Characters / Foolish Mortals Round One

This is the character page for all player characters and NPCs that were introduced in the first round of Foolish Mortals and the following intermission. See Foolish Mortals Round Two and Foolish Mortals Round Three for tropes on relevant, returning characters.

Round 1 Characters

Anna

Killed by Emily during Week 3.

• Off with His Head!: Although with a less respectful bent than Mulan's execution.
• Princess Classic: An archetypical friendly, kind-hearted princess. Unfortunately, her wealth is presumably what makes her a target for Emily.

Anna Sasaki

Made it to the survivor pool.

Demyx

The culprit of Week 5 (Case 4).

• The Sociopath: Being a Nobody, his empathy is quite low, although it isn't nonexistent. He manages a "that sucks" when Mulan is found guilty.
  • It's also the reason why he kills WALL-E - He takes the simple logic that WALL-E is a robot, and therefore, isn't actually a being. So therefore, it shouldn't matter if he dies.

Elsa

Made it to the survivor pool.

• Alone Among the Couples: Other characters are pairing off around her, but the fact remains that Elsa will probably never kiss a girl. All the eligible ones are dead.
• Break the Cutie: The first few weeks are not kind to her. She loses her sister to the ghosts, and finds a friend murdered not too long after.
  • Come round 2, she doesn't take Tadashi being revived well, at all.
• Broken Bird: Especially after the events of Round 2. Elsa seems to be fighting for the award for "saddest person in Foolish Mortals".
• Friend to All Living Things: Has at least a decent relationship with everyone including some of the ghosts.

Fiddleford McGucket

One of the victims of Week 7 (Case 6).

• Future Me Scares Me: After receiving the main Gravity Falls Plot Device out of the slot machine and being thoroughly spoiled for his own future. The fourth motive turns out to involve being shown video clips of his future as well, which deeply disturbs him especially because everyone else in the house is now privy to His Greatest Failure.
• Hillbilly Moonshiner: Using his skills as a Gadgeteer Genius he manages to put together a still in Week 4.

• Improbable Weapon User: That banjo's not just for making music; it also works great for hitting people.

• We Used to Be Friends: With Ford. As the game progresses Fiddleford has a Coming-Out Story and their relationship transforms into a Time-Travel Romance thanks to the feelings they've both had since they Experimented in College.

Gratuity Tucci

One of the victims of Week 6 (Case 5).

• Super-Strong Child: She can lift WALL-E, who weighs 270 pounds according to Word of God.

Jiminy Cricket

The culprit of Week 7 (Case 6).

• Acquired Situational Narcissism: Getting his gold badge at the end of his movie has somewhat worsened his ego problem.
• The Chew Toy: Frequently suffers humiliation for his many hypocrisies or arrogance and its hard to argue he doesn't deserve it.
• The Dreaded: Becomes this to the Underworld after his reputation for killing demigods gets around. He hates it.
• Fatal Flaw: Pride. His fear of having his flaws exposed leads to two deaths, motivates his decision to avoid revealing the truth, and its ultimately his pride in what Pinocchio thinks of him that gets him to confess.

• Not So Above It All: When Wendy starts writing graffiti on the wall, he's only really concerned about her wasting supplies, and is fine with it once she mentions they'll restock themselves. He even asks her to draw Oogie Boogie with a mustache.
• Scatterbrained Senior: Played for drama. His short lifespan and extended period in the mansion causes him to start forgetting several dead residents as he gets older.
• Skewed Priorities: Sure, murder's bad, but property damage, pool playing, and men going into the women's restroom? Much worse.

Julia Winterfield

Made it to the survivor pool.

• Battle of the Bands: Arrived right before she was to participate in one.
• Singer-Songwriter: Definitely wants to be one.

Karolina Dean

The victim of Week 2 (Case 1).

• Dying Alone: Mulan desperately tries to avoid this, but Karolina succumbs to her wound before Mulan can find help.
• Power Nullifier: Which turns what should have been a quick heal into an Accidental Murder.

Kiara

One of the victims (and culprits) of Week 6 (Case 5).

• The Nose Knows: She's usually the one to conduct sniff tests during trials.

Lea

Punished by Oogie Boogie during Week 5.

LeFou

Made it to the survivor pool.

• Big "NO!": He gives one of these twice to Maui in Week 7. The second time Maui isn't faking it.
• Fish out of Temporal Water: He's from the 18th century.

