History Characters / Skins

* DemotedToExtra: Essentially what happens after his Season 4 episode.

* BlueEyes: Of the second type.

* BlueEyes: Like her brother, the second type.

* BlueEyes: The first type.

* BottleFairy

* AspergerSyndrome: Provides the page quote, even. He also stands out as one of the few portrayals in the media that is both realistic ''and'' sympathetic.

* RoomFullOfCrazy: Cadet locker, rather.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: She has interracial parents.

* [[spoiler: [[AmbiguouslyGay Ambiguously Bisexual]]]]: How a lot of fans are interpreting the [[spoiler: picture of him kissing new gay character Alex]] from the latter's upcoming episode.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Anwar, although obviously minus the "heterosexual" as far as Maxxie goes.

* PutOnABus: In the Series 6 finale.

*** The friendship with Effy actually isn't that odd when you consider that Effy and Freddie's relationship is kind of an amplified version of Naomi and Emily's: Effy and Naomi both have issues with acknowledging their feelings and committing to their respective significant others, both of whom are much freer with their feelings and welcome the emotional closeness and commitment that love brings, and have trouble understanding why their girlfriends don't.

* {{Foil}}: To her sister as explained above, as well as to Naomi. Emily's close-knit family, and the fact that she's a twin, contrasts with Naomi's more independent life, as an only child with a mom who is not always around. This explains why Emily dives face-first into their relationship, going serious all at once, while Naomi is scared off by that and wants to ease into it slowly.

This explains why Emily dives face-first into their relationship, going serious all at once, while Naomi is scared off by that and wants to ease into it slowly.

* {{Foil}}: The show sets her up as Effy's foil, though they're eventually revealed to be NotSoDifferent. She is more the foil to her sister. Having a twin that is, personality-wise, one's [[PolarOppositeTwinstotal opposite]] means those differing factors are highlighted.

* TVGenius: Subverted - he has all the traits to fit the trope, but he's never made out to be any smarter than anyone else (except in terms of remembering lots of random facts). His social isolation is his defining factor. He does however excel in mathematics, as he clearly states in his form introduction.

* [[AmbiguouslyGay Ambiguously Bisexual]]: Mainly due to WordOfGod indicating the character the character was originally supposed to be bisexual, that and the character profile that lists ''{{Shortbus}}'' and ''Film/MyOwnPrivateIdaho'' as his favourite movies.

* VictoriasSecretComparment: Uses it store her mobile and wallet, and the weed she and Effy buy from Cassie.

* DifferentAsNightAndDay

* {{Foil}}: The show sets her up as Effy's foil, though they're eventually revealed to be NotSoDifferent. She is more the foil to her sister. Having a twin that is, personality-wise, one's [[DifferentAsNightAndDay total opposite]] means those differing factors are highlighted.

* DifferentAsNightAndDay

* PutOnABus: Literally, in the S6 finale.

* SuddenlySexuality: How some fans see [[spoiler: her "girl crush" on Franky]], arising as it does toward the end of the season, after all her drama with Nick. [[spoiler: And then reversed in S6, when after those feelings for Franky ''were'' developed at the end of S5, she's confirmed as straight going into S6.]]

* GirlPosse: Well, to start with anyway. [[spoiler: Not anymore.]]

* Heroic BSOD: [[spoiler: When Tony gets hit by a bus at the end of Season 1]].

* [[spoiler:WackyMarriageProposal: To Grace while quoting RomeoAndJuliet referencing FourthDateMarriage, She accepts while quoting TheTempest.]]

* LookBothWays:

* [[HesDeadJim He's Dead Jim]]: Has this reaction [[spoiler: when Chris dies]].

* TheMessiah: Appears that way at times during Season 1, especially in her "Unseen Skins" episode. She definitely isn't one in Season 2, however.

* CatchPhrase: "Fuck it".

* ShirtlessScene: With nudity.

* {{Kuudere}}

* HeyItsThatGuy: Daniel Kaluuya would later play Tealeaf in Psychoville

* HypocrisyNod: Everybody pisses on you? What goes around comes around.

