** [[spoiler:It happens again in Season 4. Brittnay quits because of Mackenzie blowing up her car, Saison quits because she wants to help Brittnay, and Shay quits from a mixture of annoyance at all the work she has to do and wanting nothing to do with Brittnay's psychotic rampage.

[[quoteright:230:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mackenzie_zales_1437.jpg]]
->''"Who the fuck are you?"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Marian Bruno (episodes 1 and 3 only), Kate Frisbee
Head cheerleader, homecoming queen, part-time model. Current head cheerleader of the Overland Park Cheer Squad, Mackenzie is the definition of AlphaBitch. Her actions early on in the series start the Cheerleader-Van Buren war.
Her twitter account can be found [[https://twitter.com/mackenziezales here.]]
----
* AlphaBitch: After all, she ''is'' one of [[TitleDrop the most popular girls in school.]] Interestingly, she was formerly BetaBitch to Shay Van Buren.
* BigSisterInstinct: She does seem to have a decent amount of concern when Mikayla threatens to tell everyone at their school that her little sister has cooties.
* BitchWithAHeartOfGold: The heart of gold is hidden under nine layers of bitch, of course, but she seems to care about her team (in her own way), and genuinely loves and is protective of her sister... [[NotSoDifferent a bit like Shay, really.]]
* CassandraTruth: [[spoiler: None of the adults believe Jenna Darabond is capable of destroying public property]] so Mackenzie's statements regarding her actions tend to fall on deaf ears.
* CatchPhrase: "Mackenzie Zales. Head cheerleader, homecoming queen, part time model." Doubles as a PhraseCatcher.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:Orchestrated the entire parent-teacher conference by blowing up Brittnay's car, knowing Brittnay would punch Jenna in the face. She also called Jenna's dad and Cameron for the parent-teacher so they would have an affair, causing him to resign from office. Finally, she recorded Jenna admitting to burning down the Atchison mall and gave it to the police as proof so Jenna could be arrested for arson. God''dayum''!]]
* CryCute: Nearly breaks down crying in Episodes 28 and 62. Also, in Episode 68, her voice cracks a bit as she says this line, quite worried:
-->"If something happened [to Brittnay], I'll never forgive myself."
* DisappearedDad: Episode 65 reveals that Jack, Mrs. Zales' husband, is actually Mackenzie's ''step''father. Since she's never really mentioned her dad, it does raise the question of, where ''is'' Mackenzie's biological father?
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She is visibly horrified learning that [[spoiler: Jenna Darabond burned down the Atchison Cheer Squad's mall.]]
* ExtremeOmnisexual: Episode 65 reveals that she's willing to sleep with the main ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' boys. And not just that; with their faces on ''balloons''. Guess how she pops one of the said balloons.
-->'''Mackenzie:''' ''(in her video, to a balloon with Edward Cullen's face on it)'' Oh I can't wait to be a vampire so we can finally make ''loove''. Oh, can't we do it now, I can't wait! I want your glistening vampire penis inside of my human vagina! Edward, I'm not afraid.
-->'''Shay''': ''(to Brittnay)'' Oh God, she's gonna fuck those balloons.
* {{Fetish}}: Episode 65 implies that she gets off to Roleplay.
* FirstNameUltimatum: Whenever Brittnay gets into more trouble than usual, Mackenzie will resort to calling her like this.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Responsible Sibling to Katelynn's Foolish Sibling.
* FreudianExcuse: She's a bitch, to be sure, but with a mother and family life like hers, would ''you'' be the most pleasant person in the world?
* HeroicHeelizationSpeech: At prom, she and Shay realize they actually should be working on maintaining friendships and being kind, before rejecting the idea and deciding that [[RevengeBeforeReason they now have a common goal of destroying Rachel Tice]].
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: She gives this reasoning to Brittnay when she explains that she blew up Brittnay's car.]]
* IGaveMyWord: [[spoiler: Back in the 3rd Grade, Mackenzie promised Brittnay that so long as they were friends she wouldn't get screwed over, and now Brittnay is justifying her rampage because Mackenzie went back on it.]]
* KlingonPromotion: She got to be head cheerleader only because Shay was hit by a hacky sack and rendered incapacitated at the day of the auditions. Granted, she didn't kill Shay, so it's not a strict example of this trope.
* LikeMotherUnlikeDaughter: To Mrs. Zales, most of the time. Her mother is as loud and foul-mouthed as Brittnay (if not more), just to give you an idea.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In the Season 4 opener, Mackenzie has this reaction when she realizes [[spoiler: Brittnay is the one who destroyed the lockers and is going to do a lot more worse. It seems that by destroying Brittnay's car, Mackenzie went back on the promise she made in the 3rd Grade that Brittnay wouldn't be screwed over if they were friends.]]
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: As one of the three characters who debuted in the first episode, she's a knockoff doll from the dollar store instead of a Franchise/{{Barbie}} or Franchise/DisneyPrincess. Starting from when she first appeared in her cheer uniform, this now only applies to her head.
* OnlySaneWoman: At least as close as it can get in her squad; she isn't a ditz or a mentally unstable bitchy {{Tsundere}}.
* PrematurelyBald: Her main issue throughout Season 2; every time she curses, she loses some hair. She overcomes this by the start of Season 3, however.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Brittnay's, and her rival Shay's Reds.
* RevengeBeforeReason: She just [[EvilFeelsGood loves revenge way too much]].
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Brittnay.
* SeriousBusiness: Being prom queen and controlling the girls bathroom.
* SitcomArchEnemy: To Shay Van Buren, being her rival and all and starting this whole mess.
* SmallNameBigEgo: To quote Shay in Episode 60: "You just ''had'' to screw [Brittnay] over the same way you screw over anyone who dares get in the way of the great and glorious Mackenzie Zales!"
* SmugSnake: She loves rubbing it into Brittnay's face that she's only "co-head vice captain of the cheer squad."
* TheSmartGirl: For example, in Season 3, she's the only one most worried about finding a good revenge plan against Jenna Darabond.
* TheSpock: Well, for the most part, being the only one to try to stay focused on a plan.
* SuddenlyShouting: Is rather prone to this.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Bitchy? Check. Subject to being PrematurelyBald? Check. Constantly suffers from crap inflicted on her by Brittnay and Shay? Definitely.
* VerbalTic: She tends to start sentences in a ridiculously high pitched voice before lowering it. Also, she tends to stretch out the first letter in a word (i.e. Fuck->''Ffffffuck'').
* VillainousBreakdown: When she has to wait for the prom queen announcement, she goes on a loud, angry rant on how ridiculous this night has been.
* VillainProtagonist: Or rather, a bitchy cheerleader protagonist.

