* SternParentDotingParent: The Stern Parent to Larry's Doting Parent. She's very hard on Lady Bird, regarding her ([[JerkassHasAPoint not inaccurately]]) as spoiled and immature, particularly given that she's oblivious to her father's mental health and money struggles.


Added DiffLines:

* SternParentDotingParent: The Doting Parent to Marion's Stern Parent. He's very sweet and indulgent to Lady Bird, [[spoiler:going behind Marion's back to fill out Lady Bird's college applications to schools which Marion doesn't think she should attend.]]

Cool Loser TRS cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


* CoolLoser: She is an attractive and strong-willed schoolgirl who nonetheless begins the film on the outside of the popular social scene. Over the course of her senior year, she starts dating people in cooler cliques.

TRS has defined The Beard as "fake straight relationship to hide being LGBT". Examples that don't fit this go in Fake Relationship or one of its other subtropes.


* TheBeard: Inadvertently becomes this for [[spoiler: Danny, who is in the closet]].

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Downplayed. Feeling betrayed by Lady Bird, Marion refuses to speak to her daughter for the summer, even when she leaves for college. Overcome with regret at the last minute, Marion tries to say goodbye to her, but arrives too late. However, as Larry notes, their girl will be back, and we already see the start of reconciliation when Lady Bird leaves a call thanking her mother at the end.

* GentleGiant: As he's generally more supportive of Lady Bird's needs and wants than Marion is, [[spoiler:even applying to East Coast colleges behind the latter's back.]]

Added DiffLines:

* LousyLoversAreLosers: Lady Bird's [[TheirFirstTime first time]] with her him is awful and unsatisfying. He doesn't try to guide her, makes no effort to really please her, and [[SpeedSex ends up climaxing extremely quickly]]. It's particularly painful because he claimed to be a virgin to get her into bed, and offhandedly admits that he can't even ''remember'' how many girls he's been with at this point. Kyle's unapologetic when she voices her dissatisfaction and then outright mocks her for thinking he would try to make her first time special.
-->'''Lady Bird:''' I just wanted it to be special.\\
'''Kyle:''' Why? You're going to have so much un-special sex in your life.\\
'''Lady Bird:''' I was on top! Who the fuck is on top their first time!?

* InnocentlyInsensitive

to:

* InnocentlyInsensitiveInnocentlyInsensitive: Danny's well-intentioned but can come across as thoughtless from time to time. [[spoiler:He congratulates Lady Bird on the waitlist but in doing so accidentally spills the fact that she applied to her mother]].



* {{Hipster}}: He plays in a rock band, spends his time brooding and reading, makes lots of antiestablishment statements, and is part of the cool clique.
