Danny Phantom fanfic TV Tropes for Flower princess11:

A Phantom’s Love and Courage:
* Beauty Equals Goodness: Danny finds the Sailor Guardians as hot as they’re heroic.
* Brutal Honesty: Danny makes it very clear to Tuxedo Mask how incredibly stupid his name is, even more so than Inviso-Bill.
* Bunny-Ears Lawyer: While Danny knows his parents are really eccentric, he does inform the Sailor Guardians that they’re brilliant enough to build a working portal to the Ghost Zone.
* Conqueror from the Future: Danny realizes that Clockwork recruited him to help the Sailor Guardians fight King Regalis and Queen Rigelia when they reveal they travelled from the future to takeover their world.
* The Dandy: Danny mocks Tuxedo Mask for dressing like a butler.
* Ditzy Genius: Danny admits to the Sailor Guardians that his parents are genius inventors but can seriously lack common sense at times since they put an on button inside their Ghost Zone portal after he explains to them the origin story of how he got his ghost powers.
* Everyone Has Standards:
* Danny might find Rei pretty but he does not like her unpleasant attitude.
* Even the other Sailor Guardians regard Rei as the mean one for her surly personality.
* Good Is Not Nice:
* Sailor Mars is the most snarky and unpleasant of the Sailor Guardians, something even they acknowledge, but is just as dedicated to fighting for peace and justice.
* Tuxedo Mask is a hero but acts like a jerk to Danny out of suspicion.
* Hypocrite: The other Sailor Guardians warn Minako not to spy on Makoto’s first date with Danny only to go do it themselves.
* Jerkass Has a Point: The Sailor Guardians find it completely ridiculous that Danny’s parents would install an on button INSIDE the Ghost Zone portal they built.
* Large Ham: Both King Regalis and Queen Rigelia are very loud and theatrical.
* Lethal Chef: Usagi is a terrible cook, something Rei won’t let her forget.
* Nausea Fuel: All of the heroes are disgusted by seeing King Regalis and Queen Rigelia’s flirting.
* Not So Above It All:
* Luna can’t resist joining Danny in teasing Artemis by calling him “Arty”.
* Sailor Mars is just as disappointed as Sailor Moon that Danny can’t use King Regalis’ BFS like in a cool action game.
* Oblivious Guilt Slinging: When Makoto is angry at her friends for spying on her first date with Danny she asks him who spies on two people out on a date for any reason, she doesn’t notice the guilty look on his face from the time he spied on Sam when she dated Gregor (Elliot).
* Pet the Dog:
* Usagi gives Danny a suit for his first date with Makoto.
* Tucker offers Sam a napkin when she sneezes.
* The Reveal: Danny and Makoto discover the other’s secret identities when they call each other’s civilian personas after beating the locci knight clones at the arena.
* Shipper on Deck: The Sailor Guardians (especially Usagi) support Makoto and Minako’s interest in Danny as they advise them to go on a date with him to see which he’ll choose. Even Rei and Mamoru come around to accepting the idea when they see how happy the girls are on their dates with Danny.
* Shout-Out:
* Danny makes a reference to The Many Dates when he gets a strange sense of defa vu because feels like he’s signed up for a crazy dating service after agreeing to date Makoto and Minako. He wonders if he should ask Clockwork about it but thinks again since he’d probably joke about doing it in another lifetime or whatever.
* Danny and Sailor Mercury make a Power Rangers and Voltron reference when he asks her if there’s a chance they have giant robots that come together to form a bigger giant robot with a sword or something and she says that they’re the wrong group of colorful superheroes.
* Sickeningly Sweethearts: The heroes are completely grossed out by how affectionate King Regalis and Queen Rigelia are with each other.
* Sneeze Cut: When Makoto is mad at her friends for spying on her and Danny’s first date she asks him who spies on two people out on a date for any reason, she doesn’t notice the guilty look on his face since he remembers the time he spied on Sam when she went out with Gregor (Elliot). Cue the next scene when Sam sneezes.
* Take Over the World: King Regalis and Queen Rigelia plan on wiping out humanity to claim the Earth after destroying the heroes.
* Turned Off By the Jerkass: Danny admits Rei’s beauty doesn’t make her unpleasant and judgmental attitude any less unappealing.

Cupid's Wrath:
* Everyone Has Standards: Team Phantom and Ember are aghast when Aphrodite says the gods typically punish mortals for stealing from them like how Paulina took Cupid's arrows by killing them until she clarifies that she's choosing to put an ugly curse on her instead.
* Good Is Not Soft: Team Phantom very much approve of Aphrodite punishing Paulina for her crimes by putting an ugly curse on her.
* No Sympathy: Ember and Team Phantom compliment Aphrodite for putting an ugy curse on Paulina as punishment for her crimes.
* Pestering the Reluctant: Paulina's inability to accept rejection results in her trying to force Danny to be with her with Cupid's love arrows which earns her an ugly curse from Aphrodite as well as a restraining order and incarceration at juvie.
* Refusing to Rescue the Disliked: To Paulina's horror, Ember and Team Phantom completely refuse to help her when Aphrodite casts an ugly curse on her as punishment because they hate her THAT much for her crimes.

Resurrected Memories:
* Adaptational Badass: Star was just Paulina’s Beta Bitch satellite in canon but here while she starts out submissive she eventually retaliates against her abuse by getting her in trouble and quitting the A-Listers.
* Adaptational Nice Guy: Sam is less self-righteous and possessive of Danny here than she was in canon since she eventually gets over her jealousy to be glad that he’s happy with Ember and doesn’t have a problem with her friends getting back at the A-Listers for their bullying (granted this only applies to Paulina who Sam always intensely hated in canon for being a repulsive Alpha Bitch that is even worse here).
* Allegorical Character: Paulina essentially represents the worst elements of toxic fandom since while she sincerely admires Danny's heroism, she doesn't actually respect him as a person due to her utter lack of regard for his feelings, boundaries, loved ones, and relationships as even other characters note that she only regards him as a trophy she feels entitled to due to ignoring his utter lack of interest in her and her Spoiled Brat nature makes her clingy, demanding, and unreasonable towards Danny as well as any girl that he associates with. Even Ember lampshades Paulina's obsessive behavior is unhealthy at best (since she keeps a Stalker Shrine) and downright unacceptable at worst since she stubbornly refuses to leave Danny alone unless forced to with Lancer and Ember having to threaten her to get her to stop harassing him.
* The Atoner:
* Danny’s parents work hard to make it up to him for hunting him when they didn’t know he was Danny Phantom even though he’s already forgiven them.
* Ember becomes this after her Heel-Face Turn.
* Be Careful What You Wish For:
* Danny regrets ever being interested in Paulina solely for her good looks and popularity since she won’t leave him alone after developing a crush on his ghost-self even when he’s dating Sam or Ember and he has long since lost his crush after acknowledging all her unpleasant traits and now just finds her completely annoying.
* Paulina made it clear during freshman year she wanted nothing to do with Danny and she gets her wish because he refuses to associate with her now that he’s reached his limit with her awful attitude personality, especially since she treats him more like a trophy she feels entitled to due to her unhealthy obsessive crush on his ghostly alter ego.
* Because You Were Nice to Me: Maddie furiously tells Vlad that she fell in love with Jack in college because he was the only person who ever understood her interest in the paranormal.
* Beware the Nice Ones:
* Danny usually prefers to ignore jerks like Dash and Paulina but he’s fine with humiliating them like using his ghost powers to make the former’s pants intangible so everyone laughs at his underwear and tripping the latter while invisible so she falls into a mud puddle that makes everyone laugh at her messy look.
* Sam usually tries to be the voice of reason but is fine with Amberline (Ember) humiliating Paulina and gets into a bathroom fight with the Latina brat when she slaps her for all the insults and proposing they team up to defeat Amberline (Ember) in the race for Prom Queen.
* Big Ego, Hidden Depths: Star is far more insecure and neurotic than her haughty Beta Bitch demeanor indicates since it’s abundantly clear she only puts up with Paulina for the sake of popularity until reaching her limit.
* Birds of a Feather: Maddie angrily tells Vlad she always loved Jack for their mutual interest in the paranormal in college.
* Beyond Redemption: After Vlad invades Amity Park, all the heroes and their allies have become completely fed up with him with Maddie even decrying him as nothing but a monster in her “The Reason You Suck” Speech.
* Changing Yourself for Love: After falling for Danny, Ember takes a Level in Kindness and eventually reforms.
* Character Development: After finally having enough of Paulina’s abuse at prom, Star gets back at her by exposing her alcohol consumption at school to get her in trouble and quits the A-Listers since she realizes that popularity isn’t worth putting up with someone as unbearable as Paulina.
* Comically Lopsided Rivalry: Nothing Paulina does can make Danny interested in her regardless if he's single or dating Sam or Ember.
* Commonality Connection: Maddie reveals to Vlad that she loves Jack because he was the only person who was as fascinated as the paranormal as her.
* Drowning My Sorrows: Paulina would originally indulge in alcohol on occasion for fun but it has become much more frequent due to Danny’s constant rejections of her.
* Easily Forgiven: Danny doesn’t hold it against his parents for hunting him as Danny Phantom when they didn’t know about his secret identity, but they still try to make up for it.
* Everyone Has Standards:
* Sam is usually against petty revenge regardless of how justified but makes an exception when Amberline (Ember) gets back at Paulina for humiliating her by making her look like a clown and then sending photos of it to everybody.
* Amberline (Ember) is driven to beat Paulina in their bet for who becomes Prom Queen but refuses to accept any help from Danny because she wants to win through her own merits instead due to having the support of the town superhero.
* Even people who don’t like Star (Ember and Team Phatom) are shocked and disgusted when Paulina calls her friend a loser for unexpectedly beating her for the prom queen crown.
* Her Own Worst Enemy: Paulina’s pride, temper, immaturity, and selfishness cost her everything at the end when everyone turns on her after reaching their limit with her awful Spoiled Brat attitude and she’s reduced to an outcast that the students enjoy tormenting by partaking in Ember’s humiliating punishments for her.
* Good Is Not Soft: Sam gives Paulina a black-eye when they get into a fight in the girl’s bathroom after she insults her while proposing an alliance to sabotage Amberline (Ember) during her campaign for prom queen.
* Gold Digger: Danny has zero interest in any of his admirers (with Paulina being the most annoying) because he wants a girlfriend who loves the real him and not a shallow fangirl who just wants the bragging rights of dating a famous superhero. He falls for Amberline (Ember) because she’s not one of his admirers.
* If I Can’t Have You…: Vlad tries to destroy Maddie after being rejected by her for the final time.
* Immortal Immaturity: Ember is a few decades older than Team Phantom but acts like a rebellious teenager. Justified as she was a teenager when she died then became a ghost but Team Phantom’s influence helps her outgrow this.
* In Love with Love: Deconstructed twice:
* It’s clear to everyone that Paulina is just too delusional and narcissistic to grasp that fangirling over someone isn’t the same as love and she’s just coming off as an extremely annoying clingy pest.
* Vlad is a MUCH worse case as Maddie points out he doesn’t actually love her, he just wants her.
* Inferiority Superiority Complex: Star acts like your typical Beta Bitch but is very self-conscious of how others view her and mainly stays with the popular kids to avoid ending up a social outcast at school until in the end when she gets sick of Paulina’s abuse and quits the A-Listers right after getting her into trouble by publicly exposing her alcohol addiction.
* Irony:
* Danny wanted popularity by joining the A-Listers and to date Paulina in the beginning but here he’s more popular than all of them combined along with rejecting both due to refusing to associate with them for being insufferably stuck-up bullies.
* All that mattered to Paulina is being the most popular girl in school but she becomes a pariah in the end when everyone refuses to tolerate her Alpha Bitch personality anymore.
* It’s All About Me:
* Ember starts off as this but grows out of it after befriending Team Phantom when their genuine kindness rubs off on her.
* All Paulina cares about is being popular and everyone gets fed up with how much of a spoiled diva she is.
* Vlad is a MUCH worse example since Maddie remarks that he doesn’t care who he hurts for his own selfish reasons.
* Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Danny accepts that Paulina is nothing but an unpleasant Alpha Bitch regardless of how much she genuinely admires (or fixates about) his ghost side’s heroics.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Even if she only wants to do it to eliminate Paulina as a rival during the race for prom queen by getting her in trouble through exposing her alcohol addiction, Amberline (Ember) has every right to reveal Paulina’s secret since bringing alcohol to Casper High is a major breach of school policy and Paulina shouldn’t be drinking anyway because she’s only a minor. Amberline (Ember) only stops herself from exposing Paulina when Star desperately begs her to keep quiet because she doesn’t want to risk Paulina kicking her out of the A-Listers for accidentally revealing her secret.
* Ember is completely right about Paulina being a total bitch who has nothing going for her but her looks and parents wealth as well as the fact that Danny can do much better than someone as annoying as her.
* Valerie is correct that Star can find much better friends than Paulina since she only treats her like a flunky that she constantly bosses around.
* Karmic Butt-Monkey: Nothing goes right for Paulina as a consequence of her own rotten personality since she’s constantly humiliated by the heroes, is rejected by Danny at every turn especially when he falls in love with her new rival Amberline (Ember), loses the title of prom queen to Star, is grounded and suspended from school for a month when Star exposes her alcohol addiction, and she’s forced to do whatever humiliating stuff Ember gives her for an entire month when she loses their bet.
* Karmic Jackpot: After pulling a Heel-Face Turn, Ember becomes a hero to Amity Park and makes peace with Team Phantom.
* Kick the Dog: Vlad calls Dani a mistake much to Maddie’s outrage.
* Love Interest vs. Lust Interest: Ember becomes the Love Interest to Paulina's Lust Interest because she grows to genuinly care for Danny as a person after getting to know him better and comes to admire his positive qualities while Paulina is only interested in the side of him that's a popular superhero and doesn't really care about his feelings or interests since it doesn't matter to her that he's too repulsed by her obnoxious personality to want anything to do with her anymore as Sam is quick to point out that she's too much of an entitled Spoiled Brat to take rejection.
* Never a Self-Made Woman: Amberline (Ember) mocks Paulina by pointing out in her “The Reason You Suck” Speech that she’s only popular because of her looks and overindulgent parents spoiling her rotten but neither will last forever and she’ll just end up being being some asshole’s Brainless Beauty Trophy Wife who needs to beg her wealthy father for money.
* Pervert Revenge Mode: Danny has no problem getting back at his Abhorrent Admirer Paulina for constantly harassing him by publicly rejecting her at every opportunity, humilating her at her own party by tripping her while invisible when she tries to sabotage his friends concert so everyone laughs at her for being covered in mud after falling into a mud puddle, and helps Ember humilate her when she loses their bet which includes forcing her to leave him alone forever.
* Pestering The Reluctant: Paulina’s stubborn refusal to accept that Danny doesn’t want anything to do with her anymore just makes him avoid her even more to the point he begs Amberline (Ember) to force her to leave him alone after she wins their bet and Paulina has to do whatever she says for a whole month.
* Produce Pelting: Everyone at Casper High throws food at Paulina at the prom after reaching their breaking point with all her bullying.
* Properly Paranoid: While Paulina has no proof, she does suspect Amberline (Ember) of somehow being responsible for putting clown makeup on her in the bathroom.
* Rage Breaking Point:
* Sam gets into a bathroom fight with Paulina at school after losing her temper and slapping the Spoiled Brat over her insults and proposition to team up to undermine Amberline (Ember) in the campaign for Prom Queen.
* Star loses her patience with Paulina’s attitude after being insulted too much at prom and gets her in trouble by telling the whole school that she’s been smuggling alcohol into Casper High.
* Rescue Romance: Subverted and deconstructed with Paulina who refuses to grasp that Danny doesn't have any feelings for her just because he saved her life and whatever interest he did have has completely evaporated after finally getting sick of her awful attitude and increasingly annoying Clingy Jealous Girl behavior towards him especially due to being completely creeped out by her delusional belief that they're soulmates.
* Shadow Archetype:
* Ember could’ve been (or still be like) Vlad and Paulina if she hadn’t overcome her flaws (such as her pride, temper, and self-centeredness) and made peace with the heroes.
* Paulina is this to Sam and Ember: like Sam she's an attractive girl from a wealthy family who can be very clingy towards Danny and aggravate their peers with their unpleasant attitudes but Sam sincerely cares for her friends and matures enough to move on as she becomes happy for Danny when he dates Ember while Paulina's increasingly horrible attitude only turns everyone against her until she winds up an outcast. Also, like Ember she's a hotheaded, prideful girl who's enemies with Team Phantom due to antagonizing them in the past but Ember warms up to the group after befriending them and sincerely falls in love with Danny for his Nice Guy nature while Paulina refuses to change her Spoiled Brat nature, which costs her all her popularity, and only regards Danny as a trophy she feels entitled towards until Ember forces her to stay out of his life for good.
* Small Name, Big Ego: Paulina is completely baffled that Danny doesn’t want anything to do with her for her annoying, snotty Rich Bitch personality since she’s the most popular girl in school and the Queen Bee of the A-Listers.
* So Proud of You: Danny’s parents feel this way about him for “continuing the family business” by hunting ghosts now that they know about his secret identity.
* Sour Outside, Sad Inside: Star acts like your stereotypical Beta Bitch but is WAY more insecure and miserable than she lets on since she only tolerates Paulina’s abuse out of fear of being kicked out of the A-Listers and even Ember pities her when she catches her crying in the bathroom after being berated by Paulina.
* That Thing Is Not My Child!: Played straight with Vlad who only regards Dani as a mistake but averted with the Fentons that regard her as family especially Maddie who’s furious at Vlad for his abuse of her daughter.
* Thinks Like a Romance Novel: As far as Paulina is concerned, she is like a princess in a fairytale and Danny is her Prince Charming who is her destined soul mate no matter how much he ignores or rejects her. Lampshaded by Ember who always gleefully mocks Paulina for her delusions by reminding her she has zero chance with Danny given his obvious revulsion by her mere presence.
* Tranquil Fury: While Star doesn’t express her anger over Paulina’s mistreatment with words, she does tell everyone at prom that she’s been sneaking alcohol into school so she’ll get in trouble.
* With Friends Like These…: Valerie points out to Star that Paulina isn’t her friend since she treats her like a minion and constantly bosses her around. By the end Star decides popularity isn’t worth dealing with someone as unbearable as Paulina and betrays her by telling everyone at prom she smuggles alcohol onto school grounds so she’ll get in trouble.

A Vampire in Love:
* Accidental Truth: Tanis thinks that Sibella is away for so long at the beginning because she was zinging with someone which her friends find laughable since the only boys around are the Calloway cadets who they have no interest in, but she's right since Sibella meets Danny and instantly falls in love with him.
* Actually a Good Idea: The Grimwood girls tell Sibella that if she wants to get to know Danny better then she should just talk to him, both her and Phanty decide to do that.

* Continuity Nod: The Grimwood Girls tells Danny about the cadets they're rivals with, as well as mentioning Shaggy and Scooby. Curiously, they barely remember Scrappy.

* The Grimwood school residents are monsters but are genuinely nice people.
* The ghouls father are also this since they no longer harm humans and are genuinely loving fathers.
* Dating What Daddy Hates: At least to her, Phanty thinks she's in a relationship with Danny Phantom, who her father the Phantom very much despises not that she cares because she wants to be with the ghost boy.
* Deadpan Snarker:

* The Phantom has a pretty dry wit.
* Revolta has a dry sense of humor, especially when it comes to dealing with her brother Repulso.

* Good Bad Girl: Sibella is a total Nice Girl and can't resist making out with Danny.
* Good Is Not Nice: The Phantom sincerely cares about his daughter Phantasma and her friends but is a huge grouch that can be controlling towards his family and hates Danny out of Fantastic Racism.
* Good Is Not Soft:
* Danny is fine with freezing Matches mouth whenever he breathes fire at him.
* Danny is ok with blackmailing the Calloway Cadets into stop cheating in their volleyball games against the Grimwood ghouls by threatening to expose them on video.
* Graceful Loser: Frankenteen Senior doesn't mind Danny accidentally taking his arm off in an arm wrestling contest since he's impressed by the ghost boy's strength.
* Harmless Villain: Danny finds the Grim Creeper, Weerd, and Bogel even lamer than the Box Ghost.
* Heroic Willpower: Danny easily overcomes Revolta's mind-controlling earmuffs since he's developed a resistance to much stronger mind-control after fighting Freakshow's hypnotic magic.
* Hidden Depths: Sibella has some knowledge of constellations since she can identify Leo.
* Hopeless Suitor: Phantasma doesn't have a chance with Danny, especially since he's starting to grow attracted to Sibella, something everyone including Phanty notices.
* I'm Not Afraid of You: Danny isn't phased by the monster dads threats to him about what they'll do if he fails to protect their daughters from Revolta since he deals with ghosts on a regular basis. This impresses the monster dads (except for the Phantom) since they rarely encounter a mortal they can't scare.
* I'm Standing Right Here: Neither the Phantom nor his daughter Phantasma are amused by Frankenteen Senior finding it hilarious that Repulso has become a ghost.
* Innocently Insensitive: Sibella and Phantasma don't mean to make Danny uncomfortable and make amends with him when they learn he doesn't appreciate them invading his personal space.
* Insufferable Imbecile: It exasperates Danny that the Calloway Cadets can’t figure out that there are monsters at the Grimwood school or that he’s a ghost superhero and Matches is a dragon instead of a dog. Danny considers Colonel Calloway the biggest idiot of them all since he’s an adult but is just as clueless as the kids he’s in charge of.
* In-Series Nickname: Phantasma prefers being called "Phanty".
* Insult Backfire: Revolta is flattered whenever Danny calls her wicked or ugly.
* Irrational Hatred: The Phantom hates Danny for being a half-ghost who his daughter Phanty is in love with and shares his name.
* It Only Works Once: Danny has developed an immunity to mind-control after being subjected to Freakshow’s magic ghost-controlling staff so Revolta’s web-like hypnosis headphones have no effect on him.
* Jerk with a Heart of Gold:
* Matches can be aggressive and confrontational to strangers like Danny upon meeting them but deeply cares for the Grimwood ghouls.
* The Phantom is the most unpleasant of the monster dads and is a total jerk to Danny but dearly cares about Phantasma and her friends.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Ms. Grimwood doesn't want Danny to stay at her school because it's for girls only and she doesn't want Sibella and Phanty to constantly fight over him.
* Danny can't disagree with the Phantom's remark about his parents not being good ghost hunters if they don't notice their own son is one.
* Just Playing Hard to Get: Phanty and Sibella think Danny's just being shy when he resists their advances until he makes it clear he doesn't like them that way and they back off.
* Kid Has a Point: Tanis suspects Danny likes Sibella more than he knows and his growing receptiveness to her advances only proves the young mummy's choice.
* Like Father, Unlike Daughter: While Phantasma is a lively Genki Girl who loves Danny, her dad the Phantom is a huge grump who hates Danny.
* Love at First Sight: Sibella becomes infatuated with Danny upon meeting him and zings with him.

* Team Mom: Ms. Grimwood is this to the ghouls as she’s extremely protective of them as if they were her own children and when she’s not around the role is filled by Sibella as she’s the oldest and most responsible of the group along with being very caring towards her friends.

* Took a Level in Badass: Sibella has learned to control bats after her last encounter with Revolta.
* Touch the Intangible: Revolta's spider bats can hurt Danny even when he's intangible because of their magical nature.
* Underestimated Badassery: Phantom doesn’t think Danny will beat Frankenteen Senior in an arm wrestling match only to be as surprised as everyone else when the ghost boy accidentally rips his arm off.

* Wasted Beauty: Downplayed with Sibella and Phantasm because Danny acknowledges they’re Cute Monster Girls and is mainly put off by their overly forward advances until they take it down a notch and he grows closer to them after getting to know them better:
* Danny was initially put off by Sibella’s aggressive advances but grows to reciprocate after she tones it down and manages to impress him with her athleticism.
* Danny finds Phanty too clingy but agrees to be friends with her when she mellows out a little.
* What the Hell, Hero?: Ms. Grimwood informs Sibella that her attraction to Danny is one-sided and she's just been making him extremely uncomfortable with her unwanted advances, which leaves the young vampire devastated.
* Wicked Witch: Revolta takes pride in being “The Wicked Witch of the Web”.
* Worthy Opponent: Frankenteen Senior regards Danny as this for accidentally ripping his arm off during an arm wrestling match.
* Would Hurt a Child: The Phantom is fine with trying to destroy the teenage Danny because he's a half-ghost who is daughter Phantasma likes and thinks stole his name but relents for Phantasma's sake and because the ghost boy saved her from Revolta.

Stranded:
Fridge Brilliance:
Donovan's worsening Entitled to Have You attitude towards Star makes sense since he's already bitter that Star would rather date a Dumb Jock like Kwan and a (seemingly) average middle-class boy like Danny over a Blue Blood like himself but if her grandmother Beatrice told him in “Visited” about her daughter Stella leaving the middle-class Self-Made Man Johnathan Strong for the Rich Bastard Jean-Luc Bevier then that would just make him even more determine since he’s under the assumption Like Mother, Like Daughter while being too dim to realize Star despises him precisely because of his similarities to her hated stepfather.

Remember how Danny craved popularity in the beginning? Well, here he gets it in the form of the lovestruck girl, Colette Bevier. Then, he gets the hint of how downright annoying it can be to always get attention. In a way, Colette was a physical aesop on the lesson "be careful what you wish for".

In “Forgotten”, despite suffering from amnesia and not really knowing who Team Phantom is, Danny realizes that his place is not with Colette due to her having no regard for him as a person as well as putting him in danger due to being a callous, Dirty Coward. Remember that it was Colette's cruel nature that led to Danny hating her guts in the first place. Really shows how far Danny has come from the shallow boy who craved a beautiful, popular girlfriend from a rich family he started as and how much Colette doesn't learn from her mistakes.

Colette’s growing obsession with Danny over time makes a little more sense when she learns about his former crushes on Valerie and Paulina, who she hates almost as much as Star. Her pride already won’t let her accept Star being better than her (especially when it comes to being popular with boys) but the fact that Valerie (a girl who’s family lost their fortune) and Paulina (someone that’s a dumber and more annoying Spoiled Brat than Star ever was) have actually managed to catch Danny’s interest in the past while she never could naturally drives her over the edge.

Colette’s obsession with Danny makes sense given her Control Freak nature. Danny is the only one of Star’s boyfriends to have Undying Loyalty towards her so of course Colette would want a boyfriend who was devoted only to her so he couldn’t be swayed away by a richer and/or prettier girl like she has done to countless other girls boyfriends. It also makes Colette’s disdain for suitors like Dash Baxter and Donovan Loadman more understandable considering she finds them even dumber and more repulsive than Kwan despite seeing him as the stupidest and easiest to manipulate out of all of Star’s boyfriends, she knows they wouldn’t be any more faithful to her than Kwan was to Star so obviously she wouldn’t see them as worth her time.

Stella’s dislike of the Mansons makes more sense when she reveals her Beloved Smother Beatrice pressured her into befriending the heirs of other wealthy families while growing up just for the sake of status and that she never liked any of them except for Eleanor, the Mansons likely remind her of those False Friends by being shameless Professional Butt-Kissers obsessed with social climbing.

Johnathan and Richard always thought Danny was the best thing to ever happen to Star and they were right in WAY more ways than even they could ever know. Not only did Danny get Star away from the A-Listers toxic influence and gave her the courage to stand up to her neglectful mother Stella so she’d improve as a person, make real friends in Team Phantom, become a capable ghost hunter that protects Amity Park, and fix her relationship with her family, but he unintentionally exposed Colette’s true sociopathic nature to the world when she developed an extremely unhealthy obsession with him after he turned her down (which no guy has ever done before) because he was too repulsed by her two-faced Alpha Bitch attitude thus preventing her from continuing to torment Star or ruin anymore lives in the future.

There is some truth to Colette’s statement in “Blackmailed” that Kwan would be nothing without the A-Listers because nobody wants to associate with the popular kids due to all their bullying and snobbery as Valerie found out when she was expelled from the group since, aside from her Only Friend Star and her Abhorrent Admirer Nathan, Team Phantom are the only students willing to hang out with her and it was mostly Danny who was willing to give her a chance out of a guilt for accidentally costing her dad his job during the Cujo incident (though admittedly Valerie didn’t help her situation by retaining her haughty Rich Bitch attitude until warming up to Team Phantom) but Kwan is worse off than her since Team Phantom, especially Star, don’t want anything to do with him including for helping the evil fake redhead frame them for Colette’s crimes.

Danny’s distrust of Kwan when he offers to help him with his Colette situation in “Blackmailed” is completely understandable albeit not because of the prior bullying or Kwan’s jealousy of his romantic relationship with Star (granted it likely didn’t help) but because he knows the Dumb Jock is working for Colette (regardless of the fact she’s blackmailing him into doing it) so he’d naturally suspect her of putting Kwan up to this as some sort of incredibly warped Secret Test of Character to test his (non-existent) loyalty to her given her extremely manipulative and conniving personality.

It makes sense that Star was willing to give Danny a chance early on despite not having the best opinion of him, Valerie is her Only Friend and she dated Danny as well as befriend him when he was willing to give her a chance after she was kicked out of the A-Listers despite her history of bullying, so Star would be willing to trust Val’s judgment of him as a Nice Guy, especially after he showed he was willing to help her despite her spoiled attitude.

Besides vastly overestimating her own “charms” and ability to control Danny as well as severely underestimating the Ghost Boy’s strength of character and boundless hatred towards her, why would Colette believe him to be “weak and malleable” that she can groom him into being her ideal boyfriend? Because in “Forgotten” she was able to somewhat succeed at getting an amnesiac Danny to hate/distrust Team Phantom and in “Visited” he was willing to get Lessons in Sophistication in an effort to impress Beatrice Traville to save his relationship with Star, so it showed Colette that he is open to the influence of others.

Fridge Horror: Considering Colette’s megalomania, sociopathic tendencies, and utter lack of regard for the rules as well as the wellbeing of others that disgusts even the ghost villains, it’s clear it was only a matter of time until she fell of the deep-end since Team Phantom and even Stella admit she was always a ticking time bomb waiting to go off which some other unfortunate guy would’ve just unintentionally sped up even if she didn’t become obsessed with Danny.

Values Resonance: Ember, Misty, and Colette are rightfully regarded by others as creepy stalkers for their unacceptable harassment of Danny who already has Star for a girlfriend and repeatedly rejects them because he’s not interested in them for their unappealing behavior. Colette’s obsession with him only grows MUCH worse to the point she’s sent to reform school after Team Phantom and their enemies joined forces to expose all her crimes to the public because they wanted to save Danny from being forced into an abusive relationship with someone as vile and unstable as her who only ever regarded him as a trophy and tool to hurt Star.

Team Phantom:
* Combat, Magic, Trickery Trio: The original Team Phantom trio fit this trope: Sam (Combat), who is the most aggressive and athletic of the group that’s not afraid to get physical; Danny (Magic) the superpowered Half-Human Hybrid who fights using his ghostly abilities; Tucker (Trickery), the hyper-intelligent tech expert on par with Vlad Plasmius and aided by his PDA.
* Physical, Mystical, Technological: The three founding members of Team Phantom fit these categories. Sam is a Badass Normal Action Girl that’s capable of fighting ghosts with Fenton weapons and her fists, Danny is supernaturally enhanced thanks to the Freak Lab Accident that provided him his powers by altering his DNA with ecto, but is usually the Physical because he relies on his ghost powers to beat up evil specters, and Tucker has no real "powers", but the mind and fighting prowess to best his foes and aid his allies with his technology.

Star and Danny:
* Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Star is a tomboyish Academic Athlete with a pretty fiery temper while her boyfriend Danny is a laidback Nice Guy.
* Pervert Revenge Mode:
* Both of them beat up Star’s Abhorrent Admirer Donovan Loadman in “Visited” for giving her a Forceful Kiss and hitting her for rejecting him.
* An empowered Colette gets ecto-blasted by Danny and has her haired pulled by Star as payback for giving the ghost boy a Forceful Kiss just to mess with his girlfriend in “Empowered”.

Danny:
* Flying Brick: Danny has the standard ghost ability to fly, Super-Strength, and Super-Toughness.
* Flying Firepower: Danny can fly faster than a space shuttle, survive being blasted by dragon fire that can disperse a large cloud formation, and can shoot ectoplasmic lasers.
* Irony: Star and her relatives along with the Beviers have pointed out that despite Danny coming from a modest background, he’s proven to be FAR more of a gentleman than her Rich Bastard Spoiled Brat Abhorrent Admirer Donovan Loadman will ever be who despite being a Blue Blood that comes from Old Money is just a violent Jerkass who only sees Star as a trophy he feels entitled to and has no problem abusing and abandoning her while Danny’s a Nice Guy who is genuinely loyal to his girlfriend Star.
* No Sympathy: He makes it crystal clear in “Golden” that nothing would make him happier than to have Colette leave him alone for good and he very much hopes that her father Jean-Luc will force her into an Arranged Marriage with Donovan Loadman despite knowing Colette utterly despises him and how much of a violent Jerkass the Loadman brat is if it meant she’d finally give up on him since he utterly hates her for being an even worse Yandere Abhorrent Admirer than Toadman and her constant unwanted harassment of Team Phantom is making her a danger to everyone she comes into contact with due to her utter Lack of Empathy towards anyone who gets hurt as a result of her actions during her schemes to try to steal him from his girlfriend Star.
* Rank Scales with Asskicking: He is the leader of his team and its most powerful member thanks to his ghostly abilities, especially since the rest of Team Phantom are just regular humans.
* Shipper with an Agenda: A rare downplayed and sympathetic example in “Golden” but he desperately wishes that Jean-Luc would force Colette into an Arranged Marriage with Donovan Loadman so she’ll finally quit obsessing over him because she won’t stop harassing Team Phantom and her actions in “Empowered” and “Blackmailed” prove she is capable of MUCH worse behavior than just being an Abhorrent Admirer Stalker with a Crush Alpha Bitch Big Sister Bully.
* Taught by Experience: After dealing with vain Manipulative Bitches like Paulina and Penelope Spectra for so long Danny as grown wise enough to instantly see through the superficial beauty and fake charms of Spoiled Brats like Colette and Vivian.

Star:
* Adaptational Wealth: It’s not clear how wealthy her family was in canon but here her mother is a Blue Blood that comes from Old Money and her father is a Self-Made Man that works as a highly successful lawyer.
* Blessed with Suck: While she enjoys having ghost powers, she learns one of the downsides is that using them causes her to burn a lot more calories than usual so she feels a lot hungrier in “Empowered”.
* Good Counterpart: She becomes this to Paulina and especially Colette after joining Team Phantom by showing redeeming qualities and eventually improving herself to become a much better person.
* Hidden Depths: Even as a Beta Bitch she valued more than looks, money, and status in a boyfriend since she refused to date the Jerk Jock Dash Bexter or even associate with her MUCH worse Abhorrent Admirer the Rich Bastard Donovan Loadman.
* No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Discussed. Her and Kwan wonder in “Blackmailed” if it was a good idea for her to befriend Team Phantom and become Danny’s girlfriend despite all the good it accomplished since it led to Colette becoming a psychopathic Yandere Stalker with a Crush towards Danny who was obsessed with stealing him to the point she’ll ruin the lives of his loved ones.
* You Are What You Hate: She sadly acknowledges in “Visited” that her old self was just as much of a stuck-up bully as her Abhorrent Admirer Donovan Loadman.

Valerie:
* Adaptational Karma: Valerie mostly got away with her morally questionable actions in canon but here she gets two vicious “The Reason You Suck” Speech from Star and Spectra for her petty, misguided grudge against Danny Phantom and unhealthy obsession with hunting ghosts that’s causing her to act no better than she did during her A-Lister days (it even almost costs her Star’s friendship until Valerie proved she is willing to move on from her vengeful mindset).
* Fury-Fueled Foolishness: Star and Spectra have called her out on being too angry at Danny Phantom to notice or care that he isn’t evil.
* No Listening Skills: Star and Spectra have lampshaded Valerie is incapable of being reasoned with whenever she felt crossed with someone no matter how trivial the offense was.
* Reformed, but Not Tamed: Deconstructed. While she Took a Level in Kindness after being kicked out of the A-Listers and befriending Team Phantom, Star and Spectra have noted that she still retains her negative qualities from her days of hanging out with the popular kids such as her pride, stubbornness, temper, inability to let go of grudges, and avoidance of personal responsibility regarding her questionable behavior. This serves as a big wakeup call for her to become a better person starting by making peace with Danny Phantom.

Maddie:
* Properly Paranoid: She might be trigger-happy but considering ghosts can overshadow people as well as some like Spectra, Bertrand, and Amorpho being able to shapeshift into humans, she isn't wrong to be cautious.

Jack:
* Properly Paranoid: He might be trigger-happy but considering ghosts can overshadow people as well as some like Spectra, Bertrand, and Amorpho being able to disguise themselves as humans, he isn't wrong to be cautious.

The Mansons:
Sam’s semi-dysfunctional family that comes from Old Money.
* Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Jeremy (blonde), Sam (brunette), and Pamela (redhead).
* A Lighter Shade of Black: Pamela and Jeremy are elitist snobs but refuse to associate with troublemaking psychopaths like Donovan Loadman and Colette Beviers after their true rotten natures are exposed.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* None of them want anything to do with Donovan Loadman after he harassed Star in “Visited”.
* By the end of “Blackmailed”, they all regard Colette as a complete psycho after her crimes are exposed and are glad when she’s arrested.
* They regard Reginald Loadman and (especially) Jean-Luc Bevier as horrible parents for raising their kids, Donovan and Colette respectively, to be absolutely monstrous Spoiled Brats.
* Old Money: Both of Sam’s parents come from wealthy families.
* The One Guy: Jeremy is the only male in the family after his father Mordecai passed away.

Jeremy Manson:
* Adults Are Useless: Everybody, especially Sam and Ida, are annoyed to no end by his and his wife Pamela’s Upper-Class Twit personalities because they just embarrass their own family and act as major nuisances to everybody.

Pamela Manson:
* Adults Are Useless: Everyone, especially Sam and Ida, are frustrated to no end by her and her husband Jeremy’s Upper-Class Twit attitudes because they just embarrass their own family and act as huge pests to everyone.
* Hypocrite: She doesn’t understand why Sam would be interested in a middle-class boy like Danny who comes from a weird family but she choose Jeremy out of a desire to Marry for Love despite her own parents being against it.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* In “Golden”, she knows it’s a bad idea to let a violent Jerkass like Donovan Loadman near Sam so she warns him to stay away from her daughter and not to bother Ida because she’s the exact opposite of Beatrice Traville (which she means as a compliment this time) as she’d be just as against the idea of him “courting” Sam as Pamela is.
* In “Blackmailed”, she agrees with Sam that Jeremy is only making things worse by trying to pick a fight with the Fentons over petty insults when Team Phantom is framed by Colette.

The A-Listers:
* Only Sane by Comparison: Team Phantom and their loved ones only regard them as barely better than Colette since, while they're not sociopaths like her, they're still rotten Jerkass bullies who are every bit as spoiled, shallow, snobby, unpleasant, and insufferably annoying as her. This fuels Kwan's decision to quit their clique at the end of "Blackmailed" because he doesn't want to be part of a group that's shallow/clueless enough to hang out with a monster like Colette and be too apathetic to do anything to stop her despite her clearly being unstable until it was MUCH too late.

Paulina:
* Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance: Everyone, even the A-Listers, make it clear she’s delusional for thinking she has any chance with Danny Phantom since he clearly just regards her at best as an unimportant annoying fangirl that he barely knows, especially now that he’s dating Starlight Spirit who he actually has a connection with and is a fellow superhero who actually is in his league.

Dash Baxter:
* A Lighter Shade of Black: Unlike Colette, he’s capable of taking rejection since he loses interest in her by “Golden” after being thoroughly creeped out by her growing obsession with Danny and gives up on Starlight Spirit in “Empowered” after accepting she only likes her boyfriend Danny Phantom.
* Turned Off by the Jerkass: He was interested in Colette at first for her good looks, wealth, and status which made him jealous of Danny for the attention she was giving him but over time he becomes increasingly disturbed by her worsening erratic behavior and growing fixation with the Fenton boy that leads him to give up on her completely and refuse to help in anymore of her plans to ruin Star and Danny’s relationship regardless of how much she bribes or manipulate him by “Golden” and “Empowered”.
* Unluckily Lucky: After losing all interest in Colette he becomes relieved that he never ended up with her, especially in “Blackmailed” after seeing how completely miserable Danny is when she forces him to be her boyfriend.

Kwan Li:
* Adaptational Wealth: It’s unknown how wealthy his family was in canon but here his uncle owns a chain of restaurants.
* Always Second Best: After “Blackmailed”, he’s accepted that Danny is a better man and boyfriend than him since he was willing to give up his freedom and happiness to protect Star from Colette by agreeing to temporarily be her slave while Kwan was too cowardly to stand up to her at the cost of his popularity (at first).
* Comically Lopsided Rivalry: Even he eventually acknowledges Star wouldn’t have anything to do with him even if Danny wasn’t in the picture.
* I Regret Nothing: Despite the toll that quitting the A-List took on his social life, Kwan doesn’t regret it at all since he’s just glad to have patched things up with Team Phantom (especially Star) and doesn’t have to be bossed around by Dash anymore.
* A Lighter Shade of Black: Both him and Donovan Loadman are dimwitted, cowardly bullies who are Abhorrent Admirers to Star that seek to steal her from from Danny for shallow reasons despite knowing she doesn’t want anything to do with them but Kwan genuinely care about her and eventually matures enough to make peace with the couple after accepting he has no chance with Star and that Danny is the better man/boyfriend while Donovan only grows more obsessed with Star over time since he’s too entitled to accept her rejections or that a middle-class guy like Danny has far better luck with girls, including rich ones, than himself and resorts to increasingly deplorable methods to try to make her his.
* Love Cannot Overcome: Part of the reason why him and Star broke up is because Kwan’s feelings for her weren’t enough to make him stand up to the A-Listers for her sake or even his own. Subverted at the end of “Blackmailed” when he gets completely fed up by Colette’s sociopathic cruelty and joins forces with Team Phantom to expose her true monstrous nature to the world even if it means exposing all his embarrassing secrets then quits the A-Listers for good after realizing popularity isn’t worth losing Star forever or letting a psycho like Colette win.
* Misery Builds Character: He becomes a lot more empathetic towards Team Phantom in “Blackmailed” after being blackmailed by Colette into being her lackey since he finally sees how truly awful she is and the torment she puts them through on a regular basis for her own twisted amusement. He eventually works up the nerve to help Team Phantom lock Colette away for good and quit the A-Listers after realizing that his obsession with popularity almost ruined his own life and brought him nothing but misery.
* Privileged Rival: His family is said to be better off than Danny’s due to his uncle owning a series of restaurants and they’re both competing for Star until he gives up on her for good in “Blackmailed” after accepting she’s better off with Danny.
* Reformed, but Rejected: Kwan admits to Star and Danny in “Theft” that people still understandably don’t want anything to do with him for all the bullying after he left the A-Listers in “Blackmailed”.
* Shipper on Deck: He becomes one of Star and Danny at the end of “Blackmailed” after realizing that the Fenton boy is a much better boyfriend than he ever was because of the lengths he was willing to go through to protect her from Colette by agreeing to temporarily be her slave since Star mattered more to him than his own freedom and happiness.
* “The Reason I Suck” Speech: After seeing how completely miserable Team Phantom is due to being victims of Colette’s schemes in “Blackmailed”, Kwan admits Star was right along about him being nothing but a pathetic meatheaded Dirty Coward who only cares about popularity and was too dumb to realize sooner that Colette was nothing but bad news all along.
* Turned Off by the Jerkass: When he first met Colette he quickly fell for her beauty and fake charms that led him to break up with Star via text message so he could go out with Colette for a week until she dumped him but when she joins the A-Listers he becomes increasingly fed up by her Control Freak attitude and worsening obsession with Danny enough to avoid her whenever possible and refuses to help her in any of her schemes to break up Star and Danny by “Golden”. In “Blackmailed”, he comes to utterly despise Colette when she proves to be a complete psychopath by blackmailing him into helping her destroy Team Phantom so he joins forces with them to put her away for her crimes for good.
* Underestimating Intelligence: After being blackmailed by Colette into helping her destroy Team Phantom as part of a scheme to steal Danny from Star in “Blackmailed”, he admits he did this to Danny as he thought in the past that the Fenton boy merely disliked Colette for her bossy attitude but now realizes it’s because he was wise to her true rotten personality from the start and justifiably wanted nothing to do with her.
* Using You All Along: In “Blackmailed”, when Colette blackmails Kwan into helping her steal Danny from Star by threatening to expose all his embarrassing secrets, she reveals she never cared about him since she thought he was a complete idiot on the day they met and only stole him from Star to hurt her stepsister for fun.
* Wasted Beauty: He’s a handsome and muscular jock but also a thick-headed Peer-Pressured Bully that everyone rightfully regards as an idiot.
* Yes-Man: Very deconstructed as Star and Colette have mockingly pointed out that his desperation to be part of the popular crowd has made him little more than an unthinking minion who does whatever the cool kids say since he won’t even stand up for himself when they bully him. Kwan himself realizes over time that his obsession with popularity has brought him nothing but misery since Star the girl loves doesn’t want anything to do with him anymore after shedding the A-Listers influence and becomes much happier hanging out with her True Companions Team Phantom while Kwan is stuck being miserable from hanging out with spoiled Jerkasses like Paulina, Dash, and Colette who don’t care about him in the slightest. It gets worse in “Blackmailed” when Colette threatens him into helping her ruin Team Phantom or else she’ll destroy his social life by exposing his embarrassing secrets. Kwan eventually accepts that his obsession with being one of the cool kids has done nothing but ruin his life by costing him Star and turning him into Colette’s slave who he knows won’t hesitate to sell him out so he conspires with Team Phantom to expose her crimes at Star’s birthday party to get her arrested and publicly admits his embarrassing hobbies himself to remove her hold over him because he decided that preserving his reputation isn’t worth losing Star forever or letting an irredeemable witch like Colette win. For good measure, he also quits the A-Listers for good since he’s decided that he’ll never let anyone treat him like a lackey ever again.

Wufong:
* Pet the Dog: As manipulative as Wufong was, Misty admits in “Blackmailed” that he did give her genuinely sound advice by warning her against getting on the bad side of someone as dangerous as a fae like Puck.

Freakshow:
* Badass Bookworm: He’s quite knowledgeable about the arcane and mystical artifacts.
* Token Human: Before Colette appeared, he was the only genuinely evil human antagonist Team Phantom has ever fought.

Stella:
* All for Nothing: To Stella’s immense disappointment at the end of “Blackmailed” she realizes she failed to be any better of a parent to Colette than her other maternal figures all these years for being just as enabling of her rotten behavior through her overindulgence and obliviousness (to flat-out complete denial) of Colette’s horrible personality despite all the trouble she causes and everyone’s extremely valid complaints about her growing out of her control Spoiled Brat behavior until it all blew up in her face when Colette became a criminal by using extremely illegal means to try to ruin the lives of her daughter Star and her friends Team Phantom For the Evulz. Granted everybody, including herself, point out she was just wasting her time from the beginning because nothing she did would’ve made a difference since Colette was obviously a time bomb waiting to go off and meeting Danny only unintentionally sped up process but she just would’ve found some other guy to totally obsess over even if she never met the Fenton boy so the evil French brat was nothing but a lost cause.
* Dramatic Irony: Stella left Johnathan for Jean-Luc because she wanted a more glamorous and fulfilling life but she ends up WAY worse off than him since he's found happiness with his loving Nice Girl girlfriend Solene who vastly prefers him over Jean-Luc and remains close with his family while Stella is stuck being miserable with the Beviers since they never cared about her as it's resulted in a Happy Marriage Charade that is obviously doomed to failure thanks to Jean-Luc's growing lack of interest in her as he’s looking for a replacement Trophy Wife and Colette gets arrested after exposing her sociopathic nature while Stella’s relationship with Star remains incredibly strained at best as a result of her many mistakes.
* Irony: Stella always hated Donovan Loadman for being a repulsive, petty Spoiled Brat who harasses Star but stubbornly refused to accept for years that her own stepdaughter Colette is exactly the same.
* Know When to Fold ‘Em: After Colette is arrested at the end of “Blackmailed”, Stella is forced to accept everyone's insults and criticisms about Colette's horrible nature since her crimes made her stepdaughter impossible to defend.
* Love Cannot Overcome: While Stella loved the Self-Made Man Johnathan enough to marry him against her classist mother Beatrice’s wishes it wasn’t enough to get her to stand up to her mom’s abuse (something Johnathan mocks her for by calling her Beatrice’s servant) and eventually their marriage dissolved then she married the Rich Bastard Jean-Luc who fit her mother’s elitist standards. Subverted at the end of “Visited” where she drops her Extreme Doormat tendencies after reaching her limit with Beatrice’s callous selfish when she makes it clear that all she cares about is her own advancement in high society even at the expense of their family so Stella slaps her for her despicable behavior and gets a restraining order against her mother to protect Star from her toxic influence.
* Superior Successor: After seeing how irredeemably horrible Beatrice is, everyone agrees Stella is this to her mother due to actually being a decent person at her core who is capable of improving for the better.

