List of Tropes About the Years House Characters/The Older Siblings

2002
Voiced by: Ashley Johnson

She is 17 years old. She is honest, adventurous, friendly, light-hearted, luminous, confident and relaxed. She looks out for her younger siblings. She loves her family, and she loves to have fun.

Tropes Relating to Her

 * The Ace: 2002 is an expert at playing soccer.
 * All-Loving Hero: She's really nice to all her friends & family, and all the people around her.
 * Child Prodigy: Even as a child, she had great control over the house. As a baby, she could levitate her toys with ease.
 * Control Freak: She is really a neat-freak, and she loves cleaning rooms.
 * Crazy-Prepared: She has everything planned out for her siblings in case anything goes wrong.
 * Foil: To 2003 in terms of behavior. While they're quite similar in that both are beauty-obsessed teenage girl stereotypes who care passionately about their popularity, their personalities are completely different from each other:
 * 2002 has a strong sense of rationality and sophistication, which makes her overconfident about everything that's going on in her life.
 * 2003 is a complete scatterbrain who's incredibly naive and clumsy and has trouble thinking for herself even when in the face of the most rudimentary of tasks. However, just like 2002, 2003 does not have a single mean bone in her body and is genuinely an All-Loving Heroine.
 * The Hero: She's the main sibling.
 * Large Ham: A large ham in a tall body. She sometimes makes dramatic threats or flirts dramatically with her boyfriend, Tramallio.
 * Nice Girl: One of the nicest, if not, most nicest characters of the show.
 * Only Sane Woman: Along with 2006 and 2008, usually.
 * Phoneaholic Teenager: During season one, she was calling or texting her boyfriend Tramallio (or some other friend of hers). She tells 2008 about how horrified she was when 2009 broke her phone by boiling it on the stove.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's The Blue to 2003's Red. 2002 is more mature and rational than 2003, and certainly a lot smarter than her, too. So she often acts as 2003's voice of reason as a result. Coincidentally, 2002 wears blue, and it's her theme color. 2002 is a lot more patient then the Nice Girl All-Loving Heroine 2003.
 * Valley Girl: Acts like more of a modern one. Obsessed with her phone, using "literally" like a comma, and obsessing over shoes and clothes. She's a bit smarter than the stereotype, though.
 * Younger Than They Look: 2002 can easily pass for someone in her early-twenties despite being only 17.

2003
Voiced by: Nika Futterman

She is 16 years old. She is quite ditzy and is very forgetful and absent-minded. Despite being ditzy and absent-minded, 2003 is shown to be skilled at fashion designing and making smoothies, which demonstrates that while she may not be very bright, she is creative and artistically inclined. She is also very friendly and gets along well with her siblings. She plays keyboard in the heavy-metal rock band "The Rockin' Rockers".

