* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Deconstructed. Kaya begins as this to Miyo, having beauty, social aptitude, and a gift. However, this has less to do with innate virtues than with Kaya having opportunities (and basic human decency) that Miyo was denied, which becomes increasingly clear as Miyo begins to physically and mentally heal in the Kudou household. [[spoiler:This is ultimately subverted after the fall of the Saimoris, followed by the awakening of Miyo's more powerful gift.]]

* EntitledToHaveYou: She sets [[spoiler:the kidnapping of Miyo in motion]] mainly because she believes that she is entitled to have better things in life than Miyo. This is first seen when she clearly draws joy from being told that she will be marrying Kouji, Miyo's childhood friend, and the boy she'd been raised believing she would one day marry. As soon as she finds out that Kiyoka is actually kind and very handsome, she decides she wants him instead and is pretty shocked when her father doesn't immediately give in to her demands, as though Kiyoka were nothing more than a pretty dolly in a toy shop.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: She wouldn't have ended up in her current situation had she kept her envy in check. First, if she hadn't stolen Koji from Miyo, she probably would have just married into a different noble household and the only thing she would have lost would have been the ability to outright abuse Miyo and get away with it scot-free. Second, if she had settled for Koji even after finding out that Kiyoka was actually handsome and quite kind, she would have gone on to live as the lady of the Saimori household with Miyo being out of the picture anyway. [[spoiler:Instead, she has to steal Kiyoka by kidnapping Miyo, and this leads to the collapse of her family, her fiancé becoming outright hostile towards her, and him deciding to use his status to punish her. In the end, she is consigned to the lifestyle Miyo endured prior to moving out to the Kudous: working as a servant to a family that will tolerate no mistake.]]
* {{Seers}}: She has the Spirit-Sight ability which lets her see Grotesquerie and remotely view locations by connecting her vision with a shikigami charm. The aftermath of the kidnapping incident reveals these are all the powers she [[BreakTheHaughty will ever]] have.

* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: While the light novel keeps stating the Saimoris treated Miyo like a servant, the light novel clearly states they didn’t pay her for her services, which is why she could never afford to move out. At best that would be indentured servitude at worse that could be considered slavery. Kiyoka and others who learn of how they treated her are quite repulsed by this.

* LoveIsAWeakness: In chapter 15 of the manga, when Kiyoka Kudo comes to rescue Miyo Saimori, he asks Shinichi Saimori if he even loves Miyo. Not only does Shinichi Saimori make it clear that he never loved her, but he believes that love is a useless emotion and that he only cares about what he can get from Miyo. While not stated, it is heavily implied that his so-called love for his other daughter, Kaya Saimori, is very conditional, and he could’ve easily felt disdain for Kaya if he had also deemed her useless.

* DramaticIrony: Fuyu goes out of her way to throw snide comments at Miyo ''constantly''; however, Miyo has been so abused in her past, verbally, physically, mentally, and physically that not only is she used to it, but Fuyu's snide comments are ''tame'' in comparison. Not only that, Miyo's previous abuse help her see through Fuyu's childish comments, and realize they aren't as mean spirited as they sound.

They were expecting her to be thrown out at some point, so they were all surprised that Kiyoka wished to formalize his engagement rather than complain about her apparent shortcomings. They also certainly didn’t expect him to demand them to apologize to Miyo for their harsh treatment towards her.

She makes it clear how “ugly” and unworthy she finds Miyo as her son’s fiancée, but Kiyoka cuts her off and threatens to kill her if she continues to speak ill of Miyo. Once Miyo begs for her approval, she forces her to be a servant to win her approval but continues to criticize Miyo over every little thing.

* {{Foil}}: To Miyo's stepmother, Kanoko. While both are domineering and harsh women to Miyo, that's really where the similarities between them stop. Kanoko was a shallow, envy-driven piece of work whose life purpose was kicking Miyo around as her RevengeByProxy and lording her supposed superior status and privilege over others. Fuyu on the other hand is motivated by much more sympathetic reasons as she is primarily concerned about her family and its stability, but her words and actions are unfortunately filtered through a haughty personality borne from being a well-bred aristocrat. Thankfully, Miyo was able to pick up on the subtle difference between the two women in her interactions with Fuyu.
