When put under MRI, even her perfect brain scan leaves the doctors in awe.

* UnexplainedRecovery: She lands on several construction rods, gives a DyingDeclarationOfLove, and gets buried.

Then she finally gets to die by electrocution.

* MagneticHero: Considering how much of {{Asshole Victim}}s her (intended) targets tend to be, this hasn't gone unnoticed by normal citizens and she gains a few allies on her quest. By Part 2 Pumpkin Night has become sort of an "idol" of UsefulNotes/TheDeepWeb with small cult following.

* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: When about to get buried by Naruto and his father, she stars yelling how she'll return from hell to get them. It certainly left an impression to Arata, and this technically turned out true.

* VillainProtagonist: Thought to be the BigBad at first, but after her backstory gets revealed, the story moves to her perspective.
