* 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.

* SexForServices: Very willing to offer sex if it increases her chances of getting what she wants.
* SexForSolace: Mac asks her if she wants to feel okay about herself, why doesn’t she just bang a bunch of guys like she did in the good old days.
* SexualExtortion: In the book, in addition to Gainer and the English teacher, she and “Dr. Andrews” ‘played a game’ where he threatened to flunk her if she didn’t sleep with him again.

* HypocriticalHeartwarming: She can call Dennis psychotic and a rapist all she wants, but when he’s a person of interest in Maureen’s death she’s the only one who defends him (and also really wants to play his ex-wife), and when she’s grossed out in his rape dungeon she calls out the other woman who deems it creepy.

* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: She hates her mother, but like her she’s a cruel, skinny ManipulativeBitch who thinks she’s high class. “Frank vs Russia” adds in another element that they both love Dennis the same way, though Dee is partly like that because Dennis conditioned it in her.



* ParentalSexualitySquick: She knows far too much about Frank’s sexual tastes than she could ever want, not helped by him telling her if he’s got a cock ring or not. A bit of HypocriticalHumor going on too, as she tends to cheerfully point out whenever Dennis has a boner.
