The Beard | |
| Girls Like Magic / int_1b596e24 | comment |
The Beard: Jamie pretends Don, though he's Camp Gay, is her boyfriend when her homophobic parents come over. The pair are naïve enough to buy his weak "butch" act. | |

| Girls Like Magic / int_2207b002 | comment |
Ambiguously Brown: Nick clearly isn't white, but what her (or his) race is never gets said. She's black-haired and olive-skinned, while a comment to Jamie might imply a shared South Asian ancestry, but it isn't clear. | |

Tomboy and Girly Girl: Jamie is the Tomboy, a hard-edged woman who's a lesbian with a slightly androgynous look, usually wearing cut off shirts or tank tops. Maggie is the Girly Girl, a dainty, demure woman with a very girlish tone of voice and charming naivete. They befriend each other, and then become lovers. | |

Ambiguous Gender Identity | |
| Girls Like Magic / int_463da046 | comment |
Ambiguous Gender Identity: Nick, the owner of an LGBT+ bar which Maggie and Brit go to, wearing a suit with a mohawk. It's not explicit whether Nick is a Butch Lesbian, trans man or what (Nick's name might indicate the latter, though not necessarily). Though not called by any pronouns, Nick's appearance and voice tone indicates that they were probably assigned female at birth. | |

Sympathetic Adulterer: Maggie cheats with Jamie eventually after lots of sexual tension. She remains sympathetic as she's apologetic about it to Jacob for this and gently tells him they had been drifting apart for some time, while their engagement was a huge mistake, along with being very sweet overall. | |

Pseudo-Romantic Friendship | |
| Girls Like Magic / int_a058376e | comment |
Pseudo-Romantic Friendship: Jamie (an open lesbian) and Maggie (who initially thinks she's straight) become close friends. Maggie's still dating Jacob, while Jamie's unhappily broken up with Casey at the start. They kiss early on while Jamie is pretending she's her girlfriend to fend off other lesbians, buy some sex toys together, and it gets very suggestive when she looks at Maggie's vagina (who asked to see if it's "ugly"). Both women confide in each other and do many things together. Unsurprisingly, they become a couple toward the end. | |
