!V (2009) Series Characters:

!Fifth Column/[[LaResistance The Resistance]]:

!!Erica Evans

* AccompliceByInaction: Her son continously accuses her of everything wrong, because SHE HAS TO BE PERFECT AND FIX EVERYTHING. Period. Untill she succeeds, he'll be judgemental and break her mind with sneering comments.

* TheCaptain
* FairCop
* TheHero
* HotMom
* IHaveBrothers: Erica's explanation for her boxing skills.
* MamaBear
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:She may have killed most of Anna's eggs, but all this did was make Anna go ''berserk'' and proceed with the main plans for humanity way ahead of schedule (Marcus says as much), meaning that the entire plan to stop the Fifth Column from being wiped out and Joshua's sacrifice may have been completely for naught.]]
* [[spoiler:NotSoDifferent: In the season 2 finale "Mother's Day", she's afraid she's becoming as cold as Anna.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: For Lisa.

!!Jack Landry

* BadassPreacher
* TheChick
* LetsGetDangerous
* ResignedToTheCall
* SexyPriest

!!George Sutton

* ActionSurvivor
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]
* [[ItsPersonal It's Personal]]
* [[spoiler: SacrificialLion]]
* TheSmartGuy

!!Kyle Hobbes

* MrFanservice: He certainly seems to be heading in that direction, given his [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys dark demeanor]] and the looks of the actor who plays him.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: A firm believer in it.
* {{Jerkass}}
* SociopathicHero
* TerroristWithoutACause
* TokenEvilTeammate

!!Joshua

* [[SixthRangerTraitor Fifth Ranger Traitor]]: For the Visitors.
* MadeOfIron
* TheMedic
* ReverseMole
** [[spoiler:BrainwashedAndCrazy[=/=]FaceHeelTurn: At the start of Season 2. He apparently has no memories of being a Fifth Columnist.]]

!!Dr. Leah Pearlman

!!John May

* [[spoiler:FaceDeathWithDignity]]
* MessianicArchetype
* [[spoiler:PosthumousCharacter]]
* RebelLeader

![[AlienInvasion The Visitors]]:

!!Anna

* AbusiveParents: Depending on her relation to the V race in general, this might tie in with BadBoss. Otherwise, her treatment of Lisa in "Hearts & Minds" definitely counts.
* BadBoss: You get a suicide pill if you're even suspected of being a traitor, skinned alive if she knows for sure.
* BigBad
* BoyishShortHair
* ConsummateLiar
* CrazyPrepared
* TheEmperor
* HotMom
* InvincibleVillain
* MamaBear: In contrast to the above, [[spoiler:when her eggs are destroyed by the Fifth Column, she gets extremely pissed and apparently poisons the entire damn planet]].
* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]
* MsFanservice: [[spoiler:Subverted about halfway through the first season, because mating with her would lead to some...[[DeathBySex unpleasant side-effects.]]]]
* NotSoDifferent: Despite despising and trying to eradicate human emotion/the soul, she is just as 'infected' as the rebel Vs. Two notable instances are the destruction of her eggs (and visiting the dying survivors later on, where she was fighting not to ''cry''), and to a lesser extent [[spoiler:her reaction to Marcus's shooting. It appears she actually ''does'' care about him.]]
* SmugSnake
* StepfordSmiler: Type C; a [[TheFakeCutie Fake Cutie]].
* SugaryMalice
* TheVamp
* VillainWithGoodPublicity
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She seems to honestly believe that everything she is doing is for the survival and protection of her species, and says as much to her people.

!!Lisa

* TheDarkChick
* DefrostingIceQueen
* FemmeFatale
* [[spoiler:GrandTheftMe: In a sense. An EvilTwin of herself has assumed her identity, and she is locked away and unable to do anything.]]
* LoveRedeems
* [[DaddysLittleVillain Mommy's Little Villain]]
* ModestyBedsheet: She apparently sleeps with this.
* MsFanservice
* RebelliousPrincess
* [[spoiler: SealedGoodInACan]]
* ShooTheDog: Keeps trying with Tyler, but can't make it stick.
* StepfordSmiler: Starts as a Type C, later becomes a Type A.
* TokenGoodTeammate

!!Diana:

* HotMom
* HumanityIsInfectious: Diana began experiencing human emotion which was why her daughter, Anna, locked her away. She knows that Anna is now experiencing human emotion and tells Anna it'll only get worse.
* InTheBack: Diana tells Anna, she did this to her by taking the throne from her.
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: By Anna. Sadly, she underestimated her daughter.]]
* MadWomanInTheAttic: Anna put her mother in a secret part of the ship for fifteen years. She did this because Diana experienced human emotions which Anna arguably considers a sickness
* ManInTheIronMask: Everyone believes Diana is dead, but what really happened is Anna imprisoned her mother and told everyone she was dead. Anna did this because it was not time for her to take the throne, but she felt it necessary because of Diana's experience of human emotion.
* [[spoiler: SealedGoodInACan]]: Until the season 2 finale.
* TooDumbToLive: Diana leaped into this category in the season 2 finale by [[spoiler:very publicly taking back the throne even AFTER learning that the plan to assassinate Anna failed. Diana knew full well that Anna would kill her; yet she took no precautions to prevent this]]

!!Marcus

* AudienceSurrogate[=/=]CaptainObvious: He tends to ask Anna what she's planning near the end of some episodes, mostly for the benefit of [[ViewersAreMorons viewers who didn't figure it out sooner]].
* TheDragon
* EnigmaticMinion
* SharpDressedMan

!Others:

!!Tyler Evans

* AccomplicedByInaction: He accuses his mother of everything wrong in the life of everyone.
* [[spoiler:{{Brainwashed}}: Anna uses her bliss on Tyler which she can now use on any human.]]
* [[BrattyTeenageDaughter Bratty Teenage Son]]
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Why he joins up with the V's.
* DisappearedDad
* {{Jerkass}}: Has recently stepped in to this category .
** JerkassWoobie: Has shades of this.
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: DeathBySex, in a sense, by Anna's second daughter in the same skin as Lisa. Chances are high that he was then eaten by her as well.]]
* TheQuisling: As Erica puts it, he seems to think the V's are ''Gods''.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: [[spoiler:And gets you killed.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:An inversion. Tyler learns that the man he thinks is his father isn't, though Erica swears up and down that the test was wrong and he is.]]
* NaiveNewcomer
* TagalongKid: A rare case of the ''villains'' getting their own TagAlongKid, but that's just because he's...
* TooDumbToLive: While many are taken in by the V's, Tyler wins the award for being frankly the ''dumbest'' character in the entire series in that he finds nothing suspicious about the Visitors ''at all''.
* TroubledButCute
* UnwittingPawn

!!Valerie Stevens

* InterspeciesRomance
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:StuffedIntoTheFridge only a few episodes later.]]
* WackyCravings

!!Chad Decker

* IntrepidReporter
* UnwittingPawn: But only mildly. At the very least, he is making an effort to get as much out of the relationship as Anna is. Still, Anna knows how to play him when she needs to. [[spoiler:Now that Anna knows he's part of the Fifth Column, he might be expendable.]]
