7	!Allison "Sonny" Munroe
8	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sonny_munroe_01.jpg]]
9	-->Played by: Music/DemiLovato
10	* AmbiguouslyBi: She's part of an official relationship with Chad, but has tons of LesYay with Tawni.
11	* AttractiveBentGender: Tawni took an obsession with Eric, Sonny's fake number one fan, with Sonny in disguise as Eric.
12	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: She and Chad have at least one Aw Look moment an episode. [[spoiler: After becoming [[RelationshipUpgrade an Official Couple]]. And they've "broken up" three times in the past three episodes. Yet it's been made very clear that they care about each other, and for every second that they snark at each other, there's another second or two where they are completely adorable.]]
13	* BadLiar: Sonny is a terrible liar. When she lies, her voice usually goes up an octave, and she stammers.
14	* BelligerentSexualTension: With Chad. Sonny is definitely, with her tsuntsun side ''only'' triggered by Chad and occasionally Tawny. As Chad was only introduced in the 2nd episode, Sonny and Tawni actually came first for this. As of the end of Season 1, it looks like some movement in the Chad/Sonny relationship is happening, a remarkably quick RelationshipUpgrade for this type of couple (assuming they don't muck around for another season or 2 denying their obvious feelings for each other).
15	* CloudCuckooLander: She's quite goofy and tries to crack jokes all the time even in situations where it isn't warranted. She also feels the need to meddle in other people's romantic interests who then reprimand her for invading their privacy.
16	* DatingWhatDaddyHates: She starts dating Chad, much to the chagrin of the other Randoms who still maintain resentment to ''Mackenzie Falls''.
17	* DisappearedDad: Although, he's mentioned once in the pilot.
18	* TheDitz: Though not as dumb as Grady, Sonny is still noticeably air headed.
19	* FishOutOfWater: She was a normal girl that suddenly became part of the ''So Random'' cast.
20	* GenkiGirl: Her high energy and general perkiness annoys her co-workers.
21	%%* TheHeroine
22	* MeaningfulName: To exaggerated lengths; her friends admit that they depend on her for guidance much like planets depend on the sun. This is debated in the "Falling for the Falls" two-parter where Nico and Grady were lazily waiting on Sonny to make their solar system project for them calling Sonny the center of their universe before growing jealous of Chad for taking Sonny's attention away from them. "Chad Without a Chance" shows the other Randoms all rely on Sonny for helping them out with their problems no matter how trivial.
23	%%* MsFanservice
24	%%* NaiveNewcomer: To the ''So Random'' cast.
25	* NiceGirl: Occasional selfish moments aside, she otherwise is a very good hearted person.
26	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Sonny's real name -- Allison -- is rarely mentioned.
27	* PerpetualSmiler: She always has a smile on her face.
28	%%* PluckyGirl
29	* PunnyName: She is a bright and perky, or "sunny", character.
30	* SweetPollyOliver: She disguised herself as her number one fan Eric in "You Got Fan Mail".
31	* TokenMinority: Music/DemiLovato as Sonny counts as this since they're of Hispanic descent.
32	%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Tawni's Girly Girl.
33	* TomboyishName: Well, her nickname, anyway.
34	* {{Tsundere}}: Type B towards Chad. She's nice to everyone except her love interest.
35	%%* VitriolicBestBuds: With Tawni.
36	%%* WithFriendsLikeThese: With Tawni and Chad.
37
38	!Tawni Hart
39	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tawni_picture.jpg]]
40	[[caption-width-right:350: "You know what I love about me? I'm always something and pretty!"]]
41
42	* AmbiguouslyBi: She's crushed on several guys, but also has tons of Les Yay with Sonny.
43	* AttentionWhore: Tawni's big weakness is if someone else, like Sonny, gets more attention or better criticism by the media. It can really eat away at her and can, in turn, cause her to do something drastic to herself.
44	%%* BettyAndVeronica: Veronica to Sonny's Betty.
45	* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Blonde to Sonny's brunette and Zora's redhead.
46	* DartboardOfHate: A flashback in the pilot episode shows Tawni throwing darts at a picture of Sonny with a goatee drawn on it.
47	%%* DeadpanSnarker
48	* DisappearedDad: Despite her mother being mentioned, has not had her father mentioned.
49	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In the episode 'Poll'd Apart' Tawni shaves her head, symbolically. She actually just wears a bald cap. Also serves as a ShoutOut to Britney Spears during her own perceived breakdown.
50	* {{Expy}}: Several people have spotted similarities between Tawni Hart and [[Series/TheFactsOfLife Blair Warner]].
51	%%* TheFashionista
52	* HairFlip: Does that a lot, in "You've Got Fan Mail" she does it when mentioning her hair having more glow than Sonny's and before picking up a call from her.
53	%%* HatesBeingTouched: Her reaction to Sonny's hugging in the beginning of the series.
54	* IHaveThisFriend: In the episode "Sonny With A Chance of Dating", Tawni is jealous of Sonny dating a Mackenzie Falls co-star and claims that her best friend once dated him and ended up wearing poliester pants. Sonny correctly deduces that Tawni is that her "friend".
55	* ItsAllAboutMe: She is a self-absorbed, diva-type teenager who wants to have the spotlight to herself.
