* WiseBeyondTheirYears: The reincarnated Fiona displays moments of childishness and also of maturity due to the advantage of having lived a life before and knowing the world she is reincarnated as. Abel points this out to her at one point and wonders which of the two masks she displays is actually the ''true'' Fiona.

** In the current timeline, due to Abel being able to see Fiona's potential in magic, Abel grew to see her for who she is and had decided to adopt her down the line. In the original story, the original Fiona considers Abel as an enemy due to him kicking her out over her age at the time she first arrived at the fortress, even if he was [[JerkassHasAPoint understandably]] offended by what her biological family did by sending an inexperienced child to what is essentially a warzone.

* SuccessionCrisis: When the current emperor was younger, he had any relatives that posed a threat to his rule killed or chased off, which included Abel's relatives and a reason why Abel hates the royal family. Fiona suspects Abel is still single despite his current age because any of Abel's children would have a right to the throne and he doesn't want to have that child live a life in fear of the royal family.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Enoch, on Livia's subtle nudging gets involved in the illegal monster fighting ring and even provides funding for the organizers to obtain an incredibly dangerous monster from the Dead Land. Fiona and Siegren bust the operation in order to stop a potential disaster from the monsters breaking loose and Enoch is exposed as being directly involved, resulting in a huge hit to his reputation while boosting Siegren's popularity.

* RoyalBrat: The crown prince Enoch is a tactless womanizing brat with an inflated ego and pride in his bloodline that Livia despises since he constantly harasses her at parties despite her making clear she doesn't want anything to do with him. He's also shown to not be the most tactful as he's easily duped by Livia into getting involved in the illegal monster fighting ring by her pandering to said ego.

In the original story, the original Fiona considers Abel as an enemy due to him kicking her out over (understandably) her age and being offended by what her biological family did by sending an inexperienced child.

* ForWantOfANail: In the original story, Livia was a love rival villainess for Eunice for her interest in Siegren. Here, because Fiona is now Duke Helion's heir, Livia becomes far more interested in Fiona than Siegren, especially after recognizing how much he adores Fiona and ends up Fiona's friend instead.

* TraumaCongaLine: The original Fiona's life isn't exactly friendly, mistreated for being an illegitimate child, she was thrown to the sharks when the family send her off to Heilon territory but because she has yet to realize her potential in magic at the time, Abel Heilon kicked her out due to Fiona lacking the means to be able to contribute to the on-going war happening in the lines protecting the land. Fiona had to fend for herself and later had her potential awakened by Arendt, who actually was making use of her and never genuinely liked her and for all of this, she ends up becoming the FinalBoss and host of the darkness, an entity plaguing the world.

* StrawMisogynist: Enoch shows

* RoyalBrat: The crown prince Enoch is a tactless womanizing brat with an inflated ego that Livia despises since he constantly harasses her at parties despite her making clear she doesn't want anything to do with him, with him being royalty being the only thing keeping her from hitting him like she wants to.

* ChildhoodFriends: The reincarnated Fiona becomes one with Siegren, the original hero of the book she created.

* TheDreaded: Arendt is this for Reincarnated! Fiona as he was the original cause of Original! Fiona's fall to villainy and as such, interacts with him within arm's length.

* LaserGuidedKarma: The Green family get their just desserts of their treatment of Fiona when she later calls on the Royal family on them for the family's illegal drug dealings and excommunicated herself to be a ward of the Heilon family to escape and not be connected to the family anymore while abdicating any of the inheritance that she would have obtained. The reincarnated Fiona initially wanted to give them a benefit of doubt but seeing that all of them were still content to mistreat Fiona, she decided that she can no longer deal with them and give them their just desserts for their mistreatment.

** Abel Heilon is efficient and stern, and has a no nonsense attitude regarding serious matters, which included the moment where he plan to send Fiona away due to being a child when she was sent to help subjugate the monsters until the reincarnated Fiona proved herself. He takes care of the people under his territory well and proved to be reasonable when given the chance.

* ReasonableAuthorithyFigure:

** Abel Heilon kicking a young Fiona out after being brought to the territory might be a jerk move in the original story, but seeing that her family chose to send Fiona, a child who didn't know her potential and talent with magic then, out to death, it reads as the Green family not taking the problem in solving the monster invasion seriously, and with the events being serious and dire enough, Fiona as she was then was a potential liability that Abel had no time to cater to. The reincarnated Fiona only averts being kicked out through the foreknowledge and recognizing the original Fiona's talent.

* AllLovingHero: The reincarnated Fiona. However, this is less fueled by her own idealism, but from a sense of responsibility for the suffering that the characters she created had to go through. However, this only extends to the heroes and supporting characters than villains, with the lone exception of the original Fiona, whom she reincarnated as. [[spoiler:This ends up being the thing that saved the original Fiona who had summoned the author in hopes of being loved by her creator and the side stories has the original Fiona reincarnated as Fiona and Siegren's child.]]

** The reincarnated Fiona is this on paper. The original Fiona... [[BastardBastard not so much]].

The reincarnated Fiona only averts being kicked out through the foreknowledge and recognizing the original Fiona's talent.

* AllLovingHero: The reincarnated Fiona. However, this is less fueled by her own idealism, but from a sense of responsibility for the suffering that the characters she created had to go through.