* {{Tsundere}}

* SingleTargetSexuality: Naomi.

** And oddly enough, Effy as well, though the moments are fleeting. Evidenced in JJ's Season 3 episode, when they discuss Naomi's sexuality and Effy's love for Freddie, and Effy's Season 4 episode, when Naomi goes to visit Effy [[spoiler:in the psychiatric hospital following her suicide attempt]] to discuss Naomi's [[spoiler:failing]] relationship with Emily.

* HandsOffParenting: Also could be lumped in with MissingMom. Gina apparently left Naomi on her own for a year to do ... well, something. (She'd stated that she wanted to "fuck on every beach in India" before she ended up pregnant; that's the most likely explanation.) Strange because for the most part of Season 3, she was a [[GoodParents good parent]].

* StalkerWithACrush: Taken to the extreme. Sophia has a whole locker shrine dedicated to Naomi. Items include covertly taken snapshots of Naomi, Naomi's bracelet, [[{{Squick}} an old toothbrush of Naomi's]], and a Garibaldi wrapper Naomi had thrown out.

* [[IfICantHaveYou If I Can't Have You]]

* BettyAndVeronica: The show plays with this trope. The pressure Thomas is feeling from his parents and church to "stick with his culture" makes him see Andrea as the Betty to Pandora's Veronica (yes, we ''are'' talking about ''Panda'' here). By the end of the episode he realizes it's more reversed.

* InSeriesNickname: She seems to be called "Headfuck" by the other characters quite a lot...

* FriendshipMoment: He has this with Mini in his season 5 episode, as she comforts him after [[spoiler:his father ends up in the hospital]].

* [[MommasBoy Momma's Boy]]

* ShirtlessScene: [[TheDandy Complete with body moisturiser.]]
* {{Jerkass}} / {{JerkassFacade}}: [[FanDumb His musical snobbery towards anything that isn't metal is ''extremely'' grating]].

*** He does get a little better though after a few BreakTheHaughty moments.

* [[spoiler:WackyMarriageProposal: To Grace while quoting RomeoAndJuliet referencing FourthDateMarriage, She accepts while quoting TheTempest.]]

* BadBadActing: She goes into a [[{{Narm}} Narmy]] LargeHam mode during the rehearsal of the production of ''TwelfthNight''.

* KickTheDog: Making Liv drink a bottle of vodka after she's already had far too much to drink.

** Actually, she and her mother live in a low-income neighborhood, so she is far from being actually rich. Nick tells Liv in Mini's Season 5 episode that he hasn't been to Mini's home even if they've been going out for over a month, so it's possible that Mini tries to maintain a RichBitch image.

* TheThreeFacesOfEve: The child.

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]: As it seems.

!!Matthew "Matty" [[spoiler:Levan]]

* PlayingGertrude: Sebastian de Souza is younger than Sean Teale by a year, but on the show, Matty is older than Nick.

* AllGaysArePromiscuous

* [[MistakenForSubculture Mistaken For Prostitute]]

!!Geoff Cumber and Jeff Woodburn
-->Played by: John Sessions and Gareth Farr

* CatchPhrase: 'Man Up' and bizarrely 'Peace Out'
* [[EducationMama Education Papa]]

* TheShrink: A life coach and motivational speaker but still counts as an unintentional type 1

* DeathGlare: Gives quite a formidable one to [[spoiler:Rich]] while they are having dinner

* HeyItsThatGuy: Chris Addison was Ollie in TheThickOfIt

* [[ParentalSubstitute Paternal Substitute]]: Eric is probably a better father figure to Mini than her biological one, [[spoiler: especially since he tracks down a heavily-pregnant Mini before she runs away with Franky]].
* YoureNotMyFather: Mini's initial attitude towards him.

* SelectiveObliviousness: She's pretty much the only one who doesn't know Tony's been cheating on her.

* ThePreciousPreciousCar: Steals his father's car only for it to blow up after being caught driving without a license, although it's actually TheAllegedCar and it was precious for sentimental reason.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She is terrified of birds (pigeons in particular).
