This is what first tips off Kevin's therapist that something is wrong, since the alter Barry, who he claims to be, doesn't have this.

By far the most dangerous, hostile, and terrifying of all the personalities, the Beast is the 24th identity that resides in Kevin's mind. The Beast is extremely violent to the point of savagery, having an unquenchable lust for human flesh, and an intense perspective that the rest of the world are impure because they haven't suffered like he has. The Beast possesses superhuman strength, speed, agility, stamina, invulnerability, and pain tolerance.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: [[spoiler: The Beast is the exact opposite of Elijah Price from Unbreakable. While Elijah was a primarily cerebral threat who presented himself as David's ally and friend throughout before being revealed as a criminal and terrorist, the Beast doesn't appear until the end, serving as an entirely physical threat who attacks and violently pursues Casey, but ultimately chooses to spare her. Also, as Mrs. Price alluded to in the first film, the Beast is the Soldier Villain- a physical threat to the hero to Elijah's Mastermind- the true antagonist of the story. So it's fitting that he ultimately agrees to become TheDragon to Elijah in Glass.]]

* ClassPrincess: It's hard to tell whether Claire is a LovableAlphaBitch (as most of her screentime is spent trying to escape from an insane killer rather than in a regular setting). She is air-headed and occasionally rude, but she strives to avoid being mean or exclusionary, even to people she doesn't really like, such as inviting Casey to her birthday party so she won't feel left out after Claire invited the rest of their class, and offering her a ride home after the party.

** Casey can't contain a smile at Hedwig's goofy nature when meeting him in "Glass", despite that he helped to keep her captive. Hedwig is perpetually 9 though so despite his CreepyChild tendencies has an air of innocence.
** Casey is more serious and business with Dennis, though she still shows concern for the Horde. The fact that at least 12 good alters, including Kevin are in the same body gives a pretty good reason to care regardless of her feeling on Dennis, the guy who actually kidnapped her and her classmates.