The Beviers:
* Adults Are Useless: Jean-Luc and all his wives are guilty of shaping Colette into the monstrous Spoiled Brat she is now through their overindulgence and ignorance (to downright willful levels) regarding her true vile nature.
* Unwitting Instigator of Doom:
* To say Stella and Jean-Luc’s decision to move to Amity Park was a bad idea is an understatement since Colette becomes a FAR worse menace than any of Team Phantom’s regular villains.
* Team Phantom and their allies have loudly questioned multiple times how the Beviers could’ve failed so spectacularly as parents that they raised a monster like Colette who only exists to ruin the lives of everyone she meets.
* Upper-Class Twit: Everyone has a seriously low opinion regarding their intelligence since Jean-Luc is a pompous ignoramus who everyone regards as totally useless when it comes to dealing with his children, Stella is a Brainless Beauty Womanchild who even exasperates her loved ones with her naivety, and Colette is a massive Alpha Bitch Spoiled Brat with No Social Skills who earns the ire of everyone she encounters by being a repugnant sociopathic elitist that even the sadistic Manipulative Bitch Penelope Spectra regards as an irredeemable monster.

Jean-Luc Bevier:
* Anti-Mentor: Everyone lampshades, especially by the end of "Blackmailed", that he groomed his daughter Colette into a MUCH worse person than he ever was by passing down all his negative qualities and enabling all her worst traits.
* Delusions of Eloquence: He sees himself as a refined, upperclass gentleman but everyone who’s had to deal with his obnoxious, self-important snobbery know he’s just an annoying Slimeball that’s too stupid and entitled to put up with.
* Enraged by Idiocy: It completely astounds him that he has to spell out to Stella in “Blackmailed” that Colette always bullied Star and that they were never going to get along because they absolutely hate each other since it was obvious to literally everyone BUT her.
* Hypocrite:
* In “Blackmailed”, Jean-Luc calls Danny a “gold-digging son of lunatics”, which doesn’t mean much coming from an elitist snob who values wealth and status above all else and also hit on Danny's mom Maddie once.
* Everyone regards him as a lazy idiot who, despite only caring about his own reputation, is too much of an apathetic moron to do anything about his Spoiled Brat of a daughter Colette’s increasingly despicable behavior no matter how much trouble she causes unless it makes him look bad and his refusal to get her under control only further damages their family’s name.

Colette Bevier:
* Be Careful What You Wish For: Colette wants Danny to notice her and she accomplishes that in “Forgotten” by getting him to completely hate her guts for trying to manipulate him in to dating her along with selfishly keeping him away from his loved ones to have him all to herself so she can keep him under thumb by having him listen only to her. It only gets much worse from there when Colette resorts to increasingly heinous methods to achieve her goals.
* Boisterous Weakling: Team Phantom and their allies aren't at all scared of her since they know she's just a pathetic Spoiled Brat who is no threat when she can't con, threaten, bribe, or blackmail her way out of trouble or hide behind her family's wealth/status, not that it stops them from retaliating like in "Empowered" where Misty curses her with bad luck and getting struck with lightning while Star delivers a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown after she loses her ghostpowers.
* Bratty Half-Pint: Star confirms Colette was always a rotten to the core Spoiled Brat since she's been bullying her for fun when they first met as kids.
* Hypocrite:
* She’s a total Child Hater but as everyone points out she embodies literally every negative stereotype associated with Spoiled Brats by being an unbearably annoying Psychopathic Womanchild that’s FAR less mature than even her infant half-brother Pierre.
* Kwan and Dash point out in "Golden" that, contrary to her claims, she doesn't love or care about Danny in the slightest since she's only trying to ruin his happy relationship with Star out of petty spite towards her stepsister and would act just as fixated towards Tucker despite being repulsed by him as long as he was dating Star.
* She considers violence barbaric but Team Phantom point out she's a major Spoiled Brat who lashes out whenever she's denied like when she gets into a fight with Paulina after they both lose the beauty pageant to Valerie in "Dressed", trying to destroy Team Phantom and threaten Danny into a relationship when she temporarily gets ghosts powers in "Empowered", and physically abusing Danny by slapping him across the face for rejecting her again as well as fighting Team Phantom when they ruin her blackmailing scheme in "Blackmailed".
* Hypocrite Has a Point: Regardless of her hypocrisy, Colette is spot-on that it was a mistake for her biological parents to ever get married since they made a lousy couple and their relationship ended on extremely bad terms when they divorced. Suzette certainly regrets ever falling for a Slimeball like Jean-Luc since she only became aware of his flaws when he proved to be a horrible husband and wishes she never let her parents pressure her into marrying him just because he was a fellow Blue Blood.
* Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance: Danny lampshades in “Blackmailed” that she has absolutely no clue what a real relationship is because in her warped mind “boyfriend” is just another word for “slave” since she actually thinks forcing him to date her and wait on her hand and foot while threatening to ruin his life as well as those of his loved ones if he doesn’t give into her insane demands will get him to like her.
* Insane Equals Violent: As her obsession with Danny grows over time she undergoes Sanity Slippage that makes her resort to increasingly violent means such as picking fights with Vivian in “Visited” and Star in “Costumed”, trying to kill Danny’s loved ones and threatening him into a relationship in “Empowered” after developing a God Complex when she temporarily gets ghost powers, and physically abusing Danny by slapping him when he rejects her for the final time in “Blackmailed”.
* Interspecies Romance: She is a human that has a one-sided obsession with Danny, a human/ghost hybrid. It's deconstructed even more in "Blackmailed" when she finds out about his secret identity and plans on using it to blackmail him into being her obedient paw in her quest to rule the world by using his powers to take over contries and force him to impregnate her with children that inherit his abilities to use as her own personal army.
* Irony:
* She becomes obsessed with making Danny love her but only succeeds in making him and his loved ones hate her FAR more than any of his villains, even Vlad and Dark Phantom combined.
* She always prided herself on her popularity (especially with boys) but she becomes a total pariah after everyone in Amity Park reaches their limit with her unhinged obsession with Danny and generally unbearable Rich Bitch Spoiled Brat personality.
* Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Despite her stubborn insistence that she would make a better girlfriend for Danny than Star, she proves to be absolutely clueless when it comes to love, romance, and friendship since she doesn’t know what a healthy relationship is or even how to bond with people as she only stole Star’s boyfriends for fun in the past and Danny is no exception because she doesn’t care about him in the slightest despite her delusions to the contrary due to being fine with abandoning him as well as hurting him and his loved ones along with trying to ruin his life when he makes it clear for the final time he’ll never have anything to do with someone as irredeemably vile as her who he hates with every fiber of his being. Even Paulina lampshades at the end of “Blackmailed” that Danny would’ve been totally miserable stuck with an unstable nutcase like Colette for the rest of his life, which Team Phantom totally agrees with her on.
* Laser-Guided Karma: She's always prided herself on being a Head-Turning Beauty Dude Magnet Serial Homewrecker who can easily steal other girl's boyfriends (especially Star's) but she becomes obsessed with Danny because he despises her for those qualities and her increasingly rotten behavior makes the rest of the guys who know her utterly repulsed by her Spoiled Brat Psychopathic Womanchild nature with Tucker, Dash, Dale, Kwan, Theodore, and Johnny 13 completely refusing to associate with her like Danny.
* Lethal Joke Character: She's a lazy Spoiled Brat that Team Phantom only regard as a pathetic nuisance because all her attempts at stealing Danny from Star result in nothing except humiliating defeat at best but in "Empowered" and "Blackmailed" she comes dangerously close to destroying them when she accidentally obtains ghost powers temporarily in the former that lead to her becoming a megalomaniacal supervillain trying to murder Team Phantom and force Danny to be hers just before attempting world domination and in the latter she hatches a blackmailing scheme that nearly succeeds at framing Team Phantom and forcing Danny to be hers until they expose her crimes with help from their allies.
* Love Cannot Overcome: Regardless if her attachment towards Danny and her biological parents is genuine or not does not make her any less of a horrible person who manipulates and exploits them just as much as she does everyone else and she is ready to discard them at the drop of a hat as soon as they stop being useful or just refuse to give in to her depraved wishes or put up with her insane behavior.
* Love Hungry: Darkly Deconstructed to extremely ridiculous lengths. Her toxic home life (consisting of a serial cheating apathetic father and multiple clueless overindulgent mothers) along with her MANY personality flaws have rendered her totally clueless about what love or even a healthy relationship is so the ONLY way she knows how to express her love for Danny is by forcing him into a relationship while making him wait on her hand and foot under the threat of ruining his life and those of his loved ones with her blackmail material.
* Marital Rape License: Discussed. She wants to have kids with Danny and makes it crystal clear his consent isn’t important to her at all since she’s fine with forcing him into a relationship with her in “Blackmailed”.
* Nemesis Magnet: Danny lampshades Colette is this in “Blackmailed” by being such an irredeemable sociopathic Rich Bitch she made EVERYONE hate her since Team Phantom, their allies, their enemies, the A-Listers, and practically everybody in Amity Park want her out of their lives forever to the point she has to threaten him just to get him to spend any time with her which made even his enemies just that much more eager to get rid of her for good.
* No Listening Skills: Deconstructed with Colette since everyone is becoming as aware as Team Phantom on how disturbed and instable she is by “Golden” as she keeps stubbornly refusing to give up on Danny no matter how much the Beviers, A-Listers, Team Phantom, and even he tells her to stay out of his life especially since his constant rejections only worsen her unhealthy obsessive behavior.
* Offended by an Enemy’s Indifference: It drives her completely over the deep end that literally NOTHING she does can make Danny pay attention to her instead of Star and that Team Phantom regard her as just a major nuisance because her overbearingly annoying Spoiled Brat personality make them incapable of taking her seriously, especially since practically all her plans either totally fail or backfire spectacularly on her.
* Paper Tiger: She loves using her family's riches and status to throw her weight around but it doesn't stop people from getting payback since she's beaten up several times for making inappropriate advances on other girl's boyfriends (who she initially mistook for Danny), Star is fine with hitting her when she stops caring about getting in trouble with their mother Stella (the best example being the No-Holds-Barred Beatdown she gives in "Empowered"), Danny is ok with pranking her (like dying her hair green in "Forgotten" and scaring her into leaving him alone in "Blackmailed" by destroying her things and dragging her across the city), and Misty is more than fine with using her magic to hurt Colette for being a racist bully like cursing her with bad luck and hitting her with lightning in “Empowered”.
* Pitbull Dates Puppy: An extremely dark deconstruction since she’s a sociopathic Alpha Bitch that’s obsessed with the Nice Guy Danny Fenton and seeks to forcefully make him hers as well as corrupt him into being a Henpecked Husband as cruel and arrogant as herself regardless of how many lives she’s ruins in the process or how much he despises her for her irredeemably evil to the core excuse for a personality.
* Power at a Price: She learns in “Empowered” that one negative aspect of having ghost powers is that they burn a lot of calories when you use them so she raids the fancy restaurants for her favorite rich people food to combat her hunger.
* Secretly Selfish: By “Golden” and “Blackmailed” it’s becoming no secret to everyone that Colette just wants to destroy Star and Danny’s relationship out of a petty obsession with ruining her stepsister’s life and because there’s something SERIOUSLY wrong with her for being incapable of taking rejection rather than any true desire for or genuine interest in the Fenton boy.
* Skilled, but Naive: Yolanda calls Colette this at the end of “Blackmailed” since while she has talent in being a Manipulative Bitch, her impatience and lack of foresight make her terrible at long-term planning especially since she focuses more on short-term gratification along with disregarding the potential consequences of her actions which her blackmailing scheme proved as she was so desperate to get rid of Team Phantom she got sloppy and it lead to her being arrested.
* Star-Crossed Lovers: In her own mind, at least, her and Danny, in a one-sided love. She's an elitist Blue Blood of an Old Money family; he's a humble Nice Guy from a middle-class family who already has a girlfriend and both their families can’t stand each other (Jean-Luc hates the Fentons for snobby reasons as well as Danny unintentionally bringing out the worst in Colette by constantly rejecting her, which is completely hypocritical since he refuses to acknowledge that his own horrible parenting is what turned her into the sociopathic Rich Bitch she is now by enabling her negative qualities, while the Fentons hate the Beviers for being FAR worse Upper-Class Twits than the Mansons ever were). It ends in her arrest.
* Strange Minds Think Alike: The ONLY thing her and Star have ever agreed on is that Donovan Loadman and the A-Listers (especially Dash, Kwan, and Paulina) are pathetic idiots.
* They Would Cut You Up: In “Blackmailed”, Colette makes it clear to Danny she’ll expose his secret identity to the world, completely uncaring of what any ghost hunters or government agencies do to him, if he doesn’t do what she says and tries to do just that at Star’s birthday party after he helps Team Phantom expose her crimes before realizing they already deleted her blackmail material from her phone and nobody will believe a Compulsive Liar like her.
* Thinks Like a Romance Novel: Colette has a highly idealized and immature view of love. She is infatuated with Danny, a boy who completely despises her, yet she convinces herself that he’s simply playing hard to get. She romanticizes her relationship with Danny, seeing it as a beautiful forbidden love story like Romeo and Juliet. However, her interactions with Danny make it clear that his feelings for Colette are pure hatred as noted by everyone, including total strangers who have witnessed her true rotten character in action because she’s developed a bad habit of mistaking random guys for Danny, emphasizing how utterly delusional her perspective is and how mentally unbalanced she is.
* Too Clever by Half: While Colette is cunning and knows it which only fuels her narcissism, it's pointed out by everyone even Yolanda that her major flaws such as her laziness, arrogance, immaturity, lack of foresight, and petty nature cause her to sabotage her own plans or come up with ones that are doomed to failure.
* Villain Has a Point:
* When Colette finds out Danny’s secret identity in “Blackmailed”, she uses it (along with the crimes she framed Team Phantom for and some unflattering stuff about Star) to blackmail him into dating her (well, more like be her slave) by pointing out it would be very bad for him if it got out that he’s half-ghost since ghost hunters and government agencies would hunt him down to either destroy him or perform painful experiments on him (which he knows is true since he had to use Freakshow’s reality-warping gauntlet to erase everybody’s memory of his ghost powers so people like the Guys in White would leave him and his loved ones alone). Danny only plays along with her outrageous demands until Team Phantom and their allies get rid of all her evidence and expose her true nature to the world as an untrustworthy sociopath so nobody will ever believe her when she does reveal his secret to everyone out of petty spite over being rejected by him again.
* During her Villainous Breakdown in “Blackmailed” after her crimes are exposed, she cruelly but accurately calls Stella out on being so foolish she can’t figure out that Jean-Luc only regards her as a Trophy Wife he can easily replace since he doesn’t value her anymore than he does his previous wives and it’s obvious to literally everyone BUT her that he doesn’t actually care about her as anything but a pretty decoration for him to trade in as soon as he gets bored of her, the fact that Jean-Luc is planning to divorce Stella now that he’s grown bored of her and has been seeing Yolanda plus who knows how many women since coming to Amity Park only further proves Colette’s point.
* Women Prefer Strong Men: She’s just as disgusted as Star is by Kwan’s submissiveness towards the A-Liters (to the point she mockingly calls him “Dash’s attack dog”) and becomes even more interested in Danny when she learns about his ghost powers in “Blackmailed” (mainly because she sees it as a means of acquiring power for herself when she puts him under her thumb) plus the fact he’s willing to use them to torment her into leaving him alone only convinces her further that they’ll make a good match by showing he does have a cruel side.
* Wrong Genre Savvy: She believes that her and Danny’s story is like a tragic romance mixed with a fairytale.
* You Are What You Hate: She despises her Abhorrent Admirer Donovan Loadman for being an insufferably annoying Spoiled Brat that can’t grasp his family’s wealth doesn’t make up for his major character flaws but she stubbornly ignores that Danny absolutely hates her for the exact same reasons.

Joy Strong:
* Jerkass Has a Point: Considering Solene is a hardworking Nice Girl that’s devoted to Johnathan who, unlike Stella, can immediately see Jean-Luc Bevier for the conceited Slimeball he is underneath his superficial charm, she’s hardly unjustified in viewing her as a superior romantic partner for her son.
* Like a Son to Me: She’s MUCH more welcoming of the kindhearted and loyal Solene since she’s a way better partner for her son Johnathan than Stella ever was.
* Pet the Dog: She treats Solene like a daughter upon meeting her and very much approves of her dating Johnathan.

Heather:
* Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Seriously downplayed but part of the reason why she seeks a wealthy husband is to provide her kids a better life like the one she had growing up.
* Jerkass Has a Point: She admits it was a huge mistake to ever marry Chip just for being a handsome and popular athlete because they made a horrible couple.
* Old Shame: The only thing her and Chip agree on is that marrying each other was the worst mistake they ever made.
* Red Oni, Blue Oni: She’s the bitter and immature Red Oni to her ex-husband Chip’s kinder and wiser Blue Oni.

Chip:
* Jerkass Has a Point: He makes no bones about regretting ever being married to Heather since they were a terrible couple.
* Old Shame: The one thing him and Heather can agree on is that marrying each other was the biggest mistake they ever made.
* Pet the Dog: He did take responsibility for getting Heather pregnant by marrying her instead of abandoning her.
* Red Oni, Blue Oni: Chip is the Blue Oni because he has grown into a better person after renouncing his bullying ways and accepting responsibility for the consequences of his own poor choices while his ex-wife Heather is the Red Oni for becoming increasingly bitter over the years due to her awful adult life and never outgrows her Alpha Bitch Spoiled Brat behavior from high school.
* Reformed Bully: Unlike his ex-wife Heather, he did somewhat clean up his act after high school since he’s given up his bullying ways to become a better person and parent to their kids.

Reginald Loadman:
* Broken Ace: He’s a charming and successful businessmen who is beloved in the community but is a widower who struggles to control his bratty son’s increasingly rotten behavior and has to constantly deal with the fallout of the trouble he causes.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* He makes no bones about the fact that his son Donovan had it coming when Danny punched his teeth out for harassing his girlfriend Star in “Visited”.
* He is correct that Donovan seriously needs to get over Star since she already has a boyfriend and made it very clear that she wouldn’t want anything to do with him even if she were single.
* Considering his son Donovan is a MAJOR Jerkass Spoiled Brat and Upper-Class Twit with an unhealthy obsession with Star, his decision to disinherit him is completely reasonable and has been coming for a long time because he’s proven he would make a horrible heir.
* Moral reasons aside, he is completely justified in being outraged at his son Donovan for harassing Star since it just doesn’t ruin their family’s proud image (especially since his unstable behavior costed Donovan his country club membership and has become well known in high society after “Visited” which turned Donovan into a pariah) but her parents are a wealthy socialite that comes from Old Money and a powerful, well-connected prosecutor who are more than fine with punishing him to the fullest extent of the law.
* Red Oni, Blue Oni: He’s the mature and personable Blue Oni to his son Donovan’s ill-tempered and aggressive Red Oni.
* Virtuous Character Copy: of Ted Wassanasong from King of the Hill since they’re both wealthy and charming businessmen with an egotistical Spoiled Brat son who hits on a Nice Girl that already has a loving Nice Guy boyfriend and utterly despises him for being a self-centered Rich Bastard who bullies anyone he sees as beneath him including her boyfriend but while Ted is a pompous, hypocritical snob who feigns politeness and enables his son Chane’s rotten behavior, Reginald is a genuine Nice Guy who sincerely gets along with everyone and doesn’t hesitate to severely punish his son Donovan when he misbehaves.

Donovan Loadman:
* Abuse Escalation: He starts off as just a nuisance in “Mistaken” who only makes unwanted advances towards Star and insults her boyfriend Danny but in “Empowered” he tries to force her into an unwanted Arranged Marriage with the help of her grandmother Beatrice but when she still refuses to have anything to do with him by slapping away an expensive necklace he tried to bribe her with and tells him to get lost he resorts to giving her a Forceful Kiss and hitting her when she retaliates.
* Adaptational Early Appearance: He didn’t have any history with Team Phantom prior to “Phantom Planet” and barely interacted with them in the episode but here he’s been an Abhorrent Admirer to Star and Sam for years and develops an intense hatred of Danny for dating the former and constantly interfering in his attempts to steal her from him especially when they get Donovan disinherited by his family as punishment.
* Adaptational Wealth: His family’s financial status was unknown in “Phantom Planet” but here he’s a Blue Blood that comes from Old Money.
* Beneath the Mask: Everyone dismisses him as just another Spoiled Brat but Team Phantom know he’s just as much of a rotten sociopath as Colette due to being too elitist and entitled to take “no” for an answer and after he harassed Star in “Visited” everyone begins to realize since Star’s loved ones get a restraining order against him, Reginald disinherits him, the Mansons & Beviers refuse to associate with him, Virginia rightfully considers him unstable, and Eleanor has him banned from the country club.
* Corrupted Character Copy: His personality is very similar to Chane Wassanasong’s from King of the Hill since they’re both insufferable hedonistic Jerkass Spoiled Brat Dirty Cowards from wealthy families that pursue a Nice Girl for openly shallow reasons who utterly despises them for being self-absorbed bastards that greatly overestimate themselves and bully their boyfriends only to suffer karma for it (including a beating from their boyfriends at one point). But Chane does know when to back off from his bullying (after Bobby kicks him in the groin), doesn’t fixate over Connie, and eventually reforms enough 10 years later to get along with her as well as Bobby to the point he briefly dates the former and opens a restaurant with the latter as business partners while Donovan is a sociopath who becomes increasingly obsessed with Star due to her constant rejections and the despicable lengths he’s willing to go through to steal her from Danny has earned him the undying hatred of them and their loved ones.
* Deliberately Bad Example: He was created specifically to be a worse rival than Kwan who wanted to steal Star from Danny but became increasingly sympathetic.
* Fatal Flaw: His Lack of Empathy is another major one since it makes him incapable of understanding how people (who aren't sociopaths like Beatrice and Colette or uncaring Jerkasses like Jean-Luc, Vivian, and Theodore) would have a huge problem with his horrendoue personality or unacceptable harassment of Star.
* Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence: While he can’t stand any guy dating Star, his classism makes him even more annoyingly obsessed with stealing her from Danny because he refuses to accept that a rich girl like her would rather be with a middle-class guy like him than a Blue Blood like himself.
* Hypocrite:
* Jean-Luc points out in “Golden” that for all his disdain of the lower classes his harassment of Star shows he’s ultimately just a violent brute who’s no better than them.
* He has a very low opinion of his friends intelligence which Vivian calls him out on in “Theft” by reminding him that it was his stupidity that got them all disinherited because he was too dumb to accept that he had absolutely no chance with Star since it was obvious to everyone else that she hated him too much for his insufferably annoying personality to ever associate with him.
* Irony:
* He’s intensely jealous of Danny for being popular with rich girls like Star, Sam, and Colette but as Vivian points out in “Theft” he’s better off this way because he’d end up as miserable as Danny was in “Blackmailed” by being stuck with an unstable psychopath like Colette and her father Jean-Luc did him a HUGE favor by turning down his idea for an Arranged Marriage in “Golden”.
* He lampshades that despite Danny being middle-class he’s far more popular with girls, including rich ones, than a Blue Blood like himself. Deconstructed Trope — everyone (including the Beviers and Richard Traville) point out that, despite his common background, Danny is much more of a gentleman than the Loadman brat will ever be.
* Loving Bully: Completely subverted and deconstructed since he makes it clear he doesn’t love Star and establishes himself as a FAR worse Abhorrent Admirer Jerkass than Dash Baxter ever was by constantly harassing her and resorting to physical violence when he has enough of her rejections only for Star and Danny to hit him in response.
* Not-So-Harmless Villain: Downplayed and deconstructed. Team Phantom regard him only as an over pampered nuisance like Colette but even less threatening because of his stupidity and while his unstable personality makes him willing to use even violence it costs him dearly by making a pariah in high society after Star gets a restraining order against him, his dad cuts him off, and even his friends are losing patience with his self-destructive behavior because no amount of misfortune can make him give up on Star.
* Offended by an Enemy’s Indifference: It enrages him to no end that Team Phantom won’t roll over to his outrageous demands because they hate him too much for being an annoying creep to care that he’s a Blue Blood.
* Red Oni, Blue Oni:
* He’s the immature and obnoxious Red Oni to his father Reginald’s professional and charming Blue Oni.
* He’s the hot-headed and stubborn Red Oni to his friends Vivian and Theodore’s indifferent and pragmatic Blue Oni.
* Ridiculously High Relationship Standards: His ideal wife is a “pretty idiot who makes him look good” and was planning to turn Star or Sam into this regardless of their protests.
* Right for the Wrong Reasons: He considers his friends idiots but only because he claims they’re “ungrateful dimwits” who would be lost without his guidance.
* Single-Target Sexuality: Darkly Deconstructed. He openly admits to having no love for Star as he fixates over her only because she comes from a wealthy family and his massive ego can’t handle rejection, despite even his friends telling him to give up on his pointless self-destructive obsession and find another girl, especially not from a rich heiress who would rather date a Dumb Jock like Kwan and a middle-class Nice Guy like Danny over a Blue Blood Spoiled Brat like himself. While he has shown interest in other girls like Sam and Colette, he admits it’s for purely shallow reasons like wanting to get his hands on their family fortunes in an Arranged Marriage by having a wealthy Trophy Wife after his father Reginald disinherits him as punishment for harassing Team Phantom in “Visited”.
* Villain Has a Point: Jealousy and snobbery aside, he is right to be boggled by Colette's interest in Danny since, as Team Phantom lampshaded, she's just as much of an elitist snob as him yet she still prefers the middle-class Danny over a Blue Blood like himself despite it being obvious even to Toadman that he hates her and she has done nothing but fail to steal him from Star.

Beatrice Traville:
* Anti-Mentor: She made Stella the miserable, unpleasant Rich Bitch she is today by forcing her classist views onto her and seeks to do the same to Star by forcing her to live with her in New York and setting up an Arranged Marriage between her and her most revolting Abhorrent Admirer Donovan Loadman just for being a Blue Blood regardless of anyone's feelings on the matter but this is what finally pushes Stella to cut ties with Beatrice to protect her daughter and the rest of her family do the same thing to protect themselves and their loved ones for a similar fate.
* Drama Queen: Team Phantom certainly regard her as this for thinking her past as an Impoverished Noble justifies the monster she’s chosen to become. Also, Johnathan can testify that she throws very violent temper tantrums when being criticized.
* Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence: All that matters to her is her elitist views and she’s incapable of tolerating Danny and Johnathan even for her family’s sake.
* Offended by an Enemy’s Indifference: She’s completely outraged that Team Phantom and their loved ones hate her too much for being an irredeemable old harpy to ever go along with her insane demands just because she’s a wealthy Traville.
* Picky Eater: Richard tells everyone in “Visited” that Beatrice is too uptight to eat ordinary food like pizza that’s enjoyed by everyone.
* The Irredeemable Exception: She’s the only Traville devoid of any admirable or sympathetic qualities to the point Richard is the only person willing to tolerate her existence out of some misplaced hope that she’s capable of redemption some day and even he won’t put up with her despicable behavior anymore after accepting his Henpecked Husband tendencies were just enabling Beatrice’s worst qualities and making everyone else’s lives miserable while everybody else is simply glad to have her out of their lives, especially her relatives who have run out of patience for her Control Freak personality and extremely old-fashioned elitism since they refuse to ever let her forcefully mold them into horrible snobs like herself.
* Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Completely subverted. She would believe herself to be this as a result of her Impoverished Patrician backstory but Star and Danny make it clear she’s nothing but a bitter old Psychopathic Womanchild who only cares about money and status since she still chooses to be a horrible person who hurts even her own family for personal benefit despite her life working out in her favor.

Cartland:
* Even Evil Has Standards: Downplayed. He rightfully regards Colette as a huge brat and only works with her for financial gain.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* He is correct about Colette being a total brat.
* After Colette’s blackmailing scheme fails he fully acknowledges that it was a dumb idea to ever team up with an unhinged Spoiled Brat like her who was fixating over a boy that obviously didn’t even like her in the slightest.

Yolanda:
* Evil Counterpart:
* To Suzette as both of them are attractive wealthy women with ties to the Beviers but Suzette is a famous philanthropist that comes from Old Money who was oblivious to the Beviers rotten natures at first before wising up but still loves Colette not that it stops her from punishing the Spoiled Brat for her crimes and married Jean-Luc because she was pressured to by her family and fell for his fake charm while Yolanda is a con artist who prefers to stay unknown, knew all along that the Beviers are terrible people but doesn’t care, has made her fortune by charming gullible rich men like Jean-Luc, and enables Colette’s horrible behavior for her own selfish benefit while openly not caring about her.
* She’s this to Stella as both are beautiful women with romantic interest in Jean-Luc and are being manipulated by Colette for her own selfish reasons but Stella is at worst an Innocently Insensitive Jerk with a Heart of Gold Dumb Blonde who sincerely loves her kids and is willfully oblivious to the Beviers flaws to the point she deludes herself into believing that she loves them and that they feel the same way but has limits with their snobbery as well as Jean-Luc’s womanizing and Colette’s bullying along with her unhealthy obsession with Danny while Yolanda is a cunning conwoman who hates children and doesn’t care that the Beviers are awful people because all that matters to her is becoming Jean-Luc’s next Trophy Wife to get his money to the point she’s fine with manipulating Colette by using her disturbing fixation with Danny to her advantage.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Considering Colette is a massive Psychopathic Womanchild who regards even her biological parents only as a means to an end for satisfying her own materialistic desires at best, it’s clear that dealing with her only fuels Yolanda’s Child Hater tendencies.
* She rightfully regards Colette as a complete lunatic, especially for being delusional enough to believe she still has any chance with Danny despite everything she’s put him through and him rightfully hating her so much that he’s taken serious legal action in the form of a restraining order to permanently get her out of his life.
* Opportunistic Bastard: She’s always looking for a score and will resort to teaming up with a sociopath like Colette to marry her wealthy father Jean-Luc.
* Sanity Has Advantages: While Colette is too much of an unstable narcissist to handle rejection, she's just a greedy con artist that's willing to call it quits when a mark isn't worth it as she realizes Vlad will never go for her due to his Maddie fixation so she gave up any hopes of seducing him.
* Villainous Valor: Say what you want about her character, but infiltrating a place like Bludworth Academy takes serious guts and doing it successfully is worth admiring as Colette admits.

Vlad Masters:
* Didn’t Think This Through: Danny sites this as a major Fatal Flaw of his because he fails to consider the potential consequences of his plans since he’s tried to enslave powerful enemies like Virgato, the Forces of Nature, the Ghost Bat, and Puck only for them to turn the tables when they prove too much for him to handle.
* Nemesis Magnet: Danny points out to Vlad that he’s this because his Rich Bastard, Manipulative Bastard, and Bad Boss tendencies turn everyone against him since Team Phantom, their allies, their enemies, Valerie, Vortex, Dani, Virgato, the Forces of Nature, and Puck all hate his guts. Even the ghost vultures and Skulker aren’t so loyal to him despite being the only ghosts willing to work for him since the former are quick to ditch him and the latter only cares about getting paid.
* Took a Level in Jerkass: Deconstructed as Danny points out that his increasingly egotistical, power-hungry, controlling, spiteful, and petty attitude has severely screwed him over time and time again by causing him to antagonize dangerous people like Dani, Vortex, Virgato, ghost animals, the Forces of Nature, and Puck.
* Villain Decay: Danny points out that he’s not as competent as he used to be since his increasingly petty and poorly thought out schemes have routinely blown up in his face and he’s more of a nuisance than anything else. The fact he was easily captured in the Fenton Thermos by an inexperienced Star in “Trapped” certainly doesn’t do him any favors. Not that Team Phantom is complaining since it works in their favor.

Penelope Spectra:
* Even Evil Has Standards: She has an extremely low opinion of Stella's intelligence for leaving the Nice Guy Johnathan for the Rich Bastard Jean-Luc who even Spectra refuses to have anything to do with despite her Gold Digger nature.
* Has a Type: She vastly prefers the intelligent Self-Made Man Johnathan Strong over the Jerkass Upper-Class Twit Jean-Luc Bevier.
* Jerkass: She’s a massive bitch who even the other ghost villains can barely stand.
* Villain Has a Point: She bluntly points out to Team Phantom and Johnathan at least twice that Stella is a pathetic Brainless Beauty who's a horrible wife and parent for ditching her first family for the snobby Beviers that only regard her as another easily replaceable Trophy Wife which she is completely in denial about.
* Villain Respect: She genuinely admires Johnathan’s intelligence and is impressed when he manages to quickly memorize the Ghost Zone’s laws in “Court”.

Johnny 13:
* Excellent Judge of Character: He had some interest in Colette for her beauty in “Forgotten” but has grown to completely hate her for her repugnant excuse for a personality by “Blackmailed”.
* Hidden Depths: To Danny’s shock in “Blackmailed”, Johnny 13 reveals he DOES have standards when it comes to girls because he’s grown to hate Colette too much for being a horrible sociopath to care about her beauty and would never even consider dating her, thus showing he ultimately does value a girl’s personality more than her looks.
* Smarter Than You Look: To Danny’s surprise, he’s wised up about Colette’s true rotten nature by “Blackmailed” and doesn’t want anything to do with her, not that the ghost boy blames him.
* Villain Has a Point: Danny agrees with him in “Blackmailed” that Colette is a horrible excuse for a human being and no guy with standards would ever want to date let alone associate with her.

Vivian:
* Adaptational Early Appearance: She didn’t have any history with Team Phantom prior to “Phantom Planet” and barely interacted with them in the episode but here she forms an intense rivalry with Team Phantom when they get her disinherited by her family as punishment after her friend Donovan ropes her into helping him try to sabotage Danny’s relationship with Star out of jealousy and petty self-entitlement.
* Adaptational Wealth: Her family’s financial status was unknown in “Phantom Planet” but here she’s a Blue Blood from an Old Money family.
* Even Evil Has Standards: She’s just as much of an elitist Spoiled Brat as Donovan but isn’t as shallow since she actually has standards when it comes to romantic partners and doesn’t just value looks, status, and wealth as she demonstrates by pointing out in “Theft” that him and Danny are FAR better off without an abusive lunatic like Colette in their lives.
* Hidden Depths: She's a huge snob but unlike Beatrice and Donovan, she values more than just money and status in a romantic partner since she refuses to date the latter for being an obnoxious moron and admit Star and Sam are right to want nothing to do with him.
* A Lighter Shade of Black: Unlike her friends and the A-Listers, she completely refuses to associate with someone as rotten as Colette even for shallow reasons (the events in "Visited" and "Blackmailed" only furthur prove her opinion of the evil French Spoiled Brat was accurate).
* Offended by an Enemy’s Indifference: It’s a serious blow to her ego that Danny rejected her in “Visited” because he’s too repulsed by her Spoiled Brat attitude to be interested in her like other guys are.

Theodore:
* Adaptational Early Appearance: He didn’t have any history with Team Phantom prior to “Phantom Planet” and barely interacted with them in the episode but here he forms an intense rivalry with Team Phantom when they get him disinherited by his family as punishment after his friend Donovan ropes him into helping him try to sabotage Danny’s relationship with Star out of jealousy and petty self-entitlement.
* Adaptational Wealth: His family’s financial status was unknown in “Phantom Planet” but here he’s a Blue Blood from an Old Money family.
* Even Evil Has Standards: He’s just as much of an elitist Spoiled Brat as Donovan but isn’t as shallow since he actually has standards when it comes to romantic partners and doesn’t just value looks, status, and wealth as he demonstrates by pointing out in “Theft” that him and Danny are WAY better off without an unhinged psycho like Colette in their lives.
* Hypocrite Has a Point: Above mentioned hypocrisy aside, he is correct that Donovan never had a chance with Star regardless if she was single or not due to her obvious deep hatred of him and it was clear as day that his plan to team up with Beatrice Traville to try to force her into an Arranged Marriage was doomed to failure from the start so he should just get over her especially since his constant harassment of Star has done nothing but get him into serious trouble.
* Turned Off by the Jerkass: He did find Colette hot in “Blackmailed” despite her unpleasant personality but after her crimes are exposed he’s just as relieved as Vivian in “Theft” that she was put away for good for what she did to Team Phantom.

Masters Blasters:
* Adaptational Early Appearance: They don’t appear until “Phantom Planet” but here they show up before that episode as civilians in “Mistaken” and don’t become the Masters Blasters until “Theft”.
* Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: They had no interaction with Star or Team Phantom prior to “Phantom Planet” and barely associated with them during the episode but here they meet them before the events of the Disasteroid since Donovan has been an Abhorrent Admirer to Star and Sam from the beginning and forms a bitter rivalry with Danny for being a middle-class boy who’s dating the former and ropes his two snobby friends Vivian and Theodore into his feud.
* Adaptational Wealth: It was unknown if they were wealthy in canon but here they’re Blue Bloods that come from Old Money families.
* Arch-Enemy: They (mostly Donovan) consider Team Phantom this for denying Donovan Star (not that Vivian or Theodore ever cared about his pathetic futile obsession with the Strong girl) and getting them disinherited by their families when they exposed their plan to try to break up Star and Danny but they just regard the Spoiled Brats as pathetic nuisances even less worth their time than the Box Ghost.
* Aristocrats Are Evil: They come from wealthy backgrounds and are even bigger stuck-up jerks than the A-Listers ever were.
* Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Theodore is the Blonde, Donovan is the Brunette, and Vivian is the Redhead.
* Blue Blood: All of them come from wealthy families.
* Both Sides Have a Point: In “Theft”, Vivian and Theodore are right that Donovan needs to drop his fixation with Star since it’s only ruining their lives by constantly getting them into trouble and he never had a shot with her anyway since she obviously hates his guts, he reminds them that they only got punished because they chose to help him in his schemes to try to steal Star from Danny for their own petty and self-serving reasons despite knowing from the start that it was a waste of time.
* Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: They prove more adept at ghost fighting than even Vlad expected when he recruits them for the Masters Blasters in “Theft”.
* Do Wrong, Right: They make it clear they don't have a problem with Donovan messing with Team Phantom (mostly because they never cared about his obsession with Star) and are fine with helping him since they enjoy messing with "peasants" for fun and he pays them but after being disinherited by their parents for harassing Star at the country club in "Blackmailed", Vivian and Theodore give up on any plans for revenge on Team Phantom when they realize it's not worth the trouble and repeatedly advise Donovan to do the same thing but to no avail.
* Even Evil Has Standards:
* Unlike Beatrice Traville, Vivian and Theodore have no delusions about Donovan possessing any chance of being with Star and always make it clear that he has no shot with her due to the Strong girl hating him for his annoying personality.
* Except for Donovan, they’re disgusted by Colette’s crimes in “Blackmailed”, including her treatment of Team Phantom, especially Danny for enslaving him, and are glad she’s gone for good after her crime got her arrested.
* Eviler Than Thou: Star found these rich brats too unbearable to put up with even as a Beta Bitch, especially her Abhorrent Admirer Donovan Loadman with his Entitled to Have You attitude towards her. While the A-Listers became completely disgusted with Colette’s psychopathy and creepy fixation with Danny, Vivian and Theodore are merely annoyed with Donovan’s obsession with Star out of pragmatism and self-interest because it keeps getting them into trouble. A bit downplayed with Vivian and Theodore since they’re genuinely revolted by how much of sociopathic nutcase Colette is that they show by acknowledging what she did to Team Phantom, especially Danny, in “Blackmailed” was completely despicable (to the point Theodore totally loses whatever interest he had in the Bevier brat purely for her good looks) which is why they’re glad she was taken away for good for her crimes after her arrest (and Vivian hated her from the beginning for being an utterly rotten to the core Rich Bitch) but the Loadman brat doesn’t care and would’ve married Colette if it meant having a wealthy Trophy Wife.
* Expy: They’re based on the Terrible Trio from Batman: The Animated Series as they share their wealthy backgrounds and elitist natures but they’re teenagers consisting of two boys and a girl like the Terrible Trio from The Batman.
* For the Evulz: They like to mess with “peasants” for mere amusement.
* Gang of Bullies: They’re a bunch of rich jerks who think it’s their right to mess with anyone who isn’t in the same social class as them.
* Hated by All: Nobody can stand them for their entitled attitudes since their families disinherited them for causing trouble and Vlad just wants to use them.
* A Lighter Shade of Black:
* They’re just rotten Spoiled Brats instead of sociopathic wannabe supervillains like Colette (although Donovan is very close to her level). Vivian always hated the Bevier brat for her awful personality and Theodore is glad she’s put away for good after her crimes in “Blackmailed” while Donovan just wants to live a wealthy lifestyle without having to work instead of attempting world domination.
* None of them like Beatrice Traville for her horrible attitude since Donovan only joined forces with her to try to steal Star from Danny and Vivian flat-out calls her a “bitter old bat” that Theodore doesn’t disagree with.
* It Amused Me: They mess with non-rich folks for solely this reason.
* Jerkass: They’re all unpleasant rich brats who think they’re better than everyone and mistreat the lower classes just for fun.
* A Lighter Shade of Black:
* None of them hold a candle to Colette’s level of sociopathy, megalomania, and instability (not even Donovan) since they’re just a bunch of lazy brats who want to live a luxurious lifestyle instead of engaging in supervillainy or trying to take over the world.
* Unlike Jean-Luc and Donovan, Vivian and Theodore are genuinely disgusted by Colette’s sociopathic nature (not that Vivian ever liked her to begin for being a total bitch especially since she started a Cat Fight with her in “Visited” for flirting with Danny) and are glad she’s gone for good after being arrested for what she did to Team Phantom in “Blackmailed”.
* Manchild: They’re all incredibly immature, even for teenagers, because they can’t stand being denied and it fuels their grudge with Team Phantom for not giving into their desires. Donovan just happens to be the worst offender.
* Never My Fault: None of them are capable of taking responsibility for their actions as they’re prone to blaming others and each other for their own mistakes.
* Nice, Mean, and In-Between: None of them are “Nice” since they’re all self-absorbed lazy Spoiled Brats who mess with non-rich people for petty amusement but Theodore is the closest thing since he’s the least antagonistic and does try to quell his friends troublesome antics, Donovan is the “Mean” due to being the most petty and obnoxious who even his snobby friends find unbearable, and Vivian is the “In-Between” as she’s more hot-headed than Theodore but more pragmatic than Donovan.
* Old Money: They’re Blue Bloods that come from rich families.
* Pragmatic Villainy: Vivian and Theodore are getting sick of Donovan’s growing fixation with Star since it keeps landing them into trouble at work and with their families.
* Red Oni, Blue Oni: Vivian and Theodore are the passive and pragmatic Blue Oni to Donovan’s shortsighted and impulsive Red Oni.
* Silver Spoon Troublemaker: They come from Old Money and are enemies with Team Phantom out of petty elitism and self-entitlement.
* Stupid Evil:
* Donovan refuses to leave Team Phantom alone despite even his friends making it clear that petty revenge isn’t worth getting into more trouble.
* Vivian and Theodore knew from the start that Donovan was never going to succeed at stealing Star from Danny because she clearly hates him but helped him anyway in “Visited” for money and to mess with “peasants” for fun which gets all of them disinherited when Reginald Loadman discovers their plan.
* Unknown Rival: They (mainly Donovan) hate Team Phantom with a burning passion because they blame them for getting them disinherited when they tried to sabotage Star and Danny’s relationship so Donovan can steal her, but they just consider the Spoiled Brats pests no more worth their time than the A-Listers or Colette.

Barked:
* Hypocrite Has a Point: While Jean-Luc is the LAST person who should be criticizing anyone’s parenting, he is right that Stella tends to spoil her children rotten (with Colette being a prime example).

Forgotten:
* Gone Horribly Right/Gone Horribly Wrong: Colette wanted to make an amnesiac Danny a more hateful person who would turn against Team Phantom but only manages to make him hate HER.
* Revenge Through Corruption: Colette wants to get back at Team Phantom by turning an amnesiac Danny against them and while she has some success in the beginning, her horrible personality eventually makes him flee from her after deciding she’s only trouble.
* Psychological Projection: Colette wants to turn an amnesiac Danny into an elitist bully much like herself but fails to realize that, memories or not, that will never happen because he’s not a hateful person and ditches her to avoid becoming anything like her.

Bonding:
* Brainless Beauty: During their fight, Johnathan tells Stella it was a mistake to fall for someone with a pretty and an empty head like her.
* Character Development: In this story, Stella makes a sincere effort to be a better parent and person by organizing a dinner party to bond with the Fentons and Johnathan as well as punishing Colette when she catches her misbehaving by sneaking out of the house to try to ruin their dinner party.
* Hypocrisy Callout: Sam calls Colette out for calling her pathetic while she’s the one trying to ruin the dinner party with the Fentons out of some delusional and petty attempt to destroy Star and Danny’s relationship so she can steal him for himself despite him openly disliking her.
* Insane Troll Logic: Colette actually thinks she can destroy Danny’s relationship with Star and steal him from her by sabotaging their dinner party despite him not even liking her.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Star makes it clear to Stella she doesn't want the Beviers at their dinner party with the Fentons and for good reason given their rotten attitudes. The fact Colette infiltrated the dinner party to try to sabotage it only furthur proves Star was right to keep the Beviers away.
* Sam rightfully calls Colette pathetic for trying to sabotage the dinner party with the Fentons out of petty spite for Danny preferring Star over her even though he always hated her and wants nothing to do with her even if he were single.
* Eleanor scolds Stella for being a lousy hostess for wasting time by childishly arguing with Johnathan and kicks out the Mansons from the Platinum Room because they’re not Golden Guild members or guests and were making things worse by picking a fight with the Fentons in an attempt to suck up to Stella.
* Stella punishes Colette by extending her grounding (which includes taking away her fashion buying privileges) and depriving her of her movie privileges for a week for disobeying her by leaving the house to sneak into the country club in an attempt to ruin the dinner party with the Fentons.
* Laser-Guided Karma: Colette’s attempt to ruin Stella’s dinner party with the Fentons not only fails but ends in her being grounded further when caught and developing a phobia of tigers after an encounter with Virgato.
* Pet the Dog:
* Johnathan worries for Pierre’s future after seeing that Stella’s lousy parenting has only worsen Colette’s Spoiled Brat nature.
* After a disastrous third course, Eleanor agrees to give Stella one more chance as a sign of their friendship but threatens to make her and her party leave the country club if they have another incident.
* Properly Paranoid: Star specifically instructs her mother Stella to NOT invite the Beviers (especially Colette) to their dinner party with the Fentons at the country club because she knows they’d just ruin everything and she’s proven correct when Colette sneaks in to try to sabotage the dinner party.
* Pushover Parents: Johnathan and the Fentons call Stella out on her lackluster parenting for enabling Colette’s out of control behavior by spoiling her rotten and barely disciplining her even when she catches her misbehaving by trying to ruin their dinner party at the county club.
* Underestimating Intelligence: Colette never expected Team Phantom to uncover and expose her scheme to try to ruin their dinner party at the country club.
* What Does She See in Him?: Gender-Inverted. During their argument, Johnathan loudly asks what he ever saw in Stella to make him marry her.
* You Are Grounded!: Stella further grounds Colette by extending her grounding (which includes taking away her fashion buying privileges) and taking away her movie privileges for a week for disobeying her by sneaking out of the house to sneak into the country club in an attempt to ruin the dinner party with the Fentons.

