* BitchInSheepsClothing: Libby. She claims to have long since renounced the Jackals' ways, but she still is very much involved in their exploits, to the point she's almost charged with obstruction.



* MissingMom: Sarah's mother died of cancer when she was 13.



* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: One of the Jackals' enforcers who's really a undercover cop has this moment when he almost [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil "services"]] Sarah. He realizes that although he's just as ruthless as the rest of them, [[EveryoneHasStandards even he can't bring himself to go through the act, especially upon learning her true age and the sad reason why she joined the gang.]]

Added DiffLines:

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Sarah's father. Had he not committed the crime of stealing benefits from dead and disabled veterans, he wouldn't have been imprisoned and forced his daughter out of her old life and school where she was bullied/shunned by her classmates for what he did, she would have never become entangled with a dangerous motorcycle gang due to looking for the validation and protection that had been taken away from her, and she never would have gotten killed when she attempted to steal money from the leader to try and make a better life for herself.
