* [[spoiler: UltimateBlacksmith: She forged the original Spear of Light, and she's needed to make the replacement form for it.]]

* BeyondTheImpossible: The Powers That Be, which created the Universe and everthing in it, can't remember creating him. It causes them embarrasement.

* StarfishAliens: A Rirhait, described as resembing a giant metallic centipede.

* TheMedic: In the first few books, Nita has an affinity for living matter and a natural talent for healing that makes her start to focus on healing spells. Until her affinity starts to change, anyway.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: [[spoiler: Queen]] WarriorPoet [[CuteKitten Kitten]]

* BloodMagic: Ed's only 'power,' apart from his possible immortality. If he bleeds, his blood will call all sharks from miles and miles around to come and join in the ultimate feeding frenzy. It's part of the reason why nothing tries to attack him.

* [[spoiler: Heroic Sacrifice: He takes over the Silent Lord's song so that his blood, amped up by the power of Nita's wizardry, will call all the sharks on the planet as reinforcements against the Lone One.]]

* IAmWho

* [[spoiler:{{God}} He is an incarnation of The One.]]

* [[spoiler:UpliftedAnimal: At first thought to be because exposure to wizardy but actually because He's The One.]]

UNDER CONSTRUCTION There are many characters missing from this list, and most need more tropes added.

* [[spoiler: DealWithTheDevil: Nita attempts to make a deal with the Lone Power in order to saver her mother's life, but doesn't go through with it.]]

* OracularUrchin: Looks to be where her affinity will end up. Much like Arhu though, Nita is very down to earth.

* BadassFamily: Thanks to her, the Callahans are the biggest badass family in the universe; it composes an entire ''species'' with an extraordinarily hight rate of wizards to non-wizards.

* CryForTheDevil: [[spoiler: Dairine]], for the Lone Power. [[spoiler: It works.]]

* BadassLonghair: Roshaun.

* [[spoiler:GodWasMyCopilot]]
* [[HeroicSacrifice: Helps reforge the spear, even though she knows that using her powers again (against her promise) will effectively kill her.]]

* HandicappedBadass:[[spoiler Dying of cancer when she told off the Lone One]]

* CunningLinguist: A natural in the Speech

* BrattyHalfPint: Although she does get better, she is initial a pest to Nita.

* [[spoiler: DealWithTheDevil: Nita attempts to make a deal with the Lone Power in order to saver her mother's life, but ends up not going through with it.]]

* LittleMissBadass

* GadgeteerGenius

* BrattyHalfPint, although she does get better.

* TookALevelInBadass

* CunningLinguist: A natural in the speech

* [[spoiler: KingOfAllCosmos: He's the local {{God}} and likes to incarnating as a dog because he likes the 'spell it backwards joke'. According to the Transcendent Pig, He has fondness for bad old jokes.]]

* [[spoiler:AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Leaves the cast by returning to TimeHeart.]]

* [[spoiler: KingOfAllCosmos: He's the local {{God}} and likes to incarnating as a dog because he likes the 'spell it backwards joke'. According to the Transcendent Pig, He has fondness for bad old jokes.
* [[spoiler:UpliftedAnimal: At first thought to be because exposure to wizardy but actually beacuse He's The One.]]

* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn: In ''Wizard Alone" Dairine convinces an aspect of the Lone One to redeem itself and return home. There are other aspects causing trouble but this is a good step in the right direction.]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Big time.

* LittleMissSnarker: Mostly before [[spoiler: Roshaun disappears.]]
** Even after that, although she doesn't seem to take as much pleasure in it, and it has a far darker tone.

* BadassNormal
* MamaBear: [[spoiler: Even while dying of cancer.]]

* BadassNormal: She starts participating in the plot around the eighth book, despite not being a wizard.
* CunningLinguist
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Subverted - her middle name is unique ("Emeda"), but she likes it.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
* ShelteredAristocrat: The arrogant type - also, arguably, the composed/reserved type, but definitely arrogant, though he starts to get better before [[spoiler: he disappears]]
* TroubledButCute: Arguably.

* BadassNormal: He isn't a wizard, but he's just as powerful in his own way.
** Though 'his own way' still isn't exactly normal.

* DarkIsNotEvil: He's an extremely sinister killing machine, but he's not ''evil'', or mindless. He ends distress (by eating the distressed). Actually, he's portrayed a lot like TheGrimReaper.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Nita speculates at one point that there may have only been one Master Shark ''ever'' (and in fact, there is a theory that sharks don't die of old age, only when they succumb to injury or disease), and some things Ed says make him seem terribly lonely...
** LivingForeverIsAwesome: He enjoys his role in the reoccuring reenactment of the whale's Choice and tells Nita that he's looking foward to eating her since her role is "The Silent One."

* AloofBigBrother: To the other Powers; the Lone One is frequently known as "Eldest, Fairest and Fallen", after all.

* DontYouDarePityMe: To Dairine in book 3

* EvilPlan: Its always offering Its "Gift" and spreading it around the universe, though the reasons why vary based on specific aspect the wizards are dealing with. In some cases the Power is a proud inventor, in others It's genuinely malicious, and in others It thinks It's being helpful.
* FieryRedhead: The Lone Power is pretty hot-tempered. And he appears as a redheaded guy-- Nita sees him that way, at least, in SYWTBAW and High Wizardry.
* FightingAShadow

* ManBehindTheMan: prefers this tactic, although when dealing with wizards it is often forced to come out into the open.

* OmnicidalManiac
* {{Satan}}
* SealedEvilInACan: as Esemeli.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: suggested in book 3 but not brought up again. Like many other powers [[LivingForeverIsAwesome eterntiy is something to look forward too.]]

* BarrierMaiden: A SpearCounterpart version. And if he realizes it, he'll die, so everyone is very careful about preserving the {{Masquerade}}.

* TheRainman: Though his autism is bizarrely portrayed (his behaviour on the outside is accurate enough, but his experience from the inside not so much), Darryl makes his first appearance as a severely autistic boy who also turns out to be a human conduit for a large amount of the wizardly power available to Earth.
** JustifiedTrope: Darryl's autism is something the Lone Power has done to him; it's reasonable that it would only superficially resemble an organic condition. So in other words, it's not really autism.

* [[spoiler:AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence]]
* BadassAdorable: Arguably.
* DogsAreDumb: Subverted- he started out smart, and only got smarter as time went on after being around Kit for so long. He was always kind of a [[TheDitz ditz]], though.
* [[spoiler:{{God}}]] He has a fondness for bad old jokes.
* [[spoiler:UpliftedAnimal]]

* TheOmnipotent
* TheOmniscient
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's been around so long, not even the Powers know where he came from for sure.

[[spoiler: * HeroicSacrifice: Tries to kill himself with the Spear of Light to allow the One's Champion to manifest fully. It doesn't stick.]]

* ForeignCussWords: Definitely in A Wizard of Mars, to the point where the characters recognize that he's saying something offensive even if they're not sure just what it is.
* HeroicSacrifice

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Ronan Nolan, a young Irish wizard with the potential to be an avatar of the One's Champion, but who resists out of fear of losing his self if he allows such an awesome Power to manifest through his physical form.
