| 13 | ->'''Dean:''' So you're only out for yourself, huh? It's all about number one?\ |
| 14 | '''Bela:''' Being a hunter is so much more noble? A bunch of obsessed, revenge-driven sociopaths trying to save a world that can't be saved?\ |
| 15 | '''Dean:''' Well, aren't you a glass half-full? |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Hunters in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' are humans who have decided to protect [[{{Masquerade}} unaware, normal people]] from supernatural beings, such as ghosts, vampires, and demons. They have usually lost someone close to them to a supernatural being, but in some cases they were [[FamilyBusiness raised in a hunting family]]. Most have a [[WalkingTheEarth nomadic lifestyle]], but they have a network to pass along information and have hangouts like Harvelle's Roadhouse in Nebraska. They find cases by searching newspapers and the Internet for abnormal events and patterns which suggest a supernatural etiology. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * ActionGirl: Female hunters, not male ones. |
| 20 | * TheAlcoholic: Many of them turn to [[DrowningMySorrows drinking]] when they find it hard to deal with their DarkAndTroubledPast and the stresses of hunting. |
| 21 | * BadassNormal: Sort of a requirement. You do need to be able to fight and kill monsters after all. |
| 22 | * BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Samuel Colt and Elliott Ness were both hunters. |
| 23 | * CrazyPrepared: Most hunters are portrayed as having extensive armories, including guns, knifes, [[SilverHasMysticPowers silver]], [[ColdIron iron]], [[HolyBurnsEvil holy water]], hex bags, and, of course, [[WeaksauceWeakness salt]]. |
| 24 | -->'''Rufus:''' Bobby, do you have a cranial saw in the car? |
| 25 | -->'''Bobby:''' Of course. |
| 26 | * CynicismCatalyst: Almost every hunter is motivated by grief or vengeance for a lost loved one, like the Winchesters by Mary, Bobby by Karen, Jo by Bill, Gordon by his sister, etc. |
| 27 | ** Averted by the occasional hunter group who primarily investigate reported supernatural phenomena to sate their own curiosity of the paranormal, such as the [[Characters/SupernaturalGhostfacers Ghostfacers]] and [[spoiler: [[Recap/SupernaturalS13E16ScoobyNatural Mystery Inc.]] Yes, ''THAT'' [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou Mystery Inc]].]] Also averted by Eliot Ness, who reacts with confusion when Dean automatically assumes he has lost a loved one to some kind of creature. Turns out he just discovered supernatural creatures exist one day and that they kill people, so he decided that killing them back was the right thing to do. |
| 28 | * DudeWheresMyReward: Hunters do not generally get paid or recognized for their work, since the public is largely unaware of what they do. |
| 29 | * FantasticRacism: Towards all supernatural beings. It's partially {{justified|Trope}}, seeing as how most of the creatures encountered on the show ''are'' evil (ones who don't kill people are less likely to draw attention to themselves), but even when they come across a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire, a hunter is more likely to shoot first, ask questions never. Some of them occasionally avert this. |
| 30 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: Sometimes, particularly with [[KnightTemplar Gordon]]. |
| 31 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: All hunters besides the main characters, Sam and Dean, have awesome adventures we never find out about. |
| 32 | * MartyrdomCulture: Their job is lonely, emotionally and physically destructive, and doesn't have much of a retirement package. As Bobby bluntly put it, the average death for a hunter is getting their guts ripped out at age 30. The alternative? Outliving what friends you still had and possibly ending up in a sanitarium. |
| 33 | * SmartPeopleKnowLatin: Most hunters are able to recite Latin incantations and exorcisms off the tops of their heads. Some are able to study ancient texts in Latin and other languages. |
| 34 | * VampireHunter: Any of them that encounters vampires. |
| 35 | * VikingFuneral: A hunter's funeral consists of burning the body on a pyre to prevent them from [[CameBackWrong Coming Back Wrong]]. |
| 36 | * WallOfWeapons: Most hunters have one of these in some form or other. |
| 37 | * WhoYouGonnaCall |
| 38 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Even the worst hunters are just trying to do their jobs to exterminate evil and save as many lives as possible. |
| 39 | * WorkingClassHero: American Hunters are decidedly blue collar. |

| 53 | Daniel is a hunter who lives in Manning, Colorado. He helped train John Winchester in hunting, but the two eventually parted on bad terms. Daniel also owned the Colt, which is able to kill almost any supernatural creature in one shot. He was killed by a pack of vampires in 2006. |
| 54 | ---- |
| 55 | * AncestralWeapon: It is likely that the saloon owner [[Recap/SupernaturalS06E18Frontierland Elkins in Sunrise, Wyoming in 1861]], came in possession of the Colt and it was passed down in the family. |
| 56 | * KilledOffForReal: In October of 2006. Dies in the teaser of the episode in which he's introduced. |
| 57 | * VampireHunter: He specialized in hunting vampires, alongside a few other hunters, and was so good at it that they were thought to be extinct by the time he retired. |

