* PaperThinDisguise: Charo's transformation into Dame Daffodil doesn't change anything about her at all apart from making her hair brighter and longer. Despite Dame Daffodil's numerous published appearances in media, no one seems to recognise her. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope It then comes to light that there's a reason for this:]] the transformation has a {{glamour}} effect on others that keep the wearer from being recognised. Alesea sees through it with the power of the lily ring but it's unknown if all flower jewels have this glamour penetration.]]

Nevertheless, Charo is energetic and thrives on adventure, getting into the thick of things with speed and she'll even climb trees to rescue cats. Alesea's much more delicate and gentle, as mentioned in her bio.

This SliceOfLife follows Charo as she goes about her heroic antics, including giving lunch money to those that need it, helping ducks cross the road, teaching full-grown ducks how to swim, and making whooshing noises as she runs down the street with a cape and tripping over.

* NonMaliciousMonster: [[spoiler: A monster appears later that is blind, has no innate urge for destruction, and is just stumbling about confused while everyone cheers for Dame Daffodil to defeat it.

Added DiffLines:

* PlantMooks: The monsters, known as [[{{Planimal}} Toxic Seeds]], appear infrequently and through mysterious circumstances. Sometimes they just grow in an alleyway, undisturbed, and two have crashed in through the sky like meteorites. They tend to be defeated off-panel, though, and any shown fights are more about Dame Daffodil's growth as a hero.

Is this really the closest we have to a 'Loud One, Quiet One' trope? Also, does Yonkoma apply here? I'm not sure.
