* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he's maintained a reputation that ensures his students don't consider him to be so the reader is able to see that he's actually quite reasonable. For instance he definitely knows Colton stole his beloved car and while he's furious about it he doesn't call the authorities and tries to give Colton a chance to anonymously return the thing. Unfortunately unbeknownst to him the car fell into a sinkhole. With this in mind his decision to expel Colton after he's caught stealing again, in combination with all of the ''other'' trouble Colton has gotten into, looks far less unreasonable.

In one of the last flashbacks shown of her it's revealed that [[spoiler:she decided to commit suicide to free herself of Calamity]].

*AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Considered a freak by most of the school



*AmnesiacHero: Doesn't remember the most recent summer



*BrilliantButLazy: Tutored Heathcliff and is mentioned to have had great grades, but where the story starts she's just gotten so jaded that she doesn't try anymore; rarely paying attention in class and allowing her grades to slide. It is justified, though.

His threats and insults have a lot less bite to them too, being no worse than "Don't make me hurt you." rather than, "I'll kill you."

She's also aware of Tristan's condition and keeps it a secret while helping Langstrom treat him.