Mistaken:
* Abhorrent Admirer:
* Kwan is still this to Star since she doesn’t bother to disagree with Donovan about him being an idiot.
* Even Poindexter tells Ember she’s this to Danny since he clearly doesn’t like her advances, especially as he’s already going out with Star.
* Adaptational Sympathy: Poindexter is shown in a much more tragic light here than in canon since his obsession with punishing bullies has left him bitter and miserable from living in the past during his horrible high school days while his peers have long since moved and seeing them living happy lives motivates him to do the same starting by making peace with the heroes.
* An Aesop: The world is always changing and you need to stop living in the past and accept things as they happen, which Sidney Poindexter learns. Thankfully, it all ends with Poindexter in high spirits since he decides to drop his grudge against Danny and live his afterlife in peace.
* The Atoner: Stacy apparently became this after Poindexter’s death since she created a charity to help victims of bullying.
* Brutal Honesty:
* Both Star and Donovan make it clear Kwan is nothing but a Dumb Jock.
* Even Poindexter informs Ember she doesn’t have a chance with Danny because she keeps making a move on him despite him already dating Star and not appreciating her unwanted advances.
* Clingy Jealous Girl: Ember can't stand Colette for crushing on Danny, especially since she's a FAR more annoying Spoiled Brat than Star ever was.
* Crazy Jealous Guy: Donovan Loadman is very possessive of Star and acts hostile to any guy that's interested in her like her boyfriend Danny, Kwan, or his own friend Theodore.
* Deliberately Bad Example: Donovan was created specifically to be a worse rival that wanted to steal Star from Danny than Kwan since he was becoming increasingly sympathetic.
* Disproportionate Retribution: Star points out Poindexter's feud with Danny is extremely petty at best since Danny never actually did anything to him personally and he has FAR more reason to hate Poindexter than he does the Ghost Boy since, even ignoring the fact he kidnapped his girlfriend, he tried to steal Danny's life by accidentally switching bodies with him just because he put frogs in Dash's pants as revenge for bullying him.
* Driven by Envy:
* Donovan’s obsession with Star is fueled by his jelaousy that she would rather date a Dumb Jock like Kwan and a middle-class dude like Danny over a Blue Blood like himself.
* Poindexter eventually admits to the couple that his resentment of Danny was mostly out of jealousy for being more famous and powerful than he ever was but drops it after making amends with Team Phantom.
* Entitled to Have You: Star calls Sidney Poindexter out on pressing her to date him just because he believes she's the reincarnation of his high school crush Stacy even though she's already with Danny. He drops it in the end after accepting Star is Danny's girlfriend and that she's not really Stacy’s reincarnation.
* Even Evil Has Standards:
* Danny is hesitant to accept Poindexter's help against Skulker but he tells the ghost boy that he doesn't have to trust him just trust the fact that he can't stand bullies like the evil ghost hunter.
* Donovan puts an end to Star and Vivian's bickering because he doesn't want them to start a fight just because his friend insulted Star's boyfriend Danny.
* Everyone Has Standards:
* Danny tries to advocate against revenge but he admits to Ember that the only reason he hasn't gotten back at Poindexter for stealing his body is because he doesn't know where his realm is.
* As much as Danny understandably hates Poindexter for stealing his body once and kidnapping his girlfriend, he prefers to leave the Ghost Zone with Star since he's content with Ember giving the nerdy ghost a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown.
* Evil Is Petty: Donovan is too much of an entitled prick to take rejection from Star and his classism makes him a giant nuisance to the couple since he can’t accept a rich girl like her preferring a middle-class boy like Danny over a Blue Blood like himself.
* Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence: As far as Donovan is concerned, the lower classes are only good for serving the rich so it enrages him that a wealthy girl like Star would rather date the middle-class Danny instead of a Blue Blood like himself.
* Give Geeks a Chance: Vivian does find Danny cute for a “peasant”.
* Good Counterpart: Star became this to her Abhorrent Admirer Donovan Loadman since he has all her negative qualities from her A-Lister Beta Bitch days but NONE of her Character Development or redeeming qualities. Something she even lampshades by noting he's just as much of a jerk to Danny as she was before warming up to him.
* Good Is Not Soft: Star threatens to give Donovan a black eye if he doesn’t leave her and Danny alone at the country club and only holds off of punching out Donovan's teeth when he grabs her arm without permission at the mall because Danny pushes him away before she has the chance.
* I Hate Past Me: Star remarks that her Abhorrent Admirer Donovan acts just as snobby and dimissive of Danny as her Beta Bitch self did in the past.
* Hate at First Sight: Ember immediately despises Colette for being a rude brat that’s interested in Danny.
* Hopeless Suitor:
* Star makes it clear to Donovan that she'll never have anything to do with him and dating Danny gives her a good reason to avoid him even more.
* Star bluntly informs Theodore that she finds him just as repulsive as Dash Baxter and would never date either of them.
* Hypocrisy Callout: Star points out how laughable it is of Poindexter to decalre Danny a bully just for using his ghost powers to get back at regular human bullies since that's literally the nerdy ghost’s MO.
* Hypocrite: Star is a former case since she always hated Donovan Loadman for being an annoying snob even though she (admittedly) wasn't much better when she was a Beta Bitch in the A-Listers.
* Insufferable Imbecile: Literally the ONLY thing Star has ever agreed with Donovan Loadman on is that Kwan is a total moron.
* Irony: Stacy Morgan was an Alpha Bitch at Poindexter’s school but as an adult she began a charity to help bullying victims.
* It Amused Me: Ember admits to Danny that she didn't tell him sooner that Poindexter kidnapped Star because she doesn't care about his girlfriend and she enjoys having him all to herself.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Star points out to Poindexter that taking her to his realm while she’s passed out is kidnapping and her boyfriend Danny will be rightfully pissed at him for doing so.
* In the end, even Poindexter can't dispute that Danny is justified in not trusting him or even accepting his apology after everything he's done.
* Karmic Butt-Monkey: Donovan is repeatedly rejected by Star and gets humiliated by Poindexter when he pantses him at the mall for harassing her and Danny.
* A Lighter Shade of Black:
* Star admits to Danny that she always hated going to the country club because of Donovan and his snobby friends Vivian and Theodore since they’re just like the A-Listers only older and have better connections but Donovan Loadman is as much of an annoying Spoiled Brat as Colette plus his Entitled to Have You and Not Good with Rejection attitude make him a FAR worse Abhorrent Admirer to her than Dash and Kwan combined.
* Sidney Poindexter proves to be this to Donovan Loadman by accepting in the end that Star is Danny's boyfriend and making peace with the couple after apologizng to them. He also gets back the Loadman brat for harassing the couple at the mall by pulling his pants down to expose his Goofy Print Underwear and dumping smoothies on his and his snobby friends heads so everyone laughs at them.
* Both Danny and Star reluctantly admit that Ember has more class than Colette, who can't stand her either for being an irritating Spoiled Brat.
* Miles Gloriosus: Ember never bought Poindexter's claims of beating Danny since she knows he's not a strong fighter and Danny admits she's correct by revealing he pretended to lose to get his classmates to respect him.
* Misplaced Retribution: Star points out Poindexter is hardly a hero since Danny never really did anything to him personally but he tried to steal his life by accidentally hijacking his body after he pranked Dash by putting frogs in his pants. Poindexter eventually admits he’s just jealous of Danny’s fame and strength but gets over it in the end after making peace with Team Phantom.
* Must Make Amends: Poindexter makes it up to Star and Danny in the end for all the trouble he caused them by making peace with the couple by sincerely apologizing then helping them deal with Skulker and Donovan Loadman plus his snobby friends.
* No Sense of Personal Space: Star only refrains from knocking out Donovan's teeth when he grabs her arm without permission at the mall because Danny pushes him away before she has a chance.
* "Not So Different" Remark:
* Star finds her Abhorrent Admirer Donovan as stuck-up and unpleasant as herself from her Beta Bitch days.
* Star tells Danny she rarely enjoyed her visits to the country club in the past because of her Abhorrent Admirer Donovan Loadman and his snobby friends who are just like the A-Listers but older and better connected.
* Pet the Dog: Ember makes Colette leave Star and Danny alone at the dance by annoucing as the DJ that it's time for couples to dance so every dateless nerd there tries to dance with her until she leaves out of frustration.
* Pervert Revenge Mode: Star is only prevented from punching out Donovan's teeth when he grabs her arm without permission at the mall because Danny pushes him away before she has a chance.
* Save the Villain: Danny recuses Poindexter during the fight against Skulker which prompts a Heel-Face Turn from him where he helps the heroes and Ember defeat the evil ghost hunter.
* Screw This, I'm Outta Here!:
* To prevent Danny from getting into trouble at the country club by starting a fight with his Abhorrent Admirer Donovan for harassing them, Star snaps and angrily warns Donovan to stay away from them since she'll never have anything to do with annoying Spoiled Brat like him then drags Danny out of the country club to get away from Donovan and his snobby friends.
* Donovan, Theodore, and Vivian flee from the mall in disgrace after Poindexter humilates them for harassing Star and Danny by dropping smoothies on their heads (and pantsing Donovan), which causes everyone to laugh at them.
* Shadow Archetype: Donovan Loadman is essentially who Sidney Poindexter would be like if he didn't overcome his petty grudge with Danny and unhealthy interest in Star; an obnoxious creep that's intensely hated by the couple.
* Shallow Cannot Comprehend True Love: Rich snobs Donovan, Vivian, and Theodore are completely baffled that Star prefers to date an average middle-class guy like Danny.
* Sympathetic Villain, Despicable Villain: Sidney Poindexter is just an Anti-Villain obsessed with punishing bullies that becomes an ally of Team Phantom in the end while Donovan is a Rich Bastard who’s even more unpleasant than the entire A-List put together and quickly becomes as big a nuisance to Team Phantom as Colette.
* Took a Level in Kindness: Stacy dropped her Alpha Bitch attitude after Poindexter’s death and grew up to start a charity drive for bullying victims after high school.
* Villain Has a Point: Ember was always skeptical about Poindexter's claims of beating Danny since she knows the nerdy ghost isn't that powerful and she's proven right when Danny admits he took a dive in their fight so he’d get his classmates to respect him.
* Villain Respect: Ember never believed Poindexter's claims of beating Danny in a fight and isn't surprised when the ghost boy admits to taking a dive.
* Violently Protective Girlfriend: Danny is a downplayed gender-inverted example towards Star since he's at least willing to push her Abhorrent Admirer Donovan away when he grabs her arm without permission while they’re at the mall.
* Wealth’s in a Name: Donovan comes from a rich family and his last name is “LOADman”.
* Women Are Wiser: Star prevents Danny from getting into trouble at the country club by starting a fight with her Abhorrent Admirer Donovan when he harasses them by angrily telling the Loadman brat off and then dragging Danny away until they're out of the country club.

Visited:
* At Least I Admit It: Donovan confesses to Star at the country club that he wants them to be together because they both come from rich, esteemed Blue Blood families and her beauty would make her an ideal Trophy Wife who can provide him heirs someday, this just makes Star even more revolted by him for obsessing over stealing her from her loving boyfriend Danny for his own shallow, greedy, and self-serving reasons.
* Better Partner Assertion: Star is completely unimpressed with Donovan and Beatrice's arguments that the former is a better suitor for her than Danny solely for being a rich Blue Bloode since she makes it clear Tucker is far better boyfriend material than the Loadman brat.
* Blaming the Victim: Everyone is disgusted and Star is enraged when her grandmother Beatrice orders her to apologize to Donovan Loadman for hitting him as retaliation for giving her a Forceful Kiss and hitting her for rejecting him again as well as to go out with him along with demanding Eleanor throw out Danny for punching out Donovan’s teeth for harassing Star. This callous display of selfishness and Lack of Empathy only convinces everyone that Beatrice is an irredeemable harpy who only cares about her own advancement in high society at the expense of even her own family with Star getting a restraining order against both of them to finally get them to leave her alone for good along with Stella and Richard finally standing up to Beatrice after being Extreme Doormats to her for decades after accepting she’s crossed the line by trying to force their relative into an abusive relationship so Stella cuts all ties with her mother to protect her family from her toxic influence and Richard stops tolerating her awful behavior so she won’t keep ruining their descendants lives.
* Dumbass Has a Point:
* While futilely trying to convince Beatrice to give up her plans of an Arranged Marriage between Star and Donovan Loadman, Stella points out Danny has been a great boyfriend since Star's been so much happier by dating him and that the Loadman brat is the WORST possible boy you could pair Star with as she's always hated him for his obnoxious personality especially because he’s repeatedly proven to be unworthy of her time to the point Stella never liked him even before learning how unstable he really is.
* Theodore tries to half-heartedly persuade Donovan to give up on Star who clearly can't stand him and go after other girls like the ones at the countey club.
* Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Neither Donovan nor Beatrice can understand that Star refuses to associate with the former because she’s too repulsed by his Abhorrent Admirer Rich Bastard personality to care about his family’s wealth or status and stays with Danny out of genuine love for him due to his loyal Nice Guy nature.
* Hidden Depths: Despite being bitter over the divorce, Alicia holds a mature view of relationships and values consent since she points out to Star’s family that nobody can force her to be with anyone, especially not Beatrice just because she’s her grandmother.
* Hypocrite:
* Beatrice incessantly demands Star to give Donovan a chance despite her being revolted to no end by his extremely toxic personality but she won’t even consider giving Star’s actual boyfriend Danny a chance because of his middle-class status despite even Stella acknowledging that the Loadman brat was never worth Star’s time for being an obnoxious jerk and that she’s been much happier with Danny.
* For all of Beatrice’s stubborn claims that Donovan would make a better match for Star than Danny it’s obvious to everyone she doesn’t care in the slightest about her granddaughter’s happiness/well-being or if they’re compatible when she orders Star to go out with Donovan after he hit and gave her a Forceful Kiss when she rejected him yet again since all that matters to her is the benefits she gets from Star having a wealthy Blue Blood husband regardless of how much of an abusive Jerkass he is.
* Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance: Even Donovan’s snobby friends Vivian and Theodore can see he’s delusional for thinking he has any chance with Star since she’s made it very clear she hates him too much to ever have anything to do with him regardless of Danny’s presence in her life so all he’s accomplishing by interfering in their relationship is wasting his time making a total fool of himself by going after a girl he has zero chance with and further fueling Star’s hatred towards him.
* Insane Troll Logic: As far as Donovan is concerned Star should be with him because they both come from rich, esteemed families and her beauty would make her an ideal Trophy Wife to give him children but this just makes her find him even more gross and repulsive for obsessing over stealing another guy’s girlfriend who blatantly hates his guts that he admits to not even loving over extremely shallow and self-serving reasons especially since his fragile ego clearly can’t stand the fact that she vastly prefers to date a middle-class Nice Guy like Danny over an annoying Blue Blood Spoiled Brat like himself.
* No Sympathy: Everyone reaches their limit with Beatrice’s callousness after she orders Star to go out with Donovan despite him attacking her so after the ghost bat’s attack on the country club is over Star’s parents get restraining orders against her and the Loadman brat, Star permanently disowns her, Danny uses his ghost powers to scare her into staying out of Star’s life for good, and Richard promises to stop being an Extreme Doormat so Beatrice can’t keep ruining the lives of their family members and their loved ones with her sociopathic elitist attitude.
* Pet the Dog: Star makes it crystal clear that Tucker and even Sidney Poindexter are FAR better boyfriend material than her Abhorrent Admirer Donovan Loadman will ever be (not that she wants them to know this).
* Politically Incorrect Villain: Everyone call Donovan and Beatrice out on thinking its ok to force Star into an Arranged Marriage with the former just for being a Blue Blood as if it's the Dark Ages and get restraining orders against them in the end when they turn abusive.
* Properly Paranoid: Stella is growing increasingly frustrated with Colette's problematic behavior to the point she makes sure Colette doesn't find out about the picnic her, Richard, Star, and Danny are having in the end because she knows Colette would just try to ruin it.
* Reasonable Authority Figure: Eleanor has no patience for horrible snobs like Beatrice Traville and Donovan Loadman since she refuses to listen to any of the former’s unreasonable demands and kicks the latter out of her country club for harassing Star.
* Right for the Wrong Reasons: Colette is right that it's unacceptable for Vivian to flirt with Danny at the country club even if she's only saying it out of possessiveness and jealousy towards the Fenton boy rather than because he's already dating Star and he doesn't like Vivian anyway for being a total snob who’s friends with Star’s Abhorrent Admirer Donovan, plus she doesn't know or care that Vivian is only flirting with him as part of a ploy by Donovan to try to break him and Star up by capturing proof of him cheating on Star because the Loadman brat is delusional enough to think getting rid of Danny will give him a chance with Star.
* Smarter Than You Look: Even Donovan’s friends Theodore and Vivian know he has zero chance with Star due to her obvious deep hatred of him for his extremely annoying personality which they make clear by telling him he’s completely wasting his time trying to ruin her relationship with Danny and should date other girls since she won’t go out with him whether or not the Fenton boy is in the picture.
* Stupid Good: Johanthan points out to Stella that her plan to try to get Beatrice to approve of Danny by turning him into the perfect upper-class gentleman to save their relationship is well-intentioned but grossly naive at best since he's painfully aware that Beatrice is too stubborn to changer her mind about anything and will never approve of Danny for not being a Blue Blood. Subverted in the end when Stella realizes Beatrice only cares about her own standing in high society and gets a restraining order against her to protect Star from her toxic influence.
* Taught by Experience: Colette’s increasingly troublesome behavior and attempt to sabotage Stella's dinner party with the Fentons in "Bonding" causes Stella to not even bother telling her stepdaughter that her, Danny, Star, and Richard are going on a picnic to keep Colette from interfering.
* Throw the Dog a Bone: Stella's plan to get Danny to impress the Travilles at the country club was a partial success since he did manage to win over Richard enough for him to defend Danny and Star's relationship against Beatrice and Donovan when Danny protected his granddaughter from the Loadman brat and ghost bat.
* Where Did We Go Wrong?: Stella wishes Colette would stop acting like a huge brat who constantly antagonizes Star and questions why she can't get along with her stepsister.

Lost:
* Berserk Button: Box Ghost still doesn’t like being mistaken for a caterer or a shoe salesman.
* Continuity Nod: Upon meeting Box Ghost and Youngblood, Star brings up the time the former was handing out free shoes at the mall where he gave her high heels that pinched her feet in “Boxed Up Fury” and the time the latter kidnapped all the adults in Amity Park with Ember McLain’s help in “Pirate Radio”.
* Hypocrite: Considering Jean-Luc is a womanizing Slimeball who hits on any attractive lady he meets despite already being married and Stella is a Brainless Beauty Upper-Class Twit Womanchild who left her Nice Guy husband Johnathan for the elitist Rich Bastard Jean-Luc who clearly only regards her as an easily replaceable Trophy Wife at best, neither of them are in any position to question Star’s taste in romantic partners for falling for the middle-class Nice Guy Danny Fenton.
* Jerkass Has a Point: Considering Danny doesn’t know Colette and has heard very unflattering stories about her from Star (who he trusts completely as his friend) it’s no surprise that he doesn’t like her during their first meeting with her bratty attitude, incessant bullying of Star, and utter disregard for his personal space (to the point of giving him a Forceful Kiss) certainly not improving his opinion of her.

Theft:
* All for Nothing: Stella sadly laments during Colette’s trial that raising her all these years was pointless because she only saw her as a means to an end at best and her overindulgence of the Spoiled Brat enabled her worst qualities until she learned too late how much of a monster her stepdaughter was turning into.
* Both Sides Have a Point: While Vivian and Theodore are right that Donovan’s unhealthy obsession with Star has caused them nothing but trouble (especially since he still keeps harassing her despite the restraining order and everyone’s growing disgust toward his despicable behavior), he counters that they only got punished because they CHOSE to help him harass Star and Danny (and for what they openly acknowledge are admittedly extremely petty reasons like money and the chance to mess with “peasants” for fun) despite them being well aware from the start that he was always going to fail at stealing Star from Danny due to her obvious hatred of him so they only have themselves to blame for getting disinherited.
* Cassandra Truth: Stella doesn’t believe Pierre when he claims that Star is Starlight Spirit when they look at a toy of her ghost-self.
* Cruel to Be Kind: Subverted with Donovan who stubbornly insists that his horrendous treatment of Star was to ensure she become a “proper aristocrat” by ending up with a Blue Blood like himself as her husband but nobody buys it since even his friends Vivian and Theodore know he only did it because he’s too much of an Entitled Bastard to accept rejection (especially from a wealthy girl who vastly prefers her middle-class boyfriend Danny over a rich Jerkass like Donovan) and is too much of a greedy Gold Digger to give up on getting a wealthy Trophy Wife.
* Disappointed by the Motive: A rare villain example with Donovan's friends as while they've never cared about Donovan's obsession with Star (partly because they rightfully see it as a complete waste of time due to her obvious deep hatred of him), they're even less impressed when he admits he's jealous of Danny for being FAR more popular with females than he ever was since rich girls like Star, Sam, and Colette prefer the middle-class Danny over a Blue Blood like himself since he keeps getting them in trouble by refusing to quit harassing Team Phantom and they point out it's his own fault he can't get a date due to fixating on girls that hate him out of stubborn pride as he’s Not Good with Rejection rather than seeking out girls who actually would date him even if solely for his family's wealth.
* Dramatic Irony: When Pierre recognizes Danny after seeing a Danny Phantom toy Stella thinks he’s only referring to Danny’s ghost-self since, unlike him, she doesn’t know Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom are the same person.
* Excellent Judge of Character: Vivian loudly calls Beatrice Traville a “bitter old bat” and points out to her friends that unlike them she NEVER wanted anything to do with someone as unbearably horrible as Colette even for shallow reasons and that was before she was arrested in “Blackmailed”.
* Hypocrite: The A-Listers are mad at Dash for letting the Rich Bitch Colette into their group but they were just as welcoming of her at least until they realized she was too awful even by their standards.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Stella admits during Colette's trial that it was a huge mistake to disregard everyone's valid complaints about her stepdaughter's worsening behavior and all the trouble she kept causing around Amity Park.
* When Theodore furiously sprays Vivian and Donovan with soda from the machine during their food fight at their Nasty Burger job, the former angrily tells him that it better be diet only for the latter to incredulously point out that it shouldn't matter since she's wearing the soda instead of drinking it.
* The school board punish superintendent Baxter and most of Casper High’s staff for their incompetence and unprofessional conduct when Colette framed Team Phantom in “Blackmailed” because they failed to follow proper procedure by not telling the police or informing them on Colette’s fake evidence since they sought to just throw them out.
* Coach Tetslaff is justifiably mad at Colette for wrecking her car and blaming it on Team Phantom so she testifies against her in court regardless of her father’s charitable donation.
* Vivian is right to be wary about Vlad’s job offer since it is suspicious that he’d want to employ three random teenagers like her, Theodore, and Donovan.
* Kid Has a Point: Stella does agree with Pierre that Starlight Spirit resembles Star since they both have blonde hair.
* Laser-Guided Karma: Stella is satisfied that Johnathan is suing superintendent Baxter and the staff of Casper High for trying to unjustly expel Team Phantom when Colette framed them in “Blackmailed” because they dismissed them as “problem children” based on extremely flimsy evidence that was sent to them unanimously.
* Late to the Realization: Stella acknowledges in court that if she hadn’t brushed off everyone’s valid criticisms about Colette’s rotten behavior and the trouble she kept causing around town then she would’ve realized sooner how much of a problem she was becoming.
* Love Makes You Dumb: Stella tearfully admits during Colette’s trial that her motherly affection for the rotten Spoiled Brat blinded her to her obvious flaws and increasingly troublesome behavior until she realized too late how unstable she is.
* Meaningless Villain Victory: Discussed as Theodore and Vivian make it clear to Donovan that Star wouldn’t have anything to do with him regardless of Danny’s presence in her life since she completely hates him so even if he did succeed in breaking them up in “Visited” all it would accomplish is making them hate him even more than they already do and leaving Star free to date another boy whose not Donovan.
* Moral Myopia:
* As far as the Beviers are concerned, it’s unacceptable for Danny to slander them by telling the court of their horrible behavior but it’s ok for them to drag his name through the dirt by blaming all of Colette’s despicable actions on him just to save their own reputations.
* Dash is mad at Star for kicking him out of her birthday party and Kwan for turning his back on him in “Blackmailed” even though he’s been a Fair-Weather Friend to them at best who she never invited or wanted at her party in the first place and they ditched him after finally having enough of his dimwitted Jerk Jock attitude.
* Never My Fault: Theodore blames Donovan for him being single since he got him disinherited and his five girlfriends dumped him after they found out about each other.
* Nemesis Magnet: Everyone Colette has wronged testifies against her in court; especially Team Phantom, Misty, Valerie, Kwan, Suzette, and Ms. Tetslaff.
* Obliviously Evil: Even Theodore calls Donovan out for thinking it’s ok to force a girl into an Arranged Marriage as if it’s still the Dark Ages.
* Obviously Evil: Vivian points out to her friends that it was obvious from the beginning that Colette was nothing but an unhinged lunatic given her repulsive attitude especially when she started a Cat Fight with her in “Visited” just for flirting with Danny.
* Pet the Dog:
* Danny likes to entertain Pierre by performing tricks for him as Danny Phantom.
* While a futile gesture, Vivian at least tries to get herself and Theodore out of trouble with their boss Mr. McDowell at Nasty Burger by pining all the blame for their food fight on Donovan (which is valid since he did start it).
* Playing the Victim Card: Even Donovan’s friends point out how completely pathetic he is for using Star's constant rejections as an excuse to harass her since he openly has no genuine feelings for her and only fixates over her because he's too prideful to accept rejection especially from a rich girl and too stubborn to give up despite them repeatedly pointing out he can just find another girl to date, preferably someone actually interested in him like a Gold Digger.
* Pretender Diss: Vlad considers Colette a pathetic excuse for a villain because she wasn’t smart enough to avoid getting caught while carrying out her blackmailing scheme against Team Phantom.
* Right for the Wrong Reasons: Vlad is correct that Colette deserves to be punished for her blackmailing scheme, even if he is only saying it because he’s utterly unimpressed by her incompetence at attempted villainy for failing by letting herself get caught.
* Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: Coach Tetslaff testifies against Colette in court because she’s rightfully furious at the evil Spoiled Brat for trashing her car and framing Team Phantom for it which no amount of charitable donations from her dad can change.
* Selective Obliviousness: Stella admits she’s guilty of this when she learns during Colette’s trial how clueless she was about her stepdaughter’s cruel nature after listening to everyone she wronged testify about how she mistreated them especially since she ignored everybody’s valid complaints about her worsening erratic behavior.
* Skewed Priorities: Donovan is exasperated that Vivian is actually concerned if the soda he sprayed her with during their food fight is diet or not which makes him angrily remind her that she’s wearing it and not drinking it.
* Smug Snake: Vivian and Theodore call Donovan out for being delusional enough to think he would have any chance with Star by removing Danny from the picture since she wouldn’t associate with him in the past even when she was single.
* Throw the Dog a Bone: Team Phantom and the other jocks still hang out with Kwan after he quit the A-Listers with the latter even refusing to kick him off the football team at Dash’s request because of his skills and they’re mad at Dash for bringing an unstable Alpha Bitch like Colette into their clique.
* The Unapologetic: Danny and Star spell it out to the court that Colette is nothing but a complete sociopath incapable of feeling anything resembling guilt or remorse, especially since she actually revels in her own cruelty due to taking pride in being such a horrible excuse for a human being.
* Unluckily Lucky: Theodore was attracted to Colette in “Blackmailed” despite her unpleasant behavior but is relieved she’s gone for good when she got arrested after finding out about her crimes since he doesn’t want anything to do with somebody THAT unhinged, sociopathic, and obsessive.
* Wise Beyond Her Years: Even as a child Sam hated the Spoiled Brats from the other rich families that her snobby parents constantly pressured her into trying to befriend and would rather hang out with Team Phantom for being True Companions.

Court:
* Being Evil Sucks: Johnathan makes it clear to Vlad that he’s pitiful at best because becoming a supervillain hasn’t gotten him any closer to being with Maddie and he’s still far more miserable and lonely than Jack.
* Brutal Honesty:
* Pamela makes it clear to her husband Jeremy she'd rather team up with Sam and Ida than him for the tennis tournament since they're actually athletic.
* Danny tells Johnny 13 in court that it was a mistake for him not to let his parents hit him when they first met because they were right all along about him being nothing but bad news.
* Entitled Bastard: Stella and Maddie are disgusted that the Mansons think they’re entitled to Sam’s love and respect without actually earning it just because they’re her parents.
* Even Evil Has Standards: Spectra rightfully regards Stella as a pathetic Brainless Beauty Trophy Wife whose too incompetent to be a parent given her obvious failure to handle her out-of-control Spoiled Brat stepdaughter Colette (who horrifies even Spectra with her sheer sociopathic behavior) and falling for the Slimeball rich idiot Jean-Luc Bevier (that clearly doesn’t love her) who even a Gold Digger like Spectra doesn’t want anything to do with.
* Everyone Has Standards: Stella might be competitive but she makes it clear to Eleanor she wouldn't pick Pamela Manson to be her partner in the tennis contest even if she were the best player in the world.
* Excellent Judge of Character: Danny admits his parents were right from the start about Johnny 13 being nothing but trouble and that it was mistake on his part not to let them hit him.
* Friendship Bribe: It disgusts Maddie and Stella that the Mansons are such Control Freaks that they’d actually pay Sam’s classmates to hang out with her just because they meet their snobby standards so she’ll stop being friends with Tucker and Danny.
* Green-Eyed Monster: Pamela is competing in the tennis tournament with Virginia because she can’t stand that Stella chose Maddie to be her tennis partner instead of her.
* Hate at First Sight: Danny makes it clear in court that the Fentons never liked Johnny 13 even before they found out he was a ghost because he was a punk who went after Jazz.
* Hatred Makes You Dumb: Johnathan points out to Vlad that his fixation with getting back at Jack is only making his family hate him, including Maddie who doesn't like him even as a friend anymore after seeing what a creep he is.
* His Own Worse Enemy: Johnathan makes it clear to Vlad that his grudge with Jack and inability to leave college behind has only turned him into a bitter Maddie-obsessed jerk that’s worse off then he’s ever been.
* It’s All About Me: Stella and Maddie find it pathetic that the Mansons want to mold Sam into a snobby Upper-Class Twit like themselves just for the purpose of social climbing and not for their daughter’s sake.
* Not Helping Your Case: Pamela’s immaturity and obsession with social climbing are not endearing her to Stella or Eleanor since they both just find her extremely annoying and pathetically childish, the rest of the country club shares their opinion since they’re very disgusted by Pamela’s embarrassing public tantrum after she loses the tennis tournament to Maddie and Stella.
* Properly Paranoid: Danny acknowledges his parents were right all along about Johnny 13 being nothing but a troublesome punk and wishes he let them hit him.
* Villain Has a Point: Spectra is correct that Johnathan deserves a lot better than Stella who is an Upper-Class Twit Womanchild that left him for the Rich Bastard Jean-Luc Bevier and his Nice Girl girlfriend Solene is living proof that she’s right that he can do a lot better.

Cursed:
* Abhorrent Admirer: Even the Ghost Writer knows Colette is this towards Danny since he can’t think of a single reason why the ghost boy would ever date someone as irredeemably rotten as her.
* Ain’t Too Proud to Beg: Kwan futilely tries to convince Star to rejoin the A-List because he's miserable from being stuck with jerks like Dash, Paulina, and Colette (who's increasingly creepy obsession with Danny is disturbing him to no end).
* All for Nothing: Colette and Paulina's plan to try to breakup Star and Danny with a fake love letter not only (predictably) fails but gets them both grounded by their families. Even if it did work Danny would've just wanted even less to do with Colette for ruining his relationship with Star out of sheer pettiness.
* Attempted Homewrecker:
* Star angrily informs Kwan that Colette's fake love letter is just another underhanded attempt by her stepsister to sabotage her relationship with Danny.
* Deconstructed with Kwan as Star doesn't appreciate his attempts to steal her from Danny especially since it took dumping him and leaving the A-Listers permanently for him to actually care about wanting her back.
* Being Evil Sucks: Well, "Jerkass" but this applies to Star and Kwan since she tells him they were both miserable as A-Listers because since they only bullied people out of peer-pressure and don't even like the popular kids for being lousy friends, which is why she will never rejoin them after befriending Danny made her realize that status isn't worth being a jerk to people especially if doesn't make you happy.
* Berserk Button: The Ghost Writer hates being mistaken for Stephen King, which he informs Star about.
* Bickering Couple, Peaceful Couple: Star refuses to ever get back together with Kwan because they constantly fought due to his unfaithfulness, which is a problem Danny doesn't have due to his Undying Loyalty towards her.
* Both Sides Have a Point: Danny is understandbly mad at Team Phantom for not telling him earlier about Paulina and Colette's scheme to try to break him and Star up with a phony love letter but they tell him they were too busy dealing with the Ghost Writer to remember to tell him.
* Dirty Coward:
* The Ghost Writer mocks Colette for being far less brave than Star by running away from him like a chicken.
* Star points out to Kwan that he is the last person who should call anyone a coward, especially Danny, since he and the other jocks runaway scared when dealing with ghosts and he can't even stand up to the A-Listers for her or his own sake no matter how much he misses her or is miserable from being stuck with them due to his fear of being kicked out by the popular kids and becoming an outcast.
* Disproportionate Retribution: Star calls Kwan out for wanting to beat up Danny because he thought the Fenton boy was cheating on her with Colette solely due to a fake love letter made by that Spoiled Brat.
* Dumbass Has a Point:
* Kwan is briefly puzzled by the fake love letter Paulina sent him that looks like it was made by Danny for Colette since he's noticed that the Fenton boy is the only guy at school who never showed interest in her.
* Kwan isn't wrong that Team Phantom have their fair share of flaws and Sam doesn’t like Star but Star counters that, unlike the A-Listers, they actually possess redeeming qualities such as being True Companions.
* Kwan is right that nobody but Sam liked the vegan menu she had the school serve.
* Entitled Bastard: Star calls Kwan out for thinking that their dating history gives him any right to meddle in her relationship with Danny or that she’d want to get back together with him for trying to beat up Danny just because he thinks the Fenton boy is cheating on her with Colette due to a fake love letter she made.
* Even Bullies Have Standards:
* Star points out to Kwan that even when she was an A-Lister she hated the changes Sam made to the lunch menu just like everyone else but didn't use it as an excuse to hurt anyone like Dash did with Danny as she just had Georgia pack her a lunch from home.
* Colette’s increasingly rotten behavior and creepy obsession with Danny is making Kwan avoid her whenever possible.
* Everyone Has Standards: Paulina’s dad admits that while he doesn’t like Danny he does not approve of her helping Colette try to sabotage his relationship with Star by extremely underhanded means and punishes her for it.
* Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: It never occurred to Colette that Star and Danny’s relationship is too strong for her to destroy with just doctored photos and a phony love letter with his signature to make it look like he’s in love with Colette or that they would be smart enough to quickly catch on to her scheme.
* Excellent Judge of Character: Star bluntly tells Kwan he proved her father Johnathan was right to disapprove of him from the beginning by being a lousy boyfriend.
* Fury-Fueled Foolishness: Star points out to Kwan it is not ok for him to try to beat up Danny just because he thinks the Fenton boy is cheating on her with Colette due to his sole proof being a fake love letter made by that Manipulative Bitch, especially since it proves to her that he’s still the same Dumb Jock bully looking for flimsy reasons to be a jerk that he was when they first broke up and she has become completely disgusted by the A-Listers bullying.
* Good Is Not Dumb: Team Phantom quickly figure out that Colette's love letter is a fake since Sam recognizes it's in Paulina's handwriting and Danny realizes they got his signature when they tricked him into signing what they told him was a petition.
* I Hate Past Me: Star admits to Kwan that her old self was a fool for hanging out with terrible people like the A-Listers merely for the sake of status since it only brought her misery and made her a Beta Bitch no better than her hated stepsister Colette.
* Hated by All: Star informs Kwan that the A-Listers aren't cool or popular at all and everyone hates them for being a bunch of spoiled bullies who think they’re above the rules, including her since they were horrible friends and Colette is an irredeemable Alpha Bitch.
* Hidden Disdain Reveal: Star points out to Kwan that neither of them ever liked the A-Listers and only hung out with them for the sake of popularity, the fact he can't think of a singlw redeeming quality for them anymore than she could and is begging her to rejoin because he's miserable with the snobby cool kids only proves her points.
* High-School Rejects: Star makes it very clear to Kwan she's totally done hanging out with him and the A-Listers, especially Dash for being "a creep and a thug who will never amount to anything after high school".
* Horrible Judge of Character: Kwan is very much this much to Star’s exasperation:
* Star makes it clear to Kwan that if he actually knew anything about her and Danny then he’d realize that Danny would never cheat on her and especially not with his most hated Abhorrent Admirer Colette of all people who he despises as much as Star does along with her not appreciating Kwan interfering in her personal life since her relationships are none of his business and is still acting like the same meatheaded Dumb Jock he was when they broke up by trying to beat up her boyfriend all because he was easily deceived by a fake love letter made by Colette. Plus, he fails to understand she left the A-Listers for a reason because she figured out they’re just selfish jerks who don’t care about her or even him and them welcoming Colette into their group just made her want even less to do with them since she hates Colette with a burning passion so he was delusional for ever thinking he could convince her to rejoin them since any group that associates with someone as blatantly rotten as her stepsister clearly isn't worth joining.
* Star is disappointed but not surprised that Kwan is still naive enough to fall for Colette’s tricks when he’s doped by a phony love letter she created that made it look like Danny was cheating on Star with her since Star knows better than anyone how manipulative, deceitful, and untrustworthy her Spoiled Brat of a stepsister is.
* Hypocrisy Callout: Star tells Kwan he doesn't have much room to criticize Danny's friends since they're True Companions despite their faults while Kwan only hangs out with the A-Listers for the sake of status and doesn't even like them as he can't think of one nice thing about them and is reduced to begging Star to rejoin the popular kids so he isn't miserable from being around jerks like Paulina, Dash, and especially an increasingly unstable Colette.
* Idiot Ball: Danny lampshades that it was dumb of him to give his signature to Paulina just because she said it was for a petition after he finds out about Colette's phone love letter scheme since he should know better than anyone that a snob like Paulina wouldn't talk to him unless she had an ulterior motive.
* Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance: Star calls Kwan out on knowing so little about her and Danny that he would believe that the Fenton boy would ever cheat on her and his most hated Abhorrent Admirer Colette is the last person he’d ever have anything to do with just because of a fake love letter the evil phony redhead made or that Star would go out with him again and go back to the A-Listers, especially when they proved to be terrible friends, for trying to beat up her boyfriend like some meatheaded thug just because he thought Danny was two-timing her with Colette since he did the exact thing when he went out with Star.
* Insane Troll Logic:
* Kwan actually thought he could convince Star to take him back and rejoin the A-Listers by trying to beat up her boyfriend Danny for supposedly cheating on her with Colette just because he was fooled into thinking that due to a fake love letter the Bevier brat made as an attempt to break them up, while not bothering to consider that they broke up in the first place because he was a meatheaded Dumb Jock jerk who was a very lousy boyfriend to her and she cut ties with the A-Listers because they were terrible friends, plus including Colette into their clique made her want even less to do with them since Star absolutely despises her for obsessively trying to steal her boyfriend Danny with the A-Listers help and being a horrible Alpha Bitch who’s MUCH worse than the entire A-List put together.
* Star sarcastically asks Kwan if he thinks Danny can fly since that's the only way he could've gotten off Youngblood's ship when it's a hundred feet in the air if he had abandoned them like the A-Listers said (of course they won't tell Kwan that Danny can fly).
* Internal Reveal:
* Kwan didn't know Dany was tossed off Youngblood's pirate ship or got grounded for the party the A-Listers held at his house without his knowledge until Star tells him.
* Star reveals to Kwan her dad Jonthathan never liked him for being a bad influence on her and that her mom Stella lost whatever positive opinion she had of him after learning what a lousy boyfriend he was.
* Irony: Star lampshades that Kwan doesn't know Danny can fly when she sarcastically asks him if he thinks Danny can do that since that's the only way he could've gotten off the pirate ship if he had actually ditched them like the A-Listers said.
* I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Star tells Kwan that if he truly loves her then he'd do the mature thing by staying out of her business and just be glad she's happy with Danny.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Mia, Paige, and Ashley mock Colette for thinking she has any chance with Danny even if Star was gone since he hates her as much as they do.
* Colette and Paulina mock each other for not realizing their respective crush (Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom, respectively) dislike them too much to associate with them if they were single.
* The Beviers and Sanchezs punish Colette and Paulina for trying to destroy Danny and Star's relationship with a fake love letter.
* Star points out to Kwan that the A-Listers aren't their friends since they treat them like lackies at bet and he doesn't even like them because he only hangs with them for the sake of status, he can't think of a single good quality about them, and he’s completely miserable hanging out with jerks like Dash, Paulina, and especially Colette since her worsening erratic behavior disturbs him to no end.
* Even ignoring her unpleasant history with the popular kids, Star is right to refuse to rejoin the A-Listers since any group that welcomes someone as horrible as her stepsister Colette as a member is clearly nothing but a trouble, the fact that even Kwan is becoming creeped out by Colette's worsening erratic behavior and disturbing obsession with her boyfriend Danny only furthur proves Star's point.
* Star informs Kwan her father Johnathan was justified in disapproving of him from the beginning since he proved to be a terrible boyfriend.
* Kick the Dog:
* Team Phantom agrees Paulina reached a new low by helping Colette try to destroy Star and Danny's relationship.
* While unintentional on Kwan's part, the A-Listers let Danny get in trouble for the party they threw at his house without his knowledge.
* Know When to Fold 'Em: Kwan won't risk crossing Star's lawyer dad Johnathan.
* Lack of Empathy: Star calls Kwan out for never being considerate of her feelings when they dated and not changing since even in the present he still can’t understand why she would have a problem with him butting into her relationship with Danny by attempting to beat up her boyfriend due to easily believing Colette’s phony love letter scheme as well as being unable to comprehend she refuses to get back together with him or rejoin the A-Listers regardless if Danny is in the picture or not.
* Laser-Guided Karma: Kwan tries to steal Star from Danny but just makes a total fool of himself when she rejects him by making it clear she wants nothing to do with him anymore.
* Locked Out of the Loop: Kwan was ignorant of Danny getting thrown off Youngblood's pirate ship or being grounded for the party the A-Listers held at his house without his knowledge until Star tells him.
* Love Cannot Overcome: Part of the reason why Kwan and Star broke up and she won’t even associate with him now is because Kwan’s feelings for her weren’t enough to make him stand up to the A-Listers for her sake or even his own.
* Loving a Shadow: Star bluntly informs Kwan that the old her he's still pining after is long gone after completely outgrowing the A-Lister's toxic influence and the new her doesn't want any association with the popular kids, including him.
* Miplaced Retribution: Star makes it clear to Kwan it was not okay for Dash to beat up Danny when Sam had the school serve the vegan menu just because he's friends with her.
* Naseau Fuel: Danny has to resist gagging when Star brings up the time Kwan dumped her to date Colette for a week.
* Never My Fault: Star reminds Kwan that it was Dash's own fault he got mud pies since he ordered them when Sam had the school serve the vegan menu.
* No Accounting for Taste: Danny is disgusted when Star reveals Kwan dumped her to date Colette for a week.
* Not Worth Killing: When Colette breaks into an It's All About Me tirade when finally cornered by the Ghost Writer, he refuses to use his powers to turn her into an animal or monster since there's no room for love in her heart anyway.
* Oblivious to Hatred:
* Star calls Kwan out for being so dense it didn’t occur to him that she would rightfully resent him for being a lousy boyfriend and that she wouldn’t want anything to do with the A-Listers anymore for being horrible friends, especially since they made Colette, who Star completely hates, a member of their clique.
* Kwan didn’t know that Star’s dad always hated him for being an obvious Toxic Friend Influence on her until she tells him.
* Opportunistic Bastard: Star notes that Kwan doesn't really care if Danny was cheating on her or not with Colette since he just saw it as a chance to steal her from Danny, especially since Kwan never had a problem cheating on her with other girls including Colette.
* Paper Tiger: Star points out to Kwan he only plays the tough guy when bullying unpopular students but around the A-Listers he's an Extreme Doormat who flees at the sight of ghosts.
* Refusing to Rescue the Disliked: While Danny will protect Colette from the Ghost Writer, he's fine with Swan-Star attacking her.
* The Scapegoat: Star informs Kwan that Danny got grounded for the party the A-List held at his house without his knowledge.
* Self-Serving Memory: Star calls Kwan out on ignoring all the bad times from when they were dating and insisting they get back together since it shows he still hasn't acknowledged how much of a lousy boyfriend he was or that they made a horrible couple that were always at each other's throats.
* Shallow Cannot Comprehend True Love: Star calls Kwan out on his shallowness and immaturity for thinking that Danny would cheat on her with someone as vile as Colette or that she’d have anything to do with him just for being a jock after he was a bad boyfriend to her.
* Skewed Priorities: The Ghost Writer can't believe that Colette cares more about her ruined hair than the fact she's being attacked by an evil ghost like himself.
* Superior Successor: Star makes it clear to Kwan that Danny is a MUCH better boyfriend than he ever was and Team Phantom are real friends, unlike the A-Listers.
* That Man Is Dead: Star informs Kwan that her old Peer-Pressured Beta Bitch self is completely gone after she stopped caring about being one of the cool kids and the new her doesn't want anything to do with him or the A-Listers.
* Took a Level in Jerkass: Even Team Phantom are surprised that Paulina is petty enough to help Colette in her attempts to breakup Star and Danny with a fake love letter.
* Totally Trusting Love Interest: Paulina and Colette can’t figure out that Star and Danny are too smart and too loyal to each other to fall for their fake love letter scheme.
* Underestimating Intelligence: It never occurs to Paulina and Colette that Star and Danny are too smart and too faithful to each other to be fooled by their fake love letter scheme.
* Ungrateful Bastard: Star reveals to Kwan that the A-Listers only claimed Danny abandoned them when in reality he was tossed overboard by Youngblood because they were being ungrateful jerks.
* Unwitting Pawn: To Star’s disappointment, Kwan is still letting himself be easily manipulated by Colette when she dupes him into thinking Danny is cheating on Star with her with doctored photos and a fake love letter with his signature.
* Violently Protective Girlfriend: Gender-Inverted as it’s actually “ex-boyfriend” and deconstructed with Kwan since Star doesn’t appreciate him wanting to beat up Danny just because he was tricked by Colette’s fake love letter into believing that the Fenton boy was cheating on her with that Spoiled Brat not just because it’s none of his business, especially since he was a much worse boyfriend to her, but he’s still acting like the same meatheaded Dumb Jock he was when they broke up.
* Wasted Beauty: Colette's worsening Alpha Bitch behavior and growing obsession with Danny has left Kwan with wanting little to do with her.
* What Does She See in Him?:
* Kwan can't figure out why Star prefers a social outcast like Danny over an A-Lister jock like himself.
* The Ghost Writer is boggled that both Star and Colette are interested in Danny.
* You Are Grounded!: Team Phantom gets the Ghost Writer to have Paulina and Colette’s parents punish them for trying to ruin Star and Danny’s relationship with their fake love letter plan.
* You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: The Ghost Writer is exasperated that Colette is too cocnerned about her ruined hair to care that she's being a tormented by an evil ghost like himself.

Empowered:
* Act of True Love: Misty proves that, unlike Colette, she’s willing to risk her own life to protect Danny by absolutely refusing to grant the Bevier brat’s wish to brainwash him into loving her no matter how much she threatens her with her newfound ghost powers thus showing her feelings for the Fenton boy are genuine if unhealthy.
* Blessed with Suck: Both Star and Colette experience serious hunger from using their new ghost powers. Another downside for Colette is that Team Phantom have no problem attacking her now that they don’t have to care about holding back since she’s not a regular human anymore.
* By the Hair: Star pulls on an Empowered Colette’s hair as revenge for giving her boyfriend Danny a Forceful Kiss.
* Combat Pragmatist: Danny has no problem shooting an empowered Colette with an ecto-blast while her guard is down when she thinks she’s brainwashed him into being her slave with Misty’s mystical necklace.
* Cursed with Awesome: Both Star and Colette love the new ghost powers Misty accidentally gives them, but Star is willing to remove them if it means Colette loses hers too.
* Epic Fail: An empowered Colette tries to use Misty’s magical necklace to brainwash Danny into being her servant but it doesn’t work due to Misty completely refusing to grant her wish (as well as not having the power to grant a wish as outrageous as her’s) and she’s rewarded with an ecto-blast from Danny for her troubles.
* Horrible Judge of Character: Colette considers Danny “weak and malleable” which isn’t helped when she acquires ghost powers that make her even more insufferably narcissistic despite him already demonstrating that no amount of threats or manipulation will ever make him want anything to do with her even when he temporarily had amnesia in “Forgotten” since her awful personality made him remember how much he hates her.
* Irony: Danny told Colette in the beginning that the only reason he doesn’t hit her is because she’s a girl who’s just an extremely annoying pest instead of an actual bad guy but he does exactly that when she gets ghost powers after she proves to be no different than his ghostly enemies by using her newfound abilities to become a supervillain hellbent on taking over the world and forcing him to be her king. He doesn’t waste any time enjoying the opportunity to beat up his most repulsive Abhorrent Admirer.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Team Phantom and their allies note that getting ghost powers has made Colette FAR worse than she ever was since she's decided to use them to become a supervillain hellbent on taking over the world and destroying them along with forcing Danny to be with her.
* Danny wants EVEN less to do with Colette after she acquires ghost powers since they only exacerbate all her negative qualities, so she’s even more unhealthy obsessed and creepily possessive with him than ever to the point she plans on getting rid of his loved ones to have him all to herself and to make him her king regardless of his feelings on the matter even if it means threatening him into going along with her insane demands and increasingly unhinged behavior when she reveals she’s going to become a supervillain out to conquer the world.
* Pervert Revenge Mode: Danny ecto-blasts an empowered Colette for giving him a Forceful Kiss and Star pulls her hair for kissing her boyfriend just to mess with her.
* Smarter Than You Look: When an empowered Colette can’t find Danny at his house, she admits it was clever of him not to go to the first place she’d look for him and that “he’s not just a pretty face”.
* Villain Respect: An empowered Colette admits it was smart of Danny not to hide in his home when she can’t find him there and acknowledges she underestimated his intelligence.
* Wasted Beauty: Even Tucker is becoming scared and repulsed by Colette when her newfound ghost powers turn her into a megalomaniacal supervillain with a God Complex that’s determined to take over the world and force Danny to be with her.

