* CrazyPrepared: "The Danger of the Hopeful Sigil" reveals that she foresaw several ways that Nancy and Ace might try to break their love curse and went to the trouble of sabotaging them beforehand.



* TheAtoner: Partially because of his family's malignant influence, Ryan was initially a rather callus individual.

[[spoiler: The revelation of Lucy's fate, him being Nancy's father, and George confronting him over their relationship forced him to undergo a lot of self-reflection. He's got a ways to go, but it's clear that he is trying to be a better person.]]

* TransparentCloset: Early in the first season, she's not really open about her sexuality, but coming out is such a minor event it feels more like this trope, though she's at least open about it with her friends. That said, the closet is so transparent that Lisbeth immediately clocks her and flirts with abandon.
