* AnythingThatMoves: Downplayed, but Jariah is astounded when he realises that Cade is just flirting with Gunn to screw with her on the grounds that she's not his type. As he points out, ''female'' is Cade's type, up to and including female ''Hutts'' (or at least, he's willing to flirt). In this specific case, it's possible that he may have subconsciously recognised that [[spoiler: Gunn is his half-sister from her resemblance to their mother]].



* TheCameo: He, Jariah, and Deliah make a cameo in ''Legacy II'' as scamming Sauk by selling him a stabilizing coil for an expensive price. Doubles as OneDegreeOfSeparation.

* MyGirlIsASlut: GenderFlipped. Cade's primary LoveInterest Deliah Blue is a Zeltron, whose [[PlanetOfHats hat]] is being [[SmellsSexy pheromonal]], empathic [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Pink-Skinned Space Babes]] that believe in EternalSexualFreedom. As such, she doesn't appear to mind him sleeping around as long as she knows about it (there's even a brief scene where the two of them are shown frolicking with several other Zeltron women), she'd just ''really'' rather it not include [[FemmeFatale Darth Talon]]. And she gets more than a little jealous of his connection with Azlyn Rae, to her own discomfort.

* AmbiguousSituation: It's not specified how she's descended from Han and Leia. Considering Jaina's connection to the Fel family and Anakin Solo dying with no known offspring, Jacen, via Tenel Ka's daughter Allana (whom Han and Leia adopted after ''Literature/LegacyOfTheForce''), is her most likely ancestor. Exactly ''why'' she's living a mundane lifestyle in the vein of Han and not some form of royalty like Leia or Allana is never explained.

* {{Foil}}: She's a much more wholesome personality than Cade is, and comes up from poverty rather than going down into it the way he did, but they're both street smart heroes and in the end they choose to continue their lives of adventure on their own terms with their friends rather than getting wrapped up in high politics.



* UnknownRelative: She has no idea of her bevy badass and highly placed relatives, though it's suggested that she might later find out from her distant cousin, Empress Marasiah. Ironically, at the end of Volume II, she nearly bumps into Cade after Jariah sells Sauk a ship part.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Played with. She clearly doesn't like Cade hanging out with other women, especially with his former love Azlyn Rae. This trait, as noted by Bantha Rawk, is very unusual for Zeltrons who are usually very promiscuous and totally fine with polygamy. However, she's also shown frolicking in a pool with him, Jariah, and several other Zeltron women, so maybe the takeaway, as Jariah implies at one point, is that she doesn't mind him ''casually'' sleeping around, just when the relationship is less than casual.

* SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: ZigZagged. While he does come close and even uses the dark side on several occasions, using Force choking and lightning several times, Cade never fully falls to the dark side, and in particular is never tempted to join the Sith because he isn't interested in power. Celeste Morne, who had spent several millennia alongside the spirit of the Sith lord Karness Muur and flirted many times with the dark side herself, was shocked by how easily Cade could come close to the dark side and yet be so resistant to its lure. Still, he overall trends downward, and only chooses to fully commit himself to the light in the last quarter of the series.
