All Gays Love Theatre: One of the reasons his mom caught on to him being gay is because he works as a musical theater actor.
Distracted by the Sexy: Offered himself as a sexual object to distract Shenzi and her gang from hurting his family.
Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: Averted, setting precedent for later chapters. In the Statements side story, he comments about this in-universe being another reason he doesn't want to press charges.
I Want Grandkids: He realises his mother already knows he's gay when she prods him to meet a man and start adopting some kids.
Meaningful Name: "Saint Silvertongue" talked his assailants into having sex with him instead of finding and attacking his family.
Questionable Consent: Type A: technically he agreed to it, and he has much angst over whether this means it doesn't count as rape.
The Stoner: Was one in his youth along with Pumbaa. He grew out of the habit after they adopted Simba.
Transparent Closet: In "Coming Out", his mother's surprised to realise he didn't know she already knew he was gay.
Date Rape: She's raped on a date twice, once under false pretences and once forcibly.
Disease Bleach: Injury variation; part of her scalp was torn up during the forcible rape, and her hair grew back white on that patch.
Meaningful Name: "Sister Snowdrop" is staying silent for fear of consequences to her sister's mental health, and some of her hair was ripped out and grew back white.
Creepy Physical: Pleasure Island has a quote-unquote "doctor" examine the new arrivals and film it.
Death of a Child: Lampwick and the presumably many others before him died.
Innocent Inaccurate: He assumes that if the person taking naked pictures of him is a doctor, that means it must be okay, and doesn't realise Lampwick is trying to send out a distress signal.
Intersex Tribulations: Averted. He's perfectly happy and healthy, and in fact his genital agenesis probably saved him as Pleasure Island's customers didn't want him.
Meaningful Name: "The Duke of Dolls" was kept by a pedophile ring where the children were dressed up and "played" with whenever adults wanted.
Ascended Extra: He was barely in his original movie but he's one of the writers' favourites.
Adaptational Heroism: Not... precisely. He's just as dangerous and creepy as in the original movie, but he's allied with the Palace against worse.
Gayngster: He's pansexual, and according to him he's not the only member of the Toon Patrol to be queer, which he knows from snooping in their phones.
Hilariously Abusive Childhood / Missing Mom: According to him, when he was eight his mother moved out of their apartment and left him behind. He doesn't seem very concerned by this.
Intergenerational Friendship: Appears to have one with the preschool-age Vitani. A weirder example than most seeing as both of them are insane.
Minion Shipping: Invoked. It's implied and later stated outright in the side stories that he has a thing with Wheezy.
Older Than They Look: He's a thirty-year-old gangster whose mannerisms and small size make him seem like a kid.
Psycho Knife Nut: Well, razor nut. He's a Psychopathic Man Child who carries a straight-razor everywhere he can get away with it and gets twitchy when he can't have it with him, and he's used it many times.
Psychopathic Manchild: He's obsessively violent, hyperactive, curious, and gets along better with the kids than the adults.
Security Blanket: His razor, which he's unfortunately not allowed to bring into the group meetings. To a lesser extent, his sweater.
Action Survivor: Not a fighter, but she still manages to get out of captivity on her own by using her smarts and daring a desperate climb out the hotel window.
Meaningful Name: "Lady Reynard" took the name of a traditional trickster as she used trickery to escape, plus in her originating canon she's an anthropomorphic fox, and her kidnapping happened when it was sunny and raining at the same time, which is known as "fox's wedding".
Adaptational Angst Downgrade: Played with, as while she obviously is dealing with the trauma of getting molested, due to the presence of Jumba and Pleakley in her and Nani's lives, as well as the fact she seems to have already had Stitch for a fair bit of time, she's not at risk of being taken away from her sister.
Meaningful Name: "Ka Pua Mae 'Ole" is a rough translation of "the flower that never fades" in Hawaiian, taken from her movie's theme song, "He Mele No Lilo".
The Emperor of the Sun (Kuzco) and The Bodyguard (Pacha)
Big Brother Instinct: After befriending Minty Sakura during his time with the Ark, he develops this towards her. Rescuing her is one of his primary reasons for staying in the US.
Human Trafficking: Yzma sold him to the Ark, a sex trafficking ring.
Language Barrier: Is still uncertain and uncomfortable with speaking English, though he understands it just fine, and has Pacha as a translator.
