* CorruptTheCutie: Started the show as the moral center and the {{Only Sane Man}} to Jax. By Season 5, while not entirely corrupted, she definitely has her share of blood on her hands.

* DespairEventHorizon: Season 6, Episode 10. After her plan to get the boys away from Gemma and the club fails and she watches every friend or ally desert her, she makes one last attempt by offering Patterson everything she knows about the club. Unfortunately, she doesn't know that Jax has already made a bigger deal in exchange for her freedom. The DA tells her that she can no longer give her a deal. Her spirit is completely broken and she leaves with the knowledge that she is all alone against a force like Gemma and the club seemingly accepting the fact that there is no escape.

* {{Beware the Nice Ones}}

* [[spoiler: Didn'tSeeThatComing: It really was surprising to see her killed, rather brutally, by Gemma with a carving fork.]]

* [[spoiler: CruelAndUnusualDeath: She gets her head dunked into a sink full of dirty dish water and is then ''repeatedly '''stabbed in the back of the head''' with a two prong fork''! One of the most brutal deaths in this series, for sure.]]

The childhood sweetheart of Jax Teller, Tara left Charming to escape the criminal lifestyle and became a successful surgeon. However, she ends up returning to the town and falling deeper in than ever before. She eventually marries Jax Teller.

* TraumaCongaLine: Specially in Season 4, it continues at the end of Season 5, and then again toward the end of Season 6.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"[[CatchPhrase I accept that.]]"'']]
->'''Played By:''' Michael Marisi Ornstein

A prison friend of Otto's who was a bookkeeper for a Triad gang. Chuck proved to be rather paranoid and also afflicted with compulsive masturbation disorder that reared itself at inopportune times. Chuck has all but his index fingers cut off when his compulsive masturbation disorder became too much for Henry Lin to tolerate. When Chuck's services were no longer needed, Lin offered to trade Chuck back to SAMCRO but Clay refused. Tig, feeling sympathetic, offered to take Chuck and promised to set him up as the new bookkeeper at Luann's studio. This turned out to be a good move as Chuck has proved himself to be a capable accomplice on numerous occasions.

* BaldOfAwesome: He's demonstrated a surprisingly amount of competency after settling on utter loyalty to the Sons.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He might be a paranoid weirdo, but he's saved the Sons plenty of times whether it's providing a distraction, disposing of bodies in chili or providing two million dollars of counterfeit money.
* ButtMonkey: Things rarely go right for him; he's targeted in prison and eventually has his fingers sliced off.
* CatchPhrase: "I accept that."
* CloudCuckooLander: In Season 5. First he speaks in limericks and when Gemma orders him to cut it out he begins to reply stuff in French.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: He has a strange compulsion where he begins masturbating at random times, sometimes unaware that he's even doing it. Eventually, Henry Lin tires of it and has his hands...'adjusted'.
* TheIgor: His main job is to shuffle about doing miscellaneous work for the Sons.
* MoralityPet: Bizarrely, for Tig, who saves him and gets him employed by the club.
* PluckyComicRelief
* StealingFromTheTill: What got him in trouble in the first place.