| 88 | |
| 89 | Bobby is a hunter who lives in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, who entered the world of hunting after his wife was possessed by a demon. He acts as a father figure to Sam and Dean, having taken care of them many times while their father was off hunting. He is a major part of the hunting community, running multiple phone lines and operations out of his house/salvage yard, where he offers safe haven and advice to other hunters. His library and knowledge about the supernatural is unmatched. He is shot and killed by Dick Roman in 2012, but lingers as a ghost for a short time before asking to be put to rest when he fears becoming a vengeful spirit. |
| 90 | ---- |
| 91 | * AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:His father was a drunk asshole who [[DomesticAbuse smacked his mom around]].]] |
| 92 | * ADeathInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:"Death's Door" shows Bobby's backstory, where he shot his father, an abusive alcoholic. Then Bobby passes away himself.]] |
| 93 | * AmbiguouslyBi: He did use tongue with [[spoiler:Crowley]], Though we're told this by [[spoiler:''[[ConsummateLiar Crowley]]'']], who may have just been needling him. He also says at one point "[[UnsettlingGenderReveal Did you know my first girlfriend turned out to be a--]]". In context, though, she could very well have been a monster. |
| 94 | * ArcWords: "You break everything you touch." |
| 95 | * AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:Went from Hell straight to Heaven in Season 8 as part of the second trial for Sam.]] |
| 96 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Courtesy of a "new-and-improved" Castiel in "Swan Song". [[KilledOffForReal He later gets shot dead by Dick Roman]].]] |
| 97 | * BadassBookworm: Sam is great at research, but Bobby can run circles around ''anyone'' when it comes to finding answers. Helps that over the years he's amassed a very impressive collection of books on the supernatural to stock in his library. |
| 98 | * BigGood: Always was and always will be. |
| 99 | * BookSmart: Despite being a junk dealer, he has an enormous well of knowledge and can read texts in multiple languages. |
| 100 | * BreakoutCharacter: Bobby appeared in ''one episode'' in the first season as a stand-in for [[SassyBlackWoman Missouri Mosely]]. He proved so popular that he appeared in five episodes in the next season and became the third main character alongside the Winchesters for the next four seasons. [[spoiler:Even after he was killed in Season 7, his popularity has caused the writers to work in ways for him to still make an appearance every season afterwards, allowing him to continue to hold the distinction of being the only other character aside from Sam and Dean to appear in every season of the series.]] |
| 101 | * CallingTheOldManOut: Bobby gets one against [[spoiler:the memory of his dead father]] in "Death's Door". |
| 102 | * CatchPhrase: |
| 103 | ** "Idjits." [[spoiler:Also his [[PreMortemCatchphrase last words]].]] |
| 104 | ** He also uses "Balls!" as his go-to expletive. |
| 105 | * TheConfidant: Sam, Dean, and occasionally Castiel often confide things in Bobby that they don't tell the others. |
| 106 | * CoolOldGuy: The oldest-looking of the main cast. |
| 107 | * CrazyPrepared: He slips all his guests holy water in case they're demons and he made and hid copies of all his irreplaceable books, ''just in case'' they were ever destroyed. Bobby lampshades this in "Let It Bleed" by calling himself a "paranoid bastard". Taken to an insane degree when he [[spoiler:traps a Reaper in "Death's Door" with ingredients found in his memories]]. |
| 108 | * ADayInTheLimelight: "Weekend at Bobby's". |
| 109 | * DeadpanSnarker: [[spoiler:Temporarily becomes a DisabledSnarker in Season 5]]. |
| 110 | * DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Crowley coaxes him into making one at the end of "The Devil You Know" to magically locate Death. When Crowley reneges on his promise of immediately returning Bobby's soul, Mr. Singer beats him at his own game and forces him to break the contract in "Weekend at Bobby's".]] |
| 111 | %%* DeathByFlashback |
| 112 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:"Death's Door" focuses on Bobby fighting his way out of a coma to pass on information about the leviathans.]] |
| 113 | * GoodIsNotNice: A grumpy, irritable alcoholic, but unquestionably a good guy. |
| 114 | * GrumpyOldMan: Bobby's curmudgeonly personality mostly comes off charming, unless the situation is very serious. |
| 115 | * HandicappedBadass: In Season 5. [[spoiler:He gets better]]. |
| 116 | * HesBack: [[spoiler:Confirmed by Beaver himself on [[https://twitter.com/jumblejim/status/360605702986797056 Twitter]]. Later turned out to have been a form of LyingCreator since it technically wasn't the real Bobby, just a vision of him.]] |
| 117 | * HonoraryUncle: In a flashback in "A Very Supernatural Christmas", young Sam calls him "Uncle Bobby". |
| 118 | * IAmNotMyFather: He refused to have children of his own because he was afraid that he [[spoiler:would abuse them the way he himself was abused]]. |
| 119 | * InformationBroker: Bobby is the hub of the loose network of American hunters. If there's lore that needs researching, or weird spell ingredients that need digging up, he's your guy. |
| 120 | * InsultOfEndearment: "Idjits". Of course [[ZigzaggedTrope he'll also say that]] when Dean and Sam have genuinely done something dumb. |
| 121 | %%* JerkAss |
| 122 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As much as he may snap at the boys, and he may not be very friendly to Castiel at times, it's obvious that behind that gruff exterior, he adores Sam and Dean. Hell, he treats them better than their own father did, and tells them when they're in the wrong. |
| 123 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:He dies of a headshot wound mid-Season 7. His ghost hung around for awhile, but moved on in the finale when he started turning into a vengeful spirit. Not that it's stopped him from ''still'' appearing OnceASeason through the afterlife (although in Season 9 he was a hallucination). This doesn't apply in the post-apocalyptic universe, though, where he's still alive.]] |
| 124 | * KillTheOnesYouLove: Poor Bobby goes through this on a fairly regular basis: he first got into hunting [[spoiler:after being forced to murder his demonically-possessed wife. Then she came back as a zombie whom he eventually had to kill again. Then he himself is possessed and forced to kill his estranged best friend]]. |
| 125 | * MisterExposition: Admire the man's dedication: you can't stop him from passing on information related to your EvilPlan even if [[spoiler:you put him ''in a coma''.]] |
| 126 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:His reaction upon realizing he's becoming a vengeful spirit and almost killed Sam]]. |
| 127 | * OnlySaneMan: He's the only character who can take a step back and see the bigger picture. Up to a certain point anyway; he starts to lose his perspective towards the end of Season 4. |
| 128 | * ParentalSubstitute: Bobby makes it very clear that, [[LikeASonToMe to him]], Sam and Dean are ''his'' boys. |
| 129 | * PapaWolf: Though technically not their parent, Bobby is willing to go to extreme lengths to protect Sam and Dean, even as going as far as to [[spoiler:[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu trap a reaper]] with his memories. While ''[[DyingMomentOfAwesome dying]]''.]] |
| 130 | * RealMenWearPink: Apparently, Bobby gets monthly pedicures. |
| 131 | * TheReliableOne: As close as you can get to it in this show, anyway. Bobby almost always comes through for the boys in a pinch and always tells them the truth when they need to hear it. |
| 132 | * RevolversAreJustBetter: His handgun of choice is a Colt Peacemaker. He may just have a fondness for "cowboy" guns, as he also uses a lever-action rifle. |
| 133 | * SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:As a kid, he shot his abusive father to protect his abused mom, and buried the body behind the shed. His mom was horrified by what he'd done]]. When an older Bobby remembers this, he remarks, [[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike "This is the first time you learn that they never say 'thank you' when you save 'em"]]. |
| 134 | * SignatureHeadgear: Always wears a trucker cap. |
| 135 | * SmarterThanYouLook: Gruff, trucker-hat-wearing Bobby has a folksy drawl, but he also speaks multiple languages, can read cuneiform, owns an extensive lore library and is the boys' go-to guy for deep research. |
| 136 | * SouthernFriedGenius: Don't let the folksy drawl fool you; Bobby is a walking compendium of supernatural lore. |
| 137 | * SpiritAdvisor: [[spoiler:In the latter half of Season 7, complete with Yoda reference.]] |
| 138 | * TeamDad: Sam and Dean see him as a father figure. |
| 139 | * UnlikelyHero: Part of Bobby's appeal is that he was so ordinary before the ordeal with his wife. But when the call came, he transformed his life and becomes a strong, brave, and brilliant hero. |
| 140 | * WhatTheHellHero: Isn't afraid to call out the brothers on their more rash decisions and their moments of {{Wangst}}, and does so often. |

