!!Selena Vega

->'''Played by:''' Dania Ramirez

* BigBeautifulWoman: She's gained a lot of weight since high school, but is fairly attractive. Sherman notes her generous bust when he decides to make a move on her.

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParent: Of course this happens if ''your father'' tries to give you awkward sex advice and keeps talking about the most embarrassing sexual issues, including his own past experiences.

* SuddenlySexuality: In ''Reunion'', Jessica announces to Kevin that she's now a lesbian, and brings her girlfriend with her to the reunion.

* TheArtifact: Kevin was the {{Deuteragonist}} of the first film after Jim, but thanks to the breakout characters of Finch and, particularly, Stifler, by the time the third film (American Wedding) rolled around there was really nothing for him to do, especially since his love interest Vicky wasn't even in the movie. But because he was Jim's best friend it would've been strange for him not to be in the wedding party so he was basically just around to stand there and hardly say anything.

* DemotedToExtra: In ''American Wedding''. He appears in every scene involving Jim's wedding but doesn't have much to say or do.

The main protagonist of the original American Pie series.

Steven Stifler is the deuteragonist of the American Pie series, and the main character in American Wedding.

* {{Adorkable}}: With Michelle in an Adorkable Couple.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Meek {{Adorkable}} Jim is the Sensitive Guy to Stifler's crass, obnoxious Manly JerkJock.

** The crass, obnoxious Manly JerkJock to Jim's meek {{Adorkable}} Sensitive Guy.

* TheGenericGuy: He's not {{Adorkable}} like Jim, a LovableJock like Oz or posh like Finch. There's a reason he got sidelined in favor of Stifler and Finch.
* HappilyMarried: To Ellie in ''Reunion''.

* {{Adorkable}}: With Jim in an {{Adorkable}} couple.

* HappilyMarried: Eventually with Jim.

->'''Played by:''' Angela Paton

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Prone to making homophobic remarks whenever he's trying to insult somebody. This makes him seem even more like a relic by the time of the reunion, with attitudes towards gay people improving significantly by then. Though he does befriend a gay man named Bear in ''Wedding'' and even agrees to help plan the wedding of some old lacrosse buddies.

* KavorkaMan: Somewhat. He's an oddball and not the best looking of the guys yet he hooked up with the most girls during his first year of college, at three. It may not be that many compared to Stifler (or so Stifler claims), but still rather impressive.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The intellectual GentlemanAndAScholar (sensitive) to Stifler's crass, obnoxious JerkJock (manly). The contrast is made evident in the third movie and at some point they end up swapping roles.

* CatchPhrase: "This one time, at band camp..." in the first film.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Getting off on Jim's porn stash is what does it.

* AmbiguouslyBi: She's already lost her virginity by the time the first movie starts. Though the gender of her loverwas never revealed, her understanding of guys hints that it was with a boy. She's last seen with a girlfriend at the reunion.

* {{Foil}}: To Michelle. Both are redhead who are associated with music (Heather with singing, Michelle with flutes). Michelle is demure and striking, while Michelle is excitable and her level of attractiveness can be better described as cute. Heather and Oz became an official couple after sleeping together, while Michelle left Jim shortly after they had sex and only became his girlfriend a year later. Heather starts the reunion separated from Oz but eventually gets back with him, while Michelle and Jim are married and have a brief period of tension before patching things up.

%%* DoggedNiceGuy: To Nadia.

%%* AloofBigBrother: To Matt.

* BreakoutCharacter: The name of Stifler has become practically synonymous with the ''American Pie'' franchise.

* TokenEvilTeammate: While his friends are also somewhat immature and perverted (it's ''American Pie'' we are talking about), Stifler is the only one who is portrayed as a shamelessly amoral and obnoxious jerk.

* TheGenericGuy: There's a reason he got sidelined in favor of Stifler and Finch.

The easygoing lacrosse player Christopher "Oz" Ostreicher tends to exaggerate his success with women, but he's at least a stinkfinger more experienced than the rest of the crew.

* DowntimeDowngrade: Oz and Hether split up sometime after graduating. This causes Oz to have an emotional breakdown, if his appearance on ''Celebrity Dance-Off'' is any indication.

* DelusionsOfEloquence: Acts suave and sophisticated, but make no mistake, he's just as sex-crazed as the other guys.

%%* NiceGirl

* BiTheWay: Implied. She pleasures herself while looking at Jim's magazines containing pictures of naked women, and when Jim walks in on her, she almost has sex with him.

** It's subtle, but the absence of Oz during Jim's engagement has shaken Stifler up some. He's gone from dismissive of the other guys to crashing Jim's engagement party because he felt left out. When Cadence shoots him down, Stifler finally starts to change into a better person.

* WackyGuy: The outrageous, over-the-top character of the franchise. UpToEleven in ''American Wedding''.

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: He makes lots of homophobic comments whenever he's trying to insult somebody. This makes him seem even more like a relic by the time of the reunion, with attitudes towards gay people improving significantly by then.

* LovableSexManiac: He's quite sex-obsessed, but still a sympathetic character.'

->''"You find a girl, you two become best friends and you don't bother counting how many times you have sex with each other you just laugh at the people who do count."''

* CasanovaWannabe: He starts out as this in the first film, despite being more athletic and handsome than his friends (to be fair, "Suck me, beautiful" wasn't exactly a good pick-up line..) He stops when he finds out women aren't turned on by it and actually gets a good CharacterDevelopment after he falls in love with Heather.

* NiceGirl: An innocent, approachable GirlNextDoor.

%%* {{Jerkass}}

* RomanticFalseLead: His interest in Mia is a major hint that he's not completely devoted to Heather.

->'''Played by:''' Mena Suvari

%%* BigBrotherMentor: To Matt.

* SadClown: In ''Reunion'', he longs for the old days but tries his best not to show it, especially in front of the other guys, and is deeply offended that they didn't bother to catch up with him for the last few years.

* TookALevelInKindness: At the end of ''American Wedding''. He's still an immature moron in the fourth movie, but this time his {{Jerkass}} moments come mostly due to him still being trapped in the past and acting like his high school self.

* TheCutie: Seen as a weird and dorky ShrinkingViolet before she picks out Jim to use in bed, and when they meet up next she is endearing in teaching him how to be a better lover.

* TheCutie: Seen as a shy and ShrinkingViolet before she picks out Jim to use in bed, and when they meet up next she is endearing in teaching him how to be a better lover.

* TheProtagonist: Of the franchise as a whole, though in ''American Wedding'' he becomes a SupportingProtagonist due to Stifler's SpotlightStealingSquad.

* HelloNurse: Obviously, being a supermodel.
