History Characters / GleeOtherMajorCharacters

* AscendedExtra

* PretendPrejudice: [[DependingOnTheWriter It varies]], but Sue spews an incredible volume of invective at just about every conceivable group, while at the same time not really treating those groups markedly different from anybody else (her chief cheerleader/minion is Latina and a lesbian, she recruited Kurt (gay) and Mercedes (black) onto the team without a problem). She basically just seems to be a misanthrope who will use any insult at her disposal. Occasionally, she's been shown to have a much better understanding of privilege than Will "We're ''all'' minorities!" Schuester.

* BreakTheHaughty: She is a master at recovering from her defeats, but when karma bites her in the back, the results are explosive. Family is also a sore subject for her, her relationship with her mother being strained at best, she had to protect her sister during their childhood who was bullied because of her down syndrome (and who died during the show, leaving Sue devastated), and her baby also has down syndrome.

* DrivenToSuicide: After her HumiliationConga (see below), she attempts to commit "[[IncrediblyLamePun Sue-icide]]" (Though this was actually a feint.).

* PsychopathicWomanchild: Though she might view herself as the only sane person, Sue's melodramatic behavior, pathological need for control, petty rivalry against a group of teenagers and tendency to throw violent tantrums paint a picture of a person whose mental age lags far behind their physical age.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While Sue can be mean to pretty much anybody, the one person she shows absolutely no malice towards is her older sister, Jean, who was born with Down Syndrome. Her death in season 2 crushes her greatly.

* EnemyMine: Happens occasionally. She has an absolute hatred towards bullying (since her disabled sister was the target of it, and ironically she became quite a bully herself), which led her to team up with Will on some occasions, including season 6, when she is in on Will's plan to teach Vocal Adrenaline a lesson (and get back at them after what they did to Sheldon), and unleash her (real) hounds on them after having slashed the tires of their bus.

** HilariousInHindsight when you remember her actress, Creator/JaneLynch, ''is'' a lesbian.

* TheBeard: Mutually, with Santana.

* CoolLoser: While talented, handsome and charming, he and his Glee Club are looked down upon by all due to their focus on fun. [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist Rachel]] even has the gal to call joining his club "social suicide" [[AesopAmnesia despite owing it all to another glee club dismissed as exactly this]].

* [[MamaBear Papa Bear]]: Do ''NOT'' mess with the Glee kids, especially Puck.

* PartingWordsRegret: Burt bursts into tears while describing the last time he saw Finn. Finn was really upset about failing a test at collage and instead of hugging him and telling him it was going to be okay, Burt patted him on the back and told him to keep trying.

* LoveAtFirstNote: Adam explains that he first saw Kurt when he owned the song "[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Being Alive]]" from ''Theatre/{{Company}}'' and was instantly smitten.

[[caption-width-right:250:Let's get a few things straight. Blaine is too good for you, New Directions is a joke, and one of us has a hard-luck case of the gay face, and it ain't me.]]

The new captain of the Dalton Academy Warblers, who is openly gay, freely promiscuous, and sets his sights on Blaine the moment the two meet.

* AbortedArc: Save for a couple of [[EyeScream rather dangerous]] pranks, Sebastian arguably doesn't get that much more threatening than when he first appears. The build-up to full-blown antagonist is slow and steady through the first half of Season 3, but his development and story arc is somehow [[HandWave brought to a complete stop and instantly resolved]] in "On My Way," in which Karofsky's suicide attempt pushes him to become 'good,' effectively ending the threat he poses to the others. While this can be considered a 'complete' character development arc, the nature in which he is built up makes it seem like the writers were planning bigger things for him, but very suddenly decided against it. He then gets [[DemotedtoDragon demoted]] to a rather harmless background character in the fourth season in favor of new Warbler Captain Hunter Clarington.

* AllGaysArePromiscuous: He has a very active sex life, and he isn't shy about flaunting it.

-->'''Blaine:''' ...Sebastian, of course it was you [that stole the Nationals' Trophy].\\
'''Sebastian:''' No it wasn't. I swear. I turned over a new leaf, remember? No more bullying, blackmail, or salt this year.\\

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Sebastian might be a dick, but even he's not going to laugh off a suicide attempt, specially one he feels partially responsible for. Very much truth-in-television, as parts of the gay community that vocally disagree with each other will come together on that particular issue.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Sebastian affects a gentleman-like veneer of civility to belittle and demean people. He tells Kurt that he's going to steal Blaine away from him right to his face, is eager to use information Blaine accidentally discloses to the Warblers' advantage, openly states he's tired of playing nice against the New Directions, and attempts to blind Kurt with a rock salt laced slushie, though Blaine [[TakingtheBullet took the bullet]] for him. Sebastian does all of this with a smirk on his face.
* HeelRealization: He acts like a player who always win and treats people as eithers props to use, prizes to win, or obstacles to take down. But as he admitted, it's all fun and games until someone attempts suicide. Such a reality check knocks him down quite a number of pegs.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He rejects Dave's advances with [[JerkAss every bit of sympathy and tact]] we've come to expect from him (that is, [[KickTheDog none at all and making fun of Dave's weight and appearance]] at that). After Dave attempts suicide, Sebastian is horrified at the part he played, calls off an unrelated blackmail scheme against New Directions, and does a complete HeelFaceTurn.

** He calls Rachel 'a young Barbra Streisand' and Kurt 'an old Betty White.'

* ObviouslyEvil: His first conversation with Blaine is intercut with Santana--as Anita in ''Theatre/WestSideStory''--singing "A Boy Like That."

** He tends to take a trait that he knows about a person and just attach a nickname to him/her, regardless of whether the nickname is good or bad. He calls Rachel 'a young Barbra Streisand' and Blaine 'Gay Cyclops' in 'On My Way.' See TheNicknamer above.

* StraightGay: Devoid of any trace of campiness, and an all-around athlete to boot.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Tall, dark-haired, and very easy on the eyes.

* VillainousCrush: On Blaine. Though it is unclear whether he wants him as a boyfriend, or just another notch on his bedpost. Nevertheless, he wants Blaine as his alone.

* FreudianExcuse: One episode implies that at least part of the reason for her SuperOCD germophobia results from her ginger-supremacist parents making her clean glasses and silverware touched by a non-ginger server at a restaurant.

* SuperOCD: "[Ken] has seventy-four flaws." She's also great at setting tables.

* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: She has a condo in ''Boca'', has her own segment on the news, is a internationally ranked cheerleading coach. From the look of her house she has enough money to finance her Cheerios herself and then some. One wonders why she wants to take down Glee at all.

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor
* HeelFaceMole:
** [[SarcasmMode We'll give you a moment to get over this shocking revelation.]] [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], though; helping Shelby get back in contact with her biological daughter isn't quite the sinister motive that everyone expected.
** Of course when he finally does pull that "FaceHeelTurn" his first action is to perform with the rest of Vocal Adrenaline just for the sole purpose of psyching out New Directions, dumping Rachel ... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and TP-ing the choir room]].

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: The way she looks.

* SexyMentor: ''Oh so much''.
* ShesGotLegs: Makes sense for a dancing professionnal.
* ShowSomeLeg: Her dance performance.

* NiceHat: Always wears a baseball cap.
