* OnlySaneMan: She deals with Rodney's eccentricities much better than most people-- once she learns he's not a ghost, anyway.

In particular, she instantly believes that he's not a serial killer because he was bleeding the first time she met him, and, as she notes, a serial killer [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough would never be so stupid as to walk around spreading his own DNA evidence everywhere]].

Added DiffLines:

* TheNoseless: Subverted. His nose isn't usually visible in head on shots (presumably to make him look a little more unsettling), but it can be seen when he's shown in profile.


Added DiffLines:

* TheScapegoat: [[spoiler:The fact that the serial killer's terrible composite sketch just happens to look a bit like Rodney causes everyone to think it's him on account of his unusual behavior making them suspicious. However, not only is he pretty clearly innocent, but there's also Travis, ''another'' character who matches the sketch just as well, yet no one suspects him]].


Added DiffLines:

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: His face is almost entirely featureless except for his BlackBeadEyes and his constantly smiling mouth, both of which make him look like a smiley face. He also [[TheNoseless doesn't have a nose]], which is noteworthy because all of the other characters do (Rodney's nose is usually not visible head on, but can be seen when he's in profile). Notably, this makes him resemble [[spoiler:the composite sketch of the serial killer]] far more than Rodney does.

** Chad's "innocent until proven guilty" mentality towards Rodney leads her to think that he's a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter, when ''she's'' the one assuming the worst of Rodney based on either circumstantial evidence or no evidence at all and listening to random teenagers and crazy conspiracy theorists over someone she's known for years.

* RepetitiveName: It's not confirmed, but it's implied early on that the "R." in his middle initial stands for "Rodney", which would make his full name "Rodney Rodney Rodney".

Added DiffLines:

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: A major problem for his reputation among the neighborhood -- whenever he wants to get people's attention, he doesn't hesitate to tap or grab their shoulder. People are also quite unnerved by how "cold and slimy" his hands feel, but the real reason for that is simply because he uses a lot of moisturizer.

* {{Manchild}}: Downplayed. He is in his early thirties and independent and mature enough to live on his own, as well as displaying adult wisdom quite frequently (especially with regards to the environment). He also, however, shows a level of curiosity, naivete and lack of social skills that makes him come off as a bit childlike sometimes. Of course if you asked Karen, Joe or Mr. Johnson they'd all say he's a PsychopathicManchild.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: He's mostly just an annoying dick, but there are several moments that imply that [[spoiler:he's actually the ''true'' identity of the serial killer that's been lurking around the neighborhood]].
