History Fanfic / DannyPhantomBlackmailed

* SuspiciousSpending: The main reason Colette enlists her mother's help (i.e. receives money from her) despite already being very rich, is because Stella and Jean Luc have been keeping track of her spending and she wanted to avoid this trope.

** Team Phantom is willing to team up with Valerie, Misty, Skulker, and Ember to clear their names, save Danny, and get back at Colette for ruining their lives by framing them and blackmailing the ghost boy into being her slave so she can have him all to herself.

** Jean-Luc is this, as usual, since he refuses to help Stella prove
Team Phantom's innocence because he finds it to be a waste of time and money to help children that are, in his mind, guilty and should admit it so he'd rather go have a good time with his mistress Yolanda.

** Averted again with Star, who admits to the Foleys that she attacked Tucker twice during "Beauty Marked" and "King Tuck" back in her A-Lister days, which Georgie confesses that Star was grounded for and has apologized profusely for.

** Even Vivian intensely hates Colette for her awful personality.

* {{Gonk}: Vlad finds Spectra's human disguise more appealing than Alicia.

** Jean-Luc would rather spend time with his mistress Yolanda than help his wife Stella clear Team Phantom's names since he's convinced they're guilty and she's just wasting money.

* JerkassBall: The Casper High staff, Damon Gray, the Foleys, and the Mansons instantly believe the doctored photos that frame Team Phantom for crimes they didn't commit. Although Damon and the Foleys eventually come around after some convincing from the Fentons.

** The Foleys understandably don't have the best opinion of the Fentons considering they have been giving Tucker ghost hunting equipment since he was ten, they crashed their RV into the Foleys' car, and the other cases of property damage.

* Jean-Luc won't lift a finger to help Stella clear Team Phantom's names since all he cares about is having fun with his mistress Yolanda and considers it a waste of time and money for Stella to be helping kids that are, in his opinion, guilty and should just confess to it.
* After Sam is framed by Colette, the Mansons decide to send their daughter to boarding school to get her away from Team Phantom and

* NotSoAboveItAll: While Sam usually advocates against petty revenge, even if it is justified, she can't resist vandalizing Colette's room by destroying her stuff and drawing graffiti on her pictures as both payback for framing Team Phantom and stress relief. Star joins her but they stop when Tucker reminds them of their mission to find evidence to clear their names and help Danny.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Star and Danny immediately flee from Sunkin' Donuts when they see Toadman and his snobby friends working there and they don't want anything to do with the rotten former rich kids, especially when Toadman spots them and chases them down to try to get revenge because he blames them for getting him disinherited for his harassment of Star only for them to use Danny's invisibility to disappear then the manager fires Toadman when he catches him threatening the couple then fires Vivian and Theodore for leaving work early to try to stop him along with being lousy employees in general.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Colette gets in trouble when she is caught stalking Danny and Star while they're on their date at the ice cream shop when a cop finds her spying on them in the bushes with binoculars.
** When Colette runs away from the cop who caught her spying on Danny and Star on their date, she admits that running in high heels is harder than it looked in the dinosaur movie with the lady that did it.
** When Danny sees that Colette broke into his house he tries to call the police and only stops out of curiosity over what she wants.
** Colette's increasingly unhinged behavior and growing unhealthy fixation with Danny has completely killed off any popularity she had with the A-Listers since they utterly refuse to become further involved in anymore of her schemes to steal Danny from Star and now they want her gone to the point they're ok with turning her over to the authorities if they gather proof that she resorted to breaking the law to achieve her goals because they're understandably scared of what she'll do to make Danny hers especially after she stalked him all the way to New York and hinted at kidnapping him then forcing him to be with her in "Traveled".

** Extremely downplayed for the A-Listers but by this point they've become so disturbed by Colette's increasingly unstable behavior and the lengths she's willing to go to just to get Danny (especially after she followed him all the way to New York and hinted at kidnapping him to force him into a relationship with her in "Traveled") that they not only refuse to help her any further in her schemes to split up Star and Danny regardless of how much she bribes or manipulates them but they decide to kick her out of their cliche and turn her over to the police if they get proof that she broke the law, partly because they don't want to be connected to a criminal and partly because they'd feel sorry for Danny if he did end up with someone as awful as Colette, especially if she forced him to.
* ToughLove: After Sam is framed by Colette, her parents plan to send her to boarding school to turn her into a "proper" member of high society even if it makes her hate them.

