* KaleidoscopeEyes: Wisp very nearly takes it UpToEleven, as practically every major emotion for her has different-colored eyes. Considering the severity of Wisp's mood swings, it's ''very hard'' to tell what color her eyes are normally supposed to be - Which would be not-so-nasty, orange HellishPupils. These are what ''seem'' to be definitive for her:

* UnstoppableRage: It's easy to blow his fuse. [[spoiler:As in, when he was blocking Mace's locker and ignored requests to move, Mace grabbed his scarf and pulled him down to get his attention. Bast's inevitable response was to punch him in the face. Throwing him into a locker. On the other side of the hallway...And after that, he went to ''beat Mace up more.'']]

* BreakTheCutie: Tinsel ''seems'' to put tormenting Wisp above any other goals at the moment Wisp is present or a good plan comes to her. From what's been seen of their interactions, Tinsel lies continuously to Wisp and will say anything to sadden/scare her.
