* ControlFreak: In ''Under the Gunn'' he tended to overtake his designer's work and give a lot of input in the final results.

As a result, Oscar, one of the underdogs of the entire cast, ends up winning the whole competition.

* NeverMyFault: She mostly blamed her bad strike on her model Rachael because she didn't have the right walking technique, so she switched models at the first chance she got. Even then, her dress got her eliminated and not even Tarah's modeling could save it. During the Reunion show, she gets confronted about her poor treatment of Rachael during the competition, but she brushes it off and claims that she had to give her tough love so "she could evolve". Rachael promptly rolls her eyes at this response.

Also he isn't seen hanging out with Santino, Nick, Daniel and Andrae after work hours, as he preferred to be far from the noise. At one point Andrae stated he thought of Emmet as a selfish person, which he later took back at the reunion.

** For the lingerie challenge, her sketches for Heidi were... Comicbook inspired underwear with WrittenSoundEffect bubbles.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: All her designs. To the point she was eliminated instead of Marla (who ripped off her dress from one of the references, a big No for a self-respected designer in a ''design competition'').
* {{Jerkass}}: Where to begin...
** As Nick pointed out, Guadalupe was going to everyone's stations offering unrequested critiques. [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes Not that her own design was a model to take]], but still...
** She was seen picking on Kara's HotBlooded attitude while she herself was being incoherent.
** In the Nicky Hilton Challenge, she immediately mentioned to Nicky how Marla ripped off one of her dresses. Not that she needed that to be pointed out, as it was blatantly obvious, but not cool, Lupe...

Added DiffLines:

!Chloe Dao
* ColorMotif: Most of her challenge pieces were blue dresses.
* GenkiGirl
* FunSize: She was the shortest of the cast. And even more noticeable when [[HugeGuyTinyGirl paired for the Team challenge with Emmett]].
* HeroicBSOD: She broke to tears when it was revealed the final collection needed to have an additional surprise look, as she felt she couldn't design anymore.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: When she teamed up with Emmet.
** Also her fiance is more than OneHeadTaller than her.
* NiceGirl: Even thought she had her own opinions about people in the workroom (mostly against Santino), she still tried to be polite.

!Daniel Vosovic
* DisappointedInYou: His finale collection disappointed everyone and the judges, who expected better from him. It's so bad that the term "Vosovic'd"[[note]]The designer who had a strong run in the season created a disappointing finale collection[[/note]] derived from him.
* NiceGuy
* {{Gayngst}}: One of his personal stories was about how he had a hard time to come out to his family, having recently come out months prior to the show.
* StraightGay: Most viewers didn't guess about his sexuality until he talked about it during the show.
* StraightMan: Daniel is the one who gave Nick a Pep Talk when he was distraught about the model switch.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted, there was also Daniel Franco.

!Santino Rice
* AffablyEvil: Not exactly evil. He just came off as constantly annoying and stubborn. But he was really funny and entertaining.
* BassoProfundo: And made a good use of it during the show, singing or making a perfect impression of Tim Gunn.
* BiTheWay
* BreakoutCharacter: He's probably one of the more visible former contestants given his participation in ''On The Road with Austin and Santino'' and as a recurring judge on RuPaulsDragRace.
* {{Corpsing}}: The extended cut for the Barbie Challenge showed that he was trying ''hard'' to not burst laughing when Andrae's sobbing went on for more than ''10 minutes''.
* DesignatedVillain: Unlike Wendy, Santino was just arrogant and stubborn. He never plotted any kind of trick against his fellow competitors. [[invoked]]
* EasilyForgiven: Daniel Vosovic and Chloe forgave his JerkAss attitude during the show before the Finale.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: At fashion week he dedicated his final collection to his mother, and has often cited her as his greatest influence.
* {{Jerkass}}
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He did consider Nick, Daniel V. and Andrae his friends.
** JerkassHasAPoint: Althought Santino never voiced all his opinions to their faces, but to the ConfessionCam, he was right about Nick's garment for Daniel looked like a girl's jacket, and that Daniel was going to be in trouble if he didn't realize his collection wasn't right.
* TheCastShowoff: He was ''constantly'' singing (usually tunes of his own making), and his impersonations of Tim Gunn and the judges are legendary among the show's fans.
* RealMenWearPink: Says he has played with Barbies since he was a kid.
* ShipperOnDeck: Joked A LOT about [[RunningGag Tim Gunn hitting on Andrae]].
** [[FanFic He even invented a story where Tim and Andrae went on a date to Red Lobster]].
* SophisticatedAsHell: Whenever he is impersonating Tim Gunn.
--> '''Santino!Tim''': Designers. Up until now everyone f*ckin' sucked. However, go out there and kick butt.
* SincerestFormOfFlattery: Invoked by Santino when Tim confronted him about his impersonations.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He was Manly Man, next to Andrae's Sensitive.

