fillies have caused with their roundabouts here. That is, until the Crusaders' obtained their Cutie Marks. Charlotte burst into tears that day, and the Crusaders are helping her find a purpose in life that revolves around her love of being a princess. |

| 175 | * EvilCounterpart: [[Pantheon/OtherWeaponTropes Cinder Fall]] |
| 176 | * One of the last of the Princesses of Heart to ascend, Cinderella found herself in the company of the other princesses in the House of Royalty. Gets along well with both Snow White and Aurora, who are her predecessors of being princesses and also because of their ways with their animals. |
| 177 | * Most of the time, Cinderella ranks as a Demigoddess, but should she ever be with the other Princesses of Heart, her rank jumps to Overdeity. There's a good reason why Jasmine, Belle, Alice, and Kairi are in different houses… |
| 178 | * In an alternate timeline where her stepmother took away her chances to be with the Prince, she resorted things into her own hands and [[TookALevelInBadass rode a demonic carriage]] in order to gain Prince Charming's hand in marriage. |
| 179 | * [[Pantheon/CommercialArchetypes Charlote LaBouff]] rushed into Cinderella's temple, so ecstatic to find three of ''the'' most important princesses in all of fairy-tale lore in one roof. Charlotte has declared that she was going to work just as hard as Cinderella in order to have her dreams come true and that she would one day be a princess in the House of Royalty. |
| 180 | * Cinderella didn't seem to mind cleaning up after her [[AlwaysChaoticEvil chaotically evil step-family]], but some gods believe she was merely putting on a [[StepfordSmiler smile]] to please them, completely obvious to the fact that they deathly hated her. In fact, when they heartlessly ripped her dress (after Jaq and Gus, with Ventus' help, fixed it), the Cooper Gang (Sly, Bentley and Murray) considered the Tremaines to be criminals, and robbed them that night as payback, leaving a note behind that warned them to treat her kindly or they will "kidnap" her. [[spoiler:The trio would later attend Cinderella's wedding out of kindness.]] |
| 181 | ** Cinderella later revealed why she remained kind to her evil step-family before she was freed from their tyranny: she wanted to honor her real mother's final words ("Have courage and be kind."). Many gods, especially [[Pantheon/NarrativeTone Jak]], symphonized with her over these words, but a few have also told her that "[[CompleteMonster some don't deserve kindness]]". |
| 182 | * Cinderella actually didn't start to hate her step-family until [[MoralEventHorizon they tried to murder her with the Cursed Coach Unversed]]. [[Pantheon/CombatMagic Aqua]] was able to save her, before the two witnessed the step-family burn as they sadistically laughed at her suffering. |
| 183 | ** [[spoiler:Since their world was among the first to be destroyed, it's rumored that the Tremaines [[FridgeHorror kidnapped Cinderella and brought her to Maleficent after they destroyed their world as revenge]]]]. |
| 184 | ** Because of her own problems with her evil sisters, Goneril and Regan, [[Pantheon/MannersOfDeath Cordelia]] has agreed to keep an eye on the mice should something happen to the Princess of Heart. Since the two have so much in common, it's feared that Cordelia's sisters may ''also'' have control of the Unversed, and are planning a similar plot on their sister... |
| 185 | ** [[Theatre/IntoTheWoods One timeline]] had Cinderella send out several crows to ''peck out'' Drizella's and Anastasia's eyes before they could even summon the Cursed Coach. [[spoiler:And that was ''before'' she dumped her {{jerkass}} prince and helped [[Literature/LittleRedRidingHood Red Riding Hood]], [[Literature/JackAndTheBeanstalk Jack]], and a widowed Baker take out a Giantess…]] |
| 186 | * However, Aqua came to Cinderella and reported something shocking. In another lesser known verse, had the sisters not really gave in to ThePowerOfHate, at the very least, Cinderella would be able to let one of them, Anastasia, [[HeelFaceTurn see the light]] and becomes a respectable Goddess, or hints that Drizella was this way [[JerkassWoobie because of emotional bullying by Tremaine]]... but the influence of [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep the version in Aqua's homeland]] [[PopularityPower was too strong]] that the darkest version was the one entering the Pantheon, and what's worse... they were not the 'originals'. Cinderella did the impossible: she wiped away [[CryForTheDevil one single tear]] on Aqua's eye and proposed to at least get the stepsisters out of the Pantheon out of the respect of those 'original selves'. And as for Lady Tremaine... well, let's just say her hatred to her stepmother increased tenfold. |
| 187 | ** The step-sisters are now out of the pantheon, but if they ever want to return, they must atone for their crimes first. |
| 188 | * After the ascension of her step-mother, security in the Royalty house drastically increased to prevent her from ever going near her again, especially following reports of [[spoiler: [[Fanfic/BadAlertTheExtreme her alliance]] with Courtney Gears]]. Cinderella even borrowed a ''[[{{BFG}} Judicator]]'' from [[Pantheon/WeaponizedTools Ratchet]] to protect herself should she ever find herself in danger again. |
| 189 | ** Does not know what to think regarding Homura Akemi's [[NightmareFuel ret]][[IronicHell ali]][[GroundHogDayLoop ation]] against Lady Tremaine. Aqua and Sly have both encouraged Cinderella to view her torture positively, as she truly deserves it, especially since Homura's motive (protecting a small child who has suffered from incredibly cruel child abuse) is at the very least sympathetic. |
| 190 | ** Carrie White has even made sure that Lady Tremaine would never think of abusing anyone else again, as she made sure that whenever Tremaine touches Cinderella, she'll see the final moments of Chris Hargenson and Billy Nolan in her head. For some odd reason, Carrie asks why Cinderella didn't just use her powers as a Princess of Heart to escape. |
| 191 | * Cinderella also has a male and modern counterpart in James Henry Trotter, who like herself, lost his parents at a young age, forced to live with two aunts who despise him and make him do all the chores, while dreaming of reaching New York City in the future. Cinderella really hates Spiker and Sponge for not only being cruel to James, but for being among the few to be ''worse'' than her own step-mother[[note]]except in ''Kingdom Hearts'', where they (plus the step-sisters) are all on the same level[[/note]]. |
| 192 | * Cinderella doesn't like to talk how she's the basis for Cinder Fall, especially in light of [[spoiler:Pyrrha's death, and Weiss' impalement]]. In a sense of irony, while Cinderella escaped being burned alive by her wicked stepmother, [[spoiler:Cinder was frozen by Yang's wicked ''biological'' mother]]. |

| 208 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: '''[[Pantheon/{{Anger}} Asura]]''' (one-sided on her account for what he did to Hayate) |
| 209 | * Ascended to the Pantheon for being someone of vast wealth who lacks understanding of how the world mostly works. At one point, she couldn't get a vending machine to work because she couldn't grasp how the machine only excepted a small amount of money. |
| 210 | * After her ascension, she went to go look for Hayate. When she did, he became slightly hesitant and triggered due to an incident involving a [[Pantheon/MagicCasters certain former priestess]] and her overprotective father, fearing another unholy beating. Seeing that it wasn't a trick, Hayate, with TearsOfJoy, ran up to to his mistress and grabbed her in a hug. Nagi blushed brightly, but didn't hold back for once. |
| 211 | * With Nagi around, Hayate's tasks have become much more busy as he is not waiting on her hand and foot once more. Not that he minds it. To him, it's just another day. |
| 212 | * Being an Otaku, she enjoys meeting some of the characters of her favorite anime who happen to make it into the Pantheon. |
| 213 | * Is the former follower of Shana, and is one of the three holy trinity of Shana avatars. With her ascension, Shana hopes that Louise and Taiga would join as well. |
| 214 | * Has found common ground with Rin and Asuka. Rin would often give her tips in trying to attract Hayate, while Asuka as decided to teach her a thing or two in self defence. |
| 215 | * While she is somewhat of a brat towards Hayate a times, she cares and loves him to the point that anyone who wrongs him in anyway is put on her shit list. This leads to an incident seen bellow. |
| 216 | ** Was horrified to hear from [[Pantheon/LustfulActs Hyodo]] [[Pantheon/PowerMentalities Issei]] about what Asura did to Hayate simply for speaking to his daughter Mithra over a small case [[Creator/RieKugimiya mistaken identity]] and immediately went over to his temple to confront him, despite the warnings of from almost everyone of what Asura might do to her. Asura calmly explained to her that as Hayate is a member of the Pantheon/GUAGChickMagnetQuartet, he doesn't trust him, out of fear of him "corrupting" Mithra. While Nagi can understand Asura and is glad that Mithra has such a good father, the fact remains that he hurt Hayate, gave him nightmares for weeks on end and, ironically enough, ''made him cry''. As such, Nagi will never EVER forgive Asura. |
| 217 | * She has become friends with Yayoi Kise and Murakumo, who also want to become {{Mangaka}}s just like her. Why they didn't want to be with her at first is obvious, both are shy and Nagi has a bit of an attitude. But after Ashirogi Muto's ascension, they noticed they did have something in common, so they banded together and are trying to become a new group. |
| 218 | ** Incidentally, she also really admires the aforementioned Ashirogi for being deities of {{Mangaka}}s. [[{{Tsundere}} Not that she would ever admit it in front of most people]]. |

| 231 | * Princess Morbucks joined the Pantheon due to her usage of money to fight against the Powerpuff Girls. She even convinced the majority of the Gods that her power of cold, hard cash was better than both technological advances and mystical dark arts (her former villain comrades Mojo Jojo and Him agreed on that stance). |
| 232 | * She tried to take over Christmas, interfering with the nice/naughty list and hoping to put everyone on the naughty list out of spite. [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor The Delightful Children From Down The Lane]] tried pulling a similar stunt, which led to her claiming they ripped her off. The consequence was that Santa Claus put her on the permanent naughty list, and she was upset to learn he was in the pantheon. |
| 233 | * She once managed to make crime legal. This backfired as it meant the Powerpuff Girls could steal from her to teach her a lesson. The House of Crime is interested in this and wondering if they can try to make crime legal again. The House of Justice is keeping an eye on her for it, [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney but she has the cash for them to look away]]. |
| 234 | * It should be noted that [[Creator/JenniferHale her voice]] is similar to [[Pantheon/SpiritualAndMentalPowers Phoenix]], [[Pantheon/MannersOfRevival Hawkgirl]], [[Pantheon/GenderSexMiscellaneous Samus]] [[Pantheon/CharacterReveals Aran]], and [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} the female Commander Shepard]]. They consider sharing a voice with Princess Morbucks to be embarrassing. |
| 235 | * Once tried to steal [[Pantheon/OutlooksOnJob Larfleeze's]] orange ring, but [[CurbStompBattle this went as well as you'd expect]]. Larfleeze was impressed by her greed, however. She'd later try and take [[Pantheon/PeopleOfFaith Saint Walker's]] blue ring, failing to understand that hope is not something you can take or use selfishly. |
