* ChekhovsParty: Early on, Noboru invites the nobles to a lavish party, which the protagonist sneaks in by surreptitiously getting an invitation or through another way if they failed. [[spoiler:This turns out to be a distraction so he can plan with Rinka and his army his escape to the mountains with the Star Ball in hand.]]

* InVinoVeritas: When the protagonist follows Noboru into the bar, they can offer to refill his cup with rice wine to trick him into spilling more information about the Star Ball.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Regardless of the protagonist's gender, their relationship with Ren or Kusora is this, but this trope is played straight if the protagonist identifies as female while Ren is a boy and gender-inverted if vice-versa.

* TransTribulations: If the protagonist decides to hang out with Kusora during the party, they'll confess that [[spoiler:they felt lost in the world growing up because they didn't identify as a dog fox (male) or a vixen. Even if their family loved them, they believed that they were going through a phase and hoped that they'd come out as "normal". Once they started serving Inari, they felt more comfortable as themself, realizing that labels such as gender or race don't define who they are on the inside as they only divide them and cause conflict.]] Whether the protagonist is dating or befriending them, Kusora will thank them for listening to them and grow even closer to them.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler:After learning about their mother's death to a fox spirit, Ren views the protagonist with contempt after they've bonded. If the protagonist kills Daichi but fails to justify themself, Ren will cut ties with them and beat them up before leaving, and will hate them even more if the protagonist tried manipulating them with a charm. Ren will also cut ties with the protagonist if they severely injure Daichi, but if the latter dies to him, Ren will [[ItsAllJunk destroy all the fox paintings they've made in the epilogue, even the one of themself and the protagonist.]]]]

* RuggedScar: Chiyo has a scar running from her left eye to the base of her ear. She's not willing to talk about where she got it unless the protagonist can ask precisely ask her why so they can try learning her backstory to convince her and the Wild Masters to find a peaceful resolution with the Human Empire. [[spoiler:[[SelfHarm She scraped her muzzle against a rock wall to remind herself of the abuse that she made on her brother when she tricked him into a wolf den.]]]]

* SeldomSeenSpecies: If the protagonist isn't knowledgable enough of the world to know how to poison Daichi's crops, they'll shapeshift into a keelback snake, which is poisonous instead of venomous. It's one of the few species where calling it a "poisonous snake" is correct because it secretes poison from its skin instead of injecting its venom with its fangs. However, the keelback's poison isn't potent enough to kill humans while it can't inject venom, so the protagonist's scheme falls apart.
