* TwinTelepathy: Ella and Eric shared a mental link of some sort before Eric died. It didn't help Ella's trauma of losing her twin. For a while she even kept saying that she could still ''feel'' him, leading to most people (eventually including ''herself'') thinking she had totally lost her marbles. [[spoiler: Turns out she was not mad and was really feeling Eric.]]

* SomeCallMeTim: Kai and Khodi both use nicknames that are way shorter than their full names (respectively "Ki te Muri kā" and "Khỏi khôn đi Som"). Overlaps with TheUnpronounceable because, while their names would be pronounceable by people speaking the languages these names come from, the characters live in the USA.

Rex Tjin left the military after losing one of his siblings to the war, and since then he's been trying to figure out what to do with his life. Meeting Euan Ambrus might be the beginning of an answer, because they just ''fit'' together. Unfortunately, it also brings Rex and his family into an unexpected conflict with an organization within the federal governement. At least the whole family is used to ''weird'' and is far from without ressources...

* DysfunctionJunction: Basically everyone in the cast suffered some form of trauma at some point. It's worth noting that the vast majority of the relationships (familial or otherwise) depicted are healthy despite this trope.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Jasper Fox]] didn't have a choice, but still ends up quite the antagonist.

* ShellShockedVeteran: It would probably be faster to list who is ''not'' one. Django and Euan are straigth up TheVietnamVet, Cody and several siblings went through the war in Afghanistan, Jasper Fox [[spoiler:is a survivor from human trafficking]]... and that's only ''before'' the beginning of the first book (also, only the tip of the iceberg). The events in said book would be enough to add basically the whole cast to the list if most of them were not already fitting this trope.
Added DiffLines:
* TheVietnamVet: Django and Euan both fought in Vietnam, and while they were not exactly naive ''before'' this war, it definitely solidified their cynicism.
