** Yuu exploits this for Ace and Deuce's benefit during the duel against Riddle by pointing out that there's ''nothing'' in the description that says that the duel can be an endurance match and points out Riddle potentially having a lower stamina than a regular teen boy because of what they learned of his past from Irene. While Riddle eventually found out about the plan and stopped it, he still commends them.
** This is essentially why Yuu is allowed to use her brand of magic in Night Raven College by the staff when they learn of her use of it, as her method to conjuring and using magic is technically not illegal and had basis in the history of Twisted Wonderland, and is considered legitimate.

** Shiina Yuu was born with a strong sixth sense but due to living in an era where most people no longer believe in the supernatural, she was shunned and was labelled as a CreepyChild by her peers and even her teachers, her only ally in her elementary school was the school nurse who'd become her honorary uncle, but one incident left her completely scarred and hurt that it destroyed her initial idealism in people and the world. Just when she slowly recovered from the ordeal, [[spoiler:her grandmother passed away from old age]] and her relationship with her own family slowly starts to strain due to having to decide between the living and the dead, which convinced Yuu to easily give up in the hope of returning back to her original world.

** Unlike several fan-novelizations where the Yuu and/or Ramshackle Prefect of the story suddenly gained the ability to use magic, Yuu actually had to learn magic from ''scratch'' using the oldest known method possible due to being inherently magicless and it’s not something that her sixth sense can even cover.

However, UnreliableNarrator is in play so while a lot of Crowley's actions are in line to what he has done in canon, Crowley is seen as a bigger jerk in Yuu's head than he actually was.



* AdultsAreUseless:
** Crowley is a deconstruction in this story as his lack of involvement in Yuu's own matters and well-being end up souring her opinion of him due to Yuu having already been on the receiving end of it in her past and lost complete trust in him over time. [[spoiler:It comes to a boil when Book 6 rolls by where Yuu snapped and cut him off for trying to act on being a responsible guardian after leaving her be for as long as he did]].
** The other Night Raven College staff [[AvertedTrope averts]] this for Yuu, addressing her mistrust of them before it's too late like Crowley did.

Side stories connected to the story can be found in [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27671977 "Side B"]].



* AdaptationExpansion:
** Mrs. Rosehearts pasts is expanded upon due to the additional factor of ghosts and that of [[spoiler:Riddle's deceased aunt]] to explain how she eventually became the AbusiveParent that she was to Riddle.



* DramaticIrony: Several examples occur throughout some points of the story:
** When Yuu see's flashes of Riddle's past, [[spoiler:Riddle talks of how he had met an invisible fairy godmother and how he kept her presence a secret]]. The Side B story reveals that [[spoiler:Che'Nya not only knew who the "fairy godmother" was, the whole ploy was actually ''[=Che'Nya=]'''s Idea to give Irene a chance to communicate with her nephew without fully compromising her presence.]]
* FirstPersonSmartass: With the story written in first-person Point of View, Yuu often has snappy and snarking remarks to the things going on around her but she rarely voiced out most of them unless prompted.
For Want of a Nail:
** Lilia is the one who filled in about the exposition of Night Raven College to Yuu instead of Crowley in virtue of Yuu bumping into Lilia who was on his way to the entrance ceremony, instead of hiding in the library.
** Yuu enlisting the nearest student she can find to deal with the fires caused by Grim has those three students eventually seek her out and befriend her. This leads to the three of them eventually becoming the three extra members for the ramshackle dorm during the Magift Tournament instead of the ramshackle ghosts and additionally, friends to the 1st year group.
** Due to Yuu going shopping with Lilia for clothes and other necessities, Crowley is the one to deal with Grim instead when he invaded Ramshackle.
** Yuu stopping the fight before it officially started means that Ace, Grim and Yuu herself avoided the punishment of having to clean 100 windows while the circumstances that led to the chandelier breaking is something else.
** Due to seeing the mirage of a white haired girl wandering around Heartslabyul grounds, said girl helps them out together with Lando to escape from Riddle’s wrath at the first Unbirthday Party in the Heartslabyul chapter and eventually reveal Riddle’s past to them instead of hearing them from Chen’ya. This also led to Deuce and Grim avoiding the “Off with Your Head” treatment.
** Lilia offering to tutor Yuu in the Twisted Wonderland equivalent of Formalcraft led to Yuu eventually being considered a magician. Showing off everything that she learned under Lilia’s tutelage led to all the teachers recognizing Yuu’s potential and made a request to separate Yuu and Grim from the 2-in-1 student program so Yuu won’t be hampered by Grim’s lack of progress.

