* [[spoiler: SympatheticMurderer: Some of his crimes actually come across this way. Specifically, his murder of his parents after his father killed Yumi, the only person that ever explicitly cared about Russell, and his mother simply watched it happen.

* [[spoiler:LoveMakesYouCrazy and LoveMakesYouEvil: She was so insanely in love with Saxon in real life that she states she would happily be his servant and give him everything. She makes clear the reason for her suicide wasn't from any guilt but the fact that he wasn't in the world anymore.]]
