* LazyBum: As part of her [[SpoiledBrat spoiled]] nature, Chihiro is indolent at first--even though she's a child, it's clear that she hasn't done chores or anything resembling labor before. After Chihiro stumbles through her first shift in the bathhouse, Lin correctly guesses that she's never worked a single day in her life. Her time in the spirit world helps her [[CharacterDevelopment grow out of it]], and she ends the film unafraid of hard work if it means helping others.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: She won't go back on her oaths, which is why she gives Chihiro a job to begin with, since she had previously sworn to give a job to anyone who asked for one (an oath she regrets taking because it forces her to be so-called "nice" all the time). Even if a customer like No Face can produce endless gold, Yubaba is more than willing to get physical with unruly customers rather than have her workers fight in her place.

** For all of her negative qualities, Yubaba ''does'' genuinely respect hard work. Though she at first mocks Chihiro's efforts to help the Stink Spirit, she ends up legimiately impressed by the girl's tenacity and courage. After the Stink Spirit is cleansed, Yubaba hugs Chihiro in glee, pays her a sincere compliment, and tells all of the employees that they should take a leaf from Chihiro's book. It's doubly impressive considering that Chihiro is a human, and Yubaba makes no secret of her disdain for that group.

* ButtMonkey: The Spirit World's FantasticRacism towards humans sets Chihiro up for some comic relief in the first half of ''Spirited Away''. During her first day at the bathhouse, Chihiro gets dragged along by the other workers, gets assigned to the big tub where she often slip and fall, has to deal with the river spirit who is covered in sludge, and finally having to force her way into washing him by adding more water but not before falling into the mud after yanking the rope.
