History Characters / Evil2019

* CerebusSyndrome: The final shot of the season coupled with the fact that [[spoiler: she never seems to hold a cross before that moment]] possibly implies that [[spoiler: this whole time we have been watching her slow possession]].

* ActionMom: Takes on the greatest evils of the world whilst trying to raise her four young daughters.

* BrokenBird: Shows signs of this even before the events of the show. She has weekly therapy sessions and has admitted to being 'too soft'. Her overall demeanor also fits as she can be quite cynical and sarcastic, but she is very loving nonetheless.
* CatScare: The orange cat her and her husband find in their house really does not like Kristen. [[spoiler: This is most likely due to the cat sensing her corruption already]].

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: In '3 stars' she helps the mother of a boy that Townsend wants to retry and send to adult prison even though she's not responsible for his case anymore. This means she has to deal with him again, something she could have technically avoided.
* FaceYourFears: By the end of the first season [[spoiler: she stabs her tormentor George to death in her night terror]].
* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: Inverted. She arguably does more sketchy things than either of her male colleagues
* HeroicBSoD: At the end of Rose 390 the team realises that [[spoiler: the psychopathic boy they have been trying to assess was killed by his parents in order to protect their newborn baby]]. When Kristen is on the couch with her girls later that day she runs to her kitchen where she breaks down crying.
* MamaBear: In the pilot her daughter Lila tells her a man called threatening her about her student loans. Kristen doesn't take too kindly to this and tells her former employer that they can go ahead and scare her, but NOT her children. The final catalyst for her in the series finale [[spoiler: snapping and possibly killing Orson [=Leroux=]]] also seems to be that [[spoiler: he broke into her house and left a gift basket there whilst her children were home alone]].
* NightmareSequence: Though all her night terrors with George are already awful, she suffers through a particularly awful sequence of nightmares in nightmares where even the audience doesn't know what is real.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: perhaps her establishing character moment in the pilot is telling her boss he can 'find someone else to lie for him on the stand' in front of the judge he was talking to.
* SheWhoFightsMonsters: She constantly gets driven into murkier and murkier moral territory, mostly by Dr Townsend. [[spoiler: by the series finale its clear that she has unwillingly opened herself to evil]].

* StupidSexyFriend: On top of everything else she has to deal with her attraction to David despite having a husband. George taunting her about this in her dreams suggests that she feels guilt about it. In '2 Fathers' she and David get [[spoiler: high on sangria spiked with psylocybine leading them to almost kiss]].

* YourWorstNightmare: Her night terrors with George are awful. This is true in particular in the pilot when she does not yet know if she is dreaming or not. He starts slicing off her fingers whilst mocking her with her own true or false questions.

* MyGodWhatHaveIdone: in the very last shot of the first season we see her [[spoiler: placing a rosary on her palm and getting burnt by it]]. The look she givers herself in the mirror is akin to this.

* CorruptTheCutie: Coupled with *SheWhoFightsMonsters* this seems to be the journey she is set on over the course of the first season. Going from cowering at Townsend's threats in the pilot to [[spoiler: both verbally and phsyically assaulting him]].

* AdultFear: [[spoiler: Finding out your daughter has been born from an invitro clinic that may or may not be controlled by demons]].

* CatScare: The orange cat her and her husband find in their house really does not like Kristen. [[spoiler: This is most likely due to the cat sensing her corruption]].
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: In '3 stars' she helps the mother of a boy that Townsend wants to retry and send to adult prison even though she's not responsible for his case anymore.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: perhaps her establishing character moment in the pilot is telling her boss he can find 'someone else to lie for him on the stand' in front of the judge he was talking to.

* SheWhoFightsMonsters: She constantly gets driven into murkier and murkier moral territory, mostly by Dr Townsend. [[spoiler: by the series finale its clear that she has unwillingly opened herself to evil]].

* NightmareSequence: though all her night terrors with George are already awful, she suffers through a particularly awful sequence of nightmares in nightmares where even the audience doesn't know what is real.

