'''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.

[[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.

Line 45 ⟶ 46:
* [[Big Bad]]: During "The Popsicle War".
* [[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]].

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Pygmalion Plot]]
* [[Rape Is Love]]: More specifically, Involuntary Hand Job Is Love.

* [[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.}}

[[File:castmarshall 8810.jpg|frame]]
Line 151 ⟶ 152:

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: He has no idea who his dad even is.

* [[Saintly Church]]: A one-person embodiment and the diametric opposite of Charlotte's intolerant, near-psychotic fundamentalist nature, although sometimes her religiosity can be a source of angst as well as friction with others.

Line 244 ⟶ 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...

[[File:castcharlotte 652.jpg|frame]]
Line 279 ⟶ 282:
* [[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.

▲* [[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.}}

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Jaded Washout]]: Earlier on.
