Knight School/Characters

==Main characters==
=== Ellenor ===
Voiced by: Anna Kendrick (films, Knight School Before Christmas, Tour of Knight School. Fright Knight School), Chelsea Kane (other media)"I'm just your average Josephine. And don't correct me on that."
*Action Girl: She can really dish it out no matter what others say. And that's the reason why she was part of Yeoll High's football team.
*Actrofatic: She's slightly overweight and has a hidden potbelly under her top, but she is flexible.
*Anti-Hero: Ellenor's introduced as immature but average-intelligent, and shown to be a little self-centered and aggravated.
*At Least I Admit It: Ellenor is a aware she's a selfish and callous person, but that's something she can't deal with right now.
*Big Fun: She's an energetic and hedonistic teenage girl with a chill personality.
*Birds of a Feather: A Heterosexual Life-Partners and non-romantic variant between her and Darcey. Despite the latter being a Kiddie Kid, the two bond in childish activities and share almost the same interests.
*Butt-Monkey: She really couldn't catch a break during her first time at Knight School. She receives some kicks from her horse during jousting, some cuts during sword dueling, a few arrows aimed at her butt, and so on. Aside from being the new student of Knight School, she's pretty absent-minded.
*Celebrity Is Overrated: In Knight School II, Ellenor finds herself regretting her dreams of being famous after saving Yeoll from Wellington Snide in the first film. Her fame had gone to her head and her expanded selfish tendencies were the cause of her pushing away Lance and Jane in the first place. In the end, she gives up her fame at the end.
*Chubby Mama, Skinny Papa: She's on the chubby side when compared to her "trim as a tree" boyfriend Lance.
*Cloudcuckoolander: From the difficulty of telling reality from fiction, Ellenor is a riddle.
*Cuckoosnarker: While she's a bit absent-minded, her really sassy attitude might even rival Anna Kendrick's other character Courtney Babcock.
*Establishing Character Moment: Ellenor is revealed at the start of the movie to be a slob that doesn't clean up her bedroom as much, as well as being out of shape.
*Fat and Proud: Downplayed as she's mostly chubby. Ellenor has one large potbelly, due to her having bulked up for wrestling when she was a student at Yeoll High and current lack of exercise.
*Fat Comic Relief: A slightly overweight girl like her receives some misfortune from her pride and her little misadventures.
*Fat Idiot: Downplayed. Ellenor is only chubby and is average-intelligent. Ellenor just sometimes has a hard time grasping fiction and reality as well as letting her pride be the cause of her obliviousness.
*Formerly Fit: As revealed in Back to Knight School and Yeoll High, Ellenor was pretty lean in her youth until she had put on weight so she could try out for the wrestling team prior.
*Gasshole: Burps whenever having eating contests or stuffed on occasion. One time, she farted in one episode.
*Genius Ditz: She doesn't seem like a girl who screams intellectual, but she knows so much about sports such as football.
*Good Is Not Nice: She's an aloof and care-free teenager with a self-centered complex who's still willing to put herself last for her friends.
*Hates Being Alone: Her biggest fear is feeling abandoned by the people in her life, whether she unintentionally pushes them away or they leave.
**Knight School II has her worrying about Jane moving and upset over Lance breaking up with her over her egotistical tendencies.
**Yeoll High has her hit regret hard where joining the cool kids costs her friendship with Darcey, who is her closest (and at the time, only) friend.
*The Hedonist: She's definitely a girl who screams "life of the party" and she enjoys fun over responsibility in certain events.
*Heroes Want Redheads: For Lance, who has dark-orange hair.
*Idiot Hero: For a protagonist put into high-stake situations, Ellenor lacks in brains and has impulsive intentions.
*Image Song: "All Star" by Smash Mouth is used in the trailers not only as a means of trailer music, but to showcase her personality.
*Insecure Love Interest: In Knight School II, Ellenor starts reflecting if her rise to fame and selfishness were worth losing Lance.
*It's All About Me: A pretty self-centered and egotistical type who's full of herself doing what she can to get her way. Yeoll High indicated this as she was moreso before the very end. It was her clout in Yeoll High that got to her head following the prequel's events and continued near the first film, such as being the first female student as something she hoped would be a headline and later becoming famous for her triumph in defeating Snide in the first movie. Fortunately, she grows out of it in Knight School II.
*Jerkass to One: Towards her mother, Gretchen, due to her brutally honest nature and tough love she gives.
*Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's immature, selfish, and insensitive at times, but she's also not a slouch for wanting to help her family and friends anyway she can, even if she tries doing something that's out of her reach.
*Knight in Sour Armor: She's a cynical teenage girl with a nihilistic attitude, but has her heart in the right place and gets the job done.
*The Lad-ette: She's laid back and pretty much close to being a Tomboy, all things considered.
*Lady Swears-A-Lot: Knight School and Yeoll High are the notable examples where she's shown saying colorful words.

