Line 47:
* [[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.
* [[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]].▼
* [[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]]
Line 63:
{{quote|My identity is not for them to define. And it's not for you.}}
* [[Better as Friends]]: {{spoiler|With Daphne by the finale.}}
* [[Coming Out Story]]
* [[Butch Lesbian]]/[[Lipstick Lesbian]]: Her post-coming-out look combines aspects of both.
Line 128 ⟶ 129:
{{quote|I'm not always a great person, but my friends make me better.}}
* [[Better as Friends]]: {{spoiler|With Sara by the finale.}}
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Lipstick Lesbian]]
Line 153 ⟶ 155:
* [[Chick Magnet]]: The only girl never attracted to him, even momentarily, is Penny. Even Sara finds him attractive prior to her discovering she's gay.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: He has no idea who his dad even is.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: His rejection of Aggie qualifies as this, when he mentions her [[Missing Mom|dead mother]] against her. He tries to apologize later, but it's too late to salvage his and Aggie's relationship.
* [[Let's Wait a While]]
Line 161 ⟶ 164:
{{quote|I think what's important is for a man to stop takin' the world's crap and start pushin' back.}}
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]
* [[Badass Biker]]
* [[Make Up or Break Up]]
Line 172 ⟶ 175:
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Particularly in the [[Penny and Aggie/Recap/Campaign Trail|Campaign Trail]] arc.
* [[Everyone Has Standards]]: His [[Heel Face Turn]] was triggered when he discovered {{spoiler|Cyndi coerced Michelle into starving herself to death.}}
* [[Fatal Flaw]]: [[Ambition]]
* [[Handsome Lech]]
Line 187 ⟶ 191:
* [[Doctor Jekyll and Mister Jack Daniels]]
* [[Happily Married]]: {{spoiler|With Katy-Ann by the finale.}}
* [[Heroic Self-Deprecation]]
* [[Insecure Love Interest]]:
* [[Silent Bob]]
Line 198 ⟶ 203:
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Happily Married]]: {{spoiler|With Jack by the finale.}}
* [[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.
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: A teenage example of the trope, she's easily the most mature character apart from Aggie's father Nick.
Line 228 ⟶ 234:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]
* [[Put on a Bus to Hell]]: Her final fate. [[Asshole Victim|And it was good riddance.]]
* [[The Sociopath]]: Hell yes! {{spoiler|She's even institutionalized for it.}}
* [[Vile Villain Saccharine Show]]: She's an incredibly dark and twisted character for a high school [[Dramedy]] like this one.
Line 288 ⟶ 295:
* [[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.}}
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: It's hard to blame her [[The Fundamentalist|Fundamentalist]] behavior with an especially horrible [[Abusive Parents|abusive mother]]. [[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; the real thing is also heavily implied (later confirmed by [[Word of God]]) in her backstory.
'''Nick and Melody D'Amour'''
