No troping the creator herself. Also, no trope slashing, example also provided no other context.


* AscendedExtra: A meta example. Like many other recurring characters on ''Series/{{The Office|US}}'', she wasn't intended to develop past her original purpose as cast fodder. Mindy only was hired to write for the show, but her character grew traction quickly after a few speaking lines in the first season, and she was eventually [[PromotionToOpeningTitles promoted to the opening credits]] towards the end of its run.
* AsianAirhead: She often plays this trope, making her a rare Indian example.
* BunnyEarsLawyer / TheDitz: If she's not playing the former, then she's probably playing the latter.
