Some of these traits were shared by her mother Jenny, and others ran in her side of the family, so she helped him deal with it better than many 1980s parents would, though she never learned she could get him diagnosed with anything.

* MuggleBestFriend: They become Doran's most recurring companions besides Morrigan and Ellen.
* NiceGuy: They are both very genuine examples, another contrast to Doran's ByronicHero traits.

* {{Polly Wants a Microphone}}: Downplayed. She doesn't like to use mimicry, only uses it when she urgently needs to get a message across, doesn't understand grammar or syntax, and sometimes gets the meaning of a word ''nearly'' correct but a little to the left.

However, when puberty set in, Doran grew to seven feet tall while Brendan reached "only" six foot six, and Brendan filled out while Doran remained deathly thin.

* {{Foil}}: To Doran. Ellen excels in human/fairy interaction because of her knowledge of human folklore and her social skills in de-escalating potential fights, detecting deception, and making quick judgements. Doran does because of his inside knowledge - well, not of fairy culture, but at least of what being a fairy is like. When he struggles in social situations he sometimes finds himself mirroring Ellen.
** She also foils [[EvilOldFolks Alan Campbell]] in how she handles aging, disability, and guardianship of children.
