* QuirkyHousehold: Gypsum's father is down to earth and takes the role of TheChick in their family dynamic. Gypsum's mother clearly wears the pants in the household, and can even be domineering at times, but her father tends to neutralize the worst of it. Since he's an [[{{Muggles}} ordinary person]] who married a witch, he's the only one in their family that doesn't have magic ability, but somehow he has enough authority to act as the voice of reason. Gypsum's siblings are all adults except for the very youngest, but only the oldest doesn't still live at home.

* MyBelovedSmother: Gypsum's mother uses magic to try to control Gypsum and get her to do things like try to lose weight (unknowingly to the point where Gypsum becomes malnourished and dehydrated) or force her to talk when she's being sullen. This [[PapaWolf enrages]] Gypsum's father.

This is apparently a family tradition with the particular theme changing from generation to generation. They have cousins named Amethyst and Chalcedony, and the generation before them includes their mother Anise and their aunt Hazel, named after plants.

[[caption-width-right:316: This is ''not'' the protagonist... or [[CoversAlwaysLie anyone in the story]].]]There is a family of "witches" that receive magical talents at the [[PubertySuperpower onset of puberty]]. The middle child and protagonist, Gypsum [=LaZelle=], is extremely late on receiving her ''gift'', and at the age of twenty, believes that she will never have magic at all. When her gift finally does appear, it turns out that unlike the rest of her family, her gift is to cast curses instead of ordinary spells like everyone else. [[CursedWithAwesome While this may not sound like such a bad thing]], the main drawback of magical powers is that they have to be used fairly frequently or the witch in question will build up an excess of magic until they become so poisoned by it. At that point he or she sickens and dies. This was the fate of a relative of Gypsum's, [[BlessedWithSuck who refused to hurt other people with her curses]].

* SuperpowerLottery: Magic tends to manifest differently for each person, with most people becoming talented in a specific area of magic. Opal, the oldest, is best in her use of glamors and transformation magic, and uses this to be a great Hollywood makeup artist. Jasper has a talent for languages and music and is in a band. Flint's magic is chaotic and can be used to travel large distances, and Beryl keeps her magic secret. Gypsum, of course, has the power of cursing.
