* LoveAtFirstSight: Claims as much about Maris, having apparently first seen her trying desperately to get back into her mansion when the gate wasn't working, though later comments suggest desperation on Niles's part played a role as well. He's also instantly smitten with Daphen when he meets her for the first time in the third episode.

* NitpickyAboutLivingArrangements: Maybe even more so than Frasier as he is drawn to the lap of luxury like a drug addiction. One episode showed that Niles is forced to lower his standards when his ex-wife Maris freezes all of his financial accounts and he spends a small portion of the 6th season living in a low-class yet sustainable studio apartment called The Shangri-La until his divorce is resolved and he can afford to live in his apartment, the luxurious Montana, once more.

Notably, when their dad Martin calls The Shangri-La "his kind of place", Niles begins wailing and demands they get him "out of this hell hole!"

* EvilCounterpart: To Vera from ''Series/{{Cheers}}'', both were [[TheGhost unseen women]] only known by how their husbands talked about them. However Vera was a middle-class woman who Norm liked to tell stories about [[AwfulWeddedLife how terrible she is to be around]] but this was mostly for show and the two were actually HappilyMarried in their own way. Maris is a RichBitch who Niles frequently tried to portray in a positive light when talking about her but her negative qualities where impossible to sugar coat. Norm and Vera remained married throughout the whole series while Niles and Maris eventually went through a bitter divorce.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: As soon as she introduces herself to Frasier (and the audience), Bebe immediately goes full ham as she tries to get Frasier to sign in with her agency, complete with her signature bulgy-eyed predatory glare, deranged smile, and blatant usage of reverse psychology to get Fraisier to do exactly what she wants, all the while making it clear--without directly admitting it--that she's never gonna take "no" for an answer.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: She's an over the top drama queen, and quite possibly insane given the lengths she goes to, but she consistently gets Frasier significant raises when it's time to renegotiate his contract and even gets him a syndication deal in San Francisco, which is one of the reasons Frasier never fires her (the other being he's scared to death she'd kill him.)

* MilkingTheGiantCow: Whenever she ''really'' gets going, she tends to pepper her speeches with wide, flailing hand gestures just to emphasize how "big" of a deal whatever it is she's trying to coax Frasier to sign up to next.
