History Characters / HighSchoolStory

* CoolLoser: She's shy and overly trusting but ends up bullied or ignored by seemingly most of the school.

* BareYourMidriff: The female Dancer's Level 7 and 10 outfits.

* TraumaButton: During the Trial by Fire arc in the main story, Kallie has an uncharacteristic FreakOut and then a HeroicBSOD at the sight of a fire that is sparked while she, Koh and the main character are conducting a chemistry experiment--and it's even more baffling to the latter two because Kallie grabs a fire extinguisher to put out what's essentially a ''tiny'' fire in a controlled space.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As an influential member of the school board she can get schools shut down and it's her job to inspect them but although she is tricked by Max and Kara's sabotage of the science fair she's still just doing her job. When the main group contact her with the information they stole from Hearst she meets them and takes it to the school board, ignoring that they could have only acquired that information illegally because it exposed the deep corruption at Hearst.

!!Kallie
[[quoteright:221:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/high_school_story_kallie.png]]
A writer who is recruited through the extra credit feature. Notable is that while the other main characters all belong to a normal student type and are unlocked in a specific order, she is the only writer available and can be unlocked any time after recruiting Nishan. She was homeschooled most of her life and initially only attends English class. However, after making friends with the main group and tutoring Julian she convinces her parents to let her transfer.

!!Shane
[[quoteright:220:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/high_school_story_shane.png]]
A male cheerleader hailing from Hearst High.

* CampGay: Implied. He addresses guys and girls alike with affectionate nicknames and generally acts rather flamboyant, but his orientation is ultimately up to the player.
* {{Catchphrase}}: “Take Out the trash.” His storyline involves coming up with a new one that’s worthy of memes. He can’t come up with a new one without it being forced.
* ExtremeDoormat: At least, while under Kara's thumb.
* TheFashionista: He's got an eye for good fashion.
* MemeticMutation: InUniverse, his telling the MC to “take out the trash” (take off whatever outfit you picked at a thrift shop) becomes a meme.
* StealingTheCredit: On the receiving end of Kara stealing credit for the routine he made. He teaches it to your school before Hearst gets to use it.

!!Fibikemi "Phoebe" Ayotunde
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/high_school_story_phoebe.png]]
Hearst High's prom queen.

* ActionGirl: Very proficient at martial arts, although her being prom queen means she has to keep that part of herself under wraps.
* BeneathTheMask: She ''really'' just wants to be able to cut loose and have fun, unrestrained from the shackles that her prom-queen title impose on her.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:And she gets her wish on joining your school]].
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: What she's expected to uphold as prom queen.

!!Derek
[[quoteright:221:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/high_school_story_derek.png]]
A member of Hearst High's football team.

* RealMenWearPink: [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Pink hair]], to be exact, albeit it's cut short.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Among Max's inner circle at Hearst. He makes an effort to make sure Max gets his homework in, and is actually civil to you and your schoolmates.

!!Natalie
[[quoteright:221:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/high_school_story_natalie.png]]
A member of Hearst High's cheerleading squad, and the new BetaBitch.

* JerkAss: Comes across as being even ''more'' of this than Kara herself, which...is really saying something.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: ...although she's not above joining forces with you to hold a fundraiser in aid of families who've suffered burning-out due to a fire that destroyed their apartment complex.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Her mother's the city's mayor, which in one quest gives Natalie the clout to take over an entire park for Hearst High's own use.

!!Principal Warren
Max and Mia's father, and the principal of Hearst High.
----
* AbusiveParents: Of the neglect variety, mostly, and both Mia and Max suffer for it. He's also hinted to be of the verbally-abusive variety, as Mia once pantomimes Principal Warren telling Max that emotions don't have a place in their household and that the kids should go live with their mother if they want sympathy.
* TheGhost: Frequently mentioned but almost never shown, except in Mia's Dream Date sequence; even then, he doesn't have a character-avatar of his own and has yet to say anything directly on-screen outside of narratives.

[[folder:Athena Academy]]
!!Lacey
The most popular girl at Athena, an all-girls private school. She seems nice at first and encourages the main group to hang around with them but it becomes clear that she's uptight and has a cruel streak. [[spoiler: She's also Pandora, the mysterious figure tormenting various students for monetary gains. She gets caught and sent to prison but is eventually released and starts dating Max.]]
----

* NiceHat: Both genders, in all outfits.

* BurgerFool: The male student's Level 10 outfit even has a burger-mask, to make the trope more literal.

* TheCheerleader; Obviously.

* AmbiguouslyBi / CampGay: He addresses guys and girls alike with affectionate nicknames.

The school's sports star and the main jock. He transfers from Hearst because Max gets all the glory and he never gets to play but quickly proves himself and leads the football team to success. He used to have anger issues but mellows significantly with the help of the main character and is incredibly loyal.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: During her character quest, she ends up adopting numerous animals, and gives them away at the end. The reason for this is because she is…

* BollywoodNerd

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold

* ClosetGeek
* TheRockStar

* ConspiracyTheorist

* BikerBabe

00

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: She tends to prefer long and rare words like ameliorate and celerity. Partially due to the fact that her storyline doubles as SAT prep and thus involves mini-games designed to improve the player's vocabulary.

* BandGeek: Duh.

* YourCheatingHeart

* YourCheatingHeart

* YourCheatingHeart: His only real relevance to the story is that he kissed (and seemingly was in love with) Katherine while dating Brigette.

00 * BiTheWay

* BiTheWay / LipstickLesbian: Depending on who the player chooses to pair her with. It's canon that Mia is attracted to girls, and while it's very strongly hinted that she doesn't like guys, this is ultimately up to the player.

* ScrewySquirrel

* BiTheWay
