History Characters / DixPourCent

* ButNotTooBlack & ButNotTooWhite: She struggles to land casting calls partly because as a biracial actress, she is considered too black to play white characters, too white to play black characters, or just too exotic in general.

* ProneToTears: It's not uncommon to see her having a hysterical breakdown, particularly in Season 4, when this happens pretty much OnceAnEpisode. Generally it's PlayedForLaughs.

* NervousWreck: Virtually anything can send her into an anxious tailspin. In one episode, when her attempts to reach Mathias by phone repeatedly fail, [[ImproperlyParanoid she gets so worried]] that calls every hospital in Paris before hiring a team of firefighters to break down the door to his apartment.

* SecretOtherFamily: She's is Mathias' daughter from a long-ago assignation. Mathias has a wife and a son in Paris who have no idea about her, causing a major SurpriseIncest problem when Mathias's son Hippolyte falls for Camille.

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Starting when she playfully flashes one of her breasts at Mathias at work (much to his shock), Noémie turns into the series' resident MsFanservice, with her nudity becoming a OnceASeason occurrence and culminating in her [[NakedPeopleAreFunny comedic full-frontal scene]] in the Season 4 premiere. This ''really'' stands out in a show in which all the other characters either remain clothed or are granted [[SceneryCensor Scenery Censors]].

* MsFanservice: An InUniverse example--she apparently spends most of her screen time in Julien Doré's "erotic musical" ''The Orgasm Of The Ocean'' naked, although she later complains that he edited out the scenes in which she was wearing clothes.

* ShrinkingViolet: He tends to be pretty conflict-avoidant, and hates disappointing the actors he represents.

* PragmaticAntiHero: Mathias is a [[TheCynic deeply cynical]] and business-oriented man whose main focus is on the bottom line, and who demonstrates little care for morality [[JerkToNiceGuyPlot until the very end of the series]].

* FakeAristocrat: He comes across as being a man of significant means, but it's really his wife Catherine whose family has all the money. (Funnily enough, his actor, Thibault de Montalembert, is a direct descendant of the old French noble class.)

* PragmaticAntiHero: A [[TheCynic cynical]], business-oriented agent whose main focus is on the bottom line, and who demonstrates little care for morality [[JerkToNiceGuyPlot until the very end of the series]].

* TokenEvilTeammate: Mathias is the most ambitious, backstabbing and venal of the agents. His colleagues don't trust him, nor do they like him much.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Arlette is TheStoic of the [=ASK=] offices, but she's truly ''shattered'' when [[spoiler:her dog Jean-Gabin dies in the final episode.]]

* YourCheatingHeart: As a young man, he cheated on his wife Catherine with Annick Valentini (Camille was the product of this fling), and then in the present day he has sex with Noémie while still married. Catherine eventually returns the favor by having an affair of her own, and the two mutually separate at the end of Season 3.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Although Arlette is TheStoic of the [=ASK=] offices, she's truly ''shattered'' when [[spoiler:her dog Jean-Gabin dies in the final episode.]]

* TokenEvilTeammate: The most ambitious, backstabbing and venal of the agents. His colleagues don't trust him, and he has no genuine friends in the business (aside from Noémie, who is enamored with him).

* WeakWilled: Camille's greatest flaw. She's easily pressured into bad ideas by those (particularly Hervé) who have more dominant or outgoing personalities than she does, and her kind, self-sacrificing nature often gets taken advantage of by those with more opportunistic motivations. Her CharacterDevelopment revolves largely around her learning to put her foot down and to trust her own judgement.

* JerkassBall: Picks it up in Season 4, when she befriends another actress named Mel, whose ToxicFriendInfluence leads her to act like a diva. When she finds out that Mel has actually been trying to prevent her from landing projects, Sofia cuts ties and returns to her normal self.

* MeanBoss: Hicham is competent and genuinely cares about the job, but his tolerance for mistakes is extremely low and he steamrolls everybody he comes into contact with, generally behaving like a jerk. [[spoiler: Eventually, in season 3, he begins to make an effort to be a nicer person after realizing that literally nobody likes him.]]

* NiceGal: Is consistently nice to Camille, even after she finds out that she's Mathias' daughter. And while she's justifiably furious at Mathias for cheating on her, when she was ''pregnant'' no less, she seems prepared to believe that he's grown and changed in the interim.

