* BewareTheNiceOnes: Despite her pleasant voice and upbeat mannerisms, she has a bit of a nasty streak, blithely calling Jeannie an asshole when she sasses her.
* MinnesotaNice: She has a chipper demeanor and speaks with a sweet, upper Midwestern accent.
* NervousWreck: When pushed into confrontation, she becomes this, being unable to handle a telephone conversation with Sloane's irate father (really Cameron pretending to be him).
* UndyingLoyalty: To Ed, who he also respects in return (and may be the lone character in the film he's not an absolute jerk to).

Well, there is taking the car, probably being an accomplice in its destruction, hacking the school database, pretending to be someone else to eat at the Chez (and I think ducking out without paying) and I don't know if the "Twist and Shout" scene counts as trespassing. Most of them would probably be misdemeanors.

* KnightTemplar: Since schools need the best attendance possible out of their students to get proper funding, one can argue that Rooney [[JustFollowingOrders is just doing his job]] enforcing the rules against truancy. His problem is that he takes things much too far, committing a fair few offenses himself out of what is ultimately as much about personal {{revenge}} as it is about concern for the betterment of the school.
Added DiffLines:
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: As devoted as he is to enforcing the rules, he has little interest in actually following them; not only does he abandon his post in the middle of the day to track down a kid who actually has an excused absence from his parents, but he trespasses on the Bueller family's property, breaks into their house and knocks out their dog just to get his hands on Ferris.
