Has Two Daddies is a disambig now


* HasTwoDaddies: Amber, but considering she's by no means homophobic and her hero is Oscar Wilde, she's not making too big of a deal about it.

!! This series contains examples of...

* AmbiguouslyGay: Amber doesn't know what her sexuality is - she says the only person she could feasibly imagine herself with is a Victorian writer. When she's confronted by the [=OMGs=] about her sexuality, she doesn't try to affirm her straightness.
* TheBeard: [[spoiler: Rose]] uses her boyfriend as this, somewhat unknowingly, but it's justified considering he's an attempted rapist and a pretty terrible person.
* BerserkButton: Rose appears to have one - when men ogle her figure or demean her with sexual compliments.
* BoyishShortHair: Rose cuts her hair like this on impulse, but she ends up loving how it looks.
* ChocolateOfRomance: When Maali gathers up the nerve to talk to Ash, they drink hot chocolate together and talk about their favourite books.
* ClosetKey: A crush on [[spoiler: Francesca]] clued in [[spoiler: Rose]] about her sexuality.
* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: Rose and Sky (arguably with the other girls as well).
* CoolLoser: Amber, who's witty, mysterious and a skilled writer. Her unpopularity is caused by the shallowness of her classmates.
* DeadpanSnarker: Amber is prone to this, particularly when talking about the girls in her school. Rose does this a fair amount as well.
* DudeMagnet: Rose, though [[spoiler: she's gay]] and not at all interested in male attention.
* EthicalSlut: Rose is the most outwardly sexual character out of the main girls, but she's a good person and a loyal friend.
* GirlNextDoor: Maali is innocent and shown to have a shy, fragile sort of beauty.
* HappilyMarried: Amber and Maali seem to have happy sets of parents, in contrast to Rose and Sky.
* HasTwoDaddies: Amber, but considering she's by no means homophobic and her hero is Oscar Wilde, she's not making too big of a deal about it.
* HolierThanThou: Subverted with Maali, who is deeply religious but respects that the rest of the Moonlight Dreamers aren't. When Rose [[spoiler: has her topless selfie leaked]] and [[spoiler: comes out as gay]], she's shown to be an overwhelmingly supportive friend.
* TheIngenue: Maali, though it's not glorified or fetishised unlike many versions of this Trope.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Rose was this before meeting the Moonlight Dreamers, where she TookALevelInKindness and learns that the popular girls she hangs out with aren't her real friends.
* MayDecemberRomance: Gerald is at least two decades older than Daniel, which leads Amber to suspect that the latter is her biological dad.
* NiceGirl: Maali is awkward, sweet and loveable.
* NotSoDifferent: Sky and Rose. They're both coping with traumatic experiences (Sky with her mother's death, Rose with [[spoiler: her topless photos being leaked to high-profile magazines online]]), they both have unconventional aspirations (Sky to be a poet and Rose to be a patissier), and they're both Moonlight Dreamers.
* OddFriendship: Sky is artistic and offbeat and Rose is a snarky popular girl. They end up becoming very close.
* ShrinkingViolet: Maali laments that she sometimes comes off as this, and is working on becoming more secure and assertive.
* SlutShaming: Rose endures a bunch of this, particularly when [[spoiler: her boyfriend leaked a topless photo she'd sent to him]]. She learns not to let it get to her.
