* AdaptationalJerkass: While Spooky in the original comics and shorts was also a prankster with a love for scaring, he was on friendly terms with Casper, often acting like a mischievous younger brother that Casper would need to help keep in control. Here, Spooky is Casper's school bully, bordering on being TheRival, with Spooky picking on Casper specifically because he doesn't like to scare people.
* TheBully: To Casper, anyways.
* IdenticalStranger: Since they're never explicitly stated to be cousins in this show (unlike all of Spooky's other appearances), he and Casper come off as this.

This doesn't prevent him from being abused by Stretch and Stinky whenever he annoys them with it however.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Whilst Casper doesn't ''like'' to be scary, he is still a ghost and he does live with the Ghostly Trio, so when push comes to shove, he can be surprisingly terrifying when he has to be.

* LIsForDyslexia: It's established in one episode that Stretch suffers from "ghostlexia", a dyslexia-inspired learning disability that impeded his efforts in haunting school so much that he never officially graduated -- which, considering that Stinky and ''Fatso'' graduated, gives some indication of how bad it was. He notes that this was in the days before the disability was formally recognized, so ghosts like himself were just considered "stupid" and "lazy". Despite this handicap, Stretch went on to become a very successful haunter, to the extent that his old teacher apologizes to him for misunderstanding him and gives him an honorary [=PHD=].
* {{Gasshole}}: Stinky is constantly burping.

In an episode revolving around a school spooking contest, she ''wins'' because she paid attention to the judge's video-lecture before the contest, in which he both revealed the simple maxim of spooking (study your victim, learn their fears, exploit them) and his own fear of fire.

There's arguments to be made for a franchise wide character page, but there's enough unique about this take that I felt a series page was warranted.
