* ''Literature/TheCasterChronicles'': Initially, Macon Ravenwood isolates himself from the rest of the town and the locals certainly don't feel like he has any power over them. This rapidly changes once they try to have his niece expelled from school in a KangarooCourt hearing. Macon is happy to remind the school board and the crowd that he owns a great deal of Gatlin County's real estate. He makes it clear that if they give him a reason to, he could force all of the businesses who are renting land from him to close down and sell undeveloped land to people who they don't want in their town (Walmart in the book, and a drug rehabilitation center in the film).

* SouthernGentleman: Macon is a kind-hearted, immaculately dressed man who is quite courteous and eloquent, both when he wants to be friendly and when he's being snarky to his enemies.




to:

* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Zigzagged. Leah is implied to be a blood-feeding succubus rather than one who subsists on dreams. However, she's still aligned with the Light Casters in her family, opposes Abraham and never threatens their mortal friends.


Added DiffLines:

* CrypticBackgroundReference: Duchannes children aren't supposed to live with their parents before their claiming, but Ryan is allowed to. It's never explained why, with Lena merely commenting that she's a "special case."

%%* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold

to:

%%* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Macon hasn't left his manor (aboveground, at least) for as long as anyone seems to be able to remember. Naturally he develops a bizarre reputation in town, but turns out to be polite and thoughtful in person. He's also quite aware of this trope, going so far as to name his dog Boo Radley.
