[[folder: Isaac]]

%% * AloofDarkHairedGirl: In season two, in which she changes her hair from blondish-pink to brown. Serves as a contrast to Aimee's DumbBlonde.

%% * BrainyBrunette: In season two, when she dyes her hair brown.

* NiceGirl: Underneath her cold and aloof exterior, she's a pretty sweet kid. Lampshaded by Otis.

%% * TryingNotToCry: Heartbreakingly, she tries to stay tough during her [[spoiler: abortion]].

* HasAType: Ruby admits that she goes after nerdy guys when she feels down. This accounts for Warhammer Tom [[spoiler: and eventually Otis]].

* IncompatibleOrientation: In season 2, Ruby gets one look at Rahim and decides immediately that he ''will'' be her boyfriend. She continues her attempts to seduce him even after he starts a relationship with [[spoiler:Eric]], even flirting with him while he and [[spoiler:Eric]] are standing in front of her, literally arm-in-arm.

* LovableJock: Moordale's premier swimming champion, both popular and affable.

* CampGay: Out, loud and proud (emphasis on the loud, especially when it comes to his wardrobe). Eric definitely checks out the major hallmarks of this trope: effeminate, flamboyant, sassy, dresses in vibrant colors and genderfluid apparel (though this last example is only in private, [[spoiler: initially]]).

* CampGay: Out, loud and proud (emphasis on the loud, especially when it comes to his wardrobe). Eric definitely checks out the major hallmarks of this trope: effeminate, flamboyant, sassy, dresses in vibrant colors and genderfluid apparel (though this last example is only in private, [[spoiler: initially]]). Additionally, the trope is discussed- while many people feel the "camp gay" trope is exaggerated, gay men who act like this in real life are being their truest selves. The depiction isn't making a joke of his sexuality, but rather makes a point about presentation, especially as it relates to being both black and gay.

Maeve's dismissive neighbor, a disabled young man with a similar childhood, who lives with his brother Joe.

Maeve's neighbour, a disabled young man with a similar childhood, who lives with his brother Joe.

An awkward wallflower and son of Dr. Jean Milburn, Moordale's local sex and relationship therapist. Using his remarkable gift for psychotherapy, Otis befriends fellow outcast Maeve and starts an underground sex therapy clinic for the students at Moordale Secondary School.

* BiggusDickus: The rumor is that Adam's penis is the size of two Coke cans stacked together (length and width). It is one of the major reasons he has trouble climaxing during sex, because the pressure of this reputation causes him to fret and second-guess himself. He ends up [[spoiler: flashing the rest of the student body to put to rest the rumors about its size, exclaiming it is only actually above average in terms of national statistics]].

* TheUnFavorite: His father doesn't make any secret of the fact that he's a disappointment, and is openly warmer and more paternal with his star pupil Jackson, a golden boy athlete. He also directly asks Adam to his face why he isn't more like his hard-working sister.

* MeaningfulName: In the Irish epic ''Literature/TainBoCuailnge'', Queen Medbh (same pronunciation) is a powerful queen with a reputation as a man-eater, who insisted on having wealth equal to her husband's. More mundanely, "Wiley" hints at Maeve's intelligence and her willingness to play outside the rules.

* YourCheatingHeart: Cheated on Jean with at least one of his clients. This is what ended their marriage and made Otis so uncomfortable about sex. [[spoiler: His current marriage is also ending because of extramarital affairs]].

* {{Adorkable}}: Being an unpopular teenage boy, awkwardness is a given. But his awkwardness also carries a definite charm that attracts both Ola and [[spoiler: Maeve]].

* {{Adorkable}}: His cheerful demeanor is pretty endearing.

* HairofGold,HeartofGold: Aside from having long, blonde and wavy hair, she’s one of the sweetest and bubbly characters in the show.

* GayBestFriend: Also doubles as Otis's BlackBestFriend. Eric is definitely a more layered version of the trope, and as the series goes on he gets his own storylines outside of being Otis's best friend, we get a more in-depth look at his home and personal life and even gets a love interest in [[spoiler: Adam]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:[[spoiler: With Otis, and only Otis, he shows that below all his assholery, there is a regretful and self loathing individual. His talk with Otis in the last chapter of season 2 might be his most genuine and open moment with his son. He also gives him really good advice to avoid committing the mistakes he did]]

* StalkerWithACrush: {{Implied}}. He pursues Maeve despite her initial refusal to get to know him (due to her general antisocial demeanour), and its shown he watches her from his window whenever she leaves.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler: The end of season 2 is this. His motivations are not clear, but he clearly did wrong deleting the voicemail]]

[[/folder]]

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: His wife's death affected him deeply, to the point he never had any relationship until Jean appeared. He is also a very wise man, extremely good at reading people (Jean, Jean's ex husband. He also tells Otis that he knows that despite being a bit of an arsehole, he is a good man), and while nice, he will never let anyone push him over, nor be dismissed. He also knows his boundaries and limits]]

* HiddenDepths: For all his negative qualities, he does have a keen eye for noticing details [[spoiler: He finds the drugs of Maeve's brother, and he sees Jean's notebook when Otis puts it in there]]. He also [[spoiler: leaves the house when his wife asks him for a divorce, instead of making her leave, and does seem to love her despite all that happened.]]

* DramaClub: In season two, he [[spoiler: plays Romeo in a sexually-themed production of Romeo and Juliet at school]].

* CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler: Season 2 is a big one for him. He drops his bullying ways with everyone, he faces the fact that he is bisexual and he hates himself, also accepting he is in love with Eric, asking forgiveness from him for all the pain he caused him and publicly announcing that he is in love with him. He also develops a friendship with Ola which helps him improve as a person, which indirectly helps the girls bond]]

* {{Gasshole}}: She farts when she's anxious.

* BiTheWay: Dated and has strong feelings for Aimee, but also [[spoiler: hooks up with Eric when they have detention together and reciprocates his interest after they hook up. By the end of the second season, he has come to terms with this and openly declares himself as bisexual]].
