* InformedFlaw: Her father thinks she's an idiot, but that appears to be because she's a Chinese girl who's bad at math.

* InformedFlaw: Her father thinks she's an idiot, but that appears to be because she's a Chinese girl who's bad at math. When she finally does appear, she's revealed to be very cunning and street-smart, but also prone to poor impulsive decisions, like suddenly deciding to run out on a black market organ sale with both the money and the organ. If Francine hadn't been there to help her escape, the prospective buyers would have surely killed her for it.



** She does tend to make poor decisions on the spur of the moment, like suddenly deciding to run out on a black market organ sale with both the money and the organ. If Francine hadn't been there to help her escape, the prospective buyers would have surely killed her for it.


Added DiffLines:

* ThanksForTheMammary: The B-Plot of "Now and Gwen" has Stan doing his best to "innocently" cop a feel by hugging her when she shows up. Steve wants in on this, so Stan teaches him how to get it done. Steve screws up his attempts and Gwen is convinced he is "special". He uses this to his advantage to finally hug her tight, nest his face right into her cleavage, and grab her butt in the process.

* KarmaHoudini: Manipulated Stan into doing all his father's duties and being completely dependent on her emotionally. Also [[spoiler: outright tried to kill Roger for money, and as far as the public is concerned, she did it.]] Unlike Jack, she's never faced comeuppance and most of the time is treated as in the right. Even worse than all of that, she manipulated Stan into mercy killing his dog for no reason.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After Jack left, Betty manipulated Stan into becoming dependent on her and even tricked him into killing his own dog because they couldn't bring it with them to their new apartment. The amount of mind games and smothering she used to make him do whatever she wanted backfired pretty badly on her when Stan started to kidnap every guy she dated out of fear they'd break her heart. If she hadn't warped Stan as a child, she might've been able to create a stable relationship for herself much sooner.