*Rude Hero, Nice Sidekick: Ellenor is the Rude Hero (selfish and egotistical) to Darcey's Nice Sidekick.
*Sleeves Are for Wimps: She wears clothes that aren't with sleeves, from tank tops to dresses, as she finds sleeves "confining". Knight School Before Christmas shows her wearing a festive tank top and skirt along with a scarf when she's outside as it snows.

*Token Minority: Ellenor is the only female student to the titular school.
*Took a Level in Jerkass: Back to Knight School has Ellenor more callous and self-centered following the press encountering her battle and fame hitting her in the face. Deconstructed in Knight School II, where her selfishness has put strain on her relationship with Lance and made her feel guilty over her rise to fame, thus resulting in her Jerkass Realization.
*Took a Level in Kindness: Near the end of Knight School II, Ellenor learns the error of her ways to the point where she accepts the fact that her friend Jane is moving and Lance is breaking up with her (although the latter gives her another chance). Following media has her retain her sarcastic wit, but Promenade really shows her as a changed woman where she showed dedication and devotion towards both Lance and Darcey.
*Toxic Friend Influence: Her moral and sympathetic best friend Darcey is close with her, from inheriting her traits and even "bulking up" like her. Regardless, Darcey still has a moral compass.

*Weight Woe: Ellenor might not be self-conscience about her weight, but she's always having it out with tight clothes she buys or owns.
*Wolverine Publicity: Almost every piece of promotional material has only her present, which represents her It's All About Me status.
*Wrong Genre Savvy: A recurring flaw. She believes many fictional things, like if knights used coconut-pounding servants as horses. Even gets called out by Snide for believing she could stop him like how it works in pop-culture.
===Lance===
Voiced by: Ben Schwartz"Love at first sight doesn't exist, but it exists for the most true believers."
* Blue is Heroic: While he's a Non-Action Guy.
*Extreme Doormat: Unlike his parents, Lance is spineless and weak in speaking his mind; from having to acquiesce to his parents' ambitious needs or reluctantly doing what Ellenor wants to do. Back to Knight School addresses how his relationship with Ellenor has become.
**Grew a Spine: He finally has the gall the call Ellenor out on her selfish demeanor in Knight School II.
*Has a Type: One of the reasons she dates Ellenor is because he's not interested in slim, beautiful girls, deeming it cliché. And if anything to the song "Beautiful Freak" by Eels explains, Lance loves Ellenor not for beauty but for herself. In the episode "Growing Student", he also loves her because of her soft and plushy body (i.e. her girth).
*I Can Change My Beloved: Lance is certainly aware that Ellenor is a troubled soul and wants to better her as best he can. It is up until the penultimate episode of Back to Knight School where he questions his relationship with her.
*Jerkass Ball: In the episode, "Hall Monitor", he takes his duty too seriously to the point where he's Drunk with Power.

*Strong Family Resemblance: He has his mother's eyes while his father's looks.
*Strong Girl, Smart Guy: Ellenor's an athlete while Lance is the more knowledgeable geek.
*Understanding Boyfriend: Even though his way of taking Ellenor out on a date means doing what friends do, the intellectual Lance consoles her at her low points.
=== Gerald Reginald III ===
Voiced by: John Cleese"I created this school so I could teach students one thing they have yet to learn: medieval history."
* Cool Old Guy: Reginald's a marksman (revealed in a photo in his classroom) and he's also learned fencing in his youth (during the montage in Knight School). He even 
* Everyone Has Standards: While he has his whole school to the letter of the medieval theme, he doesn't intend in overdoing it, as revealed in the episode "Field Trip".
* In-Series Nickname: Ellenor sometimes calls him "Reg", much to his chagrin.

* Not So Above It All: He's shown to listen to English rock music and has a love for an African-American-centered sitcom.
* Reasonable Authority Figure: He's not the kinda person that's stern or inpatient, especially how he is with Ellenor and Andrew. One episode shows that he shows doubt in Ellenor's efforts, but he believes in her to accomplish.
* Tranquil Fury: When it comes to Andrew and Ellenor, he's calm to the brim.

== Knight School students ==

*Teens Are Short: The shortest compared to his classmates.
* Took a Level in Kindness: Season 2 of Back to Knight School has given Andrew on a more brighter light; "Boys Will Be Girls" was where he's shown teamwork and support toward his classmates, while "Playtime with Bill" had him be more considerate.

*Vitriolic Best Buds: Towards his fellow students, but nothing compared to how he cuts some slack with Oliver since they've been friends since kindergarten.

*Token Black Friend: Relatively, the only black guy in the group.
*Token Minority: Like how Ellenor is the only female student, Oliver is the only African-American student in Knight School.
*Vitriolic Best Buds: He and Andrew are pretty much close friends, but they don't show much friendly traits.
=== Bill ===
Voiced by: Jerry Trainor
"The only fear I have is not having friends, but that fear was defied; these guys are the best ones and I haven't lied. Friendship is a good thing and should not be denied."
* All Girls Want Bad Boys: Gender-inverted as Bill crushes on Darcey for her goth-y looks. Subverted since Darcey's revealed to be a sweet girl that dresses up as a goth. He doesn't mind though.

