* KarmaHoudini: Oh God, where to start... He is far too often EasilyForgiven, considering he [[spoiler:nearly raped Jenny, sold Blair to his uncle, abused her mentally then assaulted her...]]. Only the future will tell us if he manages to be remain it, especially when taking into count the last arc.


Added DiffLines:

* MoralEventHorizon: He has done ''many'' nasty things, but if [[spoiler:selling Blair to his uncle in order to keep his hotel]] isn't one, then [[spoiler:abusing her mentally and finally assaulting her definitly crosses it]]. Though, Check being the JerkSue and KarmaHoudini he is, he will probably turn out just fine and forgiven by everyone. ''Again''.

!!Dorota Kishlovsky
-->"''Remember, God always watching, Miss Blair.''"

Blair's nanny/maid/sidekick. Dorota is actually a Polish duchess but she moved to America to escape an unhappy marriage and began to work for the Waldorfs. In many ways the real mother figure in Blair's life and the person who does most of Blair's legwork for her.

* AscendedExtra: Started out as a background character but evolved into Blair's eternal sidekick. Dorota got a backstory in the webisodes "''Chasing Dorota''" and had an entire episode revolve around her wedding day.
* BetaCouple: She and Vanya (Chuck's doorman). Chuck actually [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming helped Vanya win Dorota's heart]], and he threw their wedding.
* EnsembleDarkhorse
* HappinessInSlavery: Pretty much a modern example.
* LongLostRelative: Her estranged husband shows up in ''Chasing Dorota''.
* MamaBear: Towards Blair.
* OlderSidekick: Blair's a teenager and while we haven't been given Dorota's exact age her actress is in her thirties. And Cyrus has confirmed that she practically raised Blair, meaning she ought to be at least ten years Blair's senior.
* ParentalSubstitute: As noted above she practically raised Blair.
* ServileSnarker: Though mostly the facial expressions she makes when Blair says or does something she deems snark-worthy. Dubbed [[FanNickname Dorota's WTF face]] by the fans.
* ShipperOnDeck: She always wants what is best for Blair, and seems pretty convinced that Chuck is the person Blair is meant to be with.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess
* UndyingLoyalty: She is always on Blair's side, no matter what.