Meaningful Name: "The Emperor of the Sun" is Peruvian and was spoilt as much as a prince until his incident, when he was locked up indoors away from the sun, and "the Bodyguard" is just there to protect him.
Royal Brat: His father had a position in the Peruvian government and left Yzma in charge of him, but Yzma let him run wild, resulting in him becoming spoiled.
Spoiled Brat: Was one due to Yzma's bad parenting.
Survivor Guilt: Towards to the other members of the Palace. During her story, she's continually worried that she shouldn't be there and that her experiences are less worthy of relating than theirs, being "only" a foiled kidnapping attempt from a Stalker with a Crush.
Hollywood Autism: A mixed/downplayed example. He admits he doesn't have good social skills and takes statements literally, but the more negative stereotypes are avoided.
Meaningful Name: "Doctor Robot" is both a reference to the movie and to his "robotic" way of speaking, the "Doctor" part is his actual job.
When Barry Skellington gropes him, Baymax recoils in horror, even though he rarely shows serious reactions to anything. This indicates how serious the Skellington children's situation must be and how revolting Baymax finds this sort of interaction.
Baymax is very kind and does not wish to harm anyone, but in "Cat Out of the Bag," Hiro and Judy come over and tell him that Tadashi was raped and murdered by the cult. After they leave, he goes into his home gym to hit a heavy punching bag and the last line of the chapter mentions how it was the first time that he actually wanted to hurt someone. Considering that Baymax was very close to Tadashi, his feelings are understandable.
The Stoic: Playing off him being a robot in canon, he has a flat affect and rarely shows emotion even when he's actually deeply traumatized. The one exception is when Barry gropes him and he jerks back in horror.
Badass in Distress: As a sharpshooter, Panchito is more overtly badass than the other two — and he is the one who is kidnapped. He only survives by managing to get a message out to Donald and José, who organise a rescue operation with the help of Donald's family.
Meaningful Name: "The Three Caballeros" use their team name from before with "The Sailor" and "The Charmer" just using names that reference their professions. "The Gunman" refers to both how Sheldgoose earned his trust, GWFcut off his finger and how he was able to force Sheldgoose into confessing by relearning to shoot with his left hand.
Spiteful Spit: One of Panchito's assailants spits directly into his mouth.
Traumatic Haircut: Somebody in GWF chops off Panchito's long ponytail and mocks him for potential gender-nonconformity. Panchito admits that it's not as bad as the rape, but it still felt like a "violation of [his] body."
True Companions: The first group to speak together at a Palace meeting, and the first to have a team name before they found the Palace group.
Hollywood Tourette's: Discussed, but averted. She notes that most people know of Tourette's in the context of shouting swear words, but she just suffers from muscular spasms.
Meaningful Name: "The Champion So Bittersweet" was the only child in her home not to be abused by her guardian; much angst is had over whether this means she 'won' or 'lost' in his eyes, since she was the only one left unscathed.
The Unfavorite: Played with. Candy emotionally neglected her and instead focused on her foster siblings, who in turned bullied her. After the truth comes out, she isn't sure whether she is actually the unfavourite or the favourite, since she's the only one of the kids who wasn't sexually abused.
Badass Boast: When asked by a member of GWF if he got his smarts from God or the Devil.
"Neither could hope to make me as clever as I am."
The B Grade: His father would scold him if he lost even a single point on his assignments, so he became obsessed with perfection to the point where he took cocaine just to maintain full marks in college.
Child Prodigy: Textbook definition, entering college at age thirteen.
Driven to Suicide: In part 4, when he realizes that the Ark guards are onto the group he's trying to escape with, he grabs Greasy's gun and tries to blow his brains out.
Instant Sedation: He passes out very quickly on inhaling whatever Goob gave him.
Meaningful Name: "Detective Know It All" was targeted because of his intelligence, and emotionally abused to the point where he seems to think that's the only thing worthwhile about him.
Off the Wagon: In "Darkest Hours, Frosting Flowers", after the police corruption comes out and he's blamed, he tries to go back to taking cocaine, except the seller he tries to buy from is Goob, who slips him a sedative instead at Ratigan's instruction.
The Scapegoat: Ratigan throws him under the bus after the police corruption comes to light. "Police Statements" implies that a number of people think he was involved.
