* BerserkButton: Whatever you do, don’t hurt Rosario
* Blessed with suck: Arkay’s lightning powers mean she can’t use normal computers without shorting them out
* ButtMonkey:Meph
* ContagiousHeroism: Most of the people who meet Rosario wind up catching her perspective on life.

* He who fights monsters: “Those who are monsters already should see to it that they fight other monsters. If you and the abyss are going to be eye-f*cking all day, you might as well exchange phone numbers.“
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Whose side [[Spoiler:Meph]] is on changes with every book.
* HotBlooded: Arkay in spades
* HulkingOut: any time a dragon gets sufficiently hurt or upset, it goes into a full-blown rampage of destruction, and also lose their ability to comprehend speech.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters
* KillerRabbit: Arkay is short, shrimpy, and acts like a ditz. Don’t get her mad.
* {{Masquerade}}
* MonsterMash
* MoralityChain: Rosa for Arkay, and Arkay for [[Spoiler:Meph]]

* MoralityPet
* MundaneFantastic: Arkay uses her super strength to change a tire and a succubus works in IT
* OurDragonsAreDifferent
* OurMonstersAreDifferent

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Also extinct
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Arkay

* PostModernMagik
* StockMonsterSymbolism: subverted, in that most of these monsters are just trying to live their daily lives without getting murdered by monster hunters
* SuperMode: Arkay when she goes “Big and Scaly”
* TermsOfEndangerment: Arkay usually takes whatever condescending pet name you just used on her and throws it back at you, usually while carving her name into your chest. The Contessa uses Germanic words that sound like endearments but decidedly aren’t: Little snake for Arkay, and for Meph a word that either means prisoner or songbird.
* TheDragon: Arkay is this to Rosario at the beginning of the series
* TheHeart: Rosario
* TheLadette: Arkay
* ThePowerOfLove: a good reason not to take Rosario lightly

* UrbanFantasy
* VanHelsingHateCrimes: monsters live in fear of [[spoilers:the Order]]
* WaifFu: Arkay doesn’t look anywhere near as strong as she actually is
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Rosario has an almost superhuman affinity with monsters. The fact that her best friend is a violently overprotective dragon helps.
* WhatMeasureIsANonhuman
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Despite the fact that they have access to guns, [[BreathWeapon can breathe dangerous substances]], and are strong enough to pick up cars, dragons are weirdly prone to strangling their enemies.

* HeroicSecondWind: Arkay gets up after [[Spoiler:getting hit by a truck and having a building dropped on her,]] and then immediately hits her PostVictoryCollapse]
* ImAHumanitarian: Ghouls have to eat human meat or suffer horrible consequences. Some of them try to offset the squick by taking from already-deceased organ donors.

But he was right about other things, too: the world doesn’t work like it does in movies. Because in real life, people don’t have to sit still during the villain’s monologue.”