| 236 | * Hates Charlotte due to the fact that they have similar themes (princess dreams, love of their dads, lots of money) but it's how they are viewed in this regard: Charlotte is willing to be there for her friend's success and wishes for them to be happy, while Morbucks cares mostly for herself... |
| 237 | * Likes to show off how much money she(or rather, her dad) has. She boasted to be richer than [[Pantheon/{{Politicians}} Tywin Lannister]] and [[Pantheon/DraconicBeings Smaug]] combined. Neither buy this, though they do recognize she's rich. They also don't respect her either, particularly Tywin as her [[SpoiledBrat personality]] reminds him of [[TheCaligula his insane grandson]]. |

| 250 | * Samantha "Sam" Manson is a vegan gothic rebel who is close friends with Danny Fenton and Tucker Foley, aiding in fighting off ghosts that haunt Amity Park. What most people don't know is that she's freaking rich -- turns out she had an ancestor who invented the machine that places cellophane on sandwich toothpicks -- but she hides it because she doesn't want her wealth to change how people perceive her. She never told anyone about this initially, as she was already wandering the Pantheon before her ascension, sneaking in some time with Danny, and communicating with the various denizens, be they deity or follower. And then one day, during a chat with Tomoko Nozama prior to the Kamen Rider Club uniting in the House of School, the Kamen Rider Club member was surprised to discover that Sam comes from a rich family but never told anyone about this. Realizing there wasn't any representative for it yet, Tomoko petitioned to ascend Sam to the Pantheon, much to Danny's joy. |
| 251 | * After Team Phantom's run-in with the likes of Freakshow, Sam's very wary of Reality Warpers, which Freakshow had become with an artifact called the Reality Gauntlet. This is one particular trait she and Jimmy Neutron have in common. |
| 252 | ** And because of how similar it is, she's cautious in regards to the [[Pantheon/MaximumSecurity Infinity Gauntlet and its Gems]]. |
| 253 | * [[{{Expy}} Being the inspiration for]] Pariah Dark, one of Danny's greatest enemies, she doesn't really like Darkseid. But then again, who doesn't who isn't ([[EvenEvilHasStandards as]]) evil? |
| 254 | * Nearly heard [[Creator/GreyDelisle her own voice]] in the following deities: Azula, Mandy, Jeanne, [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries Catwoman]], [[Pantheon/HardwareAndSoftware Nova Terra]], [[Pantheon/{{Underclothes}} Black Canary]]. |
| 255 | ** Sokka and Katara thought they heard a voice like their mother's. Turns out it was just Sam. |
| 256 | ** Her run-in with Clifford was a bit awkward, given that he thought he heard the voice of his owner Emily. But they managed to get along just fine. |
| 257 | * She would've felt uneasy around hearing [[Creator/TaraStrong a certain voice]] as one of Danny's RoguesGallery Ember [=McLain=] shares it (like [[Pantheon/AnalysisAndRecords Twilight Sparkle]], [[Pantheon/{{Offsprings}} Melody]], [[Pantheon/{{Emotion}} Raven]], [[Pantheon/{{Language}} Juliet Starling]], [[Pantheon/{{Armies}} Wonder-Pink]], and [[Pantheon/BodyImages Bubbles of the Powerpuff Girls]]), but working with Timmy Turner once before—who bears a similar voice—alleviated much of that. |
| 258 | ** Speaking of Ember, this also got her on the bad side of those who use songs for evil purposes, like The Dazzlings. |
| 259 | * While she may be an environmentalist, seeing Poison Ivy reminds her too much of her possession by Undergrowth, a violent spirit of nature. |
| 260 | * Alongside Tomoko, Sam has found a friend in fellow Goth Girl, Lydia Deetz. The three are working on becoming a "Goth Girl Group" and are hoping to find other Goths to hang out. |

| 290 | * Top in the hierarchies of CyberPunk settings are of course the rich, far removed from the lower class and spearheading their dirty work are the authoritarian powers. Glitch City is no different: The gap between the rich and those poorer than them could not be anymore visible if you shone a searchlight on it, and in addition to the nanomachines inside people keeping everyone in line there's the White Knights and their stranglehold on the city. While generally these two groups are generally as awful as you'd expect them to be there are some good people amidst the bunch. There's Stella Hoshii and Sei P. Asagiri belonging to the two respective aforementioned groups, and they happen to be close friends with one another. The two came to meet one another when Stella asked her parents to a "real kids park" and it just so happened to be the same park Sei frequented. It wouldn't be the last time they'd meet as they'd become friends from then on. Though it would be the last time Stella brings a fancy dress after predictably getting all muddy. |
| 291 | * The two were quite overwhelmed when they ascended to the Pantheon to say the least. It not only came out of nowhere but the process for their ascension ended up being completed very quickly without either of the duo getting such much as a syllable in. Essentially just dumped into a strange new world their first outing in the end had them pointed towards a familiar sight: The bar of Valhalla where Jill worked at. They are regulars after all, and it was sort of an apology for the way things were processed earlier that day. Dorothy, Jill and her Heralds Dana and Gillian made sure sure to welcome Sei and Stella in open arms. |
| 292 | * They both share a close relationship with one another, which may or may not be something more as some people have thought to themselves when seeing them both. In middle school they both won the award for "Best Couple" three years in a row, and that's not accounting for the fact that they never even went the same middle school to begin with. According to [[WordOfGod Sukeban Games]], two of Stella's fetishes include success and "Buff [Redacted]". And Sei's everyday clothing highlights how jacked she actually is without any armor in the way. Even conceptually they were to be paired together because: "They look cute together, let’s make them besties!". In a certain {{Crossover}} (more on that later) their regular art has them possessing charms of each other's likeness and their alternate costumes is them literally wearing each other's default clothing. |
| 293 | * One day when they were both young the two were taken hostage by a White Knight. Under a lot of pressure from being cornered, the rogue officer proceeded to [[EyeScream gouge Stella's right eye out]]. Sei tried to stop him but she ended up getting brutally beat up in her attempted efforts. They were saved by another White Knight, taking down his superior, and he rushed the two kids into the hospital. Suffice to say, neither of them are at all fond of the various {{Dirty Cop}}s running around in the Pantheon. And that's not taking account of the Apollo Trust Bank incident where Sei was sent in by her superiors to be a pawn. Or when in the aftermath of said incident the true extent of their corruption would be exposed and they would try and pull a takeover only to be halted by [[MegaCorp Zaibatsu Corp]] flipping the kill switch on their armor while other authorities and lynch mobs dealt with them personally. |
| 294 | --> '''Jill:''' Just what transpired in that bank? |
| 295 | --> '''Sei:''' It's not important anymore. |
| 296 | * Mae Boroski, being reminded of her own friendship with [[PositiveFriendInfluence Beatrice Santello]], became good buds with the two after meeting them one day . With that said she doesn't have any intention of accompanying them to their trips to VA-11 Hall-A. She gets wasted [[CantHoldHisLiquor way too easily by drinking]]. Sei says that she and Stella aren't much of drinkers anyway (Stella herself saying she's a social drinker) and that Jill is able to serve soft drinks, but Mae doesn't want to take any chances. [[CallBack Running around in the Pantheon naked can instill that kind of caution to you]]. |
| 297 | * In an AlternateUniverse, [[VideoGame/GirlsFrontline Griffin and Kryuger]] would take a short visit to Glitch City. Sei and Stella would arrange a meeting with some of the T-Dolls not for business but moreso a meet for fans of [[IdolSinger *Kira* Miki]]. Thunder, along with the rest of her band members, are such fans themselves having played a cover of one of the Lilim idol's songs. In the Pantheon they have since continued the meet-ups with Thunder along with her teammates even if none of them have ascended. As for the other dolls like Contender and G36 she frequently hires them as help. |
| 298 | ** There also exists yet another AlternateUniverse involving G&K's T-Dolls. It's the one that takes place in Griffon City where Sei is the TokenHuman of the White Knights and good friends with [[SergeantRock Jericho]]. This is despite the fact that Jericho has already passed away in the main universe and this should be the same in the first alternate universe considering how similar that one is to the main one. It's also the one where Stella is able to hijack machinery thanks to her affinity with the Parapluie Virus and is able to participate in combat with miniature puppet versions of herself. [[spoiler:This universe is a fake, fabricated from the drunken thoughts of a lightweight T-Doll coming into contact with a cloud of nanomachines. In danger of being annihilated should said doll awaken, the pair along with other inhabitants managed to escape by having themselves be put into T-Doll replicas of themselves]]. When this tidbit of information was relayed to them, they thought it was joke that some of the T-Dolls roped their friends into. It was not. |
| 299 | --> (Jill and Dorothy averted their eyes while Dana trailed off into a nervous laugh.) |
| 300 | --> '''Stella:''' ... Seriously? |
| 301 | --> '''Gillian:''' Hard to believe myself, really. Jill and Boss gave that same exact reaction when I asked. |
| 302 | --> '''Sei:''' How do I... take this in, exactly? |
| 303 | * Sei only: |
| 304 | ** A kind young woman and overtly a good person who simply wants to help people, something that is not that common of a sight her time. Especially so since she was apart of an entire organization who's mostly filled with {{Corrupt Cop}}s, highlighting her altruism even more. She wasn't always like this, however. When Sei was younger she was a bitter youth due to an upbringing surrounding both her drug-addicted alcoholic father and teacher's impatience with her learning disability. It wasn't until later that she would clean up her act and grow up to the polite Sei people would know today, possibly from remembering the kindness by the White Knight who saved her and Stella's life from his superior. |
| 305 | ** Though she is very nice and a bit slow, she is not by any means soft or dumb. Sei is not only knowledgeable in Krav Maga but is also tanky enough that a 2 centimeter cut isn't enough to hinder her and actually taken down a haywire robot down on her own. It's been stated by Stella that when things are framed in a familiar way to her she learns pretty fast. Sei also shows an ability to be [[HyperAwareness perceptive]], being able to list off many of Dorothy's mods she has installed on herself, one of which including one on the Lilim's own tongue. In addition, while she has forgotten her helmet many a time back when she was a White Knight she is able to reference and recite very specific laws and clauses verbatim. |
| 306 | ** After with the affair at the bank she now works as Stella's bodyguard, essentially getting paid to be by her side which she does so anyways with the time they usually spend together. While Sei doesn't have a desire to go into the police she does want to expand in her current job, little by little, and it hasn't stopped her from becoming allies with those who are involved with them like Cole Phelps and Big Band. The latter has sympathized with Sei when it came to her just being used as disposable pawn in the bank affair as Big Band himself ended up the way he is today when he found out the hard way [[DirtyCop not everyone shared his moral compass]]. |
