Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* HeroesWantRedHeads: Luna's hair is a pretty shade of red and Ten clearly has a crush on her, so this trope seems to be in effect.

* LoveAtFirstSight: Downplayed a bit, since Ten may or may not be a ChasteHero, but he and Luna connect immediately. Seta says within two months she's smiled more than through the past two years. Right after they first meet, Ten and Luna bond over a (banned...) song they both know, and when he has to leave, and Luna can't go along, she spends the afternoon crying while Ten mopes and gushes to Gregor about how wonderful she is (Gregor advises him to be patient).

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Dagger wears a pair of shin guards but nothing on her actual feet. Luna has shown a preference for going barefoot indoors or on a ship, but will usually wear sandals in cities. Except for the time she was stuck as a PajamaCladHero for a while, but being barefoot wasn't exactly her choice there.



* {{Stripperiffic}}: Dagger is a highly skilled mercenary who fights [[DoesNotLikeShoes barefoot]] wearing only a bikini top, some kind of skirt or loincloth, and a pair of shin guards that she probably only wears because they have attached sheaths for her two knives and she's got nowhere else to keep them.

* BadassPacifist: Ten never uses violence against an ImplacableMan who never speaks a word, jumping around, dodging and bantering like he has no care in the world, until [[spoiler: he catches the man's sword with his shirt and sends him into a wall with a single well-aimed kick. Then he breaks the sword]].
-->'''Ten''': I just can't hurt anyone. Not like that.
* BanOnMagic: Probably not all magic, since Josette and Xavier's lecture only attracts city guard's attention when it turns into demonstration. But attract guards it does. It's possible Josette just isn't licensed. Then again, "an ungodly thaumathurge" wreaking havoc would be against the law anywhere.
* BarrierWarrior: The [[ImplacableMan masked assassin]] uses magical shields to contain and isolate his targets.



* BathtubScene: Luna has a rather tasteful one with surprisingly little {{fanservice}} and ShouldersUpNudity as she takes a relaxing bath. It mostly serves to show [[spoiler: her tatoo better]].

* CatharticExhalation: Luna is prone to these. After dissuading Ten from taking off his clothes (because he wanted to give her his, as she's a PajamaCladHero for now and flustered to walk the streets like this), her little breath cloud is heart-shaped.



* ColorFailure: In the {{flashback}} that begins chapter 4, Seta, when an accidentally thrown sword misses him by 'that'' much and lodges itself in the doorframe.
* CombatPragmatist: Luna will use her opponent's height against him, even in training. She also thinks nothing about throwing a lantern full of flaming oil at a creepy guy who's stalking her and Ten, then legging it.
-->'''Ten''': Luna. You just set that guy on fire.



* CuteBookworm: Luna reacts to the library in Flore with ''BishieSparkle''. She loves adventure books, has read the Farbound journals and quotes them from memory, and, in a world where books are transcribed by hand, owns a cupboard full of them. She's also socially reserved and shy.



* IdiotHero: Ten, though he's not so much an idiot as naive and happy-go-lucky to an unhealthy degree.

* InnocentFanserviceGuy: When Luna seems distressed about walking through a city in her pajamas, Ten gets the bright idea of giving her his clothes, going so far as to immediately start undressing on the spot before Luna stops him.



* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Downplayed, but during the fight in chapter 4 it's Luna who notices how much the cut on Ten's arm is bleeding, to his surprise.

** Ten has odd interactions with magic and just falls though a magical barrier that was supposed to keep him in.
* OceanPunk: The main setting. setting is just a huge ocean with artificial islands (called cities, but they also have flower and vegetable gardens on them). Dry land is just considered a myth.
