--> '''Nova:''' You are a worthy adversary, Misho! But even you could not anticipate that I would invert the photon charge of the deflector array... AGAIN.
--> '''Misho:''' [[OhMyGods SOL DAMNIT]] THAT SHOULDN'T DO ANYTHING EVEN IF IT IS POSSIBLE!
--> '''Nova:''' Ha! You just don't think the same way I do!
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Elegant Nova of Progression and her fellow Alchemical Exalted are all examples. To be fair, the Alchemicals have human souls, like their fellow Exalted, and are closer to being cyborgs than true robots due to their artificial flesh. At higher Essence levels, they're the foundation and central part of entire ''cities''.\\

* ARottenTimeToRevert: Marena's [[LieToTheBeholder magical disguise]] spontaneously [[https://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0356.html fails]] in front of a SecretPolice squad, bringing the entire Empire's hostile attention down on her party. As an Exalted of the TricksterGod Luna, she assumes it's [[InMysteriousWays a sign]] to set them on a better course of action.
-->'''Marena:''' Dearest Luna, thief of light, devourer of chaos, hear my words. I beseech you to guide events that [[ExactWords my sister]] will not reveal our nature to our enemies. ''[SPOING!]''

* SummonBinding: In the ''{{TabletopGame/Exalted}}''-based RPGMechanicsVerse, Necromancy summoning rituals let the summoner exert their will on the ghost. [[https://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0294.html One ghost]] isn't happy that his summoner plans to [[QuietingTheUnquietDead release him]] to the cycle of {{Reincarnation}}, but isn't strong enough to do anything about it.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: In one corner we have a [[CurbStompBattle rampaging Sidereal Exalt]] that's [[TheWorfEffect just walked all over two death knights]]. In the other, we have [[LoveableSexManiac Marena]] [[TheChick Of The Red Crescent]]. Marena '''isn't''' able to stop the Sidereal, but she does take her down a peg in a very cool fashion.

This was a gag on the fact that in most versions of the lore the modern Lunar castes aren't the same as the original ones (and how they've gone back and forth on it since then since it made playing anything prior to the castes breaking impossible without completely redesigning Lunars.)


* AIIsACrapshoot: Subverted, played straight and lampshaded. The Automaton Guard doesn't recognize Marena's caste mark (Misho hypothesises that it's because its sensors are faulty). On the other hand, though tainted with abyssal essence and abandoned for thousands of years, Mew Cai remains true to her original purpose.

* FanNickname: Notably, Secret's OverlyLongName was initially going to be shortened as 'Sorrowful Herald'. 'Secret' was coined by a fan before a practical-sized name was established, however, and the author liked it, so it was taken up in the comic as well.