Traveled:
* Bad “Bad Acting”: Johnathan, Solene, and even Stella immediately see Heather for the phony Gold Digging harpy she is since she obviously only cares about getting her hands on the former's money by flirting with him.
* Damned by Faint Praise: The closest to a nice thing that Johnathan can say about Heather St. Cloud is that she's doing better than her ex-husband Chip, not that it makes her any less annoying and unbearably unpleasant than she was in high achool.
* Dude Magnet: Heather was a popular and beautiful cheerleader in high school who both Chip and Johnathan were interested. Subverted in the present since neither of them can stand her for being a total bitch who lost all her beauty.
* It’s All About Me: It disgusts Team Phantom but doesn’t surprise them that Beatrice fled from New York after releasing the Forces of Nature like the coward she is.
* Jaded Washout: Heather St. Cloud went from a popular cheerleader and wealthy beauty queen to a disinherited salon worker who is barely scraping by that has seriously let herself and can’t find a man willing to put up with her bitter Alpha Bitch Womanchild attitude.
* Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Seriously downplayed with Heather but part of the reason why she wants a rich husband is to give her kids a better life like the one she had growing up.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Both Chip and Heather make it clear that marrying each other was a huge mistake on their part because they made a lousy couple.
* Not Good with Rejection tendencies aside, Heather is correct that Solene can't speak for Johnathan since it's up to him whether or not he rejects her.
* Both Solene and Johnathan make it clear that Heather is still the same shallow Spoiled Brat she was in high school since she's nothing but an overbearing Womanchild who's too unpleasant to put up with regardless of how she looks.
* Marty and his girlfriend are rightfully upset at Colette for kissing the former without permission just because she mistook him for Danny and insulting them while refusing to acknowledge her mistake so the latter kicks her into a dumpster.
* Manipulative Bitch: Subverted with Heather since Johnathan knows from his high school days that she’s this since she never gives him the time of day unless it's to use him which is obvious to Solene and even Stella as Heather doesn't bother to hide she's only after Johnathan's money and he wastes no time in refusing to associate with her.
* No Sympathy: Heather doesn't care if Chip is low on money or that the water in his apartment was shut off because all that matters to her is getting the alimony payment he owes her, and she is willing to sic her lawyer on him.
* "Not So Different" Remark: Stella compares Heather to her own mother Beatrice since they're both bitter overgrown Spoiled Brats who act like major pains to everyone and are stuck living in the past.
* Old Shame: Chip and Heather’s biggest regret was marrying each other since they were an extremely dysfunctional couple.

Dressed:
* Better Partner Assertion: Paulina insists that she would be a better girlfriend for Danny Phantom than Starlight Spirit but Chris points out she barely knows him and is just an average annoying fangirl while Starloght Spirit is a fellow superhero who actually is in his league.
* Entitled to Have You: Chris accuses Paulina of feeling this way towards Danny Phantom since she doesn’t care that he’s already dating Starlight Spirit.
* Fury-Fueled Foolishness: Valerie admits that Spectra is right that she was too blinded by rage to notice or care that her anger at Danny Phantom was completely misplaced and unjustified or that Vlad was manipulating her.
* Hypocrite: Spectra calls Valerie out on pushing the entire school science project onto Danny under the flimsy excuse of having a part-time and thinking Danny would slack-off on the assignment since she really just didn’t want to work with someone she saw as beneath her despite not being an A-Lister anyway.
* If I Wanted You Dead...: Spectra points out to Valerie that if she actually cared whether or not Danny Phantom was a bad guy she would’ve noticed he could’ve easily destroyed her multiple times considering how much more powerful he is than her but she didn’t bother to realize this because all that mattered to her was her petty grudge against the ghost boy, not protecting Amity Park or doing the right thing.
* Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance: Chris lampshades that Paulina knows so little about Danny Phantom she can’t figure out that he’ll never return her affections regardless if she wins or loses the beauty pageant, especially since he’s already dating Starlight Spirit.
* Loving a Shadow: Chris can certainly tell that Paulina’s interest in Danny Phantom is extremely shallow at best because she barely knows him and doesn’t even consider he won’t leave his girlfriend Starlight Spirit.
* No Listening Skills: Spectra brings up that Valerie was too angry to listen or care about anything Danny Phantom had to say like her dad only lost his job by accident or that he was a hero who wasn’t her enemy since she just cared about finding someone to blame and hurt for her own issues like she did when she bullied people as an A-Lister.
* Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Spectra brings up the time Valerie and Danny were paired together in a school science project and Valerie made a terrible partner by treating him like a flunky and pushing all the work onto him.
* What Measure Is a Non-Human: Subverted when Valerie tries to justify her decision of selling out Dani to the Guys in White under the excuse of being unaware that Dani she was half-human but Spectra points out that hurting a child, ghost or not, is FAR from heroic. Even Tucker concedes Spectra’s point.

Golden:
* 0% Approval Rating: The Beviers are planning to send Colette to boarding school to deal with her obsession with Danny for good, Danny’s become so sick of Colette’s constant harassment that he desperately hopes Jean-Luc forces her to marry Donovan Loadman just to make her finally give up on him, Team Phantom desperately want to get a restraining order against her, Donovan Loadman only wants to marry her to have a wealthy Trophy Wife, Kwan doesn’t want anything to do with her plans to harass Team Phantom, and Dash informs her that her unhealthy fixation with Danny is killing all her popularity since the A-Listers are beginning to distance themselves from her due to being creeped out to no end by her obsessive behavior towards Danny and don’t want to help her anymore in her schemes to try to steal him from Star regardless of how much she tries to manipulate them especially after she crossed the line by stalking him all the way to New York. Kwan even warns Colette that if she doesn’t drop her creepy behavior then even someone like Tucker won’t want anything to do with her because her unstable personality is just THAT disturbing.
* Abhorrent Admirer: Colette is trying really hard to hide her disgust of Dash when she’s trying to manipulate the Dumb Jock into ruining Star and Danny’s date at the Golden Guild for her.
* Adults Are Useless:
* For a change this is averted with the Mansons and Beviers since none of them want anything to do with Donovan Loadman after the unforgivable way he treated Star in “Visited” and threaten him with legal action if he bothers them or their daughters again (Jeremy even calls Sam to warn her about the Loadman brat)”.
* Again this is averted with the Beviers for a change who have finally run out of patience with Colette’s growing obsession with Danny since her problematic behavior is only growing worse over time and she stubbornly refuses to give up on the Fenton boy no matter how much he rejects her or how much trouble she causes everyone in her zany schemes to try to steal Danny from his loving girlfriend Star so they plan on sending her to boarding school to receive professional help for growing instability and threaten her with punishment should she leave the house for any reason without their permission besides school because they don’t want her to try to sabotage anymore of Star’s dates with Danny like the one they have at the Golden Guild today.
* All Women Are Lustful: Colette is a deconstructed aversion as Kwan notes she has so little regard for Danny as a person that it's obvious she doesn't feel any real love or even lust towards him because he's just a tool to hurt Star by trying to steal him and would act the same way towards Tucker doesn't finding him repulsive as long as he was dating Star.
* Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Sam reminds her parents to leave Danny alone at the country club otherwise Eleanor will kick them out for pointlessly antagonizing him because she doesn’t want any fighting at her club and likes him WAY more them.
* Ask a Stupid Question…: When Jean-Luc tells his family that something funny happened at the country club Colette asks him “Did mon amour finally come to his senses and decide to dump Estelle for me?” only for Jean-Luc to reply “I said funny, not unlikely”.
* Being Evil Sucks:
* Donovan’s horrendous Spoiled Brat personality and Abhorrent Admirer tendencies towards Star make him a pariah in the upperclass community since even snobs like the Mansons and Beviers know better than to associate with a creep like him.
* Colette’s obsession with Danny hasn’t done her sanity or personal life any favors since even the A-Listers and Beviers are becoming unnerved by her growing instability so much that the popular kids want little to do with her or her schemes to steal Danny from Star and her parents are planning on sending her away to boarding school so she’ll get away from Danny and they’ll do something about her problematic behavior.
* Believing Their Own Lies: It's becoming clear to everyone that Colette just wants to THINK she's in love with Danny because she treats him more like a trophy she's entitled to than a person since his feelings, opinions, personal boundaries, and relationships are of no concern to her while also ignoring all rejections.
* Bratty Teenage Daughter: Extremely deconstructed with Colette since even her overindulgent parents are becoming increasingly worn down by her worsening Spoiled Brat attitude because she stubbornly won’t leave Danny alone no matter how many times he rejects her and all the trouble she’s causing in the hopes of ruining his relationship with Star are making them plan on sending her to boarding school to get professional help far away from Danny so something will be done about her unacceptable behavior once and for all.
* Brutal Honesty:
* Eleanor makes no bones about how pathetic she finds the Mansons and Ida even agrees with her.
* Stella bluntly reminds Colette that Danny is Star’s “amour” and not hers so she needs to stop calling him that.
* Jean-Luc informs Colette that Danny won’t leave Star for her since he’s made that clear by rejecting her at every opportunity.
* Jean-Luc makes it clear to Colette that if she leaves the house without her parent’s permission then she’ll go to school even if she still has visible signs of allergies and Stella will tell Eleanor to keep an out if she sneaks out and somehow makes it to the country club.
* Both Dash and Kwan make it clear to Colette that her obsession with Danny is reaching a new level of creepy that makes them want no more part in her schemes to ruin his relationship with Star and that if she doesn’t get over him she’ll completely lose all her popularity and become a WAY bigger social outcast than Tucker because the A-Listers are losing their patience with her increasingly erratic behavior.
* Danny loudly hopes Jean-Luc forces Colette into a relationship with Donovan Loadman just so she’ll finally leave him alone because her growing obsession with him is turning her into a giant nuisance that’s constantly bothering him all the time and making trouble all over town.
* Can't Get Away with Nuthin': This is partly why the A-Listers refuse to help Colette try to sabotage Star and Danny's relationship anymore since her plans keep failing and getting them into trouble.
* Casanova Wannabe: Everyone can see Colette is this to Danny since every time she flirts with him he just rejects her and her persistence is only making him grow less tolerant of her.
* Cassandra Truth: The cop at the park doesn’t believe Dash’s story that a shapeshifting ghost (Amorpho) was impersonating his dog Pooky the last time they were there.
* Character Development: Both Stella and Jean-Luc are taking a much more active and serious role in parenting Colette since they’re beginning to notice how completely unhealthy her obsession with Danny is getting and are taking steps to do something about it such as preventing her from trying to interfere anymore in his relationship with Star by forbidding her from leaving the house unsupervised or going to the country club while they’re on a date their so she can’t keep trying to ruin their dates out of some immature and delusional belief that destroying their relationship will make him date her and plan to send her to boarding school far away from Danny to get her professional help for her blatant self-destructive behavior.
* Comically Lopsided Rivalry: Even Kwan and the Beviers inform Colette that nothing she does will ever make Danny lose interest in Star since he loves her and hates Colette too much to even want to associate with her.
* Digging Yourself Deeper: Colette claiming that she’ll never give up on Danny no matter how much he rejects or says “no” to her only further confirms her unhealthy obsessive mentality and motivates her parents even more in their decision to seek for her professional help for her growing instability in the form of boarding school, especially since she’ll be far away from Danny.
* Disproportionate Retribution: Kwan calls Colette out on fixating over destroying a happy couple just because her pride won’t let her accept that Danny would rather date Star than her. He also points out how utterly petty her grudge against the couple is because she clearly doesn’t have any actual feelings for Danny (genuine or shallow) since she just wants to steal him to hurt Star For the Evulz and would behave the same way towards Tucker despite being revolted by him if it made her stepsister miserable.
* Drama Queen: Darkly deconstructed with Colette since everyone is growing completely exasperated at best with her Danny obsession and increasingly erratic behavior all because she just can’t handle rejection since it’s becoming obvious she regards him as more of a trophy that she feels entitled to than a human being due to her stubborn refusal to accept that he’s happy with Star and won’t give her the time of day even if he were single.
* Dramatically Missing the Point: Everyone is getting tired of Colette’s inability to grasp that there’s no point in sabotaging Danny’s relationship with Star because he loves her too much to ever leave her and he wouldn’t give Colette the time of day even if he was single since he clearly hates her so splitting up the couple isn’t going to make him date or even like her.
* The Dreaded: Deconstructed with Colette. The A-Listers are becoming understandably creeped out by Colette’s unstable Yandere behavior since her unhealthy fixation with Danny is only getting worse and they’re frightened of what she might do to steal him from Star to the point they’re much less willing to get involved with her and her schemes to ruin Danny’s relationship with Star. The Beviers also want to send Colette away to boarding to get professional help for her worsening mental health because her obsession with Danny is taking a huge toll on her sanity.
* Dumbass Has a Point:
* The A-Listers, especially Kwan, are starting to figure out that Colette only wants to steal Danny from Star out of possessiveness and some twisted desire to hurt her stepsister rather than any genuine attraction or interest in the Fenton boy since she clearly doesn't care that he completely hates her and dearly loves Star.
* Kwan predicts that the only thing Colette will achieve with her constant harassment of Danny is turning herself into an outcast by making everyone hate her and he’s proven right in “Blackmailed” when exactly that happens after the full scope of her true nature as an unhinged sociopathic Yandere is exposed to the public after Team Phantom tricks her into publicly admitting her crimes.
* Entitled Bastard: Donovan believes he deserves a rich Trophy Wife just because he’s a Blue Blood regardless of being disinherited by his father or how much of a jerk he acts, especially towards any girl who rejects him like Star.
* Entitled Bitch:
* Everyone can see Colette only obsesses over Danny because she’s so spoiled she feels entitled to him and can’t stand him choosing another girl (especially Star) over her due to being a rich Blue Blood rather than actually having any real feelings for him.
* Everyone is getting exasperated that Colette actually expects Danny to date her if she destroys his relationship with Star since she clearly doesn’t understand or care that he’d just want even less to do with her for coming between him and his loving girlfriend Star.
* Entitled to Have You: Everyone is rightfully starting to suspect this is how Colette truly feels about Danny given her growing clingy and possessive behavior towards him as well as utter lack of regard for his girlfriend Star and the rules since she doesn’t care how much trouble she causes in her attempts to break them up.
* Everyone Has Standards:
* While Jean-Luc is fine with stealing another man’s lover, he doesn’t actively try to sabotage others relationships as he knows when to back off after being rejected so he threatens to punish Colette if she keeps trying to ruin Star and Danny’s dates if she leaves the house without permission or goes near the country club while the couple is there.
* The Mansons might be desperate to impress Eleanor but they won’t pretend to be goths because they know it’s too late to trick her and they know they would look pathetic as goths.
* As problematic as Colette’s obsession with Danny is getting, Stella refuses to return her to France since she’d have to leave Star by moving back there.
* Kwan spells out to Colette that her unstable Yandere tendencies towards Danny are so disturbing that even a Casanova Wannabe like Tucker won’t want anything to do with her if she keeps stalking the Fenton boy because her obsessive behavior is THAT creepy and unnerving.
* Even Nerds Have Standards: Kwan makes it clear to Colette that her refusal to drop her creepy fixation with Danny will make her too unpopular for even Tucker to stand her presence because her obsessive behavior is just WAY too disturbing and unattractive.
* Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Everyone is frustrated to no end by Colette’s inability to grasp that she can’t destroy Danny’s relationship with Star regardless of how clever or underhanded her schemes are because they love each other too much to ever break up plus she refuses to understand that even if she does succeed at ruining Danny’s relationship with Star it will just make him hate her EVEN more than he already does so she’s completely delusional for thinking that splitting the couple up will make him date her a girl that he never liked nor ever had any interest in.
* Evil Is Petty: Colette admits to everyone that no amount of rejections from Danny will get her to stop trying to steal him from Star.
* Eviler Than Thou: A huge deconstruction with Colette as everyone is beginning to realize how much worse she is than the A-Listers due to her increasingly unstable behavior and all the trouble she keeps causing in her goal to steal Danny from Star so the A-Listers start to cut ties with her and the Beviers plan to send her away to boarding school for some desperately needed psychiatric help.
* Excellent Judge of Character:
* Kwan eventually realizes Star is happy with Danny and Colette has no shot with him since he loves Star dearly and hates Colette too much to associate with her even if he were single.
* The Beviers and A-Listers correctly regard Colette’s stalking of Danny as seriously unhealthy and start questioning her sanity since she stubbornly refuses to leave the Fenton boy alone despite his constant rejections and the fact he’s already happily dating Star. Kwan even notes that if Colette doesn’t drop her unhealthy self-destructive behavior she’ll have to kiss whatever popularity she has left goodbye forever since even Tucker would never want to associate with someone so unstable she has a psychotic breakdown whenever a boy turns her down.
* Failure Is the Only Option: Both the Beviers and the A-Listers make it clear to Colette that she has no chance at all of stealing Danny from Star because they love each other too much to ever break up and he hates her too much for her annoying personality to ever associate with her even if he were single. Even Kwan spells out that all Colette is accomplishing with her pointless fixation with Danny is destroying her own life since even Dash can figure out that her creepy behavior will make everyone avoid her like the plague including Tucker due to the giant toll it’s already having on her popularity with the cool kids wanting to spend less and less time with her because she won’t stop causing trouble around town in her futile efforts to try to ruin Star and Danny’s relationship.
* Give Geeks a Chance: Darkly deconstructed with Colette since as Kwan points out she’s only interested in Danny out of a massive sense of entitlement, inability to accept rejection, and petty obsession with hurting Star by stealing her boyfriend rather than out of love or genuine attraction and she would fixate on Tucker Foley just as much as long as he was going out with her stepsister despite her being repulsed by him.
* The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Very much deconstructed with Colette since Dash and Kwan are calling her out on her self-destructive behavior for not caring at all about how she’s ruining her own life by turning everyone against her through pursuing an unhealthy, one-sided fixation with a boy who completely hates her guts and is already in a loving relationship with Star since it’s clear she’s only harassing Danny none stop out of an extremely petty grudge towards her stepsister Star rather than out of genuinely loving him due to not respecting his feelings or relationships.
* Good Is Not Soft:
* Eleanor is very open about her disdain for the Mansons and Ida can’t disagree with her insults.
* Danny desperately prays that Jean-Luc forces Colette into an Arranged Marriage with Donovan Loadman so she’ll finally be out of his life for good since he’s losing all patience with her never ending harassment and inability to accept rejection.
* Green-Eyed Monster: Kwan remarks that Colette is only interested in Danny because she hates that Star is more popular with a boy than her and she would want to date even Tucker too as long as he was going out with Star.
* Grew a Spine: Kwan has become more willing to stand up to Colette partly because her growing obsession of Danny is making her too unbearable for even the A-Listers to stomach her erratic behavior anymore and he’s disgusted that she’s going out of her way to destroy a happy couple just because of her petty grudge with Star.
* Her Own Worst Enemy: Kwan spells out to Colette that she’s ruining her own life with her self-destructive obsession with destroying Danny and Star’s relationship since it’s clearly taking a giant toll on her mental state and social life.
* Hidden Depths:
* Despite Jean-Luc’s disdain towards Danny for his humble background, he does acknowledge the Fenton boys redeeming qualities when he points out to Donovan Loadman that Danny is FAR better husband material than him due to actually having manners and being devoted to his girlfriend Star while the Loadman brat is nothing but a violent Jerkass who resorts to brutish behavior whenever denied.
* Kwan shows a surprisingly keen understanding of love when he points out to Colette that she has no hope of stealing Danny from Star because they’re clearly happy together and he doesn’t care about her anyway due to her interest in him being shallow at best since she obviously only regards him as a tool to hurt her stepsister.
* History Repeats: Like with an amnesiac Danny in “Forgotten”, Colette’s horrible personality causes Kwan and Dash to lose all interest in her and they decide to have little to do with her anymore since they’re starting to rightfully regard her as trouble.
* Hypocrite:
* The Mansons Marry for Love despite their families protest of their relationship but vehemently oppose Sam’s interest in Danny just because he’s middle-class.
* Colette vehemently refuses to marry Donovan Loadman in an Arranged Marriage because she completely despises him but she stubbornly refuses to leave Danny alone despite him already dating Star and openly hating her guts.
* Jean-Luc makes it clear to Donovan that his violent actions towards Star makes him no better than the lower classes he hates especially since they were taught to expect that sort of unruly behavior from non-Upper Class people.
* Jean-Luc is boggled by Colette's obsession with Danny and questions where she gets this kind of behavior from which doesn’t mean much coming from a shallow Entitled Bastard who groomed her into being an even worse elitist snob incapable of taking "no" for an answer than he is and who does very little to curb her out of control behavior.
* Jean-Luc admits to Donovan he doesn't care about the Loadman brat forcing Star into an Arranged Marriage because he doesn't view her as his daughter so he doesn't see her as his responsibility but he vehemently refuses to let anyone force Colette into a relationship especially with a violent Spoiled Brat like himself.
* Donovan won't stop whining over Danny punching him in the face despite everyone pointing out it's 100% his own fault that happened for abusing Danny's girlfriend Star for rejecting him.
* I Reject Your Reality:
* As far as Donovan is concerned, he did nothing wrong and Danny is the reason why Star won’t have anything to do with him for turning her against him because his constant harassment of the Strong girl isn’t the cause.
* According to Colette, the only reason she isn’t with Danny is because Star is in the way and he has no idea how much of a great girlfriend she’d be despite being a controlling Spoiled Brat Alpha Bitch with no respect for his feelings, relationships, or loved ones as she only regards him as a trophy that she feels entitled to.
* Insane Troll Logic: The Mansons call Donovan out for assuming they would force their daughter Star into an Arranged Marriage with him just because both their families are wealthy since, unlike Beatrice, they don’t believe in that archaic practice and don’t like him anyway for his harassment of Star.
* Irony:
* Jean-Luc of all people lampshades that despite Danny’s middle-class upbringing he is FAR more of a gentleman than the Blue Blood Donovan Loadman due to actually having redeeming qualities like gentleman manners and his devotion to his girlfriend Star while the Loadman Spoiled Brat is just a violent jerk who lashes out when he’s denied.
* Kwan lampshades to Colette that she’s obsessed with stealing Danny from Star only because he’s dating her and she’d do the same with Tucker despite her revulsion of him as long as he was going out with her stepsister.
* Irrational Hatred: Extremely deconstructed with Colette since her growing obsession with Danny is only worsening the “irrational” part and making everyone realize how unstable she is for fixating on ruining Star’s life to increasingly disturbing lengths, even the A-Listers are figuring out she’s just using Danny as an excuse to harass Team Phantom because she obviously doesn’t care about how much he hates her or that she’s fueling that hatred by hurting his loved ones.
* It’s All About Me:
* Jean-Luc only has a problem with Colette’s growing unhealthy obsession with Danny because all the trouble she’s causing in her efforts to steal him from Star are giving him a giant headache and he doesn’t consider the Fenton boy good enough by his snobby standards.
* A rare justified and sympathetic example with Danny because nothing would make him happier than for Colette to finally leave him alone by having Jean-Luc force her into an Arranged Marriage with Donovan Loadman despite knowing she hates him and that Toadman is a violent Spoiled Brat since she’s just THAT much of a vile Abhorrent Admirer to him and the events of “Empowered” show she is capable of being MUCH worse.
* Jerk with a Heart of Jerk:
* Donovan makes it clear he only wants a rich wife so he can get his wealthy lifestyle back and is fine with forcing a girl to be with him, much to the disgust of the Mansons and Jean-Luc.
* Everyone is beginning to realize that Colette is obsessed with stealing Danny just to hurt Star rather than out of having any real feelings for the Fenton boy.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Everyone tells Colette it's way past time she gave up on Danny since even if he weren't already dating Star, a normal person would've given up a long time ago if they got rejected as much as her especially since all her efforts to try to steal him from Star are taking a massive toll on her sanity and personal life with everyone threatening to cut ties with her if she keeps causing problems every time sh doesn’t get what she wants.
* Sam points out to her parents that by calling Danny a Gold Digger they’re insulting Star too by implying she’s dumb enough to date one.
* Eleanor does not care what the Mansons problem with the Fentons is since it has nothing to do with her or the Golden Guild and has no tolerance for them antagonizing Danny at her country club because their immaturity and unpleasant behavior are seriously wearing down her patience.
* Ida is rightfully annoyed by the Mansons stubborn insistence that the incident with the ghost tiger in “Bonding” is the Fenton’s fault since they can’t just accuse them without any proof and it’s not endearing them to Eleanor who they want to impress and likes the Fentons.
* As far as Danny is concerned, it wouldn’t be a terrible idea for Jean-Luc to force his daughter Colette into an Arranged Marriage with Donovan Loadman no matter how much she hates him or how much of a violent Jerkass Toadman is since the Bevier brat is becoming a MUCH worse Abhorrent Admirer Clingy Jealous Girl Stalker with a Crush to him over time to the point it reaches downright murderously possessive levels like when she temporarily got ghost powers in "Empowered" due to being a Psychopathic Womanchild Spoiled Brat that’s Not Good with Rejection who constantly tries to sabotage his relationship with his girlfriend Star regardless of who gets hurt in the process or how much he blatantly hates her guts and at least she’d be forced to give up on him for good if she was with someone else. The fact the A-Listers are beginning to cut ties with Colette and the Beviers are planning on sending her to boarding school to get professional help for her obsessive behavior only further proves his point since even they’re starting to realize she’s a lost cause who won’t leave the Fenton boy alone no matter how much rejection, failure, pain, humiliation, or punishment she suffers in her pointless mission to try to steal him from Star.
* Jean-Luc makes it very clear to Donovan Loadman he doesn’t deserve to be a Blue Blood for acting like violent brat towards Star and that his daughter Colette can do better than him since even Danny is WAY better husband material due to actually having gentleman qualities like manners.
* Jerkass to One: Eleanor is a Nice Girl but has nothing but contempt for the Mansons for being annoying immature Upper-Class Twits that are obsessed with getting into her country club merely for the sake of status.
* Know When to Fold ‘Em: Kwan has accepted that Star is happier with Danny and doesn’t want anything to do with Colette’s schemes to try to break them up since he knows she‘ll always fail due to Danny’s deep hatred of her and her growing fixation with the Fenton boy is becoming too creepy for him to stomach anymore.
* Lack of Empathy:
* Even the Mansons and Jean-Luc are disgusted that Donovan Loadman only wants to marry their daughters to get his greedy hands on their families fortunes especially since he’s too selfish and misogynistic to care about the girls due to being will to try to convince their parents to force them into Arranged Marriage with him because their feelings don’t matter in the slightest to him.
* Even the A-Listers can see Colette doesn’t care in the slightest about Danny since Kwan points out she only wants to steal him from Star to make her miserable and it doesn’t matter in the slightest to her that they’re completely happy together or that Danny hates her guts, which isn’t helped by her constant meddling in their relationship.
* Like Father, Unlike Daughter: Unlike Colette, Jean-Luc CAN accept rejection and points this out because he never acts fixated about someone so he’s completely boggled where his daughter gets her clingy, stalkerish behavior from.
* Lust Makes You Dumb: Colette’s growing obsession with Danny is taking as much of a toll on her intelligence as it has her sanity and social life since she’s been exposing her true colors as an unhinged sociopathic Spoiled Brat that’s becoming a Yandere to Danny because she doesn’t care that he doesn’t want anything to do with her for her repulsive psychopathic Entitled Bitch attitude due to the only thing that matters to her is satisfying her ego over being rejected by a boy for the first time and settling her extremely petty feud with Star by stealing her boyfriend regardless of the methods she uses or the people she hurts.
* Manipulative Bitch: Deconstructed heavily with Colette. It’s become clear even to the A-Listers that Colette only wants to steal Danny to hurt Star and they’re done letting her use them as pawns in her increasingly troublesome schemes after reaching their limit with her worsening erratic behavior and growing fixation with the Fenton boy especially after she followed Team Phantom to New York in “Traveled”.
* Mask of Sanity: Everyone is beginning to realize how unstable Colette really is when she stubbornly refuses to drop her fixation with Danny who obviously doesn’t like her in the slightest as he keeps rejecting her no matter how much it’s ruining her own life and makes everybody avoid her like the plague because they’re reasonably afraid of what she’ll do to accomplish her insane goals.
* Meaningless Villain Victory: Discussed as Kwan makes it clear to Colette that Danny won’t have anything to do with her regardless of Star’s presence in his life since he hates her as much as Star does so even if she did break them up all it would accomplish is making them rightfully hate her even more than they already do for being petty enough to sabotage a happy couple.
* Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: The A-Listers are becoming completely exhausted by Colette’s growing obsession with Danny and increasingly insane demands to the point they won’t help her anymore in her schemes to try to steal him from Star despite her manipulations and promises of rewards since Kwan tells her everyone is getting creeped out to no end by her unhealthy obsessive behavior and Dash backs out of helping her ruin their date after realizing no amount of money is worth getting into trouble.
* Moral Myopia:
* As far as Donovan is concerned it’s ok for him to act like a violent jerk to Star because he’s a Blue Blood but it’s unacceptable for Danny to punch his teeth out for harassing his girlfriend in “Visited”.
* Kwan calls Colette out on claiming to love Danny yet going out of her way to ruin his happy relationship with Star out of sheer pettiness, especially since it’s obvious that his feelings don’t matter at all to her because she doesn’t care how much he rejects her or that he hates her too much to ever want anything to do with her regardless of Star’s presence in his life.
* Everyone makes it clear to Colette that regardless of whether or not her feelings for Danny are genuine (and they most certainly are not) it isn't ok at all for her to try to steal him from Star since he's already made his utter disinterest in her crystal clear by rejecting her at every opportunity for months, plus her never ending harassment of Team Phantom is just making him want even less to do with her to the point he’s becoming desperate to get her out of his life for good, and he obviously only loves Star.
* Motive Decay: Darkly deconstructed with Colette as the A-Listers have pointed out she originally only wanted to steal Danny to hurt Star but his constant rejections have made her obsessed with him and that is NOT a good thing in the slighest since her worsening instability is making her a giant nuisance at best and a menace to everyone at worst because she doesn't care what she has to do to ruin his relationship with Star and they're rightfully worried she's going to hurt someone if she doesn't stop.
* Never My Fault:
* Jean is incapable of grasping that Colette's growing out of control behavior is a result of his own really lousy parenting since he passed down his worst qualties to her and has been enabling her selfish nature her whole life while still refusing to do anything to curb her rotten attitude unless it causes him headaches.
* Colette refuses to comprehend that her increasingly obsessive behavior and constant harassment of Star and Danny are making everyone want to stay far away from her due to rightfully fearing that she’s becoming unstable and will do something drastic/dangerous to get her own way.
* Even Kwan and Dash are calling Colette out on using Danny as an excuse for her own horrible behavior since she obviously doesn’t have any genuine (or healthy) feelings for him and just wants to hurt Star for her own extremely petty satisfaction.
* No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Stella’s refusal to take Colette back to France no matter how much worse her obsession with Danny gets in order to remain with Star and Jean-Luc’s refusal to force her into an Arranged Marriage with the Jerkass Donovan Loadman will prove to have drastic consequences for Team Phantom and their loved ones in “Blackmailed”.
* No Listening Skills: Deconstructed to its logical conclusion with Colette as everyone is growing as tired as Team Phantom with her unhealthy Danny obsession since literally NOTHING will convince her pursuing him is a complete waste of time even though he’s already spoken for due to dating Star and goes out of his way to avoid Colette like the plague at every opportunity so they give up on reasoning with her as the A-Listers are beginning to cut all ties with her by no longer getting involved in her schemes and the Beviers are going to send her away to boarding school to receive professional help.
* No Love for the Wicked: Realistically deconstructed with Colette since the "wicked" part is becoming obvious to everyone even the A-Listers as they have realized she has no real understanding of love or romance since she only expresses her interest in Danny by constanting harassing and interfering in his relationships no matter how much it makes him hate her and exasperate everyone over the trouble she keeps causing due to her inability to handle rejection.
* No Sympathy:
* Danny makes it crystal clear that nothing would make him happier than to have Colette leave him alone for good and he very much hopes that her father Jean-Luc will force her into an Arranged Marriage with Donovan despite knowing Colette loathes him and how much of a violent Jerkass the Loadman brat is if it meant she’d finally give up on him since he utterly hates her for being an even worse Yandere Abhorrent Admirer than Toadman and her constant unwanted harassment of Team Phantom is making her a danger to everybody she comes into contact with since she’s fine with hurting others in her mission to steal him from his girlfriend Star.
* The Mansons, Beviers, and Reginald make it clear to Donovan they don't care that he was punched by Danny and disinherited by his father since he completely brought it on himself for his unacceptable harassment of Star in "Visited".
* No Love for the Wicked:
* Everyone is beginning to realize Colette has no real attachment to Danny due to her worsening disregard for his feelings, wishes, loved ones, and relationships because she clearly doesn’t care who she hurts in her efforts to steal him from Star. Even Dash and Kwan spell out that Colette doesn’t care about Danny anymore than she did Star’s past boyfriends that she dumped after getting bored of them when she stole them from her stepsister since her interest in him is extremely shallow at best because she clearly wouldn’t give him the time of day like she does with Tucker Foley if it weren’t for his relationship with Star.
* All tht matters to Donovan is having a wealthy Trophy Wife which does not endear him to the Mansons or Beviers in the slighest and they tell him to stay away from their families.
* Not Helping Your Case:
* Everyone points out to Colette that constantly trying to sabotage Danny’s happy relationship with Star is not going to make him date her since they love each other too much to ever break up plus he already hates her and she’s only fueling that hatred by stubbornly refusing to respect his feelings, personal boundaries, loved ones, and relationships.
* Colette’s admittance that she’ll never move on from Danny no matter how many times he rejects her only further proves to her parents that her obsessive attitude is becoming a major problem and that she needs to get serious professional help for the sake of her own mental health before her increasingly erratic behavior gets even more out of control.
* Donovan Loadman’s unapologetic harassment of Star and blatant Gold Digger agenda does not endear him to the Mansons or Jean-Luc in the slightest when he tries to convince them to let them marry Sam or Colette respectively.
* Obliviously Evil:
* The Mansons and Jean-Luc are just as exasperated by Donovan’s inability to grasp that his harassment of Star and willingness to force a girl into an Arranged Marriage with him are unacceptable especially since it makes him incapable of understanding why they refuse to let him near their own daughters for those reasons.
* Everyone is getting completely frustrated by Colette’s stubborn refusal to understand that her harassment of Star and Danny is NOT acceptable in any way, shape, or form, especially since it’s making her an even bigger pain than she already was due to the obvious heavy toll her obsession is having on her sanity and the trouble she keeps causing around town is wrecking her social life since it’s making everyone more desperate to get her out of their lives for good.
* Offended by an Enemy’s Indifference: Everyone points to Colette she only obsesses over Danny because she's too petty and egotistical to get over the fact he has zero interest in her and nothing she does will ever change that.
* Offended by an Inferior’s Success: Even the A-Listers acknowledge Colette just wants to steal Danny to hurt Star and satisfy her own ego since she can't stand her of all people getting more attention than she does.
* O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The fact that even people as apathetic as Jean-Luc and the A-Listers are getting tired of Colette’s obsession with Danny speaks VOLUMES of how creepy and worrisome Colette’s behavior is becoming.
* Pestering The Reluctant:
* Everyone informs Colette she’s doing this to Danny because he obviously hates her too much to ever associate with her so she’s completely delusional for thinking she can get him to dump Star for her.
* Both the Mansons and Jean-Luc Bevier make it clear to Donovan Loadman they want as little to do with him as their daughters do so he can forget about marrying either of them.
* Pet the Dog:
* Reginald Loadman doesn’t like the Mansons anymore than Eleanor does but is willing to be polite with them.
* Jeremy genuinely congratulates Reginald for having a successful realtor business.
* Eleanor comes to Danny’s defense when Jeremy antagonizes him and scolds him for his unnecessarily rude behavior.
* Stella wants to send Colette to boarding school partly because she’s rightfully worried about her stepdaughter’s worsening mental state and believes she needs professional help to deal with her unhealthy fixation with Danny.
* Jean-Luc threatens to send Colette to boarding school in London where they can legally use the paddle against minors if she keeps being disrespectful to Stella after accusing her of tricking him into thinking boarding school was his idea.
* Part of the reason why Jean-Luc wants to send Colette to boarding school is to get her far away from Danny and so she’ll receive professional help with her unhealthy obsession towards the Fenton boy because he justifiably questions her sanity for refusing to accept rejection from him for several months despite him making it crystal clear he hates her too much to ever leave Star for her.
* Downplayed as Jean-Luc is mainly doing it for selfish reasons such as protecting his family’s reputation, but he does at least try to keep Colette from interfering anymore in Danny and Star’s relationship by threatening to punish her if she sneaks out of the house without her parents permission to try to sabotage their date at the country club.
* Kwan absolutely refuses to help Colette in any of her schemes to ruin Star and Danny’s relationship because he’s accepted that they’re happy together and is glad for it, plus he’s disgusted that Colette wants to split the couple up for entirely petty reasons and warns her to give up before her obsession ruins her own life.
* Kwan and Dash are a little concerned for Colette’s mental state since they can see that her growing fixation with Danny is making her erratic and warn her to get it under control because of the negative impact her obsessive behavior is having on her sanity and social life since her popularity is dropping at an alarming rate due to everyone’s growing disgust towards her harassment of Star and Danny.
* Sam tells her parents to shut up when they start insulting Danny and Star, partly to also avoid her family getting kicked out of the country club by Eleanor due to her parents immaturity.
* Eleanor offers to let Star and Danny join the Golden Guild when they become 18 years of age.
* Dash and Paulina warn Star and Danny about Colette’s intentions of ruining their date at the Golden Guild despite their dislike of the couple.
* Danny does thank Dash and Paulina for warning him and Star about Colette’s plans to try to ruin their date at the Golden Guild.
* Pretender Diss: Sam is glad that her parents won’t pretend to be goths in some desperate attempt to try to impress Eleanor since they would be much more pathetic as posers.
* Properly Paranoid:
* Everyone is becoming terrified of Colette because of her increasingly desperate attempts to steal Danny from Star to the extent that Team Phantom are searching for a legal way to get rid of her for good like a restraining order, the A-Listers are considering cutting ties with her since they’re hanging out with Colette a lot less recently and don’t want anything to do with anymore of her schemes to make Star and Danny break up, and the Beviers want to send her to boarding school so she’ll get professional help FAR AWAY from everyone including Danny.
* Stella and Jean-Luc are wising up about Colette’s unhealthy fixation with Danny after dealing with her obsessive behavior for months and refuse to tolerate anymore of her schemes to try to break him and Star up by threatening to punish her if she leaves the house without her parents permission so she doesn’t attempt to ruin the couple’s date at the Golden Guild.
* Danny does NOT appreciate Jean-Luc's decision to refuse Donovan Loadman's proposal of an Arranged Marriage between himself and Colette because it means he STILL has to put up with the Bevier brat's harassment and "Empowered" proves Colette can and will resort to worse behavior that makes her a menace to society especially if Danny keeps rejecting her. It's not until "Blackmailed" that Danny finds out the hard way just HOW nasty Colette can be without ghost powers.
* Psychological Projection: Reginald Loadman does not appreciate Jeremy insinuating that he’s only charitable to get into the Golden Guild like he wants to be.
* Reasonable Authority Figure: Eleanor agrees to let the Mansons stay at the country club as Ida’s guests (mainly so they’ll stop bothering her about being made members of the Golden Guild) but makes it clear they’re expected to behave or else they and Ida will get in trouble.
* Rejection Affection: Completely deconstructed with Colette since everyone is realizing she has no real affection for Danny in the slightest and just feels entitled to him out of an extremely immature refusal to accept being told “no” by a boy for the first time in her life which causes them to question her sanity for fixating on a boy that constantly rejects her especially since she clearly just wants to ruin his relationship with his girlfriend Star for sick kicks.
* Relationship Sabotage: Realistically deconstructed with Colette since even the A-Listers note that her entire MO is ruining Star's life by stealing her boyfriends just to make her miserable rather than out of any actual interet towards them and, despite her delusions to the contrary, Danny is clearly no exception since his feelings and opinions don't matter at all to her as long as she can take him from Star regardless of how much he hates her.
* Revenge Through Corruption: A giant deconstruction with Colette as the A-Listers are beginning to realize how unstable she really is when her unhealthy obsession with Danny grows worse over time and the cool kids figure out she has no real interest in Danny (genuine or shallow) since it’s obvious even to Dash and Kwan she just wants to turn the Fenton boy against Star out of some petty fixation with hurting her stepsister so they won’t help her harass the couple anymore regardless of her bribes or manipulation and start distancing themselves from her to the point Dash makes it clear she’s losing all her popularity and Kwan spells out she’ll end up a total pariah if she doesn’t back off Team Hantom.
* Right for the Wrong Reasons: While the Mansons are only saying it out of snobbishness and an attempt to brown-nose, they do agree with Jean-Luc’s point that his daughter Colette is completely wasting her time chasing after Danny and should just move on already, especially since her interest in him is clearly not a good thing in the slightest as she’s trying to steal him from his girlfriend Star who even Jean-Luc notes he vastly prefers over Colette and will never leave especially not for his Abhorrent Admirer Colette.
* Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: None of the A-Listers want to help Colette in anymore of her plans to try to steal Danny from Star because they have officially reached their limit with her creepy obsession with the Fenton boy and while Dash is tempted by money as well as the promise of a date with Colette, he ultimately decides it’s not worth it and backs out.
* Secretly Selfish: It’s actually becoming no secret to everyone that Colette just wants to destroy Star and Danny’s relationship out of a petty obsession with ruining her stepsister’s life and because there’s something SERIOUSLY wrong with her for being incapable of handling rejection rather than any true attraction for or real interest in the Fenton boy.
* Selective Obliviousness: Donovan doesn’t care if Sam and Colette hate his guts because all he cares about is getting a rich Trophy Wife to have his wealthy lifestyle back.
* Self-Proclaimed Love Interest: Deconstructed heavily with Colette. Both Stella and Jean-Luc bluntly remind Colette that Danny is Star’s boyfriend and she needs to accept that because her obsession with him is clearly not doing her mental state any favors or her popularity since even the A-Listers are keeping their distance from her due to how creepy her fixation with Danny is to the point they won’t help her anywhere in her schemes to break him and Star up.
* Sexual Predator Bully: Played realistically with Colette and Donovan since everyone makes it clear their constant harassment of Danny and Star, respectively, is unacceptable with even their own families threatening to punish them if they continue.
* Shallow Cannot Comprehend True Love:
* The Mansons, Jean-Luc, Donovan Loadman, and the two new Golden Guild employees Oliver and Kevin still can’t grasp why wealthy girls like Sam and Star would love a middle-class guy like Danny.
* Subverted when it comes to Colette since it’s becoming clear to everyone (especially the A-Listers) that she just has a delusional, one-sided obsession with Danny because her ego can’t accept that he’d rather date Star than her.
* Shipper on Deck: Kwan eventually accepts Star is happier with Danny and tries to discourage Colette from continuing to try to ruin their relationship out of sheer pettiness.
* Shipper with an Agenda: A rare downplayed and sympathetic example with Danny but he desperately wishes that Jean-Luc would force Colette into an Arranged Marriage with Donovan Loadman so she’ll finally quit harassing him because she won’t stop being a nuisance to Team Phantom and her actions in “Empowered” and “Blackmailed” prove she is capable of FAR worse behavior than just being an Abhorrent Admirer Stalker with a Crush Alpha Bitch Big Sister Bully.
* Shout-Out: Jean-Luc brings up to the Mansons that there’s a wealthy fashion mogul in Paris with a son who is around Colette’s age. He could be referring to Gabriel Agreste and his son Adrien from Miraculous Ladybug.
* Single-Target Sexuality: Very darkly deconstructed with Colette since everyone notes that her interest in Danny isn’t just inappropriate because he already has a girlfriend but unacceptable since a sane person would’ve given up after being rejected as much as she has and her utter lack of respect for his relationships, feelings, and personal space are making it crystal clear that she is NOT a sane person nor has any genuine feelings for him because if she truly loved Danny then she would accept that he’s not interested in her and only has eyes for Star.
* Small Name, Big Ego:
* Completely deconstructed with Colette since it’s becoming clear to everyone that she only obsesses over Danny because she’s too full of herself to take rejection from ANY boy and is fine with harassing an innocent couple to potentially illegal/dangerous limits just for the sake of satisfying her own swollen shallow ego.
* Donovan thinks he’s entitled to a wealthy Trophy Wife just because he’s a Blue Blood from an Old Money family regardless of how much of a boorish jackass he is or his father disinheriting him.
* Smart Ball: Dash at least has the sense to demand Colette pay him in advance when at the time he agreed to ruin Danny and Star’s date at the country club for her before backing out when he realizes it’s way too much trouble to risk just for the sake of money and a chance to go out Colette.
* Smitten Teenage Girl: Subverted and deconstructed with Colette since everybody is starting to call her out on fixating over Danny out of a petty desire to hurt Star and her increasingly reckless Entitled Bitch behavior is making everyone realize she’s an unstable nutcase that they should avoid at all costs.
* So Last Season: Colette’s prior manipulation tactics of bribery and flirtation have stopped working on the A-Listers since they’re becoming increasingly wise to her true nature as a rotten Yandere due to her growing obsession with Danny and the creepy lengths she’s willing to go through like stalking him to New York while implying she plans to force him into a relationship after kidnapping him. The cool kids decide no amount of money or promises of a date will get them involved in any more of Colette’s crazy schemes to the point all the jocks have lost any interest in her.
* Sore Loser: Everyone is beginning to realize that Colette is fixated on Danny just because she doesn’t want to “lose” to Star when it comes to being popular with boys.
* Stating the Simple Solution:
* Ida and Sam tell the Mansons that they can at least try to appear more charitable to Eleanor to get membership into the country club by making some donations to a few noteworthy causes.
* Dash points out to Colette that if she really wants a boyfriend she should just date a guy who’s already available and actually wants to be her boyfriend like himself instead of wasting all her time getting rejected by Danny who wouldn’t be interested in her even if he wasn’t already dating Star because he clearly hates her guts. The fact Colette’s obsession with Danny is having a negative impact on both her popularity and relationship with her parents due to creeping everyone out only further proves Dash’s point that she’s far better off moving on from Danny and finding someone else, preferably one who actually will date her even if purely for her superficial beauty.
* Reginald makes it clear to Donovan that the only way he can get money is by working for it, especially since none of the other wealthy families will let him near their own daughters after finding out about his harassment of Star, not even the snobby Mansons and Beviers who tell him point-blank that they don’t want anything to do with him for being nothing but trouble.
* Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Jean-Luc, Kwan, and Dash spell out to Colette that constantly hounding a guy like Danny for a date and refusing to accept his rejections as well as the fact that he obviously hates her guts and already has a girlfriend who he dearly loves will make everyone rightfully question her sanity, especially since she stubbornly insists on causing trouble for everyone for months in some vain attempt to destroy a perfectly happy couple for her own selfish gratification and petty amusement at her stepsister’s expense.
* Sympathy for the Hero: Eleanor feels bad for Ida and Sam because of all the trouble Jeremy and his wife Pamela cause them.
* Tantrum Throwing: Everyone is beginning to see that Colette’s fixation with Danny is just a giant tantrum over being told “no” for the first time by a guy and she’s too entitled to handle rejection.
* Taught by Experience: After dealing with Colette’s unhealthy obsession with Danny for months, Jean-Luc and Stella are making plans to deal with her unacceptable behavior such as sending her to boarding school to get professional help and forbidding her from leaving home without their permission unless it’s for school so she can’t interfere anymore in Star and Danny’s relationship like by going to the country club today to try to ruin their date.
* Teen Are Monsters: Team Phantom, the A-Listers, and the Beviers are beginning to regard Colette as a creepy Danny-obsessed Yandere since her fixation with him is getting THAT disturbing and unacceptable, which isn’t helped by all the trouble she keeps causing around town.
* They Just Don’t Get It:
* It genuinely doesn’t occur to the Mansons that Eleanor values character much more than wealth because she likes Danny for his good nature and hates them for being annoying, immature jerks who only suck up for the sake of social climbing.
* Everyone is becoming as exasperated as Team Phantom by Colette’s obsession with Danny since no amount of rejections or failures will make her give up on him so The A-Listers are cutting ties with her to avoid being dragged into anymore of her pointless schemes to try to ruin his relationship with Star and the Beviers are planning on sending her to boarding school to receive professional help for her unstable behavior far away from Danny.
* Token Evil Teammate: Utterly deconstructed with Colette since her increasingly creepy behavior regarding her unhealthy obsession with Danny is making the A-Listers want to associate with her less and less over time to the point nothing can convince them to help her in anymore of her effective schemes to try to steal him from Star.
* Took a Level in Jerkass: Deconstructed to the extreme with Colette due to everyone becoming as fed up as Team Phantom is with her worsening instability and creepy fixation with Danny since the A-Listers are wanting less to do with her to the point they won’t aid her in anymore of her schemes to try to destroy his relationship with Star and the Beviers are going to send her away to boarding school to get professional help.
* Using You All Along: A unique but deconstructed case with Colette since it’s becoming obvious to the A-Listers especially to Kwan that she never valued Danny as anything but a tool to hurt Star and he makes a point that, for all her disgust towards Tucker, she’d harass him too as long as he was dating her stepsister. Also, the A-Listers are getting tired of Colette using them as minions in her schemes to try to break up the couple since their sick of her failures and the trouble they keep getting into, plus Colette's increasingly bitchy attitude is making them less willing to put up with her so they refuse to be involved with her anymore especially after becoming thoroughly creeped out by her growing Danny obsession.
* Vicarious Gold Digger: Jean-Luc makes it clear to the Mansons that he would rather set Colette up with a wealthy suitor who meets his elitist standards, but unlike Beatrice Traville he won’t force her to be with anyone, especially not a violent prick like Donovan Loadman regardless of his disinherit status.
* Villain Decay: After dealing with Colette’s growing fixation with Danny for months everyone is wising up to her true rotten nature since the A-Listers won’t help her in anymore of her schemes to try to destroy the Fenton boy’s relationship with Star regardless of her manipulations and the Beviers are taking steps to curb her unacceptable behavior by forbidding her from constantly interfering in Star’s dates with Danny and planning to send her to boarding school so she’ll get professional help far away from the object of her obsession.
* Villainesses Want Heroes: Very much deconstructed with Colette since her growing obsession with Danny is making everyone realize she's a villain because she's showing more and more of her cruel sociopathic nature over time by resorting to increasingly despicable methods to ruin his relationship with Star.
* Villainous Crush: Very much averted and deconstructed with Colette since her growing fixation with Danny is born out of an unhealthy sense of entitlement rather than affection and is only exposing her villainous nature to everyone due to how disturbing her obsessive behavior is.
* Wants to Be Hated: Deconstructed with Colette. It’s becoming obvious to the A-Listers and Beviers that Colette doesn’t actually care what Danny thinks of her as long as she can ruin his relationship with Star because she constantly ignores everyone’s warnings that she’s just fueling his deep loathing towards her by interfering in his relationships and she clearly just wants to make her stepsister miserable by taking away her boyfriend, as she has always done in the past, no matter how much he ends up hating her guts for it.
* What Does She See in Him?:
* The Mansons, Jean-Luc, Donovan Loadman, and two new Golden Guild employees Oliver and Kevin are boggled why Blue Bloods like Star or Sam would be interested in a middle-class boy like Danny.
* Jean-Luc, Donovan Loadman, and the Mansons can’t understand why rich girls like Sam or Colette would be interested in an average guy like Danny.
* Where Did We Go Wrong?: Ida loudly wonders how she could’ve failed as a parent for her son Jeremy to end up as a worse Upper-Class Twit than his deceased father ever was.
* Yandere:
* The Mansons and Beviers rightfully regard Donovan Loadman as this for his inability to accept rejection from Star and don’t want anything to do with him for it.
* The Beviers and A-Listers are beginning to realize Colette is this because her unhealthy obsession with Danny is becoming unacceptable since she refuses to give up on him after being rejected constantly for months now and won’t stop causing trouble for everybody in her pointless schemes aimed to ruin his relationship with her stepsister Star.
* You Are What You Hate: Jean-Luc points out to Donovan Loadman that he is no better than the lower classes by exhibiting the same unruly behavior that they were taught to expect from “commoners” and that he doesn’t deserve to be an elite for his unacceptable harassment of Star.

