* TheUnchosenOne: "Duet 2-7" reveals that she initially wasn't supposed to become a Keeper; Shona, however, refused to make the Promise without her, [[spoiler: so Enne and Yune did ''something'' to make that happen...]]

* SecretIdentity: Unlike most Keepers, Liadain initially works to keep her real identity a secret, wearing a mask and even giving a fake name to other Keepers. It's mostly just because she doesn't want the celebrity attnetion many Keepers get, as she herself admits she doesn't have much of civilian to life to protect.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Sort of; Liadain clearly knows she's in a MagicalGirlGenreDeconstruction, but she makes the mistake of assuming other Keepers are a lot further towards the "cynical" side of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism; she initially believes all other Keepers are as determined to get Harbinger hearts as she is, or that they even have "territories" for where they hunt. By contrast, most other Keepers she's met don't really care about hearts or chasing Emergence very much, and Roland burst out laughing at the idea of Keepers having a territory, at least in New Claris (he implies it does happen in some places, but not here).

Added DiffLines:

* TheSmartGirl: She's the most knowledgeable about past Keepers and Harbingers, and is actively cataloguing the latter in an effort to study them in a logical, coherent manner. When Liadain has questions about Emergence, Harbingers, or just current events in the city, she goes and bothers Aisling about it, as does Shona. She implies this is a regular occurrence for her.

* AFormYouAreComfotableWith: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]; Liadain asks her point blank if she's doing this, which Vyuji denies, saying that "her children require her to be earnest," meaning the dolphin-girl appearance is her "true form." Whether that implies the ''other'' Messengers are doing this is unclear.

* AffablyEvil: "Evil" is a stretch, but terrifying and harmful to humans it certainly is. It's also surprisingly cheerful and friendly towards Liadain and the humans under its power, which makes sense for the emotion it was born from.

* NotQuiteDead: Liadain discovers that [[spoiler: Harbingers killed and eaten by Keepers don't really ''die'', they persist as a part of the Keeper's soul, and even retain some degree of self-awareness. Liadain can even communicate with hers]].

* HandicappedBadass: She's actually paralyzed from the waste down, something Emergence has apparently not fixed; that doesn't stop from being one of the most badass Keepers in New Claris. She apparently rides into battle on a magical silver palanquin.

Added DiffLines:

* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: All Keepers have the power to sense the presence of both other Keepers and nearby Harbingers. What this is like is different for every Keeper; for instance, {{Plaguemaster}} Liadain can smell them, with each Keeper and Harbinger having a different scent, while MagicMusic Shona hears a different song for each.

* NoMouth: Is described as having no mouth under his big black nose; this does not stop him from speaking, obviously.
