* ParentalAbandonment: Her mother left her in a nail bar because she was young when Floss and Ross were born and couldn't cope.

* {{Retcon}}: A mild one, in her introductory episode Mike mentions that she has been hiding from her mother. Later on, it's established that her mother left her in a nail bar when she was 18 months old.
* SweetTooth: A lot of her subplots tend to revolve around her wanting sweets someone else has.
* TookALevelInJerkAss: While Floss has always been manipulative and kind of bratty, she becomes a lot meaner in Series 3 by having her more likely to act bratty or insult or manipulate others.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Tends to manipulate anyone, including her best friends into getting what she wants. She also will say nasty things or snitch on her friends to help herself.
