Line #4 Characters/Jett


1	!Main
2
3	!!Daisy "Jett" Kowalski
4	->'''Played by''': Creator/CarlaGugino
5	----
6	* TheAce: Jett is generally considered one of the best thief's around and frequently shows exactly why.
7	* AfraidOfBlood: Strongly averted. At one point she essentially watches a guy bleed out on her and doesn't bat an eyelid.
8	* AloofAlly: Seems to be this in most of the jobs she takes.
9	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Jett can go from warm and personable to shockingly ruthless in the blink of an eye.
10	* TheCharmer: Jett can be very charismatic and skilled at talking her way out of trouble when she needs to be.
11	* ConsummateProfessional: Jett is a professional who takes her work seriously, avoids unnecessary trouble and keeps things as impersonal as possible.
12	* DeadpanSnarker: On the rare occasions that Jett ever displays any kind of humor, it will be this kind.
13	* DoNotCallMePaul: No one ever dares call her Daisy with Maria being the only person to do so on a regular basis due to their close relationship.
14	* FluffyTheTerrible: Discussed as she was given the nickname "Jett" due to Daisy being seen as an ill fit for a ruthless criminal.
15	* GoodIsBoring: It wasn't particularly difficult to get her back into a life of crime.
16	* LadyInRed: When she seduces Charlie Baudelaire.
17	* ALighterShadeOfGrey: She tries not to kill anybody unless she absolutely has to and sees herself as being ''just'' a thief rather than an assassin. She continues to maintain that this is true even after she's shot several people, including [[spoiler: Charles Junior.]]
18	* StacysMom: Gets this treatment from two younger guys she bumps into in a building.
19	* HadToBeSharp
20	* HeroicBSOD: When she learns about [[spoiler: Alice's kidnapping]], she's very upset and breaks down. It's essentially the first time she shows any emotion at all.
21	* IceQueen: Defrosts when she's around her daughter.
22	* IWorkAlone: Whenever she can.
23	* MercyKill: At his request, she [[spoiler: suffocates her paraplegic ex-crime boss Frank Sweeney with a VorpalPillow.]]
24	* MsFanservice: Being played Carla Gugino makes her one by default and Jett even spends a good portion of one episode completely naked.
25	* NervesOfSteel: Very rarely shows any sign of fear.
26	* TheOneThatGotAway: Rufus Quinn. [[spoiler: He's killed by Miljan Bestic in the first episode.]]
27	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Rarely gets called "Daisy Kowalski." Frank Sweeney gave her the nickname after deciding that Daisy was a bad name for a member of an organized crime ring. Maria is just about the only character who still calls her "Daisy" and probably the only person who could get away with doing so either.
28	* TheStoic: Jett is always calm, reserved and unemotional.
29
30	!!Charlie Baudelaire
31	->'''Played by''': Creator/GiancarloEsposito
32	----
33	* BenevolentBoss: He certainly seems to respect Bennie and Carl, and treats them fairly.
34	* BerserkButton: He's perfectly pleasant unless you mess with his plans or try to rip him off.
35	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Can be absolutely ''ruthless'' when he feels that he needs to.
36	* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: Well, Captain Smooth, at least.
37	* HandsOffParenting: Appears to have done this, with elements of WhenYouComingHomeDad, with Charles Junior, which has led to the latter developing a massive inferiority complex. Despite this, he seems to genuinely love Charles Junior and even has quite a strong case of LoveMakesYouDumb with regards to his son's often very troubling behavior.
38	* TheLeader: The mastermind variety.
39	* NeatFreak: He gets bent out of joint when he discovers somebody has messed with the organization of his record collection.
40	* {{Schemer}}
41	* VillainousBSOD: [[spoiler: When Jett shoots Charles Junior, he is utterly speechless, and pretty obviously distraught.]]
42
43	!!Maria
44	->'''Played by''': Elena Anaya
45	----
46	* BilingualDialogue: Her conversations with Jett often feature this. Jett appears to be able to understand Maria's Spanish.
47	* TheCaretaker: Is this for Alice when she's not with Jett.
48	* TheCassandra: It's rarely touched on but she seems to have visions of future events.
49	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Jett, though for some viewers they seem more AmbiguouslyBi.
50	* LoyaltyMission: At Jett's request, Maria poses as a social worker to ensure that she gains custody of Alice after her birth.
51	* MamaBear: She is incredibly protective over anybody she sees as her family.
52	* [[spoiler: UncertainDoom: Evans tries to smother her with a VorpalPillow at the end of the first season. She struggles for a while, before he eventually punches her out. It's unclear whether or not she survived this, but given how ill and weak she was, it seems somewhat unlikely.]]
53	* YourDaysAreNumbered: Seven years prior to the events of the series she is given one year to live. While she has managed to survive up to the present point in the timeline, she recognizes that she's living on borrowed time and welcomes Phoenix into the household as a possible replacement.