| 307 | --> '''Sei:''' 'When the word of law falls, pick it up and hold it higher!' Heh. I like the sound of that, actually. |
| 308 | ** While running to meet with Stella she managed to bump into a group consisting of Akihiko, Chie, and Makoto. What began as a quick chat while waiting for the bus after Akihiko pointed Sei shares a couple similarities with his fellow SEES[=/=]Shadow Operative, Fuuka Yamagishi, it quickly shifted into a more lengthy conversation, one that Sei would soon have with the three more often during her rounds in the Pantheon. Perhaps it should be owed to the three Persona-users' desire to get into law enforcement themselves. Only Makoto took longer to be amicable with Sei considering she heard the ex-Valkyrie didn't want to look too deep into her co-workers dirty history though came around when she realized Sei really did take her job as a rescue worker [[ByTheBookCop to heart]]. It's what [[KarmicJackpot saved her life even]]. That, and the Phantom Thief thought that her superiors throwing Sei under the bus as a sacrificial pawn was despicable. |
| 309 | ** Given what she went through in school, Sei holds Agatha Trunchbull and Baldi with a special kind of contempt. Given what [[NiceGirl kind of person Sei is]], that says a lot. This kind of feeling also extends to the Child Abuse Supporters as well. Although, given the kind of people they are it shouldn't be all that surprising they'd bring about that side of Sei, the one who beat her father to near death multiple times. |
| 310 | ** Though Sei isn't one to hide the fact she has a learning disability she was also against being labelled as "special" or "different". It was why she chose to be a dropout as opposed to taking a special course in some other school: The notion would of just offended her. As stated above, however, it does little in overshadowing Sei's various strengths. %% Through she ended up earning the respect of Leonardo da Vinci and Jeanne d'Arc for this reason given the former's having dyslexia while the latter's illiteracy and lack of proper education in her life. |
| 311 | ** Though she doesn't give off the impression of being a musical type she likes singing and hearing people sing. In general it lifts her spirits although she's been told her singing voice isn't very good. Atrocious, in fact. Sei's good at the harmonica, though. She would of gone with playing a tuba but it's not easy to carry around with. |
| 312 | ** ''"This world has an ugly side nobody deserves to be a part of."'' |
| 313 | * Stella only: |
| 314 | ** Before she was even born her doctors diagnosed her with Nanomachine Rejection and thus to survive her parents put her through the procedure to become a Cat Boomer. While Stella would grow up a bit weak she would ultimately be alive in the end and in the hands of a caring family. Though she can act like a haughty aristocrat and fully admits to putting on a "business mask" when dealing with unpleasant high-class people on a daily basis, Stella is much like Sei in that she's a kind person as well as much as she acts tough on the surface. Aside from that she has a bit of a dorkish side too. Two examples of this include her knowledge of {{Henshin|Hero}} and her die-hard love for [[IdolSinger *Kira* Miki]]. |
| 315 | ** In a nutshell she's essentially a genetically engineered {{Catgirl}} though for her she's part of the few who became so out of necessity. Story is word of its success on its first subject (not her) came around it quickly became a dumb trend as parents rushed have their kids get cat ears as well. It's where the term 'Cat Boomer' originally came from but overtime it shifted towards their offspring instead. Connotation, ladies and gentlemen. Oh and those "ears" don't actually serve a purpose, by the by, as even though they twitch and react much like the real deal she can't actually hear with them. |
| 316 | ** Though the Pantheon has its fare share of bad people of different flavors across the different realities that doesn't quite overshadow the amount of good people living there too. And she's genuinely thankful to be given the pleasure to be allowed to meet with the latter, even if she may not outwardly show it. During the times where she and Sei were starting out Stella was out making appointments with various people to establish connections for herself and in doing so managed to meet with Mitsuru Kirijo and Haru Okumura. While expecting the two to be pricks like some of the people she has had the displeasure of doing business with Stella was surprised to find that they are very nice and in continued meetings with them. Part of her can't help but envy the two for their strengths given that she had to basically rely on Sei throughout much of her life. Still, they're certainly more pleasant company than say the Reagan siblings or Morris whom she outright calls them pricks on multiple occasions. |
| 317 | ** Due to the incident involving her being attacked by a corrupt White Knight Stella [[BerserkButton reacts poorly]] if people she doesn't know make any comments or draw attention to her cybernetic eye. When she's particularly on edge anything that may seem to make note of it draws a similar reaction though she's able to recognize this and relent. She would like to make it clear that she has since moved on from the incident and it's just that any attention drawn to said eye hurts a little. |
| 318 | ** Apparently, Stella's chest is a lot larger than they look and is [[DCupDistress quite self-conscious about them]]. The only reason she doesn't up and change it is [[BigBreastPride because in that regard she takes after her mother]]. As such, she takes great measures to hide them and for this reason also styles her hair into large twintails as a distraction. |
| 319 | ** Her birthday is on the 25th of December, in other words [[YouMeanXMas Mega Christmas Day]]. When she was younger she somehow got the idea she was a spiritual reincarnation of the original Santa Claus and it caused her to be very generous in gift giving. She got over it, of course, but she still gives loads of toys to kids every Mega Christmas. Due to this generosity she is often nicknamed "Auntie Ella" by said kids, something that sort of rubs [[MaamShock her the wrong way]] as people just refer to Sei by her regular name. Old Saint Nick himself found that whole tidbit about the Cat Boomer quite amusing much to Stella's utter embarrassment though he was quick to make an addendum on how what she does during those days is quite admirable and that secret about her being a reincarnation is safe with himself. |
| 320 | *** If you're wondering: Yes, this trend of giving gifts in Mega Christmas parties she hosts continues in the Pantheon. The Pantheon may not celebrate the bastardized version of the holiday from her world, but Stella doesn't mind. She's always really happy in these times of the year, not just Christmas. Any holiday is worth throwing a party over. Often, Stella finds herself assisted by Pinkie Pie for this very reason and the Cat Boomer finds her quite a valuable partner through all this. |
| 321 | ** Perhaps as a result of growing up weak she gets sick from flying car rides in her world. This, of course, would mean Stella goes out of her way avoiding taking a rides in the air... along with avoiding people who DrivesLikeCrazy like with the West Coast Cabbies. |
| 322 | ** ''"Being a nice person will take you far, though. My daddy always insisted that 'being ruthless in the boardroom doesn't mean being an ass.'"'' |

| 343 | * No one was really hoping for Bob Ewell to ascend. Ewell, while mortal, framed an innocent man, Tom Robinson, for a crime Ewell himself likely committed and only won because Tom was an African American in the post-Civil War South, when racism was high. But Atticus Finch, who was the lawyer for Tom, humiliated him so thoroughly that Ewell attempted to kill his children, resulting in his death from Boo Radley. Unfortunately for Atticus as well as everyone else, all other options for LowerClassLout were exhausted and so Ewell was ascended. He is the quintessential LowerClassLout; a redneck who wastes his welfare on booze, is stupid and unkempt and lives impoverished. He lives in the city dump and has no self-awareness of the fact. |
| 344 | * Ewell still HATES Atticus, as you might expect, and often yells at him whenever they cross paths. Atticus does his best to ignore Ewell, but he often has to remind him that he was only doing his job. Eventually, Ewell was given a restraining order and told that he would be arrested if he approached Atticus or his children again. Ewell ignored the order and tried to hit Atticus, leading to him spending a month in jail. However, Ewell seems to be too stupid to have learned his lesson, and so a supervisor has been hired to keep an eye on him. |
| 345 | * The first thing Ewell did when he ascended was make a racist remark to Storm and Black Panther. That was a mistake. Not only were these two actually willing to fight back, they did, [[DirtyCoward and it wasn't something he was prepared for or wanted]]. Ewell was told not to approach their temples again once he’d gotten out of the hospital. Along with his bigotry he has a deep distrust of black people following the whole trial. He makes an exception for Stephen as he likes the cut of his jib, [[BoomerangBigot though that's because he's just as racist as Bob]]. Calvin J Candie bonded over their racism and many noticed Calvin's UpperClassTwit personality complimented Bob's LowerClassLout personality. |
| 346 | * Ewell is hated by the entire House of Law and Justice for framing Tom and winning his trial. It doesn’t help that Tom was killed in police custody while trying to escape, thus denying a retrial, which would have likely resulted in him being found innocent. The trial itself is how he became Malty's high priest, [[FalseRapeAccusation particularly due to the type of accusation he casted out.]] Of course, his actions against Tom are exactly what got him in Naofumi's shit list, as they reminded him of how he himself was set up by the corrupt princess. |
| 347 | * The FalseRapeAccusation is damning since not only does it mean that if there's proof of later abuse towards his daughter there's no way he can't hide it, but that there's some evidence [[VillainousIncest he's guilty of the same crime he accused Tom of]]. Outside of that he's physically abusive and forces her to do most of the work looking after his younger kids. Because their horrid ideology of child-rearing enables him (at least that's how he sees it) he's pro-the Child Abuse Supporters and a figure of disgust among the Heroic Protectors of Family. B.J Blazkowicz recognizes Bob Ewell as ''exactly'' like his horrific excuse of a father; a bigoted smug sociopath [[HateSink impossible to like]]. Worse, the wretched redneck wants Rip Blazkowicz to ascend as he feels they would be good friends. He had tried to get along with Peter Griffin first, but as much as he falls into ComedicSociopathy [[{{Flanderization}} these days]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards he felt uncomfortable hanging out with Bob Ewel]]. |
| 348 | * He's considered to be the pinnacle of everything wrong with the DeepSouth back in the days of Jim Crow, and only got away with his crimes ([[AssholeVictim until he incurred the wrath of Boo Radley]]) by exploiting a deeply racist system. Because of this Bob Ewell rarely leaves his temple as he can't just sabre-rattle in the mostly modern day Trope Pantheon and [[DirtyCoward he's a coward at heart]] who strikes at the dark. Hank Hill has sworn to kick his ass if he ever sees him for being a disgrace to American values and [[AbusiveParents an abysmal father]]. One of the few deities who actually likes Ewell is Eric Cartman, though this is just due to how much of a racist [[HateSink little shit]] he is. Naturally Kyle takes umbridge against Bob Ewell for basically being an adult Cartman. |