* TokenEvilTeammate: The most ambitious, backstabbing and venal of the agents. None of his own colleagues trust him.

* LoserProtagonist: Averted. Gabriel is a short, dishevelled-looking guy who sometimes has trouble standing up for himself, but he's also a great agent, and several legitimately gorgeous women--including ''Creator/MonicaBellucci''--become attracted to him over the course of the series.

* WeakWilled: Camille's greatest flaw. She's easily pressured into bad ideas by those (particularly Hervé) who have more dominant or outgoing personalities than she does, and other people (notably Sofia when she temporarily picks up the JerkassBall in Season 4) tend to use her kind, self-sacrificing nature to their own advantage. Her CharacterDevelopment revolves largely around her learning to put her foot down and to trust her own judgement.

* SucksAtDancing: She doesn't know how to breakdance.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: In Season 4, she befriends another actress named Mel, whose influence leads her to act [[JerkassBall like a diva]]. When she finds out that Mel has actually been trying to prevent her from landing projects, Sofia cuts ties and returns to her normal self.

* CreepyTwins: Her two assistants, who aren't really twins but do look very similar, and who are characterized as brainless blonde automatons who exist to carry out her orders. Elise refers to them as "my girls" and thinks they're fantastic. Everyone at [=ASK=] finds them extremely off-putting.

* WeakWilled: Her greatest flaw is that she's easily pressured into bad ideas by those (particularly Hervé) who have more dominant or outgoing personalities than she does, with her CharacterDevelopment revolving largely around her learning to trust her own judgement.

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Starting when she playfully flashes one of her breasts at Mathias at work (much to his shock), Noémie becomes the series' resident MsFanservice, with her nudity being OnceASeason occurrence and culminating in her [[NakedPeopleAreFunny comedic full-frontal scene]] in the Season 4 premiere. This ''really'' stands out in a show in which all the other characters either remain clothed or are granted [[SceneryCensor Scenery Censors]].

* WeakWilled: Her greatest flaw is that she's easily pressured into bad ideas by those (e.g her father and Hervé) who have more dominant or outgoing personalities than she does, with her CharacterDevelopment revolving largely around her learning to trust her own judgement.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Andréa and Gabriel both seem to think that Elise is a closeted lesbian, but she's also apparently having an affair with Igor, the head of Mediawan (although, given her manipulative nature, this could just be PragmaticPansexuality).
* CastingGag: Elise coaches Mathias on how to help her poach the popular comedian and actor Dany Boon for [=StarMédia=]. Anne Marivin played Boon's love interest in the French box-office smash hit ''Bienvenue Chez Les Ch'tis'', which gets referenced several times in the series.

* CreepyTwins: Her two assistants, who aren't really twins but do look very similar, and who are characterized as brainless blonde automatons who exist to carry out Elise's orders. Elise refers to them as "my girls" and thinks they're fantastic. Everyone at [=ASK=] finds them extremely off-putting.

* CreepyTwins: Her two assistants, who aren't really twins but who look very similar, and whose characterization is essentially that of brainless automatons who exist to do Elise's bidding. Everyone at [=ASK=] finds them unsettling.

* ProneToTears: She's very prone to having hysterical breakdowns (particularly in Season 4, when it happens pretty much OnceAnEpisode). Generally it's PlayedForLaughs.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Starting when she playfully flashes one of her breasts at Mathias at work (much to his shock), Noémie becomes the series' resident MsFanservice, with her nudity being a OnceASeason occurrence and culminating in her surprisingly graphic (albeit [[NakedPeopleAreFunny comedic]]) full-frontal scene in the Season 4 premiere. This ''really'' stands out in a show in which all the other characters either remain clothed or are granted [[SceneryCensor Scenery Censors]].

* AmbiguouslyBi: Andréa and Gabriel both seem to think that she's a closeted lesbian, but she's also apparently having an affair with Igor, the head of Mediawan (although, given her manipulative nature, this could just be PragmaticPansexuality).

* VilerNewVillain: She's introduced in the fourth season and by the end of it, she's managed to make even Mathias look like a paragon of honesty.

* FakeAristocrat: He comes across as being a man of significant means, but it's really his wife Catherine whose family has all the money. (Funnily enough, his actor, Thibault de Montalembert, is a direct descendant of the now-defunct French nobility.)