| 146 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ellen_harvelle_sn_1413.jpg]] |
| 147 | !!!Portrayed by Samantha Ferris. |
| 148 | !!!First appears in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E02EverybodyLovesAClown "Everybody Loves A Clown" (S02, E02)]] |
| 149 | ->''Now, Dean, they say you can't protect your loved ones forever. ''[beat]'' Well, I say screw that. What else is family for?'' |
| 150 | |
| 151 | Ellen is a no-nonsense hunter who runs the Roadhouse, a hunter bar in Nebraska. She is a friend of John's and quickly becomes a mother figure to his sons. Although Ellen doesn't want her daughter put in danger by hunting, she eventually becomes Jo's hunting partner to keep an eye on her. Ellen dies in 2009 when she kills herself and a group of hellhounds to clear a path to kill Lucifer. |
| 152 | ---- |
| 153 | * ActionMom: Starting in the second season finale. |
| 154 | * AngerBornOfWorry: Seems to be her default response to her loved ones risking themselves. Remember the end of "No Exit"? Admittedly, part of her anger was not only that Jo risked her life, but also that she'd gone behind Ellen's back to do it and then got Sam and Dean to lie to her about it. |
| 155 | * BattleCouple: She may have been one with her husband, Bill, before he died. In an alternate universe, she's married to [[BadassBookworm Bobby]]. |
| 156 | * BrokenBird: {{Averted|Trope}}--Ellen is cautious rather than jaded, despite how hard her life has been. |
| 157 | * DistaffCounterpart: To [[CrusadingWidower John]] and [[TeamDad Bobby]]. |
| 158 | * DrinkingContest: Gets into one with Castiel in "Abandon All Hope...". Suffice it to say, she probably lost. |
| 159 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Her HeroicSacrifice in "Abandon All Hope...", taking a whole building full of Hellhounds down with her. Too bad it turns out to be for nothing.]] |
| 160 | * FacingTheBulletsOneLiner: [[spoiler:"You can go straight back to Hell, you ugly ''bitch''!"]] |
| 161 | * GoodGuyBar: The Roadhouse, a saloon hunters meet to drink and exchange information. It also seems to house homeless hunters; the Harvelles live there along with Ash, and Ellen offers the Winchesters a room and tells a random hunter he'll have to sleep in his car that night when Jo swindles him. [[spoiler:Demons burn the place down in the Season 2 finale]]. |
| 162 | * GoodParents: Even taking into account her (understandable) over-sheltering of her daughter from the CrapsackWorld they live in, Ellen is one of the best parents in the series, considering the cast's DysfunctionJunction. |
| 163 | * HappilyMarried: With Bill before his death; when telling Dean about her father, Jo mentions that Ellen would be sour and pissed the second he left and only start smiling again when he came back. She had this with [[spoiler:Bobby]] in "My Heart Will Go On"--a very ''gruff'' version of a happy marriage because of the recent death of [[spoiler:Rufus]], but a happy one nonetheless. |
| 164 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In "Abandon All Hope...", she blows herself up along with a number of Hellhounds to give the boys a shot at killing [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]]. Too bad the Colt didn't work on Lucifer anyway, making their plan doomed from the start.]] |
| 165 | * InelegantBlubbering: Although she'd already been crying at the time, it only turns into this when she [[spoiler:realizes Jo has already died]], although she still manages to pull herself together long enough to get the job done. It's widely regarded as one of the biggest {{Tearjerker}}s in the series; considering how depressing this show is, that's saying something. |
| 166 | %%* InformationBroker |
| 167 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Blows herself up as part of a SenselessSacrifice in "Abandon All Hope...". She comes back through TimeTravel in "My Heart Will Go On", but things return to normal after Balthazar undoes the changes he made.]] |
| 168 | * MamaBear: [[WordOfGod The losses she has gone through in her life have made her protective of Jo as well as Sam and Dean]]. |
| 169 | * MyBelovedSmother: In Jo's opinion, at least, she's a bit overprotective. |
| 170 | * TheNotLoveInterest: For all the Jo has UnresolvedSexualTension with Dean, the most important person in her life is Ellen. Ellen drives much of Jo's story, they become hunting partners, Ellen's the one Jo's most worried about in "Good God Y'All" and [[spoiler: Jo dies Ellen's arms after hearing her mother say she loves her]] |
| 171 | * PutOnABus: For Seasons 3 and 4. She was supposed to come back for two episodes in the third season, but negotiations fell through with her actress. TheBusCameBack in Season 5. |
| 172 | * RetiredBadass: It isn't until the second season finale that she gets back into an active hunting lifestyle. |
| 173 | * ShootTheHostage: Ellen tries (and fails) to talk her comrades into shooting [[spoiler:Jake]] in "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part Two" when [[MindControl he has her pointing a gun at her own head, ready to shoot, if they do]]. |
| 174 | * SinsOfOurFathers: {{Subverted|Trope}}; unlike Jo, Ellen doesn't feel any anger towards [[spoiler:Sam and Dean about John]] because she has had more time to come to terms with Bill's death. |
| 175 | * TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:She waits until the hellhounds are breathing down her neck before she blows up both herself and them to stop them from pursuing Sam and Dean and ruining the mission to kill Lucifer as well as to avenge Jo.]] |
| 176 | * TeamMom: Less explicit than Bobby's TeamDad status, but she does take on a mother-figure role to Sam and Dean. |
| 177 | * {{Tsundere}}: What does she do after seeing Dean after three years? Hugs him in relief, then slaps him for not telling her he was alive. Also, Dean is legitimately scared of what she'd do to him if Jo got hurt on his watch. |
| 178 | --->'''Dean:''' Besides, if I ran off with you I think your mother might kill me. |
| 179 | --->'''Jo:''' You're afraid of ''my mother''? |

