** Half-angels are normally all but indistinguishable from pure-blooded angels.angels save for their magic and wings developing during puberty instead of before it. Luz having the same eye and hair colors as her canon self's before bonding to the light glyph is noted by Rasiel to be highly unusual, and tied to whatever made her DelicateAndSickly as a child. According to author notes, this is because magical genes dominate non-magical genes, when Luz and Amity have kids they'd be more even hybrids, having both angel wings ''and'' a witch bile sack.



** Basilisks breeding with other species leads to new variants of Basilisks instead of normal hybrids. For instance, Vee's initial subspecies of Golden-Eyed Basilisks originally came about when some Amphibious Basilisks mated with witches.



** Angels start as Cherubs with [[WingsDoNothing useless wings]] and limited powers, with pure-blooded angels usually growing full wings and coming into their powers around puberty, with more powerful angels gaining more wings up until Seraphim, who have eight. This is connected because Angel wings passively absorb energy from ambient sources to fuel their magical abilities, and their feathers have potent mystical properties, along with their tears, especially in regards to healing. Their power and number of wings is also tied to their lifespans, regular Angels have a lifespan of around 1000 years, High Angels about 3000 with their four wings, and Seraphim are TheAgeless. Some Seraphim can rarely go beyond eight wings to ten, upon which they gain CompleteImmortality, though there's apparently an upper limit on how many can exist at once.

** Amity also starts out as a much nicer person, not having a lot of her meaner spirted moments from canon like trying to get Luz dissected or crushing King's cupcake.
** Similarly, Skara becomes a lot nicer after her first appearance, and is implied to only have been a bully due to her friendship with Boscha.

Added DiffLines:

* DivergingEvolutionaryPhases: Basilisks are unique in many ways, one of which being that they can undergo a physical change that reflects on what type of magic they typical eat. Subject Zero (the basilisk that attacked Hexside) was a Greater Basilisk, a species that comes about from eating various different types of magic throughout its lifetime. Vee winds up becoming a Quetzalcoatl Basilisk after eating enough angelic magic through Luz and Camilla's angelic blessings.

Added DiffLines:

* FreakinessShame: Being part Snow Leopard Cait Sith, Viney has fur on her legs, paws instead of feet, and a tail. Due to bullying as a child, she covers up these features whenever possible. The only reason Jerbo, Barcus, or Luz found out is because she was so stubborn about it that she overheated herself.


Added DiffLines:

* GenderFlip: In this AU Eberwolf is female, both biologically and in terms of gender identity, but uses male pronouns in public due to her father's pack, as he was a Direwolve, a type of Beast demon, and she would have been killed for being so small and a half-breed if her witch mother hadn't claimed that she was a boy.


Added DiffLines:

** Due to her Cait Sith blood, Viney can use a spell that transforms her into a humanoid feline, increasing her strength and physical abilities, at the cost of making it harder to cast spells.


Added DiffLines:

* LittleBitBeastly: While her upper half looks like an ordinary witch, Viney's Cait Sith blood means that she has furry legs, a tail, and paws instead of feet.


Added DiffLines:

* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid:
** In this AU Eberwolf's father was a Direwolf and their mother a witch.
** Viney has a witch parent and a Biped demon called a Cait Sith for her other parent. This results in her having snow leopard-like fur on her lower body, paws, and a tail.


Added DiffLines:

* TheSpeechless: The Silver Sentinel, while capable of making sounds like giggles, seemingly cannot speak, using sign language to communicate instead. Interestingly, it's ''American'' sign language, so Luz is familiar with it, and pretends otherwise in her fight with the Silver Sentinel and Hunter so that she can know what they're planning.

** Viney goes from a witch to a witch/demon hybrid.

* SweetPollyOliver: While Eberwolf is female (both at birth and by identity), she lets everyone think she's a male because Direwolf demons are a patriarchal society. [[HalfBreedDiscrimination She gets enough flack for being a Biped demon]] and she's worked harder than she should have to earn the respect of her pack, so them finding out that she's female would be TheLastStraw.

* DelicateAndSickly: Camilla reveals that not only was Luz born prematurely, but she lacked any natural magic (a condition that was fatal to angels) and had to be continuously be replenished via angelic blessings from Camilla. When she finds out that Luz was away in the Demon Realm and not getting her blessings all those months, she's understandably devastated at the thought that she could have died from it.


