* CatchPhrase: She seems to say "Uzee" quite often. Mostly LostInTranslation though, as the translation of the word can change with the context; it roughly means "annoying".

* ArtificialHuman: According to an anti-mystery perspective. [[spoiler:From an anti-fantasy perspective, it's subverted: the reason why Shannon doesn't consider herself human is because as Yasu, [[AmbiguousGender he/she]] has injuries from when he/she fell off the cliff that damaged his/her body in some way. As a result, Yasu believes he/she has "a body that can't love", which makes him/her practically subhuman (which is why Shannon and Kanon refer to themselves as "furniture").]]

* MeaningfulName: ''Bateleur'' is French for a stage magician, someone who uses mundane means to create the illusion of magic (and it also serves as a [[TarotMotifs Tarot Motif]], since the Magician card is known as ''Le Bateleur'' in French) while ''Battler'' is not too far from what he actually does: battle (with witches and demons), and to take it even further the kanji in his name literally mean "fighting person".