Sherlock Scan: It's in the name, and in his day job as the world's greatest actual detective. Not that it helped him see through Ratigan; it's implied he saw what he wanted to see in the first person to offer him apparently no-strings friendship.
Sweet Tooth: Eats candy throughout his first appearance and in his second is stated to have run out before speaking. This actually appears to be some kind of nervous tick as he does it more when agitated and is probably tied with his substance abuse issues.
Uncertain Doom: In Part 4, Basil grabbed Greasy's gun to kill himself and Robin Hood tried to get it away from him. Lizzy and the Weasels escaped as it went off, so it's unknown which one was shot, if at all, and whether or not the one that did will live.
Kinky Role-Playing: He, Jasmine, and Aladdin often engage in BDSM roleplay. Most of their acts seem to be Mythology Gags relating to the original film, like Aladdin playing a spoiled prince, Jasmine playing a captured princess, and Gene behaves as their beleaguered servant.
Meaningful Name: "The Compliant Comedian" is an actual comedian whose assault occurred as the result of unsafe BDSM, without a safeword.
Safe, Sane, and Consensual: He and his partners were trying to engage in safe BDSM, but a massive error happened when they began playing and berating Gene before Gene was comfortably in character.
Meaningful Name: "Two Nine" was assaulted by a gang known as the 28s, and the important part of his story to him is that "now I'm more than them".
Politically Incorrect Hero: Somewhat justified with his backstory and age; he's still uneasy around black men, and slips up regarding the Transgender Kenai's correct gender. He is trying to do better, though.
Trauma Button: The Die Antwoord song "Cookie Thumper" triggers him because of the references to the gangs that raped him.
The Caballerinos - Red (Huey Duck), Blue (Dewey Duck), Green (Louie Duck), and Purple (Webby Vanderquack)
Ambiguously Gay: It's hinted that Webby might have a thing for Lena, but all Webby states is that she is worried about the cult going after her.
Line-of-Sight Name: All they can think of to call themselves is the colour of their clothes.
Meaningful Name: Semi-averted; they're only at the Palace because they followed their uncles, join on the spur of the moment, and assign themselves names based on what colour they're wearing.
Questionable Consent: Minty and Jubilee offer to back off, but Dewey is confused as to why he wants them to and thinks he should just power through it.
Adaptational Heroism: In film canon, this character is definitely a villain, albeit a more sympathetic one. In the fic, she's purely a victim of her abusive ex-wife and is a supportive figure to all the Palace members. Even though she's a chicken farmer, she's much more sympathetic towards animals than in canon, working as a veterinary assistant.
Adaptation Name Change: Her name is Wilhelmina here. One can only assume she had it changed from her canon name because she’s trans.
Hollywood Heart Attack: Suffers a rapid-onset heart attack when Wallace is shot, Gromit is kidnapped and raped, and the long-lost biological daughter she didn't know existed turns up after escaping from a human trafficking ring, all within a few hours.
Kindly Vet: Veterinary assistant, technically, but same trope.
The Kindnapper: Namedropped; she literally dragged Dodger to her home to keep him safe from the Ark and refused to let the rest of the gang leave when they tried to rescue him.
Mama Bear: She is fiercely protective of her adoptive children, and seeing them in danger is one of the few things to send her into a fury.
Meaningful Name: "The Bride of Sorrow" is a trans woman who was abused because of this by her ex-wife.
Naughty by Night: She's very polite and motherly in public, which makes it a shock when "Sex and Silliness" reveals her to be a Dominatrix who likes seeing her equally-innocent husband bound up in leather.
Rescue Romance: Her fiancé picked her up while she was hitchhiking, offering her a job and a place to stay. They’re currently happily engaged in the present day.
Team Mom: There's a whole side story about her taking various group members with unsupportive families under her wing. Even when she doesn't outright adopt the kids, she's a very maternal and supportive figure for younger members.
The Atoner: goes to the Palace at first because she's trying to find a way to make up for her part in hurting Merida.
Meaningful Name: "Dame Gessler" had an unintentional part in her daughter's rape and she brings up that said daughter is an archer and that they used to read the story "William Tell," the villain of which is named "Gessler."
Politically Incorrect Hero: Averted. Elinor explains that she had no problems with Merida being asexual and the reason she wanted her to go out with Hans was so she would be more ladylike.