| 193 | ---- |
| 194 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Never fit in at college and [[JustAKid was constantly told she couldn't/shouldn't be a hunter]]. |
| 195 | * {{Backstory}}: Her online blog revealed what the show didn't get into, like when her dad died, why her mom hates [[TreacherousAdvisor Gordon]], and Jo getting involved with a hunter named Rick. |
| 196 | * TheBait: She ends up being this in "No Exit", "Born Under a Bad Sign", and "Abandon All Hope...", setting off Ellen's MamaBear instincts, especially considering [[spoiler:[[TurnOutLikeHisFather Bill was killed when he played bait on a hunt with John]]]]. |
| 197 | * BlackEyesOfEvil: In "Good God, Y'All". [[spoiler:Actually a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]], because Jo was never possessed and War was only making it ''look'' like she was to incite murder]]. |
| 198 | * BrattyTeenageDaughter: The most common complaint fans had about Jo was that she seemed too immature to be a hunter or Dean's LoveInterest. Later episodes tried to [[CharacterDevelopment fix this]]. |
| 199 | * BreakTheCutie: The kidnapping and her learning more about her father's death in "No Exit" and the [[TraumaCongaLine entirety]] of her appearance in "Born Under a Bad Sign". |
| 200 | * BrutalHonesty: She calls 'em like she sees 'em, from quietly admitting [[AllLoveIsUnrequited Dean won't call her]] to [[spoiler:pointing out to the others that, hello, she's ''dying'']]. |
| 201 | * CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: {{Justified|Trope}} in her debut due to [[BreakTheCutie the circumstances surrounding it]]: [[HandsomeLech Dean]] starts to hit on her, but the stress and grief he's dealing with at the time makes it hard for him to follow up on and he stops half-way through with a "never mind". Jo is surprised he's not as sleazy as the other guys who swing by the Roadhouse and develops more respect for him in the process. |
| 202 | * ClickHello: When the Winchesters sneak into the Roadhouse for the first time, Jo holds Dean at gun-point while her mom takes care of Sam. |

