(NOTE: This is just going by physical characteristics and pictures I have on DA, not the stories I wrote in which they appear.)
•The Mascot-Octavia, who, prior to the "Niftytar" was actually the mascot for my DeviantArt page.
•Amazing Technicolor Population-Waaaaaaay too many examples to list. Often paired with You Gotta Have Blue Hair and maybe Technicolor Eyes.
•Sibling Team-Mina and Nina, Opus and Florence, and the three Katherines.
•Camp Straight-Viktor Petrov, my gosh, Viktor Petrov. Opus has his moments, too.
•Short Hair With Tail-Trudy Gedman III and Thea Waldseemüller.
•Green is Blue-Some people initially thought Opus was blue-skinned, but he's really aqua green.
•Genius Cripple-Allegra. Thea, maybe.
•Nerd Glasses-Most of my characters, perhaps the majority.
*Meganekko-Girls with glasses usually have cool pointy ones.
•Nice Hat-Florence (beanie), Umbrella (umbrella hat), Yucky (propeller beanie), Allegra (princess cap), Forsythia (beret), Leon (whoopie cap), Betsy (newspaper hat), Lucretia (mind reading helm), and Miranda (panda-themed baseball cap).
•Mega Twintails-Plutonia Jovian, whose are based on those of Hatsune Miku. Wendy Walsh has them, too.
•Does Not Like Shoes-Quadesia Surya has never been shown wearing shoes, not even in the Christmas drawings. She did wear shoes as a child, however. The reason for Quadi lacking footwear is because I wanted to practice drawing human feet.
•Good Hair, Evil Hair-Not used a lot because most of my OCs have whatever hairdos they have as a result of personal choice rather than morality. However, Opus is a rare heroic example of a character with a pompadour, however in my artwork, this style is shorthand for a Cloud Cuckoolander and indicates madness to some degree. Mr. Petrov has a mullet because it symbolizes his character-the short hair in the front means that he acts like a normal guy, but since Long Hair is Feminine, the long hair in the back shows that he's a little effeminate.
•Megane-Owen. Zebulon, too.
•Age-Inappropriate Dress-Minor example with 13-year-old Zebulon Zanes, who wears a freaking BUSINESS SUIT. He despises it and just wants to dress like a normal teenager.
•Four-Fingered Hands-Averted with Opus Olivewood, his sister Florence, and his father, who have six fingers on each hand and six toes per foot.
•Beehive Hairdo-Madame Rosenbloom, and Amoré when she's a teenager and young adult, as shown in the future. Francine and Octavia have also worn their hair like this before.
•The Lad-ette-Miranda.
•Gadgeteer Genius-Martina "Umbrella" Thorndike, of course. Lucretia, too, and Octavia in shades.
•Girlish Pigtails-Miranda and several females in The Jitterbugs.
•Creepy Long Fingers-THE. ENTIRE. CAST.
•Embarassing Middle Name-Umbrella's middle name is Wallis. No, really.
•Aerith and Bob-Names range from Owen to Zebulon, from Wendy (although it's short for Wendelin) to Hepishibah (Principal Shelley's first name in The Jitterbugs), and similarly, last names range from Phillips to Waldseemüller.
•Wild Hair-The Twins, Mina and Nina, have braids that stick up in every direction. Sidwell's curly blonde hair hangs down to her knees and looks impossible to brush.
•Theme Naming-Mina and Nina's older sister is named Gina. This does not extend to their parents, Nyla and Marcus.
•Anachronism Stew-My stories are set in The New Tens, and so characters wear T-shirts, pants or skirts, and sneakers or ballet flats, but their hairdos look like they came from the '50's or '80's. Outdated clothing, such as elevator shoes, is common.
•Tooth Strips-Averted. Octavia and some other characters have them, but most have lines drawn to separate teeth. Characters such as Zsa-Zsa Starbeam and Yvette sometimes have several teeth missing (justified, as the former is at the age where she begins losing her baby teeth and the latter is crazy about sugar).
•Heroic Albino-Owen Culèbrion.
•White Mask of Doom-Dinah Derkins has one with a fixed plastic grin and hollow eye sockets.
•Youthful Freckles-Most Jitterbugs characters and Yvette K. Zipperstein.
•The Grotesque-Thea Waldseemüller is a rare female example.
•Too Important to Walk-One picture has Jupiter like this.
•Strange Girl-Yvette and Zsa-Zsa.
•Hot Skitty-on-Wailord Action-Thea and Ezra, despite being both human.
