14
15	Jordan's parents. They are sweet and kind, in contrast to their daughter's more tough and tomboyish self. They're both heartbroken to discover [[spoiler: that their daughter turned into a murderer and committed suicide]] but after a year, that might change...
16	----
17	* AgentMulder: The two don't seem to object to the possibility that [[spoiler: their daughter is talking to them from beyond the grave]]. Perhaps justified because they would be looking for any way to be [[spoiler: reunited with her]].
18	* BearerOfBadNews: [[spoiler: They become this to Dianna when they inform her of what the kids found out about Mara's DarkSecret: She cuts herself and likely has an eating disorder. Dianna can't convey anything but a simple StunnedSilence]].
19	* BirdsOfAFeather: They get along very well and are alike.
20	* FeminineMotherTomboyishDaughter: Lizzie is pretty nice, soft and calm. The polar opposite of Jordan.
21	* FriendToAllChildren: Both of them.

23	* HandOnWomb: [[spoiler: Lizzie is revealed to be pregnant in "Do It Yourself"]].

26	* {{Housewife}}: Lizzie.
27	* IntergenerationalFriendship: With their daughter's friends.
28	* LikeParentUnlikeChild: Neither Daniel nor Lizzie are hotheaded like Jordan. In the sequel, she starts to become more like them.
29	* NiceGuy / NiceGirl: Both of them are very kind.
30	* OpenMindedParent: Once they find out about it, both of them are accepting of [[spoiler: Jordan's bisexuality and the fact that she has to live as a ghost now]].
31	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Due to the events of the first book, [[spoiler: they lose their only daughter to suicide]].
32	* ParentsAsPeople: Naturally, they get more focus on their actual lives.
33	* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: They were the first ones to know about Jordan coming back as a ghost as well as Eliza being smarter than she appears to be]].
34	* UnseenNoMore: They were only briefly mentioned in the first book by Jordan.

43
44	Mara's working mother. She struggles with her family everyday with her anxious daughter, deadbeat husband and delinquent son.
45	----
46	* AngerBornOfWorry: Her whole relationship with her son Xavier is basically built on this trope.
47	* AwfulWeddedLife: Just look at her husband below.
48	* BeneathTheMask: Oh, how hard she must be trying to seem at least sane when she goes to her job...
49	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's not afraid to call Jack out whenever she deems it necessary.
50	* TheDogBitesBack: After learning about [[spoiler: Mara's SelfHarm and her eating disorder]] that was all thanks to Jack, she resolves to [[spoiler: divorce him]] and even [[spoiler: kicks him out of the house]].
51	* EarlyBirdCameo: In the first book.
52	* FeminineMotherTomboyishDaughter: Not as apparent as the case with Jordan and her mother but still qualifies.
53	* FriendToAllChildren: In contrast to [[ChildHater her husband]].
54	* FoolishHusbandResponsibleWife: PlayedForDrama. She's the only breadwinner of the house while Jack is lazy and abusive.
55	* GoodIsNotSoft: She's a nice woman indeed, but can be harsh when needed. Especially where her husband is concerned.
56	* GoodParents: She's very loving towards Mara.
57	* HeroicBSoD: Undergoes this when [[spoiler: Mara disappears and even worse later when we find out [[BungledSuicide why]]]].
58	* IntergenerationalFriendship: She's probably the closest parent to the kids aside from Norman and Daniel and Lizzie.
59	* ItsAllMyFault: She blames herself for [[spoiler: not seeing Mara's various struggles once they're revealed]]. It's true that Mara went out of her way to hide them from everyone but naturally, Dianna would feel this way, being her mother.
60	* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: She's a NiceGirl like both her daughters.
61	* MamaBear: She would do anything for Mara.
62	* NiceGirl: It's easy to see where Mara gets it.
63	* NoAccountingForTaste: It's still a mystery how and why Dianna is still married to Jack.
64	* ParentalObliviousness: An example where the parent feels guilty about said obliviousness. Understandable since it's [[spoiler: her daughter's DarkSecret]] she was oblivious to.
65	* ParentsAsPeople: Naturally.
66	* ParentWithNewParamour: If Kata is indeed not Jack's daughter, going by the latter's own words, then Dianna would be this for Kata.
67	* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Jack's Red.
68	* ShipperOnDeck: Needless to say, she approves of Mike's relationship with her daughter. She also seems to be happy about Kata's engagement to Amanda.

