The Münchausen - Tracy Beaker, sort of. The tall tales she tells are about her mother rather than herself. Floss is very close with her father, Charlie, so much so that her mother seems jealous at times of their bond. The fact that she chooses to stay with him instead of going to Australia with her mother is proof enough, although she makes it clear that his disorganized lifestyle and chip-related work leads to problems in Floss' school and social life throughout the book. In Double Act, Ruby cuts all her hair to make her look different from her twin sister. This signals how the twins are starting to become more individual. Garnet tries to copy Ruby but Ruby threatens her not to.

People assume India from Secrets is this, but she usually averts it, noting that she plays it straight only when defending Anne Frank's diary against the girls in her class. In Katy, Katy's parents are suspicious of her new friend Imogen partly because Imogen calls her father by his given name.
