16	!!''The Grim'' contains examples of:
17	* BearTrap: In "Fox", on her way to her grandmother's, Gertrude sees a bear trap on the forest floor with something caught in it. It freaks her out enough that she starts running, causing her to get caught in [=ANOTHER=] bear trap that she didn't see. She spends the rest of the episode on the forest floor, bleeding.
18	* {{Determinator}}: ''Nothing'' will stop Gertrude from going to see her grandmother. Not creepy woods, not bear traps, not sociopathic talking foxes, not her father's forbidding it, not a leg so badly injured that she can't even wear a boot over it, not [[spoiler:the very real possibility that her grandmother is actually ''dead'']], ''nothing.''
19	* FauxAffablyEvil: The fox initially comes off as cordial, reasonable, and fairly polite when he starts talking to Gertrude. When she doesn't do what he wants, though, he gets very nasty, very quickly.
20	* GoodScarsEvilScars: Gertrude, the hero of the story and a fairly pleasant person overall, has a single, neat scar on her left cheek.
21	* InformedSpecies: The fox in the first episode looks a lot like a lemur.
22	* TalkingAnimal: The fox from its titular episode can talk.
23	* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Gertrude's second attempt to go see her grandmother falls into this. Her ankle is still injured to the point that it gives out on her occasionally and forces her to walk with a heavy limp, and she can't even wear a boot on her bad foot; despite this, she still decides to sneak out immediately rather than waiting until she's properly healed, and furthermore chooses to leave in the middle of the night when visibility is poor. If she encounters another bear trap, or the angry fox, or any other threat that she can't fend off with her walking stick, she is ''screwed''.]]
24	* YouthfulFreckles: Gertrude has freckles scattered across her cheeks and nose, and is a young woman (seemingly in her early-mid teens) who is [[TheIngenue perhaps lacking a bit in the common sense department]].
