* BoisterousWeakling: If Taeler isn't able to entice, seduce, or otherwise confuse her opponent, she is generally not very tough, and is relatively easy to defeat. It's why the same wrestler who seemed to have an answer for the OVW powerhouse Epiphany seemed to spin her wheels against Heidi Lovelace and Jessie Belle. Why Sakai was the first to give her trouble in ROH after Hendrix's reinvention and why Wrestling/KellyKlein quickly surpassed her as ROH's top woman wrestler.

* RightHandHottie: For Truth Martini or Jay Lethal as the general "hoopla hotties" were phased out. She isn't just for looking good though, as Martini wanted a HOT wrestler for every ROH division and 2015 brought one for WOH.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Her no-DQ match with Mandy Leon saw Taeler holding her arm while Mandy was looking to hit her with a chair. Mandy, being a Woman of Honor, backed down and made the mistake of turning her back, leading to Taeler hitting her in the stomach with a chair and hitting the Long Kiss Goodnight on a pile of chairs.

!! "Hail Hendrix' Tropes":
* AbsoluteCleavage: Just look at the picture.
* ArchEnemy:
** (in OVW): [[Wrestling/RubyRiott Heidi Lovelace]]
** (in ROH): Mandy Leon
* AscendedExtra: Originally called into ROH to hold over Wrestling/DaizeeHaze and Wrestling/SaraDelRey until the competition they desired could be found. She returned five years later in a much more prominent role.
* AscendedMeme: She's been compared to Tiara from ''Anime/ShamanicPrincess'' and Poison Ivy from ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}''. "Poison Princess" eventually became her official title.
* BattleStrip: Tends to lose her wrist bands in matches, usually voluntarily to use as projectiles or [[CombatPragmatist gags]].
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Beat the crap out of one of House of Truth leader Wrestling/TruthMartini's students when she visited his dojo when said student didn't shake her hand like the others did.
* EvilRedhead: Describes herself as "Gingerlicious and delicious" and wanted to see a complete HOT takeover of ROH.
* FieryRedhead: Besides the red hair, the most noticeable difference from her predecessor, Seleziya Sparx, is Hendrix's demeanor. Taeler's much less friendly, not at all tranquil when angry and has little time for subtlety.
* FinishingMove: Kiss Goodnight (Tombstone), Poison Pill(Coquina Clutch)
* GenreBlind: After her first pin fall loss to Sumie Sakai, Hendrix claimed to have studied her, but had she studied enough she'd have known Sakai was the ''one'' woman on ROH had at the time who wouldn't find the mind games Hendrix attempted to play on her creepy.
* GratuitousLatin
-->"Latin. The language of Love... I fight like a woman. Seduction is my weapon."
* IKnowKarate: Taekwondo is the reason she often doesn't hook her legs on moves like the Muta Lock, she wants to leave as many options to kick open as possible.
* {{Manipulative B|astard}}itch: Her storyline with Heidi Lovelace in OVW turned out to be Taeler using Heidi as a way to get back the OVW Women's Title. Heidi gave Taeler a TakeThatKiss when she realized Taeler was manipulating her.
* PowerStable: Truth Martini's The House of Truth in ROH.
* RedBaron: (formerly) Boston Bombshell, One Girl Revolution
* RightHandHottie: For Truth Martini or Jay Lethal as the general "hoopla hotties" were phased out. She isn't just for looking good though, as Martini wanted a HOT wrestler for every ROH division and 2015 brought one for WOH.
* RivalDojos: She's trained in OVW and came to ROH to face world traveled veterans. When she returned after further training in the HOT she wasn't pleased to find women fresh from the ROH academy waiting for her.
* SheFu: She frequently travels around the ring with cartwheels. Officials are divided about the legality of her split approach, which has often ended in [[GroinAttack a hapless crouch.]]
* UseYourHead: Poison Paradise. Despite extensively scouting her prior to the first Women Of Honor event she decide to use and [[HardHead felt it backfire]] on [[Wrestling/TheRiottSquad Crazy Mary Dobson]].
* TheVamp: Getting an early foothold in the WOH division was a factor but Martini hired her mainly to seduce the men opposed to the HOT. She's also not afraid to go after referees, and has even tried to seduce other women.
* VillainousBreakdown: Taeler's temper had only been seen in brief instances until she lost a match to Mandy Leon. Hendrix never really regained he composure after that, always being on the verge of outburst.
