* CuteClumsyGirl: Charmaine invokes this, saying she likes rom-coms about women who fall down a lot.
* DamnedByFaintPraise: When Tara fears that she herself is the least interesting of all her personalities, Max assures her that of course she isn't. [[spoiler:Chicken]] is. This [[ActuallyPrettyFunny cheers her up]] a little.



* {{Jerkass}}: For the first six and a half episodes, Charmaine was pretty consistently a massive bitch about her sister's mental illness. She gets better, thankfully.

** Tara's alters in season 1 seem to act as the antagonists, being the direct cause of pretty much every conflict, with T especially being destructive. By Season 2 the alters, for the most part, show themselves as being good intentioned as coping mechanisms, or at the very least they're not outright malicious.

* ComingOutStory: In a rather unusual twist from the norm, Marshall has a coming out story during season 2, even though he was already openly gay to everyone from the start of season 1. But he spends the season having a very awkward experimentation with a female acquaintance before reaffirming that yep, he's still gay.
