!!Zoë displays examples of:

* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: She co-writes two webcomics; writes all five stories on an anthology webcomic; co-hosts three podcasts; has three Website/YouTube channels; posts on a collaborative Website/YouTube channel; runs four blogs; and studies for a law degree. Oh, and she has a full time job, too.
* BerserkButton: Watch any video where she discusses homophobia, transphobia or misuses of religion. Time how long it takes for her to start ranting. You'll likely not make it past the two minute mark.
* {{Catchphrase}}: At least two, from her Website/YouTube videos:
-->"Hello, Mousers!"
-->"I'm Zoë Kirk-Robinson, you've been watching a video, and I'll see you [tomorrow/next time]."
* CunningLinguist: As her use of foreign languages in her work can attest, she understands a variety of languages, including: English, French, German, Latin, Japanese, Norwegian and Welsh. However, due to the fact that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsE0Rn2A7OU she is tone deaf]] (and is now apparently losing her hearing entirely), her pronunciation of anything except English is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BtA2WhKFnc appalling]].
* DeadpanSnarker: She is one.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: After speech therapy changed her accent and she started trying to get her old one back, she's a real-life example. Watch a few videos and you'll hear her go from English to some weird Scottish/Irish mixture, then back again.

!!Her work contains examples of:

* AffectionateParody: Several episodes of ''TheLifeOfNobTMouse'' are parodies of ''Franchise/StarTrek'' and ''Series/DoctorWho''. She has also written a short play parodying ''Franchise/StarTrek''.
* TheAlcoholic: Dr Peter Rowe in ''CurseOfTheOtherWorld'' is on the wagon, but only just.
* BrokenBird: Gretl Lune in ''Literature/UnholyCrusade''.
* BilingualBonus: She is not afraid of using multiple languages in her works, including several references in her comics to "Caecilius"; the protagonist from the ''Cambridge Latin Course'' used to teach Latin in British schools.
* BioAugmentation: Tom Carter appears to have several enhancements in him in ''The Scream of Eternity''.
* BrainUploading: Seren Oilean was uploaded into a digital city when she was five, in ''The Scream of Eternity''.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Tesrin Stepford-Brown, from ''AllOverTheHouse'', is a Barrister, a local Councillor, a Cloudcuckoolander and a Demonologist.
* TheCameo: Characters from ''AllOverTheHouse'' show up in ''TheLifeOfNobTMouse'', and vice-versa. She also re-uses characters from her [[WebSerialNovel novels and short stories]], presumably to create the appearance of a shared world.
* Cyborg: Detective Sergent Eric Ross is one in ''The Scream of Eternity''.
* DrJerk: Kate Barclay in ''[[Literature/BuildingTales Curse of the Other World]]'' is a somewhat mean-spirited jackass to everyone she comes across.
* DespairEventHorizon: It seems Seth Baron reaches one in ''Unholy Crusade''.
* EldritchAbomination: She seems to love this trope. There's at least one in ''TheLifeOfNobTMouse'', ''AllOverTheHouse'', ''CurseOfTheOtherWorld'', ''TheFinalReportOfJamesGraham'', ''HenryCarter'sJourney'' and ''TheNightShift''.
* FictionalDocument: Several. The main ones are:
** ''Wanderings'' by Mustafa Faisal, in ''CurseOfTheOtherWorld''
** The ''Blobland Band'' series of books, films and TV shows by Hubert Schlongson in ''TheLifeOfNobTMouse'' and ''AllOverTheHouse''
** ''The Book of Elbar'' in ''The Scream of Eternity''.
* IllGirl: Dr Kate Barclay is a zig-zag example of this trope. She begins ''CurseOfTheOtherWorld'' laid unconscious on a bathroom floor, covered in blood and vomit. Later on, she's relatively active.
* TheMultiverse: Kirk-Robinson loves this trope. Not satisfied with linking her two longest-running comics together into one shared universe, she also links her prose stories. To top it all off, she also created the concept of "Quantum History"; a faux scientific theory that time is split into distinct quantum states that act as individual universes and our perception of the past and future is based solely on what was most probable at the time.
* SociopathicHero: As the early chapters of ''CurseOfTheOtherWorld'' clearly show, Kate Barclay is motivated to do good simply by boredom and a need for revenge.
* {{Surrealism}}: Kirk-Robinson studied surrealism as an art student and references it a lot in her art.
* TalkingPet: Averted. Tiddles the Cow and all the Gorms in ''AllOverTheHouse'' do not speak.
* {{Transhumanism}}: Shows up a lot in her blog posts, especially when she has been playing ''SecondLife'' a lot.