* TookALevelInKindness: Kwan has learned to accept Star's relationship with Danny since it makes her happy and strongly refuses Colette's demands to get involved in her latest plan to break them up because he bears no malice toward Team Phantom, is disgusted by the depths she's willing to sink just to satisfy her petty grudge against Star, and her obsession with Danny creeps him out to no end to the point he bluntly informs her she needs to see a school counselor. He only helps Colette when she blackmails him.

** Averted again with Star, who admits to the Foleys that she attacked Tucker twice during her A-Lister days, which she was punished for and is now ashamed of.

** Even Vivian intensely hates Colette for her haughty personality.

** After Colette frames Team Phantom, Sam's parents have decided to send her to an all-girls school in London to get her away from her friends and mold her into their idea of a proper member of high society.

** Team Phantom is willing to team up with Misty, Skulker, and Ember to clear their names and save Danny from Colette.

** The A-Listers all acknowledge that it's completely bizarre Danny would ditch Team Phantom to be with Colette, whom he has rejected for months, so they suspect she's somehow forcing him to be with her.

** Team Phantom is willing to team up with Misty, Skulker, and Ember to clear their names, save Danny, and get back at Colette for trying to ruin their lives.
* AccidentalTruth: Star doesn't know how right she is in her suspicions that Stella isn't Colette's "favorite stepmother" and that Jean-Luc might resort to bribery to win custody of Pierre in his and Stella's divorce.
* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Alicia once exposed herself to snake venom every day for a week to acquire immunity. It became helpful when Vlad tried to poison her.
* ActOfTrueLove:
** Danny agrees with Colette's demands to date her (well more like be her slave) and cut ties with his loved ones to protect them from Colette messing with their lives any further than she already has with her schemes.
** Team Phantom is willing to team up with Valerie, Misty, Skulker, and Ember to clear their names, save Danny, and get back at Colette for ruining their lives by framing them and blackmailing the ghost boy into being her slave so she can have him all to herself.

** Even Vivian intensely hates Colette for her awful personality.

** Danny agrees with Colette's demands to date her (well more like be her slave) and cut ties with his loved ones to protect them from Colette messing with their lives any further than she already has with her schemes.
** Team Phantom is willing to team up with Valerie, Misty, Skulker, and Ember to clear their names, save Danny, and get back at Colette for ruining their lives by framing them and blackmailing the ghost boy into being her slave so she can have him all to herself.

* BastardGirlfriend: Colette quickly becomes this to Danny when she forces him to date her in "Blackmailed", dragging him everywhere she goes, making him stay away from his loved ones, forcing him to act like a servant, and threatening him whenever he displeases her.

* CassandraTruth: Nobody but the Fentons, Ida, Georgia, and Star's parents believe that Team Phantom is innocent of the crimes that Colette framed them for.

* ContinuityNod: Star briefly mentions to the Foleys that she attacked Tucker twice during "Beauty Marked" and "King Tuck" back in her Beta Bitch days, which Georgie confirms that Star was grounded for and has apologized profusely for.

** While blackmailing Danny into being her boyfriend, Colette treats him as a slave during their "dates" by ordering him around, giving him no say in anything, constantly lecturing him on his etiquette and appearance, and punishing him for the pettiest of reasons. She snaps at Danny every time he either disobeys her or just says something she doesn't like by reminding him that she can expose his secret identity to the world or get his friends into even bigger trouble than they're already in. Colette goes as far as forbidding Danny from ''fighting ghosts'' unless she says so.

* DomesticAbuse: Colette is very controlling and possessive toward Danny as she treats him only as property by ignoring his feelings, blackmailing him into dating her, and threatening to ruin his friends' lives even further if he disobeys or upsets her, or refuses to cut them out of his life. Jazz flat-out says that what Colette is doing to Danny is this as it's a common tactic by abusers to isolate their victims from their loved ones to make them easier to control.

** Averted. Star admits to the Foleys that she attacked Tucker twice during "Beauty Marked" and "King Tuck" back in her A-Lister days, which Georgia confesses that Star was grounded for and has apologized profusely for.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even Vivian intensely hates Colette for her awful personality.

** The A-Listers are popular {{Jerkass}} bullies that hate Team Phantom but they've become so creeped out by Colette's growing unhealthy obsession with Danny that they're terrified of the lengths she's willing to go to just to get him, especially since they realize she crossed the line by stalking him all the way to New York to potentially kidnap and force him to be with her. They not only refuse to get further involved with Colette's schemes regarding Team Phantom, but they're seriously considering throwing her out of the A-Listers and even turning her over to the police if they find proof she's resorted to criminal actions because they don't want a crook in their clique.

