* MoralEventHorizon: Subverted by Haruhi herself in ''Sigh'' when she spikes Mikuru's drink and leaves her open to possible rape. When she has Itsuki try to kiss her on camera, Kyon ''snaps'' and comes ''DANGEROUSLY'' close to assaulting her--and would've done so had Itsuki not restrained him. This close brush with Kyon's fist is supposedly what leads Haruhi to [[HeelRealization transition]] from {{Jerkass}} to JerkWithAHeartOfGold and become more sympathetic as the chronology goes on.

** Haruhi: At heart probably ChaoticGood, as she simply awkwardly wants to find a way to enjoy life, and that everybody should try to break the mundane monotony and try to enjoy themselves too, taking an active role in organising events; but in practice in-between this and ChaoticNeutral. She is very obtuse and self-centered PokeThePoodle type of obnoxious, and is willing to do strange things if it may yield interesting results, but is almost completely harmless/is within the comparatively "normal" range compared to most other media protagonists out there, and her more questionable acts are driven by not noticing, not any ill will towards anybody. However, of late she has begun to notice how she affects people around her, and will hopefully stop her KickTheDog moments towards poor kindhearted Mikuru.
** Kyon: NeutralGood. As much as he may try to keep to himself and obey society's expectations, he'll subvert the hell out of the rules if he has to for the greater good.
** Yuki: LawfulNeutral. Her ''raison d'etre'' is to obey orders without regard to the consequences (viz. Endless Eight). As she develops more of a personality later, she leans toward NeutralGood.
** Mikuru: LawfulGood. The only thing her dislike of trouble and her obedience to her superiors ever conflicts with is the possibility of someone she cares about being hurt. She frequently places herself in the role of a sacrifice for the good of others.
** Itsuki: About as close to TrueNeutral as you can get; his actions depend vastly on the situation.
