* FatalFlaw: Pretty much the flaws any teenage girl would have. She is insecure about her appearance and attention she gets from the people around her. She is also shy, overdramatic, vulnerable, and quite sensitive about many things. She also has a tendency to believe that she doesn't need, or rather can't get, help or support from others so she spends a good majority of the books struggling alone.

* KarmaHoudini: Let's list some of the things she gets away with shall we?
** She sends Nikki a fake tuition fee, making Nikki think she'll be kicked out of the school if she doesn't pay it. This would get ''anyone'', rich or not, suspended or expelled. No one finds out about this and Nikki doesn't tell anyone.
** Mackenzie not only steals Nikki's identity once, but ''twice''. She gets away with the first one because Nikki's friend [[WhatAnIdiot guilt trips Nikki into not getting her arrested despite the fact that Mackenzie herself almost got Nikki and her friends arrested.]] Then she steals Nikki's persona as Miss-Know-It-All when she stole her diary, sending malicious and hurtful replies to the students who sent her the anonymous notes. She gets away with ''this'' one because Nikki feared that if she gave the diary to her school they'll read all the escapades Nikki and her friends had in the janitor's closet and spend the rest of their school time in detention since being caught in the janitor's closet is three day's detention.