The co-head vice captain of the cheer squad with [[{{Understatement}} some anger issues.]]
Her Facebook page can be found [[https://www.facebook.com/brittnaymatthews/ here]].
----
* ActionGirl: Almost never the one on the receiving end of ''physical'' pain. [[spoiler: The crowning example of this trope takes place in Episode 67.]]
* BackstabbingTheAlphaBitch: [[spoiler: Season 4's main plot seems to be Brittnay doing this to Mackenzie. After 8-and-a-half years, she's had enough of her. They reconcile in the end.]]
* BatterUp: Her WeaponOfChoice is a metal baseball bat.
* BerserkButton: Saison in general, but ''especially'' her VerbalTic of "How do you say...?" Also, lying about your origin.
-->"Really? Did you ''really'' just ask how to say 'menage a trois'? IT'S A FUCKING ''FRENCH'' WORD, YOU LITTLE ''BITCH''."
* BetaBitch: Being the Co-Head Vice Captain of the Cheer Squad to Mackenzie's Head Cheerleader and all.
* BitchWithAHeartOfGold: The heart of gold is ''deep'' under her bitchy temper. Is good friends with those she sees as genuinely nice (Trisha, Amberlynn, and Tristan).
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: A stereotypical example for the most part, especially when around her mother.
* BreakoutCharacter: Becomes the most featured character from mid-Season 3 onward.
* BrutalHonesty: Let's face it; she doesn't appreciate lying (even when it ''should'' be necessary).
* CryCute: Tears up at Amberlynn's speech in Episode 13, and her voice becomes shaky as she talks when [[spoiler: when she learns that Mackenzie was the one who blew up her car, in Episode 58.]]
* DaddysGirl: Implied during a phone call with her Mom in Episode 25, and an episode of ''The Trisha Show''. After all, Brittnay says that she (Brittnay) is "his fucking lovely daughter".
* {{Deuteragonist}}: In the first season, she shares this role with Shay, but since then, she's been the second most prominent character. In Season 4, the roles with her and Mackenzie are switched.
* DumbBlonde: A tad; well, she just doesn't think before she charges in.
* EmbarrassingDampSheets: In Episode 50, [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents her mother]] mentions that she still used to [[PottyFailure wet the bed]] at the age of three, but--
-->'''Brittnay''': Mom! ''No!''...I said no!... I don't care!... I said no! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! ''Stop it!''
* EnfantTerrible: When she was a little kid. After befriending the group in the Third Grade, however, she got better. [[BrattyHalfPint A little.]]
-->'''Kid Shay''': Do you think anyone will notice I'm bald?
-->'''Kid Mackenzie''': Mmm...no.
-->'''Kid Rachel''': Not at all.
-->'''[[MouthyKid Kid Brittnay]]''': [[DeadpanSnarker You're fucking kidding, right?]]
-->'''Kid Mackenzie''': ''[[FirstNameUltimatum Brittnay!]]'' Jesus Christ.
* EthicalSlut: She gives out hand jobs and anal sex, but she's saving her "vag-inity" for someone special. [[ExactWords Technically fits the description of virginity.]]
* FagHag: Seems to be becoming one for Tristan. [[spoiler: However, there have been some hints that she may not be entirely straight, non-canon or not.]]
* {{Fangirl}}: For ''{{Series/Glee}}.'' [[CharacterizationMarchesOn However, this is eventually forgotten about as the years go on.]]
* FatalFlaw: Wrath; it comes back to bite her mid-Season 3.
* HairTriggerTemper: Like you read about. Capable of violence against anyone and anything.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Her type of bitchiness is almost always PlayedForLaughs.
* HiredGuns: "Brittnay Matthews: Mercenary Cheerleader", when she's a free agent in Season 4 [[spoiler:after leaving the Cheer Squad.]]
* HotBlooded: Once again, like you read about.
* InsultOfEndearment: She and Tristan playfully insult each other all the time, but are incredibly close friends.
* LadySwearsALot: Even more than everybody else, if you take count throughout the series thus far.
* LikeMotherUnlikeDaughter: To Veronica, most of the time; her mother is quite reserved, and Brittnay, well...
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Platonic version; the Masculine Girl to [[CampGay Tristan's]] Feminine Boy.
* TheMcCoy: Prefers to act on her emotions.
* NeverLiveItDown:
** In-universe. Second-rate handjobs.
** To her, Rachel Tice eating a roly-poly in the "goddamn third grade". She's always one to mention it directly at her face.
* [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]]: [[spoiler: In episode 67, she outfights and kills an entire squad of mercenary cheerleaders that Mackenzie sent after to retrieve a video, out of self-defense.]]
* PrankCall: Does one in "Judy & Red in the Morning" under the name of "Witney Matthews" along with a fake calm-sounding voice, until cussing them out shortly afterwards and abruptly hangs up.
* ReallyGetsAround: So much so that when Trisha learns someone is pregnant, she immediately assumes it's Brittnay. Mackenzie also makes that conclusion.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Mackenzie's and Trisha's Blues, being the loudest and most HotBlooded of the three.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Mackenzie.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Pulls this on the possibility of having her own TV show... under the condition that she couldn't curse or make references to sex.
* SeriousBusiness: ''Series/GossipGirl'' is ''not'' better than ''{{Series/Glee}}''!
* SitcomArchEnemy: To [[ReallyGetsAround Cameron Van Buren]] and Saison Marguerite, though the former is more argumentative than the latter ever will be.
* SmugSnake: Maybe even morseo than Mackenzie.
* SpoiledBrat: Yells at her mom about the Nissan Leaf she bought her after [[spoiler:Mackenzie]] had blown up her previous car, and constantly tells her to buy things for her.
* TheStarscream: Though this has been downplayed, and then it's taken to an all-time low in Season 4.
* TechnicalVirgin: She's saving herself for the right man... by only giving ([[RunningGag second-rate]]) handjobs and having anal sex.
* {{Tsundere}}: An extreme Type A; she saves the Dere side for people she genuinely cares about.
* UnstoppableRage: Once she starts beating someone up, it's unlikely for her to stop anytime soon.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Bitchy? Hell yes. SurroundedByIdiots, just like Mackenzie? Yeah...
* VomitDiscretionShot: If you take note throughout the series, you'll discover that Brittnay is actually very squeamish, throwing up and gagging the most times out of any character.
* WhatTheHellHero: She is legitimately distressed that [[spoiler: Mackenzie blew up her car and manipulated her into punching Jenna Darabond. And it seems Brittnay has planned her own revenge on Mackenzie come Season 4.]]

