Line 66:
** The June Alley Inn, which served as the setting for ''Legends of the Guard,'' was briefly shown in ''Fall 1152.''
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: In Lieam's first solo scene, he [[Let's Get Dangerous|gets dangerous]] and takes down a snake several time his size single-handedly. He only gets better after that point.
* [[
* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]: The mice are the most vulnerable species in their world. The Guard was formed to protect them.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Although most relationships between the species are based on very real conflicts (as predator/prey, competitors, or pests), the relationship between bats and the other species is based on the other species distrusting bats, and bats despising them in return.
Line 74:
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Lieam's not nearly as [[Hot Blooded]] as Saxon, but he still qualifies.
* [[First Kiss]]: Saxon and {{spoiler|Gwendolyn}}'s first kiss occurs in Winter.
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]]: Kenzie is an experienced leader of Guard Patrols, and it shows in his level-headed decision-making skills.
** [[The Lancer]]: Saxon takes the role of second-in-command to play up his and Kenzie's [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] dynamic.
** [[The Smart Guy]]: Celanawe, doubling as [[The Mentor]], not just to Lieam, but to everyone else as well.
** [[The Big Guy]]: Lieam, doubling as [[New Meat|the pack horse.]] [[Badass|He also gets to take on an owl and win, so...]]
Line 99:
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: The Mouse Guard {{spoiler|except for Midnight, the blacksmith}}.
* [[Hot Blooded]]: Saxon, fitting his cloak color (red). This actually works against the group in ''Winter'', as the reason Kenzie and Sadie are separated from him is that he can't keep his mouth shut when they are accosted by the bats.
* [[I'm Dying, Please Take My MacGuffin]]: {{spoiler|Celanawe passes the Black Axe to Lieam when he dies}}.
* [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice]]: Happens to {{spoiler|Conrad, when he is overwhelmed by crabs after his [[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Conrad uses a contraption that is basically a rope with a fish hook tied onto one end and a jug of rum on the other. And it is [[Badass]].
Line 113:
'''Kenzie:''' Well, you do. }}
* [[Love Epiphany]]: Kenzie and Sadie simaltaneously realize they like each other. [[Holding Hands]] and [[Sleep Cute]] ensue.
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: Rand wields a shield as his primary weapon, in keeping with his [[Stone Wall|character]]. However, a gap in his defenses does leave him critically wounded at one point, so the title of this trope might be a bit ironic.
* [[MacGuffin]]: {{spoiler|The Black Axe}} functions as one in the Fall arc. Celanawe soon puts an end to that, though.
* [[Manly Tears]]: Lieam when {{spoiler|Celanawe is mortally wounded}}. Saxon when {{spoiler|he finds his old mentor's remains in Darkheather}}. Sadie's tears at {{spoiler|Conrad's death}} qualify too.
Line 135:
* [[New Meat]]: Lieam is presented as Kenzie and Saxon's "tenderpaw" trainee, who, though not loathed, is still somewhat naive after two years of training and needs some steady guidance. And then he kills a snake single-handed...
* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: Celanawe. This is lampshaded at the end of Winter, where one mouse comments that he thought Celanawe's name was pronounced "sell-an-a-we," and another points out that Lieam pronounced it "khel-en-aw."
* [[The Obi
* [[Obi
* [[One Head Taller]]: Kenzie is significantly taller than Sadie. And most of the rest of his fellow guardmice for that matter, but this trope's about the romantic relationship, so...
* [[Owl Be Damned]]: Owls are one of the mice's biggest threats within their territories, and one particular owl serves as a major threat during the Winter story arc.
Line 150:
* [[Redheaded Hero]]: Lieam.
* [[Redhead in Green]]: Lieam again.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Saxon and Kenzie. Their cloaks even match the colors!
* [[Red Sky Take Warning]]: The day before the climatic battle in Fall 1152, the enemy army marches in the rain. Note the red-tinged backgrounds.
{{quote| Red sky at night, Guard Mouse's delight. Red sky in morning, Guard Mice take warning.}}
Line 177:
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Saxon and Kenzie.
* [[We Need a Distraction]]: played straight, when Saxon and Kenzie swordfight so Lieam can find the map-maker.
* [[Well
* [[White
* [[Wicked Weasel]]: The Winter War of 1150 was fought against a tyrannical weasel warlord. The mice won, {{spoiler|but not as completely as they might have suspected}}.
