| 21 | [[caption-width-right:350:''"I'm Fiona Goode. [[BadassBoast I'm in charge everywhere.]]"'']] |
| 22 | ->'''Played By:''' Creator/JessicaLange & Creator/RileyVoelkel |
| 23 | |
| 24 | ->''"You girls need to learn to fight. When witches don't fight, we burn."'' |
| 25 | |
| 26 | As Supreme Witch of the Salem descendants, the glamorous Fiona Goode lives a life of style and luxury, traveling the world and hobnobbing with celebrities. Now, she returns home to Miss Robichaux's Academy in New Orleans with plans to rule her coven again and maybe repair her estranged relationship with her daughter Cordelia. |
| 27 | ---- |
| 28 | * AbusiveParents: She's physically abusive and neglectful toward Cordelia. |
| 29 | * AmnesiaLoop: [[spoiler: Heavily implied to be trapped in one, as the Axe-man implies that she's been in Hell for a long time by the time we see her, but that she loses her memory every morning and doesn't remember any of their previous encounters, forcing her to relive the same misery of realizing she's in Hell and trapped with the Axe-man for eternity]]. |
| 30 | * ArbitrarySkepticism: When the Axeman tells her his story, she says she does not believe in ghosts. Which given everything else she has seen, well... Though there is a strong possibility she is just saying that to mock him, or because she doesn't believe his story specifically. |
| 31 | * TheArchmage: The Supreme of the current generation, [[spoiler:and was willing to [[KlingonPromotion kill the Supreme of the previous generation and anyone she thought was the Supreme of the next generation]]]]. |
| 32 | * BadBoss: [[ItsAllAboutMe Self-involved]] and [[ManipulativeBitch utterly deceitful]], she is a terrible leader. [[spoiler:She eventually plans to murder everyone in the coven, [[OffingTheOffspring including her daughter]], so she can continue being the Supreme. And it's implied she'd do the same thing to the next generation of witches.]] |
| 33 | * BaitTheDog: Fiona appeared to be someone who is a major {{Jerkass}} but at least somewhat cared. [[spoiler:It isn't until "The Replacements" when you could see the real Fiona and how ruthless she can be in order to preserve herself.]] |
| 34 | * BigBad: Of the season. [[spoiler:Though Marie was originally built up to take the role of BigBad, it is the actions of Fiona that are ultimately the most damaging to the coven. Reaches its apex when she plots to murder ever single one of the witches in order to retain her vitality and position as Supreme.]] |
| 35 | * BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler:Forms an alliance with Marie Laveau.]] |
| 36 | * BullyingADragon: Decides to [[spoiler:double-cross and break the heart of a psychopathic ax-murderer. End well, end well it did, but then {{Hell}} happened.]] |
| 37 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Her real death is when she dies in Cordelia's arms after her life force is taken by her daughter becoming Supreme.]] |
| 38 | * DeadpanSnarker: This being a Creator/JessicaLange role, she tends to get some of the better lines. |
| 39 | * DrivenToSuicide: Attempted. [[spoiler:Spalding's ghost talks her out of it.]] |
| 40 | * DramaticallyMissingThePoint / DudeWheresMyRespect: Absolutely demands respect and appreciation as the Supreme, ignoring the fact that she regularly belittles, abuses, betrays, and [[spoiler:plots to murder]] the witches in her coven. |
| 41 | * EnemyMine: Joins forces with Marie, whose kind she had been trying to start a war with, when the witch hunters prove to be an even bigger threat to her and her coven. |
| 42 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Even she's appalled by the things [=LaLaurie=] did. In "Head," as much of a bitch she can be, she's in awe by witnessing [[spoiler:[=LaLaurie=]'s beheaded (but live and kicking) corpse by the hands of Laveau.]] |
| 43 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She actually cares deeply for Cordelia, although in a rather twisted way. |
| 44 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Came back to say goodbye to Cordelia before she [[DiedInYourArmsTonight died]].]] |
| 45 | * FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:She implanted fake memories of her death into the Axe-Man so that Cordelia would use her second sight to confirm her death, and with the identity of the next Superior still unknown, make all the remaining candidates perform the Seven Wonders so she could have one last chance at offing them.]] |
| 46 | * FantasticRacism: Zig-zagged. She's very openly bigoted towards Voodoo practitioners--to the point of plotting to end the already strained truce between them and the Salem descendants-- and at one point, she insists that even the weakest witches are better than the best normal humans. However, she's disgusted by [=LaLaurie's=] ignorance and has explicitly stated that [[{{Hypocrite}} there's nothing she hates more than a racist.]] |
| 47 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Spending eternity with the Axe-Man in {{Hell}}. ...And even worse than that, she has to spend eternity with the Axe-Man in Hell in an [[HorribleHousing really ugly house]].]] |
| 48 | ---> '''Fiona:''' What is this... [[HowlofSorrow KNOTTY PINE!]] |
| 49 | * {{Frameup}}: [[spoiler:Used Queenie's ability to transfer pain and injuries to other people to frame Myrtle by giving her acid burns on her hand.]] |
| 50 | * GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Even by her own admission, she was a horrible Supreme. |
| 51 | * HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Part of the other witches' plot to kill and replace her is to have her confront the people she killed and achieve this. It works, although she doesn't end up killing herself.]] |
| 52 | * HotWitch: MILF version |
| 53 | * ImmortalitySeeker: Wants immortality and youth. |
| 54 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She ''loathes'' Voodoo practitioners (who are all shown to be of African descent) even moreso than the average Salem witch and is plotting to start a war with them, yet she forces Delphine to be the school's maid and Queenie's personal slave because as Fiona puts it, there's nothing she hates more than a racist. Driving the point further is that Fiona has an almost equally low view of normal humans and Delphine is one, albeit one cursed with immortality. |
| 55 | * IronicHell: All powerful, fashionable, and a man-eater who was used to living in the lap of luxury. [[spoiler: After she dies, she's sent to hell where she's forced to live in a tacky rundown home while trapped in a loveless relationship with none of her powers.]] |
| 56 | * IronicName: Her last name is ''[[NamesToTrustImmediately Goode]]''; she's anything but. However, she fully lives up to the ''Borgia'' part of her name. |
| 57 | ** Her surname is most likely an allusion to her being a descendant of Sarah Goode, one of the accused during the Salem trials. |
| 58 | %%* ItsAllAboutMe |
| 59 | * {{Jerkass}}: She's rude, arrogant, and seems to care only about herself. |
| 60 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:The Axe-Man hacked her to death and fed her to gators, guaranteeing she won't be coming back.]] |
| 61 | ** [[spoiler: This turned out to be an illusion she planted in the Axe-Man's memory and she was still alive, at least until she finally succumbed to her life force being drained and absorbed by Cordelia. She's then sent to hell by Papa Legba, ensuring she won't be coming back to life any time soon.]] |
| 62 | * KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:Starts an anecdote about a calico cat just before being axed in the back.]] |
| 63 | * KlingonPromotion: She killed the last Supreme to become the current one. [[spoiler:She later killed Madison to remain in her position, thinking that she was her successor.]] |
| 64 | * LadyOfBlackMagic: A charismatic witch who always exudes an air of glamour and grace. She's also the current [[TheArchmage Supreme]] and a master of the Seven Wonders. |
| 65 | * ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:Fiona is doing practically everything she can to make war break out between the witches and the Voodoo practitioners, including trying to make Bastien's attack look unprovoked rather than an attempt at Delphine. Even before she officially became the current Supreme, she tried to pin her murder of the last on Marie]]. |
| 66 | * {{Narcissist}}: Fiona loves herself more than anyone else. |
| 67 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her callous disrespect of Marie is the main reason why Marie [[spoiler:refuses to use her voodoo to help Cordelia get around her infertility]]. |
| 68 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Not only does she share many characteristics with UsefulNotes/HillaryClinton, she is directly compared to her at one point. (Could also be considered a TakeThat.) |
| 69 | * OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler:Despite regretting what a horrible mother she was, she would still willingly murder Cordelia if she had to.]] |
| 70 | * PetTheDog: |
| 71 | ** While wandering through the hospital after [[spoiler:Cordelia's blinding]], she comes across a grieving mother whose baby was stillborn and brings it back to life. |
| 72 | ** She shows genuine kindness to [[spoiler:Marie]] after [[spoiler:Hank kills all of Marie's allies. Even though it would be very easy (not to mention very in-character) to take Marie out while she's at her lowest point, she doesn't even consider it. It's enough to bring Marie to tears.]] |
| 73 | ** She also restores [[spoiler:Kyle's mental state]] after Zoe and Madison's shoddy resurrection, although she had pragmatic reasons for that one. |
| 74 | * ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:She doesn't like Cordelia's husband Hank. We learn of this right after we find out that he's both cheating on Cordelia ''and'' murdering his mistresses. Not only are they his mistresses, but they are actually witches. AND he's been working for Marie the entire time.]] |
| 75 | * ShesBack: For whatever reasons, she had been away for many years before returning back home. |
| 76 | %%* SilverVixen: She is, after all, played by Creator/JessicaLange. |
| 77 | * TheSociopath: She only cares for herself, and will murder friends and family to stay alive. |
| 78 | * TheSoulless: [[spoiler:When she tries selling her soul for immortality, Papa Legba tells her she doesn't have one to sell. As we later see her in Hell, this obviously wasn't literal, but her soul was too empty to be any good to him, since no matter what atrocity he'd make her commit, she'd barely feel any remorse or sadness from them, which is what he lives off of]]. |
| 79 | * StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: One moment, she's on the verge of death and can barely rattle a door. Next moment, she's murdering powerful witches effortlessly and bringing down [[spoiler:an entire corporation]] with her curses. Exactly how drained of her power she is is...inconsistent, to say the least. |
| 80 | ** During the aforementioned [[spoiler:bringing down of the company]], she collapses and [[spoiler:Marie]] has to take care of her, so it shows that she at least had some trouble with it. |
| 81 | * SuperpowerLottery: Given she is the Supreme of the current generation, she possesses a quite wide array of powers, namely the Seven Wonders. |
| 82 | ** MindOverMatter: Telekinesis. She tends to use this to great effect, pinning people to walls or tossing them away. |
| 83 | ** PlayingWithFire: Pyrokinesis. Uses it to set fire to Laveau's shop. |
| 84 | ** MindManipulation: Concilium. Can mentally manipulate people into doing things or forgetting. Stronger individuals can resist, but she'll turn their minds into mush for the effort. |
| 85 | ** {{Teleportation}}: Called "Transmutation". Doesn't use it a lot, but a noticeable use was when she transmuted in front of Anna Leigh to slash her throat. |
| 86 | ** {{Seers}}: Divination. The ability to derive knowledge about something or someone outside of the use of the physical senses. |
| 87 | ** ToHellAndBack: Descensum. The ability to descend into one's personal hell and return. |
| 88 | ** HealingHands / LifeDrinker: Vitalum Vitalis. The balancing of the scales of life and death. Fiona brings a stillborn baby back to life and pulls Queenie from the brink of death. She also drains a doctor of his life force, momentarily restoring her youth. |
| 89 | * VainSorceress: She's all about trying to get her youth back. |
| 90 | %%* VillainProtagonist |
| 91 | * WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:She kills teenagers Madison and Nan, and she is more than willing to sacrifice children or loved ones to Papa Legba in exchange for immortality. Though, he calls off that deal.]] |

