* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Stefani is introduced pitching the concept of [=GirlCroosh=] to Diane in a seemingly reasonable tone....only for her to backpedal with a {{dissimile}} and start peppering her speech in a DerailedTrainOfThought filled with BuffySpeak, NewSpeak and a complete failure to use even LaymansTerms.

* InnocentBigot: Just like the rest of her family, Stefani is pretty nonplussed about participating in the cat-hating "Squeakivus" festival and singing the feline dissing song in front of Princess Carolyn, even though she had been quite nice to her during the ride to the Stilton manor.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Just like her brother Ralph, she doesn't seem to realize her family's anti-cat tendencies when Princess Carolyn comes to visit.

* {{Foil}}: To [[Characters/BojackHorsemanDianeNguyen Diane Nguyen]] herself. Both are involved in feminism (sort of), both have strong beliefs (which they're willing to sacrifice for fame), but different mindsets (Diane genuinely believes her drive to support women comes form a genuine passion and desire for change while Stefani is cynical enough to know it's just another demographic to exploit and its importance is just based on how important it makes them feel). Furthermore, Stefani is an embodiment of what some could call corporate feminism, in that she supports the amoral Creator/JessicaBiel for Governor of California, only under the grounds that she can write about a female governor alongside gassing cockroach workers that tried to unionize. Meanwhile, Diane is thrown against numerous issues women face physically and emotionally, especially with the intersection of their class and race.

* AllWorkVsAllPlay: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Both are professionals in their fields, but it soon becomes clear that for Ralph, work is a passion without any need to gain something from it. He's rich but doesn't feel comfortable getting money for doing nothing, so he makes up for it by having his own greeting card company. PC, on the other paw, has had to work out of necessity and climbed the Hollywoo ladder through sweat and tears, becoming a professional agent/manager without anyone's help. This calm (Ralph) and stressed (PC) combination takes its natural course: [[spoiler:Ralph, for all of his best intentions, doesn't understand why she can't switch from having a baby to adopting easily and PC, as much as she's suffering, doesn't register why it'd so easy for him to assume she can just adopt.]]

She provides brand new equipment for each employee (computer, space for personal effects), no walls and open space for everyone to roam through the building, yoga salons, relaxing areas, promotion of good behavior and flexible hours for everyone to complete their articles all in order to encourage and increase each employee's productivity. This also goes hand in hand with cultivating a more relaxed, personal approach with each one of her subordinates: small talks, brainstorm meetings, positive criticism, knowing them regarding intimate matters and establishing a friendly rapport. All as long as they work. Subtly {{deconstructed|Trope}} for as much as Stefani portrays herself as the greatest boss – and has credit to that image – she's still willing to exploit her social expertise to feed her staff in their egos, the better to discard any moral quandaries and write what will benefit the company, with at least some of her geniality coming off as self-interested and PR-obsessed at worst. Oh, and not to mention [[BadBoss having her cockroach employees exterminated]].

Emotions meddle in different ways: Ana messes around in a pseudo-romantic affair with [=BoJack=] and Stefani tentatively empowers Diane through a flimsy friendship. Ultimately, Ana couldn't deal with the unpredictable whirlwind of [=BoJack=]'s life and left while Stefani is more capable of keeping Diane in line.
** To [[InsufferableGenius Mia [=McKibben=]]], with the Stanford graduate being a JuniorCounterpart of Stefani.

** To [[PointyHairedBoss Wanda Pierce]]. Both have similar issues with Diane and Mr. PB (Wanda, being Head of Programming at MBN, sought to keep a controversial figure in her roster, Hank Hippopopalous, in spite of Diane's accusations of the man, using Mr. Peanutbutter as leverage since he worked there as well; Stefani wanted Diane to write about the juiciest parts of Mr. PB's failure of a campaign), are related in a way to some of the main characters (Stefani is PC's boyfriend Ralph's sister; Wanda dated [=BoJack=] and was Mr. Peanutbutter's boss) and are morally compromised.

** To [[CrookedContractor Katrina Peanutbutter]]: Same ambition and lack of scruples. Katrina would put Mr. Peanutbutter down at every opportunity when they were married and upon her return, dedicated herself to meddling around his marriage with Diane, much to the latter's misery. Stefani seeks to boost Diane's ego to turn her against PB. In a way, their conjoined actions led to both pitting against each other and breaking up, all for their own selfish purposes. To add to the comparison, Katrina is somewhat honest about her disdain for her ex-husband and murky reasons for him to win; Stefani is to some degree dishonest to get Diane writing the kind the kind of articles she needs.

** To [[Characters/BojackHorsemanDianeNguyen Diane Nguyen]] herself. Both are involved in feminism (sort of), both have strong beliefs (which they're willing to sacrifice for fame), but different mindsets (Diane genuinely believes her drive to support women comes form a genuine passion and desire for change while Stefani is cynical enough to know it's just another demographic to exploit and its importance is just based on how important it makes them feel). Furthermore, Stefani is an embodiment of what some could call corporate feminism in that she supports the not so moral Jessica Biel for governer only under the grounds that she can write about a female governor alongside gassing roach workers that tried to unionize. Meanwhile, Diane is thrown against numerous issues women face physically and emotionally, especially with the intersection of their class and race.
