8	----
9	!! "Tropes And Pray":
10	* AssKicksYou: Her FinishingMove, a Belly to Back Piledriver (called the Scarlett's Letter in Wrestling/{{MLW}}), looks like she is sitting on her opponent. She's also been known to do this thing where she places her hands on the turnbuckle, grabs an opponent in an ankle scissor, and pulls them into her backside repeatedly.
11	* BattleCouple: With [[Wrestling/KillerKross Karrion "Killer" Kross]] on the independents. In WWE, they are more of an OutlawCouple as Karrion does all the work.
12	* BattleStrip: Has zero compulsions about stripping/taking off some of her clothes if it gains her a momentary advantage. Has even used her underwear as a weapon during matches, though this tends to backfire on her.
13	* TheCameo: She was one of Wrestling/AdamRose's "Rosebuds" on the December 15, 2014 ''Wrestling/{{WWE Raw}}''.
14	** Wrestling/NiaJax {{Squash\|Match}}ed her in 1:00 on the December 26, 2016 episode.
15	* ClothingDamage: At ''Best in the World 2013'', Wrestling/JayLethal ripped her shirt off, leaving her [[VaporWear topless]] in the middle of the ring.
16	* DistractedByTheSexy:
17	** Scarlett was not above kissing women at ringside during men's matches to cause a distraction when the wrong guy was winning. Davey Richards, Michael Elgin, and Mark Briscoe have all lost matches due to this in 2013.
18	** A RunningGag in every backstage segment in ''Wrestling/ImpactWrestling'' where wrestlers, referees, and writers are distracted by her presence.
19	** This has extended to NXT as well to a lesser degree, though her relationship to the terrifying Kross is another factor there.
20	* DoItYourselfThemeTune: She herself sings "Dead Silent", her and Karrion Kross's WWE theme.
21	* EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench: While Elizabeth Chihaia is of UsefulNotes/{{Romania}}n descent, her character's last name is ''Bordeaux'', after the known French port city.
22	* EvilRedhead: If the name wasn't enough of a clue, her hair usually comes in various shades of red. She's less likely to be red in her post House of Truth neutral ring announcer position.
23	** Averted in NXT, where she's opted for [[WhiteHairBlackHeart platinum blonde.]]
24	* {{Expy}}: Her gimmick of being an irresistible ShamelessFanserviceGirl has shades of Wrestling/{{Sable}}, Wrestling/TorrieWilson, and [[Wrestling/StacyCarter The Kat]].
25	* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Often employs a sensual arrogance when she wrestles other women, lingering somewhat suggestively when she pins them or picks them up by the head, as well as featuring various AssKicksYou moves. This goes back to her beginnings as a ShamelessFanserviceGirl, during which she wasn't averse to lesbian kissing as a tactic to distract her guys' opponents.
26	** She and Valerie Malone made out to distract Michael Elgin and Davey Richards after stopping them from finishing off Shane Hollister and Silas Young at ''AAW Chaos Theory'', January 23, 2013. While the match continued a few more minutes and the girls even turned on each other despite their guys being on the same team, Hollister and Young still won the match.
27	** She and Seleziya Sparx made out to distract Mark Briscoe during his match against [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/roh/roh-tv.html ROH World Television Champion]] Wrestling/MattTaven at ''ROH Border Wars 2013'', May 4, 2013. This distraction directly cost Briscoe the match, as he scared the girls off the apron only to be immediately pinned by Taven with a handful of tights.
28	* HiddenDepths:
29	** Impact Wrestling initially portrayed her as a ShamelessFanserviceGirl out to distract everyone with her sexiness for attention and power, before revealing that she was also enough of an ActionGirl to embarrass Wrestling/GlennGilbertti in a fight.
30	** Outside the ring, Bordeaux majored in musical theater in college and even had conservatory vocal training, ultimately resulting in her singing "Dead Silent" in WWE.
31	* {{The Host}}ess: Of Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}'s Website/YouTube series ''The Throwdown Lowdown'', after Wrestling/SaraDelRey left. This was her only role there, since she was not used as a wrestler.
32	* InLoveWithYourCarnage: During her time with Killer Kross in Wrestling/{{AAA}}, Kross bemoaned that the only person they could find to face him was Mascarita, stating that he could easily kill him with his bare hands and asking “Is that really what you want to see?”, to which a smiling Scarlett replied “It’s what I want to see”. This dynamic continues in WWE, with Scarlett often laughing in the background when Kross mercilessly destroys someone even after he's already beaten them. Michael Cole has even noted that his nickname for Kross, The Calculated Lunatic, may apply just as much to Scarlett as Kross.
33	* MaleGaze: Her {{Stripperiffic}} outfits invite this reaction.
34	* MsFanservice: She was one of Wrestling/TruthMartini's "Hoopla Hotties". Her role has included her taking her pants off in the ring. Then there's her {{Stripperiffic}} ring attire.
35	* PowerStable: She was a valet in Truth Martini's The House of Truth. In WWE Final Testament with her RealLife Husband Wrestling/KarrionKross, The Authors of Pain and Paul Ellering.
36	* {{Red Baron}}ess: The Smokeshow, The Angel of Doom, The Siren of Sin.
37	* SouthernBelle: Averted. You'd think she'd be one with a name like ''Scarlett Bordeaux'', but the name was instead a reference to her having red hair and a vaguely European sex appeal.
38	* TookALevelInBadass: Despite coming from Ohio Valley, she's been described as delicate, scurried away from fights, and showed no more wrestling ability than any other Hoopla Hottie, much less than Sparx in fact. But she toughened up rather than let Wrestling/SumieSakai continue to stand up to her bullies, BJ Whitmer and Kelly Klein, for her.
39	* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: While singing the "House of Truth National Anthem", which is basically about not wearing pants, she took off her dress to reveal Stars and Stripes bra and panties.
