The New Adventures of The Sweet Treets/Characters

Louise

 * Action Girl:
 * Downplayed. She isn't exactly badass, but when the time calls for it, she won't hesitate.
 * Alliterative Name:
 * Louise Lockridge is her full name.
 * Big Eater:
 * She is often depicted as having a huge appetite, something others, usually Nate, often comment on.
 * Bratty Half-Pint:
 * She only acts like it in school, however.
 * Butt-Monkey:
 * Aside from her friends, not a lot of people give her respect, and she is regularly prone to getting blamed through misunderstandings.
 * Cheerful Child:
 * Even in less desirable situations, she is still fairly happy-go-lucky.
 * Gender-Equal Ensemble:
 * With her three best friends Marilyn, Nate and Hugh. Averted when Zoe or Swoop join in, but played straight when both of them do.
 * The Hero:
 * She is essentially the main protagonist of the entire show, even if her name is not in the title.
 * Heroic BSoD:
 * Happens in series three when Magfire gives an antidote so she can save one, and only one, of her friends that were infected by a plague he started.
 * Innocently Insensitive:
 * It's usually what causes most of the conflicts she is in.
 * Platonic Life-Partners:
 * Zigzagged. She will try to have a Relationship Upgrade with Nate from time to time, but it never quite works out.
 * Rebellious Spirit:
 * She likes to get up to mischief in school, though this is mostly a reaction over being treated unfairly.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni:
 * The red to Nate's blue.
 * Spotlight-Stealing Squad:
 * Starting in this show, Louise really begins to steal the spotlight from the Treets. They have became recurring extras compared to her.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl:
 * The girly girl to Marilyn's tomboy.
 * Took a Level in Dumbass:
 * She is much more naive, gullible and hotheaded than her 1984 incarnation.
 * Trademark Favourite Food:
 * Chips/french fries.

The Treets

 * Demoted to Extra:
 * They spend most of series one and two being recurring extras, with only some of the episodes having them play a meaningful role. Mostly averted in series three, however.
 * Flat Characters:
 * They don't seem to have the brain power to develop a proper personality outside what their main purpose is - to assist Louise in her living.
 * The Mute:
 * They can make sound effects, but can't talk.

Liane

 * Dark and Troubled Past:
 * Grew up as an orpahn, losing both her parents and the Golden Treet at a young age, and clearly still suffers from it to this day.
 * Good Parent:
 * She clearly cares a lot about her daughter, even if she is very clingy.
 * Lazy Bum:
 * She spends a lot of time in her house and pretty much only ever leaves to entertain or walk Louise to school. She even sometimes gets Swoop to do those on occasions.
 * Odd Friendship:
 * With King Rojo, even if their late parents didn't get along.

Swoop

 * Advertised Extra:
 * Despite appearing in every episode and being prominently featured in promotional artwork, he only has a significant role in roughly a quarter of the episodes. The rest just have him sitting in the background and/or showing up in one scene to give somebody (usually Louise or Liane) advice.
 * Averted in series three, however, where he plays a much larger role.
 * The Comically Serious:
 * He still has funny lines despite being serious.
 * Dumbass No More:
 * He is much more intelligent and less silly than his previous incarnatiom, who was practically a Butt-Monkey.
 * Talking Animal:
 * He is a parrot fully capable of human speech.
 * Took a Level in Kindness:
 * Even when he pulled a Heel-Face Turn in the previous show, he was still snarky and impatient. Here, he is depicted as more understanding, sensible and wise.

Nate

 * Alliterative Name:
 * His full name is Nate Nicholson.
 * Ambiguously Bi:
 * He is very effeminate, yet is not above flirting with Louise and Marilyn. The fact that he has a homosexual cousin helps matters too.
 * Distressed Dude:
 * In this show alone, he is kidnapped by King Rojo, Miss Fredericksburg and Magfire all at least once. He is held hostage by Magfire again in the Game Boy Color game.
 * Flanderisation:
 * His girly traits from the 1984 series are played to the extreme here; he soeaks in a girly voice, likes flowers, hates rough activities, acts as the know-it-all voice of reason, wears a shoulder bag and leggings, refers to his father as "Daddy" and even acts the quietest and most cutesy member of his group of friends.
 * Truth in Television. Boys with effeminate quirks and personality traits like Nate was a thing in Kuboia that was really catching on in the early and mid 1990s.
 * The Lancer / Deuteragonist:
 * He is Louise's best friend and accompanies her at school the most. He also foils her in a lot of ways, as she is optimistic, hyperactive and hot-headed, whilst he is shy, soft-spoken and sensible.
 * Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy:
 * The feminine boy the Marilyn's masculine girl.
 * Not So Above It All:
 * Even he can't resist joining in with Louise and Gunge's exciting activities from time to time. In addition, Nate is prone to his more arrogant phases and goof ups.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni:
 * The blue oni to Louise's red.
 * Spoiled Sweet:
 * Is clearly pampered by his parents, but that is arguably what makes him so sweet.
 * True Blue Femininity:
 * He wears dark blue leggins.

