* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Wren's parents lost her brother years prior during the {{mystical plague}} in the Year of Darkness. It left both wounded, hating magic as the cause of the plague, and thus witches as welll due to this.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Although [[AlwaysIdenticalTwins identical]], Tamsin and Marlena were very different otherwise. Tamsin is the most powerful witch in her generation, able to do spells with ease which exhaust others. Marlena though was very weak, and doing even simple spells put her in the infirmary, even into a coma. She grew to hate Tamsin for accidentally killing a friend of hers. Tamsin though had caused this as a result of a spell to save Marlena because of how much she loved her, which caused her to risk everything.

* ShoutOut: There are references to classic fairy tales. One is of a wicked stepmother who had a nymph cast a spell to poison a golden apple she wanted for her stepdaughter (something like ''Literature/SnowWhite'') but it backfired, poisoning an entire apple crop. Wren meets a toad who claims he's a lord turned into this by a witch, with a kiss turning him back (''Literature/TheFrogPrince''). It turns out he's a sprite who wants to trick her though, and if she kissed him ''she'd'' turn into a toad too. There's also mention of a creature called a "[[Literature/Rumpelstiltskin stiltzkin]]" that girls can trade their names for the ability to turn straw into gold.
