* Hypocrite: Denounces humanity (and particularly the humans that don't fall in line with her) as vain and prideful. Yet she visually basks in the attention she gets from her followers, even calling herself "Mother Carmody" and "God's vessel." All is revealed in David's final confrontation with her, where she demands his boy be sacrificed just to spite him. As the situation escalates, she demands Amanda too be sacrificed over an earlier slight, and eventually orders David's group killed for not following her.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: The crux of Carmody's following. She prophesies doom for every venture outside the supermarket, and correctly predicts an attack, but incorrectly posits that the Mist is the product of Biblical Armageddon, rather than a military mishap. The film goes to great lengths to show how she spins recent tragedies to fuel her growing following.
