Added DiffLines:

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Not one of her more obvious superpowers, but Toby's compassion for the supposedly lesser or non-sentient parts of Faerie, such as the pixies and the knowes, ends up saving the day more than once.

Added DiffLines:

* BigotWithACrush: His bigotry against mixed heritage extends even to pureblooded fae with mixed parentage, despite his lover the false Queen of the Mists having ancestry from at least three different bloodlines, [[spoiler: although Toby pulls one of them out of her.]] When they have an argument, he admits that he thinks that [[spoiler: what Toby did was an improvement.]]

Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilHasStandards: It's brought up several times that, despite his abusive behaviour, he's one of the least bad options for runaway changelings. We see how much worse it can get in ''Ashes of Honor.'' He also prevents the circulation of [[FantasticDrug goblin fruit.]].

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: by Toby in ''An Artificial Night''. Comes back to bite her when the Queen accuses her of breaking Oberon's Law (the prohibition against killing someone with fae blood) in ''Late Eclipses''.]]

* ImmortalitySeeker / ImmortalityImmorality: [[spoiler: He plans on using a Hope chest (which has the power to transform a changeling into either a human or a pureblood fae) to make himself into a pureblood, so he can live forever. He's willing to kill as many people as he needs to to get it.]]

* ChekhovsGunman: Slightly, in a strange way. After [[spoiler:her death when Toby meets the Nighthaunts for the first few times the one that ate Dare and took her memories and personality is one of the unofficial spokesmen.]] It's implied that one of reasons they agree to help Toby is due to Dare's continued affection for her despite how things turned out. Later, after May shows up it is eventually revealed that [[spoiler: May was originally that same Nighthaunt before becoming Toby's Fetch and that she volunteered for the job]]. She still has those memories to some degree but never brought it up because of how awkward and weird it would make things. This revelation makes her breaking the rules to help save Toby in earlier books extremely in character and gives a deeper relationship to the two/three characters. Toby's good treatment of May also seems to be a factor in the continued assistance of the other [[spoiler: Nighthaunts]] in later novels.

* TheDogBitesBack: He was totally on board with helping Devin until [[spoiler:he killed Manuel's sister for daring to disobey him, at which point ''he'' killed Devin.]]

* PortentOfDoom: It's said that [[spoiler:Fetches]] like May foretell the immediate death of whoever they appear to (and disappear after that). She exists like this for years by now... this might tell you something about Toby, or Amandine. Or we might misunderstand what people like her are. [[spoiler: Fetches are Night Haunts who tasted living blood. The people whose living blood they're most likely to taste are those who live high risk lifestyles... heroes, powerful kings, etc. So the legend is sort of reversed.]]

* AlienGeometries: if asked nicely by Toby (everyone else thinks it weird and embarrassing) the Knowe will rearrange itself within a small limit to make things easier for her.

* DefrostingIceKing: Goes from openly antagonistic to Toby in the first books to admitting his love and getting engaged to her.
* FreudianExcuse: For all that he's not a ''villain'', there's still a reason behind Tybalt's animosity to Toby and all Changelings that goes deeper than just FantasticRacism.
