* DitzyGenius: Though she's easily dismissed by many of the characters - and even by herself - as a vapid pretty girl, Michelle is actually a pretty good student, especially when it comes to languages. In the generation finale, this is solidified by Michelle [[spoiler: tieing with Tony for the best A-level grades in their group of friends]], surpassing even [[TheSmartGuy Jal]].

Courtesy of TRS, Kick The Son Of A Bitch isn't a trope now.


* KickTheSonOfABitch: Falsely claiming that her drama teacher molested her was obviously inexcusable, but the guy was kind of an arsehole, denied her the role not because of any principles but because he thought she was ugly and actually had molested a student (Michelle, who admittedly viewed it with annoyance rather than being traumatized, but he still deserved to be fired for it).

** Further, for all her MPDG trappings, Sid is not particularly receptive to her plucky overtures and this apparent disinterest leads her to attempt suicide; his LoveEpiphany only kicks in after the fact. Cassie ends up playing the role more conventionally to Jal, of all people, albeit in a non-romantic way.