* CatScare: The orange cat her and her husband find in their house really does not like Kristen. [[spoiler: this is most likely due to the cat sensing her corruption]].

* AdultFear: [[spoiler: finding out your daughter has been born from an invitro clinic that may or may not be controlled by demons]].

* SheWhoFightsMonsters: She constantly gets pushed into murkier and murkier territory. [[spoiler: by the series finale its clear that she has opened herself to evil]].

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: She has a revenge fantasy dream in which she [[spoiler: attacks Orson Leroux instead of him attacking her]]. This might be foreshadowing for the fact that she [[spoiler: may be the one who killed him]].

* AdultFear: [[spoiler: finding out your daughter has been born from an invitro clinic that may or not be controlled by demons]].
* BeingGoodSucks: By the end of the first season its safe to say she has not exactly been rewarded by the universe for her good deeds.

* BewareTheHonestOnes: She holds herself to a high moral standard and often says her allegiance is always to the truth. [[spoiler: By the end of the season she has used a deepfake in court, slashed a man's throat and even potentially murdered someone]].

* CatScare: The cute orange cat her and her husband find in their house really does not like Kristen. [[spoiler: this might be because animals can supposedly sense corruption in someone and it is possible that she was already possessed by this point]].
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: In '3 stars' she helps the mother of a boy that Townsend wants to retry and send to adult prison.

* YourWorstNightmare: Her night terrors with George are awful. This is true in particular in the pilot when she does not yet know if she is dreaming or not and he starts slicing off her fingers, mocking her with her own true or false questions.

* CatScare: the cat her and her husband find in their house really does not like Kristen. [[spoiler: perhaps because it can sense she has been corrupted?]].

* MamaBear: In the pilot her daughter Lila tells her a man called threatening her about her student loans. Kristen doesn't take too kindly to this and tells her former employer that they can go ahead and scare her, but NOT her children. The final catalyst for her in the series finale [[spoiler: snapping and possibly killing Orson [=Leroux=]]] also seems to be that [[spoiler: he broke into her house and left a gift basket there whilst her children were home alone]]. All of this seems to point in the direction that Kristen will be driven to villany.

*

* NotSoAboveItAll: it's pretty clear she enjoys her brutal takedown of Townsend even going as far as to comment on his impotence.

* HeroicBSoD: At the end of Rose 390 the team realises that [[spoiler: the psychopathic boy they have been trying to assess was killed by his parents in order to protect their newborn baby]]. When Kristen is on the couch with her girls later that day she runs to her kitchen where she breaks down.

* BeingGoodSucks: By the end of the first season its safe to say she is not exactly better off than before her new job.

* SheWhoFightsMonsters:

* StrugglingSingleMother: She's not actually single, but faces many of the same situations because her husband is absent for much of the time and his income from guiding climbers in the Himalayas is unpredictable.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight!: perhaps her establishing character moment in the pilot is telling her boss he can find 'someone else to lie for him on the stand' in front of the judge.

* ScrewTheRulesI'mDoingWhat'sRight!: perhaps her establishing character moment in the pilot is telling her boss he can find 'someone else to lie for him on the stand' in front of the judge.

A forensic psychologist who has worked with the DA's office and now serves as psych consultant for David's team. Kristen has stayed in New York to raise her four daughters while husband Andy works as a mountain guide. She's an accomplished mountain climber herself, but gave up on it after having her daughters.

* BeingGoodSucks: By the end of the first season she has definitely been put through the ringer.
* BrokenBird: Shows signs of this even before the events of the show. She has weekly therapy sessions and has admitted to being 'too soft'. Her overall demeanor also fits as she can be quite cynical and sarcastic, but she is loving nonetheless.

* HeroicBSoD: At the end of Rose 390 the team realises that [[spoiler: the psychopathic boy they have been trying to help was killed by his parents in order to protect their baby]]. When Kristen is on the couch with her girls later that day she runs to her kitchen where she breaks down.
