* AmbiguouslyBrown: His race was originally unstated. In "Always Anthony", it's implied that he's African-American.
* CharacterTics: When he was young, he frequently spit at the ground (which is seen in earlier books). He's trying to break the habit though. Occasionally, he accidentally hits some people whenever they're in his line of sight; Ruby was one of the unfortunate ones to get hit when Anthony was aiming for a water fountain.

* HiddenDepths: While he's the star player of the school's basketball team, Anthony also excels at STEM subjects (e.g. math and science).
* LostPetGrievance: When he was in the third grade he had two dogs but one of them, Esther, died -- which was really hard on him as he was the closest to her.

science). He's also mildly dyslexic, which he never told anyone, not even his best friend Tyler. He's also an ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter, as he doesn't like Celia and later tells Jaime [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre she's better than Celia]], who's a phony.

* StepfordSmiler: Anthony is always seen as cool and laid-back, so much so as Tyler once showed him a chart showcasing his feelings, which is every emotion seen but with Anthony's straight face on each one. He says he does have feelings, he just tends to hide them well.

[[folder:Nikki Lourde]]
!!Nikki Lourde
A girl on the volleyball team with multicolored hair who Anthony (initially) has a crush on.

----
* BrokenPedestal: She ends up this after the first time Anthony speaks to her and realizes that not only can she [[NoSenseOfHumor not get a joke]], but she's deadpan and has no personal depth, and can't even offer him another time to go out to Taystees's after she turns him down. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking She also has five cats]] and just the thought of cats makes him sneeze. It falls more when she's rude to Leah in front of him.
* LovingAShadow: Anthony has a crush on her for about half a year without speaking to her. When he finally does, he's shocked to learn she's extremely shallow and his crush fades, especially after she insults Leah by complaining that she broke the curve in math class. By the end he's pretty sure he was just mesmerized by her colored hair and green eyes. [[spoiler:This opens up the path for him to realize he likes ''Jaime''.]]
* NoSenseOfHumor: Anthony jokes with her that he'll nap on the bus, since his essay took all his energy. She asks him if it is, and when he says it's a joke, she tells him it wasn't.
* ShipSinking: Anthony does this himself after their first talk where he learns she has NoSenseOfHumor, and then another when she flatly tells Leah that she ruined the curve in math class and Nikki only got a C.
