!!!'''White Family'''

!!!'''Schraders'''

* ADayInTheLimelight: While normally a SatelliteCharacter to Hank or Skyler, there's a subplot in a Season 4 episode that revolves around her kleptomania.

* GeniusBruiser: While loud, overbearing, and seemingly dumb, Hank is a very skilled investigator, as seen in his work on the Fring case, beginning with his connection of Gale's murder to Gus Fring. This was hinted at early on, when he is able to find the hidden stash of meth hidden in Krazy-8's car, which Gomez couldn't locate earlier. His brawling prowess is well established throughout the series, especially in season 3's "I.F.T.", where, unarmed, he handily defeats two strong thuggish druggies in a bar, whilst taking a couple of hits to the face.

* {{Determinator}}: After being shot multiple times in "One Minute" by Marco Salamanca, he still manages to load Leonel's pistol with a handy bullet and kill Leonel with a round to the head. As of Season 5B, his fixation on [[spoiler:bringing down Walt before he dies of cancer]] is nearly all-consuming, overriding all other considerations, [[spoiler:including the safety of other people and even whether his evidence would hold up in court]].

* ImprobableInfantSurvival: [[spoiler:Played straight. Ultimately, however, she likely ''would'' have been killed on Gus' orders eventually had Walt not killed him first.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: In Season 4, "Open House", Skyler rules out using violence against Bogdan and refuses Saul's suggestion of calling an ICE raid on Bogdan, not wanting to get innocent immigrants in trouble, plus [[PragmaticVillainy they will be needed as employees anyway]].
** More so in Season 5 when she tells Walt point blank, she will not have their kids living in a house where murdering people and dealing drugs is treated as "shit happens".

* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: She's 17 years younger than Walt Jr.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She could be seen as this at times, as she plays innocent to get what she wants occasionally.

* PetTheDog: [[Spoiler: When confronting Saul in "Saul Gone", after she tears into him for Hank's murder, she then goes on to tear into him for Steve Gomez's murder as well, specifically bring up that because of what Saul helped Walt do, Steve's three children are now fatherless. During Saul's trial, she sits with Steve's widow and holds her to comfort her when it looks like Saul might get away with everything]].

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her first appearance is her substituting Walt's bacon for veggie bacon on his birthday, which shows her controlling tendencies.

* {{Irony}}: He butts heads several times with Jesse, as he's the 'face' of the Heisenberg operation on the street level and he can tell he's involved in the drug empire, not to mention he has NoSympathy for a drug-user like Pinkman was at the shows' beginning. This leads to a vicious beatdown he gives to Jesse after Walter distracts him from breaking into their 'Crystal Ship' by faking a phone call that Marie's been hospitalized to lure him away from the RV long enough for them to destroy the evidence and Hank ''[[RagebreakingPoint losing it]]'' when he realizes the truth and believes Jesse somehow orchestrated the call. Jesse is afterward understandably antagonistic towards Hank, planning to sue him for the assault against Walt's pleas to have some {{Revenge}} against him and being overjoyed after seeing Hank getting wheeled into the Hospital in critical condition after his run-in with the cousins. [[spoiler:In Season 5B, after Hank hits a complete dead-end trying to arrest Walter or find evidence of his crimes thanks to Walt's preparations, and Jesse figures out the truth behind Brock's poisoning and Walter's hand in it, both men realize they're equally invested in seeing Walter punished for his sins and strike an uneasy alliance that's actually successful in capturing Heisenberg at long last, if not for the Neo-Nazis' intervention]].

* KilledMidSentence: "Do what you're gonna d-" ''[Jack shoots him in the head]''
