to:
* {{Foil}}{{Foil}}: Nahida's first character arc puts them in contrast with the Shards, as both the Aranara and the Shards have BlueAndOrangeMorality, are linked to a being that landed on Earth Bet from beyond, and endowed with power. However, the Aranara are identified as benevolent djinns peacefully living besides mankind, while the Shards need to be taught another path than constant and unending conflict and are saddled with demonic imagery.
* PoorCommunicationKills: When Scion decides to make Nahida his new Thinker, the distressed Aranaras tell civilians that "Scary Nara is trying to mate with her". Cue the common Iraqi people concluding that Saddam Hussein, who's plenty scary, wants to rape a preteen girl -- and rebelling.

* ThisMeansWarpaintThisMeansWarpaint: The bunch helping Qiqi to fight several tanks is noted to have painted angry eyebrows on their faces with red fruit juice. The narration comments they would look quite silly if they weren't busy kicking startling amounts of ass.

* AbusiveParents: Tess is deeply bitter about her creator -- whom she calls "dad" -- treating her as a mere program mimicking sapiency and liable to grow nefarious. However, it's later nuanced as it's shown that he's more clueless about how to raise a digital awareness.
* AdaptationalBadass: Sure, Dragon in canon was one of the most important capes of Earth-Bet for her Dragon Armours, but there, she's implied to become Earth-Bet's equivalent to Apep, the Dendro Sovereign, when she finally gains a Vision.

* TheFairFolk: When they start popping up in Baghdad, children swiftly call them ''djinns'', since they are supernatural creatures with their own BlueAndOrangeMorality. They tend towards benevolence as a rule, but as shown when they encourage the civilians to riot against Saddam for imprisoning Nahida, you don't want to piss them off.
* {{Foil}}
* FriendToAllChildren: Their first appearances in the story have them approaching kids in order to play, and children immediately love and trust them.
* GreenThumb: Able to turn the militiamen's rifles in flowers and grass.
* InvisibleToNormals: As they are spreading in Iraq, grown ups shrug them off as new imaginary friends for their kids while Doctor Mother and Miss Militia believe Contessa is merely having a Thinker fugue as she rants about "fairies". In order to see them when you're not a kid anymore, genuine belief appears to be necessary -- since Fortuna was raised with Bronze-era superstitions about dryads.
* {{Psychopomp}}: They manage to feel that Bashir's extremely elderly grandmother is on her last legs and come to sing for her as she painlessly dies, showing her the way towards the afterlife.

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Literally. Nahida's greatest strength and asset isn't her academic knowledge, or her GreenThumb, or even the MindRape applications of her Dreaming ability, it's her unending compassion and wish to help everyone she can reach. After one year living in Baghdad, she grew so beloved by the civilian people that Saddam imprisoning her causes a full-blown ''revolution''.
* CassandraTruth: Doctor Mother and Miss Militia believe her FreakOut when she stumbles upon an Aranara is merely her Thinker power going haywire, but Fortuna ''did'' correctly identify them as fae and not to be trifled with.
* FatalFamilyPhoto: Proudly shows Hero a picture of his wife and daughter right before going to help the Tinker to fight the Nine, and ultimately commiting an HeroicSacrifice.

* ABirthdayNotABreak: Right on the anniversary of the day she landed in Baghdad, the Simurgh descends upon the city, forcing Nahida to fight her -- and that's the ''less'' traumatic part of the day, since Scion immediately gets interested in her as a potential replacement to Eden, Bashir is left heavily injured, and Saddam decides he wants to use her as his pet god for furthering his dictatorship.