Boo the Monster Scarer (Boo) and Kitty (James P. Sullivan)
Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting: According to "Campfire Stories", Randal was abused by his mother who was abused by her mother, before he, in turn, abused Boo. Sulley's not letting it continue any further.
Cute Mute: Boo can talk, but doesn't usually and most of what she says is monosyllabic and/or hard to make out. A darker take on this than most as the two most likely reasons for this in-universe seem to be her mother using drugs while pregnant and/or the trauma of her abuse.
Disappeared Dad: Boo's biological dad walked out on her mom because he wasn't ready to be a father.
Lecherous Stepparent: Randall is reworked as Boo's mentally ill, drug addicted stepfather who sexually abused her.
Meaningful Name: "Boo the Monster Scarer" is too young to really conceptualize what happened to her, so she depicts her abuser as a monster in her drawings. "Kitty" is what she calls Sulley.
Papa Wolf: Sulley is fostering Boo and was enraged when he found out that his own coworker Randal was her abuser.
Protectorate: Sully has made it his mission to protect Boo. She also seems to be this to Vitani of all people.
Trauma Button: Due to Randall abusing her, Boo gets upset when she hears her real name "Mary" and also screams when she sees a photo of him. She also gets very unnerved about the closet door in Sulley's room because in her old home, the door placed there led to Randall's room.
The Heiress to Spit (Vitani) and Sire of Termites (Nuka)
Big Brother Instinct: Nuka seems to have this towards Vitani. Kovu? Not so much... For her part, Vitani seems to have a serious case of big sister instinct towards Boo.
Death of a Child: Nuka was murdered by the remnants of GWF. During Part 3, the Palace mourn him as Milo tells his story.
From the Mouths of Babes: Vitani asks a lot of questions and makes comments above her age, talking freely about cheating and the instances of pedophilia she's seen. When asked what her full title is at one point, she eagerly yells "Shit!"
Giver of Lame Names: Mary doesn't let Nuka make "Termite" Kovu's official Palace nickname.
Gosh Darn It to Heck!: It's implied in "Palace Grounds" that Vitani's Palace nickname was going to be "Heiress to Shit". One presumes Mary vetoed it.
Man Bites Man: Vitani often bites people for fun. Played for Drama in Part 4 when she bites Wiggins' fingers off for trying to kidnap her.
Meaningful Name: "The Heiress to Spit" is implied to have originally been "Heiress to Shit" referencing the family losing everything after Scar's arrest. "Sire of Termites" is the father of his own half-brother who he seems to resent a lot over this. It's also a nod to canon where he calls him "Termite."
Nightmare Fetishist: Vitani is very into blood and dead things, and likes to think of herself as a cannibal.
Paste Eater: Vitani eats paper and crayons, partly because Zira doesn't feed the kids properly and partly to annoy or amuse the other kids.
Precocious Crush: Vitani tries to propose to Kuzco with a half-eaten ring pop and is disappointed to be turned down.
Scary Teeth: Boo's drawing of Vitani gives her a massive smile of sharp fangs. Unlike the wings, Vitani doesn't specifically request these, making it unclear whether she has sharp teeth in real life or they're just meant to represent her aggressive nature.
Spoiled Brat: Albeit a more sympathetic example than most; she's shown acting like a brat before the incident with her aunt, and afterwards directs her pain into hurting Lilo, though she's now a lot less ungrateful to her mother.
Unreliable Narrator: Spends her story praising her aunt and talking about how much fun she had at her place. The truth is that her aunt was very abusive to her. It takes her a while to come to terms with that.
The Animals - The Road Dog (Alberto), the Mother Cat (Maisie), the Grass Snake (Murgatroyd), the Monkey at the Keyboard (Sebastian), and the Rat (Ratso)
Meaningful Name: Their names refer to their favorite animals and most of them, except Ratso, have a prefix/suffix that refers to what happened in their stories; Alberto hitchhiked and was almost assaulted by the driver, Maisie's pregnant from a sexual attack, Murgatroyd smoked weed and was assaulted while high, Sebastian had a stroke and was abused by the staff in a nursing home, and Ratso lived in squalor with his abusive family members.
