* HeroesWantRedheads: Laura has red hair, and he develops a crush on her during their first real conversation.

%%* TheTeam

-->'' 'There are twenty-three ways of combatting an assailant armed with a blunt object from this position. Four of them will kill you, twelve of them will permanently disable you and the remaining seven will cause injuries that, while being extremely painful, you will at least recover from. In all of them I take that pipe from you and use it on you.' ''

* TheChosenMany: is a member of the [[spoiler:Zero Hour]] program.
* ConverseWithTheUnconscious: Reads to [[spoiler:Otto every day after school]] while the latter is in a coma.

* Determinator: stays on the Island despite having the opportunity to leave so he can find his mother's killer.

* FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo: two major examples:

** Is the uncle of [[spoiler:Otto, whose father, Overlord, was created by his parents. Considering he's a clone, this may make Wing technically his brother.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: with Otto
* ICantDoThisByMyself: gives a speech of this to Otto in book one.

* [[spoiler:OfficialCouple: With Shelby in book six]].
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: the Savvy Guy to Shelby's Energetic Girl.

* BigDamnReunion: In Bloodline, [[spoiler:her reunion with Otto after the loss of his first body and the destruction of the school is the final sentence of the entire series.]]
* [[spoiler:BreakTheCutie: Very much so in Aftershock, when she is forced to betray the H.I.V.E. and cause the death of almost all of the Alpha stream]].

* ChallengeSeeker: She and Otto compete to steal the exam answers so often that [[spoiler:she uses this excuse in Aftershock to get the location of the Hunt grounds]].
* [[spoiler:CinderellaCircumstance: As one of the greatest programmers on the planet, she's sent to the Glasshouse to train to fight and forbidden from using the computers. It's later revealed she's really only there to be Anastasia's plaything.]]
* {{Claustrophobia}}: First demonstrates this in Escape Velocity.

* [[spoiler:TheCommiesMadeMeDoIt: Played straight. Pretty much the whole point of Aftershock. They use her brother.]]
* CrushBlush: Most non-combat(or hacking-related) situations with Otto cause her to turn pink. [[spoiler:Averted after their first kiss.]]

* DesignatedVictim: is captured or held hostage in every single volume. However, she can take care of herself, and is almost always involved in her own rescue, usually coordinating with someone else who is also being held at the time.
* Determinator: when she is taken to the [[spoiler:Glasshouse,]] it is noted that she is the only Alpha who hasn't [[spoiler:been "broken". She eventually, after months of solitary confinement, is able to formulate a plan that ultimately alerts Nero to their location.]] Even after [[spoiler:hours of torture and MindRape at the hands of Zero, she still decides to stay in the Alpha program.]]
* TheDividual: many of their friends see Otto and Laura as this, but when they are alone things are much less synergistic.

* [[spoiler:GreenEyedMonster: After she finds out about Otto and Lucy's relationship in Zero Hour]].
* [[spoiler:HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Played with. Of the two times she gave up valuable information to Anastasia Furan, once was to save her family and the other was because she was under mind control.]]
* [[spoiler:HomeSweetHome: Her epilogue shows her having left the rest of the cast behind and returned to Scotland to be with her family after Otto's death, doing her best to think nothing of the events of the series that came before.]]

* HypnotizeTheCaptive: [[spoiler:After successfully writing a virus that brings the H.I.V.E. forces to her (and the other Alphas') rescue in Deadlock, Zero uses his mind control on her to find out about their forces and plans.

* InvisibleParents: she talks about her parents a lot, but Andrew and Mary Brand aren't introduced [[spoiler:until book seven.]]
* LapPillow: is one to Otto in ''Rogue''.

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: is this more and more to Otto as he begins to spiral towards the end of the series. It's not depicted as unhealthy, as they have always relied on each other.
-> '''Otto''': You make me more human.

* MotivationalKiss: gives one to [[spoiler:Otto]] in ''Aftershock.'' Turned out it was a [[spoiler:NowOrNeverKiss because she knew he'd find out she was the leak.]]

* [[spoiler:NowOrNeverKiss: see MotivationalKiss]]
* [[spoiler:PairTheSmartOnes: with Otto]].

* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: let's count. The EMP device she and Otto build in book one, the virus she accesses from her old dropbox in book four, the Hackbox, the [[spoiler:virus that alerts Otto of her location in Deadlock]], and most notably the gun she gets from [[spoiler:Cypher]] in book five, which uses the [[spoiler:ying-yang necklaces to evict Overlord from Otto's body.]]

* [[spoiler:TemporarilyAVillain: In book seven.]]

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: the tomboy to Shelby's girly girl.

