* WickedStepFather: Surprisingly averted with General Joe Maxwell, Kelly's stepfather. He is strict and authoritative, but mostly because he's a ''military general'' in charge of a ''military'' school and is trying to learn how to be a good father. It causes some strain, but in the end he and Kelly do warm up and compromise with each other.