76
77	The only parent who's a full-on JerkAss. There's nothing pleasant about him, to say the least.
78	----
79	* AbusiveDad: The only one to be this out of everyone else.
80	* AbusiveSpouse: And how.
81	* AdultsAreUseless: While most adults avert this here, Jack plays it straight.

83	* TheDreaded: To his own family, and anyone else aware of him.
84	* EarlyBirdCameo: In the first book.

87	* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: He's singlehandedly responsible for Mara's SelfHarm tendencies and possible eating disorder, all due to his DomesticAbuse and ParentalNeglect]].
88	* HatedByAll: You don't have to look very far to understand why.
89	* HateSink: Easily the most detestable parent.
90	* HairTriggerTemper: His anger is an unwanted outcome.
91	* IHaveNoDaughter: He says this about Kata due to her being a LipstickLesbian.
92	* {{Jerkass}}: Beyond the measure of any doubt. He's abusive, controlling and temperamental.
93	* KnightOfCerebus: Jack's scenes are played very seriously and things take a dark turn whenever he shows up.
94	* LackOfEmpathy: He chastises Mara for [[spoiler: visiting Jordan's grave]] because that makes her a crybaby that can't move on.
95	* LaserGuidedKarma: Finally receives this when [[spoiler: Dianna kicks him out and resolve to divorce him]].
96	* LazyHusband: He sits around all day, relying completely on Dianna's paycheck to pay the bills.
97	* LikeFatherLikeSon: Only Xavier behaves similarly to him.
98	* LikeParentUnlikeChild: In contrast to his daughters, who are nice girls.

100	* NonActionBigBad: While he is physically abusive, he's yet to get in actual physical fight.
101	* ParentalNeglect: It might be an {{Understatement}} to say this about him.
102	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He's not only abusive but also homophobic.
103	* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Dianna's Blue.
104	* {{Sadist}}: His desire to hurt others is as clear as the sun.
105	* TheSociopath: A very ruthless character who cares for literally no one.
106	* TeenHater: Considering that he's antagonizing Mara and her friends.
107	* TokenEvilTeammate: The only evil parent in the whole book.
108	* UngratefulBastard: For all his wife's hard work to put food on the table and pay the bills.
109	* VilerNewVillain: Compared to [[HiddenHeartOfGold Rose, Nate and Dexter]] and even [[spoiler: [[AlasPoorVillain Jordan]]]] who were essentially the antagonists in the first book, Jack really takes the cake.
110	* VileVillainSaccharineShow: While the sequel already started on a somber note, his appearance as a KnightOfCerebus is what shifted the tone to more serious, and he's undeniably the vilest antagonist to appear yet.
111	* WickedStepfather: He implies that Kata is not his daughter at one point.
112	* WouldHitAGirl: His own daughter and wife, tragically.
113	* WouldHurtAChild: Mara has never known peace in the house because of him.

124	* BigFun: He seems big and is definitely fun.
125	* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler: It's revealed that he knew Samuel and Tiffani from high school, and they got in a love triangle with Samuel ultimately winning]].

129	* GentleGiant: He's quite big and a very nice person.
130	* LikeFatherLikeSon: Both he and Asher are nice, not to be pushed around and very fun.

134	* PapaWolf: Touching Asher is a big no-no.
135	* ParentsAsPeople: Like everyone else here.
136	* RealMenCook: Unlike Norman, Hunter is actually a good cook.
137	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Samuel's Sensitive Guy.
138	* StepfordSmiler: Hunter is yet to be seen anghsting about his missing wife. He's probably better at hiding it than his son.
139	* SupremeChef: Asher seems to really like the meals his father cooks.
140	* UnseenNoMore: He's only mentioned in passing in the first book.
141	* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: Revealed to have this history with Samuel]].

147	----
148	* BirdsOfAFeather: Clearly had this dynamic with his deceased wife Rose.
149	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The first book seems to paint him as a fearsome man who is very protective of his daughter and won't hesitate to treat someone ruthlessly should they wrong her, but in here, he's a wholesome nice guy who adores children and doesn't have a single moment that hints at his cruelness. To be fair, most of that comes from Matt overthinking the meeting with him out of fear, and his actual appearance in the first book has his protective nature but without malice towards anyone.
150	* DadsCantCook: He is a LethalChef, after all.
151	* EarlyBirdCameo: In the first book.
152	* FriendToAllChildren: Appears to love Evelyn's friends as if they were his own.

