* DangerouslyGenreSavy: The Winter Goddess is this in spades. Even with a prophecy foretelling her victory (in a world in which prophecies are always right) she ''does'' not fall into NothingCanStopUsNow territory. She continues to perceive the heroes as a threat, accurately predicts many of their moves, and avoids subjecting useful servants to YouHaveFailedMe.

* BlackandWhiteMorality: Both played straight and averted. [[spoiler:Drell and his followers [[WellIntentionedExtremist mean well]], as their only goal is to prevent an evil Goddess from conquering the world. Their methods, unfortunately, make their conflict with the heroes a case of WhiteandGrayMorality. However, the [[BigBad Winter Goddess]] and her faithful are unambiguously evil, making their conflict with the heroes a clear instance of this trope.]]



* BondVillainStupidity: The goddess chose to imprison a broken Anna rather than just kill her. WordOfGod says we will find out why this was a bad idea.

* DisproportionateRetribution: The reason the Goddess despises Anna. [[spoiler:She shared a relationship with her future incarnation and current vessel.]]

* DrunkontheDarkSide: The Goddess and her Faithful are more powerful than any "Ungifted" and revel in exerting their power abilities over them.



* FatalFlaw: Anna clearly has one, in the form of her recklessness. While her bravery is shown in a positive light, her overconfidence and inability to consider potential consequences often has disastrous results.



* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Elsa proves she is ''not'' this by killing King David in cold blood, out of vengeance for his torture of Anna.
** Anna herself plays with this trope. [[spoiler: Elsa'a apparent betrayal is enough to push her across the DespairEventHorizon and turn her into a Jerkass, but she still proves willing to fight to save the world despite all the crap it's put her through.]]



* InvincibleHero: Averted with prejudice. Anna loses battles on a regular basis and frequently fails in her goals. [[WorldsStrongestWoman Elsa]] initially has shades of this, but only until [[spoiler: her possession]].
** WordofGod has confirmed that this trope (a common occurrence in Elsanna fics) was intended to be subverted from the very beginning. Anna's first practice bout was intended to set the tone for the rest of the story. Facing off against an unsympathetic, sexist opponent, Anna appears to initially have the advantage...and then loses in perhaps the most humiliating manner possible.



* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Anna quickly latches onto Elsa for support and affection, as the Queen is the first person to show her a shred of real kindness throughout her life. By the time she officially moves into the Castle, it's clear she's become dependent on her.
** Painfully deconstructed after [[spoiler:Elsa seemingly betrays Anna.]]



* TheUnchosenOne: Anna is certainly this. She has no remarkable background, and her involvement in the plot is the result of pure chance. This is only increased by the story's central prophecy, which fails to even allude to her existence.
