Line 15:
* [[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.

* [[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.

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.
* [[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 ⟶ 53:
* [[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]]
Line 71 ⟶ 73:
* [[Shipper on Deck]] --> [[The Dulcinea Effect]]/[[Knight in Shining Armor]]
* [[The Spock]] --> [[The McCoy]]
** [[Tsundere]]: Type A
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Non-violent example.
Line 122 ⟶ 124:
* [[I Didn't Mean to Turn You On]]: To Charlotte.
* [[Morality Pet]]: To Charlotte. His kind treatment towards her led her to defrost in a big way.
* [[Nice Guy]]
'''Daphne Brooks'''
Line 179 ⟶ 182:
* [[Handsome Lech]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
* [[I Didn't Mean to Turn You On]]:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Reforms during "The Popsicle War"

Line 226 ⟶ 229:
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]
* [[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 245 ⟶ 249:
* [[Everything Is Racist]]
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Brandi.
* [[Sassy Black Woman]]
* [[You Watch Too Much X]]
Line 255 ⟶ 260:
* [[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 277 ⟶ 283:
* [[Never My Fault]]: Helen's need to be used often motivates her to put her morals aside.
* [[Professional Butt-Kisser]]: Of every clique she's been in:
{{quote|
* [[Rape as Drama]]: {{spoiler|Taking advantage of young women too drunk to give informed consent seems to be a favorite pastime of Bob and Elmer.}}
* [[The Runaway]]: To ''[[Something*Positive]]'''s Boston.
Line 292 ⟶ 298:
* [[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
'''Nick and Melody D'Amour'''
* [[Happily Married]]: Before Melody's accidental death in the backstory.
* [[Hippie Parents]]

* [[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.
