History Literature / RoswellHigh

* TheCheerleader: Stacey for sure. Isabel would probably also been seen this way by the school at large.

The series mainly revolved around a group of [[SixStudentClique six teenagers]], three of which happened to be aliens.

* SixStudentClique: The characters fit this trope far better than FiveManBand.
** The Main Character - Max
** The Muscle - Michael
** The Quirk - Alex
** The Pretty One - Isabel
** The Smart One - Liz
** The Wild One - Maria in the quirky aspect. Isabel would also be this in the wild child aspect.
** [[TheSixthRanger The Seventh Ranger]] - Trevor embodies this the best, but also Cameron and Adam. (Although the latter also seems kind of like a TagalongKid, except he isn't actually any younger).

* SortingAlgorithmOfMortality: Up until Trever comes along, every alien outside of the core three meets an untimely death.

* VillainHasAPoint: Overall, Ray was the good alien while DuPre was the bad alien. However, the pod squad comes to agree with DuPre's position on the collective consciousness. After all, [[HitlerAteSugar even a cold-hearted murderer isn't necessarily wrong on every issue]].
* WrapItUp: Although it's not a TV show, the final novel in the series has a similiar feel to it, wrapping up loose ends. Apparently, a decision was made to end the series because the books being published for the TV show were selling better. Slightly ironic in that the show was later CutShort.

* TeenGenius: Liz and Max.