''You are now Shiina Yuu, and you are heavily disoriented''
** Yuu's advice for [[spoiler:Riddle to get up on his feet to try and make amends refers to Manga/FullmetalAlchemist, where Ed had said similar words to Rose]].
** Yuu compares the overblotted form of Riddle to be able to give the half-nightmare forms of the VideoGame/SinoAlice cast a run for their money.

!! black or white has the following tropes:

* AdaptationalBadass:
** Shiina Yuu is an example of this in contrast to the canonical Yuu due to being more willing to take matters to her hands and defend herself when prompted.
* AllThereInTheScript: After the prologue is finished, the author posts snippets of future events not covered in the main story yet in the [[https://shuuenmei.tumblr.com/tagged/Of%20things%20to%20come "Of things to come" tag]] and also in the blog's [[https://shuuenmei.tumblr.com/tagged/black%20or%20white%20%28fanfic%29 fanfiction tag]].
* DeconstructionFic: The story served as one to some aspects of the canonical Yuu's situation with a good dose of realistic consequences applied to them:
** In game, the canonical prefect is content to stay as the NonActionGuy for most parts. In ''black or white'', however, Yuu has to actually find a way to defend herself by taking Lilia’s offer to teach her how to wield the world’s mana because there is little to no stopping others from using magic on her even with the rules in place due to Night Raven College student body being majorly {{Jerkass}}es and she would get easily killed with magic due to being inherently magicless.
** Unlike several novelizations where the Yuu and/or Ramshackle Prefect of the story suddenly gained the ability to use magic, Yuu actually had to learn magic from ''scratch'' using the oldest known method possible due to being inherently magicless and it’s not something that her sixth sense can even cover.
** Unlike the game, Yuu gradually and completely lost trust in Crowley's authority over time due to Crowley reminding her of her previously apathetic teachers who were content to throw her under the bus because they couldn't bother to act as a proper teacher for a CreepyChild who can see the supernatural.
** Most fan-novelizations often make the Ramshackle Prefect be on the receiving end of a harem from the main casts. In ''black or white'', Yuu's awareness of her own weaknesses as a magicless individual made her far more guarded and hesitate to trust easily that it resulted in Yuu having a strictly platonic relationship with most of the named cast due to them noticing Yuu's guarded stance and those that actually ''do'' like her romantically can be counted by one hand.
* OCStandIn: Shiina Yuu is this to the canonical Yuu out of necessity due to the canonical Yuu being a ProtagonistWithoutAPast.
* OriginalCharacter:
* SpiritualAntithesis: With ''Fanfic/CountingSheep''. Both stories had a similar concept of an AmnesiacHero Yuu who are both TrappedInAnotherWorld. However, that's where the similarities end. ''black or white'' serves as a DeconstructionFic towards the canonical Yuu's situation and gears towards a shounen-esque take of the usual Twisted Wonderland novelizations, while ''Counting Sheep'' reconstructs aspects of it. The two Yuu's also differ both in personality and the relationship that they had with the cast. ''Counting Sheep'' Yuu is optimistic and her airheadedness garnered worry from the cast who eventually get pulled to her due to warming up to her optimism and eventually form a polyamory with her, while ''black or white''' Yuu is a snarky cynical JerkWithAHeartofGold who is far more guarded due to awareness of her own situation and doesn't trust easily, so she had a strictly platonic relationship with a majority of the cast due to them recognizing how guarded she was, while those that ''do'' like her romantically can be counted by one hand.
