History Characters / TrollhuntersOtherHumans

* MysteriousPast: Her taking the initiative and [[spoiler:knocking out Officer Scott with a shovel when he sees Dictatious and then being a little too eager with “taking care of the body”]] implies that she may have had some form of less than wholesome experiences in her lifetime.

* BiTheWay: In the second season of ''3Below'' with her death looming Shannon once again bemoans that she has never even been kissed. A girl next to her says the same thing, the two stare at each other for a second, smile, and kiss.

* UnknownRival: It is clear that Jim has not liked him since the moment they met given his flirting over Claire.

* OverprotectiveDad: In "Parental Guidance”, he admits that [=LARPing=] and going out to risk their lives fighting trolls were a lot better than [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar what he thought they were doing in secret]].

* KickTheDog: A shared one with her husband in "Bittersweet Sixteen" -- they leave Jim behind in the rain when he begs for a ride home. Even if they're mad at him for wrecking their house in the previous episode, that is cold.

* KickTheDog: A shared one with his wife in "Bittersweet Sixteen" -- they leave Jim behind in the rain when he begs for a ride home. Even if they're mad at him for wrecking their house in the previous episode, that is cold.

* PetTheDog: In "Claire and Present Danger", he immediately goes to help an unconscious and injured Jim even though he's still mad at him for trashing his house.

* PetTheDog: He's a ReasonableAuthorityFigure towards Aja and Krel in WesternAnimation/ThreeBelow because he sympathies with the true parts of their bogus backstory (in that they're refugees fleeing from a violent coup that has ravaged their home) and does his best to ensure that they're given a fair shake in Arcadia High. Since many of that show's firs season's events play out alongside the last season of Trollhunters, Uhl is still a terror towards the rest of the student body.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: He manages to fight off a Gumm-Gumm troll, remarking that he “always hated those twits.”

* BerserkButton: He becomes antagonistic towards those that make prejudiced accusations towards his students, having come to the defense of Krel twice when people insult his intelligence because of his skin color.
--> '''Birdie:''' Mr. Tarron has scored a hundred percent on every single math test. ''Highly'' unusual for his kind.\\

* PetTheDog: He's a ReasonableAuthorityFigure towards Aja and Krel in WesternAnimation/ThreeBelow because he sympathies with the true parts of their bogus backstory (in that they're refugees fleeing from a violent coup that has ravaged their home) and does his best to ensure that they're given a fair shake in Arcadia High. Since many of that show's events play out alongside the last season of Trollhunters, Uhl is still a terror towards the rest of the student body.

* AmnesiacLover: Due to the spell that broke her curse with Strickler, she forgot about most of the events of Trollmarket and Angor Rot. [[spoiler:Season Three reveals that she has been [[WistfulAmnesia having dreams and feint recollections of that night]], expressing them through her paintings, only to remember completely by end beginning of "Parental Guidance."]]

* MamaBear: [[spoiler:"Angor Management" has Barbara ready and willing to help her son fight off Agnor Rot.]]

* TeacherParentRomance: Strickler is changeling troll that works as a teacher in her son's school and they form a romance later on.

* BigFun: She's as portly as her grandson, if not more, and just as sweet.

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: To either her son or daughter, who died in a storm.

* PetTheDog: In "Claire and Present Danger", he immediately goes to help an unconscious and injured Jim even though he's still mad at him for thrashing his house.

* MultiEthnicName: First name is a common western Judaeo-Christian name, and her last name is an equally common Chinese surname. Though Mari is a somewhat common in name its spelled with an "I" and pronounced a little diffrently.

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: Admits to Toby that being the schools mascot allows a break from popularity and gives her a chance to be herself.]]

* OverprotectiveDad: He makes it clear from the get-go that he does not like Toby at all. Granted, his contempt is not completely unwarranted, pointing out the various crimes he has accumulated (breaking into the museum allegedly stealing Senior Uhl’s car, etc.). While he still does not like him or the fact that he is dating his daughter, he at least has grown to tolerate him.