• I Should Have Been Better: A persistent thought of his whenever his old friend and captain Gaston comes up in conversation. He was also one of the people who thought or outright said this when it was revealed that no one had heard Mulan trying to get help for Karolina.
• In Touch with His Feminine Side: He cooks frequently and cleans his own clothes, which were not uncommon skills for a man of his status (or lack thereof) to have in his time period, but were still considered effeminate (particularly by men like Gaston).
• Never Learned to Read: He misses announcements and notes because of this, and he has to have help voting.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: He ends up revealing to Elsa that "LeFou" (literally "The Fool") is a nickname based on his last name LaFeuille.
• Parental Substitute: For Namine, who calls him "Papa" starting in the case 6 trial of their round.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: With Maui, as of Week 4's afterparty.

Maui

One of the victims of Week 7 (Case 6).

• Mayfly–December Romance: He's over a thousand years old and immortal. This doesn't stop him from falling for LeFou.

Mike Chilton

Made it to the survivor pool.

• Drives Like Crazy: It's natural, as in his time there's no such thing as a licence. He just really loves cars.
• Only Sane Man: Keeps a level head more often then most of the cast, and tends to be the one to catherd during trials.

Naminé

Made it to the survivor pool.

• The Ingenue: Which endears her to the rest of the cast. She doesn't even swear like the rest of them until the mastermind trial, that is.

Ping

The culprit of Week 2 (Case 1).

• Face Death with Dignity: She maintains a calm, accepting expression throughout her execution.

Sophie Hatter

The victim of Week 3 (Case 2).

• Mystical White Hair: Has a conversation with Lefou about the origin of hers. It comes up again later at the afterparty following her death.

Stanford Pines

Made it to the survivor pool.

• Outliving One's Offspring: He was absolutely devastated when Dipper's body was found floating in the pool.

• Punch a Wall: After seeing not only his twin brother but also his great-niece among the victims chosen for the most recent ritual, he left the room and punched all the way through to the studs.

Star Butterfly

One of the culprits of Week 6 (Case 5).

• Black-and-White Morality: She's convinced that, since her and the rest of the group are the good guys, the ghosts must all be evil monsters and stubbornly refuses to think otherwise, no matter what the other houseguests tell her.
• Determinator: Won't stop trying to find a way out of the mansion.
• Genki Girl: Very cheerful and energetic most of the time.
• Magic Misfire: Mostly due to her being inexperienced with her magic. It's how she accidentally kills Kiara, and turns her into a rug when she wished to "fix this".
• Magic Wand: It was returned to her thanks to the regain machine.

Sylvia

One of the victims of Week 4 (Case 3).

• Action Girl: Behind Maui, she could easily be considered the strongest guest this round.
• Lady Swears a Lot: Granted, they are alien swears, but she fits this trope.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: The tough, snarky girl to Wander's kindness.

Tadashi Hamada

The culprit of Week 3 (Case 2).

• Gadgeteer Genius: Has a brilliant mind when it comes to robotics engineering.
• Last Request: Knows he's going to be executed and asks that someone take care of his cat in his absence.
• My Friends... and Zoidberg: After his execution, he's often mentioned or thought of last when listing victims. To be fair, he is the only participant to commit murder on purpose so far.

Tarzan

Captured and replaced by Lawrence during Week 4. Later becomes the 10th and final victim.

• Voice Changeling: He can imitate others' voices easily, and often uses their voices when repeating words they've taught him.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: Nearly all the time. It's one of the clues that reveals the imposter.

WALL-E

The victim of Week 5 (Case 4).

• The Cutie: To the point most of the cast is visibly uncomfortable when he learns the word "pervert".

Wander

One of the victims of Week 4 (Case 3).

• Friend to All Living Things: Will to befriend all kinds of villains, including the souls of the damned. in the final battle, the souls in the River Styx come to everyone's aid due to his kindness.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: The sweet, peace-loving boy to Sylvia's toughness.

• Wholesome Crossdresser: Week 2 has him wearing a princess dress, and he wears it again at the Masquerade Ball.

Wendy Corduroy

Made it to the survivor pool.

• Cartwright Curse: Enjoys some brief attraction to Karolina and Mulan before they get offed.

• Tragic Keepsake: Ends up with two by the end of the round: Karolina's bracelet, and Jiminy Cricket's badge, which she fashioned into an earring.

Round 1 NPCs

The Ghost Host

Ghost number one.

