comment
One of the Boys: Les is the only girl in Mike's band, dresses very boyishly (initially she looks like she's cosplaying as one of The Beatles) and imitates their rough behavior to a certain extent. She still would prefer that her bandmates remembered that she's a girl and resents it whenever they call her "fella".

Embarrassing First Name: Turns out that Les is not short for Leslie, but Lester, which she doesn't like, hence why she goes by Les.
