* SmittenTeenageGirl: Act this way towards Brandon.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's somewhat bratty and kind of shallow but she is overall a sweet natured girl.

* Jerkass: She's rude, she's selfish, she's stuck-up and mean in every way.

* BeautyIsBad: She’s very attractive but is also a [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]], cruel AlphaBitch.

* CripplingTheCompetition: Very fond of doing this - [[HoistByHerOwnPetard not that it works.]] Both her attempt to keep Nikki out of the talent show and [[spoiler:the time she steals Nikki, Chloe and Zoey's skating costumes]] don't work as planned. [[spoiler:Locking her competition in a storage closet almost did, though...]]

* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Most of her plans to ruin Nikki end up backfiring on her. [[spoiler:The one time she does defeat Nikki in the talent show, the latter's band gets a record deal out of it.]] Also, her plan of publishing an embarrassing video of herself on the internet really bit her in the behind. This is because it made her a target of bullying at North Hampton Hills International Academy.

** Mackenzie not only steals Nikki's identity once, but ''twice''.

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.
