4!!Tropes That Appear In This Chapter:
5* AbsurdPhobia: The tough and daring Valentina is evidently afraid of rats...until Bruno helps her get over it. In her defense, the rats in her old home were as vicious as the people who lived there, to the point that even Bruno's pet rats scare her a bit.
6* ADayInTheLimelight: This chapter is all about Valentina and how she interacts with the Madrigals.
7* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Alma doesn't approve of Valetina because she thinks Bruno needs a ProperLady.
8* HiddenDepths: Despite acting like a fearless ActionGirl who can't be fazed by anything, Valentina is about as anxious as Bruno, ''especially'' about social situations.
9* LovedByAll: While Alma is still on the fence about Valentina and Bruno, the rest of the family loves Bruno's girlfriend and her stories about her crazy adventures.
10* OutOfFocus: The chapter doesn't show or mention Hiccup and Toothless, focusing instead on Bruno and Valentina.
11* SignificantWardrobeShift: To make a good impression, Valentina buys a green dress for the lunch at Casita.
12* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Having been raised in a town populated by meat-headed chauvinists, Valentina likes Bruno because he's a quiet, soft-hearted dreamer that actually listens to her.
13* SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond: While Valentina's eccentric history endears her to Bruno's nieces and nephews and his sisters are just happy that he has a girlfriend, Alma disapproves because she thinks she is too "rough" for her son. While explaining her [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan reasons]] why she's with Bruno endears her a little, Alma only "tolerates" her.
14--> '''Valentina''': Aw, that's real nice of you... ''mom!''\
15'''Alma''': Don't push it...