Forgotten:
* Accidental Hero: Mikey unintentionally helps an amnesiac Danny realize Colette is nothing but bad news when her cruel treatment of him makes Danny see what a horrible person she really is.
* Be Careful What You Wish For: Colette wanted Danny to pay attention to her and she accomplishes that by getting him to completely hate her guts WAY more than he already did by taking advantage of his amnesiac state to manipulate him into being with her while keeping him away from his loved ones to hog him all to herself. He pays her back by ditching her and helping Team Phantom dye her hair green.
* Because You Were Nice to Me: An amnesiac Danny is willing to give Star a chance because she’s being nicer than she was in his memories of her from her Beta Bitch days and he becomes more trusting of Team Phantom when he sees them risk their own lives to defend him from ghosts instead of ditching him like Colette did when Johnny 13 appeared.
* Beneath the Mask: Colette’s poor treatment of Mikey and worsening Control Freak behavior helps an amnesiac Danny gain a better understanding of her true rotten nature underneath her beauty and superficial charm.
* Can’t Take Criticism: Colette does not take it well when an amnesiac Danny calls her out on her “less than perfect” behavior by noting how much of an elitist Spoiled Brat she really is and her increasingly irritable/erratic behavior just makes him even more desperate to get far away from her.
* Evil Feels Good: Ember makes it clear she won’t give up her villainous ways because she enjoys being the way she is.
* False Friend:
* Colette admits in her thoughts that she never liked the A-Listers since she only joined them for the benefits and is ok with blackmailing them into letting an amnesiac Danny join or else she’ll destroy their cliche.
* It eventually becomes clear to an amnesiac Danny that Colette doesn’t actually care about him when she acts increasingly controlling and volatile towards him so he escapes from her.
* Hidden Disdain Reveal: Colette makes it clear in her thoughts that she never cared for the A-Listers since she only joined them for the advantages being in their cliche gave her and is alright with blackmailing them into letting an amnesiac Danny join or else she’ll ruin their group.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* While Tucker was only looking out for an amnesiac Danny, the Fenton boy is right to be mad at him for eavesdropping on him without his consent while he’s with Colette which even she mentally admits only gives an amnesiac Danny a reason to believe her lies that he can’t trust Team Phantom for spying on him without his knowledge.
* An amnesiac Danny rightfully calls Colette on acting like a total bitch to Mikey for no reason other than pure snobbery and elitism.
* An amnesiac Danny makes it clear he doesn’t like Star because he doesn’t have a reason to since he has memory loss which isn’t helped by the fact that any memories he does have of her are from her Beta Bitch days.
* Kick the Dog: Ember mocking Danny for having amnesia certainly doesn’t endear herself to him and makes her almost as revolting as Colette.
* A Lighter Shade of Black: Danny finds Ember just as unappealing as Colette for being just as uncaring and invasive towards him but doesn’t hate her as much because she’s not as repugnantly cruel and self-centered.
* Not Helping Your Case: Star admits her past bullying of Team Phantom doesn’t give an amnesiac Danny much reason to trust her or believe she had a Heel-Face Turn, especially since Colette’s manipulations have made him more wary of trusting strangers.
* Pet the Dog: A rather dark example with Colette since she plans on getting an amnesiac Danny to join the A-Listers by threatening them into letting him in or else she’ll destroy their clique with the blackmail material she has of them.
* Social Climber: Colette reveals in her thoughts that she only became an A-Lister for the perks and status otherwise she doesn’t care at all about the group since she’s fine with forcing them to include an amnesiac Danny into their clique under the threat of tearing them apart with the blackmail material she has on them if they refuse.
* Smug Snake: Colette vastly overestimates her ability to control an amnesiac Danny since even without his memories he hates her for being a terrible excuse for a human being, which isn’t helped by his returning memories of despising her for being an unbearable bitch, and flees from her when give the chance.
* Underestimating Intelligence: Colette thinks she can easily wrap an amnesiac Danny around her finger but his natural moral compass and returning memories of loathing her for her extremely rotten nature only cause him to hate her again for her horrible personality and he cuts ties with her.
* Villain Ball: Colette taking advantage of Danny when he has amnesia only results in him and Team Phantom despising her FAR more than they already did since she proved she has no lines she won’t cross to get what she wants and is fine with hurting them in her mad pursuit of the Fenton boy.
* Wants a Prize for Basic Decency: Colette is outraged that an amnesiac Danny still refuses to have anything to do with her after growing to hate her putrid excuse for a personality since in her mind any boy would be lucky to have a beautiful Blue Blood like her give them the time of day so he owes her his love and obedience.

