* CharacterDevelopment: She spends the first half of the game incredibly cold and irritable to anyone who isn't ''immediately'' willing to help her find the Overseer songs, and this anger initially gets exacerbated when the Bard tags along with her. Their infectious happiness, their tendency to make friends without batting an eye, to go off on seemingly unneccessary "sidequests" ''and'' finding the songs anyway fuels feelings of self-doubt and uselessness in her. After [[spoiler:the Bard has their HeroicBSOD at the hands of Audrey]], they come to a mutual understanding over their feelings, realizing the two of them have more in common than she thought. This leads to Miriam being more receptive to doing "side quests" with the Bard, and this involvement grows with her increasing willingness to be more open about herself and her feelings, bonding with the Bard at moments like The Crater club in Mohabumi and the beginning of Act 7 [[spoiler:after their seperation for the entirety of Act 6 thanks to her taking a debilitating hit from Audrey]].

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Before they all reveal themselves, their eyes glow. [[spoiler:When they become corrupted, their eyes still remain glowing.]]
* FisherKing: The realm of each overseer is shaped by their own mind, with each world having appropriate aesthetics to match (Orderscape takes the form of [[EternalEngine a gigantic factory]], Chaoscape evokes UnderTheSea, etc). This also applies in part to any person who enters the spirit world, as it warps around each person's mind alongside the overseer's and forms different layouts depending on that person, like platforming puzzles for the Bard [[spoiler:or ([[AmbiguousSituation implicitly]]) monsters to get in the way of Audrey]]. The shifting nature of these spaces makes it impossible for anyone to find each other except at the overseer's castle, which acts as a "center" to every Spirit-scape.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Before they all reveal themselves, their eyes glow. [[spoiler:When they become corrupted, their eyes still remain glowing.]]
* LayeredWorld: The Spirit world as a whole is stated to permeate the physical world, as the two are linked and [[spoiler:the destruction of the Spirit world spells doom for the entire world]]. Nexus points are places where the line between the two worlds blurs, allowing travel between the two with the appropriate song.

* GivingUpTheGhost: PlayedWith; Hala herself doesn't do this as she's already dead, but her being bound to the Bard's body lets her do this trope using theirs instead, which causes them great discomfort and even knocks them unconsious after meeting Rulle's King in particular.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Her form initially looks similar to the ghosts seen in Act 1[[note]]which [[DVDCommentary the hidden dev commentary]] states was intentional as a CallBack to said ghosts and their gameplay[[/note]], but she goes silent after entering the Bard's body and doesn't speak until after delivering her message to the king of Rulle. When she reveals herself, her appearance looks more human-like, she appears behind the Bard in reflections and her voice can be overheard by others.

Her spirit remained in the Frontier Inn and haunted it for an unknown length of time until the Bard found her and took her message to bring to Rulle's king. After the Bard brings her to both him and the queen of Chaandesh, she passes on and isn't seen again.]]

* SmallRoleBigImpact: They only get two scenes where they directly Despite appearing to impede the Bard's progress, and they're taken care of before long. [[spoiler:However, Bard two times in the whole game, their minor appearances presence in later scenes paint a dark picture of whatever's what's happening offscreen, from their offscreen:
** Arriving at Xiatian has several corpses of ''[[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever giant]]''corpses monsters littering the path to the city wall, each of which have claws similar to the newborn one fought alongside the Spell Squad. Part of the city wall has a big hole torn through it, meaning the monsters would've done even more damage had Audrey not been there to fight them. This implies the monsters are not only capable of growing to incredible sizes if left unchecked, but are also much more powerful than their encounters with the Bard would suggest. [[spoiler:There's also the fact that after the spirit world section at the gate end of Xiatian, to Act 5, the conversation Bard and Miriam emerge to find the Sky Temple nearly demolished by more giant-sized monsters. They've already been killed, though unlike at Xiatian [[NothingIsScarier no-one gives any mention of what happened, who fought them or how they were defeated.]]]]

The Bard also mentions this to Miriam, saying that there's monsters in Delphi "just like here". This reinforces the fact that the witches of Chaandesh are ''not'' to blame for the monsters' creation like Rulle fears, as well as [[spoiler:how the monsters are [[AmbiguousSituation (possibly)]] appearing throughout the world wherever an Overseer was killed]].

