Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.


* AmbiguousDisorder: She is obsessed with controlling and manipulating boys, and has an extreme LackOfEmpathy for anyone who gets in her way or questions her moral code. She's addicted to sex, either due to a form of nymphomania, or because she knows it's the only weapon she has that can win over boys largely without fail.

Chances are this was more her desire to see if she could break Ryan as a personal achievement more than anything else.

BreakTheCutie: After Fiona is secretly photographed in the shower, with the subsequent images being shared about the school faculty, she is left literally in tears and it takes her several days to get over the trauma of what had happened.



* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She takes pleasure in winning over the roughest and most immoral boys at Port Royal so that they would have no qualms doing her bidding in exchange for sexual favours, with her posse including the ever-irritating Scott, and Richard, who quickly becomes so violent and drug-addled that he becomes too extreme even for her.
* AlphaBitch: Quickly establishes herself as this after joining a higher grade than Ryan and Janie, circulating drugs and making a name for herself among the boys as someone who'll dish out sexual favours in exchange for something in return.
* AmbiguousDisorder: She is obsessed with controlling and manipulating boys, and has an extreme LackOfEmpathy for anyone who gets in her way or questions her moral code. She's addicted to sex, either due to a form of nymphomania, or because she knows it's the only weapon she has that can win over boys largely without fail.



* BigBadEnsemble: Lizzie as the ringleader, alongside Scott, Richard and several other boys and girls who partake in her mischievous activities.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Lizzie; bleach blonde, Richard; brown-haired, Scott; redhead.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: She's used to getting what she wants, as demonstrated when she tries to seduce and later threaten Ryan into coming over to her side. After he turns his back on her twice, her composure briefly breaks and she ends of grabbing his arm, declaring that 'most' boys do as she tells them to.



* BullyBrutality: She has no reservations about making the lives of those who oppose her a living hell, as Janie and Fiona find out to their cost.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the AlphaBitch, TheBully, and the {{Delinquent}}. She's a girl who's quite clearly damaged in many ways, being an insatiable slut, and a domineering personality that demands that she is in charge of every situation she encounters regardless of who it may hurt. This, coupled to a healthy sense of mischief, leads to a dangerous combination.
* {{Delinquent}}: She's a natural born troublemaker who enjoys spreading mischief and mayhem around the school regardless of who it effects, lapping up the power she is able to garner over others and loving every minute of it.
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** Aside from it being a situation of locking the barn door after the horse has bolted, Lizzie attempts to seduce Ryan and bring her over to his side despite the fact that he had already published his expose on her system of drugs and sexual favours in the school newspaper. Chances are this was more her desire to see if she could break Ryan as a personal achievement more than anything else.
** After Ryan refuses to give in to her seduction, she opts instead to tell Richard that her and Ryan had actually slept together in an attempt to try and scare the latter, despite the fact that Richard is now addicted to drugs such as LSD and has illustrated violent tendencies which would lead to no other conclusion than beating Ryan over the head with a rock.
* DisproportionateRetribution: For turning down her seduction, she chooses to enlist Richard into punishing Ryan for not taking up her sexual advances, though her intention was merely to scare him, not to put him in the hospital.
* EntitledBitch: When Ryan repeatedly turns down her attempted seduction, she loses her composure and reveals the truly entitled person she believes herself to be, that she is far too beautiful to be turned down by any boy.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite the fact that Lizzie has spread mayhem and chaos around the school, she acknowledges that no one has been 'really' hurt by what she's done, just humiliated and sometimes a bit physically ruffled. Once Ryan has been violently assaulted by Richard, though, she goes to his bedside at the hospital and appears to be genuinely apologetic for what had happened, saying it wasn't her intention to leave him in such a way.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: She is the complete opposite to Ryan. While Ryan illustrates restraint and quiet efficiency, as fuelled by his strong religious upbringing, Lizzie is someone who lives her life with reckless abandon and wishes to share that philosophy among those around her, unwilling to understand why Ryan would go out of his way to try and put a stop to her insane ideals.
* EvilFeelsGood: She's the queen manipulator of Port Royal, and as she says herself, it's all just a little bit of fun.