| 212 | * FauxActionGirl: In Season 2. She [[TookALevelInBadass takes a level in badass]] by Season 5. |
| 213 | * FightingYourFriend: [[spoiler:The MonsterOfTheWeek in "Defending Your Life" forces Jo to try to kill Dean. The worst part is that [[AndIMustScream she's fully aware of what she's doing, but can't stop herself from doing it]].

| 282 | |
| 283 | Gordon is a vampire hunter who enjoys his job a bit too much and has a extreme black-and-white view of good and evil which boils down to anything supernatural needing to die, even if it's harmless. When he learns of Sam's psychic powers and possible role in the Apocalypse, he becomes obsessed with killing him. He gets turned into a vampire and is beheaded by Sam in 2007. |

| 292 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: He has probably one of ''the'' most brutal death scenes in the entire series. |

Both got into hunting as a result of being forced to [[KillTheOnesYouLove kill a family member who had become a monster]], both become a paternal figure to Dean, and both end up [[spoiler:becoming monsters themselves and subsequently ultimately accept that they need to be killed.]] |

| 307 | ** Season 6 revealed that he was even right about [[spoiler:the vampires that the Winchesters made an enemy out of Gordon to defend. They all (including Lenore) gave into their hunger for humans for one reason or another]]. Though, to be fair, that was implied to be Eve's corrupting influence on them, at least to an extent. |

| 319 | * TreacherousAdvisor: To Jo. The source of Ellen's distrust and dislike from him is because he used her daughter as bait to catch a rawhead. Jo didn't believe it, and secretly kept in contact with him. |

| 748 | !!!First appears in [[Recap/SupernaturalS09E04SlumberParty "Slumber Party" (S09, E04)]] |
| 749 | ->'''[[Characters/SupernaturalMenOfLetters Jenkins]]:''' [[Creator/LFrankBaum Your father]] would be very proud. Did you know that he-- |
| 750 | ->'''Dorothy:''' --wasted my time with his words, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't do the same. |
| 751 | |
| 752 | Yes, she's ''[[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz that]]'' [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz Dorothy]], but not the one you know from the books or the movies. The daughter of L. Frank Baum, the author of the ''Literature/LandOfOz'' series, Dorothy is a hard-bitten hunter with little use for the Men of Letters' academic dithering or sexist attitudes. After capturing the Wicked Witch and bringing her back from Oz in 1935, she and the Witch both vanish after a fight in the Men of Letters' bunker in Lebanon, Kansas...only to be released by the Winchesters in late 2013. |
| 753 | ---- |
| 754 | * ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:Dorothy returns to Oz at the end of the episode to resume leading LaResistance, taking Charlie with her]]. |
| 755 | * DarkerAndEdgier: That image of Dorothy you grew up with as a WideEyedIdealist in braids and a gingham dress? Yeah, this isn't her. |
| 756 | * DeadpanSnarker |
| 757 | -->'''Haggerty:''' Wait. You captured her all by yourself?\ |
| 758 | '''Dorothy:''' Yes, despite all my lady parts, I managed to capture the Wicked Witch. |
| 759 | * DefrostingIceQueen: She eventually warms up to Charlie. |
| 760 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: Subverted. For having been locked in a SoulJar for nearly 80 years, she has virtually no adjustment period to the present day compared to Henry Winchester. Of course, hunting evil creatures doesn't change much over the years. |
| 761 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: Her preferred method of combat. |
| 762 | %%* KnightInSourArmor |
| 763 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Dorothy's appearance was designed to resemble Amelia Earhart. |
| 764 | * RebelLeader: In Oz. |
| 765 | * {{Tomboy}}: Dresses in practical trousers and a leather jacket, and by her own admission she's no good in heels. (Besides, wearing a dead lady's shoes just seemed tacky.) |
| 766 | * WellDoneSonGuy: Averted. She remains bitter at her father for neglecting her in favor of his work with the Men of Letters and then romanticizing the trauma she endured in Oz. |