56	->'''Played by''': Creator/MichaelAronov

58	* HeroicBSOD: When he finds out about [[spoiler: Josie's death.]]
59	* {{Hypocrite}}: Wants Josie to himself despite the fact that he is cheating on his own wife with her.
60	* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: At the end of the first season finale, he's revealed to be Alice's father.]]
61	* OldFlame: He and Jett are this for each other.
62	* RevengeBeforeReason: He is determined to get revenge on [[spoiler: the men who murdered Josie. This entails killing basically anybody who had anything to do with her death, or is getting in the way of him reaching his ultimate goal (Charles Junior).]]
63	* RussianRoulette: [[spoiler: Tries to commit suicide using this method at the end of the ninth episode of the first season, after his entire life has come crashing down around him.]]

65
66	!!Phoenix
67	->'''Played by''': Gaite Jansen

69	* AssShove: Nearly happens in a prison {{flashback}}. In the shower, two women pin Phoenix down while a third attempts to shove a toilet plunger up her...you know. Fortunately Jett comes to her rescue.
70	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's very sweet but she is quite capable of being ruthless when necessary, especially towards her scumbag brother.
71	* DudeWheresMyRespect: After bandaging her arm up, Phoenix tries in vain to get Jett to call her a HookerWithAHeartOfGold.
72	-->'''Phoenix''': Well, that's me in a nutshell. Not enough ambition and too good to be true. What does that make me?
73	-->'''Jett''': A liability.
74	-->'''Phoenix''': No. It makes me a hooker with a heart of...? A heart of...?
75	-->'''Jett''': Get out of my face.
76	-->'''Phoenix''': Oh my--you suck ass at gratitude!
77	* FriendToAllChildren: She's arguably more playful than Alice.
78	* HiddenDepths: While Phoenix has a slightly childlike, {{Cloudcuckoolander}}-ish personality, she's shown to be very intelligent and has a great deal of medical knowledge.
79	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: When Maria tells Phoenix to distract some construction workers, her first instinct is to strip for them. In general, she seems to have no problems being naked.
80	* NiceGirl: Phoenix is a very sweet and charming woman.
81	* NonSpecificallyForeign: Averted. Though her accent is probably rather ambiguous to most American viewers, it's stated early on that she's Dutch, specifically from Rotterdam.
82
83	!!Evans
84	->'''Played by''': Gil Bellows
85	----
86	* ShootTheMessenger: Charles Junior is very offended when Evans gives him a message from Miljan Bestic and insults him. Evans replies that he's just the messenger and pulls out a letter that shows Bestic's exact message, insult and all.

95	----
96	* TheKindnapper: He does not intend to harm Rosalie at all in the initial kidnapping, and even develops feelings for her.
97	* LovingAShadow: He's barely ever talked to Rosalie. [[spoiler: When he gets into closer contact with her, he finds out that he doesn't like her at all...for various reasons.]]
98	* StalkerWithACrush: His official reason for following Rosalie around is to make sure that her husband does not harm her, but he's pretty obviously got a major soft spot for her.

105	* TheBully
106	* CantTakeCriticism: Finding fault with anything Charles Junior does is bound to end up with him exploding.
107	* DepravedHomosexual: He's gay and is completely insane. In episode 6, he and his goons [[spoiler: kill Josie with a chainsaw after cutting her hand off in a game of "hangman." He also claims to have castrated Bobby in the same way.]]
108	* HairTriggerTemper: He will fly into explosive fits of anger over pretty much anything.
109	* HatesBeingNicknamed: Characters who just call him "Junior" are usually angrily reminded that "it's ''Charles'' Junior!"

111	* [[spoiler: TheKillerBecomesTheKilled]]
112	* MoodSwinger: His moods are all over the place, and when he's in a bad one, ''watch out''.
113	* PsychopathicManchild: He's very immature, often acting indistinguishable from a child throwing a temper tantrum. The "psychopathic" part comes from it's usually paired with acts of brutal violence.

117	----

133
134	!!Miljan Bestic
135	->'''Played by''': Greg Bryk
136	----
137	* BigBad: He certainly seems to be this most of the time. [[spoiler: When he gets shot, he reveals that he's only the middle man for a much more powerful BigBad.]]
138	* ItsPersonal: The reason why he hates Charlie Baudelaire so much is that Charlie [[spoiler: impregnated the woman he loved and then arranged her death. He gets his revenge by trying to turn the product of that union, Charles Junior, against his father.]]
139
140	!!Rosalie
141	->'''Played by''': Lucy Walters
142	----
143	* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: All of her ordeals basically turn her into a deranged lunatic, to the point where she ties Bennie up, makes him her personal slave, and even seems to rape him.]]
144	* ExtremeDoormat: She seems to be this in her marriage to Dwight.
145	* HappilyMarried: Averted. In the first episode she's already committing adultery (it's later revealed that the marriage wasn't entirely happy to begin with). And after the ordeal with the kidnapping, it becomes ''much'' worse.

161	->'''Played by''': Gus Halper
162	----
163	* AbusiveParents: According to Phoenix, he was violently abused by their step father.
164	* FauxAffablyEvil: He tries to come across as charming but his natural sleaziness always creeps out and no one is eve won over by his efforts.
