* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The notion of being ashamed of your heritage and trying to "pass" as mortal brings to mind similar actions among BIPOC and queer communities, whose members might also try to pretend (both physically and personality-wise) to be more like other people to avoid bullying or discrimination. Also, racism is something deeply ingrained in us and affects even well-intentioned people, you are not [[JustForPun magically]] immune to it, you have to willingly and continuously unlearn it and strive to do better (see JerkassRealization below).

* PerkyGoth: Luna is very upbeat and friendly, and being a modern day witch, she has a gothic sense of style.

to:

** After the resident AlphaBitch steals Fiona's wand and uses it to ruin the ball and blame witches, they ask Luna if her cousin is doing and then if ''she'' is doing it, causing her to leave shocked and saddened. They understand right away (before Fiona even walks away) why it was wrong and hurtful, and apologize profusely once she comes back, acknowledging that there is no justification for their actions.

* TakeThat: When Fiona admonishes Luna against taking a wand with her at school, she uses the reason that it's dangerous. Fiona's answer? "I thought it didn't matter in this country".

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Fiona is clearly in the wrong for hiding her witch heritage and trying to "pass" for mortal, especially because people already know the truth. But Luna realizes that it's also wrong for her to decry Fiona's anger and desire to fit in, since she's never experienced any FantasticRacism herself (Luna grew up among other witches and doesn't know what it's like to not be accepted for who you are).

* AlphaBitch: Madison, who ridicules Fiona and Luna for being witches and steaks a magic wand to ruin the dance and frame Fiona for it.
* FantasticRacism: While witches seem to live in harmony with mortals, there's still an alpha bitch who mocks her for being one, and Luna accuses the teacher of calling on them during a witch related lesson just because their witches. His defensive is that he "voted for a witch in the last election".

* JerkassRealization: At first, Luna does not understand why Fiona gets mad at her for flaunting her witch roots, with her outfit and doing spells at school. She ignores Fiona’s wish to not do magic or any other things that are normal for witches. Then, over time, Luna realizes that while she was lucky to grow up among other witches and warlocks, where she was part of the crowd, Fiona grew up the odd one out in a town of mortals, meaning it’s harder for her, as a witch, to find a sense of belonging.

In a world where witches and mortals live in harmony, Fiona just wants to fit in with her non-magical classmates in her non-magical school. That proves to be harder than before when her fresh-off-the-broomstick cousin comes over.

!! Tropes:

* AlphaBitch: Madison, who ridicules Fiona and Luna for being witches and steaks a magic wand to ruin the dance and frame Fiona for it.
* HidingYourHeritage: A supernatural example. Fiona wears contacts and makeup products to hide her purple eyes, her witch birthmark, her wart, and the white streaks in her hair, all trademark physical traits of witches. She also avoids using magic whenever she can, even though everyone already knows she’s a witch.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Fiona, a witch who has grown up in a human town and gone to human school, wants to fit in with her friends and crush, all of whom are mortal. She hides her physical witch traits and rarely ever does magic, even though everyone knows she has it.
* JerkassRealization: At first, Luna does not understand why Fiona gets mad at her for flaunting her witch roots, with her outfit and doing spells at school. She ignores Fiona’s wish to not do magic or any other things that are normal for witches. Then, over time, Luna realizes that while she was lucky to grow up among other witches and warlocks, where she was part of the crowd, Fiona grew up the odd one out in a town of mortals, meaning it’s harder for her, as a witch, to find a sense of belonging.
