* HiddenDepths: In the episode ''Gizmo Gwen,'' Whatnaught surprisingly turns out to have an innate understanding of machinery; at least when he finds a screw on the floor he's instantly able to deduce not only that it's missing from Gwen's malfunctioning machine, and that this is why the machine was malfunctioning in the first place, but even (by looking at the blueprints) which part of the machine it comes from. In "Royal Forever", it's implied that he built a captapult that he and the other animals use to take out the guards imprisioning the royal family.

* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Sofia isn't quite as girly as her stepsister [[LovableAlphaBitch Amber]], but she's definitely not a tomboy: she has long flowing hair, wears [[GracefulLadiesLikePurple violet]] and [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] dresses and tiaras, likes dancing, loves cute animals, and has a lot of traditionally feminine interests. However, she is also much more willing to take physical risks than a typical PrincessClassic, without being a full-on ActionGirl; and is also the only princess ''ever'' to try out for and earn a spot in [[RoyalSchool Royal Prep's]] flying derby team.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: She has ''successfully tamed a dragon'', but to most people is appears that she's utterly nuts. It's evidently an act, especially given that she seems total normal, if a bit wild and adventurous, when around Sofia alone.

* NeverFoundTheBody: He's simply said to have been "lost at sea". Given that the magical nature of the Ever Realm, it's possible he's still alive, but the show's intent is that he has passed away.

* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: Thanks to her mother marrying King Roland.

** Initially she's overwhelmed by the escalating range of challenges put before her after becoming a princess, but she learns to be adept at any given situation (even when her youth and small size would be disadvantages), becoming a bolder and more self-actualized person who'll stand up to defend her loved ones no matter the danger. This culminates with the SeriesFinale, [[spoiler:where she becomes a Protector, a position of guardianship, while Amber takes the role of queen and future leader.]]

** Her being a MissingMom is also a reference to the other absent mothers (who were also usually queens) in Disney Princess movies, those being ''WesternAnimation/{{Snow White|AndTheSevenDwarfs}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'', ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'', ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'' (with the death of Ariel's mother shown in ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidIIIArielsBeginning''), ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' (and ''WesternAnimation/MulanII'', for that matter).

** She also initially unaware of Amber's jealousy towards her, but realizes in time by the dance lesson.

* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Sofia isn't quite as girly as her stepsister [[LovableAlphaBitch Amber]], but shes definitely not a tomboy: she wears violet dresses and tiaras, loves cute animals, and has a lot of traditionally feminine interests. However, she is also much more willing to take physical risks than a typical PrincessClassic, without being a full-on ActionGirl; and is also the only princess ''ever'' to try out for and earn a spot in [[RoyalSchool Royal Prep's]] flying derby team.

* MagicPants: Her clothes disappear and reappear along with her whenever she transforms into animal and back.

* PrincessClassic: A reconstruction of the trope in the same line as [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]] and [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Anna]]. She is more adventurous and outspoken than the classic portrayals of this character and has shades of being a TomboyPrincess, and can do wrong from time to time (although she always does the right thing at the end which delivers the moral), but otherwise fits the archetype perfectly.

* SpeaksFluentAnimal: The Amulet of Avalor gives her the power to speak with animals.

* BadassBaritone: Travis Willingham gives him a deep, commanding voice fitting of a ruler.

* OverprotectiveDad: He's showing signs of this. In the episode "The Buttercups" he didn't want Sofia to go to the woods even though she'd be with her troop and have adult supervision.

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Or Amazingly Embarrassing Aunt in this case. Amber and James dread her visit because she pinches their cheeks and pats their heads before asking them to help her bake pies.

* TricksterMentor: To Sofia.

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Is just as interested in girly things like dresses and tea parties as Amber is.