->''"DO YOU KNOW WHAT THESE ARE, ASHLEY KATCHADOURIAN? THESE ARE A LITTLE GIRLS ARMS. A LITTLE GIRL WITH DREAMS, WITH LEGS. WITH A HEAD."''
->'''Voiced by:''' Garrett Mendez
The nicest member of the Cheer Squad, something of a ditz, and NOT someone to underestimate.
Her Instagram page can be found [[https://www.instagram.com/thetrishashow/ here]].
----
* {{Adorkable}}: She's more prone to geek-out moments than the other cheerleaders, and fans love her for it.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: She's a bit darker skinned than some people. Coincidentally, this is also justified as she has an Italian surname, making her ''somewhat'' ethnic.
* ArchEnemy: At this point, Ashley Katchadourian. Ashley seems to be the only person whom Trisha can be naturally and intentionally nasty towards on a regular basis. {{Subverted}} as of the beginning of Season Three, when she finds out poor Ashley was simply caught in the crossfire between other feuding parties, and was more or less dragged into it without her knowledge, at which point Trisha feels terrible and stands up for Ashley, telling the others to leave her be.
* AudienceSurrogate: In episode 31, she's the one to Lampshade how everything that's happened in the show so far is finally making sense.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She can be kind of bitchy if she's up to it. [[spoiler: Then episode 70 has Shay Van Buren learn this the hard way when Trisha completely destroys her popularity thanks to a video of Shay going on a [[InVinoVeritas drunken rant.]]]]
* BookDumb: It's clear she's not going to be class valedictorian anytime soon, but she ''does'' have knowledge in certain areas -- cheerleading, paperwork, cameras, etc.
* BrainlessBeauty: To quote Matthew Derringer from Episode 46: [[BeYourself "My baby doesn't need to worry about spelling good when she spends so much time looking good."]]
* BreakoutCharacter: She received her own spin-off, "The Trisha Show," with Atchison's Trisha as co-host. She, along with Deandra [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl9E5wqQP1g also announced the nominees]] for Best Lifestyle Series awards at the Streamys Awards.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: She's definitely rather flighty and ditsy, but when it comes to knowledge the various rules and regulations associated with Overland Park's social ladder? Trisha can't be topped.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: She's a lot bitchier than normal in the first episode, with no real reason behind it, unlike later episodes where she bitches out [[spoiler:Ashley Katchadourian]], who pretty much deserves it. [[spoiler: Except not really]].
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Trisha's clearly on her own planet half the time.
* CreepyMonotone: At least in the first episode, though it isn't exactly creepy until she talks about someone's dad dying. [[VocalEvolution She eventually drops the monotone part in her voice, though.]]
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Implied to be the case with Matthew Derringer ("Oh, Dad, you were so wrong."). Her mom, however, seems to like Matthew just fine.
* TheDitz: She's not terribly bright, though she has more going on than you'd think.
* DumbIsGood: Nicest girl among the cast, with the exceptions of Amberlynn and Trisha 2.
* FieryRedhead: Averted most of the time, but played straight when she ''really'' gets mad.
* {{Flanderization}}: Sure, she made somewhat obvious statements in earlier episodes, but she wasn't the airhead that later episodes show her as.
--> '''Trisha:''' OK, who the fuck is watching the door? How did a nine-year-old get in here?
* {{Foil}}: To Trisha 2. Trisha is (usually) sweet, somewhat ditzy but is smarter than she looks and has her own skill set that comes in handy more often than you'd think. Trisha 2? Sweet, but genuinely an idiot.
* FriendlyEnemy: She's made friends with Mikayla Van Buren and the Atchison cheer squad's Trisha, and no one really has a problem with this.
* GeniusDitz:
** She's not very book smart and misunderstands sarcasm, but when it comes to Cheer Squad regulations she's really on the ball.
** As of Episode 63, it's also revealed that she knows a thing or two about cameras.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Like the rest of the cheer squad, she is girly, but is into superhero stuff. She also knows quite a bit about tech and AV stuff, which is quite unusual for a cheerleader.
* TheHeart: She's pretty much the only member of the Squad who can get along with everybody else, and in the fourth season [[spoiler: she's the only one who can get Brittnay and Mackenzie to actually apologize to one another.]] This is also because she legitimately cares about her teammates and has yet to actually do anything to hurt them.
* HiddenDepths: In the Season 4 finale, she tells Brittnay and Mackenzie that she joined the cheer squad because they made her believe in something -- specifically, they made her believe that she was awesome. This implies Trisha may have had some self-esteem issues in the past, which does make sense when you consider how easily she's swayed by Mackenzie and Brittnay's opinions.
* KarmicProtection: [[spoiler: She's being spared by Brittnay because Brittnay considers her a true friend as Trisha has never done anything to hurt her.]]
* TheKirk: Being the only one who can settle conflicts between Mackenzie and Brittnay.
* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: With Trish. They're ''just'' alike.
* LovableAlphaBitch: She definitely plays girl politics with the others, and is capable of genuine nastiness if she's pissed off enough, but for the most part is a good-natured ditz, rather than outright ''mean''.
* MoralityPet: To Brittnay, Mackenzie, and Mikayla; none of them are very nice people, but they ''do'' care for Trisha, very, very much.
* MotorMouth: When listing off rules and policies having to do with cheer squad business.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: To discovering Ashley Katchadourian was ''not'' in charge of the door.]]
** [[spoiler: Of course, Trisha's only form of apologizing was saying "No hard feelings" when she saw Ashley for the first time after prom. In episode 31 she ''really'' has this moment when she learns about Jenna Darabond's evil plan and awkwardly motions to Ashley. She attempts to make up for her behavior by asking Mackenzie and the others to leave Ashley alone.]]
* NiceGirl: The only time she ever does anything truly mean-spirited is when she [[spoiler:attacks Ashley on prom night]] and [[spoiler: destroy's Shay Van Buren's popularity]].
* NiceToTheWaiter: She's on friendly terms with the school janitor, to the point of being on a first-name basis.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: As one of the three characters who debuted in the first episode, she's a knockoff doll from the dollar store instead of a Franchise/{{Barbie}} or Franchise/DisneyPrincess. Starting from when she first appeared in her cheer uniform, this now only applies to her head.
* NotSoHarmless: As Ashley Katchadourian and [[spoiler: Shay Van Buren]] have learned.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: In a sense. She apparently is in charge of all formal paperwork for the Cheer Squad.
* OddFriendship: Seems to have formed a IntergenerationalFriendship with Mikayla Van Buren.
* OfficialCouple: With Matthew Derringer.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Whenever she slips out of her usual laid back tone, prepare for some shit to go down.
* OnlyChildSyndrome
* PopCulturedBadass: Makes frequent references to movies whenever she's verbally destroying someone. BenAffleck, anyone?
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Trisha 2's (NOTE: The differences are as minor as the ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'' example.) and Brittnay's Reds, and the Red to Mackenzie's Blue.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Trisha 2.
* SeriousBusiness: She's "the cheer squad scheduling council" and she takes this job ''very'' seriously.
* ScheduleFanatic: Normally, Trisha's a bit of TheDitz, but when it comes to the cheer squad's schedule, she's incredibly thorough and competent.
* SkewedPriorities: Prone to this sometimes.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Kind to others and keen on maintaining friendships. Also took [[spoiler:Deandra's loss of arms]] rather personally.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type B. Ashley has learnt the hard way to ''never'' get on Trisha's bad side...
* UndyingLoyalty: She has this to Brittnay ''and'' Mackenzie, which causes tension in Season Four.
* [[{{Manchild}} Womanchild]]: It's pretty clear she hasn't matured much since elementary school.