| 100 | |
| 101 | The idealistic headmistress of Miss Robichaux's Academy, Cordelia Foxx is fiercely protective of the girls entrusted to her care. In the face of her larger-than-life mother Fiona, she struggles to maintain order amid the dark forces of chaos gathering within the school. |
| 102 | ---- |
| 103 | * AlchemyIsMagic: Is good with potions and herbs. |
| 104 | * BigGood: It takes some time to become Supreme, but she becomes this by the end of ''Coven'' and well into ''Apocalypse''. |
| 105 | * BlindSeer: [[spoiler:After going blind, she sees things from being in contact with others and ghosts. She loses this power after Myrtle restores her sight, and regains it after she put her replacement eyes out with gardening shears.]] |
| 106 | * BrokenMasquerade: [[spoiler:She went on television and revealed the Coven.]] |
| 107 | * ButtMonkey: This poor woman can't get a break. Since the series began, she's been humiliated time and again, be it by her mother doing whatever she wants, and her repeated failures to have children. Later, we find out [[spoiler:her husband is not only cheating on her, but kills the woman (a witch) he's sleeping with, and that he's TheMole for the witch hunter cooperation]], and later, she gets a jar of acid thrown right in her eyes. It's also explained that her mother has been putting her down for years growing up, which lead to her low sense of self-worth and [[spoiler:stifling her powers]]. |
| 108 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Stabs herself in the chest so Mallory would become she Supreme, her stab wound would heal, and she could kill Michael. Undone by Mallory.]] |
| 109 | * TheChosenOne: [[spoiler:She's the next Supreme. [[TomatoInTheMirror And it comes a huge shock to her]].]] |
| 110 | * DisabilitySuperpower: Going blind after taking some sulfuric acid to the face seems to have given her a degree of empathy. Myrtle would restore Cordelia's sight and she loses her second sight powers as a result. However, Cordelia blinds herself in "Protect the Coven" to get them back. |
| 111 | * TheDogBitesBack: After having suffered through enough crap for a lifetime over six episodes, upon learning that [[spoiler:Fiona killed Madison, Cordelia immediately decides she is fed up and enlists Zoe to help kill Fiona]]. |
| 112 | * EyeScream: Gets a jar of acid thrown in her face at the end of "Fearful Pranks Ensue." After having her sight restored sometime later, she willingly blinds herself with gardening shears to regain her DisabilitySuperpower. |
| 113 | * {{Fainting}}: [[spoiler: Upon seeing Madison and Queenie returned from the dead in ''Apocalypse''.]] |
| 114 | * TheGenericGirl: Or at least, according to her mother. Of course, when she [[spoiler:gains and then loses her second sight]], her mother still treats the way she was before, believing her to be nothing. |
| 115 | * TheGoodQueen: In contrast to her mother, [[spoiler:in the season finale, she shows every sign of becoming one of, and possibly the, best Supreme the coven has ever had.]] |
| 116 | * HeroicSacrifice: What [[spoiler: her stabbing out her replacement eyes to regain her second sight]] is viewed as. |
| 117 | ** She does this again in [[spoiler: ''Apocalypse'' where she gives up her title as Supreme to Michael Langdon and the warlocks after he brought Misty back from hell. Though it may be temporary as she has strong suspicions regarding Langdon's abilities]]. |
| 118 | ** [[RuleOfThree Happens a third time]] during [[spoiler: the ''Apocalypse'' finale. She stabs herself in the heart in her order to heal a badly wounded Mallory, thus giving her sufficient power to complete the time travel spell. (Mallory was meant to be the Supreme after Cordelia but she would be fully powered only after the preceding Supreme's death)]]. |
| 119 | * HotTeacher: She's the headmistress of the Academy, and quite a looker at that. |
| 120 | * IAmNotMyFather: Or Mother, as the case may be. [[spoiler: In ''Apocalypse'', she worries that she's becoming more like Fiona because of her actions as Supreme]]. |
| 121 | * LadyOfBlackMagic: She grows into this, [[spoiler:eventually succeeding her mother as Supreme.]] |
| 122 | * ILetGwenStacyDie: [[spoiler: It's revealed she feels this way about Queenie's death in ''Hotel'' when she reappears in ''Apocalypse''.]] |
| 123 | * ISeeDeadPeople: Part of her new powers. |
| 124 | * LawOfInverseFertility: She desperately wants to have a baby with Hank, but it turns out she's infertile. |
| 125 | * MamaBear: Fondly calls all the other young witches 'her girls', and is extremely protective of them [[spoiler: to the point of sacrificing herself so she could ensure their existence.]] |
| 126 | * MasterPoisoner: Tried to give her mother a "health infusion" that would have put her in a coma for a few days (or weeks, or years, who's counting). |
| 127 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:When Queenie died during the events of ''Hotel'', Cordelia did everything in her power to get her back. But the hotel's dark powers wouldn't allow her to Queenie's spirit to return to the mortal world. She views being unable to bring Queenie back to be her greatest failure as Supreme.]] |
| 128 | * MoralityPet: For Fiona, to some degree. |
| 129 | * ParentalAbandonment: Fiona was a neglectful and absent parent; she was more concerned with herself than Cordelia. |
| 130 | * PsychosomaticSuperpowerOutage: [[spoiler:The finale reveals that her apparent powerlessness stems from crippling suppression and self-doubt. Once she begins to believe in herself, she's able to complete the Seven Wonders with ease. Myrtle implies that the reason the other witches had all been manifesting such unexpected powers was because Cordelia's dormant magic needed to let itself out somewhere.]] |
| 131 | * ShedTheFamilyName: A variation, as she drops her husband's name upon [[spoiler:becoming Supreme]]. Justified, as 1) [[spoiler:he was TheMole; not someone whose name she would want to keep]] and 2) [[spoiler:it wasn't his real name anyway]]. |
| 132 | * TheSmartGirl: When she returns to the school, Fiona finds her daughter inside a botany room, taking notes after smoking and studying a weed-type plant. She also seems to be working on something to make people young again. |
| 133 | * TheStoolPigeon: When the Council shows up at the school, Cordelia instantly blurts out everything that's happened in the past couple weeks without even knowing what the Council wants to talk about ([[spoiler:Madison's]] disappearance). One reviewer referred to it as "pulling a Zoe." |
| 134 | * ThanatosGambit: [[spoiler: With all her allies except Myrtle dead and Mallory dying, Cordelia realises she has no choice but to kill herself to allow Mallory the power to travel back int time and prevent Michael's ascension to power and the apocalypse.]] |
| 135 | * TookALevelInBadass: Steadily grinds her way up over the course of the series, [[GrewASpine gaining some self-confidence]] and a DisabilitySuperpower. [[spoiler: Then she power levels up the ranks in the finale when she finds out she's [[TheChosenOne the Supreme]].]] |
| 136 | ** [[spoiler: By the time ''Apocalypse'', she's now become a more confident and assertive ruler who takes crap from nobody]]. |
| 137 | * YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: [[spoiler:Her mother complimented her on the attempted murder of her.]] |

