* {{Canon Sue}}: Trixie can verge on this at times, especially in ''Mystery of the Emeralds''. Any character who doesn't adore her at first sight is vilified, Trixie monoppolizes Diana's birthday trip for her own mystery and throws a tantrum whenever someone else wants to actually explore Williamsburg, which is treated as justified, most of her endearing tomboy traits are lost. She's taught herself to develop a "photographic memory", a character meets her and immediately declares that she's the most intelligent of the three girls, and anyone who disagrees with Trixie, even for the mildest of details, is portrayed as wrong.
** In the same book, [[{{Tomboy}} Trixie]], who is from a middle-class farming family, is able to identify fake jewels with certainty before either of her two wealthy female friends, one of whom has grown up surrounded by precious jewelry, the other whose parents have recently acquired wealth and are avid buyers of ostentatious antiques and jewelry as a display of their sudden affluence. Both of them should have been able to identify the necklace before Trixie.

* {{What An Idiot}}: During ''Mystery of the Mississippi'', Trixie and her friends are being stalked by a ruthless man, who unknownst to her, is a terrorist. What she does know is that a cohort of the terrorist has already nearly succeeded in bringing her and her five friends out to an isolated spot on the river, and they were only saved by sheer luck. So what does she decide to do? Go swimming in the hotel pool, ''alone'', ''after hours'', when she knows that she is in danger, without telling anyone where she's going, which of course, leads to the terrorist nearly killing her. {{Too Dumb To Live}} barely even describes such stupidity.

** The very moment Trixie sees Dan, she points and laughs with her wealthy friends, mocking his clothing. He notices this and takes offense, and doesn't make any effort to impress them when they are introduced, which irritates Trixie. However, not only is understandable to be cold toward a person who was openly mocking you, but on re-reads, the audience realizes that Dan probably did not have much other clothing to wear. Culture differences guarantee his city clothing would be viewed differently in a small suburban town.
** When Trixie and her wealthy friend Honey go horseback riding, they notice Dan wandering around the game preserve where he works, attempting to walk home from school, wearing clothing that isn't adequate for winter of wilderness. Honey offers to help him, while Trixie stares at Dan judgmentally, but Dan sullenly refuses Honey's help, expressing reservation about associating with the daughter of his employers (Again, understandable in his situation). Trixie is angered by Dan's unfriendliness, and insults him to Honey as though Dan isn't there. This incident begins bad blood between Trixie and Dan for the rest of the book and verbal battles, including her accusing him of theft and vandalism based solely on circumstantial evidence, which brings Dan's uncle to dislike him even more (though Trixie isn't aware of this). All of this is in spite of three people, Honey, another wealthy friend, and family friend whom Trixie believes is Dan's grandfather (he's not), asking Trixie to make more of an effort to be nicer to Dan, at which she only gives a single, luke-warm attempt.

** Dan was held captive by his former gang for two weeks, on the third floor of a hotel, in the middle of the summer, in room that did not have air-conditioning. The possibility of him being physically tortured with switchblades was hinted at, and the shaky circumstances preventing him from being tortured fell through, increasing its chances. He never expresses any emotion about this at all.