56	* {{Jerkass}}: Tawni is egocentric and spends a majority of her time thinking about how she looks.
57	** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She is likely to come through for her fellow cast members in a real time of need, though.
58	* LovableAlphaBitch: Tawni overlaps as one in the first season, especially when she prevents Sonny and Chad's {{Ten Minutes In The Closet}} moment from being broadcast live.
59	%%* MsFanservice
60	%%* TheLancer
61	%%* TheRival
62	* PetTheDog:
63	** In Sonny With a Choice, Tawni treated Sonny like her best friend and comforted her after her break up with Chad.
64	** In Sonny With a Secret, Tawni believed Sonny when Sonny said she wasn't lying about the stuff she was framed for.
65	** In Sonny So Far when Gilroy Smith tries to show the audience Sonny and Chad's private conversation, Tawni closes the TV because she remembered all that Sonny did for her and didn't want her to be embarrassed on tv.
66	* ProudBeauty: Extremely, she's always boasting about how beautiful she is. Then again, [[MsFanservice few wo]][[CelebCrush uld disagree.]]
67	* SmarterThanYouLook: She has shown being very perceptive, seeing quite easily that Chad Dylan Cooper had "other motives" for wanting to stop Sonny and James' date, among other things.
68	* SmugSmiler: A lot of her smiles, especially those to Sonny, are cocky and condescending.
69	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: It's Tawni not Tawn''y''.
70	%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly Girl to Sonny's Tomboy.
71	%%* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist
72	%%* VitriolicBestBuds: With Sonny.

80	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Grady, even with their own 'breakup' episode where they try to replace one another with Sonny.
81	* ThoseTwoGuys: With Grady.
82	* TokenMinority: As the only African American member of the main cast.
83	%%* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Sometimes.
84
85	!Grady Mitchell
86
87	%%* TheBigGuy: By default.
88	* ButtMonkey: Out of all the cast members Grady gets this the worst.
89	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Grady tends to be the weirdest one right after Zora.
90	* TheDitz: by far the dumbest of the main cast.
91	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Nico, even with their own 'breakup' episode where they try to replace one another with Sonny.
92	* LargeHam: Grady can get hammy when he's excited or frustrated.
93	%%* LovableCoward

95	%%* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Sometimes.
96
97	!Zora Lancaster
98
99	* CloudCuckoolander: In the pilot episode, she actually thought ''Sonny's'' presence meant she wasn't the weird one anymore. It didn't work out that way. Zora is strange even by Sonny's standards. Example from "The Legend of Candy Face":
100	-->'''Sonny:''' Zora, go get your camera.\
101	'''Zora:''' But I covered it in dew. You know, to attract the bats.\
102	'''Sonny:''' Okay, just go get the camera, you little freak.
103	* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She has stuffed animals in her girly room.
104	* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: She might be mature but she isn't ready to become a teenager just yet. And her room is surprisingly girly.]]
105	%%* {{Jerkass}} She has her moments
106	%%** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: It's still shown that she cares about her friends.
107	%%* OnlySaneMan: Yes a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} with a {{Sadist}} streak is the sanest member of the cast.
108	* {{Sadist}}: It's quite clear she likes seeing others in pain.
109	%%* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]
110	%%* TokenEvilTeammate: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]].
111	%%* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Sometimes.
112	%%* WiseBeyondTheirYears: But see HiddenDepths.
113
114	!Chad Dylan Cooper
115	--> '''Played by''': Creator/SterlingKnight
116
117	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: He and Sonny have at least one Aw Look moment an episode. [[spoiler: After becoming [[RelationshipUpgrade an Official Couple]]. And they've "broken up" three times in the past three episodes. Yet it's been made very clear that they care about each other, and for every second that they snark at each other, there's another second or two where they are completely adorable.]]
118	* BelligerentSexualTension: With Sonny. As of the end of Season 1, it looks like some movement in the Chad/Sonny relationship is happening, a remarkably quick RelationshipUpgrade for this type of couple (assuming they don't muck around for another season or 2 denying their obvious feelings for each other).
119	* CatchPhrase: To the extent of, "Do they, Sonny? Do they really?"
120	%%* ChickMagnet
121	* CrazyJealousGuy: Whenever it involves Sonny with ''[[RomanticFalseLead another guy]].''
122	** Hilariously shown in an episode where Sonny and Tawni's date Hayden kiss at a basketball game -- because they are both shown on the "kiss-cam" and they do it to ease the nagging audience -- and ''Chad'' finds out.
123	-->'''Chad:''' [''to Sonny''] Who is this guy?!\
124	'''Tawni:''' The love of my life!\
125	'''Chad:''' THEN WHY IS SHE KISSING HIM?!\
126	'''Tawni:''' I DON'T KNOW!
127	%%* FullNameBasis
128	%%* [[ItsAllAboutMe It's All About Me]]
129	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
130	%%* KidAnova
131	* LargeHam: Apparently, Chad is a LargeHam in-universe, as apparent by this quote (over the seasons he calms down):
132	--> '''Chad:''' "You smell like ham."
133	--> '''Sonny:''' "I've seen your acting... so do you."
134	%%* MrFanservice
135	%%* NiceCharacterMeanActor
136	%%* TheRival