!Andrae Gonzalo
* BreakTheCutie: His first shop closed shortly before he started the show; he took it very hard.
* CampGay: His tee shirt says it all: "I'm So LA".
* ChekhovSGunman: He gets chosen to aid Santino during the Finale.
* DramaQueen: See MenDontCry below.
* [[GenkiGirl Genki Boy]]: Would generally go through a door twirling and dancing.
* GirlyRun: A good part of his clips include him running as gayest as possible.
* {{Keet}}
* MenDontCry: Hardly averted. Extended cut shows us his second episode meltdown lasted 10 long minutes.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He was Sensitive, next to Santino's Manly Man (or anyone for that matter).
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: The others describe him talking in ''british-french-gay-weird'' accent

!Nick Verreos
* BreakoutCharacter: He's the most featured former contestant in general media.

** He was featured blogger for many of the show's seasons at the official site.
* CampGay
* ChekhovSGunman: He gets chosen to aid Daniel during the Finale.
* CoolUncle: He mentioned he was the "Uncle Nick who would give his niece the most chic Barbie".
* CoolTeacher: He teaches at FIDM.
** Years later his teaching skills get to test for the spinoff "Under the Gunn".
* HeroicBSOD: Has this when Zulema switched models with him. Nick got it hard, since he adored Tara, so he spent most of the episode sad and considering to quit the competition. He got over it in the last half of the episode.
* NiceGuy: In contrast to Zulema, Nick was very gentle to his models. While he initially was upset by the model switch (venting all his anger about how Rachael's walk sucked), he eventually came to terms with the situation and started to treat Rachael better. Both Rachael and Tara had stated that Nick was the sweetest designer to work with.
* RealMenWearPink: He won a Barbie challenge and the outfit made for him by Chloe for the makeover challenge had a pink-back vest and pink shirt, and he looked awesome in it.
* ShockingElimination: Many believed firmly he was going to be in the Final Three.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Santino. Even thought he didn't want to either work in a team with Santino or take any of his annoying jokes, Nick declared in the reunion that part of him wants Santino to win in the Finale. Outside of Santino's {{Jerkass}} moments, he and Nick are seen having fun, being good roomates and singing along in the workroom.

!Diana Eng
* {{Adorkable}}
* AsianAndNerdy: She describes herself as a "Fashion Nerd", telling how in highschool she read more science magazines than fashion magazines.
* ChekhovSGunman: She gets chosen to aid Chloe during the Finale.
* GadgeteerGenius: Her specialty is to incorporate technology in her pieces, like cameras in the hoodies, earplug-earrings, magnet hooks, etc. She even released a book about this.
* HollywoodNerd
* InSeriesNickname: The other nicknamed her "Dirty Diana" when partying.
* {{Meganekko}}, SmartPeopleWearGlasses
* NiceGirl: She had big patience considering she was in the same room with Guadalupe and Santino.
* OnlySaneWoman: Her team was composed of [[CloudCuckooLander Guadalupe]] and [[TheLoad Marla]]. She was the only one holding them together.
** In the same challenge, Marla's model got pissy and didn't want to wear the outfit. Diana herself had to make her, since it was her job to do it.
* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]

!Kara Janx
* CoolHat / AuthorAppeal: If she can, she would make a hat for her outfits. She almost lost her sketch time just to look for her Barbie's hat in the toy store.
* GranolaGirl: Described by Santino
* HotBlooded
* TheStoner: Played for laughs in the flower challenge, where she commented it was a waste having all that grass and not smoke it.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Fashion critics said that she might have won the show with her finale collection if she was not aufed over Chloe.

!Zulema Griffin
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She didn't form bonds with anyone, instantly marking her territory from Day 1.
* BrutalHonesty:
** When teamed up with Kara, she told her to "Cut the cry or Cry and cut", which is also one CrowningMomentOfAwesome from her. Even Kara herself agreed Zulema was right.
** Although all the other designers were in shock for the model switch, Zulema was still right when she said her model didn't have a good walk and Nick should try to win to take Tara back instead of whine.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When they moved to the apartments, Zulema immediately claimed the closet for herself, explaining in the confessionals how territorial she was, being the oldest of seven children. She only conceded to Marla ''one'' hanger.
* GollumMadeMeDoIt: Season 2's Zulema had an alter ego in Shatangi.
* HideYourLesbians: All the parts were she told the others about her wife were edited out.
* HotBlooded: Especially in Shatangi mode.
* {{Jerkass}}: She treated her models badly (Rachael hated her, while Tara complained how she kept poking her with the needles while sewing the dress on her).
** JerkassHasAPoint: While she was treated as the villain for the model switch, Zulema wasn't in the wrong, since it was only logical to have a better model once given the opportunity.
* SassyBlackWoman
* [[ScaryBlackMan Scary Black Woman]]: In Shatangi mode.
* StatuesqueStunner: She used to work as a model.
* StraightGay: Even without the editing, you wouldn't suspect that she has a wife.

