* DisappearedDad: Nagi's father. She mentions that he’s fond of traveling, going from one place to the next. By the time the story begins, he’s on his longest one yet.
* FearOfThunder: Asa isn’t fond of it, along with loud noises in general.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodSpider: Asa, though anyone who first sees them disagrees with this notion. Belle's father brings up the possibility that it is still a baby.

* OffscreenTeleportation: For an animal as big a person Asa’s quite nimble and they hardly even make much of a sound. It's because of the latter that Nagi doesn't notice it wrecked the window on her rooftop to get in, and only finds out once it started raining.
* {{Planimal}}: The abdomen of Asa is covered in foliage. After molting their old skin in Chapter 13, Asa has a completely new set of vegetation on its back suggesting this to be the case.
