Paparazzi - In Little Darlings, Destiny's celebrity dad has been getting negative press attention from them, so decides to use her in a PR stunt to improve his image. Parental Favoritism: Ellie worries that Eggs is both her father's and Anna's favourite. Nadine thinks that her sister Natasha is their parents' favorite, given that her mother is less harsh on Natasha than on Nadine herself. In Queenie, Elsie was raised by her grandmother because her own mother had abandoned Elsie. Secrets also has Treasure's grandmother take her in after Treasure is beaten by her stepfather. Embarrassing Damp Sheets: Happens to many characters when they become stressed. However, this happens regularly to Kevin in Wave Me Goodbye. He eventually manages to overcome it by getting up every two hours.

Another non-related example: Tanya recognizes that Mandy is getting bullied by Kim and intimidates her in a show of defense for Mandy. Nadine repeatedly goes for bad boys in the Girls series and every time, Ellie and Magda have to come and bail her out, the shining example of this is when Nadine chats to a stranger online in Girls In Tears and he writes Erotica about her, only for it to turn out he's not seventeen but a man in his fifties when she meets him in person. Phoebe in The Primrose Railway Children is the closest to her father, being the youngest and fond of playing imaginary games unlike her teenage sister and Literal-Minded brother. She takes it the hardest when she learns he is in prison, during which time she briefly decides she never wants to see him again. Brother–Sister Team - Violet and Will in Midnight, Hetty and Jem/Gideon in Hetty Feather, Dorry and Jonnie in Katy.

Books with pages on this wiki include:

Love Lessons is presented as one from Prue's perspective, because she doesn't end up with Mr. Raxberry, although adults reading the book would consider it a better ending for her than the alternative.

In Double Act, Ruby cuts all her hair to make her look different from her twin sister. This signals how the twins are starting to become more individual. Garnet tries to copy Ruby but Ruby threatens her not to. He then is constructed what to do by Jake (he's kind of in charge with another lady called Sally) He ends up alright (than goodness) if he didn't survive it the story would end. Subverted in My Mum Tracy Beaker when Cam mentions attending a "ceremony" she went to involving two of her female friends, implying that it was their wedding. Played straight however with Cam seeming to develop a relationship with Miss Oliver, Jess's teacher, implied only through innuendos throughout the story. In Queenie, Elsie's mother neglected her to go out partying, leading to Elsie being taken to an orphanage and later adopted by her grandmother. When they reunite years later, Elsie's mother hasn't changed a bit and continues to treat her daughter as an inconvenient nuisance to her own career and lifestyle. Perry in The Primrose Railway Children sometimes comes across as younger than his little sister Phoebe in some of his behaviours, i.e, demanding to do things right away, repeating sentences over and over, having a meltdown if he gets overwhelmed or completely failing to grasp the danger of entering a tunnel while a train is coming through it. However much of this behaviour is consistent with him being on the autism spectrum and in other respects he can come across as quite mature for his age.

Alpha Bitch: Justine in The Story of Tracy Beaker and My Mum Tracy Beaker, Kim in Bad Girls, Louise (she gets better) and Karen (she doesn't) in How to Survive Summer Camp, Chloe in Sleepovers, Rhiannon in Candyfloss, Skye in Cookie, Marilyn in Queenie, Sheila in Hetty Feather (who gets better by Sapphire Battersea.) Gina in Love Lessons and Eva in Katy are all examples. Sally from Love Frankie swings between this when she's around most people and Lovable Alpha Bitch when it's just her and Frankie. No Social Skills: A huge part of Prudence's problems in Love Lessons, when she is incapable of fitting in with others thanks to years of homeschooling and her own rather headstrong attitude. Ironically, her younger sister ends up happy and makes friends easily even though she is frequently considered 'slow' by her family. My Beloved Smother - Mandy in Bad Girls has one. Mary in Take a Good Look has a grandmother who won't let her do anything (use scissors, go to a nearby shop, or even get out of bed while she's recovering from a cold) because Mary is partially sighted. Wilson's earlier novels were more prone to the Downer Ending; since she hit the big time with the first Tracy Beaker book, a Bittersweet Ending is more common.