Nothing Is Scarier: Sebastian knows that the care home physically abused him, but doesn't know whether or not sexual abuse occurred.
Disposable Sex Worker: In-universe, not advocated by the writers; her assailants don't bother to hide their faces, implying either they planned to kill her or didn't think she'd be believed, and the cops indeed don't care.
Ethical Slut: She's a camgirl and stripper, and quite content with it.
Meaningful Name: "La Coquette Jacinthe" ("the hyacinth flirt") wears all blue and was assaulted for being both attractive and a sex worker.
Homophobic Hate Crime: The bear from the movie, here one of the remnants of GWF, assaulted him for his crush on Copper and for trying to "corrupt" him.
Interrupted Suicide: When he tried to jump off a bridge due to a misunderstanding with Copper, Vixie talked him out of it.
Meaningful Name: "Herne the Hunted" is apparently a Discworld fan and was 'hunted' down in the woods by what is implied to be a member of GWF.
Big Brother Instinct: Towards Kenai, as well as Nuka, Vitani and Kovu. To a lesser extent all the kids at the Palace. There's a whole intermission dedicated to showcasing this. For example he basically attempts to kidnap Nuka and his siblings to protect them from Zira.
Meaningful Name: "The Wrathful Wiseman" still has his totem of wisdom here, and is plotting the murder of his brother's assailants.
Knight Templar Big Brother: Is willing to break the law and to outright kill in order to get Kenai back.
Meaningful Name: "Mistress Moonlight" is an actual mistress, having cheated on her abusivehusband and had an illegitimate child with her lover who she usually could only make time to see at night. She also has pure white hair and has for a while.
Parental Favoritism: Favored Unalaq over Tonraq due to their fathers. Unfortunately, Unalaq didn't exactly live up to his status.
Sympathetic Adulterer: Cheated on Hahn with Sokka for a period of years but isn't portrayed negatively for it. Kind of justified given Hahn was an abusiverapist.
The Little Girl (Agatha Prenderghast) and the Spirit Speaker (Norman Babcock)
Homophobic Hate Crime: The cult attacked August and Agatha, the latter getting murdered, for not being straight.
Meaningful Name: "The Spirit Speaker" is traumatized second hand, by the story his uncle told him about the murder and rape of his aunt at the hands of God's Will First. "The Little Girl" died young.
Break the Cutie: Previously a very naive and cheerful girl, she's now so traumatized that she can barely look at the audience while she's onstage.
Meaningful Name: "The Queen of Hearts" was wooed and tricked into meeting a False Friend and her story features a recurring heart motif.
Trauma Button: It's implied that she can't stand rape scenes in fiction well after her gang rape, as she asks that Kyle tag his fanfiction for noncon because she's "not so great" with that subject matter.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: After being trapped in the trunk of her assailants' car, she's terrified of the dark.
Meaningful Name: "The Swan of Hope" references the story of the ugly duckling, bringing up how she was attacked for her physical appearance in school. The "Hope" part comes from her belief that things will get better for both her and her stepsister who was attacked for being pretty.
Former Child Star: The reason he was targeted was because he used to be a famous child actor, and it would make a better tabloid story.
Meaningful Name: "The Star of Slander" is a Former Child Star who was slandered repeatedly by a tabloid reporter and almost framed for being a pedophile just to make a good story. Later it's revealed he was assaulted by the corrupt cops, and said nothing because people would assume he was slandering them for attention.
The Needs of the Many: He's angry about what happened, but prefers everyone hating him to some other celebrity getting away with heinous actions.
Pædo Hunt: False evidence is planted on his computer to vilify him as a pedophile.
Slipping a Mickey: Cecil drugged Bugs in order to plant evidence in his house.
Tabloid Melodrama: A tabloid targeted and spread lies about him, so he called Cecil to his house to prove he was a normal guy, leading to Cecil trying to frame him for pedophilia to get a better story.
Meaningful Name: "The Painter of Palates" is a cook with synesthesia. He's taken to overeating to drown out the 'sound' of date rape drugs/of Ratigan orally assaulting him.
Tastes Like Purple: He has synaesthesia. According to him, oral rape tastes like the sound of scraping metal.
Post-Stress Overeating: As well as the usual reasons, he's trying to block out the memory of the taste and phantom sound of what happened to him.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: He didn't tell his father what happened for fear of disappointing him. He eventually does in "Cat Out of The Bag" and Django isn't mad at him at all.
