Baleful Polymorph was renamed per TRS


* IJustWantToBeNormal: Of all people to be afflicted by a BalefulPolymorph, it was Sandra rather than her more adventurous friends. She lampshades this when, after her FaceHeelTurn, she reflects on the fact that she actually became evil partly because if she couldn't be a normal human, she'd be a normal ''demon''. No matter what she does in this direction, it will backfire on her because the Cosmos is out to make her special, whether she likes it or not.

Added DiffLines:

* EccentricMentor: Snarky, deadpan, relaxed, always trying to laugh and yet very serious when the situation calls for it, she is incredibly knowledgeable and wise. She tries her best to get through Sandra and teach her to be human again, despite the latter's reluctance.


Added DiffLines:

* TitleDrop: Outright calls Sandra "Zebra Girl" at one point, while explaining who she really is.

* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Most of the time her eyes are hidden behind her glasses, but when we do get glimpses of them we see that the iris of her eyes turns incredibly pale when she feels miserable or vulnerable, notably when answering Mike's question about her being happy, when she peaks into Crystal's soul and right before her final fight with Zandra.

Wally is as affable a werewolf as you're ever likely to find. He's recently abandoned the werewolf lifestyle and is (ostensibly) making an effort to rejoin the human race. His general naivete stems from living for many years outside of civilization as the "omega wolf" of his pack. This makes him a good fit for Crystal, whose own naivete and maternal instincts enable them to connect on a very even level. Wally's instincts make him fiercely protective of her in turn. It seems as though he's trying to prove something to himself, but the fact of the matter is that we just don't know that much about him yet. For the record, he doesn't trust Sandra.

* SmugSnake: Sandra is usually friendly, despite her tendency to snark. However, once she decided to act like a demon, she became incredibly smug on top of becoming cruel. Considering her power and the Jack's inability to stop her, no wonder she got a little cocky... A little too much, in fact. Thinking she was invincible is precisely what allowed Jack to turn tables on her.

* BiTheWay: While she is in a relationship with Wally, she clearly shows a mix of attraction and admiration towards Sandra after the timeskip, and several of her acts and words hint at her having romantic feelings for her friend. [[spoiler:It is revealed that, in an hypothetical future foreseen by Sandra, she could have become Sandra's partner]].

* SatelliteLoveInterest: While [[spoiler:she took an human form]], Tomie is, sadly, only there for Jack and doesn't seem to have any plans of her own. You will never see her apart from Jack, save for the very brief moment in which she is [[spoiler:locked into the attic again]]. Her being unable to speak to others doesn't help either.

* GuiltComplex: Jack develops a serious guilt complex, as he feels responsible for every bad that happens in the comic. He is especially regretful about turning Sandra into a demon by accident and for not being able to save his fellow mages during the ''Magi-net'' arc. He even blames himself for what his rampant magic is doing on its own (namely turning every woman character in the comic into a Jessica Rabbit equivalent). Everything he does, he does it to atone for his percieved shortcomings.

* {{Seers}}: Eventually develops a low key ability to see the future. Notably, she instinctively asks Sam if his girlfriend, Mary, whom she never met, was sick. Less than a minute later, Sam takes a phone-call from Mary announcing him she was pregnant. She also saw what the future would be if she turned Crystal into a demon like her. Her new power carries a special significance when you take into account that she renames herself [[spoiler:Khazandra]] later.

* NervesOfSteel: Sam proved multiple times that he was perfectly able to remain unfazed and focused, even in the worst situations. He even provides the image trope. Although [[spoiler:later on he explicitly admits to himself that he has lost this trait, either due to torture at Sandra's hands, or by falling in love, and actually ran away instead of joining the others to find and save Crystal. He eventually gathered his courage and met Sandra alone]].

Considering she is now her own person again, she is not complaining.
