*
*
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]

▲* [[He's Dead, Jim]]: Has this reaction {{spoiler|when Chris dies}}.
* [[I Just Want to Be Beautiful]]
* [[Love Hurts]]: With Sid.
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Of the "deconstructed" variety. She isn't just quirky, she has ''multiple'' legitimate psychological problems which are depicted with all the seriousness they require. Also, said problems are just as, if not more, integral to her storyline as her relationship with Sid.
* [[The Messiah]]: Appears that way at times during Season 1, especially in her "Unseen Skins" episode. She definitely isn't one in Season 2, however.
*
* [[Motor Mouth]]
* [[Obfuscating Insanity]]: Despite having real mental health issues, she does this at times, sometimes combined with [[Obfuscating Stupidity]].
* [[The Ophelia]]: Played with throughout the two series. It can whiplash between funny ("I'm thinking of leaving school, growing a beard, and joining the circus") to just plain disturbing (Effy's Season 2 episode.)▼
* [[Parental Substitute]]: For her brother.
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: With Chris.
▲* [[The Ophelia]]: Played with throughout the two series. It can whiplash between funny ("I'm thinking of leaving school, growing a beard, and joining the circus") to just plain disturbing (Effy's Season 2 episode.)

* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: With Sid in Season 2.
* {{spoiler|[[Sticky Fingers]]}}▼
* [[Stepford Smiler]]
* [[Super OCD]]: A mild example.
* [[The Three Faces of Eve]]: The child.
* [[Through the Eyes of Madness]]: In her Season 1 episode, she keeps getting texts telling her to '''EAT!''' on her phone, and seeing the word spelled out elsewhere. Nobody is texting her. They are all just hallucinations.
*
* [[Verbal Tic]]
* [[Woman in White]]
* [[Woman Scorned]]: Throughout Season 2.
Line 132:

*

*
* [[Fun T-Shirt]]

* [[Male Frontal Nudity]]
Line 144:
* [[New Job Episode]]: His season 2 episode.
* [[Nice Guy]]
*
* [[Opposites Attract]]: With Jal. {{spoiler|Admittedly, though, it was only after each of them brought out a little of each other - Chris getting Jal to show her wilder side, and Jal getting Chris to make responsible decisions.}}
* [[Parental Abandonment]]
Line 151:
* [[The Stoner]]: Perhaps also the [[Erudite Stoner]].
* [[Teacher-Student Romance]]: With Angie.
*
* [[Trauma Conga Line]]: His backstory.
* [[The Unfavorite]]: How his parents treat him. His dad even goes so far as to only have photos of Peter.

=== Jalander "Jal" Fazer ===

*
* [[Closer to Earth]]

* [[Elegant Classical Musician]]
*
*
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Michelle.

Line 173:
* [[The Smart Guy]]: She tends to play this role, even though Tony and Cassie are arguably smarter.
* [[Team Mom]]
*
* [[The Three Faces of Eve]]: The mother. {{spoiler|Literally, when she gets pregnant toward the end of Season 2.}}
* [[Token Minority]]
Line 186:
* [[Camp Gay]]: A mild example, but he loves dancing and theater.
* [[Club Kid]]: Although he's one of the most balanced characters of the show and is one of the few characters who isn't seen using drugs.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Ironically enough.▼
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Anwar, although obviously minus the "heterosexual" as far as Maxxie goes.
▲* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Ironically enough.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: More or less. Still has his issues, but handles them a lot better than most of his friends.
* [[Performance Artist]]
Line 198:
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Maxxie.
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: Especially true in Season 2, where Anwar's storyline seemed to exist to provide a bit of a fun [[Mood Whiplash]] in the midst of the [[Darker and Edgier]] arcs surrounding the other characters.
* [[Straw Hypocrite]]: Anwar is perfectly fine breaking Islam's rules regarding drugs, drinking and premarital sex, but suddenly clings to his religion as an excuse for his homophobia. Maxxie calls him out on it in their episode.
