Mauve Shirt	comment	Nobody in their right mind wants to be a Red Shirt — it's a death sentence even the most Genre Blind should be able to spot a mile away. It's been lampshaded to death and back, but it remains a very real trope with very real danger for the nameless fictional people under its thrall. So, if you're saddled with this Red Death what can you do? Change the color of your shirt! In Star Trek: The Original Series, "Blue Shirts" were for science personnel and "Gold Shirts" were command staff; both had a much better life expectancy mostly due to rarely being sent away on team missions, the latter more so. The character is less vulnerable than a redshirt, but more so than blue.note Admittedly, this is because redshirts were also much more common among the overall crew; quite a few goldshirts and blueshirts died as well. Chromatic issues aside, the Mauve Shirt is a former Red Shirt who has managed to get enough screen time and lines to make him stand out from the rank and file, but not enough to be part of the main cast. It can also be accomplished by showing pictures of a spouse or baby (but be careful with that, as it's Tempting Fate all by itself), personal quirks, or just plain old giving them a name (whole or in part). The advantage to this is that they're less likely to be killed senselessly, because the audience cares for them and it would hit harder than some faceless redshirt no one cares about. The downside is that, since their death would now have more emotional impact, they are more likely to be Killed Off for Real to prove how bad the new villain is. If they're successful enough, they just might graduate from Mauve Shirt and become a "Gold Shirt" as part of the supporting cast or even the main cast. Also, shows where Anyone Can Die love to kill off these characters — we're getting to know this guy, and he has hung around for more than a couple of episodes, so he must be important, then boom! He's dead, and the status quo remains safely in place. (If a Mauve Shirt mentions taking the gang out for drinks, he'll be iced tout de suite.) See also Hero of Another Story for a character starting as a Mauve Shirt. Compare Ensemble Dark Horse. See also A Death in the Limelight, where a minor character is granted more focus than usual for the course of a single episode, only to be killed off by the credits. If the character is introduced early only to be killed off, they can be a Sacrificial Lamb. If they are a main character or the death noticeably changes the tone of the story, they may be a Sacrificial Lion. For the villain equivalent, see Mook Promotion and Mook Lieutenant. For the in-universe version of people so competent and indestructible they're given a more important job, see Field Promotion. Compare Red Herring Shirt and C-List Fodder. This is still a Death Trope, so expect spoilers.

It has a sergeant in the boat state their orders and speaks some encouragement to the other men in the boat with him. They soon all die attempting to reach the safe(ish) mound of dirt in front of the German-entrenched hills. The game then cuts to another boat, turning the cinematic graphics to the actual in-game graphics, showing you the troops you will first command in the campaign.

Some of these missions are potentially fatal... however, if the rarity of the officer is uncommon or above (or rather, hold a rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade or above), they'll never actually die, just get sent to Sick Bay (Which is a good thing, because some officers are worth tens if not hundreds of thousands or even millions of Energy Credits on the exchange!). Even the fleet projects that require you to donate your officers won't accept any uncommon or better ones.

Apolly Bay of the AEUG in Zeta Gundam, who makes it through almost the entire show from his introduction in the beginning of the series without establishing solid personality characteristics. Lt.

During their layover, which spanned the next seven chapters, they saw she was being used as a scapegoat, due to her inexperience. She also became a temporary love interest for Hirano, which created a love triangle between them and Saya. When she was offered the chance to join them, it seemed she'd become the main cast's newest member. But circumstance and her duty as a police officer didn't allow it to happen.

Mere minutes after we learn their names and what they actually looked like, we're treated to a montage of the group slaughtering each other in a panic-fueled frenzy. We even see bits of character from each of them before they die. Sato and Natsumi also fit the bill, as they were killed off at the end of the very episode they were introduced in. Granted, these characters were Doomed by Canon due to Side: Despair being a prequel to the first two games, but even then they died quicker than the audience would have thought.

Even though you can replace the occasional dead merc with relative ease (and in fact, the penalties for getting them killed are often lighter than those for firing them), they're all given names, personalities, and back-stories, making you feel like scum when they die. (Note however that other would-be contractors may notice a trend...) Except for Reuben, the remorseless mass-murderer. Die, bastard!

Agent Piper is the other type of Mauve Shirt. She started showing up late into Season 3 as a recurring red-shirt-esque background agent who happened to get some lines, and as of mid-Season 5, she's pretty much the only remaining SHIELD agent other than the main cast . Agent Davis. To the point where he has an amazing survival story that's never heard (to explain how he escaped the certain-death encounter in which he'd last been seen), we only see other characters' reactions to it. Then Izel pulls a Psychic-Assisted Suicide on him. Still, Davis makes it from midway through Season 1 until midway through Season 6.

