| 1 | * {{Adorkable}}: |
| 2 | ** Susannah has a nervous stutter and is charmingly awkward, especially around her crush, Sheila. |
| 3 | ** Ya-Ya, a bespectacled loudmouth inventor with a penchant for science fiction, definitely qualifies as well. |
| 4 | * DiagnosedByTheAudience: It's never stated, but Susannah's suicidal tendencies and BSODSong suggest depression; her [[ParentalAbandonment backstory]] further implies it's hereditary. |
| 5 | * IronWoobie: Despite being one of the toughest girls in Nation, Sheila has a pretty sad life, spending most of her life in juvie hall and being so insecure about life outside the center that she tries to commit suicide. She hides her insecurities so she can maintain her reputation, but softens a bit around Susannah. |
| 6 | * LGBTFanbase: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]; the show is primarily about LGBT characters! |
| 7 | * MoralEventHorizon: Miss Asp starts out as a typically straight-laced PoliticallyIncorrectVillain, but becomes utterly detestable by Act 2 when we learn she [[spoiler: electrocuted her own daughter to death for being gay]]. Even if the sympathetic backstory revealed in tandem with that behavior is enough to suggest she has the ability to unlearn her abusive ways, it becomes clear once she has her mental breakdown and [[spoiler: tries to stab Sheila]] that no matter how tragic her story is, she's gone down the path of no return. |
| 8 | * NoYay: Susannah and Francis, primarily due to Susannah's not-yet-figured-out lesbianism, but also due to Francis's feeling of entitlement towards Susannah and general bigotry both towards everything that Susannah is and any identity that's not cisgender, white, and so on. |
| 9 | * UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Judith has a sad backstory, but it's hard to feel sorry for her when you only find out about it near the end of the musical, and she's spent all but the last twenty some odd minutes of the rest of the musical being absolutely horrible to the other main characters, including but not limited to: throwing multiple offensive terms around, [[spoiler: deadnaming Kitty for calling her out on her bullshit]], [[spoiler: being TheMole for the main villain]] and [[spoiler: literally being the reason that one of the previous girls died and the reason Sheila may suffer the same fate as that previous girl.]] |
