History Wrestling / Carmella

** Also, her friendship with [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]], who is a [[IntergenerationalFriendship significantly older]] [[SaltAndPepper black]] [[PlatonicLifePartners man]] whose personality tends toward the... well, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} eccentric.]]

** Enzo and Cass criticised her for accepting presents from their rivals, Blake and Murphy. Carmella's response was to point out that Blake and Murphy were treating her better than Enzo and Cass were. Given that Enzo frequently refused to stop hitting on her even when she clearly told him she wasn't interested, she wasn't wrong.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: By way of obvious fake tan in her case.

* TookALevelInBadass: Began as just a valet who only occasionally wrestled. She buckled down, trained hard and earned a shot at the NXT Women's Championship. What's also notable is the first time she faced Nia Jax - which was pretty much a SquashMatch. Months later they were in a #1 contenders' match together - and Carmella came close to beating Nia several times. This was ratcheted UpToEleven on the main roster, where she was able to dominate Nikki Bella for most of their first match together.

* TheCheerleader: Was one before getting into wrestling.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Bayley. Their friendship didn't even waver when Carmella became the top contender to Bayley's title, and they remained best buddies after Bayley beat Carmella.

* MulticoloredHair: Honey blonde mixed with brown, originally. Now she's completely blonde.

!! Tropedici

* PickedLast: Part of her early storylines in [=SmackDown=] revolved around her having to prove herself after having been the last pick in the WWE Draft. (She still had it better than Wrestling/HeathSlater, who went undrafted.)

As usual, Wiki/ThatOtherWiki has a nice [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmella_(wrestler) bio page]] for her if you want more info.

!! F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S Tropes

* TheArtifact: Her theme is still a knock off of "Fancy" even years after Iggy Azalea's career burned out.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: When she debuted, her hair was a mix of brown and blonde. It became fully blonde around the time she sided with Enzo and Cass against Blake and Murphy.
** In September 2018, Carmella dyed her hair auburn around the time she lost her Women's Championship.

[[caption-width-right:350: The Moon-walking, Trash-talking Princess of Staten Island. Capiche?]]

* CatchPhrase: "Bada bing, hottest chick in the ring". (Adapted, of course, from Enzo's "Bada boom! Realest guys in the room!") As a heel, she has adapted her own original catchphrase of "Mella is money".

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Her nickname was originally the ''Queen'' of Staten Island. Presumably this trope was the reason she later chose to go by 'Princess' instead.

** Also, her friendship with [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]], who is a [[IntergenerationalFriendship significantly older]] [[SaltAndPepper black]] [[PlatonicLifePartner man]] whose personality tends toward the... well, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} eccentric.]]

* AmazonianBeauty: Not in the usual sense of being big, as she's quite slender. But she is very toned and has great abs. See ClarkKentOutfit below. WWE.com even [[http://www.wwe.com/gallery/25-best-abs-in-wwe-history-photos#fid-40188028 named her]] number 23 for top 25 best abs in WWE history, ahead of male Superstars Wrestling/{{Goldberg}} and Wrestling/AntonioCesaro.

* TheStoolPigeon: Actually played this role during her feud with Nikki Bella. Nikki was attacked back stage and (understandably) spent the whole time thinking that Carmella did it. Despite her want to continue her beef with Nikki even after losing a No-DQ match, for no real reason other than apparently ForTheLulz, she sold out Nikki's real attacker: Natalya. Natalya, annoyed that Carmella just broke down all the work Nattie put into trying to convince Nikki that it wasn't her, promptly gave Carmella the title of "Little Staten Island Snitch."

** In September 2018, Carmella dyed her hair brunette.
