Line 38:
* [[Gender Bender]] - our four hero(ines), later Peter Hall.
* [[Genius Ditz]] - Jo again, who is [http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2005-10-06 surprisingly] [http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2005-10-08 observant] and spookily [http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2006-06-22 insightful] when she wants to be.
* [[Go Seduce My Arch -Nemesis]]
* [[Gratuitous English]] - Lampshaded in [http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2006-07-06 this] comic: "Maybe with an accent...Faiaa Bouru!"
* [[Half Identical Twin]] - Lita has two siblings who fit the bill. They even have the 'finishing each others' sentences' bit down pat.
* [[How Do I Shot Web?]] - Jo found an obviously magic wand as a toy in a happy meal. She still can't figure out how to use it.
** Except as a club: [http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2006-07-06 "Pretty Cosmic Crystal Rainbow Overhead Smash!"]
* [[Involuntary Shapeshifting]] - Aside from the original [[Gender Bender]], 32 turns Alex into a minotaur for help during the invasion. Since then, she's prone to weird transformations during emotional duress, but she never recalls any of her episodes.
Line 70:
** [http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2006-04-15 "Hello Darkness..., my old friend..."]
* [[Playing Cyrano]] - Max & Xander
* [[Ret -Gone]]: The Girls' former [[Jerk Jock]] identities, which is generally a good thing since nobody liked them much, [http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2006-05-30 but the realization that no one remembers any of the good things they did either is enough to bring Jo to tears at one point.]
** [[Ripple -Effect -Proof Memory|RetGone-Proof Memory]] - Jo still remembers being a boy. Subconsciously, Alex does, too, as evidenced by some of her dreams. Also, ''[[The Wotch]]'' established that the girls' parents know that they used to be boys.
*** That was more of an [[Author's Saving Throw]], as people were calling out Anne for forcibly changing people against their will, so by saying that, it would be ok (as Cheer does make it clear while they were [[Jerk Jocks]] for the most of it they were still the same people) plus it gets mentioned in [[The Wotch]].
*** [[The Wotch|Anne's Feminist Pride]] says that spells can bring forth or diminish personality traits, but can't change personality completely. Thus, the cheerleaders are basically the same people they always were; it's implied their [[Jerk Jock]] behavior in their old life was because they thought that's how jocks ''should'' act.
Line 83:
* [[Second Law of Gender Bending]] - Jo only; the others don't appear to remember.
* [[Ship Tease]] - 29/32, Alex/Lita.
* [[Shout -Out]] - pay attention to [[Firefly the Series|what]] Jo is doing in [http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2005-11-17 this] strip...
** [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us|All your]] [http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2006-01-24 wand] [[Zero Wing|are belong to us!]]
** She's also a fan of "[[Sailor Moon|Windjammer Luna]]".
Line 92:
* [[The Stoic]] - Agent 29.
* [[Third Law of Gender Bending]] - In a big, big way, made explicit in canon.
* [[Tomboyish Name]] - Alex, Sam, and Jo, though ironically enough their girl names bear less relationship to their former male names (Aaron, Gene, and Colin) then Cher's does to her former male name of [[Shout -Out|"Sonny"]].
* [[Uncle Pennybags]]: Alex is secretly very rich, but hides all mention of it because she's not fond of her distant parents.
* [[Unsound Effect]] - part of the Wotch tradition, with new levels including ''mysterious trip!'' and ''[[THAC 0]]'D!''
