Penny and Aggie/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Ineffectual Loner]]: For a while, Aggie has a hard time making and keeping true friends, [[Freudian Excuse|for fear that they will replace her]]...

* [[Missing Mom]] (Aggie has difficulty letting go of her memory)

* [[Single-Target Sexuality]] (in the early arcs, she's uninterested in either gender until [[Love At First Sight|she meets Marshall]])

* [[The Snark Knight]] (in the earlier arcs)

* [[Honest Advisor]]/[[Number Two]]: To Penny

* [[Jade-Colored Glasses]]

* [[The Spock]] --> [[The McCoy]]

{{quote| ''(Regarding herself and Penny in a Mirror)'': [[Madness Mantra|Thinner than her. You'll always be thinner than her, now. It's all right. It's all right.]]}}

* [[The Ditz]]

* [[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)

 

'''Rich Diggle''', Penny's first love

{{quote| No, wait! I don't have a complex psychology! I'm just in it for fun, chicks, praise and bling! }}

 

* [[Fatal Flaw]]: [[Ambition]]

* [[Handsome Lech]]

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]

* [[Ethical Slut]]

* [[Ms. Fanservice]] (as drawn by Jason Waltrip)

 

* [[Attention Whore]]: Downplayed {{spoiler|eventually, in a very literal fashion}}. Helen desperately wants acceptance, approval, and attention, no matter the source; she believes that letting herself be used is the only way to achieve these ends. This culminates in a [[Heroic BSOD]]/[[Villainous Breakdown]] when {{spoiler|she realizes she slept with resident skeezoids Bob and Elmer while under the influence of alcohol.}}

* [[Broken Bird]] See above.

* [[Extreme Doormat]] (She ''wants'' people to use her and is at a loss whenever no one needs to.)

** [[I Just Want to Be Loved]]/[[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: Very downplayed; after {{spoiler|remembering her rape}} and overhearing Brandi and Stan's healthy sexual relationship, Helen realizes she has heretofore been unable to differentiate between being loved and getting screwed, and has a breakdown.

* [[Professional Butt-Kisser]]: Of every clique she's been in:

{{quote| (Helen's inner monologue:) "Please keep believing I'm going to heaven, Charlotte."}}

* [[The Runaway]] (to ''[[Something Positive]]'''s Boston)

* [[Sour Supporter]]/[[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Formerly, of the Pennies.

* [[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}})

* {{spoiler|[[Interrupted Suicide]]}}

 

'''Nick and Melody D'Amour''', Aggie's parents

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Jaded Washout]] (in the earlier strips)

* [[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)
