* ActionSurvivor: In season 1, she's not ''quite'' an ActionGirl, but she can survive against standard [[{{Mook}} mooks]] when the situation calls for it. This changes in season 2 wherein she's able to hold her own against Agent 33, who has much more combat experience than Skye does.
* {{Adorkable}}: Shows ''delight'' in talking to Mike about his powers, and is confirmed to have cosplayed in front of [[Film/IronMan Stark Tower]]. In the episode [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E4EyeSpy "Eye Spy"]], Ward alleges that she [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud says "bang" when firing a gun]].
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Chloe Bennet is half-white and half-Chinese. As Skye is an orphan, her ethnic background was unclear. "Seeds" implied that her heritage is at least partially Chinese, like Chloe herself, as baby Skye was found in Hunan Province in China. Season 2 later on confirmed that her father is white and her mother is Chinese.
* AmbiguouslyHuman:
** Since she's been revealed to be a 0-8-4, she could conceivably be anything. She might not even be ''human.''
--->'''Skye:''' ''[jokingly]'' Like, what, you think I'm an alien?\\
'''Coulson:''' Well...\\
'''Skye:''' Hold on, are you saying that I'm an alien!?\\
'''Coulson:''' It's a theory.\\

'''Coulson:''' I was trying not to rattle you.\\
'''Skye:''' Guess what? ''Epic'' fail!
** She's an Inhuman, which means that she's entirely human until exposure to Terrigen Mists... which happened in episode 2:10.
* AscendedFanboy: She's always {{Squee}}ing over superheroes, and then becomes a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. Then she gets her own superpowers. Then she becomes ''the leader of a superhero team''.
* TheAtoner: After being outed as TheMole for the Rising Tide, she works at regaining the team's trust. "FZZT" shows her listing them off: memorizing S.H.I.E.L.D. protocols, "yes sir, no sir" and wearing the bracelet.
* AudienceSurrogate: She's a superhero fan and the only main character who starts out as a civilian.
* BadVibrations: Whenever her Quake powers start to activate uncontrollably.
%%* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Beauty to Simmons's Brains and May's Brawn.
* BeautyInversion: Averted. In the pilot, she's homeless (living in her van), yet she's perfectly clean, her hair and makeup is immaculate, and there's not so much as a wrinkle in her clothes. This is possibly justified by the fact she had a boyfriend who ''did'' have a place to stay at the time.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished:
** Look at her picture: does she ''look'' homeless?
** Later {{Averted}} in "T.R.A.C.K.S." where she bleeds profusely after being shot in the stomach by Quinn. Subsequently Averted ''even harder'' in "T.A.H.I.T.I." as a direct result - she's unconscious, slowly dying in a hospital bed, with grayish skin and tubes sticking out of her, and generally does look like someone fighting for their life without much consideration for the aesthetics of the thing.
** Discussed after her transformation into an Inhuman. Raina is quite upset that Skye's appearance remains exactly the same, while she got stuck with a hideous and painful new body.
** Also {{Averted}} when her mother tries to kill her with her life draining power.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She tried to get Mike to embrace his powers. He did. Just not in the way she expected. A season and a half later, she gets powers herself - and they freak her out. In "Girl in the Flower Dress", Coulson warns her that the truth about her parents may be worse than not knowing.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Definitely hinted at with Ward in their interrogation scene.
* BerserkButton: Go ahead, try to kill Director Coulson. She'll threaten to kill you without a second's hesitation. Even if you ''are'' her father.
* BodyHorror: Her first attempts to control her Quake powers simply redirect them onto her own body, resulting in ''dozens'' of hairline fractures in her arms.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:In "The Team", Hive infects her, turning her into his mole within S.H.I.E.L.D.]]
* BrokenPedestal: When Ward is revealed as a HYDRA mole, Skye loses her LoveInterest and her S.H.I.E.L.D. mentor in one go, something that clearly hits her very hard.
%%* BuffySpeak: One of the most prone to this in the main cast. Apparently she gets it from her dad....
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: Though [[NamesTheSame sharing her name]] with a minor ComicBook/WarMachine [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Skye_(Earth-616) character]], Skye was not introduced as having a counterpart in the comics. "What They Become" reveals she's a subversion; she's the MCU version of Daisy Johnson AKA Quake, daughter of Calvin L. Johnson AKA Calvin Zabo AKA Mr. Hyde.
* CanonForeigner: Subverted, see above.
* ChekhovsSkill: The first episode shows that she encrypts all of her computers with location-based keys. She uses this same encryption on the backup drive of The Bus' files.
* ColdSniper: After making her first kill with a sniper rifle, she's surprised to find her heart rate is perfectly steady.
* CovertPervert: It's implied in the stinger of "Eye Spy" that she used the x-ray glasses to see Ward naked.
* TheCracker: She isn't malicious, but she ''was'' deliberately causing trouble for an international security agency. Quinn even calls her a "black hat," which is the term for this in the hacker community.
* DarkAndTroubledPast:
** Enough to make her erase her identity at least once. As the episode "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E5GirlInTheFlowerDress Girl in the Flower Dress]]" reveals, so did S.H.I.E.L.D. at one point; the one document Skye was able to dig up from her past was a S.H.I.E.L.D.-redacted paper concerning her. It turns out that she was dropped off at the orphanage by a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. "Seeds" reveals that she's an 0-8-4. Some unidentified party (possibly her father and/or HYDRA) killed everyone connected to her in an attempt to get to her, including her family, her entire hometown, and her S.H.I.E.L.D. protection detail. The last surviving members unpersonned her and arranged for her to get randomly shuffled to a new foster home every few months in an apparently successful attempt to hide her.
** Clarified partway through Season Two. Her hometown was raided by a HYDRA team claiming to be S.H.I.E.L.D. and all the residents, including her mother, were taken and used for Whitehall's experimentation. The aftermath left the village dead and her father a madman bent on avenging his wife and recovering his daughter. Then clarified further in the season finale. The village actually survived HYDRA. Jaiyang's healing factor works by draining life force, and she forced Cal to feed the village to her to bring her back. Not only that, but she CameBackWrong and a FantasticRacist to boot. Cal's descent into darkness was driven by hers; he became a monster in order to be allowed to remain in her life.
* DeadpanSnarker:
** She's prone to quite a few one-liners when the situation calls for it.
** She's said "Hail HYDRA" sarcastically twice so far, and she tries to disguise the sarcasm the second time around, thinking it was Whitehall who was calling Bakshi's number (ItMakesSenseInContext).
* {{Deuteragonist}}: The second person driving most of the show's plot, after Coulson.
* EasilyForgiven: Played with. After the blow up in "Girl in the Flower Dress", Simmons was sympathetic to her from the beginning, Fitz has forgiven her by the start of the next episode, Coulson is midway (having imposed her RestrainingBolt punishment yet keeping her on board), Ward has not, and May (who didn't trust her in the first place) hasn't changed.
* EmbarrassingLastName: She chose the name Skye because she hated the name given to her by the orphanage, which is Mary Sue Poots. "Poot" is a slang word for farting.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: She becomes the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Daisy Johnson AKA Quake, so she gets genuine superpowers in the form of vibration.
* EveryoneHasStandards: After joining S.H.I.E.L.D. as TheMole, she explicitly forbids the Rising Tide from hacking the organization, as seen in "Girl in the Flower Dress", and she breaks up with for doing just that. When she does hack S.H.I.E.L.D. in "The Hub", it's for a selfless reason, and she's upset to find out that there isn't an extraction plan for Ward and Fitz (what she doesn't know is that she and the rest of Coulson's team are being trusted to pick up Ward and Fitz themselves once the two have completed their mission).
