11	The channel is best known for dodie's covers and original music, which [[SignatureStyle regularly]] feature a juxtaposition of light, quiet melodies and complex and heavy lyrics. She released her first original song, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFEpLCovU40 Rain]]", in 2011 after writing it two years prior. Her debut EP ''Intertwined'' followed in 2016.

24	!! Tropes intertwined with dodie:
25	* ACappella: Many of dodie's songs have a cappella and instrumentation all mixed together. More precisely, dodie [[SelfBackingVocalist a cappellas with herself]].
26	* AlbumClosure: Many of the tracks on ''Human'' are upbeat songs contrasting a journey of difficult self-discovery. "Burned Out" sounds exactly as worn-down and beaten as the lyrics, literally ending the album on "I might just leave soon."
27	* AllLowercaseLetters: How dodie tends to title many of her videos, as well as format her channel names.
28	* AscendedFangirl: She [=FaceTimed=] her idol, Music/DemiLovato, and freaked out all the while.
29	* ColorMotif: Her favorite color is yellow (namely the special shade of "dodie yellow"), and it reflects heavily in her clothing and album art.
30	%%* ConceptVideo: For "If I'm Being Honest" and "Sick Of Losing Soulmates".
31	* CuteClumsyGirl: She tripped and fell [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azOh7J2hdqo while going up to accept a Shorty Award]].
32	* EverythingIsAnInstrument: Dodie's songs frequently make rhythms out of rubbing hands, snapping fingers, and hitting or shaking random objects.
33	* GainingConfidenceSong: "An Awkward Duet", the crossover between her and WebVideo/{{Paint}}, is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin- an awkward, uncomfortable duet between two nervous singers, singing about how nervous they are to sing. Toward the end, they start to get into the song and proudly claim that they both sound pretty good...until dodie goes for a bold, unscripted bit that stops Jon's singing. The duet returns to being awkward as a result.
34	* HopelessSuitor: "She" suggests the person the narrator has fallen in love with and is pining after feels nothing back, possibly due to IncompatibleOrientation.
35	--> And I'll be okay, admiring from afar
36	--> Cause even when she's next to me, we could not be more far apart
37	--> Cause she tastes like birthday cake and story time and fall
38	--> But to her, I taste of nothing at all
39	* KissingUnderTheInfluence: "Got Weird" is about a kiss that made the narrator panic:
40	--> I got weird when we made out
41	--> What a God damn kiss to think about
42	--> Poured a drink all over my wiring
43	--> Short a fuse, all cylinders firing
44	* MinisculeRocking: ''Build a Problem'' opener "Air So Sweet" is only just over a minute-long.
45	* OneWordTitle: The titles of the albums ''You'', ''Intertwined'' and ''Human''.
46	* PlainJane: The narrator of "6/10" asks if there is "pity for the plain girl".
47	* PurelyAestheticGlasses: [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CFzztQ1hz_j Worn]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CAgCfdzBRGN more]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CKRlm6xBCIz pairs]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BLorjfFgkex than]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/aHB2T_tGSI many]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BOhfNl0gQ1d that]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BSPmvABAYTT need]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/u5nTAUtGYq them]].
48	* QuirkyUkulele: While she plays other instruments such as guitar and piano, ukuleles are arguably her signature, having played them throughout her career, including on tour.
49	* SelfBackingVocalist: "Sick of Losing Soulmates" has a chorus of dodies lamenting "What the hell would I be" and "Hide the truth" rather than her usual layered harmonies.
50	* SelfProclaimedLoveInterest: The narrator of "Would You Be So Kind?" quietly wishes her crush would fall in love with her.
51	* StatuesqueStunner: Would you believe that the seemingly small and sweet Dodie is actually 5ft8.5ins? (It helps that she has a lot of rather tall Youtube friends that dwarf her by comparison!)