Forced to Watch: Wendy hides underneath a bed at Peter's house and has to witness Hook, here his father, abuse him.
Meaningful Name: "The Bard of Truth" saved her friend by revealing to her parents that his father was molesting him.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In "Cat Out of the Bag", her father immediately knows she's not just making up a story, because it would never have occurred to her to make up a parent who would hurt their child.
Crisis of Faith: After her abortion, she left the Catholic church and is looking for a new one.
Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Played with. She does go through with one, it's done safely by a kindly and competent doctor, and she doesn't really regret it, but it causes her to suffer a lot of second-guessing and guilt, and to lose her Catholic faith.
Meaningful Name: "The Dancer Dolorosa" was a devout Catholic who was assaulted by another member of the church for being a stripper and thus a "whore", though she was actually a virgin waiting for marriage. She later had an abortion which goes against her Catholic faith. "Dolorosa" is a Catholic title for the Virgin Mary, meaning "sorrowful".
Crippling Castration: GWF beat them so badly their womb ruptured and had to be removed.
Meaningful Name: "The Shifting Wix" refers to their status as a nonbinary person who experimented with passing as a boy. "Wix" is a gender-neutral term for Witch/Wizard.
Shout-Out: The situation of their assault is taken from Nick Cave's "Do You Love Me: Part 2".
Trans Tribulations: They are nonbinary and experience some gender dysphoria and insecurity as a result. They confide in Ratigan, who manipulates this trust to rape them, gendering them as a boy the whole time to further confuse their emotions.
"Which Restroom?" Dilemma: Briefly referenced; they debate between the gendered ones before hiding in the unisex disabled-friendly cubicle.
Black Sheep: The only non-prodigy among the Robinsons. Downplayed since he knows that he's loved and accepted but flashbacks still depict the discord caused by this.
Meaningful Name: "The Baron of Blessings" is a reference to his mother telling him that even if he wasn't a prodigy like other members of the family, he was still their "greatest gift." This is also his motivation for keeping what happened to him a secret since it would hurt his parents to know the truth.
Revenge by Proxy: The reason Goob and Ratigan assaulted him. The former because Cornelius ruined his baseball game which he views as the reason he was never adopted and eventually taken by the Ark. The latter does it because he was unable to assault Cornelius.
Creepy Twins: This is probably a result of the abuse they experienced, though flashbacks reveal that they were pretty creepy even before. They talk about morbid things, speak in monotone and have virtually no reaction to things that should cause emotional distress like their sexual abuse by their father and their mother's death.
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Averted as Eska's treatment of Bolin here is played more realistically than it was in canon and while Eska is still very pitiable, the narrative doesn't treat what she did as being at all justified.
Meaningful Name: "Izanami and Izanagi" take the names of sibling creator deities who had many children together; here they're twins that were abused by their father and forced to participate in each other's abuse as well, resulting in two aborted pregnancies. Said deities created the world from water, and in their canon the twins are Waterbenders and there's a running water motif in the story.
Near-Rape Experience: Eska almost raped Bolin in a fit of rage, but stops herself at the last minute. Understandably, he hasn't spoken to her since then.
Twin Threesome Fantasy: Actually done, made decidedly unsexy by the fact that it's nonconsensual, they're ten, and it's with their dad.
Child by Rape: Mort is a result of rape by God's Will First.
Related in the Adaptation: Here, Mort is his kid. In canon, Mort's an adult, but the writers note that an adult human behaving the way Mort does would be creepy.
Meaningful Name: "DJ Ringtail" is just a reference to his canon self, but his deadname is given as Giselle, which is derived from the Germanic word "gisil", meaning "hostage", which he was. He named the resulting son Mort, which in French (one of the main languages of Madagascar) means "death".
The Atoner: Trying desperately to make up for what she did to Bagheera.
Innocent Bigot: She was raised by Jacques Schnee, who had... unfavourable views towards anyone who wasn't white. She's still trying to work past it, especially after unknowingly saying some very offensive things to her white-passing Desi friend Blake. This complicates her self-blame about accidentally accusing the also Desi Bagheera, though he actually does look a lot like the man who really assaulted her above and beyond being the same race.