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Between Seasons 2 and 3, her shoulder-length waves are cut short, right in time with her accepting her identity as an Inhuman (and re-taking her birth name)
* TheFace: Coulson says she has the potential to become this for his S.H.I.E.L.D. team; talking to people, building rapport, acquiring information without being scary, etc. As of season 3, she's the one making first contact with new inhumans like Joey.
* FosterKid:
** Part of the reason she seeks to fit in with the S.H.I.E.L.D. team; she wants a real family.
** Several of the families she stayed with wanted to keep her permanently but were under orders to keep her moving for her protection. Skye just thought ''none'' of them wanted her.
* {{Foil}}: To Ward. In the beginning, Skye was the one shown to have ulterior motives for joining S.H.I.E.L.D., but when her plans go awry, she undergoes some much needed CharacterDevelopment and sticks with S.H.I.E.L.D. until the bitter end. Meanwhile Ward is a true blue Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., but not really, since he's been playing the whole team right from episode 1. When his true colors are shown, he doesn't change allegiances like Skye, but sticks with HYDRA, until the end.
* {{Gainaxing}}: A rather memorable example as she runs around in a soaking wet low-cut dress in "The Asset".
* GenkiGirl: Whenever she meets a superhuman, she's all {{squee}}s.
* GroinAttack: She uses one against a random guy in the pilot and pretends Mike made her do it, causing the guy's friends to attack Mike. This allows her to escape.
* GuileHero: First demonstrates this in "The Asset" when she infiltrates Ian Quinn's party, then takes it UpToEleven in "The Magical Place" where she finds a way around the RestrainingBolt (and even uses the RestrainingBolt itself to her advantage at one point) and locates the place Coulson is being held without S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources.
* GunFu: Displays a ''Film/JohnWick''-esque version of this during the shootout scene in "The Dirty Half Dozen" in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hReYNlIoIWE this clip]] where she single-handedly takes down ''nine'' HYDRA agents with no help from her superpowers.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Her mother was an [[ComicBook/TheInhumans Inhuman]]. Her father is human... [[AmbiguouslyHuman more or less]].
* HandHidingSleeves: She wears these when relaxing on [[CoolPlane The Bus]]. It's a combination of "quirky" and "cute", with a touch of "deceptive".
* IHaveManyNames: Skye, Mary Sue Poots, Daisy Johnson, Tremors...
* TheHerald: Based on her conversation with Mike, she saw herself as the one delivering the [[CallToAdventure call to adventure]] and inspiring him to fully embrace superheroing.
* HeroicRROD: The first method she tries to gain control of her Quake powers ends up with her using them on herself until she breaks her own arm.
* HumanoidAbomination: She's an 0-8-4 but as revealed in "Ragtag", there was more to the legend. Story goes that the village was attacked by monsters, and the monsters were the 0-8-4 (Skye)'s parents. Eventually it is revealed that she is an Inhuman, and so far all intents and purposes an ordinary human unless exposed to Terrigen Mists... which happens in ''What They Become''.
* IllGirl: After getting shot by Quinn in "T.R.A.C.K.S". She remains one throughout "T.A.H.I.T.I." (the team finding a cure for her provides the main plot of that episode) and is still bed-bound but slowly recovering in "Yes Men".
* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: A heroic example. In "The Magical Place", she poses as Agent May to get a lead from a businessman as to where Coulson was being held.
* InTheHood: Does this in the 2nd season in her transition to ActionGirl. She wears a gray hoodie.
* ItGetsEasier: Part of her character development. In the first season as she trains under May the point is made that she never has had to kill anyone and when she is forced to snipe an inhuman, leading to his assumed death, her reaction to this is shown. By season 2, she's shooting disabled opponents in battle without flinching.
* JackOfAllTrades: Her unrivalled hacking abilities make her an excellent asset to S.H.I.E.L.D., and she's also shown to be quite the GuileHero. With combat training from her superiors, she becomes combat-capable enough to the point that she's able to hold her own in the field.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: She's a skilled hacker who turns into a giggling fangirl in the presence of metahumans.
* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: She's quite the looker, and her dad is Mr. Hyde, so there's that. There's also the fact that they don't get along, so the betrayal part comes prepackaged.
* MarriedToTheJob: Says so in "Heavy Is The Head".
-->'''Skye''': S.H.I.E.L.D. is my life.
* MasterApprenticeChain: Like Gordon before her and her own mother before Gordon, she has taken up the role of aiding new Inhumans through Transition.
* MeaningfulName:
** Her legal name is revealed to be MarySue, a FandomNod to the viewers who felt she received an unreasonable amount of CharacterShilling during the series.
** Her birth name, [[FloralThemeNaming Daisy, is fitting for someone with earthquake producing powers.]]
* MinoredInAsskicking: Mostly a GuileHero and hacker, but she's gotten some combat training from Ward and is particularly good at disarming enemies. Moving through season 2 and into season 3, this has become a major as she gains more skills and her Quake ability.
* MistakenAge: Due to being an orphan, she had her birth year wrong, and is actually a year or two older than she thought. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who dropped her off might have done this intentionally in order to hide her, or they just genuinely made a mistake.
* TheMole: For the Rising Tide. It seems to be an open secret, at least between Ward, Coulson, and the higher brass. After being outed in "Girl in the Flower Dress" and forced to wear a WalkingTechbane bracelet for several episodes, there's been no indication she's still reporting to Rising Tide, at least until Season 2, when it's hinted that Rising Tide may be an ally of sorts to Nu S.H.I.E.L.D. in at least a couple of episodes.
* MoralityPet: For Ward, who claims his attachment to her is genuine. He exploits this as it allows him to beat the lie detector.
* MsFanservice: Provides the female eye candy in the main cast. Ward comments on her beauty under truth serum. She exploits this to make Ward squirm while she interrogates him. Towards the end of "The Asset", she's seen running around in a wet dress, and bare feet. She has an underwear scene in "Girl in the Flower Dress". Tapers off a bit after these instances, but comes back in Season 3, where she's taken to wearing a SpyCatsuit in the field and her first scene out of it is in a low-cut tank top.
* MythologyGag: Skye spends a lot of time wearing wrist-mounted devices, starting with the RestrainingBolt, then the heartbeat monitoring watch during her field training, then the various power suppressing gloves and such she gets to control her powers, and the nullifying cuffs she gets shackled with by Jaiyang. While at first subtle, it becomes pretty clear in hindsight these are a nod to her identity as Daisy Johnson, a character known for her arm gauntlets in the comics.
* NewMeat:
** Not only is she the most junior member of the team, as of "End of the Beginning" she is ''the'' single most junior member of S.H.I.E.L.D. Due to what happens in the following episode, she ends up keeping that distinction until Hunter decides to stop just being a mercenary on contract and fully joins up in the stinger for "One Door Closes", nearly a season later. When working in her primary strengths (hacking and data analysis), she doesn't make rookie mistakes, but she does tend to make them when working in the field which is an area she freely admits she needs more training in, especially after one of those rookie mistakes gets her shot.
** When she discovers that she is a Inhuman this trope happens a second time as she is the newest member of that group and says that she feels like "the new kid".
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: During the season 2 finale, when she knocks a Quinjet carrying a case of Terragen crystals off of a carrier, said crystals contaminates schools of fish, which end up being processed as fish oil caplets for human consumption.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Initially, Skye accepted to join S.H.I.E.L.D. to keep on the search for her parents. She fully commited to S.H.I.E.L.D. as time advanced.
* TheNotLoveInterest: To Coulson. As the naive newcomer she fulfills the stereotypical role of the LoveInterest for TheHero, but their relationship is firmly established as [[ParentalSubstitute substitute father-daughter]] within the first couple of episodes.
* NumberTwo: After breaking off his friendship with May, Coulson turns to Skye, who is the only member of his team that he truly picked himself and who looks up to him as a surrogate father, as his confidant. Starting in season 2, she shows frustration that he doesn't confide in her anymore.