155	* LikeParentLikeChild: But now that Evelyn's changing for the worst, it might not be the case anymore.
156	* TheMourningAfter: Subtly implied. Apparently he and Evelyn visit Rose's grave a certain time every year, hinting at loyalty on his part. He also does not seem interested in dating nor finding love again, something Evelyn seems to be okay with.
157	* NiceGuy: Very much so. He's aware of Evelyn's friends and is very fond of them.
158	* NoodleIncident: He's not allowed to cook due to one of these, apparently.
159	* PapaWolf: If you don't believe it, lay a finger on his daughter.
160	* ParentsAsPeople: Like everyone else here.
161	* ShipperOnDeck: He approves of Matt as Evelyn's boyfriend and teases them about it frequently.
162	[[/folder]]
163
164	[[folder: Rose Miller]]

169	* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest
170	* GoodParents: Just from her family's words, you can tell she's this.

172	* TheLostLenore: To Norman, though he seems to be able to move on and enjoy life.
173	* MissingMom
174	* NiceGirl: Her husband and daughter speak of her with nothing but sweet words.

176	* PosthumousCharacter: She's long dead before the events of the series.
177	* SupremeChef: Implied by her family. This is something that she shares with Evelyn, according to Norman.

185	* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler: It's revealed that she and Samuel knew Hunter from high school, and they got in a love triangle with Samuel ultimately winning]].

187	* TheDreaded: PlayedForLaughs whenever a character (usually her husband or son) acts terrified of her.
188	* DudeMagnet: [[spoiler: Both Samuel and Hunter had crushes on her back in high school]].
189	* EmbarrassingNickname: She doesn't like it when Samuel calls her Tiffy.

192	* GoodParents: She deeply cares about her only son.

200	* LoveTriangle: [[spoiler: Both Samuel and Hunter wanted her in high school. She chooses Samuel]].

204	* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Samuel's Blue.
205	* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Samuel.

214	----

218	* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler: It's revealed that he and Tiffani knew Hunter from high school, and they got in a love triangle with Samuel ultimately winning]].
219	* CrazyJealousGuy: Don't you ever look at his wife funny.
220	* DeadpanSnarker: He doesn't have it in him like his wife or son, but he does get in a good line in an otherwise serious chapter. [[spoiler: The context is that Samuel and Hunter recognized each other as they have a WeUsedToBeFriends history caused by a LoveTriangle between them over Tiffani. When they're asked if they're gonna behave, Hunter assures everyone and turns to Samuel asking him for reassurance too]]. The latter's response?
221	-->'''Samuel:''' [[StealthInsult One of us, at least]].
222	* DefrostingIceQueen: It's evident Samuel has this effect when around his wife.
223	* FoolishHusbandResponsibleWife: Samuel is not foolish and is more like a laidback, fun-loving father while his wife (and by extention, [[WackyParentSeriousChild his son]]) is more fierce and serious.
224	* {{Foreshadowing}}: His first meeting with Asher seems to go well until the end, where he seemed somewhat shocked from something. [[spoiler: When his history with Asher's dad is revealed, Matt guesses that his father must've gotten surprised when he heard him call Asher by his last name as a joke]].
225	** Earlier, he also looked nervous when Matt jokingly suggested that Samuel didn't have competition while vying for Tiffani. [[spoiler: Turns out he did, that competition being Hunter]].
226	* FriendToAllChildren: He seemed eager to meet Asher and seems to be fond of Mike.
227	* TheGadfly: Sometimes shows this side to his wife when she's acting soft in private.

229	* GoodParents: He looks out for his son, gets along with him and likes to joke around with him, too.

231	* TheHeart: He often acts as the peacekeeper in the family.
232	* HenpeckedHusband: Downplayed and PlayedForLaughs. Tiffani is not actually domineering towards Samuel and loves him very much but she often acts like TheDreaded to her whole family, and they are somewhat scared of her.
233	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Mark.
234	* HighSchoolSweethearts: He's known Tiffani since then.
235	* JerkassToOne: He's a wholesome sweet guy all the time...except to [[spoiler: [[WeUsedToBeFriends Hunter]]]].
236	* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: See WackyParentSeriousChild below.
237	* LoveTriangle: [[spoiler: He and Hunter had been in one over Tiffani. He was the victor]].

