* AmbiguouslyTrained: She knows Krav Maga, an aggression-based martial art that is commonly practiced by military personnel. Since the only visual instance of her ex-husband - James Lake Sr. - is a photograph of him in an army-green mess dress tuxedo with medals pinned to it, it is likely that she served some form of military service just like he did, or at least worked as a military M.D. at one point in her life.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/douxie_trollhunters.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Colin O'Donoghue

A guitarist and student of Arcadia Oaks Academy.
----
* ArtistsAreAttractive: Given that Douxie plays guitar in his own band, this may be part of what makes him so appealing to the female student body at Arcadia Oaks Academy.
* AscendedExtra: Goes from being a background character to the main protagonist of ''Wizards''.
* ChickMagnet: Manages to gain the affections of a number of girls at Arcadia Oaks Academy.
* InstrumentalWeapon: He uses his guitar in defense against some Gumm-Gumms about to attack Mary and Darci.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: He reads Aja’s palm in one episode and makes a lot of accurate predictions. However, it’s unclear whether he was using cold reading or if he has any skills or a bigger role to play in “Wizards.”
* PerkyGoth: Douxie’s style of dress is clearly goth but he’s shown to be friendly and winsome.
* UnknownRival: It is clear that Jim has not liked him since the moment they met given his flirting over Claire. Douxie and Claire, on the other hand, both seem completely unaware of this. If Douxie was attracted to Claire, it went out the window when [[spoiler:Claire was possessed and he was freaked out by her behavior]].
* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: Played with and lampshaded. It’s not that Douxie keeps changing jobs, he just works multiple part-time positions at different places to earn more money.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Douxie has black hair dyed indigo at the tips.

* {{Forgiveness}}: At first she's mad at Strickler for [[spoiler:nearly getting her and Jim killed, and when she loses her memory she's mad at him for leaving without even having the decency to break up in person]]. After she [[spoiler:gets her memory back, however, she's at least willing to work with Strickler when he's switched sides and is protecting Jim. The moment where she forgives him is when she urges him not to free Morgana to save her life, and he expressly says that he can't lose her again. It does help that he has the sense to only do part of the ritual and then escapes with her, and he tries to break down the bathroom door to save Jim from changing into a troll]].



* TookALevelInBadass: She is already a martial arts expert and a no-nonsense doctor, but when you refuse to beg for your life from man-eating trolls, try to take on [[spoiler:''Merlin'' with nothing but a broom and do what you can to help innocent people in the Eternal Night]] then you have definitely grown several levels of badass.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When he [[spoiler:uses his car as a weapon to fight off trolls, you know that Uhl means business]].



* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:
** If you do the work in his class, he'll let you pass at least. We see this when Jim telecommutes his video presentation, and Uhl despite giving up a C+ (changing it to a B-) is impressed that Jim kept working while "sick".
** He becomes this in ''3Below'' on learning that the two new students that are breaking into the science lab and have NoSocialSkills are actually refugees that have nowhere to go after their homeland had a coup. Uhl gives them a DeclarationOfProtection and does what he can to help them adjust to a new environment after a traumatic experience. This is why he asked Jim to show them the ropes because despite Jim's poor track record he knows the kid has a good heart.