* OldShame: [[InUniverse In-universe]] example. Skye was once one of the "sweaty cosplay girls" that hang around Stark Tower.
* OneWomanArmy: "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS2E19TheDirtyHalfDozen The Dirty Half Dozen]]" cements her status as this, when she singlehandedly kills ''ten'' HYDRA guards in a display of hand-to-hand (and gun) bad-assitude during an [[TheOner epic oner]], all ''without'' using her powers.
** Happens again in season 3.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname:
** At first there was nothing else known about her name other then Skye. S.H.I.E.L.D. unpersonned her as a child to hide her from whoever killed her family, her entire home town, and virtually every single member of the team sent to protect her.
** In "The Only Light in the Darkness" we find out what Skye's real name is... the name she was given in the orphanage, that is. It's Mary Sue Poots.
** "A Hen in the Wolf House" implies that she has a third name, which was given to her by her biological parents. It's revealed in "What They Become" to be Daisy.
* OrphansPlotTrinket: The little data drive she keeps stashed away, containing all the info she could gather on her parents' identities.
* PantyShot: Shows up in the promo for "The Asset", as she jumps out of a window and into a pool. The television broadcast cut to the next scene earlier to avoid it. Her underwear scene in "Girl in the Flower Dress" makes up for it.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Her powers allow her to manipulate the vibrations of all matter. It's speculated that she could grow powerful enough to crack a continent. At present, she's at least powerful enough to flatten a large area around herself and make objects explode, and she has no real training in how to use her powers. While training with the Inhumans, she manages to shake an entire mountain, causing a small avalanche.
* PlayingGertrude: A mild example. Skye's official year of birth is 1989 and is later revealed to actually be 1988, thusly making her a few years older than the actress who plays her.
* PowerIncontinence: She has quite a hard time controlling her Quake powers, due to her not having any help understanding them like her parents were planning to do.
* RaceLift: Daisy Johnson is white in the comics, while Skye, her MCU counterpart, is half-Chinese.
* RecruitingTheCriminal: She's part of an anti-S.H.I.E.L.D. movement called "The Rising Tide" to reveal their cover-up of the world's superheroes, but is quickly caught by them and hired.
* RestrainingBolt: As of "Girl in the Flower Dress", she has been given a bracelet that will monitor her and restrict her use of electronics as well as other unnamed properties. Coulson disables it at the end of "The Magical Place".
* RunningGag: Anytime she attempts to imitate Fitz-Simmons's British accents, it's ''terrible'' and even she knows it. Though she's yet to attempt an imitation of Hunter, she does become the object of his scorn when she refers to him as ''{{Trainspotting}}'', suggesting that she can't even ''hear'' the differences between quite disparate British accents. (Which still doesn't explain why her impression of Fitz sounded Australian...)
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: This is her biggest strength. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are bound by the rules and bureaucracy of the system, but Skye isn't an agent and thus often ignores the rules in the name of doing the right thing. This is also the reason that May lets Hand kick Skye off The Bus in "The Magical Place." She knows that Skye will work much better when she doesn't have a bunch of by-the-book S.H.I.E.L.D. agents looking over her shoulder.
* SecurityBlanket: Having lived in her van, she'll crawl into one of the Bus's vehicles when she feels a need for safety or solitude. She seems a little surprised when Coulson first finds her there.
* SheCleansUpNicely: When going undercover in "The Asset". She never looked nicer.
* SixthRanger: She's recruited from the Rising Tide during the pilot while the other members of the team are already S.H.I.E.L.D. agents working for Coulson, and has to be convinced to join them. However, this all happens in the pilot episode, unlike most examples of this trope.
* TheSpook: In the words of Coulson, "We know nothing about her. Do you know how often that happens? It never happens."
* SpyCatsuit: Starts wearing one in Season 3 when she goes on Inhuman extraction missions.
* StealthInsult: "Hail HYDRA." Spoken to Ward after revealing she had called the cops on him using her laptop.
* SuperHeroPackingHeat: Despite possessing vibration powers that could level a building, Daisy uses a gun. The gun is sometimes loaded with I.C.E.R.s, but it is a real gun, and Daisy is willing kill, if she thinks there is a very good reason.
* TeacherStudentRomance: As of midseason 3, all of her love interests have also been her teachers. Miles was her Rising Tide mentor, Grant Ward was her S.H.I.E.L.D supervising officer, and Lincoln helped her through the Inhuman transition.
* TechnoWizard: Managed to hack into S.H.I.E.L.D. databases, as well as gain some information about Centipede before they were able to. Oh, and did we mention she did this from a van that she was living in? The girl's impressive.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Much like [[Film/{{Thor}} Mjolnir]] and the device from [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E2084 the second episode]], Skye is a 0-8-4. As a baby, many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were mysteriously killed trying to protect her, forcing S.H.I.E.L.D. to put her into hiding to protect her.
%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Simmons's girly girl.
* TookALevelInBadass:
** Ward begins her combat training at the start of "The Asset" and she uses it to effortlessly disarm Ian Quinn later on. The episode ends with voluntarily punching out a heavy bag.
** Her storyline in "The Magical Place" is all about this. She steals the car of a Centipede associate and ''crashes it'' with herself inside, just so she can get his roadside assistance to arrange a tow truck to take her to his address. While there, she uses his computer to call his office and pretends to be an LAPD officer, flawlessly coming up with a plausible explanation about why he needs to come home immediately. Once he arrives, she poses as Melinda and effortlessly bluffs him into giving up everything he knows about Centipede's property purchases, even tossing a couple of mooks along the way. This gives S.H.I.E.L.D. Coulson's location. Even [[TheStoic May]] seems impressed.
** By the end of "Nothing Personal", she has taken yet another level of badass during the entire episode. Calmly stalling for time against [[TheMole Ward]] and making him a well-known and wanted fugitive.
** As of the season 2 premiere, "Shadows", she's said to have undergone training from May between seasons and even joins her in the field being more than able to hold her own.
** Training with May is shown to ''really'' pay off when she holds her own against [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Agent 33]] in single combat.
** As of "What They Become", she has taken another level, after her Inhuman powers are activated. At the start of season 3, she's casually flipping cars and enemy mooks.
* TownGirls: The (seemingly plain yet technologically gifted) Neither to May's Butch and Simmons's Femme.
* UnfortunateNames:
** Play straight by the orphanage who named her MarySue [[AtrociousAlias Poots]].
** Averted by her birth name - she considers Daisy Johnson to be a pretty good name, and as of season 3, she's traded Skye for it.
* UngratefulBitch: Raina very subjectively refers Skye as this as a part of her NeverMyFault statement in "Aftershocks".
* {{Unperson}}:
** She can do this on request, and it's implied she did it to herself, hence why she's an unknown to S.H.I.E.L.D. It turns out that this is her reason for learning how to hack in the first place. Her parents themselves have been the subject of this, by S.H.I.E.L.D. no less, as was Skye herself shortly before being put into foster care.
** In "Providence," at Coulson's request, she does this for every member of Team Coulson so that they can more easily go off the radar.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She unknowingly brings a HYDRA agent to Providence by chatting on the phone with Ward, who had, in a bit of DramaticIrony, been with HYDRA all along.
* WeHelpTheHelpless: Coulson's lessons have sunk in pretty well by the second season.
-->'''Skye:''' He could hurt people!\\
'''Jiaying:''' Those people aren't my concern.\\
'''Skye:''' Well, they're mine. I'm a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
* WhatTheHellHero: She doesn't like what she finds out about the mission in "The Hub", and she makes it perfectly clear to Coulson when he catches her hacking S.H.I.E.L.D. to learn the truth.
-->'''Coulson''': What did I tell you?\\
'''Skye''': You told me to trust the system, and the system sent Ward and Fitz in there to die.

