Her adding them ''after'' the others are finished outlining the plot and overruling Luz when she expresses her concerns rub the latter the wrong way, and contribute to her decision to change it again before submitting it (albeit she still implements said suggestions). This leads to friction between the friends, and in an interesting twist, Sasha herself agrees that she'd have avoided the worst of it all if she'd dropped the {{Jerkass}} part entirely.

** "Grievances Arise" begins with Luz and Marcy complaining about how the ''Cynthia Coven'' TV series was ScrewedByTheNetwork for not fitting the brand, and it then turns into a conversation about other cartoons cancelled too soon like ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan The Spectacular Tarantulad]]'', ''[[WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes The Vengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes]]'', and ''[[WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen Feral-Man and the Extreme-Men]]''. Luz says that the last show isn't quite as good as [[WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries the 90s Extreme-Men cartoon]], which is [[WesternAnimation/XMen97 getting a revival]], or [[WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution Evolution]] because it focused too much on [[Characters/MarvelComicsLogan Feral-Man]] at the expense of other characters like [[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops Optic]].

Added DiffLines:

* BrilliantButLazy: Anne's status as the 'lazy' part of this trope is given more focus due to the prologue arc taking place prior to her CharacterDevelopment. She's athletic enough to easily win a tennis competition in school, but is typically such a slacker that said skill surprises Luz. And despite getting the worst grades out of the girls, she still proudly displays them and notes they're an improvement.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Among the daughters of Sasha's mother and her new boyfriend, Molly Jo, Stacy, and Sasha fall into each respective category. Molly Jo is openly nice to Luz, and has apparently tried to stop Sasha from getting ''too'' reckless. Stacy is the mean on account of openly bullying Luz and several others. Sasha is the in-between, being an earnest friend to Anne, Marcy, and Luz, if [[ToxicFriendInfluence overly controlling of them]].
