History Characters / NCISLosAngeles

* DidntThinkThisThrough: In probably one of the most unprofessional acts of such a high-ranking individual in the franchise, basically everything involving Spencer Williams and her son in Mexico completely and utterly drives her into an irrationally angry and ''violent'' series of impulsive events to get what she wants. It gets the entire Los Angeles branch of NCIS in deep trouble and nearly gets everyone kiled, and ultimately results in [[spoiler:the Mexican cartel putting a massive bounty on her head]], resulting in the character having to [[PutOnABus leave presumably permanently]].

* OfficialCouple: As of Season 8, she's with Callen, and is later engaged to him by the end of Season 13.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Deeks for the first five season

* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Deeksfor the first five season

* DistressedDude: After being shot twice, kidnapped, used as bait, beat up on numerous occasions, and being involved in more explosions than this troper can count - honestly, the only person who MIGHT rival him is Callen, and that's only because [[spoiler:he's the last surviving member of a family that's been feuding with another for decades and everybody wants to kill him.]]
** Though he may count, at times, as a BadassInDistress since he does tend to get himself out of those messes.
*** Considering he saved Kensi's life by [[spoiler: shooting the baddie before he could kidnap her]] after racing down a couple flights of stairs to get to her when he worked it out in his head that [[spoiler: he was the bait to lure her out of hiding]]. And that was after he'd been shot. Twice.
*** He also has been [[spoiler: tortured by Siderov while being asked if Michelle was an agent.]]

** Possibly {{Justified}} as [[FridgeBrilliance her work involved going undercover, meaning she might've simply put on a long term assignment]].

* PreppyName: He gives his full name as "Eric Bartholomew Beale III, Esq." in S6E2, "Inelegant Heart".

-->'''Callen:''' When are you gonna stop moving us around like chess pieces!?
-->'''Hetty:''' I don't move ''pieces'', Mr. Callen. I move ''the board''.

** CommutingOnABus: Has returned several times from season 2 to 8, and 13

* WrittenInInfirmity: Kensi is sent on an assignment to Afghanistan in Season 5 due to Daniela Ruah's [[HideYourPregnancy pregnancy.]]

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Hetty, like a certain [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Edna Mode]], is modeled after costume designer Edith Head. In "Imposters" she mentions to have worked with Creator/BetteDavis on [[Literature/HerculePoirot Death on the Nile]], so Hetty might actually be Edith Head in the [=NCIS=] universe.

* TheyDo: Her and Deeks get together in season 6, they're currently married.

* TheyDo: Gets together with Kensi in season 6, they're currently married

A former Russian FSB agent turned ruthless arms dealer. He gets on the radar when he steals at least three nuclear bombs. He apparently has a long history with Quinn, whom is, unbeknownst to him, Michelle Hanna, Sams wife.

* ArmsDealer: The "Former Reds With Rockets For Sale" type. His role in the plot starts when he attacks a group of Russian sleeper agents that were hiding nuclear bombs. The reason? To sell the bombs for a profit.
* AxCrazy: Quinn points out that her clients aren't usually as happy to see her as him. His response? "They don't enjoy killing as much as I do." It's implied he killed his current girlfriend simply because she was jealous of Quinn.
* BigBad: Of Season 4, as his plans to sell a nuclear warhead consume much of the team's efforts. [[spoiler:Though it becomes a BigBadEnsemble with Marcel Janvier after the latter re-enters the field.]]
* TheChessmaster: By the time the NCIS team goes after him, he's already gotten his hands on at least three nukes.
* ColdBloodedTorture: He used it to find the nukes. In the Season 4 finale, [[spoiler:he captures Sam and Deeks and uses ElectricTorture and a dentist drill on them, respectively.]]
* TheDreaded: Just the mere mention of his name is enough to make any conversation tense. Even TheMafiya is terrified of him.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: In "Ascension", Sam shoots him up real good]].

----
* {{Expy}}: She slowly becomes this for Yuri from ''Series/GirlFromNowhere'' as like her, she also serves as a darker and evil foil to the cunning, powerful and abrasive female lead who represent karma for misdeeds (Kensi and Nanno). Like Yuri, Joelle was also bullied and horribly mistreated by the villains before her, which eventually caused her to go insane and become obsessed with revenge and bloodlust and begins to meddle in the main characters' missions to benefit herself for satisfaction.
* ItsPersonal: In Season 13, she goes after SVR agents stationed in LA for what happened to Katya. G and Sam warn her against doing this since Joelle brings trouble whereever she goes.
* SanitySlippage: Katya's actions against causes Joelle to slowly teether on the edge of her sanity, to the point the team doesn't even know when is she going to snap and go insane.
* TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity: While Kensi is a rebellious and abrasive but kind and altruistic {{Tomboy}} who wants to settle for a peaceful life with Deeks, Joelle turns into a demonic and borderline psychotic FemmeFatale after what Katya did to her, meddling in the investigations and [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale mistreating]] Callen in the process.
* TookALevelInJerkass: After being revealed as a C.I.A. Agent and later getting attacked by Katya, she turns into an insufferable, obnoxious and arrogant bitch towards Callen and the team and constantly meddles in their investigations and abuses her powers just to do it her own way.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: If this show had been about the L.A.P.D., Deeks would have been TheHero. Next to G, Sam, and Kensi, however, he's TheChick.

%%* TheChick: Occasionally.

* {{Irony}}: In the Season 11 episode "A Bloody Brilliant Plan", which has the team working with two British former criminals, Deeks [[RhymesOnADime starts speaking in rhyme]] at one point while trying to figure what one former crook's usage of the name "Jack Jones" means in British slang, prompting the other former crook to tell him while rhyming as well. Irritated, Sam tells the two to stop rhyming and that he "hates rhyming". This coming from a character portrayed by ''LL Cool J'' of all people.

* OfficialCouple: As of Season 8, she's with Callen.

* PutOnABus: He once again is on the bus after the Season 12 Finale "A Tale Of Two Igors" as he is now running the Tokyo office of his tech company. Only this time he's taking Nell with him (As they will both be running the office).

* CryCute: Well almost. In "Free Ride", she almost went to this since Nell wants to spend the holidays with her family. Due to the case, she can't leave until it's solved.