| 349 | * If not in his hovel of a temple, he's hunting around the Pantheon to feed himself- only himself, as his daughter Mayella did not ascend with him. You might think this would please some of the hunters in the Pantheon, but it didn’t; they hate how it’s clearly poaching. He's not outright banned from the House of Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna, but they clearly don't like him either for said poaching. Him and Dag have come to like working with each other in order to steal from farms and poach for themselves. He tried to get the Texan Sandy for squirrel meat, but despite being much bigger than her she was still strong enough to kick his ass. |
| 350 | * You'd think that Bob would at least get along with Col. Benjamin Button, and the LowerClassLout undoubtedly respects him as a some sort of patriot. And yet [[EvenEvilHasStandards even the Klansman doesn't want to hang out with him]]. It's not like Benjamin is any less racist than Bob Ewell, however. Rather for his many flaws Cameron Button [[EvilVirtues still holds intelligence, nobility and valor]]. There is [[HateSink literally]] ''[[CompleteMonster nothing]]'' admirable about Bob Ewell whatsoever, to the point the Little Colonel is embarrassed to be around him. Despite respecting him for his role in the KKK, Moon Man actually came to Bob's defense by saying that they need as many people to oppose the African-American continuity as possible. It should be noted that Button's dislike of Ewell hasn't endeared him any more to anyone, [[VillainByDefault but that's inevitable]]. |
| 351 | * One of the few times the Dukes of Hazzard and Roscoe P. Coltrane are willing to work together is to shoo out Bob Ewell. While Bob is seen as everything wrong with the DeepSouth, the Dukes of Hazzard [[{{Foil}} are seen as what's good and cool about it]]. This enmity isn't helped by Ewell creepily leering at [[MsFanservice Daisy]] either. The corrupt redneck drunkenly boasts he's a better choice for the DeepSouth trope anyway, citing he's named after Robert E. Lee, but they just countered by pointing [[IronicName the only thing they share are a name and being southern]]-Lee was a Southern patrician and clever strategist [[WorthyOpponent even his enemies respected]], [[EveryoneHasStandards and as racist as he was Bob Ewell would've made him cringe]]. |
| 352 | * Has somewhat of a "crush" on Scarlett O'Hare for being "a beautiful Southern belle", [[AbhorrentAdmirer which disgusts her]]. [[HateSink Besides his dirty personality]], [[ThePigPen Bob is literally dirty]] and people are reluctant to shake his hand. Because of how dirty he is Thrax considers him [[AssholeVictim a perfect target for infection]] and wants to take him down in a mere 36 hours. Naturally, the LowerClassLout fears the Red Death, and fears the idea of Nurgle ever getting his attention because of how filthy he is. [[SmallNameBigEgo Of course, only he thinks a Chaos God would give a shit about him]]. He's also scared of the Keep-Fit Killer taking him out while he's out foraging or looking for wild game. |
| 353 | * He hated learning that a generation after his death, [[UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy a U.S President would be elected that made fighting for civil rights a major part of his administration]]. Being the {{Jerkass}} he is Bob Ewell wants to congratulate [[WhoShotJFK whoever assassinated him]]. He doesn't care for Abraham Lincoln either for enfranchising African-Americans, even if he couldn't care that much about the slavery issue. The two choose to ignore him rather than give him a lick of their attention, though they're disgusted by the guy just as much as his enemies. |
| 354 | * The Phantom Thieves of Heart are naturally revolted by him for his extremely unpleasant personality and actions, however Ren has personal enmity due to being framed for assault by a CorruptPolitician covering his own ass [[EvilIsPetty and being mildly injured]]. The only reason they don't try to change his heart is because Bob Ewell is an irrelevant nobody who merely takes advantage of corruption in society and is not actually a contributing factor. Having loved reading ''To Kill A Mockinbird'', Superman and Dominic Hargen agree with them Ewell's revolting. |
| 355 | * While not so much falsely accused, Hec suffered several misunderstandings got him a reputation as a pedophile kidnapper towards his adopted nephew and it took him being detained after a long wild chase for his name to be cleared. Naturally, he wants to punch Bob's face in for condemned an innocent man under false accusations of being a predator. Sethe, having actually been raped and traumatized by it, hates what Bob Ewell did. He was disgusted by her MercyKill of her infant child before the Civil War ended, but given what an awful and uncaring father he is it seems more like trying to look good on his end. |
| 356 | * One of his only friends is Mr Rottweiler; an unrepentant, slobbish, grouchy and immoral jerk after Ewell's own [[TheSociopath empty space where his heart should be]].

| 380 | ** Jack: [[Pantheon/CausesOfSadness Jay Gatsby]] |
| 381 | * Ascend together after [[spoiler:Cal's suicide and Jack's death by freezing]]. No, they aren't happy about their situation of having to share a temple with each other. The two of them tried to stay away from each other and at least civilized when the two of them have to meet, but one can easily ignite a fight by just mentioning the Heart of the Ocean jewel. This did ''not'' get better when they heard about Rose's ascension. |
| 382 | ** The only thing that they can barely agree on is their share hatred of icebergs. And to forbid anyone to call them [[FollowTheLeader Don Juan, William, Gaston]] or [[ArtisticLicenseHistory mentioning the two of them with talking animals]]. Plus how they hate Calvin Candie because he once [[Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio impersonated]] Jack to kidnap Rose to be his bride (Jack is obviously not pleased, but Cal declares that only he can take revenge on Rose and decided to team up with Jack to rescue her). |
| 383 | * When heard about Rose's ascension, Jack immediately ran to her temple to reunite with her with a kiss. Cal, on the other hand, immediately throws a tantrum about how she cheated on him and he will make her pay for dropping the diamond into the sea. |
| 384 | * Jack and Rose hate Gaston's guts for his douchy treatment of Belle and the Beast. This endears them to Belle and the Beast, who relates to his experience of loving from different social status. Cal, on the other hand, gets along very well with Gaston for their share hatred of Jack and the fact that they both feel their "love" chose someone that is lesser than them. |
| 385 | * WebVideo/JonTron frequent pokes fun at Jack and holds him responsible for the Titanic sinking due to his portrayal in the bootleg video games the former played. |
| 386 | * Jack has many allies who had to compete romantically with someone who has a much higher social status than them. A few of the notable ones are Tiana and Mary Jane Watson. The women got along with him really well because they think he is a romantic. |
| 387 | * Jake makes a point to declare himself to be [[SignatureScene the king of the world]] whenever he travels on another boat. |
| 388 | * With his ascension to the Pantheon, Jack can be usually seen drifting throughout the Pantheon as a freelance artists for hire. Sometimes he can be seen with Rose. People know not to disturb the two of them whenever they are saying they are drawing like the French. |
| 389 | * Made quick friends with Aladdin for their drifting lifestyle and being in a relationship with a woman of a higher status than them. Although Jack disapproves of Aladdin lying to Jasmine about being Prince Ali. |
| 390 | ** Cal, on the other hand, had a bad relationship with Aladdin due to the fact that he disapproves of Aladdin having simply wished his wealth into existence. |
| 391 | * Shinichi Kudo is a strong supporter of Jack's relationship with Rose because they remind him of his friend from the police force Sato and Takagi. |
| 392 | * Charlotte [=LaBouff=] is a big fan of Jack and Rose's relationship because she thinks their story is romantic and Jack's friendship with Tiana, while she dislikes Cal for how poorly he treats Rose. |
| 393 | * Jack was in a surprise of a lifetime when seeing how he looks [[Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio similar]] to Jay Gatsby. The two keep a hostile relationship with each other because Jack dislikes how obsessive the latter was with Daisy. |
| 394 | * From Rose's meeting with her sister Jo, Jack met a kindred spirit in Amy March who is also an artist. |
| 395 | * Jack and Rose got along well with Romeo and Juliet due to the tragic nature of their romance. The four of them congratulated each other on that they have now reunited with the one they love. The fact that [[Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio Romeo and Jack]] [[Film/WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet look the same]] also helps. |
| 396 | * Cal and the Phantom don't get along because the two of them once [[Creator/BillyZane mistook one for the other]] and have different philosophy on love. |

| 412 | * Enemies: Asides from [[Pantheon/{{Villainy}} Majin Buu]], [[Pantheon/{{Teachers}} Agitha Trunchbull]] and [[Pantheon/ScientistsAndGeniuses Plankton]], he's not in any position to have actual enemies |
| 413 | * Opposes: [[RichBitch Rich jerks]] like Princess Morbucks and Eliza and Neil Reagan, [[Pantheon/ComedyGenres Eric Cartman]] |
| 414 | * Charlie Bucket was part of a family in relative poverty, leading him to value simpler joys in life like getting a Wonka's Chocolate Bar one in a while. Through pure luck, he would be one of five kids to get the Golden Ticket, allowing him to enter Willy Wonka's factory. Through a test of character he proved to be the best suited for becoming the future heir of Willy Wonka, and inheriting his fortune. |
| 415 | * Unlike the others kids [[EmbodimentOfVice who represented flaws in character]], he proved himself pure of heart and overall a NiceGuy. That's not to say he's completely immune to temptation, as he does have some envy and once took the Fizzy Lift Drinks. This almost got him killed by a turbine, but he did admit his mistake and won Wonka's SecretTestOfCharacter. |
| 416 | |
| 417 | * He isn't someone to have any real enemies due to his kind nature, though there are some gods that such a {{Jerkass}} he can't help but dislike them. Usually it's [[RichBitch rich jerks]] like Princess Morbucks and the Reagan twins. Their incredibly spoiled personality and elitism hates the idea of him becoming the heir to Willy Wonka [[ItsAllAboutMe rather than them]]. He doesn't like Eric Cartman either due to how much of an asshole he can be, not helped by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ieeL9FWURM using his song]] in the context of exploiting Tourette's to be as offensive as possible. |
| 418 | * Wonka is glad to see that Charlie managed to ascend, and has introduced him to the House of Pantheon/{{Food}} to help out. Those in the pantheon with a SweetTooth were glad, particularly Stocking Anarchy and Mello who are regular customers to Wonka's shops. Being the candy elemental, he's felt it best to get along with Princess Bubblegum. |
| 419 | * Terrified and disgusted with Majin Buu. While this isn't surprising given [[OmnicidalManiac what Buu is]], the monster's habit of turning people into candy before eating them is an utter perversion of sweets and a sick joke. He's a lot more comfortable with [[Pantheon/PowerMentalities the Fat Buu]], though too scared to make a proper alliance. |