* TheMagnificent: Uhl "the Unforgivable"

* ShipTease: With Vex in ''WesternAnimation/ThreeBelow''

* SternTeacher: Big time.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Becomes apparent in WesternAnimation/ThreeBelow, where he is shown to go from angry and frustrated with Aja and Krel to rather protective.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed. In ''WesternAnimation/{{Trollhunters}}'', out of all of the (human) members of the Arcadia Oaks High School Staff, Señor Uhl is the only one who lacks any sympathetic depth to him. He is shown to value his can Susanna over the well-being of his students (ignoring Jim and Steve attacking each other in "Airheads") and was willing to ignore Jim's overwhelmingly poor track-record if he took on the job of looking after Aja and Krel in his stead, showing little interest or concern on how a student could miss ''40 days'' of school. Odds are he would not have had the authority to look the other way anyway (principle or not), but he clearly does not care. [[spoiler:This is subverted in ''WesternAnimation/ThreeBelow'' when he is given a few PetTheDog moments with Aja and Krel, vowing to help them when he found out that they fled a coup and defending Krel when someone makes a racist accusation towards his intelligence.]]

* BigOlEyebrows: Has thick, brown eyebrows.
* BullyingADragon: He torments and ridicules Jim constantly, more then a few times Jim has thought about decking him but is able to resist for the most part. It should be noted that Jim has more or less forced Steve to bully him because whenever Steve went after kids actually weaker then him Jim would always step in.
* CatchPhrase: "Butt-snack," his preferred insult.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Steve has both brown hair and eyes.
* FireForgedFriends: With Eli in "Creepslayerz" as they form the titular team while investigating the strange, possibly dangerous creatures in Arcadia. At the same time, they also form a genuine, if vitriolic, friendship.

** Dim as he may seem, he's got enough brains and acting ability to land the (understudy) role of Romeo in the school play.
** While he initially comes off as crybaby blowhart, Season 2 shows he has a noble, brave side.
** [[spoiler:While embarrassed by him, Steve confesses that he really does see Coach Lawrence as the good father-figure he never really had.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: He's an unrepentant bully.

* SixthRanger [[spoiler:It's safe to say they're finally in the loop after the Season 2 finale. They are ready to help the evacuation when Jim finally calls for their aide, are exposed to Trollkind, and if the ''WesternAnimation/TalesOfArcadia'' trailer and information on ''WesternAnimation/ThreeBelow'' are anything to go off of, they will continue to play important roles in the plot of the series.]]

* HeterosexualLifePartners: She is shown to be close friends with both Claire and Darci.
* MultiEthnicName: First name is American. Last name is Chinese.

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: Admits to Toby that being the schools mascot allows a break from popularity and gives her a chance to be herself.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: She's all for Claire and Jim becoming a couple. [[spoiler: subverted in a later episode when she and Mary think that Claire is seeing a college guy "on the side".]]
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: [[spoiler:The real reason why she didn't accept [[BigFun Toby's]] invite to the Spring Fling was because he asked out ''every girl at school'', meaning he was okay with ''anyone'' as long as he had ''someone''. But, after listening to his sensitive and honest confession of his feelings for her (or the mysterious girl who was in the mole school mascot costume) she began to rethink her opinion on him.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Bebe Wood

A student at Arcadia Oaks High and Student Body Treasurer.

* [[HufflepuffHouse Hufflepuff House]]/[[RecurringExtra Recurring Extra]]: Unlike the various other minor characters, Shannon is almost defined by the fact that she is just window dressing.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: When Strickler asks if anyone has a breath mint in "[[Recap/TrollhuntersS1E19Airheads Airheads]]", Shannon offers one. Unfortunately for her, this was during the Touch-A-Truck-A-Thon, meaning she ends up getting disqualified because she removed her hand.
* WrongGenreSavvy: In "[[Recap/TrollhuntersS2E10TheRecklessClub The Reckless Club]]", she thinks that everyone is in detention because they are acting out during a stressful time of their lives. With the exception of maybe Mary, everyone else is there under false pretenses.

* ThePreciousPreciousCar: His truck, [[ICallItVera Susanna]], which he loves more than anything else. [[spoiler:Not that it'll stop him from using her to run over trolls on the day of the Eternal Night.]]
