*AbusiveParents: Downplayed, as she has an easygoing father and a firm-yet-caring mother. However, when Layan accuses her of being a pervert, her mother believes the testimony of several other girls rather than Mariam herself.



* CreateYourOwnHero: [[spoiler: Layan's vicious bullying of Mariam is what incites Mariam to get revenge on her and the other bullies. Had they not been bullying her so much, the entire plot of Season 1 wouldn't have happened.]]
*TheChessmaster: She orchestrates the downfall of Ruka and Layan by using their insecurities against them - Ruka's hijab, Layan's psychotic family - and constructs fake social media accounts and elaborate traps to do so.

*{{Hypocrite}}: Dina and Noaf point out that while she hates bullies, many of the things she does are no different from what they've done especially when it comes to the topic of SlutShaming. For example, she's angry that Reina and Layan put red nail polish on Dina's skirt, making it look like she menstruated. But she also exposed Ruka's hijab-less photos to everyone at the school and her family, and also ratted out Layan having a boyfriend to her fundamentalist, purity-obsessed family.
* JerkassHasAPoint: In their attempt to talk Mariam down of getting revenge on Layan, when they mention about "doing the right thing", Mariam shuts both Dina and Noaf up with an argument that they cannot argue with, given that they neglected to speak up in Mariam's defense in the past.
--> '''Mariam''': "The right thing"? The right thing would've been to not turn your back on your friend when she needed you. The right thing would've been to stop them when they were beating me up. The right thing would've been to tell everyone what you saw. I'm sick of hearing about the right thing when you obviously don't know what that is. If you want to be hypocrites, that's your choice. ''But at least have the guts to admit it.''
*ManipulativeBitch: To expose Layan's GirlPosse, she pulls a fire alarm, and while everyone is outside she takes Layan's phone and publicizes a voice note of the three mocking Miss Abeer. Then, she makes a fake Facebook account and steals photos off the internet to seduce Ruka into taking off her hijab, so she can send the photo everywhere. And then, she discreetly drops the location of Layan's boyfriend to her [[MySisterIsOffLimits ax-crazy brother...]]
*MistakenForGay: Layan accuses her of groping her, and she's sent to a therapist later. After two weeks, she's allowed to return to school.



*ThousandYardStare: After she's completed her goals, she does this as everyone stares in horror at her, showing that she has no regrets. [[https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Mariam_(Alrawabi_School_For_Girls)?file=Ezgif-2-9027e4db16fc-compressed.webp See here]].

to:

*BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When Mariam announces she's going to give up her quest for {{revenge}} against Layan's group, Noaf and Dina urge her not to, saying that she's needed to bring restorative justice to the school. Later, they find themselves begging her not to go through with it.

Added DiffLines:

*StepfordSmiler: She tries to act happy with Layan and Rania, but they make her feel lesser (like forbidding her from tjoining the football tryouts, since they want the positions and they also desert her while they're partying with their boyfriends). That being said after she's expelled, the two show their caring side by trying ti visit her home.
*TokenReligiousTeammate: Implied because she wears a hijab, but it's later revealed that she comes from a very conservative family that pressure her to be perfect.

* [[spoiler:HeWhoFightsMonsters]]: [[spoiler:In the season one finale, her pinned hair, makeup, PsychoticSmirk and students flinching from her are all very reminiscent of [[AlphaBitch Layan]].]]
* PsychoticSmirk: Shots of her smile at the misfortune of the GirlPosse [[SanitySlippage grow longer and more intense as the series progresses]], [[spoiler:culminating in a protracted and eerie one in the season finale after orchestrating Layan's murder at the hands of her brother.]]
* VillainProtagonist: Starts off as the sweet, bubbly and kind sympathetic protagonist but then becomes apathetic and uncaring about the consequences of her revenge plot against Ruqqaya, Ruqayyah, Rania and Layan.



* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Mariam’s plans get too far for her, she and Dina tell Mariam that they’ve had enough and they won’t help her anymore. Mariam calls them out and says Nouf cowardly stayed silent when Mariam was assaulted and falsely accused, and even now is looking for a way out when Mariam wants revenge.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She refuses to tell the principal that Mariam got assaulted physically by the trio to near death or that Mariam didn’t touch Layan at all in the locker room, because she’s afraid that if she does, everyone will think badly of her. Because of her silence, Mariam’s mental health deteriorates and she starts thinking of ways to get revenge on Layan, Ruqqaya and Rania.

to:

* BigSisterInstinct: To her DelicateAndSickly younger sister.
* HeldBackInSchool: Should have graduated the previous year, but was expelled for distributing exam answers and struggled to find another.
* HighSchoolHustler: Downplayed. She was expelled from her last school for hacking and distrubuting exam answers, but did it for the academically struggling students, not money. She uses her skills to forward ThePlan and [[spoiler:stops further distribution of Mariam's diary, but backs out when she believes it has gone too far.]]

!!Layan's GirlPosse
[[folder: In General]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Severely beat Mariam for telling on Layan's school absence, and induce an asthma attack in Noaf's little sister simply because they ''suspected'' Noaf had messed with them.
* WouldHurtAChild: Frighten Noaf's little sister and steal her inhaler, [[AsthmaPeril causing her to have an asthma attack.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Layan]]
Layan Murad Fathi, the AlphaBitch of Al-Rawabi's GirlPosse.
----
* AlphaBitch:
* RichBitch: Most apparent when intimidating Sumayya, the school caretaker trying to feed her family.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Gets away with everything from truancy to hospitalising Mariam, due to being from a politically powerful father and [[spoiler:dating the principal's son.]] Deconstructed when [[spoiler:her brother Hasem shoots her in an [[HonorBeforeReason attempt to protect the reputation of the family]].]]
* VillainousFriendship: Despite being the AlphaBitch of the school, Layan does seem to genuinely care for her friends, defending and comforting Ruqayyah after [[spoiler:a photo of her without her hijab is leaked. She also visits Ruqayyah's house after she is pulled out of school.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Rania]]
* AntiVillain: Doesn't actually take direct part in beating up Mariam, pranking Dina. Then again, she doesn't call it out, helps cover up and laughs at it.
* BetaBitch
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Ruqayyah]]
* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:When a photo of her without her hijab is leaked]].
* GirlyBruiser: Modestly dressed and the least athletic of the trio, her role in the GirlPosse's bullying is nonetheless a very physical one, landing the most hits on Mariam through repeated kicking and shaking down Noaf's little sister.
* ParentalFavoritism: The glimpse into her home life shows her mother heavily favours her sister and intensely berating Ruqayyah for being not as pretty or marriageable. It certainly becomes [[FridgeBrilliance less surprising]] that [[spoiler:"Tareq" (actually Mariam, Noaf and Dina) was able to manipulate her into removing her hijab for a photo by calling her beautiful.]]
[[/folder]]

!!School Faculty
[[folder: Principal Faten Qadi]]
* AdultsAreUseless: Justified but also deconstructed.
* [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice Job Breaking It, Villain]] Her refusal to crack down on Layan's bullying and skipping school due to her powerful family [[spoiler:ends up placing both the school and her ''own son'' in existential danger from Layan's family.]]