* [[spoiler:VillainCorner: In ''Aftershock'', she conspicuously does not narrate until after TheReveal.]]
* WhatBeatifulEyes: With Otto as a narrator, it's impossible to forget how pretty he thinks her green eyes are.
* WomenAreWiser: States multiple times that she is always right. In Aftershock, Otto tells her everything will be all right, and she should believe her because "I'm always right, remember?" [[spoiler: This disregard for her previous statements proves Otto wrong, as less than ten minutes later all hell breaks loose.]]

* [[spoiler:BabiesEverAfter: A variation. In the epilogue, she and Wing have founded and are running an orphanage.]]

* [[spoiler:BattleCouple: Played straight with Wing beginning in Zero Hour, after five and a half books of ShipTease]].
* BeautyBrainsandBrawn: The brawn to Laura's Brains and Lucy's Beauty.

* [[spoiler:BetaCouple: with Wing]]
* BerserkButton: messing with Laura or Wing will get you in serious trouble.
* BigDamnHeroes: her entire attitude during the [[spoiler:rescue mission in ''Deadlock.'']]

* TheChosenMany: is a member of the [[spoiler:Zero Hour]] program.
* CommonLawMarriage: [[spoiler: at the end of the series, she and Wing live together and are raising at least ten children at the orphanage they founded, but they aren't married. Yet?]]

* Determinator: after Wing's [[spoiler:apparent death]] in book two, she actually [[spoiler:''breaks through the Contessa's mind control to attack her'' in revenge.]] Impressive.

* [[spoiler:FinalGirl]]: Quite literally, as she is the last [[spoiler:female Alpha at the end of Aftershock.]]

* FriendlyTickleTorture:[[spoiler: in Aftershock, Wing says she does this to him if she thinks he's lying.]]

* MistakenForCheating: when [[spoiler:Tom]] enters the scene in ''Aftershock'', she is pretty DistractedByTheSexy. Wing, understandably, is concerned, especially when [[spoiler: the flirting continues a few days later.]]

* [[spoiler:OfficialCouple: with Wing in book six]].
* PopularIsDumb: Subverted.

* ShipperOnDeck: To Otto and Laura for just about every book [[spoiler: until Zero Hour when she drops the occasional Otto/Lucy comment.]]

* BerserkButton: they will each defend the others with their lives if you so much as insult another.

* Determinator: all of them so far, except [[spoiler: Penny, who pretty much gives up after Tom's death.]]
* [[DoomedMoralVictor: At the end, he realizes he can't defeat Anna without using a powerup in the form of Animus residue collected from the site of Lucy and Overlord's death by nuclear bomb. He knows using it will kill him, so he waits until it's apparent he'd otherwise die, and after that, well, he does.]]

* IHaveYourWife: all of them are pretty pathetically manipulated by putting each other in danger.

* AnticipatoryBreathSpray: [[spoiler:before entering Laura's room in the Glasshouse, he takes off his helmet and straightens his hair. It seems he was anticipating a much... happier reunion than the one he got.]]

* BirthDeathJuxtaposition: [[spoiler:at the climax of Bloodline, H.I.V.E.mind forceably removes Otto from his Animus-infested, irradiated body and sends him to a cloning vat in the Cradle, which is in Siberia. As the school explodes, and the rest of the cast watches it fall into the sea, the cloning vat begins to fill with liquid and count down until his rebirth.]]
* BlackEyesofCrazy: in ''Rogue'', and again later [[spoiler: at the end of Bloodline, when he uses irradiated Animus residue for a DeadlyUpgrade.]]

* CannotSpitItOut: [[spoiler: in Aftershock, he spends half of a page trying to confess his love to Laura.]]

* TeenGenius: The series starts on his thirteenth birthday, just pushing him into this territory.
* CluelessChickMagnet: until [[spoiler:Zero Hour. He isn't much to look at, but the fact that he's nice to everyone who's nice to him gets him pretty far.]]

* Determinator: after [[spoiler:Laura, Nigel, Tom, and Penny are taken to the Glasshouse,]] Otto gets himself [[spoiler:expelled and spends the next several months in the outside world with Raven, H.I.V.E.mind, and Diabolus searching for them.]] Ultimately, he uses his abilities to try to break through the encryption on [[spoiler:Gretchen's transmitter,]] which he knows has a such a high chance of killing him that he doesn't let Wing or Shelby even be in the room.

* DidNotGetTheGirl: [[spoiler:at the end of ''Zero Hour,'' due to Lucy's death.]]
* TheDividual: many of their friends see Otto and Laura as this, but when they are alone things are much less synergistic.