----
* ArchEnemy: At this point it's pretty clear she's Trisha's.
* BackstabbingTheAlphaBitch: [[spoiler: Planning it for a while. Officially backstabbed when it came to cheer nationals as she joined the Atchison High cheer squad so her own squad would be unable to compete now that there are only five of them.]]
* BadassLongcoat: Her PaperThinDisguise at best, plus CoolShades. ([[Funny/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool Pfft]], "A Lesbian InspectorGadget"...)
* BadLiar
* BreakoutCharacter: Since she got involved with the Atchison High cheer squad, there have been episodes where in which give her an extensive amount of screen time.
* BrokenBird: She's been suffering from so much anxiety that her mom's been sneaking medication into her food and her doctor's told her she has ulcers.
* ButtMonkey: Cemented in episode 22 when Deandra tosses her across the mall as a demonstration of her robot arm's strength, followed by Ashley's rather pathetic pleas for someone to help her going unheard.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Averted. She has the lowest vocal range of the female characters (CrossDressingVoices don't count), but she's rather wimpy. [[spoiler: However, it's played straight when she gives out inspirational speeches.]]
* DemotedToExtra: Invoked in-universe when she asks to be left out of the current conflict after all she's gone through. However, she has a pretty prominent role in episode 58.
* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: Getting completely annihilated by Trisha's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and having her boyfriend make out with Brittnay on prom night all in response to something she wasn't responsible for.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Episode 15 implies Ashley is planning on getting revenge for what Trisha and the others did to her.]]
* TheGhost: Until episode 11.

* {{Misblamed}}: [[spoiler: Jenna Darabond was supposed to watching the door, but Deandra said it was Ashley that let her in, so Trisha blamed her.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler: At least in Season 2.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: She gets blamed for Deandra's maiming because she wasn't watching the door when she was supposed to, though it turns out she really wasn't in charge at all.]]
* OneHeadShorter: Than everyone expect the children, like Rachel, though Ashley is ''slightly'' taller than Rachel.
* RunningGag: Deandra mistaking her for a (tiny) flasher. It's continually brought up when recalling what happened several weeks prior to cheer nationals.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In Episode 21. And she is ''terrible'' at it. Brittnay lampshades it immediately.
* TrueNeutral:[[invoked]] Ashley Katchadourian returns in Episode 31 but is not interested with having to do with anything as of late and is just set on doing her own thing, steering away from the [[InsistentTerminology shitstorm]] as much as possible. Trisha acknowledges her on that path.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She's responsible for the entire series starting off all because she wasn't watching the door to the girls bathroom. [[spoiler: Though it turns out she wasn't responsible for watching the door.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: She didn't sound anything beyond conniving and was quite timid when she was first seen. But after Trisha lashes out on her for [[spoiler: leaving the door unguarded which lead to Deandra getting her arms ripped off]], she's been bitter ever since. She didn't even forgive Trisha after apologizing to her.
** However, she [[spoiler: gives a sweet and heartfelt speech about being free to like the things you like regardless if people think it's popular or not and inspires others to follow her example.]]
-->'''Ashley''': [[spoiler: Guys, I've got an idea, just hear me out. Maybe we should just like whatever it is we like. And if other people start liking it too, it's not bad. In fact, it probably means that whatever it is we like, is pretty good. Only now we have people we can share it with. And if nobody else likes it, well that's okay too. Because it makes us happy.]]
-->'''Connor''': [[spoiler: Whoa. You are blowing my mind, Ashley Katchadourian.]]
-->'''Amberlynn''': [[spoiler: [[ThrowTheDogABone So small, yet so wise.]]]]
* VocalDissonance: She's quite a small girl, yet she has the deepest (natural) female voice among the cast.
* WalkingSpoiler: All that white, for Pete's sakes. It only applies if you're still new to the show and you've decided to watch the very first episode, as a good start for the more eventful things to come.

->''"When the fuck did everyone in this school started talking in goddamn code?"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Jessie Schneiderman
[[BrickJoke She's been absent because her dad has been sick a lot.]] As such, she's completely out of the loop regarding what's been going on at Overland Park.
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: She did seem to be ''very'' interested when Jenna Darabond revealed she [[BiTheWay swings both ways]]. She later asks to make out with several people, including Jenna Darabond, some random camera guy, Caitlin Cameron (a TV reporter), the manager of Pizza Street, and Bridget.
* AnythingThatMoves: Her {{Catchphrase}} practically seems to be "Do you wanna make out?".
* BrickJoke: In the first episode Trisha wondered if Jenna Darabond's dad was sick or died, then realized she was getting her confused with Jenna Dapananian. As it turns out, this Jenna's dad was the sick one.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: She started as someone who spent her time expressing annoyance that she has no idea what is going on, but by the third and fourth seasons she's now someone who ''really'' wants to make out while also getting extremely high.
* DeadpanSnarker: How she gets by when commenting on things nobody ever explained to her about.
* TheGhost: Until episode 21.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: No one seems willing to fill her in on what's been going on at Overland Park.
* LovableSexManiac
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Jenna Darabond's Blue.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the end up episode 30, probably because she's tired of no one telling her what's going on.

->'''Voiced by:''' Afton Quast
Due to mysterious circumstances, she's been absent for an indefinite amount of time and as a result, is replaced by Saison Margeurite so Overland Park is qualified to cheer for cheer nationals... [[RunningGag and is]] ''[[RunningGag originally]]'' [[RunningGag in charge of the door]].
----
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Depending whether she deserved to be stabbed to death by Tanya Berkowitz for burning down the mall and considering everything she did that kick started certain events that had gone on since the very first season or it's a case of DisproportionateRetribution (seriously, getting her sent to jail thanks to Mackenzie's plan was adequate enough), she had it coming]].
** [[spoiler: Wound up being a case of DeathIsCheap in Episode 67, [[BackForTheDead at least temporarily...]]]]
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: She burnt down the Atchison Mall and seemingly blew up Brittnay's car.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She comes off as sweet and kind around adults, but is a conniving sociopath.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: Her first actual appearance has her watching the Overland Park squad through a pair of binoculars, begrudgingly conceding that Mackenzie wins this round but that she'll have something else in store.

* ClingyJealousGirl: [[spoiler: Why she planned on messing with the cheer squad in the first place. When she saw Ashley kissing Justin and then Mackenzie shortly after, she went on with the plan that would start it all and in first doing, introduces herself as "Ashley Katchadourian" to Deandra after letting her in the bathroom. It went further when she saw that Justin made out with Brittnay.]]
* DaddysLittleVillain: [[spoiler: When she speaks to her father on the phone, she casually mentions that she's planning revenge. Given that her father is a senator, this is not very surprising.]]

* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Trisha (Beauty), Mackenzie (Brains), Brittnay (Brawn).
* TheCheerleader: Uh, CaptainObvious.
* DwindlingParty: See below, due to the various factors that lead to all the ScrewThisImOuttaHere announcements. Lampshaded, like everything else.

* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Parodied[[labelnote:note]]This exchange is from Episode 13.[[/labelnote]], and occasionally played straight.

-->'''Mackenzie''': ''(already in a pissy mood that evening, to Brittnay)'' Don't you ''ever'' fucking cut me off again, do you understand me?

->''"Who the fuck are you?"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Marian Bruno (episodes 1 and 3 only), Kate Frisbee
Head cheerleader, homecoming queen, part-time model. Current head cheerleader of the Overland Park Cheer Squad, Mackenzie is the definition of AlphaBitch. Her actions early on in the series start the Cheerleader-Van Buren war.
Her twitter account can be found [[https://twitter.com/mackenziezales here.]]
----
* AlphaBitch: After all, she ''is'' one of [[TitleDrop the most popular girls in school.]] Interestingly, she was formerly BetaBitch to Shay Van Buren.
* BigSisterInstinct: She does seem to have a decent amount of concern when Mikayla threatens to tell everyone at their school that her little sister has cooties.
* BitchWithAHeartOfGold: The heart of gold is hidden under nine layers of bitch, of course, but she seems to care about her team (in her own way), and genuinely loves and is protective of her sister... [[NotSoDifferent a bit like Shay, really.]]
* CassandraTruth: [[spoiler: None of the adults believe Jenna Darabond is capable of destroying public property]] so Mackenzie's statements regarding her actions tend to fall on deaf ears.
* CatchPhrase: "Mackenzie Zales. Head cheerleader, homecoming queen, part time model." Doubles as a PhraseCatcher.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:Orchestrated the entire parent-teacher conference by blowing up Brittnay's car, knowing Brittnay would punch Jenna in the face. She also called Jenna's dad and Cameron for the parent-teacher so they would have an affair, causing him to resign from office. Finally, she recorded Jenna admitting to burning down the Atchison mall and gave it to the police as proof so Jenna could be arrested for arson. God''dayum''!]]
* CryCute: Nearly breaks down crying in Episodes 28 and 62. Also, in Episode 68, her voice cracks a bit as she says this line, quite worried:
-->"If something happened [to Brittnay], I'll never forgive myself."
* DisappearedDad: Episode 65 reveals that Jack, Mrs. Zales' husband, is actually Mackenzie's ''step''father. Since she's never really mentioned her dad, it does raise the question of, where ''is'' Mackenzie's biological father?
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She is visibly horrified learning that [[spoiler: Jenna Darabond burned down the Atchison Cheer Squad's mall.]]
* ExtremeOmnisexual: Episode 65 reveals that she's willing to sleep with the main ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' boys. And not just that; with their faces on ''balloons''. Guess how she pops one of the said balloons.
-->'''Mackenzie:''' ''(in her video, to a balloon with Edward Cullen's face on it)'' Oh I can't wait to be a vampire so we can finally make ''loove''. Oh, can't we do it now, I can't wait! I want your glistening vampire penis inside of my human vagina! Edward, I'm not afraid.
-->'''Shay''': ''(to Brittnay)'' Oh God, she's gonna fuck those balloons.
* {{Fetish}}: Episode 65 implies that she gets off to Roleplay.
* FirstNameUltimatum: Whenever Brittnay gets into more trouble than usual, Mackenzie will resort to calling her like this.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Responsible Sibling to Katelynn's Foolish Sibling.
* FreudianExcuse: She's a bitch, to be sure, but with a mother and family life like hers, would ''you'' be the most pleasant person in the world?
* HeroicHeelizationSpeech: At prom, she and Shay realize they actually should be working on maintaining friendships and being kind, before rejecting the idea and deciding that [[RevengeBeforeReason they now have a common goal of destroying Rachel Tice]].
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: She gives this reasoning to Brittnay when she explains that she blew up Brittnay's car.]]
* IGaveMyWord: [[spoiler: Back in the 3rd Grade, Mackenzie promised Brittnay that so long as they were friends she wouldn't get screwed over, and now Brittnay is justifying her rampage because Mackenzie went back on it.]]
* KlingonPromotion: She got to be head cheerleader only because Shay was hit by a hacky sack and rendered incapacitated at the day of the auditions. Granted, she didn't kill Shay, so it's not a strict example of this trope.
* LikeMotherUnlikeDaughter: To Mrs. Zales, most of the time. Her mother is as loud and foul-mouthed as Brittnay (if not more), just to give you an idea.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In the Season 4 opener, Mackenzie has this reaction when she realizes [[spoiler: Brittnay is the one who destroyed the lockers and is going to do a lot more worse. It seems that by destroying Brittnay's car, Mackenzie went back on the promise she made in the 3rd Grade that Brittnay wouldn't be screwed over if they were friends.]]
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: As one of the three characters who debuted in the first episode, she's a knockoff doll from the dollar store instead of a Franchise/{{Barbie}} or Franchise/DisneyPrincess. Starting from when she first appeared in her cheer uniform, this now only applies to her head.
* OnlySaneWoman: At least as close as it can get in her squad; she isn't a ditz or a mentally unstable bitchy {{Tsundere}}.
* PrematurelyBald: Her main issue throughout Season 2; every time she curses, she loses some hair. She overcomes this by the start of Season 3, however.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Brittnay's, and her rival Shay's Reds.
* RevengeBeforeReason: She just [[EvilFeelsGood loves revenge way too much]].
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Brittnay.
* SeriousBusiness: Being prom queen and controlling the girls bathroom.
* SitcomArchEnemy: To Shay Van Buren, being her rival and all and starting this whole mess.
* SmallNameBigEgo: To quote Shay in Episode 60: "You just ''had'' to screw [Brittnay] over the same way you screw over anyone who dares get in the way of the great and glorious Mackenzie Zales!"
* SmugSnake: She loves rubbing it into Brittnay's face that she's only "co-head vice captain of the cheer squad."
* TheSmartGirl: For example, in Season 3, she's the only one most worried about finding a good revenge plan against Jenna Darabond.
* TheSpock: Well, for the most part, being the only one to try to stay focused on a plan.
* SuddenlyShouting: Is rather prone to this.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Bitchy? Check. Subject to being PrematurelyBald? Check. Constantly suffers from crap inflicted on her by Brittnay and Shay? Definitely.
* VerbalTic: She tends to start sentences in a ridiculously high pitched voice before lowering it. Also, she tends to stretch out the first letter in a word (i.e. Fuck->''Ffffffuck'').
* VillainousBreakdown: When she has to wait for the prom queen announcement, she goes on a loud, angry rant on how ridiculous this night has been.
* VillainProtagonist: Or rather, a bitchy cheerleader protagonist.

