'''Penny Levac'''▼
Characters from ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' include:
[[File:castpenny 9579.jpg|frame]]
Line 15 ⟶ 18:
* [[If It's You It's Okay]]: [[Word of God]] says {{spoiler|Aggie}} is Penny's one exception to her preference for men.
* [[The Kirk]]
* [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]: Aggie and friends see her as a straight-up [[Alpha Bitch]] for much of the comic's run, but they're mostly wrong.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Occasionally, in the earlier arcs.
[[File:castaggie 5415.jpg|frame]]
Line 25 ⟶ 27:
* [[The Aloner]]: {{spoiler|Aggie nearly ends up as this in a dream.}}
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]:
* [[Bifauxnen]]: In the [[Distant Finale]].
* [[Cool People Rebel Against Authority]]/ {{spoiler|[[Former Teen Rebel]]}}: Aggie actively cultivates a rebellious attitude in memory of her former hippie mother. As she matures, she learns there are other ways to speak truth to power than through protesting and modern art. {{spoiler|She ultimately becomes a lawyer.}}
Line 38 ⟶ 40:
* [[True Art Is Angsty]]: In-universe, Aggie's rigid adherence to this attitude helps her to produce florid poetry and abysmal videos, and blinds her to the fact that she's quite good at drawing.
[[File:castkaren 2337.jpg|frame]]
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* [[Break the Haughty]]: At the end of "The Popsicle War".
* [[Beautiful All Along]]: Played with. She may have gotten prettier on the surface, but it doesn't help her self-esteem or make her a better person (being the opposite, in fact), it just convinces her image is everything.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Regards herself as one to Penny.
* [[I Just Want to Be Beautiful]]/[[Power Fantasy]]/[[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Being beautiful gives her everything except what she really needs.
* [[Last Second Chance]]: Pointed out by her [[Good Angel, Bad Angel|shoulder conscience]] early in "The Popsicle War"; however, she [[Redemption Rejection|chooses to ignore it]].
Line 52 ⟶ 54:
* [[Pygmalion Plot]]
* [[Rape Is Love]]: More specifically, Involuntary Hand Job Is Love.
* [[Shaggy Dog Story]]: At the end of "The Popsicle War". Not only everything she had accomplished came to nothing at the end, but she's now even more miserable than before. Granted, she brought this upon herself, but still...
* [[Social Darwinist]]
* [[Static Character]]
* [[Tragic Villain]]
* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: The main characters help her become a beautiful woman, so what does she do? [[Sarcasm Mode|Make their lives a living hell, of course!]] {{spoiler|She eventually pays for it, though.}}
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: At the end of "The Popsicle War".
[[File:castsara 2340.jpg|frame]]

[[File:castjack 2217.jpg|frame]]

[[File:castbrandi 9460.jpg|frame]]
Line 218 ⟶ 210:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: As drawn by Jason Waltrip.
[[File:castcyndi 7038.jpg|frame]]
Line 226 ⟶ 217:

* [[Depraved Bisexual]]
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: Karen just can't compete with her in terms of sheer depravity.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Karen establishes her as one to Michelle. {{spoiler|In truth, though, she's more like an evil Penny.}}
* [[Faux Yay]]: Subverted when she crushes on Sara-as-Lady Macbeth.
* [[For the Evulz]]: The reason why she does what she does.
Line 238 ⟶ 231:
* [[Vile Villain Saccharine Show]]: She's an incredibly dark and twisted character for a high school [[Dramedy]] like this one.
[[File:castsamantha 2804.jpg|frame]]
Line 245 ⟶ 237:
* [[Everything Is Racist]]
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Brandi.

* [[You Watch Too Much X]]
[[File:castmeg 4493.jpg|frame]]
Line 255 ⟶ 247:
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: In her backstory.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Sara.
* [[Fallen Princess]]: Unsympathetic example.
* [[Jerkass Has a Point]]: Played with. She seems to be one of the few characters to be fully aware that all the melodrama of highschool aren't the most important years of her life... [[Ignored Epiphany|immediately after this assertion, she nervously asks whether the contents of a police interrogation will be "going on her permanent record."]]
Line 260 ⟶ 253:

[[File:casthelen 6363.jpg|frame]]

{{quote|

* [[The Runaway]]: To ''[[Something*Positive]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Boston.
* [[Sour Supporter]]/[[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Formerly, of the Pennies.
* [[Sudden Principled Stand]]: ''Helen'', of all people, chews out Charlotte when the latter tries to frame Katy-Ann for a bomb threat.
* [[What Did I Do Last Night?]]: {{spoiler|Answer: Bob and Elmer. ''Both at once.''}}
[[File:castcharlotte 652.jpg|frame]]
Line 292 ⟶ 283:
* [[Abusive Parents]] Her mother, and implied in regards to her late father.
* [[Adorkable]]: When not a psychotic fundamentalist, she can be this, especially with Duane.
* [[Because You Were Nice to Me]]: Duane's sweet behavior and attempts to make her his friend marks Charlotte's turn for the better.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Do ''not'' criticize, or attempt to entrap, Duane in front of her.
* [[Broken Bird]]
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Double Subverted. She starts out as a psychotic fundamentalist, but Duane's kindness causes her to open up and show a sweeter side of her... {{spoiler|until she kidnaps Cyndi. However, this was due to Cyndi's actions hurting others as well as her own issues, and thanks Duane in the end for making her a better person while in prison.}}
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Karen pegs her as one to Katy-Ann. Unlike the other members of Karen's [[Girl Posse]], [[Defrosting Ice Queen|she gets better]].
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: It's hard to blame her [[The Fundamentalist|Fundamentalist]] behavior with an especially horrible [[Abusive Parents|abusive mother]] like hers. [[Word of God]] confirmed she was also sexually abused, possibly by her [[Parental Incest|late father]]. {{spoiler|Her issues are later exploited by Cyndi to make her commit suicide.}}
* [[The Fundamentalist]]: Big time, but after befriending Duane she becomes gentler and more open-minded... or so it seems, until {{spoiler|she kidnaps and tortures Cyndi in what she believes is God's punishment for Cyndi's [[Manipulative Bastard]] actions. She still becomes way kinder after that, though.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Interrupted Suicide]]}}
* [[Rape as Drama]]: Makes false accusations against Sara
* [[Tragic Villain]]: Absolutely. Unlike Karen, [[Heel Face Turn|she gets better]].
'''Nick and Melody D'Amour'''▼
* [[Happily Married]]: Before Melody's accidental death in the backstory.
* [[Hippie Parents]]
* [[Posthumous Character]]: Melody, seen only in [[Flash Back|Flashbacks]] and Aggie's dream.
* [[So Proud of You]]: [http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=264 Nick] and [http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=900 Melody] have both, in effect, said so to Aggie.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Jaded Washout]]: Earlier on.
Line 313 ⟶ 306:
* [[Mistaken for Cheating]]: By Penny; subverted in that she's ''happy'' for him, thinking his "affair" will bring back the active, upbeat dad she used to have.
* [[Nerds Are Sexy]]: Both as a teenager ''and'' in [[Hot Mom|the present]].
* [[Soapbox Sadie]]: As a teen.