| 420 | * Though too terrified to face Buu, Plankton is another story. In his schemes to drive Mr Krabs out of business, he decided to steal the formula for never-ending gobstoppers for this purpose. It went even more disastrously than his usual ventures, even getting gored in the spinning fans([[IronButtmonkey though he managed to survive]]). While an enemy due to trying to steal Wonka's secrets, the two [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain pity his attempts]]. |
| 421 | * Gets along with James Henry Trotter. [[Creator/RoaldDahl This comes partly from their shared authors]], however they like how the other rose from a timid squalor to fame. This shared origin leads them to both dislike the cruel nature of Agatha Trunchball. |
| 422 | * Because of his relationship with Wonka, Charlie gets along with the Doctor. Both Willy Wonka and the Doctor are eccentric, almost magical men with a penchant for English sweets and who's moral stance is up for debate, though usually agreed to be good at heart. Sometimes he offers Charlie a jelly baby. |
| 423 | * Though disliking rich jerks, he does seem to appreciate good-hearted rich folk like Charlotte [=LaBouff=] and Riche Rich for their kind nature. And while [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold not that nice a guy]], Scrooge [=McDuck=] respects his kind nature paired with the candy business while he respects Scrooge's hard-working ethics. He is trying to help out Akihisa Yoshii get out of his PerpetualPoverty. |

| 443 | * "OH MY GOD, THIS IS THE GREATEST PANTHEON I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!" |
| 444 | * The three Managers of Commerce may rule over their domain in the House of Commerce, but far below their skyscrapers lay a destitute man who nevertheless holds a crucial role in the house for many in the Pantheon. The self-proclaimed bum of the homeless has laid domain over those suffering under poverty ever since the Pantheon was first created. Many of the well-off in the Pantheon may scoff at the man for leading a bunch of ;'moochers' and 'welfere queens', but anyone who has suffered from a lack of money are sure to seek Chester A. Bum for guidance, whether it's to get out of poverty or live through it. |
| 445 | * Chester can often be found sitting just outside the House of Commerce, living in a box and loudly demanding change of all passersby. Mr. Burns has grown tired of Chester's presence and would love nothing more than to evict him. Captain America and the rest of the House of Justice are also frequently at odds with Chester for his frequent possession of controlled substances, but Chester is often able to evade them. |
| 446 | * For a time, people thought that Mr. Burns had finally succeeded in getting rid of the man. He convinced the other managers to require all deities in the House of Commerce to own a building up to code with housing guidelines. This was actually a thinly-disguised way to evict the bum from the area entirely. With no house to call a home, Chester walked up and left the Pantheon. It was Nostalgic Critic who walked over to Leslie Knope to inform her what happened. When an attempt to overturn the law failed, she turned to the deities themselves to help build a house for Chester A. Bum. Mr. Burns hired several hazards their way. But the sheer mass of heroes, poverty-stricken deities and even rich patrons such as Richie Rich and Charlotte [=LeBouff=] was enough to overcome the challenges to build a brand new temple. Sure enough, Chester appeared with tears in his eyes for all those who built his temple. Of course, he hardly uses the temple himself, but lends it to his followers as well as those who need a place to stay at night. |
| 447 | * He and the Nostalgia Critic are long time friends. However, after an ill-fated search for the Necronomicon and a legal confrontation over the Critic's Transformers reviews, their relationship seems to be getting strained. |
| 448 | ** Recently, Chester and the Critic have begun to repair their relationship, with the Critic taking Chester in as a sort of secretary and intern as well as giving him a paycheck. |
| 449 | * Besides Mr. Burns, he is also a favorite target of Alex Delarge, a boy who has an infamous disdain for the poor. The God of Soundtrack Dissonance and his drooges gleefully seek him out for the chance of beating Chester to a pulp. |
| 450 | * A beating pales in comparison to what Patrick Bateman promised he would do to the Bum if he ever gets his hands on him. The Pretentious One firmly puts the blame on Chester's poverty to themselves and believes ridding the poor himself would do the city a favor. The fact that Chester managed to return only intensified his search. Chester himself wasn't to thrilled at Bateman for stabbing a homeless man in [[Film/AmericanPsycho his film]]. |
| 451 | * Has been the subject of multiple attempts of his life by Light Yagami. As someone who wants to KillThePoor in order to improve society in his eyes, he has tried to find his true name. Yet thanks to the dubious nature of [[Creator/DougWalker his origins]], the Death Note does not work of Chester A. Bum. Instead, the Light has turn to targeting his followers, condemning them to gruesome deaths at his hands. |
| 452 | * Is still unsure whether Stephen Colbert is an act or he truly wonders why poverty hasn't been illegal yet. For now, Chester keeps at body's length from the God of [[StrawmanPolitical Truthiness]]. Rooting for the 'overdogs' over at the House of Commerce certainly doesn't help. |
| 453 | * The many attempts on his life have been thwarted by the efforts of the enigma V. Much like [[YouCannotKillAnIdea his ability to outlast his own death]], so too does he make sure that the poor will never be without a patron to watch over them. With that said, he won't try to defend his atrocious [[Film/VForVendetta film]]. |
| 454 | * Unlike the Nostalgia Critic, Chester has the chance to tackle movies that are actually genuinely good. He gave props to Batman and the Avengers for doing a wonderful job in their [[Film/TheDarkKnight respective]] [[Film/TheAvengers2012 movies]]. Regardless, he refrains from making comparisons over which comic has the better movies, merely hoping to support the ones that are great. |
| 455 | * Likewise, he felt a connection with Wreck-It-Ralph, citing how the two of them can descend to self-loathing at times. Certain parts of the movie even [[TearJerker brought him to tears]]. As such, he makes time to visit Ralph when he can. |
| 456 | * His review of Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey surprised many people, showing his proficiency for BDSM. Chester later confirmed that he does a little hooker work on the side and [[AmbiguouslyBi doesn't care which gender pays him for the job]]. He was later confronted by newer deities Lisa and Ally, the Goddesses of BDSM. They wanted to invite him to their lair in order to teach them some new techniques. After a brief conversation, the two allowed him to use one of their dungeons free of charge for services. |
| 457 | * Namor spent a significant part of his life as an amnesiac homeless man. Johnny Storm may have helped restore his memories, but Chester has claimed to play a part in keeping the man alive for as long as he had. As such, Chester is one of the few humans he actually respects. |
| 458 | * When Kevin [=McCallister=] was [[Film/HomeAlone2LostInNewYork was stuck in New York City]], he received help from an old homeless bird lady. It turns out that Chester rewarded an act of kindness towards the woman by saving him from his pursuers. |
| 459 | * Speaking of bird ladies, he enjoyed the song Mary Poppins created in honor of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHrRxQVUFN4 very women who feeds birds]], a significant part of his followers. It's also a surefire way to annoy bankers just as Michael did when he was young. |
| 460 | * Chester makes sure to send a cup of gravy every week to Adrian Monk as a token of thanks for solving the murder case of one of his own. Of course, Monk takes care to do his best to decontaminate the content every time. The detective is at least thankful that Chester doesn't seek to meet him face-to-face. |
| 461 | * It was no surprise that the bum loved A Christmas Carol. After all, the story converted one of the biggest opponents of the pool into a man who is far more generous with his money. That and he genuinely thought it was a good story (even if it didn't have Scrooge [=McDuck=]). Scrooge invites Chester to his house in order to give him a warm place to star every Christmas Eve. |
| 462 | * Of course, not everyone has taken a liking of his reviews, especially those whom he gave a less favorable review to: |
| 463 | ** The emerging Film/{{Avatar}} deities did not like how he used a familiar criticism of their movie as being unoriginal. In the wake of their long-awaited sequel, the three have shunned him from checking any new information on that movie. |
| 464 | ** Charles Kane was enraged when he discovered that Chester bashed his film. It's not a complete surprise given the massive wealth gap between the two, but the bum genuinely does not believe for a second that Kane ever cared for the poor. He cites to the businessman's poor relationship with his own peers and his self-destructive behavior to prove his point. It's suspected that Kane played a role in Chester A. Bum's absence and Charles has not denied that claim. |
| 465 | ** Star Trek fans in general don't like him for advocating the stereotype that NerdsAreVirgins. The debate is still in the air over the bum's claim that the recent Star Trek movies were about trying to move towards more action sequences. |
| 466 | * Every single deity in the South Park universe have a strict 'no homeless' policy. After an outbreak of the homeless convinced the citizens to burn down their own town, they aren't taking any chances with any of the poor in the Pantheon. |

| 485 | * In her mortal life, Eliza lived a life of great richness, with the source of joy in making another girl named Candice White (otherwise known as Candy) suffer. As she did not commit a completely serious crime and pleaded that she'll be good in the afterlife, she was allowed into the gates of Pantheon... but she was banned from ascending after her actions against Candy stroke many deities' nerves one too many times. She was allowed to come back after Masato Kusaka's ascension proved that you can be hated for being a jerk well. The fact that she exemplifies very well how a RichBitch lives and acts doesn't hurt neither. |
| 486 | * Speaking of Kusaka, he seems to be somewhat fond of them. Especially of Neil, who reminded the Kamen Rider of himself by how he shot his last chance at redemption [[spoiler:by delivering a ScarpiaUltimatum to Candy]], establishing himself as a total jerk. |
| 487 | ** Eliza still loves to laugh behind his back at how there are some people ([[MisaimedFandom even though they are misguided]]) who ship her brother [[spoiler:[[FoeYayShipping with Candy]]]], but you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who likes the thought of Kusaka being with Mari ''at all''. |
| 488 | ** However, this "friendship" might become strained if Kusaka finds out they are working with [[spoiler:Sengoku]]. Though Neil has tried to convince the very few in the know that he's only being dragged int this by his sister, ([[SincerityMode which is true]]). |
| 489 | * Pacifica Northwest was astonished to see them ascend, because she believes them to be what she could have become had certain events not happened. |
| 490 | * Amusingly, Monokuma is still interested in her, maybe with plans to drag her into a 'High School of Mutual Murder' as 'Super High School Level [[AlphaBitch Class]] [[RichBitch Bitch]]' with bets that she'll be the first to kill someone... and then be executed ForTheEvulz. Some believe that he was the one who bailed Eliza. |
| 491 | * They get along awfully well with Lady Tremaine. She reminds them of their mother and Tremaine likes having kids like them. Considering she lost her grasp on her daughters, this didn't surprise anyone. |
