%% * CanadaEh: Douglas Ashton

* CurbStompBattle: Illyria does this to [[AssholeVictim Caleb]]

%% * ByronicHero: Illyria as HumanityEnsues increases

* CrapsackWorld: It's often mentioned that in the vast multiverse, many of the apocalypses prevented by the Scooby Gang and Angel Investigation teams have happened. In the sixth story the Slayer Organization visits an AlternateUniverse where Warren succeeded in killing Buffy as well killing Willow accidently, allowing the First Evil to win his campaign against the Slayer line and slaughter all the potential except for AxCrazy Dana ''[[UpToEleven and]]'' unleashing thousands of Turok Han after opening the Hellmouth.

* AllNationsAreSuperpowers: Factions in the supernatural world, anyway. The Slayer Organization, with its superior firepower, mystical prowness and knowledge of the future quickly establish itself as a rival faction to [[EvilLawyerJoke Wolfram and Hart]]

* BackFromTheDead: The Senior Partners ressurect [[spoiler:Glory]]

--> '''Illyria''': You were not elected, you are [[ChosenOne no longer unique]] but [[TheChosenMany merely one of thousands]]. Your leadership status is based on tradition rather than proven aptitude. Do you perceive yourself as mandated from heavan to rule perhaps? Divine right of Kings? You are in charge merely because it is accepted by the others that you are, do not assume this will always be the case.

* BrutalHonesty: Illyria, which is why she forms a friendship with Anya
* ByronicHero: Illyria as HumanityEnsues increases
* CanadaEh: Douglas Ashton

* TheChosenOne: Much like in canon, intially played straight and later subverted

* DivineDate: Wesley with Illyria

* FlatWhat: Buffy says this when Fred tells her Illyria's origins
* ForScience: Fred and Knox, and Illyria too though she's only opportunistic because of science's superior firepower
* FinalSolution: Subverted with the Slayer Organization which only targets demons that pose a threat to humans. [[spoiler:Played straight in the BadFuture where humanity is nearly extinct throughtout the multiverse with only a few Earths remaining intact]]

* GunNut: Wesley, as well most of male characters and some Slayers.
* GroinAttack: How Faith defeats [[spoiler:Dark!Wesley]]

* IntimidatingRevenueService: Parodied and played straight. When Dawn visits a CrapsackWorld AlternateUniverse, she finds out that her alt-Dawn has an IRS letter and agrees with Connor that she should not let it go iddle because the IRS is not something you want to mess with. [[spoiler:Also there was a NoodleIncident regarding tax dodging sorcerers whose fallout has made Wolfram and Hart unwilling to go up against the IRS]]

* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Illyria takes great pleasure in telling the Aztek demon [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/AngelS05E06TheCautionaryTaleOfNumeroCinco Tezcatcalt]], an Aztek demon which is reborn every fifty years and could only remain on Earth permanently if found its talisman or consumed a Champion's heart, that she will look foward to kill him every fifty years, and that he had no hope because she will hid his talisman in her [[EldritchLocation temple]].

* MugglesDoItBetter: With Illyria's instence, the Potentials/Slayers start using guns

** [[spoiler:Glory counts too]] though she was ultimately defeated and recieved a humiliating enslavement.

* SupervillainLair: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. The Slayer Organization builts its own lair on the grounds of the vineyard (which was outside of Sunnydale thus didn't fell into the crater), complete with bunkers, a ''freaking'' moat around it, and Buffy's office has a [[ClicheStorm trapdoor to send away unwanted guests]]

* {{Troperiffic}}: Yeah, just look at how many Villain tropes are inverted, subverted and played with. A lot of the good characters fit perfectly in what we could consider normally villainious groups

* WarGoddess: Pretty much what fundamentaly Illyria is. [[spoiler:Her daughter from the future, Enyo, also counts]]

* WhatTheHellHero: Illyria is not amused at Buffy's oposing DisasterDemocracy

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: Illyria blames this trope for her HumanityEnsues problems

* [[{{KingArthur}} King Arthur]]: It turns out that Illyria is [[spoiler: King Arthur.]] It sounds awesome until you realize that [[spoiler: Wesley is Queen Guinevere and Faith is Lancelot]] and that in the end Camelot is destroyed. Thankfully Illyria plans to ScrewDestiny

* MotiveRant: Her ranting about the uselessness of the leadership of the side of Good foreshadows Illyria's intent to wipe out evil [[spoiler:in the multiverse]]. See below
