History Characters / AdventuresInOdysseyChildCharacters

* BookDumb: He doesn’t know that “electric” only has one “l” and that “week” isn't spelled “weck”.

* MaliciousSlander: Helps to spread some in “Rumor Has It”.

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every episode in which he learns how to live out a certain virtue is formatted “Isaac the [theme of the episode]”.

* BookDumb: He’s not very academically adept, and he continuously has trouble pronouncing some of the words he reads and hears.

* WomenAreWiser: Downplayed, but she's a bit more levelheaded than Alex and Cal during their investigation into AREM's identity in the "Grand Opening" two-parter; while they come up with increasingly complicated EpilepticTrees about what the name could mean, Sarah suggests that it might be Jared because it actually sounds like the sort of thing he would do. [[spoiler:She's wrong, but it's not a bad guess.]]

-->'''Liz:''' How’s this for my opening line: “March 1st, 10:32 AM. A teeming mass of humanity waits for a glimmer of hope—a hope that will soon be dashed to smithereens upon the rocks of deception!”

* HollywoodToneDeaf: Shown during her auditions for the school choir in “For Trying Out Loud”, although it probably doesn’t help that the song she chose was “I’m a Little Teapot”.

* NightmareFetishist: Shows some signs of it in “Slumber Party”, where she’s excited to watch a zombie movie and gleefully recounts a scene where a zombie gets its leg stuck in a dishwasher.

->'''Last appearance:''' “Exactly as Planned”

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Marvin sometimes considers her to be this, as in “It’s All About Me” when he complains that she’s stealing his comic books.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: He repeatedly attempts to convince the mentally ill Lester that his invisible dog Ralph isn’t real in “The Invisible Dog”, but he really does mean well and he just genuinely doesn’t see how Ralph isn’t a roadblock to Lester’s needs.

* CrazyPrepared: When visions of being seen as a superhero go to his head in "Unrelatable," he gathers together an air horn and some pepper spray in preparation for a ''bear attack''. [[spoiler:It turns out to come in handy when he and Connie come face to face with one.]]

* IKnowWhatYouFear: "Unrelatable" [[spoiler:turns out to have been this kind of episode for her all along. For most of it, we are led to believe something is bothering her that just makes her not want to spend time with her family, but Wyatt is able to figure out that she is just trying to avoid having to deal with water at all costs due to trauma from "Jumping Off, Jumping In." She is too ashamed to admit this and hides it for a good majority of the episode.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Calling her heartless and snobby is understating it. Her EstablishingCharacterMoment in "Kidsboro" is [[spoiler:faking a scandal to get the leaders of the town to resign so she could take over, and showing no remorse when caught.]] She also [[spoiler:teams with Jay to start a revolt during a class taught by substitute teacher Katrina while manipulating Olivia into signing a petition that says Katrina wasn't a good teacher, resulting in Katrina resigning]] and [[spoiler:double-crosses Jules and abandons her when her credit card is frozen when she's about to pay for an expensive dinner.]]

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Much more likely to have humanizing moments in his earlier appearances; later on he became more two-dimensional and cruel.

* IncrediblyLamePun: When Bart asks Whit if he’s there to shop or to gloat in “The Living Nativity” and Whit replies that he’s there to shop, Rodney quips that “all the gloats are in the nativity scene with the sheep”.

* OverprotectiveDad: Uses hers to her advantage, reminding Jared about her dad's opinion of people who go snooping through their yard and that he was apparently a college linebacker.

* KidDetective: The Jones half of the Jones and Parker Detective Agency.

* TheAtoner: Decides to stray from the bad path his father led him down, thanks in no small part to Katrina having faith that there was good in him. This, combined with other occurrences over the course of the show, are what led to him becoming a foster child of the Meltsners come "The Ties That Bind" once he was released from juvenile detention.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Calling her heartless and snobby is understating it. Her EstablishingCharacterMoment in "Kidsboro" is [[spoiler:faking a scandal to get the leaders of the town to resign so she could take over, and showing no remorse when caught.]] She also [[spoiler:double-crosses Jules and abandons her when her credit card is frozen when she's about to pay for an expensive dinner.]]

* [[ICanChangeMyBeloved I Can Change My Bully]]: It’s completely non-romantic (in contrast to the actual trope name), but “Changing Rodney” is devoted to her attempts to make Rodney Rathbone a better person. She thinks it’s working, up until [[ManipulativeBastard he gets ahold of test answers, asks her to help return them, and then blames her for stealing them]]. Her lesson was summed up nicely by Rodney himself:

* GrumpyBear

* [[MrViceGuy Ms. Vice Gal]]: She tends to get wrapped up in popularity and the opinions of others, per episodes like "Something Cliqued Between Us", "What Do You Think?", and "Tales of a Small-Town Thug".

* TastesLikeDiabetes: The song she starts to play in “The Coolest Dog” is entitled “The Rose Petal of Love”.

* WhatAnIdiot: He's repeatedly called out on his rookie mistakes in "Gathering Thunder"—not bothering to scout out the area around the war memorial the Bones were vandalizing (a civilian was nearby and reported the whole story), not cluing in to the possibility that the Bones have a spy and that it might be the one person who has a connection with a goody-two-shoes kid and has wavered in his loyalty before (Butch was the spy who helped the Israelites undo the Bones' vandalism), and going out and showing his face to a hardware store clerk to buy spray paint for a hit that would surely be reported in the paper the next day (Jellyfish irritably points out that the clerk might get suspicious and be able to identify the culprit).

* NotSoDifferent: Draws parallels between Rodney and himself in “Missing Person”, as both of them felt the need to run away under pressure from unwitting fathers.

* NotSoDifferent: Mandy draws a pointed comparison between Brenda Frazier, whom Liz held in disdain because she pitched a fit over a tiny stain on her dress during the Young Miss Odyssey Contest, and Liz, who outright quit the competition because of a zit on her nose.

* DontYouDarePityMe: Explored at length in "Bridget, Redefined," where she gets absolutely fed up with the constant well wishes, pity, and sympathy of seemingly everyone around her due to her military father having to be away all the time. It culminates with her deciding to shout everyone down about it when she has the opportunity to go on stage at an assembly... [[spoilers:which backfires spectacularly when it turns out her father was on the phone and heard every word of her speech.]]