| 153 | * CreepyHousekeeper: At the Academy. His duties seem to encompass everything, from serving food to [[spoiler:dead body clean-up]]. |
| 154 | * {{Expy}}: Bears some slight resemblance to ''Film/ScaryMovie2'''s Hanson and a stronger one to Pablo from ''Film/Suspiria1977''. |

| 183 | A high-society Creole socialite in 1830s New Orleans. Her love of hosting elegant parties is matched only by her taste for the gruesome torture of her slaves. Though murdered by the New Orleans Voodoo Queen for her sins, [=LaLaurie=]'s fate is revealed as [[FateWorseThanDeath one worse than death]]. And one that has not yet ended. Shortly after being awoken in the present day, she's forced into being the coven's personal maid -- much to her chagrin. |

| 190 | * BloodCountess: She's a 19th century rich socialite who likes to torture her slaves for fun, and uses their blood as skincare in order to look younger. Although cursed, she becomes immortal. Even though she can be intimidated, she still keeps an arrogant (and racist, of course) attitude in her "second" life. |

| 200 | -->I don't care what kind of monster anybody says I am, I loved my girls...in my own way. Even the ugly one. From the moment she came out of my belly, she was a shame to me; she had the face of a damn hippo. But I loved her just the same. |
| 201 | * FairForItsDay: InUniverse. She tries explaining that she's a "product of her time," only to be told that excuse is a "crock of shit." |
| 202 | ** And it is. As stated during the tour of her house, her treatment of her slaves went way beyond anything permitted by the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Noir Code Noir]], which was pretty harsh in and of itself. |
| 203 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Spending eternity being tortured by Marie [=LaVeau=], along with her daughters.]] |
| 204 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Downplayed to some degree. She is [[LargeHam bombastic]] and [[spoiler:TheAtoner]], but she is still quite an evil woman. When talking to Queenie about her horrible deeds, she mentions about [[spoiler:killing a newborn baby]] and while [[spoiler:she does feel regret]], she still holds no bounds of what she is capable of doing and could do. |
| 205 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: Comes with the territory when you've spent over a century buried underground. She calls a TV a "magic box" and thinks that it's lying when she sees UsefulNotes/BarackObama's second inaugural address. |
| 206 | * HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphine_LaLaurie Delphine LaLaurie]]. |
| 207 | * HistoricalVillainDowngrade: Delphine's crimes were worse than depicted on the show, the riot was her fellow slaveowners turning against her for her ill-treatment of the slaves, and she survived the riot. |
| 208 | * HumanResources: She killed slaves for their pancreases to make a youth potion...in addition to her other crimes against humanity. |
| 209 | ** [[spoiler:She killed a newborn baby born from an affair between her husband and a young pretty slave, using the baby's blood for her youth potion and driving the mother to suicide.]] |
| 210 | * IgnoredEpiphany: [[spoiler:Although she has at least made lip service to the idea that the world has moved on since her time, and seems affected by the Negro spiritual at the end of "Head," in "Protect the Coven," she resumes her old ways as she is DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife]]. |
| 211 | * {{Irony}}: Fiona makes her a maid at the school. When she doesn't do her job properly, Fiona makes her Queenie's personal slave. |
| 212 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:She is finally killed in her own torture room, by the type of person she hated so much. And the only reason she can die in the first place is because she already butchered Marie.]] |
| 213 | * LargeHam: Creator/KathyBates is having a lot of fun; [=LaLaurie=] is prone to making grandiose statements. |
| 214 | * LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Marie puts her in a cage not unlike the type she kept her poor victims in, and even uses her blood as a beauty treatment in a similar way.]] |
| 215 | ** [[spoiler:She also sends her still-living head back to the coven in a box, just like the coven did to Bastien.]] |
| 216 | * LosingYourHead |
| 217 | * {{Narcissist}}: She eventually winds up [[spoiler:taking a job showing people around her home, which has been converted in the modern day to a sort of museum/house of horrors dedicated to her.]] |
| 218 | * MadArtist: She relates her lust for blood and murder to artistic inspiration. |
| 219 | * MercyKill: [[spoiler:Had to re-kill one of her daughters after they returned as zombies.]] |
| 220 | %%* MoralMyopia |
| 221 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She gradually begins to realize how much of a monster she was. |
| 222 | * NeverFoundTheBody: Because she was BuriedAlive. |
| 223 | * OddFriendship: A tremendously odd one with Queenie. |
| 224 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Even if she wasn't a SerialKiller, the way she behaves towards everyone of color she encounters is reprehensible. She can't stand the idea of Barack Obama being President of the United States. |
| 225 | ** After [[spoiler:Queenie sells her out to Marie,]] she loses any kind words she had for black people. |
| 226 | * SerialKiller: She has this aspect in common with her historical counterpart. She might even be more brutal. |
| 227 | * SmallNameBigEgo: [=LaLaurie=] considers herself "a visionary, ahead of her time." |
| 228 | * TookALevelInKindness: After a rather severe application of BreakTheHaughty, she manages to befriend Queenie and tries to genuinely better herself. It's a hell of a mountain to climb, but she seems to be getting there... [[spoiler:until Queenie betrays her to Marie, at which point she reverts to her old hatreds and indulgent villainy.]] |
| 229 | * VillainHasAPoint: She gives a scathing put-down to Queenie's suggestion that she prostrate herself and seek forgiveness, viewing such an act as faux public penitence that's purely for show. Having seen a lot of this in the modern world, she would rather just be honest about herself, whatever that damns her to. |
| 230 | * WouldHurtAChild: She [[spoiler:murdered a newborn baby to use the blood as a beauty treatment]]. That's above and beyond. Even she considers it the worst thing she did. |

| 258 | * BodyHorror: [[spoiler:His body was so badly mangled in the car wreck that Madison started picking up parts from the other frat boys in the morgue that she found attractive to make a "perfect boyfriend" for Zoe. This results in something that neither Kyle or his mother recognizes as "his" body.]] |
| 259 | * CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Madison's idea was to piece him together (using parts of his fraternity brothers) and resurrect him after she killed him by accident.]] |

| 262 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He's nowhere to be seen during the Coven-centric flashback scenes in ''Apocalypse''. |
| 263 | * DeadStarWalking: Evan Peters is a very popular returning actor on ''AHS'', but he's killed in the first episode. After that, however, he becomes a literal dead star walking. |

| 266 | * LovableJock: He's the only member of the fraternity who's a decent human being. |

| 268 | * ParentalIncest: [[spoiler:His mother was... inappropriate with him.]] |
| 269 | * PassingTheTorch: [[spoiler: Last seen wearing Spalding's old butler threads, indicating that he's become his replacement]]. |

| 271 | -->'''Kyle:''' [[spoiler:You're not that good of an actress.]] |
| 272 | * PsychopathicManchild: After his resurrection, his mindset is basically that of a frightened toddler. He calms down after the witches "raise" him by having him watch children's television and giving him simple books to read. |
| 273 | * TheQuietOne: After he CameBackWrong, he's barely able to speak, so he's normally quiet. Gets a lot better after [[MundaneSolution Zoe gets some education tapes and re-teaches him.]] |
| 274 | * RapeAsBackstory: [[spoiler: Who knows how long his mother made him serve as replacement "man of the house"...]] |
| 275 | * SatelliteCharacter: He's basically been Zoe's pet boyfriend all season, largely due to his reduced mental state. We get more about his wants and goals in flashbacks, before his death. |

| 322 | %%* ActionGirl: Eventually. |
| 323 | %%* ActionSurvivor: [[spoiler:Ultimately averted.]] |
| 324 | * AmbiguouslyBi: While Zoe is clearly attracted to men she does have sex with [[spoiler: Madison]] during a threesome [[spoiler: with her and Kyle]]. However, it's not clear if she's genuinely attracted to women or simply had sex with [[spoiler: Madison]] out of loneliness and her and [[spoiler: Kyle]] being the only two people she knew of who wouldn't be killed by her power. |
| 325 | * AntiHero : Zoe is a [[UnscrupulousHero Type IV]]. The most heroically aligned out of the coven. Not that it's saying much, as she is not averse to [[PayEvilUntoEvil killing evildoers]], though this often has her as the voice of reason. |
| 326 | * BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:Returns in ''Apocalypse'', but is killed by Michael and Miriam before the titular disaster happens, and Cordelia is unable to revive her]]. |
| 327 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In ''Coven''. Revived by Cordelia after dying via accidental impalement.]] |

| 333 | * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:She saves Nan and Luke from zombies.]] |
| 334 | * BlessedWithSuck: Her main power is a vagina that kills people she has sex with. Except for [[spoiler:Kyle and Madison, who have already died once]]. |

| 336 | * CantHaveSexEver: Because she's BlessedWithSuck. [[spoiler:Except with Kyle and Madison.]] |

