* OddlySmallOrganization: Of the three armies within Waller, the Machine Army is the only one that's really fleshed out at all. The Bio Army seems to solely consist of Doctor Bio most of the time and the Spy Army doesn't seem to have another members besides Rikki, Shadow and Gasher.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Besides Waller, the only person she cares about is herself. [[spoiler:And considering Waller [[ButHeSoundsSoHandsome IS her]]...]]
