* SoleSurvivor: Winter is this of her student team. They investigated a soldier's death and didn't realize that another soldier had killed the victim and made it look like the Grimm had done it. He panicked and tried to kill them as well, poisoning the leader and shooting another. The third took her own life after the fact, unable to deal with the loss. It's part of the reason Winter is so supportive of JCKP [[spoiler: once they accept the Warden missions in Vale]]. She's determined not to see it happen again.

** Winter is this as well, maintaining a stiff and professional demeanor at nearly all times. She will also take time out of her day to talk one of her students through a low point over tea and snacks to help them recover, as well as joke around subtly with people she trusts like Ironwood and other Specialists like Clover and Marrow.

* YouAreNotAlone: Winter makes it a point to say this to Jaune [[spoiler: after one of the Warden operations goes bad and JCKP is ambushed by the White Fang and Cinder, escaping by the skin of their teeth]]. She affirms that she and Atlas as a whole is fully behind their team and will do whatever it takes to make sure they have the support they need.

JCKP manages to keep their cover as Atlas students (mostly) intact and "accidentally" finds the train tunnel to Mountain Glenn and seals it just before Torchwick tries to breach Vale.

Because of one first-year team from Atlas that she likely never heard of, Salem's goal of gathering the Maiden powers has been pushed back ''decades'', and the Huntsman Academies are now even closer than ever before (except for Haven Academy, where Leonardo Lionheart is about to be ousted from office for pushing back against the huntsman exchange program).]]

* ForWantOfANail: Jaune sent his faked transcripts to Beacon, but in this story he chose Atlas as a reserve school on his application. Therefore, he is rejected from Beacon yet accepted by Atlas. Jaune befriends Flynt Coal, Neon Katt, and Penny Polendina on the first day he arrives. This assures that Team FNKI will not form and that Penny will not team up with Ciel Soleil.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: In the final chapter, JCKP decides to pay back the Ace-Ops for springing their last assessment on them a week early (causing them to fail) by 'running counter-ops' even earlier on the next one (read: setting up an elaborate prank ending with all the Ace-Ops almost literally tarred and feathered, then cuffed) because good soldiers must always be on guard and it's best practice to stop the enemy before their plan happens instead of after. Ironwood can barely keep his composure while taking the report only to laugh at it with Winter after everyone else is out of the room.

** In canon, Jaune (along with RWBY, Nora and Ren) had a strong working relationship with the Ace-Ops before things went south, forcing them to become adversaries. Here, Jaune has a much stronger and more positive relationship with the Ace-Ops, even taking lessons from them alongside his team with the hopes to one day become Specialists themselves.
Added DiffLines:
** In canon, Neo gained an intense hatred for Ruby due to believing her to be responsible for Torchwick's death. Here, that vendetta is transferred to Jaune, who ''is'' responsible for Torchwick's death (albeit unintentionally, due to having caused the train he was driving to crash and kill him). [[spoiler:Even by the end of the fic, her hatred of him and desire to kill him remains strong, to the point she tries to take a flight to Atlas to try and kill him (an act that ensures she will fail and get caught by Atlas authorities).]]