| 778 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Her previous two episodes were minor supporting roles, but in "Pac-Man Fever", we learn a lot about Charlie herself. |
| 779 | * ActionGirl: By her second appearance. She wins a LARP-fight against a male knight pretty handily, and in her third she's got ImprobableAimingSkills (though it was technically a simulation). |
| 780 | * ArtifactAlias: The Winchesters keep calling her "Charlie" even after learning her true name. |
| 781 | * AscendedFanboy: Averted at first. Despite having a clear admiration for {{Action Girl}}s as well as a love for all things Fantasy and Sci-Fi, Charlie is extremely reluctant to put herself in danger and only does what she knows she is capable of doing (hacking and corporate espionage). Played straight in her later appearances, where she's become a hunter. |

| 802 | * {{Expy}}: Intelligent, quirky, red-headed, lesbian geek? Are we talking about Charlie or [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Willow]]? |
| 803 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In "Dark Dynasty", she chooses not to obey Dean when he asks her to give to Eldon Stein her laptop containing the data of the Book of the Damned. She breaks her computer and faces Stein.]] |
| 804 | * HiddenDepths: ''Pac-Man Fever'' reveals that she can handle a gun and hit a target straight in the head without blinking. [[ObfuscatingStupidity No explanation where that particular skill came from.]] She also has a habit of rerouting corporate funds toward various causes she cares about… [[spoiler:including paying the hospital bills for her mother, who's been comatose since she was 12]]. |
| 805 | * ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Blamed herself for a car accident that killed her father and left her mother comatose because she had begged them to pick her up from a sleepover after she was frightened by the movie her friends were watching. Dean coaxes her out of that.]] |
| 806 | * InterspeciesRomance: Falls in love at first sight with [[spoiler: a fairy named Gilda]]. |

| 814 | '''Charlie:''' "As in, he's not a ''[[SorryImGay girl]]''." |
| 815 | * PlayfulHacker: Some people surf the net when no-one's looking at work. Charlie diverts funds from the Republican party to Animal Lovers. |
| 816 | * PopCulturedBadass: Charlie loves sci-fi, fantasy, and especially ''Literature/HarryPotter''. |
| 817 | * PutOnABus: Pretty much every episode with her ends with her going off someplace to not be seen for the rest of the season, [[spoiler:until "Dark Dynasty" where she's KilledOffForReal, that is.]] |
| 818 | * RefusalOfTheCall: Played straight, then averted. |
| 819 | ** Charlie was very reluctant to put herself in danger and after her part is done, [[PutOnABus puts herself on a bus]] and tells Sam and Dean never to contact her again. [[TheBusCameBack That didn't last long]] after they find out she had been [=LARPing=] as a Queen where murders start to happen. |
| 820 | ** By the time she came back in "Pac Man Fever", she had fully went into monster lore and read the "Supernatural" books. She even called herself a Hunter In Training. |

| 823 | * ShowSomeLeg: |
| 824 | ** As noted above, Dean tells her to flirt past a security guard. To his credit, Dean takes the time to check and see if the guard has ever shown interest in her, before telling her to flirt past him. |
| 825 | --> '''Dean:''' Pretend he has boobs.\ |
| 826 | '''Charlie:''' ''(looks disgusted)'' Worse. |

| 828 | -->'''Charlie:''' I feel dirty.\ |
| 829 | '''Dean:''' You and me both, sister. |
| 830 | ** She does the same in "Pac Man Fever" while trying out sexy clothing to pose as an FBI agent. |
| 831 | * ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Her catchphrase. |
| 832 | * TomboyishName: Charlie. It's not her real name, though. [[spoiler:We learn her surname is Middleton in "Pac Man Fever" and her first name is Celeste in "There's No Place Like Home".]] |
| 833 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler:Dean's reaction to her death is to muse that even though she was a competent hunter and had proven her ability to survive worse in the past, she was simply too good a person to live in the CrapsackWorld of the latter series of the show.]] |
| 834 | * UltimateJobSecurity: Discussed and invoked. Charlie figured the best way to get away with her illegal activities was to make herself as indispensable as possible. |
| 835 | * WhatWouldXDo: Sam motivates Charlie to go through her dangerous mission by asking her what [[Literature/HarryPotter Hermione]] would do. |