| 492 | ** Especially since Eliza and Neil were the [[ItMakesSenseInContext "unofficial"]] stepsiblings of Candy. Of course, Ella didn't like to find this out and the twins hate her since they find her to be similar to Candy. |
| 493 | * Neil also gets along with another Disney villain: Gaston. He understands what it feels like [[spoiler:being rejected by the girl he "deserves"]]. |
| 494 | * Not particularly liked at all by any of the {{Bully Hunter}}s of the Pantheon for obvious reasons, but Jimmy Hopkins and [[EvenEvilHasStandards Makoto Itou]] in particular hate their guts. Jimmy on principle and Makoto just is repulsed at how she treated Kotonoha earlier on. |
| 495 | * They really like to tease and annoy Karen Minazuki, stating that she's "Forever Alone despite being rich". As you can guess, this does not always end well for them. |
| 496 | ** They have also bothered Ange because she lost her kingdom. There is no prize for the one who guesses [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill what happened next]]. She also dislikes that they are allied with that racist Kusaka. |
| 497 | ** They also tease Sunset Shimmer a lot, especially Eliza, who thinks the pony-turned-human is an idiot for believing that she can atone for her actions. This brought the attention of the Dazzlings and as such, they can often be found working together. |
| 498 | ** Eliza also earned the hatred of [[Anime/GreatMazinger Tetsuya Tsurugi]] despite the fact that he isn't rich, not only because she dared pollute the voice of his friend Jun Honoo, her mistreatment to orphans like Candy apparently hits too close to home for a suffering orphan like Tetsuya. Needless to say, Eliza is ''very'' wary around him, considering Tetsuya's highly-lauded and well-known skill in combat. |

| 530 | * Geppetto is a humble woodcarver and toymaker who wished to have a son, but never was able to have one. The Blue Fairy noticed this and his kindness, so when he wished on a star for a child that wish was granted when one of his puppets came to life. The magic-induced father of Pinocchio, the kind Geppetto served as one of his moral figures encouraging him to be good. He acts ForHappiness, and though he and his son would be swallowed up by the fearsome Monstro they would escape by crafty use of firewood. Pinocchio would eventually become fully human, and the two lived HappilyEverAfter. [[WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio Or at least until time caught up to him]], [[DeathByAdaptation but that's another story in its own]]. |
| 531 | * The father of Pinocchio is a humble man that did not expect to ascend to the Trope Pantheon, and was happy enough to see his son there. However a place was found under the trope of AdaptationalWealth. In the original book Geppetto was barely scraping buy, to the point of not even having logs for fireplaces or having to forfeit his only jacket to buy Pinocchio a schoolbook. But in the famous Disney movie, he was well off if not rich and nothing suggests any financial issues. [[AdaptationalNiceGuy He's more of a]] NiceGuy when the original Geppetto could be a GrumpyOldMan, but regardless of the timeline he's still a decent person. Meeting up with his son also had him meet up with some other Disney deities. |
| 532 | ** Quickly horrified to learn of the Coachman, and what mortal danger his son was put in. The fact that the Coachman is a KarmaHoudini enrages him far more than [[BerserkButton being called Polentina]] and he is trying to help the House of Pantheon/LawAndJustice bring him down for good. The Coachman himself isn't concerned, seeing Pinocchio as simply "the one that got away". Conversely, he was very pleased to see that Jiminy Cricket had already made his way to the Trope Pantheon before the Coachman, faithfully serving his role as TheConscience. Geppetto attempted to find a role for his pets Figaro and Cleo, however this hasn't gone anywhere beyond making them his heralds. |
| 533 | ** Wishes that the Blue Fairy had joined him on ascension as he wishes to give his gratitude and talk about how far his son has gotten. However, there were fairy godmothers from the greater scope of Disney that had ascended; Flora, Fauna and Merryweather. And they were hardly the only examples in Disney's catalogue even if you ignore the Blue Fairy. He wishes to learn more about them and their adventures, but first they gave him a bit of a warning; beware of Maleficent, [[TheFairFolk for even in Disney not all fey are good]]. Geppetto doesn't trust the Enchantress because he is pretty skeptical [[AesopCollateralDamage what she did to enforce an aesop]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist was worth it]]. |
| 534 | ** [[Creator/{{Pixar}} Related to Disney]], the toys from Toy Story have a liking for Geppetto for being this kind and still playful toymaker. Geppetto speculates that their sentience might have something to do with a fairy godmother he doesn't know about, but admits he's just guessing. Another mystery is why his cat Figaro is sometimes Minnie Mouse's pet. Geppetto has said that they met at some point, found each other good conversationalists and he lets her look after his cat sometimes, [[NoodleIncident but how they met is still a mystery]]. The running theory was this as after Squall/Leon, Sora, Donald Duck and Goofy visited his world and saved his son during their travels. Also, some have found it kind of funny for a mouse to have a cat for a pet. |
| 535 | * Rarely seen in his official temple. His unofficial temple is within the Hall of Pantheon/{{Workmanship}}, where he makes a variety of wooden-based machines and toys. In spite of being poor in the original canon he avoids falling into those dire straits because many within the Trope Pantheon see him a valued craftsman. Geppetto is native to Italy, presumably in the same time period the original book was made[[note]]1883[[/note]], [[WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio though in one timeline]] he had the misfortune of living in UsefulNotes/FascistItaly. His workshop is open to whoever wishes to sample the merchandise or is polite and knocks before entering. BMO occasionally visits the workshop since the warm old Geppetto pleasantly reminds him of Moe, his creator who managed to extend his life for a thousand years. |
| 536 | * Geppetto considered using a new nickname, "the Toymaker", but given the presence of the Celestial Toymaker he decided it would be "unwise branding" knowing [[HumanoidAbomination he]] was present. He's more intimidated by the entity than anything, but this is one-sided as the Celestial Toymaker has left him alone as he's not interested in playing with him. However he isn't as afraid of the entity as he is of whales, due to the traumatic experience of Monstro swallowing him; any big, bad cetacean makes him panic, like Kyogre and the Orca. Also, he doesn't want to get anywhere near Bruce, [[CruelAndUnusualDeath as he's certain it'd end poorly with those teeth]]. On a lighter note, [[BerserkButton he gets crabby being called Polentina]]. He doesn't like being mocked for his wig, which resembles polenta. |
| 537 | * Geppetto is mainly remembered for Disney, but [[Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio the work he originated from]] predates the movie by almost sixty years. As such [[PublicDomainCharacter he's in the public domain]], and as he's under an adaptation-based trope he's more aware of his variations. [[WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio He has a stop-motion incarnation]] that's [[AdaptationalJerkass more unpleasant]], but when push come to shove still a good man. There he [[OutlivingOnesOffspring did have a son]], who he modeled Pinocchio after. Some were reminded of Astro Boy and [[Pantheon/HeroicAttitude Doctor Tenma]], minus the antagonism or SanitySlippage of the latter. Master Geppetto was intrigued by the idea of robots, as like Pinocchio they are living constructs. Another robot boy Geppetto has sympathy for is Robotboy, who holds similar desires of becoming a real human boy. |
| 538 | * Comparisons were also made to this version of him and Victor Frankenstein, again without Geppetto rejecting his son or doing morally questionable things. The woodcarver isn't fond of Dr Frankenstein for all the problems he's caused, though he'll admit he's of intimidated by his monster. [[ThenLetMeBeEvil Seeing how he turned out]], he considers being a good father to Pinocchio all the more important. And if he was worried about Frankenstein's monster, you can bet he's terrified of Ultron who's to put it lightly a bundle of robotic neuroses inherited from his maker. Pinocchio considers Ultron to be [[EvilCounterpart everything that could've gone wrong with him]], [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron a comparison only fueled by his take on]] "there are no strings on me". |
| 539 | * He also exists in the ''Shrek'' universe since Pinocchio is one of Shrek's allies. That said, he doesn't have a good reputation there because [[AdaptationalVillainy that Geppetto handed him over to Lord Farquaad for five shillings]]. More versions of Geppetto are good parents than bad, however, so [[AdaptationAmalgamation the collective]] in the Trope Pantheon chooses to disown this incarnation of him and wants to try and make things right. He has recently been talking with Puss in Boots over [[WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish his recent search for a wishing star]], only through CharacterDevelopment realizing that he didn't need it after all. Geppetto wonders if it is a version of the very same star he wished on from afar. |
| 540 | * Due to his envious hatred of Pinocchio for "upstaging" him as a child, "Big" Jack Horner intends to kidnap, enslave and then kill Geppetto [[RevengeByProxy in order to hurt him]]. The toymaker could only react with disgust and shock at this plan, pointing out [[EvilIsPetty the sheer pettiness]] over something that happened years ago along with Jack's scheme to steal all the magic in the world and give it to himself. By extension, this would kill the Blue Fairy. Jack Horner was quick to twist the knife even further by pointing out [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/{{Fables}} the timeline Geppetto subjected]] the Blue Fairy to a FateWorseThanDeath, as if to say "[[NotSoDifferentRemark we're not so different, you and I]]"]]. On a related note, Geppetto is no fan of that world's Fairy Godmother, [[FairyDevilmother for being a corruption of the ideal beings like the Blue Fairy strives for]]. She's apathetic to what he thinks, though. |
| 541 | * Geppetto once woke up [[WebAnimation/MeatCanyon from a nightmare where Pinocchio was a demon that sought to eat his flesh to become a real boy]], and ever since then he has had a fear of [[PerversePuppet twisted versions of puppets]] [[DemonicDummy and dummies]]. Though it was just a horror-parody dream, the evil of Slappy the Dummy and Chucky the Killer Doll were ''very'' real. He was particularly shocked with how evil the latter was, to the point he had an idyllic childhood yet still ended up a sadistic SerialKiller [[spoiler:who killed his own mother just to impress another murderer]]. He's also freaked out by Arnold Wesker/the Ventriloquist, who's insanity has made him subservient to his gangster puppet and its villainy. He's not sure if that puppet is real or if Wesker is just faking it, but he knows he wants to avoid them. |
| 542 | * Him and [[RambunctiousItalian Peppino Spaghetti]] are definitely contrasts in terms of personality, but surprisingly the two are on good terms. No, it's not just they're both Italians; Peppino is/was a struggling chef who went to hell and highwater to protect his livelihood. Having struggled to make ends meat (at least in the original book) Geppetto sympathizes with his struggle and respects his growth from being a NervousWreck. The two getting along was kind of surprising, but his friendship with Dr Light and Profession Utonium was not. The three of them are kind-hearted [[TrulySingleParent truly single fathers]] of artificial creations, after all. He admires both the Powerpuff Girls and Mega Man for their heroic spirit. |
