* BetaBitch: Anne is {{implied}} to have been this to AlphaBitch Sasha, having been friends who defended each other from bullies for most of their childhood, and Anne would always go along with all of Sasha schemes and never stand up to her. This dynamic ended at the end of season 1, with [[spoiler:Anne challenging her to a duel]]. The effects of the relationship, though, wouldn't be fully resolved until the end of the series, since Anne - unlike Sasha and Marcy - had no clear identity of herself or goals in life other than as their friend.

* TheConscience: Zig-zagged. Depending on the plot, Anne will either be the voice of reason for Sprig and other characters (along with Polly at times), or Sprig will be playing the role as TheConscience for Anne.

* EasilyForgiven: Subverted but also Downplayed. Hop Pop isn't a malevolent frog-person by any means, [[spoiler:but he did lie to Anne, stealing her music box and burying it in his backyard. As expected, when Anne finds this out she isn't happy and almost leaves the Plantar household, only forgiving Hop Pop when he explains why he did what he did. However, whether it was because Anne hadn't fully worked through her fresh trust issues with Hop Pop, or because [[InnocentlyInsensitive Sprig accidentally reopened her wounds]], Anne admits that she felt like she was too hasty in forgiving Hop Pop and tells him he needs time to truly forgive.]]

* TookALevelInDumbass: While dumbass maybe a strong word. In Season 3A, The Plantars went from taking things carefully and being cautious about their surroundings, to carelessly getting themselves in trouble and can barely walk a few steps without hurting themselves. They also suffer AesopAmnesia throughout the Earth arc, as they often learn to be careful when going out in public only to completely disregard this message by the next episode.

* SatelliteCharacter: After befriending Polly and being accepted into the Plantar family, he doesn't really do much on his own except follow them around and only ever uses his robotic capabilities whenever the plot needs it.

* GutFeeling: Sprig has the intuition to know when something is off, and his intuition usually checks out. In "Best Fronds," he can tell something is not quite right about the lake. In "Combat Camp", Sprig has a sinking feeling that the "test" is a real heist, but Anne, being Anne, ends up convincing him otherwise. In "Reunion", Sprig finds it unusual that the toads are being friendly towards the frogs, and he ends up being right about it being a ruse to kidnap them. [[spoiler: In "Marcy at the Gates", he's suspicious of Marcy in part because of the encounter with Sasha and her turning out to be 'evil' in his words, worried that the same could be true of Anne's other friend. Despite Marcy being complicit in pushing Anne to steal the Calamity Box, the end of the episode seems to prove him wrong, as Marcy turns out to be a CuteClumsyGirl whose only problem is not paying enough attention to things around her and causing accidents. However, "True Colours" reveals that he was RightForTheWrongReasons, as whilst Marcy is a NiceGirl most of the time, she's revealed to have known about the Calamity Box's dimensional properties in advance, and tricked Anne and Sasha into shoplifting it and then using it so they could have adventures together and [[HatesBeingAlone never be separated]] [[ATragedyOfImpulsiveness in a poorly thought-out plan]], meaning that while she's still nowhere near as bad as he feared and certainly no Sasha, she's not quite as innocent as she seemed]].

* GoodAllAlong: When he first appears, and later throughout the second season, he comes across as an intimidating robot tracking down Anne and the Plantars, even if he doesn't seem particularly good at it at points. Then comes "Friend of Frobo?", where he finally catches up to them at Wartwood and... turns out to be quite docile upon meeting Polly.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: His chassis is brown, seemingly setting him up as an enemy, but he turns out to be friendly. [[spoiler:This is contrasted by Andrias's Frobots, which are black with red eyes. After getting rebuilt by Polly, he has a magenta color scheme matching hers.]]

* TimeShiftedActor: In series, Anne is voiced by two different actors during the different stages of her life. She's voiced by Kai Zen as a child, and Brenda Song as both a teenager and adult



* {{Irony}}: Of the cosmic variety. Back on Earth, Anne absolutely ''hated'' frogs, and her skipping out on a frog dissection assignment with Sasha was the reason they ended up in Amphibia in the first place. This is part of the reason Sasha is so surprised when Anne chooses to stand up for the Plantars and refuses to give Hop Pop up for a chance at going back home.[[spoiler: Anne starts the series absolutely loathing frogs, and ends it as a herpetologist with a genuine love for them.]]

* IKnowMaddenKombat: Prior to her getting sword training from Tritonio, Anne tended to favor using a tennis racket she had in her bag when she was transported to Amphibia as a melee weapon, it being the closest thing she had to a usable weapon and had experience in using. Following said training, Anne has also started using [[HeroesPreferSwords swords]] in direct combat as well, notably dual-wielding both weapons in "Handy Anne" to take out the combined Veggie Monster. Curiously, despite Tritonio gifting her a CoolSword, which Anne is depicted prominently using in her brief sword fight with Sasha in the updated season 2 intro, Anne instead is shown to use scavenged swords from her enemies whenever she's forced into fights afterwards, despite presumably having kept the weapon following Tritonio's arrest.[[spoiler: During the climax of the finale, she conjures up a giant HardLight tennis racket and appropriately-sized tennis ball to wipe out Core forces.]]
