Elaborated on Only One Name, shout-out


* AntiRoleModel / GirlsNeedRoleModels: on the surface, Nemi is a cursing, short-tempered, violent, disorganized, disillusioned youngster who feels out of touch with society. Many girls and women have stated they find Nemi an excellent role model, however, precisely because she never fails to stand up for herself or speak her mind when she needs to.

* AuthorTract: Nemi strips often preach about the cartoonist's opinions of animal rights and whatnot.

* AuthorTract: Nemi strips often preach about the cartoonist's opinions of animal rights and whatnot. In fact, a staple of Nemi comics is how they [[MoodWhiplash switch back and forth]] between hilarious humor to dead serious strips or even short stories about death, war, child abuse, rape, and other very serious topics.
* BerserkButton: Nemi has plenty.



** Lise Myhre, who is herself black-haired and full of attitude, has expressed frustration with people who think Nemi is meant to be her alter ego.



* RememberTheNewGuy: Ofelia, the fat, dumpy woman, originally only appeared in her own Sunday pages that seemed to have no connection to the other strips. Then she started hanging out with Nemi and Cyan, and now she's part of the regular cast. There was never any strip about her first meeting with Nemi and c:o, they just treat her as if she's always been there.

** And then there is the amount of band shirts worn throughout the years. There are LOTS of [[ShoutOut Shout outs]].
* SmokingIsCool - Nemi's cigarette, complete with beutiful twirling smoke, featured prominently in the early comics and even on some front book and comic covers. Lise Myhre once expressed frustration at how people criticized her for this, and said that "I give my readers enough "cred" to be confident they won't start smoking because of Nemi". Later, however, Nemi's smoking habit died away, and Myhre now says she is "startled" whenever she sees Nemi with a cigarette.