Tropes Relating to Her

 * Accidental Misnaming: Never seems to get 2008's friend Salvador name right. 2008 too, when she isn't using his nickname, Eighty.
 * Adorkable: How goofy and kind she is grants her this status.
 * All-Loving Heroine: 2003 is genuinely nice to everyone, even bullies.
 * All Women Love Shoes: She owns a whole closet of shoes but mostly wears sandals.
 * Ambiguous Disorder: Some of her behavior suggests that there's more to her than simply being a Dumb Blonde, such as needing instructions presented in a very specific manner in order to learn something new (like driving), among other things.
 * Annoying Younger Sibling: To 2002. Despite being roommates, they have a lot of Sibling Yin-Yang, with 2003 often getting on 2002's nerves with her obliviousness (although 2003 doesn't mean to bother her).
 * Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Partially due to her low intelligence, Leni is easily distracted, especially by things she loves like clothes, fashion, and make-up.
 * Brainless Beauty: Is appearance-focused, but is also dim and says things like, "My favorite color is zebra."
 * Buffy Speak: She often talks like this due to not being very smart. Her siblings refer to it as "2003 Speak", and in "Missing Grandpop" it turns out that using 2003 Speak is the best way to teach her how to cartwheel.
 * Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Yes, you heard me right. This Naïve Everygirl is skilled at fashion designing.
 * Character Tics: 2003 poses her arms in a limp-wristed manner, sometimes referred to as "raptor arms".
 * Chubby Chaser: 2003 is dating an overweight guy named Makesure, who, like herself, is interested in fashion.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: 2003 is a pretty good example of this. She's mostly just ditzy, but sometimes acts eccentric too.
 * Cool Big Sis: Towards her younger siblings. Despite being a ditz, she's very kind to them.
 * Cute Clumsy Girl: 2003 is a beautiful-yet-clumsy girl, which is best exemplified with the Running Gag of her bumping into walls inadvertently.
 * The Cutie: While incredibly stupid, her naïve and sweet demeanor makes her this.
 * The Ditz: Can't even ride her hand-me-downed bike when she's young, and not even aware she's tripped to mud after that, though it's been implied that she's smarter than she seems.
 * Dumb Blonde: She plays this trope straight since she's the least intelligent out of them all. She is literally too dumb to walk and chew gum at the same time.
 * Dumb Is Good: While she is laughably naive, she's arguably the nicest of the Year Family and much kinder than the "smart" ones of the family.
 * The Fashionista: She likes buying and modeling clothes, and often voices her opinion on clothes, whether it's positive or negative.
 * Foil: To 2002 in terms of behavior and 2005 in terms of interests and labels.
 * 2002 is the sensible, rational, and sophisticated of the duo, while 2003's a complete scatterbrain who's too dumb to think for herself. However, unlike 2002, who's a responsive and patient girl, 2003 is a well-meaning Nice Girl without a single mean bone in her body.
 * Lastly, 2003 and 2005 have a lot in common in that both are perpetual optimists and Cloudcuckoolanders who often get on others' nerves with their eccentricity but are Innocently Insensitive in their defense; however, 2003 is a Valley Girl caught up in the recent trends, while 2005 is a Kiddie Kid obsessed with having fun!
 * Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The Foolish to 2002's Responsible in that 2003 is far less intelligent and rational than the former, who is primarily her voice of reason.
 * Forgetful Jones: Part of her ditzy nature, 2003 has a short attention span and tends to be very forgetful.2003: Wait, what was I talking about again?
 * Genius Ditz: Despite being ditzy and absent-minded, 2003 is skilled in fashion designing, wood carving, lock-picking, singing, and making smoothies, which demonstrates that despite her characteristic stupidity, she is very talented.
 * Genki Girl: She is certainly energetic, but not quite as Genki as 2005, but in "2003's Pink Dots", 2003 quite literally enthusiastically launches herself (off the couch) into 2008 and Salvador's endeavor, dragging them through the air in her drive to get started.
 * Girly Girl: 2003 definitely seems to be one of the most stereotypically feminine Loud sisters, along with 2005. She's bubbly, ditzy, light, and fashion-obsessed.
 * Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Fashion and make-up are among her favorite things. Well, despite having expressed a previous disdain for video games when 2010 asked her if she wanted to play a video game in the episode "Hardly Awake", she's shown gleefully playing one with 2008 and Salvador in "Fun in the Fall".
 * Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: The sweetest of the Year kids, whose hair is noticeably a much lighter shade of yellow than her sisters, perhaps making her a platinum blonde.
 * Hidden Depths:
 * In hen she's making Lori's bed for a ride to the mall, she has, as 2008 puts it, "amazing craftsmanship".
 * Upon mastering the lawnmower, 2003 stretches her name into the lawn.
 * In "Watch Out for 2007s", she prepared a perfectly-made salmon dish for herself and her siblings, implying she can cook to some extent.
 * In "Growing Pains" she's shown to be a handy lockpicker and implies she's fully aware the others believe her to be a ditzy airhead.
 * 2003: What? There's more to my head than just air, you know.
 * She exploited a "test drive" so she and Lori could get a car to make a mall run.
 * In "Super Family Fun Land!", it's revealed that despite being obsessed with her own looks, she's not shallow at all, as her crush is Periwinklel, a kindhearted boy.
 * In "Zoo in the Family", she apparently has knowledge about wildlife.
 * "Fun in the Fall" revolves around her interpersonal skills and creating a surprisingly effective regimen for curing Clyde's infatuation almost on the fly. She also proves to have a surprisingly practical understanding of loofahs, and despite her previously stated dislike of video games in "Hardly Awake", is seen playing them with the boys with a cheerful, goofy smile.
 * In "2003's Wish", she proves a surprisingly effective manager when put in charge of Vark's absence, keeping both her siblings and friends happy by combining her usual fun-loving ways with an impressive display of organizational present-wrapping skills.
 * Naïve Everygirl: 2003 is a stereotypical Dumb Blonde 16-year-old girl with an endearing and innocent nature which is a frequent target for bullies.
 * Nice Girl: While she could contend with 2002 thanks to being the second-oldest, she never comes even close to being a Big Sister Bully like her sibling 2007 and is inarguably the sweetest of the siblings. As the episode "Watch Out for 2007s" shows, this trait makes her an easy target for 2007's bullying, but she ultimately uses her sweetness as a defense, which proves to be a success as 2007 then turn out to stop bullying her.
 * Perpetual Smiler: It's a rare occurrence to see 2003 frowning.
 * Plucky Comic Relief: 2003 does this with her ditzy nature.
 * The Pollyanna: Unless something upsets her, 2003 is always happy-go-lucky.
 * Valley Girl: She's a teenage girl stereotype of the Dumb Blonde variety. 2008 has to resort to using "2003-speak" in order to teach her how to drive.

