* [[IdenticalGrandson Identical Granddaughter]]: She always bore a strong resemblance to Dorothy, and this was punctuated [[https://www.kevinandkell.com/2021/kk0609.html when her ears grew out]] in 2021. The main difference is that Dorothy was a brunette, while Coney is a blonde.

* MyBelovedSmother: Starts to fall into this behavior when she forbids Rudy from seeing Fiona during the coronavirus quarantine as if he's still a young teenager, despite the two of them being adults and clearly able to make their own decisions regarding who, when, and where they want to see anyone. She then seems to think the best solution is to have Fiona move in, with the rest of the family assigned ''chaperone duty''.

Added DiffLines:

* CatDogDichotomy: She fell into cat-dog stereotypes as a pup, prone to chasing cats up trees; something even Rudy didn't do in the current timeline of the strip. This includes making amends with Aby for having done that to her once. A RedHerring for this came when Sheila revealed she once did this to Frank and played it off on Kell, resulting in their early rivalry at Herd Thinners. Even today, she would occasionally fall into old stereotypes; when Marty suggested Rhonda--without a second thought--[[https://kevinandkell.com/2016/kk0530.html as a young employee worthy of leadership training]] at Dewclaw's Fine Meats, Kell initially questioned whether she was capable of being a leader due to feline stereotyping before immediately stopping herself.

* ComingOfAgeStory: Undergoing a (slightly belated) one at the age of twenty-two during the coronavirus arc, where he has to decide whether or not to keep obeying his mother Kell, who has been the Alpha his whole life, or decide to strike out with Fiona now that they're young adults and can make their own decisions in life. Some fans felt this might result in a conflict between Kell and Rudy, or even Kell and Fiona. But instead, Rudy and Fiona proved their ability at adulting when they worked together to identify rot that had endangered the Dewclaw Tree. This permitted Kell to trust them enough to allow them stay together alone while the Tree was being repaired.

** This came together in the arc where Rudy saved the Dewclaw Tree. He and Fiona located a major branch that was about to break off due to rot. He was able to secure it enough (with some quick-thinking assistance from Bruno and Corrie) so it was repairable.

* TheMaidenNameDebate: Kept her last name after marrying Fenton. The generally accepted hand-wave is that she was already a published researcher at that point. She did give Fenton's last name to Turvy, though. (It should also be noted she took Kell's last name, along with Kevin, when they got married, implying that Kell adopted her as her stepdaughter.)
