* OverusedRunningGag: In the first book, the first words out of the mouths of no less than four HMS ''Merlin'' ratings and midshipmen upon meeting Alexis are, [[CaptainObvious "You're a girl!"]] This is finally turned on its head when she tries to head it off with Dudgeon, the ship's carpenter, by introducing herself with, "I'm a girl."

* PintSizedPowerhouse: Alexis tops out at a scant meter and a half by the time she stops growing (she's fourteen when the series begins), and is one of the CombatPragmatist variety since she's way too small to meet strength with strength. In addition to fighting dirty, she learns martial arts from Royal Marines she serves with, and once thrashes a male member of her crew in the sparring ring to prove it trumps GoodOldFisticuffs.

* SecretTestOfCharacter: "Secret" is pushing it, but the midshipman's exam is as much a test of the officer candidate's ability to handle the stress of command as it is a knowledge test, being that it consists mainly of three or more senior officers screaming theoretical scenarios at the middie for hours on end. Roland failed it at least six times due to second-guessing himself.
