* {{Jerkass}}: He's a dick to basically everyone around him from his neighbours, the Hammonds, to his wife and even his step-son. No one's really all that upset after [[spoiler: Joel kills him by whacking him over the head with a shovel]].

Added DiffLines:

* WrongGenreSavvy: He seems to think he's in a suburban version of ''Series/TheShield'', and acts accordingly. He never learns of the supernatural goings on, completely misjudges Joel and Sheila.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None

Added DiffLines:

* EasilyForgiven: Unlike Sheila, she doesn't try to focus on killing bad people, like murderers and Nazis. Instead she settles for random joggers. The Hammonds never hold her accountable to this, and let her leave alive, basically unleashing a SerialKiller on the world.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Being undead did a serious number on her sense of right and wrong. When she tries to take Eric on as an unwilling Familiar, the Hammonds have to spell it out for her just why this is a bad thing. It takes a while for her to comprehend what they are saying.


Added DiffLines:

* NightmareFetishist: She keeps her Mr. Ball Legs in a terrarium like one would a pet lizard, despite him being a terrifying spider-like creature with unknown needs.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Her stoic facade cracks when fighting the Hammonds, and she screams about how she wants what they have and doesn't want to be alone anymore.


Added DiffLines:

* RewatchBonus: It's easy to miss, but Romona's personality shift between appearances is a clue to her transformation. In her first appearance, while she is quiet, she seems to be just bored with her job, emotes somewhat, and all in all seems like just a deadpan snarky young woman. In her second appearance, her affect is completely flat, she speaks in a near whisper, and comes off seemingly otherworldly.

Eric.



* TheStoic: She almost never emotes and always speaks in a flat tone of voice, coming across more as a robot than a person.

to:

* TheStoic: She almost never emotes and always speaks in a flat tone of voice, coming across more as a robot than a person. This becomes a plot point, as it's actually a symptom of her undead status. According to her, she used to be a high strung and emotional Auctioneer, but always ''wanted'' to be quiet and stoic, so that's what she became when zombified.

Added DiffLines:

* WickedStepmother: He's Eric's stepfather and treats him like shit.


Added DiffLines:

* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a very cheery and good-natured middle-aged woman but she is just as militant in killing zombies as the rest of the group and even carries guns and torture devices in her purse alongside candy.


Added DiffLines:

* BadBoss: He's an awful boss to his men, horribly punishing them for the most minor slip-ups and generally being rude and unpleasant. His main two henchmen eventually abandon him because of it.
* BigBad: He's the main threat of Season Three.
* EvilPlan: He intends to harvest zombies and sell their blood, which stops aging, to beauty companies and make himself extraordinarily rich.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He can be very charming when he needs to be but shows his true monstrous nature regularly.

* VillainousParentalInstinct: Sheila frequently hallucinates about killing and eating just about everyone on the show (even those who she loves, have done nothing wrong to her and/or actively tried to help her, such as her husband) due to the strength of her HorrorHunger, but she never considers it in the case of her daughter Abby.