Mauve Shirt / int_2feff3ce	comment	Grey's Anatomy: Plays this one quite straight. In last season, there was a merge between hospitals, and new characters appeared out of the blue. They didn't receive much attention, but they were not kicked out quickly. Nevertheless, when a shooter appeared and someone needed to die... guess who did die. Granted, only half (two) of the new characters were killed, and it was only them because their characters became obsolete when Katherine Heigl left the show. Of the other two, Avery became quite popular, and Kepner had a short arc just after her introduction, and then played a major supporting role in the finale. In Season 2, Episodes 17, Parts 1 and 2, Dylan Young has a mauve flack jacket. Not really, but he gets built up as an empathetic character with all this flirty nonsense, but we never find out if he has a family, or a significant other, or even a cat. He has many of the symptoms of a red shirt, yet catches more screen time than most ever do. Because of his unexpected death (and so invocation of Anyone Can Die) he has a mauve flack jacket (or shirt, but you can't see it under the flack jacket.)

Mauve Shirt / int_32c541e6	comment	Fullmetal Alchemist: The chimeras who follow Greed would qualify. All are likable anti-villains with distinct personalities and it's a real punch in the gut that all of them get killed off right in front of Greed and later, "Greedling" kills the only survivor during the period where he didn't have his memories. What Have I Done? follows immediately afterward. Maes Hughes is also another possible example of this, due to the fact that as soon as he discovered that the locations of high amounts of war and bloodshed form a transmutation circle on the Amestris map, he was killed shortly thereafter. Also falls under this category because he always shows off pictures of his daughter. In Brotherhood, during the flashbacks in Episode 30, Mustang lampshades the trope conversationally: Not to mention that Maes is actually seen in a purple shirt.

Red Shirts, Mauve Shirts, Gold Shirts, Main Characters. Everyone. There are very few exceptions to this rule, particularly if a character appears in more than one episode. However, only the Main Characters and the odd Gold Shirt come back. Notable examples include: Ash, Jo and Ellen, Bella, Anna, Gabriel, Meg 2.0, Kevin Tran...the list is long. Some of these characters reappear as a ghost or in an alternative timeline, but their deaths were a big deal and they did not come back long term.

Mauve Shirt / int_457b671e	comment	24: There have been quite a few characters who end up as this, largely due in part to the writer's need to kill them off to establish the Anyone Can Die mentality, or to build up the next Big Bad. The most notable examples include: Agent Aaron Pierce, who starts out as the mostly-silent bodyguard of Senator David Palmer and stays in this role for most of the first four seasons. He earned some fan support by being the only guy who stayed loyal to Palmer after he got thrown out by his own cabinet in the second season, but otherwise, he didn't make much of a wave. Cue the fifth season, where he suddenly starts gaining more prominence (he refuses a direct order from the President to stop Jack Bauer's attack on Walt Cummings, and he saves Martha Logan and the Russian President from a terrorist attack). It was assumed that his time was coming to an end, and he ends up disappearing for several episodes before it's revealed that he was placed under arrest by Charles Logan. The writers had intended to kill him off at this point, but Pierce's actor (Glenn Morshower) made such a strong impression with his performance that they hastily rewrote the story to keep him alive. As of the eighth season, he is one of the scant few characters from the first season that hasn't died during the series, and he's been a major player in the later seasons (he helps Jack take out General Juma and the surviving commandoes after Bill Buchanan sacrifices himself). In Season 1, DEA Agent Krugman. He is part of a drug-busting team that raids a house where Kim Bauer is confronting Rick (the man who ended up helping her escape from Ira Gaines), and is the one to arrest Kim and put her in a holding cell. Krugman eventually releases her when he finds out who she is, and seems to show some genuine empathy once he realizes what had happened to her (the kidnapping incident) earlier in the day...until the car he and Kim are driving in is blindsided by Victor Drazen's men. While his fate remains unclear in the TV series, the novel 24: The House Special Subcommittee's Findings at CTU reveals that Krugman indeed survived. In Season 2, a computer tech (played by Roseanne's Sarah Gilbert) joins CTU, and is set up to be a major character. She lasts for three episodes, then is crushed by a falling pillar during the CTU bombing. She holds on for long enough to talk Tony Almeida and Michelle Dessler through getting their systems up and running, then dies anticlimatically. In Season 3, Claudia (Jack Bauer's Mexican girlfriend). She shows up in half the season's episodes with her family, talking about her past relationship and the need to escape the Salazar brothers' influence. She ends up being the one to rescue Chase Edmunds after he is captured in Mexico, but takes a bullet for her troubles (off-camera) when the pair escape from the Salazars in the back of her father's truck. In Season 4, CTU field operative Lee Castle. He is introduced in the ninth episode butting heads with Tony Almeida, but then quickly establishes himself as the most competent CTU member in a long time. He helps Jack out on several missions, and is even the one to rescue him when he gets kidnapped by Marwan. In the second-last episode of the season, though, he and Tony get captured trying to find Mandy the assassin, and he is shot to death while on his knees. He almost made it to the end of the season, too. There's also Paul Raines, Audrey's estranged husband. After learning that he's unintentionally made a deal with Big Bad Habib Marwan, he accompanies Jack to another company that's recently had ties with Marwan which he also had some involvement with to uncover more information... which leads to the heads in charge to try to eliminate them. By the end of it Paul is wounded, and later on in the season after seemingly being stabilized has to go back into surgery. But there's only one doctor on call working on him and Jack barges in needing treatment for a wounded suspect who's the only lead on Marwan, thus forcing him to save the suspect over Paul, who despite Jack trying to keep him alive dies from his wounds. Played with during the nerve gas attack in Season 5. A security guard named Harry (trapped in a holding cell with the acting CTU Director [Lynn McGill] after the attack) takes the time to show McGill pictures of his young daughter, and complains to Jack Bauer that he doesn't deserve to die. Of course, he ends up dying after McGill runs out of the holding cell to filter the gas out of the building, and lets the gas into their saferoom.

