** Generally, the fact that the then-queen Scarlet was so cruel to take someone as [[TheAce bright, brave and confident]] as Hailstorm and change his body and memory into someone so [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen insecure, clumsy and self-doubting]] as Pyrite is overwhelmingly ''tragic''!

* Moon sadly finding kinship with a withdrawn young Nightwing [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer who the other young Nightwings look down upon for being introverted]]. He's just [[FreudianExcuse recovering from the trauma of the volcano]], but [[NoSympathy what does it matter to his cohorts]]? The way they see it, he was "born in the wrong tribe". Poor Moon finishes that one Nightwing's sentence, no doubt familiar with the sentiment, or even jaded by having read this child's heartless thoughts.

* Winter reaffirm [[KickTheDog his hatred towards Nightwings to Moon's face]] and telling her and Qibli to leave him alone. Later, before the Diamond Trial, he reflects on how [[PartingWordsRegret these were his last words to Moon before he presumably dies]].
** At least in the graphic novel, before he engages in the Diamond Trial, Winter has this sobering thought, bordering on a "[[IHaveNoSon I have no parents]]" statement:
-->'''Winter:''' I should have something to say to them. They are my '''mother''' and '''father'''. ...But I don't.

* Foeslayer's tragic character arc. Despite the legends painting her as the deceptive temptress who stole away Prince Arctic, she was actually in love with him, just as she was with her, but their love was [[StarCrossedLovers destined to be short-lived]]. As such, her mother-in-law Queen Diamond cursed her to live, die and freeze for centuries to come. By the time she meets Hailstorm and Winter, she's resigned to the idea that all she can do is let them kill her.
** And even once she's freed, when Winter asks she not kill any Icewings, Foeslayer tearfully declares she doesn't want to see another Icewing ever again. There's something sobering and heartbreaking in how her overall experience with Icewings has traumatized her, to the point she doesn't want to see them even if they remind her of her late lover.
