9
10	Kristen's hard-living mother.
11	----
12	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Leland isn't so much a "bad boy" as he is a genuinely evil human being, but Sheryl still finds herself attracted to him when he displays casual cruelty and explains his anti-moral philosophy.
13	* AmbiguouslyEvil: If it were just a matter of dating Leland Townsend it could be written off as being a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter, but she's gone as far as to advise Lexis to hit another girl in the face with a brick, then lie about it. Her behavior becomes increasingly sinister, as she helps out Leland against Kristen and shows a downright unhinged side when Leland breaks up with her, painting his office wall with blood that's implied to be ''hers''. Later she starts trying to manipulate Dr. Boggs. She later drops the ambiguous part when she is...
14	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Leland paralyzes her with a drug and infuses and unknown substance into her blood. Whatever it is, it causes drops any pretense of having morals at all, and she both willingly becomes the HoneyPot to Leland's SerialKiller ''and'' joins the demonic houses.
15	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:She still cares about her family after her turn to villainy and later [[FreudianThreat threatens Leland with castration]] should he hurts her granddaughters.]]
16	* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:In Season 2, she becomes Leland's ally, although she insists their bizarre semi-friendship is "transactional". It's implied this is at least partially due to Leland brainwashing her.]]
17	* HellBentForLeather: More often than not, she wears a leather jacket and leather pants, accented with loud animal print tops. Did she used to be a metal groupie?
18	* ManipulativeBitch: Sheryl's an excellent liar and thinks nothing of using her own family as pawns for her own ends.
19	* ObnoxiousInLaws: She antagonizes Andy at every turn although it's mostly because [[JerkassHasAPoint his frequent trips leave Kristen on her own to take care of their daughters]].
20	* SilverFox: She's attractive enough [[spoiler:to [[HoneyTrap lure men she dates to be killed by Leland]].]]
21	* TookALevelInJerkass: She becomes gradually but increasingly sinister and morally ambiguous.
22	* WomanScorned: Sheryl does ''not'' let go of grudges, and even seems to take genuine pleasure in waging vindictive campaigns against others.

25	[[folder:Andy]]
26	!!Andrew "Andy" Bouchard
27	->'''Portrayed By:''' Patrick Brammall
28
29	Kristen's husband. Like her, he's an experienced mountain climber. Unlike her he spends relatively little time onscreen.
30	----
31	* AndIMustScream: In Season 3 he's lured away on false pretenses by Leland's friend Edward. Soon [[spoiler: Leland and Sheryl are keeping him in a cell, mute and paralyzed.]]
32	* CommutingOnABus: Since he runs the family business in the Himalayas, he only makes sporadic appearances.
33	* HeroOfAnotherStory: He lives for most of the year in the Himalayas and guides other people through the mountains.
34	* JerkassToOne: Andy is a nice dude but he shares mutual animosity with [[ObnoxiousInLaws Sheryl]].
35	* NiceGuy: Andy is a goofy, caring father and loving husband.

62
63	Kristen and Andy's third daughter.
64	----

68	[[folder:Laura]]
69	!!Laura Bouchard

74	----
75	* DelicateAndSickly: She was born with a heart condition that the Bouchards were told could take her at any time. A serious illness happens near the end of the first season. Surgery and possibly a deal made by the Buddhist-curious Andy seem to stabilize her.

84
85	David's father, a successful artist.
86	----
87	* BourgeoisBohemian: He's made quite a lot of money, and his spread in Upstate New York allows him to duck any social rules he doesn't feel like accommodating.
88	* {{Polyamory}}: He seems to think he's effectively got two wives, although really it's more like a wife who has an open-minded girlfriend.
89	[[/folder]]
90
91	!Ben's Family
92
93	[[folder: Karima]]
94	!!Karima Shakir
95	->'''Portrayed By:''' Sohina Sidhu
96
97	Ben's sister.
98	----
99	* BollywoodNerd: She's probably even more of a computer whiz than her brother, as that's how she makes her living. In any case he's been shown consulting her a couple of times.

103
104	[[folder:Dr. Boggs]]
105	!!Dr. Kurt Boggs
106	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/KurtFuller
107	[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/evil_kurt_boggs.jpg]]
108
109	Kristen's therapist and a sometime outside consultant to the trio.
110	----
111	* AgentScully: As a scientist he doesn't believe in possessions or that demons can be exorcised. He does, however, grant the possibility that some exorcism subjects could derive a psychological benefit from believing they'd been freed.
112	* AmbiguouslyJewish: He's played by a Jewish actor, and his beard does create a visual tie with pioneering analyst UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud, who was also Jewish. That said, his interests seem a little more [[UsefulNotes/CarlJung Jungian]].
113	* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:It's impressive when he marches into David's hospital room and saves the day by being an outraged professional.]]
114	* GoodIsNotDumb: He deduces Sheryl's deception almost immediately from the clues, and he doesn't suffer bullshit from his patients.
115	* HonoraryTrueCompanion: He's always happy to go out of the way to help the team with difficult cases, but doesn't join full-time because he has a psychiatric practice and many patient to care for.
116	* NiceGuy: Boggs is a caring, considerate and non-judgmental professional who's pretty much always there for his patients. He doesn't get mad when Kristen interrupts one of his other sessions and accuses him of leaking her notes (in reality Leland stole them) and he later testifies to help David in "Exorcism Part 2."
117	* SecretKeeper: Kristen confesses her murder of [=LeRoux=] to him, and he agrees to keep her secret because he very strongly adheres to doctor/patient confidentiality and he is only legally required to inform the police if she tells him she is ''planning'' a future crime. That being said, he's horrified by the revelation.
118	* TheShrink: Specifically a shrink's shrink. Kristen is familiar with the lingo and concepts of psychiatry even if she doesn't work as a therapist herself.
119	[[/folder]]
120
121	[[folder:D.A. Cormier]]
122	!!D.A. Lewis Cormier