* HateSink: While she does show remorse for what happened to Ryan, there is very little to like about Lizzie. She's vulgar, compulsive, manipulative, a blatant liar, and one of the most licentious sluts you ever did see.



* {{Jerkass}}: Aside from being a prime manipulator of those around her, she demonstrates a healthy hatred for Jewish people, where she seems to take a deep, personal pleasure in destroying Janie's menorah.



* {{Sadist}}: She absolutely relishes seeing other people being humiliated and offended, knowing full well that it means she has a real power over those around her.
* SpoiledBrat[=/=]ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Like everyone else at Port Royal, except Ryan, she's clearly from a wealthy background, and therefore likely the reason why she has such a healthy demand to be the centre of attention and get her own way at every turn.
* StupidEvil: Somehow she thought it was a good idea to tell a boy she's been sleeping with that she's slept with another boy, and that he should go punish that boy for doing so regardless of the fact that he's off his face on LSD and has shown extremely violent tendencies in the past, what could possibly go wrong?



* TheVamp: Played with. While she is a notorious flirt and very manipulative, it's very clear that, in her heart, she's not an evil girl, hence why she comes to visit Ryan in the hospital to make things up to him. Fundamentally, though, she is a girl who is very much broken by her own lusts and desire to get one over on boys in the best way she knows how.

to:

* ToxicFriendInfluence: Is able to spread her influence to other kids across different grades, especially girls, who start to show levels of misandry and abuse towards their male classmates.
* TheUnfettered: If she wants something, nothing can hold her back.

how.
* VirtueIsWeakness: Lizzie has no time for the virtuous, especially when said virtues are coming from a place of religious origin such as Ryan's catholic teachings.

[[folder:Richard]]

A friend of Scott who initially is seen as just a tagalong and minor annoyance to his more imposing classmate, but turns very nasty when introduced to Lizzie Bishop.
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Part of his appeal to Lizzie is the fact that he's so absolutely willing to do whatever she wants of him despite the fact that it causes other people severe harm.
* AssholeVictim: Having caused nothing but trouble and beaten Ryan over the head, he's expelled after Lizzie turns him in for his actions.
* BerserkButton: Don't mess with whom he percieves to be 'his woman' - Ryan found this out to his cost.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Scott and later Lizzie. Initially, Richard would not often be seen outside the presence of Scott, but once the latter has been expelled and he's buddied up with Lizzie, he essentially becomes her main enforcer.
* CallousnessTowardsEmergency: Has no care for the fact that he just smacked Ryan over the head with a rock and left him near unconscious on the floor and bleeding out.
* EvilerThanThou: To Lizzie. While Lizzie is still the main manipulator of the school, Richard is the one who gets his hands dirty attacking, humiliating and generally causing harm to others and having no sympathy for anyone he inflicts pain on.
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Inverted. It's implied that, as a reward for sticking gum in Janie's hair, Lizzie repays him by having sex and smoking weed in Mr. Richard's station wagon, leaving something of a mess in their wake.
* HateSink: If it wasn't made obvious enough already, Richard is designed to be a completely loathsome piece of crap.
* HatesEveryoneEqually: Richard seems to have no prejudices against any group he's sent to harm individually, everyone is equally worthless in his eyes.
* {{Jerkass}}: Is there ever a time we see him when he's not doing something reprehensible or expressing the desire to hurt someone.
* LackOfEmpathy: He does as he's told and has no care for who he's hurting, be they students he has barely any knowledge of to those he knows a bit more personally.
* {{Sadist}}: Seems to enjoy working for Lizzie on her violent ideas of mayhem, as demonstrated when he sticks the gum in Janie's hair and yanks her around by it.
* TheSociopath: Richard has no care for anything or anyone, so long as he gets to sleep with Lizzie, that's all that matters.
* StupidEvil: He takes drugs, bullies students, and is led to believe that his pseudo girlfriend, Lizzie, has slept with Ryan, leading him to violently assault the latter as punishment. One would think after having known Ryan for years he wouldn't believe her so easily, and that beating him over the head with a rock wouldn't get him expelled - then again, he had been taking LSD.

Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguouslyGay: In Part 9, after smoking some weed in the bathroom of the hostel he and the baseball team are staying in, his fellow drug pusher, Leslie, says that Scott attempted to kiss him in the bathroom. This could, however, be due to him being off his face on drugs.


Added DiffLines:

** In Part 9, though, it is claimed that Scott had attempted to kiss his fellow baseball teammate, Leslie, while they were smoking weed together, something he denies fervently, leading to the possibility that Scott is secretly gay and using his vocal homophobia as a means of hiding the truth.

[[folder:Lizzie Bishop]]

A newly joined upperclassman who uses her brains and her beauty to concoct all manner of mischief, spreading disharmony among the school faculty and leading to a serious incident involving Ryan.
----
* TheAce: She wins over everyone by simply walking into the room, boys especially.
* AttentionWhore: It's very clear that Lizzie's almost fanatical desire for mischief stems from a very deep-rooted want for attention. She always has to be the talking point of everyone present, and the ways in which she does this are often incredibly lewd, be it flashing her underwear, wearing her uniform loose, or talking about banal and sexual things in front of her friends.
* TheBully: While she leaves the bullying part up to her friends and 'minions', the fact that she gives them their marching orders qualifies her for this trope.
* TheGadfly: Lizzie takes great pleasure in setting people against one another by way of her beauty and seductive nature.
* HaveAGayOldTime: While it's clear she has sexual partners throughout the volumes she appears in, mostly repayments, most boys opt to steer clear of her because they know she's nothing but trouble, especially with aggressive types like Scott and Richard living under the delusion that she loves them.
* HomophobicHateCrime: When trying to seduce Ryan in the hallway, when it's clear that simply tempting him to do what she says won't work, she threatens to use his denial of her as a tacit admission that Ryan might be gay and thus lead to him being bullied by the other students. Ryan ignores this threat.
* LadyInRed: In the scene where she tries to seduce Ryan, she's wearing red lingerie.
* PetTheDog: Compared to other boys she knows or interacts with, she seems to take a genuine liking to Ryan for his own intelligence and restraint, even though she works as hard as she can to try and break down his moral barriers.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Lizzie, on top of her many undesirable traits, also has a healthy hatred of Jewish people, as expressed by her lathering Janie with various anti-Semitic slurs upon their first encounter.
* TheRival: While Scott is the most direct rival to Ryan, Lizzie chooses to persecute Janie and Fiona, leading to a slew of unpleasant encounters.
* TooDumbToLive: As pointed out by Ryan at the end of Part 9, she likes to think she knows boys intimately and thus has control over them, when in reality she is only able to make them obedient by lacing them with drugs and filling their minds with the promise of sex. This mindset makes the boys very, very unpredictable, as Ryan found out to his cost when Lizzie set Richard upon him.
* TheVamp: Played with. While she is a notorious flirt and very manipulative, it's very clear that, in her heart, she's not an evil girl, hence why she comes to visit Ryan in the hospital to make things up to him. Fundamentally, though, she is a girl who is very much broken by her own lusts and desire to get one over on boys in the best way she knows how.

!!Students

[[folder:Scott [=MacCready=]]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scott_snide.png]]