Added DiffLines:

* FeatheredSerpent:
** Quetzalcoatls are a species of dragon native to the Divine Realm. Angels have apparently learned to tame them and use them as high-speed vehicles similar to human fighter-jets.
** Quetzalcoatl Basilisks are a subspecies of basilisk from the Boiling Isles that result when a basilisk feeds on enough angel magic. While they look like adolescent quetzalcoatls, it is a purely aesthetic resemblance and they can passively feed on magic through their wings like angels can. [[spoiler: Vee winds up metamorphozing into one after being fed enough angel magic via blessings from Camilla (who thought she was Luz at the time) and Luz (who offered it to her freely).]]


Added DiffLines:

* SicklyChildGrewUpStrong: With the reveal that Luz was born prematurely and was dangerously stunted developmentally (according to angelic anatomy, anyway), [[spoiler: her metamorphosing into an archangel in just under three months certainly qualifies]].

** We learn that the reason that Vee is more of a CuteMonsterGirl than the other basilisks is that she's a Golden-Eyed Basilisk, whose subspecies has the aforementioned golden eyes, a slightly more humanoid upper torso, a particularly sharp nose when it comes to magic even by basilisk standards, and a more docile temperament. We also learn how Vee and the other two basilisks escaped, the Emperor's Coven was performing tests by forcing them to drain Conformatorium prisoners, but the Greater Basilisk/Zero wasn't satisfied and ended up draining some of the guards, and ended up draining the magical keys to their chains.

We also learn that Basilisk sub-species are the result of them adapting as a result of the magic that they feed off of, and that Basilisks are genderless by default but can have gender identities, like how Vee uses feminine pronouns and prefers female forms.



** Camila never told Luz about her ICantLiveWithoutYou issues, disguising their days when she'd top off her magic with an angelic blessing as simple mother-daughter bonding days, because she didn't want to make Luz feel worse about things. As a result, Luz could have died if she hadn't bonded with the light glyph, since Camila was blessing Vee instead.

* CantLiveWithoutYou: For some reason Luz's angel side was stunted, leaving her unable to produce her own magic before bonding to the light glyph, with only a ''lot'' of healing magic allowing Luz to be born at all. As a result, Camila had to give Luz magic via an angelic blessing once a month to keep her alive.

* ForWantOfANail:
** Luz frees ALL the prisoners at the Conformatorium instead of just the three she talks to, sparking a full battle between the guards and escapees.
** Luz learns the Light Glyph after being blinded by a flash at the Conformatorium, and immediately bonds with it and unlocks her light magic to defeat Warden Wrath and save King and Eda.
** Luz being used to magic and being more empathetic results in her having an easier time selling potions in Bonesborough, making a lot of snails for Eda.
** Luz isn't tricked by Adegast, instead seeing through his illusions and trying to leave.
** Instead of disguising herself as an abomination to help Willow and sneak into Hexside, Luz helps Willow improve her abomination and gives her the seed from the Trash Slug to further improve it, then attends the school herself as a welcome guest.
** Willow's improved abomination earns a pass, but doesn't surpass Amity's, so Amity remains the top student and isn't hostile to Luz. Instead, Luz outshining Boscha in potions class makes Boscha hostile instead.
** Luz isn't banned from Hexside, and is instead welcomed to come back by Principal Bump, on the condition she helps clean up the mess she helped make.
** Luz's attempts to use her tears to help Eda make a cure for her curse results in Eda's Owl Beast becoming stronger and attacking Bonesborough.
** Luz does much better in her duel with Amity, and actually manages to win without cheating, albeit through Amity forfeiting.
** [[spoiler:Philip's diary is found far earlier, during the Wailing Star event, while Luz is looking for books on angels and glyphs.]]
** As Luz isn't banned from Hexside, Gus doesn't have to sneak her in on the second visit, and Luz gets to enjoy another trial day there, attending classes like normal.
** Because of the troubles caused by the Detention Pit, the Grudgby game with Glandus is cancelled, and Luz does not steal Owlbert or anger the Bat Queen by injuring him.
** Thanks to Rasiel and Hooty being present, Tibbles gets eaten by the latter at the carnival when the former recognizes his Shrinking potion for what it is.
** Luz is absent from the field trip, and doesn't try to take the Healing Hat.
** [[spoiler:Raine splits the curse alongside Lilith, which lets the three of them still use a little magic on their own without Luz's [[SuperEmpowering Divine Blessing]].]]