Blackmailed:
* 0% Approval Rating:
* Beatrice’s relatives make it clear she’s the ONLY one who can stand the Beviers since they’ve hated them (with Pierre being the sole exception) from the beginning for being annoying snobs and can’t understand why Stella ever left her Nice Guy husband Johnathan and her actually loving daughter Star for a womanizing Slimeball like Jean-Luc who obviously doesn’t care about her and Colette who is a toxic manipulative Spoiled Brat that does nothing but cause trouble everywhere she goes.
* Kwan is hurt but understanding when he learns at Star’s birthday party that all her relatives despised him from the start for being an insufferable Dumb Jock that never deserved her, Kwan even acknowledges he brought it on himself for being a really lousy boyfriend, not to mention all the despicable things he did under Colette’s orders in her blackmailing scheme only further justifies their contempt of him.
* A Shared Suffering: Kwan sees Danny is just as miserable as he is from being forced to be Colette's slave so he forms an alliance with him to stop Colette for good by getting her arrested for her crimes and save Team Phantom.
* Accidental Misnaming: Cartland doesn’t bother to remember Team Phantom’s names since all he cares about is getting his money from Colette for helping her forcefully steal him from Star.
* Accidental Truth: Suzette and Giulia expect to like Danny if he proves to be nothing like Jean-Luc Bevier or Donovan Loadman and they do quickly become fond of his Nice Guy nature.
* Accomplice by Inaction: Jean-Luc admits to Stella that, unlike her, he knew all along Colette was bullying Star but didn’t care enough to intervene or talk about it (partly because he thought she already knew since it was obvious).
* Aesop Amnesia:
* Star sadly lampshades that she failed to learn anything from her past doomed relationships by forgetting that nothing good ever came from introducing a boy to her vile stepsister Colette who proceeded to steal them all and turned into a psychopathic Yandere completely obsessed with ruining Team Phantom when she failed to do the same to Danny because he proved immune to her “charms” due to being completely disgusted by her repulsive Spoiled Brat Alpha Bitch personality.
* Completely deconstructed in a really dark way with Kwan since it greatly disappoints Star that he’s helping Colette destroy Team Phantom just so she won’t ruin his reputation by exposing his embarrassing secrets, proving he’s learned absolutely nothing from her lectures and is still a Dirty Coward Peer-Pressured Bully who values his own popularity over doing the right thing even at the expense of others and himself. Even Kwan realizes he was an idiot for ever listening to Colette since she’s the reason he lost Star in the first place when he left Star for her after falling for her fake Nice Girl act during their first meeting and he’s still letting her wrap him around her finger to use him to hurt Star for her own sadistic amusement despite finally realizing her true awful nature all because he’s too scared of losing his popularity and being kicked out of the A-Listers since, as Colette puts it, he knows he would be nothing without them. Subverted in the end when Kwan realizes no amount of popularity is worth losing Star forever, ruining innocent lives, breaking the law, or helping a psychopath like Colette win after Star makes it clear she’ll never forgive him for this and he witnesses how absolutely miserable Danny is from being forced to be Colette’s eternal slave so he joins forces with Team Phantom to trick her into revealing her crimes to the world at Star’s birthday party while exposing his Embarrassing Hobbies himself to remove her hold over him and quits the A-Listers for good because he never wants to be treated like a lackey ever again.
* All for Nothing:
* Kwan deeply regrets ever leaving Star for Colette when he fell for her fake sweet French girl act after seeing how much of a reprehensible sociopath she is as it only led to him ruining any chance of being with Star since his ex-girlfriend hates his guts and he became a tool for the evil fake redhead to use to hurt her stepsister purely For The Evulz.
* Stella admits in the end that all her efforts to put Colette on the right path were never going to work because she’s nothing but an unhinged sociopathic Yandere who never cared about anyone except for herself and she was always going to go off the deep end regardless if she never met Danny or was sent to boarding school because she would’ve just found some other guy to obsess over.
* Allegorical Character: Sam points out to Team Phantom and their allies that Colette is a perfect example of why she hates Spoiled Brats that come from Old Money the most by being such a petty, sociopathic Entitled Bitch whose so prideful over being a Dude Magnet she turns into a Yandere Psychopathic Womanchild when Danny becomes the ONLY guy who won't have anything to do with her.
* Alliance of Revenge: A rare positive and oddly heartwarming example when Team Phantom join forces with Misty, Kwan, Skulker, and Ember to stop Colette for good by getting her arrested for her crimes when they all finally reach their limit with the sociopathic Alpha Bitch after she frames Team Phantom and blackmails Danny into being her boyfriend (slave).
* All-Loving Hero: Star is desperate to stop Colette partly because she knows that the evil Spoiled Brat will just go on to ruin way more lives for her own depraved amusement in the future and force Danny to help her now that she’s blackmailing him into being her boyfriend (slave). She also comes to forgive Kwan and accept Misty as a friend after they help Team Phantom clear their names, rescue Danny, and get Colette arrested for her crimes.
* Always Someone Better:
* Star’s relatives and Team Phantom certainly see her as this to her Brainless Beauty Womanchild mom Stella because she thankfully only has her good looks and not her lack of common sense.
* Even Stella acknowledges Johnathan is a much better person and father than Jean-Luc since he tries to set his daughter Star on the right path while Jean-Luc makes it crystal clear he doesn't care in the slighest about Colette's rotten behavior unless it makes their family look bad.
* Arbitrary Skepticism: Misty calls Colette out on refusing to believe she’s a sorceress (after using her magic to get revenge on the Spoiled Brat) by pointing out she already knows ghosts exists so she shouldn’t be surprised that so does magic.
* Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Jazz completely despises Colette for almost getting Team Phantom expelled and arrested by framing them as well as nearly costing her a chance at her dream school Yale.
* Attention Whore:
* Team Phantom lampshade that Colette is too narcissistic to be ok with someone else getting more attention than her, especially Star, so she NEEDS to be popular with Danny regardless of whatever it takes.
* Dash admits to the A-Listers that he’d only go out with Colette so he can reject her and because he can’t stand girls preferring Danny over him.
* Audience Surrogate: Kwan shares the readers disbelief that Colette hasn’t gotten any professional help from grownups for unhealthily obsessing over Danny for 6 months straight.
* Bad Liar: Jean-Luc points out it would’ve been obvious to anyone that Colette was bullying Star and Stella always believed her flimsy lies whenever she blamed Star as the instigator because she’s just THAT gullible.
* Badass in Distress: Danny has to rely on Team Phantom and their unexpected allies (Misty, Valerie, Kwan, Skulker, and Ember) to save him when Colette blackmails him into being her boyfriend (slave).
* Be Careful What You Wish For: Colette wanted all the boys in Amity Park to realize she only has eyes for Danny and gets that in the end because none of them want anything to do with her anymore after Team Phantom expose her crimes and true nature as a Danny-obsessed psycho at Star’s birthday party.
* Beware the Silly Ones: Misty tells Team Phantom that Wufong advised her to NEVER cross a fae since he was well aware of how dangerous Puck is despite being a flamboyant prankster.
* Birds of a Feather: Kwan becomes motivated to help Danny after realizing they’re not so different after all in the end since they’re both in love with Star and are victims of Colette’s cruelty who are completely miserable from being forced to do the evil French girl’s bidding, which includes having to hurt the girl (Star) they both love.
* Blaming the Victim: Kwan tries to alleviate his own guilt for being forced into helping Colette in her blackmailing scheme against Team Phantom by convincing himself Danny got into this mess himself because he didn’t cut ties with Star before meeting Colette when he should’ve (which is a somewhat valid point). He stops doing this after seeing how totally miserable Danny is as Colette’s slave and acknowledges it only got this far because he was too dumb and cowardly to stop her when he had the chance by reporting her and sets out to make things right by joining forces with Team Phantom to bring down Colette for good by tricking her into admitting her crimes in public.
* Boisterous Weakling: As soon as Colette's status, threats, and blackmails fail she proves to be nothing but a pathetic Dirty Coward who easily's pushed around by Team Phantom and their allies.
* Both Sides Have a Point: While Colette is right that Donovan is pathetic for getting himself and his friends disinherited, he retorts that so is she for preferring to waste all her time obsessing over stealing Danny from Star despite it being obvious even to Toadman that Danny can't stand her at all. The fact that Colette ends up arrested and disinherited for her crimes against Team Phantom only further proves Donovan's point.
* Boss's Unfavorite Employee: Mr. Radcliffe constantly insults Donovan because his laziness, ego, and constant whining make him completely insufferable.
* Brutal Honesty:
* Danny makes it crystal clear to Colette that agreeing to meet her was the biggest mistake he ever made after she proved to be an utterly repugnant excuse for a person who would quickly become Team Phantom’s biggest nuisance.
* Jack makes it clear to the other adults during the meeting at Casper High with Superintendant Baxter when Colette frames Team Phantom that she's much of a rotten Spoiled Brat his son Danny is FAR too good for her.
* After tricking Colette into exposing her crimes and true evil nature to the world, Danny bluntly tells her’s she’s the only thing that’s “sad and pathetic” about his life.
* Bullying a Dragon: No amount of threats, punishment, or bodily harm will make Colette leave Team Phantom alone and finding out about Danny's ghost powers only made her more driven to take him since she sees it as a chance to blackmail him into being her slave despite him being willing to use his abilities to hurt her even without causing physical harm.
* Call-Back: Danny blames Jean-Luc for his situation where his daughter Colette is blackmailing him into being her slave because that Rich Bastard raised her to be an even worse person than him and stubbornly refused Donovan Loadman's offer of an Arranged between himself and Colette in "Golden".
* Cassandra Truth:
* After being blackmailed by Colette into helping her destroy Team Phantom and make Danny hers by force, Kwan admits he shouldn’t have brushed off Danny and Star’s warnings about Colette being nothing but trouble as it was a massive bonehead move on his part because they made it crystal clear from the beginning that they wisely didn’t want anything to do with her especially since her increasingly unhinged behavior was making her a giant pain to everybody and he acknowledges in the end that Star was right that the A-Listers only make things worse by failing to stop a lunatic like Colette when they should’ve so he quits their cliche for good especially on account of him not wanting to be in a group that would associate with a monster like Colette in the first place.
* Colette warns Kwan that nobody will believe she forced him into helping her with her blackmailing scheme against Team Phantom due to his history of always going along with the A-Listers bullying out of peer-pressure should he try to expose her crimes and Star indeed does not believe him when she confronts him about his role in Colette’s schemes.
* As a result of being exposed as a compulsive lying Manipulative Bitch, nobody believes Colette’s accusation that Tucker broke into her house and hacked her computer to send her maternal figures invitations to Star’s birthday party that she stole so they can learn about her true sociopathic personality (and Tucker has no interest in confessing either).
* After Colette’s arrest, Stella admits she should've heeded everyone's valid complaints about Colette's worsening out of control behavior and that she should've sent her to boarding school a lot sooner instead of ignoring all the trouble she's been causing ever since she first arrived to Amity Park and stubbornly deluding herself into believing Colette was a good girl deep down who was capable of changing for the better through a mother's love.
* Children as Pawns: Discussed. Colette has delusions of using any superpowered kids Danny gives her as soldiers to conquer the world for her. Both Danny and Star are completely repulsed by the idea for many reasons and can barely hold back their vomit.
* Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Deconstructed with Colette as everyone point out she has no loyalty to anyone but herself so nobody is loyal to her in return since she has to use threats, bribes, and manipulation to get people to help her which only causes Danny and Kwan to betray her after deciding no punishment is worth letting her win and everyone turns on her after realizing what a monster she is with Yolanda only remaining by her side for the chance to get her dad's money.
* Conditioned to Be Weak: Discussed as Colette brags to Star that she’s going to “train” Danny into being obedient to her only through threats, punishment, blackmail, and emotional manipulation. Not that it was ever going to work, ghost powers or not, since Danny hates her way too much to ever even consider being her lackey and is just waiting for the right time to take her down for good with his allies help.
* The Corruptor: Jean-Luc’s ex-wives make it very clear it’s his own fault Colette turned into an even worse person than him after her crimes are exposed at Star’s birthday party.
* “Could Have Avoided This!” Plot:
* Team Phantom (especially Star) admit it would’ve been smarter to get rid of Colette sooner since it was obvious that her increasingly insane behavior was making her a huge problem, especially after she went completely off the deep end and tried to destroy them for good in “Empowered” when she accidentally acquired temporary ghost powers.
* To some extent the A-Listers (particularly Paulina) acknowledge it would have been better to report Colette’s increasingly insane behavior to the authorities since it was obvious she was getting worse, especially after she stalked Danny all the way to New York in “Traveled”.
* Distinction Without a Difference: When Colette protests Danny's accusation of her threatening Star into forcing her to give Colette her 16th birthday party she claims that all she did was “explain to her it would be in her best interests unless she wishes to suffer more". Danny just calls her pathetic.
* The Dog Bites Back:
* Kwan and Danny eventually reach their limit with Colette's monstrous actions and team up to get her arrested by tricking her into publicly revealing her crimes.
* Stella finally realizes the Beviers never cared about her or her loved ones so she punishes Colette for her crimes by permanently disinheriting her and taking away all her gifts as well as forcing Jean-Luc to sleep on the couch for a month and leaves him at the mercy of his ex-wives for contributing to Colette's crimes with his awful parenting.
* Dramatic Irony:
* Misty tells Team Phantom that Wufong didn’t believe anyone was dumb enough to make enemies of a fae like Vlad did with Puck.
* Yolanda doesn't know that the “Maddie” Vlad rejected her for years ago is the same “Maddie” who's Danny's mother (mostly because she didn't care enough to bother remembering her last name).
* Dumbass Has a Point:
* Even before Colette proved psychotic enough to blackmail Kwan into helping her ruin Team Phantom's lives by framing them he feared she was unhinged enough to actually try to murder them when she told him she was planning on getting them out of Danny's life forever, while Kwan doesn't know that's exactly what she did upon temporarily receiving ghost powers in "Empowered" or that her claims of Danny Fenton being Danny Phantom are true, the fact that her instability and unhealthy obsession with Danny has only grown a lot worse over time plus she's fine with spirefully revealing his secret identity in public in the hopes of him getting tortured or experimented on by the government as petty revenge for rejecting her one final time show Kwan's allegations of her not being above murder despite her insistence to the contrary are 100% spot-on.
* Superintendent Baxter is just as insufferably dimwitted as his nephew Dash but he is right that the Fentons ghost portal only contributes to the presence of evil ghosts in Amity Park.
* Pamela Manson might be something of a Brainless Beauty but she rightfully calls her husband Jeremy out on making things worse by picking a fight with the Fentons over some insults when Team Phantom is framed by Colette.
* After Colette’s crimes and true psychotic nature are exposed at Star’s birthday party, Stella of all people lampshades her stepdaughter was always a time bomb waiting to go off and meeting Danny changed nothing since it was only a matter of time until she met another boy to fixate over and unintentionally speed up the process.
* Dumbass No More: To Colette’s immense annoyance, Stella no longer falls for her lies after her father Jean-Luc reveals the full extent of her Manipulative Bitch and Big Sister Bully behavior towards Star over the years to Stella so she can’t weasel her way out of trouble after her crimes are exposed at Star’s birthday party which she mentally complains about when she sees that Stella has gotten smarter. This also applies to the rest of her maternal figures when they also witness Colette’s sociopathic nature at Star’s birthday party so they stop listening to anything she says and are determined to hold her accountable for her unacceptable actions.
* Embarrassing Hobby: Kwan reveals to everyone at Star’s birthday party that Dash has a secret teddy bear collection as payback for threatening him after he quit the A-Listers.
* Enemy Mine: Kwan begs Danny to let him help Team Phantom stop Colette for good.
* Entitled Bitch: Colette tells Team Phantom in the end that as far as she's concerned, her mother Suzette should always be open to spending time with her regardless of her own work and she shouldn't have to visit her in whatever "rundown" place she goes to for charity.
* Everyone Can See It:
* Even the A-Listers can see that Colette doesn’t actually like or care about Danny since it’s becoming obvious she’s only fixated with stealing him from Star because of her petty obsession with ruining Star’s life and her ego can’t stand a boy being interested in her stepsister instead of her.
* After her true nature is exposed when her crimes are revealed at Star’s birthday party, Colette cruelly but accurately points out to Stella that she’s the only one who is too naive to figure out that she’s nothing but another easily replaceable Trophy Wife to her father Jean-Luc since she clearly doesn’t matter to him anymore than his past lovers did and that Colette was just using her to satisfy her own materialistic desires since she clearly never had any actual regard for her stepmother's authority or feelings.
* Everyone Has Standards:
* Discussed as Danny doubts even Cujo would like the gross French food, snails and frog legs, that Colette forced him to eat on their “dates”. Team Phantom certainly share the sentiment.
* Sam tells everyone that Bludworth Youth Correctional Facility is the one place her Control Freak parents would never send her to get disciplined since they're worried it's too dangerous and she could get a broken leg there.
* Even Bullies Have Standards:
* Kwan can’t bring himself to violate Danny’s privacy so he refuses to look at any of the blackmail material Colette has of his secret identity and promises Team Phantom that he’ll get rid of all of it without peeking.
* Regardless of Paulina’s opinion of Team Phantom, she admits she’s glad they beat Colette because an obsessed psycho like her needed to be stopped and Danny would’ve been completely miserable trapped with someone as unhinged as her.
* Even Evil Has Standards:
* Even Wufong had more sense than Vlad since he knew it was a BAD idea to cross a fae like Puck and advised Misty to never make that mistake. She still follows this advice since she realizes he was correct to be cautious about fae.
* In the end, Yolanda voices her disdain to Colette of the stupidity of Superintendent Baxter and the staff of Casper High for easily believing her flimsy evidence to frame Team Phantom.
* Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Colette tells Star that she considered also "stealing" Danny Phantom from Paulina as a faithful partner and bodyguard after taking Danny Fenton, not considering that a superhero like the ghost boy justifiably wouldn’t even want to associate at all with someone as blatantly vile as her.
* Evil Feels Good: Colette makes it clear to Star that she relentlessly bullied her for years for mere amusement and she’s stealing Danny from her along with ruining Team Phantom’s lives just for fun.
* Evil Is Petty:
* Colette makes it crystal clear she’d prefer Danny be completely miserable with or without her than happy with Star or literally anyone but herself and she’s more than fine with ruining his life by exposing his secret identity to the world if he keeps rejecting her in the hopes he gets experimented on or dissected by some government agency in a lab because of his ghost powers, which she precedes to do out of petty spite after he rejects her one final time and exposes her crimes with Team Phantom's help at Star's birthday party.
* Part of the reason why Colette wants to ruin Valerie’s life along with Team Phantom’s is “for the crime of daring to put her lips on mon amore” out of jealousy for her dating Danny in the past.
* Eviler Than Thou: Unlike the A-Listers, Cartland and Yolanda have no problem helping Colette ruin Team Phantom’s lives for a payday and recruits them for this reason.
* Excellent Judge of Character:
* Team Phantom know Jean-Luc and the A-Listers are just spoiled, snooty jerks instead of sociopathic or genuinely evil like Colette so they don’t believe they would willingly help her with her blackmailing scheme.
* Team Phantom point out to Star that there’s no point in wondering if Danny would’ve been better off leaving her for Colette at the start because a All-Loving Hero Nice Guy like him would never have willingly dated someone as awful as Colette since he’d hate her as soon as she showed her true ugly personality, which he proved in “Forgotten” when he got amnesia and still didn’t want anything to do with her after a few hours for being an Alpha Bitch Control Freak that only treated him as property.
* Kwan admits Star’s relatives were right to hate him from the start for being an Insufferable Imbecile who was never good enough for her since he was a terrible boyfriend, and him helping Colette destroy Team Phantom just to save his own reputation only further proves their point.
* Richard isn’t at all taken aback by Colette’s sociopathic nature after her crimes are revealed at Star’s birthday party since he rightfully pegged her as nothing but trouble just like her Slimeball father Jean-Luc from day one.
* Ida isn’t the least bit surprised when Richard informs her of Colette’s crimes at Star’s birthday party because she’s well aware of how much of a rotten Spoiled Brat the fake redhead is.
* Exiled to the Couch: Stella plans to make Jean-Luc sleep on the couch for a whole month for being a callous jerk to Star and Danny, especially regarding Colette’s horrible treatment of them.
* Fat Idiot: Everyone finds Superintendent Baxter to be as much of an obnoxious moron as his nephew Dash and even Yolanda considers him "a tub of lard" who was dumb enough to fall for Colette's flimsy evidence to frame Team Phantom.
* Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence: Everyone makes it clear Colette only obsesses over Danny out of a petty desire to hurt Star and because her ego can’t handle rejection. She tries to justify her vile personality by claiming it’s her right as a Blue Blood to put her “inferiors” in their place but Team Phantom establish she’s just a rotten to the core sociopath who exists to only cause pain and misery to everyone she meets out of pure sadism.
* For Your Own Good: Suzette and Stella accept that Colette deserves to be punished and sent to reform school for all her crimes but try to hold onto the hope that she can still be redeemed after getting professional help.
* The Friend Nobody Likes: Ember tells Team Phantom that while she and Kitty have a Villainous Friendship, Penelope Spectra is just an “acquaintance”.
* The Gadfly: At Star’s birthday party, Puck secretly supplies Pierre with cake that he pelts Colette with after all her crimes are exposed by Team Phantom and Kwan.
* Good Is Not Dumb:
* While Star’s relatives think Danny left her for Colette like her past lovers did when she introduces Danny as her boyfriend at Star’s birthday party, they can’t help but be extremely suspicious when they see how utterly miserable he looks when he’s with her and realize something is seriously wrong with the situation that they can’t see until Team Phantom exposes the Evil French brat’s blackmailing scheme.
* Team Phantom turns over all their evidence of Colette’s crimes including the fake photos Kwan gave them, the watch she was planning on framing Jazz for stealing, and the recordings Chris and Star took of her threatening them and admitting her crimes (all while keeping Danny’s powers a secret).
* Godzilla Threshold:
* Team Phantom are so low options on how to stop Colette when she carries out her blackmailing plan that they turn to their enemies Skulker, Ember, Misty, and Kwan for help.
* Tucker considers using the Scarab Specter as a backup plan to stop Colette’s blackmailing scheme.
* Hatred Makes You Dumb: Donovan Loadman still stubbornly refuses to let go of his grudge with Star and Danny despite even his friends pointing out to him that he’ll get into even more serious trouble if he violates the restraining order the couple have against him.
* Hidden Depths: To Danny’s surprise, Johnny 13 reveals he DOES have standards when it comes to girls because he admits he’s grown to despite Colette too much for being a sociopathic brat to care about her beauty and would never even consider asking her out, thus proving he puts more value on a girl’s personality than her looks.
* History Repeats: To Star’s immense disappointment, Kwan is once again letting Colette use him as a tool to make her life miserable in her insane plan to frame Team Phantom to get them out of Danny’s life for good because he values his reputation too much to risk Colette exposing his embarrassing secrets.
* Horrible Judge of Character:
* Kwan, Chris, and the rest of Star’s family admit they were completely wrong about Danny for ever thinking he was the type of guy who would cheat on Star or willingly associate with someone as blatantly vile as his most hated Abhorrent Admirer Colette who does nothing but abuse and make his life unbearably miserable after realizing the full scope of her psychopathic behavior so they apologize.
* While the rest of Amity Park have wised up about Colette’s rotten nature, they still dismiss her as just a harmless Spoiled Brat and are left utterly horrified when the full extent of her sociopathy is exposed after Team Phantom reveal her crimes at Star’s birthday party.
* Hypocrite:
* Kwan tries to avoid admitting his own guilt for being forced into helping Colette with her blackmailing scheme against Team Phantom by telling himself Danny got into this mess because he didn’t break things off with Star before running into Colette when he should’ve (which is a somewhat valid argument). He quits doing this after seeing how totally miserable Danny is as Colette’s slave and admits things only escalated this far because he was too much of a cowardly idiot to stop her when he had the chance at the cost of his popularity even when he obviously should’ve reported her worsening stalkerish behavior to the adults especially after she followed Team Phantom all the way to New York in “Traveled” and sets out to fix his mistake by joining forces with Team Phantom to take down Colette for good by tricking her into admitting her crimes at Star’s birthday party.
* Richard doesn’t approve of his grandchildren insulting others like Kwan behind their backs regardless of how right they’re but he has no problem insulting the Beviers and Donovan Loadman when they’re not around.
* Jean-Luc is too apathetic to bother getting involved in others problems like when Stella’s trying to clear up Team Phantom's names but he expects her to help him when his ex-wives furiously confront him at the country club for making Colette a sociopath with his incompetent parenting after her true nature nature is exposed, which she refuses as it's his problem.
* Colette claims to be disturbed at the thought of resorting to murder to achieve her goals and Skulker’s plans to mount Danny as a pelt on his wall but she makes it crystal clear she cares WAY less about the Fenton boy than the evil ghost hunter ever did since she insanely tells Star that she’ll make Danny love her even if it destroys them both and has no problem completely ruining his life if he refuses to date or simply obey her to the point she spitefully reveals his secret identity after he rejects for the final time at Star’s birthday party in the hopes he’s dissected and experimented on by the government or ghost hunters.
* Colette snaps at Team Phantom whenever they insult her father Jean-Luc but she has no problem with her maternal figures badmouthing him and does the same thing just to manipulate them into giving her whatever she wants.
* When being confronted by Team Phantom for the last time, Colette calls Sam a disgrace to her rich family which doesn’t hold any water at all coming from a monstrous Spoiled Brat who ruined her own wealthy family’s proud name with her despicable crimes over something as petty as rejection from a boy for the first time and manipulates her relatives for her own selfish gain without a shred of remorse to the point her father Jean-Luc makes it crystal clear she’s nothing but an embarrassment who he will disinherit for good in favor of making her infant brother his sole heir if she keeps causing trouble at reform school and her maternal figures cut her off for good.
* Hypocrisy Callout:
* Danny calls Colette out for claiming to want a relationship yet ignores all the guys who actually want to date her purely for her looks in favor of wasting all her time obsessing over him just because her fragile ego can’t handle that he doesn’t want anything to do with her since even she knows that the only way she can get him to spend any time with her is by forcing him to date her.
* Colette considers violence barbaric but Team Phantom point out she's a major Spoiled Brat who lashes out whenever she's denied like physically abusing Danny for rejecting her again and attacking Team Phantom when they ruin her blackmailing plan.
* Colette considers Danny ungrateful for turning on her despite promising him a wealthy lifestyle if he becomes her boyfriend but he angrily and rightfully points out that, even ignoring the fact he always hated her for guts for being a horrible excuse for a person, she FORCED him to be with her by promising to ruin Team Phantom's lives and constantly mistreated him by threatening to punish his loved ones if he didn't obey or even please her so of course he takes the first chance to get her out of his life for good by getting her arrested for her crimes especially since it's obvious even to Paulina that being stuck with a total psycho like her is a Fate Worse than Death.
* Everyone calls Colette out for thinking her wealthy Blue Blood status makes her entitled to Danny regardless of his constant rejections of her for her irredeemably rotten attitude and considering him ungrateful for getting her arrested for her crimes with even Jean-Luc making it clear she's nothing but an ungrateful Spoiled Brat for being completely unapologetic about all the trouble she causes her own family despite all their spoiling of her since her crimes have utterly ruined the Beviers reputation in high society.
* Hypocrisy Excuse: When Sam expresses her hatred of rich people to her allies when Colette resorts to despicable lengths to get them out of Danny's life for good by framing them Valerie reminds her that she's wealthy herself only for Sam to clarify that her grandma Ida is rich and her parents mooch off her by refusing to get jobs out of pride as they view themselves as too good to work like regular people while Sam actually plans to make something of her life.
* I Hate Past Me:
* After Jean-Luc makes it clear to Stella that she was the ONLY one too oblivious to notice Colette’s bullying of Star all these years it causes her to regret being an even bigger failure of a parent than she thought she was for being blind to Colette’s rotten nature and not protecting Star since she easily believed the fake redhead’s lies that made herself out to be the victim no matter how incredibly flimsy they were.
* All of Jean-Luc’s ex-wives deeply regret ever being gullible enough to be fooled by the Beviers, Suzette in particular wishes she never let her parents pressure her into marrying Jean-Luc just because they were both aristocrats since she only found out how much of a rotten Sleazeball he is underneath his fake gentleman act when she saw how much of a lousy husband he was.
* I Warned You: Defied. After Colette’s crimes are exposed at Star’s birthday party, Stella realizes that everyone was right all along about Colette’s character as an irredeemable sociopathic brat and expects Johnathan to smugly tell her, "I told you so". Johnathan refuses, pointing out how she’s already been through enough and he doesn’t want to kick her while he’s down even though as she points out it’s never stopped him before but he counters that he’s tired of fighting her all the time, and also reminds her that tonight is about Star and celebrating her 16th birthday.
* Insane Troll Logic:
* Kwan is BEYOND exasperated by Colette’s delusional belief that she can make Danny love her by getting him away from his loved ones since the Fenton boy has made it crystal clear he doesn’t want anything to do with her at all even if he were single.
* After her crimes are exposed, Colette keeps stubbornly insisting that Danny Fenton is Danny Phantom, acting as if it’ll somehow get her off the hook for all her despicable actions.
* Colette’s maternal figures make it bluntly clear to her that having Jean-Luc financially compensate them for the money she swindled out of them for her revenge scheme against Team Phantom is NOT going to make everything better because she needs to be punished for all her crimes.
* When Team Phantom sneaks into Bludworth Academy to intimidate Colette into backing off one last time, Danny is beyond annoyed by Colette’s delusional and entitled nature for thinking he came to save her or that he’d want anything to do with her after everything she put him and others through out of petty sadism and sheer sociopathic self-entitlement.
* Insufferable Imbecile:
* Everyone considers Superintendent Baxter as much of an obnoxious moron as his nephew Dash and even Yolanda considers him "a tub of lard" who was stupid enough to easily fall for Colette's flimsy evidence to frame Team Phantom.
* Everyone regards Stella as this for her inability to figure out that the Beviers are horrible people and always believing Colette’s lies regardless of how flimsy they’re, even Jean-Luc is frustrated that he has to spell it out to her that Colette has been bullying Star and manipulating her to turn her against her daughter all these years after finding out she really was THAT gullible enough to believe all of Colette's lies no matter how bad they were.
* Kwan finds out at Star’s birthday party that her whole family always hated him for being a stereotypical Dumb Jock who was obviously not good enough for her and he even acknowledges that their criticisms are completely valid since he was a lousy boyfriend along with all the stuff he’s done under Colette’s orders.
* Irony:
* Colette is at her cruelest in this story (not counting “Empowered”) but it’s the only time she does anything remotely nice for Danny such as defending him from Toadman’s insults by pointing out all his redeeming qualities that the Loadman Spoiled Brat sorely lacks and forcing Dash to leave him alone under the threat of blackmail so he’ll stop physically bullying Danny.
* Danny lampshades that Colette ignores all her admirers because she obsesses over him for NOT being one of them.
* Colette was all too happy to destroy Team Phantom in “Empowered” after getting ghost powers just to claim Danny but here murder is the ONLY method she refuses to resort to in her mad quest to steal Danny from Star and get Team Phantom out of the way for good (not that it stops her from revealing Danny’s secret identity out of petty spite in the hopes of him being dissected or experimented on after he rejects her for the final time in the end).
* Colette forced Kwan to help her in her scheme to ruin Team Phantom because she found him to be the most malleable and easy to manipulate of the A-Listers but he ends up being the cause of her ultimate downfall (or at least being a major) by turning on her when he helps Team Phantom expose her crimes to the world after getting completely sick of her vile behavior.
* Kwan only reluctantly helped Colette in the beginning with her blackmailing scheme because she threatened to deprive him of his A-Lister status by destroying his popularity through publicly exposing his embarrassing hobbies but after turning on her when he gets sick of her irredeemably rotten personality he admits his embarrassing secrets to everyone himself to remove her leverage and publicly quits the A-Listers himself despite them still being willing to keep him as a member even after learning about his embarrassing hobbies because Colette unintentionally made him realize popularity isn’t worth losing Star forever or associating with people that only regard him as Dumb Muscle and would hang out with a monster like Colette.
* Kwan was the first A-Lister Colette manipulated as part of her petty obsession with hurting Star but he ends up causing her downfall by helping Team Phantom expose her crimes to everyone in order to save Star.
* Colette smugly told Kwan nobody would believe his claims of being blackmailed by her with his embarrassing secrets into helping her destroy Team Phantom due to his history of being a Peer-Pressured Bully should he try to expose her crimes, but he does it anyway with Team Phantom's help after deciding popularity doesn’t matter as much as stopping her and nobody believes anything she says, especially not about Danny Fenton having ghost powers since Team Phantom destroyed all her evidence of it, after realizing how much of a sociopathic Manipulative Bitch she really is and as Chief Boyle points out no one has any reason to believe any proof she has after she publicly admitted to framing Team Phantom with photoshopped evidence while Kwan is off the hook when Team Phantom confirm she was forcing him to do her bidding by blackmailing him.
* Yolanda has much more in common with Colette than her parents or any of her stepmoms and they can’t stand each other for it as they only team up to use each other for mutual personal gain.
* Stella admits that in her mission to be a better mother to Colette than her previous maternal figures she only unknowingly became just as clueless, gullible, overindulgent, and ineffective as her predecessors because she learned FAR too late how much of a monstrous Spoiled Brat Colette is.
* It’s All About Me
* Star furiously calls Kwan out on still being a pathetic Dirty Coward who only cares about popularity since he’s willing to help Colette break the law and ruin innocent lives like Team Phantom’s just to protect his own reputation.
* Colette is mad at her father Jean-Luc because his apathetic nature is causing HER problems for a change when Stella tells her that he nonchalantly revealed the full extent of her manipulative behavior and bullying of Star over the years so she can’t lie her way out of trouble like she always does when Team Phantom exposes all her crimes at Star’s birthday party.
* It’s All My Fault: Downplayed with Danny but he bluntly tells the Beviers it was a huge mistake on his part to ever agree to Star's request to meet them since they're the worst people he has ever had the misfortune of meeting, especially Colette who became his biggest pain since day one and only got MUCH worse over time.
* Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Team Phantom point out to Colette that despite all her harping about being abandoned by her biological mother Suzette, she is far from daughter of the year herself because she didn’t bother to put any effort into spending time with her mom since she never revealed her true feelings or used her father’s vast resources to go see her and even went as far as to turn down her mom’s offers of joining her on her charity work out of pure elitism and snobbery since she doesn’t respect her mother’s work or even her because she’s just as fine with manipulating, lying to, and exploiting Suzette for her own selfish benefit as she is with her stepmoms.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Donovan makes it clear to Colette she’s completely wasting her time chasing after Danny because he’s already dating Star and even he sees that the Fenton boy doesn’t want anything to do with her out of hatred.
* While Star was only guessing at the time, she is right that Stella isn’t Colette’s favorite stepmother because she doesn’t value her anymore than she does Jean-Luc’s previous wives.
* While Star had a very low opinion of Colette’s previous maternal figures before meeting them, she was right on the money when she assumed that they left Jean-Luc on account of him being a shameless womanizing Slimeball.
* Danny is more painfully blunt than Jerkass but he rightfully points out to Colette that she’s nowhere near as popular as she believes herself to be because her horrible excuse for a personality makes her TOO unbearable for even the shallow, snobby A-Listers to put up with anymore and the only way she can even get him to associate with her at all is by forcing him through threats and blackmail. Plus, the fact that Team Phantom’s enemies (including Kwan when he eventually decides no amount of punishment is worth letting a monster like Colette get away with her crimes) are working with them to stop her for good out of a personal grudge especially for her unforgivable treatment of Danny and even the A-Listers figure out she’s forcing him to date her so they decide to kick her out of their clique along with turning her over to the cops if they find proof of her crimes, proves his point that she’s hated FAR more than even she realizes.
* Jack insults Colette by bluntly stating his son Danny is MUCH too good for a pathetic Spoiled Brat like herself.
* Both Kwan and Star admit Danny was the Only Sane Man at Casper High for being the first guy to realize at the beginning how much of a troublesome psychopath Colette was underneath her beauty and superficial charm, so he wisely didn't want anything to do with her.
* Star motivates Team Phantom to speed up their mission to stop Colette by pointing out Danny must be reaching his limit with being forced to be her miserable slave and if they don’t put an end to her for good she’ll just go on to ruin WAY more lives for her own depraved amusement, which she’ll likely make Danny help her with.
* Star is rightfully enraged at Kwan for helping Colette destroy Team Phantom just because she's blackmailing him with his embarassing secrets not just because he's helping her break the law and it shows he's still the same Dirty Coward who folds under peer-pressure and only cares about popularity but also because she has MUCH more to lose than him since Colette is trying to take away her friends, boyfriend, future, and freedom by framing Team Phantom for crimes they didn't commit as well as Danny being forced to be her miserable little slave for the rest of his life while all he has to lose is his reputation and A-Lister status.
* Stella is justifiably furious with Jean-Luc for removing her contact information from Colette's school file without even telling her because he felt she shouldn’t be bothered with it since it wasn’t his call to make and Colette is her stepdaughter, so if she gets into or causes any trouble then it DOES become her concern as she’s both their responsibility.
* When Colette whines about Kwan and Danny “betraying” her by exposing her crimes at Star’s birthday party they bluntly remind her that they were never on her side to begin with because they hated her guts with a burning passion for her repugnant personality and she forced them into obeying her by blackmailing them until they reached their limit with her insane behavior and decided to team up to get rid of her for good so she’d stop ruining everyone’s lives by being such an irredeemable harpy. Even before that Star pointed out on several occasions (once to Colette’s face) that it was only a matter time before Danny got completely sick of Colette and turn on her, the fact he was eager to team up with his enemies to take her down for good only further proves Star’s point.
* Chief Boyle makes it clear to Colette that nobody believes her claims or evidence of Danny Fenton being Danny Phantom after she publicly admitted to framing Team Phantom with photoshopped images so they have no reason to believe her evidence of the Fenton boy is anymore real than the ones she made it against his friends.
* After Colette’s crimes are exposed, Richard comments that Colette’s despicable behavior shouldn’t come as a surprise in the slightest to anyone because she’s always been nothing but trouble just like her Slimeball Rich Bastard father Jean-Luc.
* Kwan acknowledges that Star was right for wanting nothing to do with the A-Listers for being awful friends especially when they proved to be rotten/clueless enough to hang out with someone as blatantly vile as Colette and that he was a moron for not realizing sooner.
* Suzette admits that Team Phantom weren’t wrong to assume the worst of her before they met her since she knows what unpleasant snobs Jean-Luc and his parents are so they were correct to assume that It Runs in the Family when it comes to cruel elitism, even though they weren’t aware it only comes from Jean-Luc’s family.
* Eleanor isn’t wrong to think that Colette invited the Mansons (even though it was really Tucker not that he’ll ever admit it) to Star’s birthday party that she stole just rub it in that she stole the boy Sam liked.
* Team Phantom don’t waste any time pointing out how extremely flimsy and pathetic Colette’s Freudian Excuse is over her mother and former stepmothers not being around since she’d rather waste all her time and money harassing a group of innocent teenagers that have nothing to do with her issues and want nothing to do with her anyway over some incredibly petty one-sided rivalry just to satisfy her fragile easily wounded ego than actually make an effort to spend time with any of her maternal figures despite possessing the free time and resources for it.
* Join or Die: Colette threatens not only to ruin the lives of Danny’s loved ones but to also expose his secret identity as Danny Phantom to the world if he refuses to be her boyfriend (well, more accurately her slave) because she knows it’ll make him a target for ghost hunters and government agencies who will either imprison or experiment on him. She tries to make good on her threat in the end when he rejects for the final time at Star’s birthday party but nobody believes her about Danny Fenton being the ghost boy after witnessing her true nature as a sociopathic compulsive liar and Team Phantom gets rid of all her evidence plus Misty uses her magic to create a fake Danny Phantom to fight Ember McLain in a mock battle to convince everyone that Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom are two different people.
* Karmic Jackpot: Team Phantom agree to let bygones be bygones with Kwan and help him avoid legal consequences by speaking in his defense for his role in the frame job as thanks for helping them put Colette away for good in the end.
* Karmic Shunning:
* Jean-Luc brings up the time Star ignored Stella for a whole month as punishment for taking Colette’s side when she shaved her head because she easily believed Colette’s lies about it being Star’s fault.
* Jean-Luc is incredibly furious with Colette after her arrest when news of her crimes makes their family into pariahs in high society.
* Sam refuses to speak to her parents or even be in the same room with them after Colette is arrested.
* Kick the Dog:
* Jean-Luc insults Danny’s aunt Alicia for her “plain” looks which Stella doesn’t appreciate after the effort she made to help her with the Beatrice situation in “Visited”.
* Star calls Kwan out on this for helping Colette ruin Team Phantom’s lives through illegal and extremely underhanded means just to protect his own reputation and status as an A-Lister when Colette threatens to publicly expose his embarrassing secrets.
* Know When to Fold 'Em:
* The A-Listers completely refuse to get involved anymore in Colette’s schemes to ruin Star and Danny’s relationship no matter how much she pays or manipulates them since her unhealthy fixation with the Fenton boy has become WAY too creepy for them to tolerate anymore especially after she failed them all the way to New York in “Traveled” and even Dash realizes no amount of money is worth risking getting into trouble so she has to blackmail Kwan into helping her by threatening to reveal his embarrassing hobbies to everyone.
* Kwan makes it clear to Colette that, unlike her, he is able to take rejection since he's given up on taking Star from Danny or convincing her to rejoing the A-Listers after realizing she's moved on and is a lot happier with him.
* Even Wufong knew better than Vlad to antagonize a fae like Puck and warned Misty never to make that mistake, even she admits he was right.
* After Colette is arrested in the end, Stella completely gives up on defending her stepdaughter from everyone's insults and criticisms since she knows nothing can excuse or justify her crimes.
* Lack of Empathy: Jean-Luc doesn’t care how miserable Colette will be at Bludworth Academy because all that matters to him is making sure she doesn’t humiliate their family again after her crimes are exposed by becoming a proper member of high society.
* Laser-Guided Karma:
* Jean-Luc reminds Stella of the time Star gave her the silent treatment for a whole month as payback for siding with Colette when she shaved half her head just because she easily fell for her lie about Star being the instigator of their fighting.
* Kwan is deeply regretful for being too dumb to realize sooner how much of an utter monster Colette truly is despite her worsening erratic behavior and out of control obsession with Danny which he pays the price for by being blackmailed by her into helping her ruin Team Phantom’s lives. After Star grows to completely hate him for once again being pathetic enough to let Colette use him as a pawn to hurt others when she finds out about his role in the evil Spoiled Brat’s schemes, he admits it was his own fault for losing the girl he loved forever by being a Dirty Coward Peer-Pressured Bully who’s too spineless to do the right thing like report the Bevier brat to the authorities or stand up even for himself at the expense of his reputation because, as Colette mockingly pointed out, he knows he’s nothing without his popularity so he lets the cool kids use him as a Dumb Muscle lackey.
* After hearing Star’s relatives admit they always hated him for being a complete idiot who never deserved her just like her father Johnathan, Kwan sadly acknowledges he completely brought it on himself for being a moronic Jerk Jock that was a horrible boyfriend to Star and all the despicable things he did under Colette’s orders only further proves they were right all along to despise him from the start.
* Predictably, nobody believes Colette when she tells everyone Danny Fenton is Danny Phantom after Team Phantom expose her crimes and true nature as a manipulative sociopath, which isn’t helped by them getting rid of all the evidence she had on Danny and as Chief Boyle points out no one has a reason to believe any proof she has after she publicly admitted to framing his friends with photoshopped evidence.
* Colette tries to get Team Phantom expelled from school by framing them for crimes they didn’t commit but Principal Ishiyama immeditely expels her when her crimes are revealed at Star's birthday party.
* Colette damaged Coach Tetslaff’s car so she can frame Team Phantom for it and while Ember was fake-fighting Misty’s copy of Danny Phantom she ended up destroying the car Jean-Luc bought Colette for her birthday, much to her despair and Team Phantom’s joy.
* Colette stole Star’s birthday party as one final act of petty spite but she gets arrested when her crimes are exposed there and her parents cancel her own birthday party along with taking away all her presents as punishment.
* Lesser of Two Evils:
* Danny prefers Ember’s Forceful Kisses over Colette’s, but he still makes it crystal clear Star is the only girl for him.
* Team Phantom know that if Colette was only threatening to expose Danny's secret identity he wouldn't give in to her demands since he'd rather reveal his superhero identity to the world himself and deal with the consequences than suffer Colette's presence for one second. This is proven true when Danny stops caring if Colette tells anyone his secret after Team Phantom exposes her crimes since nobody believes anything a two-faced compulsive liar like her says.
* After growing completely fed up with Colette's psychopathy, Kwan joins forces with Team Phantom to expose her crimes after deciding letting her get away with hurting innocent people isn't worth keeping his popularity and admits his embarassing secrets to everyone himself at Star’s birthday party to remove her leverage against him since he's become fine with losing his A-Lister status and being punished for his role in her schemes if it means stopping her for good.
* A Lighter Shade of Black:
* Danny lampshades to Colette in the end that his ghostly enemies are FAR better people than she ever was since they were willing to save him from her despite hating his guts, especially since they despise her WAY more than they ever did Team Phantom because she’s just THAT much of an irredeemable excuse of a person.
* Downplayed as while Yolanda is willing to team up with Colette for personal gain, she’s just a greedy con artist who only cares about money instead of a petty sociopathic monster obsessed with ruining peoples lives For the Evulz like her and justifiably considers Colette insane for her delusional obsession with Danny.
* Like a Son to Me: Ida explains to the Mansons that Sam is close with the Fentons because they treat her like family by accepting her for who she is and don’t try to control or change her since they know nothings wrong with her.
* Love Martyr: Suzette refuses to give up on Colette no matter how much of an unrepentant sociopathic brat she is or how much their connection damages her reputation.
* Love Redeems: Kwan eventually realizes that Star matters more to him than popularity or Colette’s threats after seeing how completely miserable Team Phantom’s lives are because of Colette and teams up with them to get Colette arrested by exposing her crimes.
* Loving Bully: VERY darkly deconstructed with Colette who flat-out bullies Danny into dating her as well as be her slave with threats and blackmail as well as resorting to punishments and physical violence whenever he upsets her, which is realistically portrayed as not being loving in any way, shape, or form since it’s rightfully regarded as the possessive behavior of an abusive Control Freak that only regards him as a trophy she feels entitled to.
* Lust Makes You Dumb: All Colette achieves in her mad quest to claim Danny is ruining her own life after her crimes are exposed and she gets arrested with everyone rightfully regarding her as an evil psycho.
* Machiavelli Was Wrong: Team Phantom acknowledge that their greatest strength is having each other but Colette has no one but herself to depend on since her minions Yolanda and Cartland only care about getting her money while Kwan and Danny have to be blackmailed into obeying her which bites her big time in the end when the latter two decide to team up to bring her down for good after becoming thoroughly sick of her irredeemably evil behavior.
* Manchild:
* Everyone regards Jean-Luc as this especially when he still refuses to accept in the end that his lousy parenting made Colette a monster. Chief Boyle calls him an idiot, Johnathan gives him a “The Reason You Suck” Speech, and Jack lampshades he’s nothing but a “spoiled man baby”.
* Star finds Sam’s parents even less mature than Paulina because they act more like spoiled children than adults.
* Marry for Love: Jeremy and Pamela married for this reason as they ignored their parents wishes and other potential suitors to be with each other.
* Meaningless Villain Victory: Discussed. Star spells out to Colette that even if she does succeed in sending Team Phantom to jail after framing them she won't be able to keep Danny just because she stole him from her and he never liked her to begin with so she's just fueling his hatred with her cruel personality until he eventually gets fed up and ditches her. Considering Danny is eager to team up with Skulker, Ember, and Kwan to become free of Colette first chance he gets, Star definitely had a point.
* Misery Builds Character: Kwan becomes a lot more sympathetic towards Team Phantom (especially Danny and Star) after being blackmailed by Colette into being her minion since he finally sees how truly despicable she is and the torment she puts them through on a regular basis for her own twisted amusement. He eventually works up the nerve to help Team Phantom put Colette away for good and leave the A-Listers after realizing that his fixation with popularity almost ruined his own life and brought him nothing but misery.
* Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: The A-Listers at first just don’t want to help Colette in anymore of her insane schemes to interfere in Danny’s relationship with Star when her obsession becomes too creepy for their tastes but after reaching their limit with her unstable Alpha Bitch personality when she starts secretly blackmailing Danny into dating her they eventually decide to kick her out of their group and report her to the police if they find any evidence of her engaging in illegal activity because they don’t want anything to do with a criminal.
* Monster Protection Racket: When Colette gets arrested at Star’s birthday party after Team Phantom expose her crimes she spitefully tries to convince the police that Danny Fenton is Danny Phantom and that he sets up the ghost attacks on Amity Park to stop them and make himself look like a hero. The police (especially Chief Boyle) rightfully don't listen to a word she says after seeing how much of a delusional Compulsive Liar she really is (especially since Team Phantom already got rid of all her evidence of Danny’s secret identity) and because they're disgusted by the fact that she's so shallow and greedy she thinks people would only perform heroics out of entirely self-serving reasons like fame and wealth.
* Moral Myopia:
* Colette whines about Kwan and Danny betraying her when they team up to expose her crimes at Star’s birthday party, this is despite the fact that she's a chronic backstabber with no real loyalty to anyone but herself who’s been blackmailing them into going along with her insane demands and threatening them to remain loyal to her by promising to expose their secrets (and in Danny’s case ruining his loved ones lives even more by framing them for more crimes not that she ever planned on keeping her promise since she was going to have them arrested anyway after she dragged Danny back with her to live in Paris).
* Colette is furious that Kwan conspired with Team Phantom to expose her crimes at Star’s birthday party but they bluntly retort they’re just giving her a bitter taste of her own medicine for everything she put them through since scheming, undermining, and ruining people’s lives are practically second nature to her.
* Nausea Fuel:
* Sam is still grossed out over having to kiss Dash to free Danny from Ember’s love song and refuses to tell anyone about it.
* Misty is grossed out when she uses her powers to read Colette’s mind after she’s sent to reform school and becomes disgusted by how depraved her thoughts are to the point she considers her WAY worse than any of the dark wizards in her own family and feels the need to scrub her brain clean.
* Nemesis Magnet: Danny lampshades Colette is this by being such an irredeemable sociopathic Rich Bitch that she made EVERYONE hate her guts since Team Phantom, their allies, their enemies, the A-Listers, and practically everybody in Amity Park want her out of their lives forever to the point she has to threaten him just to get him to spend time with her, the A-Listers plan to kick her out and have her arrested after her creepy fixation with Danny becomes WAY too disturbing, ghost villains and human allies join forces with Team Phantom to expose her crimes to the world, and the Beviers send her to reform school after she’s arrested.
* Neutral No Longer: Downplayed but the A-Listers stop ignoring Colette’s unstable behavior after finally becoming sufficiently creeped out by her unhealthy obsession with Danny when she stalks him all the way to New York in “Traveled” and decide to kick her out of their group along with get her arrested if they learn she broke to steal Danny from Star because they don’t want anything to do with a criminal. Too bad it’s too little too late.
* Never My Fault:
* Kwan as always refuses to accept it was his lousy treatment of Star and the A-Listers unpleasant attitudes that made Star hate them and quit the group as he continues to blame Danny for turning her against her friends, which Star and even Colette call him out on for ignoring that he's a Peer-Pressured Bully who kisses up to the A-Listers out of fear of becoming unpopular. He gets over it by the end by accepting the Travilles critisms of him being a huge idiot who was clearly never good enough for her and acknowledging that Danny is a far superior boyfriend for going to great lengths to protect her from Colette.
* When Colette protests that she didn’t do anything to Misty to deserve being trapped by her magic she retorts that, even ignoring all the stuff Colette forgot she did in “Empowered”, she still did plenty by being a horrible bully and Misty is still peeved at her for her “Rice Breath” insult.
* Ida calls Sam’s parents out on making excuses for the poor way they’ve been handling their daughter being framed by Colette instead of learning from it and becoming better parents to mend their relationship with Sam.
* No Accounting for Taste:
* Kwan loudly asks why he ever dated Colette when she shows how much of a psychotic Yandere she is by forcing him to help her destroy Team Phantom’s lives merely to spite Star and claim Danny regardless of his feelings or opinion on the matter, to which she replies it’s because he saw her as a total hottie, and she still is one.
* None of Stella’s relatives can comprehend why she married a pompous creep like Jean-Luc or why Star ever dated a Dumb Jock like Kwan.
* No Guy Wants to Be Chased: Yolanda of all people points out to Colette that her overly aggressive advances and blatant manipulative behavior are what drove Danny away.
* No Honour Among Thieves: Team Phantom lampshade that Colette and her allies have no actual loyalty to each other since they won’t hesitate to abandon or turn on one another if it’s in their best interests since Colette only cares about herself while Yolanda and Cartland are just looking for a payday plus Kwan is being blackmailed and hates Colette with a burning passion. Their point is proven when Kwan forms an alliance with Team Phantom to expose Colette’s evil nature to the world after having enough of her cruelty and Yolanda only continues to secretly support her after she loses for another chance at getting her greedy hands on Jean-Luc’s money.
* No Sympathy:
* Jean-Luc makes it clear to Stella he doesn’t care about Star or anyone she associates with and that he sees nothing wrong with Colette’s bratty behavior unless it causes him problems.
* Star is furious with Kwan for helping Colette ruin Team Phantom’s lives just so she doesn’t expose his embarrassing secrets, especially since it shows he’s still a Dirty Coward who only values his reputation.
* Star makes it very clear that Colette and the A-Listers deserve each other for being rotten jerks.
* Besides Jean-Luc and Stella, nobody at Star’s birthday party is upset when Colette is arrested after her crimes are exposed.
* Nobody is upset when Star kicks the A-Listers out of her birthday party, her relatives are especially glad they’re gone since they consider the A-List almost as rotten and unpleasant as Colette.
* No one feels bad for the Mansons when Eleanor kicks them out of Star’s birthday party because they received fake invitations (Tucker sent them so they’d know Sam was framed but lets everyone think Colette invited them) due to being unlikable snobs that are terrible parents to Sam.
* Ida makes it clear to the Mansons that it’s their own fault Sam has become so distant because they trusted a bunch of fake photos over their own daughter.
* Nobody’s That Dumb:
* The A-Listers are justifiably suspicious when they watch Danny ignoring Team Phantom in favor of dating Colette since at best he’s been completely apathetic towards her for 6 months, especially when they see how completely miserable he is from being bossed around by her so they deduce she’s somehow forcing him to be with her due to her increasingly unstable behavior and stalking him all the way to New York making them worry she’s crossed a legal and ethical line to steal him from Star that makes them decide to kick her out of their clique and turn her over to the cops if they uncover proof of her crimes as they have no desire to be associated with a criminal.
* Subverted with Stella since Jean-Luc thought she was aware of Colette’s feud with Star from the beginning like him only to be completely astonished when she reveals she REALLY is clueless to how much they hate each other and even now he has to spell out to her all of the times Colette bullied Star over the years along with all the times Colette tricked her into siding against her daughter by framing Star as the perpetrator for their fighting no matter how bad her lies were.
* “Not So Different” Remark:
* Kwan accepts Colette’s point that he’s not much better than her since he’s willing to break the law and throw innocent people under the bus for his own convenience so she doesn’t take away his popularity.
* Kwan realizes him and Danny aren’t so different because they both love Star and are completely miserable because Colette, the girl they both hate, forced them into being her pawns just to hurt her stepsister out of some extremely petty vendetta.
* Star's cousins hate Colette for being "Beatrice 2.0" and respect Danny for despising her evil nature.
* Not Helping Your Case:
* Star was already furious with Kwan for helping Colette ruin Team Phantom’s lives but his admittance that she’s blackmailing him with his embarrassing secrets and stubborn refusal to even tell her what those embarrassing secrets are only fuel her rage causing her to angrily decry him for still being the same peer-pressured Dirty Coward that only values his own reputation above all else because he isn’t willing to sacrifice his popularity to help her or do the right thing by stopping a sociopathic monster like Colette regardless of how many people she hurts or lives she destroys.
* Colette’s stubborn insistence that Danny Fenton is Danny Phantom and one-sided obsession with the Fenton boy only further convinces everyone she’s a delusional liar since she can’t prove anything after Team Phantom got rid of all her evidence and proved she used fake evidence to frame them, especially when they further discredit her by having Ember publicly fight a fake Danny Phantom made by Misty.
* Not Me This Time: Everyone thinks Colette invited her maternal figures to Star’s birthday party when it was really Tucker so they could witness Colette’s true nature (not that he’s interested in confessing).
* Not So Similar: Kwan proves to Colette in the end that they’re nothing alike by showing he is willing to do the right thing to protect his loved ones at personal cost by sacrificing his popularity to help Team Phantom bring her down for good even if it means publicly admitting his embarrassing secrets himself to remove her leverage over him.
* Not Worth Killing: Skulker admits to Team Phantom he’d hunt Colette just to get rid of her for good if she wasn’t too weak to be worth his time.
* Only Sane Man: Star and Kwan admit Danny was this at the beginning for being the only guy smart enough to see Colette for the rotten troublemaker she truly is underneath her beauty and fake sweet girl act.
* Paper Tiger: Colette loves to act like she's untouchable but Team Phantom and their allies make it clear she's just a loudmouthed Spoiled Brat who's nothing without her status and blackmail material since they're fine with attacking her directly and indirectly.
* Pet the Dog:
* Kinda. Colette only lets Danny fight Skulker when he points out that letting the evil ghost terrorize the city will put her and her father Jean-Luc at risk.
* Star and Kwan become a lot more appreciative of Danny’s intelligence for being the Only Sane Man for realizing at the beginning that Colette was nothing but a scheming no-good trouble-making witch underneath her beauty and fake sweet French girl act and wisely didn’t want anything to do with her.
* Even if it is an excuse for her mad obsession with a middle-class boy despite being a major elitist, Colette explains to Star that she believes Danny has potential to be better than any elite aristocrat, even without his ghost powers.
* Tucker admits that, unlike Sam, he never hated Star even when she was a Beta Bitch.
* Ember supports Team Phantom’s belief of The Power of Friendship since she has Kitty for a friend.
* As furious as Stella and Suzette are at Colette for her crimes, they still show concern when she suddenly develops hives from out of nowhere (due to Misty secretly putting a curse on tiara that activates every time she tries to reveal Danny’s secret identity).
* Puck secretly provides Pierre with food to pelt Colette with at Star’s birthday party after the Spoiled Brat’s crimes are revealed.
* Everyone at Star’s birthday party, even the A-Listers, feels happy for Star and Danny when they reunite after Colette is taken away for all the trouble she caused the couple.
* After Star kicks the A-Listers out of her birthday party, Puck gives Danny mouthwash so he can remove the taste of Colette from his mouth and kiss Star.
* After beating Colette at her birthday party, Star gives Ember a surprise hug as thanks for all her help, but they both agree to pretend it never happened.
* At Star’s birthday party, Dumpty Humpty plan to give Danny and Star free tickets to their next show to cheer them up after everything Colette put them through.
* As deceitful as Wufong was to Misty, she admits he did give her genuinely good advice by warning her against getting on the bad side of someone as dangerous as a fae like Puck.
* Eloise and Freja give autographs to Stella and Suzette.
* Kwan doesn’t face any charges from the police for helping Colette since he was coerced as well as Star and Danny speaking up in his defense.
* Pamela and Jeremy’s parents still supported him even though he never got into med school like he wanted.
* Tucker’s parents feel bad for not believing he was innocent in the beginning so they’re making it up to him by buying him a new laptop that he wanted for Christmas and removing his limited screen time with all his tech.
* Damon has been making it up to Valerie for not believing in her innocence in the beginning.
* Jean-Luc is giving Colette one last chance by sending her to reform school to improve her behavior but if she disgraces her family again and fails to act like a “proper member of high society” then he’ll disinherit her for good thus leaving Pierre as his only heir.
* Even if it is just to buy her forgiveness, Sam’s parents got her the goth dress she likes.
* Popular is Dumb: Deconstructed with the A-Listers since their cluelessness made them easy to manipulate and fail to realize how rotten Colette is despite her increasingly insane behavior until it was too late and it’s one of the main factors that makes Kwan leave the clique for good because he doesn’t want to be part of a group that can’t be bothered to stop a monster like the Bevier brat when they obviously should’ve.
* Popular Is Evil: Deconstructed with Colette. Danny lampshades that it was only a matter of time for Colette to lose all her popularity since even the A-Listers don’t want to associate with her anymore after realizing what a horrible sociopath she is for the obsessive lengths she goes through to get what she wants and ruin Team Phantom.
* Post-Support Regret:
* Stella regrets ever favoring Colette when Jean-Luc makes it clear that all she did was enable her bullying and almost destroyed her relationship with Star by constantly siding with the French brat no matter how obvious it was that she was a troublemaker.
* Suzette and all of Colette’s former stepmoms regret ever being fooled by her innocent act and heavily spoiling her instead of actually parenting her since it only played a major role in making her the sociopathic Spoiled Brat she is now by enabling her worst qualities.
* Pragmatic Villainy:
* Colette realizes it would be a bad idea to let an evil ghost like Skulker rampage through the city just so she can hog Danny all to herself when he points out that the Hunter could end up targeting her or her dad Jean-Luc so she lets him save the day albeit threatening to reveal her blackmail material if he takes too long.
* Misty mentions to Team Phantom that Wufong warned her against messing with a creature as dangerous as a fae like Puck and acknowledges he was right.
* Properly Paranoid:
* Team Phantom, Valerie, Ida, Star’s parents, the Strongs, and the Fentons immediately realize that the evidence implicating the kids is fake and have a hunch that things aren't what they seem. Team Phantom eventually deduce Colette is responsible since she's the only one depraved enough with the resources to get rid of them by framing them just to remove them from Danny's life and with Kwan's help they prove it by tricking her into admitting her crimes to everyone at Star's birthday party.
* Danny knows from his dealings with Vlad that Colette is far too petty and obsessive to ever drop her feud with Team Phantom (especially since she's MUCH worse than he ever was or could be) even after being arrested and threatened one last time into leaving them alone so he'll make sure to be ready for the day when she comes back to take her revenge.
* Property of Love: Horrifically subverted and deconstructed with Colette since her extremely possessive treatment of Danny only showcases how much of a psychopathic monster she really is by putting an innocent boy through absolute hell merely over being rejected by him and it becomes obvious to everyone she never saw him as a person in any way but as a tool to ruin Star’s life with and a trophy she feels entitled to that she feels she can do with as she pleases.
* Pyrrhic Victory: While Colette is too deranged to care, Star points out her “victory” will ultimately amount to this at best because, contrary to her delusions, she can’t force Danny to love her and just because she stole Danny doesn’t mean she can KEEP him since all she’ll accomplish is making him hate her more and more with her increasingly horrible personality until he reaches his limit and ditches her. The fact that Danny is willing to team up with Misty, Skulker, Ember, and Kwan at first chance to get away from Colette only proves Star’s point.
* Pushover Parents: Jean-Luc is still this to Team Phantom’s never ending headache because his extremely poor parenting (or lack thereof) and constant enabling of Colette’s worst traits is what made her their greatest nightmare. Heavily deconstructed as even in the end he still doesn’t see a problem with her awful attitude and is only upset with her for humiliating him and disgracing their family name in high society when all her crimes are exposed to the public by her enemies.
* Regretful Traitor: Kwan reluctantly aids Colette in framing Team Phantom and blackmailing Danny into being with her under threat of being made a laughingstock by exposing all his embarrassing secrets. He becomes wrecked with guilt, especially after Star gives him a scathing “The Reason You Suck” Speech and seeing how completely miserable Danny is as Colette’s slave, so he teams up with the couple to take down Colette for good by tricking her into revealing her crimes to the whole town after realizing popularity isn’t worth ruining innocent lives (especially the girl he loves) and letting a monster like Colette win.
* Revenge Myopia:
* Donovan wants revenge on Star and Danny because he blames them for ruining his life when it was his own constant harassment of the couple that got him disinherited and put on a restraining order.
* Everyone points out to Colette that Team Phantom would've left her alone if she stopped harassing them out of pettiness.
* Right for the Wrong Reasons: Zigzagged. Donovan Loadman is right that it’s completely pathetic of Colette to fixate on Danny who already has a girlfriend, but he’s only saying it out of a jealousy that a rich girl like her would be more interested in a middle-class boy than a Blue Blood like himself. Granted even he can see that Danny hates her.
* Sadist: Nearly everyone, even the A-Listers and Danny’s enemies, are horrified by Colette’s unrestrained cruelty and unhealthy obsession with ruining Star’s life.
* Sanity Has Advantages: While Colette is too much of an unhinged sociopath to take rejection, Yolanda’s just a greedy con woman that knows to call it quits when a score isn't worth since she figured out Vlad would never go for her due to his obsession with Maddie and completely gave up on him.
* Shallow Cannot Comprehend True Love: Donovan can’t understand why any girl, especially not rich ones like Sam, Star, and Colette, would prefer a middle-class Nice Guy like Danny over a Blue Blood Rich Bastard like himself.
* Shipper on Deck: Kwan becomes one of Star and Danny in the end after accepting that the Fenton boy is a much better boyfriend than he ever was because of the lengths he was willing to go through to protect her from Colette by agreeing to temporarily be her slave since Star mattered more to him than his own freedom and happiness.
* Skilled, but Naive: Yolanda tells Colette she's this in the end since while she has talent in being a Manipulative Bitch, her impatience and lack of foresight make her terrible at long-term planning especially since she focuses more on short-term gratification along with disregarding the potential consequences of her actions which her blackmailing scheme proved as she was so desperate to get rid of Team Phantom she got sloppy and it lead to her being arrested.
* Slave to PR:
* VERY darkly deconstructed with Kwan who acknowledges he’s not much better than Colette since he’s willing to help her ruin Team Phantom’s lives and break the law just so she won’t reveal his embarrassing secrets and turn him into a social outcast who the A-Listers won’t associate with anymore. Subverted in the end when Kwan realizes Star DOES matter more to him than popularity and he can’t handle the guilt of hurting Team Phantom anymore so he teams up with them to stop Colette for good by exposing her crimes at Star’s birthday party and getting her arrested.
* The ONLY reason Jean-Luc is mad at Colette for her crimes is because it paints their family in an extremely bad light when her actions become known to the public and he threatens to disinherit her for good if she doesn’t straighten up at Bludworth Academy in order to quit disgracing the Beviers any further.
* Small Name, Big Ego:
* As far as Dash is concerned, he should be the one who gets all the attention from girls instead of Danny just because he’s an A-Lister and football player even ones he’s lost interest in like Colette just so he can have the pleasure of her rejecting her.
* As far as Donovan Loadman is concerned, any girl would be lucky to be considered attractive enough to earn the attention of an elite like himself.
* Smarter Than You Look:
* Johnny 13 surprises Danny by revealing he completely hates Colette after figuring out how much of a despicable sociopathic brat she truly is and refuses to have anything to do with her.
* Star mocks Colette by pointing out that despite Danny’s lackluster grades he’s still smarter than her and the entire A-List put together since he could figure out at the beginning that she was a scheming evil witch who’s nothing but trouble from a mile away.
* So Proud of You: Star and Danny’s loved ones congratulate them on stopping Colette for good and saving not just their relationship but all the lives the evil French Spoiled Brat would’ve ruined in the future.
* Somebody Doesn’t Love Raymond: Team Phantom lampshade how much of a pathetic unhinged lunatic Colette is for obsessing over Danny just because he’s the first boy to ever turn her down, something Star makes clear to Stella by informing her Colette only fixates on Danny for “not turning into a drooling doofus” upon meeting her, and the rest of Amity Park realize she’s completely insane when her crimes are exposed in the end.
* Sore Loser: It infuriates and disgusts Team Phantom to no end that every despicable thing Colette has ever done to them was out of some warped desire to “beat” Star in their imaginary competition by stealing Danny from her because she can’t stand being rejected or losing since she considers herself “the superior player” so she believes she must always be allowed to win. She also tries to reveal Danny's secret identity out of spite for Team Phantom exposing her crimes and Danny rejecting her for the final time at Star's birthday party but nobody wants to trust the word of a sociopathic Manipulative Bitch (especially since Team Phantom destroyed all her evidence of Danny's half-ghost nature) so they justifiable just write her off as a Danny-obsessed delusional liar and have her arrested.
* Stating the Simple Solution: Even Vivian and Theodore point out to Donovan that he’d stop getting into trouble (and getting them into trouble too) if he let go of his obsession with Star but he’s too prideful and petty to listen so he continues to stubbornly harass her and Danny no matter how much trouble it gets him with his boss, father, and the law due to Star’s restraining order against him.
* Stupid Evil:
* Danny calls Colette out on stubbornly refusing to let him fight Skulker just so she can selfishly hog him all to herself by pointing out if he doesn’t do his job by stopping the evil ghost hunter then there’s a strong chance she or her father Jean-Luc will become his next targets. She actually concedes his point and lets him fight Skulker but makes it clear he better defeat him quickly or she’ll punish him.
* Even Stella lampshades in the end that Colette threw her whole life away for nothing just because she was too much of a Spoiled Brat to accept being rejected by Danny.
* Superior Successor:
* Star’s family definitely see her as this to her Brainless Beauty Womanchild mother Stella because she only got her beauty and not her lack of common sense.
* Kwan admits in the end Danny is this to him since he’s proven to be a far more loyal and moral boyfriend to Star than he could ever be because he didn’t hesitate to sacrifice his own freedom and happiness to protect her from Colette by becoming the evil Spoiled Brat’s slave while Kwan initially wasn’t willing to risk his own reputation and social standing.
* Sure, Let’s Go with That: Tucker lets everyone believe that Colette invited her maternal figures and the Mansons to Star’s birthday party because he doesn’t want to do her any favors or admit to breaking into her house and hacking her computer to send the invitations.
* Sympathetic Villain, Despicable Villain: Kwan is the Sympathetic Villain to Cartland, Yolanda, and especially Colette’s Despicable Villain because he bares no real malice towards Team Phantom but is being blackmailed by Colette into helping her ruin their lives and is consumed by guilt for his actions while Cartland and Yolanda are greedy unrepentant Jerkasses who willingly aid Colette out of the promise of a huge payment (and the latter wants to become Jean-Luc’s new Trophy Wife). Kwan eventually becomes remorseful enough to pull a Heel-Face Turn and joins forces with Team Phantom to get rid of Colette permanently by exposing her crimes at Star’s birthday party so she’s arrested and Cartland eventually is too while Yolanda escapes capture and makes an alliance with Colette in the end in the hopes of still getting her hands on Jean-Luc’s money by marrying him.
* Sympathy for the Hero:
* After seeing how obsessive and abusive Colette is to Danny, a guilty Kwan joins forces with Team Phantom to stop her for good by tricking her into exposing all her crimes to the whole town.
* Puck secretly helps Team Phantom deal with Colette and her minions because he likes them.
* Team Phantom’s loved ones, Suzette, and Jean-Luc’s ex-wives comfort them for everything Colette put them through after her crimes are revealed. Even Paulina is glad Colette is stopped because what she was doing to them, especially Danny, was beyond despicable.
* While everyone is overjoyed that Colette is finally gone and paying for her crimes, they feel bad for Stella because of how heartbroken she is after seeing her stepdaughter’s true evil colors.
* Take Back Your Gift: After learning about Colette’s deception and psychopathic nature, Suzette and the former stepmoms angrily demand she payback the money with interest that she conned from them.
* Taught by Experience: Danny knows from his experience with Vlad that Colette is far too stubborn and vengeful to ever give up her grudge against Team Phantom (especially since she's so MUCH worse than he ever was or could be) even after being arrested and threatened one last time into staying away from them so he'll prepare for the day when she comes back to get revenge.
* Tempting Fate: Colette finds the idea of Kwan exposing her crimes laughable because she doesn't believe he would risk his reputation for it as she knows about his embarrassing hobbies especially since she'd make sure he went down with her due to his history of always going along with the A-Listers bullying out of peer pressure making it unlikely for anyone to believe she blackmailed him into helping her, but he keeps his promise anyway by joining forces with Team Phantom to trick her into revealing her crimes at Star's birthday party along with revealing all his embarassing secrets himself to remove her leverage and the heroes convince the police that he was forced.
* Then Let Me Be Evil: Not that she wasn't already rotten to the core but after having enough of Danny’s rejections, Colette goes from a manipulative Spoiled Brat to a full-blown Yandere whose fine with ruining Valerie and Team Phantom’s lives just for fun and to steal Danny from Star.
* They Would Cut You Up: Colette makes it clear to Danny she’ll expose his secret identity to the world, completely uncaring of what any ghost hunters or government agencies do to him, if he doesn’t do what she says and tries to do just that at Star’s birthday party after he helps Team Phantom’s expose her crimes before realizing they already deleted her blackmail material from her phone.
* “The Reason I Suck” Speech: Star admits to her allies that she was a complete idiot to ever introduce Danny to her horrible step-family, especially since she knew from the start that it was a terrible idea, because it just led to Colette becoming their biggest headache when she turned into a psychotic Yandere Stalker with a Crush towards Danny after he rejected her and is now obsessed with ruining all their lives in her mad quest to force him to be with her.
* This Is Reality: Paulina of all people points out to the A-Listers that the ONLY logical explanation for why Danny would ditch his True Companions Team Phantom to date Colette, who he has ignored and rejected for 6 months straight, is that she’s somehow forcing him to spend time with her since it’s not hard to imagine her doing that given her increasingly worrisome erratic behavior that isn’t helped by the time when she stalked Danny all the way to New York in “Traveled” under the implication that she was planning to kidnap him and force him into a relationship with her, which is backed up by Dale confirming how absolutely miserable Danny looks when he’s stuck with her, especially because she does nothing but incessantly nag and boss him around while dragging him around with her everywhere she goes along while stubbornly refusing to give him a moment’s peace from her.
* This Is Unforgivable!: Jean-Luc makes it clear to Colette she’s nothing but a utter disgrace to their family for all the trouble she caused them with her out of control behavior since they’ve become the laughing stocks of high society after her crimes are exposed so he’s cutting her off and tells her that if she fails to straighten up or if he finds out that she’s making any more mistakes while at boarding school then he’ll disown her permanently which will leave Pierre as his sole heir.
* Threat Backfire: When Dash threatens Kwan for quitting the A-Listers and breaking off their friendship, Kwan embarrasses him by revealing to everyone at Star’s birthday party Dash’s secret teddy bear collection.
* Throw the Dog a Bone: After Colette’s arrest, Stella is provided comfort by Pierre and Fifi who, unlike her sociopathic stepdaughter and apathetic Slimeball husband Jean-Luc, genuinely love her and are FAR less of a hassle.
* Too Desperate to Be Picky: Team Phantom and Valerie are willing to accept help from Misty, Skulker, Ember, and Kwan to stop Colette because they’re THAT desperate to save Danny and get the evil Spoiled Brat out of their lives for good.
* Too Important to Remember You: Colette admits to Star she doesn’t care to remember the names of “peasants” or boys not cute enough to be worth her time like Tucker Foley or Toadman.
* Tough Love: In the end, Stella and Colette’s biological parents make it clear to her that Bludworth Academy is her ONLY way to avoid being disinherited permanently and thrown in prison.
* Toxic Lover Influence: Colette WANTS to be this to Danny cause she thinks she can make a Nice Guy like him as vile as herself so they’d make a better match by forcing him to be with her. Not that Danny plans on ever being anything like his biggest pest even if he wasn’t an All-Loving Hero Nice Guy because he hates Colette THAT much.
* True Companions: Ember admits to Team Phantom that she and Kitty are this but she only considers Penelope Spectra an “acquaintance”.
* Turned Off By The Jerkass: Team Phantom point out to Star it wouldn’t have made a difference if Danny left her at the beginning since he never would’ve dated Colette as soon as he saw how horrible she really was, which was proven in “Forgotten” when he got amnesia and still didn’t want anything to do with her after seeing how much of a controlling Alpha Bitch she was.
* The Unapologetic: Danny bluntly informs Colette that he didn’t visit her at the hospital or send her a card because he didn’t want to and is glad he never did those things.
* Underestimating Intelligence:
* Colette calls Star out on Team Phantom on dismissing her as just another Brainless Beauty Spoiled Brat like Paulina since it made it easier for her to carry out her blackmailing scheme against them from right under their noses.
* It never occurred to Colette that Team Phantom would secretly undermine her by joining forces with their enemies (who hate her FAR more than they ever did them) or Danny would help his friends by providing them cryptic hints and teaming up with Skulker and Kwan.
* Both Colette and Team Phantom dismiss Yolanda as a Brainless Beauty Gold Digger that’s easily apprehended by the authorities but proves clever enough to evade the police and infiltrate Bludworth Academy to visit Colette, she even admits Yolanda is “more than just a pretty face”.
* Ungrateful Bitch: Jean-Luc calls Colette out on dragging their family’s name through the mud with her disgraceful actions despite all the luxury and pampering he provided her over the years so he decides to cut her off unless she learns how to act like a “proper” member of high society or else she’ll be disowned for good and Pierre will become his only heir.
* Unluckily Lucky:
* Tucker, Johnny 13, and the A-Lister jocks admit it’s a good thing that Colette was never interested in them when she reveals that she’s a total psychopath that’s fine with destroying Team Phantom’s lives just to take Danny from Star for kicks and out of an extremely warped sense of entitlement. Team Phantom doesn’t waste any time agreeing with the sentiment.
* Kwan realizes he dodged a major bullet when Colette dumped him after proving to be an irredeemably awful excuse for a human being and wishes for Danny’s sake that he had cut ties with Star before being unfortunate enough to cross paths with her psychopathic stepsister.
* Using You All Along: After witnessing Colette’s sociopathic Manipulative Bitch behavior, everyone from the A-Listers to her maternal figures realize they were never anything to her but disposable pawns to use and throw away when she was done with them.
* Villain Ball: Everyone lampshades Colette should've just been content with her luxurious lifestyle since she threw it all away by insisting on being a sociopath obsessed with ruining lives for her own petty amusement.
* Villain Has a Point:
* Colette is right that Donovan Loadman doesn’t deserve to be an elite for being a “disgraced fool” and that it’s his own fault he got disinherited along with his friends.
* While Colette doesn’t say it out loud, she rightfully questions Stella’s parenting for thinking it was a good idea to move their family to a town full of dangerous ghosts like Amity Park.
* When Colette finds out Danny’s secret identity, she uses it (along with the crimes she framed Team Phantom for and some unflattering stuff about Star) to blackmail him into dating her (well, more like be her slave) by pointing out it would be extremely bad for him if it got out that he’s half-ghost since ghost hunters and government agencies would hunt him down to either destroy him or perform painful experiments on him (which he knows is correct since he had to use Freakshow’s reality-warping gauntlet to erase everybody’s memory of his ghost powers so people like the Guys in White would leave him and his loved ones alone). Danny only plays along with her insane demands until Team Phantom and their allies destroy all her evidence and expose her true nature to the world as a deceitful psychopath so nobody will ever believe her when she does reveal his secret to everyone out of petty revenge over being rejected by him for the final time.
* When Kwan threatens to expose Colette’s schemes after he grows disgusted with her worsening sociopathy she counters by telling him he won’t stop her because his history of being a cowardly Peer-Pressured Bully who always goes along with the A-Listers antics will make nobody believe she threatened him into helping her with her crimes and Star indeed does not believe he was being blackmailed by Colette when he tries to defend himself during their confrontation after she discovers his role in the evil Spoiled Brat’s plan to destroy Team Phantom after all the bullying and attempts to sabotage their relationship in the past. Subverted in the end when Kwan decides no punishment can be worse than losing Star forever or allowing a irredeemable monster like Colette to win by letting her get away with ruining Team Phantom’s lives so he teams up with them to expose Colette’s crimes and true psychopathic nature at Star’s birthday party which rewards him Star’s forgiveness and they speak on his behalf to make sure he doesn’t get in trouble for being forced to aid Colette in her crimes.
* As cruel as the statement was, Colette is very much right that Stella is just another disposable Trophy Wife who isn’t anymore important to her father Jean-Luc than his previous wives were and that he’ll replace her someday after he tires of her but she’s too much of a deluded naive fool to see it while literally everyone else has already figured it out, the fact he’s planning on leaving Stella now that he’s grow bored of her and has been seeing Yolanda along with who knows how many other women since coming to Amity Park for who knows how long only further proves Colette’s point.
* During her Villainous Breakdown, Colette accureately calls Stella an idiot for ever thinking she actually respected her since Colette was clearly just manipulating her by pretending to love her so she would keep spoiling her rotten as well as constantly ignoring and disregarding Stella's feelings and authority as well as being too oblivious to notice that she was bullying her daughter Star for years, especially ever since she came to Amity Park and started obsessing over Danny.
* Misty mentions to Team Phantom that the only lesson Wufong taught her that was actually worth listening to was NEVER upset a fae like Puck because even he knew better than Vlad that crossing somebody that powerful and dangerous was a huge mistake.
* Everyone agrees with the decision of the city council (controlled by Vlad) that Colette should be banned indefinitely from Amity Park since her horrible sociopathic nature is clearly a result of Jean-Luc's terrible excuse for parenting rather than the city itself, plus if she did stay she'd have to be constantly monitored due to being proven to be a menace to society.
* As horrible as Colette is for telling Sam she’s a disappointment to her family, she is correct that the goth girl has a poor relationship with her parents.
* At Bludworth Academy, Yolanda tells Colette that while she has enough acting talent to trick gullible fools like her parents and the A-Listers, she overestimates her skills as a Manipulative Bitch because she utterly failed to conceal her true nature when dealing with smarter targets like Danny and relying on threats/blackmail can only get you so far.
* Villain Respect:
* Ember admires the close bond that True Companions Team Phantom shares with each other since she understands the feeling due to her own strong friendship with Kitty.
* Colette still holds some admiration towards Beatrice Traville for her ruthless nature and considers it a compliment when Star notes they’re both being horrible sociopaths who ruin lives for their own selfish benefit and petty amusement even if they’re family.
* According to Misty, Wufong considered fae like Puck too dangerous to toy with and advised her to avoid them at all costs.
* Colette can’t help but be impressed by Yolanda for proving smart enough to successfully infiltrate Bludworth Academy to meet with her.
* Villainous Friendship: Ember admits to Team Phantom that she has this with Kitty but Spectra is more of an acquaintance.
* Villainous Valor: Yolanda is clever enough to sneak into Bludworth Academy without trouble, a feet that impresses even Colette.
* Was It All a Lie?: All of Colette’s maternal figures are heartbroken when Team Phantom trick her into revealing in her Villainous Breakdown that she never regarded them as anything but easily replaceable walking ATMs that she could manipulate into satisfying her materialistic needs.
* Won’t Get Fooled Again: After witnessing Colette’s true colors when Team Phantom exposes her crimes, Stella and her other maternal figures no longer fall for Colette’s lies and manipulations anymore so she punishes her.
* Would Hit a Girl: Downplayed with Kwan as while he’s tempted to “rearrange” Colette’s face for her crimes, he prefers to turn her over to the police.
* You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Colette is flabbergasted that Pierre keeps pelting her with food since she has no idea where he’s getting it from (Puck was secretly supplying him).
* You’re Insane!: Everyone realizes how much of a complete psychopath Colette is after her crimes are revealed. Team Phantom and even Stella admit Colette was always bound to end up like this regardless if Danny was in her life or not. Yolanda also regards Colette as a total nutcase, especially because of her delusional fixation with Danny who clearly hates her guts with every fiber of his being.

TMDDF: What If?:
* Accidental Misnaming:
* Danny doesn’t get the Underminer’s name right until him and Violet talk to each other in their superhero personas after learning each other’s secret identities.
* LaCienega Boulevardez doesn’t care enough to remember Danny’s name.
* Danny calls Garrett Krebs “Gary Crab” during their first meeting before being angrily corrected by the vengeful ghost. Although he forgets it later and calls him “Krey Garrison” while fighting the Seto Group.
* Accidental Truth: While Danny was only making assumptions, he is correct about King Pony Head being Princess Pony Head's dad since he notices that he looks like an older male version of her.

* Violet finds it funny whenever Danny gets the Underminer’s name wrong just to mess with the villain.
* Affectionate Nickname: Danny calls Violet Parr “Vi”.
* Alpha Bitch: Danny finds LaCienega Boulevardez just as awful and unpleasant as Paulina Sanchez.
* Beauty Equals Goodness: Danny considers Liz Allan nicer and prettier than Alpha Bitch Paulina Sanchez.
* Beauty Is Bad: LaCienega Boulevardez is a lovely girl but is also a vain Jerkass, much like Paulina Sanchez, who Danny and Penny can’t stand.
* Berserk Button:
* LaCienega Boulevardez does not appreciate Danny mocking her by calling her “Swampy”.
* Suga Mama hates being corrected, talked back to, or embarrassed by Oscar.
* Garrett Krebs does NOT like Danny Phantom getting his name wrong.
* Better as Friends: Danny and Star Butterfly realize they’re too incompatible to be a couple so they settle for just being friends.
* Beware the Nice Ones:
* Danny is a Nice Guy but loses his patience with Pony Head's annoying behavior and freezes her solid to leave her stuck in the bathroom so he can go back to enjoying his blind date with Star in peace.
* While Violet is a Nice Girl, she uses her powers to get revenge on Dash for bullying her and Danny on their blind date by secretly tripping the obnoxious Jerk Jock.
* Birds of a Feather: Danny and Violet bond over being shy teenage superheroes with secret identities that have shield and invisibility powers who just want to be normal.
* Bonding Over Dislikes: Danny and his dates always find common ground over their mutual hatred of the dimwitted Jerk Jock bully Dash Baxter.
* Break the Haughty: After her disastrous blind date with Danny and being rescued by the ghost boy, Lunar Edomae loses much of her arrogance and seeks to make amends with him for her inconsiderate behavior towards him while on their blind date.
* Brutal Honesty: All of Danny's dates bluntly inform Dash that they'd never date or even associate with a moronic Jerk Jock like him when he crashes their dates to harass Danny and hit on them despite them clearly finding his rudeness, immaturity, lechery, and bullying utterly repulsive.
* Bully Hunter:
* Sakura beats up the jocks for picking on Danny.
* Violet uses her powers to get back at Dash for harassing her and Danny on their blind date by tripping him.
* Bullying a Dragon:
* Unlike Danny, his dates are for more willing to fight the A-Listers for harassing them.
* Princess Pony Head gets frozen solid by Danny in the bathroom for her Jerkass attitude and her dad King Pony Head admits this is nothing new as she has a nasty habit of getting into trouble by antagonizing dangerous beings.
* Danny beats up the mermaid yakuza thugs for threatening his life after he finds out mermaids exist.
* Casanova Wannabe:
* Tucker is this as usual as girls are unimpressed with the real him when meeting him in person since he lied on his dating profile. He gets better when he later changes it to be more honest.
* Dash is an even worse one since all of Danny's dates are immediately repulsed by his Dumb Jock Bully attitude and he never gets better.
* Chaotic Stupid: Even Danny finds himself too overwhelmed by Star Butterfly’s energetic and unpredictable personality to ever want her as a girlfriend and settles for merely being friends with her.
* Cool Old Lady: Suga Mama is very close to her granddaughter Penny and approves of Danny upon meeting him.
* Corrupted Character Copy: Dash is basically a teenage one of Johnny Bravo as they're both muscular Dumb Blonde Casanova Wannabes who are constantly rejected and assaulted by the women they hit on for being insensitive macho pigs but Dash lacks Johnny's redeeming qualities like his Jerk with a Heart of Gold who can shrug off rejection nature as he's more of a Jerk with a Heart of Jerk Barbaric Bully who is Not Good with Rejection.
* Clingy Jealous Girl: Deconstructed with Paulina as her feelings for Danny Phantom are nothing but a shallow Celeb Crush born out of childish possessiveness rather than genuine affection as she hardly knows him and he loses all interest in her when he realizes she's not worth his time for only caring about the superhero side of him, plus her jealousy of Ladybug leads to her being akumatized into Celosa Rosa.
* Crazy Jealous Guy:
* Deconstruced with Dash since all of Danny's dates rightfully consider him totally pathetic for being too much of a petty jerk to stand Danny getting attention from attractive girls.
* Donnie secretly spies on April while she’s on her blind date with Danny.
* Defiant to the End: Garrett Krebs refuses to give up no matter how much Danny pummels him before being sucked into the Fenton Thermos.

