Laura James
- The Ace: Won several challenges and was well-liked by the judges during the show.
- Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Pre-makeover.
- Everyone Loves Blondes: Post-makeover.
- Generation Xerox: Her mother was a model.
- Ice Queen: While not as bad as Kristin, her strong belief in the This Is a Competition mindset made her appear as this.
- I'm Not Here to Make Friends: Verbatim. It's usually a losing contestant that says this.
- Odd Friendship: Seems to develop one with Kristin.
- Subverted as of Kristin's elimination. Apparently Kristin never saw their friendship as genuine.
- Statuesque Stunner: she is 6'0''
- This Is a Competition: Again, verbatim, and over and over and over, and...
- Toxic Friend Influence: Kristin is one to her. Laura could actually be a really nice girl, as we saw at the beginning of the cycle. But whenever she's around Kristin a meaner side of her comes out (especially when it comes to Leila). And the fans noticed, judging by the comments left on the America's Next Top Model's Official Facebook Page.
- Two First Names: Laura James.
Kiara Belen
- 11th-Hour Superpower: During the top four, she was the only contestant not to win any best photo while her three competitors won at least two. Then came the Dream Come true photoshoot.
- Parental Neglect: By her mom.
- Promotion to Parent: She was raising her siblings.
- Sit Com Arch Nemesis: To Darian.
- Take That, Audience!: In episode 7.
Leila Goldkuhl
- Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Pre-makeover.
- Back from Elimination: Thanks to the social media vote in episode 9.
- Celebrity Resemblance: To Kristen Stewart, as noted by the judges during her audition.
- Everyone Loves Blondes: Post-makeover.
- I'm Not Here to Make Friends: Her variant ("we don't have to be friends") was in response to Laura's actions at preparations for the charity runway walk.
- Not Quite Eliminated: She was eliminated, but then brought back to the online vote.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Pre-makeover.
- The Runner-Up Takes It All: One of the very few Top Model alumni to actually make a name for herself in the high fashion sector.
- Statuesque Stunner: She is 5'11", and one of the tallest girls there.
Nastasia Scott
- Beware the Quiet Ones: She did really well in the competition despite having been Out of Focus early on. Then came the Shocking Elimination.
- Everyone Loves Blondes: Post-makeover.
- Genki Girl: Interestingly, she's also The Quiet One.
- Groin Attack: Accidentally did this to Rob Evans.
- Only Sane Woman: She avoided all the drama in the house, but had little screentime as a result.
- Out of Focus: At the beginning. Then she became the Ensemble Dark Horse.
Kristin Kagay
- Alpha Bitch: She was one in high school, and still holds some Alpha Bitch traits.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: According to Kiara: "a very pretty girl but a nasty person." For starters.
- Death Glare: Toward anyone who wins a Challenge or exceeds her in any way.
- Deadpan Snarker: Often made snarky comments in the confessional.
- Deliberate Injury Gambit: Attempted on Destiny in the hopes of getting her expelled.
- Former Teen Rebel: She said she was a mean girl in high school.
- Green-Eyed Monster: Is noticeably upset/jealous whenever another girl does better than her and is not above giving a Death Glare to whomever wins a challenge. Not even gal pal Laura is immune as Kristin has stated she wished Laura would either leave or start losing so that she could start winning. Keep in mind she had never been in the bottom two and the judges and social media vote seemed to love her.
- Hot-Blooded: She has a short temper.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Bitchy and rude she might be, but she did have a point about Victoria not being strong enough to handle the competition.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: And quite the Hypocrite, too. She gloats at Leila's misfortune but genuinely expects sympathy toward her predicament at the panel where she is eventually eliminated.
- Odd Friendship: Seems to develop one with Laura.
- Subverted as of her elimination. She admits that she disliked every girl in the competition and did not see any of them as a genuine friend.
- Pet the Dog: Allyssa's elimination is the only time we saw her vulnerable and compassionate side.
- Token Evil Teammate: Not a teammate per se, but you get the idea.
- Toxic Friend Influence: To Laura.
Victoria Henley
- Cloud Cuckoolander: Especially in later photo shoots!
- Homeschooled Kids: She was homeschooled by her mother her whole life, and went to an online college.
- I Want My Mommy!: Due to her Sanity Slippage, she became increasingly hysterical and dependent on calling her mother.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: She has long brown hair.
- Sanity Slippage: Between her eating and exercising habits, her rambling phone calls to her mother, and her crazy stories...
- Take That, Audience!: "So if you have a problem with my face, well... you're a racist!"

Destiny Strudwick
- But Not Too Bi: She's bisexual but has a boyfriend and doesn't want to be known for liking girls.
- Bifauxnen: Post-makeover.
- Face of a Thug: She considered herself a sensitive person rather than a tough chick.

- Brainy Brunette: She went to Harvard.
- Ivy League for Everyone: She goes to Harvard.
- Non-Gameplay Elimination: She made it to the underwear photo shoot, but quit before actually doing it.
- Reluctant Fanservice Girl: Decides not to participate in the nude photo shoot, and ends up quitting the competition (although whether or not the nude shoot was because of it is unknown).
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: She quits the show in episode 3.
Jessie Rabideau
- Male Gaze: Even though it was blurred out, her behind sure got a lot of attention.
- Older Than They Look: She's actually the oldest contestant this Cycle. Doesn't look like it though.
