Added DiffLines:

* AscendedExtra: Alice, the girl who Camille shares a room with in care, is unnamed, is mentioned in the two lines in the book, and has no dialogue.

Added DiffLines:

* TheHecateSisters: Reconstructed. Amma is the maiden (sexually-active, adventurous, and even associated with Artemis), though this counts as TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior as she's a young teenager. Adora is the mother: she's obsessed with taking care of girls, even those that don't want her (like Camille), and [[spoiler:her "medicines" are poisonous.]] Camille is the crone. She remains single and unmarried, despite her ShipTease with Richard, being regarded as young and beautiful, and being repeatedly told that she should have a baby by Amma and her toxic friends. [[spoiler:She does a better job at taking care of Amma than Adora did, but it ultimately goes wrong.]]

* HotterAndSexier: Adora and her relationships with men. In the book, Adora seems to have less than no interest in men, and seems to regard them as merely a way to get her what she wants (children). While she cosies up to Alan to get what she wants, they don't seem to have sex, or even express physical affection for each other. In the series, she and Alan have aggressive sex after an argument, and it's heavily implied that she's having an affair with Chief Vickery.

* EnfantTerrible: Amma--she knows how to manipulate just about anybody she comes up against, behaves in decidedly unchildlike ways around others but adopts a disturbingly childlike persona around her mother, [[spoiler: and of course, violently murdered three young girls]].

* {{Mammy}}: In the series, the Crellins' maid, Gayla, is [[TokenMinority the only visible black person]] in Wind Gap. This is a RaceLift; in the book, the character is white.



* OnceMoreWithClarity: The show frequently flashes back to images seen earlier, but after new context that sheds new light. For example, Camille's car has "dirt" drawn into the dust covering the trunk. Once it's revealed that [[spoiler:she carves dispaaging words about herself on her skin]], the show flashes back to the word, making it clear that Camille drew the word in reference to herself.
