!!The Constance Verity book series:
* ''Literature/TheLastAdventureOfConstanceVerity''
* ''Literature/ConstanceVeritySavesTheWorld''
* ''Literature/ConstanceVerityDestroysTheUniverse''
----
!! Tropes prevalent across the whole series:
* AncientArtifact: Connie keeps a personal hoard of unusual objects from her adventures in her apartment, including a book-shelf full of grimoires, the last gold coin of the Last Leprechaun King, a cursed idol that induces vampirism, a petrified snake that grants wishes, an alien ray gun, a part for a time-machine given to her by her future self for reasons she'd need later, etc. After she has her spell lifted, the first thing she does when she gets home is pack all of them up and sends them to various allies and acquaintances that would get more use out of them than her.
* TheChosenOne: Constance Verity is "The Snurkhab", a sort of MessiahArchetype who's destined for greatness, a grand, intergalactic conspiracy having been established to ensure that she fulfills her destiny and save the universe(s) from whatever threatens it. In her case, it makes her into a WeirdnessMagnet that has to slay every monster, unearth every AncientConspiracy and free every oppressed civilization she stumbles across. Root describes her as a sort of "corrective measure" for a universe that requires constant maintenance. [[spoiler:In the climax of the first book, it's revealed that her status as the Chosen One is the result of an anomaly within The Engine's attempts at instill order onto a disorderly multiverse, making her "the embodiment of everything unpredictable."]]
* ConspiracyKitchenSink: The world has so many secret societies -- both [[NebulousEvilOrganisation evil]] and [[BenevolentConspiracy benign]] -- that it's a wonder that they aren't all busy going to war with each other instead of Constance. And that's not even going into Area51, mind-controlling fungus, androids, the Loch Ness Monster (which Connie had to save four times), The Great Engine that regulates the universe, supervillains, etc.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: While Connie is TheChosenOne, she isn't the only adventurer out there thwarting disaster. There's Professor Arthur Arcane (ghost-expert), Dr. Ishiro Hirata (the world's leading Kaiju expert and mech-pilot), Doctor Dynasty (Master of Mystic Arts), Eloise Purvis (leader of the World Crime League Task Force), Mariana Challenger (Explorer of the Unknown), Caligula Fox (World's Greatest Detective), Amun (an immortal mummy from Ancient Egypt), Peter Tachyon (Master of Time) and countless others.
* MasterOfAll: Being a globe-trotting adventurer, Constance Verity is fluent in seventeen languages, can type two-hundred words a minute, can fix any machine, can run a mile in four minutes (if she has a good pair of shoes), knows shorthand, is moderately talented at softball, can live on only an hour of sleep a night, learned {{Escape Artist}}ry from the ghost of Creator/HarryHoudini and is even able to fight in the Seven Deadly Styles of Martian Kung Fu, a martial art that wasn't even designed for the human anatomy. Really, it's easier to explain what she ''can't'' do, ''and she never went to school.''
* SeenItAll: Much of the series's humor comes from the fact that while the various villains and heroes of the many adventures Connie goes on are matters of great importance to them, Connie has been on so many adventures and thwarted so many disasters that she has grown numb to all of it and acknowledges how ridiculous it all is.
--> '''The Countess:''' You have spirit, Miss Verity.\\
'''Connie:''' You'll enjoy breaking it. ''[{{Beat}}]'' That was what you were going to say next, right?
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: While the freedom fighters and supervillains that traffic in Connie's adventures certainly take their work seriously, all of the normal people in Connie's off-hours all seem to find the fantastical elements that permeate their world as more quant that anything worth fussing over. The exception to this is Tia, who's been KidnappedByTheCall so often that she gets antsy the longer she goes without an adventure.
* WeirdnessMagnet: Half the time, Constance isn't looking for unusual SpeculativeFiction-style adventures, but she winds up stumbling into them and has to fight her way out. Being that she's Constance Verity, she's capable of doing just that, but having done it for so long, she begins to suffer from HeroicFatigue.
--> ''Everywhere Connie went, adventure might be lurking.''
* WorldOfWeirdness: Pretty much every SpeculativeFiction plot, setting and mechanics you can imagine exists within the world the series is set in. Time travel, space travel, barbarians, lost civilizations, aliens, demons, mole men, magic, fairies, ghosts, wormholes, eldritch horrors from beyond; you name it, it exists here.

In her case, it makes her into a WeirdnessMagnet that has to slay every monster, unearth every AncientConspiracy and free every oppressed civilization she stumbles across. Root describes her as a sort of "corrective measure" for a universe that requires constant maintenance. [[spoiler:In the climax of the first book, it's revealed that her status as the Chosen One is the result of an anomaly within The Engine's attempts at instill order onto a disorderly multiverse, making her "the embodiment of everything unpredictable."]]
* ConspiracyKitchenSink: The world has so many secret societies -- both [[NebulousEvilOrganisation evil]] and [[BenevolentConspiracy benign]] -- that it's a wonder that they aren't all busy going to war with each other instead of Constance. And that's not even going into Area51, mind-controlling fungus, androids, the Loch Ness Monster (which Connie had to save four times), The Great Engine that regulates the universe, supervillains, etc.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: While Connie is TheChosenOne, she isn't the only adventurer out there thwarting disaster. There's Professor Arthur Arcane (ghost-expert), Dr. Ishiro Hirata (the world's leading Kaiju expert and mech-pilot), Doctor Dynasty (Master of Mystic Arts), Eloise Purvis (leader of the World Crime League Task Force), Mariana Challenger (Explorer of the Unknown), Caligula Fox (World's Greatest Detective), Amun (an immortal mummy from Ancient Egypt), Peter Tachyon (Master of Time) and countless others.
* MasterOfAll: Being a globe-trotting adventurer, Constance Verity is fluent in seventeen languages, can type two-hundred words a minute, can fix any machine, can run a mile in four minutes (if she has a good pair of shoes), knows shorthand, is moderately talented at softball, can live on only an hour of sleep a night, learned {{Escape Artist}}ry from the ghost of Creator/HarryHoudini and is even able to fight in the Seven Deadly Styles of Martian Kung Fu, a martial art that wasn't even designed for the human anatomy. Really, it's easier to explain what she ''can't'' do, ''and she never went to school.''
* SeenItAll: Much of the series's humor comes from the fact that while the various villains and heroes of the many adventures Connie goes on are matters of great importance to them, Connie has been on so many adventures and thwarted so many disasters that she has grown numb to all of it and acknowledges how ridiculous it all is.
--> '''The Countess:''' You have spirit, Miss Verity.\\
'''Connie:''' You'll enjoy breaking it. ''[{{Beat}}]'' That was what you were going to say next, right?
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: While the freedom fighters and supervillains that traffic in Connie's adventures certainly take their work seriously, all of the normal people in Connie's off-hours all seem to find the fantastical elements that permeate their world as more quant that anything worth fussing over. The exception to this is Tia, who's been KidnappedByTheCall so often that she gets antsy the longer she goes without an adventure.
* WeirdnessMagnet: Half the time, Constance isn't looking for unusual SpeculativeFiction-style adventures, but she winds up stumbling into them and has to fight her way out. Being that she's Constance Verity, she's capable of doing just that, but having done it for so long, she begins to suffer from HeroicFatigue.
--> ''Everywhere Connie went, adventure might be lurking.''
* WorldOfWeirdness: Pretty much every SpeculativeFiction plot, setting and mechanics you can imagine exists within the world the series is set in. Time travel, space travel, barbarians, lost civilizations, aliens, demons, mole men, magic, fairies, ghosts, wormholes, eldritch horrors from beyond; you name it, it exists here.