!!''Lincoln Campbell'' / ''Sparkplug''
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lincoln_campbell_icon.png]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/LukeMitchell
A young Inhuman with electrical powers who introduces Skye to the Inhuman city of Lai Xi or 'Afterlife'.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Shows ''delight'' in talking to Mike about his powers, and is confirmed to have cosplayed in front of [[Film/IronMan Stark Tower]]. In the episode [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E4EyeSpy "Eye Spy"]], Ward alleges that she [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud says "bang" when firing a gun]].
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Chloe Bennet is half-white and half-Chinese. As Skye is an orphan, her ethnic background was unclear. "Seeds" implied that her heritage is at least partially Chinese, like Chloe herself, as baby Skye was found in Hunan Province in China. Season 2 later on confirmed that her father is white and her mother is Chinese.
* AmbiguouslyHuman:
** Since she's been revealed to be a 0-8-4, she could conceivably be anything. She might not even be ''human.''
--->'''Skye:''' ''[jokingly]'' Like, what, you think I'm an alien?\\
'''Coulson:''' Well...\\
'''Skye:''' Hold on, are you saying that I'm an alien!?\\
'''Coulson:''' It's a theory.\\
'''Skye:''' No, a theory is what scientists use to prove things in nature, this is you telling me that I might be an alien! That's not something you just say like it's no big deal!\\
'''Coulson:''' I was trying not to rattle you.\\
'''Skye:''' Guess what? ''Epic'' fail!
** She's an Inhuman, which means that she's entirely human until exposure to Terrigen Mists... which happened in episode 2:10.
* AscendedFanboy: She's always {{Squee}}ing over superheroes, and then becomes a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. Then she gets her own superpowers. Then she becomes ''the leader of a superhero team''.
* TheAtoner: After being outed as TheMole for the Rising Tide, she works at regaining the team's trust. "FZZT" shows her listing them off: memorizing S.H.I.E.L.D. protocols, "yes sir, no sir" and wearing the bracelet.
* AudienceSurrogate: She's a superhero fan and the only main character who starts out as a civilian.
* BadVibrations: Whenever her Quake powers start to activate uncontrollably.
%%* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Beauty to Simmons's Brains and May's Brawn.
* BeautyInversion: Averted. In the pilot, she's homeless (living in her van), yet she's perfectly clean, her hair and makeup is immaculate, and there's not so much as a wrinkle in her clothes. This is possibly justified by the fact she had a boyfriend who ''did'' have a place to stay at the time.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished:
** Look at her picture: does she ''look'' homeless?
** Later {{Averted}} in "T.R.A.C.K.S." where she bleeds profusely after being shot in the stomach by Quinn. Subsequently Averted ''even harder'' in "T.A.H.I.T.I." as a direct result - she's unconscious, slowly dying in a hospital bed, with grayish skin and tubes sticking out of her, and generally does look like someone fighting for their life without much consideration for the aesthetics of the thing.
** Discussed after her transformation into an Inhuman. Raina is quite upset that Skye's appearance remains exactly the same, while she got stuck with a hideous and painful new body.
** Also {{Averted}} when her mother tries to kill her with her life draining power.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She tried to get Mike to embrace his powers. He did. Just not in the way she expected. A season and a half later, she gets powers herself - and they freak her out. In "Girl in the Flower Dress", Coulson warns her that the truth about her parents may be worse than not knowing.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Definitely hinted at with Ward in their interrogation scene.
* BerserkButton: Go ahead, try to kill Director Coulson. She'll threaten to kill you without a second's hesitation. Even if you ''are'' her father.
* BodyHorror: Her first attempts to control her Quake powers simply redirect them onto her own body, resulting in ''dozens'' of hairline fractures in her arms.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:In "The Team", Hive infects her, turning her into his mole within S.H.I.E.L.D.]]
* BrokenPedestal: When Ward is revealed as a HYDRA mole, Skye loses her LoveInterest and her S.H.I.E.L.D. mentor in one go, something that clearly hits her very hard.
%%* BuffySpeak: One of the most prone to this in the main cast. Apparently she gets it from her dad....
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: Though [[NamesTheSame sharing her name]] with a minor ComicBook/WarMachine [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Skye_(Earth-616) character]], Skye was not introduced as having a counterpart in the comics. "What They Become" reveals she's a subversion; she's the MCU version of Daisy Johnson AKA Quake, daughter of Calvin L. Johnson AKA Calvin Zabo AKA Mr. Hyde.
* CanonForeigner: Subverted, see above.
* ChekhovsSkill: The first episode shows that she encrypts all of her computers with location-based keys. She uses this same encryption on the backup drive of The Bus' files.
* ColdSniper: After making her first kill with a sniper rifle, she's surprised to find her heart rate is perfectly steady.
* CovertPervert: It's implied in the stinger of "Eye Spy" that she used the x-ray glasses to see Ward naked.
* TheCracker: She isn't malicious, but she ''was'' deliberately causing trouble for an international security agency. Quinn even calls her a "black hat," which is the term for this in the hacker community.
* DarkAndTroubledPast:
** Enough to make her erase her identity at least once. As the episode "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E5GirlInTheFlowerDress Girl in the Flower Dress]]" reveals, so did S.H.I.E.L.D. at one point; the one document Skye was able to dig up from her past was a S.H.I.E.L.D.-redacted paper concerning her. It turns out that she was dropped off at the orphanage by a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. "Seeds" reveals that she's an 0-8-4. Some unidentified party (possibly her father and/or HYDRA) killed everyone connected to her in an attempt to get to her, including her family, her entire hometown, and her S.H.I.E.L.D. protection detail. The last surviving members unpersonned her and arranged for her to get randomly shuffled to a new foster home every few months in an apparently successful attempt to hide her.
** Clarified partway through Season Two. Her hometown was raided by a HYDRA team claiming to be S.H.I.E.L.D. and all the residents, including her mother, were taken and used for Whitehall's experimentation. The aftermath left the village dead and her father a madman bent on avenging his wife and recovering his daughter. Then clarified further in the season finale. The village actually survived HYDRA. Jaiyang's healing factor works by draining life force, and she forced Cal to feed the village to her to bring her back. Not only that, but she CameBackWrong and a FantasticRacist to boot. Cal's descent into darkness was driven by hers; he became a monster in order to be allowed to remain in her life.
* DeadpanSnarker:
** She's prone to quite a few one-liners when the situation calls for it.
** She's said "Hail HYDRA" sarcastically twice so far, and she tries to disguise the sarcasm the second time around, thinking it was Whitehall who was calling Bakshi's number (ItMakesSenseInContext).
* {{Deuteragonist}}: The second person driving most of the show's plot, after Coulson.
* EasilyForgiven: Played with. After the blow up in "Girl in the Flower Dress", Simmons was sympathetic to her from the beginning, Fitz has forgiven her by the start of the next episode, Coulson is midway (having imposed her RestrainingBolt punishment yet keeping her on board), Ward has not, and May (who didn't trust her in the first place) hasn't changed.
* EmbarrassingLastName: She chose the name Skye because she hated the name given to her by the orphanage, which is Mary Sue Poots. "Poot" is a slang word for farting.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: She becomes the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Daisy Johnson AKA Quake, so she gets genuine superpowers in the form of vibration.
* EveryoneHasStandards: After joining S.H.I.E.L.D. as TheMole, she explicitly forbids the Rising Tide from hacking the organization, as seen in "Girl in the Flower Dress", and she breaks up with for doing just that. When she does hack S.H.I.E.L.D. in "The Hub", it's for a selfless reason, and she's upset to find out that there isn't an extraction plan for Ward and Fitz (what she doesn't know is that she and the rest of Coulson's team are being trusted to pick up Ward and Fitz themselves once the two have completed their mission).
