* CheatersNeverProsper: She tries to cheat in orientation in multiple ways, including by using a magical battery provided by an older student to charge her spells and by having Brynne use her seer powers to look ahead in the course and then tell her where the death traps were through a magical crystal. She still was defeated and (possibly) killed by Emily.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: She was about to complete the orientation course and win her heat when Yawkly appeared behind her. Even though Yawkly was much too far away to catch up, Lily turned and attacked her, almost killing the other girl. This not only stalled Lily but also enraged Emily enough to finally catch up to Lily, after which Emily crushed the other girl in battle.



* KickTheDog: After Emily defeats and traps Luban, Lily arrives and coldly executes her. Even though Luban was evil, she was no longer a threat and had proven to be unable to hurt Lily even while fighting at full strength, so Lily had no legitimate reason to kill her. But she did anyways, and why? Because Luban had dared to challenge her at all, and that offended Lily so much she decided that the appropriate solution was murder.

* ArsenalAttire: Emily eventually works magical amulets into her shoes. These allow her to easily project shields below her to launch herself upwards or use them as midair platforms.



* CombatPragmatist: Emily’s main magical skill at first seems to be summoning defensive spells, like shields, with the aid of a magical amulet she crafted. But even though she (unlike Imogene, Hannah, and the Scholomance attackers) doesn't have magic which is explicitly for attacking, she quickly learns how to use the shields offensively (by slamming them into people so they are thrown into dangerous positions) and for maneuverability (by knocking them into herself to give her an extra push when she can’t quite jump somewhere). Lauren claims to be impressed by this and says that her cleverness and versatility are reasons why she thinks Emily will do well at the Scholomance.

* SlowAndSteadyWinsTheRace: Her strategy during orientation is to get to the front of her pack and then go relatively slowly while she concentrates on killing everyone trying to catch up to her. If they all die, then she can take the course as slowly as she wants and still pass.

* BadassBookworm: Gelila is one of the more book-focused rookie witches and even takes books with her to the gym. She's also clearly one of the stronger students in the class; Emily notices that even though Gelila didn't seem to get any spare changes of clothing, her outfit is still immaculate, indicating that she's able to get through most of the orientation course's traps without taking damage. (By contrast, Emily herself can't even complete the course, and it's indicated that many other students can't either.)

* MaliciousMisnaming: She insists on calling Janet Yawkly by her last name (and makes everyone else do this too) even though Yawkly hates it. She has no non-specious justification for this (at first just claiming that she doesn't want to mix Yawkly up with the class's other Janet who looks nothing like her, then changing course when the other Janet dies and saying that the name 'Janet' should now be retired in memory of the dead girl and that Yawkly should therefore keep going by her last name), so it appears she's doing this just to be malicious.
