* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Often gets "amiably drunk". Hers and Joel's breakup is prompted by her driving home from a party drunk and damaging Joel's car.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Subverted and thoroughly deconstructed. As a DeconstructedCharacterArchetype, she shows what happens once the novelty of this trope wears off and the meaning of the term becomes apparent, exhibiting that common elements of the trope would break down when applied to reality.
--> "Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours."
** It's usually inexplicable that the free-spirited girl would be so interested in the quiet, reserved guy in the first place. At the beginning of the movie, it seems like Clementine is fascinated by Joel for no reason, [[spoiler:but it's actually that her subconscious is influencing her with the forgotten remnants of her feelings for him when they were together.]]
** Even during their real first meeting, Clementine quickly gets bored with him. Clearly, unlike the usual MPDG, who's providing comfort to the brooding hero without demanding anything in return, Clementine is shown to be "high maintenance", which Joel struggles to provide.
* KaleidoscopeHair: Frequently re-dyes her hair.
* NonconformistDyedHair: She is the emotional, extraverted ex-girlfriend to everyman protagonist Joel, who is not over their breakup. The multiple hair colors she sports over the course of the film solidify her as a memorable, if unstable, young woman.
* RedOniBlueOni: The extrovert counter to introvert Joel.

* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Gets drunk and smokes pot with Patrick while at work.
* NotSoSmallRole: It seems odd that Creator/KirstenDunst has such a small part as the receptionist at Lacuna Inc. [[spoiler:It turns out she had an affair with Howard and had her memories erased too. And it's her who sends everyone their tapes to get their memories back]].