* Downplayed with Star Butterfly as she's not really dumb but her scatterbrained and oblivious nature exasperate Danny.
* All of Danny's dates agree Dash is a complete idiot.
* Dumb Jock: All of Danny’s dates regard Dash as a total moron and don't see the other Casper High jocks as any different.
* Embarrassing Nickname: Danny calls LaCienega Boulevardez “Swampy” because that’s what her first name means in English, for laughs especially since she hates it.
* Entitled Bastard: As far as Dash is concerned, attractive girls should go out with him instead of Danny because he's a popular jock and can't understand why Danny's dates hate him for being a bully who treats them as trophies and harasses Danny.
* Everyone Has Standards:
* Danny may be an Amazon Chaser but he finds Star Butterfly too chaotic and unpredictable to be interested in despite her fighting skills so they agree to be Just Friends.
* Even a Nice Girl like Violet hates bullies like Dash and uses her powers to trip the Dumb Jock as payback for trying to ruin her blind date with Danny.
* As mad as Lunar Edomae is at Danny for rejecting and insulting her, she doesn’t want him dead and is sad when she thinks the mermaid yakuza killed him.
* Danny might consider Lunar Edomae the worst date he’s been on (even more so than Cree Lincoln) but he doesn’t want to see her get killed because of mermaid law and rescues her when Fujishiro almost crushes her.
* Danny does find Jinx cute and is flattered when she flirts with him but he makes it clear he prefers Nice Girls like Starfire.
* Evil Virtues: The mermaid yakuza value honor and keeping promises because they greatly respect the mermaid code and keep their promise to leave Danny alone and keep quiet about his secret identity as long as keeps their existence a secret.
* Excellent Judge of Character:
* Excellent Judge of Character: All of Danny's dates can see Sash is foo much of an immature Dumb Jock bully to be boyfriend material and stick with the Nice Guy Danny.
* Suga Mama and Trudy Proud instantly like Danny because they can tell he’s a good kid who would make an excellent match for Penny.
* Fatal Flaw: Arrogance and recklessness are this for Princess Pony Head since she tends to vastly overestimate herself and always does whatever she wants with no regard to the potential consequences which leads her to making enemies with dangerous people as her father King Pony Head confirms since he isn't shocked to find her frozen solid in the bathroom for annying Danny.
* Females Are More Innocent: Ren Seto is much more levelheaded and pragmatic than her Hot-Blooded husband Gozaburo.
* The Gadfly:
* Danny keeps getting the Underminer’s name wrong just to mess with him.
* Danny can’t resist calling LaCienega Boulevardez “Swampy” because that’s what her first name means in English, just to annoy her.
* Green-Eyed Monster: Princess Pony Head acts antagonistically towards Danny for no valid reason except for petty jealousy, and gets frozen in a block of ice in the bathroom by him for her troubles.
* Good Is Not Soft:
* Danny eventually gets totally fed up with Pony Head's obnoxious attitude and leaves her frozen in the bathroom so he can enjoy the rest of his blind date with Star in peace.
* Violet is willing to use her powers to get payback on bullies like Dash for messing with her and Danny on their blind date.
* Jen and Sakura are fine with hitting Dash for harassing them on their blinde date with Danny.
* Has a Type: Jen usually goes for older athletic guys but makes a serious exception for Dash for being too much of an idiotic Jerk Jock and prefers the younger, non-sporty Nice Guy Danny.
* Hidden Depths: Danny understands enough Spanish to know that LaCienega Boulevardez’s first name means “Swampy” as well as understand and translate for Papi Boulevardez when he insults Suga Mama.
* History Repeats: Garrett Krebs was defeated by a superpowered teenage hero (Penny) whose identity he didn’t know during his debut and here he’s beaten by another superpowered teenage hero (Danny) whose identity he doesn’t know.
* Honor Among Thieves: Said by Ren Seto to Danny as she uses his status as a hybrid to exempt him from the mermaid yakuza’s rule of killing or marrying any human that finds out about mermaids and convinces him to accept a truce that they'll never tell anyone his secret identity or cause him trouble again as along as he doesn't fight them anymore or reveal the existence of mermaids.
* Hot-Blooded: The mermaid yakuza are quick to resort to violence when mermaid law is broken and refuse to back off of fighting Danny no matter how much he cobblers them until Ren Seto forces them to stop.
* I Gave My Word: Danny and the mermaid yakuza agree to leave each other alone as long as they keep quiet about each other’s secrets.
* I Hate Past Me: Liz Allan admits to Danny that she used to be just as much of a snob as Paulina before she Took a Level in Kindness.
* I Just Want to Be Normal: Violet admits to Danny she wanted to date a normal guy who wasn’t a super like her and he admits he understands her desire for normalcy.
* Innocently Insensitive: Clawdeen doesn’t disagree with Danny about the term “Normie” being a slur and regrets calling him that.
* Insulting from Behind the Language Barrier: Papi Boulevardez always insults Suga Mama in Spanish and she along with the rest of the Proud family never realize it, at least until Danny Phantom translates for them.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Even regardless of Pony Head's Jerkass attitude, Danny is completely justified in opposing her presence since the blind date is supposed to be between him and Star Butterfly only which her friend Pony Head is crashing and stubbornly refuses to leave plus Star is making no effort to do anything about her friend’s out of control behavior so he leaves Pony Head frozen solid in ice in the bathroom.
* Violet points out to Danny that his friend Sam can’t understand what it’s like not to be normal because she doesn’t have powers like them.
* Oscar corrects Suga Mama that Danny’s name is “Danny Phantom” and not “Inviso-Bill”.
* Clawdeen doesn’t deny Danny’s claim about the term “Normie” being a slur and regrets calling him that.
* All of Danny's dates rightfully hate Dash for being an annoying Dumb Jock who acts like his popularity and athleticism entitles him to pretty girls even when they’re already spoken for and to be a jerk to anyone he sees as beneath him since he constantly harasses Danny on their dates.
* Join or Die: The mermaid yakuza explain to Danny that under mermaid law he either marries Lunar Edomae since he discovered her mermaid identity or they’ll both be executed. Predictably, he chooses neither.
* Kick the Dog: Gozaboro threatens to hunt down everyone Danny knows, which earns him a punch in the stomach.
* Know When to Fold 'Em: Ren Seto quickly realizes that Danny isn’t someone the mermaid yakuza can beat (since even she isn’t confident about her chances against him) and negotiates a truce with the ghost boy.
* Meaningful Name: Danny mocks LaCienega Boulevardez for her first name meaning “Swampy” in English and finds it appropriate because of her foul and toxic personality.
* More Deadly Than the Male: Played with regarding Ren Seto as she’s much stronger than her hotheaded husband Gozaburo but is far more reasonable.
* Mythology Gag: Violet Parr’s superhero name here is “Miss Disappear” just like in NeoMark’s other story “Danny Phantom Meets The Incredibles”.
* Never My Fault: Dash completely refuses to accept that it's his own bullying and Jerkass nature that makes Danny's dates hate his guts.
* Nice Girl: Trudy Proud is much more understanding towards Penny than Oscar and is fine with her being with Danny as he makes her happy.
* No Sense of Personal Space: Jen Masterson makes Dash pay for putting his hand on her without her permission by smacking him in the face.
* No Sympathy: Danny is fine with leaving Princess Pony Head frozen in the bathroom as payback for being a total jerk to him on his blind date with Star and while her father King Pony Head is willing to free he accurately guesses she brought this on herself by picking a fight with somebody.
* “Not So Different” Remark: Marinette considers Paulina “a Latina version of Chloe” since they're both major Alpha Bitch Spoiled Brats chasing after a guy who isn't interested in them.
* Not So Similar: Danny notes that the only thing Liz has in common with Paulina is that they're both beautiful Hispanic cheerleaders in high school with a history of bullying but Liz has Hidden Depths and evetually outgrew her mean girl ways while Paulina refuses to change.
* Offended by an Inferior’s Success: It confuses and enrages Dash that Danny's dates would rather date a Nice Guy social outcast like him but refuse to give the time of day to a Big Jerk on Campus like himself.
* Old Shame:
* Danny brings up the time Marinette used to stalk him when they started dated in the timeline he chose her.
* Kimiko likes to bring up the time Danny used his powers to sneak into the girls locker room just to mess with him, after being informed by Tucker, in the timeline he chooses her.
* Once Done, Never Forgotten:
* Danny always reminds Marinette of when she used to stalk him when they began dating in the timeline he chose her.
* Kimiko can’t resist bringing up the time Danny used his powers to sneak into the girls locker room just to troll him, after Tucker tells her about it, in the timeline he chooses her.
* One-Man Army: Danny very easily beats up the mermaid yakuza thugs alone and Ren Seto confirms he was holding back a lot.
* Overprotective Dad: Danny finds Oscar Proud to be an even worse one than his own dad Jack because he won’t let his daughter Penny date a boy until marriage.
* Pervert Revenge Mode: Jen Masterson slaps Dash in the face for putting his hand on her without her permission and obnoxiously hitting on her while she’s on a blind date with Danny.
* Pet the Dog:
* Danny comes to Tucker’s defense when LaCienega Boulevardez insults him.
* Unlike Oscar, Suga Mama and Trudy Proud are fine with Penny dating Danny because they can see he’s a decent boy.
* Oscar doesn’t believe Danny’s lie that Penny turned him down to see a movie but won’t punish her for going on a date with a boy behind his back since he doesn’t have any proof to confirm his suspicions.
* Suga Mama is apologetic for hitting Oscar for correcting her about Danny’s name being “Danny Phantom” instead of “Inviso-Bill” when Danny admits Oscar is right and offers to let his next jab at her slide.

* Rhetorical Question Blunder: When Danny asks any of the monsters if they can fight so they can help him deal with the Guys in White, Heath Burns rhetorically asks if they look that dangerous only to accidentally light his own hands on fire.
* Screw Your Ultimatum!: After breaking mermaid law, the mermaid yakuza give Danny the option of marrying Lunar Edomae to avoid execution but he’s having none of that and chooses to fight them instead at least until Ren Seto convinces him to call a truce to avoid future conflict.
* Sexual Predator Bully: All of Danny's dates are completely repulsed by Dash Baxter for being an immature, dimwitted, violent, and lecherous bully who feels entitled towards them merely for being a popular jock.
* Shipper on Deck: Besides Oscar, the entire Proud family supports Penny’s interest in a good kid like Danny.
* Shipping Torpedo: Oscar doesn’t like Penny dating boys in general so he’s against the idea of her going out with Danny.
* Shout-Out: Danny makes one to Yu-Gi-Oh! when he sarcastically asks Ren Seto if they decide someone’s fate with a children’s card game for breaking the mermaid code.
* Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Penny falls for Danny after he stands up to the Alpha Bitch LaCienega Boulevardez and covers for her when her dad Oscar finds them by lying about her turning him down to see a movie so she won’t get in trouble for dating a boy.
* Smarter Than You Look:
* Oscar Proud doesn’t buy Danny’s story that Penny turned him down to see a movie and knows they were dating, especially since she has a history of almost always joining her friends whenever they’re dating, something Trudy agrees with. He also knows Danny Phantom’s name isn’t “Inviso-Bill” and corrects Suga Mama on it.
* Danny has a good enough grasp of Spanish to know that LaCienega Boulevardez’s first name means “Swampy” as well as understand and translate for Papi Boulevardez.
* Stalker with a Crush:
* Donnie secretly follows April while she’s on a blind date with Danny.
* Marinette was temporarily this to Danny when they started going out, which he won't let her forget.

* Took a Level in Kindness: Liz confesses to Danny that she used to be as snobby and unpleasant as Paulina before she befriended Peter Parker.
* Unfortunate Names: Danny reveals to Penny that LaCienega Boulevardez’s first name means “Swampy” in English, much to her amusement, and calls LaCienega that just to taunt her.
* Violently Protective Girlfriend:
* While Sakura isn't Danny's girlfriend, she's more than willing to defens him from Dash and the other jocks when they harass them on their blind dates.

* Villainous Crush: Jinx flirts with Danny while the Hive Five are fighting him and Starfire.
* Villainous Valor:
* Garrett Krebs refuses to surrender no matter how outmatched he is by Danny so the ghost boy just traps him in the Fenton Thermos.
* The Seto Group won’t back down from fighting Danny no matter how much he beats them up so Ren Seto ends the feud by negotiating a peaceful resolution with the ghost boy.
* Warts and All: King Pony Head sincerely loves his daughter Princess Pony Head but is exasperated to no end by her troublesome personality and isn't the least bit surprised when he finds her frozen solid in the bathroom since he correctly guesses she brought it on herself for messing with someone dangerous like Danny.
* Wasted Beauty: All of Danny's dates are too repulsed by Dash for being an oafish thug to care about his looks, popularity, or athleticism; even Jen who usually prefers attractive jocks.

TMDDF: Danny Chooses Alex After the Many Dates:
* All for Nothing: Clover’s attempt to pair Alex with Dale was never going to work out because she likes Danny too much to leave him and instantly despised Dale upon finding out how much of a Jerk Jock bully he is when he harassed her boyfriend.
* Badass Normal: The spies don’t have powers but can take on bullies and bad guys with just their wits, gadgets, and martial arts.
* Brainless Beauty: Deconstruced as Kwan and Dash believing all attractive girls are like this cause Sam and Clover to hate them for their sexist attitudes and dump food on them then leave during the middle of their date.
* Bullying a Dragon: Dale refuses to leave Alex alone despite her being more than capable of beating him up.
* Didn't Think This Through: Clover thought Dale would make a better boyfriend for Alex than Danny solely because he's a handsome and popular athlete but it never occurred to her that Alex is too loyal to ever leave Danny and her ignorance of Dale's personality only causes Alex to hate him for being an obnoxious bully.
* Everyone Has Standards: Alex might be boy-crazy and did initially like Dale for being a handsome jock but she chooses to stay with her Nice Guy boyfriend Danny.
* Excellent Judge of Character: Alex loves Danny for being a Nice Guy and ends up completely hating Dale for being an immature Jerk Jock who bullies her boyfriend.
* The Gentleman or the Scoundrel: While Alex was initially attracted to Dale for his athleticism and good looks, she still chooses to stay with her actual boyfriend the Nice Guy Danny and ends up loathing Dale anyway when the Jerk Jock tries to beat up Danny because Alex chose him so she physically forces the bully to back off.
* Horrible Judge of Character:
* Played with and subverted with Alex as she did initially regard Dale as boyfriend material just because he's a muscular jock but she still preferred her Nice Guy boyfriend Danny and quickly ended up hatiing Dale when she saw how much of a violent jerk he is.
* Played with and subverted with Sam as she did agree to go on a double date with Kwan along with Dash and Clover just because they're jocks only to end up hating them for not having any plans after high school and assuming all pretty girls aren't smart.
* Hypocrite: Clover initially doesn't see Danny as a good enough boyfriend for her friend Alex mainly for shallow reasons since he isn't a hunky guy who's into sports like her but she tries to set Alex up with Dale solely because he's a handsome jock despite Alex already being with Danny and she ends up hating Dale anyway for being a Jerk Jock bully. Plus, Clover hardly has the best taste in men herself given her abysmal track record with relationships since she dated the Dumb Jock Dash and only went out with Ron Stoppable because of his money.
* Jerkass Has a Point: Jeremy, Pamela, and Ida punish Sam for paying Tucker to break into Alex's house since she basically committed crime.
* Not Good with Rejection: Dale tries to hit Danny because he blames him for ruining his chance with Alex since she won’t leave him until she forces him to leave her boyfriend alone then he tries to attack her for not going out with him until Dash tells him to back off because it’s not worth the trouble.
* Not Helping Your Case: Dale wants to go out with Alex but his bullying of her boyfriend Danny and generally Jerkass personality just make her hate his guts.
* Smart Ball: Dash stops Dale from attacking Alex because he knows it’s a bad idea.
* Would Hit a Girl: Dale tries to attack Alex for rejecting him but Dash stops him out of pragmatism.

Blackfire:

* Adaptational Badass: She never beat Starfire in the show but here she’s VERY capable of defeating her little sister in a fight even without an Amplifier Artifact.

Danny Phantom Vs The Kentucky Goblins:
* Attempted Homewrecker: Sally May Hackford has no problem hitting on Danny despite him already being with Sam, even if she is right about them being a lousy couple and the goth being a bad girlfriend.

* The Friend Nobody Likes: Sam becomes this in the end when everyone loses patience with her selfishness after she puts them all in danger for putting her personal agenda over the mission.
* Horrible Judge of Character: Uncle Cletus and Alicia actually think Maddie would’ve been better off marrying Vlad just because he’s rich and don’t care that he was a Jerkass supervillain who only regards her as a trophy and tried to take over the world.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* While not an excuse to try to steal Danny, Sally May is right that his relationship with Sam isn’t that strong and that the goth girl is a terrible girlfriend.
* Despite his reasons, Zeb Jr is correct that Sally May should give up on Danny since he already has a girlfriend and isn’t interested in her anyway.
* While they’re only saying it out of shallow elitism, Sam’s parents are right that it’s for the best that she and Danny broke up because they made a lousy couple plus she can find somebody else so there’s no point in remaining upset over it.

* Zeb Jr is right that Sally May’s feelings for Danny are inappropriate, even if he’s only saying it because he disapproves of her liking a city boy who’s also a McKirk.
* Sam’s parents are only saying it for shallow reasons but they’re right that her and Danny made a bad couple and it’s better for them that they broke up.
* With Us or Against Us: As far as Paulina is concerned, Valerie isn’t one of the A-Listers anymore so Star should bully her like they do with Team Phantom.

Danny Phantom Vs The Wendigo:
* Alliance of Revenge: Danny’s rogues gallery team up to destroy him, even calling themselves the Danny Phantom Revenge Squad.
* Cracks in the Icy Façade: Star is introduced as your typical Beta Bitch but shows signs of a nicer side by refusing to join Paulina in mocking Danny for being close to her little sister Dani since she actually finds their close bond cute and leaves without causing trouble then comes to Danny’s defense with Kwan’s help when Dash tries to bully him after the Wendigo’s attack on Amity Park and later she along with Kwan secretly leave gifts for Danny Phantom as thanks for everything he’s done for the town.
* Dramatic Irony: After being arrested for putting Chloe in danger during the Beast’s rampage, Madame Dubois thinks that she would’ve been better off marrying Jean-Luc Bevier while not knowing that he was killed by the Beast and even if he weren’t he wouldn’t have been interested in an unattractive old hag like her.
* Everyone Has Standards: Danny doesn’t like Star but still protects her from Paulina when she’s under the Wendigo’s curse.
* False Friend: Sam points out to Kwan that the A-Listers are this and he can do better than them.
* The Friend Nobody Likes: Sam is still this on account of failing to learn her lesson about the importance of compromise during the Kentucky Goblin incident because her protest to try to get Nasty Burger to replace all the meat in their dishes with tofu not only gets Team Phantom banned for a month, but Valerie fired. Even Kwan of all people calls her out on being a bad friend.
* Laser-Guided Karma: Madame Dubois is arrested for endangering Chloe’s life during the Beast’s rampage.
* Siding with the Suffering: Star and Kwan protect Danny from Dash’s bullying in the end out of gratitude for his family stopping the Wendigo and disgust at Dash for being an Ungrateful Bastard.
* Villainous Valor: Skulker is willing to put his feud with Danny on hold until he defeats the Wendigo and stops the Danny Phantom Revenge Squad from interfering.
* With Friends Like These…: Sam makes it clear to Kwan he can make way better friends than jerks like the A-Listers who only care about status and popularity.

Danny Phantom Vs The Beast of Gévaudan:
* Accidental Misnaming: Chloe’s father Michael calls Danny “Dennis” until Chloe corrects her.
* Actually Pretty Funny: Danny can’t help but laugh when Dani admits she used to pee in alleys when she was living on the streets.
* Adaptational Nice Guy: Kwan is also this to his Stranded counterpart since he and Star broke up due to him being a terrible boyfriend that would frequently ignore and cheat on her while also refusing to stand up to the A-Listers for either of their sakes and being a Peer-Pressured Bully who was subservient to the other popular kids, here they still break up but they do it on much more pleasant terms since they agree they’re Better as Friends and Kwan forms an Odd Friendship with Sam that causes him to warm to Team Phantom enough to defend them from the A-Listers bullying.
* Adorkable: Chloe likes Danny for being this, especially since he reminds her of an old crush she had who she only found to be an admirable dork.
* Affectionate Nickname: Chloe’s mother Lillian calls her “Peanut”.
* Always Someone Better: Stella tells Danny she believes he can be a much better boyfriend for Star than all her past boyfriends because he can encourage her to be a better person with his Nice Guy nature.
* Ascended Fanboy: Kwan is just as much of a fan of Danny Phantom as the rest of the A-Listers and gets to hang out with him after finding out about his secret identity.
* Ascended Fangirl: Star has always been a huge fan of Danny Phantom like the rest of the A-List and goes on a date with Danny after learning about his secret identity.
* Blue Blood: Stella is revealed to come from an Old Money family.
* Brutal Honesty: Stella makes it clear to Star that she considers all the football players she dated in the past to be nothing but delinquents with no future ahead of them and Danny is a huge improvement because he actually has one.
* Changing Yourself for Love: After falling in love with Danny, Star slowly transitions into a better person.
* Covert Pervert: Danny can’t help but enjoy the surprise Forceful Kiss Star gives him on the lips and does find her beautiful.
* Dating What Daddy Hates: Neither Johnathan nor Stella ever approved of Star’s past football player boyfriends for being delinquents that have no future ahead of them.
* Everyone Can See It: Alain picks up on Sam’s lingering feelings for Danny, which isn’t hard due to her Clingy Jealousy Girl behavior towards him as well as her blatant hostility towards Star and Chloe for liking him.
* Everyone Has Standards: Coach Tetslaff might favor the A-Listers but she won’t tolerate any football being played during lunch and forces Dash to leave Danny alone after he throws a football at him in the cafeteria.
* Extreme Omnivore: Danny mentions to Star that his sister Dani will eat anything and will feed her any dishes he makes in the future to see if they’re any good.
* Future Loser: Stella points out to Star that all the delinquent football players she dated in the past will become this because they have no future ahead of them, unlike Danny.
* Give Geeks a Chance: Chloe reveals to Alain that she likes Danny for this reason and because he reminds her of a boy she loved in middle school who had black hair and was also kind of a dork.
* Good Is Not Nice: Stella assures Danny that her daughter Star is a decent person underneath her abrasive personality.
* Head-Turning Beauty: Both Danny and Tucker find Chloe and Star quite attractive.
* I Just Want to Have Friends: Deconstructed as it’s implied that Star only hangs out with the popular kids out of loneliness since her parents weren’t around much while she was growing up but it’s obvious to them they’re not GOOD friends since they only hang out for shallow reasons and enable her daughter’s Jerkass behavior. It’s reconstructed when Stella informs Danny he can be a much better friend to her daughter than the Spoiled Brat A-Listers ever were by bringing out Star’s better qualities with his Nice Guy nature.
* I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: While Ember and Valerie are upset that Danny is dating Star, they’re just glad he’s happy.
* Inferiority Superiority Complex: Star acts like your typical Beta Bitch but is very self-conscious of how others view her and hates being seen as a “satellite” instead of a person.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* When Star complains about Danny and Sam's cold treatment of her they immediately remind her that they're not friends and don't even like her due to her past Beta Bitch behavior, which isn't helped by the fact that she's still pretty rude, arrogant, and insensitive despite her sincere efforts to turn a new leaf.
* Johnathan questions Stella on why she’s so determined to have their daughter Star befriend Danny Fenton who they only just met.
* Stella isn’t shy when it comes to informing Star that she never approved of her past boyfriends because they were delinquent football players with no future ahead of them and Danny is a major step-up for having actual goals.
* Lazy Bum: Stella is blunt when informing her daughter Star that all the football players she dated are just delinquents without a future ahead of them.
* Not So Above It All:
* While Danny doesn’t consider Star girlfriend material because of her unpleasant personality and past bullying, he admits he still finds her physically attractive and enjoys the surprise Forceful Kiss he gives her.
* Stella is usually mature but is openly jealous of Johnathan’s work associate Solene.
* Oblivious to Hatred: Star and Kwan are surprised by how much Danny has grown to hate the A-Listers for all their bullying and makes it clear to the former to stay away from him while they’re in Paris because he refuses to have anything to do with the popular kids.
* Oblivious to Love: Subverted for Danny since, despite Star’s expectations, he picks up on her romantic interest in him and agrees to go on a date with him in Amity Park by taking her to Nasty Burger and the movies.
* Parental Sexuality Squick: Star would rather hang out with Kwan and Tucker or even spend detention with Coach Tetslaff than see her parents be affectionate with each other.
* Pet the Dog:
* Star is fine with Kwan hanging out with Team Phantom and joins them, mainly for the chance to thank Danny from a crazed Wendigo-cursed Paulina.
* Danny agrees to tell Star and Kwan his origin story of becoming Danny Phantom after defeating the Beast for good since he figures he owes them that much and a date with Star for everything they had to go through for his sake.
* After the Beast incident, Star and Chloe agree that while they don’t like each other they can at least form a truce for Danny’s sake and give him time to recover before letting him decide which of them he likes.
* Stella helps Star prepare for her date with Danny when they get back to Amity Park by getting her a new dress as well as having a stylist work on her hair and nails since she did the same thing when she dated Johnathan.
* After returning to Amity Park, Star and Kwan defend Danny from Dash’s bullying and even Coach Tetslaff forces him to leave the Fenton boy alone after he throws a football at him during lunch.
* Danny shares all his adventures with Star and Kwan.
* Lillian and Michael are supportive of their daughter Chloe’s relationship with Danny.
* School Bullying Is Harmless: Completely averted with Team Phantom because they rightfully despise the A-Listers(with the exception of Kwan because he’s the least awful) for constantly harassing them just because they’re stuck-up jerks and make it clear to Star they only barely reluctantly tolerate her because she’s friends with Kwan.
* Sheltered Aristocrat: Star has shades of this since she comes from an Old Money Blue Blood family but can be ignorant and naive when it comes to social interacting with people who aren’t Spoiled Brats like the A-Listers such as Danny since he has no tolerance for her Rich Bitch attitude. Stella is hoping that starting a relationship with the Fenton boy will help her daughter grow out of this by being a positive influence who can help her understand the real world better like Johnathan did herself.
* Shipper on Deck:
* Jack and Maddie are just as ok as Dani is with Star dating Danny.
* Chloe’s parents Michael and Lillian are alright with her interest in Danny.
* Smarter Than You Look: Star expects Danny to be clueless about her feelings for him like he was with Sam when she asks him to hang out with her at Nasty Burger so he can explain to her his origin story of how he became Danny Phantom but he makes it clear he’s well aware she’s asking him out on a date and accepts.
* Unrequited Love Lasts Forever: Alain can tell that Sam still has feelings for Danny despite them breaking up, her obvious jealousy of Chloe and Star for their romantic interest in him was certainly a dead giveaway.
* Upper-Class Twit: Downplayed with Star as she comes off as a vapid Valley Girl Beta Bitch but her growing friendship with Danny is helping her grow out of it and her mother Stella claims she gets good grades.

Sally May Hackford:
* Attempted Homewrecker: She has no problem hitting on Danny despite him already dating Sam, even if she is right about them being a lousy couple and the goth girl being a bad girlfriend. She drops it after accepting he’s not interested but settles for being friends with him, although she still retains her feelings for him.
* Jerkass Has a Point: While not an excuse to try to steal Danny, she is right that his relationship with Sam isn’t that strong and that the goth girl is a lousy girlfriend, which eventually leads to them breaking up.
* No Sense of Personal Space: She loves invading Danny’s personal space, while being oblivious to his discomfort but she eventually realizes it’s unacceptable and apologizes to him.
* Token Good Teammate: Clinginess aside, she is the nicest of the Hackfords and couldn’t care less about their feud with the McKirks.

A Possible Encounter for a Phantom:
* A Man Is Always Eager: Downplayed but Danny can’t stop himself from making out with Kim while she’s temporarily under the effect of Ember’s love song.
* Academic Athlete: Kim is a talented cheerleader and martial artist who gets straight As.
* Accidental Hero: Bonnie unknowingly frees Kim from the effects of Ember’s love song by giving Danny a Forceful Kiss right in front of her.
* Accidental Truth: Two police officers mistakenly believe Danielle is Danny's little sister and new sidekick when they foil a crime, they’re technically correct since she’s related to him due to being his clone and does help him fight villains.
* Action Girl:
* Kim Possible is an experienced martial artist who can beat ghosts like Skulker without technology.
* Yuri has no powers but is a skilled ninja.
* Dani has the same ghost powers as Danny due to being his clone.
* Nana Possible is a tough old lady who can fight opponents stronger than Danny.
* Actually Pretty Funny:
* Everyone laughs at Dash’s expense when Dani (who is disguised as Danny) mocks him for being too much of a wimpy Dirty Coward to bully Team Phantom when Kim is around because he knows he’s no match for her.
* Bonnie can’t help but be amused by how ridiculous her older sisters look when Danny tricks them into having a food fight with each other, especially since their mother Nonnie grounds them for it.
* Adaptational Angst Upgrade:
* Bonnie is shown to be much more miserable about her troubled home life here than in canon since she has low self-esteem from her older sisters bullying and her father not being around.
* While Bonnie’s mother was shown to be a cheerful Nice Girl in canon, Bonnie admits to Danny that her mom Nonnie isn’t as happy as she appears to be and he suspects it might be because of her Disappeared Dad.
* Adaptational Badass: Thanks to Shego’s advice, Dr. Drakken upgrades the Bebes durability so they’ll be tough enough to tangle with superhumans like Danny Phantom.
* Adaptational Intelligence:
* Unlike in canon, Mr. Lancer realizes how problematic Dash’s bullying truly is when he goes too far by trying to throw a cooler’s contents at Kim in front of the school just for turning him down and decides to stop favoring the A-Listers so he lets Kim give Dash a blackeye as revenge.
* In canon, Tucker was interested in any pretty girl he met no matter how rude she was (granted he was more than happy to ditch Star after getting sick of being treated like a servant by her) but here he gives up on Bonnie instantly when she proves even meaner than Paulina by calling him a loser upon meeting him for the first time.
* Adaptational Nice Guy: In Flower princess11’s story The Many Dates, Sam was very hostile to Kim upon meeting her because she was dating Danny but here while she starts off jealous of her because of their obvious chemistry, she quickly grows to respect her after Kim stands up to the A-Listers and school staff on Danny’s behalf when Dash bullies him and even apologizes to her for prematurely judging her on the assumption that she was just as bad as the snobby cheerleaders at Casper High.
* Adults Are Useless: Averted with Steven Barken as, unlike the staff at Casper High, he does not play favorites with students and has no problem punishing Dash for bullying Danny.
* Always Someone Better:
* Drakken considers Danny Phantom a much more capable partner for Kim than Ron and Shego certainly enjoys battling him when he proves to be a match for her.
* Nana Possible proves to be a tougher opponent for Danny than Kim since she beats him in a spar.
* Annoying Younger Sibling:
* Kim has to deal with the Tweebs (“twin and “dweebs”) Jim and Tim who are constantly embarrassing her, especially when it comes to her dating life.
* Connie and Lonnie regard Bonnie as this for being “the runt of the litter who got the rest while they have all the looks and brains in the family”.
* Dani can be this to Danny, even though she’s technically his clone.
* Badass Boast: Nana Possible claims to have fought stronger superheroes than Danny after beating him in a fight.
* Badass Normal:
* Yori has been trained extensively in ninjutsu and martial arts.
* Nana Possible is just an old woman but is capable of defeating Danny in a spar and claims to have fought stronger heroes than him.
* Be Careful What You Wish For: Danny wanted Kim to fall for him and it happens when Ember uses her love song to make Kim become madly in love with the ghost boy but her increasingly clingy behavior and very forward advances unnerve him to no end.
* Beam-O-War: Danny and Shego frequently engage in this during battle with their green Hand Blasts.
* Beauty Equals Goodness:
* Kim is a WAY nicer person than Paulina and Danny considers her far prettier than the mean Latina.
* Zig-zagged with Bonnie. Bonnie starts off as an aversion since Danny considers her a worse bully than Paulina but finds her hotter until she shows a more tragic and caring side after she falls for him.
* Nonnie Rockwaller is a bit of an inversion as she’s plainer-looking than her 3 gorgeous daughters but is a MUCH better person than them.
* Beauty Is Bad: Connie and Lonnie are just as attractive as their younger sister Bonnie but are even crueler bullies than her.
* Big, Screwed-Up Family: Bonnie has a Disappeared Dad, two Big Sister Bullies, and an oblivious Stepford Smiler mother.
* Bigotry Exception:
* Sam generally hates cheerleaders with a burning passion as a result of being bullied by the A-Lister Cruel Cheerleaders at Casper High but grows to sincerely admire Kim for being the exact opposite of them: friendly, kind, and staunchly against bullies like Dash.
* Danny is so used to dealing with Jerk Jocks that he's completely flabbergasted upon meeting the Lovable Jock Brick Flagg but grows to like him enough to pity him for being stuck with someone as unpleasant as Bonnie Rockwaller.
* Blaming the Victim: As far as Bonnie is concerned, Danny left her no choice but to blackmail him into dating her because of his constant rejections.
* Blue Means Cold: Unlike his green ecto-beams, Danny’s cryokinesis has a blue color and surrounds him in a blue aura.
* Bonding Over Dislikes:
* Danny and Kim bond over the fact they both hate the A-Listers, especially Dash and Paulina, for being horrible snobs.
* One thing Danny and Bonnie always agree on is that her older sisters and Dash Baxter are horrible people.
* The Bore: While Dani is taking Danny’s place at Casper High she comes to understand why math is his weakest subject, Mr. Falluca’s lectures are so boring she can barely stay awake in his math class and considers the man to be a total snore.
* Broken Ace: Bonnie is one of the most popular girls of Middleton High who even Danny considers prettier and better at cheerleading than Alpha Bitch Paulina Sanchez but she suffers from very low self-esteem that she hides behind her bitchy attitude due to her Big Sister Bullies, clueless Stepford Smiler mother, and absent father.
* Brutal Honesty: Dani tells Sam it’s pretentious to refer to herself as an ultra-recyclo-vegetarian instead of a vegan just because she finds it too mainstream due to her fixation with wanting to be unique.
* Bully Hunter:
* Mr. Lancer becomes fine with Kim beating up Dash when he tries to throw a cooler’s contents at her in public until Danny jumps in to take the hit.
* Mr. Barkin punishes Dash for trying to beat up Danny in gym class by forcing him to run laps.
* Bully Turned Buddy: After warming up to each other, Bonnie and Danny form a bizarre kind of friendship with some romantic tension between them.
* Butter Face: Extremely downplayed with Nonnie Rockwaller as she is by no means hideous and has an attractive slim figure but is plain in comparison to her three beautiful daughters.
* The Cameo: Sir Milton Hamalot, a ghost villain featured only in the Nickelodeon children's book Danny Phantom: Stage Fright, briefly appears in chapter 49 only to be defeated by Dani.
* Captive Date: Bonnie blackmails Danny into taking her on a date to the movies until Kim forces her to back off by threatening to tell her sisters that she’s been using their credit cards without permission.
* Cassandra Truth: The Middleton police officer doesn’t believe Danny’s claim of not being a student at Middleton High School until Steven Barkin confirms he doesn’t attend his school.
* Chivalrous Pervert: Bonnie becomes a Rare Female Example towards Danny. She’s very enamored with Danny and can’t pass up giving him Forceful Kisses, but she develops a soft spot towards him since she defends him from her older sisters insults and helps him with his hero business by shutting off the anti-ghost shield that protects the soldiers’ truck in “Chapter 78: An Uneasy Alliance” (albeit at the price of taking her on a 4 hour movie date and a kiss).
* Combat Pragmatist: It doesn’t matter to Dani that Sir Milton Hamalot won't fight her for being a girl since she still attacks and captures him in the Fenton Thermos.
* Comically Lopsided Rivalry:
* Both Kim and Bonnie make it brutally clear that they’d never associate with a moronic Jerk Jock like Dash Baxter, Danny or no Danny in their lives, since the former has to beat him up just to make him leave her alone and the latter tells him to his face in public that she’d never date a “loser” like him.
* Bonnie has so little chance with Danny that she has to blackmail him into going out with her and staying away from Kim.
* Cool Versus Awesome: Artificial Hybrid Spider-Man Send-Up Kid Hero Danny Phantom fights Teen Superspy Badass Normal Action Girl Kim Possible.
* Covert Pervert: Danny and Bonnie have these moments with each other:
* While Danny doesn’t like Bonnie, he does admit he finds her attractive as he can’t help but admire her body while overshadowing her in “Chapter 36: Bonnie” to erase a photo she took of him kissing Kim by putting Bonnie’s hands on her hips and smiling as well as commenting on how hot she is, much to Kim’s annoyance.
* Danny admits he probably wouldn’t mind kissing Ember of his own free will if he wasn’t so interested in Kim.
* While holding Danny in “Chapter 41: A Rocking Night Out”, Bonnie can’t help but feel him up and finds herself pleasantly surprised by how well-toned he is underneath his shirt.
* Bonnie, who’s wearing a green pajama shirt and blue pajama pants, is snuggling with Danny Phantom (while he’s in ghost form) in her bed while she's sleeping by holding him on her left side and her right leg is tangled over Danny’s legs and the bedsheet covers are down but can hide their lower legs, Danny’s face is as red as a tomato, and Danny is looking at her face, their mouths are so close that they almost kissed in “Chapter 63: Not-So-Sweet Dreams”.
* Crazy Prepared:
* The Faction acquire anti-ghost weaponry that can hurt Danny.
* Thanks to Shego’s counsel, Drakken reinforces the Bebes durability so they’ll be a match for Danny Phantom in a fight.
* David vs. Goliath: Kim is the David to Danny’s Goliath. Kim has martial arts training and greater fighting experience that have been drilled into her since childhood, whereas Danny defeats his foes with overwhelming power, ferocity, and Combo Platter Powers. In a rarity for this dynamic, Goliath comes out on top. While Kim’s training and skill allow her to hang for a time, Danny is much stronger, tougher, and packs more destructive raw power that nullify the typical advantages she would usually enjoy as the David.
* Desperately Craves Affection: Other than her mother, Bonnie isn’t close with anyone and latches onto Danny when he shows her genuine kindness by standing up to her verbally abusive older sisters despite her unpleasant personality and his blatant dislike of her Alpha Bitch behavior.
* Distaff Counterpart: Bonnie is essentially a female version of Dash as they’re both cruel athletes who use their popularity and athleticism as an excuse to bully others, especially the hero of their respective schools and have an unrequited crush on the hero’s love interest who can’t stand them for their repulsive Jerkass personalities.
* The Dog Bites Back: Bonnie is willing to get back at her mean older sisters by stealing their credit cards for personal use and taking an embarrassing photo of them after Danny tricks into getting into a food fight with each other.
* Double Entendre: Shego makes one when she calls Danny “a little too inexperienced” for her during their first battle, which isn’t lost on him.
* The Dreaded: The Fright Knight is one of the few villains Danny is scared of and he advises Kim that underestimating him is a BIG mistake.
* Dude, Not Funny!:
* Unlike all the other teens at the mall, Bonnie is NOT amused in the slightest when Jerk Jock Dash throws trash at Nathan for fun, which she makes clear by outright telling him she’d never date a loser like him for being so immature.
* Danny does not appreciate Mego’s snarky remarks towards Kim while she has amnesia (such as when she was hiding while the heroes were fighting the bad guys) and forces him to apologize to her by dangling him upside down.
* Dumb Blonde: Both Brick and Dash have blonde hair and are Dumb Jocks (something Bonnie quickly notes).
* Dumbass Has a Point: Ron rightfully considers Dash a pathetic jerk for being a bully, especially a cowardly one who runs scared from Kim when he sees her.
* Easily Forgiven: Danny doesn’t hold it against Team Go and Yori for attacking him under the mistaken assumption that he’s an enemy after they apologize when the misunderstanding is cleared up.
* Elite Mooks: The Bebes become this for Drakken when Shego instructs him to make them tough enough to fight Danny.
* Entitled to Have You: Dani points out to Tucker that Sam’s possessive attitude towards Danny is NOT ok because she doesn’t own him so she has no right to get upset when he’s spending time with other girls like Kim. While Tucker agrees he warns her not to say that around Sam.
* Exact Words: In Chapter 8, Dash says Kim wouldn't beat him up in front of Mr. Lancer. Feeling like Dash deserves the beating, Mr. Lancer comes up with an excuse to vacate the area, leaving Kim free to give the Jerk Jock a black-eye.
* Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Gender-Inverted and downplayed with the Alpha Bitch Bonnie who is very close with her mother Nonnie despite her constantly embarrassing her.
* Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Drakken and Shego plan to use the Terakon army to destroy Vlad Plasmius and anyone who won’t side with them except for his cousin Motor Ed since they’re having Christmas at his place this year.
* Even Evil Has Standards:
* Shego considers Aviarius a pathetic and annoying excuse for a supervillain.
* Sir Milton Hamalot won’t attack a girl like Dani Phantom.
* Everyone Has Standards:
* Hego puts an end to Mego and Danny’s quarreling so they’ll remember to focus on stopping the bad guys and helping Kim get her memories back.
* While Bonnie enjoys verbally abusing, sabotaging, and humiliating her peers (especially Kim), she draws the line at physical bullying and is repulsed by Dash for throwing trash at Nathan out of some immature idea for fun.
* Eviler than Thou: "Evil" is a stretch but even a mean girl like Bonnie finds Dash too obnoxious and immature to be around since he physically bullies people such as Nathan by throwing trash at him.
* Excellent Judge of Character: Both Kim and Bonnie vastly prefer the Nice Guy Danny Fenton over the idiotic Jerk Jock Dash Baxter.
* Feet of Clay: Although Will Du is said to be Global Justice's top agent, and maintains a professional attitude, he’s pretty much useless in the field, especially since he's too stubborn to work with the heroes, it's why Dr. Director regulated him to office jobs.
* Females Are More Innocent: Unlike the Hate Sink Jerk Jock Dash, Bonnie actually possesses a Freudian excuse as well as standards and redeeming qualities such as her genuine love for her mom Nonnie, disdain for Dash’s physical bullying, and growing friendship with Danny.
* Friendless Background: Bonnie might get along with the other Middleton High cheerleaders (except for Kim), but she isn’t really close with them and latches onto Danny as her Only Friend.
* Freaky Is Cool: Finding out Danny’s secret identity didn’t make Bonnie lose interest in him, if anything it only makes her even more into him upon learning he’s secretly a popular superhero.
* The Gadfly: Dani calls Kim Danny’s girlfriend just to annoy Sam.
* Genius Bruiser: While Shego isn’t as smart as her boss Drakken, she has a great deal more common sense than him as she advises him to use reverse psychology to successfully manipulate the Bebes into doing his bidding and gives him the idea to improve their durability so they can hold their own against Danny Phantom in a fight.
* Give Geeks a Chance:
* Kim grows to love Danny for his Nice Guy nature regardless of his unpopularity.
* Danny has the suspicion that Kim likes her best friend Ron in more than just a platonic way.
* Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: This applies to both the heroes and villains:
* Danny is a laid-back Nice Guy while Bonnie is an apathetic Alpha Bitch.
* Drakken is a Laughably Evil Large Ham Mad Scientist while Shego is a moody Deadpan Snarker.
* Good Counterpart:
* Kim is this to the Cruel Cheerleaders of Casper High as she’s a genuinely humble Nice Girl who doesn’t care about popularity and is close with Team Phantom regardless of their social status.
* Bonnie is becoming this to Paulina Sanchez as she is only a two-dimensional Alpha Bitch Spoiled Brat with a shallow crush on Danny’s ghostly self for his powers while Bonnie possesses Hidden Depths, has a Freudian Excuse for her behavior, possesses enough standards to refuse to associate with a Jerk Jock bully like Dash Baxter, and slowly turns into a better person after genuinely falling in love with both sides of Danny for his Nice Guy nature.
* Good Is Not Nice:
* Mego is just as much of a dedicated hero as his brothers but can be a rude and egotistical jerk.
* Bonnie evolves into this thanks to her growing friendship with Danny bringing out her nicer side but she’s still an unpleasant person who will mainly help the heroes for her own benefit.
* Good Is Not Soft:
* Jazz flat-out threatens to feed Sam to the Terakon the next time she prioritizes her own agenda over the team’s mission and safety after she foolishly sets it off on rampage by freeing it from Vlad and Drakken’s control.
* Danny is fine with threatening Mego into apologizing to Kim for his rudeness and promises to make him lose his clothes in public if he doesn’t help get the Terakon fossils back from the bad guys.
* Has a Type: While Bonnie has an open preference for rich/popular guys, she’d much rather date Nice Guys like Brick and Danny over a Jerk Jock like Dash, plus in her dream she shows she finds Ron “mildly cute”.
* Hate at First Sight: Bonnie was initially interested in Dash for being a handsome jock who she could potentially use to make Danny jealous but ended up hating him when he cruelly pelted Nathan with trash at the mall.
* Hatred Makes You Dumb: Dash stubbornly refuses to drop his petty feud with Danny and Kim no matter how many times she beats him up for being a total pest or how much trouble he gets into now that the staff at Casper High no longer turns a blind-eye to this bullying after realizing how problematic his behavior is when he tries to humiliate Kim by throwing a cooler full of grape juice at her in public only for Danny to take the blow.
* Hates My Secret Identity:
* Played straight then averted with Bonnie. She starts off as a huge fan of Danny Phantom but bullies his human alter ego upon meeting him only to fall in love with him after he defends her from her Big Sister Bullies and then grows to love both sides of him after learning about his secret identity.
* The A-Listers bully Team Phantom but are huge fans of Danny Phantom with Paulina having an unrequited crush on him.
* Hidden Depths: Danny is shown to be knowledgeable of the fact that ninjas originate from Japan and Kung-Fu was invented in China.
* Hoist by His Own Petard: Vlad hiring Kim to deal with Danny leads to them teaming up and exposing him to the public as a supervillain.
* Hormone-Addled Teenager: Danny can’t help but admire the beauty of attractive older girls like Kim, Shego, and Bonnie (especially when he’s overshadowing the latter since he takes the time to admire her figure).
* I Just Want to Be Loved: Bonnie becomes very clingy towards Danny for being the first boy to defend her from her mean older sisters but she tones it down after sincerely falling in love with the Fenton boy.
* I Just Want to Be Special: Deconstructed with Sam. Dani accuses Sam of only being a ultra-recyclo-vegetarian because she’s obsessed with being “unique”, which isn’t helped by her refusal to refer to herself as a vegan because it sounds too mainstream.
* I Work Alone: Global Justice agent Will Du refuses to work with Danny and Team Possible because he views them as "amateurs" while he's a trained professional.
* Insane Troll Logic: As far as Dash is concerned, cheerleaders like Kim and Bonnie are supposed to date him just for being a popular jock regardless of how much of an annoying jerk he is to them or Danny who they vastly prefer for his Nice Guy nature.
* Irony:
* Bonnie mocked Kim for being interested in a younger social misfit like Danny only to end up falling for him herself when he defends her from her Big Sister Bullies.
* Despite Bonnie claiming to like bad boys, all the guys she shows interest in: Ron Stoppable, Brick Flagg, and Danny Fenton, are all Nice Guys while she openly dismisses Jerk Jock Dash Baxter as a loser for being too much of an immature bully by her standards.
* Team Phantom consider Bonnie Rockwaller a worse person than Paulina and even she has more standards than the Hispanic Alpha Bitch for not want anything to do with the Jerkass Dumb Jock Dash Baxter and eventually gets better after sincerely falling in love with Danny for his Nice Guy nature.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Part of the reason why Danny wants to free Kim from the effects of Ember’s love song is because her increasingly obsessive behavior towards him is starting to freak him out, which isn’t helped by Ron mentioning that she once acted the same way towards himself during the "moodulator” incident.
* Bonnie is right that Dash Baxter is too much of an immature Jerkass Dumb Jock to be boyfriend material and is better off sticking with the Nice Guy Danny or even the Lovable Jock Brick Flagg.
* Danny finds Team Go even less subtle than his father Jack because their HQ is a pair of giant towers shaped like a “G” and an “O”.
* Jazz points out to Dani that Jack is biologically her father since she was made from Danny’s DNA who is Jack’s son.
* Mr. Barkin rightfully punishes Dash for attempting to beat up Danny during gym class by making him run laps, not just because it’s unacceptable behavior but also because he’s disgusted that an athlete like him would rather waste his time and energy bullying others than exercising to improve himself. He also makes the other jocks run laps to teach them the same lesson.
* Nonnie Rockwaller is justifiably furious with her two eldest daughters Connie and Lonnie for making a mess in the kitchen when Danny tricks them into starting a food fight with each other.
* Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Mego is self-centered and egotistical, but his heroism is just as legitimate as his brothers in Team Go and loves his sister Shego despite her becoming a supervillain after quitting the team.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Star calls Paulina out on underestimating Kim's cheerleading skills due to her pride by noting that she's older and a lot more athletic than her.
* While Danny isn’t really a Jerkass, he thinks Kim likes Ron as more than just a friend (which isn’t helped by her admitting she likes him because he reminds her of Ron).
* Danny makes it clear Brick can do a lot better than Bonnie and he does develop an interest in his sister Jazz when they first meet.
* Join or Die: Drakken and Shego want to use the Terakon army to destroy Vlad Plasmius and anyone who won’t side with them.
* Kick the Dog: Mego makes a crack about an amnesiac Kim not being so heroic when she’s cowering during the battle against supervillains which Danny forces him to apologize for.
* Know When to Fold ‘Em: Sam gives up on antagonizing Kim out of jealousy for Danny liking her after seeing her easily throw Dash onto a school cafeteria table when he harasses him.
* Laser-Guided Karma: After Dash humiliates Nathan at the mall by throwing trash at him, Bonnie humiliates him by publicly rejecting him and calling him a loser who will never be worth her time for being such an immature Jerkass Dumb Jock.
* Lethal Chef: Kim admits to Danny that she’s a terrible cook.
* A Lighter Shade of Black: Señor Senior, Senior only takes up supervillainy as a hobby out of boredom rather than genuine malice and is a fairly affable guy.
* Like an Old Married Couple: Danny has this dynamic with Bonnie since they get on each other's nerves due to their drastically different personalities but are physically attracted to each other and develop a genuine bond after growing to appreciate each other's positive qualities.
* Lovable Alpha Bitch: Bonnie is becoming a downplayed example as, unlike Paulina, she possesses a Freudian Excuse and redeeming qualities such as her genuine love for her mother Nonnie, growing friendship with Danny out of gratitude for defending her from her mean older sisters taunting, and utter disdain for Dash’s despicable bullying.
* Love at First Sight: Jazz and Brick can’t help but be interested in each other upon meeting for the first time.
* Love Interest vs. Lust Interest: Paulina is the Lust Interest to Kim's Love Interest as she only likes Danny's ghost-half for his powers and status as a popular superhero, while Kim has always loved Danny for his Nice Guy nature and couldn't care less about how unpopular he is.
* Love Redeems: Bonnie starts to slowly shed her Alpha Bitch attitude and possessiveness towards Danny as she grows closer to the Fenton boy.
* Loved by All:
* Brick Flagg gets along well with the heroes for his Lovable Jock personality (enough for Jazz to develop a crush on him) and while Bonnie thinks lowly of his intelligence, she vastly prefers him over Jerk Jock Dash Baxter.
* Nonnie is the only member of the Rockwaller family that the heroes are fond of since her three daughters are spoiled Alpha Bitches (although Danny is warming up to Bonnie after she Took a Level in Kindess).
* Loving Bully: Danny suspects Bonnie is this to Ron Stoppable since she calls him “mildly cute” in her dream.
* Loves My Alter Ego: The A-Listers are total jerks to Team Phantom but are huge fans of Danny’s superhero persona with Paulina having a crush on Danny Phantom, much to his disinterest.
* Manchild: Everyone regards Dash as an immature loser who only cares about acting like an overgrown schoolyard bully.
* Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy:
* Kim is an overachieving Action Girl while Ron is an underachieving Professional Slacker.
* Kim also has this dynamic with Danny since she’s a tomboyish Badass Normal who has no problem physically manhandling bullies like Dash while Danny is a laidback Martial Pacifist.
* Penelope Spectra is a domineering Manipulative Bitch with sadistic tendencies while her assistant Bertrand is a Stoic Servile Snarker.
* Alpha Bitch Bonnie Rockwaller has an "on-again, off-again" relationship with the Lovable Jock Brick Flagg.
* The Masochism Tango: Danny flat-out questions how Lovable Jock Brick Flagg can have an "on-again, off-again" relationship with the Alpha Bitch Bonnie Rockwaller.
* Never My Fault: As far as Bonnie is concerned, Danny left her no choice but to blackmail him into being her boyfriend for always rejecting her.
* Nice Girl: Yori is a very pleasant person who is close with Team Possible and apologizes to Danny for attacking him under the mistaken assumption that he’s an enemy when it’s explained that he’s an ally.
* Nice Guy: Hego is a very friendly and courteous superhero who is happy to help out Danny and Kim.
* Nice, Mean, and In-Between: For Team Possible: Ron is the Nice as he’s an easygoing Non-Action Guy, Monique is the Mean as she’s the most sassy and temperamental, and Kim is the In-Between as she’s a Nice Girl who isn’t afraid to get physical when sufficiently agitated (usually by villains or jerks like Dash Baxter).
* No Guy Wants an Amazon: Ron admits that Brick is scared of Kim’s fighting skills but not to the same extent as Dash, who Ron finds to be a total wimp for running away at the mere sight of Kim.
* Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Paulina might be the best cheerleader at Casper High but she's nothing special compared to much more athletic and experienced cheerleaders like the ones at Middleton High since Kim considers her skills "basic" at best and Danny remarks that even Bonnie is a better cheerleader than Paulina since she's much closer Kim's level.
* Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Downplayed with Alpha Bitch Bonnie since Danny and his friends initially consider her a worse person than Paulina because of her meaner personality and underhanded methods of sabotaging Kim but Danny finds out she HAS a reason to act the way that she does courtesy of her two nasty Big Sister Bullies and absent father that’s implied to be having a her toll on her seemingly constantly perky mother.
* Not So Above It All:
* Sam admits to liking Shego’s outfit because it’s black.
* Mr. Lancer doesn’t support students fighting each other but is fine with Kim giving Dash a black-eye as payback for the Dumb Jock trying to publicly humiliate her by tossing a cooler’s contents at her only for Danny to take the hit instead in chapter 8.
* While Danny doesn’t consider Bonnie girlfriend material on account of her nasty behavior, he does find himself attracted to her in a physical sense since her beauty surpasses Paulina’s to make her almost on Kim’s level and actually enjoys the Forceful Kisses she gives him.
* “Not So Different” Remark: Mego considers Danny a flying version of his sister Shego since they’re both incredibly snarky and have green Hand Blast powers.
* Not So Similar: While Bonnie can be just as much of a rude and snobby bully as Dash and Paulina, unlike them she has a Freudian Excuse for her behavior as she’s constantly verbally abused by her mean older sisters and has a massive inferiority complex towards them and Kim that she hides behind a haughty exterior and grows to genuinely care about Danny since she sincerely appreciates him for his Nice Guy attitude.
* Old Shame: While an invisible Danny and Bonnie are trying to shut down the ghost shield so he can trigger the alarm and have the people of Middleton High School evacuated, a suspicious but amused Bonnie asks him if he ever went invisible to sneak into the girl’s locker room which causes him to say “Uh… no. Never once… or twice…”, as he’s not proud to admit she’s right, then she asks him if he peeked at Kim or her and he doesn’t answer while blushing since he’s come close to peeking and once, by accident, saw just that thanks to a failed Global Justice gadget that turned her clothes invisible though promised not to say anything.
* Older Than They Look: Danny surprised to hear that Brick is in his 7th year at high school since that would make him adult age.
* Only Friend: Danny seems to be this to Bonnie as she only socializes with the other cheerleaders during practice and has an on-again, off-again relationship with her boyfriend Brick Flagg.
* Opposites Attract: Bonnie is an Alpha Bitch but actually prefers the Lovable Jock Brick Flagg over the Jerk Jock Dash Baxter.
* Ordered Apology: Danny forces Mego to apologize to an amnesiac Kim for the rude remark he made about her hiding during the fight with the supervillains.
* Outside-Context Problem: Shego is this to Danny as he’s never encountered a human who can hurt ghosts without magic or tech before since her Ectoranium Hand Blasts allow her to bypass his intangibility to deal him damage.
* Peerless Love Interest: Danny regards Kim as this since she’s a beautiful and popular crime-fighting cheerleader who excels at whatever she does. Kim assures him that he’s awesome even as Danny Fenton since he saved her from the Fright Knight and she’s not perfect herself because she’s hopeless at cooking.
* Pet the Dog:
* When Danny arrives late to Lancer’s class Kim covers for him by telling the teacher that it was only a result of her bumping into him earlier.
* After seeing Kim protect Danny from Dash’s bullying, Sam quickly apologizes to Kim for misjudging her by expecting her to be just like the stuck-up cheerleaders at Casper High and Kim doesn’t hold it against her given her own experience with the Cruel Cheerleader Bonnie Rockwaller.
* Kim assures Danny he doesn’t need powers to be great since he saved her life from the Fright Knight without his ghost abilities and shares with him her own flaws, such as her inability to cook.
* Mr. Lancer is just as disgusted as everyone else when Dash throws a cooler full of grape juice in an attempt to publicly humiliate Kim as petty revenge and Danny takes the hit for her in the gymnasium, so he lets her give Dash a blackeye as punishment and has Danny cleaned up.
* Kim helps Danny with his homework.
* Brick comments on Danny and Kim making a cute couple.
* Hego apologizes to Danny for attacking him under the mistaken assumption that he was a villain and offers to have Team Go help him restore Kim’s memory and retrieve the Terakon fossils from the bad guys.
* Yori apologizes to Danny for attacking him under the mistaken assumption that he’s an enemy.
* Perfection Is Impossible: When Danny shares his insecurities with Kim, she comforts him by admitting she’s got her own flaws such as her Lethal Chef tendencies.
* Poor Communication Kills: Kim, Danny, and Rufus call Ron out on not informing Yori in advance that Danny is a friend of theirs before she attacks him.
* Poor Man’s Substitute: Both Bonnie and Ron consider Dash this to Brick Flagg since they’re both Dumb Jocks but Dash has NONE of Brick’s redeeming qualities as he’s just an immature Jerk Jock who only cares about bullying people until he peaks and is way wimpier because he flees like a Dirty Coward whenever witnessing Kim’s fighting prowess (especially since she uses them on him every time he bothers her and Danny to get him to leave them alone).
* Positive Friend Influence: Bonnie shows a more caring side whenever she’s around Danny.
* Power Perversion Potential:
* Danny admires Bonnie’s body while overshadowing her in “Chapter 36: Bonnie”, much to Kim’s irritation.
* Ember McLain uses her hypnosis powers to force Danny to kiss her.
* Pragmatic Villainy: Vlad and Drakken agree to sell the weaker Terakons to Jack Hench but, unknown to Vlad, Drakken is putting control collars on them so he can take command of them and use them to destroy Plasmius as well as anyone who won’t join him and Shego.
* Properly Paranoid: While Sam is jealous of Kim, she tells Tucker that she has every right to be worried about Danny when they're on a date since Kim has a lot of enemies and no secret identity to protect herself or her loved ones. Her fears are proven valid when Kim's enemies ambush them on their date and take Danny as a prisoner.
* Reasonable Authority Figure: Mr. Lancer becomes this after reaching his limit with Dash’s bullying when he tries to throw a cooler’s contents at Kim in front of the school only to hit Danny instead just for refusing to go out with him and stops giving the A-Listers free passes so he allows her to give him a blackeye in retribution.
* Red Is Heroic: Kim is a redhead who fights evil supervillains.
* Redhead In Green: Kim is a redhead who usually wears a green crop top or green capri pants as part of her civilian outfit.
* Reformed, but Not Tamed: Bonnie has developed a soft spot for Danny but she can still be self-absorbed and uncaring.
* Relationship Revolving Door: Bonnie and Brick Flagg have an “on-again, off-again” relationship, which baffles Danny. They eventually break up for good because of Bonnie’s growing attraction to Danny and Brick’s newfound interest in Jazz.
* Rich Boredom: Kim tells Danny that her enemy Señor Senior, Senior became a supervillain for this reason, he is suitably not impressed.
* Right for the Wrong Reasons: While Bonnie is only saying it out of jealousy and doesn’t know about Ember’s love song, she is correct that Danny and Kim are not a couple because she’s only romantically attracted to him due to being under a spell.
* School Bullying Is Harmless: Completely averted as Kim rightfully points out it is not ok for Dash to physically harm students and its even less ok for the staff of Casper High to turn a blind eye to his bullying just because of his football skills so she blackmails the staff to give him detention as even they’re aware it will look really bad for the school if word gets out of their negligence regarding the students welfare. Mr. Lancer eventually admits Kim was right about it being a mistake to favor Dash because all he did was make things worse by enabling his bullying and that led to the Jerk Jock trying to publicly humiliate her by tossing a cooler’s contents at her only for Danny to take the hit so Mr. Lancer lets Kim give Dash a black eye as revenge.
* Sexual Predator Bully:
* Dash acts very entitled towards Kim because he feels a beautiful cheerleader like her should be with a popular quarterback like himself and is a total jerk to her boyfriend Danny, this only earns him a beating from her every time he bothers them.
* Bonnie is a G-rated version towards Danny since she's fond of giving him Forceful Kisses, stalks him, and blackmails him into dating her until Kim makes her stop. She drops this after softening up and genuinely befriends Danny but still retains her feelings towards him.
* Silly Spook: Danny considers the Box Ghost this as everyone just regards him as a loser who can’t scare anyone since he’s only good for haunting boxes and Team Phantom only captures him so he’ll stop annoying them.
* Single-Target Sexuality: Bonnie’s growing feelings for Danny have her fall in love with him and dump Brick then reject other guys who ask her out like Tucker and Dash (although at first she does consider dating the latter simply to make Danny jealous but decides not to after realizing he’s too much of a jerk even for her standards).
* Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Danny wonders if Bonnie likes the Adorkable Nice Guy Ron Stoppable because she called him “mildly cute” in her dream where he was her court jester. He might be right since Bonnie prefers Brick over Dash because while they're both Dumb Jocks, her ex-boyfriend is at least a Lovable Jock
* Smarter Than You Look:
* Shego might be an aloof Dark Action Girl sidekick but she is cunning enough to have Drakken upgrade the Bebes toughness so they can fight Danny and gives her boss the idea of using reverse-psychology to manipulate them into doing his bidding.
* Danny suspects Kim and Ron aren’t just friends.
* Smurfette Principle: Shego is Drakken’s only female underling.
* Soldier vs. Warrior: Kim is the Soldier as she is a regular girl who uses her gadgets, wits, experience, and martial arts expertise to beat criminals while Danny is the Warrior since he has no formal training and relies on his ghost powers to fight villains.
* Spoiled Brat: Kim considers Paulina just as insufferably self-absorbed, snobby, unpleasant, and immature as Bonnie Rockwaller.
* Stalking Is Funny if It Is Female After Male: Danny and Kim mainly consider Bonnie a nuisance when she becomes one to the former.
* Stepford Snarker: Danny theorizes that Bonnie’s mean attitude is a defense-mechanism to hide how stressful and troubled her home life is, having two older sisters as mean as Connie and Lonnie certainly can give you some serious self-esteem issues.
* Stupid Good: Everyone makes it clear to Sam that freeing the Terakon from the villains control out of misplaced compassion was a HUGE mistake because it became a bigger threat than Vlad and Drakken as now they can’t rein it in.
* Tank-Top Tomboy: Kim is an Action Girl who primarily wears a green tank crop top.
* Taught by Experience:
* Unlike in his first battle with Ember, Danny wears the Fenton Phones to protect himself from the ghostly pop divas love song. Kim however…is not so fortunate.
* Ron warns Danny that it is NOT a good idea to mess with Kim’s emotions while she’s under the effects of Ember’s love song since he went through the same thing when she was subjected to the Moodulator that made her obsessed with him.
* Tender Tomboyishness, Foul Femininity: While both Kim and Bonnie are cheerleaders, they qualify. Nice Girl Kim is a Teen Super Spy who is good at martial arts and doesn't often wear skirts (outside of cheerleading and special occasions). Bonnie is an Alpha Bitch who wears much more feminine clothes (such as skirts and dresses) and has no interest in sports other than cheerleading and dancing.
* Too Much Alike: Both Bonnie and Paulina are vain Alpha Bitches who bully the heroes at their schools but crush on Danny’s superhero alter ego, as soon as they meet they get into an argument over who is prettier.
* Token Competent Minion: Shego is Drakken’s smartest and most capable minion since she can hold her own against Kim and Danny.
* Token Evil Teammate: Downplayed but Bonnie is the only genuinely nasty member of the Middleton High School cheerleading squad, even if she is trying to be better thanks to Danny’s influence. Danny considers her the one downside of Middleton High School.
* Touch the Intangible: Shego’s Ectoranium Hand Blast superpower allows her to hurt ghosts even when they’re intangible. This makes her the only enemy of Kim who poses a serious threat to Danny.
* Underestimating Badassery: Mego doesn’t take Danny seriously because he didn’t beat Team Go but the ghost boy makes it clear to Mego he was seriously holding back in their fight even with Team Go outnumbering 4 to 1 and makes Mego lose his clothes with intangibility for being a jerk.
* Villain Has a Point:
* Drakken notes that Danny Phantom makes a much better partner for Kim than Ron because their team dynamic is far superior and Danny is a way more capable fighter.
* The villains refuse to call themselves “The Predators” as Skulker suggests because of how creepy it sounds especially since they’re adults going up against teenagers, he concedes their point.
* Kim’s enemies can see a vague resemblance between Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom.
* Villain Respect: Drakken admits that Danny Phantom and Kim Possible are a formidable team and considers the former a much more capable partner for the Teen Superspy than Ron Stoppable.
* What Does She See in Him: Gender-Inverted as Danny can't understand why the Nice Guy Brick Flagg dates the Alpha Bitch Bonnie Rockwaller and feels sorry for him despite him being jock.
* Women Prefer Strong Men:
* Kim vastly prefers the heroic Nice Guy Danny Fenton (who is brave enough to save her from the Fright Knight even without powers) over the Dirty Coward Jerk Jock Dash Baxter (who flees like a total wimp from her after witnessing her Action Girl nature).
* Part of the reason why Bonnie likes Danny is because unlike Brick and her other past boyfriends, he actually has the nerve to stand up to and talk back to her.
* Would Hit a Girl: Dash tries to throw a cooler’s contents at Kim as revenge for rejecting him only for Danny to take the hit instead.
* Wouldn’t Hit a Girl:
* Mr. Lancer is appalled that Dash would try to throw a cooler’s contents at Kim as payback for rejecting him only for Danny to take the hit instead so he drops his favoritism towards the A-Listers and lets her give Dash a blackeye to even the score.
* Sir Milton Hamalot refuses to fight Dani for being “a bawbling wench”.

