Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguousSituation: In "The Gang Buys A Roller Rink" when she's being TheCutie, there's an option that she's got over being a monstrous teenager and has some hope for once, or she's trying her level best to be stepford. Either way, the head injury kills it, and word of Kaitlin is that Dee can't even remember when she had everything she now wants.

Added DiffLines:

** As well as happily admitting she's a rapist in season sixteen, her attitudes towards statutory rape loosen up considerably, from not wanting to do it in season one, to regret in season thirteen, to having no problem announcing it in season fifteen.

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: By season fifteen and sixteen, she's got over "women can't rape men" and thinking she's the TokenGoodTeammate, and happily admits to being a selfish rapist who has roofies.

* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: Most notably in "The Gang Goes on Family Fight". Where she attempts to buzz in the answer but accidentally destroys the buzzer with her own bare hands. (Like she has hands made of anvils.)

* {{Gasshole}}: Burps and gags quite a lot when drunk, and occasionally when sober. According to Dennis, everything she eats makes her fart "a shit-ton".

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Kaitlin confirmed that Dennis is the only thing keeping Dee in the group and really wants his love and approval. When he leaves for a year and a half, Dee {{self serving memory}}s that she got him to stay.

* TheScapegoat: When in doubt, blame Dee. It's pretty much the Gang's unofficial motto. It was also the dynamic when she was a child, as Barbara would twist a way to blame her for everything, and isolate her that way.

Added DiffLines:

* CannotSpitItOut: Word of Kaitlin and Glenn is that Dee and Dennis are secretly in love with each other, and while he openly says it (in between being shitty to her), she shows her love in different ways. In "The Gang Goes To Hell" he tells he loves her and is hurt by her "whatever", but when underwater she holds his hand to her chest and smiles at him.

Added DiffLines:

* ICouldaBeenAContender: In the current day she regularly attends acting classes and attempts an open mic night, even though her acting is all over the place and her stand up material nonexistent. This turns out to be largely rooted in getting a little bit of praise in high school from an acting teacher, and [[JadedWashout convinced herself she must have some talent and has to find it]].

* MrsRobinson: Has a tendency to call herself mama (also calls roofies “mommy’s magic beans”), and when trying to cuck another woman by sleeping with her boytoy, she ends up sleeping with a seventeen year old. In a deleted scene for “The Gang Gets Whacked”, she promises to be Charlie’s mommy if he’d be her daddy, and often controls Dennis by acting motherly.

** Sweet Dee's character was originally written to be the [[WomenAreWiser voice of reason]] or the [[TheLoad "useless chick"]]. Kaitlin Olson described the dialogue as "Charlie says something hilarious. Mac says something hilarious. Dennis says something awesome. And Sweet Dee goes [[WetBlanketWife 'You guys! That won't work!']] " By the end of the first season, Kaitlin had Dee become just as deranged and depraved as the guys.

* FemaleMisogynist: Dee generally gets along very poorly with other women, and almost always attempts to instigate some kind of rivalry with any that she spends any significant amount of time with. In "Make Paddy's Great Again", she admits that she prefers being [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the only woman in the group]] because [[IJustWantToBeSpecial it makes her feel special]]. In "Thunder Gun 4: Maximum Cool", she's opposed to the titular film's inclusion of a capable female character because it makes her feel insecure about ''herself''. In "A Woman's Right to Chop", she defends women getting short haircuts while openly berating how it looks on them to their faces. In "The Gang Goes to Ireland", she blames a director unwilling to sleep with her for a role on his show as the work of "feminists ruining everything."

It's gotten to the point that she resents having been born a woman and wishes she had a penis to feel powerful.
