132* AttentionWhore: Especially in "And Baby Makes Four", where she spends the entire episode trying to hog attention away from her baby brother at his own party.

134* DisappearedDad: Averted; she does have a father as seen in "And Baby Makes Four". He also shows up in "Fishing Lessons".

136* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She has a huge opinion of herself, though she does have a good side. It just takes some digging to find it.
137* LovableAlphaBitch: Jetta is a snotty RichBitch but still has a heart.

140* SmallNameBigEgo: Once she nominated herself as Islander Of The Year.
141* VitriolicBestBuds: With Emily and Charley, frequently. And especially true with her relationship with Clifford, who she is openly disdainful of due to his frequent interference but knows he's as loyal a friend as they come.
