Cool Loser TRS cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


* CoolLoser: Lara Jean is near the bottom of the food chain and doesn't have many friends despite being attractive, socially adept, and fashionable. This is attributed to her shyness. Presumably, no longer the case after she gets together with the BigManOnCampus, as school scenes show her having a good time.

Overprotective Dad is no longer a trope.


* BoyfriendBlockingDad: Downplayed with Dr. Covey. He does order Peter to keep his hands to himself while on his date with Lara Jean, but does so in a playful manner. And when she goes on the annual school trip, he gives her a number of condoms in case she does decide to have sex and will be safe.

* CommitmentIssues: In the first book, Lara Jean is scared of actually fulfilling a romantic relationship because the person she opens her heart up to could also leave. [[spoiler: It's theorised as being the reason she subconsciously only falls for guys she knows she can't have (her sister's boyfriend, an already taken boy, a gay guy, etc). That way she doesn't have to actually make a genuine effort to pursue them and can simply live in her own fantasy. It's also suspected it may have stemmed from grief over her mother's death when Lara Jean was young.]]

For example, in the second book, Peter gives Lara Jean a poem, she thinks he's written it for her. But Chris, who's implied to be not as academically good as Lara Jean, is the one who points out it's just ''[[Creator/EdgarAllanPoe Annabel Lee]]'' with "Lara Jean" in place of "Annabel Lee".




to:

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The first book made a point that Josh was essentially part of the Covey family, but he's DemotedToExtra in the second book and completely absent in the third. This is justified as he's a year older than Lara Jean and has already graduated by the time the third book starts. But his absence is still kind of jarring, especially since [[BackForTheFinale John makes one last appearance]].

* BettyAndVeronica:
** A weird example. Personality-wise, he is the Betty to Peter's Veronica and Lara Jean's Archie, as he is the kind love interest who has had a crush on Lara Jean for a long time (while Peter only started to pay attention to her after he broke up with Gen). He and Lara Jean share the same studious and shy personality, while Peter is untamed and carefree. However, when it comes to familiarity, he is the Veronica to Peter's Betty, because he comes back to Lara Jean's life as a pen pal, while Peter is her established relationship.

!The Song-Coveys
[[spoiler:Lara Jean]]
!!Lara Jean Song-Covey
->'''Played by:''' Creator/LanaCondor, Isabelle Beech & Momona Tamada (young)

The protagonist. Lara Jean is a romantic high school student with a penchant for writing love letters. When the five letters she has written to the boys she fell in love with get sent to their intended recipients, her life turns upside down.
----

* AffectionateNickname: Lara Jean is "LJ" to those close to her. One of Peter’s friends calls her “Lar-Je” because it sounds like “largie” which is ironic since she’s small.
* CommitmentIssues: In the first film, Lara Jean is scared of actually fulfilling a romantic relationship because the person she opens her heart up to could also leave. [[spoiler: It's theorised as being the reason she subconsciously only falls for guys she knows she can't have (her sister's boyfriend, an already taken boy, a gay guy, etc). That way she doesn't have to actually make a genuine effort to pursue them and can simply live in her own fantasy.]]
* CoolLoser: Lara Jean is near the bottom of the food chain and doesn't have many friends despite being attractive, socially adept, and fashionable. This is attributed to her shyness. Presumably no longer the case after she gets together with the BigManOnCampus, as school scenes show her having a good time.
* FormerFriendOfAlphaBitch: Lara Jean and Gen were friends in middle school, but had a falling out. Gen went on to be a bitchy popular girl who singles out Lara Jean for bullying.
* GenreSavvy: Fittingly for the protagonist of a teen romcom, Lara Jean is a born romantic and frequently watches romcom films or discusses romcom tropes.
* GreenEyedEpiphany: Lara Jean didn't realize her feelings for Josh until he started dating Margot.
* InformedAbility: Lara Jean's being academically good pops up a few time over the course of the film, but it's not really demonstrated.
* NiceShoes: Lara Jean’s vintage boots from Etsy in the first film. Chris defends them to Gen who insulted them, stating that they’re amazing. Peter later compliments them and said that he couldn’t say anything about it as he was dating Gen at the time.
* SweetBaker: Lara Jean has a kind, gentle, and down-to-earth personality.

[[folder:Kitty]]
!!Katherine "Kitty" Song-Covey
->'''Played by:''' Creator/AnnaCathcart

Lara Jean's precocious and excitable younger sister.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the book, Kitty sending out Lara Jean's letters was revenge for embarrassing her, while in the film it's an attempt to get her shy sister out of her shell (if partly so that Kitty can benefit from favors from Lara Jean's boyfriend-to-be.)
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Lara Jean's younger sister is prone to making her life harder. They bicker, albeit affectionately.
* AffectionateNickname: Katherine only allows people close to her to call her "Kitty." When Peter asks if he can drive her and Lara Jean to school every day in exchange of giving him [[ProductPlacement Yakult]] every day, she immediately includes Peter on the list.

* BumblingDad: Dr. Covey is implied to be this by Lara Jean's sisters, due to their mother's passing. He provides for and loves them dearly, but is a little in the dark when it comes to girl stuff.
* GoodParents: Despite being an implied BumblingDad, Dr. Covey has shown to be a caring and loving father to his daughters. He even gives Lara Jean condoms if she decides to have sex because he knows (and accepts) that she's going to make her own life choices and wishes for her to be safe if she does. (He also gently tells her that he trusts her not to do anything to simply make a guy like her.) Although doing so greatly embarrasses Lara Jean for the obvious reasons.
* OverprotectiveDad: Downplayed with Dr. Covey. He does order Peter to keep his hands to himself while on his date with Lara Jean, but does so in a playful manner. And when she goes on the annual school trip, he gives her a number of condoms in case she does decide to have sex and will be safe.