| 859 | |
| 860 | Rudy is a fellow hunter who helps the Winchesters with research during the time they--mostly Sam--are trying to get rid of the Mark. He calls Dean for help on a vampire case when the Mark is particularly strong, which doesn't wind up working very well for him. |
| 861 | ---- |
| 862 | * HostageSituation: He winds up getting taken hostage by the vampire nest. Unfortunately for him Dean isn't in a negotiating mood. |
| 863 | * TheLoad: Dean suggests that Rudy is "playing dress-up out here" and should just go home. That's the Mark talking, but the audience doesn't get much evidence that he's wrong. |

She lived with her parents in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac,_Illinois Pontiac, Illinois,]] until [[Characters/SupernaturalCastiel Castiel]] possesses her father. When demons take her family hostage, she briefly serves as Castiel's vessel. She reappears some six years later as a teenage delinquent who gets rescued by Castiel and the Winchesters from trouble. Becomes a hunter in Season 11. |
| 876 | |
| 877 | ---- |
| 878 | |
| 879 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Her interaction with Kaia in "Wayward Sisters" suggests more than a friendship going on between the two (or at least, from Claire's point of view). [[spoiler: "The Scar" confirms that Kaia was Claire's first love.]] |
| 880 | * AttemptedRape: Almost raped by a criminal as repayment for an older friend's debts. |
| 881 | * BrokenBird: In Season 10 due to ParentalAbandonment. |
| 882 | * CharacterDevelopment: Blames Castiel and the Winchesters for screwing up her life and shuns anyone who tries to help her. By the end of her third appearance, she has eased up a bit and agrees to accept help, but won't budge out until [[spoiler: she reunites with her mother in time for her death]], at which point she forgives Castiel and decides to join Jody and Alex's makeshift family. Even after this, she has difficulty adjusting to normal life, but [[spoiler: her experience of being bitten by a werewolf]] has made her contemplate her past actions. By Season 12, she has fully embraced them as family. |
| 883 | * DaddysGirl: Loved dearly by Jimmy. |
| 884 | * {{Delinquents}}: In [[Recap/SupernaturalS10E09TheThingsWeLeftBehind "The Things We Left Behind" (S10, E09)]], Claire is in a solitary cell in a juvenile center after running away. |
| 885 | * DelinquentHair: Sports this hairstyle since Season 10. |
| 886 | * DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:As Jimmy's daughter, she's a fitting vessel for Castiel, who uses her briefly. He would have used her for longer had Jimmy not bargained to become his vessel again]]. |
| 887 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: Loses her father and [[spoiler: her mother]], but eventually comes to terms it. She is adopted by Jody Mills, forming her own makeshift family and finds purpose in becoming a hunter. |
| 888 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: She wants to be a hunter, no matter what. |
| 889 | * OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: [[spoiler: Becomes the first person to be cured from lycanthropy after she's bitten in Season 12.]] |
| 890 | * ParentalAbandonment: Effectively done when Jimmy agrees to become Castiel's vessel. Her mother later leaves to discover herself. [[spoiler: As of Season 10, she is fully orphaned.]] |
| 891 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Alex's blue. |
| 892 | * SiblingYinYang: With Alex. As noted above, Claire is rebellious, antisocial, and will use every opportunity to train herself as a hunter. In contrast, Alex actively repels the supernatural world as she wants to earn a normal life that she never had. By Season 12, Claire is in suspension from college, while Alex is dutifully studying at a nursing school. Their relationship has been likened to a DistaffCounterpart to Dean/Sam. |

| 894 | * StockholmSyndrome: Develops this with her "father", Randy, to the point that she blames the Winchesters for his death despite the fact that he sold her as a sex slave to pay a debt. |
| 895 | * TimeShiftedActor: Is played by Sydney Imbeau as a young girl and Kathryn Newton as a teenager. |
| 896 | * TookALevelInBadass: Grows from being a normal kid to a teenage delinquent to a trainee hunter. |
| 897 | * {{Troll}}: Responds to Alex's accusations of distancing herself from real life by bringing up the latter's "real life": [[RefugeInAudacity that she's going to make out with her boyfriend in her adoptive mother's cabin]]. What follows is a ''very'' awkward TheTalk. |
| 898 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: She's a very kind and sweet girl the first time she appears. By Season 10, years of abandonment by her parents have turned her bitter and selfish, though she does eventually get better. |