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Between Seasons 2 and 3, her shoulder-length waves are cut short, right in time with her accepting her identity as an Inhuman (and re-taking her birth name)
* TheFace: Coulson says she has the potential to become this for his S.H.I.E.L.D. team; talking to people, building rapport, acquiring information without being scary, etc. As of season 3, she's the one making first contact with new inhumans like Joey.
* FosterKid:
** Part of the reason she seeks to fit in with the S.H.I.E.L.D. team; she wants a real family.
** Several of the families she stayed with wanted to keep her permanently but were under orders to keep her moving for her protection. Skye just thought ''none'' of them wanted her.
* {{Foil}}: To Ward. In the beginning, Skye was the one shown to have ulterior motives for joining S.H.I.E.L.D., but when her plans go awry, she undergoes some much needed CharacterDevelopment and sticks with S.H.I.E.L.D. until the bitter end. Meanwhile Ward is a true blue Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., but not really, since he's been playing the whole team right from episode 1. When his true colors are shown, he doesn't change allegiances like Skye, but sticks with HYDRA, until the end.
* {{Gainaxing}}: A rather memorable example as she runs around in a soaking wet low-cut dress in "The Asset".
* GenkiGirl: Whenever she meets a superhuman, she's all {{squee}}s.
* GroinAttack: She uses one against a random guy in the pilot and pretends Mike made her do it, causing the guy's friends to attack Mike. This allows her to escape.
* GuileHero: First demonstrates this in "The Asset" when she infiltrates Ian Quinn's party, then takes it UpToEleven in "The Magical Place" where she finds a way around the RestrainingBolt (and even uses the RestrainingBolt itself to her advantage at one point) and locates the place Coulson is being held without S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources.
* GunFu: Displays a ''Film/JohnWick''-esque version of this during the shootout scene in "The Dirty Half Dozen" in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hReYNlIoIWE this clip]] where she single-handedly takes down ''nine'' HYDRA agents with no help from her superpowers.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Her mother was an [[ComicBook/TheInhumans Inhuman]]. Her father is human... [[AmbiguouslyHuman more or less]].
* HandHidingSleeves: She wears these when relaxing on [[CoolPlane The Bus]]. It's a combination of "quirky" and "cute", with a touch of "deceptive".
* IHaveManyNames: Skye, Mary Sue Poots, Daisy Johnson, Tremors...
* TheHerald: Based on her conversation with Mike, she saw herself as the one delivering the [[CallToAdventure call to adventure]] and inspiring him to fully embrace superheroing.
* HeroicRROD: The first method she tries to gain control of her Quake powers ends up with her using them on herself until she breaks her own arm.
* HumanoidAbomination: She's an 0-8-4 but as revealed in "Ragtag", there was more to the legend. Story goes that the village was attacked by monsters, and the monsters were the 0-8-4 (Skye)'s parents. Eventually it is revealed that she is an Inhuman, and so far all intents and purposes an ordinary human unless exposed to Terrigen Mists... which happens in ''What They Become''.
* IllGirl: After getting shot by Quinn in "T.R.A.C.K.S". She remains one throughout "T.A.H.I.T.I." (the team finding a cure for her provides the main plot of that episode) and is still bed-bound but slowly recovering in "Yes Men".
* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: A heroic example. In "The Magical Place", she poses as Agent May to get a lead from a businessman as to where Coulson was being held.
* InTheHood: Does this in the 2nd season in her transition to ActionGirl. She wears a gray hoodie.
* ItGetsEasier: Part of her character development. In the first season as she trains under May the point is made that she never has had to kill anyone and when she is forced to snipe an inhuman, leading to his assumed death, her reaction to this is shown. By season 2, she's shooting disabled opponents in battle without flinching.
* JackOfAllTrades: Her unrivalled hacking abilities make her an excellent asset to S.H.I.E.L.D., and she's also shown to be quite the GuileHero. With combat training from her superiors, she becomes combat-capable enough to the point that she's able to hold her own in the field.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: She's a skilled hacker who turns into a giggling fangirl in the presence of metahumans.
* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: She's quite the looker, and her dad is Mr. Hyde, so there's that. There's also the fact that they don't get along, so the betrayal part comes prepackaged.
* MarriedToTheJob: Says so in "Heavy Is The Head".
-->'''Skye''': S.H.I.E.L.D. is my life.
* MasterApprenticeChain: Like Gordon before her and her own mother before Gordon, she has taken up the role of aiding new Inhumans through Transition.
* MeaningfulName:
** Her legal name is revealed to be MarySue, a FandomNod to the viewers who felt she received an unreasonable amount of CharacterShilling during the series.
** Her birth name, [[FloralThemeNaming Daisy, is fitting for someone with earthquake producing powers.]]
* MinoredInAsskicking: Mostly a GuileHero and hacker, but she's gotten some combat training from Ward and is particularly good at disarming enemies. Moving through season 2 and into season 3, this has become a major as she gains more skills and her Quake ability.
* MistakenAge: Due to being an orphan, she had her birth year wrong, and is actually a year or two older than she thought. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who dropped her off might have done this intentionally in order to hide her, or they just genuinely made a mistake.
* TheMole: For the Rising Tide. It seems to be an open secret, at least between Ward, Coulson, and the higher brass. After being outed in "Girl in the Flower Dress" and forced to wear a WalkingTechbane bracelet for several episodes, there's been no indication she's still reporting to Rising Tide, at least until Season 2, when it's hinted that Rising Tide may be an ally of sorts to Nu S.H.I.E.L.D. in at least a couple of episodes.
* MoralityPet: For Ward, who claims his attachment to her is genuine. He exploits this as it allows him to beat the lie detector.
* MsFanservice: Provides the female eye candy in the main cast. Ward comments on her beauty under truth serum. She exploits this to make Ward squirm while she interrogates him. Towards the end of "The Asset", she's seen running around in a wet dress, and bare feet. She has an underwear scene in "Girl in the Flower Dress". Tapers off a bit after these instances, but comes back in Season 3, where she's taken to wearing a SpyCatsuit in the field and her first scene out of it is in a low-cut tank top.
* MythologyGag: Skye spends a lot of time wearing wrist-mounted devices, starting with the RestrainingBolt, then the heartbeat monitoring watch during her field training, then the various power suppressing gloves and such she gets to control her powers, and the nullifying cuffs she gets shackled with by Jaiyang. While at first subtle, it becomes pretty clear in hindsight these are a nod to her identity as Daisy Johnson, a character known for her arm gauntlets in the comics.
* NewMeat:
** Not only is she the most junior member of the team, as of "End of the Beginning" she is ''the'' single most junior member of S.H.I.E.L.D. Due to what happens in the following episode, she ends up keeping that distinction until Hunter decides to stop just being a mercenary on contract and fully joins up in the stinger for "One Door Closes", nearly a season later. When working in her primary strengths (hacking and data analysis), she doesn't make rookie mistakes, but she does tend to make them when working in the field which is an area she freely admits she needs more training in, especially after one of those rookie mistakes gets her shot.
** When she discovers that she is a Inhuman this trope happens a second time as she is the newest member of that group and says that she feels like "the new kid".
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: During the season 2 finale, when she knocks a Quinjet carrying a case of Terragen crystals off of a carrier, said crystals contaminates schools of fish, which end up being processed as fish oil caplets for human consumption.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Initially, Skye accepted to join S.H.I.E.L.D. to keep on the search for her parents. She fully commited to S.H.I.E.L.D. as time advanced.
* TheNotLoveInterest: To Coulson. As the naive newcomer she fulfills the stereotypical role of the LoveInterest for TheHero, but their relationship is firmly established as [[ParentalSubstitute substitute father-daughter]] within the first couple of episodes.