• Affectionate Nickname: Wander's "Ghostave" nickname ends up sticking.

• Only Sane Man: While about as cavalier about death as most of the ghosts, he's trying to keep the most order throughout the situation and is noticeably frustrated as it gets more out of hand.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Genuinely goes out of his way to apologize for his employer's manipulations and would love to do more if his hands weren't tied.

The Hatbox Ghost

The ghost with the most... evil schemes.

• Big Bad: Seems to be this for Foolish Mortals as a whole, appropriately.
• The Bad Guy Wins: Despite the Masterminds being defeated his plans still work out perfectly; he manages to invade Main Street, destroy the Stonecutter's Quill and the magic crystal, and kill Walt while he's at it.
• The Unfought: Outside of a few meetings, there have not been any direct confrontations with him. Yet.
• Troll: Clearly enjoys messing with the cast, including a moment in Round 2 where he pulls Oswald aside just to openly announce his brother's birthday in his face.

The Mole/Lawrence

The traitor amongst the cast who's been helping the Ghost Host's employer. The culprit of Week 4 (Case 4).

• Never My Fault: Quick to place blame on Sylvia for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and calls the cast a band of lunatics, rather than confess his guilt in the murder.
• Out-of-Character Alert: Along with Saying Too Much while impersonating Tarzan
• Walking Spoiler: Given that he isn't any of the player characters.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Well, he had one more use to the Mastermind. A body to kill Ghostave with.

Oogie Boogie

The new "Host" implemented after Ghostave's death.

• Berserk Button: Hurting his bugs.
• Big Bad Ensemble: Actually is working with both Alameda Slim and Doctor Facilier. Though, Oogie fills more of a roll as The Dragon at the final trial.
• Brilliant, but Lazy: Technically very intelligent, he'd just rather read his dirty magazines then help in a trial, even when his partners are being taken down.
• Fat Bastard: He's big, and a bastard, but he's not actually fat...
• Manchild: Acts like a spoiled brat most of the time, up to creating a motive that just forces the survivors to celebrate his birthday.
• The Gambler: It's his stock and trade. Naturally, when he takes over as host, announcements and motives are given out in the casino room.

Doctor Facilier

The one behind it all...

• Big Bad Ensemble: Again, working with both Alameda Slim and Oogie Boogie.
• Fat and Skinny: The skinny to Slim's fat. And also this to Lawrence.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Much like the movie, he gets dragged off by his "Friends" once Lefou breaks his talisman.

Alameda Slim

...And then there's this guy.

• Big Bad Ensemble: AGAIN, he's working with Facilier and Oogie Boogie.
• Fat and Skinny: The fat, amusingly, to Facilier's slim.
• Unexpected Character: Honestly, who was expecting Alameda Slim!? Although the Mods noted this was done because everyone had already suspected Facilier was involved.

Walt

The man in the forest.

• Big Good: Is determined to help everyone defeat the masterminds and rescue their friends from the Underworld. He even gives them a new place to stay in the meantime. However... it's a bit more complicated than that.
• Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of the Big Good while also subverting Historical Hero Upgrade. While he seems to be a hero whose amazing power built a utopia and can save the people trapped, he didn't seem to realize his responsibility with such power, and being a figurehead of the resistance just turned into a cult of personality that obscured his flaws. Being treated as if he could do no wrong led him to attempt to play both sides for personal gain and betray the people closest to him, and being treated like his power could solve everything led to his death.
• Dream Walker: Initially appeared to Elsa this way. Then met with the rest of the survivors in a similar fashion.
• Real-Person Cameo: It... it's Walt Disney, plain and simple. Albeit, in the appearance of Tom Hanks.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: He's quick to prove that he wants the best for the survivors, and assures them that they will get to work on rescuing their friends... After they've had time to rest and rehabilitate.

Abe

The man's helper.

• Berserk Button: The Hatbox Ghost, and EPCOT.
• Heroic BSoD: Upon learning about Walt's death by his hands, Abe locks himself away.
• Last of His Kind: Aside from Rod, he's the last animatronic that lived in EPCOT before it was destroyed.
• Real-Person Cameo: ....It's Abraham Lincoln. Although, again, he's not exactly the real person...
• Robot Buddy: ...Because he's actually the animatronic Abe from The Hall of the Presidents. And he knows it.
• Unwitting Pawn: Used by Bill Cipher, and by extension Hatbox Ghost, to murder Walt when he least expects it.
