* CoordinatedClothes: They typically all dress the same, but there are some series, particularly ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen2013'', where they began to differentiate.



* DependingOnTheWriter: Specific personality traits get shifted between the sisters depending on who is writing them.



* FunWithAcronyms: Their initials were intended to spell "spice", as an EasterEgg. Unfortunately, this was never made explicit and one sister was left unnamed at the end of ''Comicbook/NewXMen''. The next writer named her "Mindee". Her actual name was later revealed to be "Irma", restoring the acronym.

* TheCassandra: In issue 2 of ''X-23 Vol. 4'', Irma appears to recognize something isn't right about the plan to save Esme's life by putting her mind in Gabby's body, worrying that they are being influenced by Esme, but Celeste and Phoebe shout her down in their determination to maintain the now-Four-in-One.
* HeelRealization: A preemptive one by Irma in issue 1 of ''X-23 Vol. 4'', as she warns her sisters if they proceed with their plan, they'll be the bad guys.

* LoveCannotOvercome: She breaks up with Quentin after accidently seeing him daydream of one day having a kid with her. Phoebe claims that he is "too much" in everything he does and that it is overwhelming to be with someone like that while noting that her most important commitment will always be to her sisters. However, this is partly an excuse for her sisters having pressured her into ending the relationship as they viewed it as a distraction to their work that they had "tolerated" for long enough.

gone, although they were eventually restored. However, they are not as emotionless as the pretend to be, as several of their psychic conversations and arguments with each other have shown.
* FaceHeelTurn: The Three-In-One had a brief one in ''X-23 Vol. 4'' by kidnapping Gabby Kinney as part of their plan to resurrect Esme. Only Irma expresses any real reluctance, and later turns on the others to help Laura save Gabby and manages to convince Celeste and Pheobe that they have been played.

* HiddenDepths: For all their insistence that they are of one mind, the five of them have frequent arguments, don't all share the same interests, and have sometimes tried to express an individual identity outside of the hive mind.



* SecretKeeper: During the Utopia era Celeste, Irma, and Phoebe agreed to keep the existence of X-Force a secret for Cyclops, partially because they knew Emma wouldn't approve of it.



** For a time the Cuckoos were reduced from Five to Three-In-One, as Sophie and Esme were both killed as a result of Esme's machinations. Since then, the two sisters have been resurrected a number of times, only to die again as the plot concludes. [[spoiler:Sophie and Esme are back ''again'' in ''Comicbook/DawnOfX'', but it's anyone's guess whether it will stick this time.]]

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: In ''X-23 Vol. 4'', Celeste ends up impaled on the end of Gabby's claw while Esme is possessing Gabby, after Sophie reveals herself and exposes Esme's treachery, and Esme loses patience with her sisters. Fortunately, it wasn't fatal.
* ShipTease: Has shown interest in Agent Jake Oh and Hellion in the past.



* CameBackWrong: Esme wasn't exactly right to begin with, having always been the most overtly villainous Cuckoo. However, her multiple stints as a corpse pretty much sent her off the deep end during her brief resurrection in ''X-23 Vol. 4''. Esme's subsequent resurrection on Krakoa seems to have alleviated much of that damage to her mind.



* EasilyForgiven: Despite her past villainous actions, including murdering Sophie twice and attempting to steal Gabby's body, Esme is treated as an equal in the Five-In-One on Krakoa and is trusted on the same level by Emma despite having tried to murder her in the past.



* ItsAllAboutMe: During her brief resurrection in ''X-23 Vol. 4'', Esme makes it clear in her MotiveRant in issue 4 that her plan isn't so much about reuniting the Five-In-One as it is empowering herself.



* SanitySlippage: Her usage of kick took a heavy toll on her mind, causing her and Xorn to become delusional.



* TheCassandra: In issue 2 of ''X-23 Vol. 4'', Irma appears to recognize something isn't right about the plan to save Esme's life by putting her mind in Gabby's body, worrying that they are being influenced by Esme, but Celeste and Phoebe shout her down in their determination to maintain the now-Four-in-One.

to:

* HeroicSacrifice: Used kick to empower herself during Quentin Quire's riot to direct her sisters in stopping him through the use of Cerebra. The mental strain killed her, which was later revealed to be part of Esme's plan to eliminate her most powerful sister.
* ShipTease: During the ''Chaos War'' event, she and several other dead mutants were briefly resurrected. During that time, Sophie and John Proudstar grew close and before returning to the afterlife once more hoped that they might be reunited if ever resurrected again. This has yet to be followed up on after both return on Krakoa.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Unlike the rest of her sisters, Sophie has always been portrayed positively and wanted to be a hero.

* TokenEvilTeammate: In her first life Esme was the cruelest of the sisters and actually turned fully evil by trying to murder Emma and joining Xorn's Brotherhood.

* BattleCouple: She worked alongside Quentin on several missions for X-Force during their relationship, most notably while helping him track down and destroy all of his bodies that Xeno was utilizing as weapons.

* SecretRelationship: Began one with Quentin on Krakoa despite the rather lengthy history and bad blood between him and the sisters. Phoebe hid it from the other four because she knew they would disapprove and because she wanted something all to herself that she did not have to share with them.
