* RedemptionEqualsDeath: After she died, she became a Wraith, unable to pass on without being able to say goodbye to Gabriel, not knowing that he had died just minutes after she did. When she returned to her old Sanctum in the Sapphire and was swiftly defeated by Joy, armed with the same [[CoolSword Vengeance Blade]] that Madeline Cooper used to kill her the first time, Michael made her an offer of mercy, claiming that he didn't want to see her killed the first time, and neither he nor Joy wants to see her killed again. Sofia's Shadow was quelled by a successful roll for Empathy, and she realized that Joy was ''not'' Madeline, and [[TearsOfRemorse broke down]], realizing [[WhatHaveIBecome how twisted she'd become]], and confessed that she'd been blood bound to Gabriel, and just wanted to say goodbye. Upon learning that he was already dead, she apologized to both of them, wished that things could have ended differently, and then [[PassingTheTorch bequeathed her last two remaining possessions]] to Joy and Michael; a [[CoolGun badass magickal gun]] and all of her remaining memories of her library (granting him a free dot of Library) respectively. She was then finally able to pass on, finding peace at long last.

* LoopholeAbuse: Uses a combination of this and ExactWords when making what otherwise would have been a DealWithTheDevil with [[HumanoidAbomination Sombra]] to destroy Sombra's sister, Sascha. Sombra demanded the Technocracy recover and then return the body of one of his cultists from a morgue in exchange for his help. Simon, knowing full well it wasn't to give the cultist a proper burial, agreed... but pointed out after the fact that Sombra failed to specify when, wheere, and in what condition the body would be returned, so he had the Progenitors perform a full dissection of the body and told them to 'take their time' doing so.

-->'''Johanna''': "But what you are dreaming about is a world in which your paradigm doesn't cause paradox. Which means that everyone with worldviews that conflict with yours would be hit with paradox even more. You speak of giving everyone magic, but that's impossible unless you also [[TautologicalTemplar brainwash every human to believe in the same thing]]. The main impediment is not the Veil, the main impediment is that the nature of magic means that we awakened will [[WithFriendsLikeThese always be our own worst enemies]]. Giving magic to the masses was the goal of the Order of Reason. And you know what? They succeeded. Humans these days are able to fly, to communicate over vast distances, and do a thousand other things that once were the sole purview of the awakened. Now I won't defend [[HeWhoFightsMonsters what the Technocratic Union has become]], but you have to realize that you don't want to give magic to the people to help them. Because they already have magic. What you want to do is to rip everything apart and give them a ''different'' magic, because [[ItsAllAboutMe you don't like the currently dominant flavor]]."

* SuddenHumility: Almost declared war on the Mages when one casually suggested [[WhatMeasureIsANonBadass invasively invading a Hunter's mind]] to determine said Hunter's true intentions when he wanted to perform a HeelFaceTurn. When he sat down and spoke with Gregory about the matter, he left the meeting admitting he had jumped the gun, and used it as a teaching moment to the rest of the Hunters, demonstrating that their leader can be wrong and someone needs to be ready to call him out on it if he is.

However, as TimeMarchesOn, she became more of a Teenage Tyrannical Girl, and is slowly but surely becoming more and more of a ReasonableAuthorityFigure as the sheer weight of her responsibility bears down on her... though it's still ''not at all'' a good idea to piss her off.
