* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Paprika, not only having the textbook personality, but also being one [[DreamWalker quite literally, too]]. In-Universe, this is most probably deliberate on Chiba's part (who herself absolutely averts the trope), since her work as a psychiatrist is helping people move on from past trauma.
* SexierAlterEgo: Chiba and Paprika have near identical builds, but Paprika is friendlier, bubblier, and much, much flirtier.
* SecretIdentity: Straight-laced institute researcher by day, bubbly rogue psychiatrist by night.