It's not clear if he survives the second film or not, since he's never outright shown dying but disappears after Kirk and co. return to the Enterprise from Qo'noS. The ambiguity was (somewhat) cleared up when his actor returned for filming on Star Trek Beyond, his actor is visible for a few seconds in the back of a crowd shot. Amusingly, he's named after (and is presumably the alternate timeline version of) a Red Shirt who was killed in the Original Series episode "The Apple". Hilariously enough, Hendorff actually had death scenes filmed for both Into Darkness and Beyond which were ultimately deleted from the final cut. His actor joked about playing the longest-surviving redshirt in Star Trek history.

One of them even keeps his last name in reserve to potentially save himself from another life-threatening situation. In fact, the two of them later become major supporting characters. Also, in the same battle, the remaining members of the Sapphire Guard become Mauve Shirts, particularly Lien and O-Chul, while the rest are wiped out. In Haley's Resistance group, Thanh, Isamu, and Niu were introduced and developed slightly. Isamu ended up (un)dying, and Thanh and Niu now lead the Resistance. And now Niu's the Sole Survivor of the wiped-out Resistance, which included not only Thanh, but also a bunch of Elven characters who fell just short of the requirements for this trope (they died before getting names, making them Red Shirts instead). Subverted with one Solt Lorkyurg who was a gnome traveler in comic 539 who met Haley and the group when traveling to Azure City. He's dead to show Belkar's impulsiveness and cruelty. On the villain's side there's Jirix, one of the only Hobgoblins to get a proper name and some characterization. He's also the only member of the team who was introduced outside Start of Darkness to still be alive in the present. He's able to distinguish himself from the other Hobgoblin clerics with his different colored uniform. The Cleric of Loki from Don't Split The Party, who, when alerted that Old Blind Pete betrayed him, exclaims that he doesn't want to die because he had only been in one strip so far. He not only lives, but he takes his revenge on Pete by smashing his head in with a mace (which is thankfully done offscreen).

Shep even lasts to reach a successful retirement. John Der Trihs, wearing a red shirt per his rank of Lieutenant/Lieutenant Commander, often got either shot, blown or cut up but still survived. The company's first doctor isn't so lucky, and so fits right in here. Ironically, just a few strips before his death he was lampshading Nick and Shep's red shirt status. Shv'uu was well into the mauve. Roddy and Wick are both background grunts that appear several times, and are established to be long serving members of the Toughs; Wick in particular comes up several times, being introduced as early as Book 3.

He's become something of a fan favorite from these appearances, and as a result is being giving more screen time and plot importance as the series continues. Such as inspiring a Heel Realization in his superior The Golden Guard/Hunter, convincing him to rescue his new-found friends (from a problem he created) and try to make amends in "Any Sport in a Storm". Later in "O Titan, Where Art Thou" he goes on a road trip of self-discovery with King and ends up joining the C.A.T.S. Then in "Clouds on the Horizon", he helps Eda and Raine swap places at the Day of Unity to corrupt the Draining Spell by giving her a concealment stone and coven sigil.

So far, they've proven surprisingly durable, and even include a few Badass Normals (which, for a mecha show, means they pilot the grunt suits). In most SRW games, certain series allow you to switch pilots freely within their own series, so some of the lesser characters get a chance to shine (putting Boss into a spare Mazinger Z when Kouji gets his Mazinkaiser is popular). In OG, this applies to every character and every mecha, so if you like a side character better than a "main" one using an appropriate robot, go for it. Just be aware that certain chapters will assert mecha ownership, especially if it's an ATX or SRX mecha in question.

Both are given distinctive personalities from the very beginning but frequently get pushed to the sidelines when it's time to focus on the Love Triangle. They often show up in episodes and have no dialogue or just one line. Despite the fact that Max survives the series, is undoubtedly the most skilled pilot of the cast, and is involved in a milestone plot development (his marriage to Zentraedi Mirya), he gets mostly ignored in later episodes yet again due to the need to resolve the Love Triangle between the main characters. Ironically, Max is the only human character from the original series to show up in sequel (such as Macross 7) while the main characters have faded into obscurity.

