Added DiffLines:

* CardboardBoxHome: Marinette has to sleep in one after her life falls apart and she loses both her family and her access to the Agreste mansion. She eventually gets out of it by escaping to the Guardians' monastery, though as a slave in all but name she's not really much better off.


Added DiffLines:

* MadeASlave: Su-Han agrees to help Marinette escape from a lynch mob and teleports her to the Order's monastery, but only in exchange for her doing onerous and backbreaking work. As Marinette cannot leave (having no other home or resources), she's stuck at the monastery and forced to serve the monks indefinitely. Su-Han even rubs this in by forcing her to use a scarf she deeply valued (the one she gave to Adrien) as a cleaning rag, emphasizing how she has no say in her situation and must do whatever he says.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Luka is crueler to Juleka in this story than in the original, where he was gentle with her as he tried to chart a course between his love for her and his knowledge of how she'd hurt his crush Marinette. Here he yells at her in the middle of a party after she says she is worried about Adrien's fate.

** Su-Han may be an abrasive jerk in the original show, but he takes it to the next level in this story. He first plans on leaving Marinette to be lynched by an angry mob. When Marinette points out that she saved him and the rest of the Order from being kept in Feast's belly for all eternity, meaning he owes her, he relents... only to exploit how she has nowhere else to go by turning her into a virtual slave in his monastery.


Added DiffLines:

** Given how Su-Han was willing to leave Marinette for dead and--when he was talked out of that--ultimately chose to enslave her, he qualifies for this trope as well.

Added DiffLines:

* KarmicShunning: Part of Marinette's own karma backfiring on her is the entirety of Paris turning on her overnight once Adrien's true role in the final fight with Hawk Moth is revealed and how she and her allies did nothing to save Adrien from this fate back in ''The Karma of Lies''. It only gets worse when [[spoiler:Lila manages to record footage of Marinette's own creepy behaviour towards Adrien and by the end, even the Miraculous Temple and the rest of the Kwami are giving her the cold shoulder.]]


Added DiffLines:

* NoNameGiven: [[spoiler:Both Lila's Rabbit form and Ox/Monkey hybrid form are never given any names by her, resorting to the narrative to still just call her Lila.]]

* AlasPoorVillain: For a [[AdaptationalJerkass salt fic]], [[spoiler: Marinette's]] fate is treated with a surprising amount of pathos and solemnity. While she's unambiguously HatedByAll by the end of this fic. Her final scene with [[spoiler: the Guardians in Tibet]] is treated as a tragedy, and paints her in a very pitiable light.

* VengeanceDenied: After Lila [[spoiler:steals the Miracle Box]], Marinette decides to get her back for it (and hopefully regain her good name). [[spoiler:The amount of time Marinette had to postpone her search because of the messes her karmic backfire piled on her was long enough for Lila to master the Miraculous, leading to her inflicting a CurbStompBattle on Marinette when she arrives to her apartment in Switzerland and [[ExitVillainStageRight running away]]. The next time anybody in Paris hears of her, it's a notification she was murdered, which becomes a footnote in the tragedy of Marinette's downfall.]]