239	* NiceGuy: Compared to [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold his son and wife]].
240	* NotSoAboveItAll: In his family, Samuel is normally the only one who doesn't engage in banter and acts as the peacemaker whenever Tiffani and Matthew are in disagreement, painting him as the OnlySaneMan. However, it turns out [[spoiler: he's still holding a grudge against his former friend Hunter because [[LoveTriangle he once fancied Tiffani like him]]]].
241	* ParentsAsPeople: Like everyone else here.
242	* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Tiffani's Red.
243	* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Tiffani.
244	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Hunter's Manly Man.
245	* ShipperOnDeck: For Matt and Evelyn. His words also imply he ships Mike and Mara.
246	* ShippingTorpedo: Obviously [[spoiler: for Tiffani and Hunter and it has been that way since HighSchool]].
247	* TokenGoodTeammate: The only full-on NiceGuy in his family, as both Matt and Tiffani are [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold jerks with a heart of gold]].
248	* UnseenNoMore: Like his wife, he's only mentioned in passing in the first book.
249	* WackyParentSeriousChild: He's pretty carefree, while Matt is more serious and snarky.
250	* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: Revealed to have this history with Hunter]].
251	* WhatDoesHeSeeInHer: Both Asher and Matt wonder about this at one point.

261	* FriendToAllChildren: They get along very well with Mike's friends.

264	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Samuel mentions that he and Tiffani had known Sophie and Mark for a long time.
265	* {{Housewife}}: Sophie.
266	* LikeParentLikeChild: It's easy to see how Mike turned out to be so kindhearted.
267	* NiceGuy / NiceGirl: Just like their eldest and youngest son.
268	* ParentsAsPeople: Like everyone else here.
269	* PlatonicLifePartners: Samuel with Sophie and Tiffani with Mark.
270	* ShipperOnDeck: They have no qualms about Mike and Mara dating.
271	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Had they not [[spoiler: invited Hunter and Matt's family at the same time, we would've never found out that Samuel and Hunter have history]].

284	* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: It's clear Eliza is like her mom in a lot of ways.
285	* NiceGirl: Eliza takes after her in this aspect.

287	* ShipperOnDeck: She calls Asher handsome and teasingly tells her daughter to bring him over more often.
288	* SupremeChef: The first time Mike eats over at Eliza's, he remarks that Catherine's food is even better than his mom's.

321	----
322	* AbusiveOffspring: Acts this way to his own mother, berating her for wanting him to come home more often.
323	* AntiRoleModel: If you couldn't guess from all these unflattering tropes, you're not supposed to be an unruly party animal like Xavier.
324	* BigBrotherBully: Considering he's a big {{Jerkass}}, one can safely assume he's not a big fan of Mara.
325	* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Mara's and Kata's Abel.
326	* ChekhovsGunman: His first appearance where he encounters Asher and Hunter makes his seem like a random, minor character. Then we find out that he's Mara's older brother.
327	* ChildishOlderSibling: He's whiny, entitled and rebellious.
328	* {{Delinquent}}: He and his group of friends are always outside causing mischief, which irks his mom.
329	* DisappointingOlderSibling: To Mara due to his irresponsibility and erratic behavior.
330	* TheDragon: He seems eager to take on this role for his dad
331	* DumbassTeenageSon: He definitely fits here.
332	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Foolish to Mara's and Kata's Responsible.
333	* HarmlessVillain: Compared to his father and Mason, he hasn't been able to do anything too henious.
334	* HatesTheirParent: His mom. His feelings about his dad are not clear, though Dianna implies that Jack is somewhat closer to him than she is.
335	* {{Jerkass}}: Like you wouldn't believe it.
336	* LikeFatherLikeSon: Oh boy howdy.
337	* LikeParentUnlikeChild: With his mom.
338	* MiddleChildSyndrome: To be honest, it seems like him being TheUnfavorite is due to his rebellious behavior than being the middle child.
339	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He and Jack make homophobic comments regarding [[OfficialCouple Kata and Amanda]].
340	* ResentfulOutnumberedSibling: He's not at all fond of his sisters and prefers to hang out with his teoublemaking friends.
341	* ShippingTorpedo: For Mike and Mara, and Kata and Amanda.
342	* SiblingYinYang: If you couldn't guess from the other tropes here, he's obviously way less nicer than his sisters.
343	* TeensAreMonsters: Okay, he's not a monster per se, but he is pretty cruel and careless.
344	* TheUnfavorite: Implied. The first book previously mentions that Mara loves her sister Kata, and that most likely means that her mother Dianna loves her too, leaving Xavier as the unfavorite. However, [[AngerBornOfWorry Dianna seems to get worried about him as well, despite her anger at him]].
345	* UnseenNoMore: He was briefly mentioned in the first book.
346	* WouldHitAGirl: He bullies Mara verbally and physically.

