- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She has short blonde, curly hair and wide eyes, and is a Nice Girl with a heart full of empathy.
- I'm Not Hungry: Honey goes on a hunger strike when she is imprisoned and separated from Lily in Slag's castle, refusing to eat until she and her cat are reunited. She denies being hungry even as the jailer can hear her stomach growling.

- Kind Hearted Cat Lover: She has a cat named Lilly and flees the world to stop her from being taken away by eager townspeople after she swallows Flora's ring.
- Made a Slave: Her, her father and Phoenix go to Constantinople where they are turned into slaves by the Turks, and Honey is sold off to an Indian sultan. The Dirty Old Man has the hots for her, but she escapes using his magic carpet.
- Princess Protagonist: After a mark is discovered on her foot, it turns out that she she's actually the long-lost Princess of Priscilla.
- Really Royalty Reveal: She's actually Flora's little sister. However, she was kidnapped at birth and never knew her real parents.
- Talking in Your Sleep: Much to Honey's embarrassment, a boy who rescues her while she is unconscious in episode 6 tells her she was talking in her sleep, mentioning she kept saying the name "Phoenix" over and over and even tried to kiss him. Cue gleeful snickers from the two cats.
- Tsundere: Combined with Plucky Girl in Honey. She may be an orphan, but she's not particularly the heartwarming/helpless type, and she does what she can to keep Lilly safe and doesn't hesitate to tell Phoenix off.