| 338 | * TheCutie: Definitely the most adorable witch in the coven. |
| 339 | * DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler: It looked like she was going to be the lead. She had a lot of screen time, was shown to be very powerful, and was setting herself up to be a great leader. But no, she is not the Supreme and loses focus near the end. However, she is at the very least the SupportingProtagonist.]] |
| 340 | * DispelMagic: One of her powers that she developed allowed her to completely cancel the necromantic ritual that ''Marie [=LaVeau=]'' had cast it on the covenant's home. |
| 341 | * FakeCutie: As adorable and naive as she is, she's not above murder and deception. |
| 342 | * GirlWithPsychoWeapon: Again, chainsaw. |
| 343 | * HealingHands: Seems to have a more narrow form of it. She helps Misty [[spoiler: bring Madison back from the dead]], presumably due to her affinity with the dead. |
| 344 | * HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Out of the coven, she's got the least practical gifts, mostly being about the undead and interacting with spirits. It also happens that [[spoiler: a certain Voodoo Queen is very susceptible to them]]. |
| 345 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Despite murdering people when she feels it is necessary, Zoe is quick to criticize others for doing the exact same thing. |
| 346 | ** She seems to justify killing for the sake of the coven only, so it's a case of ProtagonistCenteredMorality she's all too aware of. |
| 347 | * ILied: In regards to giving Axeman release. She only ''promised'' him release, she would never go through with it. |
| 348 | * IronicName: ''Zoe'' is Greek for "life." |
| 349 | * LastOfTheirKind: Zoe rightfully points that she, Madison, Nan and Queenie are what's left of the Salem descendants. |
| 350 | * LetsGetDangerous: Whenever things get very dangerous, she's always the first to take action. |
| 351 | * LovableCoward: [[spoiler:Averted. Zoe seemed to be leaning this way in the latest episode, but ultimately struck down when she came to Nan and Luke's rescue against zombies.]] |
| 352 | * MercyKill: [[spoiler:She was going to attempt this on Kyle, but he ran away before she got the chance.]] |
| 353 | * {{Necromancer}}: [[spoiler:Seemingly developing powers related to spirits and the undead as the season goes on.]] |
| 354 | * OnlySaneMan: She tends to be the voice of reason in the conflicts of the others. |
| 355 | * OutWithABang: One of her powers is essentially this. Anyone besides Madison and Kyle who get into bed with her won't be waking up. |
| 356 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler:Zoe killed the frat boy who led the gang rape of Madison by herself, raping him while he was in a coma. She also killed Spalding.]] |
| 357 | * RecessiveSuperGenes: While her parents have no magic powers whatsoever, it's her grandmother she inherits said powers from. |
| 358 | * RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler:With Kyle.]] |
| 359 | * {{Seers}}: When it comes to the undead and spirits, she is incredibly adept at dealing with them, despite having no knowledge about them. When trying to [[spoiler: move Axeman on]], she is able to pick out an exact book in a foreign language containing a spell that will get rid of him. |
| 360 | * TheStoolPigeon: [[spoiler:The moment the police came investigating a murder, she sold out everyone.]] This happens in a moment of panic, however. |
| 361 | * {{Teleportation}}: In "The Seven Wonders." |
| 362 | * TeleFrag: [[spoiler:She impaled herself in a game of Teleportation Tag with the others.]] |
| 363 | * ThreeWaySex: [[spoiler:With Madison and Kyle.]] |
| 364 | * TookALevelInBadass: In "Burn, Witch! Burn!" and after, she's setting herself up to be the leader. This involves beheading several zombies and [[spoiler: using her influence over the undead to overpower ''Marie LaVeau'']]. |
| 365 | * TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: [[spoiler:She is quick to resort to killing in the face of injustice, as seen at the end of "Bitchcraft."]] |
| 366 | * VaginaDentata: Subverted, but the same basic principle. Having sex with her will result in a fatal stroke. |
| 367 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: She isn't good at planning things. A good example is her [[spoiler: spectacular failure at attempting to revive Kyle and re-integrate him into society. She takes a brain that hasn't had oxygen for days and places it on top of a pile of badly sewn body parts, resurrects it, attempts to pass it for human, and then sends it back to its sexually abusive mother]].

| 385 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Resurrected by Misty and Zoe. The first time anyway. And once again, following her second death by being strangled by Kyle, as she shows up in ''Apocalypse''. Michael Langdon rescued her from her personal hell — [[FateWorseThanDeath working retail]].]] |
| 386 | * BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Zoe's Betty. |
| 387 | * BreakTheHaughty: First, she gets in a fight with Queenie and loses, then she gets telekinetically bitch-slapped by Fiona (whom Madison later learns is the ''Supreme'') and, lastly, [[spoiler:she's ''gang-raped'' by frat boys at a party]]. And that's just the first episode! |

While she still remains self-centered, vulgar and judgmental, she takes her role as Cordelia's council member more seriously and does her best to ensure the safety of her Supreme and the Coven. She shows more kindness to those around her and is even willing to reflect on her own past actions]]. |
| 399 | * DateRape: [[spoiler:The victim of it.]] |
| 400 | * DeadpanSnarker: Marks herself as such by calling Zoe "Sabrina" and tossing around insulting, cynical quips from there on. |
| 401 | * DeadGuyOnDisplay: [[spoiler:Her body ends up residing inside Spaulding's room.]] |
| 402 | * DepravedBisexual: While Madison is seen almost exclusively flirting with and having sex with men she also has sex with [[spoiler: Zoe]] by way of a threesome with her and [[spoiler: Kyle]]. |
| 403 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: In "The Sacred Taking," she's visibly shocked by [[spoiler:Queenie killing and gutting a man before taking his heart out. Granted, the man was a rapist who had assaulted three or more according to Queenie, but oddly Madison, who had murdered her own rapist(s), is taken aback by this.]] |

| 405 | * FateWorseThanDeath: As seen in ''Apocalypse'', her personal hell is [[spoiler: working retail]]. |
| 406 | * ForgotAboutHerPowers: |
| 407 | ** She's the direct victim of the same one twice, without even a token attempt at [[HandWave handwaving]] to explain why: When a furious Misty Day decides to kick her ass, Madison somehow forgets that she has ''magical powers''. So instead of throwing her attacker through a wall, or setting her on fire, or controlling her mind, or teleporting away, she instead simply allows the much larger and stronger woman to thrash her. The exact same thing happens again in the finale, when Kyle attacks her, [[spoiler:though this time with fatal results]]. The latter could be justified by the fact that she was an emotional wreck by that time; the former was probably just cathartic for the fans and Misty. |
| 408 | ** A more minor example, but she is shown several times carrying a lighter with which to light her cigarettes, seemingly forgetting her pyrokinesis. There's little danger involved in lighting them with magic, given that she lit Fiona's cigarette effortlessly from one room over in the third episode. |
| 409 | * GirlsWithGuns: [[spoiler: In the '"Apocalypse" finale, she takes the machine gun from the remains of the Mead android and fires at Langdon point blank]]. |
| 410 | * HardDrinkingPartyGirl: In Queenie's words: |
| 411 | -->"Madison Montgomery is a stone-cold bitch who loves hard drinking, big dicks and trouble. [[spoiler: If she's dead, it's probably 'cause she got wasted and offered the Grim Reaper a hand job or something]]." |
| 412 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Related above, she stays behind to stall Langdon while Cordelia and the others prepare the time travel spell]]. |
| 413 | * HotWitch: Hot damn, is she ever! And she knows how to use it, although her rockin' bod doesn't work on Luke. |
| 414 | * {{Hypocrite}} Is taken aback by Queenie murdering a rapist with 3-plus sexual assaults to his count, despite having killed nearly all of the frat boys who had gang-raped her via telekinesis without a thought. |
| 415 | * InformedFlaw: Her acting ability is apparently terrible. |
| 416 | * IronicHell: [[spoiler: In Apocalypse, Michael Langdon finds Madison's soul in her personal hell, forced to work in a retail store, constantly being verbally abused by rude customers, no one recognizing her celebrity status, and being cattle prodded by her manager if she doesn't do her job correctly. The personal massagers are also always out of stock so she's unable to get off as well!]] |

| 418 | * {{Jerkass}}: She's generally dismissive of others. [[spoiler:Even after death.]] |
| 419 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Subverted. Fiona, convinced that Madison was destined to be the next Supreme, tries to get her to off her the same way she did the previous Supreme. Madison refuses and her throat winds up slit in the struggle. Turns out she was wrong. Her body is then kept around by Spaulding for several episodes until she is brought back to life.]] |

| 422 | * MindControl: Picks it up after about thirty seconds of tutoring from Fiona. |
| 423 | * MindOverMatter: And that's "mind over a ''lot'' of matter." Although her control over her telekinesis is sometimes a bit lacking, she has plenty of raw power. |
| 424 | * MinidressOfPower: Wears a very sexy blue one, but [[BoyNextDoor Luke]] is sadly immune. |
| 425 | * MustHaveNicotine: Upon [[spoiler:rising from the dead]], her first words are "I need a cigarette." |

