* BerserkButton: Do not betray Amber or throw her under the bus in any way. She will go off and she does have a temper when provoked. This was seen when she found out that Eric sold her out and betrayed her by telling everyone about stuff from her dark past to use against her.

* EtTuBrute: Did not take it well when she found out that Eric had backstabbed her and threw her under the bus to the rest of the house.

[[/folder]]

* ActionDad: Although Daniele won a lot of competitions, Dick had the best game over all competitively and strategically.

* ManipulativeBitch: Daniele could be very manipulative and cunning when she wanted to be.
