Trope List

 * The Bus Came Back: Pirouetta makes her return to the series in season 21. She was last seen in season 7 with her last speaking appearance being in season 5.
 * Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Pirouetta originally had a widow's peak, but was removed and had eyebrows instead.
 * Fantastic Racism: Cheeky Chocolate briefly to Pirouetta, for being a Shoppie with ballet shoes.
 * Nice Guy
 * Perpetual Smiler: Pirouetta's model only ever used a couple of face masks, all of which are pretty much just a variation of the same grin. This is averted after she reappeared in the CGI series.