Marilyn

 * Alliterative Name:
 * In line with her friends - her full name is Marilyn Madison.
 * Ascended Extra:
 * She only has a leading role in a few episodes of series one, but really starts to get more focus in series two.
 * Daddy's Girl:
 * Surprisingly so. She actually has a very good relationship with her father, comparible to one Louise has with her mother.
 * Fatal Flaw:
 * His irritable and impulsive nature gets the better of her regularly.
 * Heroic BSoD:
 * Has one in the first series when she feels she has been pushing her friends away when they are trying to help her.
 * The Lancer:
 * She foils Louise in a lot of aspects - Marilyn is has a no-nonsense attitude and is regularly grumpy compared to Louise, who is much more cheerful and carefree.
 * Missing Mum:
 * Her mother died when she was very young. As such, her maternal auntie Ruth has since played a mother-like role to her.
 * Not So Above It All:
 * She has the tendency to criticise Louise for her playful and giggly nature in series one. When she develops a crush on Hugh, however, she ends up becoming just like her. Even after she decides that she and Hugh are better off as friends, she then ends up repeating the cycle after getting to know Nate better.
 * Red Is Violent:
 * Largely downplayed. She wears a red top and bauble, and is only somewhat aggressive.
 * Somewhat averted since her player colour in the video games is grey (to match the cardigan and miniskirt she often wears) - red is given to Louise instead.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl:
 * The tomboy to Louise's girly girl. It is even played straight with Anthem.
 * Took a Level in Kindness:
 * She becomes a more sensible person in the later portion of the second series, where she is a lot less impulsive, gets along with Louise much better and doesn't let Anthem get to her as much.

In general

 * Amazing Technicolour Wildlife:
 * They are dark blue bear-like creatures for crying out loud!
 * Evil Is One Big, Happy Family:
 * They actually get along and care for each other a lot.
 * Remember the New Guys?:
 * The show treats them as if they were always here. We do learn a bit more about where they came from later on, however.
 * Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonists:
 * They usually take this form in the B-plot of the episode.

King Rojo

 * 100% Adoration Rating:
 * Much like Bowser, his subjects follow him out of loyalty, not fear. They actually see him as a role model and actually want the best for him. He is shown to return the same care to them too.
 * Affably Evil:
 * In spite of his underhanded schemes, he is actually a fun guy to be around.
 * Anti-Villain:
 * Zigzagged. Although most of his plans are simply him being greedy, he has a few schemes in series two that are done out of fear that his subjects will starve or be homeless if he doesn't do it.
 * Arch-Enemy / The Rival:
 * Easily Louise's most prominent and famous opponent. Unlike the 1984 series, however, it appears to be more a rivalry, and they get on with each other quite well when not competing.
 * Big Eater:
 * He certainly likes to indulge in junk food. It even inspires him to open up a fast food café.
 * Card-Carrying Villain:
 * Even if he is terrible at being one.
 * Demoted to Extra:
 * Big time. He only appears in just over half the episodes of series one and series two, and quite a few episodes have him involved in some B-plot that has nothing to do with the main storyline.
 * Evil Laugh:
 * He gives off an over-the-top version of these from time to time.
 * Evil Plan:
 * Usually something simple such as "get rich by robbing some public building" or "trick others into helping me rule some area of land".
 * Fat Bastard:
 * Downplayed. He is a bit overweight, but not exactly obese.
 * Harmless Villain:
 * He is so goofy and incompetent that he is difficult to take seriously, and most of people that he is up against know this. If you ever get into a fight with Rojo, chances are you won't have to do anything - he will take himself out.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold:
 * He is the absolute perfect example of this.
 * Manchild:
 * He is not very responsible and mature despite being the leader of his species, especially since some of his "evil schemes" are just childish pranks.
 * Plucky Comic Relief:
 * He often serves as the funny character who lightens up an otherwise drama-based plot.
 * Took a Level in Dumbass:
 * Remember the 1984 show, where he was a dangerous and competent threat? Don't go into this show expecting him to act anywhere near that.
 * Took a Level in Kindness:
 * It's part of his character development after all.
 * Villain Protagonist:
 * Typically plays this in the B-story of every episode.
 * Villain Song:
 * Gets one of these in series two.
 * Villainy-Free Villain:
 * He is a greedy king who steals from others, causes vandalism and is willing to do other misdeeds for profit, but clearly has lines he won't cross and is certainly not up for anybody getting hurt in his villainy.