* NumberTwo: After breaking off his friendship with May, Coulson turns to Skye, who is the only member of his team that he truly picked himself and who looks up to him as a surrogate father, as his confidant. Starting in season 2, she shows frustration that he doesn't confide in her anymore.
* OldShame: [[InUniverse In-universe]] example. Skye was once one of the "sweaty cosplay girls" that hang around Stark Tower.
* OneWomanArmy: "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS2E19TheDirtyHalfDozen The Dirty Half Dozen]]" cements her status as this, when she singlehandedly kills ''ten'' HYDRA guards in a display of hand-to-hand (and gun) bad-assitude during an [[TheOner epic oner]], all ''without'' using her powers.
** Happens again in season 3.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname:
** At first there was nothing else known about her name other then Skye. S.H.I.E.L.D. unpersonned her as a child to hide her from whoever killed her family, her entire home town, and virtually every single member of the team sent to protect her.
** In "The Only Light in the Darkness" we find out what Skye's real name is... the name she was given in the orphanage, that is. It's Mary Sue Poots.
** "A Hen in the Wolf House" implies that she has a third name, which was given to her by her biological parents. It's revealed in "What They Become" to be Daisy.
* OrphansPlotTrinket: The little data drive she keeps stashed away, containing all the info she could gather on her parents' identities.
* PantyShot: Shows up in the promo for "The Asset", as she jumps out of a window and into a pool. The television broadcast cut to the next scene earlier to avoid it. Her underwear scene in "Girl in the Flower Dress" makes up for it.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Her powers allow her to manipulate the vibrations of all matter. It's speculated that she could grow powerful enough to crack a continent. At present, she's at least powerful enough to flatten a large area around herself and make objects explode, and she has no real training in how to use her powers. While training with the Inhumans, she manages to shake an entire mountain, causing a small avalanche.
* PlayingGertrude: A mild example. Skye's official year of birth is 1989 and is later revealed to actually be 1988, thusly making her a few years older than the actress who plays her.
* PowerIncontinence: She has quite a hard time controlling her Quake powers, due to her not having any help understanding them like her parents were planning to do.
* RaceLift: Daisy Johnson is white in the comics, while Skye, her MCU counterpart, is half-Chinese.
* RecruitingTheCriminal: She's part of an anti-S.H.I.E.L.D. movement called "The Rising Tide" to reveal their cover-up of the world's superheroes, but is quickly caught by them and hired.
* RestrainingBolt: As of "Girl in the Flower Dress", she has been given a bracelet that will monitor her and restrict her use of electronics as well as other unnamed properties. Coulson disables it at the end of "The Magical Place".
* RunningGag: Anytime she attempts to imitate Fitz-Simmons's British accents, it's ''terrible'' and even she knows it. Though she's yet to attempt an imitation of Hunter, she does become the object of his scorn when she refers to him as ''{{Trainspotting}}'', suggesting that she can't even ''hear'' the differences between quite disparate British accents. (Which still doesn't explain why her impression of Fitz sounded Australian...)
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: This is her biggest strength. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are bound by the rules and bureaucracy of the system, but Skye isn't an agent and thus often ignores the rules in the name of doing the right thing. This is also the reason that May lets Hand kick Skye off The Bus in "The Magical Place." She knows that Skye will work much better when she doesn't have a bunch of by-the-book S.H.I.E.L.D. agents looking over her shoulder.
* SecurityBlanket: Having lived in her van, she'll crawl into one of the Bus's vehicles when she feels a need for safety or solitude. She seems a little surprised when Coulson first finds her there.
* SheCleansUpNicely: When going undercover in "The Asset". She never looked nicer.
* SixthRanger: She's recruited from the Rising Tide during the pilot while the other members of the team are already S.H.I.E.L.D. agents working for Coulson, and has to be convinced to join them. However, this all happens in the pilot episode, unlike most examples of this trope.
* TheSpook: In the words of Coulson, "We know nothing about her. Do you know how often that happens? It never happens."
* SpyCatsuit: Starts wearing one in Season 3 when she goes on Inhuman extraction missions.
* StealthInsult: "Hail HYDRA." Spoken to Ward after revealing she had called the cops on him using her laptop.
* SuperHeroPackingHeat: Despite possessing vibration powers that could level a building, Daisy uses a gun. The gun is sometimes loaded with I.C.E.R.s, but it is a real gun, and Daisy is willing kill, if she thinks there is a very good reason.
* TeacherStudentRomance: As of midseason 3, all of her love interests have also been her teachers. Miles was her Rising Tide mentor, Grant Ward was her S.H.I.E.L.D supervising officer, and Lincoln helped her through the Inhuman transition.
* TechnoWizard: Managed to hack into S.H.I.E.L.D. databases, as well as gain some information about Centipede before they were able to. Oh, and did we mention she did this from a van that she was living in? The girl's impressive.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Much like [[Film/{{Thor}} Mjolnir]] and the device from [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E2084 the second episode]], Skye is a 0-8-4. As a baby, many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were mysteriously killed trying to protect her, forcing S.H.I.E.L.D. to put her into hiding to protect her.
%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Simmons's girly girl.
* TookALevelInBadass:
** Ward begins her combat training at the start of "The Asset" and she uses it to effortlessly disarm Ian Quinn later on. The episode ends with voluntarily punching out a heavy bag.
** Her storyline in "The Magical Place" is all about this. She steals the car of a Centipede associate and ''crashes it'' with herself inside, just so she can get his roadside assistance to arrange a tow truck to take her to his address. While there, she uses his computer to call his office and pretends to be an LAPD officer, flawlessly coming up with a plausible explanation about why he needs to come home immediately. Once he arrives, she poses as Melinda and effortlessly bluffs him into giving up everything he knows about Centipede's property purchases, even tossing a couple of mooks along the way. This gives S.H.I.E.L.D. Coulson's location. Even [[TheStoic May]] seems impressed.
** By the end of "Nothing Personal", she has taken yet another level of badass during the entire episode. Calmly stalling for time against [[TheMole Ward]] and making him a well-known and wanted fugitive.
** As of the season 2 premiere, "Shadows", she's said to have undergone training from May between seasons and even joins her in the field being more than able to hold her own.
** Training with May is shown to ''really'' pay off when she holds her own against [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Agent 33]] in single combat.
** As of "What They Become", she has taken another level, after her Inhuman powers are activated. At the start of season 3, she's casually flipping cars and enemy mooks.
* TownGirls: The (seemingly plain yet technologically gifted) Neither to May's Butch and Simmons's Femme.
* UnfortunateNames:
** Play straight by the orphanage who named her MarySue [[AtrociousAlias Poots]].
** Averted by her birth name - she considers Daisy Johnson to be a pretty good name, and as of season 3, she's traded Skye for it.
* UngratefulBitch: Raina very subjectively refers Skye as this as a part of her NeverMyFault statement in "Aftershocks".
* {{Unperson}}:
** She can do this on request, and it's implied she did it to herself, hence why she's an unknown to S.H.I.E.L.D. It turns out that this is her reason for learning how to hack in the first place. Her parents themselves have been the subject of this, by S.H.I.E.L.D. no less, as was Skye herself shortly before being put into foster care.
** In "Providence," at Coulson's request, she does this for every member of Team Coulson so that they can more easily go off the radar.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She unknowingly brings a HYDRA agent to Providence by chatting on the phone with Ward, who had, in a bit of DramaticIrony, been with HYDRA all along.
* WeHelpTheHelpless: Coulson's lessons have sunk in pretty well by the second season.
-->'''Skye:''' He could hurt people!\\
'''Jiaying:''' Those people aren't my concern.\\
'''Skye:''' Well, they're mine. I'm a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
* WhatTheHellHero: She doesn't like what she finds out about the mission in "The Hub", and she makes it perfectly clear to Coulson when he catches her hacking S.H.I.E.L.D. to learn the truth.
