Line 82:
* [[Anti-Hero Substitute]]: Subverted in the original series. Cassandra's outfit and backstory scream this when contrasted with Barbara Gordon's, but she is very much [[The Cape (trope)]].
* [[Big Eater]]: At least after really tough fights.
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Super body language reading. Moreover, her [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] allows her to perform such feats as throwing a Batarang, then racing ahead of the missile and catching it before it hits the target.
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: [[Deconstructed]]. Cass tries on Babs outfit and immediatly stumbles when trying to fight in the heels.
* [[Corruption of a Minor]]
Line 99:
* [[Tap on the Head]]: Often applied by Cassandra to Stephanie.
* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: Because of her ability to read body language, when she made her first kill she was able to understand the fear of death on an intimate level, and vowed to never take another life.
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: First nine or so years of her life were spent doing this.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The miniseries "Batman: Gates of Gotham" was originally conceived as a solo story about Cassandra. The final product heavily featured her, but she had to share it with her brothers.
 
Line 149:
* [[Smoke Out]]: She ''is'' a Bat...
* [[Squee]]: Stephanie herself squee's relatively often, as she is a teenager who has managed to remain [[Plucky Girl|light-hearted and chipper]] despite the traumas in her own life. When the possiility of a team-up with the [[Birds of Prey]] comes up she is ''ecstatic''.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Referenced, but did not occur within her series. She is more self-assured, confident and competent than she ever was as either Spoiler or Robin, and is complimented on such by Bruce Wayne himself, but this dramatic change took place before the start of her tenure as Batgirl, and her improvements within the series are only incremental increases due to regular training and experience.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Steph and her mom eat waffles at pretty much every meal. It is apparently her mom's way of bonding. Heck, even Damian was seen eating them with Steph more than once!
* [[You Fight Like a Cow]]: [[Witty Banter]] is a necessity in any life-or-death situation, and Stephanie always remembers to prompt somebody when it is their turn for a quip.