| 543 | * Perhaps more surprisingly, Geppetto has a good rapport with Jesse Pinkman, of all people. Well more so his "[[Film/ElCamino Mr Driscoll]]" identity. In spite of Jesse's criminal background, he's ultimately kind-hearted and he's good with kids. He didn't want to share his past with Geppetto knowing he might be judged for it, and that Geppetto would call the cops. The toymaker can't say he ever approves of the idea of drug dealing, however he's not one to condemn people if they earnestly want to avoid their past mistakes and he would prefer to help Jesse get honest work; just so long as [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch he avoids swearing in front of Pinocchio or the pets]]. |
| 544 | * [[spoiler:By all accounts a benevolent man, yet there is still a version of Geppetto in TheMultiverse [[AdaptationalVillainy that is not so]]. Those from the world of ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'' know him as "The Adversary", a tyrant who has crushed thousands of fantasy worlds and murdered billions, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans all in the name of peace]]. Once a good man, when he found out he could make as many puppets as he wanted and control them into doing his bidding, there was no way back. Needless to say [[EvilMeScaresMe the mainstream Geppetto was horrified that he had such potential for evil]] and has made it his intention to never interact with deities from that 'verse less this dark persona manifest. Though a RetiredMonster there, he remains untrusted.]] |

| 577 | * Hates: '''Each other''' (minus their children), for Dong-ik, poor people in general. |
| 578 | * The social classes between the rich and the poor can change one or more people's lives as the boundary of fortune mostly revolves on the former than the latter, but what happens when it is flown to the other side? Well this is what happens to these two families. The Kims, who are an extremely poor family are smart and resourceful, able to lie and create deceit towards others. On the other side are the Parks, a wealthy rich family ([[BigScrewedUpFamily though family is a more generous term for them]]) who act as if they are in the top of the world for their wealth. When the Parks chooses to hire the Kims' son, Kim Ki-woo into the household as a teacher, the downfall of the two families begin in what can be described as a masquerade between the two, but most importantly was how the Kims were able to successfully leech the Parks' wealth during the course of their actions while at the same time, the Parks' own distaste and treatment towards the lower classes also slowly takes over the Kims own patience. Essentially, parasites to their own. |
| 579 | * To shorten the two families, the Kims are a smart, if not very deceitful, bunch who will do anything to succeed when it comes to leeching off the fortunes of anyone they meet. They have the skills and toolsets for any perfect profession... but remain unwilling to even strive for those goals, hence why they prefer going after the rich. And out of all the rich families they have encountered are the Parks, a slowly dwindling family that, while rich on the outside, are very dysfunctional on the inside, with 2 of their children very unwitty, their mother unable to do any simple household chores and their father being an arrogant corporate prick, yet for some reason are still together despite the conflicts surrounding them. |
| 580 | * Their presence in the Pantheon was unnoticed by many deities as they thought the two families were nothing more but visitors, however, the message that the two have brought with them such as the division of both the rich and poor and how both sides are prone to be in the wrong like the Parks' own uncaring attitude towards the poor [[spoiler:to the Kims' willingness to kill when their deceit is being unraveled as well as their habit of ruining other people's jobs for their benefit]] became a highlight to their ascension, so much that the Court of the Gods brought both families in as a response to the message. |
| 581 | * Despite their social differences, one noticeable similarity is their family structure, [[NuclearFamily overall both families seem to have both a father and mother and two kids of both genders]]. This becomes important as the families, especially the kids do have developed relationships with each other, as opposed to the parents who seem to be on the fence against each other, especially with Dong-ik, who almost always treats the poor with little respect, outside of telling how ''smelly'' they are. |
| 582 | ** This unique structure the family possesses was seen by the Simpsons family, who seem to be the bridge between the poor and rich social structure as the family have gone many tribulations from near bankruptcy to outright rich endevours. As for their response, the Parks' father Dong-ik has refused to collaborate with them, their mother Yeon-kyo has been getting motherly lessons from Marge and the kids are rather reluctant to interact to both Bart and Lisa, outside of Da-song learning some Native American facts from Lisa. On the other hand, both Ki-taek and Homer do go very well with each other as they drink beer while Chung-sook avoids Marge due to her roughness towards the rich and perhaps even the middle class and the two children don't really talk much outside of Bart looking at Ki-jeong with curiosity and Lisa forced to teach Ki-woo actual english. |
| 583 | ** The family structures however does not help the dysfunctional status of the two families. For all the Kims skills comes their laziness and the Parks are basically all over the places similar to a bottle filled with different colors. The Wilkerson Family saw this, and while none of the family members saw this outside of pure similarity, their son, Malcolm sees eerie similarities deeper from the surface, such as Lois' parenting to Dong-ik's, Hal's near uselessness to Yeon-kyo, Reese's status as the family's dumbass son to Ki-woo and perhaps himself to both Ki-woo and Ki-jeong for their [[BrilliantButLazy smart and lazy]] mindset. |
| 584 | ** As if it wasn't bad enough, their familial relationships are near similar to another heavily broken family, the Mishima family, with the very bloodthirsty feud between Kazuya and Heihachi Mishima and the troubled pasts of both Jin Kazama and Jun Kazama. While the entire troubled pasts are non existent to the family duos and that the bloodshed was very little compared to the Mishima debacle, there is certainly some similarity of broken familial relationships here and there. |
| 585 | * The two families and their relationship as master and maids brought the attention of four women: Agnes, Anna, Karin and Maria, who took notice of the two families and saw the connection. However, the other sisters see more than that, with Maria being rather sympathetic to the Kims and for being rather similar in both being manipulative and adept liars, while Karin understands the issues going on with Dong-ik and Yeon-kyo. Agnes was rather saddened to hear the fate that befell both families and could see how even in any class would always cause issues, be it rich or poor. |
| 586 | * Both families have been pitied by two children, Sarah Crewe and Charlie Bucket, both of who have gone through the hardships of being poor and came from rags to riches. Sarah believes the Kims need to change their mindsets so that they can have their lives changed while Charlie is rather displeased with how the Parks are so separated even with all the resources and riches they have acquired. |
| 587 | * Social status has been a big theme among the two, so much that its what dictates both families, be it the Kims' two-faced skill and the Parks' luxurious lifestyles. This sad truth is what both Victor and Victoria heard the moment the family ascended as the two married each other for the sake of elevating the social classes both were placed into. After hearing the string of events that lead to [[spoiler: Ki-jeong and Dong-ik's deaths alongside the old helpers and the near death of Ki-woo]], their pity for the social hierarchy and on both sides only grew, and soon both of them were worried on behalf of their own social classes if the same conflict may happen to them. |
| 588 | * At one point, the two families were reached out by two men with white clothing, asking if they could borrow some eggs. As they set up the first game for the two families to interact with, they were met with anger from the two fathers, with Ki-taek sick of Dong-ik's comments against him, and Chung-sook bringing out a knife in front of him, while Yeon-kyo passed out due to all the ensuring chaos and the siblings of both families are simply watching the parents against each other. Then in an surprise visit [[spoiler:from the Parks' old helpers, Moon-gwang and Geun-se,]] did the tides turn against the Kims as their children were slowly getting killed one by one. The aftermath of the chaos led to both Paul and Peter satisfied with the carnage from the two families and decided not to play the games, instead willing to watch the two against each other from time to time. |
| 589 | * The Kims are extremely poor, so much that almost all of them are simply running temporary jobs with no credentials whatsoever with their father Ki-taek running most of those, but that is made up for their reourcefulness and intelligent skills in the art of scamming anyone who they see as worth stealing from, such as their daughter Ki-jeong who is pretty much the master of all their con scheming and Ki-woo who acts as the writer/director of the plans while their mother Chung-sook acts like the muscle of the group. This mindset of theirs is what puts them always poor, as their minds are not so much as focusing on getting decent jobs, but stealing from others. |
| 590 | ** After their ascensions, the Kims started having newer opportunities to explore. Ki-jeong decided to go back to her Jessica moniker while Ki-woo started going back to his name as Kevin and explore being a hired tutor for the family, while Ki-taek got more opportunities as a driver (and other jobs) and Chung-sook is watching the family so that all of them remain together no matter the costs. |
| 591 | ** This mindset of theirs is counter-opposite to a fellow poor man Chester A. Bum, who the family calls him to be a raving lunatic of the annoying kind. However, they do sometimes go to hime for some tips on how to live the poor life, as Chester is very experienced in the poor settlement more than anyone in the Pantheon knows. |
| 592 | ** For a while, Chung-sook was approached by a blonde woman, who approached her with respect on her part. While she shrugged it away at first, she later realised she was talking to a person who represented her skill of being MoreDeadlyThanTheMale. She announced herself as Annie Leonhardt and saw her brutal skill as an athlete put into the real world to be something very remarked at. When the mother asked if she was ever rich, Annie could only respond with: |
| 593 | -->'''Annie:''' "Riches? There are no riches on my world, unless you consider blood to be that." |
| 594 | ** When Omar Little heard about the family's notoriety when it comes to cons and ponzi schemes. He payed them a visit and noticed how both of them are pretty much poor people, unafraid of the type of people they are willing to cross. This earned The Terror's respect very much that he is a very welcome visitor to the family. |
| 595 | ** Outside of him, Ochako has been taking small visits from the Kims from time to time. While her family has warned her of the Kims' swindling schemes, she has good faith that her helping them will possibly change their mindset for the better, as opposed to being stuck in an endless loop of stealing. |
