History DarthWiki / PreciousThings

* TheLostLenore: Never really got over his former boyfriend's death. [[spoiler:Or so he likes to pretend; he never give a crap about him and in fact cheated on him a lot]].

** [[spoiler:KarmicDeath: Killed by the guy he treated like crap while the guy just wanted to help him and be his friend.]]

* ProperlyParanoid: Thinks that Bryon wants his blood for several reasons and is ''deathly afraid'' of him. This is [[ImproperlyParanoid eventually subverted]].

* AxCrazy: He hides it well, but Bryon is utterly and completely batshit crazy - and proud of it.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:In the Series Finale, not only he and Piero are very rich, it's implied he's finally dating Matthew]].

* {{Jerkass}}: Towards Bryon, though both were jerkasses with each another. [[spoiler:At first]].
* [[spoiler:LastGuyWins]]
* TheLostLenore: Never really got over his former boyfriend's death.

* SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond: Despite being loved by his closest friends and admired for his knowledge about films, what hurts him the most is that Matthew hates him.

* Progressively Prettier: A realistic version of this; Bryon was known as a fat, short and baldy guy with an asymmetrical face due to his facial paralysis. [[spoiler:Then everything changes in Season 9 (though he's still short).

The main character of the series, Sue is a former IdolSinger of CountryMusic who became [[ArtistDisillusionment disillusioned]] with the medium in general, tired of producers [[CastingCouch trying to sleep with her]] and decided to live a normal life, much to her mother's chagrin and frustration. She gave birth to a son, Bryon, and has adopted Leo, her former husband's son; however, in a sad twist of fate, her father dies and, not long after, Leo dies too, [[LookBothWays in a car accident]]. She decides to live with her mother, both coping with the recent losses. And this is only the ''prologue'' of the entire story.

Sue Collin's mother and Bryon Collin's grandmother, Violeta was a CoolOldLady who dreamed of being an artist in her youth, and wanted her daughter to be a successful singer. When she realised this wouldn't happen, her hopes were in ruins, at least until Bryon's birth; in fact, she wanted to be Bryon's mother and tried every single thing possible to separated him from his mother and raise him alone.

->''"I'm pretty sure it will '''flop''' very hard."''

Piero's backstory is... complicated. But basically, he's Bryon's adopted brother. Both dated for several years, beginning in Season 3. In Season 5, he and Bryon became bitter enemies, but they made a truce and became best friends for life. [[spoiler:After his mother's death in Season 7, he becames oficially Bryon's brother, since Sue adopts him]].

->''"The world is a chess board, in which people are the pawns. And I'm a damn good player."''

Sue's only biological son, Bryon was a [[AdorablyPrecociousChild Adorably Precocious]] ChildProdigy who, at the age of three, knew how to read and write. Just like his mother, he began to sing in TV shows at a very early age. However, several health problems ensued and Bryon was forced to abandon his life as a young celebrity. Not long after, he became very fat and was victim of severe [[ChildrenAreCruel bullying at school]] and home. As he grows up, the [[UsedToBeASweetKid once sweet, adorable kid]] becames a unscrupulous, deeply calculating, [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] and bitter young man. This eventually changes over time, especially when he meets Piero [[spoiler:and after his grandmother dies]].



[[spoiler:In season 9, he does a FaceHeelTurn again after Matthew humiliates him in front of Piero]].

* AdaptationalHeroism: Bryon is much, ''much'' nicer in his "Pequenos Terremotos" counterpart, Leonardo. [[spoiler:Which is ironic, since Leonardo suffers a [[LookBothSides much worse fate]] while Bryon is arguably a KarmaHoudini by the end.]]

->''"I'm not open to dialogue with '''you'''."''

Introduced in Season 5 as a mere background character, Matthew was reintroduced in Season 6 as a NiceGuy who helped Bryon to cope with his trauma of possibly being diagnosed with a tumor. [[spoiler:Actually, as revealed later, they've met several years before, but Matthew doesn't remember it]]. Became an AscendedExtra in Season 7, where things... [[{{Understatement}} doesn't go well for him]]. After several traumatic events, he became Bryon's one-sided LoveInterest, and later, ArchNemesis.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Bryon is much, ''much'' nicer in his "Pequenos Terremotos" counterpart, Leonardo.

* {{Narcissist}}: So much that he doesn't hate his physical appearance because he considers himself ugly, unworth or something like that; he hates his physical appearance because, according to his own words, ''it isn't adequate for someone so incredible and marvelous like him''.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: His fast-talking, quirky, and airheaded demeanor hides a ruthless, calculating sociopath.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: And though he doesn't admit it, he still is. Just look at his actions towards Piero and his closer friends, especially Andrei, Brian, Roderick and Enrico [[spoiler:though he's just manipulating the latter]].

* LonelyRichKid: And, after season 7, not even "rich" anymore.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: As a result of surgeries and a very messy hair treatment, he's bald since Season 5.

* AntiVillain: Of the [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Woobie]] variety. Most of his victims, however, [[AssholeVictim had it coming]].

* DarkAndTroubledPast

* BrokenBird: Life was not kind to him.

** While he's never ''explicitly'' called a sociopath, it's made repeatedly clear that he trusts no-one but himself, and doesn't believe that [[EvilCannotComprehendGood anyone would want to help another]]. Granted, this was probably brought on by his past, and he's still capable of empathy.
