Line 93:
=== Ashley Spinelli ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' Pamela Segall-Aldon}}
* [[Action Girl]]: She's very strong.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Spinelli's ethnic background has been called into question. Since she has almond-shaped eyes found on Asian girls in cartoons and light brown skin, many viewers have assumed that Spinelli was originally from somewhere in South Asia and was adopted by Caucasian parents. On the other hand, Spinelli's skin tone is also found on Southern Italians (Silicians, specifically) and [[That Other Wiki]] has established that Spinelli's family (possibly her father's side, as he has really dark hair and almost the same skin tone as his daughter, and her mother looks like she could be white European) is Italian (right down to Spinelli's penchant for fighting, which comes from the stereotype of the hot-blooded Italian) so either Spinelli's mom isn't really her mom, Spinelli's mom being a redhead is an [[Actor Allusion]] to Katey Sagal [who played Peggy Bundy -- a redheaded housewife who wore tacky 1960s housewife clothes and has a big bouffant, like Spinelli's mom does -- on ''[[Married... with Children]]''], Spinelli's mom dyes her hair, or Spinelli takes after her father more than her mother (which further reinforces Spinelli's aversion to all things she thinks are for girly-girls).
* [[Badass Adorable]]
Line 102:
* [[Brown Eyes]]: According to [[Word of God]]
* [[Bruiser with a Soft Center]]
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: This is why she wins at a beauty pageant...while she follows what Vince tells at her at first (and actually agrees with what the things he says), she eventually reveals what a tomboy she is.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: She may be cute, but she's far from weak.
* [[The Cutie]]: Rather redundant to point out, but it's true!
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Do Not Call Me Paul|Do Not Call Me Ashley]]: She refers to herself by her last name, as her first name is Ashley...like the mean girls at school.
** [[Embarrassing First Name]]
** [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]: Ashley ''Funicello''... hence why she goes by [[Last-Name Basis| Spinelli]]
Line 117 ⟶ 118:
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Despite being quick tempered and violent, she's always rooting for the underdog and protecting her friends
* [[Last-Name Basis]]: Justified in that her first name carries a stigma on the playground.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: The toughest kid at her school.
* [[Little Miss Snarker]]
* [[Masculine Girl Feminine Boy]]: Definitely more masculine than Mikey. She's also manlier than TJ, though TTJ himself isn't terribly girly.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: In the pilot, as she looked like she never left kindergarten.
* [[One of the Boys]]: One of her friends IS a girl though.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Gretchen's blue.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: As seen in "The Beauty Contest".
