* DamselScrappy: Rachel and Mona (though Rachel is also this by virtue of being a loud, bratty JerkAss). Elaine at first, but she [[TookALevelInBadass got over it]]. Subverted with Mazikeen.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The new comic series undoes a ''lot'' from the old one, [[spoiler:including turning the BittersweetEnding into a StatusQuoIsGod sort of middle.]] This has drawn quite a few complaints.

Who is Cestis and how is that person an example of Alas Poor Villain? One trope per example. "Everyone" is not an example.

* TooDumbToLive: Sherri and, to a (slightly) lesser extent, Ewan from Volume 2, both of whom are not only stupid enough to climb the large, mysterious building, but also ''break into'' it (with Sherri fully believing she's "invited" due to simply having a sixth sense). The building, of course, turns out to belong to Lucifer, and it works out for them about as well as one might expect.

Others see it as showing Lucifer is so pathologically immature he can't stand to be around ''anyone'' now since contact with other people makes you dependent on them.

There is no indication in canon that Elaine is anything but heterosexual. Even the fandom Crack Fics over the years shipped her with anyone *but* Mona.


** Elaine and Mona. Perhaps Elaine's greatest tragedy (and that's saying something) is that [[spoiler:while she matures mentally after her death, the woman she would otherwise probably have found lifelong love with retains the mentality of a 12-year-old]].
*** Except that by the end of the series, Elaine has obtained [[spoiler:the power of God]] which meant she could probably resolve that situation to whatever would fit their mutual satisfaction.