Stackpole's books make heavy use of Red Shirts with a name, a species, and one or two lines, and now and again he kills off someone with slightly more pagetime. Emphasis on slightly. It's hard to care, even when the other characters remark about the loss of a teammate, when that teammate was barely ever shown doing what they reminisce about. Aaron Allston's books, on the other hand, have a Cast of Snowflakes, and no one dies without having thoughts of their own, developing, and showing the readers their Hidden Depths. It's often hard to tell who lives and who dies.

Mauve Shirt / int_76686539	comment	In Mass Effect, the Normandy crew are nameless and voiceless, save for Helmsman Joker, Navigator Pressly, Doctor Chakwas and Chief Engineer Adams. Come Mass Effect 2, Pressly is killed in the Collector's attack and is referenced several times by Shepard and other characters. Meanwhile, several members of the Normandy SR-2's crew are given names and personalities: Ken, Gabby, Gardner, Hawthorne, Patel, Rolston, Goldstein, Hadley and Matthews (as well as Joker and Dr. Chakwas returning from the first game). Every one of them aside from Joker can die in the Suicide Mission, but if some survive you can wander the Normandy and listen to them mourning the loss of their friends. If everyone makes it through, they are happily joking around. Kal'Reegar in Mass Effect 3 gets killed off-screen. This took a great many fans by surprise, as he was a rather popular and well-liked character. However, this was apparently due to Adam Baldwin being unable to reprise the role. Adams returns in Mass Effect 3, and explains that unlike Joker and Chakwas he didn't believe that Cerberus was telling the truth about Shepard's survival so he Refusedthe Call in 2. To be fair to him, Cerberus at that point was little more than a hate group at best and a terrorist organization at worst and the latter point was effectively correct except for the cell that saved Shepard and handfuls of other personnel. Gabby and Ken can be pardoned and welcomed back to the crew in 3 as subordinates to Chief Adams, in this case they only die in one of the four endings alongside everyone else, while they survive in all the others. The N7 personnel you play as during multiplayer missions are easy to get attached to and start coming up with names and backstories for, despite the fact that they're technically random side persons with nothing but a name who can and will die frequently when you miss an extraction shuttle.

One of the villains actually smuggles himself into the show by first appearing as yet another mauve, only to survive the season and join the Jyamato.

Mauve Shirt / int_8ac4e993	comment	Gundam series are frequently paved with the corpses of Mauve Shirts. Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam has a flamboyantly mauve example: Lt. Apolly Bay of the AEUG in Zeta Gundam, who makes it through almost the entire show from his introduction in the beginning of the series without establishing solid personality characteristics. Lt. Apolly is in at least half of the episodes, a named character almost always with a speaking role, yet the poor guy is complete wallpaper. He's the one who gets to say "It's a kid!" and spoil Mineva Zabi's majestic entrance, yet he has no personality whatsoever. It's hard to imagine a mauver shirt. Mobile Suit Gundam SEED has two regular ZAFT pilots who seem to get involved most major battles, and witness Kira's new Gundams, but never get shot down lethally. They would seem to represent the average soldier in ZAFT, and their thoughts on new events as they unfold. They are even still seen in Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny. In Mobile Suit Gundam 00 there's Joshua. He's shown as reckless and undermining and he breaks off from Graham's assault force to attack Lockon, who promptly blows him up just in time. For a living version, Gundam Seed Destiny sidestory character Shiho Hahnenfuss. According to fan legends she was going to be voiced by singer Nami Tamaki (and presumably would suffer Dead Star Walking like T.M.Revolution's two characters), but Tamaki passed and Shiho lived, making background cameos in the anime, getting speaking roles in video games, and doing well enough in popularity polls to merit at least one figurine. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE's Diva squadron falls into this during the third generation. Although the previous squads had been a focus — an unlikely trio on a then-rogue warship in G1 and a collection of rookies in G2 — the camera moved well away during Kio's time. Although they had a few notable moments in the spotlight, two of them never got anything more than a name. By the show's penultimate episode, they all die.