| 427 | * {{Narcissist}}: A ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malignant_narcissism malignant]]'' example given that she displays [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] and {{sadist}}ic character traits. Like Fiona, she craves to be the center of everyone's attention and [[LackOfEmpathy exhibits no concern for others' well-being aside from the extent that doing so reinforces her bloated ego]]. However, unlike Fiona, she seems almost completely incapable of experiencing shame and harbors no attachments to anyone or anything. Following her resurrection, her sociopathic qualities become even more pronounced as she wantonly gratifies herself through [[ItAmusedMe reckless thrill-seeking behavior]] and [[{{Sadist}} sadistically]] exercising power over others. |
| 428 | -->'''Madison:''' They call us the global generation. We are known for our entitlement and narcissism. But [[LackOfEmpathy it seems our one defining trait is a numbness to the world. An indifference to suffering]]. [[ItsAllAboutMe And that's the rub of all this, isn't it? I can't feel shit....How could anything be worse than this eternal silence inside of me.]] |
| 429 | * {{Necromancer}}: [[spoiler:Brings a man back from the dead effortlessly, just to demonstrate to Misty how powerful she's become. Though this may have been a trick of some sort.]] |
| 430 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:She flips the gang rapists' bus in order to get revenge, but not only does she end up ''not'' killing her main rapist, she kills the ''only'' one of them that had tried to stop her rape]]. And then [[spoiler:when she tries to bring Kyle back, he [[CameBackWrong comes back wrong]]]]. |
| 431 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: She has been called "Creator/LindsayLohan with magic powers." |
| 432 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler:In ''Apocalypse'', she feels sorry for Tate and Violet's tragic romance and brings them together]]. |
| 433 | * PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler:She develops the ability to set things on fire with her mind in episode 3.]] |
| 434 | * RapeAndRevenge: [[spoiler:Promptly flipped over a limo bus of the frat boys who raped her and killed seven of them, but not the one who started it.]] |
| 435 | * RedHerring: [[spoiler:Being brought back from the dead cured her heart murmur, which seems to put her back in the running for being the Supreme. Except it doesn't.]] |
| 436 | * ScarsAreForever: [[spoiler:At first, her SlashedThroat wound never healed after she was brought back to life and wears a scarf to conceal it. Later episodes show that her neck is just fine, albeit looking like a normal scar.]] |
| 437 | * SexForSolace: [[spoiler:Has sex with Kyle since it's the only time she can feel anything.]] |
| 438 | * ShowerOfAngst: [[spoiler:After being raped.]] |
| 439 | * SlashedThroat: [[spoiler:How she ends up being killed by Fiona after the latter begged her to kill her only to slash her throat with a knife.]] |
| 440 | * SmokingIsGlamorous: Her smoking is in the style of a movie star (or more specifically, a child star grown into a sexy bad girl), and she carries her cigarettes in an elegant, old-fashioned cigarette case. |
| 441 | * SmugSuper: If there's one common trait about Miss Madison Montgomery, it was that she is very smug and having powers just added more to her favor. |
| 442 | * SoreLoser: She reacts poorly when [[spoiler: she fails the divination test in the finale.]] |
| 443 | * SpoiledBrat: Has a raging sense of entitlement and reacts very poorly to being told "no". |
| 444 | * StageMom: Her mother was like this. |
| 445 | -->She snorted most of my coke and let ''me'' get busted by the cops! |
| 446 | * StoryBreakerPower: Starts with ''immensely'' powerful telekinesis, then develops [[PlayingWithFire pyrokinesis]], then (apparently) makes a start on learning telepathic compulsion. One wonders if the reason for her [[spoiler:abrupt death]] was because otherwise she would have effortlessly destroyed the [[spoiler:army of zombies]] by squashing them all into little cubes, then turning them into charcoal briquettes. Only becomes more apparent upon her return, when she develops Transmutation, Vitalum Vitalis, and Descensum, surpassing most of her fellow witches by developing a total of six out of the Seven Wonders. Even though she was not fated to [[spoiler:become the Supreme]], it's clear that she was on her way to becoming a ''very'' powerful witch. |
| 447 | * SuperpowerLottery: See above. She's incredibly powerful and has developed a lot of abilities over the course of the show. |
| 448 | * ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: To near [[Series/BreakingBad Jesse Pinkman]] levels. |
| 449 | * ThreeWaySex: [[spoiler:With Zoe and Kyle.]] |
| 450 | * TokenEvilTeammate: She's the least moral among the witches and would need even the simplest of motives in order to betray them. [[spoiler: In ''Apocalypse'', she questions Cordelia's willingness to trust her loyalty to the Coven. Even mentioning that she could very well be working for [[TheAntichrist Langdon]] after resurrecting her]]. |
| 451 | * TookALevelInKindness: When we see her again in ''Apocalypse'', she's noticeably matured a ''lot'', and helps to —among other things— [[spoiler: help bring Moira's ghost to peace, and leads Violet and Tate to reconcillation]]. |
| 452 | * TranquilFury: [[spoiler:After her gang rape]], just watch, as she [[spoiler:calmly walks over to where Zoe was in the street and with a wave of her hand, she flips over an ''entire'' '''bus''' which then explodes, all without a scream or anything. Just a silent rage.]] |
| 453 | * UngratefulBitch: [[spoiler:Misty brings her back from the dead. A few episodes later, Madison knocks Misty out and buries her when she starts overshadowing her.]] |
| 454 | ** [[spoiler:She let Zoe remain dead despite the fact that she brought her back to life as well.]] |
| 455 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:When she fails the Divination portion of the Seven Wonders, she completely loses it.]] |
| 456 | * WalkingSpoiler: Not as horrible as Dr. Thredson from the season before, but she is a vital and spoiler-ish character. |
| 457 | * WomanScorned: [[spoiler:After Kyle makes it clear that he only loves Zoe, Madison vowed to take him apart.]] |
| 458 | * YourHeadASplode: [[spoiler: In the "Apocalypse" finale, Langdon has her head exploded]]. |

