History CDTAdventure / TropesLToZ

* MagicStaff: Soryn has an ironwood staff topped with an obsidian tetrahedron held in place with a slightly fancy silver mesh. His first spell use in the world is manifesting a {{blade|OnAStick}} of HardLight on the obsidian focus to deal with a moufreta ambush. Since then he's also cast a spell to refrigerate chocolate, healing spells, and a cleaning spell.

* SharedUnusualTrait: The Otterbein twins have two for the price of one; they inherited their human mother's heterochromia, and inherited their miri [[HasTwoMommies mother]]'s snowflake-shaped iris in one eye.

** Later, Varg accidentally sabotages her own attempt to play matchmaker when she ThinksLikeARomanceNovel out loud, more specifically referencing penny dreadfuls with demon ladies, with no clue that Rosalind the ReligiousVampire would resent being compared, even tangentially, to a [[HornyDevils succubus]].

** After Rosalind reveals her age of almost two centuries, Varg ThinksLikeARomanceNovel out loud, more specifically referencing penny dreadfuls with demon ladies, with no clue that Rosalind the ReligiousVampire would resent being compared, even tangentially, to a [[HornyDevils succubus]].

-->'''Henry:''' I feel like a ''kid'' lost in a chemical plant, with zero safety regulations. Sure, maybe I can find the right mixture to fix [[BalefulPolymorph Joe's problem]], but more likely we'll just end up with chemical burns, or choking on toxic fumes.

* SssssnakeTalk: Half-woman-half-snake Nyceme speaks this way, complete with forked tongue flicking out. Saen also does it [[PlayedForLaughs as a parody]] [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall of this stereotype]]. It even applies to the latter's ''[[UpToEleven writing]]''.

* PretendToBeBrainwashed: Aynara copies Mequoql's memories and LightEmUp power, then [[BandageBabe covers herself in medical tape]] to HandWave her lack of fur, for the purpose of pretending to be Mequoql under Mael's mind-control.

%%* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: A large cast exists, but there's also a OneShotCharacter or two.

* PrehensileHair: One of Leone's powers, and the reason her hair's so [[RapunzelHair so ridiculously long]] to begin with.

* PaintItBlack: Justin's hair turns black when he fuses with his demon, though there's also bit of a SkunkStripe.

* WhatAnIdiot:
** InUniverse, Rosalind thinks it's not very smart for a snake lady to poke and annoy a giant gator. For context, Saen is trying to cast a touch-based healing spell on Zarokh, a deinosuchus, but she didn't explain herself and he took offense to being touched by a stranger.
** Lampshaded by Nyorla when she gets startled while levitating multiple knives in a synchronized swarm.
--->'''Nyorla''': Don't you know better than to [[DontSneakUpOnMeLikeThat sneak up]] on a {{chef|OfIron}} wielding [[KnifeNut this many knives]] in the kitchen?!
** InUniverse, Mequoql thinks it's not very smart for someone with no parachute or innate means of fall control[[note]]e.g. flying or teleporting[[/note]] to use an easily-yanked-away magic gemstone to teleport two kilometers up off the ground.

** Non-noble Qorisayane like Aseyu, Koyel, and Layi don't have family names, just a ([[TryToPutThatOnABusinessCard potentially long]]) [[IAmXSonOfY list of titles]]. Explicitly pointed out by Aseyu, to avoid any misunderstandings with people used to LastNameBasis.

** Non-noble Qorisayane like Aseyu, Koyel, and Layi don't have family names, just a ([[OverlyLongName potentially long]]) [[IAmXSonOfY list of titles]]. Explicitly pointed out by Aseyu, to avoid any misunderstandings with people used to LastNameBasis.

* MixedAncestry: Trine is Norwegian and of Filipino descent.

* RealityEnsues:
** Mequoql flies an unrealistic bird simulacrum towards a wild raven. They don't become instant friends. The raven is initially spooked by the simulacrum, so the raven flies a short distance away, watches the specter closely, and starts planning potential escape routes.
--->'''Narration''': Well, Mequoql had just creeped out the raven. What did she expect would happen, anyway? She wasn't an animal trainer.
** Soryn's shirt ''and the skin underneath'' gets shredded by biting and clawing moufretas, making a realistic consequence to go along with ClothingDamage.
** A RearingHorse too panicked to control himself loses his balance and falls.
** Floors don't have face wells like massage tables do. When Akane offers to massage Syrni Sandra's back, Syrni Sandra can't get comfortable lying face-down on the floor.
* RearingHorse: Startled and in pain, Angel the gelding reacts to a moufreta biting his hind leg by rearing. RealityEnsues when he loses his balance and falls over backwards.

** Pointedly averted, [[CharacterizationMarchesOn in contrast to previous portrayals]], by Aseyu. [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl She quite enjoys being naked]], but failure to cover up in [[DeathWorld the jungles of Qorisa]] [[RealityEnsues can have consequences ranging from embarassing to lethal]], so her hunting outfit is BoringButPractical.

* SureLetsGoWithThat: A bandit patrol encountering Aynara and her three bandit hostages assume the captivity goes the other way around and that Black Morgan will soon have his way with her. Aynara telepathically threatens the hostages to play along with the misunderstanding until the patrol leaves.

* PinchMe: Thinking that she might be dreaming or in the Simulacra, Caroline looks twice at the bulletin board to see if an advertisement changed while she was looking away. Then she presses the pointy end of a nail against herself. Soryn notices and points out that he and at least one other person has felt pain in dreams before, so one of her dream tests is faulty.
