Added DiffLines:

* PsychoSupporter: Jennifer is an interesting example. Sedge's [[spoiler:traumatic experiences]] at least give him a FreudianExcuse for becoming an assassin. Jennifer, on the other hand, [[spoiler:seems to be just psychopathic and finds herself genuinely enjoying their job]] despite herself.

Added DiffLines:

* TheBladeAlwaysLandsPointyEndIn: Discussed when Sedge explains to Jennifer that throwing knives almost never works because of how difficult it is to get it to lend pointy-end-in. Ultimately averted, as Sedge is the only one who throws knives throughout the book, and indeed every single time it lands point-end-in.

''The Fledgling Assassin'' is an upcoming Novel by writer Arc.fish.

Jennifer is an unassuming high school girl who has trouble understanding the people around her and feels like she doesn’t belong. However, when her police detective dad comes a little too close to catching a notorious assassin nicknamed The Winged Death, he kidnaps the girl and threatens her father to leave him alone – only for both perpetrator and victim to realize Jennifer may fit into the role of assassin better than she ever fit into her normal life.
