* LovingAShadow: While Tracy loves her mum, she hasn't seen her since she was five and thus doesn't really ''know'' her. Her dream of going to live with Carly is more out of her desire [[IJustWantToBeLoved to have her own home and a parent of her own]] rather than out of any sort of bond with her mother. Eventually Tracy herself realises this.

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Tracy is very much a hot-blooded, scruffy tomboy who enjoys football and gets on better with boys than girls.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''The Story of Tracy Beaker'' reads very much like a diary, with no numbered chapters, illustrations deliberately set up to look like Tracy has drawn them herself and even a page devoted to Tracy and Peter playing games like hangman and noughts and crosses. ''The Dare Game'' though doesn't have any of these touches, with even the illustrations seeming more polished and less like a child's doodles.
