3	Her [[LetsPlay LPs]] range from gameplay {{walkthrough}}s, to blind playthroughs, to general silliness. Her commentary style blends a sweet and friendly delivery with calling out the game for its flawed logic and cursing at thing that go wrong.

43	----
44	!!Shows examples of the following tropes:
45
46	* HundredPercentCompletion: Tries to be as thorough as possible at completing every quest and getting every treasure, spell, ending, etc.
47	* BerserkButton: Broken video game logic, including but not limited to characters acting incompetent for the sake of the plot. Badly designed game mechanics are up there as well.
48	* BigNo: A few times when [[EpicFail failure]] is eminent.
49	* BigYes: In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames Oracle of Seasons]]'', after getting a [[HeartContainer Heart Piece]] in her first encounter with [[CuteWitch Maple]], complete with AtomicFBomb.
50	* BonusMaterial: Her LP for [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokemon Blue]] features a bonus episode for outtakes, ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' has them for alternate endings, and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears'' has them to show all the different character dialogue for the final tale.
51	* CallingYourBathroomBreaks: Episode 8 of ''Kings Quest III'' ends early with Takarifreak and LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}} declaring a mutual pee break
52	* CatchPhrase: [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny SHINY!]]
53	* ColbertBump: Somehow [[AvertedTrope averted]]. Despite having collaborated with LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}} (multiple times) and LetsPlay/{{NintendoCapriSun}}, and being RealLife friends with other big Youtube Let's Players, her viewer base is substantially smaller in comparison.
54	* ClusterFBomb: Usually following some kind of screw-up, by herself or one of the characters.
55	* CurbStompBattle: She defeated the Mist Dragon in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' (in a blind run, no less) before it had a chance to turn to mist and become invincible.
56	* CuteKitten: Her avatar is a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokeball]] with cat-ears and whiskers.
57	* CutenessProximity: In ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', she goes out her way to talk to [[CuteKitten Alfador]] at every chance, including chasing him around the Earthbound Village during the post-Zeal events.
58	* EasterEgg: In a [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI Zelda 1]] VS race, she [[GameMod hacked her ROM]] so that the [[Mook Moblin]] who gives away rupees says "It's a Secret to Every[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic pony]]"
59	* EpicFail: Usually left in for comedic effect
60	** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', while trying to [[TimedMission escape from Karnack Castle]], she reaches the exit with 10 seconds left, only to get into a random encounter before making it to safety.
61	** Lost the one-on-one [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Frog vs Magus battle]].
62	* FridgeLogic: Often [[AvertedTrope averted]]. She usually notices things that would be considered FridgeLogic at the time it happens and calls the game out for not making sense then and there.
63	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Her cat often decides to either misbehave or act cute during recording sessions.
64	* GoodBadBug: Her ''Pokemon Blue'' LP is a glitch run.
65	* GamerChick: One of many female {{Lets Play}}ers
66	* {{Gasshole}}: Nowhere near the level of LetsPlay/{{NintendoCapriSun}}, but she has been known to let off belch now and then.
67	* GenreSavvy: During her blind [=LPs=] of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', she has repeatedly predicted plot twists and story outcomes with uncanny accuracy.
68	* HeroicBSOD: She suffers one in her blind LP of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' when it's revealed that [[spoiler:Golbez is Cecil's brother]]
69	* HilariousOuttakes: In a [[BonusMaterial bonus episode]] for ''Pokemon Blue'', an attempt to pull off the long-range trainer glitch goes awry, ultimately crashing the game.
70	* KindHeartedCatLover: She's talked about her cat, and how she loves cats in general.
71	** In her [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]] [=LPs=], she gives Link the name CATS
72	* [[SirSwearsalot Lady Swears-a-lot]]: In older videos, it was rampant. More recently, she's taken to [[GoshDangItToHeck softening]] it ever so slightly and even [[SoundEffectBleep censoring]] the audio.
73	* LetsPlay: Duh!
74	* NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat: Used in ''King's Quest III'' after making fun of the evil wizard for having a flamboyantly purple bedroom, complete with hidden hand-mirror.
75	* PortmanteauCoupleName: Her username is a reference to the Takeru/Hikari [[{{Shipping}} pairing]] in Franchise/{{Digimon}}.
76	* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: In her ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' LP, she constantly defends [[SpoonyBard Edward]] against the usual criticisms.
77	* RunningGag: In her ''Pokemon Blue'' LP, every Pokemon she caught was named Pikachu.
78	* SelfDeprecation: Not afraid to insult herself for messing up. She will occasionally laugh at herself too, though.
79	* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: During blind [=LPs=], if someone dies during a boss fight, or she misses a treasure, she will go back and re-do areas off-screen between episodes to get items or [[ExperiencePoints EXP]].
80	* ShownTheirWork: She will take the time to explain complex gameplay mechanics when they become relevant, as well as stopping to present or explain certain theories during blind [=LPs=].
81	** She made a special demonstration video for farming Maple in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames Oracle of Seasons]]
82	** She wrote an essay on character analysis for ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV''
83	* SoundEffectBleep: Uses a sword-slash sound effect to censor herself in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV''
84	* SpecialGuest: Has had LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}} guest on many [=LPs=], and hosted a 4-way VS Race for [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI Zelda 1]] with LetsPlay/{{NintendoCapriSun}}, LetsPlay/{{PurpleRodri}} and LetsPlay/{{ArgonMatrix}}
85	* TheFaceless: [[ZigZaggingTrope Somewhat]], anyway. She has never been on camera for her own videos, but has appeared in other people's videos.
86	* TheNicknamer: Has taken to giving nicknames to many characters in recent [=LPs=], ranging from {{Punny Name}}s to {{Meaningful Name}}s
87	** Many in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' alone, Bartz is Seymour, Lenna is Pinky, Galuf is Gary Stu, & Krile is Bubbles, among others.
88	** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', she called Cagnazzo, Barbariccia, and Rubicante "Cat-butt face", "Rapunzel Barbie", and "Ruby Tuesday", respectively. [=FuSoYa=] earned the name [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Sarumon]]. The dwarves were called Viking Lawn Gnomes and King Giott himself was "Viking Santa".
89	* ToiletHumor: While not as much as [[LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun some]] [[LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}} other]] [=LPers=], it's there in small doses.
