Sid the Hero/Tropes

These are all the Tropes for Sid the Hero.

Character Tropes

 * All-Loving Hero: While he has been a very friendly and caring person towards others before his character development, as he matured, Sid has become more empathetic towards other people’s problems and less reckless and prone to throw things at his hands overtime.


 * Berserk Button: Even though he is one of the nicest people you could ever meet, he does have his limits.
 * Don't mess with others, especially his loved ones and the innocent.
 * While it may not make him angry, but more annoyed, don't jump to conclusions in front of him without any reason or evidence.
 * Don't take his food away from him, especially either while he's not finished eating or for too long.


 * Beware the Nice Ones: While Sid may be one of the nicest, friendliest, and most optimistic people you'll ever meet, he's still a very powerful being who usually isn't afraid to use his Ergokinesis to protect, save, or defend either his loved ones or others when needed, especially when he's pushed to his limits.


 * Big Brother Instinct: Despite their setbacks, Sid is very protective and caring towards his little sister, Rana. So much that he feels genuine and extreme guilt for inadvertently leaving her behind during his first adventure and was hurt when she called him out on his behavior.


 * Break the Cutie: This adolescent has had his parents killed right in front of both him and his little sister and suffered from both grief and guilt for both his direct and indirect actions towards others. Not to mention, most of his peers ridiculed him and treat him like a freak due to his new transformation, leaving him and his associates isolated and mistreated. And just when things were sort of back to normal, he found himself and his friends in near-death adventures that traumatized him and the others both physically and mentally, effectively giving them all PTSD.


 * Character Development: Sid started out as an immature, reckless, and sometimes short-tempered teenager, but overtime, he becomes more mature, empathetic, and responsible after realizing how his behavior has been affecting others.


 * Cheerful Child: Despite being at least 13 years of age, he does have the excitability and happy-go-lucky attitude of a child. He does outgrow that overtime after realizing that it was coming at the expense of his loved ones and others.


 * Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Unlike Sonic and his friends, who are anthropomorphic animals with superpowers, Sid was once a regular human until he transformed into a hybrid via bright energy orb from Ominous.


 * Fatal Flaw:
 * Constant remembering of one’s misdeeds: Sid can be very self-conscious and hard-on-himself when he feels like he's done something wrong or immoral to others. This is both shown and emphasized after Sonic Overload.
 * Impulsiveness: Sid can be very impulsive and immature, especially when he's alone, though he does slowly grow out of that after realizing how it affects others.
 * Recklessness: Sid can be very reckless at times, often inadvertently leaving others behind for his own goals, though like his immaturity, he does feel guilty about it and does become more mature overtime.


 * Good Is Not Dumb: Despite his usually impulsive, reckless, and immature nature, he's far from slow-witted and does know when it's time to get serious and focused when necessary.


 * Good Is Not Soft: While he is a very caring, optimistic, and altruistic person who loves to help others, he's no pushover and knows when it's time to get serious, especially when his limits are pushed.


 * Hero Protagonist: He is a good person and is the main protagonist of his own TV series with the same name.


 * Hidden Depth:
 * One of the reasons why he usually acts so immature and childish is because he’s afraid of potentially losing the ones he loves and the memories he’s had with them as he grows up. He soon realizes that his immaturity is one of the true reason why he and Rana lost their parents.
 * Obviously, He's very good at art and wanted to be a great art teacher before he became invested in Sonic the Hedgehog.
 * He was once afraid of the dark when he was about Rana’s age, but slowly overcame it as he got older.
 * He's also a pretty good guitar player.
 * During his youth, Sid used to be a very shy and socially stunted person before slowly becoming the more optimistic, social, and extroverted person he usually is today.


 * Nice Guy: Despite Sid's immature and reckless behavior, he is a very nice, friendly, and altruistic person who loves to help others a lot, especially his family and friends.


 * Nice, Mean, and Inbetween: Usually Nice. Since he is the most optimistic and friendly out of the trio, though he can have a short temper, not as short as Alex's, and can be serious when needed.


 * The Pollyanna: Downplayed, Deconstructed, and Reconstructed. Despite normally being a very optimistic teenager who usually likes to see the bright side of things, Sid does have his limits and insecurities, especially when it comes to those close to him getting harmed or withdrawing. Thankfully, he does become more grounded and mature while still keeping his bright and friendly personality.


 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red Oni to Clover's Blue Oni, but Blue Oni to Alex's Red Oni.


 * Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy to Alex's Manly Man


 * ¡Three Amigos!: Sid is this with Clover and Alex, usually when Rana, Sandra, and/or Bob aren’t around.