124
125	New York prosecutor and Kristen's employer at the start of the series.
126	----
127	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Leland replaces Kristen as consulting forensic psychologist under Cormier's watch and sets about intentionally going for unjust results. This doesn't seem to trigger any alarms for Cormier.
128	[[/folder]]
129
130	[[folder:[=LeRoux=]]]
131	!!Orson [=LeRoux=]
132	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/DarrenPettie
133
134	Successful professional who starts committing murders in midlife.
135	----
136	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:It's hard to get sad about him being killed by Kristen, considering that not only is he a remorseless SerialKiller, but he's smug and unpleasant on a personal level.]]
137	* FauxAffablyEvil: He tries to affect an air of politeness, but really he's just a smarmy, overconfident asshole. It's especially grating with his fake contrition when he's released from prison.
138	* MiscarriageOfJustice: Both causes one and fakes one in "Justice x 2" when he [[spoiler: gets sprung from prison by claiming Kristen set him up for the murders he was caught for. Another killer willingly serves as FallGuy.]]
139	* ObfuscatingInsanity: Under Leland's coaching he fakes demonic possession, which will be read as dissociative disorder in the modern legal system.
140	* SerialKiller: Breaks in and kills families.
141	* SmugSnake: He can barely contain his glee when reliving his murders, even as he [[BlatantLies claims point blank]] that he is innocent.
142	[[/folder]]
143
144	[[folder: Sebastian]]
145	!!Sebastian Lewin
146	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/NoahRobbins
147	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sebastian_lewin.jpg]]
148
149	An IT consultant the trio encounter in an early case, later recruited by Leland into a misogynistic cult.
150	----
151	* HeManWomanHater: Doesn't seem to be one at first, but exposure to Leland's teachings and the "Incel Army" brings out an increasingly anti-woman animus in him.
152	* IdiotSavant: Good with computers, questionable with other stuff. He not only has no moral problems with carrying out a mass shooting, but also believes it will make his life better, which any cursory study of past mass murderers would disprove.
153	* RecklessGunUsage: Carelessly poses with multiple guns in front of the mirror [[spoiler: thus blowing his own head off before he can hurt anyone else]].
154	* StereotypicalNerd: Technically brilliant, unable to talk to women, coke bottle glasses. The whole package.
155	* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Winds up blowing his own head off through his incompetent handling of guns before he can hurt anyone else.]]
156	[[/folder]]
157
158	[[folder:[=Rose390=]]]
159	!![=Rose390=]/Richard Ghana
160	->'''Portrayed By:''' Nora Murphy (as [=Rose390=])/uncredited actor (as Richard Ghana)
161
162	Another young player that Kristen's daughters meet while playing a VR game bought for them by Sheryl. In reality she's the projection of a psychopathic coder named Richard Ghana.
163	----
164	* CreepyChild: She's an unsettling little girl right out of your average summer-release horror.
165	* CreepyMonotone: She doesn't speak with much inflection.
166	* DigitalAvatar: Ben guesses that she's "a pedophile with a voice modifier." If that's not the exact truth, he's not far off, either.
167	* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She has a high contrast appearance with lank black hair and alabaster skin.
168	* PsychoSerum: Ghana's ex-roommate reports that he's become addicted to flakka, a real life synthetic stimulant that can causes both bursts of extreme strength and paranoid delusions.
169	[[/folder]]

171	[[folder:Grace]]
172	!!Grace Ling
173	->'''Portrayed By:''' Li Jun Li
174	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grace_ling.jpg]]
175
176	A childcare provider who claims to have prophetic visions.
177	----
178	* SpiritAdvisor: She appears to David in the hospital after being deported back to China. Whether this is a dream or an actual spirit is left ambiguous. For that matter, she may well still be alive.
179	[[/folder]]

181	[[folder:Byrd]]
182	!!Detective Mira Byrd
183	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/KristenConnolly

185
186	A detective in the NYPD homicide decision and friend of Kristen's.
187	----
188	* DirtyCop: [[spoiler:While she isn't shown to be explicitly corrupt for her own gain, she ''does'' abuse her authority to let Kristen off the hook.]]
189	* {{Expy}}: Blonde with a bird-themed surname and a job investigating murders, a la [[Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Clarice Starling]].
190	* FriendOnTheForce: Downplayed; she's sometimes at odds with Kristen in a professional setting, but while this does strain their friendship slightly, they continue to like and respect each other.
191	* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: [[spoiler:To Kristen, after she murders Orson [=LeRoux=]. However, she's only doing the basics of her job since there isn't much interest in actually solving the case, and when she finds out Kristen is the killer, she chooses to let her go pretty much because they're friends.]]
192	[[/folder]]
193
194	[[folder:Renée]]
195	!!Renée Harris
196	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/ReneeEliseGoldsberry

200	* DeadpanSnarker: As seen when she has fun with the plaintiff's attorney being named "Lemonhead".
201	* HelloAttorney: [[spoiler:She's a high-powered attorney who's attractive enough to get David to break his chastity vows.]]
