* AmbiguouslyHuman: Ms. Casey is supremely strange, seeming to lack much in the way of traditional human empathy and being utterly focused on her job to the point where she becomes distressed if anything unexpected happens. Then there's Cobel's remark that she's trying something new with Ms. Casey, as if she's a pet being controlled.

Then there's Cobel's remark that she's trying something new with Ms. Casey, as if she's a pet being controlled. (Her uncannyness can be explained by her having been "offline" most of the time - since she has only been active for 107 hours, from her perspective she has only had a few days to adjust to her function inside Lumon.)



* FateWorseThanDeath: Even compared to other employees, being a part-time Innie is gradually revealed to be particularly unsettling. She's only been "active" for 107 hours, shut down in-between each wellness session.

[[spoiler: And this doesn't even address what happens to her outie who has been active for the rest of the time: Unless she's in cahoots with Lumon and actively participates in the gaslighting of Mark, this would mean that she has been a full-time prisoner for years.]]

* WistfulAmnesia: Innie Mark still mourns Gemma at some level, even if he not aware of it. Petey notes that Mark was visibly but unknowingly sad even at the office, and in a therapy session Innie Mark sculpts the tree at the location of Gemma's death.

to:

* GoodIsNotSoft: As of the end of Season 1, she's the severance program's biggest obstacle and an ally to Mark and the innies (though the latter aren't yet aware of her). However, she is willing to beat Graner to death before he's done anything threatening in a way that clearly upsets outie Mark.

Added DiffLines:

* MeaningfulName: "Helena" means "shining light" and could refer to both her privileged status and the way she plans to "shed light" on Lumon's work practices. "Helly R." is similar to "Hell," which she mentions multiple times when describing Lumon, and aligns with her nature as a FieryRedhead and a "hellraiser."


Added DiffLines:

* BeneathTheMask: He's usually smiling, laughing, and attempting to persuade the employees with rewards, but when he's challenged we get to see his panicked and angry side, such as when Graner goes missing or he's attacked by Dylan.

* TheDeterminator: Helly is completely devoted to escaping Lumon, to the point where she'd rather die than obey, even under the orders of her own outie. At first this causes friction with the other MDR team members but eventually they join her.

* EvilIsPetty: As Mrs. Selvig She keeps "confusing" which trash and recycling bins go out and putting both of hers in Mark's space, much to his frustration.

* PosthumousCharacter: Many of the family has long since passed away, but their propaganda and influence on the modern company still permeates into the present.

to:

* NonActionBigBad: Implied for Jame. It's not clear how much he himself is involved with operations or if he's even had any direct contact with Cobel or the others at all. The instructions Cobel gets are from "the Board," not him specifically, and usually passed on through Natalie.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: We haven't seen much of her, but her work developing reintegration and fighting against Lumon make her a genuine threat to them, and she's had an offscreen HeelFaceTurn that certainly feels like the origin story of a resistance hero.