2004
Voiced by Jennifer Hale (speaking) Miranda Cosgrove (singing)

She is 15 years old. She is very happy, wild, caring, and easily the loudest sibling of the entire family. What she likes most is singing, playing musical instruments, and being with her family. She has a huge interest in rock music. She is a big fan of several rock groups, and her dream is to become a rockstar. She owns and plays an electric guitar, with which she has proved to be a very good guitarist. She even formed a band with 2003 & 2005 called "The Rockin' Rockers".

Tropes Relating to Her

 * Adorkable: She's an energetic, rambunctious metalhead, yes, but she's also quite friendly. Helps that she has Youthful Freckles and an insecure same-sex crush.
 * Child Popstar: She is this, despite being 15 years old.
 * Cool Big Sis: Fits this the best among the older Year siblings due to her generally cool and kind nature, in comparison to the kind-but-dim-and-kooky 2003 and 2005, and the more-abrasive 2007.
 * Fangirl: She's a wholeheartedly devoted fan to Austin Carlile, ultimately viewing him as her idol.
 * Foil: She's this to both 2005 and 2007. While both of them are quite similar, they are also different in many ways.
 * Both 2004 and 2005 are brown-haired, showbiz-obsessed, kind-hearted, hammy Genki Girls who are Older Than They Look, wear skirts, and even have practically indifferent names sans the letters being rearranged; however, 2004 is rather mellow and rational, while 2005 is always her cheerful, goofball self.
 * Both 2004 and 2007 are brown-haired, rambunctious tomboys who can ham it up pretty good; however, 2007 is by default more jerkish, violent, and mean-spirited, while 2004 is characteristically a Cool Big Sis with a mellow demeanor and good grip on reality.
 * Genki Girl: She's highly energetic, especially when rocking out.
 * Large Ham: Especially dramatic when she is rocking out.
 * Leitmotif: The theme tune played rock & roll style.
 * Nice Girl: She is the second-nicest out of the Year ladies (after 2003 and 2005).
 * No Indoor Voice: She's considered the loudest of the Years. Not surprising, given she's an aspiring musician.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni:
 * The red to 2006's blue. Both have edgy fields of interest, but 2006 is a near emotionless goth while 2004 is a loud and energetic rockstar. However, 2006 is a violent Jerkass and a Goth while 2004 is a All-Loving Nice Girl without a single mean bone in her body.
 * The red to 2002's blue. Unusually for this trope, the outdoors loving Sam is the more blue of the two. 2002 seems a little more soft spoken and reserved in comparison to 2004, who can blurt out a "Woo-woo!" out of excitement and wears her emotions on her sleeve.
 * Rockers Smash Guitars: She does this a LOT.
 * Vocal Dissonance: When she sings, her voice sounds different and sounds a lot like Megan from Drake & Josh.

2005
Voiced by:Janice Kawaye (Season 1, Season 2, & Season 3) Lauren Tom (Season 4 & Season 5)

She is 14 years old. She is buoyant, cheerful, bouncy, optimistic, energetic and full of spirit. A young Japanese-American teenage girl who's the cheerleader of the group. She skips through life with a really huge smile and an assortment of extremely colorful clothes, She is the drummer of the band "The Rockin' Rockers". She never frowns. She's always smiling every day!

Tropes Relating to Her
