#Terezi would obviously get tied in too somehow but not necessarily as the same person per se

Hm. Some of the characteristics you sometimes seen with tricksters in myth are

anti-authority, tend to violate the existing social order (and sometimes then remake it)

boastful, proud, sometimes undone by hubris

often clever but not necessarily wise

impulsive, motivated by urges rather than thought

good talkers who can work their way out of a situation but just as often make enemies and cause as many problems as they solve

fond of mischief, trickery, and theft

So I think you could say she hits on several of the notes seen in this archetype. John also follows some of the mythic trickster archetypes, skewing toward a more benevolent version like the ones who have a hand in setting up the world. 

#invisibletinkerer #John is more a Hermes than a Loki #if you're hewing closely to the 'homestuck as creation myth' thingy #i could see Vriska and John's mythological roles getting kinda bundled up #possibly as different facets of the same trickster entity #the friendlier and less friendly ones #Terezi would obviously get tied in too somehow but not necessarily as the same person per se