Mauve Shirt / int_8d817ccb	comment	Lost has done this not once, but several times. Some of these characters are annoying and die ironic deaths; another trend involves a second in command villainous character who dies at the end of the season: In Season 1, Leslie Arzt appears as a (seemingly) knowledgeable science teacher who accompanies the Big Damn Heroes to the Black Rock to help them properly handle the dynamite. Of course, as Arzt is in the middle of a lecture about dynamite safety, the stick he's holding explodes. Season 2 introduced the tail-section survivors, who looked like they were going to become major characters, but all of them except Bernard, who was pretty minor anyway, ended up getting killed quickly. Even Mr. Eko, who was supposed to be in the show until at least the fifth season, ended up dying part-way through the third; but that was because his actor had recently lost his parents and returned to England. Season 3 has Danny Pickett and Ryan Pryce, two security guard-like Others. Pickett has a short plotline in which his wife is killed and he takes it out on Sawyer; Pryce serves no purpose but being a villain. Picket is shot by Juliet and Pryce is run over by Hurley in a DHARMA van. Season 4 brings Keamy's right hand man Omar. He gets blown up by a grenade Keamy accidentally kicks to him. In Season 5, Neil "Frogurt" is introduced as an irritating, neurotic man who is literally wearing a red shirt and is constantly complaining about the others' inability to make fire. Cue a fire arrow straight through his chest. Frogurt even gets an onscreen promotion to Red Shirt from mauve, moments before his death. Additionally, a random DHARMA Initiative security drone named Phil starts making frequent appearances in the latter half of Season 5. His increasingly annoying behavior — culminating with punching Juliet and Sawyer's vow to kill him in the penultimate episode of the season — seemed to indicate that he will be killed in the cataclysmic finale. He isn't killed by Sawyer, but from shrapnel caused by the magnetism of the Hatch's site. One of the Ajira Flight 316 survivors steps forward and appears to be both the leader and really important. He has a lot of mystery about him, making you think he'll last for a while as he's clearly a big player...then he's abruptly shot by Ben, and second-in-command Ilana steps forward as the one who's really important (so much so that she's a regular in Season 6). And yet even she gets her ass blown to hell in Arztian fashion after doing little. Season 5/6 has Ilana's henchman Bram, who, after seemingly being important, gets impaled on a wooden stake by the smoke monster in the sixth season premiere. Season 6's "annoying mauve shirt villain" is Zoe, henchwoman of Widmore. In the penultimate episode Smokey slashes her throat. Pretty much everyone introduced in Season 6 is this trope.

In the first nine seasons, Profaci appeared in 53 episodes. Unfortunately, his mauve shirt status was not sufficient to save him when, in the made-for-TV movie Exiled, he was found to be on the take from The Mafia and forced to resign in disgrace. After that, the attempt to give airtime and development to non-regular police characters was largely abandoned. Detective Moe Lamott, a burly and fairhaired cop once used to infiltrate a neo-Nazi group, was a rare exception. Only for a couple of seasons, though.

Mauve Shirt / int_9a7088bc	comment	Star Trek: The Original Series: Even the Trope Maker for the Red Shirt had one bonafide Mauve Shirt — Lieutenant Kyle, who appeared in more episodes than Yeoman Rand, always had dialogue, even if it was just a Mandatory Line, and holds the distinction of being the only Red Shirt to have a consistent position on the Enterprise: Transporter Chief. (Yes, Kyle was the transporter chief, not Scotty). He even got to help save the day a couple of times (most notably in "The Doomsday Machine" and "Mirror, Mirror"). He also has a knack for appearing in good episodes, and even made a cameo in the best of the movies (that's him as the Communications Officer onboard Reliant, and unlike Chekov, was actually seen in "Space Seed", where Khan threw him around for a bit). Lt. Leslie is also a good example. He also has the distinction of being killed and restored to life thanks to 23rd century medicine. This happened in the vampire cloud episode Obsession. He was seen alive and well in the background after his death and fans often attribute this to the show's tendency to keep a cadre of recurring extras on hand instead of going through the tedious paperwork of hiring new background actors for every episode. In truth, dialogue that was deleted from the script before shooting confirmed that Leslie was revived. And he would go on to appear as Leslie until the actor chose to leave the series.

Mauve Shirt / int_ba3d2748	comment	In The Incredibles Helen's friend (and former pilot) Snog was originally going to be the pilot of the plane to Syndrome's island and was to have been killed when it was shot down (in the commentary, Brad Bird even said that they needed to have a character who had enough characterization for the audience to sympathize with who could then be killed off to show the seriousness of the situation), but it was ultimately decided the scene would be better if Helen was the pilot. At least partially because they realized the fact that Syndrome was ready, willing, and able to destroy a plane that carried children more or less drove it home that the situation was grim.

His design is a Discontinuity Nod, his name is a cruel pun, and his roles are that of a Morality Pet to the Big Bad, and of a hapless victim for the player to take out their frustrations with the series' Scrappy upon. Due to becoming a bit of a favourite in the fanbase for a few complicated reasons, he made a cameo in Portable Ops, despite the fact that he can be killed in 3 without causing a TIME PARADOX, where he got a little scene with some characterisation (vain, aggressive, fierce, and a little sociopathic, but mostly amiable).

Among them Bowo, an irritable officer with a dislike of protagonist Rama, who survives with a damaged ear and stomach wound. Rama takes him to a safe place, and he spends the rest of the movie out of commission. Dagu, a fairly quiet officer, also makes it out, and even gets in on the impressive fight scenes with the other leads, showing off his knowledge of taekwondo to contrast the other's silat fighting. Bowo is one of the few officers to survive the movie while Dagu is cruelly shot in the head by a Dirty Cop.

Quite often, a chapter will begin with the introduction of a character, give parts of their life story up to that point, then kill them off at the end of the chapter once the plot-relevant part is over. Particularly egregious is the novel Dark Apostle. Throughout the book's course, all of the main human characters get killed off brutally. One survives... and gets captured and possessed by a demon.

