History Characters / TheProudFamilyFriendsAndNeighbors

* TokenWhite: The only one in the show (besides her mother, who only appears in "Tiger Whisperer"). Becomes a plot point in "End of Innocence" where she is dated by a superstar teenager who only likes white girls (but she refuses to believe so instead of who she is, until she learns the hard way it ''was'' because of her skin color).

* CerebusRetcon: Dijonay's many siblings have usually been a humorous plot point in the original series, but in the revival, her living situation with them is taking a serious toll on her. It's gotten to the point where they've racked up heavy lunch debt and have to obtain free food wherever and whenever she can.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: She's this to [=LaCienega=]. They both start off as antagonists but later become [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold flawed good guys]]. Both are the new kids in town who show up in the first episode (of the original show and the reboot respectively), and they both [[HateAtFirstSight immediately dislike Penny]], even after she tries to be nice to them. They both act cold and condescending to others, but [[HiddenHeartOfGold have kinder sides deep down.]] But aside from that, they're as different as night and day. [=LaCienega=] is a catty, but charming AlphaBitch who loves [[AttentionWhore being the center of attention]], while Maya is a quiet, antisocial, and tomboyish SoapboxSadie who mostly just keeps to herself. [=LaCienega=] initially [[BitchInSheepsClothing acted kindly to Penny's friends while being mean to Penny herself]], while Maya judged Penny ''and'' her friends for being "superficial." [=LaCienega=] is a ManipulativeBitch while Maya is [[BrutalHonesty honest to a fault]]. Penny spends the first episode of the original show trying to avoid [=LaCienega=] at all costs, while she spends most of the first episode if the revival trying and failing to be Maya's friend. Both of them accept Penny as a friend after she helps them with being bullied ([=LaCienega=] for having huge feet and Maya for having two dads), but in different ways. [=LaCienega=] [[UngratefulBitch still acted rude to Penny]] and stated that she still doesn't accept Penny as a friend, but her [[TookALevelInKindness less horrible behavior in episodes proceeding it]] suggest that [[JerkassFacade she may have been lying]]. Maya, on the other hand, openly thanked Penny for her help and accepted her as a friend ever since.

* AmbiguouslyBi: It's no secret at all that she's attracted to boys ([[AbhorrentAdmirer just ask Sticky]]), but she shows some possible attraction to girls as well. Aside from some LesYay moments with Penny, her reaction to seeing Kwok's arranged wife seemed like more than just admiration. In the revival, her reaction to seeing [=LaCienega's=] more developed body was, "Who is ''that'' snack?" [[ButterFace before seeing her temporarily hairy face]]. Interestingly this is also the ''exact'' same line she uses when seeing [[spoiler: her official new LoveInterest and boyfriend]] Darius for the first time.

They both act cold and dondescending to others, but have [[HiddenHeartOfGold kinder sides deep down]], and they both warmed up to Penny a bit after she saved them from being bullied for a secret they had ([=LaCienega=] for having big feet and Maya for having two dads).

* {{Acrofatic}}: He's very nimble and athletic despite his looks, and he was portly during his teenage years while he was almost on the way to being accepted into the Olympics for it.

* EvilCounterpart: [[DownplayedTrope While not actually evil by any means]], she's basically a meaner and [[RichBitch richer]] version of Penny. Both of them are smart, pretty, confident and naturally charismatic girls who are [[DudeMagnet fairly popular with boys]] and they both can be very stubborn. But Penny is usually nice [[BewareTheNiceOnes unless pushed too far]] and [=LaCi=], well, [[{{Jerkass}} isn't]], although she does show [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a kinder side]] from time to time. They also have [[OnlySixFaces similar face designs]] and their families mirror each other as well. Essentially, she's the Wizard Kelly to Penny's Oscar, the main difference being that Penny usually gets the upper hand on LaCi for the most part, whereas [[ButtMonkey poor Oscar]] al.ost NEVER wins against [[KarmaHoudini Wizard Kelly]].

* PopularIsDumb: Averted in the original series, where she was actually just as smart, if not started, then Penny, [[BrilliantButLazy but just didn't show it much]]. Sadly [[CharacterDerailment played alright as an arrow]] in the revival, where she doesn't know ow what BLM is and holds books upside-down.

* TookALevelInKindness: Downplayed in the original show. In seasons 2 and 3, she was still a jerk to Penny and the others, but was much less malicious about it, and was more likely to simply say mean things but not actually act on them (Watch "Rumors" and "Tween Town" back to back and you'll notice quite the difference). She was also allowed to have many more PettheDog moments (even to [[SitcomArchNemesis Penny]]) than she did in early on, making her more of a mean but mostly harmless and ultimately caring JerkWithAHeartOfGold than the almost completely unsympathetic HateSink she was in early season 1.

** Unfortunately, the revival seemed to [[CharacterDerailment bring her right back to square one]]. Then it got ZigZagged and hoe mean she is was just [[DependingOnTheWriter completely random depending on which episode you watch]].

* MaliciousMisnaming: In "Rumors", she calls Suga Mama [[Franchise/TheMuppets "Honeydew"]] (albeit [[BitchinSheepsClothing not to her face]]) and [=BeBe=] and [=CeCe=] "Happy and [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain "Nappy"]]. [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness This doesn't quite line up with how she is later]], where she, for [[AlphaBitch all her faults]], [[FriendtoAllChildren actually appears to like [=BeBe=] and [=CeCe=]]], and has the same respect for [[CoolOldLady Suga Mama]] that the other kids do. That was also the only time she ever said anything outright racist, apart from "Culture Shock", which was a VerySpecialEpisode about discrimination.