=== Troy ===
Voiced by: Chris Hardwick

*Ambiguously Christian: He can be seen praying the first chance he gets in certain episodes. "Darcey's Birthday" reveals that he goes to church on the Sunday.
*Delinquent Hair: For a smart and kind man like him, he sports a mohawk.
*Does Not Know His Own Strength: It's when he's into competition such as arm wrestling.

*Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: The Gleeful to Jane's Grumpy.
*Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Blonde and nice are what make Darcey this.
* Hartman Hips: Downplayed. Her legs are pretty large, but her waist isn't as small. She's notably the only female character with large legs, which she believes puberty was the cause of it.

*Kiddie Kid: She has a collection of stuffed animals (specifically a panda, monkey, horse, and fish) and enjoys toddler stuff. She's pretty much what you'd call a 9-year-old stuck in a 14-year-old's body.
*Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: The Light to Ellenor's Dark in being selfless and kind.
*Morality Pet: Like Lance, Darcey can be the voice of reason to Ellenor when she's present.
*Nice Girl: Compared to her friends, Ellenor and Jane, Darcey's a sweetheart.
*No Sense of Personal Space: She knows when to be told to back away, but she's pretty chummy.
*No Social Skills: Despite her close friendship with Ellenor and Jane, Darcey doesn't have much knowhow on socializing.

*Official Couple: Through a Last-Minute Hookup arranged by Ellenor, she and Bill become boyfriend and girlfriend in the special Promenade.
* Parental Neglect: Her parents aren't heartless, mind you, they're just workaholics who are always busy and are oblivious to their daughter and still believe she's still young. She doesn't mind since she has free time to hang with Ellenor and Jane no problem with a simple ask or heads-up in advance.
* Perky Goth: While she dresses like a goth, she's dressed like that as she thought it was a fad back then.
* Pink Means Feminine: Her bedroom is technically salmon, but she doesn't mind if people mistake it.

* Pride: She is very nice and generous to others and sometimes doesn't know when she shouldn't be.

*Temporary Bulk Change: 
**Knight School Before Christmas shows her having grown a little belly from her uncontrollable gingerbread addiction.
**She ends up gaining weight alongside Ellenor in the Back to Knight School episode "Growing Student", where she's hooked on Ellenor's aunt's baked goods she's sharing with her.
* Took a Level in Jerkass: After the episode, "Darcey's Parents' Time Off", after her parents' disapproval of how she's dressed and how immature she is, "Darcey Danger" has Darcey developing a cynical personality with rage in the mix to the point where she's become a feared student in Yeoll High. This goes on until three episodes later with "No More Ms. Mean", where her parents and friends take her to therapy and talk it out until her parents accept her as she is and she goes back to being her old self.
** Promenade returns this trope with Darcey becoming a total Control Freak towards Ellenor in making her prom night like in her favorite movie and showed no sign of stopping until her goal was met. She at least undergoes a Jerkass Realization after her date stood her up.
*Trademark Favorite Food: She's pretty hooked on gingerbread to the point where she eats almost an entire gingerbread house in Knight School Before Christmas.
*Undying Loyalty: Darcey is likely a textbook example of this. She's always there to comfort Ellenor at her lowest and wants to help her in her troubles. Knight School II shows her tagging along with her on her trip to London for emotional support and later helps her in fixing their world from King Cecile no matter how high the stakes were.
=== Jane ===

*Blind Without 'Em: She goes everywhere with her prescription glasses on her face as she has horrible eye sight where she can only see "blurry blobs" at the beach in "Knight School's Out for Summer".

*Deadpan Snarker: What Ellenor and her bond upon, even if her snarkiness is more mean-spirited than Ellenor's.
*The Eeyore: Her speech sounds normal at first, but has a hint of monotone.
*Everyone Has Standards: As much as she's dry-witted and tends to be insensitive to her friends, she doesn't approve of Ellenor turning her back on her and Darcey after she became one of the cool kids who are all around bullies.
*Feminine Mother, Tomboyish Daughter: Jane's mom is an enthusiastic and kindhearted while she's more cynical and sarcastic.
*The Gadfly: Usually towards Ellenor and Darcey.
*Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: The Grumpy to Darcey's Gleeful.
*The Napoleon / Teens Are Short: She's a foot shorter than Ellenor and Darcey.
*Put on a Bus: She leaves the franchise after Knight School II as she and her mom were moving. While she appears in the prequel Yeoll High, she's only had brief mentions and later media of the main timeline.
*Power Trio: With Ellenor and Darcey.
**Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: The Brains to Darcey's Beauty and Ellenor's Brawn.
