* BadassNormal: Billy may be just a kid, but he still takes on being that would terrify most people.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour: Billy has done a lot more questionable things in his young life than most people in fifty years, and if he still expresses concern and fear over his and his friends' security, he will rarely bat an eye while committing gruesome murders. The fact that he knew that he would see most of the people he lived with die of the Iron Plague and be one of the only survivors, and then had to take care of the bodies of dozens of people, including his mother's, probably had some effect on his view of mortality.

* HorrifyingHero: Let's see: she is a thin smiling woman with empty eye sockets and a flaming halo above her head, dressed in white and gold bloodstained clothes, and who wields a sword and a shield, both partially covered with flesh from where a single eye emerges. And yet she is one one of the kindest god in Erenner.



One of the thirteen major gods of Erenner, she is associated with the sixth month of the year. She is the goddess of Pleasures and Twilight, but she is also associated with irresponsability, debauchery and forgetfullness.