Mauve Shirt / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: Played straight in the old series with Sgt Benton. He showed up as a Corporal in the first UNIT story, then slowly made his way up the ranks, becoming one of the UNIT regulars (and arguably a companion). He became UNIT's Regimental Sergeant Major before disappearing from the show. In the new series, nearly any person who is given a name and a bit of sympathy for the Doctor and his companions dies. Davros lampshades this in "Journey's End". It's also important to note that anybody who gets asked to travel on the TARDIS before the end of the episode will die. See: Lynda-with-a-y, Astrid, Jenny, Rita, and Osgood. "The Christmas Invasion" has Daniel Llewellyn and Major Blake, who have some screen time before being killed shortly after they and Harriet Jones, Prime Ministernote Yes, we know who she is are beamed to the Sycorax ship. Unlike most DW Mauve Shirts, they don't even meet the Doctor, as he spends most of the episode unconscious due to regeneration sickness. "Army of Ghosts"/"Doomsday": Dr. Rajesh Singh, the Torchwood scientist in charge of the Sphere room. Rose tries to prevent the trope when the Daleks demand to know which of the three in the room is the "least important", but Singh dies anyway. Makes this a Subverted Trope with Private Ross Jenkins. He gets a name, a bit of a personality in "The Sontaran Stratagem". He is killed in the second part, "The Poison Sky". He managed to get a rather large following on The Doctor Who Forum and a fan club there: Private Ross Jenkins' Widows. The Doctor even shouts about his death angrily, which is more than some of his old companions got when they left the show alive. This is used for the Doctor's character development, as he eventually notices this trend and stops inviting people altogether... only to realise that he really, really needs a Morality Chain. Parodied in "A Good Man Goes to War" with the Fat One and the Thin One, two Wrong Genre Savvy soldiers who seemed to exist solely for the purpose of proving Anyone Can Die as they incorrectly believed they weren't red shirts because they weren't generic enough; it says a lot that they were given a chance to say their names but refused. An effective crossover example would be Frank Armitage, the headteacher at Coal Hill School, who appears in three episodes in series 8. When Class (2016) is set at the school, it's quite surprising to see him getting killed in the second episode by the Monster of the Week.

Mauve Shirt / int_ccf2f4fc	comment	The Legend of Total Drama Island has three interns who rise above the Red Shirt status normally accorded to members of that high-turnover brigade. All three have at least one big scene to differentiate themselves from the reds: Alejandro is the storyâ€™s original mauve shirt, and the only one the author intended as such from the beginning. He has a big scene soon after his first appearance in the â€œSecond Nightâ€� chapter and periodically appears or is mentioned throughout the story. Having been the dominant player in an earlier, failed elimination game show, Alejandro strikes up an Odd Friendship with the socially awkward contestant, Beth, and is implied to be mentoring her on an ongoing basis. Dawn was originally meant to be a bit player with only a couple of brief appearances. According to the storyâ€™s notes, she ascended to mauve shirt status when the authorâ€™s decision to make the Boney Island curse real note In canon, the curse is probably not real, although thatâ€™s ambiguous provided a logical setup to give her a couple of big scenes and an expanded storyline. Dawnâ€™s debut scene — with Alejandro, ironically — is the storyâ€™s first interns-only scene, and she gets her guest star episode two chapters later. Ella effectively becomes Dawnâ€™s sidekick soon after their initial (separate) appearances, and with her makes up the resident Spotlight-Stealing Squad. Of the three mauve shirts, Ella has to wait the longest (four chapters) before getting her big scene, but she also makes the biggest impression on the rest of the cast.

Mauve Shirt / int_d461f757	comment	Battlestar Galactica (2003): The re-imagined series loved this trope. The show had a huge cast of minor recurring characters — reporters, pilots, mechanics, marines, almost all of who had names, and, sometimes, personalities. Of course, in a show which really liked Anyone Can Die, this wasn't exactly a good thing... RIP, Gunny Matthias, Jammer, Racetrack, Skulls... The extremes of this would be Kat and Sam on one side with Helo and Hot Dog on the other — Kat and Hot Dog were both "nuggets" (new pilots trained during the series), whereas Helo and Sam were guest stars for the pilot and in Season 2, respectively. Kat committed Heroic Sacrifice, whereas Hot Dog survived to the end. Helo was a Mauve shirt whose actor was so well liked that while he was left to die in the pilot, (and meant to die), a major arc of the first season (some would say the show) was written in to get him back. Sam was a love interest for a main character yet comes back, joins the main cast, and survives to the finale — to pilot the fleet into the sun.

Sadly, after a difficult fight against the Drake demon in Chapter 2 to Chapter 4 of the 2nd Arc, she's fatally wounded and dies dramatically because it's too late to heal her and the magical girls have healing abilities that are still in cooldown, although they manage to defeat Drake before that. While the Dark World version of Omnis seems to disintegrate into black liquid and her Executor went missing, it is possible his new Remote Body will be created by Kamisaman and the alternate version of Lilly can still be revived by her Executor using his Reality Warping ability or Kamisaman's Resurrection Teleportation technology.