Meaningful Name: "The White Knight" is an Innocent Bigot who mistook the wrong man for her rapist due to them being the same race. She's trying very hard to make up for that.
Racial Face Blindness: Bagheera and Shere Khan are both Indian men, and Weiss mistook one for the other. To be fair, though, she only saw Shere Khan in the dark, and their faces look similar even apart from their race.
Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Deconstructed. Because he's so spacy and spends so much time having weird daydreams, his babysitter Ricky was able to take advantage of him and gaslight him into believing he dreamt it up.
Gaslighting: Ricky constantly told him he was only imagining what was being done to him.
Meaningful Name: "The Daydreaming Delusionist" was a victim of Gaslighting and convinced by his abuser that he was only imagining what had happened to him.
Beware the Nice Ones: Smashed Hopper's head in with a rock after Hopper raped him. He didn't mean to kill him, but still...
Big Brother Instinct: Towards Dot. Like in canon, she's the one who talks him into going back to help.
Meaningful Name: "The Diamond in the Rough" was overlooked/looked down upon by his hometown, but ended up saving the mayor's life when she was threatened by the Grasshoppers, here a biker gang, and he killed the leader (albeit accidentally) with a rock after he raped him which no one expected, not even him.
I Just Want to Be Loved: Coraline felt neglected because her parents were too busy to pay attention to her.
Meaningful Name: "The Water Witch" fell into a well along with her abuser during a struggle, but she was able to stay afloat while the Other Mother drowned. She references the floating test used by Puritans to determine whether someone was a witch or not.
Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Her story/chapter serves as a sequel to Eleanor's and much of the drama between the two stems from the fact that they have very little in common.
Date Rape: Hans takes her on a date and seems to actually get along with her great, but it's just a pretense to drug her drink and assault her.
The Lad-ette: Part of why she butts heads with her mother so often. Eleanor is a Proper Lady whereas Merida is... not, and wouldn't want to be.
Meaningful Name: "The War Maiden" is a scrappy fighter, and found her title in a Skyrim game she played a lot during her recovery.
One of the Boys: Her only female friend at school appears to be Mulan (though she seems to get along with Ariel pretty well inside the group) and all her other friends are guys.
The Dragons - The Quarterback (Mitch Downe), the Warrior (Fa Mulan), and the Captain (Li Shang)
Axes at School: A student at the high school they went to brought a gun and tried to kill people, but they stopped him before he could seriously hurt anyone.
Daddy's Girl: Mulan loves her dad and originally wanted to join the football team because football was important to him and she wanted to share his interests.
Jackie Robinson Story: Girls are excluded from the football team, so Mulan has to sneak in in drag. It's unclear if she's allowed to stay on the team after the reveal.
Meaningful Name: "The Dragons" named their group after the football team they play on, and the individual names of "the Captain" and "the Quarterback" are the positions they play.
Passionate Sports Girl: Mulan originally got into football to bond with her dad, but found she really loved it.
Sweet on Polly Oliver: Variation; Shang is explicitly bi and originally attracted to "Ping" as well as the real Mulan.
Sweet Polly Oliver: Mulan dressed up as Ping to play on the school football team, since her school doesn't have one for girls.
True Companions: The three have known each other since childhood and bonded over football.
Unsettling Gender-Reveal: It's certainly unsettling for Si and Am, who try to claim "Ping" raped one of them and got her pregnant to discredit "him" if he tried to report them smoking weed in the school bathroom.
Adaptational Job Change: Instead of pressuring him to be a bullfighter like everyone else, Manolo's family were all in the army and expected him to be too, since bullfighting is illegal in the USA.
Driven to Suicide: …hoo boy, where to start with this one. Manolo didn’t enlist in the army after it was more or less expected of him in his family, causing estrangement. Then Maria, his childhood friend, get stabbed and flat out murdered because of a mugger, with Joaquin blaming him for the murder and even though he later apologizes, it obviously weighs heavily on Manolo’s mind. Then he gets messages from this PR fellow that ultimately make him feel worse, to the point he agrees to a suicide pact. And then we all know what happens when PR wants to get alone with someone… It’s a good thing he survived, but it’s no wonder he attempted.
Meaningful Name: "The Angel of Music" is a musician who almost killed himself after a loved one died in an incident he blamed himself for, which was used by Ratigan to groom him.