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: To [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]]; both are TheHero who carry [[CoolSword a legendary sword]] to fight against the source of evil in their worlds, and who are uplifted from humble beginnings into the position of TheChosenOne. What Audrey ''lacks'' in comparison to Link, however, is that Link is a HumbleHero through and through, whereas Audrey pursues her goals for glory and admiration as she loathed being "a nobody" before becoming the hero. This makes it so that the kind of determination that would serve Link in spades as he saves the world causes Audrey to be a massive ''threat'' to the world. The reveal that her actions were meant to MercyKill the world instead of save it means little to her, pursuing her goals even in the face of ''causing'' the end of everything. Even Audrey's sword bears a close resemblance to the Master Sword: they both have outward facing hilts with yellow gems embedded in the center, albeit with the Master Sword's hilt being blue and Audrey's being a reddish-pink.

Added some tropes to the Overseer folder
Added DiffLines:
* AmbiguousSituation: What ''is'' the purple symbol, and what does it represent? While all the symbols of the Spirit language (and by extension the [[CosmicKeystone Earthsong]]) have specific concepts and Overseers assigned to them either explicitly or through RuleOfSymbolism, the purple symbol has no Overseer associated with it, nor does it get mentioned by the game at all. The only indications it even exists is its proximity to all the other symbols, being used in the Act 7 title card, and being seen in the background of the conversation with Dream King in Act 1. The only thing that ''could be'' set in stone for it is the name of Nightmare, being the opposite to Dream on the wheel and [[spoiler:being the moniker of the fully corrupted Dream King]], and even then it has a few other widely discussed names such as "Storm" or "[[PowerOfTheVoid Void]]". [[note]][[WordOfGod Greg]] has stated [[https://wandersong.tumblr.com/post/689451572345913344/hey-i-finished-playing-this-game-recently-and in this official Tumblr post]] that the purple symbol could be interpreted as a full representation of TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt and destruction, as a {{Foil}} to Dreams representing the power to create things that don't exist and life itself. Though he also often mentions that [[ShrugOfGod there are no strict canon interpretations of the symbol]] and that people are free to come up with whatever interpretation they want.[[/note]]
Added DiffLines:
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Alongside each of the Overseers having their own AnimalMotifs, they're also considered to be living embodiments of the concepts they represent, such as the Queen of Winds being one for freedom and independence. At least until [[spoiler:[[TheCorruption the discord of the world]] starts taking over, which causes the Overseers to embody the ''opposite'' traits of their symbol even in the earliest stages of their corruption.]] This is [[{{Foreshadowing}} foreshadowed]] early on through the conversation between the Bard and [[spoiler:the Queen of Winds, where she is very indecisive on giving her Earthsong piece to the Bard before suddenly giving into their demands despite them being not very assertive about it. There's also afterwards when their fairy expresses their frustration at how the Queen is keeping them inside the castle more often and how she's ''supposed'' to embody freedom, mentioning that "whatever she is now isn't that anymore."]]
Added DiffLines:
* DeathOfPersonality: Played with through the later parts of the story. [[spoiler:It's mentioned that an Overseer's wellbeing is tied to the state of the world, and when they become overtaken by TheCorruption, there is no way to fix them and they have to be physically killed, as they end up becoming a monster with no semblance of what they were before. The concepts they embody, the protection they provide, their personalities, all of them decay to nothing. Giving up their piece of the Earthsong rapidly accelerates this process, and the Dream King outright refers to it as "basically another way for me to die."]]
** This starts to become subverted at [[spoiler:the climax of Act 6, where the Bard is told that the King of Hearts loved music before he turned into a beast and they may be able to be saved if the Bard sings to them. Sure enough, the fight sees them slowly revert from their corrupted form, shrinking to the size of a small dog and being pacified enough for the Bard to talk to them. [[HopeSpot It starts to look like the Overseer is able to be cured after all]] before Audrey deals the finishing blow, killing the Overseer before they had a chance to fully recover. Whether all the Overseers are capable of being cured in the same way or whether the King of Hearts was able to make a full recovery had they not been killed are both kept ambiguous.]]
