comment |
Tales From Alderwood is a fantasy webcomic staring Katherine (Kat), a thief and aspiring mage, and her owl familiar, Creampuff. When a magical accident deposits Kat in the bathtub of famous mage and businessman Hechoton Sinclair, her formerly aimless life takes on a new direction — one with far more adventure, danger and shenanigans.Created by medli20 and Bobsplosion, based on a Dungeons & Dragons game run by medli20 where Kat was Bobsplosion's character, itself based on a high-school story written by medli20. Word of God states that almost nothing remains, plot- and character-wise, from the original incarnation.You can find the first page here |

comment |
Black-and-White Morality: Trish displays shades of this, especially when she immediately punches a man in the face with zero reason, purely because he's in a bandit base, and therefore must be a bad guy. Takes on a much darker tone during the dragonkin fight; Trish coldly declares that they sold their souls by becoming bandits and are now no more than "meat" to be slain without remorse. |

Humanoid Abomination: The "Smiling Strangers" are beings who sport a permanent Slasher Smile and try to ensnare victims by engaging them in conversation using a Compelling Voice. Hechoton calls them "weird cultist bastards", implying that their otherworldly powers comes from worshipping some higher being. The Strangers are apparently enough of a problem that there are posters scattered around Highport warning passerby not to speak or listen to them. |

Not So Above It All |
| | Tales From Alderwood (Webcomic) / int_96b89043 |
comment |
Not So Above It All: Hechoton is The Comically Serious most of the time, but he does find Kat's antics amusing from time to time, and isn't above trolling her in return. |

Benevolent Boss |
| | Tales From Alderwood (Webcomic) / int_a24670a4 |
comment |
Benevolent Boss: Hechoton Sinclair has a track record of hiring directionless "weirdos" who nonetheless show magical potential, among them Katherine, Smorgus Dinkley, and eventually the two dragonkin bandits, so they can hone their abilities in a (relatively) safe and controlled workplace. In that capacity, he takes on the role of The Mentor for Kat, cautioning her to avoid biting off more than she can chew, and is visibly distressed to learn that she got stabbed through the shoulder running an errand for him. |

I Just Want to Be Special: Algerith seems to have a lot of insecurities about being the son of a famous and powerful wizard, but being himself not very magically gifted and having to work twice as hard to master even simple spells. It makes him resentful of Kat and doesn't help their already fractious relationship. |
