* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Every character in these games has their own name, personality, and relationships (the command "Give Character A to Character B" will, in many cases, give a message describing how A feels about B). The episodic nature of the series means that any character could potentially get ADayInTheLimelight.

However, she does occasionally get bouts of self-loathing when things go wrong: for example, she irrationally blames herself for the escaped cow in Episode 2, but even in that case, she is quickly cheered up again by her CoolBigSis Wendy and regains her sunny disposition for the rest of the episode.

* LizardFolk: Reptilian humanoids are not an uncommon sight in Farnham. Although they look like reptiles externally, their anatomy is mostly the same as a human's, as is the case with the other types of animal humanoids, meaning that they have NonMammalianHair and [[NonMammalMammaries Mammaries]]. Notable examples include the natives who inhabit Glekutsu Village, and the Edison family. They're definitely examples of {{Lovable Lizard}}s rather than ReptilesAreAbhorrent (for example, the Edisons are {{expies}} of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the Apple family]]).
