* DefiantToTheEnd: Yang knows she has no chance against Salem, but she decides to inject her full of bombs and blow her up anyway. Then when she's pinned to the floor, she defiantly hisses that Salem has wrought all this death and destruction because [[DisproportionateRetribution something bad happened to her once]].
* DisappointedByTheMotive: Yang states that all the chaos and destruction Salem has done and is currently doing is all because she got slighted and didn't get the happy ending she felt she deserved.

* StepfordSmiler: Yang is confirmed to be one by [[TheEmpath Ren]], who tells her she doesn't need to cover up all her fears with jokes.