-->'''Coulson''': What did I tell you?\\
'''Skye''': You told me to trust the system, and the system sent Ward and Fitz in there to die.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/LukeMitchell
A young Inhuman with electrical powers who introduces Skye to the Inhuman city of Lai Xi or 'Afterlife'.
----
* TheAlcoholic: Heavily implied to have a problem with alcoholism and recreational drug use.
* BadLiar: Lets information slip and then poorly tries to correct himself, leading to Skye confronting Raina.
* CodeName: Is given the name "[[https://www.facebook.com/AgentsofShield/videos/951209151610600/ Sparkplug]]" by SHIELD.
* CynicismCatalyst: The events of Season 2 Finale left him far more cynical, now believing their gifts to be a curse.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Season 3 hints that not all was sunshine and roses in Lincoln's early life even ''before'' his discovery of his Inhuman powers. While he's on the run from the ATCU, his family is not mentioned - either because he's not close with them or perhaps because they're dead. He has one friend that seems to be of an age where he might have been a CoolUncle figure or ParentalSubstitute. Said friend questions whether Lincoln had been drinking, which points to a possible problem with alcohol (he's already implied to ''perhaps'' be into recreational drugs of some sort), and there's explicit mention of at least one suicide attempt. Another subtle clue to difficult childhood[=/=]teen years is that Lincoln seems, while obviously afraid of his situation, comfortable being on the run, which may indicate that it's not entirely new to him.
* EasilyForgiven: Despite his role in Jiayang's assault on ''The Illiad'' he was allowed back into civilian life, much to Mack's chagrin. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, it ends up coming back to bite him in the ass anyway when Lash appears...]]
* ExplosiveLeash: [[spoiler:In "Singularity," Coulson gives him an explosive vest that May can trigger if Hive infects him. Both Lincoln and May point out that this is a ''really'' screwed up way of asking for his help, especially considering that Coulson is doing everything he can to save Daisy. In the end, Coulson agrees he was wrong, and grounds Lincoln entirely]].
* {{Expy}}: Seems to be one for J.T. James (codename Hellfire) of the comic book version of the Secret Warriors ([[DecompositeCharacter something he shares with Ward]]), being Daisy Johnson's love interest who has issues with her father figure, not actually loyal to the team and only there because of his relationship with Daisy.
* FatalFlaw: His anger is by far his biggest problem, which when combined with his dangerous powers, causes others to question whether he's a suitable asset. When push comes to shove, however, he does manage to keep himself under control.
* GoodCounterpart: To Ward, as a mentor figure to Skye[=/=]Daisy that eventually evolves into a LoveInterest. In contrast to Ward, who was a sociopath that had most people believing that he was a charming, decent guy... Lincoln is really a NiceGuy under the tough exterior and wants to help people - but by citizens (and even parts of S.H.I.E.L.D.) he's misunderstood and characterized as an evil or at least dangerous threat.
* HiddenDepths: He's initially introduced as a calm and zen-like Inhuman who specializes in helping other Inhumans transition through the effects of Terrigensis. Once he's removed from the paradisaical Afterlife, however, we find out that he's quick to anger and not good with unexpected situations. Daisy keeps him grounded, but this causes problems when he has to go on missions without her.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: After Season 2, he wants nothing to do with either SHIELD or his fellow Inhumans, and wants to live a normal life as a doctor.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:His role in Jiaying's assault in the Season 2 finale may have had something to do with Lash targeting him. How did Lash find him? Jiaying's ledger.]]
* MagicalDefibrillator: Subverted and later played straight; He tries to use his shock and awe powers to restart a friend's heart [[spoiler: after disarming him and scaring into a heart attack]] but it doesn't work. He later uses his powers to help reboot Werner's brain after the latter is in a semi-comatose state.
* TheMedic: He's a transitioner for the Inhumans, and his introduction shows him using acupuncture to help Skye's body fully adjust to her new powers. Later, he tells her that he's working on a medical degree. In season 3, he's seen working at a hospital, until he's forced to go on the run. He even helps to "jump-start" Werner's brain with his powers when the latter is in a semi-comatose state.
* MrExposition: Has the task of informing Skye where she is and what they do at Lai Xi.
* NiceGuy: He's nothing but sweet and courteous to Skye, and doesn't exhibit any of the BitchInSheepsClothing of his fellow Inhumans.
* PowerFloats: Can channel his electricity into other people to make them float. He can do it gently by hand contact or throw you into the ceiling with a short range bolt of energy.
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: In season 3.
* ShockAndAwe: Every cell in his body has a charge, which he can control at will. He can use this to heat objects or deliver shocks, and mentions that he nearly burned down Lai Xi before gaining control. He can also transfer the energy to others through physical contact, which he demonstrates on Skye by making her levitate.
* TheStoner: He shows Skye a good spot to go to "smoke something."
* TokenGoodTeammate: Among those in Jiayang's war party, he's the only one not okay with her ruthless campaign. Eventually he pulls a complete HeelFaceTurn in the finale.
* TraumaCongaLine: All of "A Wanted In(human)" was this for him.[[spoiler: The ATCU outed him to the public, his OnlyFriend sold him out, and when he disarmed him it scared him into a heart attack. Then, after agreeing to come in to work with Daisy, Coulson sells him out to keep Daisy a secret.]] As Daisy put it:

->''"I'm '''literally''' a catastrophic meltdown."''
The first Inhuman that SHIELD was able to reach first and extract, in the wake of Terrigen being released into the ecosystem. He has the ability to shape metal.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Once he's grown accustomed to his powers, he's thrilled by the prospect of using them in construction, and later geeks out over [[spoiler:being bulletproof]].
* BadassGay: He's slowly but surely evolving into this, even if his powers make him more adept at in support role than a straight up combatant like the other Secret Warriors. As of "The Team" he's officially gone on missions as a Secret Warrior, has skydived into a HYDRA base, effortlessly melted bullets fired at him and Elena, and [[spoiler:killed Lucio with a pipe]], though that last one shook him up a bit.
* BuryYourGays: So far averted, but trolled a few times. The writers are aware of this trope, having played it straight previously with Victoria Hand, and twice have made it ''look'' like he's been killed, first by Lash then by Giyera, only for it to be revealed as a fake-out (firstly by revealing to be Lash's imagination, then secondly by the bullets turning to liquid prior).
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: A gay character who has special powers that people who are scared or repulsed by his type of people are trying to cure, while people who share his identity (namely Daisy) try to reassure him that his abilities are not a disease or something to be afraid of, and that he needs to come to terms with it. Get the subtext?
* {{Expy}}: Seems to be one for Sebastian Druid of the comic book version of the Secret Warriors, being an Adorkable AudienceSurrogate who's introduced with no control of his powers but comes back some time later having gained competence and confidence. He even somewhat looks like Druid.
* ExtraOreDinary: His powers include being able to control the physical state of metal. Joey eventually learns how to reshape metal into something new as well.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He has no idea how to control his powers, and he's dismayed that there's no way to reverse his powers. However, by his second appearance he has come more to terms with it and apparently doesn't want a cure anymore.
* ImmuneToBullets: To his delight; [[spoiler:he discovers this by jumping in front of three bullets fired at Daisy only for them to melt before striking him]].
* MundaneUtility: Discussed. After he gains some control over them, he notes that his powers could be very useful in construction.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He can affect certain metals up to three meters (nine feet) away, enabling a ''lot'' of damage potential by collateral.
* PowerIncontinence: He managed to wreck a good few blocks before SHIELD got to him by accident. They're working on helping him to control it, and as of "Chaos Theory" he's made considerable progress.
* StraightGay: The first definite LGBT character in the entire MCU, and currently the only gay superhero. It's revealed in a "by the way" manner, with Bobbi mentioning his ex-boyfriend as one of the things SHIELD knows about him (via Facebook), and later he wryly notes that he's already lived with one secret that made him miserable until he revealed the truth.
