!!Wickie Roy

to:

!!Wickie RoyRoy (born Lesley Wiggens)



* ExactWords: She claims she didn't technically lie about her background, she just used very specific phrasing to make it seem like she had a dysfunctional upbringing. Her mother's in a home (a beautiful house in a wealthy Maryland suburb) and dropped out of school (parachuted out of airplanes at the Air Force academy), her father's not in the picture (he's not in their family photos because he loves taking them), her twin siblings are in and out of the hospital (they're doctors), there was never a Christmas at home growing up (because they were vacationing in the Caribbean), they lived in a van (for 10 days while traveling through New Zealand)...



* SecretlyWealthy: Wickie made a big show of acting like she came from a rough upbringing, but it turns out she comes from a normal, loving, upper middle class family. She lied about her background because it was more marketable.

!!Dana and Carmen Wiggens
-> '''Played by:''' Creator/RonCanada and Creator/AdrianLenox

Wickie's well-off parents.
----
* GoodParents: Played for laughs. Wickie never wanted for anything growing up and they were always very supportive of her and willing to bail her out of trouble. In the present day Wickie complains that if they had been dysfunctional stage parents she might have become more successful as a result of the pressure.
* HappilyMarried: They've been married for several decades and are still happy together.

* DumbBlonde: Summer is the only blonde member of [=Girls5eva=] and is the least bright of all of them because she's never had to think for herself.
* HiddenDepths: As discussed in "Tour Mode," Summer may seem dumb, but she's the group's "moral center" and can tell what her friends are really feeling. She pushes Gloria to be honest with herself and helps Percy get some closure to make up for how much they terrorized him over the years.

Dawn and Scott's five year old son.

to:

Dawn and Scott's five year old son. He's a "New York Lonely Boy," i.e a New York kid who grows up with no siblings and no friends his own age, and as a result is more comfortable around adults than other kids.




to:

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Parodied and downplayed at the same time. The concept of a "New York Lonely Boy" and the song with the same name describe kids with absurdly grown-up interests and purely adult friends -- and Max does have some very non-childlike interests; he'd rather go look at fedoras and fountain pens than have ice cream (at least after he learns that they don't have Earl Grey-flavored ice cream), and he watches ''Series/{{Chernobyl}}'' instead of cartoons, but he's still very much a kid about these things. For excample, while he's excited about getting a fountain pen, he uses it mostly to draw pictures of his ImaginaryFriend.
* ImaginaryFriend: He has one named Oscar, who works as a doorman.