! Marla Duran
* CoolOldLady: Subverted. While many of the designers liked her and she was overall a nice lady, everybody thought her below technical and design skills were going to get her out anytime soon.
* ExtremeDoormat: She quickly was intimidated by Zulema taking over the closet and conformed with having ''just one hanger'' out of it.
* SincerestFormOfFlattery: For the Nicky Hilton challenge, she started to rip off one of Nicky's dresses fom the catalogue, since she "didn't trust her own creative voice". After Tim pointed out she was being a copycat, she made slight changes to the dress, but it was still blatantly obvious the dress was a copy. What makes it worse is that she insisted all the time that ''[[BlatantLies it was her dress]]''. Marla was lucky Guadalupe made a dress so horrible that it gained the elimination instead.
* TeamMom: Averted. While her attitude was gentle and she kept mentioning she had to rise her son while running her boutique, the others had to teach her in the workroom how to put her garment together, since Marla was a self-taught dressmaker and the others had professional training.

! Guadalupe Vidal
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Look up for her response at the reunion show and try to understand half of it...
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Too much to list, but most prominent is her [[CantHoldHisLiquor answer in the reunion show about her elimination]].
** In her first episode, she mentioned her haircut was inspired in Creator/BruceLee, so she could beat the competition.
** For the lingerie challenge, her sketches for Heidi were... Comicbook inspired underwear with WrittenSoundEffect bubbles.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: All her designs. To the point she was eliminated instead of Marla (who ripped off her dress from one of the references, a big No for a self-respected designer in a ''design competition'').
* {{Jerkass}}: Where to begin...
** As Nick pointed out, Guadalupe was going to everyone's stations offering unrequested critiques. [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes Not that her own design was a model to take]], but still...
** She was seen picking on Kara's HotBlooded attitude while she herself was being incoherent.
** In the Nicky Hilton Challenge, she immediately mentioned to Nicky how Marla ripped off one of her dresses. Not that she needed that to be pointed out, as it was blatantly obvious, but not cool, Lupe...

! Emmett [=McCarthy=]
* TheDandy
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: He is really tall. And even more noticeable when [[HugeGuyTinyGirl paired for the Team challenge with]] [[FunSize Chloe]].
* IneffectualLoner: In the first episode, Emmet aimed immediately for the room with the single bed, and was ok with having the apartment all for himself after his two roomates were eliminated. Also he isn't seen hanging out with Santino, Nick, Daniel and Andrae after work hours, as he preferred to be far from the noise. At one point Andrae stated he thought of Emmet as a selfish person, which he later took back at the reunion.
* OnlySaneMan: Compared to Santino and the other male contestants, he was really the highlight of this trope in his season.
* TheQuietOne
* SharpDressedMan: He started as a Menswear tailor before venturing into Women's clothing.
* TheStoic
* StraightGay
* StraightMan: Which explains why he didn't click with the other designers, as they were crazier and louder.

! Daniel Franco
See [[Characters/ProjectRunwaySeason1 Season 1 Contestants]]

! John Wade
* CampGay
* FormerlyFat: He slimmed down during the time between his elimination and the reunion show.

! Heidi Standridge
* GenkiGirl: When she got casted, she {{squee}}d non-stop.

* OneSteveLimit: Averted, since she had the same name as the Host.
* ThePollyanna: Even when she got eliminated in the first episode, she kept saying "I'm fine. Have a nice day!"

!Kirsten Ehrig
* HelloAttorney: She is a lawyer and a swimsuit designer, and also modelled her own pieces.
* HonorBeforeReason: She refused to integrate her scarf to the garment because it was a family heirloom. When she was eliminated because of this, she said she didn't regret it, as she considered her family ties to be more important than the competition.
* ObviousPregnancy: Played with. After several months, the designers get together for the Reunion episode, and everyone get surprised when they see Kirsten is pregnant.
-->'''Daniel Franco''': (joking while pointing at Kirsten) What's that?!
-->'''Raymundo''': You tell me. You're heterosexual.
* TooDumbToLive: She had a scarf that she had to incorporate in her design, but she didn't because it was a family heirloom. At the runway, Nina and Heidi pointed out she didn't have to destroy it at all.

!Raymundo Baltazar
* CampGay
* DeadpanSnarker: Two quotes towards Daniel Franco...
-->'''Daniel Franco''': ''(joking while pointing at Kirsten)'' What's that?!
-->'''Raymundo''': You tell me. You're heterosexual.

-->'''Raymundo''': ''(about Daniel Franco's "GirlfriendInCanada")'' If the boy says he's straight, leave the boy think that.
* RaisedCatholic

!The Models
Yes, because they were in the competition as well.
* FunnyAfro: Danyelle (Andrae's model), also noting she was a DJ besides her modelling job. To the point Andrae verbally confronted the judges about not wanting to cover her afro with a blond wig for the Barbie challenge.
* GenkiGirl: Tara, seeing from her interactions with Nick.
* HiddenDepths: Grace is a professional illustrator.
* {{Jerkass}}: Cara, Marla's model, refused to wear one of the team's outfits. Diana had to make her do it, citing she had no room to complain, since it's her job.
* OutOfFocus: Except for the Rachael-Tara-Zulema drama, this season the models weren't shown having interaction with the designers that much.
* StatuesqueStunner: Grace was the tallest from them all. Heather was also tall, since she was slightly shorter than Santino.
* WardrobeMalfunction, MaleGaze: Rachael had this when wearing Zulema's sweater dress. It was so short that her butt was visible. Credit to her for keeping a straight face.