A student at the Port Royal High School who takes an immediate dislike to Ryan due to his nervous disposition and lack of sporting prowess.
----
* TheAce: Scott is athletic and strong, but these don't compare to the size of his ego.
* BigManOnCampus: Scott is considered to be 'leader' of the boys due to his outspoken personality and sporting prowess.
* BrutalHonesty: Scott tells it as it is, no sugarcoating.
* TheBrute: Scott seems to take great pleasure in abusing and insulting others.
* TheBully: Due to Ryan's less than acceptable physical stamina, Scott makes fun of the fact that he seems weak.
** He is also shown to pick on any of the other boys who he deems stupid or beneath him, such as Lars.
* BullyingADragon: When Ryan steps up to the plate on his first baseball game, Scott dismisses him as a 'faggot' and enjoys watching him fail to hit the first ball, not realizing that Ryan was hiding a superb swing that[[spoiler: scores the winning home run for the girl's team]].
* CantTakeCriticism: Scott refuses to allow Ryan's victory in baseball, despite the fact that he was the one who forced him onto the girl's team by refusing him a place on the boy's team.
** Touched on in Part 6 when, after he complains about being taught German in class, for which he claims that his grandfather "Didn't drag himself up Omaha Beach just so he could be taught Nazi", Janie retorts by describing her family's far more personal victimization at the hands of the Germans during World War II, and that she doesn't hold it against them anymore. Clearly with no logical comeback of his own, he chooses instead to just call her "a damn Jew" and tries to slap Ryan.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Faggots!"
* DeadpanSnarker: He has no shortage of snide remarks for those who displease him.
--> Scott: (To Lars) You don't think, period!
* DehumanizingInsult: Constantly calls Ryan a 'faggot' even though the two boys barely know each other.
* DisruptingTheTheater: While the kids are watching a movie, Scott disrupts the merriment of the evening by making snide remarks to Ryan and Lars.
* DudeNotFunny!: Scott does this in Part 4 when he continues to make snide remarks and jibes at Ryan and Lars, despite the protests of those around him.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His literal first words in the series are calling Ryan a 'faggot'.
* TheGadfly: Scott appears to take great pleasure in antagonizing those around him.
* HatedByAll: While Scott appears to have some friends, the general consensus among those around him is that he's an arrogant, self-centered and bigoted young man who people only admire for his sporting prowess.
* HateSink: Scott, with the exception of his sporting abilities, isn't held in much esteem by those around him due to his arrogance.
** After mocking Ryan for consoling Lars after Scott made fun of him, Janie tells him to drop dead.
* HomophobicHateCrime: Scott, based on his insults, is clearly no advocate of the gay community.
** Brought up again in Part 4, when Scott calls Ryan and Lars homophobic names, and asking which one of them "takes it from behind".
* {{Jerkass}}: Scott.
* JerkassToOne: While he is cynical and snide to those around him, he seems to have a particular disdain for Ryan.
* JerkJock: Scott is both very sporty, but has a disdain for anyone who doesn't meet his high standards.
* KidsAreCruel: Scott seems to enjoy making Ryan sad, frequently calling him a 'faggot'.
* KickTheDog: Even after his team has lost the baseball game to Ryan and the other girls, Scott continues to call Ryan a 'faggot' just to upset him.
** Again after Ryan consoles Lars for Scott's insults, Scott continues to call the pair names and makes vulgar accusations.
* LackOfEmpathy: A major part of Scott's character, he doesn't like anyone who displeases him and he cares little for anyone's feelings.
* TheLeader: He appears to have a certain degree of leadership over the other 6th Grade boys, being in charge of their baseball team.
* LonersAreFreaks: His apparent impression of Ryan, seeing as Scott is someone who revels in attention while Ryan prefers solitude.
* MilitaryBrat: It's stated by Janie that his dad is a Major in the US Army Rangers, which she and Ryan believe might be the reason behind his arrogant nature.
** His military history is touched upon when he mentions his grandfather took part in the storming of Omaha Beach on D-Day.
* TheNapoleon: Scott's immediate dislike of Ryan may be due to the fact that Ryan is much taller than him.
* NeverMyFault: When trying to get Ryan out after hitting his superb high ball, Scott throws the ball to a kid that isn't tall enough to catch it, to which he, of course, puts the blame on the other kid for missing.
* TheNicknamer: So far, he hasn't addressed Ryan as anything other than 'faggot'.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Scott likes to call Ryan a 'faggot' repeatedly, even though they don't really know each other.
* {{Pride}}: His defining flaw.
* TheRival: To Ryan; established almost immediately.
* SirSwearsALot: Not so much swearing as much as calling everyone who displeases him a 'faggot'.
* SmallNameBigEgo: His name has one syllable, but his ego is beyond description.
* SmugSuper: He's proud to be cool and often acts arrogant and boastful.
* StopHavingFunGuys: Attempts this after Ryan[[spoiler: scores the winning home run by dismissing his victory]], and then calling him a 'faggot'.
* TrashTalk: Likes to do it about Ryan.