| 470 | A young woman from a backwoods Pentecostal community in the bayou of Louisiana, Misty Day is misunderstood and even feared by those in her own community. Without a coven to call her own, Misty spends her days meandering the swamps and listening to [[Music/FleetwoodMac Stevie Nicks]]. She loves animals and was thought to be the next Supreme. |
| 471 | ---- |
| 472 | * ActionGirl: Madison tries to get away with entombing her. Misty responds by kicking her ass so thoroughly that Madison is forced to crawl away futilely, and is only saved when Kyle separates the two. |
| 473 | * AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Her ultimate fate, as she is forced to relive dissecting a frog against her will in a loop. Thankfully she escapes with the help of Langdon. Or in the revised timeline, with the help of Nan and Papa Legba, as a favor to Mallory for killing Langdon]]. |
| 474 | * AnimalMotif: She's first seen resurrecting a dead dove, and her many shawls give the impression of wings. |
| 475 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Resurrected by Michael Langdon in ''Apocalypse'']]. |
| 476 | %% * BerserkButton: Animal poachers. Or breaking her radio. |
| 477 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Misty is one of the most genuinely nice people you can hope to come across and loves all living things, even showing reservations about hurting a plant. But she will kick the ass of anyone who tries to hurt her, one of her friends, or harms an animal. |
| 478 | * BuriedAlive: [[spoiler:Madison had her entombed after knocking her out. She gets out.]] |
| 479 | * BurnTheWitch: Was burned at the stake. |
| 480 | * CharacterDeath: |
| 481 | ** [[spoiler:She is burned alive by religious fundamentalists who believed she worships the Devil. She resurrects herself.]] |
| 482 | ** [[spoiler:She dies of starvation after Madison buries her alive. Resurrected by Queenie.]] |
| 483 | ** [[spoiler:She can't get out of Hell during the Descensum part of the Seven Wonders. Her body turns to ashes. In the erased timeline, she is resurrected by Michael. In the new timeline, Nan and Papa Legba resurrect her.]] |
| 484 | * ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:She is initially presumed dead and used as a cautionary tale to the Academy witches. Then it turns out she managed to save herself. Then it turns out she has a talent for bringing main characters back from the dead, and may be the next Supreme.]] |
| 485 | * CloudCuckooLander: Living in isolation after being unsuccessfully burnt at the stake has made Misty desperate for human company and more than a little strange. |
| 486 | * DangerTakesABackseat: How she meets Zoe after [[spoiler:she and Madison had brought Kyle back to life]]. |
| 487 | * DetectEvil: [[spoiler: She warns Cordelia that she could feel an evil presence emitting from Langdon when he came to rescue her from hell]]. |
| 488 | * {{Fangirl}}: She ''absolutely'' loves [[Music/FleetwoodMac Stevie Nicks]]. |
| 489 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Locked in an endless loop dissecting/reviving frogs in {{Hell}}. Subverted in ''Apocalypse'' when Langdon arrives and gets her out]]. |
| 490 | * FightsLikeANormal: Explicitly states she doesn't need magic to fight. |
| 491 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Very much so, to the point where poachers are what she hates the most. [[HealingHands With emphasis on the "living" part]]. Unfortunately for her, this is also the reason why [[spoiler:[[AndIMustScream she is trapped in Hell]], as she just can't bring herself to let that frog die.]] |
| 492 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: The girl can fight. [[spoiler:She beat the hell out of Madison for entombing her.]] |
| 493 | * HealingHands: She has the power to bring the dead back to life, any type. [[spoiler:She raised alligators who were poached and used them to kill the poachers. She's also raised Myrtle, Madison, and Joan from the dead.]] |
| 494 | * HealingHerb: She's also good at preparing these. |
| 495 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: She's overjoyed to have Zoe around, making sure she'll come back. Averted when she chooses not to join the Academy, not liking the bad vibes of the place. |
| 496 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Her soul descended to Hell and didn't return after sunrise. Her body turned to dust. That is until ''Apocalypse'']]. |
| 497 | * NiceGirl: From what we've seen, so long as you don't go around poaching animals or, you know, ''trying to burn her at the stake'', or even [[BuriedAlive entombing]] her, she's a very nice girl. |
| 498 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Unfortunately, her well-intentioned resurrection of Joan means that Joan is alive and able to kill Luke. And, in fact, her resurrection of Madison comes back to bite her personally]]. |
| 499 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: She is not pleased when [[spoiler:Madison tries to kill her]]. |
| 500 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Survived being burned as a witch by using herbs she found in the swamps.]] |
| 501 | * TheOphelia: Wild hair, in tune with nature, more than a little out there... all she needs to do is kick off her boots and she would be a spitting image. |
| 502 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler:After she finds Myrtle's burnt corpse, she brings her back to life and starts to heal her. While Myrtle didn't come back perfectly, it's certainly an improvement upon the charred pile of flesh and bones she was before. While it's unknown whether Misty was aware of how Myrtle was innocent of the crimes she was burnt at the stake for, the fact remains that she gave an innocent woman a second chance at life.]] |
| 503 | ** Also, has a rather sweet moment where she takes the time to thank Cordelia, the mistreated ButtMonkey of the school, for teaching her potions, saying what a great leader she thinks Cordelia is. |
| 504 | * PunnyName: "Misty Day" is pretty self-explanatory as far as puns go. |
| 505 | * PutOnABus: [[spoiler: After being resurrected by Langdon and reunited with her coven in ''Apocalypse'', Misty asks to take a leave of absence in order to regain herself after her period in Hell. Thus she isn't as involved in the events of the season as her witch sisters]]. |
| 506 | * QuirkyCurls |
| 507 | * SacrificialLamb: Averted. She serves this purpose to bring Fiona back to the Academy and serve as a cautionary tale, but she actually survived and disappeared from public view. |
| 508 | * StoryBreakerPower: To the point where characters had to become smart enough to get around this. |
| 509 | ** [[spoiler:Her power to bring back the dead would totally ruin Cordelia's realization of being the Supreme, thus she's killed off permanently before Zoe's death.]] |
| 510 | * SweetHomeAlabama: Has a strong Southern accent, raves about the healing properties of the bayou, and is a very sweet girl. [[spoiler:She only loses her NiceGirl attitude when Kyle breaks her CD player and when she’s buried alive]]. |
| 511 | * UnexplainedRecovery: It is never really explained how she turned up alive and well after being burned alive. Misty makes an offhand mention that she brought ''herself'' back from the dead, but nothing more is elaborated on that, or if she is even correct in her claim. |
| 512 | * WouldRatherSuffer: [[spoiler: After Cordelia reveals that she was brought back to life thanks to Langdon and even gave up her title as Supreme to do so, Misty says that it would have been better if she stayed in Hell, as she could feel an evil force coming from him]]. |

| 522 | A student witch at the academy. In addition to having Down Syndrome, she is a clairvoyant and empath who knows more than she lets on. |
| 523 | ---- |
| 524 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: The nicest, sweetest girl at the academy. [[spoiler:Then she finds out Luke's mom killed him. And forces her to drink a bottle of bleach.]] |
| 525 | ** She also [[spoiler: ends up as Papa Legba's assistant in Hell, and admits that she quite enjoys it.]] |
| 526 | * BlessedWithSuck: Her abilities can be helpful, but also open her up to more negative emotions such as her trip to Madame [=LaLaurie's=] home. It gets to the point of having to [[spoiler:release Delphine]] in order for the emotions she was sensing from her to stop. She is also the only witch shown whose powers have no immediate combat use. [[spoiler: She does eventually develop the power of mind control, but is killed before she gets a chance to do much with it other than kill Joan.]] |
| 527 | * BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Upon discovering that Joan murdered Luke, Nan forces her to drink bleach with her newfound MindControl powers.]] |
| 528 | * BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler: Doesn't seem all too pleased to see Cordelia in ''Apocalypse'']]. |
| 529 | * {{Camp}}: Dressed as a Puritan when Fiona told the girls to wear something black for a class trip. However, her clothing style is by far the most conservative of the four students, barring the occasional high heel. |
| 530 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Drowned by Fiona and Marie as a sacrifice for Papa Legba.]] |
| 531 | * IChooseToStay: [[spoiler: She has the chance to come back to life at the end of ''Apocalypse'', but decides to stay in Hell instead.]] |
| 532 | * TheEmpath: She doesn't just see the past; she can feel the emotions of other people. |
| 533 | * ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler:Averted. Zoe finds out, through a spell, that Fiona and Marie killed her, and Queenie is seen trying to contact her in the beginning of "The Seven Wonders". Played somewhat straight in ''Apocalypse'' where it seems that Zoe never told Cordelia what happened to her and Cordelia was thus shocked to learn she was in Hell.]] |
| 534 | * AHellOfATime: [[spoiler: In ''Apocalypse'', Nan admits that she's having a wonderful time in Hell with Papa Legba]]. |
| 535 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Fiona and Marie drown her and give her soul to Papa Legba.]] |
| 536 | * KillTheCutie: [[spoiler:Drowned by Fiona and Marie, both as an offering to the Voodoo Spirit and to eliminate her as a threat.]] |
| 537 | * KnightTemplar: [[spoiler:Downplayed. Nan insists she will still use her powers for good even after forcing someone to drink bleach, even if it was [[PayEvilUntoEvil deserved]].]] |
| 538 | * MindControl: [[spoiler:Is revealed to have gained this by episode 10.]] |
| 539 | * MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Her power, demonstrated when she senses Zoe's past within a few minutes of meeting her. |
| 540 | * MundaneUtility: She has used her powers to learn boys' favorite foods and woo them. |
| 541 | ** She also uses headphones to listen to music to block out most of her power troubles. |
| 542 | * NiceGirl: Assures Zoe she will find love again and convinces an aggressive Queenie to stop hurting Madison. |
| 543 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Not knowing who she was, she lets Delphine go because she was "thinking too loud" and Nan couldn't stand it. Delphine then knocks Queenie out with a candlestick.]] |
| 544 | * PowerIncontinence: Can't shut off her power. She can, however, wear earphones. |
| 545 | * ReallyGetsAround: She reveals this when Madison calls her and Queenie virgins. Makes sense, since her power means she can tell when a guy is into her. |
| 546 | * TheSnarkKnight: She becomes this somewhat [[spoiler:towards the end of her arc]], exerting her power over Madison and telling Marie Laveau to eat her shit. |
| 547 | * TheStoolPigeon: Called the Council of Witches when she couldn't sense Madison. |
| 548 | * ThroughHisStomach: Nan successfully catches the affections of Luke by giving him yellow cake with buttercream frosting, the one thing he can't resist! Her cooking even manages to get Luke to ignore Madison's obvious attempts to seduce him. |
| 549 | * SupportPartyMember: Mostly benefits the coven through her telepathy and clairvoyance, as her powers - like Zoe's - have little application in combat. |
| 550 | * SupremeChef: Did you ''see'' the cake she made for Luke? |
| 551 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Nan is thus far the most gentle and perceptive of all the girls, despite her participation in the student hazing. This may have something to do with her BlessedWithSuck empathy powers, or she was just having childish fun with the others. |

| 579 | * DisproportionateRetribution: A customer at her old fast food job was harassing her so she used her powers to deep fry his hand. It's how she was found. |

| 586 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Shoots herself in the head so she can remotely kill Hank and save Marie. She survives, but the intent is still the same.]] |
| 587 | * InformedAbility: Supposedly very good at math. It doesn't really play into anything. |
| 588 | * JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: [[spoiler:Rather gleefully uses it on Spalding.]] |

| 590 | ** [[spoiler:She lived, due to the discovery of an EleventhHourSuperpower. But even then, it was established that even if she did die, the witches planned to bring her back anyway.]] |
| 591 | * NoSell: Averted. Her powers only work if she does it to herself. She can still be attacked and injured normally. [[spoiler: Played straight when she makes a return in ''[[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryHotel Hotel]]'', when Ramona Royale attacks her, but takes the damage herself.

