History Characters / LoveSam

* TheBeard: For Kyle, who actually has an obsessive crush on his best friend, Brian.

* PleaseDontLeaveMe: After Stacy tattletales Kyle's misdeeds to Brian, Kyle does this (upon text message).

* PleaseDontLeaveMe: After Stacy tattletales Kyle's misdeeds to Brian, Kyle does this (upon text).

* MadnessMantra: A part before a mini-game where the player has to stare into the diary, the words repeated on the previous page were filled with: "PLEASE DON'T LOOK AWAY" written on it. This indirectly informs the player to stare into the next page but also implies Kyle not wanting Brian to look away from him (and also hates Brian looking at other people other than him).

-->'''Sam Holt's diary entry - November 2, 2006''': "I know I used half of this diary writing about Stacy being a bitch, but now she' just unstable."

* DeusAngstMachina: Before moving to Rosen Peek, she's already had a lot of horrible experiences in her life. First, her former friends in San Diego turned against her. Second, she realizes her father is a child molester and because of this, it's implied she's bullied online (i.e. While reading Kyle's diary about planning to sabotage Sam; outside the diary at the top right corner shows online posts about people's reaction after knowing Sam's father molested a teenager and all of them were negative). When Sam moves to Rosen Peek, she already receives bullying from Stacy on the first day of school. She thought all of the bad things would subside after befriending Brian but NO — it just gets worst. Befriending Brian basically led to Kyle's jealousy-filled rampage towards her and he started to plan to separate them by attempting to embarrass Sam at Stacy's late post-victory party by spiking her drink and humiliate her in her drunken state (which fortunately failed). When Kyle had enough, he decided to frame his stalkings to Sam, and that plan succeeded which made Brian disgusted of her and stopped contacting him (without Brian knowing the truth). That was her last contact ever with Brian and in the end, she was confronted by angry and heartbroken Kyle that pushed her on a hill while she was left alone dying slowly on a rainy night.

* AlphaBitch: She is the so-called "Queen of Waywright Academy". Even Sam notes that she looks like she came out from a cheesy teen drama.
* CruelCheerleader: Stacy is a popular cheerleader in her school and eventually starts picking on Sam (even if it's just her first day of school).

* BigManOnCampus:
* LovableJock: Sam expects to hate Brian for being a jock, but she eventually warms up to him for being a NiceGuy.
* MissingMom: Brian's mother passed away a year before Sam transferred to Waywright Academy.

* AlphaBitch: She is the so-called "Queen of Waywright Academy"

* DeathGlare: Before actually talking to Sam at Colton Hill which ultimately ended up in her death, their other interactions involve Kyle just giving her [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin 'that']] stare whenever she passes by.

* MissingMom: Brian's mother passed away a year before Sam transfered to Waywright Academy.

* ArmoredClosetGay: Kyle seems like a meatheaded stereotypical jock, but he's actually a psychological mess who hates himself for being gay. For extra metaphorical points, his final return to the apartment before the ending has him literally come out of a closet.

* DepravedHomosexual: Kyle is a gay Yandere.
* DriventoSuicide: Out of guilt and despair, Kyle tries this. But whether he goes through with it or not is up to the player.
* Frameup: Kyle frames his obsessive stalkings on Sam.
* Green-EyedMonster: Kyle is driven to stalking and murder over the jealousy of Sam and Brian's relationship.
* JerkJock: While Brian is a Lovable Jock, Kyle is definitely a Jerkass. Especially when it turns out he's a murderous stalker.

* Never My Fault: Kyle insists that what happened is Sam's fault for getting in the way, not his. Kyle's final choice is whether or not he wants to maintain this mentality by choosing whether or not he gets to keep the diary in which he ostensibly paints himself as the real victim of the story. The better ending arguably happens by him refusing to do so, burning the diary and finally coming clean to the police.
* RemovingtheRival: Kyle tries removing Brian's girlfriend, Sam. First, he breaks them up through social manipulations. Then, after Brian finds out and "dumps" him, Kyle snaps and kills her. It's ambiguous whether or not it was on purpose.
* SecretDiary: The whole focus. There's actually two, one written by Sam pre-breakup, another written by Sam post-breakup. The latter is actually Kyle.
* Small Role, Big Impact: It seems at first like Kyle is a background character. That's exactly what he wants you to think.
* VillainProtagonist: Kyle is such a central character that he's also the Big Bad.
* Woobie,DestroyerofWorlds: The stalker is a monster, but a very sympathetic villain since you get to see their tragic decay of sanity through their journal. They become even more sympathetic once it turns out they're a self-loathing Armored Closet Gay.
* Yandere: The journal is written from the perspective of a Stalker with a Crush on Brian. It's set up to be Sam's, but it's actually Kyle's.

* StepfordSmiler: Brian confesses to Sam that he's been trying look "okay" for others despite the pressure from school and his overbearing father he's been dealing with.
