* HatesWearingDresses: Lorna, to the point where it's almost a running gag. She's a mechanic by trade, and her initial mode of transportation is a motorcycle, and she sees dresses as completely impractical outside of formal occasions. She feels quite awkward and uncomfortable on the handful of occasions she does wear a dress.

*BeenThereShapedHistory: Avathar and, to a lesser extent, [[spoiler:Sharley]]. Avathar, among other things, engineered both the rise and fall of Nazi Germany. An amnesiac [[spoiler:Sharley]] spent eighteen thousand years wandering the Americas, inadvertently working her way into the mythologies of dozens of indigenous nations.
Added DiffLines:
* HeelFaceTurn: Avathar has one eventually, after he [[AccidentalMarriage inadvertently]] marries a young Icelandic woman who has no idea who or what he is. He resists in at first, but marriage among Elves and the Ainur forms a spiritual bond that affects him whether he likes it or not, and he comes to realize the sheer magnitude of all the awful shit he’s done over the course of his extremely long life, and it leaves him silently all but crippled by guilt. [[spoiler:Sauron]] undergoes one as well, over the course of the millennia; he slowly manages to regain physical form, but, although it’s technically immortal, it’s unable to heal from any damage it takes, and his vastly weakened telepathic ability forces him to hide among the very poor. The other characters are understandably skeptical when he’s discovered, but he voluntarily returns to Valinor to face judgment.
Added DiffLines:
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:Sharley]] has a somewhat complicated version. She had her mind smashed so many times in Angband that it splintered, and one of the splinters became the Stranger, a [[SoulEating soul eater]] who snacked on the spirits of Sauron, Avathar, and even Morgoth, and [[LaserGuidedAmnesia wiped]] her memory not only of Angband, but of her entire identity. It’s powerful enough to make her appear entirely human to Elves and even other Ainur. It’s not evil so much as amoral, and self-programmed to keep [[spoiler:Sharley]] safe and hidden at all costs. Several people, including [[spoiler:Sharley]] herself, realize just how fortunate the world is that the Stranger had no interest in amassing power and influence, or it would have been a far greater nightmare than Avathar could have hoped to be.
