1* AudienceAlienatingEra: Getting paired up with Charlotte after Emma got injured was not well-received by most fans, as they felt Dana was too green to be given such a high-profile spot. Not helping matters was Charlotte's own perceived status as a CreatorsPet, and fans were suffering ArcFatigue in her lengthy Women's Championship reign. After Charlotte started feuding with Bayley, Dana appeared less and less and was finally split from Charlotte. The fans were incredibly behind her when she turned on the former champion, so time will tell if she completely breaks out of it.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Say what you will about Dana herself, but her entrance music "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J2yT8CYvac Respectful]]" is nothing short of awesome.
3* BrokenBase: Whether or not she deserved being called up to the main roster so soon; those who support it tend to cite her improvement in the ring as well as her dynamic as [[Wrestling/TenilleDashwood Emma's]] sidekick which the call-up was intended to continue, while those who oppose it often say that she's too green and[=/=]or should not have been called up before Wrestling/{{Bayley}}.
4* HollywoodPudgy: She's gained a noticeable amount of weight since her debut, and fans have obviously caught wind of this, though she's lost a lot of it by 2018.
5* NarmCharm: Her pompous promos manage to be silly, yet still quite endearing.
6* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap:
7** She wasn't very well liked when she first debuted due to being seen as simply far too green to deserve a regular spot on the NXT roster. The fact she was almost instantly added to the opening title sequence following her debut (while some big names such as Enzo Amore still were not present and others like Finn Balor took weeks or months to be added to it) put her dangerously close to being a CreatorsPet. Thankfully, between her finding a spot as TheDragon to Emma, her vast improvement both in and out of the ring shown on ''Breaking Ground'', and an incredibly well-received match with [[Wrestling/KanakoUrai Asuka]] at ''Takeover: Respect'', she seems to have won over some of the viewers. She still has her share of haters who think she's not ready yet, making her a BaseBreakingCharacter.
8** 2019 proved to be Dana's best year with the company so far. By really demonstrating her skill in non-title matches on ''WWE Main Event'', she was finally able to get over as a babyface with a large portion of the audience.
9* SpiritualSuccessor: She's often compared to Wrestling/BethPhoenix since they're both blonde Amazonian Beauties who wear similar attires.
10* StrangledByTheRedString: A non-romantic example. Her joining forces with Charlotte was never given an explanation or reason for it, unless WWE expected us to believe she had secretly admired Charlotte the whole time they were rivals on NXT.
