Color-Coded Characters: Each Character has a color associated with them, most notably the color of their Lifeforce seen in their Job art and their corresponding weapons:.Color Character: Snow White, symbolizing her purity with the connotation of emptiness, and Red Riding Hood, symbolizing her spirited and violent nature.Classified Information: Most if not all of the characters' concept art that's shared on the internet has some blacked out text.Special mention goes to Red Riding Hood and Little Match Girl for being associated with "Brutality" and "Hellfire" respectively.
Anyone Can Die: Three words - Act of Elimination.
While Red Riding Hood (Brutality) is indeed an Ax-Crazy Combat Sadomasochist, and Dorothy (Curiosity) is a monomaniacal Mad Scientist, Rapunzel (Chastity) is a gigantic Covert Pervert, and Cinderella (Depravity) can be downright wholesome under certain circumstances. The Library versions of the characters in particular are supernatural beings who are closely associated with particular concepts, although they're not completely and universally defined by them. Anthropomorphic Personification: Downplayed.Additionally, these alternate versions do count in the Characters' mission to gather enough lifeforce to revive their authors, so they're highly encouraged to fight even themselves to the death if and when they're encountered. For example, the Alice we follow is not the same Alice in Alice, Another and the same event has numerous versions of her. Alternate Self: The Library is large enough of a multiverse that multiple versions of the same character can be found.They tend to have more tragic backstories, less Kick the Dog moments, and more reasonable objectives - most of them are simply fighting the Nightmares to survive rather than slaughtering them for personal gain. A Lighter Shade of Black: While some of them are still quite nasty, most of the alternative versions of the characters from the Act of Reality are less villainous and more sympathetic than the standard Library versions.
