* MirrorCharacter: The parallels between Credenza and Snow are strong. Both are (or were) normal humans with negligible magical gifts and lost their parents, who went through various traumas (death for Snow, and Snow for Credenza), were granted artifacts and powers from the BigGood and BigBad, and often fall back on who they were before their careers as hero and villain - Snow out of pride, Credenza in humility. Where Credenza is able to build people up, Snow breaks them. They're also rather [[MagneticHero magnetic]], a strength they use as much or more than the gifts offered by Dragonfly and the Great Raven.
