Moe (above, left) is what the producers describe as a "classic outsider." She's rough around the edges and has no problem walking up to people, getting in their face, and telling them exactly how she feels (which is usually barbed with insults). But as the series goes on, it quickly becomes apparent that Moe has a big, strong, fierce heart, which is exactly what Elodie and Tabitha both need in their lives.
"She's trying to figure out how she fits in and who she is. She has this tough exterior, but she's smart, she's funny," Andelson explains. "Even though she has this crew, she's still trying to figure out what her place is within all of that, within the greater world of high school."
Yes, she hangs out with her high school's group of burnouts, but don't get it twisted — Moe isn't a walking slacker stereotype. With each episode new layers are peeled back from her character, revealing that she's a wickedly smart student who often holds down the fort at home since her single mom is always picking up extra shifts at the hospital to keep them afloat. Her tough exterior is just that — a mask.
"A lot of Moe's struggle is about being accepted," Meyer says. "For all the girls there are issues of identity and acceptance. And I think so much of what's happening now is the discrepancy on social media, of who you appear to be and who you actually are on the inside. That's the kind of root of it for all of them."
