* AmicableExes: Her and HP used to date, though as a result of HP still being uncomfortable fighting alongside others back then as well as Lime being too "hardcore" for her ([[PokeThePoodle such as her drawing bathroom graffiti with permanent marker]]), they never got particularly close and their relationship ultimately didn't last. That said, they are shown to still be friendly towards each other in the present.

* MinionMaster: Unlike Goops, who apparently could only passively affect monsters, she can command them much more directly, even inducing one to precisely shoot Anemone through the inner barrier. Additionally, she retains Goops' buffing powers, and can even "store" a number of monsters within the goop from her hair.

It can even be repurposed to heal someone at the brink of death, though Tessa using it for this drained all her powers away permanently.
