* RevengeMyopia: Spectra makes it clear that Valerie didn't care if Danny Phantom was evil or not or that he costed her her wealth and A-Lister status by accident, she just wanted someone to blame and take her anger out on because deep down she was still a bully looking to victimize someone just to make herself feel better.

* AllTakeAndNoGive: Spectra calls Valerie out on acting like a terrible partner to Danny while they were paired together during the school science project by bossing him around and pushing all the work onto him using her job as an excuse since it's not that much work and she was just looking for someone to boss around and look down on since she still saw herself as better than Danny despite being kicked out of the A-Listers.



* BadBoss: Spectra points out to Valerie that she was a VERY inconsiderate partner to Danny during the school science project by treating him like a lackey by bossing him around and shoving all the work onto him just because her job mattered more to her and she still saw herself as better than him since her expulsion from the A-Listers didn't make her any less cruel or arrogant.
* BerserkButton:
** Paulina does NOT like being reminded that Danny Phantom is dating Starlight Spirit.
** Sam hates being called "Samantha" as she makes clear to Bertrand.
** Colette cannot stand losing to the point her dad has to punish her for throwing a really loud tantrum in public when Valerie wins the beauty pageant.
* BrutalHonest:
** Chris makes it crystal clear to Paulina she doesn't have a chance with Danny Phantom especially since he already has Starlight Spirit as a girlfriend and winning a lousy beauty pageant isn't going to change that. He doesn't sugarcoat how pathetic Paulina is for being shallow enough to think that winning a single insignificant beauty pageant will make Danny Phantom believe she's better than his superhero girlfriend Starlight Spirit since he's not going to leave her for a girl like Paulina who isn't even in his league nor has gone on even a single date with him.
** Chris doesn't bother hiding his hatred for Colette and makes it clear she's a total brat.

* JerkassHasAPoint: During the beauty pageant, Chris calls Paulina out on her shallowness and delusions for believing that winning some lousy beauty pageant will make Danny Phantom think she's better for him than his actual girlfriend Starlight Spirit who is more in his league anyway since she's an actual hero and has probably gone on dates with him, unlike Paulina. Sam and Star don't say it out loud but they completely agree with him.
* KnightTemplar: Deconstructed with Valerie as Spectra makes it clear her hatred for ghosts is not an excuse to take it out on Danny Phantom (who only caused her misfortunes by accident) and Dani (who did nothing to her).
* LameComeback: After Chris delivers to Paulina a rather brutal yet accurate "The Reason You Suck" Speech all she can do is yell "You losers!" before angrily storming off.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop:
** Valerie didn't know that Casper High's former guidance counselor Penelope Spectra was a ghost making teens miserable on purpose so she can feed on it and steal their youth until Danny tells her.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14097564/1/Dressed Dressed]]'' is another sequel to ''[[Fanfic/DannyPhantomStranded "Stranded"]]''. Casper High is hosting another pageant.

!! Tropes:

* AloofAlly: In response to Tucker calling her Team Phantom's SixthRanger, Valerie says she's independent.
* AttackBackfire: Minor example but Colette spilling water on Star's painting makes it ''better'', since she was using watercolors.
* CatFight: [[spoiler: Colette and Paulina take out their frustrations over losing the pageant on each other in a fight.]]
* CrazyPrepared: Star plans ahead for Colette trying to sabotage her talent act by pretending to agree with her mom to dance instead of paint, knowing Colette will try to steal her routine. Star using watercolors also unintentionally foils Colette's attempt to ruin her work by spilling water on it.
* DarkHorseVictory: [[spoiler: Valerie's combat skills when fighting Spectra impress the judges, who crown her Miss Teen Amity Park.]]
* EasilyForgiven:
** When Star [[KickTheDog callously brings up Valerie's]] MissingMom over her increasing frustrations with the pageant, Valerie is upset but lets it go, knowing that Star is stressed out beyond belief right now and didn't really mean what she said. It also helps that Valerie realizes that something isn't quite right so she knows Star ''really'' isn't to blame for that.
** Star said some harsh things to her mother, father, and housekeeper due to the stress she was under while competing in the beauty pageant and [[spoiler:Spectra's]] brainwashing. When Stella apologized for putting too much pressure on her daughter, Star in turn apologized for what she said, admitting that she should never have let the stress get to her instead of talking to her mother; she also apologized to her father and housekeeper. Since Star made a genuine HeartfeltApology, and it was revealed that she and the other girls were brainwashed to be worse than they were, Star's family forgives her.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even Spectra is disgusted at Tucker when he mentions he "didn't bring anything that didn't involve getting numbers and finding girls' social media accounts".
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Like Star back in "Found", Spectra makes it clear in her ReasonYouSuckSpeech to Valerie that losing her money and status due to an honest mistake by Danny Phantom didn't justify her working with Vlad to hunt down and destroy him or Dani.
* GoldDigger: Mr. Strong's status as a successful lawyer is one of the things Spectra likes about him.
* HiddenDepths: It seems most of the characters have an interest in anime. Tucker's response to a giant Spectra is to shout the English translation of the first lyrics from the original ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' opening, Danny's mention of drills and shouting "One For All" suggests he's a fan of both ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' and ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', Star flat out says she loves ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' and Venus is her favorite character, Sam's comments on what she thinks is the best anime suggests it's ''Anime/KillLaKill'', while Spectra herself enjoys SliceOfLife and it seems her favorite is ''Manga/KOn'', gushing about who is obviously Mio un-ironically. While Valerie reminds everyone to remember what they're doing, she briefly mentions her favorite involves spaceships with arms, which suggests it's ''Manga/OutlawStar''.
* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Colette first tries to sabotage Star's painting act by dropping a sandbag to destroy her art supplies. However, she hits the wrong lever and a bag bursts in front of Colette instead, covering her with sand.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Sam and Tucker were apparently unaware of Valerie selling out Danielle to Vlad in "D-Stabilized" until Spectra called her out.
* MissingMom: The absence of Valerie's mother is acknowledged, with Star (briefly) and Spectra throwing it in her face and her father Damon wishing at the end she could've seen her daughter [[spoiler: win the pageant]]. Spectra implies Valerie's mother left her family, which is a sore spot for her.
* OhNoNotAgain: Bertrand yells, "No, not again!" when Danny sucks him into a Fenton Thermos.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Most girls at Casper High are still upset at Danny regarding his performance at the previous pageant.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** Between Stella's StageMom antics and Ms. Stone's "advice", Star finds herself so overwhelmed that she acts ''worse'' than when she was an A-Lister, doing things that she would '''never''' do under normal circumstances like snapping at her dad and Georgia.
** After Star's outburst towards her, Stella is so concerned over their relationship that she actually forgets Colette is competing in the pageant too. Johnathan muses he's not sure whether this is a good or bad thing.
* ShoutOut: The scene where Star becomes suspicious of Valerie is a mirror version of Robin's CompetitionFreak moment in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' episode "Winner Takes All" when he accused Cyborg of trying to trick him.
* SixthRanger: Tucker uses these words to describe Valerie's place in Team Phantom but she insists she's [[SubvertedTrope independent]].
* SkewedPriorities:
** When Spectra uses a device to make Valerie's battlesuit stop working, Tucker's main concern is that his [=PDA=] stopped working as well.
** Harriet is more concerned about [[ItsAllAboutMe her own job and safety]] than her fellow judges. They call her out for it.
* SoreLoser: [[spoiler:After Paulina and Colette both lose the pageant crown to Valerie and say they "should've worn white gold" at the same time, they proceed get into a [[{{Catfight}} physical brawl]] with each other.]]
* SpottingTheThread: Valerie realizes something is wrong after noticing how hostile all the girls are being to each other and Ms. Stone's "advice" is only riling everyone up even worse.
* StageMom: Stella becomes very obsessed and micromanaging whenever Star enters a pageant, due to being a former beauty queen herself.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: Spectra]] manipulates Sam, making her angrier than usual, into ruining the pageant by making some very "radical" schemes that are also hurtful.
* VillainHasAPoint: Penelope Spectra is a vain and selfish ghost who uses her skills as a psychologist to break kids emotionally to feed on their misery. However, during her fight with the heroes, she gives a long, justified [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech speech that Valerie Grey isn't as heroic as she thinks she is]]. While confronting her, Valerie protests that she is a good person who isn't trying to be evil, but Spectra tears her apart verbally when she correctly points out Valerie's past misdeeds such as her mistreatment of Danny in both identities, her petty feud with him, and how she had sold out Danielle to Vlad.
** While Valerie tries defending herself by insisting that Vlad had tricked her, Spectra retorts that torturing Danny and what she did to Danielle was inexcusable. Valerie tries to say that she didn't know that Dani was half-human, but Spectra fires back that ghost or not, it was not right to do such a thing to a child, regardless of what race they are, and it is hardly heroic at all, which even Tucker agrees with.
** Valerie feels guilty about this, but things get worse as Spectra continues to bring up her flaws and past actions, such as her mistreatment of Danny's human form and how she put all the work of their school project on him, using her job as an excuse to justify it. Spectra points out that work hours for teens are not that much and Valerie COULD have done more work, but she refused simply because she looked down on Danny and wanted someone to boss around.
** Spectra also points out how pointless and petty Valerie's grudge against Danny's ghost form was, and how she refused to see all the good he's done or listen to him when he explained it was just an accident, even though he tried to apologize to her.
** Finally, Spectra claims that Valerie didn't even care if Danny was evil or not, and was just using her vendetta as an excuse to lash out and take her frustrations out on someone. In Spectra's own words, despite no longer being a rich A-Lister, Valerie was STILL a SpoiledBrat and bully who wanted another target to bully and feel special while doing it.
** Valerie is horrified to hear all of this, and given that she received a similar accusation from Star in the past, she nearly breaks down emotionally out of guilt and shame. However, Star and the rest of Team Phantom [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre restore Valerie's self-worth and image]] by assuring her that while she had done bad things in the past, she has since learned the error of her ways and grown as a person, sincerely putting others before herself.
* VillainRespect: According to Spectra, nearly every ghost in the Ghost Zone respects Danny Phantom despite their grudge against him due to his powers and honorable actions.
* VillainsOutShopping: It seems when Spectra isn't causing misery and suffering, she watches SliceOfLife anime.