| 595 | * SelfHarmInducedSuperpower: Since she's a living voodoo doll she can harm herself and an identical wound will appear on her victim. She also recovers extremely quickly from such wounds. |
| 596 | * SlashedThroat: [[spoiler: On the receiving end, courtesy of [[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryHotel James Patrick March]]. Because March is a ghost, her human voodoo doll power doesn't work on him.]] |

| 634 | * TheCameo: [[spoiler: She makes a minor appearance in the ''Apocalypse'' finale where she helps the Coven fight back against Langdon]]. |
| 635 | * CharacterDeath: |
| 636 | ** [[spoiler:The first time she dies, she is dismembered by Delphine and her immortality is taken by Papa Legba.]] |
| 637 | ** [[spoiler:Her second death is when Michael takes our her heart with his bare hand and eats it. This death was undone by Mallory.]] |
| 638 | * CrusadingWidow: Her lover Bastien was [[spoiler:one of Madame [=LaLaurie's=] victims]]. Only except [[spoiler:her lover is alive still]]. |
| 639 | * DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Her immortal life comes at the price of one innocent soul (a baby) per year, starting with her firstborn.]] |
| 640 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Marie is set up as the main antagonist, only to be overshadowed by the Delphi Trust. She teams up with Fiona to destroy them, but has her immortality revoked by Papa Legba in the penultimate episode.]] |
| 641 | * EnemyMine: [[spoiler:With the Salem witches against the witch hunters]]. |
| 642 | ** [[spoiler: She joins forces with them again in the ''Apocalypse'' finale]]. |
| 643 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Zigzagged. She [[spoiler:sacrifices babies to maintain her immortality]], but balks at the prospect of [[spoiler:torturing Delphine's daughter, saying that the girl did nothing to deserve it]]. |
| 644 | * EvilLaugh: When [[spoiler:Cordelia asks for a spell to have a baby]], Marie lets loose some cackling worthy of a witch. |
| 645 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Becoming exactly what she hated: a merciless torturer hurting innocent people.]] |
| 646 | * TheFashionista: Appropriately for an immortal witch who moonlights as a hairdresser, Marie is always shown to be on top of the contemporary fashions over the years. |
| 647 | * HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Laveau Marie LaVeau]] was a voodoo priestess by night and hairdresser by day in real life. |
| 648 | * HistoricalVillainUpgrade: The real Marie [=LaVeau=] was a Voodoo priestess, healer and herbalist, and didn't go around sacrificing babies and selling her soul for vengeance. |
| 649 | * {{Hypocrite}}: The way she calls Fiona a witch almost makes it sound like a derogatory term. This is odd, considering that her practice is witchcraft by definition and how she claims that the Salem witches got their powers from voodoo practitioners like her. |
| 650 | * IronicHell: [[spoiler: She's forced to become a sadistic torturer in the same manner Delphine was which doubles as one for Delphine who's tortured, along with her daughters, in the same manner she tortured her slaves. The two also intensely hated each other and are now forced to live with one another for all eternity.]] |
| 651 | * LaserGuidedKarma: |
| 652 | ** She makes it a thing to ensure that horrible people unlucky enough to have hurt the people she cares for wind up getting hit with this trope ''hard''. |
| 653 | ** She ends up on the receiving end of it when [[spoiler:she's hacked into pieces by Madame [=LaLaurie=], effectively ending her immortality, and is sent to Hell to torture the [=LaLaurie=] family in the same fashion Delphine tortured her slaves, becoming the very thing she loathes.]] |
| 654 | * MoralMyopia: Atrocities against blacks? Unforgivable. Atrocities against whites? Hilarious. |
| 655 | * MortalityPhobia: [[spoiler: Why she made her deal with Papa Legba. She tried to take it back when she realized [[WouldHurtAChild exactly what the price was]], but too late.]] |
| 656 | * NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:When she winds up in Voodoo Hell and claims to be innocent, she conveniently forgets that she murdered Delphine's relatively-innocent family and has been sacrificing babies to Papa Legba for almost two centuries. Legba is all too happy to remind her.]] |
| 657 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: She's a fan of the practice. |
| 658 | ** This is how she deals with [[spoiler:Madame [=LaLaurie=], torturing and hanging her family before burying her alive. In episode 4, she then raised [=LaLaurie=]'s daughters as zombie slaves.]] |
| 659 | ** Sending [[spoiler:a zombie horde to tear apart some racists who lynched a little boy]]. |
| 660 | ** [[spoiler: She kills her successor Dinah Stevens in the ''Apocalypse'' finale for helping Langdon destroy the witches and the world itself]]. |
| 661 | * PerpetualPoverty: Invoked. While not necessarily ''poor'', she's over 300 years old and lives a relatively humble lifestyle as the owner of a local hair salon. [[ShownTheirWork Marie Laveau in real life was a hairdresser]]; within the show, it makes sense that she'd continue the practice over the years. |
| 662 | * ProperlyParanoid: In the 60s, she was very wary of what would happen when schools were first integrated. Anyone with a basic understanding of the Civil Rights movement in America knows why. When you've lived for ''three centuries'' and have only seen unrelenting hatred and bigotry towards your race for that entire time...it's easy to understand why'd you be wary about how this "Civil Rights Movement thing" was going to turn out. |
| 663 | * ReadTheFinePrint: [[spoiler: Thought she was selling her ''own'' soul for immortality, but in actuality she has to sacrifice an innocent soul every year to keep up her end of the bargain. And she realized this when Papa Legba came for the first payment, her own child.]] |
| 664 | * SassyBlackWoman: She's adopted this persona in order to live a normal life in the modern day, but can abandon it at the drop of the hat when she realizes she's around someone who knows how powerful she is. |
| 665 | * SheWhoFightsMonsters: Her targets may be the monstrous Madame [=LaLaurie=] and the ruthless Fiona, but Marie descends to the same depths as they do to get what she wants. Showcased most brutally when she imprisons [[spoiler:[=LaLaurie=] in a similar cage to the one [=LaLaurie=] kept her victims in, and uses the same "beauty treatment." Except Marie applies it like war paint.]] |
| 666 | ** It's also enforced when [[spoiler: she finally ends up in Hell. She is forced to torture Delphine's daughters, who by her own account never did anything to her, in the same manner that Delphine once tortured her slaves.]] |
| 667 | * SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:After Hank's attack on her salon, she appears to be the only survivor. Subverted when it's discovered that Queenie lived.]] |
| 668 | * {{Teleportation}}: Marie uses this power for the first time in ''Apocalypse'' [[spoiler: to execute Dinah in order to fulfill Cordelia's deal with Papa Legba that brought her back from Hell - and send Dinah down in her place]]. |
| 669 | * UndyingLoyalty: Her lover Bastien? The slave who was forced to live with a dead bull's head on top of his? Not only did she deliver some serious revenge, but [[spoiler:he's still with her, and she still seems to care for him. However, it seems that he might also be there to do her dirty work for her]]. |
| 670 | * WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:She sacrificed 178 babies to Papa Legba between 1834-2012 in order to maintain her youth and vitality, the first one being her own child.]] |

| 734 | ---- |
| 735 | * AdaptationalVillainy: His counterpart in RealLife Voodoo, like all other loa, is no more evil or good than whatever purpose the practitioner calls on his aid for. Here, he's basically a SatanicArchetype, [[spoiler:making pacts that involve the sacrifice of infants and having his own domain in Hell.]] |
| 736 | * AffablyEvil: Papa Legba is charming, laid-back and reasonable, with no qualms about [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu doing cocaine with Fiona or having tea with Queenie]]. Also, he demands [[spoiler:innocent souls (i.e. babies) in exchange for immortality]]. |
| 737 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: [[spoiler:Just before he consigns Madame [=LaLaurie=] to hell, he makes a list of her sins as "crimes of murder, torture, passion, fashion and being an all-round no-good, miserable bitch."]] |
| 738 | * BorrowinSamedi: His appearance and personality have a lot more in common with Baron Samedi than the Papa Legba of myth. He rules over the dead, has white face paint, etcetera. |
| 739 | * DarkIsEvil: He certainly takes a lot of pleasure in his work. |
| 740 | * DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:He made one with Marie [=LaVeau=] for immortality, which she regrets to some degree. Fiona attempts to make the same deal, though he turns her down, claiming that [[TheSoulless she has no soul]].]] |
| 741 | ** [[spoiler: In ''Apocalypse'', he makes a new one for Cordelia: he'll trap [[TheAntichrist Langdon]] in the underworld in exchange for the souls of her students. Naturally she refuses. However, in the finale, Cordelia makes a new deal with him: the resurrection of Marie Laveau in exchange for Dinah Stevens, the most corrupted Voodoo Queen, to serve as his new servant]]. |

| 747 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: He has bright red eyes, and he's bad news indeed. |
| 748 | * SadlyMythtaken: Papa Legba in the actual voodoo religion is nothing like on the show. While he does control the gateway between the worlds of the living and the dead, his appearance and dark demeanor have more in common with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baron_Samedi Baron Samedi]], compared to the [[http://www.ezilikonnen.com/the_lwa/legba.html humble, kindly old man]] Legba is depicted as in real Vodou. In ''Apocalypse'', Dinah calls him "the voodoo devil", which, no. |
| 749 | ** [[DarkIsNotEvil Not that Baron Samedi would be interested in human sacrifice either, let alone infants]]. Offerings to Baron Samedi in real Voudou rituals are generally rum and cigars. |