| 907 | An Irish-born hunter Sam and Dean meet while on the hunt for a Banshee. She is eventually killed by the British Men of Letters, but is brought BackFromTheDead by a magic spell. Shows romantic chemistry with Sam both before and after her death, as well as her resurrection. |
| 908 | |
| 909 | ---- |
| 910 | |
| 911 | * AccidentalMurder: She's targeted by the British Men of Letters for killing their junior agent Renny Rawlings, which only happened because the demon Dagon dematerialized at just the right time and she ended up killing Renny instead. |
| 912 | * ActionGirl: Female hunters tend to be this, and she's been a very successful hunter. |
| 913 | * BackFromTheDead: She's killed by the British Men of Letters in "[[Recap/SupernaturalS12E21TheresSomethingAboutMary There's Something About Mary]]", but comes back as a ghost in "[[Recap/SupernaturalS15E06GoldenTime Golden Time]]". Then she's cured of being a ghost by a revival spell she and Sam find in Rowena's old lair. [[spoiler: Chuck later reveals that he placed the spell in their path so that she could be his eyes and ears inside the bunker]]. |
| 914 | * BarredFromTheAfterlife: She's barred from entering heaven due to being DraggedOffToHell by the {{Hellhound}} who killed her. She first approaches Sam as a ghost knowing he's friends with angels and if can "pull some strings for her". He can't, but he still helps her by bringing her BackFromTheDead. |
| 915 | * DefrostingIceQueen: She clashes with the Winchesters at first due to a misunderstanding, and even when that's settled she's still standoffish towards them due to her IWorkAlone style. She gradually accepts Dean as a very good friend and Sam as possibly more. |
| 916 | * DisabledSnarker: She's not above joking about her deafness, teasing Sam that he'll have a hard time calling her when they're talking about keeping contact. |
| 917 | * DraggedOffToHell: Due to being killed by a {{Hellhound}}, her soul was dragged out to hell by the hound, and she remained there until the Rupture to hell happened, allowing Eileen to escape. |
| 918 | * HandicappedBadass: Doesn't let her deafness stop her from being a hunter. |
| 919 | * IWorkAlone: She has friends she sometimes works with, but is wary of any attachments that could slow her down. |
| 920 | * KilledOffScreen: Twice. After her first death, Sam gets a call from Jody that she is dead and identifies her body. She's furthemore one of the first people to be [[spoiler:ReducedToDust by Chuck in "[[Recap/SupernaturalS15E18Despair Despair]]", although she doesn't appear in the episode itself. Sam only knows she's gone because her texting suddenly stops and [[NoBodyLeftBehind he finds her phone on the front lawn of her house]]. She's returned to life ''again'', like everyone else by the season finale]]. |
| 921 | * MaybeEverAfter: While it's shown that Sam got married at some point after his and Dean's final case, since the only time we see Sam's wife is afar, it's left ambiguous if this person is Eileen (as she was his current LoveInterest at the end of the series). |
| 922 | * NakedOnRevival: As a ghost she still has her clothes on when she enters the bathtub for the revival ritual. When the spell is done, she [[SexySurfacingShot surfaces from the water completely naked]], albeit with her [[ToplessnessFromTheBack back to the camera]] while Sam politely turns around until she wraps herself in a ModestyTowel. |
| 923 | * ParentalAbandonment: Both of her parents were killed by a Banshee when she was just a baby. And her ParentalSubstitute ''also'' ended up dying of cancer when Eileen was 16. |
| 924 | * ParentalSubstitute: She was adopted by a hunter named Lillian O'Grady after her parents were killed by the Banshee Lillian was hunting. She raised and trained to be a hunter by her. |
| 925 | * PeoplePuppets: In "[[Recap/SupernaturalS15E09TheTrap The Trap]]", Chuck can control Eileen's body like a marionette, forcing her first to torture Sam for him, and then to fight Dean and Cas. But she's still aware the entire time and CanOnlyMoveTheEyes in obvious panic. |
| 926 | * PutOnABus: Post-revival she lives in the Winchester bunker for a while, but she leaves [[spoiler:after Chuck uses her as an unwitting spy and an unwilling torturer (against Sam)]]. |
| 927 | * TerseTalker: Her sentences and bits of dialogue tend to be short, in part because of her hearing impairment. |
| 928 | * UnwittingPawn: Chuck reveals that he deliberately let Sam resurrect Eileen so he could [[TrojanHorse use her as a spy in the Bunker]]. |
| 929 | * UnresolvedSexualTension: She and Sam have some romantic chemistry both before and after her death, but [[spoiler:Chuck taking control of her throws a wrench in their relationship]]. Later, she and Sam go on an offscreen date in "[[Recap/SupernaturalS15E14LastHoliday Last Holiday]]", but it is unclear how their date went. |
| 930 | * YouKilledMyFather: She spent most of her life hunting down the Banshee that killed her parents. She gets her revenge in her introductory episode, when she manages to kill the Banshee with the Winchester's help. |