He acted in the belief that Red Shirts were important, a la Star Trek: The Next Generation while Paw believes that Red Shirts are...Red Shirts. Turns out they're both right. Phelous does die but keeps coming back to life due to the conflicting beliefs. Eventually, he just learns to dodge everything trying to kill him.

Mauve Shirt / int_e4732abc	comment	Stargate Atlantis: Major Lorne. Not one of the main cast, but a member of the security team who avoided death for five seasons. It doesn't help that Lorne usually leads the squad that gets killed, captured or fed upon. Dr. Kate Heightmeyer, Atlantis's psychologist on staff, was a recurring character for three seasons until dying early in the fourth in an almost to-the-letter following of the trope. Dr. Peter Grodin never got the spotlight but was still a constant presence on Atlantis throughout the first season, primarily as Dr. Weir's assistant. He was killed in the first part of the multi-part season finale, although he did at least manage to take a Wraith Hive-ship down first. For extra irony, the mission he died on also involved one main character (Dr. McKay) and one Red Shirt, both of whom made it out fine. Grodin's replacement Mauve Shirt, Chuck the Gate Tech, might also qualify for this, although Chuck managed to survive the show.

Mauve Shirt / int_e5da0fb3	comment	In the real-time strategy game Myth: The Fallen Lords, all of the player's units could be considered mauve shirts, since the game tries to get you emotionally attached to them by giving the otherwise-identical units unique names and calling out "Casualty" in a grim voice whenever one of them dies. Same thing for Cannon Fodder, of course. There's also the fact that they gain experience with each kill, and that when they die they aren't replaced until the beginning of the next level.

Mauve Shirt / int_e5de447c	comment	In the X-COM squad-based tactical combat games, it's common for players to grow attached to soldiers who've survived a few encounters (especially in impressive ways or against the odds) and been given names and nice equipment... but of course, they're not that much more robust than a rookie and die all too easily when things go pear-shaped. XCOM: Enemy Unknown has several specific examples as well. The Sole Survivor of the tutorial level, Operation Devil's Moon, has a randomly-determined name but is always an Argentine Heavy. Since he'll start the game proper with a level on XCOM's roster of Rookies, it's easy for him to become the backbone of a player's team, and for those players to grow fond of him. Story missions in the game's expansions add the former Chinese triad member Shaojie "Chilong" Zhang, French psionic prodigy Annette Durand, and the "Furies," a trio of gifted alien abductees, all of whom have custom names and in the first two's cases distinct voices, but they're just as mortal as their squadmates. XCOM 2 has the soldiers who fight in the game's tutorial mission, Anna Ramirez and Peter Osei, who both die, and Jane Kelly, an Irish Ranger who is the only proper soldier who survives Operation Gatecrasher. The War of the Chosen even added a bit of chatter to the titular Chosen referencing Kelly by name, as well as two new Mauve Shirts in the form of faction representatives should you choose to do the "Lost and Abandoned" tutorial mission — Elena "Outrider" Dragunova of the Reapers, and Pratal Mox of the Skirmishers. Mox is guaranteed to get captured at the end of that mission but can be rescued later, but beyond that, his and Outrider's fates are up to the player and RNG. Of course, XCOM 2 helps any soldier become a Mauve Shirt thanks to extensive customization options, including character backgrounds and attitudes, and the ability to save soldiers to a "character pool" so they can return for subsequent campaigns. Jane Kelly was given additional characterization in the Tactical Legacy Pack DLC for the War of the Chosen expansion for XCOM 2 which shows her leading a small resistance movement and getting recruited by Bradford as XCOM works to rebuild itself. XCOM: Chimera Squad reveals that she canonically survived the events of the game, attaining the rank of Colonel in the process, and worked alongside the Viper operative Agent Torque to train new recruits. She eventually became Chimera Squad's Director and serves as the game's Big Good.

Mauve Shirt / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends: Not uncommon in the X-Wing Series, where Anyone Can Die. Stackpole's books make heavy use of Red Shirts with a name, a species, and one or two lines, and now and again he kills off someone with slightly more pagetime. Emphasis on slightly. It's hard to care, even when the other characters remark about the loss of a teammate, when that teammate was barely ever shown doing what they reminisce about. Aaron Allston's books, on the other hand, have a Cast of Snowflakes, and no one dies without having thoughts of their own, developing, and showing the readers their Hidden Depths. It's often hard to tell who lives and who dies. Honor Among Thieves: Sunnim, Baasen Ray's rather cowardly and dimwitted Bothan pilot and thug, stays with Baasen as he joins Han's party and they travel to Seymarti, only to die when a venomous but very pretty insect stings him, demonstrating Han's point about big ugly creatures often being less dangerous than small, colorful ones.

