* EvilCounterpart: Evil might be pushing it, but the more we get to know Nora the more it's clear that she possesses all Jen's negative traits, in particular her selfishness, pettiness, vindictiveness, callousness, and willingness to use others for her own gain, only without any of her positive and sympathetic one's to act as a counterbalance.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: On the surface she presents herself as a sweet, charming woman, and a loving mother, who works as a lifestyle coach and influencer who is all about people finding their best lives. Behind closed doors, she is revealed to be a petty, spiteful, vindictive manipulative woman who only cares about her image and fobs off her son's life on [[spoiler: Jizzlord, his father, even though he isn't the biological father, as Alfie was the product of an affair between Nora and his best friend]]. She even has her son dye his hair brown because it doesn't fit her aesthetic (he is naturally ginger).

* UtilityMagic: Her job at a law office is primarily to contact the dead to settle legal matters. Since people just use her for her powers, Carrie starts to feel like they just use her as an appliance, and not for her law expertise.


Added DiffLines:

* AnImmigrantsTale: She describes her and Jen's immigration to England as a harrowing journey of struggle and culture shock in order to live a better life. As Jen points out, Mary is clearly overexaggerating things to make it sound like an issue.

Added DiffLines:

* ExtremeDoormat: She frequently beecomes one, with her unfailing tendency to put everyone else's needs above her own, especially Jen's and Kash's.

Added DiffLines:

* ItsAllAboutMe: Jen tends to view herself as a poor, put-upon victim, but while her life really ''isn't'' the best, she's not that good at recognizing that other people might struggle as much or even more than her. As a result she can be very self-centered and even callous, with a knack for making every situation about her even when it should be ''obvious'' that it's not.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Self-centered and callous, Jen can also be supremely petty and directly mean, especially towards people she doesn't like... but she does have a heart and gets a number of PetTheDog moments.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Womanchild}}: The epitome of maturity, she is not. Especially when dealing with her family she acts more like an irresponsible, sulky teenager than the 25 year old she is.