----
* ActionGirl: Almost never the one on the receiving end of ''physical'' pain. [[spoiler: The crowning example of this trope takes place in Episode 67.]]
* BackstabbingTheAlphaBitch: [[spoiler: Season 4's main plot seems to be Brittnay doing this to Mackenzie. After 8-and-a-half years, she's had enough of her. They reconcile in the end.]]
* BatterUp: Her WeaponOfChoice is a metal baseball bat.
* BerserkButton: Saison in general, but ''especially'' her VerbalTic of "How do you say...?" Also, lying about your origin.
-->"Really? Did you ''really'' just ask how to say 'menage a trois'? IT'S A FUCKING ''FRENCH'' WORD, YOU LITTLE ''BITCH''."
* BetaBitch: Being the Co-Head Vice Captain of the Cheer Squad to Mackenzie's Head Cheerleader and all.
* BitchWithAHeartOfGold: The heart of gold is ''deep'' under her bitchy temper. Is good friends with those she sees as genuinely nice (Trisha, Amberlynn, and Tristan).
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: A stereotypical example for the most part, especially when around her mother.
* BreakoutCharacter: Becomes the most featured character from mid-Season 3 onward.
* BrutalHonesty: Let's face it; she doesn't appreciate lying (even when it ''should'' be necessary).
* CryCute: Tears up at Amberlynn's speech in Episode 13, and her voice becomes shaky as she talks when [[spoiler: when she learns that Mackenzie was the one who blew up her car, in Episode 58.]]
* DaddysGirl: Implied during a phone call with her Mom in Episode 25, and an episode of ''The Trisha Show''. After all, Brittnay says that she (Brittnay) is "his fucking lovely daughter".
* {{Deuteragonist}}: In the first season, she shares this role with Shay, but since then, she's been the second most prominent character. In Season 4, the roles with her and Mackenzie are switched.
* DumbBlonde: A tad; well, she just doesn't think before she charges in.
* EmbarrassingDampSheets: In Episode 50, [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents her mother]] mentions that she still used to [[PottyFailure wet the bed]] at the age of three, but--
-->'''Brittnay''': Mom! ''No!''...I said no!... I don't care!... I said no! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! ''Stop it!''

-->'''Kid Shay''': Do you think anyone will notice I'm bald?
-->'''Kid Mackenzie''': Mmm...no.
-->'''Kid Rachel''': Not at all.
-->'''[[MouthyKid Kid Brittnay]]''': [[DeadpanSnarker You're fucking kidding, right?]]
-->'''Kid Mackenzie''': ''[[FirstNameUltimatum Brittnay!]]'' Jesus Christ.
* EthicalSlut: She gives out hand jobs and anal sex, but she's saving her "vag-inity" for someone special. [[ExactWords Technically fits the description of virginity.]]
* FagHag: Seems to be becoming one for Tristan. [[spoiler: However, there have been some hints that she may not be entirely straight, non-canon or not.]]
* {{Fangirl}}: For ''{{Series/Glee}}.'' [[CharacterizationMarchesOn However, this is eventually forgotten about as the years go on.]]
* FatalFlaw: Wrath; it comes back to bite her mid-Season 3.
* HairTriggerTemper: Like you read about. Capable of violence against anyone and anything.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Her type of bitchiness is almost always PlayedForLaughs.
* HiredGuns: "Brittnay Matthews: Mercenary Cheerleader", when she's a free agent in Season 4 [[spoiler:after leaving the Cheer Squad.]]
* HotBlooded: Once again, like you read about.
* InsultOfEndearment: She and Tristan playfully insult each other all the time, but are incredibly close friends.
* LadySwearsALot: Even more than everybody else, if you take count throughout the series thus far.
* LikeMotherUnlikeDaughter: To Veronica, most of the time; her mother is quite reserved, and Brittnay, well...
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Platonic version; the Masculine Girl to [[CampGay Tristan's]] Feminine Boy.
* TheMcCoy: Prefers to act on her emotions.
* NeverLiveItDown:
** In-universe. Second-rate handjobs.
** To her, Rachel Tice eating a roly-poly in the "goddamn third grade". She's always one to mention it directly at her face.
* [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]]: [[spoiler: In episode 67, she outfights and kills an entire squad of mercenary cheerleaders that Mackenzie sent after to retrieve a video, out of self-defense.]]
* PrankCall: Does one in "Judy & Red in the Morning" under the name of "Witney Matthews" along with a fake calm-sounding voice, until cussing them out shortly afterwards and abruptly hangs up.
* ReallyGetsAround: So much so that when Trisha learns someone is pregnant, she immediately assumes it's Brittnay. Mackenzie also makes that conclusion.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Mackenzie's and Trisha's Blues, being the loudest and most HotBlooded of the three.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Mackenzie.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Pulls this on the possibility of having her own TV show... under the condition that she couldn't curse or make references to sex.
* SeriousBusiness: ''Series/GossipGirl'' is ''not'' better than ''{{Series/Glee}}''!
* SitcomArchEnemy: To [[ReallyGetsAround Cameron Van Buren]] and Saison Marguerite, though the former is more argumentative than the latter ever will be.
* SmugSnake: Maybe even morseo than Mackenzie.
* SpoiledBrat: Yells at her mom about the Nissan Leaf she bought her after [[spoiler:Mackenzie]] had blown up her previous car, and constantly tells her to buy things for her.
* TheStarscream: Though this has been downplayed, and then it's taken to an all-time low in Season 4.
* TechnicalVirgin: She's saving herself for the right man... by only giving ([[RunningGag second-rate]]) handjobs and having anal sex.
* {{Tsundere}}: An extreme Type A; she saves the Dere side for people she genuinely cares about.
* UnstoppableRage: Once she starts beating someone up, it's unlikely for her to stop anytime soon.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Bitchy? Hell yes. SurroundedByIdiots, just like Mackenzie? Yeah...
* VomitDiscretionShot: If you take note throughout the series, you'll discover that Brittnay is actually very squeamish, throwing up and gagging the most times out of any character.
* WhatTheHellHero: She is legitimately distressed that [[spoiler: Mackenzie blew up her car and manipulated her into punching Jenna Darabond. And it seems Brittnay has planned her own revenge on Mackenzie come Season 4.]]

The nicest member of the Cheer Squad, something of a ditz, and NOT someone to underestimate.