357	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Don't mess with her.
358	* BigSisterInstinct: Her first appearance has her defend Mara from Xavier.

397
398	Eliza is a new transfer student. She got put together with Matt, Mike, Mara, Evelyn and Asher and she quickly strikes up a friendship with them.
399	----
400	* AffectionateNickname: In her case, [[HerNameReallyIsBarkeep it's not Eliza as some would assume]]. It's Liz.
401
402	* AgentMulder: Despite being a ScienceHeroine, Eliza never once questions the possibility of paranormal activity. Apparently, she was already into it before her dad stopped her.
403
404	* AllLovingHeroine: Compared to her friends, Eliza never once shows disdain towards anyone, even the biggest [[{{Jerkass}} jerkasses]] in the series and always believes there is good in everyone.
405
406	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Downplayed. [[DudeMagnet She does have her fair share of suitors]] and is a brunette and her hair is long, but Eliza is less aloof and more socially awkward than anything.
407
408	* AmbiguouslyBi: After her talk with Jordan about love and finding out [[spoiler: the latter is bisexual]], she teases her asking if Jordan thinks she'll develop a crush on her.
409
410	* BadassAdorable: EndearinglyDorky and a GadgeteerGenius. Eliza definitely fills the requirements.
411
412	* BadassBookworm: By far the most intelligent character in the series.
413
414	* BadassPacifist: She's a very capable inventor who's also peaceful and kindhearted.
415
416	* BeneathTheMask: Eliza is normally outgoing and levelheaded in serious situations, but she seems to hide deep sadness caused by her FriendlessBackground and having a DisappearedDad.
417
418	* BigGood: The most capable and skilled out of all heroes.
419
420	* BlueIsHeroic: She wears light blue clothes and is one of the good guys.
421
422	* BookSmart: Eliza seems to excel in all classes. She was shown to have an A+ on a math test, surpassing all her friends.
423
424	* BrainyBrunette: Has dark hair and is the smartest teen in the series by far.
425
426	* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: Watching the entity in the abandoned house by herself seemingly scarred her]].
427
428	* BrokenAce: She excels at school and gadgeteering but she's not free of issues.
429
430	* BrutalHonesty: Not in the AwfulTruth way, it's mostly PlayedForLaughs due to her NoSocialSkills mannerisms.
431
432	* ChasteHeroine: She doesn't shut down romance. She genuinely doesn't get it.
433
434	* CelibateEccentricGenius: She was more clueless about romance at first but she has been understanding lately. She's most definitely a bit eccentric and a genius, though.
435
436	* CluelessDudeMagnet: As a result of her ObliviousToLove tendencies. She has [[PairTheSmartOnes Matthew]], [[OppositesAttract Asher]] and [[AbhorrentAdmirer Mason]] crushing on her.
437
438	* TheComicallySerious: She's not joyless but her lack of reactions is often the source of comedy in many situations.
439
440	* CrazyPrepared: It's a requirement to be a good inventor. The first example is her telling Jordan that her anti-ghost uniform has a button that turns it invisible in case of emergencies.
441
442	* DirtyBusiness: [[spoiler: She and Mike truly had good intentions planting a microphone on Mara, but it's still a morally gray action and a breach of privacy and Eliza is more regretful about it than he is]].
443
444	* DisappearedDad: Her father is only occasionally mentioned.
445
446	* DitzyGenius: While she's a TeenGenius and excels at school, her social skills aren't really on the same level.
447
448	* EndearinglyDorky: Expect anything less from a socially awkward TeenGenius?
449
450	* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Mara jaw drops at the sight of her, and couldn't keep her eyes off of her throughout her first day with them.
451
452	* EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: While Eliza is all for seeing the best in people, she's understandably not a fan of the likes of [[HateSink Mason and Jack]].
453
454	* FirstNameBasis: A notable habit of hers is almost always calling her friends by their actual names, instead of their AffectionateNickname.
455
456	* FriendlessBackground: Like Mara, the core group are the first people she ever got to call friends.
457
458	* TheGadfly: Once she picks up on it, she became fond of teasing Jordan on occasion.
459
460	* GadgeteerGenius: She's able to construct any kind of invention for any needed situation.
461
462	* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: While she's more midway between GirlyGirl and {{Tomboy}}, this is the best trope to describe her. She's a NiceGirl with a [[TrueBlueFemininity blue color theme to emphasize her gentleness]] but she's also interested in science and has no problem investigating a HauntedHouse by herself.
463
464	* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Eliza is rather pure and the idea of evil shocks her. This is seen when [[spoiler: she and Mike spy on Mara and happen to listn to her dad abusing her physically and emotionally. While Mike is angry and furious, Eliza is taken back and can barely form words]].
465
466	* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: When Mason assumes she and Asher are dating, Eliza honestly respond with this.
467
468	* HerNameReallyIsBarkeep: Most would assume Eliza is an AffectionateNickname short for Elizabeth. Not in the case of this girl, it isn't.
469
470	* HiddenDepths: And what depths she has. She's a freaking TeenGenius and GadgeteerGenius. You wouldn't be able to tell from your first meeting with her.
