Will is very good at social cues because his society is very status based. Though how he uses them depends on where he is. When he's in the forest as an outlaw, he plays with them but when he's in Nottingham, he knows how to be the polite peasant.

Charles, oh Charles spends his life worrying about fitting in and uses his telepathy and his knowledge to pick up cues and uses them. He wants to fit in yet he also wants to be himself, its complicated and such a part of how he works.

Moist is more like Will in terms of how he uses social cues in that he manipulates them to trick people. In canon, he's wonderful at picking up what someone will like best if he does. When he can, he enjoys manipulating them to see what happens.

William tries to pay attention to social cues but he knows he messes up since he's aware that he's not of the best society. Its one of his many inferiority issues. He does try and act politely, he was good with it around Mary Bennett, but it slips.

Jane is I think the most aware next to Charles and Moist because her society is so keyed to behavior and acting the right way at the right time. She happens to find it fascinating and as a writer and an observer looks into what can be bent safely.

Demeter stopped caring about social cues sometime around I think the Romans, she's used to mortals and knows how to act in a way that reassure them, but she doesn't focus on it a lot.

Sameth isn't good at social cues, he's not awful but he's not good at them. He'll forget to pay attention to them if he's working on a project and then realize he messed up but can't figure out how. In canon, he knew he was coming off as a bad prince but he had the reasons off. Its something that he does try and work on, but its not a huge priority for him unless he's getting yelled at by Ellimere about it.

Tumnus is comfortable with social cues, because he lives and works in a palace. I think because he's a faun, he has slightly different interpretations of some of them but he knows the right things to do.

The Pirate King in canon creates his own social ideas and enjoys ignoring what society tells him he should do.
