• Character Blog: His own troper's page.
• Covert Pervert: He mentions being familiar with NWWL in an offhand comment.

• Art Evolution: Compare his final design with his very first appearance.
• Barrier Warrior: He seems to focus his summoning on shields and walls.
• Bishonen: after his redesign

Peter Potter aka Pete

• Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Not an extreme example but compare him to Keysha. There's quite a difference in size.

• Odd Couple: He's Keysha's boyfriend.
• Ugly Guy Hot Girlfriend: He's not really ugly, but as far as the male cast is concerned, he's not very handsome, to say the least. Keysha on the other hand...
