%%* trope

* AttentionWhore: Her main concern about being found out as Hayley Tull? Her fans will turn on her. Can be exploited by Dave at the climax of the story in order to disarm and arrest her and is the only way to do so.

* HollywoodNerd: He’s not traditionally unattractive, and his clothes aren’t particularly offensive to the eye either. A set of girls his age look his way and giggle in the last chapter, thinking he’s cute.
** InformedFlaw: But if the player doesn’t bring him along to [[spoiler: Venice Beach]], he persists in his belief that he’s a total dork no girl would like ''that way'', to the long-suffering exasperation of Nikhil and Mirasol. Otherwise, he grows self-assured and returns their smiles with a “charming” one of his own [[spoiler: — although he won’t talk to them because his eyes are on Jessica.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: An obnoxious [[ManChild Man Child]] in the eyes of Mirasol (and, in Chapter 4, has “just jokes” and no real ideas to help Sam and Dave), but unquestionably good at his profession.

John Tull is one of the two main antagonists in the first ''Most Wanted'' book. He is a notorious hitman whose modus operandi is a point-blank shotgun blast to the gut.

* KillOffForReal: Is beheaded at the end of the story.

Ryan Summers is a famous actor.

Hayley Rose is a famous singer.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: A Hollywood-fluffy “princess”, but still friendly and likable when Dave and Sam first interrogate her. [[spoiler:She’s in fact Tull’s scheming and manipulative — as well as ''homicidal'' — daughter.]]

Cassandra “Cass” Leigh is a famous actress and philanthropist.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Hayley turns out to be the other antagonist.

[[spoiler:Is actually Hayley Tull, John Tull's daughter.]]

* ObfuscatingStupidity: Hardly a genius on the level of either protagonist, but [[spoiler: is quite cunning and knows significantly more than she lets on.]]

[[/folder]]

* AssholeVictim: Gavin is a sleazy reporter and the most hated man in L.A., according to Dave. He’s murdered by Tull after he digs up personal information on [[spoiler: Hayley Rose, Tull’s beloved daughter]].

* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: In ''Most Wanted: Book One'', wherein the tone is more serious, there is a focus on characters’ [[HiddenDepths complexities]]. He and Cassandra are utilized by the writers to satirize the sheltered affluent using this trope in their ''[[VisualNovel/{{TheFreshman}} The Freshman]]'' and ''[[VisualNovel/{{RulesOfEngagement}} Rules of Engagement]]'' cameos, on the other hand. It’s [[PlayedForLaughs Played For Laughs]].

[[folder: Hayley Rose]]

* [[AdorKable Adorkable]]: Although several people find his personality grating {{in-universe}}.

* EveryoneHasStandard: Reading psychopaths' profiles for a living but even Tull scares her.

* TheCharmer

* SharpDressedMan

* DarkAndTroubledPast

* [[DeterminAtor Determinator]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold

* TheLadette

* VillainousCrush: [[spoiler: The team spends much of the first half believing Tull has this on Hayley Rose.]] [[spoiler: It turns out that Hayley is his daughter.]]

* CuteButPsycho

* [[AdorKable Adorkable]]: He is ''not'' a beach guy and panics at the idea of having to be around girls in revealing outfits.

* TheDandy: “Stylish Guy with Nice Hair” is more or less how ''[[VisualNovel/{{LoveHacks}} LoveHacks]]'' introduces him in his cameo.

* [[HipsTer Hipster]]

* VitriolicBestBuds: With Nikhil and Mirasol. Less vitriol when it comes to Nikhil and Reza, but Nikhil enjoys affectionately “insulting” Reza.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: A Hollywood-fluffy “princess”, but still friendly and likable when Dave and Sam first interrogate her. [[spoiler: She’s in fact Tull’s scheming and manipulative — as well as freaking ''homicidal'' — daughter.]]

* SpoiledSweet: ...a few ''[[VisualNovel/{{TheFreshman}} The Freshman]]'' and ''[[VisualNovel/{{RulesOfEngagement}} Rules of Engagement]]'' cameos characterize her as quite [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense Rich In Dollars, Poor In Sense]]. Despite this, she’s solidly well-liked: She’s benevolent, down-to-Earth, simpatico, beautiful, and presumably accomplished in her craft.

* ControlFreak: Mere minutes after her introduction to Sam, Mirasol decides the blonde’s personality is a threat.

** CompetitionFreak

* HasAType: Dave says Ryan takes real interest only in potential partners who are savvy, assertive, and drama-free. It explains why he’s uninterested in Hayley, who’s outwardly attractive but personality-wise ''the opposite'' of the description; as well as how, as he himself admits, Sam doesn’t genuinely catch his attention until (or unless) she demonstrates smarts and confidence when they first meet, even though he recognizes beforehand that she’s a good-looking woman.