| 596 | ** The news of the Kims' own swindling schemes came unnoticed when Tomie Kawakami saw what the family was planning outside of just stealing fortune from the Parks. In an attempt to steal their fortune, she seduced their son Ki-woo and came Chung-sook and Ki-jeong getting rid of her to keep her away from their son. That would not be the last however as she has taken attempts to not only swoon on him but on Ki-taek as well, seeing that the family are rivals when it comes to the stealing and leeching of wealth from others. |
| 597 | ** On the other side of the globe however, [[EatTheRich the same poor-rich scenario]] that occurred to them appeared on Gotham after an incident that was related with the Joker. While the Kims wanted to see the events, what they found from the news was that this Joker was far different from the original incarnation, [[Film/Joker2019 a man by the name of Arthur Fleck took the Joker persona and caused havoc and chaos towards society]] with the poor-rich relationship being just a side-effect of the riots. Nonetheless, this version of the Joker sympathizes with the family and promises that those people like the Parks will suffer the same pain they inflicted on them. |
| 598 | ** ''"You know what kind of plan never fails? No plan. No plan at all. You know why? Because life cannot be planned."'' |
| 599 | * The Parks are a very rich family, so rich that they act aristocratic when it comes to their behaviour, but that costed them their bonds, as the family is less than an actual family and more of a group of uncoordinated individuals. Their children are very rambunctious, especially their son Da-song who seems to think of the artistic type (even though many people think otherwise) though much less their daughter Da-hye, who is rather observant in some cases, their mother Yeon-kyo is clueless about anything related to housework, hence why she relies on maids or househelpers, and their father Dong-ik, while supplying the family with riches, ends up being having the biggest disdain towards anyone and an arrogance that [[FailedASpotCheck clearly put him at a disadvantage]] despite being an upper class. |
| 600 | ** While their ascension was being finished, Dong-ik decided to establish his tech firm in the family's temple to continue their wealth, while Yeon-kyo was trying to finish her list of things to accomplish prior to them moving to a temple. Da-song ended entering the House of Pantheon/{{Cultures}} to see more of the native Indians and Da-hye ended up just watching all of this from the perch of her room. |
| 601 | ** Thanks to all the richness they have, that lead the family to interest with the Reagans, who themselves are rich as well. Because of the family's cluelessness, they seem to accept their presence, and their father is the one that accepts their invitations considering that both are in the upper class, even though the Reagans in particular have a record of disrespect that would even rival Dong-ik's own attitude. |
| 602 | ** Upper class student Byakuya Togami took a small interest on the family and is interested with working alongside Dong-ik, though his reaction towards the other family members are not the same. For one, he sees Yeon-kyo nearly useless and her children hard to communicate with. What he doesn't know is that compared to the two of them, the father is more of the arrogant douche than Byakuya is. |
| 603 | *** Another thing that Byakuya noted amongst the two families was their children. In his family, the entire 11 children of the Togami household were essentially {{Social Darwinist}}s who would go for every method to earn their parents trust and fortune. After going through all the tribulations and hardships of the family, seeing both the families' own children going well together without the entire competition mindset (and actually gaining bonds towards each other) is a breath of fresh air for him. |
| 604 | ** For those wondering what is happening behind the scenes with Yeon-kyo and her husband, its a rather long story. Despite being married with him for a long time, the couple's toleration to each other is a rather all time low. In fact, he basically treat's her as a TrophyWife and not an actual love interest, so much that is has slowly broken her many times. This feeling is something both Trip and Grace has unfortunately felt after their marriage, so much that hearing Yeon-kyo's experiences with him has left both slowly reconsidering their marriage facade and at the same time, trying to remedy the situation with her. |
| 605 | ** The tales of the rich Parks was not received well by two known rich figures: Jay Gatsby and Charles Kane, who saw the Parks to be a true testament to the perils of being very rich. Gatsby in particular feels extreme disappointment with Dong-ik's disdain towards anyone, especially the poor while Kane's response to this is with contempt due to how unstructured the family is despite all the wealth they have, a case that Kane had suffered and died of as a result. |
| 606 | *** Another took notice of the Parks and noted them as a harsh lesson of being rich, that being Perrine Clostermann. Considering that she had to sacrifice all her riches, including her life for the sake of hometown, seeing a family even with such envious riches yet still broken towards each other disheartens her and is rather glad that she sacrificed all the riches she ever had. |
| 607 | * The families also has a spot on the House of Pantheon/{{Philosophy}}, under Pantheon/OptimismAndPessimism. |

| 624 | * His mother dying shortly after giving birth to him, Oliver Twist went through a series of misfortune and mistreatment whilst living in a workhouse, working to have at least three gruel a day. This culminated in a series of bullies insulting Oliver's deceased mother in front of him and a fight, after which Oliver escaped the workhouse and encountered Jack Dawkins, "TheArtfulDodger", whom tricked Oliver into being serviced under the criminal Fagin. Oliver would later persist and eventually lead a successful life, although many of his friends and close associates would die, in addition to Oliver still having a series of unresolved issues. |
| 625 | * The Pantheon was a rather memorable experience for Oliver. He was overwhelmingly surprised and was eager to see this new world in which he had ascended into. Of course, he would temper his curiosity and try to see if there was someone helpful he could find, considering the amount of misfortune he had to go through. |
| 626 | * Much of the Pantheon expressed their sympathies for what Oliver had to go through, especially with the workhouse, Jack, Fagin and Bill Sikes. They've decided to grant Oliver access to much of the [[Pantheon/{{Food}} House of Food]] to remedy the [[PovertyFood the struggle Oliver went through to earn himself three pots of gruel]]. Oliver is happy, though he feels as if the Pantheon is being too flattering on him. |
| 627 | * An orphan himself, Oliver soon met the Orphan Quintet, who have their fair share of troubles and struggles during their orphaning years. Oliver was really pleased to see individuals who have been through a similar predicament and is more than willing to help them out. The company of [[Pantheon/{{Emotion}} Pollyanna Whittier]] especially helped in getting Oliver to act more optimistic and happy about himself and towards others. |
| 628 | ** He also found company under other orphans like [[Pantheon/WeaponizedAppendages Tetsuya Tsurugi]] and [[Pantheon/{{Offsprings}} the Baudelaire Orphans]] for obvious reasons. Because of the type of friends he has now made, Oliver finds himself frequently visiting the House of Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives whenever he needs company and support. On a similar, note, he has gained assistance from [[Pantheon/MedicalConditions Madeline]] and [[Pantheon/{{Accessories}} Annie]] regarding how to fend for himself and cherishing his closest memories. |
| 629 | ** Charlie Bucket immediately struck a friendship with Oliver the moment the latter ascended. The two had a lot to relate to, with neither of them having proper housing to accommodate them and with food being a major part in their tales. While the two of them managed to find themselves in a more manageable situation regarding profit, Charlie seems guilty in that he has something Oliver doesn't. He tries his best to cheer up Oliver, even taking him to the Chocolate Factory at times. |
| 630 | * [[Pantheon/FightingStyles Kazuma Kiryu]] has expressed sympathy for what Oliver had to go through, and offered him a place to take comfort in. He's allowed Oliver to visit his orphanage at any given time, and would try to appoint meetings with other orphans as well to give Oliver company. Oliver also befriended [[Pantheon/CriminalActions Jean Valjean]], seeing as both went through similar hardships. Jean is also willing to aid and support Oliver should the latter desire. That, and the two of them also had their stories published in Film and Stage Musicals. |
| 631 | * [[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes Bruce Wayne]] took notice of Oliver's past and hardships, immediately sympathizing with Oliver. He decided to invest a good deal of his profit on providing resources and support for him, and Bruce himself gets to meet Oliver once in a while, talking to him and giving him advice and therapy to help him out. There's rumors of Bruce wanting to appoint Oliver as an additional Robin, which he's made no comment of as of yet. [[Pantheon/AgeAndYouth Peter Pan]] also took notice, often getting [[Pantheon/{{Fairies}} Tinkerbell]] to blanket Oliver with pixie-dust to give him a fun time. As a result, Oliver became fast friends with Peter, often spending time flaying around the Pantheon, though Pan knows that Oliver would grow out of it. |
| 632 | * [[Pantheon/OnePiece The Straw Hat Pirates]] have decided to allow Oliver to have fun with them as many times as he would like to provide him with joy. Luffy, being incredibly passionate about friendships and realizing the struggle he had to go through to eat, is very close to Oliver, even allowing him to have his food, which was surprising given [[BigEater Luffy's approach to eating]]. On a similar note, [[Pantheon/MultiWieldingWeapons Link]], himself [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild having learned to make food]] will often give his servings to Oliver. Oliver is content with how much support he is getting in the Pantheon since, though he would also like to see if he can earn them himself. |
| 633 | * As someone who had his experiences with abusive figures, Oliver hates Heihachi and Ozai for their horrible treatment towards their children, in addition to the latter not having any guilt in him whatsoever. The two remind him all too well about Bill Sikes and his treatment towards Nancy. |
| 634 | * Oliver once heard of an incident where [[Pantheon/ScientistsAndGeniuses Stewie Griffin]] imagined himself as Oliver. After learning that Stewie would oppress himself against the workhouse and force his superior into a dance, Oliver chuckled upon hearing it. That said while he does like how Stewie would assert his defense, Oliver is not fond of his bratty, smug demeanor. Stewie himself doesn't seem to mind Oliver's presence in the Pantheon either. While he is a jerk, Stewie knows what Oliver went through, so he has made an exception on going after him. |
| 635 | * While he would escape poverty and find financial stability after being adopted by his maternal aunt, Oliver has not fully recovered from his tribulations, especially considering he's been struggling for the entirety of his childhood. The deaths of Nancy and Dick still etches clear in his mind, although happy, Oliver knows he will never forget about his experiences. For now, he is finding new company as a means for therapy and a sign of moving on. |