471
472	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She does this after meeting [[ManipulativeBastard Mason]], describing him as a NiceGuy.
473
474	* HumbleHeroine: She's by far the most capable teen in the whole series, yet she seems to have low self-esteem and doesn't think there's anything special about her.
475
476	* IJustWantToBeLoved: Not romantically. Her lack of a father figure and friends seems to be the reason behind this.
477
478	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Subtle, but she seems very happy to find the core group and get to call them her friends.
479
480	* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Eliza is simply pure. She's an AllLovingHeroine who doesn't have ill-will towards anybody and often goes out of her way to help those who need it.
481
482	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Can come off this way with some of her comments, such as reminding [[spoiler: Jordan of her murders last year while trying to give her a compliment]].
483
484	* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: It's clear that honing her smarts took up most of her life and she had been isolated from her peers as a result.
485
486	* TheKirk: She's the smartest one in the group but she's not as stoic as Matt, thus making her this trope.
487
488	* LiteralMinded: See main page.
489
490	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: The main characters decide keep her in the dark for a bit about what Matt meant with his [[spoiler: "[[DroppingTheBombshell I just hope becoming six won't turn out tragic for us...again...]]" but eventually they are forced to tell her by circumstances]].
491
492	* LonerTurnedFriend: Much like Mara.
493
494	* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: It's really debatable whether she likes Matt, Asher, both or neither and just doesn't realized it. She's had ShipTease with them but insists they're JustFriends.
495
496	* MeaningfulName: Eliza means "joyful", fitting with her outgoing and kind personality.
497
498	* MirrorCharacter: Shares a lot with Mara: Both are brunettes, both were lonely and never had friends and both are very nice despite that fact.
499
500	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Unlike [[IDidWhatIHadToDo Mike]], she doesn't try to justify their breach of Mara's privacy to help her with her DarkSecret. Eliza doesn't fret about it, but she clearly regrets it after seeing Mara's reaction]].
501
502	* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: After UsefulNotes/AlexanderHamilton's wife, Elizabeth Schuyler.
503
504	* NervousWreck: She'll act this way occasionally when she's anxious about something.
505
506	* NewTransferStudent: How she was introduced.
507
508	* NiceGirl: So damn much.
509
510	* NoSocialSkills: Has shades of this. She doesn't know what a crush or a boyfriend is, and has trouble understanding romance and realizing the implications that someone might like her.
511
512	* NotSoAboveItAll: She actually learns to tease Jordan a bit over her interest in girls.
513
514	* ObliviousToLove: Well, she might not as oblivious anymore after her talk with Jordan about dating.
515
516	* OnlySaneWoman: Her lack of social skills and [[BeneathTheMask occasional hints that]] [[StepfordSmiler she's not as joyful as she seems]], Eliza is written as a teenage girl many times smarter for her age and can get pretty serious when needed.
517
518	* PluckyGirl: She's very brave and optimistic and determined.
519
520	* ProneToTears: Eliza has shed tears on quite a few occasions since her introduction.
521
522	* SafetyInIndifference: At one point, she talks to Jordan about how messy romance is, and the implication is, Eliza became celibate even after coming to understand romance because of this trope.
523
524	* SarcasmBlind: Most of the jokes within the group (usually [[DeadpanSnarker Matt]]'s) go over her head.
525
526	* SecondLove: To Matt, after Evelyn.
527
528	* ScienceHeroine: A smart and brilliant inventor.
529
530	* SixthRanger: She actually becomes the seventh member of the core group [[spoiler: after Jordan comes back, replacing Rose after her death in the first book]].
531
532	* ShipperOnDeck: For both Mikara and Mattlyn.
533
534	* ShipTease: She's had her moments with Matt and Asher.
535
536	* ShrinkingViolet: Not as big as Mara on this one but she is described as shy and demure on her first day at school.
537
538	* TheSmartGirl: Starts to share this role with Matt.
539
540	* SociallyAwkwardHero: She finds facing [[spoiler: a mysterious and potentially dangerous entity]] easier to deal with than social situations.
541
542	* StealthHiBye: It's something of a RunningGag with her. She always unintentionally scare her friends by suddenly popping into the conversation. It could be due to her NoSocialSkills tendencies.
543
544	* StepfordSmiler: As mentioned above, Eliza is not 100% the cheerful girl she comes across as and evidently has emotional baggage from her past.
545
546	* TeenGenius: Given she has her own lab and still attending high school.
547
548	* TrueBlueFemininity: Her introduction mentions she's wearing light blue clothes and shoes.
549
550	* UnfazedEveryman: Compared to everyone else, she acts as if an unknown and potentially dangerous ghost is a regular problem.
551
552	* WeakButSkilled: She makes up for her lack of combat skills with knowledge and gadgets.
553	* WeirdnessMagnet: Her involvement in the plot adds paranormal elements to the story.

