8	----
9	!! "Hail Hendrix' Tropes":
10	* AintTooProudToBeg: Begged for mercy from Mandy Leon during their Fight Without Honor, with excellent results. Tends to try the same if she's wrestling a man and isn't able to entice/seduce him, but generally doesn't succeed.
11	* ArchEnemy:
12	** (in OVW): [[Wrestling/RubyRiott Heidi Lovelace]]
13	** (in ROH): Wrestling/MandyLeon
14	* AscendedExtra: Originally called into ROH to hold over Wrestling/DaizeeHaze and Wrestling/SaraDelRey until the competition they desired could be found. She returned five years later in a much more prominent role.
15	* AscendedMeme: She's been compared to Tiara from ''Anime/ShamanicPrincess'' and ComicBook/PoisonIvy from ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}''. "Poison Princess" eventually became her official title.
16	* BattleStrip: Tends to lose her wrist bands in matches, usually voluntarily to use as projectiles or [[CombatPragmatist gags]]. Has also stripped out of her skirt during matches to use as a weapon to choke, blind, or distract her opponents.
17	* BoisterousWeakling: If Taeler isn't able to entice, seduce, or otherwise confuse her opponent, she is generally not very tough, and is relatively easy to defeat. It's why the same wrestler who seemed to have an answer for the OVW powerhouse Epiphany seemed to spin her wheels against Heidi Lovelace and Jessie Belle. Why Wrestling/SumieSakai was the first to give her trouble in ROH after Hendrix's reinvention and why Wrestling/KellyKlein quickly surpassed her as ROH's top woman wrestler.
18	* TheCameo: She was one of Wrestling/AdamRose's "Rosebuds" on the December 15, 2014 ''Wrestling/{{WWERAW}}''.
19	* ChewingTheScenery: Her MotiveRant about the HonorIsFairPlay mindset and how good vs. evil is the greatest story ever and how she is staying on the side of evil so her story never ends qualifies.
20	* {{Determinator}}: To put it mildly. She's a ''cancer survivor''.
21	* DudeWheresMyRespect: In a pretaped promo, she beat the crap out of one of House of Truth leader Wrestling/TruthMartini's students when she visited his dojo when said student didn't shake her hand like the others did. Truth [[BadBoss laughed at his student's misfortune]] and considered it a lesson in respect.
22	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Her less-buxom, quieter persona in TNA versus, well, the picture above.
23	* EvilLaugh[=/=]LaughingMad: In response to Deonna Purrazzo running in and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone accidentally hitting]] Mandy Leon with a chair during their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIDBmXk0c8E no-DQ match]].
24	* EvilRedhead: Describes herself as "Gingerlicious and delicious" and wanted to see a complete HOT takeover of ROH.
25	* FieryRedhead: Besides the red hair, the most noticeable difference from her predecessor, Seleziya Sparx, is Hendrix's demeanor. Taeler's much less friendly, not at all tranquil when angry and has little time for subtlety.
26	* FinishingMove: Kiss Goodnight (Round House), [[{{Sequel}} Long]] Kiss Goodnight (Tombstone), Poison Pill(Coquina Clutch)
27	* GenreBlind: After her first pin fall loss to Wrestling/SumieSakai, Hendrix claimed to have studied her, but had she studied enough she'd have known Sakai was the ''one'' woman on ROH had at the time who wouldn't find the mind games Hendrix attempted to play on her creepy.
28	* GratuitousLatin
29	-->"Latin. The language of Love... I fight like a woman. Seduction is my weapon."
30	* IKnowKarate: Taekwondo is the reason she often doesn't hook her legs on moves like the Muta Lock, she wants to leave as many options to kick open as possible.
31	* LadyInRed: And how. Applies most to her usual red wrestling outfit, or her very skimpy dresses when managing. Loves to distract everyone any way she can.
32	* {{Manipulative B\|astard}}itch: Her storyline with Heidi Lovelace in OVW turned out to be Taeler using Heidi as a way to get back the OVW Women's Title. Heidi gave Taeler a TakeThatKiss when she realized Taeler was manipulating her.
33	* MsFanservice: She is famous for wearing skimpy, revealing outfits, whether she's wrestling or managing. In matches, she also tends to mount pin her opponents in provocative ways, even if only to get a mental advantage.
34	* NavelDeepNeckline: The neckline in her wrestling outfit goes all the way down to her stomach.
35	* PowerStable: Truth Martini's The House of Truth in ROH.
36	* RagsToRiches: Her {{Backstory}} in Ring of Honor, and why she [[TheResenter resented]] how Mandy Leon seemed to have everything handed to her.
37	* RedBaron: (formerly) Boston Bombshell, One Girl Revolution
38	* RightHandHottie: For Wrestling/TruthMartini or Wrestling/JayLethal as the general "hoopla hotties" were phased out. She isn't just for looking good though, as Martini wanted a HOT wrestler for every ROH division and 2015 brought one for WOH.
39	* RivalDojos: She's trained in OVW and came to ROH to face world traveled veterans. When she returned after further training in the HOT she wasn't pleased to find women fresh from the ROH academy waiting for her.
40	* SheFu: She frequently travels around the ring with cartwheels. Officials are divided about the legality of her split approach, which has often ended in [[GroinAttack a hapless crouch.]]
41	* ShoutOut: Has cited Creator/BetteDavis as an inspiration for her heel persona.
42	* TyopOnTheCover: The page on wrestling-titles.com for the OVW Women's Title spells her first name as ''[=Tealer=]''.
43	* UseYourHead: Poison Paradise. Despite extensively scouting her prior to the first Women Of Honor event she decide to use and [[HardHead felt it backfire]] on [[Wrestling/TheRiottSquad Crazy Mary Dobson]].
44	* TheVamp: Getting an early foothold in the WOH division was a factor but Martini hired her mainly to seduce the men opposed to the HOT. She's also not afraid to go after referees, and has even tried to seduce other women.
45	* VillainousBreakdown: Taeler's temper had only been seen in brief instances until she lost a match to Mandy Leon. Hendrix never really regained he composure after that, always being on the verge of outburst.
46	* WalkingSwimsuitScene: [[https://ovwmania.blogspot.com/2012/05/ovw-saturday-night-special-june-2-2012.html Posed]] in a bikini on a pool raft to promote ''OVW Saturday Night Special'' on June 2, 2012.
47	* WouldHitAGirl: Wrestling/TheYoungBucks [=Superkicked=] her during the formation of the ROH version of Wrestling/BulletClub.
48	* WoundedGazelleGambit: Her no-DQ match with Mandy Leon saw Taeler holding her arm while Mandy was looking to hit her with a chair. Mandy, being a Woman of Honor, backed down and made the mistake of turning her back, leading to Taeler hitting her in the stomach with a chair and hitting the Long Kiss Goodnight on a pile of chairs.
