* HiddenDepths: When she first appears, she seems a typical nagging mother who sees Joe's dream as unrealistic and wants him to pursue a mundane career. Later, when Joe finally confronts his mother, we find out the real reason for her apathy: Joe wanted to follow in his father's footsteps to become a jazz musician, but even when his dad was alive and successful, it was Libba's business that paid most of the bills and Libba is scared that Joe will end up like that but with no one to help him should something happen to her. Regardless, she comes around to supporting Joe's dreams and admits that she's proud of him no matter what he does with his life.

* AmbiguousGender: While Jerry is a common male English name, The Counselors all have gender neutral appearances with no TertiarySexualCharacteristics, they are voiced by a blend of male and female voice actors, and never refer to each other by gendered pronouns. Given that they are beings beyond human comprehension and find human behavior and traits a bit superfluous, they probably don't have ''any'' gender that humans could comprehend, and that's if they even associate themselves with any gender ''at all.''

* {{Hikikomori}}: She would rather stay in her room inside the Great Before for all eternity than to live a life on Earth as one of the Counselors had to drag her out of her room just for her to attend the mentoring section. [[spoiler:{{Deconstructed}} in that after many years of not finding a spark, she doesn't think she's good enough for life on Earth, and gives up on trying to live a life there. Once she *does* find her spark, Joe lashes out on her stating she only got a spark because she was in a body of someone who already has a spark in the first place. This ends up causing 22 to lower her self-esteem even further, give him her own earth pass, and become a [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Lost Soul]] due to how she believes she is better off living in the Great Before. Fortunately, Joe was able to come back, and snap her out of it.]]
