10	!!Tropes present in this series include:
11	* BenevolentBoss: Domina is this, ''especially'' when compared to the other Diamonds. She takes time to learn the names of the Gems under her and is shown to know her Gems on a more individual basis.
12	* BlowYouAway: Domina’s main ability is aerokinesis, and she’s good enough with it that she can use it to fly on her own.
13	* CommonalityConnection: Steven and Domina get along very well despite their differing origins and loyalties, due to being the only two known Gem-human hybrids.
14	* HumanPet: Played straight at first when White Diamond ''borrowed'' Domina's father Vitus, then averted when they started to get to know each other.
15	* HypercompetentSidekick: Downplayed – while Domina is hardly incompetent, her need to sleep can sometimes make her fall behind (by Homeworld standards). Pink Pearl tends to take over for her when this happens.
16	* MasterSwordsman: Domina’s main weapon is a sword, and she’s capable of DualWielding if she wants.
17	* TheMenFirst: Domina has a tendency to go after any Gems left behind herself, whether that means jumping into open space or wading through an overrun base.
18	* OlderThanTheyLook: Domina appears to be an adult woman in her twenties to thirties, but is over 4000 years old.
19	* SmarterThanYouLook: Homeworld attempted to colonize a world that seemingly had no intelligent life. The response of the locals makes Domina wonder if they need to redefine their definition of “intelligent”.
20	* TokenGoodTeammate: Due to being the only Diamond that seems to be willing to at least listen to the Crystal Gems, along with her treatment of the Gems under her, Domina falls into this. And, although the circumstances appear to be different than in canon, [[spoiler: Pink Diamond appears to have still supported the Crystal Gem rebellion, and intentionally allowed herself to be poofed and captured]].
21	* QueenIncognito: Domina gets away with this mostly because she does not fit what anyone expects White Diamond to look like, leaving her free to interact with her Gems on a more personal level before they find out who she is, as shown with Peridot 1F7-9YN.
