Finding Carter is a 2014 MTV drama series, featuring Kathryn Prescott, of Skins fame, in the title role.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Carter Stevens enjoyed her life with her carefree single mother Lori, until one night after she's arrested for trespassing while on a nightly jaunt to an amusement park. This arrest reveals a shocking secret: Lori Stevens isn't her real mother, but instead a woman who kidnapped her from her real parents, Elizabeth and David Wilson, when she was three. Additionally, Lori has apparently vanished into thin air, and Elizabeth is a police officer who has made it her mission to capture her. Carter also discovers that she has a fraternal twin sister, Taylor, who's grown up into a goody-two shoes thanks to her parents' paranoia over what happened, and a younger brother named Grant, who feels unappreciated and ignored.Despite bonding with David, Grant, and, after a little while, Taylor, Carter soon grows to resent Elizabeth, especially as she still views Lori as her "real" mother. With the FBI trying to track down Lori, Carter hopes her mother can find her first so they can be reunited and escape together.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Big, Screwed-Up Family: The Wilsons fit this, but Crash's family (the few members we know of, anyway) also apply.

Better as Friends: Carter and Max. Once Max meets Taylor and Carter meets Crash, they are firmly in the friend-zone. Taylor and Gabe try going on a date, but ultimately decide that they are this.

Angsty Surviving Twin: Although Carter did not actually die, Taylor did live in mortal fear of something happening to her like what happened to Carter

comment
Batman Gambit: Carter pulls one by assuming that Elizabeth would follow her if she left to find Crash, which she does. This gives Carter enough time to talk to Crash and allows him to be in a calm enough mood that he can be arrested without incident.

Break the Cutie
 Finding Carter / int_4b316d47
comment
Break the Cutie: Season 2 does this to Taylor in a pretty alarming way. After Carter is abducted for a second time, we're treated to flashbacks of three year old Taylor watching Lori pick Carter up and drive away with her. It's this that causes her to decide she wants to go with Elizabeth to meet with Lori and Carter, which ends in Lori trying to first hold them all hostage at gunpoint, she then tries to get away with both girls, something Taylor's lived in fear of her whole life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

All-Loving Hero: Carter can, at least eventually, see the good in everyone. This turns out to be a bad thing, as it makes it hard for her to see the bad things about Crash and Lori.
