Natter + it is entirely possible for him to be both Latino and Filipino like the actor


* MistakenNationality: Implied. He's frequently pegged to be latino, but if his expression when asked about his 'abuela' is anything to go by, we can assume this is not the case. His mother, Claudelle, is Filipino but we don't know about his father.
** Made more confusing by the fact that the actor himself is Filipino and Puerto Rican.

Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Misuse of Raised As The Opposite Gender as applied to a transgender character. Per Is This An Example?, this doesn't count.


* RaisedAsTheOppositeGender: He was designated female at birth, but identifies as a boy.

Dewicked trope


* AdultFear: His ex-girlfriend was pregnant when he got captured. He only agreed to part of Hap's "study" because he thought he'd get money to take care of the baby. He's never met his son and fears he thinks he abandoned him.

* AmbiguousGender: Michelle presents as female, but her alternate self is a transgender boy. In the finale, when [[spoiler: Karim ([[MindScrew possibly]]) finds her soul behind the Rose Window]], Michelle has a more masculine appearance but still answers to the feminine name. Its possible that Michelle does identify as transgender, but is still in the closet, unlike Buck.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: She’s a very nice woman. However, should she ever be pushed, she will fight back. An example is at the end of “Angel of Death” where she [[spoiler:lunges at Hap when they reunite in another dimension.]]



* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has blonde hair and is a sweet woman. In the season 1 finale, she [[spoiler:convinced Homer to heal the sheriff’s wife because she couldn’t stand seeing her suffering, even though healing the sheriff’s wife would result in proving Hap right about them.]]



* HatesBeingTouched: The OA reacts violently when she's touched, which stems from spending seven years without touching another human being.

Added DiffLines:

* BigBad: He serves as the primary antagonist of the series, kidnapping people for his experiments, lying and manipulating others to benefit him and his research, and [[spoiler:killing people for his own survival.]]


Added DiffLines:

* PetTheDog: A literal example in the first episode. When he sent his dog to attack OA, he became concerned when she actually bit the dog.
