 * Hates Being Touched: Dani, mostly because Junior uses his tentacles to do it.

Helps to fight against Minnie's monster form.

 * Back Stab: How Him stopped her initial attack on the golem.
 * Berserk Button: If you watched the animated series, you know that bringing up her father is a real sore subject for Raven, as Him clearly demonstrates.
 * Trying to harm or take Mimi away, also a bad idea.
 * Eye Scream: Gave the lava golem one heck of a shiner when it tried to take Mimi.
 * Fridge Horror / Fridge Logic: In Mimi's flashback, Grim states that because of the traitor in the midst of Megaville's heroes, only a ragtag group of heroes (Irwin, Hoss Delgado, and Raven) remained to fight off evil forces.

 * Mama Bear: More like a surrogate Mama Bear, but just as vicious in defending Mimi, as the lava golem found out here.
 * She's All Grown Up: Well in the original Teen Titans comics she was already well into this. But seeing as this is based on the TV series where she was about 13-14, it counts.
