History Fanfic / ThoseObnoxiousGhosts

* BastardGirlfriend: While only Danny's self-proclaimed wife, Lum blackmails Danny into letting her stay with him as well as acts very clingy and controlling towards him, electrocuting him whenever he displeases (or just by accident) and threatening to punish him whenever he spends time with other girls, especially Sam.

* The Determinator: Danny refuses to give up in the tag race no matter how many times Lum zaps him. This greatly impresses her, especially when Danny beats her.

* BastardGirlfriend: While only Danny's self-proclaimed wife, Lum blackmails Danny into letting her stay with him as well as acts very clingy and controlling towards him, electrocuting him whenever he displeases (or just by accident) and threatening to punish him whenever he spends time with other girls, especially Sam.

* BrainlessBeauty: Rei is a rare Male Example. This is the main reason why Lum refuses to get back together with him because he doesn't think about anything but eating.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Lum, just like in canon.

* TooMuchAlike: Both Sam and Lum are stubborn, jealous girls who [[NeverMyFault has problems admitting their own flaws, mistakes, fallacies and wrongness]], [[ItsAllAboutMe always want to make things their own way, impose their own ideas on others]], and [[AttentionWhore want to be the centre of Danny's attention]]. And this is the only reason they can't get along.

** Even Tucker loses interest in Lum after all the trouble she causes with the mutated swallow and her ex-boyfriend Rei going on a rampage.

* WouldHurtAChild: Skulker has no problem kidnapping the infant Ten and putting him in an electrified cage or hunting him until he's of age.

* WouldHitAGirl: After being pushed too far by Lum when she causes her ex-boyfriend Rei to go on a rampage, he blasts her with an ecto-ray to show he's serious about his threat to force her out of his life.
* WouldntHitAGirl: As annoyed as he is by Lum's stubbornness, Danny can't bring himself to physically hurt Lum because she's clearly no fighter. That goes out the window when he finally reaches his breaking point with her antics.

* NotGoodwithRejection: Ten throws a tantrum, like any 2-year-old does, when Sam rejects him.

* AdultsAreUseless: {{Averted|Trope}} with Danny's parents who helps Danny to win a challenge. Played straight with Mr Lancer, who is a CompositeCharacter in this story (his canon self and teachers from ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', [[ExaggeratedTrope making him even more useless than all of them put together]] and an even bigger ButtMonkey).

* BigSisterInstinct: Lum is very protective of Ten.
** Danny was very protective of Jazz when Rei grabbed her.

* BitchinSheepsClothing: Ten behaves himself around girls and Lum but when he's alone with Danny, he shows how much of a brat he is by insulting him and saying he's not good enough for Lum. Sam instantly dislikes Ten since she can see him as this due to her experiences with babysitting her SpoiledBrat cousins.

* ChildrenAreInnocent: Zig-zagged with Ten. Aside from picking fights with Danny and his not-so-innocent attraction towards women, Ten causes problems left and right due to a naïve understanding of how the world works, including the consequences of his actions, rather than out of malevolence. When encountering something strange, he usually displays curiosity and observance rather than arrogance. The downside of this is that he's so gullible he can be easily fooled and too reckless to think his actions through. All in all, Ten's character embodies the feeling you have when little kids unknowingly mess with your precious stuff.

** Rei is Lum's ex-fiance and he wants her back, he also is jealous that she picked Danny over him.

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Lum can quickly tell Sam is in love with Danny, her jealousy and overprotective attitude towards him sure were a dead giveaway.

** After being saved by Danny, Ten eventually understands why Lum lost interest in Rei despite him being a handsome Oni warrior since he's a gluttonous pretty boy who cares more about food than people.

** Sam doesn't like Ten but she still doesn't want him to listen to anything inappropriate like Lum talking about getting impregnated by Danny.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: No one in Team Phantom likes Lum because of all the trouble she and her people have caused them; they only tolerate her because she's blackmailing Danny into letting her stay with him. Tucker does find her attractive, though, but not that she notices. But even Tucker has his limits with her and is so disgusted by her behavior that he starts to lose his attraction to her.

* GrewASpine: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zig-zagged.]] It's not that Danny is submissive towards Lum and is unwilling to kick her out of his life; it's just that Lum is blackmailing him with his secret identity, so Danny doesn't have much choice. However, Danny eventually reaches his [[RageBreakingPoint breaking point]] with Lum when she lies to her ex-boyfriend Rei that she is pregnant, causing him to attack Danny and almost destroy his house. After winning the fight, Danny ''finally'' spells out to Lum, in explicit detail, that he doesn't love her, he never will, and that he wants her out of his life. When she threatens to expose his secret identity, he tells her that he doesn't care anymore and violently kicks her out of his house.

* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: Lum's actions have made it so her threat to expose Danny's secret doesn't work anymore, as he's too frustrated to care.

** When the Earth was about to get invaded, one geek was afraid that he wouldn't be able to buy the new comic books, earning the strange glares from others.

* SmarterThanYouLook: Lum is observant enough to deduce that Danny doesn't want humans to discover his ghost powers and uses them to blackmail him into letting her stay with him.
