Line 49:
** {{spoiler|Dennie and Winona don't start dating until after high school although it's implied that he has a crush on her.}}
* [[Hot Mom]]: Mrs. Ray is described as looking more like the oldest daughter than the mother.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Tib and Ralph Maddox.
* [[I Dont Want To Spoil Our Friendship]]: Betsy to {{spoiler|Tony in ''Betsy and Joe'', and to Marco in ''Betsy and the Great World''.}}
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Tony {{spoiler|who runs away to be on the stage when he realizes that Betsy truly loves Joe}}.
Line 58:
* [[Mary Sue]]: In-universe example. In her younger years, Betsy has a bad habit of writing these.
* [[Most Writers Are Writers]]: Maud's Expy, Betsy, is a writer, and her husband Delos's Expy, Joe, is also a dedicated writer.
* [[Never a Self
* [[New Transfer Student]]: Tony's introduction to the books, and Joe to a certain extent (all of the other characters had gone to school together for years, while Joe had to go into town to go to high school).
* [[One of the Boys]]: Sophomore Betsy, to her chagrin.
Line 67:
* [[Student Council President]]: {{spoiler|Joe in his senior year is given this "highest honor his class had to bestow".}}
* [[Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy]]: Betsy to Phil in ''Betsy in Spite of Herself''. Subverted in that Phil is just a bit of a stiff and a bore, not an outright jerk, and Betsy was hardly a nerdy social pariah. But the message "Don't change yourself for a guy, because the right guy will like you just the way you are" hold true.
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Tony, to a certain extent, especially in ''Heaven to Betsy''.
* [[Tastes Like Friendship]]: The picnic with Naifi.
* [[That Russian Squat Dance]]: A rare female example: the "Russian step" is the grand finale of Tib's Baby Dance.
