* {{Applicability}}: Along with Madison of ''Film/{{Splash}}'' and Ariel of ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'', Aquamarine is a mermaid character whose behavior could parallel someone on the autism spectrum. She's extremely knowledgeable about specific things (in this case mermaid culture), but needs to be coached on how to act like a 'normal' teenager. And sometimes, when she attempts to copy behavior she sees others doing, she embarrasses herself by coming across as unnatural (as autistic individuals often try to 'mask' by imitating neurotypical people). At first, she has no problem walking around naked or dressing unconventionally (and she still wears starfish as earrings). She's also extremely empathic and caring, declaring Claire and Hailey her best friends after only knowing them three days, and bonds quickly with everyone she meets.
Added DiffLines:
** It's also amusing to see Emma Roberts being bullied by an AlphaBitch, considering in TheNewTens she'd get typecast playing them herself (including the aforementioned ''Scream Queens'').
Added DiffLines:
* MemeticPsychopath: Leonard is often assumed to have ill intentions from viewers, as his wish is [[spoiler: getting together with a woman he fancies]].

** Claire nearly being thrown in the pool at the teen party. Remember that the reason she doesn't want to go in the water is because her parents drowned. The poor girl runs off in tears; a sad reminder that KidsAreCruel.
** Aqua talking about how she saw a human couple in a paddle boat and that's what first told her about love. Claire realises she's talking about her parents.
** Hailey's HeelRealization, where she finally understands how hard her mother has worked for the move to Australia, and what she'd be forcing her to give up if she used her wish to make her stay.
** For that matter, Hailey's sadness at having to move in the first place. When her mother asks about Aqua, Hailey just fires back that she's another friend she'll have to say goodbye to very soon.
** Aquamarine asking Raymond if he loves her. [[spoiler: He says no because he barely knows her, and she's reduced to tears]].