[[folder:Lars Holbrook]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lars_posing.png]]

Another student at Port Royal High School who, like Ryan, is something of an outcast due to his clumsiness, but gradually finds a friend in Ryan.
----

* AscendedExtra: Lars is initially introduced in Part 2, where he is firstly threatened by an upperclassman, and then accidentally knocks over Ryan during an experiment. From Part 4, though, his role is expanded as he and Ryan form a budding friendship.
** [[spoiler: Part 6 takes this further as he becomes Ryan's roommate after Janie moves out.]]
* CantTakeCriticism: Lars reacts poorly to a snide remark made by Scott during their movie night, but Ryan convinces him to stay before he can walk out in disgust.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Lars is implied to be a little bit more naïve than his fellow classmates, hence why he showed up to their movie night in just his underwear, thinking that there'd be no problems with that.
* TheDitz: Lars is demonstrated to be a mite clumsy at times, including when he accidentally knocked another student into Ryan, causing him to knock over an experiment that nearly burnt down the science lab.
** In Part 6, Lars acknowledges that he is very clumsy, but Ryan doesn't seem to mind.
* ExtremeDoormat: From his appearances in Part 2 and 4, Lars is prone to being on the receiving end of other people's criticism, but does little to defend himself.
** Based on his words in Part 6, Lars' clumsiness often leads to abuse from his fellow classmates.
* NaiveNewcomer: All the kids in Ryan's grade are new to the school, but Lars appears to have more trouble settling in with the others due to his perceived clumsiness.
* TheNapoleon: Lars is a very small boy, much smaller than his classmates, therefore it's conceivable that his ability to be quickly hurt by other people's statements and threats is due to his diminutive size.
* TinySchoolboy: Compared to his fellow classmates, Lars is a very small kid, with Ryan being at least a foot taller than him.

[[folder:Fiona ‘Fee-Fee’ [=McEntire=]]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fee_fee_smug_face.png]]

Janie’s new roommate after she moves out of Ryan’s dorm at Port Royal, Fiona adds Southern flare to the classroom with her thick accent and love of her Texan heritage. At the same time, she rapidly establishes a friendly competitive spirit between herself and her roomie, and the two girls try to outdo one another wherever and whenever possible.
----

* AffectionateNickname: Almost everyone refers to her as Fee Fee.
* BeautifulSingingVoice: Demonstrated somewhat early on when she taunts Janie for her possible crush on Ryan, singing an excert from Robert Goulet's "My Love, Forgive Me (Amore, scusami)".
* BrutalHonesty: Fiona is the kind of girl who doesn't sugarcoat things, and will give her honest opinion regardless of who she's with or what the situation is.
* CountryMouse: Being from El Paso, Texas, her move from the deserts of the south to the bustling northeast is something of a change from her usual way of life.
* GoodOlBoy: A sympathetic gender swap. Though she often tries to eschew any stereotypes regarding her Texan origins, she still holds many of her cowgirl traits and heritage close to her heart.
* HiddenDepths: Fiona describes to Lars that she enjoys a good game of tennis with her mom after church.
* NamesTheSame: As a deliberate choice, described in detail on the comic's official website, Fiona's surname is actually based on country singer and actress Music/RebaMcEntire.
* NiceGirl: Like Janie, Fiona is accommodating, kind and friendly, doing what she can to help her roommate during her depression.
* NiceHat: For travelling, she wears her Texan cowgirl hat, but doesn't appear to wear it while at school itself - she does, however, park it on Ryan's head as a joke.
* NotSoDifferent: As she points out many a time during Part 4, there are very few things she does as a Texan which are different to those of her northeastern friends.
* TheRival: A friendly one, Janie and Fiona quickly establish something of a competitiveness between themselves, and therefore have to outdo one another wherever and whenever possible.
* StraightMan: Compared to those around her, Fiona is generally one of the more sensible, level-headed members of her circle of friends alongside Ryan.
* {{Tomboy}}: Illustrates many of these traits, although it could be argued she's a touch more girly than Janie.
* TomboyishPonytail: Fiona frequently has her hair pulled up on one side in a ponytail, usually hanging over her left shoulder.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Janie as an athletic rival.
* YouthfulFreckles: She has a prominent face-covering of freckles.
