* HardLight: Sotomayor University has a hard light hologram system (provided by Holotech Ed. Inc.) that's used for simulations in lessons. Professor Douglas warns America that any mishaps within a simulation - such as being hit by a poison arrow or falling into a frozen screen - will have some real consequences, but students will then be teleported to the nurses's office.

Off Model has a clear "Please do not add examples to work pages" note. Cutting.


* OffModel: Due to the revolving cast of artists, pencilers and inkers, most issues tend to draw America contrary to her canon appearance. Her face usually has strong, sharp facial features, but some artists will draw her with a more feminine appearance. Other artists exaggerate her features and make her look very masculine. This is most obvious in the seventh issue, where the pages are divided between six different artists.
** It's most prominent with the issues done by Ramon Villalobos, where America's face varies heavily between pages. Characters also suffer from bouts of poor anatomy, incorrect body sizes and varying heights.
** The first issue features America effortlessly backhanding a bomb. But her image is cut off before reaching the panel, making it look like she's doesn't have anything below her waist.

* AcademyOfAdventure: Satomayor University has a ridiculous amount of amenities, despite apparently being an arts college. This includes a chamber that can create HardLight technology for simulations. The school also accepts people from other dimensions, as well as people with superpowers.

Author Appeal is defined as a 'gimmick or kink'. The presence of a largely WOC cast in a series starring a queer WOC shouldn't qualify.

* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: Every non-white antagonist is only acting in a negative manner because of circumstances - the Guerillas only kidnapped Lisa to get America's attention and have her save Malixta, and Magdalena only kidnapped America because Arcade was using her father as leverage. This even extends to [[{{Chupacabra}} La Legion]], whose presence on Fuertona was not meant to be malicious, and simply lacked the ability to communicate their goals to the natives.
