* YoungerThanTheyLook: Most of the characters are preteens to teenagers. Pucca is 10, Garu is 12, and Tobe 15 (the oldest character with a known age is Dada, who's 14). This can be quite egregious to guess because many of them, most noticeably Garu, live alone without a guardian.

* PartySchedulingGambit: In ''Ring-Ring's Party Favors'' Ring Ring held a party and invited everyone except for Pucca, who instead got a note stating she wasn't invited and that, Ring Ring so wanted her not to show up, she wouldn't even tell the day of the party. Ring Ring also told Pucca [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking not to wear the same dress as her during the party]]. Pucca and the chefs then held a party at the Goh-Rong. Pucca invited everyone. That included Ring Ring but she didn't open the letter, assuming it was fan mail. Both parties were held at the same day and nobody showed up at Ring Ring's (other than the Vagabonds but they just ate and left). After several attempts to ruin Pucca's party, Ring Ring finally read her invitation and learned Pucca wanted Ring-Ring to tell the day of her party to avoid heolding hers the same day.