Mauve Shirt / int_e9cb2780	comment	In Gears of War, Carmine (whose name is a shade of red) was a faceless Red Shirt squad member, the only man on the team to wear a helmet and mask (in fact his character model was identical to the baseline COG soldier) who has a handful of lines but dies after the first couple of levels to show that the situation is serious (he's 1 of 2 onscreen-named characters in the entire game to die). Due to being "a weird fan favorite", he unofficially returned in Gears of War 2 in the form of his brother, Ben Carmine, the next of the 4 Carmine brothersnote "Well... 3, now.". With the extra screen time he received compared to his brother (surviving to the second act) and given more time to grow on you as a character, he was a true Mauve Shirt. In Gears of War 3 the tradition continued with Clay Carmine, where the fanbase actually had control over his fate through an Xbox Live Marketplace charity drive (buy one of two shirts saying "Carmine Lives!" or "Carmine Must Die!"). As such the game made a Running Gag over his expendable nature, such as almost getting crushed by a thrown carnote "That was close!" or sniped by an idiotic civiliannote "Good thing I wear a helmet.". In the end, he gets shot down in a helicopter and after a brief fake-out with his discarded helmet, you see him putting it back on, triumphantly subverting the trope and surviving the events of the game.

Mauve Shirt / int_e9d7acf9	comment	Lone Wolf: Don't get too attached to any of the named characters who get characterization and accompany Lone Wolf on any of his adventures. If they stick around for more than a few page turns, chances are they're going to die horribly. Depending on the path taken, examples of ill-fated Mauve Shirts can be found in Books 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 18. In other words, more than half the series. The guy's called "Lone Wolf" for a reason. There are exceptions, however, notably Vakeros Warrior Paido, Guildmaster Banedon and Captain Prarg. If one of them happens to die while they accompany Lone Wolf, the hero meets his end shortly thereafter (making these books somewhat Escort Missions). The three of them get captured by the enemy at some point, but are later rescued by Lone Wolf. Sadly, Paido isn't an exception to the end. He is killed off-screen by Gnaag at the end of Book 10. Lone Wolf learns this in Book 20 when he finds Paido's soul being tortured in the Plane of Darkness. Ouch. Lone Wolf does manage to exorcise his soul so he'll go to heaven, though. The four named Siyenese Rangers who team up with Lone Wolf's Lieutenant from Vampirium make it to the very final confrontation before they either die or wind up being left behind at the clutches of the Autarch Sejanoz. Generally speaking, if the survival of that side character travelling with Lone Wolf isn't Lone Wolf's or his Lieutenant's mission objective (i.e.: Banedon in The Captive of Kaag or Karvas in Mydnight's Hero), then that companion is not going to make it to the end — this is almost guaranteed if that person is with the protagonist from the start of the book. If the character is specifically referred to as a "guide" for the protagonist, then his death/capture with subsequent death is almost certain — being designated as Guide to a Kai Lord is a death sentence. Captain Prarg is probably the most notable exception, as he survives the entirety of The Darke Crusade (despite being assigned as Lone Wolf's guide!), though he gets separated from Lone Wolf a few times, captured twice, even freeing himself from capture once, yet still makes it team up with Lone Wolf during the climax and live through it to cameo in a later book! And that's after he survived another bout of travel with Lone Wolf in The Dungeons of Torgar.

The player has a chance to chat with them before going on their first mission, which goes very wrong, and some of them wind up killed. Exactly how many depends on the player's choices on the mission.

Mauve Shirt / int_ef076a36	comment	Star Trek: Voyager: VOY attempted this in the early seasons, giving goldshirts slated to be killed off a few episodes of screentime. This ended during around Season 3, and they starting bumping off anonymous ensigns by the shuttleload. Lieutenant Joe Carey, who was tipped to be the new Chief Engineer before B'Elanna stole his thunder early in the series. He makes four appearances in the first season, and despite still being alive is then absent for the remainder of the series, except for time travel episodes that return to the timeframe of those early seasons. He finally makes a return appearance in the present day during Season 7, four episodes from the end of the series, and is killed off by the episode's villain in an attempt to show that he's Dead Serious. Voyager also had Lieutenant Ayala, who kept such a low profile he survived through the entire show! Hogan is a straight example. Recurred a few times, then died in the teaser for the Season 3 opening episode to establish how dangerous the planet they were stranded on was. Then his remains were discovered late in Season 3, which is far more thought given to the Ontological Inertia of security personnel's corpses than usual. There's also Ensign Samantha Wildman, who has a half-Human/half-Ktarian daughter, Naomi Wildman born aboard Voyager.

In the episode "Unnatural Selection," he ascends to a Mauve Shirt and is given a name: Chief O'Brien, with the later episode "Family" giving him the full name Miles Edward O'Brien. He continues on to be a semi-regular character that had a family and interacted regularly with the main cast, and ultimately became a starring character in the next Trek iteration, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Lieutenant Reginald "Broccoli" Barclay also qualifies. He's quirky and socially awkward but he has a knack for coming up with ingenious solutions to serious problems. Several episodes even give him a significant degree of Character Development as he overcomes his awkwardness and holodeck addiction and learns to make friends. His influence isn't limited to TNG either. He shows up in a few critical episodes of Star Trek: Voyager and is the main reason why Voyager and Starfleet can achieve limited two-way communication during the last few seasons.
