History Characters / SeventhHeaven

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParent: Sometimes. In just the very first episode, when Lucy tries to "become a woman" by standing on her head against the wall to summon her first period and Eric walks in, Lucy runs out of the room and into the bathroom. Eric tries to comfort her by reminding Lucy that he used to be her age and that he knows exactly how she feels, which Lucy responds to by telling him to go away and throwing a bottle against the door, since Eric is a man and wouldn't relate to Lucy's struggles of hitting menarche.

* OverprotectiveDad: He fits perfectly in this trope. He also becomes a PapaWolf when it comes to his daughters.

* BigSisterBully; Mary had shades of this to Lucy in the early seasons. One scene from the second episode had her block the door preventing Lucy from going to the bathroom and then tickling her after hearing she has to go really bad. And in the season 2 premiere "Don't Take My Love Away" Mary challenges Lucy to a fight while the former is in crutches, in retaliation at Lucy declaring Jimmy Moon a better boyfriend to her than Wilson is to Mary on grounds that Jimmy is smart enough not to become a [[TeenPregnancy teen father]]. These instances are downplayed since most of her bullying is rooted in childish SiblingRivalry and she usually reverts to a CoolBigSis by the end of the episode.

* MatzoFever: As stated above, he marries his girlfriend Sarah Glass, who is the only daughter of a doting Rabbi.

The oldest sister and Eric and Annie's second-born child. Mary is an aspiring athlete with a passion for basketball, a sport which she plays very often in the early seasons. She shares a room with her younger sister Lucy, with whom she has a consistent SiblingRivalry. She is a CoolBigSis to Ruthie, Simon and, especially, Lucy in the earliest seasons--though she also [[SiblingRivalry fought a lot with Lucy]]--but in the later seasons she somewhat distances herself from her siblings.

The oldest sister and Eric and Annie's second-born child. Mary is an aspiring athlete with a passion for basketball, a sport which she plays very often in the early seasons. She shares a room with her younger sister Lucy, with whom she has a consistent SiblingRivalry. She views herself as superior to her siblings and tends to be catty towards them (especially to Lucy), though she can let go of her ego and be a CoolBigSis to them when the time calls for it.

* LargeHam: Comes with being the most emotional and dramatic sibling of the bunch. When Lucy gets really confrontational or riled up, her delivery flies off the charts. The best examples include when she and Mary are fighting over their boyfriends just before Eric and Annie's wedding anniversary, and "Nothing Endures but Change" when she snaps at Mary for ruining her plans in favor of babysitting Wilson's baby.

* IntergenerationalFriendship: In the first Halloween episode, Lucy meets Mike Mitchell, who is rumored to be a ChildEater to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. She learns his backstory and realizes that he isn't a bad guy after all, and only became a recluse to society due to being shot by a robber at his job pumping gas, which scarred him for life. Lucy expresses sorrow to his loss and gets on good terms with Mr. Mitchell, and in return Mike lets her take one of his pumpkins to enter into the upcoming pumpkin carving contest.

The fourth child and second son of the family. Simon is a precocious 10-year-old boy at the start of the series who comes up with many get-rich-quick schemes and is always looking for a way to make money. He wishes for a dog in the very first episode and names it "Happy" once a white dog is shown in the backyard. He shares a room with his younger sister Ruthie, with whom he occasionally gets along and acts like a mentor to, but sometimes views her as a nuisance.

* BigBrotherWorship: He very much looks up to his older brother Matt. Inverted in one episode where Matt is caught with marijuana, at which Simon is deeply disappointed; this is lampshaded by Eric, who says that Simon just lost all respect for Matt.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: She is this to Matt, Mary, and Lucy. Sometimes this is inverted with Simon.

* LivingProp: Since she's just the family pet, she mainly just appears in the background and in brief focus scenes. However, she is important to the show's very first episode and "Happy's Valentine".

The minister of Glen Oak Community Church and HappilyMarried husband to Annie and {{Good Parent|s}} to five (later seven) children. He is very involved in his kids' lives and is very opposed to youth taking drugs.

* ItsAllMyFault: She believes she is the reason why her friend Sarah was killed in a car crash.

The middle child of the family [[MiddleChildSyndrome whose title as such makes her feel insecure]]. She shares a room with Mary, with whom she faces a consistent SiblingRivalry, and is considered an AnnoyingYoungerSibling to her. Lucy is known for being boy-crazy and having many boyfriends, starting with Jimmy Moon. She exhibits traits of a HormoneAddledTeenager and BrattyTeenageDaughter dealing with the turmoil of adolescence at the beginning of the series, which makes her the most emotional and sensitive, though she is a NiceGirl at the end of the day.

The oldest child and son of the Camden kids who is generally a mellow NiceGuy and sacrifices his school time to help others. His siblings look up to him and he does his best to help them when they go to him for advice. Despite this, Matt has a rebellious streak that keeps Eric and Annie on their toes, be it violating curfews, underage drinking, drugs, or unprotected sex.

** Eric also isn't okay when Mary marries Carlos because the latter is a Catholic, which he feels is a different religion than hers. It's a different ''denomination'', which implies that he doesn't think that Catholicism is part of Christianity.

All of this puts her in stark contrast to the other Camden kids, all of whom are dilligent college students. Her mother even specifically refers to her as TheUnfavorite.
