* {{Angrish}}: According to Jess, Renée starts to become incomprehensible when she's angry thanks to her accent going out of control. Though this being Jess, they may have been trolling her.

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Typically, the heroes who treat Gambit with the most hostility have a very narrow perception of good and evil. Renée even tells Dennis that people only see the world in terms of Heroics and Villainy due to how the PRT and Protectorate set up the system.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Both Director Simmons and Director Piggot tend to be more lenient with Gambit than they are with other criminals. Simmons even accuses Piggot of liking her! It also helps that Gambit herself is affable and polite with them when the more zealous Wards and heroes aren't going after her.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Taylor/Renée is far more confident and extroverted than she was in canon, making her very charismatic. She's also shown to be more flirty and perverted, mainly in her interactions with Clockblocker.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None

Added DiffLines:

* ComesGreatResponsibility: Renée actually hates how most heroes and society have this mindset. People expect those with powers to become heroes who save and protect them. If not, they tend to be demonized and treated as villains. To Renée, a person is free to do as they choose, and having powers doesn't immediately make them obligated to serving the public through fighting villains. That's a choice they need to make for themselves.

None

Added DiffLines:

* OpenMindedParent: Danny's either this or apathetic to his daughter's criminal activities after finding out the truth. He doesn't mind her inviting other villains to his house to gamble or piss off the Wards. Generally, the most he'll do is enter "I'm so done with this shit" mode and get exasperated.

Added DiffLines:

* DemotedToExtra: Because Sofia and Emma aren't part of Taylor's backstory here, they hardly have any significance in the overall story.

Added DiffLines:

* FantasticRacism: Renée talks with Dennis about how people with powers are dehumanized by the term "parahuman". She also brings up the Bad Canary case, where the fact that she was being stalked, harassed, and that what she did to her stalker was accidental are completely brushed aside just because people are afraid of her powers.
