 * Butt Monkey
 * Catch Phrase: "I'm the unluckiest bishoujo in the world!"
 * Cool Loser: This Loser Is You, but it takes the span of the whole series for Doremi to realize she has more True Companions than she thinks. Also, she gets along with all of her classmates, gets to take care of a cute baby, and gets to do magic... as pointed out by Mirei (of the fan site Candy Flower fame), what does she actually consider being lucky?

 * The Ojou
 * Opaque Lenses: They occasionally turn into Scary Shiny Glasses.

 * Ship Tease: She gets plenty of this with Masaru Yada to the extent that her friends act as Shippers On Deck regarding their "friendship", and they do eventually become an Official Couple in the Light Novel. The ship teasing could also constitute for some of the Les Yay shipping as well.
 * Shrinking Violet
 * Spell My Name with an "S": The subs call her Hadzuki. This is probably to emphasize that her name is spelled with the kana for "tsu." With the dakuten, it's pronounced "zu" anyway, but that spelling indicates how her name is written.
 * Static Character/Demoted to Extra: Especially later in the series, she and Aiko (to a lesser extent) are mostly ignored in favor of the other main characters. They also tend to not always be drawn as well.
 * Why Did It Have To Be Ghosts?: She even has a Verbal Tic to unsuccessfully counter her fear: "Majorika! Majorika!"

It's a bit jarring.
 * New Transfer Student
