* {{Asexuality}}: Sonya is suspected to be this by a few characters. Although she toys with the idea of possibly being lesbian, Vixen Tail has her confirmed as demisexual.

* NotSoDifferent: Sonya wonders how Cherep, who markedly dislikes Renato, could possibly forget his name. A few chapters later, Sonya persistently fails to name a nurse she dislikes.

* MeaningfulRename: By the time Sonya meets up with her [[spoiler: birth father]] again, she's had enough pent-up disgust and anger, plus enough time to bond with her adopted family that she changes her last name to [[spoiler: Bazanova]]. From then on, she only uses 'Nikishina' as a sometimes-alias.

* EverybodyKnewAlready: Turns out Sonya and Cherep's secret background before coming to the circus wasn't as secret to [[spoiler: the ''Großes Volksfest'']] as they'd thought. [[spoiler: Magicians and circus performers]] apparently had a huge tendency to be [[spoiler: Mists in hiding]].

* MistakenNationality: Sonya thinks Bjǫrn is Finnish, until she finds out that he's an Icelander.

* WarRefugees: The Großes Volksfest sneaks some Jewish refugees out of Egypt by disguising them as performers and dockworkers.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Bjǫrn looks a few years older than he really is.

* AlternateHistory: Sonya has some trouble in her history classes until she realizes that the historical events of her previous life didn’t necessarily occur the same way in her new life. For example: [[spoiler: Hitler was assassinated, which led to WWII being extended a few years, the Cold War never got into a paranoid arms race and greater technological development all around.]]

* BlessedWithSuck: Poor, poor Cherep. [[spoiler: Immortality isn't as fun when it lets you survive being accidentally “killed” by your parents, kidnapped, repeatedly abused, and possibly “dying” more than once, lost far away from your home country with no papers and no money. He was lucky that Sonya liked him, or it might have been worse, though there’s still the threat of the Zolotovs taking advantage of him for their own gain.]]

* CircusBrat: Cherep and Sonya go on to become this after Sonya is “done” with her training.

* EverybodyKnewAlready: Turns out Sonya and Cherep's secret background before coming to the circus wasn't as secret to [[spoiler: the ''Großes Volksfest'']] as they'd thought. [[spoiler: Magicians and circus performers]] apparently had a huge tendency to be [[spoiler: Mists in hiding]].

* GloriousMotherRussia: where Sonya and her “family” live.

* HitmanWithAHeart: [[spoiler: After most of Renato’s contacts get mobbed down by a Don with a grudge, he takes in one of said contact’s orphaned son, despite having no obligation to do so and no idea how to take care of him.]]

* JustifiedCriminal: Sonya was dumped into her criminal family to escape a FateWorseThanDeath and as a small child, there’s no way for her to leave, refuse the “training”, or the obligation to repay said training.

* MistakenNationality: Sonya thinks Bjǫrn is Finnish, until she finds out that he's an Icelander.

* SuperStrength: Sonya’s default application of [[spoiler: her Cloud flames]].

* WarRefugees: The Großes Volksfest sneaks some Jewish refugees out of Egypt by disguising them as performers and dockworkers.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Bjǫrn looks a few years older than he really is.

It tells the story of Sonya Nikishina, a young Russian thief that was, once upon a time, a girl by the name Rachel Victoria Stokes, an American college graduate who had died in a mugging gone wrong. Sonya has the memories of Rachel, which include details about an anime called ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn''... and guess who has apparently been reincarnated into said anime?

* {{Adorkable}}: Cherep might just be the definition of this. In fact, Sonya calls him this in-narration.
