* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: While he does feel bad about hunting down innocent ghosts overall, the main thing Ollie feels bad about the most is almost hurting Scratch and by extension, Molly, so much so to the point where he's driven to tears after admitting that. With that said, his guilt for hunting innocent ghosts is what drives him to become a better person and help ghosts ([[TheAtoner as a way to make up for his past in ghost-hunting]]) ever since he joined Molly's Ghost Friends crew.]]

And while his first attempts to fit in with the Ghost Friends group are rather awkward, the reason why he joined them was to make up for his past actions as a ghost hunter and be a better person.

* PluckyGirl: Molly's typically a wellspring of wholesomeness, even to the point where Scratch bestows his curse on Molly, causing everything to levitate as she looks increasingly petrified... then she suddenly smiles, comments "Fantastic performance!", and laving Scratch baffled.

* GoodParents: He might be goofy and eccentric, but he is a caring and loving father to Molly and Darryl.


Added DiffLines:

* GoodParents: She's a caring mother towards Molly and Darryl. This is emphasized in "The Don't-Gooder," when Molly, after seeing how neglectful Andrea's parents are towards her, hugs Sharon and Pete because she's so thankful that she has such good parents.

That's Parental Neglect if the parents are physically present but not emotionally present.


* DisappearedDad: Her father never showed up the entirety of Season 1, although it appears her paternal extended family attended her Bat Mitsvah. He ''does'' show up in Season 2, and it's explained that he travels a lot while writing. [[ParentalNeglect It also doesn't seem like he cares much for his daughter's needs to begin with.]]

* ParentalAbandonment: While Andrea's parents are ''physically'' present, Andrea is ignored and treated more as a part of their public image and social media influence than an actual child (in "The Don't-Gooder", they outright withhold giving her a hug because it'll look better in a social media post than as an off-camera gesture). This is presented as the reason she's such a bully at the start of the series.

* DeadlyGaze: Downplayed. While looking a Sobgoblin in the eye can't kill you, it can leave you in a severely depressed state. Molly almost learned that the hard way the first time she encountered one.

*BenevolentBoss: Downplayed. He's too lazy to take his job [[spoiler:as chairman seriously and dumps most of the work on the council while he goofs off with Molly. However, the ghost council ''enjoys'' paperwork, and he treats them decently enough and tries to get them to lighten up, to the point that in "Jinx vs. the Human World", they (minus Bartholomew) call him a friend.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: In "Frightmares on Main Street", Ollie lets out ''two'' shrill-sounding shrieks; the first one is when he sees Scratch's ghost friends in the haunted house and the second one is when Geoff and Howling Harriet scare him for the sake of a scaring contest.

* GeniusDitz: Geoff has proven himself to be rather smart at times, like knowing what a "double-negative" is (though in the context of that situation, he did make a naive move) and in the penultimate episode of the series, he is able to remember certain details about the night he scared Reuben.

* INeverToldYouMyName: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Todd very unambiguously does not remember his time as Scratch, referring to the McGee's as "stranger". However, his time as Scratch definitely has affected how he acts, from being more confident, to saying "enhappifying", even to calling Molly "Mol" despite not even knowing her name.