561	Mason first becomes acquainted with Eliza and Asher, quickly taking an interest in the former, but he leaves a bad impression on Asher.
562	----
563	* AbhorrentAdmirer: For Mara and to a lesser extent, Eliza due to her being ObliviousToLove.
564	* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Both of them were only briefly mentioned and discussed once.
565	-->'''[[DeadpanSnarker Matthew]]:''' I wouldn't be surprised if [[TheSociopath he]]'s a SelfMadeOrphan.
566	* AmicableExes: [[spoiler: Averted with Jordan]].

568	-->'''Mason:''' [[AtLeastIAdmitIt At least]] [[JerkassHasAPoint I'm not]] [[spoiler: [[EveryoneHasStandards a murderer]]]].
569	* AtLeastIAdmitIt: He doesn't outright say it but it is implied by his ArmorPiercingResponse above where [[spoiler: he chastises Jordan for criticizing him for taking advantage of girls when she herself has killed for a girl. He could be alluding to the fact that he's not afraid to act slimy in public, whereas Jordan hid until the very end]].
570	* {{Blackmail}}: He pulls this on Mara, threatening to [[spoiler: expose Jordan's and Eliza secret]].
571	* CardCarryingVillain: He doesn't even bother hiding how malicious and sadistic he is.
572	* CasanovaWannabe: If Eliza wasn't so ObliviousToLove, she would've blown him off, no doubt. Mara is more aware and actively pushes him away.
573	* ChekhovsGunman: Introduced as a harmless but slimy boy towards girls. Later revealed to [[spoiler: be one of Jordan's past flings, with whom she had a horrible relationship with]].
574	* ChildhoodFriendRomance: [[spoiler: Formerly with Jordan]].
575	* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler: He's one of Jordan's previous boyfriends with whom she had a horrible relationship with]].
576	* DirtyCoward: It's implied that he's not much of a fighter so when the gang starts threatening him with physical violence, he only spares them a second before leaving the scene.
577	* DoggedNiceGuy: He's less civil to Asher, being more focused on the innocent Eliza. He also does this for Mara.
578	* DomesticAbuser: [[spoiler: Revealed to have been physically and emotionally abusive towards Jordan during their relationship]].
579	* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[StrawHypocrite While it's probable that he only threw]] [[spoiler: Jordan's murder spree last year back at her when she criticized him]] just to be in the right, he really doesn't seem capable of sinking that low.
580	* EvilFeelsGood: He doesn't just enjoy the suffering of others. Any act of evil seems to fill him with gratification and pleasure.
581	* FauxAffablyEvil: He tends to speak in a friendly manner but that only serves to underscore how evil he is.
582	* ForcefulKiss: He does one on Mara at one point.
583	* ForgottenFriendNewFoe: [[spoiler: To Jordan]].
584	* GreaterScopeVillain: Downplayed. [[spoiler: He wasn't the only horrible boyfriend Jordan's been with, that being the reason she started preferring girls, namely Evelyn...which ended with her becoming a murderer]].
585	* GreenAndMean: His hair is green and he's definitely a mean one.
586	* HasAType: Implied by his YoureNotMyType statement to Evelyn (see below). Though we never actually find out what his type is, he might have a thing for brunettes, something that both Mara and Eliza share. He also implies that he likes girls who threaten him.
587	* HatedByAll: And for good reason, too.
588	* HateSink: Not unlike Mara's father. He's unsympathetic, cocky and not at all above being dirty to get what he wants.