* NothingPersonal: Kwan, Yolanda, and Cartland have nothing against Team Phantom and are only helping Colette conspire against them under the threat of blackmail (former) or promise of payment (latter two). Kwan is the most sympathetic because he's being forced to help Colette, is horrified by the full extent of her plan, and genuinely remorseful for ruining Team Phantom's lives, unlike the other two who are completely apathetic to the consequences it will have.

* NotSoSimilar: Team Phantom admit that while Paulina and Jean-Luc are awful people, they're ultimately just stuck-up jerks while Colette truly is evil.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Colette calls Kwan out for believing he's innocent despite being a bully, and reminds him that his partaking in the A-Listers' cruelty won't make anyone believe he was forced into helping her. He realizes she has a point.

** Part of the reason why Kwan refuses to willingly help Colette with her plan is because he's glad Star's happy with Danny and he doesn't bare any ill-will towards Team Phantom.
** Star defends Tucker from his parents accusations of harassing her in the past by making it clear he'd never do that.
** Georgia admits to the Foleys that Star has been grounded for and has apologized profusely for attacking Tucker twice during her A-Lister days.

* ProperlyParanoid: Colette's increasingly out-of-control behavior and growing unhealthy obsession with Danny has left the A-Listers rightfully scared of what she might do to get him, especially after she followed him all the way to New York with the possible intention of kidnapping him and forcing him to be her boyfriend in "Traveled". Their suspicions only grow after spotting Danny and Colette going out since even the A-Listers know that Danny is too loyal to Team Phantom to ever abandon them, especially not for Colette who he never showed any interest in for the past 6 months and correctly guess that she did something criminal to make him date her so they agree to kick her out of the group and turn her over to the police if they get proof that she broke the law because they don't want to be connected to a felon.
* ProudBeauty:
** Colette is very much this. Her ego can't handle the fact that Danny Phantom and Johnny 13 have no interest in her since, as far as she's concerned, any guy would be lucky to date her.
** Yolanda is attractive and not afraid to flaunt it, even in front of Colette.

* PsychopathicWomanchild: Danny calls Colette out on her immaturity for acting like a spoiled toddler when she doesn't get what she wants since she's been a stalker to him just because he rejected her. He even compares Colette to [[PsychopathicManchild Vlad]].

** Colette gives one to Donovan Loadman about how he's nothing but a nuisance regardless of how rich he is and he's not even 1/10th of the man Danny is, along with being even less worth her time now that he's a disgraced fool that's been disinherited and forced to work a lowly job like some peasant.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Colette gets in trouble when she is caught stalking Danny and Star while they're on their date at the ice cream shop when a cop finds her spying on them in the bushes with binoculars.
** When Colette runs away from the cop who caught her spying on Danny and Star on their date, she admits that running in high heels is harder than it looked in the dinosaur movie with the lady that did it.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Danny admits to Colette that agreeing to meet her in "Lost" was a big mistake on his part since it just led to her becoming his biggest thorn and her ruining his friends lives.

* AccidentalTruth: Star doesn't know how right she is in her suspicions that Stella isn't Colette's "favorite stepmother" and that Jean-Luc might resort to bribery to win custody of Pierre in his and Stella's divorce.
* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Alicia once exposed herself to snake venom every day for a week to acquire immunity. It became helpful when Vlad tried to poison her.

** Averted. Star admits to the Foleys that she attacked Tucker twice during "Beauty Marked" and "King Tuck" back in her A-Lister days, which Georgie confesses that Star was grounded for and has apologized profusely for.

* PickyEater:
** Jean-Luc isn't a fan of Swedish food.
** Colette does not like food from Rome.

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Averted with how Colette treats Danny. It's considered as horrible as it'd be if a man treated a woman in a similar way.

* SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond: Colette is the only one who doesn't care about Pierre as she regards him as a pest at best. In "Blackmailed", she tells Danny she considers Pierre a "mutt" and an inferior member of her purebred family who is only good for running the family business so she doesn't have to. Colette couldn't care less where he came from as long as she gets her share of the inheritance and stocks.

* ObnoxiousEntitledHousewife: While only a teenager, Colette's already just as bad if not worse than Beatrice Traville in this department and proves it in this story. Colette demands Danny become her boyfriend and future husband regardless of his feelings on the matter, makes him stay away from his loved ones so he'll only listen to her, has no respect for his opinion or consent since she constantly orders him around and violates his personal space, wants him to wait on her hand and foot, snaps at him whenever he disobeys or displeases her, and uses threats to make him stay with her.
