* FunetikAksent: Both the twins and their big sister Shiena talk like this in the originals. For instance, "It is very kind of you, but we have some supper in our basket" is rendered as "It iss fery kint of you, put we haf some supper in our basket". Thankfully, the abridged versions cut it out.
* [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Race Girls]]: They're both very proud of their Highland background, to the point where they insist on travelling on the train in traditional Highland gear, and the badassery of their ancestors. They're also pretty good at handling guns.
* TranquilFury: Fiona gets like this when she's pissed off, as both Betty Wynne-Davies and Lavender Leigh find out. In fact, her whole feud starts with Betty after she responds to Betty mocking her and Flora's background by saying, "Don't mind the poor creature, Flora. She doesn't know any better. Poor thing. It is a pity, isn't it?"

* HairTriggerTemper: One of the reasons why she and Elizabeth grow away from each other - Betty is very quick to anger, to the point where Elizabeth makes it clear in ''Goes to It'' that she's fed up of Betty's rotten temper. Later, when Fiona snarks her, Betty slaps her round the face.

* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: Len. Oh, ''Len''. Practically ever since she is a baby, she is pigeonholed as the 'responsible one' and as the oldest Maynard child, she is often put in charge of the other Maynard children.

While the connection of this incident to Sybil's pride over her looks is tenuous, it does make her change her ways, as evidenced in ''Jo to the Rescue'', to the extent where Sybil has a major complex about her looks as a teenager and hates being praised.

* CoolTeacher: Miss Ferrars, Miss O'Ryan, and several others. As an aside, one notable aspect of the series is that mistresses are more humanised than in other girls' school fiction - they're more rounded and often very human characters with back stories, lives and screentime away from the pupils, rather than being mere wallpaper.

Growing up with a repressive stepmother and father leaves her bitter and unhappy, causing trouble as a pupil - for instance, when she runs away after pranking the teachers, and nearly dies on a dangerous mountain - and often taking her anger out on her pupils when she becomes a teacher (she wants to teach PE, but her father insists on her training as a music teacher instead). She does find happiness eventually, after setting up a shop in New Zealand and meeting her future husband on a cruise, but it takes a long time.

In ''Exile'', she marries Dr Jack Maynard and gives birth to triplets, the first of what would turn out to be ''eleven'' children (see below). As well as the triplets, there's Stephen, Charles, Michael, twins Felix and Felicity, Cecil, and a second set of twins, Geoff and Philippa (Phil).
* AttentionWhore: Especially in the later books, especially where babies are concerned. She seems to treat having babies as some kind of competition.

As well as being Joey's pet, he also helps her track down Cornelia and Elisaveta when they go missing. The Maynard family get another BigFriendlyDog, Bruno, much later on after Rufus dies.