589	* TheHeavy: It's crazy to think someone like [[CasanovaWannabe Mason]] would fill this role when there are antagonists [[AbusiveParents viler]] and [[UnseenEvil more dangerous]] but he does have more screentime and his actions do drive the plot the most. Heck, [[GreaterScopeVillain he even had some influence over the plot of the first book and he didn't appear in it]].
590	* HormoneAddledTeenager: A big pervert, especially towards Mara.
591	* ImplausibleHairColor: He has green hair.
592	* JerkAss: It doesn't take long to come out.
593	* KarmaHoudini: Mason's the only antagonist to not receive his comeuppance so far.
594	* LackOfEmpathy: Big time. Mason carries out his plans with no regard to those around him.
595	* ManipulativeBastard: He's a pretty decent talker and manipulator, as seen in [[spoiler: his interactions with Mara]]. He also pulls something of a XanatosSpeedChess.
596	* NonActionBigBad: He's most definitely TheHeavy, yet he has no fighting skills that we know of. He'd much rather rely on emotional manipulation.
597	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: His actions lead to one of the biggest events in the book: [[spoiler: Jordan is revealed as a ghost, and Eliza is exposed for having a secret lab]].
598	* {{Sadist}}: Clearly enjoys being the puppeteer of others' suffering.
599	* {{Slimeball}}: He's a cocky CasanovaWannabe and acts very inappropriately for his age. [[spoiler: Jordan also had a horrible relationship with him at one point]].
600	* SmugSnake: Count how many times he says something in a condescending manner.
601	* TheSociopath: He fills all requirements from smugness to seeing no difference between people and chess pawns.
602	* StalkerWithACrush: How else would he have the vital info needed to hurt the heroes?
603	* TechnicolorEyes: One purple and one green.
604	* TeensAreMonsters: The biggest example in the sequel, if not the whole series.
605	* VilerNewVillain: Shared with Jack. You can imagine Dexter, Nate and Rose [[EveryoneHasStandards being disgusted]] with this guy because he's actually evil and dangerous.
606	* VillainHasAPoint: The one time he said something valid was when he delivered his ArmorPiercingResponse (see above) to [[spoiler: Jordan]]. Lampshaded by Matt when he muttered a yikes upon hearing it.
607	* VillainousCrush: On Mara and Eliza.
608	* VillainRevealsTheSecret: [[spoiler: The one he blackmailed Mara with, as stated above]].
609	* WalkingSpoiler: Due to his heavy involvment in [[spoiler: Jordan's backstory]].

668	* BenevolentBoss: He's very respectful to the teachers.

672	* DeanBitterman: Averted.
673	* FriendToAllChildren: Considering he assigned Evelyn to show Eliza around on her first day, he seems to care about the students.
674	* GoodIsNotSoft: We don't get to hear what kind of punishment he chose for Mason once he's told about him but there is an implication that it will not be easy and bearable.
675	* NiceGuy: Compared to Winston, he's not uptight and is actually friendly.
676	* PapaWolf: It can be argued he feels this way towards the students.
677	* PuttingThePalInPrincipal: He's fairly pleasant in manner and appearance.
678	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: From what we see of him, he seems to be running the school smoothly and no one seems to have anything against him.
679	* SmallRoleBigImpact: If it weren't for him assigning Evelyn to show Eliza around, the protagonists would've never got involved with her and found out she's a GadgeteerGenius, thus preventing all major events in the sequel from happening.
680	* TheStoic: While he is friendly, he remains very calm anytime he's seen.
