YMMV: Selkie
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Jessie the Wool-Mart sales clerk. Although she only appeared in a few strips, she became popular with the fans—so much so that the artist changed Wool-Mart to her summer job and brought her back as the student teacher for Selkie's class.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Amanda. She's a bit of a narcissistic bully. She also cannot get adopted despite several people being interested, and ends up watching Selkie and Heather get adopted instead.
    • And now it's been revealed that she was adopted, but they "dumped" her because their biological kids didn't like her. Or at least, that's the reasoning her friend picked up on.
  • "Funny Aneurysm" Moment: It hasn't happened yet, but it's been set up. Amanda snarls at Selkie for "stealing" a daddy from her, since Selkie got adopted and Amanda didn't, triggering serious resentment. "People would rather adopt a fish than me." It has since been revealed to the audience that Amanda is Todd's biological daughter, but Todd and her mother Andi were teenagers at the time and Andi didn't feel ready for/didn't want kids, so she gave Amanda up at birth before Todd even got to the hospital, and told Todd that the baby had died/was stillborn.
