* IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship: The reason Dora gives for holding back with starting a serious relationship with Miron.



* RelationshipUpgrade: In book 3, Dora and Miron go from JustFriends to OfficialCouple.



* SequelHook: At the end of both ''Gods Must Be Crazy'' and ''Winner Takes It All''.



* SlaveToPR: Baal is respected as Hell Prince mostly because he has a reputation of "murderous son-of-a-bitch", meaning that if he openly admitted his JerkWithAHeartOfGold personality, he'd be knifed within days.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Most of Dora's perceived attractiveness comes from her fertility-witch magic. When [[spoiler:Jezebel]] charms her, multiplying the effect, she's attacked twice on the way home by would-be rapists.
** Not to mention that when she converses with her male friends who are in relationships, their girlfriends start suspecting that she's flirting.
* SmellsSexy: Dora for werewolves and vampires. And (considering their manners), she's quite unhappy about the fact and tries her hardest to hide it.

At the end start of both ''Gods Must Be Crazy'' the series, Dora and ''Winner Takes It All''.Miron are attracted to each other despite their preference to remain JustFriends. It's mostly because Dora's used to people lusting after her because of her powers rather than actual attraction and thus has problems with being intimate with people. TheyDo, though.

* TalkingInYourDreams: Happens to Dora several times:
** All of her conversations with Badb happen this way.
** MotherNature visit her in a dream at one point to give her a mission.
** Baal has a dream conversation with her on the topic of children and marriage.
** Dora herself interrogates a witness to [[spoiler:coup d'etat in Hell]] in a dream vision of the future. It's unsure, however, how he ''czart'' she talked with can remember the conversation later.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: Played straight with Miron, but not with Joshua, despite the fact that both are 350 years old. Justified in Joshua's case - if angel sleep with woman who's fertile, the chance of her getting pregnant is roughly 100% percent. Joshua would be bound to marry her, and he don't want to settle down yet.

** Szelma can transform into a cat.
** Badb and Loki can take the shape of any animal they want to, although the former prefers a giant crow.

* ShapeshifterShowdown: Badb and Loki fight this way in the end of ''Gods Must Be Crazy'', shifting forms to be as effective as possible. One of them manages to gain an edge only when [[spoiler:Faoilinara forces them into wolf form, in which Badb is much more proficient.]]
