* DissonantSerenity: She's borderline FauxAffablyEvil minus the evil at the end. [[spoiler:While holding her petty murderous neighbors at gunpoint, she still makes "civil conversation" all while barely bothering to hide just her grimaces of hateful anger.]]
* HeelRealization: It doesn't take her long to realize that what she and her husband are doing to the stranger is not any different to what the Purge murderers outside the house want to do.



* LockedOutOfTheLoop: She was so horrified by what happened with Henry trying to kill her dad (and also didn't see the stranger in the foyer of the house) that she runs off to process it all alone. It means that she's left entirely unaware of what's going on when the invaders start harassing them outside, and doesn't know why they're even outside to begin with.



* NoKillLikeOverkill: She fires no less than six shots right into the Polite Leader's body when he's threatening her family.
* SkewedPriorities: Subverted. While she seems to be more concerned with her murderous boyfriend than her own family, after he's dead, she seeks out her family to see if her father is okay and only brings him up a couple more times while clearly not having anything against her father for defending himself.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: What happens when her boyfriend tries to kill her father to be with her? While she reacts to Henry's gunshot because he happened to be right there, she is horrified by what he did and doesn't hold any grudges against her father for defending himself against Henry.



* BrutalHonesty: Definitely when talking to Leo. Has no problem flat-out telling him when he's being a jerk. Regardless of him being the only hope they have

Neither the scary nor sassy Black woman tropes fit Kimmy. She isn't a sterotypical near Blackspoltation character to fit sassy and she's scary but it's not really centered around her race. Those entries seem to be here because she is a Black woman being brash and scary, but that's not how those tropes work.


* SassyBlackWoman: She is a street talking teenage delinquent.
* ScaryBlackWoman: When she revealed herself to be a Purger wanting to kill anyone who stands in her way.

* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Although not without sheltered naivete, Charlie has a fair amount of sympathy for other people (more so than his own parents) and is the only one who seems to understand that The Purge is wrong.

Added DiffLines:

* BrattyTeenageDaughter: A classic example until circumstances force her to grow up.


Added DiffLines:

* CoolBigSis: She and Charlie appear to get along pretty well and enjoy making crude jokes together at during, much to the chagrin on their parents.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: She might seem like a bit of a brat, but she loves her family dearly and was horrified when her crazed boyfriend attempted to kill her father.


Added DiffLines:

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: He asks his parents why they don't purge and if they would if they had to, and their answers not only displease him but demonstrate to the audience the secret regime and classist nature of the Purge.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceGuy: The only member of the Sandin family who isn't a snob as he makes a genuine effort to selflessly help someone who needed it regardless of the outcome. Worth noting that he's the only one who seemed disturbed by the idea of the Purge before it began, while the rest of his family were perfectly content with it.

Added DiffLines:

* PragmaticVillainy: [[spoiler:After the Ever After Purgers make their appearance, the NFFA send their militaries out to contain them and publicly announce the opening of Canada and Mexico's borders for all refugees to seek shelter in. This is less out of seeing the error of their ways and more them trying to regain some sense of control while the country they run quickly falls into anarchy. It doesn't save them in the end, as they get violently deposed.]]

Added DiffLines:

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: ''Film/TheForeverPurge'' retroactively reveals the entire Purge as a concept to be a serious case of this. As it turns out, creating a culture where murder is portrayed as perfectly fine for even a single night a year would turn a ton of people into psychopaths. And eventually those psychopaths aren't going to be content with having just a single night to release their violent urges.]]

Added DiffLines:

* BreakTheCutie: ''And how.'' She watches her boyfriend attempt to murder her father, then watches her boyfriend die in her arms, then gets held at gunpoint by Dwayne, then watches her parents torture Dwayne into submission, then watches her father die. All in ''one night!''
