History Characters / TheNevers

* GutturalGrowler: He has a very deep, rumbling voice.

** Leads to a PrecisionFStrike moment in 1.06 when, after failing to save [[spoiler: Maladie - or so they think]], Penance's rescue gizmo (a rocket-propelled dirigible) sails over the Orphanage courtyard, and Penance sighs "Fucking prototype..."

* RichKidTurnedSocialActivist: Unlike many other members of the upper class, Lavinia believes that the appearance of the Touched is not something to be afraid of, and created the Orphanage to give them a safe haven. Learning that Touched girls are being abducted enrages her, so she invites Amalia and Penance to the opera to make the Touched more visible to society. Lavinia has a positive attitude towards progress in general, believing that society must evolve with the times and mocking her peers for opposing the influx of French loan words into the English language.

* {{Adorkable}}: Thanks to being [[NoSocialSkills very socially awkward]], very nerdy about birds, but also being rather sweet and earnest, and apologetic about his problems with communication (as opposed to getting frustrated and blaming his conversation partner). And the show goes out of its way to make clear that he would never, ever [[PowerPerversionPotential use his "turn" to creep on a woman.]]
* AmbiguousDisorder: Augie's particular brand of severe social awkwardness and desperate inability to read the mood / nonverbal parts of conversations, his self-awareness that he's "odd", plus his obsessive interest in birds (established long before he was Touched), all are very recognizable to people who are on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum. But given the time period, of course it's not labeled as such in-story.

->'''Portrayed By:''' Ben Chaplin

* HotScientist: Utterly gorgeous in addition to being an absolute genius.

* SmarterThanYouLook: She's genuinely insane, but she's also quite clever when she wants to be. [[spoiler:Case in point: the hanging plot, and her pretending to be perfectly sane journalist Effie Boyle for a long period of time with no one suspecting]]. It's hinted that while she ''is'' psychotic, she also plays it up a bit for dramatic effect. And of course, she's clever enough to lead her own gang, and be able to pay them (or at least Bonfire Annie).

* DarkAndTroubledPast: In "Ignition", she mentions that her turn had her declared insane and hints she was briefly institutionalized. It is also implied her late husband was abusive. [[spoiler:The reality is a lot darker: She's one of the few people left alive during humanity's collapse and was actually driven to suicide after losing the last of her hope for humanity, only to be dropped into the body of a Victorian woman with no idea why.]]

* DrivenToSuicide: She is pushed kill herself in the river by a lifetime of unhappiness, allowing Zephyr to take over her vacant body when the Galanthi passes by overhead. While her body survives, her consciousness appears to have moved on.

* TragicStillbirth: [[spoiler:The "original" Molly True had at least two failed pregnancies, and her husband was less than sympathetic about it.]]

* OldSoldier: Amalia's main advantage is that [[spoiler:she's really a middle-aged veteran soldier with three decades of experience, skilled in hand-to-hand combat, tactics, and with an extremely high pain threshold. She is also gifted with a [[TheDeterminator steel will to succeed and survive.]]]]

* GentleGiant: According to Penance, she's as meek as a kitten. She's also been seen cuddling Myrtle like a teddy bear on more than one occasion.

* SuperStrength: Given her size, she has the proportional strength she had when she was smaller. This means she can carry a heavy wooden table like it was a cardboard box.

* VocalDissonance: Despite her size, she still has a high-pitched girly voice.

* PintSizedPowerhouse: Substantially shorter than even Amalia (who stands only 5'4"), but still strong enough to offhandedly shove a gate closed that two other women were struggling to move, and tough enough to shake off a 30' fall without any apparent injury.

* SuperStrength: Her turn.

* MindOverMatter: Her turn is telekinesis.

* TheDreaded: [[spoiler: When he decides to throw [[FantasticRacist Purist perps]] that were being uncooperative in the interrogation for [[JusticeByOtherLegalMeans assaulting a police officer instead of their original crime]], the larger and brawnier mook decides to take up his offer...until the interrogator introduces Mundi as "[[RedBaron the Ape]]", of East End boxing renown. [[OhCrap Upon recognizing exactly]] [[MuggingTheMonster who he was about to get in a fight with]], [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere the mook was quick to back off and change his tune.]]]]

* PowerIncontinence: She cannot not compel people to speak honestly and truthfully around her. Even when sitting in a police station trying not to draw attention to herself, coppers and criminals around her have more honest conversations with each other.
