History Fanfic / HunterUnwelcomeStorm

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Taylor's memory is impaired by Insight - she cannot remember things, places and actions she's seen or done under the influence of too much of it. While at the moment it's no issue, when trying to remember it later it only comes out as MissingTime. [[spoiler:For instance, she does not recall ever giving Sophia that vial...]]

* Foreshadowing: [[spoiler:Taylor notes in '''Taylor (6)''' that her father [[EmptyShell enjoys watching the blank screen of the TV]] almost as much as the news.]]

** [[spoiler: After '''Taylor (14)''' he starts blaming himself for both Sophia ''and'' Talyor, believing that he could have stopped things from escalating if he had noticed what was happening sooner. He also [[MotiveRant reveals ]]to Dauntless that he always feels responsible whenever something happens to Protectorate and Wards members under his command.]]

* BloodLust: [[spoiler:Sophia's descent into insanity started when Taylor gave her a vial of her blood. She kept looking at it, moreso when she realized the extremely odd behavior of the blood. Eventually she gave into temptation and drank of the vial. By the time she finished drinking it -and become dependent on it as a doping agent - she had enough Insight to call up the Messengers and have them steal Armsmaster's sample. Eventually her consumption of Yharnam blood led to her transformation into a Cleric Beast.]]

** Because she's tied to the Moon Presence through the Dream, when she's back on Brockton Bay she's not right in the head. [[spoiler:Which is why she never noticed what happened to her father until it was too late.]]

* DetectEvil: Taylor words her <Impurity> Rune so that she can perceive those that meet her definition of corrupted ([[BloodKnight Enjoyment of violence]] and disregard for the lives of others), making them seem to glow in her view regardless of obstacles. [[spoiler:When she sees it on herself after her rampage in Brockton Bay, it makes it clear that by her own definition she had become evil.]]

-->I only stopped because I could not run anymore.

* HeelRealization: Taylor [[spoiler:realizes that she's the bad guy in '''Taylor (14)''', just before she ''nearly'' kills Assault, and does kill several PRT Troopers and Police.]]
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Taylor realizes she runs the risk of falling into this with realizing it during '''Taylor (10)'''.

* CopKiller: [[spoiler:Between her involvement in Sophia's death and actually cutting down PRT Troopers and Police trying to route her in ''Taylor (14)''', Taylor is treated as this.]]

* HeelRealization: Taylor [[spoiler:realizes that she's the bad guy in '''Taylor (14)''', just before she ''nearly'' kills Assault, and several PRT Troopers and Police.]]

* ShellShockedVeteran: Djura, as evident in his talks with Taylor. He might've stopped dreaming, but he never did escape the Hunt.

* AteHisGun: Taylor does this '''Taylor (14)''', right in front of the PRT. [[JustifiedTrope She wanted to go back to the Hunter's Dream.]]

* HeelRealization: Taylor [[spoiler:realizes that she's the bad guy in '''Taylor (14)''', just before she ''nearly'' kills Assault.]]

* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Armsmaster considers Sophia's ultimate fate his fault.]]

* AntiHero: Taylor. Despite her well-meaning attempt

* EnemyMine: [[AvertedTrope Not in the Taylor vs Hookwolf rematch.]] The PRT attempts to arrest both of them.

* EnemyMine: Averted in the Taylor vs Hookwolf rematch. Rather than teaming up with her to take down Hookwolf, the Protectorate instead fight both of them and get in her way.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The Protectorate capes in a nutshell, any time Taylor/Bloodmoon is involved. Best demonstrated when Velocity foams her... just in time to leave her helpless when Hookwolf drops by.

* SerialKiller: The PRT has pretty much decided that Taylor is one. They're not exactly wrong, since she goes out to hunt GangBangers during the [[{{Lunacy}} Full Moon]]. The problem is, they seem to care more about taking ''her'' down than the scum she's hunting.

* ImplacableMan: '''Taylor.''' You cannot stop her. You cannot kill her. If she wants you dead, you will be hunted and slaughtered.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The Protectorate capes in a nutshell, any time Taylor/Bloodmoon is involved.

--> It was not quite three stories tall, but it seemed to loom far larger. It was animalistic in appearance, in the same distorted way a carnival mirror's reflection is still humanoid. Its limbs were too long, it's hands just a little too like hands and not paws, its eyes a little too aware. Its scream was high and desperate. It was a human girl's scream, birthed in a throat framed by too many teeth.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Hookwolf kills Taylor in '''Brockton Bay (2)''' by turning himself into what amounted to a wood-chipper and then lunging for her while she was bound.

* ImplacableMan: '''Taylor!''' You cannot stop her. You cannot kill her. If she wants you dead, you will be hunted and slaughtered.

* InvisibleToNormals: Things like the Messengers can't be perceived by those without enough Insight, [[spoiler:as evidenced in '''PRT (4)''' when a video footage shown to several others only show thing floating on their own.]]

* LosingYourHead: [[spoiler:Hookwolf lost his metal head when the Boom Hammer hit it hard enough to explode, but remained alive until she found the core.]]
* LudicrousGibs: What was left when Hookwolf killed Taylor. [[spoiler:She returned the favor later on with the Boom Hammer.]]

* SerialKiller: The PRT has pretty much decided that Taylor is one. They're not exactly wrong since she goes out to hunt GangBangers during the [[{{Lunacy}} Full Moon]].

* TheNoseKnows: In the very first chapter, Sophia manages to smell a number of scents off of Taylor... including one that shouldn't exist.
