* BlowYouAway: Waverly's sighs while giant are strong enough to push Yvette back while she's hanging from her grappling hook. She could likely do much worse if she actually ''tried.''
* BootsOfToughness: Subverted with Waverly - Her disposition is more anxious and wary than tough. However her massive size offers some intimidation buffs by default.
* CharacterTitle: Once she grows, Waverly is referred to as 'The Dark Lioness'. Hence the story's name.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: It is stated that Waverly is able to lift a car even ''before'' she grows. Whether this is down to superhuman experiments or is simply her raw strength from training is unclear.
* ClassicalAntiHero: Nothing about Waverly screams 'hero' at a glance, from her awkward demeanor to her short stature and light build.
* ClothingDamage: Waverly's clothes rip as she grows.
* GiantWoman: She's turned into a 'Dark Lioness' and grows to 168ft tall.
* HumanWeapon: Though the exact purpose Waverly is meant to serve is still unclear, her first mission involving destruction is a clear show that the intentions are not peaceful.
* LargeAndInCharge: Averted--while Waverly is massive, she nevertheless follows orders without question.
* MagicPants: Though Waverly's clothes rip when she grows, they're intact enough for her to not be walking around naked as a giant once the transformation is finished.
* PainfulTransformation: Downplayed - while the laser Waverly is hit with causes her immense pain, the growth itself is less painful and more just really ''uncomfortable.''
* PintSizedPowerhouse: She's described as being small and weighing less than a hundred pounds as a human, yet has the strength to lift a car. Averted once she grows, of course.
* PowerGlows: During Waverly's growth, the energy from the laser that had zapped her covers her body in a red glow until the transformation is complete.
* Sizeshifter: She's been physically trained to be able to handle the growth process, and so can change to and from a giant.
* StrongerThanTheyLook: Waverly is described as having a rather pitiful look to her as a human but can nevertheless lift a car and handle the stress of the growth process.
* SuperSoldier: A giant soldier made to rival the Lionesses already in action.
* TokenSuper: Amongst everyone involved in the Dark Lioness project, Waverly is the only one with powers.
* TransformationSequence: Waverly recieves a detailed one in Chapter three.
