----
Characters from ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]'' include:
== Protagonists ==
 
=== Lucky Luke ===
{{quote|* Played by: Terence Hill in ''Lucky Luke'' (1991), Til Schweiger in ''Les Dalton'' (2004) and Jean Dujardin in ''Lucky Luke'' (2009)<br />
* Voiced by: Marcel Bozzuffi in ''Daisy Town'' (French), Daniel Ceccaldi in ''La Ballade des Dalton'' (French), Peter Wanngren (Swedish) }}
 
The title character, a lonesome cowboy far from home, drifting around the West. Being slow on words, but quick on reflexes, he's known to shoot faster than his own shadow.
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
=== Tropes: ===
* [[The Ace]]
* [[Badass]]
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: [[Oral Fixation Fixation|Until he replaced it with a wheatstalk.]] This has been [[Lampshaded]] and made fun of in both comics and adaptations.
** In the 2007 movie, ''Go West: A Lucky Luke Adventure'' there's a brief scene where he bonds with Native American Chief Crazy Wolf over the hardships of giving up smoking:
{{quote| '''Crazy Wolf:''' Ooooh, Crazy Wolf finally gave up smoking!<br />
'''Lucky Luke:''' Yep, me too!<br />
'''Crazy Wolf:''' Did you suffer from many cravings?<br />
'''Lucky Luke:''' Yep -- I had to chew on a piece of straw for a long time. }}
** In the 2009 live-action movie, there's a short scene playing during the [[Creative Closing Credits|closing credits]], where Lucky Luke is sitting with his back to the camera, smoking a cigarette. Then he realizes the camera is on him, does a double take, throws away the cigarette and replaces it with the familiar piece of straw before turning back to the audience and saying, somewhat sheepishly: "Hello! My name is Lucky Luke. I quit smoking back in '83. I feel much better now."
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
 
=== Jolly Jumper ===
{{quote|* Voiced by: Gunnar Ernblad (Swedish)}}
 
Lucky Luke's wisecracking horse and only partner to remain at the his side at all times.
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
=== Tropes: ===
* [[Animal Talk]]: Can converse freely with any other animal in the series, and talks to himself ([[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall|and by extension, the reader]]) a lot. Humans can't understand him, though Lucky Luke is hinted to at least get the general gist of it for the most part. In the 2009 movie, he's upgraded to [[Talking Animal]].
* [[Badass]]: By horse standards, definitely.
* [[Cool Horse]]
Line 44 ⟶ 45:
 
=== Rantanplan/Rin Tin Can ===
{{quote|* Voiced by: Peter Sjöquist (Swedish)}}
 
A dog known for being among the best prison guard dogs in the West -- a reputation that unfortunately is very exaggerated.
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
=== Tropes: ===
* [[Animal Talk]]: Talks mostly to himself, since no humans can understand what he says (then again, he has problems understanding what humans say as well).
* [[Big Eater]]
Line 57 ⟶ 58:
 
== Calamity Jane ==
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
=== Tropes ===
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Badass]]: not as much as Luke, but she gets close.
Line 74 ⟶ 75:
Lucky Luke's most featured adversaries and the most iconic outlaws of the series. They are, in fact, not the "real" Daltons (Bob, Grat, Bill and Emmet, who appeared in one early story and were killed off at the end of it), but their identical, if more incompetent cousins.
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
=== Tropes: ===
* [[Badass Mustache]]
* [[Breakout Character|Breakout Characters]]
* [[Character Exaggeration]]: In their first story, they came across as a little different; Joe as the hard-boiled leader, William as a [[Trigger Happy]] [[Gun Slinger]], William as a [[Master of Disguise]], and Averell as a strong and athletic -- if dense and food-obsessed -- [[The Brute|Brute]]. In subsequent stories, Joe remained mostly the same (though his [[Hair-Trigger Temper]] was enhanced quite a bit), Jack and William pretty much lost their individual traits and became full-time [[Co-Dragons]] to Joe, while Averell lost his strength and whatever competence he had and became more like a [[Minion Withwith an F In Evil]].
* [[Continuity Snarl]]: Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, William and Jack swap names. It happens first in their debut story (for the first half, William is the shorter and Jack the taller; then it switches in the second half, making William taller and Jack shorter), and in some stories afterwards. In the 2006 movie and the 2010 animated series, the two brothers' names are likewise swapped.
* [[The Dreaded]]
Line 89 ⟶ 90:
 
=== Joe Dalton ===
{{quote|* Voiced by: Johan Hedenberg (Swedish)}}
 
The oldest, but shortest, of the brothers and the mastermind of their various schemes and prison breaks.
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
=== Tropes: ===
* [[Arch Enemy]]: What the Joker is to Batman, Joe is to Lucky Luke.
* [[Berserk Button]]: When he hears Lucky Luke's name.
Line 112 ⟶ 113:
 
=== William Dalton ===
{{quote|* Voiced by: Peter Sjöquist (Swedish)}}
 
The second oldest Dalton brother. In a number of stories and adaptations mistakenly named "Jack."
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
=== Tropes: ===
* [[The Dragon]]
** [[Co-Dragons]]: With Jack.
Line 124 ⟶ 125:
 
=== Jack Dalton ===
{{quote|* Voiced by: Tommy Nilsson (Swedish)}}
 
The second youngest Dalton brother. In a number of stories and adaptations accidentally named "William."
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
=== Tropes: ===
* [[The Dragon]]
** [[Co-Dragons]]: With William.
Line 136 ⟶ 137:
 
=== Averell Dalton ===
{{quote| * Voiced by: Mattias Knave (Swedish)}}
 
The youngest, tallest and dumbest of the Dalton brothers.
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
=== Tropes: ===
* [[Big Eater]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[The Ditz]]
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]:
{{quote| '''Averell''': ''*crunch*'' I really like foreign cooking! What's this delicious crust around the frijoles?<br />
'''Emilio Espuelas''': That's called a terracotta bowl, amigo. }}
* [[Genius Ditz]]
* [[Minion Withwith an F In Evil]]
* [[Momma's Boy]]: He has always been Ma Dalton's favourite son.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Literally; he has a soft spot for Rantanplan and is, on the whole, quite kind to him.
Line 156 ⟶ 157:
Aged mother of Joe, Jack, William and Averell.
 
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
=== Tropes ===
