History Characters / Gayle

* TookALevelInKindness: Related to CharacterizationMarchesOn above. Episode 10 concludes with [[spoiler the family so disgusted at Gayle claiming that Terry hooked up with her best friend Michaela's boyfriend, purely out of spite, that [[TheLastStraw Ira and Terry attempt to permanently move out of the house.]] Ira is never seen after Season 1, and Terry eventually returns three episodes into Season 2.]] Contrast that with Gayle going to rediculous lengths to spare David and Terry embarassment and suffering come Season 3. While as mentioned in VillainProtagonist below, Gayle [[AntiHero doesn't exactly becoming a morally-upstanding individual]], her relationship with her family is still far less hostile and toxic than it had been characterized as before.

-->'''Gayle:''' It’s nice to see an emotional range from you for once.

->'''Gayle:''' What's your favorite animal, Brendan?
->'''Brendan:''' Mosquito!
->'''Gayle:''' [wincing] Oh...

* TheFaceless: Always seen from the shoulders down.

* OnlySaneMan: PlayedWith. Purely in comparison to Gayle and Bonnie.

* NoFace: Always seen from the shoulders down.

[[caption-width-right:350:Local thespian.]]

* NiceGuy: {{Exaggerated}}. So nice that he never realizes when he’s being unhelpful.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: {{Downplayed.}} They're just very well-organized. Gayle considers them this, though.

[[caption-width-right:350:Still rationing her Rainforest Cafe references.]]

* HiveMind: PlayedWith and {{Parodied}}. Ride in a collective on Razor scooters in apparently perfect posture around the neighborhood in weirdly uniform outfits-- though they do this entirely by choice, have their own (albeit similar) personalities and otherwise are just a normal group of pre-teen friends. Though, they're ALL [[OneSteveLimit named Jenny.]] Gayle [[FauxHorrific initially treats]] them as this.

* GiftedlyBad: PlayedWith. Not necessarily a terrible actor, but not quite good enough to reach the Hollywood screens he apparently aims for.
* NiceGuy

* TheDitz: Considers the Drew Carey show her favorite book. Implied to be the product of [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Gayle and Bonnie]] experimenting with methods to stop parents from forcing their kids to be cool.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] Gayle and Bonnie bully her as much as they do each and everyone else, but they still invite her to social functions and plan with her on how to approach issues in Northbread.
