Added DiffLines:

* VillainousLegacy: She may be gone after her defeat in the Fulp games, but her actions are what turned Pico into the action star he is today, and the massacre she spearheaded directly led to the introduction of the Ghettobots and Überkids to the school. In the cancelled ''Pico 2'' plot, her influence extended to inspiring another group of goth punks that would have gone on to be threats of their own.

* LoveBeALady: She's the most tied to love and romance out of the three -- heck, even her first appearance was the result of a tryst the day before. She wears hearts on her clothes, she's the most prone to being portrayed as a love interest or an object of desire, and if love is a theme in a flash, it will usually involve Nene in some fashion.

The goth kids that would have been their protoges in ''Pico 2'' carry on the tradition through their inclusion of Durst, a Nu-Metal fan who couldn't fit anywhere else.

They barely move from their spot and get one line each, characterizing them as kids who just wanted space for themselves, before being unceremoniously gunned down by Cassandra.

* EveryoneHasStandards: In ''Love Conquers All'', he's surprisingly understanding of Cassandra's alien origins, and listens to the rest of the Goth Punks' grievances without belittling them. The only thing that shocks and horrifies both him and his Boyfriend is [[FauxHorrific Cassandra's desire to see furry art]].



* DepravedBisexual: Downplayed, but Cassandra has apparently had a crush on Pico, claims all Penilians are gay, and in ''Love Conquers All'' is shown to be into furry art when she asks to go to a museum depicting it.

* DittoAliens: There's no major physical difference between Penillians, as they all share the same character model. ''UFA'' was even set in a time when they took on Cassandra's fashion sense.



* GenerationXerox: ''Pico's Cousin 2'' is almost a perfect recreation of the events of ''Pico's School'' except they take place in a retirement home rather than a school. Otis fights Cyclops' and Alucard's cousins in a similar fashion to Pico, fights the ''same'' Hanzo (rebuilt with alien technology) and Damien, Cassandra's cousin, mows down his Goth Punk allies in the exact same way Cassandra did before fighting Otis in the same fashion. He can even find a "medicinal herb" to restore health just like Pico once did. The only difference is Otis receives a marginally better ending, managing to save his family from Damien.

* YouKilledMyFather: Subverted. While the rest of the Goth Punks are looking for revenge against Pico's family for their family members having been killed, Damien claims he hated Cassandra and she was a traitor.