| 761 | A graduate of Miss Robichaux's Academy, the eccentric Myrtle Snow serves as head of the Witches Council. Despite her complicated past with Fiona, Myrtle has a very close relationship with Fiona's daughter Cordelia. |
| 762 | ---- |
| 763 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Resurrected by Misty after being burned at the stake.]] |

| 765 | ** [[spoiler:[[RuleOfThree Happens once again]] in ''[[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryApocalypse Apocalypse]]'', in which she shows up along with Cordelia Goode and Madison Montgomery. A flashback reveals that Cordelia brought her back for help against Michael. At the end of the season, with Michael having been killed in the past, her resurrection never happens.]] |
| 766 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Much friendlier than Fiona, and generally one of the most moral witches in the series. But as a few people have found out the hard way, she has a stomach for violence that ''far'' outstrips Fiona. [[spoiler:After the other two members of the Council wrongly condemn her to death, she gets revenge by paralyzing them, scooping their eyes out with a melon baller ''while they're still alive'', slowly dismembering them, and dissolving their mutilated corpses in acid]]. |
| 767 | * BurnTheWitch: [[spoiler:She's burned at the stake by the Council for blinding Cordelia.]] |
| 768 | %%* ButNowIMustGo |
| 769 | * CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:She mentions that her powers have increased substantially after being resurrected by Misty.]] |
| 770 | * CassandraTruth: Her power (or at least what she chooses to do with it) is "Guardian of Veracity in the Vernacular," and she's dead right about Fiona [[spoiler:murdering the previous Supreme and Madison, and getting Spaulding to cover for her in both cases]], but for one reason or another, she always ends up looking jealous and paranoid when bringing this to the attention of others. |

| 773 | ** [[spoiler:She is burned at the stake again, this time for good, for killing Cecily and Quentin.]] |
| 774 | * CloudCuckoolander: She's more than a little odd, complimenting Zoe's mother on her drapes as her men drag away her daughter. |
| 775 | -->I'm just mad for tartan! |
| 776 | -->I do love a key lime pie, even more than an ''île flottante''! Call me a Philistine! |

Myrtle often speaks highly of and has been in love with many men (including Egon Von Furstenberg, Halston, [=DaVinci=], and even slaps Zoe for insulting Kyle). She appears to greatly admire artistic and creative men. |

| 786 | * {{Foil}}: Can be succinctly described as "the Anti-Fiona". She's a homely redhead to Fiona's traditionally beautiful blonde, a flamboyant eccentric to Fiona's subdued IceQueen, the [[IWasQuiteALooker aging former beauty]] to Fiona's voracious MrsRobinson, and a surrogate mother to Cordelia where Fiona was her mother InNameOnly. While Fiona is adept at [[TheChessmaster quietly manipulating people]], and will ''always'' lie to further her own agenda, Myrtle ''forces'' people to tell the truth in her capacity as "Guardian of Veracity in the Vernacular", and [[spoiler: she can be ''mercilessly'' violent to people who don't share her reverence for the Truth]]. While Fiona is motivated entirely by self-interest, Myrtle is shown to be unafraid of self-sacrifice, and [[spoiler: ultimately demands to be burned at the stake for her past misdeeds]]. |

| 792 | -->Can you imagine these poor Salem witches traveling all the way down here in covered wagons, without a proper ''charcuterie'' platter or a bidet! Absolutely savage! |
| 793 | * LivingLieDetector: One of her abilities is that she's a "vernacular in the truth" and can tell when a lie is being spoken. Which does not stop Fiona from getting over on her numerous times. |
| 794 | * NerdGlasses: Of the cat-eye brand; Myrtle has apparently favored the style since TheSeventies when she was especially bookish (and, in Fiona's words, hadn't yet ''developed'' any style). |
| 795 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Bares a striking resemblance to Grace Coddington in personality and appearance. |

| 801 | * UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler: She's somehow been revived a second time between the events of ''Coven'' and ''Apocalypse'', but it's not explained]].

| 802 | * WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler: In ''Apocalypse'', she calls out Cordelia for her willingness to go along with the requests of the warlocks. She's downright furious when she goes as far as to relinquish her title as Supreme to Langdon for completing the Seven Wonders]]. |

| 875 | * BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Marie accuses him of this, and it seems to be partly accurate judging from his reaction to getting kicked out by Cordelia. His father also picks up on this.]] |
| 876 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: He's supportive of Cordelia and wants to have a baby with her. [[spoiler:On the surface. He's a witch hunter in reality, and has only gotten close to the witches so he can kill them.]] |

Then it turns out that he's really working for an AncientConspiracy of witch hunters and that his alliance with Marie is an unauthorized action he did on his own initiative to take down both the Coven and Marie. And a part of him genuinely loves Cordelia and doesn't want her to get hurt in all of this.]] |

| 883 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Despite being raised to hate witches and being tasked to kill them, Hank grows to truly love Cordelia, to the point that he chooses to attack the voodoo witches as a last effort to protect her. He succeeds in taking down all of them but Marie, at the cost of his life.]] |
| 884 | * GunsAkimbo: [[spoiler:He knows that most voodoo magic is very ritualistic and requires time to work, so he resorts to this in order to catch Marie and her followers off-guard. It would have worked if he'd made sure to finish off Queenie.]] |
| 885 | * HiddenVillain: [[spoiler:In "Head," he ultimately is revealed to have been this for the first half of the series after he explains to his father that he has been secretly working behind the scenes to exacerbate tensions between the Salem and Voodoo witches so that they will be driven toward annihilating one another.]] |
| 886 | * InadequateInheritor: [[spoiler:Despite being a skilled gunman and fairly competent double agent, his father considers him to be this due to his inability to meet the standards of discretion and ruthlessness required of the witch hunter profession.]] |
| 887 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:When he shoots up Marie's salon, Queenie uses her voodoo powers and a gun he dropped to blow his brains out.]] |
| 888 | * MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: "Reynard" is a name for foxes in French folklore]]. |
| 889 | * TheStarscream: [[spoiler:He was always planning on betraying Marie and rampages through her hair salon at the end of "Head."]] |
| 890 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:He used to be a nice kid who loved his father, but also had huge conflicting feelings about being raised to kill people. His father's conditioning eventually got rid of what guilt he had--until he fell in love with Cordelia.]] |
| 891 | * WalkingSpoiler: Though he is a minor yet recurring character, it's very hard to describe whom Hank actually is, other than stating he is Cordelia's husband--which barely touches the surface. |
| 892 | * WellDoneSonGuy: To his father [[spoiler:Harrison Renard]]. |
| 893 | * TheWitchHunter: [[spoiler:He's a witch hunter hired by Marie the Voodoo Queen to kill the witches, having done it to nine so far. He's actually from a long line of witch hunters and was ready to go after Marie once he was done with the Salem witches, but is killed when he chooses to go after her in a last-ditch effort to protect Cordelia.]] |

By the story's present, he has become a ruthless and manipulative corporate kingpin who is all but consumed by his lust for more power. |
| 911 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: In order to accumulate the resources necessary to combat witches on a global scale, he played an active role in transforming the secret order to which he belongs into [[EvilInc a massive multinational corporation with ties to banking, arms dealing, and politics]].

| 949 | ---- |
| 950 | * AbusiveParents: Delphine had no qualms locking up her daughters with the slaves in the attic (and all the attendant horrors) to discipline them. |
| 951 | * AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear whether the version of her who appears in Hell and is tortured by Marie Laveau is the real soul of Borquita or an apparition created by Papa Legba, because as far as the viewers are aware, she didn't do anything deserving of being consigned to Hell. Even when she was helping out Delphine in the torture chamber, it was against her will. |
| 952 | * ButtMonkey: Every single scene Borquita's in (except maybe a couple where she's a mind-controlled zombie) has her subjected to verbal abuse, humiliation and/or physical torture by Marie Laveau or her own mother. |
| 953 | * CharacterDeath: She is [[spoiler:hanged by Marie]]. |
| 954 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: In her first (chronological) scene, Borquita can't bring herself to kill a chicken. Four years later, Delphine forces her to help out in the torture chamber despite her begging not to. |
| 955 | * InelegantBlubbering: Borquita does a lot of screaming and crying when she's taken to the chamber of horrors for plotting against Delphine, has her leg broken, and then gets told that she'll be left there for a year and forced to eat poop on Christmas morning. |
| 956 | * PosthumousCharacter: She's long-dead by the time the present events of the series begin. |
| 957 | * RunningGag: Writer Brian Juergens, who reviews the show for [[http://www.thebacklot.com The Backlot]], couldn't make out Borquita's name at first, so he called her something different in every episode synopsis before settling on "[[Series/MadTV Bon Qui Qui]]." |

| 968 | * DeathGlare: Pauline gives her mother hateful, angry looks when she's confronted over having sex with Bastien and when she's locked in the torture chamber. In the latter incident, her anger gives way to stunned fear after being told that she's going to be left there for a year. |
| 969 | * HollywoodHomely: She may have been talent-less, but when we see her in a flashback, she's actually fairly attractive. |