* TakingTheBullet: Subverted. He shields gunfire from Giyera meant for Daisy, but he subconsciously uses his power to liquefy the bullets before contact, rendering them mostly harmless.
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: [[spoiler:He stabs Lucio with a pipe in "The Team," killing him, and spends the rest of the episode in a funk heavily influenced by this.]]
* TwoferTokenMinority: Latino and gay -- and a threefer, If you count the whole Inhuman part.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Really afraid and confused when his powers awaken and he accidentally trashes a couple city blocks.

----
* AdaptationalNationality: Is Puerto Rican in the comics, but Colombian here.
* AgeLift: Is in her late twenties here, while her comic self was only 15 when she was a member of the team; given Daisy's own AgeLift and the moral implications of SHIELD working with a young teen, the lift makes sense.
* JumpedAtTheCall: The first thing she does when she gets her powers is to steal an arms shipment and destroy it so the weapons won't be in the hands of the corrupt cops who run her country.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: In the comics, Yo-Yo's real first name was never revealed.
* RealMenLoveJesus: She sincerely believes that her powers are a gift from God.
* SpicyLatina: A Colombian woman who wears her heart on her sleeve and can be considered quite feisty.
* StoryBreakerPower: Her speed leads the team to utterly curb stomp their way through a corrupt police station, and is likely the reason that she decides not to join the Secret Warriors full-time.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Once she's warmed up to you, she's friendly, funny and good-natured. However she has not had the easiest life and will shut down just as quickly if she has reason to mistrust you.

Later, he tells her that he's working on a medical degree. In season 3, he's seen working at a hospital, until he's forced to go on the run. He even helps to "jump-start" Werner's brain with his powers when the latter is in a semi-comatose state.
* MrExposition: Has the task of informing Skye where she is and what they do at Lai Xi.
* NiceGuy: He's nothing but sweet and courteous to Skye, and doesn't exhibit any of the BitchInSheepsClothing of his fellow Inhumans.
* PowerFloats: Can channel his electricity into other people to make them float. He can do it gently by hand contact or throw you into the ceiling with a short range bolt of energy.
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: In season 3.
* ShockAndAwe: Every cell in his body has a charge, which he can control at will. He can use this to heat objects or deliver shocks, and mentions that he nearly burned down Lai Xi before gaining control. He can also transfer the energy to others through physical contact, which he demonstrates on Skye by making her levitate.
* TheStoner: He shows Skye a good spot to go to "smoke something."
* TokenGoodTeammate: Among those in Jiayang's war party, he's the only one not okay with her ruthless campaign. Eventually he pulls a complete HeelFaceTurn in the finale.
* TraumaCongaLine: All of "A Wanted In(human)" was this for him.[[spoiler: The ATCU outed him to the public, his OnlyFriend sold him out, and when he disarmed him it scared him into a heart attack. Then, after agreeing to come in to work with Daisy, Coulson sells him out to keep Daisy a secret.]] As Daisy put it:
--> '''Daisy:''' [[spoiler:You've been having a Hell of a day.]]
* TheUnmasking: [[spoiler:He's exposed after Lash attacks his hospital and made public by the end.]]

!!José "Joey" Gutierrez
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joey_icon.png]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Juan Pablo Raba
->'''Appearances:''' ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''
->''"I'm '''literally''' a catastrophic meltdown."''
The first Inhuman that SHIELD was able to reach first and extract, in the wake of Terrigen being released into the ecosystem. He has the ability to shape metal.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Once he's grown accustomed to his powers, he's thrilled by the prospect of using them in construction, and later geeks out over [[spoiler:being bulletproof]].
* BadassGay: He's slowly but surely evolving into this, even if his powers make him more adept at in support role than a straight up combatant like the other Secret Warriors. As of "The Team" he's officially gone on missions as a Secret Warrior, has skydived into a HYDRA base, effortlessly melted bullets fired at him and Elena, and [[spoiler:killed Lucio with a pipe]], though that last one shook him up a bit.
* BuryYourGays: So far averted, but trolled a few times. The writers are aware of this trope, having played it straight previously with Victoria Hand, and twice have made it ''look'' like he's been killed, first by Lash then by Giyera, only for it to be revealed as a fake-out (firstly by revealing to be Lash's imagination, then secondly by the bullets turning to liquid prior).
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: A gay character who has special powers that people who are scared or repulsed by his type of people are trying to cure, while people who share his identity (namely Daisy) try to reassure him that his abilities are not a disease or something to be afraid of, and that he needs to come to terms with it. Get the subtext?
* {{Expy}}: Seems to be one for Sebastian Druid of the comic book version of the Secret Warriors, being an Adorkable AudienceSurrogate who's introduced with no control of his powers but comes back some time later having gained competence and confidence. He even somewhat looks like Druid.
* ExtraOreDinary: His powers include being able to control the physical state of metal. Joey eventually learns how to reshape metal into something new as well.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He has no idea how to control his powers, and he's dismayed that there's no way to reverse his powers. However, by his second appearance he has come more to terms with it and apparently doesn't want a cure anymore.
* ImmuneToBullets: To his delight; [[spoiler:he discovers this by jumping in front of three bullets fired at Daisy only for them to melt before striking him]].
* MundaneUtility: Discussed. After he gains some control over them, he notes that his powers could be very useful in construction.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He can affect certain metals up to three meters (nine feet) away, enabling a ''lot'' of damage potential by collateral.
* PowerIncontinence: He managed to wreck a good few blocks before SHIELD got to him by accident. They're working on helping him to control it, and as of "Chaos Theory" he's made considerable progress.
* StraightGay: The first definite LGBT character in the entire MCU, and currently the only gay superhero. It's revealed in a "by the way" manner, with Bobbi mentioning his ex-boyfriend as one of the things SHIELD knows about him (via Facebook), and later he wryly notes that he's already lived with one secret that made him miserable until he revealed the truth.
* TakingTheBullet: Subverted. He shields gunfire from Giyera meant for Daisy, but he subconsciously uses his power to liquefy the bullets before contact, rendering them mostly harmless.
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: [[spoiler:He stabs Lucio with a pipe in "The Team," killing him, and spends the rest of the episode in a funk heavily influenced by this.]]
* TwoferTokenMinority: Latino and gay -- and a threefer, If you count the whole Inhuman part.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Really afraid and confused when his powers awaken and he accidentally trashes a couple city blocks.

[[folder:Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez]]
!!Elena Rodriguez
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elena_rodriguez_icon.png]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Natalia Cordova-Buckley
->'''Appearances:''' ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''
An Inhuman woman with the ability to move at superhuman speed.
----
* AdaptationalNationality: Is Puerto Rican in the comics, but Colombian here.
* AgeLift: Is in her late twenties here, while her comic self was only 15 when she was a member of the team; given Daisy's own AgeLift and the moral implications of SHIELD working with a young teen, the lift makes sense.
* JumpedAtTheCall: The first thing she does when she gets her powers is to steal an arms shipment and destroy it so the weapons won't be in the hands of the corrupt cops who run her country.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: In the comics, Yo-Yo's real first name was never revealed.
* RealMenLoveJesus: She sincerely believes that her powers are a gift from God.
* SpicyLatina: A Colombian woman who wears her heart on her sleeve and can be considered quite feisty.
* StoryBreakerPower: Her speed leads the team to utterly curb stomp their way through a corrupt police station, and is likely the reason that she decides not to join the Secret Warriors full-time.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Once she's warmed up to you, she's friendly, funny and good-natured. However she has not had the easiest life and will shut down just as quickly if she has reason to mistrust you.
* SuperSpeed: She can move incredibly fast, but only for the length of time of a single heartbeat. When that passes, she snaps back to the position she started from.
