* SmartBall: While not exceptionally so, Elmyra is much more savvy in this segment than she usually is, such as recognizing when a C Monkey is pulling the MirrorRoutine on her but doesn't quite figure out how they're doing it, or complaining about the "eyeball-in-the-dark" routine in a cave just when she was getting close to catching a C Monkey.

* EveryoneHasStandards: For being such an animal lover, when it comes to sea life Elmyra is notably pickier on what she things is cute, finding some of their behavior actually shocking such as when she witnesses some fish eating one another, and not gushing over some of the more dangerous fish. She also expresses annoyance when some neon sea life starts mocking her in the cave, and when she comes across a scary big red fish with sharp teeth in a clam, she screams and quickly shuts it.