----
* {{Adorkable}}: She's more prone to geek-out moments than the other cheerleaders, and fans love her for it.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: She's a bit darker skinned than some people. Coincidentally, this is also justified as she has an Italian surname, making her ''somewhat'' ethnic.
* ArchEnemy: At this point, Ashley Katchadourian. Ashley seems to be the only person whom Trisha can be naturally and intentionally nasty towards on a regular basis. {{Subverted}} as of the beginning of Season Three, when she finds out poor Ashley was simply caught in the crossfire between other feuding parties, and was more or less dragged into it without her knowledge, at which point Trisha feels terrible and stands up for Ashley, telling the others to leave her be.
* AudienceSurrogate: In episode 31, she's the one to Lampshade how everything that's happened in the show so far is finally making sense.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She can be kind of bitchy if she's up to it. [[spoiler: Then episode 70 has Shay Van Buren learn this the hard way when Trisha completely destroys her popularity thanks to a video of Shay going on a [[InVinoVeritas drunken rant.]]]]
* BookDumb: It's clear she's not going to be class valedictorian anytime soon, but she ''does'' have knowledge in certain areas -- cheerleading, paperwork, cameras, etc.
* BrainlessBeauty: To quote Matthew Derringer from Episode 46: [[BeYourself "My baby doesn't need to worry about spelling good when she spends so much time looking good."]]
* BreakoutCharacter: She received her own spin-off, "The Trisha Show," with Atchison's Trisha as co-host. She, along with Deandra [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl9E5wqQP1g also announced the nominees]] for Best Lifestyle Series awards at the Streamys Awards.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: She's definitely rather flighty and ditsy, but when it comes to knowledge the various rules and regulations associated with Overland Park's social ladder? Trisha can't be topped.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: She's a lot bitchier than normal in the first episode, with no real reason behind it, unlike later episodes where she bitches out [[spoiler:Ashley Katchadourian]], who pretty much deserves it. [[spoiler: Except not really]].
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Trisha's clearly on her own planet half the time.
* CreepyMonotone: At least in the first episode, though it isn't exactly creepy until she talks about someone's dad dying. [[VocalEvolution She eventually drops the monotone part in her voice, though.]]
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Implied to be the case with Matthew Derringer ("Oh, Dad, you were so wrong."). Her mom, however, seems to like Matthew just fine.
* TheDitz: She's not terribly bright, though she has more going on than you'd think.
* DumbIsGood: Nicest girl among the cast, with the exceptions of Amberlynn and Trisha 2.
* FieryRedhead: Averted most of the time, but played straight when she ''really'' gets mad.
* {{Flanderization}}: Sure, she made somewhat obvious statements in earlier episodes, but she wasn't the airhead that later episodes show her as.
--> '''Trisha:''' OK, who the fuck is watching the door? How did a nine-year-old get in here?
* {{Foil}}: To Trisha 2. Trisha is (usually) sweet, somewhat ditzy but is smarter than she looks and has her own skill set that comes in handy more often than you'd think. Trisha 2? Sweet, but genuinely an idiot.
* FriendlyEnemy: She's made friends with Mikayla Van Buren and the Atchison cheer squad's Trisha, and no one really has a problem with this.
* GeniusDitz:
** She's not very book smart and misunderstands sarcasm, but when it comes to Cheer Squad regulations she's really on the ball.
** As of Episode 63, it's also revealed that she knows a thing or two about cameras.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Like the rest of the cheer squad, she is girly, but is into superhero stuff. She also knows quite a bit about tech and AV stuff, which is quite unusual for a cheerleader.
* TheHeart: She's pretty much the only member of the Squad who can get along with everybody else, and in the fourth season [[spoiler: she's the only one who can get Brittnay and Mackenzie to actually apologize to one another.]] This is also because she legitimately cares about her teammates and has yet to actually do anything to hurt them.
* HiddenDepths: In the Season 4 finale, she tells Brittnay and Mackenzie that she joined the cheer squad because they made her believe in something -- specifically, they made her believe that she was awesome. This implies Trisha may have had some self-esteem issues in the past, which does make sense when you consider how easily she's swayed by Mackenzie and Brittnay's opinions.
* KarmicProtection: [[spoiler: She's being spared by Brittnay because Brittnay considers her a true friend as Trisha has never done anything to hurt her.]]
* TheKirk: Being the only one who can settle conflicts between Mackenzie and Brittnay.
* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: With Trish. They're ''just'' alike.
* LovableAlphaBitch: She definitely plays girl politics with the others, and is capable of genuine nastiness if she's pissed off enough, but for the most part is a good-natured ditz, rather than outright ''mean''.
* MoralityPet: To Brittnay, Mackenzie, and Mikayla; none of them are very nice people, but they ''do'' care for Trisha, very, very much.
* MotorMouth: When listing off rules and policies having to do with cheer squad business.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: To discovering Ashley Katchadourian was ''not'' in charge of the door.]]
** [[spoiler: Of course, Trisha's only form of apologizing was saying "No hard feelings" when she saw Ashley for the first time after prom. In episode 31 she ''really'' has this moment when she learns about Jenna Darabond's evil plan and awkwardly motions to Ashley. She attempts to make up for her behavior by asking Mackenzie and the others to leave Ashley alone.]]
* NiceGirl: The only time she ever does anything truly mean-spirited is when she [[spoiler:attacks Ashley on prom night]] and [[spoiler: destroy's Shay Van Buren's popularity]].
* NiceToTheWaiter: She's on friendly terms with the school janitor, to the point of being on a first-name basis.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: As one of the three characters who debuted in the first episode, she's a knockoff doll from the dollar store instead of a Franchise/{{Barbie}} or Franchise/DisneyPrincess. Starting from when she first appeared in her cheer uniform, this now only applies to her head.
* NotSoHarmless: As Ashley Katchadourian and [[spoiler: Shay Van Buren]] have learned.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: In a sense. She apparently is in charge of all formal paperwork for the Cheer Squad.
* OddFriendship: Seems to have formed a IntergenerationalFriendship with Mikayla Van Buren.
* OfficialCouple: With Matthew Derringer.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Whenever she slips out of her usual laid back tone, prepare for some shit to go down.
* OnlyChildSyndrome
* PopCulturedBadass: Makes frequent references to movies whenever she's verbally destroying someone. BenAffleck, anyone?
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Trisha 2's (NOTE: The differences are as minor as the ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'' example.) and Brittnay's Reds, and the Red to Mackenzie's Blue.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Trisha 2.
* SeriousBusiness: She's "the cheer squad scheduling council" and she takes this job ''very'' seriously.
* ScheduleFanatic: Normally, Trisha's a bit of TheDitz, but when it comes to the cheer squad's schedule, she's incredibly thorough and competent.
* SkewedPriorities: Prone to this sometimes.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Kind to others and keen on maintaining friendships. Also took [[spoiler:Deandra's loss of arms]] rather personally.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type B. Ashley has learnt the hard way to ''never'' get on Trisha's bad side...
* UndyingLoyalty: She has this to Brittnay ''and'' Mackenzie, which causes tension in Season Four.
* [[{{Manchild}} Womanchild]]: It's pretty clear she hasn't matured much since elementary school.

