Despite Louise's mischievous nature she is not generally malicious. Though she loves a good prank, she never aims to hurt anybody. Despite this, she has been known to go overboard in episodes like " Topsy" and " Glued, Where's My Bob?". Junior Counterpart: It's not obvious at first, but while Louise definitely gets her craziness from her mother Linda, she's actually shaping to be most like her father Bob. She takes after most of his distinctive quirks, including his Companion Cube habits and tendency to snark at the insanity of others, as well as sharing similar interests. She's even considered becoming his successor as the head of Bob's Burgers one day. She loves pranking and snarking at her family, but will show remorse if she causes genuine harm as a result. Overall, while she is occasionally irreverent towards her parents, she is never openly malicious towards them, especially not Bob, whom she looks up to. This tends to extend to other adults in the series as well; most if not all of the adult targets of her schemes are due to them having wronged her (or her believing that they wronged her) in some way, and won't intentionally try to cause them excessive harm or give them more hell than she feels is karmic. Smart Jerk and Nice Moron: The Smart Jerk to Tina's Nice Moron. Louise is shown to be very intelligent and good at planning, but she often uses this to manipulate other people for her own gain; meanwhile, Tina is airheaded and doesn't think things through, but is very kind and selfless. Although four years younger than her sister Tina, Louise and Tina spend most of their time together with Gene, even eating lunch at school. Like Gene, Louise often accompanies Tina to events with her friends despite being much younger.

At its highest in "Live and Let Fly", where she was not only able to devise a plan to record Mr. Frond trash-talking the other counselors and get it on a sky banner (through the help of Upskirt Kurt), but also improvise a plan to have Kurt derail her previous plan via slicing off the banner. Realism-Induced Horror: In-universe; she's a Nightmare Fetishist to a very high degree, loves to talk about things like monsters and cannibalism, and the entirety of "The Hauntening" is based around the fact that she wants to be frightened by a haunted house. However, if there's something that can genuinely upset her, it's something like going to the dentist or growing apart from her father. Sex Is Violence: G-rated version. When she develops a crush on Boo Boo from Boyz 4 Now, she doesn't want to kiss him or get his autograph, she wants to slap him. She follows through at the end of the episode, and even slaps him again during their second meeting in "Bye Bye Boo Boo" (which makes Boo Boo instantly remember her). Later on, when she kisses Regular-Sized Rudy in "Bob Actually", she also slaps him immediately after. Hates Reading: She does not enjoy reading, and in "The Silence of the Louise" she has to read a book as part of a school competition to win a trip to a water park for all the students. She chose Old Yeller, and forced herself to read it. She's horrified and further put off reading when she reaches the ending, where Yeller gets rabies and dies. Large Ham: Doesn't chew scenery like Gene, and in fact generally prefers a quiet approach to a heavy-handed one, but she will immediately take center stage when it is to her advantage.As Tina's only girl sibling, Tina likes sharing her girly interests with Louise, with much resistance from Louise at first. When Tina was upset she couldn't go to a Boyz4Now concert, Louise took pity and helped her sister go to the show without adult help, only planning to get Tina there and then return home (" Boyz 4 Now"). However, Louise becomes obsessed with Boo Boo, a member of the band, and the Belcher doesn't understand why. Along with her infatuation with Boo Boo, she has other interests she believes most girls her age don't have and thinks that means something's wrong with her. However, as someone who's been through what Louise has, Tina teaches her that it's okay to be different. https://bobs-burgers.fandom.com/wiki/File:Tina_Louise_s13e10_The_Plight_Before_Christmas.webm The Gadfly: As her mother states, she likes messing with people she thinks are stupid—which seems to be a lot of people. She'll even occasionally mess with people she knows aren't stupid, seemingly just to see what she can get away with. The Prankster: Louise is known for playing elaborate, meticulously planned pranks at school. This becomes a plot point in " Prank You for Being a Friend", where Kaylee asks her advice on how to pull pranks because she wants to get thrown out of Wagstaff and be homeschooled. Token Evil Teammate: Downplayed; she's not evil or even a truly awful person, but she's definitely the most selfish of the core five Belchers. The other four are a Jerk with a Heart of Gold at their worst, but Louise is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold at her best. Furthermore, whenever the Belchers are trying to prevent something bad from happening, Louise will instead be cheering it on (unless it's something terrible or against her own interests). Louise and Bob get over their fear of going to the restroom in public places. (" Poops!… I Didn't Do It Again") Bob Belcher [ ]

The Chessmaster: Louise will eagerly exploit stupid people for her own amusement, and she's also quite willing to manipulate her family for her own pleasure. Linda is perfectly aware of the former, as she tells Mr. Frond (whom Louise had pranked by convincing him her father was dead and haunting the restaurant) that "she likes to mess with people she thinks are stupid". Mundane Solution: Despite her tendency to think of grand schemes, sometimes she recognizes when there's simply no need to. Special mention to "Seven-tween Again", where Gene needs her help to escape from a daycare. After learning about the situation, she does what any reasonable person would do... tell Bob so that he can just sign Gene out.Bob tries his best to be fair to all of his kids, with well-nigh nothing indicating he has a favorite among them. Still, it's sometimes implied Louise believes she's Bob's favorite child.

A majority of her Halloween costumes are at least partially based on male characters note Edward Scissorhands, the Driver, Anton Chigurh, Jason Bourne, Beetlejuice, and Peter Pan, with only one ( Helen Hunt from her role in Twister) based on a female character. Strong Family Resemblance: Ironically, Louise heavily resembles a younger Linda, with both possessing similar facial features and hair. Shorter Means Smarter: She's the shortest of the siblings (owing to being the youngest) and is definitely the smartest, being the one who plans out most of the kids' schemes. While Louise rejects most of her hugs and kisses and passes them to Gene, there are some ways Louise's mom expresses their love to her. " Eat, Spray, Linda" shows that Louise and Linda go to a pet store to pet the puppies. Louise knows an employee there and a puppy she always pets, Colonel Fluffles. Linda was also the one who made Louise's hat. Linda knitted Louise's pink beanie because she was scared of pre-school, and because Louise showed how brave she was on the first day, Linda added bunny ears to commemorate it ( The Bob's Burgers Movie). Louise wears the hat every day. Louise is capable of showing emotional affection to her entire family, but Bob is one of the only ones she's willing to show physical affection to.

Louise decides to meet him after school in " Bob Actually." She then tells him that Chloe (Rudy's valentine interest) will not show up because she is not in love with him and she surprises him by kissing him on the mouth. Afterwards she slaps him and threatens him so he will not tell anyone about their kiss or she will "end him". Evil Laugh: Yep. Not really clear where she gets it from, though (though most likely Linda, considering she can let them loose whenever her eccentricities get the best of her).
