Taylor gets trapped in the locker, but the turning point is that she desires for others to "walk in her shoes". The result? She triggers not with the power to control bugs, but the power to swap bodies with other people, and finds herself in Sofia's body.

* AmazonianBeauty: When Taylor gets a good look at herself (in Sofia's body) in the mirror, she can't help but marvel at how muscular and attractive her former bully's body is.
* AssholeVictim: Sofia ends up suffering from Taylor's canon fate, only dying from it. Very few people seem to care though, as the Wards are more concerned with helping Taylor out and consider her to be far more preferable to Sofia anyway. In other words, Taylor accidentally committed a KillAndReplace, but who she's replacing is so bad that no one cares.
* BecomingTheMask: Calle tells Taylor that she's going to have to essentially ''become'' Sofia to hide her true identity and powers. [[spoiler:It starts to work a little too well, as Taylor begins to exhibit some of Sofia's trademark aggression the longer she stays in her body]].

Added DiffLines:

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Two in quick succession alert the Protectorate of Taylor's FreakyFridayFlip powers.
** Dragon notices Taylor-As-Sophia's erratic flight patterns, lack of Breaker State, raw panic, and confusion over Armsmaster's threat of electric restraints to counter the aforementioned Breaker State.
** Immediately after Taylor jumps from Sophia's body to Armsmaster's, Armsmaster-as-Sophia begins ranting about Master/Stranger Protocols and berating the PRT for their incompetence.

Added DiffLines:

** Othalla is the only Healer in Brockton Bay; this gives Empire 88 disproportionate influence in the city.
** Brandish has gone full KnightTemplar in her pursuit of justice, having [[MeaningfulRename rebranded as "Judge"]], being TheAtoner over Amy and her teammates being killed.
** Burnscar was extracted from the Slaughterhouse Nine and recruited into the Justice Brigade (this fic's equivalent of New Wave) on the grounds of mitigating circumstances.
** A literal example of this trope involves a rusty nail in the locker, that contributes to the deaths of Taylor's home body and Sophia's consciousness as much as a lack of Panacea does.


Added DiffLines:

* KlingonPromotion: Downplayed; Taylor's KillAndReplace of Sophia is treated like this by the Protectorate.


Added DiffLines:

** Brandish also got one in the backstory, as the KnightTemplar cape known as Judge.

Added DiffLines:

* KillAndReplace: Accidental version. By switching bodies with Sophia when hers was at a point of near death, Taylor winds up killing her bully by accident and is now stuck with her identity as her primary body.

None

Added DiffLines:

* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Taylor can swap bodies with anyone and even use their powers while in that body. The main power that she keeps is the ability to switch from body-to-body regardless of who she is. The power to switch bodies would be pretty useless of it was isolated to her body, which is now dead.

Added DiffLines:

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Lampshaded by a cringing Taylor when she sees Battery-as-Assault punching Assault-as-Battery. In the habitual circumstances, a small female hitting her invulnerable male partner is slapstick comedy. Genderswap the roles, and you have a well-built man flat-out hurting a more frail woman.

* PreferableImpersonator: Taylor basically ''is'' Sophia, since she has to assume her body and identity. Downplayed with the Wards since they know that and as such like Taylor for her own merits, but civilians and media start to note "Shadow Stalker" having a change of character and they find her much more approchable and nice.

* DoppelgangerGetsSameSentiment: For Carlos and Dennis. They know Taylor is very different from Sophia, but Carlos still feels uneasy around a girl with the face of a former bully and Dennis still feels attracted to Sophia's body.
* DoppelgangerReplacementLoveInterest: A slight deconstruction with Dennis. From his point of view, the hot girl he couldn't help but think attractive is now a sweeter person open to a more friendly relationship. Dean discreetly points it's actually weird and not really acknowledging Taylor as her own individual.

Taylor gets trapped in the locker, but the turning point is that she desires for others to "walk in her shoes". The result? She triggers not with the power to control bugs, but the power to swap bodies with other people, and finds herself in Sofia's body.
----
!!''Freaky Friday'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Taylor gains the power to swap bodies with people rather than control bugs. In addition, she can also use the powers of those she swaps minds with.
* BodySurf: Taylor can possess anyone on a "pseudo-line of sight" basis and swap bodies with them.
* DeathByAdaptation:
** One of the major cruxs for the story is that Amy was killed during the Brockton Bay Brigade's attack on Marquis's home.
** Because Sofia and Taylor swapped bodies when she was on the verge of death in the locker, the former Ward/bully is dead as well.
* ForWantOfANail: A lot of the changes that occur in the story can be tied back to Amy's death.
