Emma crosses a line in particular when she says mean things about Rosie's brother because he has cerebral palsy. Rosie responds by tipping unfinished cake mix on her.

Even Mrs Poole makes it clear that she feels Rosie's reaction was somewhat justified, and the next chapter shows that she didn't get in trouble with her mother over it.

Notable instances include her wrecking the M&Ms part of the New Years' show (getting a ban on sleepovers afterwards) and trying to do a corkscrew turn at her first snowboarding lesson (ending with a sprained ankle). She's also alienated her friends on more than one occasion by yelling at them to be fiercer competitors.

Fliss is often considered the more spoilt and appearance-orientated character in the club, especially by the other girls. She's not that bad really. She lives with her mother, her stepfather, Andy, and her little brother, Callum. Later, her mother has baby twins.
