History Characters / DeadwoodGem

* BadassBeard: He sports muttonchips in the first season, but grows a beard in the second season to settle into his signature look for the show.

* {{BBW}}: Gorgeous and full-figured; particularly in contrast to the more slender Trixie.

%%* CompletelyMissingThePoint

!The Gem Staff

!Prostitutes

* {{BBW}}: Full figured, particularly in contrast to Trixie.

* TheConfidant: For Al. But he becomes angry if she ever tries to reply to his confessions.
* FieryRedhead: ''Completely'' {{averted}}. She's one of the only redheads in town, and is probably the most placid character on the show.
%%* FirstNameBasis
* HappinessInSlavery: Or at least a whole lot of resignation.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Despite Al's shabby treatment of her, Dolly still manages to have sympathy for him.
* ReplacementGoldfish: She's essentially Trixie's replacement after she leaves the Gem.
* TheQuietOne: Very demure and quiet.

* CallBack: The subplot of her [[spoiler:corpse standing in for Trixie]] receives a few flashbacks, and Johnny recalls her fondly.
* DisposableSexWorker: [[spoiler:She's killed by Al for a fuckup made by Trixie.]]

* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:Killed to save the life of Trixie.]]

* BadassBeard: He sports a frequent one. Even in beard-heavy Deadwood, Silas' facial hair stands out.

* [[SixthRanger Third Henchman]]: Adams rounds out the Dan-Johnny trio.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He's nowhere to be seen after the TimeSkip, and it's never explained what happened to him.

* LimitedWardrobe: The trope deserves a mention if only because it is taken UpToEleven. Jewel only has one dress, and it is clearly old and torn apart.

%%* {{BBW}}

%%* TheQuietOne
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: There's no sign of her following the TimeSkip, with no explanation given for her absence.

* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:Or, for meaner viewers, RedShirt.]]

* DisposableSexWorker: [[spoiler:Killed by Al for a fuckup made by Trixie.]]

%%* DisabledSnarker

%%* ServileSnarker

* {{Badass}}: Adams cuts throats with the best of them, is almost never intimidated and certainly isn't one to be crossed. Special mention goes to when Dan is beating up Hawkeye; unable to intervene, Adams focused his anger on Slippery Dan who isn't able to slip away from Adams. He slams the poor bastard into a set of antlers, prompting Tom to comment, "He just twelve-pointed Slippery Dan"
