** It helps that her classmates know she's the only girl of eight children, and they can understand WHY she's the way she is if she hangs around with seven brothers all the time.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Bill and Clarissa, who formed a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship by the end of ''Upper Fourth''. Bill is very boyish and could easily be mistaken for a guy if not for her uniform. Clarissa, while not explicitly stated to be feminine (particularly since she's as much a horse lover as Bill is), is much more dainty than her friend.

* TookALevelInJerkass: The popular girls (Darrell, Sally, Irene, Belinda, Alicia etc.) in the fifth book. They aren't willing to give Maureen a chance, constantly making fun of her by telling her sarcastic compliments. They also tease Gwendoline more than she does to them! In their interactions with outcasts (though these outcasts aren't exactly the nicest people around) they act more cocky compared to the other books.