Danny Phantom Vs American Dragon Jake Long: The Novelization:
* Abhorrent Admirer: Danny makes it crystal clear he'll never have anything to do with Paulina anymore after deciding her looks aren't worth putting up with her awful Alpha Bitch attitude.
* Actually Pretty Funny: Danny, Tucker, and even Jazz laugh when Jake tells them that his own bully Brad Morton got held back twice in Middle School since as Danny points out he comes off as a dumber version of Dash who was only held back once.
* Adaptational Backstory Change: Prince Aragon explains to Jake and Danny that his amulet was forged in the human world by using the blood of a powerful dragon.
* Adaptational Jerkass:
* The Dark Dragon was content with merely ruling over humans and magical creatures in canon but here he’s become so bitter and vengeful from his second imprisonment that he’s fine with obliterating both groups out of spite.
* Jake could be very competitive and egotistical in canon but here he’s much more hostile and arrogant whenever he’s around Danny, justified as they’re both under a magic spell that makes them loathe each other to downright murderous levels.
* Affectionate Nickname: Lao Shi is called “G” or “Gramps” by Jake, Fu Dog, Trixie, and Spud.
* Always Second Best: It annoys Jake that Danny is a better and more powerful fighter than him as well as a famous hero, not helped by the spell that’s fueling his rivalry with the ghost boy.
* Always Someone Better:
* Danny proves to be Jake’s superior in battle due to outclassing him in every physical category and possessing more combat experience as well as having abilities the American Dragon can’t counter due to his more diverse power set. Plus, he's more famous as a hero since he's saved both the world and Ghost Zone.
* Lao Shi proves to be a far more skilled fighter than Vlad Plasmius thanks to his decades of training and experience as the Chinese Dragon to the point the evil halfa requires the Fright Knight’s help to beat the elderly dragon in a fight.
* It's been lampshaded by Jake and Danny that the latter is a MUCH more powerful ghost than Shackles Jack gang especially since he can actually beat Jake single-handedly in battle.
* Anime Hair: Danny has snow white hair as a ghost and Jake always has spiky green hair as a result of using too much hair gel, something they insult each other for.
* Asshole Victim:
* Jake secretly uses his dragon tail to humiliate Dash by tripping him every time he tries to hit him. Sam is only upset about it because she feels Jake shouldn’t use his powers to deal with bullies, not that he cares in the slightest because the Jerk Jock brought it on himself for being an annoying bully who harasses people for fun that was trying to beat him up for rightfully calling him out on his repugnant excuse for a personality.
* Danny secretly uses intangibility to make Brad’s pants fall down as payback for harassing him and Team Dragon, which results in everyone at the skatepark laughing at Brad’s Goofy Print Underwear.
* Attack the Tail: Danny to Jake shortly after transforming in their first fight, to painful effect.
* Attempted Homewrecker: Vlad’s alliance with the Dark Dragon is partly motivated by his obsession with stealing Maddie from Jack, much to Lao Shi’s disgust.
* Badass Grandpa: Lao Shi might be elderly but he’s still a seasoned dragon warrior who can beat Vlad Plasmius in a one-on-one fight.
* Beware the Nice Ones: Danny is a Nice Guy but when he stops holding back he utterly vaporizes Jake Long in their first battle.
* Big Fish in a Bigger Ocean: Jake Long is a skilled fighter and the American Dragon but his abilities are hardly special compared to other dragons and he isn’t used to battling enemies of the same caliber as Danny’s (minus the Dark Dragon) and has trouble dealing with the ghost boy’s foes such as Skulker, Vlad, Fright Knight, and Prince Aragon as well as Danny Phantom himself who has him physically outclassed in every way plus he possesses a more diverse power set that is hard to counter and slightly greater combat experience.
* Blatant Lies: Jake stubbornly claims that Danny only won their first fight because he “got lucky”.
* Blue Is Heroic: Lao Shi is a hero who wears a blue robe and turns into a blue dragon.
* Blue Means Cold: Unlike his green ecto-beams, Danny’s cryokinesis has a blue color and surrounds him in a blue aura.
* Bullying a Dragon:
* Ironically, Jake, an actual dragon, is the bully in this case, attacking Danny after mistaking him for a thief, only to find out at the cost of his life that the ghost boy was a lot more powerful than him when his body is completely obliterated by Danny’s charged ectoplasmic beam in their first match.
* Vlad thinks he can best Lao Shi in a fight only to be overwhelmed by the retired Chinese dragon’s superior skill and experience to the point he needs the Fright Knight’s help to win.
* But Not Too Foreign: Jake and Haley’s parents are a Chinese mother, White American father.
* Came Back Strong: The Huntsman obtained ghost powers when he became a specter upon his death, which he won’t use on account of his deep loathing towards magical creatures.
* Can’t Take Criticism: Both Dash and Brad act like total Jerkasses whenever Danny and Jake insult them for their arrogance, stupidity, bullying, boorishness, and immaturity.
* Chick Magnet: Danny gets the attention of Sam, Paulina, Haley, and a Harpy at Magus Bazaar.
* Combo Platter Powers: Jake isn't at Danny's level, but being a dragon grants him a number of powers and abilities, including fire breath, flight, super strength and durability, etc.
* Cool Versus Awesome: Artificial Hybrid Spider-Man Send-Up supernatural superhero Danny Phantom takes on Half-Human Hybrid of Dragon Ancestry Jake Long as the story title says.
* Crush Blush: Haley gets like this whenever she’s around Danny.
* Curb Stomp Cushion: Despite being largely outclassed by Danny's greater physical might and ghostly powers in their first battle, Jake does give his opponent some trouble thanks to his martial arts skills and ability to harm ghosts. Jake even manages to draw (ectoplasmic) blood from Danny and overpower his duplicates with his own before he is defeated.
* Dark Is Evil:
* Vlad wears a black suit as a human, which symbolizes his sinister nature.
* The Fright Knight wears black armor and is a villain.
* The Dark Dragon has a black heart to match his dark appearance.
* Dark Is Not Evil: Danny’s "phantom" uniform is mostly black with grey lining but he is firmly on the side of good.
* Deadpan Snarker: This is Kara’s general personality, being able to only predict good things can suck the joy out of you.
* Death Is Cheap: Jake is killed by Danny in their first clash until the ghost boy accidentally revives him with the item Clockwork gave him.
* Dirty Coward:
* Vlad has no problem fighting Lao Shi when he’s confident he’ll win but has the Fright Knight knock out the elderly dragon with a cheap shot when he’s about to win.
* Shackles Jack tries to flee when his gang losses to Jake and Danny only for the latter to trap him in the Fenton Thermos.
* Dragon Slayer: Danny becomes this after he vaporizes Jake in their fight battle.
* The Dreaded: The Dark Dragon is viewed as the greatest threat to the magical world and the heroes are desperate to stop the villains from releasing him from his eternal prison.
* Empowered Badass Normal: As a human the Hunstman was a Badass Normal who could fight evenly with skilled dragons like Lao Shi and Jake then he gained ghost powers upon his death, not that he’ll use them on account of his Fantastic Racism towards magical creatures like ghosts.
* Entitled Bastard:
* All Vlad cares about is getting what he thinks he deserves, including a girl who is not only already Happily Married but doesn’t want anything to do with him anyway.
* The Dark Dragon believes he is the one destined to rule the magical world.
* Everyone Has Standards: Danny doesn't like Jake but still won't let Skulker hunt him or destroy his photo of Rose.
* Evil Is Petty: Skulker plans on ripping Jake's photo of Rose until Danny takes it from him.
* Excellent Judge of Character: Even Sam’s snooty Social Climber parents refuse to associate with an unpleasant snobby jerk like Eli Pandarus, evil wizard or not.
* Fights Like a Normal: Deconstructed with the Hunstman who refuses to use his newfound ghost powers due to his hatred of magical creatures even when they would be helpful in escaping the ice Danny trapped him in.
* Fighting from the Inside: Jake is able to fight off Danny’s attempt at overshadowing him in their rematch through sheer force of will since he has experience being overshadowed by Danny ever since their first battle.
* Flying Brick: Both Danny and Jake have the standard ghost/dragon ability to fly, Super-Strength, and Super-Toughness but Jake is established to be slower, weaker, and frailer than Danny.
* Flying Firepower:
* Danny can fly faster than a space shuttle, survive being blasted by dragon fire that can disperse a large cloud formation, and can shoot ectoplasmic lasers.
* Jake is one too but to a lesser extent than Danny as he can fly 179 mph at best, tank way more punishment than a human (but not a half-ghost like Danny), and has a fire Breath Weapon (which is weaker than Danny’s ecto blasts).
* Force and Finesse: Danny is the “force” and Jake is the “finesse”. The former has no formal training and relies on raw power as well as his plethora of abilities while the latter has been taught martial arts by his grandfather Lao Shi and uses his dragon abilities with precision.
* Foreshadowing: Jake Long's Eye of the Dragon being unable to See the Invisible is shown early in the first fight when he fails to see an invisible Danny Phantom. Later on, this plays into Jake's loss when he assumes that his combined fire attack destroyed Danny and his clones when one of them managed to escape, go invisible, then reappear and possess him from behind.
* Freak Lab Accident: Danny's DNA was altered with ecto energy after messing around with his parents' ghost portal, giving him his powers and turning him into a half-human, half-ghost hybrid, or a "halfa". This makes Fu Dog shudder over the dangers of science.
* Genki Girl: Sara is always cheerful because since she can only see bad things, Sara has learned to overcome the negative aspects of life and to seize every good moment she can get. The smallest amount of good news makes her extremely happy.
* Ghostly Chill: One of Danny's ghost powers is the ability to manipulate ice and cold.
* Good Is Not Nice:
* Lao Shi is a huge grump but genuinely loves his family and has dedicated his entire life to protecting the magical world.
* Fu Dog is something of a sleazy womanizer and con artist but is devoted to the Long family and won’t hesitate to fight the forces of evil to save the world.
* Good vs. Good: Danny and Jake fight each other twice due to being under a spell that makes them want to kill each other, Jake actually loses his life in their first battle until he’s brought back courtesy of an item given to Danny by Clockwork.
* Graceful Loser: Haley eventually makes peace with the fact she can’t have Danny especially since he already has eyes for Kim Possible.
* Greed Makes You Dumb: The heroes call Vlad out on being so obsessed with getting what he wants (such as Maddie and riches) that he’d teamed up with someone as evil and untrustworthy as the Dark Dragon who is threat to humans and magical creatures alike.
* Hatred Makes You Dumb: Danny makes it clear to the Dark Dragon that they’ll be no magical world for him to rule over if he goes through with his genocidal plans against humanity.
* Hates My Secret Identity: The A-Listers bully Team Phantom but are huge fans of Danny Phantom with Paulina having an unrequited crush on him, not that he fancies her anymore after reaching his limit with her repugnant excuse for a personality.
* Hero Rematch: Danny and Jake end up fighting each other again while in the middle of stopping the bad guys from freeing the Dark Dragon since the spell they’re under is strengthened enough to make them want to kill each other. Fortunately, they’re able to snap out of it before things escalate too far by remembering their friendship.
* Hot-Blooded: Jake can be pretty aggressive and impulsive, the spell he’s under only exacerbates these traits whenever he’s around Danny because it makes him want to fight the ghost boy.
* Hunter of His Own Kind:
* Danny is a half-ghost who fights other ghosts to protect Amity Park. Danny is a brutal hunter, who usually throws the first punch, but he is merciful towards ghosts that aren’t threatening his town and the world.
* Skulker is a villainous example since he’s a ghost who hunts other ghosts purely for sport and profit. He has his eye on hanging Danny’s pelt from his wall.
* Hypocrisy Callout: Jake mocks Danny’s ghost form for having “grandpa hair” but he retorts that Jake’s puke green hair isn’t any better especially because it looks like he dunked his whole head in hair gel.
* If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Him: Subverted as Sam’s attempt to do this to Jake regarding Danny falls completely flat because he points out a normal human like her isn’t a big threat to a superpowered dragon like himself.
* Ignored Expert: Vlad disregards Lao Shi’s warnings against freeing the Dark Dragon and pays for it when Sphinx Hair proves completely ineffective against him.
* Irony: The Hunstman dedicated his life to hunting magical creatures only to become one himself when he died and turned into a ghost.
* Jailbait Wait: Inverted with Haley who is in love with the teenage Danny but he is completely oblivious to her feelings and wouldn’t be interested in a child like her anyway.
* Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Kara is constantly moody, apathetic, and sarcastic but dearly loves her twin sister Sara and always helps the heroes out with her predictions.
* Jerkass Has a Point:
* Lao Shi is right that it’s unacceptable for Jake to lose to Danny in their first battle…even if he’s only saying it because he’s mad his grandson lost to somebody “so scrawny” rather than the fact he was killed.
* Lao Shi’s warning to Vlad that he’s making a huge mistake working with the Dark Dragon is proven 100% true when the evil dragon refuses to uphold his end of their bargain upon being freed and all of the wicked halfa’s countermeasures have proven to be totally ineffective against him.
* Jake thinks Sam and Danny aren’t just friends, her incredibly protective attitude towards him certainly doesn’t help.
* Considering Jake attacked Danny upon meeting him for the first time and is under a spell that makes him compelled to fight the ghost boy to a potential fight to the death, Sam’s distrust of the American Dragon is hardly unjustified.
* Jake points out to Huntsboys 88 and 89 that they could’ve just attacked the heroes while they were on the same train since they were already off guard there.
* Danny points out to Jake that he has no room to mock his ghost form for having “grandpa hair” because Jake’s puke green hair isn’t any better especially since it looks like he dunked his whole head in hair gel.
* Considering Danny's been brainwashed by Freakshow's staff, almost got cut by the Fright Knight's Soul Shredder, has been a victim of Desiree's wishes , and is under a spell that makes him aggressive enough to want to kill Jake; his hatred of magic is hardly unjustified.
* Kid Hero: Haley is only 9 years old but already has her dragon powers and is willing to use them to help her brother Jake, Team Dragon, and Team Phantom save the magical world.
* Killer Rabbit: Lao Shi and Fu Dog explain to Sam that pixies might be cute but are NOT harmless and know how to hold a grudge as they’re the reason a cyclops only has one eye so she’s better off apologizing to the ones she antagonized before it’s too late.
* Knight of Cerebus: The stakes become MUCH higher when the Dark Dragon is freed.
* Know When To Fold 'Em: Haley accepts in the end that she's too young for Danny and that he only likes Kim Possible.
* Lack of Empathy: The Dark Dragon doesn’t care if magical creatures get hurt in the process of his mission to eliminate humanity.
* Large and in Charge: The Dark Dragon is huge and leads an evil army of shadow warriors.
* Light ‘em Up: Danny and most ghosts can release ecto-energy in the form of an energy-based attack called ghost rays.
* Light Is Not Good: Vlad’s “Plasmius” ghost form wears a white outfit and represents his true nasty side.
* Lightning Bruiser:
* Danny is stronger, tougher, and faster than Jake since he can outfly a space shuttle and tank attacks that would destroy Jake.
* Jake is also this but to a lesser extent than Danny as his dragon abilities grant him strength and durability superior to humans as well as dragon wings that let him fly around 179 mph.
* Little Miss Badass: Haley is just a child, but is capable of fighting magical creatures like her older brother Jake thanks to her dragon powers.
* Locked Out of the Loop: Haley, Spud, and Trixie don’t find out that Jake came close to dying during his first fight with Danny until Vlad tells them.
* Logical Weakness: Prince Aragon is a very powerful ghost in his dragon form, but his transformation is dependent on the amulet. When Danny removes it, he's left essentially powerless.
* Love at First Sight: Haley becomes smitten with Danny upon meeting him.
* Loved by All: The ghosts of the Far Frozen practically worship Danny for saving the Ghost Zone from the Ghost King Pariah Dark, they even have a statue of him. To say Jake is jealous of this is an understatement.
* Loves My Alter Ego: The A-Listers are total jerks to Team Phantom but are huge fans of Danny’s superhero persona with Paulina having a huge crush on Danny Phantom, much to his utter disinterest after realizing she's too much of a shallow mean girl to be worth his time.
* The Man Behind the Man: Vlad Plasmius, Eli Pandarus, and the Fright Knight are working together to release the Dark Dragon per his orders.
* Manchild:
* Jake insults Dash Baxter by highlighting that he has the immaturity of a toddler despite being around his age for thinking that it’s funny to throw food at Danny.
* Danny finds Brad Morton just as insufferably childish as Dash Baxter but even more stupid because he only got held back once in school while Brad was held back twice in elementary school for failing 3rd grade.
* Manipulative Bastard: The Dark Dragon convinces Vlad, the Fright Knight, and Eli Pandarus to free him by promising them riches but reneges on his promise due to a technicality upon being released.
* Mind-Control Eyes: Jake’s dragon form's reptilian yellow eyes turn into that of Danny's green iris with white sclerae when Danny overshadows him.
* Misanthrope Supreme: The Dark Dragon has an intense hatred for humans and becomes spiteful enough to destroy the magical world in the process of eradicating mankind.
* Mistaken Assumption: At first, Prince Aragon thinks Jake is just someone wearing a mystical pendant like he is but then realizes that’s not the case since he figures out he’s an actual dragon after seeing he’s not wearing an amulet.
* Morphic Resonance: Prince Aragon has a black/purple color scheme that carries over into his dragon form when he transforms.
* Mugging the Monster: Jake picks a fight with Danny at the beginning of the story when he mistakes him for the one who stole the skull and it costs him his life.
* Muscles Are Meaningless: Danny might look lanky but he can overpower ghosts and dragons bigger than him like Skulker and Jake Long.
* My God, What Have I Done?: Danny has a panic attack after realizing he killed Jake in their first battle since it’s not something he would ever think about doing even to an opponent but he calms down when Jake is revived by the DB crystal Clockwork gave him.
* My Species Doth Protest Too Much: As a whole, dragons are Always Lawful Good and seek to protect the magical world. The Dark Dragon, however, is a power-hungry sociopath who only cares about ruling the magical world and getting rid of humanity completely out of Fantastic Racism.
* Mystical White Hair: When Danny goes ghost.
* Naïve Newcomer: Danny finds himself a little overwhelmed when introduced to magical creatures at the Magus Bazaar since he’s only dealt with ghosts, ghost hunters, and an insane carnie. Plus, he doesn’t exactly have the best opinion of magic after dealing with mystical foes like Desiree and Freakshow with his mind-controlling scepter.
* Nausea Fuel: Danny is very grossed out when Spud asks him if he’s going to use the Fenton Thermos to make soup from Shackles Jack’s gang and eat them.
* Nice Girl: Sara and Veronica are nothing but courtesy and helpful to the heroes.
* Nice Guy: Tucker forms a fast friendship with Jake and refrains Sam from antagonizing him too much.
* Never My Fault: Jake refuses to accept that it’s his fault he lost his first fight with Danny and stubbornly insists that he “just got lucky”.
* No Body Left Behind: How Jake dies in the first fight against Danny as his physical self is disintegrated by his opponent's ghostly Kamehame Hadoken.
* No-Nonsense Nemesis:
* Danny flat-out incinerates Jake in their first fight while they’re under the spell.
* This time the Dark Dragon doesn’t try to sway Jake to his side and tries to destroy him.
* Non-Action Guy: Huntsboys 88 and 89 aren’t really fighters as Jake explains to Danny that they cheated their way into Huntsclan Academy and all the tech they have leftover from the Huntsclan is only barely useful in their hands.
* Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Shackles Jack and his gang of ghosts are dangerous to average humans and inexperienced young dragons like Haley Long but against seasoned fighters like Danny and Jake they’re no more of an inconvenience than the Box Ghost.
* Not-So-Harmless Villain: While completely pathetic, Huntsboys 88 and 89 do cause the heroes some trouble by freeing Shackles Jack gang from the Mugwomp Cup.
* Not What It Looks Like: Jake thinks Danny is the one who stole the skull when he sees the Fenton boy return it to the museum.
* Odd Friendship: Jake and Tucker quickly bond over their mutual love of Jive Turkey lingo.
* Old Master: Lao Shi is an old and wise dragon master who mentors his grandson Jake in mastering his dragon abilities and carrying out his responsibilities as the American Dragon.
* Older Hero vs. Younger Villain:
* Inverted with the villainous Yandere Vlad Plasmius who is in his 40's while the titular heroes Danny Phantom and Jake Long are Kid Heroes in high school.
* Played straight with Vlad and Lao Shi as the former Chinese Dragon is at least 30 years older which works to his advantage as his superior training and experience help him trounce the evil half-ghost in a fight until the Fright Knight intervenes.
* Older Than They Look: The Dragon boosts of being the first of his kind.
* One-Man Army: Even Danny and Jake working together isn’t enough to beat the Dark Dragon.
* Ordered Apology: Lao Shi and Fu Dog make it very clear to Sam it’s in her best interest to apologize to the pixies she provoked since they can be VERY nasty to anyone who upsets them as cyclopses have learned the hard way.
* Our Dragons Are Different: Thanks to a magical pendant, Prince Aragon can turn into a dragon at the drop of a hat. He claims it was made with a powerful dragon’s blood during his time in the human world.
* Outside-Context Problem: This story features a rare example where the protagonist qualifies for this since Jake Long has never fought a ghost as powerful as Danny before as Shackles Jack’s gang doesn’t hold a candle to him and the American Dragon ends up overwhelmed by the ghost boy’s physically superior capabilities and ghostly abilities to the point it costs him his life in their first fight.
* Overshadowed by Awesome: Jake is a genuinely powerful and skilled dragon fighter whose been trained in martial arts by his grandfather the former Chinese dragon Lao Shi but, aside from his Super-Senses and Playing with Fire Breath Weapon, he doesn’t offer anything unique since Danny possesses the same abilities as him as well as outclasses him in terms of raw power, strength, speed, durability, versatility, and combat experience.
* Partial Transformation:
* While Jake prefers to take his full dragon form for combat, he can technically use any of his powers as long as he shifts the required body parts.
* Danny can turn any part of his body into his ghost-self and vice-versa.
* Person of Mass Destruction: Danny can unleash ecto blasts with enough force to blow apart buildings and cause damage equal to about 556 tons of TNT. This is far more power than anything that Jake could output or survive from, giving the phantom the edge in destructive capability.
* Personality Powers: Jake and Danny’s attitudes match their respective Fire/Ice Duo motif with Jake being a Hot-Blooded Jerk with a Heart of Gold and Danny being a laid-back Nice Guy.
* Pet the Dog:
* Jake tells Danny his parents are nice people.
* Danny returns Jake's photo of Rose after retrieving it from Skulker before he rips it.
* Jake and Danny help each other fend off their respective bullies Brad Morton and Dash Baxter.
* Frostbite and his tribe let Jake stay in their village and give him fish (as well as cake for Danny) despite their low opinion of dragons since Danny vouches for him.
* At Magus Bazaar, Jake drives away an annoying harpy that was bothering Danny with her obnoxious flirting.
* Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Haley Long is a powerful young dragon despite only being a small child and remaining the same height in her dragon form.
* Playing with Fire: While Jake prefers to launch his fire as a Breath Weapon, he can also launch fire from his hands, and his backside.
* Properly Paranoid:
* Downplayed in both cases:
* Jake immediately turns into his dragon form and attacks Danny because he suspects he’s not as harmless as he looks, although this is what gets him killed when the ghost boy overwhelms him in their first battle.
* Vlad at least had Sphinx Hair if the Dark Dragon proved untrustworthy even if it didn’t work on him.
* Lao Shi makes it clear to Vlad that the Dark Dragon can’t be trusted or beaten by him and is proven correct when the Dark Dragon turns on the villains and even Sphinx Hair and Soul Shredder prove useless against him.
* The Fright Knight realizes the spell is wearing off when Danny stops fighting Jake during their second battle.
* Puppy Love: Haley isn’t subtle about her infatuation for Danny, not that he notices.
* Really 700 Years Old: Prince Aragon has the appearance of an early adult man, but he's at least 16 centuries old and used to live in the human world.
* Reasonable Authority Figure: While Frostbite and his tribe in the Far Frozen don’t like dragons, they still welcome Jake into their village and give him fish (mainly cause Danny vouched for him).
* Red Is Heroic: Jake has a red hoodie in human form, and red scales in dragon form.
* Required Secondary Powers: Danny and Jake are immune to cold temperatures because the former has cryokinesis and the latter can warm himself up with his dragon fire powers.
* Retired Badass: Lao Shi isn’t the Chinese dragon anymore but he still trains his grandchildren in carrying out their dragon duties and can defeat Vlad Plasmius in single combat.
* Revenge Before Reason: Danny calls the Dark Dragon out on being so consumed by his hatred for humanity and the heroes that he’d put the entire magical world at risk just to get rid of them.
* Right for the Wrong Reasons: Lao Shi is justified in being outraged that Jake lost his first fight to Danny…even if it’s because he’s more upset his grandson lost to somebody “so scrawny” than the fact Jake died.
* Sealed Evil in a Can: After Huntsboys 88 and 89 break the Mugwomp Cup to free Shackles Jacks and his gang, Danny uses the Fenton Thermos to trap them.
* Self-Duplication:
* Dragons can create duplicates of themselves out of their chi which have all their powers and strengths.
* Duplication is an advanced technique for ghosts as they can use their ecto-energy to make exact copies of themselves.
* Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Danny is the laidback and friendly Sensitive Guy to Jake’s brash and hotheaded Manly Man.
* Shut Up, Kirk!: The Dark Dragon refuses to listen to Danny’s argument that he’s nothing but a danger to the magical world because he’s fine with endangering magical creatures just to get rid of humanity since he’s not interested in the opinion of a “half-ghost abomination” like him.
* Single-Target Sexuality: Danny only has eyes for his Celeb Crush Kim Possible and doesn’t even notice Haley’s feelings for him.
* Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Danny saving Haley from Shackles Jack’s gang only intensifies her crush on him.
* Smarter Than You Look: Huntsboys 88 and 89 were at least smart enough to cheat their way into the Hunstclan Academy and were able to find the Mugwomp Cup containing Shackles Jack’s gang as well as immediately recognized Danny Phantom upon meeting him for the first time.
* Smug Super: Vlad thinks his ghost powers make him more than a match for Lao Shi, Jake, and Danny. He does put up a good fight but can’t beat them without help.
* Soldier vs. Warrior: Danny is the Soldier due to being a Combat Pragmatist who compensates for his lack of formal training with his superior experience and greater variety of powers while Jake is the Warrior who has been trained extensively in martial arts by his grandfather Lao Shi but doesn’t take a fight seriously unless his enemy can stand up to him and has no means to counter some of Danny’s abilities due to his more limited skillset.
* Strong and Skilled:
* Danny is this compared to humans and fighters less skilled than Jake or Lao Shi given his lack of formal training but he has far greater raw power than dragons and is a much more experienced combatant than ghosts like Vlad Plasmius or Shackles Jack gang.
* Jake is this compared to humans and ghosts weaker than Danny such as Shackles Jack gang as he is a powerful dragon with extensive training in martial arts courtesy of being mentored by his grandfather the former Chinese Dragon Lao Shi.
* Supernatural Gold Eyes: Jake’s "Eye of the Dragon" manifests as these.
* Super-Scream: Danny’s most powerful move is the Ghostly Wail, where Danny unleashes an omnidirectional scream of ecto energy that can blast away just about anything. He uses a low-level version of the Ghostly Wail against Jake in their first fight because while it’s a lot less powerful than a full blast, it won’t make him pass out from excessive draining of his ghostly energy reserves.
* Sure, Let’s Go with That: Fu Dog doesn’t correct Sam that it was him who caused the Titanic to sink instead of a giant iceberg.
* Talking Animal: Fu Dog has fully human speech capabilities, much to Team Phantom’s surprise.
* Taught by Experience: The Dark Dragon accepts that Jake won’t join him and tries to kill him instead.
* Technically Naked Shapeshifter: Lampshaded as while they're both in the Far Frozen section of the Ghost Zone, Danny questions how Jake isn't cold since he doesn't wear any clothes in his dragon form.
* Token Evil Teammate: The Dark Dragon is the first known dragon to turn evil. It’s why his kind banished him.
* Token Good Teammate: Rose was the only decent member of the Huntsclan and its what led to her destroying them when she betrayed the group to stop their genocidal plans against magical creature.
* Unrequited Love Lasts Forever: Haley still loves Danny even after accepting in the end that she has no chance with him because of her age and his obvious infatuation with Kim Possible.
* Villain Has a Point: Eli Pandarus admits in the end that it was a mistake to ever team up with Vlad Plasmius and the Fright Knight since their mission to free the Dark Dragon gained them nothing and just put all their lives in danger by releasing the imprisoned evil dragon so he refuses to associate with them anymore in the future.
* Villains Want Mercy: After Aragon loses his amulet he tries pleading to Jake and Danny to leave him but they're having none of that and knock him out.
* Villainous Valor: The Fright Knight is willing to fight the Dark Dragon head on, too bad for him Soul Shredder has no effect on the evil dragon.
* Wasted Beauty:
* Neither Jake nor Danny want anything to do with the Alpha Bitch Paulina Sanchez despite acknowledging she’s hot.
* Jake does think Sam is attractive but is put off by her abrasive and judgmental attitude.
* Danny doesn’t want anything to do with the harpy that hits on him at the Magus Bazaar because he finds her just as unpleasant as Paulina.
* Well-Trained, but Inexperienced:
* While Jake has been trained in martial arts by his grandfather Lao Shi and has defeated supernatural creatures like ghosts such as Shackles Jack gang before, he’s never fought a ghost as powerful as Danny he’s caught off-guard by Phantom’s plethora of abilities and slightly superior combat experience which results in him being overshadowed then incinerated by Danny’s fully charged ghost ray. It becomes significantly downplayed in their rematch since Jake is wise to Danny’s tricks and is able to shrug off his attempts at overshadowing through sheer Heroic Willpower.
* While Vlad has spent 20 years practicing his ghost powers, Lao Shi points out he has a few more decades of training and combat experience as the Chinese Dragon over the evil halfa so he is able to get the upper hand in their fight until the Fright Knight knocks him out with a surprise attack.
* Willfully Weak: Danny severely reduces the power of his Ghostly Wail in his first fight with Jake to avoid exhausting himself from using too much energy, it’s still strong enough to send the American Dragon flying into a billboard and he proves he doesn’t need to go all out to win after completely vaporizing Jake with a single charged ecto-blast.
* Would Hurt a Child: Shackles Jack gang tries to attack Haley while they’re fighting Jake and Danny.
