• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Giant, rampaging lady, in this case.
• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Though Puella's goals seem clear, she rarely has any actual plan of action to achieve them. She tends to just do whatever first jumps to mind.
• Attention Whore: The crux of her motivation - above all else she desires to be admired. no matter the cost.
• Badass on Paper: Puella has the strength and size to be a terrifying threat, but her impulsivity, tantrums and general childish attitude stop her from being the badass she wants to be.

• Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Inverted as her destructive adventures and clumsiness ruin her efforts to look proper and fancy.
• Berserk Button: Has two of these.
  • She hates it when she's referred to by her real name, Puella. She is very insistent on being called Pinky.
  • Anyone who insults her image is bound to regret it.
• Beware the Silly Ones: Pinky is playful, teasing and excitable girl when she grows, if a little oblivious. This doesn't mean she isn't capable of monstrous things.
• Big Ego, Hidden Depths: Puella's intense need to be seen is made more understandable once her abusive childhood is revealed.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: Puella isn't interested in the morality of her actions more than she's interested in how much fame, or infamy, it would garner her.

• Buxom Beauty Standard: She's seen as very attractive, and her chest is large to match.
