* {{Pride}}: Hinted at and finally admitted to. Mary admits to Laura that she was always proud of being the better and prettier sister and her ProperLady as a kid was occasionally an act to make herself feel superior to Laura.

** When the girls have been prepared for and accepted the inevitability of a Christmas without Santa Claus, Ma makes a big deal of hanging up their stockings anyway, just in case he somehow comes through after all. Laura overhears what the reader recognizes as Ma brainstorming last-minute solutions for filling the stockings, but they're still empty on Christmas morning. If Mr. Edwards hadn't surprised everyone by showing up unannounced with tin cups, peppermint sticks, cakes, and pennies from Santa Claus, Pa would be right that the disappointment was only the worse for adding false hope at bedtime on Christmas Eve.

* SherlockScan: In ''The Long Winter'', as soon as he enters Royal's store he's immediately able to spot that the inside dimensions of the room don't match the outside dimensions and deduce where the missing space is, and figures out that said space is hiding wheat based on previously having seen a plugged knothole in the wall.



** Before this, in ''The Long Winter'', Ma surprised and scared Pa and the rest of the family when she point-blank refused to let him look for the rumoured wheat. This scene describes Ma looking "terrible" which might imply that she possesses a DeathGlare.

* TookALevelInBadass: The highlight of "The Long Winter". Although he and his brother were comfortable and well stocked-up in their provisions to last them throughout the winter, Almanzo made it his mission to look for a stock of wheat grain to feed the town after noting Charles "Pa" Ingalls' emaciated appearance and realized that there might have been more people starving. Note that they took this mission on a simple basis of a rumour that there might have been wheat supplies somewhere.

* EmbarrassingFirstName: Not at first, but when she was a child, she caught head lice from another girl at school, and the other children took to calling her "Lazy, lousy, Lizzie Jane". Possibly why she went by E.J. as an adult

* MisplacedKindergartenTeacher: Her attempt to teach the De Smet school are an unmitigated disaster: she goes for a sweet approach with a bunch of hard-working frontier kids (which ends exactly as well as you'd expect), [[WhatAnIdiot listens unquestioningly]] to the gossip of one of her students (and doesn't bother to verify any of it), [[MisplacedRetribution abuses]] Carrie to punish Laura's perceived faults while trying to stay sweet as pie to the other students... it's no wonder she only managed one term.

* EducationMama: Ma highly values education. She was a schoolteacher before she married Pa, and it's largely thanks to her efforts that Laura and Mary are consistently at the top of their class whenever they have the chance to attend school, The driving factor that made her convince Charles to settle in Dakota was that she wanted her daughters to receive a proper education.
