* AbusiveParents: Somewhat played for laughs with Dany's uncle, Dave, who has a bit of a HairTriggerTemper and isn't exactly a great father to his son. During the kid's sixth birthday party, when his son states he doesn't like a toy car he got as a gift. Dave response is to ''grab the birthday cake and throw it to ground''. Not like the kid was being bratty, it was just a blunt response (the aunt who gave it to him ask what wrong with it and he stated that he just liked trains is all) and again, ''a six year old''. Naturally Dany's mother and aunt call him out on it.
* CreatingLife: A crux of the story which deals with Dany having to take responsibility for her creations.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Dany at the start, she ''does'' have friends from her old school, but grew distant upon reaching 7th grade and feels she can't talk with them anymore due to being in the different classes and lunch periods, which is what drives her to create Madison. Though later she eventually starts making friends just by talking to people and she manages to reconcile with her old friends later on.
* RealityEnsues:
** Naturally when you make a person without much backstory and bring them to life especially as a teen, they'll start to question the holes in logic in their life such as why they haven't heard from their parents.
** Madison tries to make a body for Neptune but since it's one without a head it's just limp bunch of flesh whom Neptune can barely control with his powers. Ultimately Dany and Madison are forced to bury it in the backyard of Dany's house.
** After Dany reveals to Madison that she created her, Madison naturally doesn't take it well since her life was fabricated up to that point and rejects Dany's offer to make her parents.
** When Madison decides to go off on her own, she tries to go to save at a hotel, but they won't allow minors without parents. So she bums at a "Wol-Mart" but is eventually found by security. After the police find she has no parents (Madison just states they abandoned her), she's put up into a foster home.
** One of the first people that that Dany brings to life (albeit accidentally)is the head of Prince Neptune, an anime character from a Sailor Moon type series. The thing is though, in-universe, he's an ''anti-villain'' at best and doesn't understand that Dany's world isn't the same as the one he comes from.
** After battle with Neptune, the school ends up wrecked and the student are relocated to other schools until repairs are finished.
* SenshiSendUp: Solar Sisters which is pretty obviously based on ''Manga/SailorMoon''.

Though later she eventually starts making friends just by talking to people and she manages to reconcile with her old friends later on.
* RealityEnsues:
** Naturally when you make a person without much backstory and bring them to life especially as a teen, they'll start to question the holes in logic in their life such as why they haven't heard from their parents.
** Madison tries to make a body for Neptune but since it's one without a head it's just limp bunch of flesh whom Neptune can barely control with his powers. Ultimately Dany and Madison are forced to bury it in the backyard of Dany's house.
** After Dany reveals to Madison that she created her, Madison naturally doesn't take it well since her life was fabricated up to that point and rejects Dany's offer to make her parents.
** When Madison decides to go off on her own, she tries to go to save at a hotel, but they won't allow minors without parents. So she bums at a "Wol-Mart" but is eventually found by security. After the police find she has no parents (Madison just states they abandoned her), she's put up into a foster home.
** One of the first people that that Dany brings to life (albeit accidentally)is the head of Prince Neptune, an anime character from a Sailor Moon type series. The thing is though, in-universe, he's an ''anti-villain'' at best and doesn't understand that Dany's world isn't the same as the one he comes from.
** After battle with Neptune, the school ends up wrecked and the student are relocated to other schools until repairs are finished.
* SenshiSendUp: Solar Sisters which is pretty obviously based on ''Manga/SailorMoon''.
* SuperEmpowering: Once Prince Neptune manages to draw himself a new body, Dany uses the book to make the rings from "Solar Sisters" to give to her friends to help fight against the shadow monsters Neptune creates.
