!! Puppet AU provides examples of:
* AFriendInNeed: Everyone of Ruby's friends want to save her from Cinder's control. [[spoiler:An illusion of Weiss tells Ruby in her head this fact which gives Ruby the resolve to fight again to help her friends.]]
* ArmorPiercingSlap: [[spoiler:Blake delivers one to Yang in Chapter 8.5 when Yang suggests that Blake doesn't care about Ruby.]]
* AdaptationalHeroism: Several villainous characters from canon are slightly less villainous here due to their self interest no long aligning with Cinder's.
** Torchwick decides to help Team RWBY to help save Ruby due to Cinder ordering his death.
** Adam decides to fight against Cinder after she proves to be more of a threat to him and the White Fang.
* ArtEvolution: The artwork changes a lot over the course of the story.
* BigSisterInstinct: Unsurprisingly Yang's most notable trait. Even when she should be resting in the hospital, she refuses to stay sidelined while Cinder is controlling Ruby.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Ruby was given this treatment by Cinder.
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Amber the previous Fall Maiden dies prior to when she would die in canon.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Adam is disturbed by the dead look in slave Ruby's eyes. He can tell that Cinder is controlling her, and his lieutenant believes that Adam actually feels sorry for her.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Penny literally delivers Emerald this when she finds out that Emerald played a role in kidnapping and brainwashing Ruby Rose.
* MythologyGag: Certain offhanded references to what happens in canon show up from time to time.
** Yang references how she'd sacrifice her arms and legs to save Ruby while she did lose an arm in canon while trying to save Blake.
** [[spoiler:Penny beats up Emerald who is primarily responsible for her death in canon.]]
** [[spoiler:Cinder nearly kills Pyrrha the same way she does in canon, but Ruby regains control at the last moment and misses.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Utilized multiple times to make it clear how messed up the situation is:
** Ruby acting out of character makes it clear to everyone that she is being controlled, such as Ren noticing her bloodlust.
** The normally cheerful Penny becomes outright furious and violent after learning of what Emerald and her associates did to Ruby.
** Emerald crying after being beaten by Penny shows even she has a breaking point.
** [[spoiler:When the Cinder controlled Ruby nearly beats Ren to death, Nora is enraged to the point she temporarily forgets that Ruby doesn't have any control.]]
* PantyShot: Averted. The author states he'll avoid these.
* SpiderSense: When Ruby is tied up and attempts to convince Team JNPR to release her, Ren sees through the tricks. Ren can sense Cinder's bloodlust while controlling Ruby and points out that Ruby would never feel this way.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Both Penny and Pyrrha are sparred from their canonical fates.]]
* TakingUpTheMantle: More like taking up the Cape. At the end of Chapter 5, Weiss borrows Ruby's cape and promises to return it after they have saved her from Cinder.
* UnstoppableRage: Played straight and averted. In Chapter 8.5, the rage Yang feels towards Cinder for everything she has done to Ruby causes her to keep marching towards Cinder's hideout until Blake convinces her to slow down.
