* TheFace: As the most charismatic cluster member and professional actor, Lito's skills of charm and persuasion are a 'soft ability' that come in useful when someone needs to stall for time or perform some SocialEngineering. Funnily enough, while he performs impeccably in front of an audience, he has difficulty manipulating his way out of situations with his loved ones.

to:

* DramaQueen: Amanita outright calls him this during "Happy F*cking New Year". He's by far the most openly emotional and dramatic of the cluster and doesn't hide how upset he is when things go wrong. He appears to get it from his mother who's also rather dramatic about her emotions.

** The possibility that sensates absorb aspects of each other's sexual orientations is very real. This would explain why otherwise seemingly straight characters like Wolfgang and Will have sex with Lito and with each other, and Lito (who is gay) has sex with Amanita, and are not turned off by it. Later, Wolfgang enters into a three-way relationship with Kala and her husband Rajan.

** Riley is a very very ''very'' good DJ, often referred to as ''the'' DJ. She's in very high demand, and one character (quoting another) calls her Iceland's greatest wonder. While her musical skills rarely provide the same utilities as the skills of her clustermates, she proves the most resistant to drugging due to her previous drug abuse, and Season 2 starts to show that her frequent traveling makes her very competent when it comes to social networking. In addition, music can uniquely empower sensates' connection to the psycelium.
