* DefectorFromDecadence: {{ZigZagged|Trope}} in the sense that on paper a FallenAngel in the service of[[note]](and, yes, servic''ing'')[[/note]] the daughter of Lucifer Morningstar would be [[InvertedTrope the exact opposite]]. However:
** A) She was part of a host sent down annually to indiscriminately and needlessly cull the ranks of unsaved souls at the behest of a prideful sadist who would have been a better fit in Hell than the Heaven his actions were concealed from before being maimed and left to bleed out for showing mercy.
** B) She's shacking up with and trying to help ''{{Princess|Classic}} freaking [[AntiAntiChrist Charlie]]''.

** Both of them are very insecure about themselves in similar ways - Both are shameful of their respective troubled pasts, feel regret over certain actions they had towards Sinners (Lucifer gifting humans with Free Will that led to Hell; Vaggie for participating in the annual exterminations). Their respective deep insecurities also include how they can be a good girlfriend/father to Charlie, but both are still [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend highly]] [[PapaWolf protective]] and loving of the Princess.
** While Vaggie fully supports her girlfriend's goals, she also has a similar cynicism regarding both Sinners and Heaven, like Lucifer.
** They are both being way [[PintSizedPowerhouse stronger than their short height implies]], with them both being one of the shortest characters in the show.

They adorn some sort of accessory - Lucifer's snake top hat/crown; Vaggie's red bow that resembles a moth. Once Vaggie is able to regrow her wings, like Lucifer, she can now [[RetractableAppendages retract]] them at will. In a subtler detail, both of the Angels' wings are unique in some way - Lucifer has six wings because he's a Seraphim and they become demonic if he chooses; upon further inspection, Vaggie's wings pre- and post-fall have a single stripe while the other Exorcists had two. And their hairstyles resemble their respective [[AnimalMotifs animal motifs]] - Lucifer's hair is in the style of a ducktail whip; Vaggie's hair resembles folded moth wings.

* AintTooProudToBeg: Normally, Vaggie is defiant and unflappable in the face of her enemies, never showing fear at any form of intimidation. So, it becomes notably significant when she ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness does]]'' beg her former boss, [[PsychopathicManchild Adam]], to not reveal her FallenAngel Exorcist past to Charlie, not wanting to damage her relationship with the Princess. Unfortunately, her pleas go unanswered and her lie is exposed.

Unfortunately, her pleas go unanswered unanswered, and her lie is exposed.



* AllForNothing: Vaggie keeping her FallenAngel Exorcist past a secret from Charlie out of shame turned out to be all for not. While Charlie was upset and hurt by the reveal, it stemmed from Vaggie lying about said past than actually being an Exorcist; and the other Hotel residents are rather blase about the entire reveal (if anything, the worst she gets is some teasing), and if her encounter with Carmilla Carmine is any indication, even Overlords don't seem to care much about it. In other words, Vaggie had nothing to worry about if she had been honest with Charlie from the beginning.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: While it's unknown if Vaggie was well-liked among the Exorcist Angels prior to being [[FallenAngel abandoned]], she's this to them in the present. They all give a chorus of "boos" when Adam brings her up and cheer when he offers them a reward for her death.

Lute's line about always knowing that Vaggie was "weak", implied that Vaggie was somewhat of an outcast before being abandoned.



* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Vaggie has a number of similarities to her girlfriend's father, Lucifer Morningstar. The biggest is that they're both {{fallen angel}}s -- and they're the only two known instances of such in the setting, although Charlie wasn't aware of this for a long time -- and thematically, both of them were cast out of Heaven for going against what was expected of them (Vaggie refusing to kill a Sinner child, Lucifer offering Free Will to humanity). Besides that, both of them are very insecure about themselves, including how they can be a good girlfriend/father to Charlie but are still highly protective and loving of the Princess; and while Vaggie fully supports her girlfriend's goals, she also has a similar cynicism regarding both Sinners and Heaven. Other similarities between the duo are both being way [[PintSizedPowerhouse stronger than their short height implies]], having a [[BloodKnight liking for battle]], and [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer not being remembered fondly by their respective former associates]] in Heaven (the Exorcists for Vaggie, the other Seraphim for Lucifer).
