If they won't listen to her, then she'll find someone who will! This kind of snitch can vary wildly sometimes the authorities refuse to listen, so they secretly tell someone else who will take action. Naturally, they're going to get some payback.ĭisgruntled Daria/Davey: A character that dutifully gives information to their superiors but is then unsatisfied with how they deal with it. You can usually spot them smiling smugly as the main character is chastised for whatever they did. Petty Patty/Peter: A character that's jealous of the main character or has a petty reason to dislike them, and thus relishes the chance to get them in trouble. Due to the sheer prevalence of this trope, there are several important variations: Snitches have the reputation of being cowardly weasels, but there are times when a snitch can be responsible or heroic, if they report unethical or illegal activity done by authorities (in this case, they may be called a "whistleblower").
However, the motivations of the snitch and how they're regarded in a story can vary wildly. That no-good snitch! You can't go through life without having the misfortune of coming across someone who's willing to rat you out and get you in trouble.
