* CainAndAbel: She murders both of her sisters at the end of ''Tooie'' without a second thought.



* HeelFaceTurn: Was a mentor to Grunty until she turned his face into a skull.


Added DiffLines:

* DeadpanSnarker: He's witty enough to keep up with Kazooie and match her insults blow-for-blow.


Added DiffLines:

* FriendToAllChildren: He's introduced as a friend of the young Tooty and even has two kids of his own.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassToOne: Bottles is a pretty pleasant guy, yet he constantly bickers with and insults Kazooie. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since Kazooie instigated it the ''first time they met'', resulting in him having a sour opinion of her from then on.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceGuy: He's [[FriendToAllChildren kind to Tooty]] and immediately befriends Banjo, offering to teach him and Kazooie some moves for no personal benefit. He even congratulates the duo whenever they achieve a new record for their Musical Notes.


Added DiffLines:

* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Often trades jabs and insults with Kazooie, much to Banjo's chagrin.

Added DiffLines:

* HeroicComedicSociopath: Kazooie is apathetic towards others at best and downright ''cruel'' most of the time, yet all of it is PlayedForLaughs and Banjo keeps her firmly on the side of good.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassRealization: A minor one, but after Banjo calls her out for [[SpeakIllOfTheDead insulting the recently deceased Bottles]], Kazooie quickly backtracks and apologizes.

Added DiffLines:

* HatesEveryoneEqually: Aside from [[MoralityChain Banjo]], Kazooie has no problem insulting anyone she comes across, regardless of species.


Added DiffLines:

* LackOfEmpathy: Kazooie's loyalties lie with Banjo, and Banjo alone. She doesn't particularly care about anyone else they encounter unless it furthers their goals.
-->'''Lord Woo Fak Fak:''' You were going to steal my Jiggy and drain my home, leaving me to flap pathetically around on the bottom until I shriveled up and died. Weren't you?
-->'''Kazooie:''' Something like that.

Added DiffLines:

* KickTheDog: She's hostile towards almost everyone in general, but special mention goes to when she insults Bottles right after watching him die. She quickly apologizes, though.
-->'''Kazooie:''' He wasn't the favorite character in ''Banjo-Kazooie'' anyway...
-->'''Banjo:''' [[DudeNotFunny Kazooie!]]
-->'''Kazooie:''' Sorry...

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He's initially a NiceGuy whose easygoing affability balances out Kazooie's aggressive snarkiness. While these traits never quite go away, Banjo becomes noticeably snarkier with each passing game, albeit still not the same extent as Kazooie.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Unlike Kazooie, Banjo jumps at the opportunity to help others, even when he doesn't know there's a Jiggy involved.



* DudeNotFunny: Frequently has this reaction to Kazooie's inappropriate snark.
-->'''Kazooie:''' ''(after watching Bottles die right in front of her)'' [[SpeakIllOfTheDead He wasn't the favorite character in]] ''[[SpeakIllOfTheDead Banjo-Kazooie]]'' [[SpeakIllOfTheDead anyway...]]
-->'''Banjo:''' ''([[EveryoneHasStandards appalled]])'' Kazooie!



* EveryoneHasStandards: He puts up with a lot of Kazooie's snark, but is willing to put his foot down whenever she goes too far, particularly when she insults Bottles after the latter is ''murdered'' right in front of them.



* IdiotHero: He's scatterbrained and simpleminded, but he has a big heart and goes out of his way to help anyone he can.



* TookALevelInJerkass: Downplayed; he's still mostly nice, but he appears to be a lot more sharp-tongued and snarky in ''Tooie'' than the original. It's partly because he and Kazooie both speak more often than they did in the first game, and all of their dialogue when split up was designed to fit either character.

* WhatTheHellHero: Her tendency to insult others causes the more kind-hearted, polite and good-natured Banjo to scold her a few times when she goes too far.

* AbusiveParents: Mrs. Boggy doesn't seems to mind Banjo hitting Moggy, and is even seen giving Groggy a smack herself. Boggy himself is just extremely neglectful, abandoning his children at Christmas in order to go sledding instead of buying them presents, and will actively look forward to a dirty magazine ''right next to his wife''.
