Added DiffLines:

* BeingEvilSucks: Louise is not as immune to empathy and caring for others as she likes to pretend to be, and trying to do something mean or selfish can often backfire when she just ends up feeling bad for her targets. For example, after a fight with Ms. [=LeBonz=], she writes a scathing review of her in the teacher evaluations, but when reading it to Tina, she immediately realizes she has gone too far and regrets it, attempting to change her evaluation.

** In "Torpedo", the kids mistakenly assume their parents are getting divorced (due to Tina ''wildly'' misinterpreting something Bob said) and choose who they would go with in such an event. Louise almost immediately picks Bob[[note]]she actually picks after Gene does, but she chooses Bob without hesitation and displays no grievances over Gene picking Linda, and it's clear that had she gone first she'd have picked Bob anyways[[/note]].

** In "Boys 4 Now", she has the throwaway line "No wonder everyone hates women." If not an example of her being a FemaleMisogynist, this could imply that she herself dislikes being a girl.

Added DiffLines:

* LaceratingLoveLanguage: It's a bit of a RunningGag of Louise to slap people she has a crush on. In "[[Recap/BobsBurgersS3E21Boyz4Now Boyz 4 Now]]", she gets a CelebrityCrush on Boo Boo and becomes determined to smack him. When she meets him again in "[[Recap/BobsBurgersS3E21Boyz4Now Bye-Bye Boo Boo]]", she gives him another slap, which instantly causes him to remember her. And as a possible CallBack to this, when she gets to kiss Rudy in "[[Recap/BobsBurgersS7E9BobActually Bob Actually]]", she slaps him too.

* BreakoutCharacter: In the vein of [[Franchise/TheSimpsons Bart Simpson]] or [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Stewie Griffin]], Louise's unrestrained attitude makes her a clear example of the mischievous kind in contrast to Tina's more surprising popularity. It says something that the only two people who routinely get more focus than Louise are the show's namesake and fellow BreakoutCharacter.

* KidsHateVegetables: She confirms in "Late Afternoon in the Garden of Bob and Louise" that she's not a big fan of vegetables, and even directly attributes it to being a kid. In the credits of "Show Mama from the Grave" she's seen taking the vegetables from her plate of meatloaf and putting them on Tina's.

** That said, it's possibly more of a ZigZaggedTrope. While Bob does occasionally let the kids watch stuff they probably shouldn't, it's implied Louise hasn't actually seen all of these and is just going by particularly famous images and phrases associated with said movies. When she's dressing as something way above her age group for Halloween, it's usually for the sake of a pun. She didn't actually know [[Film/NoCountryForOldMen Anton Chigurh's]] name, only knowing what movie he was from, suggesting she may have only seen promotional material. And when she was dressed as [[Film/TheGirlWithTheDragonTattoo "The Dragon With a Girl Tattoo"]] and Linda said she was "flipping the script," Louise genuinely didn't know what she meant, implying this particular costume pun was on accident.

* BrilliantButLazy: "Poops!... I Didn't Do It Again" implies that she could have genuinely good grades if she actually studied more, as when she ''does'' apply herself she knocks it out of the park. "Touch of Eval(uations)" confirms it--she's lazy enough to slap together a project in just a minute (which predictably gets her a crappy grade), but when properly motivated she follows that up with another project that gets an A-.

"Amelia" also shows her getting genuinely invested in her Amelia Earhart project and putting together a fantastic shadow display, though she's also largely motivated by proving Wayne wrong.

* SexIsViolence: G-rated version. When she develops a crush on Boo Boo from Boyz 4 Now, she doesn't want to kiss him or get his autograph, she wants to slap him. She follows through at the end of the episode, and even slaps him again during their second meeting in "Bye Bye Boo Boo".

**Frond immediately accuses her of destroying his dolls in "The Silence of the Louise". Louise points out that destroying the dolls and making the aftermath look like the scene of a murder is excessive even for her, and just like "Turkey in a Can" she spends the rest of the episode looking for the real culprit.
