* MathematiciansAnswer: Phoebe has done this at least three times.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* DontExplainTheJoke: Phoebe's dad tells her a joke about binary trees, then sees fit to explain a little. Unimpressed, Phoebe tells Marigold, "My dad speaks '{{nerd}}.'"

** Combining this with FreakyFridayFlip, [[https://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn/2020/09/19 Marigold transformed Phoebe into her (and herself into Phoebe) for 24 hours]], in order to see which one could handle the other's life better.* ForHappiness: Marigold can get a bit... unprofessional with her magic, but she's never worse than mischievous. Most of her spells are used to make someone happy, if only herself.

* BalefulPolymorph: Marigold is very much into the idea of [[{{Shapeshifting}} slowly changing Phoebe into a unicorn]]. A magical version of a MakeoverMontage, if you will. Baby steps, as Marigold's spells are usually short-lived but by encouraging her friend [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith to identify as a unicorn]], hopes this transformation will be permanent.
** To get the Unicorn Investigative Agency off their case, [[https://schizanthusnerd.com/2020/08/20/virtual-unicorn-experience/ she and Lord Splendid Humility accidentally give the girl a temporary tail]] (which Phoebe likes). Marigold [[ShapeshifterModeLock offers Phoebe a permanent one someday]].
** [[https://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn/2019/02/10 She gives Phoebe a temporary unicorn muzzle to enable her to smell magical perfumes.]] Marigold seems genuinely pleased with the result.
** In trying to mend Dakota's [[WeUsedToBeFriends broken friendship]] with the Goblin princess, [[https://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn/2019/11/16 Phoebe is changed into a goblin herself]] (Marigold claims it was faster than trying to teach Phoebe goblin language).
** Combining this with FreakyFridayFlip, [[https://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn/2020/09/19 Marigold transformed Phoebe into her (and herself into Phoebe) for 24 hours]], in order to see which one could handle the other's life better.

* SelfDeprecation: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in [[https://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn/2022/05/08 this strip]]. When Phoebe introduces Marigold to the concept, the unicorn decides to give self-deprecating humor a try:

* SuperSenses: Marigold [[http://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn/2017/04/22 tells Phoebe]] that unicorns can see magical colors that are [[InvisibleToNormals invisible to humans]], such as blurple, the color of "the songs of spring songbirds". She considers this being BlessedWithSuck because blurple is "a gross color".

* ActuallyPrettyCatchy: Marigold admits that the song Phoebe made up at the school talent show, "Unicorns are Stupidfaces", is catchy. She even hums to it later on.

* TheFaceless: Lord Splendid Humility, whose unmatched modesty requires that he never allows anyone to see anything but his horn. (He has revealed himself to human characters, but they don't count).

* TheFaceless: Lord Splendid Humility, whose unmatched modesty requires that he never allows anyone to see anything but his horn.

** Dakota and Blartholomew the goblin.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Marigold admits that the song Phoebe made up at the school talent show, "Unicorns are Stupidfaces", is catchy. She even hums to it later on.

* MathematiciansAnswer: Phoebe has done this at leasat three times.

* MathematiciansAnswer: Phoebe's [[http://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn/2017/06/02 response]] when Marigold tells her that although Dakota is a goblin princess, the position is purely ceremonial.
-->'''Phoebe:''' So Dakota is basically a glorified mascot? I have to tell her!\\

* BaldOfAwesome: Mr. Hart, Phoebe's piano teacher.

* NotSoDifferent: Max strikes up an unlikely friendship with Alabaster "Al" Goldenwithers-Jones, a unicorn who shuns his [[GoingNative pretentious homelands in favor]] of the forests to [[PlantPerson dabble and tinker in Green energy]]. Both of them find they really love playing video games together.