----
* ArchEnemy: At this point it's pretty clear she's Trisha's.
* BackstabbingTheAlphaBitch: [[spoiler: Planning it for a while. Officially backstabbed when it came to cheer nationals as she joined the Atchison High cheer squad so her own squad would be unable to compete now that there are only five of them.]]
* BadassLongcoat: Her PaperThinDisguise at best, plus CoolShades. ([[Funny/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool Pfft]], "A Lesbian InspectorGadget"...)
* BadLiar
* BreakoutCharacter: Since she got involved with the Atchison High cheer squad, there have been episodes where in which give her an extensive amount of screen time.
* BrokenBird: She's been suffering from so much anxiety that her mom's been sneaking medication into her food and her doctor's told her she has ulcers.
* ButtMonkey: Cemented in episode 22 when Deandra tosses her across the mall as a demonstration of her robot arm's strength, followed by Ashley's rather pathetic pleas for someone to help her going unheard.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Averted. She has the lowest vocal range of the female characters (CrossDressingVoices don't count), but she's rather wimpy. [[spoiler: However, it's played straight when she gives out inspirational speeches.]]
* DemotedToExtra: Invoked in-universe when she asks to be left out of the current conflict after all she's gone through. However, she has a pretty prominent role in episode 58.
* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: Getting completely annihilated by Trisha's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and having her boyfriend make out with Brittnay on prom night all in response to something she wasn't responsible for.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Episode 15 implies Ashley is planning on getting revenge for what Trisha and the others did to her.]]
* TheGhost: Until episode 11.
* MeaningfulName: Her last name sounds like "Catch a door."
* {{Misblamed}}: [[spoiler: Jenna Darabond was supposed to watching the door, but Deandra said it was Ashley that let her in, so Trisha blamed her.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler: At least in Season 2.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: She gets blamed for Deandra's maiming because she wasn't watching the door when she was supposed to, though it turns out she really wasn't in charge at all.]]
* OneHeadShorter: Than everyone expect the children, like Rachel, though Ashley is ''slightly'' taller than Rachel.
* RunningGag: Deandra mistaking her for a (tiny) flasher. It's continually brought up when recalling what happened several weeks prior to cheer nationals.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In Episode 21. And she is ''terrible'' at it. Brittnay lampshades it immediately.
* TrueNeutral:[[invoked]] Ashley Katchadourian returns in Episode 31 but is not interested with having to do with anything as of late and is just set on doing her own thing, steering away from the [[InsistentTerminology shitstorm]] as much as possible. Trisha acknowledges her on that path.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She's responsible for the entire series starting off all because she wasn't watching the door to the girls bathroom. [[spoiler: Though it turns out she wasn't responsible for watching the door.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: She didn't sound anything beyond conniving and was quite timid when she was first seen. But after Trisha lashes out on her for [[spoiler: leaving the door unguarded which lead to Deandra getting her arms ripped off]], she's been bitter ever since. She didn't even forgive Trisha after apologizing to her.
** However, she [[spoiler: gives a sweet and heartfelt speech about being free to like the things you like regardless if people think it's popular or not and inspires others to follow her example.]]
-->'''Ashley''': [[spoiler: Guys, I've got an idea, just hear me out. Maybe we should just like whatever it is we like. And if other people start liking it too, it's not bad. In fact, it probably means that whatever it is we like, is pretty good. Only now we have people we can share it with. And if nobody else likes it, well that's okay too. Because it makes us happy.]]
-->'''Connor''': [[spoiler: Whoa. You are blowing my mind, Ashley Katchadourian.]]
-->'''Amberlynn''': [[spoiler: [[ThrowTheDogABone So small, yet so wise.]]]]
* VocalDissonance: She's quite a small girl, yet she has the deepest (natural) female voice among the cast.
* WalkingSpoiler: All that white, for Pete's sakes. It only applies if you're still new to the show and you've decided to watch the very first episode, as a good start for the more eventful things to come.

->'''Voiced by:''' Jessie Schneiderman
[[BrickJoke She's been absent because her dad has been sick a lot.]] As such, she's completely out of the loop regarding what's been going on at Overland Park.
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: She did seem to be ''very'' interested when Jenna Darabond revealed she [[BiTheWay swings both ways]]. She later asks to make out with several people, including Jenna Darabond, some random camera guy, Caitlin Cameron (a TV reporter), the manager of Pizza Street, and Bridget.
* AnythingThatMoves: Her {{Catchphrase}} practically seems to be "Do you wanna make out?".
* BrickJoke: In the first episode Trisha wondered if Jenna Darabond's dad was sick or died, then realized she was getting her confused with Jenna Dapananian. As it turns out, this Jenna's dad was the sick one.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: She started as someone who spent her time expressing annoyance that she has no idea what is going on, but by the third and fourth seasons she's now someone who ''really'' wants to make out while also getting extremely high.
* DeadpanSnarker: How she gets by when commenting on things nobody ever explained to her about.

----
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Depending whether she deserved to be stabbed to death by Tanya Berkowitz for burning down the mall and considering everything she did that kick started certain events that had gone on since the very first season or it's a case of DisproportionateRetribution (seriously, getting her sent to jail thanks to Mackenzie's plan was adequate enough), she had it coming]].
** [[spoiler: Wound up being a case of DeathIsCheap in Episode 67, [[BackForTheDead at least temporarily...]]]]
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: She burnt down the Atchison Mall and seemingly blew up Brittnay's car.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She comes off as sweet and kind around adults, but is a conniving sociopath.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: Her first actual appearance has her watching the Overland Park squad through a pair of binoculars, begrudgingly conceding that Mackenzie wins this round but that she'll have something else in store.

* ClingyJealousGirl: [[spoiler: Why she planned on messing with the cheer squad in the first place. When she saw Ashley kissing Justin and then Mackenzie shortly after, she went on with the plan that would start it all and in first doing, introduces herself as "Ashley Katchadourian" to Deandra after letting her in the bathroom. It went further when she saw that Justin made out with Brittnay.]]
* DaddysLittleVillain: [[spoiler: When she speaks to her father on the phone, she casually mentions that she's planning revenge. Given that her father is a senator, this is not very surprising.]]
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Subverted. She initially manages to survive her stabbing in a critical state. [[TemptingFate Just as the doctors are conversing how she'll likely make it]], the mercenaries Mackenzie hired crash through the wall and fatally run her over.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: Her schemes have included burning down a shopping mall just to get Tanya Berkowitz involved, and her form of retaliation against the cheerleaders invading hipster space was to blow up Brittnay's car.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Insists that she's not at all responsible for Deandra getting her arms ripped-off and calls it "super fucked up". However, given the fact that '''she''' was the one who masterminded everything in the show, it's obviously fake.]]

* {{Misblamed}}: [[spoiler: Gets punched in the face by Brittnay for blowing up her car but it's only known that she never did it after it was mentioned in the season finale that it was Mackenzie who really did it as part of a well-crafted plan involving the cheer squad and Jenna to be in a parent-teacher conference.
