* DidntThinkThisThrough: One has to wonder what was going through his head for him to think that stealing from a 2000+ year old dragon would be a good idea, once he was made aware of the fact that that was who they were trying to steal from. Predictably things didn't go well for him.

Trope was added back in as word of god confirmed the outcome that had happened in chapter 22 and 23, happened precisely because of Reni's lack of magical knowledge.

Added DiffLines:

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler: As Chapter 22/23 demonstrated, Clovis's magical knowledge, and experience using magic, is far greater than Reni's at present, thus despite her natural magic being incredibly powerful, once Clovis had the means to directly oppose her, there was nothing she could do to defend herself against the specific magic he used against her, as her experience with using her powers was limited.]]

* AmbiguouslyBi: Maddie starts out with a massive crush on Keith, but once she's off the island she expresses curiosity regarding Seraphina's exposed chest and becomes flustered when Karen accidentally flirts with her after getting a tail.



* FalseRapeAccusation: Maddie tells Trace and Flora that Erik tried to molest her, but his protestations of innocence and her smirk while hugging them indicate she's lying in order to avoid being sent back to the brig.



* {{Squick}}: shows up in her expression InUniverse as she listens to a PrimalScene while hiding under Trace and Flora's bed.

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: He sold out his own kind to aid the Templars plans to get a powerful amulet, and attempted to murder/cut ties with the only person who genuinely cared about him, so he wouldn't have any distractions. All so he could steal Reni's power for himself, become a dragon, and become an unstoppable force that could do whatever he wanted. He momentary succeeds in his plan, however the efforts of the cast, and Natani blindsiding him with a magic spell he didn't anticipate, causes him to lose the amulet that gave him the means to pull of what he did, Reni breaking free from his imprisonment and obliterating his mind in retaliation, having no allies to speak of as he either killed them or sold them out, and losing all the power he attempted to take for himself forever leaving him in the form of a small powerless lizard.]]



* OnlyInItForTheMoney: His core motivation for anything, according to Zen and Natani. [[spoiler: Chapter 21 to 22 reveal his main goal was to obtain power, precisely the power of a dragon, so no one would be able to stand against him, and so that wouldn't need to rely on anyone anymore, as he would have the means to do whatever he wanted.]]

* ArmoredClosetGay: He retains enough of his original identity that he does find men (or at least [[IfItsYouItsOkay Keith]]) attractive. Acting on that attraction, however, is mentally repulsive to him, since the bulk of his mentality is transplanted from Zen, a staunchly heterosexual male. Until Keith ultimately acts as a ClosetKey for him.

As of Chapter 22, however, the soul link has been severed and Natani has reintegrated with his 'young girl' self, so how this affects him is still to be seen.

* EyeColourChange: The color of his eyes reflects the state of his soul and the mind link with his brother. He was born with two brown eyes, but after he underwent the [[MentalFusion mind link with Zen]], his right eye switched to grey, reflecting the damage his soul had taken. When Zen uses the link to speak to Flora and Keith through him the right eye goes brown again, as it's Zen's (un-fractured) soul looking out through Natani's eyes at that point. When the mind link was severed due to Zen being placed in a magic-suppressing shackle, both eyes went grey as his soul crashed without the support of the link. They remained that way during his JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind, where his feminine-aspect younger self still sports two brown eyes. When he wakes back up after reconciling with his other half, his eyes have gone back to the normal one grey one brown, reflecting how, despite his still-fractured soul, he's learned to stand on his own even without the link. [[spoiler:After Clovis shatters the link completely, Natani is forced to use their rebuilt connection to their soul fragments to undergo a SplitPersonalityMerge. When Natani recovers consciousness, both eyes are brown.]]

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Due to the circumstances regarding his memory loss, it was understandable that Trace didn't quite realize how hurtful it was to effectively abandon Nora after she saved him and being injured as a result. With his reasoning being he cares about his friends more than keeping her company despite what she did for him, completely oblivious to the fact that he's saying this to someone who was more or less his closest companion and friend before he lost his memory. It took Nora pointing this out for Trace to realize how shitty it was for to do that, without even once considering Nora's feelings, and truly grasping what she went through for his sake.

* ShipperOnDeck: She may fancy Trace herself, but she also helped him out with courting his first wife Saria and encouraged him to enjoy the time he has with Flora.
* StoryBreakerPower: Lady Nora is one of the oldest and most powerful characters in the setting, being one of the oldest dragons and all. If she wasn't [[PutOnABus forced to go into a deep slumber]] to regain her strength after rescuing Trace and a fatally-wounded Laura from an exploding magic tower, Trace and co. probably would have reached Lyn'knoll already without having to worry about any other threats.

* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Due to being a 2000+ with power that far surpasses practically anyone, she can do whatever the heck she wants, when she wants, with nobody really having the means to stop her. She also has no respect for the masks "rules" and does whatever she wants to do in their world, regardless of how they feel. This is something that extends to most dragons in general.