* DyingDeclarationOfLove:[[spoiler: Averted with a NotQuiteDead in Rogue, but he still confesses his love to Laura immediately before falling unconscious]].
** And again in Bloodline, [[spoiler: when he's actually dying, except that he and Laura have been dating for some time.]]
-> Otto: [[spoiler: Love you Laura, love you all.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: And ''how''. After [[spoiler: Growing up with a FriendlessBackground in an orphanage run by a woman who is clearly FosteringForProfit, he finally finds true happiness and companionship at H.I.V.E., only to find out he's only there to be a spare body for an {{AIIsACrapshoot omnicidal AI}}, and intended to die at the age of roughly 15. He saves the United States from the eruption of Yellowstone, and is rewarded by being taken into custody by a government organization that is really a front for the same evil A.I., and has his body taken over. For several months, he's forced to kill people for this organization while being a prisoner in his own body, all while Overlord grows and tries to kill him in his head. He's rescued by his friends after this, but suffers from post-traumatic stress for the rest of the series. Things start to look up for him when teammate Lucy takes a romantic interest in him, but she sacrifices herself for him roughly 36 hours later in the final fight with Overlord. This gives Otto a bit of a complex about romance and people sacrificing themselves for him, so he pulls away from Laura in the following book, only to realize he missed the fact that she was being blackmailed into betraying H.I.V.E. right under his nose. She is captured by Anastasia Furan, so he drops out of school and spends the next several months trying to find her. When they are finally reunited, he finds out that someone has been cloning him to try to make their own army of people with his unique abilities, except far more powerful. He gets to relax and be happy with Laura for what looks like roughly a year before the final volume, but once the next clone breaks loose, it's clear they're in a losing battle, and the only way for them to win is if he uses a DeadlyUpgrade that will give him the power to kill both himself and the clone. This is only achieved after she has killed hordes of people and rendered the island uninhabitable. So, right as the island is about to be nuked to contain the clone, Otto lies dying in the data room, and H,I.V.E.mind pulls his consciousness from his body, sending it to a cloning vat where he can be regrown over the course of a year. After a year passes, and almost everyone has moved on with their lives in various ways, Otto wakes up and goes to find Laura in Scotland so he can finally live in peace. In ''the final sentence'' of the entire series.]]

* FirstKiss: [[spoiler:with either Laura or Lucy. It's unclear because he seemed to kiss Laura in ''Escape Velocity'', but this is never mentioned again. He later kisses Lucy, and then Laura in ''Aftershock,'' but that's never mentioned again either. He kisses Laura yet again in ''Deadlock.'' [[OfficialCouple It sticks.]]]]
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:Not only does Overlord/Number One want to do this to Otto, but he does get taken over by the Animus at the end of Dreadnought. It's the entire purpose of his poweret.]]

* PursuedProtagonist: books [[spoiler:three, four, six, seven, and eight.]]
* RoaringRampageOfRescue: he and H.I.V.E.mind go on one to save [[spoiler: Laura, Nigel, Tom, and Penny]] from the end of Aftershock to the end of Deadlock.
* SiblingTeam: [[spoiler:depending on whether H.I.V.E.mind would be considered his brother or his uncle, the two share a body for most of the second half of the series, are close friends, and work together to accomplish most everything they achieve.]]
* ShootTheHostageTaker: when [[spoiler:Zero tries to get him to shoot Laura]], he turns the gun on him.

* SuicidalOverconfidence: due to his knack with computers, Otto believes he can pilot anything if he can get his hands on it. Despite his teammates' wariness, the entire escape plan in book one hinges on this to escape via submarine(and later, a helicopter, after a change of plans). In ''Aftershock'', it's revealed that [[spoiler:he is actually really, really bad at flying helicopters. Comically so.]]

* ThePowerOfFriendship: how he and H.I.V.E.mind fight together.

* TranquilFury: Shown most during the scene in Deadlock with Matt Rodney, but it's implied that's the state he's been in since the end of Aftershock.
* UndyingLoyalty: At the end of Aftershock, he takes the majority of the blame for [[spoiler:the massacre of the Alpha stream, so that the last three members can stay at the H.I.V.E. after his expulsion.]]
* UnreliableNarrator: gets a more and more acute case of this as the series goes on. In book 6, he has a lot of internal struggle, but in books 7 and 8, it's clear he's become very good at not thinking about things he doesn't like to, such as [[spoiler: Lucy's death, and the fact that he thinks Laura died through most of Deadlock, which he only mentions once near the end in his internal narration.]] In Bloodline, [[spoiler: Anna forceably starts making him think more and more about Lucy's death, but what we don't see until the very end of the book is that he decided he would die about halfway through it. We see him express fear and worry in private, but he keeps a brave face around others and in his thoughts.]]

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: after [[spoiler:connecting his internal computer to the internet, he has to stop himself constantly from dwelling on the temptation to take over.]]

%%* AwesomeMcCoolname

When Otto comes to rescue her, she's dazed and implied to be heavily brain damaged.]]
