* SurpriseCreepy: When the player hits an orange note for the first time in "Exertion", Girlfriend's screaming changes the background from a serene, sunny park to a hellish landscape with jagged rocks, a darkened sky, vegetation shaped like hands, ghoulish shadowy faces in the background, and the scattered remains of slayed demons. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also the park bench goes from brown to blood red]]. The background stays like this for the rest of the song.

* SeenItAll: While fully aware that Cuz has been hunting her, Girlfriend is unfazed, since Cuz has been after her for months and yet still hasn't caught her. Girlfriend, if anything, is more annoyed at seeing her than anything else.

* BareYourMidriff: Cuz wears a white crop-top that exposes their belly button.
* BloodKnight: Cuz is determined to get Girlfriend no matter what, openly stating that they don't care that she and Boyfriend are dating.
* CombatPragmatist: Cuz makes use of their sword in "Equivocation" and "Exertion". Throughout both songs, exclamation point notes will appear, and the player must hit these notes to dodge Cuz's sword or else they'll lose a chunk of health.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Girlfriend tells Boyfriend her parents won't be home tonight, Boyfriend sees this as an opportunity for them to go watch a movie, when Girlfriend was actually trying to offer him sex. He catches on after she repeats herself.

* DemonHunter: Cuz. Unfortunately for Boyfriend, Girlfriend is their target, leading to the events of the mod.
* DissonantSerenity: One of the artwork from the "Private" section of the Gallery has Cuz suggest to their boyfriend to get Burger King with a smile on their face... after having just killed a demon ([[GoryDiscretionShot off-screen]]) and been stained in their blood in addition to getting a cut on their shoulder.
* HellIsThatNoise: Girlfriend lets out some particularly unpleasant shrieks whenever an orange note is hit in "Exertion".
* HypocriticalHumor: In the cutscene before "Equivocation", Girlfriend teases Cuz about how despite their work as a demon hunter, they themselves are in [[InterspeciesRomance a relationship with a demon]]. She wasn't joking about it either, as a "Private" section of the Art Gallery the player unlocks after beating all the songs reveals the identity of said demon, named Malakai, who happens to be one of Daddy Dearest's henchmen. The artwork shows that he and Cuz are in a very loving relationship, even if he does annoy them sometimes.
* ALizardNamedLiz: Boyfriend's cousin is named Cuz.
* NightmareFace: Whenever the player hits an orange note in "Exertion", Girlfriend's face changes to a frightening grin consisting of a JaggedMouth that glows red like her eyes, which have black blood leaking from them.
* OneWingedAngel: When she's the player character, Girlfriend assumes her natural demon form, revealing her purple skin, black horns and glowing red eyes. While she willingly transforms for "Equivocation", she transforms in "Exertion" due to Cuz forcing her to.
* PromotedToPlayable: Girlfriend for "Equivocation" and "Exertion".
* SeenItAll: While fully aware that Cuz has been hunting her, Girlfriend is unfazed, since Cuz has been after her for months and yet still hasn't caught her. Girlfriend, if anything, is more annoyed at seeing her than anything else.
* SuddenlySpeaking: Boyfriend exclusively speaks in full sentences for this mod.
* SurpriseCreepy: When the player hits an orange note for the first time in "Exertion", Girlfriend's screaming changes the background from a serene, sunny park to a hellish landscape with jagged rocks, a darkened sky, vegetation shaped like hands, ghoulish shadowy faces in the background, and the scattered remains of slayed demons. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also the park bench goes from brown to blood red]]. The background stays like this for the rest of the song.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Subverted. Cuz attempts to strike Girlfriend by throwing their sword at her in the opening cutscene, but Girlfriend dodges and the sword hits the pillar behind her instead. Cuz never attempts to throw the sword again after that.
* TurnsRed: Cuz is already in a bad mod from the start, but with every song they get angrier and angrier, culminating in them deciding to make use of their sword.
